A test to see who can or can’t vote. This goes back to what I once said some years ago and that is the majority will always be f.00.ls and that is according to the great Philosopher Plato whose writings on the subject of ethics is well documented. If everyone was like me for instance Zambia would be a paradise without poverty, no litter, proper housing for all, free food and education for all with respect for the rule of law. But sadly the majority are a bunch of cretins who have sh1t for brains.

Where has Dambisa Moyo practised economics? It’s nice to think economically but it’s even better to practise it by crafting and implementing policy so that your thinking is tested. In DEAD AID she theorised that getting money from bond markets would be preferable because it would impose discipline on borrowers. Where’s discipline on the PF regime? All those commenting have not read the book that made her name. But it is not worth the hype.

We are equal as citizens but we don’t all have the same ability to critically analyse the state of affairs in the country. Desperate and illiterate people in poorer areas of our country are taken advantage of by politicians who have realised that they have a pool of voters that are easy to buy off. They do not understand economics at that level and are easily swayed by loud music, alcohol and empty promises of good things to come. Let’s allow the better informed to decide the future of our country. This can also be done by increasing education levels among our people.

Does ANYONE honestly believe Donnie would have won against Bernie Sanders, ECL against HH, Sampa without abuse of government resources, CR11 against Malema, yes even Mandela against de Klerk IF HE PEOPLE VOTED ACCORDING TO THEIR NEEDS? hanks Dambisa for sharing your thoughts: the “Wretched of the Earth” are their greatest ENEMY via DISINFORMAION AND MANIPULAION…the illusion of partaking….

While you say a kaponya can be bribed with chibuku, “well informed” professionals can equally be bribed with other things. Being educated doesn’t make one super or better human being. The Chinese succeeded because the took everyone on board, we Africans want a special place for our intellectuals- THAT’S WHY WE FAIL!!

Why should the vote of a tribalist southerner, professional or not, who believes it is time Zambia had a president from their region, carry more weight than others??? It’s an elitist system. We subscribed to democracy and we are getting it. Zimbabwe just chose its leaders and the world must respect the will of the people. Every citizen’s preference must be respected regardless of their social status or academic ability.

There should be some form of weighted meritocratic voting system. Why should a vote of a kaponya who has been bribed with utijilijili and chibuku to vote for a candidate and doesn’t even understand why he has to vote be considered equal to a vote of a professional whose vote is informed by a detailed evaluation and analysis of what his/her vote implies for the well – being of this country?
