Widow of late freedom fighter, Simon Kapwepwe, Salome, says the golden jubilee of Zambia’s independence is an important national event that all Zambians should celebrate.
And Lubwa Mission Superintendent, Elija Chisulo, says the golden jubilee was an important event to his institution as it was where most freedom fighters emanated from.
Mrs Kapwepwe says the jubilee of Zambia’s independence was a cardinal development that every Zambian should celebrate.
She said Zambians should not shun the jubilee celebrations because of the various social-economic challenges such as lack of employment but celebrate the jubilee in unity.
ZANIS reports that the late freedom fighter’s widow said this in an interview at her home in Chinsali district today.
Zambia this October 24 celebrates her 50th independence anniversary with a number of activities in various districts in the country.
And Lubwa Mission Superintendent, Elija Chisulo, says the jubilee was an important event to his institution as it was where most freedom fighters emanated from.
Rev Chisulo told ZANIS at Lubwa Mission that the jubilee celebrations were important to his mission as it was where the father of the nation, Kenneth Kaunda, comes from.
He said the jubilee was also significant as it was marks the coming of Christianity by late David Kaunda, the father of Dr Kaunda, who came from Malawi.
He said when the late Mr Kaunda and his wife, Nyamunyirenda, settled in the area, they collectively erected a church which attracted other missionaries from other parts of the world to do missionary work in the area.
