President Hakainde Hichilema has expressed delight that young women are taking up military training along with their male counterparts as a way of achieving gender equality.
Speaking in Kabwe when he commissioned 313 officer cadets for regular and specialists where 89 females cadets passed out, President Hichilema said that such numbers are an indication that the country is on track to meet the regional and international protocols of gender equality.
President Hichilema who is also Commander In Chief of the Defence forces directed the Army Commander to consider more females in the next army recruitment.
‘It is impressing to see an increased number of female cadet officers as this is one way of achieving gender equality,” he said.
The President also called on the newly commissioned officers to maintain their creed and help the country in the reconstruction of bridges in all the 10 provinces.
“In the time of instability, you know what to do as per your training but Zambian expect you to protect the nation’s sovereignty,” he said.
He urged them to remain dedicated to duty by putting the interest of the nation first.
And Zambia Army Commander Lieutenant General Dennis Alibuzwi said the Zambia Army has participated in peace keeping missions both regionally and internationally and has managed to produce skilled uniformed officers.
‘Despite several challenges the Army has been facing, they managed to produce highly skilled men and women in uniform,” he stated.
My sister joined the army in 1974 at the age of twenty.
Zambia needs to study the Chinese model of primary education………….
This western model we follow will never and shall never work…………
Chinese primary students are taught ethics and morals , labour studies and environmental awareness…………
This is when responsible garbage disposal , wanton destruction of forests , unchecked mining, vandalism of surroundings in the name thefts and laziness will be addressed……….
AND WHO IS DOING OR ABETTING THIS DISTUCTION
NOT THE CHINESE ???
HOPEFULLY SOME DISCIPLINE WILL PREVAIL IN THE END… AS AT THE MOMENT THE ARMY AND ZNS ARE AN UNRULY BUNCH
SINCE WHEN ARE ARMY MILITARY POLICE ALLOWED TO FORCE PEOPLE OFF THE ROAD WHICH IS VERY COMMON THESE DAYS
THE LAW STATES THAT ONLY WHEN A STATE OF EMERGENCY IS DECLARED THEIR RELLEVANCE COMES INTO BEING
Spaka @ 2, I take your posting with a pinch of salt because the Chinese are big polluters. China sends many students to universities in the West and there are many Western academics in some Chinese universities.
My sister joined the army in 1974 at the age of twenty. SO WHAT ??
Hh stop trying to show as if you understand anything about the military. We stand with Russia. Do not attempt your muzungu anikonde syndrome here and make mistakes of supporting your European funders.
WE STAND WITH RUSSIA KIKIKIKI
WHENYOU CANT EVEN STAND ON YOUR OWN TO FEET
Get a life rogue KZ, dehumanising Zambians, false imprisonment, battery and attempted of murder and harassment of Zambians will demand accountability from you, Police and court cases await your appearing to go to jail. You cant hide for ever – ask Mumbi Phiri or ABC.
GRZ what happened to Zambian Soccer it has happened to Zambian military and yourself too, people Surrounding you are Selfish.
If I was given an opportunity I’ll let cadets read the World Factbook and see their reaction to the president’s Speech.

There is no other people’s or country that can archive what the Chinese have archived in the last 80 years……
With the largest population, balancing none pollution with unprecedented economic growth, while asking sure nobody starves is a feat to be admired……
