Vice president Dr WK mutale nalumango writes on her page

I shared this with humility and a sense of duty to truth during UCZ Silver Jubilee celebration in Chipata.

As we approach the 2026 general elections, let us reaffirm our commitment to unity. Tribalism and hate speech are wounds to the soul of our nation, they divide where we should build and hurt where we are called to heal.

I urge you, fellow worshippers, to lift up prayers for all of us in leadership, that we may govern with peace, wisdom, and humility. Equally, let us pray for our colleagues in the opposition.

In a truly democratic Zambia, politics must never be warfare, it must be rooted in the love for our nation, not in hostility toward one another. When we pray together, we invite God's grace to shape our hearts and guide our steps, even when we are tempted to falter.

The United Church of Zambia stands as a shining example of unity. Drawn from diverse regions and tribes, this church continues to thrive in harmony and love. May this spirit echo through our institutions, our homes, and our nation.

Because Zambia’s destiny depends on us choosing unity over division, compassion over contempt, and purpose over politics.

We are deeply honoured to welcome His excellency, Advocate Duma Gideon Boko, President of the Republic of Botswana, to the Republic of Zambia on the occasion of his State visit. His Excellency's visit underscores the warm and longstanding relations between our two sister nations, and we are particularly pleased that he will co-chair the inaugural session of the Zambia–Botswana Bi-national Commission and serve as Guest of Honour at the official opening of the Zambia Agriculture and Commercial Show.

Speaking during a Press briefing in Chingola today, Lieutenant Solochi said those who took part in the riots will be identified and face the full wrath of the law.

Lieutenant Solochi stated that the presence of ZNS officers at Sensele aims to provide security and maintain sanity.

Speaking earlier, Copperbelt Province Minister Elisha Matambo said the behavior from the Jerabos which resulted in the destruction of Public property is uncalled for.

Mr. Matambo has wondered why the Jerabos restored to rioting even after several meetings with their leaders and assurance that the matter will be resolved.

He added that government is in talks with the license holder at Sensele mine to amicably resolve the matter.

And Inspector General of Police Graphael Musamba disclosed that all those arrested during the riots will be prosecuted by the courts of law.
