National values wearing down in Zambia, laments President HH

Share

President Hakainde Hichilema is concerned with the wearing down of the national values such as hard work in the country.

Speaking when he joined congregants at Salvation Army Libala Temple in Worship today, President Hichilema said he wants Christian values to be deepened and protected among Zambians.

He, however, expressed happiness that the concept of hardworking in the Salvation Army is still alive and appealed to them to continue imparting the values in citizens.

President Hichilema said his administration wants to unite Zambians because it makes improving their living conditions becomes easy.

He pledged his administration’s commitment to Emulating the life of Enoch in the Bible as preached earlier.

President Hichilema said the message was loud and clear through preaching and music and will be constantly attending Salvation Army Church services.

He also accepted the invitation to be part of the Church’s 100 years Anniversary celebrations administration.

And Salvation Army Zambia Secretary of Programmes Kennedy Mizinga pledged the Church’s support of President Hichilema’s administration.

Major Mizinga said the Salvation Army will pray for the President and pledged continued partnership with government in areas of Health and Education as part of helping alleviate the suffering of citizens.

He said President Hichilema’s worship with the Salvation Army is historical becoming the second republican President to worship with them in the Church’s 100 years existence in Zambia.

Major Mizinga extended an invite to President Hichilema to be part of the Centenary celebrations to be graced by the Church’s General who oversees 100 countries.

President HICHILEMA’s entourage included UPND National Chairman Steven Katuka, Ministers of Tourism Rodney Sikumba, Agriculture Mutolo Phiri, Transport and Logistics Frank Tayali and newly elected Kabwata MP Andrew Tayengwa among others.

  4. Countries like UK that were severely affected by covid-19 have lifted the wearing face mask restrictions…in Zambia where they were not hit hard and hospital admissions were not high are still wearing these masks even without any data backing.

  7. The Western style of education adopted in zambia is not working………….

    And will never work…………

    It will create islands of a few rich elites , living the life while the rest wallow in poverty and self pity………

    Zambia needs to study and adopt the Chinese or Asian way of education and indoctrination to hard work………..

    Other wise , the dream of universal development shall remain but a fleeting illusion, to be desired but never attained…

  12. @ #6 Spaka, a good observation continuing with the indoctrination of western style “instruction” rather than delving into what aligns with the Zambian environment. The same goes for development economics where our economists are held captive to theories that developing countries are good for producing and supplying raw materials to western countries’ industries rather than industrializing! Thus our economists encourage job creation in countries that receive the raw materials while robbing the opportunities at local sources! Think about the copper Zambia produces, who really hugely benefits?

  13. @Spaka … you are right. Nations that stuck to their tradition have advanced while 100 year on we still aping the Western ways and making no way at all. I think they West knows it and have exploited it and will continue doing so.

  14. #s 12 and 13…….

    It will take a radical leader to admit that the western style of education is not working………..

    Something is fundamentally wrong……….

    All Asian and far Eastern countries are racing ahead with development while we are going round in circles trying to emulate western ways………

  15. For record in six months only:- Free education, No cadreism, CDF increased to K25 million+, employment of trained nurses and teachers, Payment of all retirees, Council workers get salaries now, No frauds or wastage of resources, No harassment of Zambians, Rule of law, National accountability, Transparency, Good governance, Most Zambians are happy —– Thieves (PF) not needed in Zambia

  16. National values die because political leadership,the President especially, is not leading by example. Since Chiluba national values have been going down the drain. Kaunda knew leadership and that national values are a broad concept and politicians have a big role to play in promoting them.
    They include a national education curriculum, national dress, promotion of traditional ceremonies, in short making a citizen proud of being Zambian unlike now when everyone from politicians to professionals to ng’wang’wazi boys, wants to be something else. National values should be promoted via actions.
    When the President wears African dress he is promoting national values but if he always wants to wear a tie and jacket like most of the UPND cabinet he is sending a message to the youth to idolize…

  17. When the President wears African or national dress he is promoting national values but if he always wants to wear a tie and jacket like most of the UPND cabinet he is sending a message to the youth to idolize Europe. HH’s present government is as brainwashed as Lungu’s. They are not mentally emancipated

  18. Of Course National values have dissappeared thanks to ?
    Work Ethics virtually none exsistant
    We are a lazy begging nation full of TICKS like the tr00ll
    spunging off others

  19. The UPND are not setting a good example. They are artificial copycats. Gary Nkombo even when he was at University he was a chongololo. What national values can a chongz espouse?

  20. @Kambwili Lusambo
    Unity is one such national value. If PF were appointing people from one region, UPND should not repeat the mistakes of PF. Unity requires that UPND is all-embracing. Alas, what UPND is doing now will also be replicated by another party coming after it.

  21. We keep doing the same things as a country but expect to see different results. You can appoint different people as long as the mindset is the same, you will get the same results. Try something different, you have seasoned Zambians in the diaspora ready to take Zambia to a different level. We need to hire experienced people from outside the country free from the corrupt mindset we have in the country to run some key sectors such as health, education and policing. We need people with a vision, a vision to transform and reverse the moral decay that has ravaged Zambia.
