Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>I PERSONALLY want HH to rule up to 2031, says senior chief Mukuni\u2019s wife Veronica. Queen Veronica, who is traditionally referred to as the Mukalya, says whoever succeeds President Hakainde Hichilema should adopt his unity and peacebuilding acts.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on this year\u2019s Bene Mukuni Traditional Ceremony held at Simukale Shrine which was graced by the Head of State, the Mukalya said President Hichilema\u2019s humility is amazing.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe like me were incarcerated over flimsy charges which did not warrant cell detention. And I am amazed at the mud being thrown against him. I have not heard of anyone who has been detained at an unknown location and denied visitation from lawyers or family members as was the norm just last year,\u201d she said. \u201cI personally want him rule up to 2031 but that is the democratic right of all Zambians and his personal choice if he wants to defend his presidency in 2026. But with him in office for two terms it will be a game changer for the Zambians youth, the poor rural woman, and men who need a better life. His leadership has already shown a good beginning for our diverse cultural heritage as a country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Veronica noted that President Hichilema had not taken personal revenge against those that harassed him. \u201cHe is instead day-in and day-out preaching love, peace and unity. He wants a youth not to be a criminal like what we had last year with some youths adopting movie-like names such as commander. I want my children, my subjects and all Zambians never to be treated based on their tribe or whom they want to support politically,\u201d she said. \u201cSo my dream is to have a Zambia that is free of cadres in markets, bus stations and to do this I want whoever will succeed HH to adopt his unity and peacebuilding acts. We are one people living in diversity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Veronica thanked all traditional leaders who made it to the Bene Mukuni Traditional Ceremony last Saturday and the government for support. She added that the ceremony was very peaceful without any signs of caderism or party regalia.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone interacted as Zambians. Only the police were giving instructions so as to maintain peace and order. To this end I appeal to all Zambians to embrace a culture of unity and peace for the sake of posterity. Our grandchildren will not forgive us if we don\u2019t embrace peace and unity. Let\u2019s work hard, thinking of them every day,\u201d said Veronica.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are against this unity and peace, which is against tribalism, I will challenge you to show me a family which has only one or two tribes in their line up from mother, father, nieces, uncles, grandchildren, cousins and in-laws.\u201d<\/p>\n
