Zambians shun national prayer day

Zambia‘s national prayer day has been marked with an unusual occurrence – there were thousands of empty seats at the main stadium in the capital, Lusaka, where the main event was held.

Launched in 2015 by former President Edgar Lungu, the annual event became a big draw for tens of thousands.

Even though attendance has been falling in recent years, the empty seats on Tuesday were shocking in a country which, by constitution, is a Christian nation.
