HH Leads Nation in Remembrance Day Commemoration

By Justine Akakulubelwa

President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA has led the nation in commemorating Remembrance Day, honouring fallen heroes who sacrificed their lives in the pursuit of peace during the World Wars.

President HICHILEMA, who is Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Force, laid a wreath at the National Cenotaph in Lusaka in tribute to the fallen heroes.

The commemoration also featured wreath-laying ceremonies by service chiefs, ex-servicemen and women, as well as members of the diplomatic corps.

Meanwhile, in a homily, Head of Chaplaincy at the Zambia Police Service, KONDWELANI SAKALA, urged serving police officers to uphold integrity and remain committed to their duties despite the challenges they may encounter.

Mr. SAKALA said public service should be measured by the lives transformed rather than the positions held.

He cautioned officers against temptations that could compromise their character and professional conduct.

Mr. SAKALA also urged serving men and women to honour the sacrifices of fallen heroes by demonstrating courage, wisdom and integrity in the execution of their duties.

He said the ultimate tribute to fallen heroes was to uphold the values for which they sacrificed their lives.
