The chief is right, we have failed ourselves. And the problem is that we as a people are way too incompatible to belong to one nation. You cannot mix salt, sugar and petrol to make a cocktail, it will kill you. The sooner we federalize or split up the better. I mean, some people’s culture is stealing, how can you develop a nation like that. Look at the 48 houses and nobody knows the owner, it’s crazy!

In reply to Obatala.

Mulopwe you are right on two things
1. Our current situation is influenced by our past. And if you look at Africa, one of the great evils was having chiefs. They exploited their people and sold them as slaves to the white slavers. So you must be ashamed to be a chief.
2. The current political parties are not the solution. Yes I agree. But PF need to go. Of all the regimes we have had in Zambia this has been the laziest, most incompetent and most corrupt. I am quite sure even a frog would do better. I will vote for ANYTHING that is not PF!

But you are wrong to blame capitalism. Why? Because your analysis of c aspiralism is based on propaganda that dominated the days of the cold war and not on facts.
The reasons Russia lost and US won the cold war were….a result of idiology vis a…

The chief of tribes has lost his marbles. Who wants to read his mind-bogglingly banal articles?

What’s the author’s main point? This is not helpful to the reader as the author hasn’t given any topic sentence that provides an overview of the material.The details he has given us are supposed to support the main point, which is missing.

A good piece of article but suffice to say that it will not be read owing to poor reading culture in our nation. There are arm-chair-critics who just trade in insults and do not bother reading such a long article. The points the chief has put forward are very cardinal and salient because they border on the genesis of our poverty and ignorance. I believe KK try his best to put this country on the map as regards to education. He might have his own weaknesses but he valued education more than his successor. He inherited civil service that was only white leaden characters. He had only 100 graduates in his government. But he managed to create a cadre of highly educated engineers,doctors and a lot of professionals. He built UNZA out of donations of the citizenry. Chiluba wiped out all the…

So much written, very little if anything said.

Further, I think you’ve omitted 1 important decision that KK and UNIP made, and that is the Mulungushi Reforms and how it was mismanaged. Please factor that into the article and you’d have wholly summed up Zambia’s economic woes. Indeed you’re Dr Mwine Lubemba

I used to value this man’s theses until I pounced upon one where he said he had information that a named opposition political party had plans of dethroning him once in power.
