We wish to sincerely thank the Catholic Church in Ndola in particular and all Catholics in general for embracing all citizens in praising the Lord, God almighty. This we professed when we joined fellow Christians at St Joseph Cupertino Catholic Church of Ndola today.
We are also greatly indebted to the Parish Priest of St Joseph of Cupertino Catholic Church in Ndola, Fr. Andrew Chewe Mukosa for according us an opportunity to join our brothers and sisters in thanking God for the gift of life. We are so greatly honoured and profoundly appreciative by this gesture.
The Body of Christ is one and as God’s creation, we must always strive to work together including preaching the word of God to the outermost parts of the earth. That’s a fundamental principle of Christianity that we were all commanded to carry out by our Lord.
It is however unfortunate and regrettable that the Police who we are very much aware are being abused by those that have no value for human rights, freedoms and other liberties, attempted to stop us from attending mass and even throw us out of Church on grounds that we did not have a permit to attend a church service.
This is not only fundamentally wrong but it does not also please the Lord, God almighty and must be stopped immediately. We are however thankful to the Church leaders at St Joseph Cupertino for accepting that our rights were being infringed upon by the Police who themselves are abused.
When our time to be in government comes, which is soon, we will not be inconveniencing the church and citizens by such draconian rules that are not only against the rules of natural justice and other civil liberties but against the supreme laws of God Almighty.
We must unite as a people and remember that there is a God above in heaven watching over every human activity, and like Father Mukosa said, let’s not feel shy to talk about bad things happening in our country, because failing to do so would be allowing bad governance, thuggery and corruption to thrive without challenge.
For us, Zambia shall remain a Christian Nation not only in word but in deed too.
May God bless our country!.

UPND PRESIDENT.
Very shameful indeed.
These are the same catholic priests he is victimising and insulting. He must have the memory of a gold fish, no wonder he has forgotten his promises.
Vote wisely in 2026.
This man is a snake. These are acts of intimidation. Yesterday he was bitting today he’s pretending to wanting to dine with him. Careful Fr Chewe this HH is one of the few remaining remnants of Yudah escaliot.
Uhmmmmm, this man survives on deception, really?! He is a serious Judas &can change colours like a chameleon
There is something strikingly and evidently true here, the police force are a cadre for the one who buys them boots and uniforms only, they have no regards for whatever you call freedom of expression and speech. The more their actions go un checked the more they perform to please their big buyer, since they pay themselves.
This is why HH (Haleya Hanaka) is Judas, the Catholic faith stood up for him and defended him each time or day he was attacked by the police or PF cadres. This man is a snake . We will deal with him as Catholics. Touch one you touch us all. We will finish him as other past presidents more powerful and mass followers regretted starting prosecuting Priests or Bishops.
They are on record
1: called archbishop Banda of Lusaka archdiocese Lucifer
2: archbishop Mpundu senile and cementing
3: threats have been made against the priest who questioned about the economic graphs not benefiting the common man
4: Now this priest summoning for what is load shedding not happening or people living in absolute poverty?
If we don’t fight them with might social teachings and campaign against their evil deeds, we will lose our hard earned democracy and freedom of expression.
Archbishop Mpundu was the most darling to them in opposition when he risked his life for speak up against the oppression of HH.
HH has lost respect , his government is in disarray like made dogs suffering from rabies.
To Catholic faith, fear is death. If HH and IG want blood let them touch the Catholic faith,
