The KUNDA Royal Establishment
wishes to express its deep disappointment and anguish at the regrettable displays of violent behaviour and insults by KNOWN UPND CARDRES at the just ended MALAILA traditional ceremony of the KUNDA people.
The ceremony which was held on 19th August, 2023 at Luŵaneni in Mnkhanya Chiefdom became a scene of unruly displays of violent behaviour and insults by KNOWN UPND CARDRES who were protesting the presence of the 6th Republican President, Dr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu at the ceremony.
As indicated in the statement by the House of Chiefs Chairperson, His Royal Highness Chief Chisunka “traditional leaders are non- partisan and traditional ceremonies are not political gatherings, but rather celebrations and preservation of our history and culture. It should be known by every Zambian that Culture is not just our identity, rather It also unites us and it’s a means through which we all come together to solve Malambo’s most pressing challenges and build sustainable communities.”
As the KUNDA Royal Establishment, we echo the sentiments of the Chairperson of the House of Chiefs. We are saddened at the blatant disrespect directed at His Royal Highness Senior Chief Nsefu, his Chiefs and Subjects.
It is evident that the people who were at the forefront of this mayhem are peoplewhodonotregardournational values as well as valuing the KUNDA culture nor its leaders and people.
We are of the view that anyone is free to attend a traditional ceremony, which usually attracts people from all walks of life and from across the globe as it creates opportunities to bring our communities together to experience the diverse cultures and foster unity, development and social change.
We are of the considered view that this mayhem was perpetrated by members of the United Party for National Development | UPND as we have video footage which clearly shows Mambwe District Commissioner, Mr. William Banda pushing and shoving Police Officers in uniform, creating a scene right in the presence of the Kunda Chiefs and the Chairperson of the House of Chiefs. It is sad to witness a son of KUNDA land being at the centre of trying to disgrace our rich KUNDA heritage.
The KUNDA Royal Establishment wishes to place it on record that on 1st August 2023, we wrote to the Provincial Administration to
transfer the DC, Mr. W. Banda from Mambwe District due to his hostile and repeated disrespectful behaviour toward traditional leaders in the District. His conduct is a hindrance to development and we cannot stand by and watch him contribute to the stagnation of our beautiful district.
We as the KUNDA Royal Establishment stand for peace and embrace other people across the political divide. We have always embraced and worked with the Government of the day and the Government of His Excellency Mr, Hakainde Hichilema is no exception.
Let’s foster an environment of mutual respect and peace and it is in this atmosphere that we will prosper as a district and nation at large.
Signed: Chief Jumbe
THE KUNDA ROYAL ESTABLISHMENT
