RENOWNED Nigerian actor and evangelist Liz Benson is in Zambia for a few day's visit.

Benson, who arrived in the country on Thursday afternoon, is expected in Ndola on Friday evening to grace a dinner which will be held in her honour at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.

She is also scheduled to preach at a women's conference which will be held at Royal Family International Church on the invitation of that congregation's senior pastor Charles Adgeman.

A talented actor and Nolly wood star Liz started acting at the age of five and made her television debut in 1993 when she starred in a locally produced series "Fortunes".

Thus in 1994 she switched her acting prowess to home movies and starred in that year's first production "True Confessions".

Apart from holding a degree in Diplomatic Arts, Liz has other accolades to her name such as the Afro Hollywood award for best actress and Reel awards.

Charges for the concert have been pegged at K20, 000 per person and the show is scheduled to take place this Sunday at Broadway cinema hall in Ndola.
