HH must take Dr. Sishuwa Mental Advice Seriously—ECL
29.06.24
President Hichilema must seriously consider seeking mental help as suggested by renowned Zambian academician Dr. Sishuwa Sishuwa in a widely publicised essay says sixth President Edgar Lungu.
“It may appear according to Dr. Sishuwa that not just President Hichilema needs a psychiatry evaluation but perhaps most of his cabinet members may need help,” President Lungu said on his widely followed Facebook page.
Former President Lungu was reacting to the most recent accusation of apparent ´total government policy failure´ to deliver affordable food and prolonged power shortages in Zambia by vice President Mutale Nalumango who now blames everything on President Lungu´s previous administration.
She says even aliens can state for a fact that everything gone wrong in Zambia is Lungu´s fault.
“At this stage perhaps, it is time as Dr. Sishuwa says for us to not ridicule the President (HH) regarding these constant lapses but feel pity for him because clearly things are not well,” said Dr. Lungu.
In an insightful post on X formerly known as Twitter, Dr. Sishuwa who teaches political science at Stellenbosch University in South Africa said examples abound on Mr. Hichilema´s possible mental inconsistencies.
One of the examples Dr. Sishuwa referred to is President Hichilema´s decision to blame the current crippling hunger and load shedding in Zambia on God or ´biblical´.
“Given that he (HH) seemed genuinely serious when saying this (Biblical) , Hichilema’s response suggests one of two possibilities,” said Dr. Sishuwa.
“The first is that Hichilema may have lost his marbles – the implication of which is the need to take mental health seriously,” Dr. Sishuwa said, “including when it manifests its symptoms in public leaders whom we often think are immune from such illnesses.”
Dr. Lungu said Zambians need to take Dr. Sishuwa seriously as he suggests that “We may be dealing with a president (HH) who needs help, not ridicule.”
Dr. Sishuwa adds that, “a careful examination of some of his (HH) recent public speeches reveals a worrying series of irrational and uncoordinated statements.”
The academician and author said, “even at the same presser, Hichilema accused himself of “working hard” at a time when the country is sinking with major crises. This includes crippling power outages lasting as long as 20 consecutive hours a day.”
Dr. Sishuwa concludes that, “the only conclusive way we can rule out the possibility that Hichilema has lost his marbles is to subject him to a psychiatric evaluation that will establish if he is mentally sound and simply remarkably out of touch.”
Up to six million Zambians face starvation after President Hichilema´s government sold all emergency reserve staple maize abroad as the country also faces country wide electricity black outs that have killed the poultry and other industry as the country exports power abroad.
President Hichilema attributes the spectacular failures of high food prices and power black outs to God saying “It´s biblical´ or Edgar Lungu´s fault.

Always provocative!
Lungu is just disgusting, to say the least.
How did he even become the republican president with the kaponya mentality?
Zambians, think twice. This is not a person who can be at the helm of a country
Exactly!
The only former President who behaves like this in the whole world.
Aba bamudala should just shut up mwe!!
He is not leader material.
So basic!!
What advice can our beloved President take from a useless Sishuwa Sishuwa. Does he even know what mental illness is?
Just look at that picture of lungu, looks just like a baboon.
CHIKALA
I am in no doubt who needs an urgent mental check up, no rocket science required!!
We all know who that is. It is not rocket science.
Kikikikikiki Am almost choking from laughing.
He is a fantastic and favourite to Zambezi region and the remaining provinces even Western province he has failed Hanaka Haleya.
Continue with your wishful thinking and day dreaming, HH is going nowhere. Those who were vowing to retire HH before the 2021 general elections ended up being retired themselves.
Shuwashuwa is just a misguided arsewhore that is still bitter for not being appointed to the job he was courting. Shuwa is a sick and frustrated homosexual, Mmembe’s side chick.
Edgar Lungu, everyone knows he is a failed and useless drunkard former president of our beloved country. A convicted discredited common thief that bankrupted our country. The ka bustard is going nowhere. His thieving wife and children will be going to jail very soon.
Mr ECL,please don’t get carried away in reading Sishuwa writings and start believing that what he writes is truthgul and must excite you so much and you find relief in your presidential come back thoughts.These philosophers starting from Plato to present have have shown their inadequacies in thinking after all they are just human.If you read more about them you will find some degree of madness in them.Dont just read about their works but try to understand them as individual beings.who are they or what are they? You will discover some psychiatric traits in them.Dont follow them too much because you will get lost.You read these books titled THE GREAT POLITICAL THINKERS by William Abenstein professor of politics, Princeton university and THE MASTERS OF SOCIOLOGICAL THOUGHT second edition by Lewis A. Coser State University of New York at Stony Brook.Mr ECL I tell you you will be buffled by the thinking that is in individuals there in.In Sishuwa you must firstly ask yourself “what is his intentions to write such a holow thing” full of blasphemy.And ask yourself on what context did HH say what he said.You ECL I never heard that you ever paid a visit to Queen Elizabeth.In short her majest the Queen never saw the need to invite you.But that doesn’t stop you from being ECL you were not just privileged.And if you had a chance, definitely you were going to talk about it because people are rearly invited at the palace.Only the people who matter to the Kingdom or they are pleased with are invited.It is a place of blitz.There is no leader who wants his people to die of hunger .Why do you want to chock us with political semantics.Some people don’t mean well, any serious person who loves people demonstrates his love practically by either donating to the needy or lobbing for food from those that can render help not just speaking grandiloquently in a soafer while folding legs like a kite enjoying some coffee.It is not good to take advantage of this famine and shouting at those who are trying to help.President Hichilema told the world about the calamity and we have since seen good response from well wishers.Part of the maize from FRA was sold in order to pay farmers for the maize they supplied.When PF was kicked out of office we saw farmers frequenting the banks in need of their money.The government through FRA sold the maize to aliviate the sufferings of the poor farmers.Any thing that happens beyond human control is natural and requires God’s intervention.Famine or drought just comes and we feel it, it doesn’t announce it’s coming we just expirience it.It will go and we shall be well .Psychiatric diagnosis is not done in the way Sishuwa thinks.Thats why some other mentally ill patients are not put in confinement without the concert of a judge from the high court,because some evil people may want them to be perpetually in confinement so that they start plundering their resources.Wishing the President of such is a typical thing of wanting “mupando” for sabotage.Zambians are far above such kind of thinking of Sishuwa and his friends.HH is a man of sobber character full of love for the people of Zambia.Not the people who just think of their bellies.God placed the belly at the front of a person but that doesn’t mean a person should forget about other people ‘sneeds only his own.
