In the darkest nights, we find our brightest stars.
When shadows fall, we rise, like the Zambian dawn.
Naysayers will whisper doubt, but we march on,
Fuelled by resilience, our spirit unbroken.

A fight for Zambia's tomorrow, a brighter flame.
The past may weigh, but our will is strong,
Together we'll rise, and right the wrong.

Through trials and tests, the Zambian heart is bent.
Keep pushing forward, Mr. President
We stand united.
We'll overcome, and chart a brighter score.

Some work environments don’t just employ you, they strip you, rewire you, and spit you out as a domesticated shell of who you were supposed to become. MINING. EDUCATION. HEALTH. MILITARY & POLICE. These aren’t just careers; they’re psychological traps disguised as livelihoods.

1. MINING…. the kingdom of controlled minds. Total buffoonery.

We should stop pretending, the mine is not good work environment. It’s a comfortable slaughterhouse of ambition.

You walk in believing you’ll work, earn, build, and rise,
but the environment grips your mind like a fist.
Soon, your world shrinks to shift changes, allowances, overtime, and petty gossip. You find yourself trapped in routines that reward shallow thinking over intellectual struggle. And the cruel part? It happens slowly.

The damage comes when, DEEP thinking dies there. Vision dies here. Dreams suffocate quietly under fluorescent lights and underground noise or shaft operations.

People in the mine become predictable because the system trains them to stop imagining anything beyond the gates. And here’s the brutal truth: By the time you wake up to what the mine has done to your mind, your youth is gone, your dreams are gone, and the place has already engraved its identity into your bones.

2. EDUCATION….the cemetery of unfulfilled potential

If mining kills your vision, education buries your spirit.
The system is ancient, unbending, and proudly allergic to modern thinking. You enter as a dreamer. You remain as a survivor. Because this is where ambition goes to starve.

Teachers are expected to sacrifice everything, their time, their mental health, their financial stability, while pretending that “passion” will pay their bills and build their future.

The environment is so rigid it breaks people quietly.
It trains educators to shrink their dreams and behave in ways that are less about principle and more about survival. Want more for yourself? The system will shame you. Step out of line? It will punish you.

Education doesn’t just limit growth. It celebrates the limitation.

3. HEALTH….the slow, heroic self-destruction. Kukosa umu mwena.

In the health sector, especially on the front lines, your life stops belonging to you. Your identity dissolves into duty. Your time belongs to emergencies. Your energy is swallowed by patients.

The system loves your sacrifice, but it does nothing to protect your future.

Growth becomes a forbidden luxury. Your personal dreams fade because you’re too tired to chase them. The uniform becomes your personality. Your exhaustion becomes your normal. Your burnout becomes your identity.

And the hardest truth? Most people in health don’t even realize they’re disappearing until they’ve fully vanished.

In short,
Mining numbs you. Education shrinks you. Health drains you.

And if you enter any of these worlds without a life bigger than the job, you won’t just lose time, you will lose yourself.

I wish I could add the Police Service & Military, time che.

Chishimba Kambwili, detained since June 14, will, on the day of his release, have spent 132 grueling days behind bars. That’s slightly more than Hakainde Hichilema’s 128 days, which the current president endured under non-bailable treason charges.

But make no mistake, Kambwili’s imprisonment is not about speaking truth to power. He was fairly sentenced for using words that ridiculed, demeaned, and sowed contempt against others based on tribe or place of origin. His offense could have warranted a far harsher penalty. He paid the price. He will, no doubt, regret having wielded language that maimed. Let this serve as a stark warning: in Zambia, no one is above the consequences of offensive, divisive speech.

Even so, Kambwili now joins a list of Zambians who have borne the weight of detention:
• Kenneth Kaunda (KK): 61 days, Zambia’s first republican president, jailed for treason during a politically charged era
• Hakainde Hichilema (HH): 128 days, imprisoned on treason charges and released with a nolle.
• Chishimba Kambwili: 132 days, detained for the words he chose

The contrast is striking. Kaunda and Hichilema were jailed for political reasons and were never convicted. Kambwili, however, was held accountable for his own actions.

This is Zambia’s lesson in action, words have weight. They can wound. They can harm. And justice will exact a price. If you mock, ridicule, or show contempt for others based on tribe or origin, expect the law to come calling. Kambwili’s experience is a warning, one we cannot afford to ignore.

To: His Excellency President Hakainde Hichilema, UPND Party President, and Mr. Obvious Mwaliteta, Lusaka Province Committee Chairman

Your Excellency, Mr. Chairman, and the entire UPND Family,

We write to you today not just as observers, but as citizens who are deeply impressed by the powerful example of political maturity and exemplary organization displayed at your Lusaka Province meeting held at Mulungushi Conference Centre.

