My son is not allowed to get a salary from ZNS, other people need it – Hichilema
PRESIDENT Hakainde Hichilema has clarified that his son, lieutenant Habwela Hichilema who was recently commissioned as a Zambia National Service officer is not receiving any salary.
Speaking during a UPND engagement in Kitwe yesterday, President Hichilema explained that he deliberately sent his son to ZNS after he graduated with a degree from the United States, not for financial gain but for discipline and personal development
He revealed that Habwela’s enrolment at ZNS was meant to instill values of hard work, endurance and survival skills, not to take up opportunities meant for other Zambians.
The Head of State disclosed that he made a decision that all his children shall have to undergo military training not for a salary but for discipline.
“I made a decision that my children will go for training for discipline not for a salary. Let me be clear here, I sent my son there after he graduated in America with a degree. I said before you talk of doing family business, first go and learn discipline at national service.”
“If you don’t have discipline, you will destroy the business. Learning how to work hard. Habwela is not there for a salary. To tell the nation today, he gets no salary, he’s not allowed to get a salary because another Zambian child must get that salary. He went there to learn things, to learn survival tools,” explained the President.
President Hichilema encouraged young people to undergo military training in order to learn discipline and survival skills.

Are we allowed to take our children to national service as Zambians generally for the purpose of learning discipline. Kindly guide on the process because i want to also send my son purely to learn discipline and not to take up a salary from ZNS even though resources will be directed at him in the process of training.
Aba nabo!
Declare public your assets before you became President, and your Assets after 4 years into your Presidency.
What ever you say about you or your son not getting a Salary is just empty noise, as you have lamentably failed to publicly declare your assets.
Keep on dreaming with your hatred Idiots.National Service has been there during KK`s time.After training,young people were free to go and venture into other careers such as teaching and so forth.Those who wanted to continue were put on payroll.The president is right only keyboard pf Idiots here wants to make an issue where there is none,4seki.Pf is gone and not coming back anytime soon you bums. Losers who are not ashamed of themselves
HH declared his assets when filling for presidency. The record is there, you should go and check. Don’t be just a bitter asshole without anything good say, but let’s tell this, your people who stole from the treasury are not coming back. Girlfriends were given bags of dollars. Wives did not know where to hide their money but give relatives to keep for them. Imagine 400 000 US dollars?If it was HH `s wife you could have been talking about this issue the whole year.The daughters and the son having more that 100 cars and houses.Having hectors of Land meant to be national park?? Then today you think we are all fools like you people
