PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu yesterday said he was very fine.
Greeting journalists shortly after he arrived at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport from Namibia, President Lungu, who was seemingly in a jovial mood, said, “I’m very, very fine.”
President Lungu recently underwent a medical procedure in South Africa and State House reported that specialists had managed his condition, which caused him to collapse during an International Women’s Day event at Heroes Stadium on March 8.
President Lungu on Friday travelled to Nambia to attend the inauguration of Hage Geingob as President and attended that country’s 25th independence anniversary. He was accompanied by former president Rupiah Banda.
“Namibia and Zambia have been friends from as far back as 1964. Read more about the history of liberation struggles in the region and you’ll find that we hosted quite a lot of those people for a long time,” President Lungu said.
“So now it’s time to build the friendship which was developed in those years to higher levels.”
He said there were several similarities between the two countries.
“We’re learning that I’m on course when I talk about One Zambia, One Nation. They (Namibians) are also doing the same,” said President Lungu.
“The outgoing and incoming (Namibian) President talk about the same thing that we’re talking about here: peace, stability and prosperity. On gender, they’re ahead of us; they’ve come up with stripes; white and black. For every man, there should be another white stripe for a woman in Swapo of course. That’s a learning curve for me.” — Zambia Post.
