On this site!

Quite obviously, none of these politicians bothered to read it. They are more interested in scoring political points than actually getting down to the work of solving problems.

They are still as valid today, if not even more so now we have a drought. Food security is a fundamental issue, and for a country like Zambia the fact that we are IMPORTING maize from Tanzania instead of exporting food is a shameful admission of our failures.

It’s long overdue to put this right! We CAN do it. Will those politicians now pay attention?

It’s both ways…. while the opposition maybe ” rejoicing” HH, Mweetwa, Mwiimbu cannot accept ideas from other people lest these people get the “credit”….see it’s a lose lose situation.

Not Zambia though
All the opposition are doing is rubbing their hands in glee using it as an opportunity to bash the government. What a pity.
They are so happy that the drought has come, these people are NOT normal.
M’membe and his crowd are so childish, they need to grow up.

Nobody has been spared. I took maize ku chigayo only discover that there was no power. I rushed some twenty kilometers to the solar operated chigayo only to find more than fifty bags in cue…. reason? The sun is not consistent due to the floating clouds. I have left my bag in the cue and will call tomorrow.
