In an interview, Tuesday, Mundubile said the prevailing economic crisis was a chance for the opposition to prove that they had solutions for the country. “We are saying if there is something we are doing wrong tell.......

Election convention with no single ballot cast confirms PF as a dictatorship
The definition of democracy seems to be eluding us. We say so because what happened at the PF convention is anything but democracy and yet we seem to be accepting and tolerating the decision of the ruling party to completely ignore the provisions of the Constitution that require casting of a ballot when parties are choosing their leaders. If we know what democracy is, there would be no way we could accept what transpired at the PF convention. Yes, We! We are saying “we” because the PF convention is not just a party activity, it’s an event that is stipulated.......

Chipolopolo’s AfCON 2021 journey: From one time winner to three time flops
No amount of grandstanding or attempt to divert attention with some feeble explanation will erase the ignominy of Zambia’s failure to qualify to the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations. It’s no longer news to remind ourselves this is a third consecutive failed attempt at a competition we once thought was a birthright. Records show we have made 17 trips out of 32 editions. With 17 appearances, 7 less than table-toppers Egypt, Zambia accounts for three final appearances translating into one….
Agriculture is still a neglected sector in Zambia: Can Wheat be the wonder crop?
In this feature, I use the wheat sub-sector in Zambia to show that despite all the rhetoric about sector diversification, agriculture as a whole is still a neglected sector. Previous Governments, including the current Patriotic Front led Government have conveniently advanced agriculture narrowly around political lines (maize-centric) as opposed to wider economic considerations of various crop varieties that can contribute to not only job creation and income disbursement to local grower, but also value addition and exports growth. I argue....
