PRESIDENT Hakainde Hichilema says those who like laughing at his shoes and outfits must understand that when one reaches a certain level, they have no time for boutiques.
Addressing UPND members in Kitwe yesterday, President Hichilema stated that he was aware of what most netizens say about his outfits.
The President said at a certain level, one does not pay attention to shoes but focuses on the needs of orphans.
“I see on social media people saying look at Hakainde one suit, look at his shoes. At a certain level you don’t pay attention to shoes, you pay attention to orphans. I love to wear shoes of the same colour. I love the same type of shoes. It’s called a habit, consistency. It’s called other things are not as important,” he stated.
“Wait until you reach a certain level of hard work, you will have no time to go into boutiques. If you see someone moving with shiny shoes, just watch them, they do very little business.”
