President Edgar Lungu has called on Zambians to take a leading role in the fight against non-communicable diseases.
Speaking during a sensitization fitness run on the dangers of non-communicable diseases, President Lungu urge Zambians to participate in health activities and frequently exercise.
The head of state also noted that many lives are being lost to obesity and drug abuse among others.
He has advised Zambian to ensure positive living by taking health walks within their communities and participate in sporting activities.
And Visiting Former Prime Minister of Israel Ethud Olmert has offered a partnership with Israelis in promoting good health and awareness.
Mr. Olmert was delighted to see the head of state take a leading role in promoting health in the country.
Meanwhile, Minister of Health Chitalu Chilufya said the ministry will launch a campaign to reduce on the number of lives being lost due to non-communicable diseases.
Dr. Chilufya adds that Non-Communicable Diseases have taken a heavy toll on the health system in the country.
How does a hungry man find the energy to exercise. This man has lost touch with reality. Whilst he has 5 meals a day and is stealing left right centre he thinks all zambians have that luxury. Our priority is not excersing when this country is headed for doom. Why not address citizens on serious issues affecting them. Please tell this man to sit down before he starts fainting again . He has forgotten he suffers from kunyu
Except married women……soft bellied husbands are intimidated by fitness instructors.
What happened to corruption charges levelled against Ehud Olmert?
These things he should have been doing, and not relying on sipping on Sikazwe’s concoction.
Usually thieves don’t like excising, I don’t see any of Edgar’s family friends like Kaizer & Sikazwe, not even Chi-Amos.
School pupils are being taught under trees and thatched classrooms and this lazy moron is talking about exercise whilst he is purchasing a custom made jet from Russia and aircraft from Israel worth a whooping $400m…the moron never exercised before he was in State House who is he cheating running on a tarmac in State House for 5 mins.
Ehud is a convict and was supposed to serve six years in prison,only released on parole, is he merchant of the VVIP plane?
Mr president make gym equipment cheaper, attach sports facilities to mining investments, make schools sports compulsory and create national schools sports competitions and you will see national health costs falling
XXXX Princess as usual trying very hard not to talk about her man…dont worry he will be coming back to UN next year!!
Please please please ECL get your ducks in a row….
People are hungry and staving in the country where do you think they will have energy to run…except running away from the police.
A student died weeks ago and one disabled due to police incompetence and this inept leader is running about with a fellow corrupt Chap…he thanks he has done his job after prayers!!
Even Jameson abuse should be discouraged. Someone should know better. Prayers for reconciliation while starving poor people to death. Someone should know better. Increasing one’s salary while the poor are suffering and dying of hunger. Someone should know better.
Yes running on an empty stomach can be disastrous. People are starving to death ati lets start jogging when you are belly full. Hypocrites.
What a disaster!!!!!
This !diot has lost touch with the people, people r out hassling from the morning coz they don’t know where their next meal will come from and u asking them to go and run, pompwe iwe where do u think the energy for that will come from, panyu iwe nawikuta u think everyone has he same privilege like u, for ur own information people r hungry iwe chi Jonathan
These morons they think everyone has had a salary increment backdated to 9 months like them to exercise…I mean how can one exercise on an empty stomach..its only Lazy Lungu and his ministers like Freedom who have so much energy enough to even start a fight in Parliament. He has not even cautioned him but when it comes to useless issues like prayers and this he is the first one in. …the Israelis are so happy with this moron are that overpriced aircraft procurement that they have personally sent their man to deliver the kick back to the stupid African at State House.
Olmert was convicted of fraud and breach of trust in March 2015 and later sentenced to eight months in jail. Birds of the same feather flock together.
Lazy Lungu is also a fraud ..birds of the same feathers…
Why can’t this visionless drunk ever say something useful such as how to salvage the economy? LT do you really have to report this crap? Next you will be reporting about Lungu taking a dump…”president” but legitimacy was not proven in court…nonsense!
I see very tense postures in the pics. Body language says a lot about the someone’s status quo – moving forward ahead of the group, jogging relaxed and with ease shows that someone is in control and not under constraint in their leadership role.
Why do you have to be vague when you are sitting on the fence….why not voice whatever you want to say not beat about the bush!!
When you have food on your table even jogging & gyming is an option. But that’s can’t be said about the majority Zambians Mr President. People are starving. You have not utttered any plan to grow the economy, let alone stimulate even a sector of it. You only building roads by Chinese contractors. Will Zambians eat roads?
Convicted embezler with convicted corrupt ex PM.
Birds of the same feather stick together?
Exercise? Those are rich people problems! We dont have the luxury to exercise.. and burn what when we eat once a day?
He has nothing to do..he is waiting gor next flight to Japan
Ba Jay Jay, at school you only learnt one word ” lazy”, you don’t offer any solutions in your many criticisms of Lungu. Lungu is not the Messiah he is just human like you and everybody else pron to err. You are a professional arm chair critic with no relevance to this world. Tell us your achievements in life. It’s not enough to criticize all the time without giving any possible solutions. They say empty tins sound louder.
I learnt a lot of words lazy is what best describes Edgar and i can back it up with facts ….you dont pay me a salary and house me for me to spew my achievements to you..I am not a Public official but guess what i contribute to lazy lungu’s salary.
Wake up from docility!!
We need development not going for jogging ba Lungu, we are not rich like you
Before Presidency the chap was drinking Chibuku in Chamwama till first light …he flies on Challenger and is handed kickbacks by Chinks he thinks he is now a dietitian and a Gym trainer ….really laughable…you want real exercise go to Arakan Barracks next door not exercising by the bar.
Zambians even keeping fit has now become a crime. This is what happens when people are so dependent on handouts, they even expect the government to give them toilet paper. Wake up and do something for your country, rather than waiting for your country to do something for you. Shameless and unpatriotic Zambians. Only a fool waits for government to give them food, when the Almighty God has blessed each one of us with two arms and two legs. What are you waiting for? You must be crazy. Wake up and be your employer. Shame!!
Mr President people are getting sick and dying due to poverty not lack of exercise. How does someone exercise on an empty stomach.
Some people don’t even have enough energy to think logically. Why should they waste energy exercising.
