A LETTER TO A PF COMMANDER
————————————
Dear Maxwell Chongu,
I thank God who through previous leaders accorded you a chance to pass through a classroom to learn how to at least read and write some legible stuff. Others like Innocent Kalimanshi were not as lucky, which is why the closest thing to education is bleaching his body, including his pendulous testosterone factories. This is possibly because of an INHERITED belief that English is a white man’s language, and being white magically transforms Bemba into pure English. Your fellow commander goes a step further to acquiring his education by claiming to be an Amelikan.
Please Max, I hope you are aware that Eddie Gowa, aka America 1, is not any different. His infamous chant of AKAWAWAWA is most likely derived from the phrase “A CALL TO WAR, WAR, WAR”. What else could that gibberish mean? CHACHACHA was about a new dawn which unfortunately set with our Kwacha.
You will agree with me that in the school that you attended, there was no single subject on violence. In fact, if you care to look closely among your leaders, you will notice that there is a relationship between educational levels and the belief that violence is a good weapon for imposing some stup!d will over law-abiding citizens. It was not by chance that Jay Jay invaded a police station. Ask him to send you his grade twelve certificate if you are not sure.
You should be grateful that the crafters of our constitution set the ability to read, even without understanding what you read, as a bare minimum for one to qualify to make laws in parliament. This makes it possible for you, like Bowman, to aspire for higher offices. I hope you now understand why men and women without full grade twelve certificates passed laws that later disqualified them.
The truth however, is that even a full grade twelve certificate like the one Jay Jay has only allows one to read without understanding what is read. That is how uncle Freedom can try to deny the people of Mpulungu freedom to campaign freely. That witchdoctor only understands ‘palibe kantu’ and other charms that make very educated judges lose their legal bearings in courts that are expected to be the soul of our democracy. He can possibly read but understanding thelizno.
It is pity that smart but twisted members of your party have exploited the cowardice in an excuse of a president to deprive deserving citizens of opportunities to help grow our economy through fair business. Max, the road drains that have made your already big head even bigger should have been done by respected contractors that know how to make basic concrete. That work should have been done by citizens that understand that concrete is not just a mixture of stones, sand, cement and water in any proportions.
Smart but twisted twits like Francis Muchemwa have been rewarded with trucks for doing nothing but bothering travelers at Intercity bus station through organizing energetic youths into an effective burden on travelers.
I hope you understand that our security men all require a discernible secondary school education. That is because being in the police or the military does not only require ability to read but the ability to understand what is read. Policing citizens requires an understanding of rights of those you serve and those of the enemy. Your youths know nothing of that sort and that is why they should not be on our streets pretending to keep peace.
Zambians are tired of this mediocrity that moves precious resources from councils with educated people who can offer appreciable services to communities into the hands of cadres who should have been employed by the same councils to improve our communities.
Your stup!d soldiers are only captured as unemployed youths by Zambia Statistics Agency even when they are collectively richer than our city councils. When we say we want change we mean just that.
There is a reason why security personnel generally live in camps or barracks, and if you want to discover why, just keep on pretending to be a security force. You and your fellow commanders live among us and you can be picked one by one until your entire group is behind bars, waiting patiently for two week holidays promised by a fellow lawless man. The Zambia police proved that point when Kanganja, an IG who only acts when he is threatened by a lawless boss, moved his brave men to pick those that showed Kalimanshi that he is as vulnerable as the rest of us when it comes to violence.
MWICHINDIKE BA MAX, ZAMBIANS THAT LIVE AROUND YOU WANT CHANGE, AND IF THAT MEANS DEALING WITH LAWBREAKERS LIKE YOU THEY WILL DO IT.
We love you as our brother and we expect you to smell the coffee that is brewing, because if you don’t, MUKAFWA KUMAKOFI BA SWAINI.
PB….always in national interest
