Zambia a beacon of peace - Mozambique

MOZAMBICAN Ambassador to Zambia, Jeronimo Chivavi, has called on Zambians to cherish the peace they have enjoyed since independence.

Mr Chivavi said Zambia had been a peaceful country since its inception in the southern African region and beyond.

He said in an interview that it was prudent that the peace which Zambia had continued to enjoy was sustained even in the years to come.

The Ambassador said Zambians had been peaceful and loving which needed to be seen even in the generations to come.

“Since it became independent in 1964 and I remember very well, even if I was very young, I know that Zambia helped Mozambique when we were in challenges. Even my time as a diplomat for the past seven years, we have enjoyed very good relation.

“Zambia received a lot of refuges from Mozambique when we were fighting against colonialism. Zambian government made efforts to support Mozambique. And it is not only the Mozambicans who were here in Zambia but the likes of South Africans and many others,” he said.

Mr Chivavi said Zambia had been a shining star in the African continent, hence the citizens should continue with the same spirit.

“We really appreciate what Zambia has been in terms of being a peaceful country, this is good thing which needed to be in the Zambians forever,” Mr Chivavi said.
