Madam Beene Naulapwa, Vice President of the ZANC
the association in Sacramento has graduated from law school with distinction. First lawyer in the ZANC Association. This accomplishment deserves a celebration.

She writes 👇🏽

As all the excitement from this past graduation weekend settles, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the support from my loved ones and for God’s clear hand in it all.

Three years ago, I had no idea how I was going to complete law school as a first-time mom to a one-year-old, with no clear direction on how to navigate the process and having been out of school for 3 years.

But I knew God had opened the door for a reason - meaning He would carry me through. I knew He who began a good work in me would see it through to completion. And DID.

My God showed up and showed out! And my biggest lessons in law school had nothing to do with the actual law but rather the faithfulness of God and our capability when we put our trust in Him and put our best foot forward.

Congratulations once again, and we wish you nothing but the very best in all your future endeavors!

OZA President Masheke Akashambatwa and the inceptive team!!!

OZA is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of His Majesty Paramount Chief Mpezeni IV of the Ngoni people.
He was a revered guardian of Ngoni heritage and a powerful, unifying force for Zambia's cultural diversity. His lifelong dedication and leadership will forever be woven into our nation's history.

During this difficult time, Zambians in the diaspora stand in solidarity with the Ngoni Royal Establishment, the grieving family, and the Ngoni people.

May His Majesty rest in eternal peace.

executive team🙏🏾
