The IMF has assured us that despite President Edgar Lungu’s declared Threatened State of Emergency, the Fund is still committed to reaching an agreement with the Zambian government for the loan deal. But to us, something doesn’t just tie up on this IMF ‘standoff’ which is, quite frankly, becoming a nuisance. We have taken time...

When we say that president Edith Nawakwi of the Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) is turning into a political opportunist, we say it with all the respect she deserves considering the achievements she has made in her political careers. We are alive to the fact that president Nawakwi is among the most experienced politicians...

Mr Edgar Chagwa Lungu, the President of the Republic of Zambia is a perfect example in life that even the most downtrodden, the most ignored by society can one day ascend to power and lead a county of powerful rich people. President Lungu is living testimony that God can allow a common man, a sinner...

Therefore the rest of us, especially those who did not witness the April 8 road rage between Mr Hichilema and Mr Edgar Lungu, President of the Republic of Zambia, must present...

Its leaders are wallowing in exaggerated self esteem and very few of them, if any, appreciate the fact that they are superintending over a democratic nation. Just yesterday, we heard Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo announcing that anyone who does not...
