President Hakainde Hichilema has arrived in Livingstone, Southern Province to grace the 17th session of the Association for Non-Aligned Teacher Unions of Southern Africa (ANTUSA) Games.
The Presidential Challenger Jet touched down at Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula International Airport at 10:35 hours, where the Head of State was met with a thunderous welcome from party members and the general public.
President Hichilema was received by some Cabinet Ministers among them, Minister of Education Douglas Syakalima, Minister of Tourism Rodney Sikumba, and Minister of Technology and Science Felix Mutati.
Also present were Southern Province Minister Credo Nanjuwa and other senior government and party officials.
The ANTUSA Games, which are being hosted by the Basic Teachers Union of Zambia (BETUZ), are running alongside a teachers’ marathon and an education expo.
