Very correct analysis except that these PF kaponyas have no capacity to see what went wrong because they were used to sleep with money on their beds. When now they are asked by courts to explain where they got the money they fail, and simply say no its persecution.

All about enriching themselves!!

Looks like LT relies on free reports. Thats why they arent on top of things. As you can see in their appeal for Column articles they were asked how much they pay for stories but couldnt answer. Free articles are usually full of cooked opinions and other lies. LT, Employ a fulltime newsroom!

The drought has affected the entire Southern Africa but how come waterless South Africa has effectively dealt with loadshedding?
They surely have a better government because it is Ramaphosa who has solved the problem while our gallivanting President has been busy spreading his carbon footprint and contributing to global warming. That global warming will only mean more droughts, therefore more loadshedding.

Stop blaming the previous government. Your government has received plenty of kaloba from IMF and World Bank which they are misusing. Otherwise you are correct when you say “we appoint cadres and nincompoops as ministers”. How can we replace the current crop of nincompoops? 2026 is too far away. We will soon be bankrupt

Which government? Do you even understand what is happening? Zambia could have bought sufficient amount of electricity from Mozambiaque but the previous government left huge amounts of debt. How do you pay that debt when the Chinese also want their money? This drought has exposed this country to our short-term thinking. Scientists have been warning for years of climate change but did previous governments adhere to the warnings? No, they didn’t because we appoint cadres and nincompoops as ministers.

If you look at the time time before the rain season begins, it is very clear that the water in the dam would have been enough with just a little load shedding. GRZ should declare our coal resources a strategic resource and build more coal power plants. Furthermore they should not delay the construction of Batoka, Mambilima and Mumbotuta hydro power plants. Zambia should also adopt aggressive bioenergy program to substitute petroleum products with ethanol and biomass. What are the planners at Ministry of Energy doing? Are thy Chimbwi No Plan?
