NEVERS PLEADS WITH UPND TO FORGIVE KALANDANYA MUSICIANS!

UPND must forgive Kalandanya singers, pleads MMD president Nevers Mumba.
Artistes have released a new single hit tagged ‘Chalo Morale’ produced under Kalandanya Music Promotion and featuring musicians some of whom sang campaign songs for the former president Edgar Lungu in which then opposition leader Hichilema was demonised.
The song features artistes Ricchy Bizzy , Nez Long, Chester, Kay Figo, Organised Family, Dandy Crazy, JK, Shenky, Wille, and Kayombo.
The song, that is filled with praises for President Hakainde Hichilema, talks about the need to give the President the morale to work extra hard.


Neither the UPND nor President Hichilema has reacted to the song that hit social media over the weekend.
But Mumba said UPND members must emulate President Hichilema who has forgiven former president Edgar Lungu for incarcerating him on a charge of treason while he was in opposition.


“It is gratifying to know that President Hichilema forgave former
President Edgar Lungu for the unfortunate imprisonment,” he said.
“Members of UPND must emulate this gesture and forgive the Kalandanya singers whose crime was only to sing songs of praise for the then
sitting President. If these singers will be vilified, then we would be planting a seed of vengeance for anyone singing for President Hichilema after he leaves office,” Mumba said.


Mumba said in his Facebook post that uniting the nation was a huge task that called for strong and brave hearts.
“…Hearts strong enough to forgive those that have injured us in the past. It’s a project many people cannot undertake to the end. The emotions


of yesterday’s pain will always stand in the way. We remain convinced that the desired development of our country cannot become a reality until national unity is realized,” he said.


Mumba noted the mixed emotions surrounding the trending story of the Kalandanya musicians who sang praise songs for Lungu but are now singing for President Hichilema.


“Some suspect that they are turncoats who ate off the PF plate and now want to eat from the UPND plate. Others believe that a musician is a business person who can sing any song he wants depending on the prevailing situation. Whichever side you are on, I think this is a perfect example of how difficult the call to unity is,” said Mumba.


“A word to UPND members who feel these musicians are singing for purposes of ‘eating’ with the new ruling party or that they are trying to hide their offences behind their support for UPND: King David dealt with this matter during his time when he had to educate the soldiers that went with him to battle and those who remained behind. His ‘followers’ said, those who didn’t go with them should not eat of the spoils. David declared that the victory that God had granted was not just for the few who fought but for every one in the kingdom. This is how you foster kingdom unity.”
