He also wants Chewas to live well with other tribes. He doesn\u2019t want us to remain as an island,\u201d Mr Phiri said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Katete District Commissioner (DC) Raphael Phiri has urged young people to take a keen interest in Zambia\u2019s rich historic heritage as a way of preserving the country\u2019s culture for future generations.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Phiri, who is also a member of the organising committee for the Kulamba ceremony, disclosed that a small museum has been set up to showcase Chewa artifacts and history during this year\u2019s ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised that traditional ceremonies allow people both locally and abroad to appreciate cultural diversity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis ceremony also demonstrates to the people of this region, of the three countries that the boundaries among them are just artificial, as we are one people. We speak one language, same culture in the three countries. So, we are one people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Phiri also noted the seamless trade among the three countries, highlighting the close interactions and unity among the people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn terms of trade, you will be amazed to realise the trade among the three countries has no boundaries, as we trade as one people, and the daily interactions demonstrate our unity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Kulamba ceremony, involving Chewa Chiefs from Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia, serves as a platform for presenting various issues affecting their chiefdoms to Paramount Chief Gawa Undi after a year of interactions.<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 140 Chewa Chiefs from Malawi, about 42 from Mozambique, and 41 from Zambia are expected to attend the event, as well as chiefs from other parts of the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Zambia Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
