President Hakainde Hichilema yesterday led service chiefs, diplomats, war veterans, and government officials in commemorating Remembrance Day. Zambians were urged to uphold integrity, discipline, patriotism, and responsibility while reflecting on the legacy they wish to leave behind. The President arrived at the national cenotaph at about 10:50 hours.
During the service, Zambia Police Service head of chaplaincy Kondwelani Sakala reflected on the sacrifices of fallen soldiers and urged leaders and citizens to consider if their conduct would make those who died proud. Bishop Sakala stated that society must preserve fundamental values like integrity and discipline despite technological advancements and emerging security threats.
Bishop Sakala emphasised that service is not about positions or privileges but about accepting responsibility for the lives and welfare of others. He added that soldiers, police officers, public servants, teachers, parents, and national leaders all have a responsibility to make a positive difference.
