I’m always baffled at how people born from well to do backgrounds are sometimes shamed for it - as if there’s anything shameful about it. Then the subtle undermining of others who broke the poverty chain with the passive aggressive phrase “new money”.

[Shi Mutale🇿🇲 @ShiMutale98]

Mwisho, life is silencing more people well into their 30's.

We all have that one loud friend who just went off the radar into solitude.

To rediscover themselves.

If you don't know any, you could be the one.

This is the kula umone phase your parents speculated about.

It is now your turn.

Your mum and dad were right about a lot of things. You just thought they were old fashioned.

May you win those silent battles you never speak about.

Yesterday during a Zoom meeting, something awkward happened.

We were onboarding a new remote worker.

The HR casually said:
“Sometimes the team stays online late when things get busy.”

The new lady asked,

“Late as in overtime… or late as in unpaid?”

The whole call went quiet.

Later HR started talking about growth opportunities.

She asked again,

“Does growth here mean salary growth… or just more work?”

Another silence.

I was on that call and it hit me.

People say Gen Z is lazy, but I think they are bold.

But what I saw yesterday didn’t look like laziness.

It looked like a generation that watched the previous one get overworked, underpaid, and easily replaced.

So now they ask the questions before the work starts.

And honestly…

most companies aren’t used to employees asking those questions out loud.

Maybe Gen Z isn’t lazy.

Maybe they just refuse to play the same game.

[Simons @Simon_Ingari]

A Gen Z joined the team.

Week one.

During onboarding, the manager said,
“We sometimes stay late during peak periods.”

Gen Z nodded.

Then asked,
“Is that paid… or just expected?”

The room went quiet.

- No attitude.
- No rebellion.
- Just a question.

Later that day, HR mentioned “growth opportunities.”

Gen Z replied,
“Does growth include raises, or just more responsibility?”

Again, silence.
- No laziness.
- No entitlement.
- Just clarity.

That’s when the team realized something.

When people say
“Gen Z is lazy,”
what they really mean is:

Gen Z watched old generation
- skip meals,
- miss birthdays,
- work weekends,
- and burn out

only to be told
“budgets are tight”
and “be grateful you have a job.”

So Gen Z chose differently.

- They don’t romanticize overwork.
- They don’t confuse suffering with ambition.
- They don’t trade health for praise.

They still work hard.
They just refuse to work for nothing.

It’s not laziness.
It’s pattern recognition.

And honestly,
after everything old generation went through…

Can you really blame them?

Mwisho, I once owned and operated a fleet of busses.

You see.

We show you the success, not our failure.

Public transportation was my direct entry into the rough terrain of business.

Some of you may have even jumped on these busses.

I grew up poor from an exceedingly troubled background of personal loss at an early age.

Recollections of my own mother are now a distant memory. I last saw her alive 27 years ago.

But even with these life altering conspiracies of tragedy, I stepped into privilege in my mid twenties.

It has been a consistent fight of forced entry into the food chain.

Don't close your mouth. It won't get fed.

But that privilege comes at a cost.

Failure, rejection, loss and isolation.

It is a lonely path.

Failure refines you. You can never compete in its absence.

Eventually, I shut down that fleet and liquidated. I expanded too rapid and applied negligence in other key operational systems.

Don't be naive. You won't get rich overnight. It's a process.

That occasional illusion is the reason you are depressed as a 26 year old.

Mwisho, Diamond TV is the future of television broadcasting in Zambia.

And the University of Lusaka is the future of higher education in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Eswatini and Botswana.

Protect these two brands at all cost. They will tell the Zambian story.

Trevor Noah, in his book, Born a Crime, put it well when he wrote, "we tell people to follow their dreams, but you can only dream of what you can imagine, and, depending on where you come from, your imagination can be quite limited."

I got into a conversation with a cab driver juggling two hustles. I asked him how he keeps going and he told me,
"Muntu wanga, growing up is realizing that if your grind waits for your mood, your goals will grow old waiting. You move - even when it doesn’t feel good."
