He further appealed to members of the general public to continue adhering to five golden rules in the quest to combat the spread of the pandemic.

“Meanwhile, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell asked people, regardless of whether they had faith, to reflect on the “enormity” of the pandemic and join in a “prayer for the nation” at 18:00 GMT every day from 1 February”
If the people keeping you abroad are also praying and relying on God, then who are you diasporans to criticize our calls for national prayers.

Hello everyone, am here to testify about the greatest spiritual healer that helped me believe in life again after my husband had left me for another woman.Life has been so difficult for me these past few months and I had given up on myself knowing that I will not find love or true happiness again. Two months ago I found out I was pregnant and I was so happy and excited to have my own baby and I didn’t even call my boyfriend. I just wanted to take the results to him and show him face to face and share the good news together. But when I reached his flat I saw his car parked outside and knew he was home so I went straight to his room. When I knocked, he allowed me to enter because he wasn’t expecting me at the time, but when i opened the door I nearly fainted because I caught him ready handed with another woman in his house. I looked at them and closed the door and ran away, he followed me saying his sorry and the woman is just a friend and nothing else but I knew he was lying and I walked away. I reached home and cried a lot until i told my best friend everything and she told me to fight for my man and not loose him to another woman. She gave me Baba Isma’s contact +27783320386 and told me Baaba will bring back my boyfriend to me and love only me. So i contacted Baaba and told him everything, he made a love and binding prayers for me and in 2 days of the prayers my boyfriend came to me with that woman I saw him with and knelt down and begged for my forgiveness and told the woman that am the love of his life and he doesn’t ever want to see her again. The woman walked away and that evening my man came back with a baked cake and gifts and flowers and asked for my forgiveness again and promised never to hurt me again and I told him that we are having a baby, he cried and smiled with joy and happiness. We are back together and so much in love and waiting for our baby to arrive. Thanks so much your prayers indeed work. You can call or whatsapp Baaba Isma +27783320386 incase you are passing through the same situation. Don’t be discouraged by what people may tell you

It looks like 10% of Zambians are SARS-Cov 2 positive. This means translates to 1,700,000. The question is what is the reproduction rate of the virus in Zambia? Perhaps the great outdoor nature of our lives and the younger age group are working in our favour. BUT, this may not be the case with the new variants. Please, let us not go into a second phase of leaving orphans behind. This disease is killing parents and leaving children orphaned. Thankfully, it is not an S T I .
