Chitimukulu Condemns Abusive Language on Social Media

His Royal Highness Paramount Chief Chitimukulu Kanyanta Manga II, Mwine Lubemba, has expressed concern over abusive language directed at him by some young people from his kingdom on social media.

The Chitimukulu says some young people have resorted to insulting him because he has chosen not to involve himself in political fights.

He says, as an elderly person, he deserves respect and handles national matters through diplomacy rather than engaging in the manner some people expect him to.

The Paramount Chief says he believes in diplomacy and has urged members of the public to surrender every challenge to Christ instead of responding through confrontation and insults.

He has also thanked the Zambia Army and Government for increasing the Constituency Development Fund, which he says is contributing to development in communities.

The Chitimukulu was speaking in Kasama during the handover and commissioning ceremony of the Ukusefya Pang’wena Crocodile Statue.

The statue was constructed using Constituency Development Fund resources in partnership with the Zambia Army Northern Division.
