President Edgar Lungu has said that it was wrong for anyone to politicise the National day of Prayer, fasting and Reconciliation. The President has since urged Zambians to do self introspection and pursue reconciliation ahead of the National day of Prayers.

President Lungu said it was sad that some people want to politicise a process aimed at uniting and reconciling the nation. President Lungu said that there was need for all Zambians regardless of their political affiliation to do some soul-searching and pursue forgiveness.

President Lungu said he has opened his heart to reconcile and forgive all those that have wronged him. He said it is important for all those who are offending and insulting others to humble themselves and ask for forgiveness.

The President said this at Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe when he addressed hundreds of people who welcomed him to the Copperbelt.

Meanwhile President Lungu said that he will continue embracing all Zambians including those insulting him because he is the father of the nation. President Lungu said that the fact that he cannot fight those attacking him does not mean he is weak, adding that it was s his job is to preach love, unity and take care of all as father of the nation.

And PF Copperbelt Chairman Steven Kainga appealed to the president as leader of the Party to support Coperbelt retain its status. Mr Kainga said the party needs the President’s support to strengthen the party. He said the Copperbelt is intact despite a few problems here and there.

Meanwhile Coperbelt minister Bowman Lusambo appealed to President Lungu to compel all Major contractors implementing projects on the Coperbelt to give 20 percent of their works to Local Contractors.

Mr Lusambo said most of the Contractors are not adhering to this policy and urged the President to intervene.

The president who is on a two-day working visit to the Cooper belt is accompanied by information minister Kampamba Mulenga, Mines minister Christopher Yaluma, Infrastructure minister Ronald Chitotela and Livestock minister Michael Katambo.

Others are health minister Chitalu Chilufya and Presidential affairs minister Freedom Sikazwe.

    • Hahahaha kekeke, your Edgar really wants to punch someone…
      That’s a girl he is showing off which punch will knock Kambwili.

    • Talking about politicising why is he waving the PF symbol at a young patient on a hospital bed? Wonder whether he thinks before talking.

    • This man is becoming unpredictable.
      1) The message sent to CK this morning was not about love and definitely did not sound like one that is coming from a father of the nation, instead full of intimidation
      2) he is visiting kids in hospital but raising his fist, isn’t that politicising what is obvious
      I don’t think this is building trust and natural authority by ECL.

    • We are told by the former INSIDER CK that this is the way the ‘humble man’ steals. Each time he calls for a day of NATIONAL PRAYER he is up to no good. THE MUPPET is going to make another big HAUL. We have had about three very big steals; THE LUSAKA/NDOLA dual carriage way ($3m per kilometer robbery), the $42 fire tender graft (which should have cost $350, 000) and the stolen 2016 election which, have been accompanied by about DAYS OF NATIONAL PRAYER, THIS is not a coincidence. LUNGU THINKS ZAMBIANS ARE DAFT.

    • LUNGU & HIS PF00LS CANNOT CONTINUE TRYING TO MOCK GOD. YOUR END WILL BE SHAMEFUL:

      – Yesterday they beat up C.Kambwili, today they say it’s time to close our eyes & pray.
      – Yesterday they arrested HH on fake charges, tortured him, shi.tted on his bed, today they say it’s time to close our eyes & pray.
      – Yesterday they stole $42-million from 2nd hand small Fire-trucks tender, today they say it’s time to close our eyes & pray.
      – Yesterday they rigged elections, today they say it’s time to close our eyes & pray.

    • This Lungu man is deluded. How can he even think he is the father of the nation? May be KK fits that title but sure not this Edgar

    • There is nothing christian about this gathering of PF mafias to blind fold people and make them believe that PF has christian values when it has sponsored violence and killings of the opposition. To make the matters worse, PF is stealing in broad day light and now want to the Mafia church leaders to endorse this criminality.

      Any UPND member who will attend this silly politically motivated gathering of the satanist is a fool and totally believes in violence like PF vampires.

      PF s idea of the national day of prayer is PF chief vampire ECL ‘s idea to use religion as opium for the oppressed Zambians. Its got nothing to do with true christianity. This strategy has been repeatedly used by the colonial masters to steal wealth and export it their countries while treating the local people…

So PF is also trying to use the same analogue. If you can not see happening under PF then your as daft and stup1d like the whole bunch of PF killers.

      Please UPND do not attend these silly gatherings because you would be mocking God and God ;s punishment will be upon you. What PF is doing is like you decide to kill…

    • Please UPND do not attend these silly gatherings because you would be mocking God and God ;s punishment will be upon you. What PF is doing is like you decide to kill people deliberately hoping that God will forgive your evil action. That mocking God and it has serious consequences.

      VIVA UPND.

  1. Let this day be led by the various Zambian Churches and all shall be good. Politicians talk too much. Especially PF UPND and that Dagga party kikikiki.

