ZNS Unveils State-of-the-Art Banquet Hall Named After Major General Anthony Yeta
The Zambia National Service (ZNS) has unveiled a state-of-the-art Banquet Hall named after the 10th ZNS Commandant, Major General Anthony Yeta, at the Kafue Training School.
The facility, built using internally generated funds, stands as a testament to the visionary leadership and collective contributions of past Commandants, which have transformed ZNS into a robust and effective force.
ZNS Commander, Lieutenant General Maliti Solochi, highlighted that naming the banquet hall after Maj Gen Yeta honors his leadership and the enduring efforts of previous Commandants.
“The Banquet Hall demonstrates our expanded capacity to deliver mega and modern vertical structure projects efficiently and cost-effectively, leveraging the strength of our specialized Builders Brigade Branch,” said Lt Gen Solochi.
The versatile facility, with a capacity of 1,300 people, is intended for both public and private events, offered at competitive fees. Lt Gen Solochi noted, “This facility is a valuable asset not just to the school but to the Service as well. It also symbolizes our appreciation for the efforts of past Commandants who have shaped ZNS into what it is today.”
He expressed gratitude to President Hakainde Hichilema, Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Force, for his continued support in enhancing ZNS’s contributions to Zambia’s social and economic development.
Lt Gen Solochi also commended the Builders Brigade staff for their dedication in completing the project in just six months.
During the official unveiling, Major General Yeta expressed his gratitude to the ZNS Commander for the honor. He remarked that the gesture reflects the Service’s deep respect and admiration for its former Commandants, fostering a sense of unity and shared identity among them.
“The ongoing acknowledgment of former Commandants solidifies our connections and collective sense of direction,” said Maj Gen Yeta.
He also praised Lt Gen Solochi for his exceptional leadership and strong work ethic, noting the positive impact of ZNS programs on the Zambian people.
