You’re ranking HH 5th best in Africa in a country where people are queuing up for mealie meal – Kafwaya
By Fanny Kalonda(The Mast)
LUNTE PF member of parliament Mutotwe Kafwaya says the debt restructuring deal will just continue to be announced by the UPND government without being actualised.
“For me until I see debt restructured I will always take UPND for what I have known them. They will keep announcing it. This debt restructuring for me is just an announcement,” he said.
And Kafwaya noted that when it comes to development in Lusaka, the only road which continues to be worked on is the one that passes near President Hakainde Hichilema’s personal residence, Community House.
Kafwaya told The Mast in an interview that he laughed off the rating of President Hichilema as the fifth best performing African leader given that people are queuing up for mealie meal.
President Hichilema was named as one of the five best performing African leaders.
An online publication, Business Day, said President Hichilema is the fifth best performing African leader.
Abdel Fattah EL-Sisi of Egypt is ranked first followed by Samia Suluhu Hassan of Tanzania while, Paul Kagame of Rwanda is ranked third.
Wavel Ramkalawan of Seychelles is ranked fourth and President Hichilema fifth.
“I laughed off that ranking. I thought that was just propaganda. You are ranking the President of Zambia as fifth best performing President in the continent of Africa in a country where people are queuing up for mealie meal? In a country where people are buying mealie meal for a 25kg bag between K350 to K600 which was K120, just two years ago! You are ranking, you are giving him that ranking, in a country where a litre of petrol is K30 which was K17 just two years ago? You have to tell me what you are using to rank him like that,” said Kafwaya. “This is the country now where everything literally you are suffering eight hours of load shedding. You have no medicine in hospitals, you have poor quality free education. You have got all development activities lumped into this CDF. You need to give me a break. If you think about what is happening here in Lusaka, even development wise, the only road which continues to be worked on is the road that road which passes near his house. Few days ago, I passed there I found machinery still working, a road which is complete [but] machinery are still working there. You can’t think about a road which goes to Big Ben. You can’t think about roads in Chalala, elsewhere, other than that particular road? You think of roads in Meanwood, in Meanwood Mutumbi or Meanwood Ndeke. Even that small portion in Meanwood Ndeke cannot be connected from airport road to the tarmac that is in the township there to make people travel properly. For me, he is very poorly ranked.”
Infact Hichilema should refuse and say he cannot accept being the 5th best president in Africa because somebody was shot dead in Ndola trying to chance free mealie meal! Because of hunger! So what is best about Hichilema’s rule if people are dying from off shouts of hunger, caused of inability to access Nshima, the staple! In a country where 95% people are starving , surely , can be the best number 5 president. What’s wrong with us Africans kanshi? Everytime you want to ride on lies! Very sad!
Those who rated him are the ones who bought mines for a song. Because we are stupid, we want to believe rubbish. They smoked dagger and started rating their idiots.
Utwakufwaya fwaya ba Fault finder Kafwaya!
Those are not proper checks and balances!
You need to go back to political school to learn what it means to be in opposition!
PF is still in denial and can’t believe they are out of power!
So Kafwaya thinks Zambia is the only country in Southern Africa affected by Drought!
At least people can queue for something! They are not dying of hunger yet!
What we are trying to educate Zambians on is, if you love Nshima, learn to grow your own Maize!
The best way to win political mileage as opposition is not making empty noise but coming up with viable alternatives!
When bread became expensive under PF, someone suggested Kandolo and all hell broke loose!
The truth is Zambians must learn to diversify their diets!
Too much Nshima makes our people dull to other alternative, more nutritious meals.
We are working on a program to teach willing Zambians how to diversify their diets away from Nshima!
Eating Nshima should slowly be discouraged as Maize has undergone too much genetic modification (GMO). If someone wants to wipe out Zambians through food, they can do it successfully using Nshima!
It’s not surprising why we are having too many cases of Diabetes and hypertension these days!
We must look at alternative sources of starch!
One of the key adaptations to climate change is not only in how we produce our food but the urgent need to diversify our food varieties.
We should never become too dependent on one crop to the extent that if there is a major crop failure, then the population is doomed to starve!
We do have programs on how to detox people from Nshima addiction!
Mealie Meal like all white powders can be addictive! It takes a lot of reconditioning for people to begin to vary their diets.
If you you are so addicted to Nshima, we can teach you how to efficiently grow healthy ORGANIC maize on a small piece of land!
Ignore PF political noise.
It’s time to embrace Positive Energy!
