President Michael Sata this morning led dignitaries, senior government officials and service chiefs in laying wreaths at the Freedom Statue in honor of the country men and women who died during the struggle for the country’s independence. The 48th Independence Day is celebrated under the theme “celebrating 48 years of independence with vision, hard work and unity”.

In attendance were Vice president Guy Scot and his wife Charlotte, acting Chief Justice Lombe Chibesakunda and deputy speaker of the National Assembly Mkondo Lungu among others.

And in delivering a sermon, Director of Chaplin at the Zambia Air Force Eugene Nyambe noted that there is no worse evil against national unity than citizens dividing themselves on political, tribal, regional and social economic grounds.

Fr. Eugene stated that the nation would be headed for doom if citizens start engaging themselves in acts against what the freedom fighters fought for.
