As we sober up after #ZambianElections, we also need to stop treating criticism as a form of #hostility.
A citizen asking difficult questions is not automatically against the government. Another acknowledging progress is not automatically compromised.
Zambia cannot/will not improve when/if every conversation is forced into two camps. #drcbspeaks
When tragedy befalls a nation, it is not time to choose sides or stay silent. It is time to demand the truth. Kafwaya’s death should be a “tools down” moment on politics. Politics arent worth a human life. We deserve answers. His family deserves truth and an apology.

Southern province has saved us from a lot..
At this point, better namonapo content yakwa jito iyama drones pa TL than another one of jj banda's "ambuye" live stream ilya nachimona.... 😭😭😭
@MonicaEisenberg@KayomboKayongo@briansimasiku I hear you. My point is that there are solutions available. At the height of load shedding a lot of these businesses opted for gensets which are actually more expensive in the long run.
My usual barber man is out of town and so i decided to go to a different barbershop to have a hair cut, to cut story short i will be wearing a cap 🧢 until my hair grows back, God will punish that guy😭😭
This striking video clip shows opposition candidate Brian Mundubile entering Northwestern Province, the centre of operations for First Quantum Minerals, the Canadian mining giant which, according to @Global_Witness, is “bankrolling President Hichilema” and has “diverted [$771m] away from the copper-rich nation’s indebted economy and its people.”

The province is also a ruling party stronghold. Mining corporations can easily buy Zambia’s ruling elite, but ultimately it is poor and ordinary voters who will decide the 13 August election. I maintain that Hichilema will lose and there is little he can do now to change his fate apart from reckless industrial-scale vote rigging.
Goodbye, Mr @HHichilema. Your presidency was good for tribalists, the corrupt, and foreign commercial interests, but it has been a five-year nightmare for many Zambians.
