Chief Mukwikile mourns President Sata

Shiwang`andu, November 03, 2014, ZANIS… Chief Mukwikile of the Bemba people in Shiwang`andu district of Muchinga province has described the death of President Michael Sata as a big loss to the country.

The Bemba chief said this in a message of condolences to President Michael Sata`s family in which he has also urged the Nation to mourn in Peace.

Chief Mukwikile said  despite President Sata not completing his term of office Shiwang`andu district and the country at large has seen substantial development of roads being constructed and rehabilitated, good  education policies and health infrastructure.

The Traditional Leader said that President Sata was called for leadership which brought honor to the Lord and the Nation.

Chief Mukwikile said this over the weekend at St. Peter Sub-parish  Church in Mukwikile at the Inter-denomination prayers held in honour of the late President Sata.

And Vincent Mulenga Catechist at Mukwikile Sub-Parish said God called President Sata to lead the Nation so that the Country could be delivered from extreme poverty and that lives may be improved especially among the poorest in the country.

Mr. Mulenga said that the next President who will be elected should emulate the fearless leadership which was possessed by late President Michael Sata.

Meanwhile, Patriotic Front officials in Shiwang`andu have called on Government to consider mounting big screen televisions in areas that have no ZNBC TV signal and tap the signal from satellite to enable people watch the burial for the late President Sata.

Shiwang`andu Constituency Chairlady Maurine Bwembya said that the big screens will be of more advantage if mounted in districts where there is no ZNBC TV reception because in many provincial capitals they have ZNBC TV signals and they can watch the funeral in public place.

The Inter-denomination prayers were attended by Christians from all walks of life in Shiwang`andu and members of political parties.
