Leading people isn’t easy, I know it – HH

By Thomas Ngala( The Mast)

LEADING people is not easy, I know it, admits President Hakainde Hichilema.

Officiating at the Bene Mukuni traditional ceremony in Kazungula on Saturday, President Hichilema said “bantu balakatazya,” a tonga phrase which translates to people are difficult.

“So we wish our host royal highness good health, continued strength to lead our people. Leading people is not easy. I know it, we know it. It is not easy,” he said. “Bantu balakatazya but we must continue doing what is right in order to make our communities better.”

President Hichilema stressed the need for Zambians to unite.

“We know countries that are going through instability and we know the cost and price of instability. This country should not even think an inch about causing instability within itself. That is a no go area. This is a special year for us. 60 years of independence, truly, it is a special year,” he said.

He lamented that the country is celebrating its 60th independence amid the effects of drought.

President Hichilema said the government is committed to ensuring Zambians are fed during the drought period.

He added that politics should not take precedence “as we work to feed our people.”

He emphasised the need for leaders to collaborate adding that “working together we will make it, no matter how difficult, we will succeed.”

“One of the things that we will and have to do, I think God has opened our eyes, is that we must have energy diversity. We must have irrigation based agriculture and then we will be able to look after our people going forward. Development is something that we must promote at all times, even at ceremonies like these,” he said.

President Hichilema stressed the need to promote tourism.

“This country was loved by God. God gave us so much. Let us be conscious of what God gave us and didn’t give other countries. Let us utilise these resource endowments to benefit the people of Zambia and the region, and Africa, and the globe as a whole,” said President Hichilema. “Just to underscore the importance of unity in our country, and that your government is committed to doing everything possible to every citizen of this great land. I think it is up to the community members to also do their part.”

  1. Uyu is dangerous.

    What countries is he talking about that are going through instability and insecurity? Zimbabwe? Was it necessary to start talking about our neighbours?

    Anyway, I told you from day one that people can not be managed the same way you manage your cows and praise singers.

    Vote wisely in 2026.

    • Indigo Tryol only a bitter PF idiot like you hates peace, love and unity. You must be a PF nincompoomp not to know that just some few weeks ago 50 people died in Kenya coz of idiots like you. In Sudan, Congo DR and CAR people have been displaced due to instability in those nations but you still down play that you PF criminal.We shall vote again wisely for HH in 2026

      • Iwe blind praise singer Bob Mpombo, you are brainwashed.

        What our friends did in Kenya, we should also do here. The Kenyan president has listened and has altered course. I respect him more for that. Our president can never listen to people because he has banned all protests unless it is a protest about Zimbabwe. The Kenyan president is working for his people, not LGBT masters. How dare you even try to compare him to your small impotent god.

        Vote wisely in 2026.

    • No alternative as far as am concerned. This man has done a great job amidst the turmoil left by PF and natural challenges.
      We have our peace and those that are working hard are eating.
      If you expect brown envelopes, sorry. That money is now going to those that really need it: widows, aged, single mothers, ophans, vulnerable etc. If you can’t even take advantage of CDF, it means you just want to be paid for beating and insulting people. That is not this current government’s legacy.
      Don’t say anything when you are under some kind of influence. A lot of people read on this platform, and they will judge you based on what comes out of your mind.

    • We can’t vote for your rotten balls you pig with a small brain and without even a single chicken
      Vote wisely vote for HH7 in 2026/31

  3. Whenever Tongas like Bob open their foul mouths it’s to insult. You time of reckoning is soon coming. I don’t know how you live in Zambia after Upnd is out of power, because you have succeeded in creating from other tribes! Hichilema has never been a leader before that’s why he can lamentably say “leading people is not easy . . “! Infact leading people is the easiest thing one can do in his or her life. You simply have to practice PR, public relations! In that you do not need to have a degree in PR, but you simply put all people under you , first! They should come first in that is happening in the grouping, be it a church group, country, company , family set up etc. But when you are arrogant and selfish , then leading people will not be easy, it becomes very difficult, because people don’t like being trampled upon, people don’t like being left by a selfish person! Period!

  7. Mr. President, they say slavery ended a long time ago but that is theoretically, practically many Zambians still remain economic slaves, just take time and talk to many casual employees in industrial area and if you have a soft at heart, you will shed tears, people are pushed to the last drop of their sweat, while being insulted and their parents are not immune to these insults, and degradation. they are insulted in absentia. these workers take all this in, in order to protect the little that they earn. they cannot report to labor because at labor are stationed employees on the payroll of these slave masters, once you report they report you to your employers saying he is a danger get rid of him. I just wish I was in a position of power so that these vices are curbed off. most investors of foreign origin are slave masters. and they boost that they can do anything because to them money talks.

    • I equally shed tears Bro, more especially workers from Indian companies aaaah its pure slavery. Workers report around 7 and knock off after 17 making them have no chance to do a ka side hustle but at the end of the month they get paid K1200-1600. You will find the person walks from home starting off around 04 . Thanks to the government for free education otherwise these people would have their children not going to school but becoming junkies.
      All in all Indian companies must be visited by a well meaning minister or PS. A zambian from the same company would get K1600 and an Indian the minimum would be K15000 in the same company.
