Did you know that former President Edgar Chagwa Lungu is not in active politics? I know it sounds totally ridiculous and silly, but it is true. Sort of, provided that he actually truthfully resigned as PF President in August 2021. Most Zambians seem to be unclear on what being in "active politics" means. The Benefits...

Why is it that in Zambia we seem to have a great affinity for doing strange things? As already noted by other commentators, the government of Zambia holds two contradictory positions by recognising Mr Miles Sampa as PF president whilst simultaneously withdrawing Mr Edgar Lungu's benefits because he (Lungu) has publicly declared that he has...

Former President Edgar Chagwa Lungu recently announced his return into active politics, to the surprise of no one. According to information in the public domain, it strongly suggests that he resigned as PF President in August 2021 and he then wrote to Cabinet Office informing them he was no longer party President and therefore entitled...

Cab drivers under the Yango taxi hailing app have protested against what they say is "slave" income due to fares that are too cheap. Are their complaints reasonable or is it the usual case of lazy Zambians wanting to reap without sowing much? The cab drivers are unfortunately presenting a very distorted one-sided story that...

Have you seen how crazy we Zambians have gone over electric cars? Zambians are convinced that we can make some of the components that go into electric cars, mainly batteries and there is a gold rush to mine Lithium in rural areas. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it is a fantasy. Want to know...

So, after all that braggadocio about ending load shedding, the "New Dawn" administration has failed to "fix it" and are doing damage control with lots of egg on their faces. They have been giving endless explanations for their failure to fix load shedding. Among the explanations, acts of God, it's the fault of PF, missing...

The government is making some rather laughable statements that the current load shedding which officially began on 15th December 2022 is beyond their control and an act of God. Well, God does not control the human made systems that allow electricity to flow into our homes and businesses. Perhaps what they mean is that the...

Dear News Diggers Editor, The article in your esteemed publication entitled "Screw the Death Penalty" by David Julian Wightman on the 3rd of May 2017 cannot pass without comment as it has very poor arguments that I shall rebut with direct quotations from the author. "... capital punishment has no place in any society that...

Vodafone have gone down the path of most Zambian companies providing data services in failing to maintain the high standards they set. Their service is now rather annoying, for a company dedicated to providing data only services to a small market such as Zambia with limited Internet penetration.

In the early days of the Cellphone industry, there was a practice by the mobile phone providers that whenever you bought talk time, it would expire after a designated number of days. It used to be very infuriating to say the least.
