The opposition Zambian Direct Democracy Movement (ZDDM) has written a letter to the Catholic Church at the Vatican in Rome, Italy to plead with the Church to pray for Zambia to save it from joining the long list of troubled countries in Africa.
In a letter dated 7th August 2014 addressed to Pope Francis copied to Vatican Ambassador in Lusaka Julio Murat and made available to Qfm news, the ZDDM has also noted the need for the Church’s blessings as it works on establishing a new national order which will allow citizens to work together in unity and love.
ZDDM president Edwin Sakala says his party further maintains that Zambia is still failing to enjoy its abundant wealth because of alleged too much witchcraft in the political arena.
Sakala says this alleged witchcraft borders on Satanism manifesting in the daily flow of bloodshed an environment which he has described as dirty starting from the town center of Lusaka and that the spirit of selfishness and hateful thinking is allegedly being found in the once joyful and loving population.
He says his party is also disappointed and hurt that even the Church is allegedly being used as a hideout for criminal elements.
The ZDMM president says people who are allegedly perpetuating evils in the Zambian society have been seen lifting their hands and heard singing songs of praise when their lives and conduct after such church services is the exact opposite.
He says it is against this background that his party has decided to undertake an uphill battle of identifying God fearing citizen to contest the presidential and parliamentary seats in the next election with the agenda and goal of building on the declaration of Zambia as a Christian nation.
The opposition leader says it is also for this reason that Zambia therefore needs prayers from the Catholic Church leadership in the Vatican to defeat the spirit of darkness enslaving and destroying the lives of the once happy and forward looking people.
