| President Rupiah Banda |
On the eve of Heroes Day and Unity Day, His Excellency President Rupiah Banda has spoken out to honour all the people who have worked tirelessly to build a country in which millions of Zambians can be proud.
Celebrated each year as a national holiday, the days mark both the successes and challenges Zambia has faced in its years since independence, in becoming a place that prizes the values of freedom, security and stability for all people.
Speaking from State House, he said: “Zambia is a role model for the world – evidence that a country, on securing its own independence, can rewrite its future. Today, our young people, who make up 68% of our population, can look to futures which are full of possibility: the opportunity to work and earn a living, to benefit from good education and healthcare, and to enjoy a peaceful society. We have our ancestors – our Heroes – to thank for that.”
President Banda added: “Our past achievements in building a united nation founded on co-operation and mutual support will always be at the heart of what makes Zambia great. We must never forget the people – young and old, past or present – who have played a part in making us what we are today.”
