Exactly what China (Japan too) did

The solution? “To foster a culture of innovation, Zambia must embrace outside ideas”. Zambia has had carbon copied outside (Western) ideas for over 60 years; 100 since the arrival of Cecil Rhodes and nothing has come out of this. The Zambian has forgotten that he can sort out his own problems. He needs a self-focussed curriculum in school to remind him of that all the time.

The reason why Kaunda resorted to a one party state is because Simon Kapwepwe tried to divide the country on tribal grounds. This is why Kaunda instituted tribal balancing which worked well. Unfortunately, the tranquility resulting from this policy induced an amnesia, in which people naively believed that Chiluba would abide by the same policy. However, Chiluba immediately introduced the tribalism that Kaunda had quelled. Chiluba hated Tonga people, and implemented measures to destroy the economic of Southern Province. Under him, 2 million cows in the province died of preventable disease, while he gleefully refused to raise a finger. He appointed a government in which 45% of the ministers were Bemba.

All these can be kinda fixed for the next generations………

By education,……….

there are things a most households or workplaces can not teach……..

The glaring solution is making our people go through a compulsory subject, with introduction at primary school……..

Going on to secondary school, where all those ills are debunked and taught against…….

At primary school where 90% of the population goes through is where basics of decency should be taught……….

Things like hard work, good morals, patriotism, anti corruption, garbage management are drilled into our kids.

I won’t stop saying this until our educators take note…….
