HH graces the Bene Mukuni traditional ceremony
He writes…
We were delighted and honoured to be among the thousands of Zambians and foreign tourists who converged at the Simukale Cultural Heritage Site in Livingstone to witness the Bene Mukuni Traditional Ceremony.
In this regard therefore, we wish to pay special tribute to His Royal Highness Munokalya Muchelelwa Mukuni and Her Royal Highness Bedyango for hosting such a colourful ceremony, which showcased some of Zambia’s best, in terms of her cultural heritage
Our government, your government, will continue supporting Traditional Ceremonies all around our country, equitably and without bias because we regard diversity as a strength as we work for the greater good of all Zambians.
At the event we reiterated our long held view that unity is a key ingredient that drives our economic agenda, and that disunity distracts from important goals like economic development, and creating employment for our people.
Further, we informed the gathering that our government provided free education in order to support keeping girls in school for longer periods, as we work to curb abuses such as early marriage.
Finally, we encouraged fellow citizens to join us as Chief Marketing Officers by inviting foreign tourists, and visiting our many local tourist destinations themselves, to leverage our local economy.
Hakainde Hichilema
President of the Republic of Zambia.
