The Traditional leader urged political players in the Southern Province to allow the Republican President carry out duties without any iota of dissonance and segregation.

Advised Senior Chief Chikanta: “The recent Southern Province Presidential visit to Livingstone, Monze and Mazabuka was a national duty and not an intra-political function. We urge all political players to keep maintain peace, as President Edgar Chagwa Lungu was on national duty and must be encouraged to visit all citizens regardless of geographical location”.

Senior Chief Chikanta is eager for a political environment allowing growth of a stable social economy tolerant of divergent views.

“As Chiefs, regardless of political affiliation and regional origin to conduct exchange visits to peer-Chiefdoms to learn from each other. Politicians must not only argue in Parliament but equally go on exchange visits to share ideas on how best they can serve their people,” a futuristic Chief Chikanta offered counsel.
