President Hakainde Hichilema has called upon all Zambians to embrace and appreciate each other’s diverse cultures and traditions, fostering unity in the nation. The President emphasized the importance of learning different languages and understanding each other’s values as a means to strengthen national cohesion.
With reference to this year’s Ukusefya Pang’wena Traditional Ceremony of the Bemba people in Mungwi District, Northern Province, President Hichilema expressed his admiration for the unity displayed by the Litunga of Western Province and Paramount Chief Chitimukulu, highlighting it as a positive example of the harmony that should prevail across the country.
Local Government and Rural Development Minister Gary Nkombo delivered President Hichilema’s address at the ceremony, where the President underlined his determination to enhance the quality of life for all Zambians. He stressed that this commitment was being manifested through significant improvements in various sectors of the economy, including education and healthcare.
Paramount Chief Chitimukulu, represented by Dr. Bwalya Chiteba, echoed the President’s call for national unity, irrespective of cultural differences. He expressed gratitude to President Hichilema for the upgrade of Kasama Airport to international standards, lauding this as a demonstration of the President’s dedication to fulfilling promises made to the Zambian people.
Furthermore, Chief Chitimukulu extended his appreciation to the Litunga for gracing this year’s Ukusefya Pang’wena traditional ceremony, a gesture seen as strengthening the bonds between different regions and cultures in Zambia.
In a show of solidarity, Ngambela Mukela Manyando, a representative of the Litunga, emphasized the importance of collaboration between the Bemba and Lozi communities in promoting national unity. Manyando also congratulated Paramount Chief Chitimukulu on marking his remarkable ten years on the throne, acknowledging his leadership’s contributions to the preservation of culture and unity in Zambia.
I knew he would jump on the bandwagon eventually.
Yeah but he has very good progressive comments. That is leadership.
Well if he hadnt commented on this I was going to be dissappointed. Lungu Mwanawasa Banda all never commented on Zambian unity. This is Africa. It has superficial countries so we need leaders like KK who reminded you every single day that you are One Zambia One Nation
The mistake you made was to learn Icibemba from GBM because he just taught you insele like namuchita ububi cikala and kutumpa uko. Further, you aren’t being effective by being stubborn. We have for a long time asked you to make changes at the Ministry of Mines, Health, Information and Broadcasting and at State House. Now it seems like it’s the same players in criminal activities at MoH, MMMD and State House. Now we’re speculating that you have a reason you’re shielding these people. You’ll go down with them if you don’t act now.
And your job as a Politician is to divide people and call them names and insult other tribes….isn’t it not what you’re good at….????
@ Deja Vu
You can imagine the “the divider in chief” opening his mouth and talking about inclusiveness…when he is the one sowing hate all over the country so that he can please his bazungu masters and his cadres attacked Lungu yesterday.. HH is a useless demagogue Politician and he must go to jail after office for plunder together with all his Ministers
He has a good point. We zambian have a short memory. Just few years ago some of us were not able to access certain places or services just because of our tribes and last names. All that has now changed. Mule tasha
I was born and bred on the copperbelt. Never did I fail to talk or play with children from other tribes. My closet friend was Songiso Mubita. His parents treated me like their own child. Since when has Zambian been refused to enter a place because of their tribe?
Between 2011 and 2021. Go and see evidence of how hh was refused entry into Eastern province prior to his election victory. Just because you had a positive experience as a child doesn’t mean everyone’s experience was the same. You are very trivial in your thinking
Tarino you must be very dull. Your people promoted tribalism because of one man. The original political leaders didn’t look at one’s tribe. How do you explain the voting pattern in Southern Province?
People voted for change. Are people from southern province not entitled to vote for change just because the leader of the party that is propagating for change happens to be of a similar tribe to theirs? Dejavu you remind me of those whltes who say, I cannot be racist because I have a black friend who I last saw in 1994
Oh now I know who deja vu is
#Tarino the emergency of HH on our political landscape brought what you are labouring to explain. Sejani, Munkombwe and to some extent VJ clearly stated it…a Tonga must rule, it’s our time to rule… what does that mean.
What sejani says is his view and opinion as a private citizen. Did any of those words come from an official party communique?
Deja Vu you are explaining so well and I agree with you if all Zambians were like our relatives in southern province, HH wouldn’t have seen state house, but thanks be to God that other tribes are more civilised that they can vote for any other Zambian unlike the southerners who bound by their tribe.
VJ???
“Did any of those words come from an official party communique?”
If the party didnt want to identify with that sentiment it should have expelled the tribalists. And at least issued a statement distancing the party from these tribal mongerers. But the UPND was mute on the issue and seemed to be agreeing with the tribalists
Nshilimubemba who is a bemba. Your comments are very predictable. I don’t expect you to see anything positive in hh or any tonga person for that matter. Continue wallowing in your tribalism and dreams of regaining power which will never happen.
#Tarino illogical…. what a leader says cannot be a personal opinion. No need to go on.
You have nothing to say because you know I am right
Deja Vu you are intelligent and mature and more civilised than Tarino Orange , Tarino Orange doesn’t fit your class as he is far behind your capacity of thinking .
Any way we that kind of people amongst us what can we say!
Is this the real Tarino Orange?
Yet another pf clown asking f00lisnh questions. No it is not tarino, it is your father?
Tarino aka Jay Jay doesnt blog like this. I know his language. This one is what he told us was an impostor
