NO MATTER HOW TALKATIVE THEY MAYBE, BRIAN MUNDUBILE BEATS ALL THE OTHER PF PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS – IS THE BEST ZAMBIA CAN EVER HAVE
I like Brian Mundubile because he knows the pain of suffering, which is why he is so helpful. He has a Big heart that no leader among those we have can beat.
He is also reasonable, he doesn’t talk carelessly, he is uniting other than divisive. He is straightforward, unlike some of these manipulators and crooks. Clearly is best that PF need to change face.
Below is an article I stumbled upon on social media, believed to have been written by Mundubile himself.
“I rarely talk about myself but for the sake of a youth that is struggling let me encourage you to continue working hard and trusting God for both your spiritual, physical, social economic growth.
I started as a young boy from Muombo village of Mporokoso very poor, no shoes, no mattress and food itself was a challenge but I Kept the faith.
Fast forward, I did my school partly at UNZA and ZCAS that was way back, then I started running a company with my friend some 25 years ago. God gave us an opportunity in timber business. We started in Kaoma. From there, we opened a construction company 20 years ago called Build Trust Construction Company. With discipline and hard work, the company grew to employing over 300 workers including whites.
I remember my partner and I going to check on some works in Itezhi Tezhi and the security workers at the site couldn’t let us in because to them we were just simple guys and the company had serious white guys as expert engineers until we called to be ushered in and to their surprise the white people were saluting to us then the boys realised we were the owners.
15 years ago we had contracts to a tune of K2bn. We competed with Chinese firms. Our equipment then was second to none not even AVIC could compete with us. To date, most of the Chinese companies hire equipment from the company where I am now chairman.
We have done so many roads of bituminous standard from Chipata, Sinda, Northern, Lusaka, Western Province even the recent Lusaka Zambezi Road and Katimamulilo roads very competitive bids against the Chinese that my company has managed to do. But, of course, you will never see me there because I am focusing on serving you the beautiful people of our country.
I have never bought a single car for myself from the time I became MP, never. I never came without shoes into politics, I spend more on politics than the salary I get as an MP, you can check around if you so wish.
My point is, it’s possible to be a successful business man when you are focused, forget about what people say, be focused and be disciplined, read and expand your knowledge base to improve on quality delivery. I never stay without pursuing some course, that’s how I did my law to Masters, passed Ziale and am still studying different courses despite my busy schedule.
So to government, give opportunities to the youths and create a conducive environment for everyone of the youths, give them licences to do mining in Luapula and other areas not blocking youths from the Sujilite mineral recently found in Mansa. Please let’s not be selfish. Let Zambians be in charge of their God given wealth. They, too, can be rich and employ anyone. The opportunity we had, was construction then but now it’s no longer as attractive as it was hence the need to focus on what is “trending” in business.
You can make it, it’s motivation for you. Sometimes I laugh when people talk about things they don’t know and the danger is most youths instead of getting motivated tend to call everyone a thief and corrupt because of a few corrupt people including some politicians. I bought my first GX cars way back before MPs started using them.
The point is, you the youths should learn from some people not just Mundubile but many others .
God uplift your soul, may you find grace to excel. Enjoy your Sunday!”
