All domestic football
league fixtures in Zambia this weekend have been postponed, as part of a
national day of prayer and fasting on Sunday. President Edgar Lungu has
asked for a day of forgiveness and reconciliation to be observed, as well as
prayers to help combat the social and economic problems that have beset the
country.
BBC report continues:
Different forms of entertainment are being discouraged so people can observe the day and bar owners have been asked to close their businesses.
Different forms of entertainment are being discouraged so people can observe the day and bar owners have been asked to close their businesses.
So
the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has decided to heed the president's
call.
"It's
a time for all of us to rededicate ourselves to God, to re-energize our
relationship with him and beseech him to take the lead in our lives, our game
and our country," FAZ head Kalusha Bwalya said.
The
games scheduled for this weekend will take place on Wednesday 21 October.
