WORKING HARD IS THE ONLY WAY OUT OF CHALLENGES – HH AT KAPASA MAKASA UNIVERSITY IN CHINSALI
He writes…
There is only one way out of the challenges we are facing as individuals, family, and nation, and that is working hard.
In our quest to ensure equity, as government, we will ensure that education continues to be accessed freely because this is the best investment and best equaliser.
Work, work, and more work are the only way forward and not tantameni. This is time to work, and we call on every youth out there to continue working hard and putting in your best in everything you do.
This was our message when we visited students at Kapasa Makasa University in Chinsali a short while ago.
The students made a submission that they needed social amenities to support their education.
With my wife and First Lady Mutinta Hichilema, and indeed the Hichilema family, we will provide a bus, ambulance, and industrial borehole for the university.
While this will be implemented, we have also directed responsible government departments to provide more services to the institution and urged them to take advantage of CDF to address some of the issues posing as a challenge to students welfare.
This is time for Zambia to work, and indeed, let’s all get involved and get it solved.
May God bless all the students and pupils in our country.
Hakainde Hichilema
President of the Republic of Zambia.
He has burned us with this challenge of high cost of living. It was not this bad when he assumed office on the back of promising us that he would vastly improve cost of living.
Now he is telling us to just work hard and stop complaining.
Let him continue insulting the voters.
Ukucenjelesha kwati cimbwi.
Vote wisely in 2026.
Surely does this man, Mr. Hichilema know that people are sleeping on empty stomachs, so how does he expect hungry people to work hard? And this idea of him as president donating ambulance, bore-hole and other things to public institutions, implies that the government has failed to provide, because as a government they are not working hard! And he’s busy telling hungry citizens to work hard when him and his government are not working, as evidenced by his government’s failure to provide amenities to public institutions! Failure by any government to provide for it’s people means a failed government! Period!
The economy is really biting but the worst affected are the consumers who are not participating in some form of food production for their immediate needs.
Some of us don’t know what ZNS Mealie Meal tastes like because we ALWAYS have our own harvest from our irrigation backed farming!
What the president is saying is we have too many mouths waiting for Boma to feed them! That unfortunately is not part of government job description!
During the 1991 transition from UNIP to MMD, Mealie Meal prices shot up from K50 to K250 Kwacha. The only ones who complained bitterly were those in town. Us who have always produced our own food did not feel any impact!
The Tragedy today is that the majority of our population is loitering in the cities and engaging in menial forms of self-sustenance.
Each time I visit Soweto market, I get inspired by rural farmers bringing their food merchandise for sale and going back with bundles of cash. That’s how rewarding farming is. What these farmers are selling is always the excess from their farms.
Why not become part of the fun instead of always complaining?
Trust me, no government will put food in your mouth and if you read your Bibles well, you should know that the world is headed for tough times!
It doesn’t matter whether you vote for UKA, SP or whichever party in 2026, if you don’t produce what you eat, you are headed for more complaints and stress!
The only Job the creator gave us was FARMING!
Dispise farming at your own risk!
Have you not noticed how we all retire into farming regardless of our professions?
Why not start early and gain valuable experience and insights?
In life, there is nothing for nothing!
We must not miss PF days where they were splashing stolen money to deceive the lazy masses!
The high cost biting Economy we are faced with today is the consequence of the PF mass borrowing and plunder of was was borrowed, with very little left to show for it.
If half of the money these guys stole could be put to good use, we wouldn’t be hearing of such things as loadshedding!
We have a big hole PF dug us in and we must heed the president’s call for hard and smart work!
