Hakainde Hichilema's secret daughter Chi-Chi still looking to be accepted by her father

The controversy over the secret child of Hakainde Hichilema, President of the United Party for National Development, Zambia, is taken a stir every day. People are disappointed with Hichilema for hiding such a big thing related to his life from his followers. A media house named Associates Times made shocking revelations.

Hichilema entered into active politics in 2006 and became the president of the UPND; Hichilema has frequently maintained that he only has three children, a daughter and two sons.

During an interview in the post in 2006, Hichilema had revealed that he and his wife have three children, a twelve-year-old daughter named Miyanda, two sons named nine-year-old Habwela and six-year-old Chikonka. Ever since, he never revealed about his fourth child, who also happens to be his daughter.

Hakainde Hichilema has been telling lies to the general public for over one decade; he had been making fake claims of having three kids in public statements and even forged in his legal declarations. Hichilema's followers are unable to handle the deceit by their leader.

Hichilema's secret daughter is Chi Chi Hichilema, whom he had been hiding from the Zambian public since the day she was born. HH's only recognized daughter and the eldest child, Miyanda, was born in 1995, while Chi Chi was born soon after that.

While Hichilema is Chi Chi's biological father, but she isn't his wife Mutinta's daughter.

Chi Chi grew in vagueness, secreted away in darkness at the Hichilema family farm. In 2013, with the assistance of one of HH's friends, Gerry Muuka, she was sent to study in the United States at Murray State University, following in the steps of her sister, Miyanda. The latter was already attaining education in the same institution.

Even though Chi Chi is also Hichilema's biological daughter, but he had been taking her as a weight on his political aspirations, feeling her as an embarrassment to his name.

Chi Chi is strictly demanded to remain in the United States and never travel to Zambia, not even for vacation. She had been allowed only a single trip in four years.

Chi Chi's existence would have continued being in darkness if a journalist from a small student radio station at Murray had not interviewed the Hichilema siblings.

In March 2015, WKMS Radio aired the interview with Chi Chi and Miyanda, the only two Zambian pupils at Murray State University. The girls talked about how they settled up at the university, what they believe of Murray and how to address someone in Tonga.

They also talked about their life as a family in Zambia and their biological father. "Our dad always says that education is the best equalizer," said Miyanda, stating that "he is a business person, a farmer, he is an economist. He is a little bit of everything."

It is extremely shocking that Hichilema never revealed having a secret daughter, even though he bragged about paying education of fees for over 20 children, stressing that they are just kids who are not his.

Chi Chi is a pretty and smart woman. But she was made to separate herself from her family and her nation. "Nobody but me" is the quote listed as a bio on her Instagram account.

The questions that arises in every person's mind is that why Hakainde Hichilema had been hiding Chi-Chi for so many years and why she isn't allowed to live her life on her terms. Her fundamental rights had been violated by Hichilema for his own political gains. People are the judges to better decide if they want a man like Hichilema as a person to lead their country. He is a man who couldn't come out to accept his own daughter and left her on a distant farm to grow up.
