@Princess, for an expert, your ignorance is beautifully amazing. Firstly, you state that because the UAE built their nuclear plant within 5 years, conveniently forgetting that the UAE has several individuals who are much richer than the whole Zambia.
We are stalling to build universities of 300 million and you are going on about 2billion for a project that requires highly skilled people. That’s just the economics of it.
You are placing yourself on a pedestal of expertise but haven’t brought up anything worthwhile. If I happen to work for Nokia here, does that make me an expert in saying Zambia should built her own technology company and supply 5g technology? The logical thing would be for me to advocate that Zambia focus on production of components used in technology.
Zambia should…

Forget nuclear in Zambia, with some of you’s thieving culture and regional development tribalistic bigotry, you will locate the plant in a place in your province along a kama seasonal stream. Start stealing spares. When drought comes and water dries out, elyo bebele Iekeniluunye lwakwa Noah.,.

This is madness, a landlocked country whose hydro power stations are failings because of elnino now dreaming of nuclear plants! What if the water to cool the nuclear core runs out because of drought? That’s cause for a chain reaction that will lead to a meltdown, we are talking Fukushima Nuclear disaster here. I just hope if it’s built it’s in your provinces since you like to take it all. Have you ever wondered why 99 percent of all nuclear plants are in coastal areas, uninterrupted source of water as a nuclear coolant. That Nkandu Luo was expose to weapons grade radiation that’s why one minute she sees buildings and the next minute they’re disappearing, that’s exposure for you.

In reply to Too much incompetency in Zambia.

To say that you’re being silenced is rather preposterous. My input was about embracing an energy mix which includes renewables. By the way Europe also has renewables and they started there. Therefore all these technologies started with white people. However my argument was not even about white vs blacks, but rather about socio-economic challenges that Zambia faces which need a practical approach through an energy mix. Chirwa, I work in the nuclear and sharing my experience. You’re arguing from a “hearsay” position.

And Lusaka was built in a day?? Iam just saying stop trying to shut us up with the cliches that are giving you this very cliched line of thought: that we should do every little thing the European man does.. When did anyone dream about Rome? Who did? You Africans like embellishing white people’s idolisations etching them into stone. because you want to glorify every white achievement. Because the Europeans have nuclear we must have nuclear?. We have our own path to tread and the sooner we realise that the sooner we will see the first step towards development.

@Princess, so five makes the difference? I would challenge you to name those five, the two I know are not even in Zambia at the moment, with one being a student in the Nordic.
You state that you work in a nuclear reactor, well and good for you, although I must state it’s for an expert, you are exceedingly ignorant in saying it doesn’t require nuclear scientists to operate, have you heard of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster? The Fukushima nuclear disaster?
I challenge you to state why solar is a short term solution for a country that always has plenty of sunlight? I would go on statistics for countries..
Again, I would like to think that our discussion right now is constructive and has facts, let’s maintain it that way.

Rome wasn’t built in one day. It started as a dream which was turned into reality. Every country that is developed had to start somewhere. In other nations, government get support from their citizens while in Africa, we use every opportunity to criticise our government. Again, addressing energy poverty will solve many challenges including lack of clean water for community.
