Zambia’s High Commissioner to Australia and New Zealand, Amb. (Dr.) Elias Munshya has commended the Africa Safety Award for Excellence (AfriSAFE) for the vital role it continues to play in advocating for safety and sustainability, not only in Zambia but across Africa.
Amb. Munshya also pledged his full support for the AfriSAFE initiative, which he said aligns with Zambia’s vision for promoting safety and well-being across all sectors.
The high-ranking diplomat said this after a fruitful meeting with AfriSAFE Global Vice President, Mr. Frank Mwaala Sipilanyambe, in Perth, Western Australia on Thursday.
