We are very surprised with Tito Mboweni's immature and improper criticism of a sovereign decision by Zambia. The Minister should be attending to COVID problems facing the South Africans, our focus here. We will pursue matter diplomatically.

New year's day enjoyed with family. My prayer is good rains & all fields GREEN with food to avoid price volatility. Food basket diversification critical. Tough decisions expected in 2022 but it's our country-let's develop it together.

Now that RB has been put to rest and everyone talked unity, it is time to heed Ghandi and "be the change you want to see". Let's all reflect and remove the 'log' in our eye before the speck in our neighbour's eye.

Impeccable is the legacy for RB. True teacher, always looking for good in people. He believed that we don't have to break someone else to be ahead. And that family was everything.

The Govt stands with the People of Zambia who even through this latest Constitution review process say no to Homosexuality. As ECL told Sky, standing firm against "order of nature" does not make Zambians uncivilized. They just love their God. Until Zambians change, gayism illegal

I am glad I have the UPND leader's attention. Maybe, we can now set a political agenda focused on issues important to Zambians and not Dora Siliya. The Zambians want solutions to climate change so that hunger situation is alleviated, jobs, business etc.
Enjoy Monday.

Govt surprised by unfounded allegations by Mr Hichilema broadcast today that Govt and the PF Party want to imprison him and/or kill him. That is a cheap attempt, as usual, to invoke sympathy.
Zambians are simply asking him to account for his wealth & his role in privatization.

The power situation is very very bad. In some homes power comes when they are asleep. But like some of you observe, increased tariffs are the long term solution to the problem. Cheap power is not sustainable as will get no investment, no power and load shedding.

A time comes when one must take a stand. I am challenging the UPND leader that if he can produce evidence of ZNBC & ZAFFICO being sold to Chinese within a week, I will resign. However, if he fails then he too must resign as UPND Leader.

It's true! Zambians in Govt, mostly deny Zambians business, because no matter the procedure followed, any business to a Zambian, except for a few crumbs, will be called corruption. To Chinese and Europeans, we all call it investment.

In a Christian nation, levels of belief in witchcraft are alarming. Must be a reflection of our hate for our neighbour. Witchcraft is assumed for riches, HIV/AIDs, jobs etc. Now this gruesome abduction of an albino Child. Love for others and education must be the way.

Govt notes Amb Foote's statement. Matters of diplomacy are better dealt with quietly. Reason our Amb, no matter the difference of opinion, will not address Media in USA. Zambians, like majority Americans are against gayism & Abortion and grateful for U.S. AID against HIV/AIDS.

Lusaka MFEZ, Angola, China etc use cement power poles. Saves trees, creates local jobs, local riches, saves forex. Let's explore.

Once again UPND MPs fail to represent Zambians, walking out on procedure before content debate.Clearly, as we heard from UPND "iron lady" on Hot fm, UPND has NO arguments. They are simply seeking attention on Constitution. On Gayism UPND leadership mute.

It's past 24hrs since a female Minister was so publicly violated with insults, for me, really showered upon all Daughters, Mothers and Grandmas. The Silence from Men, Women, Church, Ngos, Police, MPs-all decent people is toooo loud.
