Expressing admiration for fellow citizens who have embraced self-employment and food cultivation, President Hichilema highlighted the government’s ongoing efforts to create a conducive environment for such initiatives. He urged individuals and the nation as a whole to stay focused on their goals while actively participating in constructive debates that contribute to Zambia’s economic stability.

Hakainde Hichilema writes:
Earlier today, we took time to check on our Mayoba Ranch in Zimba District of Southern Zambia.
We have been on this asset for 27 years now, and we started running it when we were just a young couple with the First Lady, Mutinta Hichilema.
The First Lady also plucked some delicious wild okra (Delele) and we have been enjoying this relish since inception.
Having been on this ranch for 27 years, we came to appreciate the fact that patience, hard work, and more work lead to personal, family, and national development.
We continue being impressed with our fellow citizens who have escalated their desire to venture into self employment, growing food for themselves while as government we continue playing our role of creating a conducive environment for all.
Let’s remain focused as individuals and as a nation, while engaging in health debates that Zambia will surely realise its dream of becoming economically stable. It is one step at a time.
May God bless every hand working hard out there.

He must have acquired these ranches after privatisation. He saw an immoral opportunity to siphon as much as he could to enrich himself silly.
Indigo Tyrol … jealous kwati niba menomeno….. This song of privatisation has been sang without proof no wonder it is a dead issue. You must focus on organizing the PF in stead of petty issues.
