Monze Central aspiring parliamentary candidate Victor Cheelo has echoed President Hakainde Hichilema’s call for hard work, urging young people to embrace self‑reliance through small‑scale economic activities.

Speaking at the burial of his uncle, centenarian Josiah Hamalambo (102), Cheelo told mourners that success begins with identifying what one already has and working at it relentlessly.

Cheelo encouraged youths not to despise small beginnings, citing practical examples: “One can start with chickens, and after a few years buy a cow. With focus and determination, you can end up the biggest rancher.”

He said Hamalambo’s long life was a lesson in resilience, faith, discipline, and consistency, urging young people to invest in themselves rather than wait for hand‑outs.

Cheelo emphasized that every individual has the potential to become a force for change, calling on the community to embrace the culture of hard work championed by President
