THE BOOING vs THE CATWALK (Tom and Jerry)
Two incidents over the last few days made screaming news and here is my personal perspective of each:
1. The alleged booing of the Republican President at a sports event in Lusaka is a bitter but timely reminder that the expectations of the citizens in the ‘new dawn’ era in relation to the campaign promises specifically on the cost of mealie meal and the competitiveness of the Kwacha against other major convertible currencies have not been met. The masses are getting more and frustrated as they grapple with the high cost of fuel and energy with the basic necessity cost for a family of four hitting K10,000 per month.
It was at Independence Stadium where Kenneth Kaunda was booed and pelted with orange peels following the high cost of mealie meal in the early 90’s before losing power to former Trade Unionist FTJ Chiluba. But that was after 27 years of governing.
For the UPND, the booing has unfortunately started too early and is cause for HH and his team to put in double shift for half the salary in order to meet the expectations of an ordinary Zambian citizen who does not understand what debt restructuring is. It is that citizen who is saying “aba beve bakangiwa” who must be convinced that it’s still “Bally will fix it” because as it stands its “Bally will fix you”.
2. ECL’s ‘walk of freedom’ is indeed a sign of Zambia’s growing democracy and a great difference from Lungu’s tenure where opposition leaders were never accorded the freedoms the former President is enjoying. If it’s window shopping, it is well but if it’s with the hope of returning to power then unfortunately that was a walk of shame.
Lungu is at the very helm of the people who grounded the country to where it is today. How can the guy who bewitched you be the one to provide the medication for you. Yes the cost of living under UPND is very, very bad but that will never cleanse ECL’s terrible militia rule of terror and kleptocracy.
The man had all the opportunities to stand on the side of the majority of Zambians who loved him despite having no vision for Zambia but he chose to abuse his authority and diluted the dignity of the youth by creating a political animal which eventually failed to beat the will of the people who said Zambia deserves better.

Poor finishing!
One day one of my colleagues a great Man of God was involved in a road accident and when the Police officers reached the accident spot, they asked the victims that they go with them to the hospital but the said all of them that they were okay but the police insisted and said, no we have to because even if you look okay but you wouldn’t know may be you have internal injuries but they said no they were okay.
Some months latter he stated complaining of headache but whenever he goes to the hospital he was just given some pain killers until the situation started getting worse. One day he couldnt even manage to wear clothes, some parts of the body just started collapsing until he was rushed to UTH where the Dr who immediately attended to him asked the wife to sign for his urgent operation and this otherwise the situation was 50/50. He was taken to theatre and came back after five hours. He had a clot in the brain. When we visited him at his hospital bed he stated narrating the story and even asking us if we have ever died, this was a very fun question but very real to him because there’s no one who have ever died who will know that he or she has died and he started explaining the whole issue. His operation also made the doctors to confess and believe that it is only God who can heal and save a human being.
Now what am I trying to say. I am looking at how these vultures the whole bunch of PF criminals and agents of the devil how they have mobilized to bring confusion in the minds of people in certain parts of the Country through unnecessarily issues just because the man at Plot One in the name of Hakainde Hichilema is one person they hate to the core. These people created alot of problems in this country while in power which HH is fixing and correcting without unnecessarily talking about them always but they think they are champions using ignorance of some of our citizens and think they are the best. This is a very shameful thing I cry for mother Zambia but the good news is that whatever they will do using stollen money just because of some hardships that people are going through such as the high cost of living, load shedding, and now they create another issue but the fact and truth of the matter is – be it Boeing or not boeing – and whatever they will doby the likes of Emmanuel mwamba who was even FTJs Chilubaz person even at the time of FTJs death he was in the story, Nakacinda, Kalaba, Mmembe, mundubile, kafwaya, kapyongoz Munir Zulu and the tboy who attacked the police and threatened the police at central police on lusakaJJ banda, all these will not go anywhere HH will always remain the shining light of the Almighty God to lead this nation to prosperity and peace.
I just can’t understand how the demons in these people are fighting for -but as long as the Lord of Isaac and Jacob is on the thrown the pair of Mama Nalumango and HH is under the cover leadership of the Lord Jesus Christ and are greatly fixing the mess that these crooks left by making tough decisions that will only be made by real leaders who knows how to manage situations even if it means hating them but the end is marvelous.
My prayer is just to that poor woman who have a child to make an effort of making sure that her child goes to school to earn a future leaving through education. My prayer is just to that graduate who just graduated and those who have been who graduated
sometime back but bali ku wire during these crooks rein to believe in God for an opportunity for employment either in public service or private sector, it is coming. My prayer is for that youth out there who has not done well at school to earn some skills training through CDF so that they can stand on their own than being involved in stealing or being used by thieves and criminals to scandalise people. My prayer is for that family to live in peace with one another/ their neighbours despite coming from different regions or tribes because we are one Zambia one Nation and one people. My prayer is for that person to respect one another because love is supreme in everything.
My prayer is for everyone to be involved in meaningful ventures than to be lazy and expect free things to come their way
not to be lazy, because edge will catch up with you and you will not be in a position of being youthful and fend for yourself because all these crooks will not be there for you very soon they will disappear.
So whether you boo HH and love the murderers because of silver it won’t matter and he won’t say anything to you he is a gentleman and very focused eyes always on the balll just like what happened to our shipolopolo girls in Mortoco where they hammered Mortoco 2-0 that iOS the kind of approach man we have in HH is. You see the same even in Parliament whenever crooks will do alot bad things but the Vice- President like the President is always cool and at piece and answers questions with honour and respect. That is the pair.
My Almighty King the Lord Jesus Christ was hated by many and crucified but He is still in charge. While the devil is in trouble just waiting for his judgement.
Peter 4:12-19 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)
But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.
Wether you insult or whatever you do for someone who is doing the right thing it does not pain. But just give glory to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Lungu still feels is the ruling president. Yes you all lough at HH ati nafilwa. I tell you time is running fast and I have not seen an opposition party to side or fight HH by 2026.
Keep on mentioning of the big opposition being the people of Zambia. All Zambians vote in through an opposition party. We all know that all the thieves, who were dancing in money previously, have gone broke because their dollar accounts with a lot of dollars and millions of kwacha have been frozen by ACC and DEC.
Which ever way you look at it, Zambian’s Are not happy about the cost of living and that is a fact that UPND must work on, praise singer or not, facts are facts. This issue alone has removed presidents before, and it is capable of removing presidents now and in future. What praise singers which l am part of need to understand is that those in government do not feel the pinch, even if the prices of mealie meal quadrupled, the information minister and his team will continue being shocked if you complain because he does not feel it. So you are left at Gods mercy under UPND, you will even be given alternatives like sweet potatoes, cassava or to stop giving birth
Two failures I see and Zambians have placed their hope in the Two, one President of Junkies and one President of Sleeping Cows (Ngombe ilede)!
Are there no other sane Zambians we can choose to lead than recycling failures?
The other one is not even eligible for re-election!
No one should be allowed to rule for more than 10 years!
It will be unconstitutional!
No wamuyayas please!
