@mutachali I remember the Russian ambassador telling news reporters that Zambia is going to regret voting against Russia at the UN in the early stages of the Ukraine war.
I think that could have had an impact on our relationship with Russia.
The is what happens when you weaponise the US dollar. Why would you hold US paper when it can be confiscated at the stroke of a pen?
Keep your eyes on the US bond market...
ZCCM also has to pay 90% of Trafigura's legal fees, about $2.4 million plus about $100,000 toward the cost of running the arbitration itself.
The latest ZCCM financials that are in public domain (HY 2025) show that ZCCM had $12 million cash on hand. ZCCM is also being charged interest at SOFR + 5%...compounded!! Millingo Lungu is yet to explain what happened to the advance payments.
Zambian tax payers are on the hook for this judgment amount, so that a few individuals could get rich at the expense of poor Zambians.
Unemployment hits different when you’re a man. Family treats you differently. People lose respect for you. Nobody cares about you or what you say. Family is only nice when you have something to offer. WAKE UP everyday and fix your life.The world is very cruel to a poor man.
Is this the kind of Zambia the freedom fighters wanted? Did they fight white people so that we could come loot and oppress each other? Some towns still only boast of the same structures left 60yrs ago. Why do we have so much energy to fight each other than developing our country?
“Look at your age mates” — this statement has pushed many people into unhealthy relationships, marriages, prisons, and hospitals. Be careful! Run your own race. Walk your own path. Be yourself. The world will always adjust.
People talk like unemployment is a personality flaw. You can have 2 degrees, 5 years experience, and still get 200 rejections. The job market is brutal right now. People must Stop shaming people for struggling.
Life becomes easier and enjoyable when you have your own money & you can afford the things you want on an individual level. I hope the sun rises for those doing their best to afford the little things that make them happy
As long as you have an option, you are privileged. Do you know that there are people who walk from Chazanga to and from town for work everyday? Chazanga, Mandevu, Chaisa and once they reach Emmasdale they are in town. In 2026, people have fulltime jobs but cannot afford bus fare.
This is 10:30 at night, I just got home straight from the office and then a girl somewhere expects my money to be her love language. 😒
Mulangala baiche 🤣
