Citizens First (CF) leader Harry Kalaba says Zambians have endured deep economic hardships and social strain, with late president Edgar Lungu’s remains still unburied as they celebrate Christmas.
In a Christmas message, Kalaba stated that the spirit of the Zambia people has not been broken despite going through deep hardships.
He stated that Christmas reminded all that even in the darkest of time, light was born, stressing that the season assured people that hope was on the way, renewal was possible, and restoration would surely come.
”Better days lie ahead, and Zambia shall once again rise to her greatness,” Kalaba stated. “As we celebrate this Christmas season, we do so after endured deep economic hardship, social strain, and moments that tested our resilience as a people. Families have struggled, opportunities have narrowed, and hope has often felt distant. Lost our Sixth Republican President, whose remains are yet to be interred. Yet through it all, the spirit of the Zambian people has not been broken.”
He urged for compassion during this festive season.
”The task of rebuilding our nation and restoring hope belongs to all of us—young and old, rural and urban, across all divides. Only together can we secure a stronger and more just Zambia,” stated Kalaba. “May this festive season renew our faith, strengthen our resolve, and inspire us to work for even harder towards united Republic anchored on dignity, shared sacrifice, and common purpose.”