The conduct of the event was a masterclass in civil and orderly politics. Notably, the fact that the meeting concluded without any disruption to public order—no mysterious road closures, no cacophony of noise, and no adverse incidents—speaks volumes. It was a gathering so disciplined that were it not for media coverage, one might not have known a significant political event was taking place. This is the hallmark of a focused and respectful organization.

This stands in stark contrast to the political culture of chaos, public brawls, and intimidation that Zambians have unfortunately become accustomed to from other quarters. Your successful event underscores a vital truth: true power in politics is not demonstrated through noise and muscle-flexing, but through discipline, unity, and a steadfast commitment to ideology.

We particularly commend you, Your Excellency, for your leadership which has held the UPND together, intact and focused, for decades—through long years in opposition and now into governance. This internal cohesion is your party's greatest strength and a monumental lesson for all political actors.

To the UPND grassroots and leadership at all levels, we say, continue on this path. You are setting a new, welcome standard for political engagement in Zambia.

To the opposition parties, we offer this advice: there is a critical lesson to be learned here. The UPND has demonstrated that you can challenge and compete not with insults and fragmentation, but with ideas, intellect, and impeccable organization. It is time to take notes.

Once again, we extend our heartfelt commendation to the entire UPND family. Please, continue to lead by example.

Sincerely,

A Concerned and Hopeful Citizen

THE NDOLA-KITWE DUAL CARRIAGE WAY.

It's less than 10 years old, and already showing signs of dilapidation. It's mind-boggling how a road constructed with hefty loans, secured by our leaders, can deteriorate so rapidly. The quality of workmanship and materials seems to be a major concern.

Why can't we insist on accountability? Why can't our government include clauses in contracts that require contractors to redo subpar work or guarantee their projects for a reasonable period?

It's heartbreaking to see PF making claims about development when the work they did was subpar. We're the ones who are paying off these loans for years to come. The Ndola-Kitwe dual carriageway is an upcoming death-trap, it's already in a terrible state, barely 10 years old! It's a ticking time bomb, waiting to claim lives. When will our leaders take responsibility and ensure quality work? The people of Zambia deserve better.

So, what truly drives some parliamentary aspirants to already crown themselves with the title “Honorable”?Why this despe...

So, what truly drives some parliamentary aspirants to already crown themselves with the title “Honorable”?
Why this desperate rush for recognition before even earning the people’s trust? Why can’t we, for once, let the title follow the election victory and service, not the ambition? Be called by your name until your actions and election results demand honor!

Just as enrolling for a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) doesn’t automatically make you a Doctor, contesting for office doesn’t make you honorable. You must earn that title, through character, through integrity, through genuine service to the people.

And this is where my frustration lies, this so-called youth movement that’s supposed to be a beacon of change is fast turning into a mirror image of the very system it claims to fight. It’s not rooted in principle, but in pretense. It’s not about leadership, it’s about self-promotion, deceit, and ambition disguised as revolution.

We are not championing transformation, we are marketing excitement. Trading passion for purpose. Mimicking the same rotten politics we vowed to end.

If we truly desire change, let’s embody it. Let’s drive reasoned, purposeful politics, not shallow theatrics. Only then will we be any different from those we accuse of corruption and hypocrisy.

Change is not a hashtag. It’s a discipline. A duty. A daily choice to be better. Noti ifi naimwe.

THE BITTER TRUTH ABOUT UPND & President HH —in all honesty:

Ngolefwaya isa tubeche….i swear!

HH did not stumble into power, he mastered his way there. While many, especially his predecessor, dismissed him as a political lightweight, the man was quietly evolving into a strategic giant. Every slight, every insult, every underestimation only sharpened his resolve. By the time the nation woke up, Hakainde Hichilema was no longer the underdog, he was the storm.

Yes, the 2021 elections went the UPND’s way, many claim it was a protest vote against PF’s corruption, arrogance, and violence. But that’s only half the story. The truth is, HH had become too powerful to ignore, a political force that had matured into dominance, not just in Zambia, but across the region.

And his brilliance didn’t end with victory, it only intensified. Today, the PF stands shattered, disoriented, and leaderless, not by accident, but by design. HH’s political chess is unmatched. Those who once laughed now whisper his name with caution. Never underestimate HH’s politics again.

He has dismantled the opposition so thoroughly that Zambia now asks, is there even an opposition left? HH goes into the next election not as a contestant, but as a reigning force, calm, calculated, and unchallenged. He won the next election before the campaign even began.

The PF? They’ll never recover as long as HH sits in State House. He warned them, after enduring two decades of political struggle, did they really think he’d hand back power easily? With the kind of disorganized politics championed by the likes of Sean Tembo, Chabinga, Miles Sampa, Nakachinda and others, they don’t stand a chance.

You people play too much. Power isn’t given, it’s taken, and HH took it with precision, patience, and purpose. Forget about winning any election soon, the man has already sealed the battlefield. You think you will win an election with press briefings…Cam’on, you guys really can joke.
