As the Chairman of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Organ on Politics, Defence, and Security Corporation, President Hichilema emphasized the importance of political leaders prioritizing the interests of the people of Lesotho above all else. He stated that the reforms agreed upon after the 2022 elections are critical for stabilizing the kingdom and enabling it to focus on social and economic development.

He stressed that SADC’s overarching objective is to establish the region as one of the most stable in the world.

During his visit to Lesotho yesterday, President Hichilema was accompanied by Dr. Jakaya Kikwete, the Chairman of the SADC Council of Elders and former President of the United Republic of Tanzania. The two leaders held productive meetings with the Prime Minister of Lesotho, Rt Hon. Samuel Matekane, and the President of the Lesotho Senate, Mr. Mamonaheng Mokitimi, among other stakeholders.

In addition, President Hichilema and Dr. Kikwete paid a courtesy call on His Majesty King Motlotlehi Letsie III at the Royal Palace in Maseru, where they engaged in a fruitful conversation on advancing peace and stability within the SADC region.

Upon returning to Zambia, President Hichilema expressed gratitude for the continued support and prayers of the citizens, emphasizing the government’s unwavering commitment to advocating for peace and security both domestically and across the region.

The President’s visit to Lesotho underscores the commitment of SADC member states to fostering peace, stability, and political reforms in the region, addressing the pressing needs of their neighboring nations.

    • In SADC the Zambian president is accused of being a hired gun by the west to remove the freedom fighter parties from power. These include SWAPO, ANC,ZANU PF and FRELIMO. HERE in Zimbabwe it is very much believed HH is strong supporter of CCC (The opposition party). Nevers Mumba was hired for the same purpose. In South Africa it also believed the Zambian President is strong supporter of the DA ( The white party) and that friend if his(Musi Maimane) who was turned away at KKIA. So there is division in SADC. Nevers Mumba report has strongly divided SADC.

    • SADC POLITICS OF LIES:
      In Zimbabwe HH(UPND) is supporting the Opposition CCC( Chamisa). In Zambia Munangagwa(ZANU PF) is supporting PF (Lungu). In Zimbabwe ZANU PF is funding a faction of the CCC to destabilise the opposition. In Zambia , UPND is funding a faction of the PF to destabilise the opposition. Its an interesting political chess game between Zambia and zimbabwe.

    • #SADC FOR REAL? Sadc stands for Sad Corner. Amapolitics ya ba sungu is not for us. In the most powerful nations an erring leader can be impeached and removed from office. You try it here, the police will be at your gate midnight, break it and drag you into detention without trial

    • HH is an enemy of Zambia. He is a sophisticated thief. A stooge of known western economic colonisers. He is a curse on Zambia.
      It is better VP takes over power or there be fresh elections.

  1. This man is a perfect definition of hypocrisy. He’s busy killing opposition parties at home but busy pretending outside Zambia that he cares about the co-existence with other political parties. The man has become a danger to our multiparty democracy. KK warned us but never took his timely advise seriously.

  2. Internal squabbles within opposition parties is what is killing opposition parties such as the PF. What do you expect the ruling party to do when a major opposition party fails to hold a convention to elect their leaders? Without elected leaders, the opposition party has ended up into two factions fighting each other. The role of police is to ensure there is law and order to avoid the fighting between the factions to descent into fatal violence. Does internal fighting within opposition political parties promote multiparty democracy? The danger to multiparty democracy in Zambia are these fights within opposition political parties. Benefiting from Multiparty democracy requires stable opposition parties and not parties that fail to hold elective conventions!!

  4. Kaizar Zulu belongs to the jail. He is too uncivilized t even mention his name. The Zambian police are so corrupt that they even fail to kidnap him from the border with Zimbabwe where he is now hiding. Kaizar Zulu like the likes of murderers Lusambo, Phiri and convicted criminals like Kambwili and very dull faced Sean Tembo. Whenever they are brought to court for their crimes, they cry like babies. They present to be sick or claim to be tortured. Then they lie in UTH in foetus houding making photos to mislead people.

  5. For your information the police have stopped looking for him aqs they have more important issues
    eventually he will make a mistake then they will pounce time is of no importance at this stage
    The compound kid on here is just confused as gets kicks at agitating others for his own satisfaction
    DONT BE FOOLED
