Violently disturbing the livelihoods and businesses of our street vendors and booth traders in order to create the false impression that our capital city, Lusaka, is everywhere clean and orderly, to the African Union (AU) delegates is a most sure way of fuelling hostility, especially among our young people who are the majority of street...

Will the UPND government answer the cries of the majority of Zambians who are hungry and poor, in the 2023 Budget and adequately address their cries about hunger, rent and the escalating cost of living? These Zambians, after all, voted the Patriotic Front (PF) out of government to have these human needs addressed, urgently. The...

Someone, or a group of people somewhere, are piercing our Zambian hearts with a hot iron and are spoiling our enjoyment of the beautiful African women football game: by their actions or inaction, they have connived to deprive us of our talented, skilled and brilliant Zambian women football players at the ongoing Women’s Africa Cup...

Summary: It is impossible to talk about Kenneth Kaunda without timelines. He defies a general or linear description. He was, at different times, many things good or many things bad about people.

Running a...

It is wrong and a denial of objective reality not to appreciate some of the good things happening under the government of the UPND, led by Hakainde Hichilema. Doing so is both demoralising and a negation of our own capacity to deal with bad things: we Zambians who voted in August 2021 overwhelmingly rejected all...

BEFORE I got married, I lived near a beautiful lady who was divorced. It never occurred to me that a good looking woman like her could be dumped by any man.Later on I started to assume thatmaybe thelady was divorced because of marital misconduct, or perhaps she left her husband because he was a womanizer...

In this week’s Monday opinion, we look at the role that trade and investments play in Zambia’s economy. Government has come under attack from some sectors of society over the trips made by the Head of State in the recent past, where President Hakainde Hichilema has visited a number of countries in and outside Africa,...

IT HAS often been said that women are more supportive to their parents than men. That’s where I draw the screaming headline for today.
