I started running 40 years ago, I never looked back, pensioner eyes 42km challenge

WHILE some people believe old age is meant for sitting on the veranda counting grandchildren, veteran runner Hastings Mwila is proving that retirement can also mean conquering 42 kilometres.

The grandfather of three is one of the participants expected to take on the full marathon at this Saturday's NAPSA Pensioners Marathon, a race he says has brought excitement back into his running journey that began over 40 years ago.

Speaking during the Pensioners Marathon live show on Kalemba last night, Hastings, popularly known as "Cool Runnings" in Zambia's running circles, said he is eagerly looking forward to completing the full marathon despite being a pensioner.

"I'll be running the 42 kilometres and I'm excited to be part of the Pensioners Marathon," said Hastings.

Hastings revealed that his love for running started over four decades ago while he was still in college after he was introduced to marathon running through the Zambia Higher Institutions of Learning.

He said before then, he was only familiar with cross-country races, making the marathon a completely new challenge.

"I ran my first marathon about 40 years ago. It was something new at the time because we were mostly exposed to cross-country races. I wanted to test my fitness and see what I was capable of," he said.

Although he described himself as "naive" during that first race, Hastings impressed by finishing the marathon in three hours and 18 minutes.

After years of slowing down, he resumed running in 2015 and has never looked back.

"Since I came back in 2015, I have enjoyed every bit of running. It has become part of my life," he said.

The NAPSA Pensioners Marathon is aimed at encouraging healthy living and proving that fitness has no age limit by bringing together runners from different generations, including students, parents and retirees.

This year's event will be held on Saturday, July 25, starting at Levy Mall.

You're commissioning toilets, you call Chiefs? Hichilema angers Mundubile

NATIONAL Reconciliation Party for Unity and Prosperity—NRPUP Presidential candidate Brian Mundubile has criticised President Hakainde Hichilema for inviting traditional leaders to witness the commissioning of Phase II of the Chisamba Solar Power Plant, describing the practice as disrespectful to chiefs.

Speaking during a campaign rally in Serenje yesterday, Mundubile said he was disappointed to learn that traditional leaders from the district had travelled to Chisamba at the invitation of government to attend the Presidential event.

He argued that chiefs should remain at their palaces carrying out their traditional responsibilities instead of being moved around to attend government functions.

Mundubile pledged that, if elected President, he would restore the Ministry of Chiefs and Traditional Affairs, saying the move would return the dignity and respect he believes traditional leaders deserve.

"We will bring back the Ministry of Chiefs and Traditional Affairs so that our traditional leaders can regain the dignity they deserve. We want our chiefs to be respected," he said.

He questioned why chiefs should be summoned to attend project commissioning ceremonies, dismissing such events as inappropriate occasions for traditional leaders.

"You don't move chiefs like that. Chiefs must be seen at their palaces. Where you're commissioning toilets or projects, you summon chiefs. That disrespect ends here. We will restore the dignity of chiefs," Mundubile said.

The NRPUP leader further argued that chiefs occupy permanent traditional positions, unlike politicians who serve through elections.

"Chiefs are born leaders, and we politicians are only voted for. A President must not disrespect chiefs like that. You summon all chiefs as if they are children being ferried to come and clap for you," he said.

Mundubile concluded by apologising to traditional leaders on behalf of the current administration,
