Ya, the king and the ruler of this nation. Father, we surrender, whatever we have, we surrender. And I ask you that you brought me up here at such a time as this. When are the men way better, they could have been here. But you brought me, Lord, in order to proclaim your name Asawa 업 ne Linda, Ba Leia, opahelana a jauzati goshi eita Sagaedini t iki idiobani gurity disa, tortador, gu nowaks,ографiern e when Things were so clear i ue lo m guna vai kayo latcheon suppes k Hold on Rev hogy mi az új ilyen? Hoh, let's get on with it. This is a story behind the stadiums. So, what we're standing, so just one stadium. What you see behind us, that's a recent stadium. It was built between 2011 and 2014. It was completed in 2014 and officially opened. So, there are two names that were suggested before it was named Hero Stadium. Two names? Yes. The initial name was supposed to be Gabon Air Disaster Stadium. It was suggested by a Ministry of Sports then where Chimba Kampiri. Now, it's in the opposition. It's the longer part of the government. So, at the time that it was the means of sports, it suggested to name it Gabon Air Disaster Stadium. I know that there was public upro. But I often like using that name is kind of disrespectful to the people who don't very much time. That is exactly what the reaction from the public was. They were like, you cannot name a stadium after that. We've grown past the grieving stage. We've grieved for years and accepted that. And we've got a new group of Polo players. Exactly. So, what's the point of naming a stadium after such a... So, what is a new name right now? Exactly. So, after public upro, they named more suggested by the public to say it's supposed to be named Hero Stadium. That's the power of social media. There was a social media campaign. Most of the young people said, no, the name that we want is Hero Stadium. Hero Stadium. Yes. If someone is watching this video right now, they don't know why the name Hero Stadium. Yes. Why the name Hero Stadium? Thank you. So, this is a 60-seater capacity stadium. And it's named the Hero Stadium because of the Gabon Air disaster. One that was mentioned, they named that suggested. So, in 1993, players, the Chipotle Polo, were going for a match in Gabon and using Zafair airplane. Zafair is like the Zambia Air Force. We crashed in Gabon and all the day, 12 players and the technical team that was part of it died. So, that's where Hero Stadium comes from. So, that's the Heroes now. They are Heroes, right? So, they use the name Hero. But I'm seeing another stadium right behind that. Yes. This was the stadium that you guys have before. This one? Yes. So, Zair mentioned the entire area is surrounded by two stadiums. So, what you see behind us is what is called the Independence Stadium. The Independence Stadium represents our independence when Zambia became independent from Britain, which is 1964. So, this is the stadium that you see behind us. So, later on after becoming a global stadium, they said these are the same stadium. They decided to build the Heroes Stadium, the one that we had mentioned. We didn't mention. Yes. So, this is the graveyard where they buried the 25 players, including the technical team. Yes. So, this is just the right opposite Independence Stadium and a few meters behind Heroes Stadium. So, what you see besides us, this is a grip site. So, all the players that died in that plane crash in 1993 are buried here. Not only the players, but also the technical team that is the doctors that involved in the stuff that were in five in total. One important story that is with Noten is that one player survived, great Kahlo. I don't know if you've come across that name. It's a very good player for Zambia. So, the time that his friends were on board this flight, he wasn't available to get on the flight. So, he missed the flight and that's how he survived. He missed the flight. And survived. God really loves him. I know right. Is there any special day that the entire country celebrate these heroes? Yes. So, that's two different days. I told you Independence will be obtained in 1964, right? And then in 1993, that's when this gentleman passed on. So, because we changed it from a grooming moment and morning moment into a celebration, we said, let us honor this gentleman, honor Independence Day when we celebrate Independence. So, that's the day that has been picked when we commemorate their lives when we bring the families together, the families that are left behind. Because most of these gentlemen are very young kids at the time that they had passed on because they are in their prime themselves they are not very old at the time. So, they are left very young kids, some of them are left in mines, some of them were left not yet born as pregnancies. So, when you get to meet the families that are behind those names, that's when the effect comes in, you get the age, right? It's quite easy for a nation to say, no, we're celebrating this gentleman. Because you don't see the faces that are really affected by their loss. So, when we celebrate them on Independence Day, when you get to see the families where there are no proper facts to this story, you say, okay, this is exactly what caused the plane to crash. And there are some rumors to say, some of the parts that are buried in these graves are simply plain parts, not inside the body parts. So, all those misconceptions and stories on the thing, now you can imagine that's been talked about like that. So, yeah. Wow. And I can see that Zambians are not born in any more, but rather celebrating this. I didn't name any streets, any schools, hospitals, these heroes because in Ghana, definitely who named these people with our streets and all other stuff. One thing that is very common about Africans is that our mindset is not very different. We are pretty much the same people, you get the idea, right? Yeah. So, the names of these heroes that you see there, when you go across the nation, you find either a road, a street, some stadium, some small fish named after these gentlemen here. So, pretty much everyone of them is on the in that regard. Because we decided to move from that morning state, because we wanted to, wow. If you have footage all over online, you can see, even the president, when he was acknowledging to say, he couldn't hurt himself, he's composure, there's this assumption to say as a president, you're not supposed to show emotions, you could not hurt him, he cried like a baby, if you see that the represent, that is president Fredric Chiluma. He's also late, he's so rest in place. You know what? Being here, I can imagine how people felt in the year 1993. Yeah. I do the same moment. You can't hold the tears that were in that stadium, the independent stadium. As we go closer, we West Africa, we have a tradition. Already. You have to take off your shoes. That's a West African tradition. Pay respect. On behalf of myself, the entire YouTube subscribers, we're going to learn it. Watching this video for the first time, let's pay respect to them. Yes, indeed. You are gone, but not forgotten. May your soul rest in and turn up. Peace. If you want to see anything about Zambia, he's the best guy to show you around. Go subscribe to his YouTube channel, go support him. Yeah, this is how we do it. It's all about Africa to the world. He will represent Africa to the world here in Lusaka. That's why it's in Dunages the Name.
