  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...

  By Isaac Able Mwaipopo In a time like this when a local company is faced with stiff competition, there is great need for appropriate institutions to see how  they can get together and provide adequate support to ensure ULENDO does not close shop, as much as foreign companies may be perceived to be efficient and cheaper, let’s not forget that they externalise all PROFITS, they hardly plough back into the local economy, ULENDO is local, owned by a young Zambian, i would have been happy if there was a way of protecting the infant innovation, may be the Competition...

Notice: Undefined index: catFilterList in /home/zambi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-likes/api.php on line 243

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. The war hit both domestic and export demand with the latter contracting at a 20-month high rate. Slowing demand notwithstanding, inflationary pressure continued to escalate while outstanding business orders accumulated at a quicker rate and thus forcing firms to enhance the pace of hiring labour. In view of the Russo-Ukrainian war occasioning a surge in commodity prices, hampering...

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


Notice: Undefined index: catFilterList in /home/zambi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-likes/api.php on line 243

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...

  GARY, THE ECONOMY and THE KACHASU FIASCO [Rule of the jungle, prejudice and Torture] ___________________ Gary NKOMBO is my FRIEND. I like his dress sense and love for fashion. As his Vice President in the UPND, there was a time I even passionately campaigned for him in his constituency in Mazabuka. 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...
