The President of the Republic of Zambia, His Excellency Hakainde Hichilema met leaders of war veterans at state house yesterday.
Hichilema took to social media to update Zambians on what took place during the meeting.
“We were so profoundly honoured this afternoon at State House, to have hosted for lunch, veteran politicians and gallant freedom fighters Vernon Johnson Mwaanga, Wilted J. Phiri, Mathias Ngalande, Fines Liboma, Bautis Kapulu and Dante Sanders.Â
We were greatly inspired by their wisdom and how well versed and current they are, with matters of national and international affairs, and how passionate they are on the need to unite our country and harness our diversities from our different communities and cultures.Â
This didn’t come as a surprise to us because we are aware and agree that these great men come from a generation of men and women who set aside sectarian interests to unite our country into a truly one nation and one people.Â
We told the veterans of our continued efforts to rebuild and reconnect the economy, reunite our people, and of our eagerness to ensure that the rule of law was abided and respected by all.
We thanked them for having accepted our invitation to State House, inorder to afford us an opportunity to tap into their wealth of experience as government leaders, in the early stages of our nationhood. We are so proud of our veterans and may God bless them,” he said.
