Zambia’s call for peace and unity is more crucial than ever as the nation approaches its general election.
Eunice Sebele, known as Mama Sebele, urged Zambians to honor their forefathers by preserving harmony. Speaking in Solwezi, she highlighted the importance of constructive dialogue among leaders and the need to uphold the motto “One Zambia One Nation” as the country prepares for the elections in August.
