A renowned freedom fighter in North-Western Province has called on Zambians to uphold peace and unity and preserve it to honour the country’s forefathers.
Eunice Sebele popularly known as Mama Sebele has expressed concern over the lack of harmony among Zambians stating that if not addressed it will negatively affect the country.
Speaking when she featured on the Eye program in Solwezi district, Mama Sebele explained that as the country heads to the general election in August, there is need for aspiring leaders to introspect and engage in constructive criticism.
“As leaders you can have different opinions but that does not mean you should fight each other or not share ideas that will help to develop the country,” she said.
Mama Sebele has called on leaders in the country to draw lessons from the leadership of first republican President Dr Kenneth Kaunda and the freedom fighters who jealously protected the peace and unity of the nation.
She has stressed the need for Zambians to uphold the “One Zambia One Nation” motto and ensure that it is understood and upheld by all.
“We coined this motto because we loved and embraced each other and this is what to pass on to generations to come,” emphasised Mama Sebele.
She said as Zambia commemorates African Freedom Day, it is a time for Zambians and Africa at large to uphold harmony.
This year’s African Freedom Day will be held under the theme “Assuring sustainable water availability and safe sanitation systems to achieve goals for agenda 2063”
A good call indeed but Where does the freedom fighter bit come from
Is it honorary like those given to politicians ???