  2. Lungu , responding to kambwilis allegations of your corruption and stealing is more important to Zambians than national prayers…….zambians want to know the truth

  3. There goes the clueless one. Why would he need to hold his fist against a sick child? What does that symbol convey to a sick kid?Incompetent, weak and reckless. Change!>b/b>

  4. National day of prayer to Lucifer. God will turn his back to you on this day because of corruption,deception and vote rigging. Christians get out of this blasphemy and stay at home!

    • This fake, false and hypocritical “Day of Prayer” of Lungus has brought evil bad luck to Zambia.

      Mark 12:38-40
      38 In His teaching He (Jesus) was saying: “Beware of the scribes who like to walk around in long robes, and like respectful greetings in the market places,(Airport welcomings)
      39 and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets, (Swaziland)
      40 who devour widows’ houses,(Convicted embezzler stealing from a widow) and for appearance’s sake offer long prayers;(False hypocritical day of prayer) these will receive greater condemnation.”

      Is this not the same “lawyer” called Lungu that stole his widow clients money? and now “for appearance’s sake offer long prayers” ? God is punishing us for this evil man!

      His FAKE “day of prayer” is just to try and…

    • This drunkard from Chawama never went near a church until he thought it would hide his stealing! Now he wants a National day of prayer!
      Does he think Zambians are so stoopid?

      WHO IS POLITICIZING THIS NOW??????

  5. Politics aside, the message of forgiveness is elementary.

    There’s a time for everything, a time to strive and a time to put grudges aside and embrace each other in brotherly love. There is no greater responsibilty for a leader than to set a public example of reconciliation and his ability to forgive and re-unite with those he differed with.

  6. Tongas are Good people. u5 is one coercing them to divisive tribal politics

    one Zambia one nation

    one nation one leader

    that leader……finish your self

  7. God will not hear your “Pretend” prayers Jonathan.
    You have to seriously repent of your incompetence and corruption.

  8. James 5:16 (NIV)

    “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”

  9. You put people in jail on trumped up charges and afterwards you come back and say lets reconcile. Mr Lungu, you are a vengeful heartless being and please DON’T TEASE GOD. People are not f00ls, stop telling them things that you don’t believe in. Zambians despite being docile are very sober people and they have now known you, don’t take them for f00ls.

    • @Kaputo Davies: He says he has forgiven them whatever they wronged him.

      I can understand incompetence, and an evil heart but the sheer lack of any sense of responsibility is mind boggling.

  10. That photo speaks for itself…there is the Lazy idoit waving a political symbol at a young girl..he is the President 1 year in office and he is still campaigning. What did we deserve to have such a clueless bum to lead this nation.

  11. This Dictator,Sadist and hypocrite doesn’t know what reconciliation and forgiveness is all about. Lungu must apologize to HH and 5 others for jailing them for 127 days on Fake Treason Charges. He must apologize for stealing HH’s Election Victory, he must confess for stealing Taxpayers money and enriching himself and fellow Election Riggers,he must apologize for rampant Corruption by his illegitimate govt etc. Lungu must allow the Petition to be heard. Lungu cannot forgive or reconcile the Nation without acknowledging the wrongs that he has committed to HH,UPND and People of Zambia.

  12. Does he have any advisers sure mwebantu? If he has, who & where are they? Just look at the picture above imwe sure.! Napapa saaaaana. I am sure even the little girl is shocked.

  13. You expect people to fast and pray on 18th bwana lungu the economy is already forcing us to fast.
    Prayers won’t govern this country alone we need action, does it mean Zambia is corruption free cause ever since lungu came into power no one has been convicted later on suspected or investigated except kambwili and HH.

  14. Well, those who have been imprisoned, tortured, injured, killed, harassed, violeted by him and his system he has forgiven them. The victims have been forgiven by z “great leader” therefore the victims commit sin if they hold anything against z “humble great forgiving leader”. Say “Amen” brother!

  15. I have never seen any one blessing someone with a clenched fist. That child should be lucky that the blow from the presido did not land on her. I am sure she was dead scared!

  16. Christianity is not shown but hypocrits.If these are then organised and chaired by devil.His followers will be present.The devil rules and organises such functions.You will know them by their deeds.Threats today humbleness today what a combination.For those who donot know 666 will go and sing loudest and the devil will get their praise

  17. The one who suggests it should himself practice the so-called self-introspection. Kaunda is said by many to be the father of the nation. But the current leader does not have such description except his own about himself

  18. My dear friends,there is nothing wrong in the president’s call for unity.
    What is wrong is “unity in error”
    Remember they united when they mocked Noah as he built the ark.
    They were united at babel
    They were united when they crucified Christ.

    Be careful leaders,lest you lead many into error and deception.

    UNITY OF CHURCH AND STATE.
    this is the worst conjunction ever.For whenever the church unites with the state,blood flows,innocent people who are sincerely worshiping God in truth according to His word in turn suffer for it.
    Christ said” MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD” john 18:36.

    Obey the government in power and pray for them, the bible says. But if they tell is to do things that are not in harmony with the scriptures then we will not obey them.
