Paramount Chief Mpezeni of the Ngoni Speaking people of Eastern Province has called for the reconciliation of President Hakainde Hichilema and his predecessor Edgar Lungu for the country to develop.
Chief Mpezeni says Lungu did his part and must also let President Hichilema also do his part for the country to move forward.
Speaking at a media briefing in Lusaka yesterday, Chief Mpezeni said there is need for the two leaders to find a common ground and be in talking terms.
Chief Mpezeni said the possibility of president Lungu being misadvised by his advisors and those with vested interest are there because they want something done for themselves.
He said President Hichilema also has got advisors whom may also misadvise him just because they want their vested interest to be put forward.
Chief Mpezeni said it is sad to hear Politicians quarrelling; a situation he said is bad and must not be happening.
The Chief also asked President Hichilema to look into the escalating price of Mealie Meal as the situation is causing stress among citizens.
