UPND Leader Hakainde Hichilema has urged Zambians not to stop talking and educating each other about COVID 19, even amidst criticism by those whose task is to disparage and denounce every worthwhile effort to halt the advancement of the pandemic.
Mr Hichilema has noted with regret that some people are criticizing and disparaging worthwhile effort to halt the advancement of the pandemic.
He said whether by various vehicles of social media or by performing arts, news must be spread about COVID-19.
Mr Hichilema has urged Zambians to play catch up with the cold hard facts of COVID 19, because lessons from other nations that were once where Zambia is, are visible and available for free use.
He said the COVID-19 pandemic has formed a social fabric of humanity and has become a glue which holds society together, one which has helped shape socially cohesive communities despite the disease’s devastating consequences.
Mr Hichilema said the COVID 19 has offered humanity a ‘highly accelerated life test’ in which to fact check resilience and resolve as brothers and sisters’ keepers.
Well spoken HH. Zambians need each other now more than ever. Life has a way of bringing people together. Just weeks ago, people were suspecting each other and attacking their own by mob justice and today, everyone faces a common, invisible enemy.
This crisis will seperate the real leaders from those that are only interested in their personal wealth and prosperity. Ye shall know them by their works. Not just their words.
Sick man. Instead of thanking and acknowledging the effort of the government he is busy talking nonsense. Today we have recorder 0 cases. Do you still want us to learn from your master in America and Europe. Should we follow their example on how to cause thousands of death? Be proud as a zambian that we are actually a case study of how to effectively deal with this virus to avoid loss of life. And yet here we have people used to following anything western world do even when you getting it right. Have some self confidence.
HH is right . We need to share as much infor as possible and more importantly how we will redress our economy post the Virus.
My suggestion is that we cancel or postpone 2021 elections. This will help us to stop politiking and fucus on fighting the virus. Secondly , that money meant for the elections including printing of ballot papers will go a long way in re-aligning the economy post the virus.
He didn’t say when he was on HOT FM.As usual he was talking about lockdown .LT reports facts.
Kindly donate bo HH we need action leaders not lip service, do you love Zambians as you claim sir, lead by example. we have enough advice now we need money not advice sir. give us money for covid19. we dnt need your advice.
On March 13, 2020, Malupenga held a meeting for media houses at which it was requested that media houses give free airtime to the broadcasting of adverts informing the public about the coranavirus pandemic also known as COVID 19 outbreak.
Prime TV could not afford to broadcast free advertisements due to economic challenges, Malupenga said that media houses that did not cooperate with the ministry of information and broadcasting services could be isolated like the Post Newspaper.Now see the difference between South Africa government and Zambian government,“SARS remains critical for our country’s current and future economic and social development. In terms of the regulations governing the lock down, SARS has been declared an essential service, which is vital to ensure” that the short-term…
The President has spoken, Zambians agree with his encouraging words (Yakukoselesha ichalo).
,“SARS remains critical for our country’s current and future economic and social development. In terms of the regulations governing the lock down, SARS has been declared an essential service, which is vital to ensure” that the short-term and long-term economic effects of the COVID pandemic are mitigated as far as possible,” Commissioner Kieswetter further stated.
Taking into account the devastating economic impact of this pandemic, the President also announced a number of measures to help tax compliant companies in distress and their affected employees, especially Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises which SARS will have to administer over the short term SARS is giving back billions of Rands to South African companies during this period of covid 19 but our own Zambian government is…
our own Zambian government is begging by force for free airtime for adverts shame on you PF we told you stealing doesn’t pay but you said ubomba mwibala ilya mwibala leave Prime TV alone.
Zambia is block PF has got no money to run the country they have eaten everything now it’s by force government is supposed to pay for adverts to support the media houses because those media houses pay tax to government.
PLEASE CANCEL 2021 elections
@kZ…as usual, spewing hot air. Get a life mumbwe iwee.
@ SICHALE be proud of your country not South Africa this or that learn to be Zambian. you UPND Cadres.
Which people are criticizing those talking and educating each other? The last time I checked it you cadre Prive TV that was not cooperating. The best Hachilema should do is donate some of the privatization money to Ministry of Health.
PF has thrown in the towel.
“If you throw in the towel, you stop trying to do something because you realize that you cannot succeed. [informal] It seemed as if the police had thrown in the towel and were abandoning the investigation.”
It seemed as if the IMF and international think tanks had thrown in the towel and were abandoning the PF administration.”
We need a leader with no baggage’s to send signal to the international community that we will have open books and we need them and we pay them back.
Let us love one another in times like this. Pf is in power for service.. we are all Christian and Jesus loves kaizer zulu , lungu, Susan , HH and kambwili.
I will be proud the day when Zambians are no more suffering and hungry.
Not a few getting full.
@Daniel chisebwe and Sichalwe, has the government started releasing people from Chainama Mental Hospital to create space for corona virus patients. What you have posted sounds out of this world. At first I thought Aliens have started reading LT.
Nigerian government is giving food to it’s citizens after a lock down lets see if PF government can do that no wonder you are scared of a lock down we need real leaders in Zambia.
A person who is philanthropic and has good intentions does not announce that he is going to donate. Many people donate anonymously and let their good deeds talk for themselves. However our friend hh wants you to know that he is going to donate. All because people have been criticising him for not doing so. It is not a genuine donation. Very sad for someone who claims to be rich and wants to rule this country. What will stop him from stealing if he ever becomes president? Very greedy man
He has to announce so that people like you stop the hate and claiming he has not donated. He owns shares with big firms and by virtue of that he has already donated and still is through Tax and Vat. Any of the firms he owns shares with dinates it means he has donated too! thats how rich people operate…very smart with high IQ! ma levels.
It’s still a donation . Nothing wrong in announcing . Infact announcing encourage others to do the same
Thankyou for your generous offer Mr President Elect.
