    Understanding the manoeuvres to remove the DPP from office

    Despite the security of tenure provided to the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), nearly every new president of Zambia ousts the DPP they find in office and installs their own to help them deal with their political opponents and cover their own crimes. This is the main motivation behind the latest campaign...

    The good, the bad and the alarming: Hichilema’s first 100 days in Zambia

    Now that he has died, he lives forever: Remembering Simon Zukas

    In April 1952, a 26-year old man stood before the Northern Rhodesia Chief Justice, who had been asked by the Attorney General to consider whether this young man was ‘a danger to peace and good order’ and whether he had been ‘inciting Africans against Europeans’. The judge was further asked to consider whether he found...

    Should Zambia’s new president fire all his predecessor’s appointees?

    The last few days have seen mounting calls from many Zambians for President Hakainde Hichilema to dismiss senior civil servants appointed by his predecessor. Those behind these calls argue that such officials cannot be relied upon to implement the new president’s vision because they were either complicit in the worst excesses of the previous administration...

    This is why Zambia may burn after the August election

    If Zambia descends into large-scale political unrest after the 12 August 2021 general election, there are three major factors that would have driven the country to that outcome.

    Andrew Sardanis gave his life to Zambia, and Zambia its soul to him

    Because of our close friendship, Andrew Sardanis many times asked me to speak at his funeral. I always gave the same response: that I would do so provided the need to do so was delayed as long as possible. On 28 February 2021, 13 days before what would have been his 90th birthday, Danae, his...

    I respect and appreciate Linda Kasonde, but she messed up big time. Here is why.

    In response to my column, ‘Class of 2020: Zambians who gravely disappointed last year’, the board of Chapter One Foundation took issue with my inclusion and criticism of the actions of its executive director, Linda Kasonde. In an article dated 28 January 2021 and signed by Sara Longwe, the board chairperson, the advocacy organisation exercised...

    Class of 2020: Zambians who gravely disappointed last year – Part III

    Minister of Home Affairs Stephen Kampyongo Stephen Kampyongo is a kind of person Adolf Hitler would have loved to have been in charge of his police – someone who will willfully torture themselves to advance what they believe are the interests of the Fuehrer because they cannot countenance any life with real economic opportunities outside...
