The amount of energy that we are spending yearning for change should be the same amount of energy that we must spend to search for a sustainable vision for Zambia.

The commendable initiative by News Diggers to accord a platform to various Opposition Parties so that they can articulate to the Zambian people, their vision for our nation, is a critical step towards re-establishing our lost sense of democracy.

It is my honest view that the people around President Lungu should not put pics showing-off their opulent life style out into the public sphere.
