President Hakainde Hichilema’s agenda of reuniting and rebuilding the country, has resulted into the new era of brotherliness, harmony and togetherness transcending past divisions.
The reciprocal invitation of Mwine Lubemba to the Kuomboka Ceremony, this year marks a historic moment of brotherliness, love and reconciliation.
Whereas, the coming together of the country’s two great leaders at the Kuomboka Ceremony yesterday reflects the Dawn of the new era in Zambia where Unity, respect will from now on prevail over division and discord.
As we celebrate yesterday’s historic moment, there is need for the country to seize this opportunity, and stand together as One Zambia One people.
Let us all as citizens,emulate the unity and love displayed by our leaders and commit ourselves to working together, towards a better future where all Zambians will live a better life.
It’s our prayer as United Party for National Development that this moment of joy and unity exhibited at the Ceremony remains a beacon of hope, for positive change in our motherland.
Like our President says, let us work together and build a Zambia,where diversity is celebrated, differences respected while unity reigns supreme
@ UPND MEDIA TEAM
The invitations between the two paramount chiefs to attend each other’s traditional ceremonies was not initiated by HH or the UPND. It was the initiative of the two royal highness and their BREs. UPND should not claim credit for something that did not come from them, Shame to HH and shame to his UPND for trying to divide Zambia and reap where they did not sow.
Hakainde has no shame at all.
Yes, the invitations were done between chiefs themselves but HH facilitated their success. Learn to give credit where it is due sometimes even when you hate them so much.
Forgive the man and his HaUPND. Fortunately, the Big Boys are repairing the damage Kaunda predicted would follow after Hichilema’s ascension to power.
If you have no village in Zambia then you can’t understand the traditions of various Zambian enthnic groups, like this Ruth Dante! There’s nothing that Hichilema is re-uniting because before he became president there was no dis- unit in the country. Actually it’s Hichilema who has divided the country on ethnic and tribal lines from time he took over as president in 2021. Before Hichilema became president Zambia was very united, the only problem, for example in government, were some Tongas and Lozis and North-Westerners who only recognized Hichilema as their “president” and not the then incumbent presidents, Rupiah Banda, Michael Sata or Edgar Lungu. So such people were working against the respective governments of the day! Some were going as far as passing on confidential information to the opposition. Those were the government officers that were being retired in government interest! Such people were going as far as saying “are we going to be ruled by Bembas and Easterners only”? That’s where the problem was and is still is , up to now! Tongas wanted to rule at all costs, supported by Westerners and North-Westerners! So the MMD and PF governments did not victimize any Southerner, Westerner or North-Westerner, but it was some individuals from those regions who didn’t want to work with the MMD and PF governments, because they wanted Hichilema to be their president!! But now the story in government is such that the Upnd government does not want to work with Bamba speaking people and Easterners, because “it’s time for Southerners, Westerners and North-Westerners to rule”! The Bembas speaking people and Easterners are ready to work with the Upnd government, but they are not wanted. And various tricks are being used to show that a certain PS is “Bemba speaking” by appointing one married to a Bemba speaker, e.g. Marjory Bwalya, when Bwalya is actually her husband’s name, herself is originates from the Zambezi districts. Mmembe one time made a list of all senior government presidential appointees, most of them , had their origins from the Zambezi districts, “because it’s now their time to rule ‘! So Ruth you are just waisting your time by trying to tell Zambians lies when they already know the truth: “Zambia is more divided now , under Upnd and Hichilema, than ever before . . “! Because it’s “now time for people of Zambezi districts to rule . . . “! That’s the biggest challenge we are facing as a country under the Upnd rule! This is a very dangerous phenomenon! If the other regions took over in future and also adopt that “it’s now time for Bemba speakers and Easterner to rule”, where will people from the Zambezi regions be? It’s very sad development, and late Kaunda already identified that in Hichilema and he said, “that young man from Southern province will can divide the country if given chance to rule . . . “! From his wisdom and intelligence, Kaunda fore saw that years before Hichilema took office of president of this country! Please change don’t think on tribal lines!
Unfortunately you did not speak for people of Western, Southern, Central south, Copperbelt rural and Northwrstern when Lungu mistreated them. May be its hightime we divided the country along those lines. Your hatred against HH stinks.
Unfortunately the fact that HH was NOT part of the deliberations and was requested to stay speaks to the contrary. It is my view that Barotseland issue and HH’s blunder will NOT go away. Lozis may NOT be loud BUT are NOT foolish
I agree with you totally. I think the unity is being promoted by our traditional leaders especially Chitimukulu, the Litunga and Kalonga Gawa Undi so far. We are waiting to see what roles Chiefs, like Mpezeni and Mukuni, who think with the stomachs will do. It looks like bigger things will come from our traditional leaders. Watch the space
Dante if you have nothing to write about umunwe pakanwa……, ask yourself why did the two BREs snub your man on both events? Yet he forced himself out of self pitty.
