Hichilema said: "Caught up with one of our country's young and talented footballers currently playing for Scotland's Rangers F.C here in Glasgow, Fashion Sakala.
"Fashion represents the great talent in our youths who should be encouraged to continue raising the bar higher and be good ambassadors for the country.
"We have a number of our young talented sportsmen and women both at home and abroad who should be encouraged to achieve more.
"It was touching to hear that Fashion feels his life mirrors ours as he also grew up in the village, worked hard and is now on the world stage.
