The following are the highlights of Zambia's major media outlets on Thursday.

-- Zambian President Edgar Lungu has prodded lawmakers to use their time in the National Assembly to interpret the country's amended constitution and make it clear for all Zambians.

-- The African Union (AU) has congratulated Zambian President Edgar Lungu and his vice Inonge Wina on their successful inauguration.

AU Commission chairperson Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma also commended Lungu for emerging victorious in last month's general elections. (DAILY MAIL)

-- The International Criminal Court (ICC) has confirmed that it will investigate allegations of crimes against humanity by the country's main opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema and his vice Geoffrey Mwamba.

The two opposition leaders were reported to the ICC last month by a local law firm following the politically motivated violence that broke out in some parts of the country after the declaration of President Edgar Lungu as winner of the August 11 general elections. (DAILY NATION) Endit
