President Edgar Lungu says late President Levy Patrick Mwanawasa is a true beacon of how a leader ought to be.
President Lungu says Zambians have the onus to keep late President Mwanawasa’s legacy alive.
He states that the late Head of State’s conviction that building a just society is possible should live on.

She has also urged people in the Country to use the 10th anniversary of her husband’s death to re-ignite their resolve to remain a Christian nation.
