VICE PRESIDENT NALUMANGO URGES ZAMBIANS TO CHOOSE LOVE AND COMPASSION IN PUBLIC LIFE.

LUSAKA — Vice President Dr. W.K. Mutale Nalumango has called on Zambians to let love guide their actions at home, in communities and in national affairs, saying the country needs more kindness and forgiveness over hostility and indifference.

In a message issued this morning, Dr. Nalumango reflected on Jesus' teaching on the greatest commandment.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. And love your neighbour as yourself,” she said, quoting Mark 12:28–31.

She described love as both a choice and a way of living, and said Christian faith requires believers to let it shape their thoughts, words, actions and decisions.

Referencing Galatians 5:22, Dr. Nalumango said love is a fruit of the Spirit that “should therefore be evident in how we treat our friends, our neighbours, our colleagues and even those with whom we may not always agree.”

The Vice President linked the message directly to Zambia’s current social climate.

“Our nation and our communities need more people who choose kindness and understanding over hostility, forgiveness over resentment, and compassion over indifference,” she said.

Dr. Nalumango posed the question to citizens: “Is love leading me?” and urged that the answer be visible “in our homes, our communities and wherever we find ourselves.”

“When we truly love God and love our neighbour as ourselves, we do more than fulfil a commandment, we become part of building a more caring, peaceful and compassionate Zambia,” she said.

She closed the statement with wishes for “a great Sunday and week ahead.”

MWAANGA URGES NATION TO MOVE PAST ELECTIONS, BACKS NEW DAWN ADMINISTRATION.

LUSAKA – Veteran statesman Vernon Johnson Mwaanga has congratulated President Hakainde Hichilema and Vice President Dr. W.K. Mutale-Nalumango on their resounding victory in the just-ended general elections, and urged Zambians to put “election fever” behind and focus on delivering national development.

Dr. Mwaanga made the remarks earlier today when he hosted Dr. Nalumango at his residence in Lusaka during a courtesy visit.

He wished the New Dawn administration well and said it was time for the country to unite behind government programmes aimed at improving the lives of citizens.

For her part, Dr. Nalumango described Mr. Mwaanga as a brother and friend, saying their relationship transcends politics and is rooted in their shared service during the formative years of the Movement for Multiparty Democracy.

“Our conversation brought back many memories of those days and the experiences we shared in Zambia’s political journey,” she said.

The Vice President hailed Mr. Mwaanga as “an asset to the nation” whose decades of service to Zambia remain invaluable.

“Mr. Mwaanga has been an asset to our nation. His contribution to Zambia’s public and political life is significant, and as a country, we will continue to appreciate and honour the role he has played in shaping our nation,” Dr. Nalumango said.

She further thanked the former minister and diplomat for his wisdom and dedication over the years.

“Brother Mwaanga, we appreciate you. We thank you for your service, your wisdom and the many years you have dedicated to Zambia. May God continue to bless you and grant you good health and many more years,” she added.

Dr. Mwaanga also thanked the Vice President for the visit.

Mr. Mwaanga, who has served in various capacities in government since independence, remains one of Zambia’s most respected elder statesmen.

VEEP NALUMANGO: SECOND TERM GOVT WILL PRIORITISE PEACE AND DEVELOPMENT.

LUSAKA, Sept 1, 2026 — Vice President Dr W.K. Mutale Nalumango says the New Dawn Government’s second term will focus on fostering peace and accelerating development across the country.

Dr Nalumango said this, this afternoon at Inter-Continental Hotel in Lusaka, hours after she and President Hakainde Hichilema were sworn in at Heroes Stadium for the 2026–2031 term.

Representing President Hichilema at the luncheon, the Vice President said peace remains the foundation for delivering on the renewed mandate given by Zambians.

“Government will continue fostering peace and development in the country because without peace there can be no meaningful progress,” Dr Nalumango said. “Today as we begin another chapter of service, we are deeply conscious that this mandate belongs to the Zambian people.”

She told guests that the administration will work to ensure development benefits reach every province, district, community and household, and that unity will be key as the country moves past the elections.

Dr Nalumango added that government will protect Zambia’s reputation for stability to attract investment, and urged citizens to support programs aimed at creating opportunities for young people and strengthening the economy.

The event at Inter-Continental Hotel was among the first official engagements of the new term following the inauguration ceremony held earlier at Heroes Stadium.

LUSAKA, Sept 1, 2026— President Hakainde Hichilema and Vice President Dr W.K. Mutale Nalumango were sworn in today at Heroes Stadium, officially beginning a second five-year term for the New Dawn Government.

Thousands of Zambians, diplomats, traditional leaders and regional dignitaries attended the inauguration ceremony held in Lusaka. The Chief Justice administered the Oath of Office to both leaders earlier today.

In her address after taking the oath, Vice President Nalumango thanked Zambians for the renewed mandate and said the 2026–2031 term belongs to the people.

“With a heart filled with humility and gratitude, I wish to sincerely thank the people of Zambia for the confidence, trust and renewed mandate you have entrusted to His Excellency President Hakainde Hichilema and myself,” Nalumango said.

“This mandate belongs to the Zambian people. It is a sacred responsibility that we accept with humility, commitment and determination.”

She called on the country to move past the elections and focus on development, citing youth opportunities, economic growth and improved livelihoods as priorities. Nalumango also pledged to serve all Zambians without discrimination.

“To every Zambian who participated in the electoral process, regardless of how you voted, I extend my profound appreciation. Your participation has demonstrated the strength of our democracy,” she said.

“As Vice President, I recommit myself to serving every Zambian. Zambia is our common home, and we must continue to build it together.”

The Vice President thanked supporters of the New Dawn Government for their “unwavering confidence” and told those who voted for the administration that government will “work tirelessly to justify your confidence and to ensure that the benefits of national development reach every province, district, community and household.”

She concluded by asking for God’s guidance as the administration begins its work.

“May God continue to bless our nation, protect our people and guide us as we serve,” Nalumango said.

The swearing-in marks the formal start of President Hichilema’s second term. Government is expected to outline its legislative and policy agenda for the new term in the coming days.
