Mwisho, I bumped into 3 people from Bhutan.
A small mountain enclave in asia.
When I mentioned I originate from Zambia, they exclaimed with surprise and interest. The trio didn't know the country.
I relish such moments.
Then I went into a charm offensive about Zambia. With great detail, I described it as a spectacular tourist destination and the last bastion of peace in africa.
Bhutan is a kingdom.
So, as I concluded my spin, I explained I was equally from a powerful royal family that sits in a vast chiefdom in Luanshya and we own a copper mine as a family, over 1000 chickens, 967 cows, 749 goats and 92 elephants.
The overdrive didn't end there. I fed their curiosity and informed them that most of you here are actually my subjects. Since I am heir to the throne and I will be succeeding my aging father.
Mwisho, I know you are young, wild, free and childless.
And you need to live your life on your own terms.
But life starts dictating its own harsh terms to you when you advance well into your 30s.
Don't neglect to invest on the Lusaka Securities Exchange.
LuSE will be minting the next set of millionaires.
The Zambian stock exchange already has two listed companies with a market cap of $1 billion.
The best time to invest is when the chips are down and the economy is in distress.
This tweet will still be relevant in 2029.
Mwisho, sometimes Zambian justice is a matter of time and perspective:
1. Ronald Chitotela, Nixon Chilangwa and 3 others.
Offence: Arson in 2021. Jailed in 2024 for 10 and 5 years.
2. Davies Chama and Brian Nyoni.
Offence: Grievous bodily harm. They fired a weapon causing life threatening injuries in 2015. Jailed: 2025 for 8 years.
3. Shabby Chilekwa & Mumbi Phiri.
Offence: Murder in 2019. Chilekwa jailed 25 years in 2023. Phiri walks free after 12 months in remand.
4. Bowman Lusambo.
Offence: Assault in 2019. Jailed 2024 for 2 years.
5. Chishimba Kambwili.
Offence: Hate speech in 2021. Jailed 5 months in 2025.
Conclusion: With the current murder scandal in the Zambian farming community, what you do with this information is up to you and your grandfather.
But justice always reappears after power changes hands. 2021, 2031, 2036 or even 2041 - it's all a matter of perspective and borrowed time.
