Republican President Hakainde Hichilema on 8th March 2022, during women’s day honoured Mrs Tulilenji Shita Nabwalya a woman who saved her daughter from a hungry lion in 2013.

The Head of State was briefed that on 15th December 2013 (Sunday Afternoon), while working in her field with her husband in Nabwalya, Tulilenji Shita saw a lioness about to pounce on her one month baby lying on the ground.

Her husband immediately runaway leaving her alone. Her motherly instincts would not bear the sight of seeing her last born daughter being eaten by a hungry lion.

She attacked the lion with a hoe. And YES, she killed it instantly. And no one has ever recognised her for her heroism but President HH has promised to do it next year. Her daughter has now grown up and is now in Grade 4. Take time and leave a word for this wonderful mother.
