Livingstone records four christmas births as mayor blames men for ‘low performance’

LIVINGSTONE has, for the first time in the district’s history, recorded the lowest number of babies born on Christmas Day.

Mayor Constance Muleabai disclosed that the city received four newborns, three girls and one boy.

“However, what gives us great encouragement is the good health of all the babies. They are strong, healthy and doing well. We would be failing in our duty if we did not commend our health personnel. We are pleased to note that, so far, none of the mothers have experienced complications, and we have not received any complaints,” she said.

Ms Muleabai appealed to Zambian men to get serious and have more children.

“We would like to make a special appeal to the men of this nation. Let us get serious. In a district and city like Livingstone, we cannot be recording only four babies on Christmas Day. We need to do better,” she said.
