Access to Information Bill: is this the start of New Dawn summersaults?

  By Nicholas Bwalya It is 20 years since proponents of the Access to Information (ATI) Bill begun their advocacy to have this important law enacted. Governments have come and gone, MMD and PF regimes all leaving the Bill to gather dust on the shelves of the Ministry of Information.   The PF government was even more daring than the MMD because in its manifesto of 2011 to 2016, the party pledged to enact the Bill into law. But as they say the rest is history. In a country that is among the top of the Corruption Perception Index, enacting...

‘We Need a New Crop of Leaders,’ pleads Isaac Able Mwaipopo

  By Isaac Able Mwaipopo Our country needs a new crop of leaders, it needs people who can envision and plan how Zambia can look like in the next 50 years, they need to be leaders who inspire a new order, they need to stimulate our hopes and aspirations to build a great country that creates new opportunities. The majority of potential political leaders we have do not inspire this kind future we desperately need, they are preoccupied discussing the cost of cooking oil, fuel and mealie meal. The ambitions are too small for a big world, they think so...

After picking up in February, growth in global economic activity eased during the month of March 2022 with the J.P Morgan composite PMI shedding 0.8 points to a 2-month low of 52.7 in show of the negative effects of the Russo-Ukrainian war.

“GOD IS NOT A SOCIALIST [On Labour, its Day, and Other Imperatives] ___________________ Neither is He a Capitalist,” prods Dr. Canisius Banda

GOD IS NOT A SOCIALIST [On Labour, its Day, and Other Imperatives] ___________________ Neither is He a Capitalist. On days like Labour Day, we must deeply reflect on the origins, wellbeing and future of work. Through such careful reflection, we must then fashion a future that is harmonious for all concerned with reference to work/labour and workers. A curious and noteworthy phenomenon is that nearly all political parties in Zambia acknowledge God as the supreme authority of all guidance. This is encouraging, God being the embodiment of THE SOURCE. And yet, nearly all their manifestos do NOT accurately reflect this...

I saw a promising FUTURE in him, such an articulate and passionate young Zambian. But the Gary we are seeing today has MORPHED. I don’t know what he is high on or whether he is using drugs. He seems unhinged. He has become a monster, a dangerous creature...
