The narration excited tourists and youths that listened attentively to the songs, cultural dance and drums played by the Royal group composing of teenagers, youths and elderly women.<\/p>\n

Chinese Ambassador to Zambia Du Xiaohul said the friendship between Zambia and China is based on mutual understanding, love and respect for each other.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the Bene Mukuni Traditional Ceremony, held at Mukuni Village in Kazungula said, that the world during the past week paid so much attention to the debt restructuring deal which Zambia had achieved.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe provided maximum support to Zambia during the debt restructuring process and I want to say that China never pressed for any payment nor attached politics to the debt issue,\u201d said, Ambassador.<\/p>\n

He commended Chief Mukuni for his commitment to continue upholding Zambia\u2019s culture through traditional ceremonies.<\/p>\n

Adding that, he was happy that the traditional ceremony and the history of Chief Munokalya Mukuni, attracted tourists who learnt a lot about how the chiefdom arrived at its last destination which is Mukuni village situated 3kms away from the Mighty Victoria Falls.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the same occasion Chief Mukuni who spoke through the Chairman of the ceremony appealed to government to formulate a policy that would help deal with succession wrangles that have hit most of the chiefdoms in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nation is fatigued with succession disputes and the mode used to deal with such issues is denying the local and families involved to resolve issues.<\/p>\n

Chief Mukuni appealed to the Chinese government to empower Zambia with technology so that it matches development taking place in the changing world.<\/p>\n

The ceremony is held annually to renew and cement, traditions, cultural and ancestral bond that exist between the Royal houses of Mukuni Royal dynasty and all ethose stablished during the pre-colonial Africa era.<\/p>\n
