Gays, lesbians not welcome in Zambia- President Hichilema

President Hakainde Hichilema says gay and lesbian practices cannot be condoned in the country because Zambia is a Christian nation.

The President says Zambia can only realign sound democratic values with other countries.

President Hichilema has dismissed as baseless claims that he has not come out strongly against western countries perpetuating gay, lesbians, bisexual and transgender rights.

He was speaking in an interview with ZNBC News in Lusaka today before departure for Monze on a working visit.

President Hichilema was accompanied by Fourth President Rupiah Banda.

Meanwhile, President Hichilema has told ZNBC News that there is need to document all Historical Sites in the country before declaring them as Heritage Sites.

And, Fourth President, Rupiah Banda has praised President Hichilema for his stance to enhance national unity and to recognise freedom fighters.

Banda also observed that historical sites where the struggle for independence was directed must be cherished. Znbc
