Description

In April of 2017, the Lusaka Times reports that the Chinese Embassy donated K200,000 to the Esther Lungu Foundation. Esther Lungu was the first lady of Zambia at the time, and her foundation serves women and children in Zambia. The donation was handed over by the wife of Chinese Ambassador Yang Youming. Rainbow Party Secretary General Wynter Kabimba criticized the large donation and called it a sign of corruption.
