Costly experiment. They're literally all over the place. It doesn't even feel like there's an actual direction with proper leadership

- increase of fuel
- insane load shedding
- cost of living crisis
- redundancies and job cuts
- closure of businesses
- increased unemployment
- increased crime
- poor forex.

This regime has failed. I can’t point to a single thing that’s going right at the moment.

Now why are the Malawian labourers who were sent to Israel escaping the farms which were supposed to be a safe and lucrative opportunity for them?

I am looking forward to moderating a distinguished panel of discusaants at the launch of Sishuwa Sishuwa’s book: a political history of Zambia that cuts across time periods and discusses the country’s political changes through the life of Michael Sata and others.

Zambia is even small. How have successive administrations failed to govern such a small country sure? Just a bit of common sense would fix things.

Maybe I have issues, but I can’t help notice how low key KKs 100 years anniversary has gone by. I was expecting something grand and historic — or maybe grand stuff happened I wasn’t just invited.

Our volume address critical questions in welfare with incisive case studies.

'Opposition parties in Africa don’t usually win elections because governments play by the rules, but because they secure enough votes to make it unfeasible to manipulate the outcome,' writes Nic Cheeseman theafricareport.com/346149/opinion…

The idea of a University in Lusaka started in the early 1950s then abandoned in 1953 with the birth of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. In 1963 a Commission recommended a University in Lusaka. In 1965 the University of Zambia was established and opened on 12 July 1966.

All things considered, the UPND is a failed experiment.

Happy 100th birthday to Kenneth Kaunda — a great Zambian, a great Pan-Africanist and a great human being!

Here he is speaking in 1986 at the memorial service of Samora Machel.

31 years ago. Gallant men and friends #Chipolopolo Your missed today and everyday. Our love & memory of you shall never pass. #Zambia 🇿🇲. Rest in eternal peace 🙏🏾

The truth is that it is impossible to talk about #Zambia ’s Kaunda without timelines or eras. He defies a general description or linear presentation. He was, at different times, many things good or many things bad about people. In the end, he is, like the rest of us, simply human.

Friday was well spent with 🇬🇧 High Commissioner to 🇿🇲. Discussing int’l diplomacy, the Commonwealth, 🇬🇧 Visas 😊, TOEFLS, 8NDP, Democracy in 🇬🇧 & 🇿🇲, including Dr Sishuwa Sishuwa’s upcoming book launch. Also how Mr. Woolley accidentally featured in a Zuba TV show episode 😂. #Zambia

From my recent discussions in Stellenbosch with its author Sishuwa Sishuwa, the book sounds like it'll be a fascinating and educational read. UKinZambia looks forward to attending the 5 July launch in Lusaka.

Really looking forward to reading this! Lusaka launch date 5 July.
