Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>The statement by the Acting Secretary General of the opposition Patriotic Front Mr. Nickson Chilangwa, purporting that the acting President of the PF Mr. Given Lubinda was ejected from the Ncwala traditional ceremony on presidential orders, is not only false, but also a total and malicious fabrication aimed at maligning the integrity of President Hakainde Hichilema.<\/p>\n

It must be noted, that all guests at the event were bound by the protocols of the event as had been determined and prescribed by the event\u2019s organizing team, and therefore everyone was expected to oblige, and that at no point was Mr. Lubinda, or indeed any member of the PF contingent, ordered to leave the ceremony.<\/p>\n

The inability of and by Mr. Lubinda and his team to observe and keep to the basic protocol expectations designed to maintain order and ensure the dignity of the Ncwala traditional ceremony, as well as the failure to recognize the hierarchy of invitation desired by the organizing committee, amounts to a total disregard of the authority of the Paramount Chief Mpezeni, at whose innovation President Hichilema was in attendance.<\/p>\n

It is further regrettable, that the PF leadership contingent would attempt to use the Ncwala traditional ceremony as a playground for political mind games and neglect to recognize the show of national unity and oneness inherent in the celebration of this rich cultural, and in many respects, a national event. The public is urged to disregard and dismiss Mr. Chilangwa\u2019s statement with the disdain it deserves.<\/p>\n
