in faith, he asked everyone even as they are fasting and praying on the 18th October 2020 to remember him in prayers, lets all pray for him for there is nothing God can fail to do, below is his message.
"I have been moved to make this announcement taking into consideration that, although this is a personal and private matter which was actually only known by my relatives, including two sisters, Mrs. Velesi Katema, Mrs. Seba Zulu, my younger brother James Banda and my children here in Zambia and diaspora led by my eldest son James Banda.
the Zambian people who honored me with the privilege to serve them as Head of State for which I will remain forever grateful and indebted, deserve to know that I have been diagnosed with cancer of the colon," President Banda said.

He has since asked Zambians to remember him in prayers.
"Most importantly as the nation will no doubt recall that I lost my first wife Hope Makulu Banda to cancer and as fate would have it, my wife Thandie Chilongo Banda is a cancer survivor. Therefore, her counsel, encouragement, and support born out of her own experience after having successfully battled this type of disease is a great source of inspiration and comfort to me." RB.
