President Edgar Lungu has praised the military personnel for continuing to exhibit high levels of discipline and professionalism in the execution of their duties.

President Lungu says discipline and morale go together and can be enhanced by physical fitness.

He said this when he addressed military officers who were part of the weekly routine jogging exercise in Kasama where he was joined by some residents and military personnel.

President Lungu said government always looks to the army for support and it is important that the men and women in uniform always keep fit.

He also said the country is making steady progress in combatting Non communicable diseases (NCDs).

The President however said the efforts in fighting NCDs will be analysed statistically after some time.

  1. There are more pressing national issues that need your immediate attention than rounding up soldiers to do exercises at the expense of tax payers money. In case you need your memory jogging;
    * The 48 houses mystery has not been resolved yet- get to the bottom of this
    *Corruption is the order of the day- that need sorting out
    * The economy is ailing, please don’t attribute this to climate change (another insult to our intelligence)
    The list is not exhaustive.

  2. The problem with Zambian army is that they are too political. All those are pf cadres he is praising. My partner here in the UK is an army official and he is very loyal to the queen and the country and not the party in power. We can learn a lot from the UK. However if my partner worked in Zambia he would have been killed by now due to his sexuality

    • You seem to have my name in your mouth. I thought you said you have a boyfriend who works in army. Why don’t you spend time with him. Hope he is white because from what I hear black gay men tend to be very difficult..leave me out of your problems Jay

    • So JJ is gay. Am so disappointed in your my friend. This country has eroded your values and morals. Please plan to travel back home and stay there for 3months so that you find yourself brother. You are lost. God help this poor soul. Lesa apale. Amen

    • @Jay Jay,
      Don’t waste your time on those i.d.iiotts, you are worth more than them.

      Luckily you have an Avatar, so the scammer can hu.ng.

  3. Only a dull man can join Zambian army. As for me my loyalty only lies In my beautiful white Swiss wife. I would kill for her and my kids. I love her and my mixed race kids. What would Zambia army ever do for you ? Can Zambia army give me the best sex like my Elisa?

    • You are a sick man!!! I agree with Jay Jay, the sooner you get lost the better for all. What makes you think people are interested in your sex life. Very, Very, sick indeed. Too late for any medical attention!!!

    • He is a sick individual. Do not entertain him . He has been talking about my sexuality all day. I wonder why he is so sex obsessed. He has even been trying to make me look bad for being a gay

  4. OF COURSE THEY PRAISE THE ARMY – THEY WANT THEM IN THEIR POCKETS — THEY WANT TO USE THEM DURING ELECTIONS…………………..

  5. Always good to have a disciplined military. We only hope the military institutions can also extend the same good discipline by paying their suppliers and contractors their outstanding dues for services rendered to their institutions.
    Good to see the president taking the lead in encouraging fitness .

  6. J J is not guy i can confirm kkkkkkk Zambians pau gay. Spaka ati Am so disappointed in you my friend. So yapwa friendship you gaboon vipers
