LET LOVE LEAD
05:23HRS i was awakened by a call from a gentleman who introduced himself as Barry from Magoye. He told me he was a youth and a Tonga from Magoye and he spoke so many things and apologised for inconveniencing my sleep .
Barry’s call has indeed disturbed my sleep but was an interesting call. He spoke to me in english and at some point he used Tonga and mixed that with a few Bemba words and the key message in his conversation he kept on telling me “MY BROTHER LET LOVE LEAD” Waumfwa mudala “wamva mudala ” he said in Bemba and Tonga.
Barry simply called me to tell me that we need to let love lead because Barry has observed that there is too much hatred right now especially among us politicians and i want to agree with Barry that the country is not ok ..THERE IS TOO MUCH HATRED AND TENSION..we need to slow down and do the right thing.
I personally want to pledge to help change the narrative ..From this morning i want to try as much as possible to help change the hatred going on especially on social media ..Barry has challenged me that i need to learn Tonga so that the next time he calls me we will only use Tonga and Bemba throughout the conversation.
So officially I’m declaring myself a TRADITIONAL COUSIN OF THE TONGAS OF MAGOYE..i will spend one weekend in Magoye to be hosted by Barry so that i can learn the way of life of the people of Magoye and another day i will take Barry to my province Luapula so the he too can go and learn our ways of life..IF THERE IS ANYONE FROM MAGOYE PLEASE REACH OUT AND TELL ME IF THIS PROPOSAL SOUNDS OK…
FELLOW CITIZENS ,FELLOW POLITICIANS LET BY GONES BE BY GONES ..ASK YOURSELF EVERYTIME YOU SAY OR POST SOMETHING ESPECIALLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA, are you helping reduce the hate or adding fuel to what is going on at the moment???…LET US LET LOVE LEAD….GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Personally, I had a lot of hope in young men like hon. Binwell Mpundu and hon. Christopher Kangombe but of late, I’m afraid they have been a very big disappointment in my opinion looking at their statements of late. I used to see a promising future for our country with these young men but somehow they went off the right track and followed the ways of the old politicians. But I still think there is hope for these two men if only they change their political course.
Binwell Mpundu is young and has a lot of time to build a political brand for himself but not by keeping wrong company. His denunciation of corruption is also not loud and consistent enough.
I personally have no respect for these young politicians that move straight from university, college etc and straight into politics. They don’t know what it means to put bread and butter on the table for a family through sheer
decent, hard work. For them it’s politics (telling lies, pretence, promising to build bridges where there are no rivers) is a shortcut to escape poverty and their lazy privileged upbringing to a luxurious lifestyle through sloganeering and opportunistic alignment to prospective ruling parties. This breed of young men is in each and every political party; ruling and opposition. Baiche tekanyeni. Sunga umukoshi ubulungu tabwayafya (young men be patient, don’t take shortcuts, keep your neck safe and the beads for the necklace will not be hard to find). This opportunistic behaviour manifests itself in their inconsistencies. They change their views like chameleons, not based on principle but day to day political, economic and social dynamics with the sole aim of being in right political grouping at the time of the next elections. These are the young people who are supposed to think 30 to 50 years future for the country and yet they think 2 years or utmost 5 years. If you think for only 2 to 5 years and yet you have 60 years of life ahead of you then you cleared don’t love yourself. How then, can we expect you to love others and your country at large? Read Romans 5:5 and learn from it if you really want to serve God’s people. Amen .
To fellow parents and grandparents. We have lot of work on our hands. We clearly need to bring up better grounded and focussed children and grandchildren. We cannot leave it to school teachers, sunday school, ZNBC TV DSTV and worse still political parties. They have destroyed our women who now only good for singing and dancing at airports and rallies for a packet of shake shake chibuku. Now they are after our children and grandchildren’s destruction
Binwel,every journey starts with one step and eventually you will reach.I hope and trust your good step.You start every body would want to do the same and harmony will prevail.Zambia is a very beautiful country if we exploit what God has given us in terms of resources together as one regardless of which direction one comes from I tell you poverty can be reduced drastically.Spirit of oneness will bring peace and prosperity.BRAVO.
Just imagine on this same platform this so called lawmaker has two contradictory messages now which should his followers follow?.?? Equally I am, but I grew up thinking loss of hair translated into wisdom gain sadly not any more with money as the mojar chase orientation.
That is what a mature mind does. Only ama 7+7 =14 ( fontini) will ague. Bafuzii ngabafula ala balishupa ukwalula
Twamitoteni ba bwana Mpundu Binwel.
