British High Commissioner urges Zambians to support President Hichilema

Share

In an address during this year’s Samu lya Moomba traditional ceremony, British High Commissioner to Zambia, Nicholas Woolley, called upon the people of Zambia to rally behind President Hakainde Hichilema and his administration in their endeavors to revitalize the nation’s economy, restore peace, and foster unity.

Mr. Woolley urged Zambians, particularly those in the political arena, to draw inspiration from the nation’s fight for independence and work towards the promotion of peace and unity within the country.

Mr. Woolley paid homage to the memory of those who had convened at this hallowed ground in their quest for democracy and freedoms, which, ironically, were denied to the very land by his forebears. He expressed his profound honor in representing the United Kingdom at such a pivotal event.

Highlighting the evolution of the relationship between the United Kingdom and Zambia, Mr. Woolley underscored the modern partnership founded on shared values, mutual respect, and cooperation. He emphasized that it is through events like Samu Lya Moomba that Zambians and British citizens can deepen their understanding of each other’s traditions and values, fostering a stronger bond between the two nations.

Mr. Woolley underscored President Hichilema’s unwavering determination to breathe new life into this emblematic location. He emphasized that this site stood as a living testament to the values of unity, fairness, transparency, accountability, and inclusivity that are essential for a thriving democratic system. These principles, he noted, are pivotal in ensuring equal representation, safeguarding human rights, fostering socio-economic development, and facilitating citizen participation in the decision-making processes.

Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Gary Nkombo, expressed regret that vital information about Samu Lya Moomba had been concealed by previous administrations, despite its profound significance in the political history of Zambia. This historical site, with its potential to symbolize the nation’s journey towards unity and progress, had been overlooked for far too long.

In a related development, Minister of Information and Media, who also serves as the Chief Government Spokesperson, Cornelius Mweetwa, commended the presence of 32 Chiefs from various regions of Zambia at the Samu lya Moomba ceremony. He hailed their attendance as a powerful symbol of national unity, acknowledging the crucial role Chiefs play in fostering harmony between the ruling government and opposition parties.

  4. Now you see how these people use their system and language to get into your brains and turn you into Zomb1es. These people are not messing about with you this time round, they will clear your resources at a faster rate than you can imagine. Zambians need to wake up to these good for nothing people. In Europe, they are busy tightening their borders from us Africans but at the same time they want us to welcome them with open arms in the name of investment(harvestment). Wake up people.

  5. Our relationship with Britain is nothing to be proud of. They continue to treat Africans like filthy little children. China has done more for Zambia in a few years compared to these imper1alists who have piled nothing but misery to our people for more than 400 years. Every African has the default right to walk into Europe and demand whatever they want from these people for their part in robing our continent of its natural resources.

  7. This does not surprise us who have been telling you all along that hh is a sell out. It all started during privatisation when this boy was bribed by the west to undervalue our mines and associates assets. He made millions from kickbacks. His masters are now happy to have their puppet in power. 2026 we need to get zambia back from these c00ns
