You are a motivation to many people, Fashion Sakala tells President Hichilema

Share

Coming from a celebrated hat-trick, Rangers Football Club striker, Fashion Sakala has said he admired President Hakainde Hichilema because he came from a humble background and rose to the lofty position of Head of State.

Sakala, who paid a courtesy call on President Hichilema in Glasgow, said his life mirrored that of President Hichilema as he also came from the village to play in one of the most competitive premier leagues in the world.

He said he admired the resilience of Mr. Hichilema as despite the numerous electoral losses over the years, he never gave up until he scored electoral victory and won.

Sakala also expressed gratitude to President Edgar Lungu and the previous government for the work they did but said President Hichilema has succeeded them to take the country to higher place.

Sakala also expressed gratitude for the national budget presented to Parliament by Minister of Finance, Dr. Situmbeko Musokotwane and urged the President to ensure that maximum economic benefits went to the young people that voted for him.

He said young people were hopeful that their welfare will improve under the leadership of President Hichilema.

Sakala also brought gifts of a scarf, jersey and balls from Rangers FC as memorabilia for President Hichilema’s visit to Scotland.

President Hichilema’s delegation is in Glasgow Scotland to attend the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP26.

It is the 26th United Nations Climate Change conference being held to promote climate action to halt further green house emissions and continued degradation of the environment.

  2. Fashion Sakala is very patriotic and deserves a pat on the back. Young man stay focused and the sky is the limit in addition ensure that you secure opportunities for other Zambians in the lower league for them to be exposed. It is exciting that you met Bally and your statement is very touching and inspiring to the youth in Zambia and beyond.

  4. Fashion, you don’t know what you are talking about. You know nothing about HH. Stay quiet and keep away from politics. Do you know why there is unemployment in this country. Your hh sold all the companies.

  5. Henry #4 HH must be God to you. It’s HH fault that there is high unemployment in Zambia based on his advice on privatization over 20 years ago?
    Use your head before you write such utter stup*dity.

  7. Well done Fashion, as Zambians we all have a lot of trust and confidence in HH, to an objective eye, there are already some things that are changing, councils can now get their revenues from bus stops and markets which was going to PF cadres, the exchange rate has moved from where it was under PF, the vibe from the mines is already encouraging, money is now going directly to constituencies, it may start with its own teething problems but it is a step in the right direction which will require fine tuning in subsequent budgets. So we are good to go
