@MadridistaBJ07@BuyoyaJonah It is not normal not everyone thinks what the government is doing is normal. It is being emotional insensitive to take the body of a greiving family against their wish.
10 months ago today, a former president died. His successor heard.
Since then, the successor’s primary concern has been the same: not grief nor concern for the deceased’s family, but self-service. “I must attend the funeral or else there will be none.”
After failing to get his way, he moved to block the burial and waste millions of taxpayers’ money on hiring lawyers in a foreign land to secure his interest.
That is his mind in its purest form: what is in it for me?
Not empathy.
Not compassion.
Not dignity.
Just a presidency where even death gets measured in personal benefit.
The man is EVIL. He does not care about anything and anyone except for their use and benefit to him.
Vile. Despicable.
I agree with several of Sishuwa’s criticisms and share the sense of disappointment. I too voted for HH, believing he would embody the courage and impartiality that defined leaders like Levy Mwanawasa. Instead, the biggest letdown has been on corruption and the failure to decisively safeguard Zambians interests in our own economy. Many of us hoped for stronger protection of strategic national assets and meaningful Zambian participation in key sectors, but that resolve has not been evident.
Where I differ from Sishuwa is on foreign policy. While I respect the legacy of Kenneth Kaunda, his approach cannot automatically be the benchmark for today’s geopolitical realities. If Zambia claims to be non-aligned, that principle must be applied consistently and independently, not through reflexive alignment with any bloc.
Ultimately, the frustration stems from love of country. Zambia deserves courageous, principled leadership that protects national interests, fights corruption without hesitation, and governs with integrity. The real question is: where are the Mwanawasas and Kaundas of tomorrow?
Yesterday, as I was picking out my clothes for washing, I found a K500 note in one of the pockets; money I wasn’t expecting. I thought to myself, ‘Wow, a little surprise.’ A few moments later, I was pacing outside when I overheard my neighbour’s gardener talking to his friend. He said that the previous night, his baby got very sick, and he and his wife had to walk to Chelston Clinic very early in morning because he had no money. He left his wife there and walked back home to prepare for work, afraid that if he didn’t show up, he’d lose his job. Silverest to Chelston is not a short distance.
When I heard that, I knew instantly that the K500 I had found wasn’t mine to keep, it was meant for him. I called him, gave him but he looked shocked so I told him, ‘I overheard your story.’ He thanked me and I watched him immediately rush to the booth to send the money to his wife on AirtelMoney. And right there, I realized something…. sometimes doing good and sharing doesn’t need to come from abundance; it just requires a willing heart to respond when God whispers. I feel so good I helped someone at that point. 🙏
