Wednesday May 19, 2018 By Alfred A. K. Ndhlovu [Hon.] SEVERAL political leaders in Zambia have commented, or sometimes comment, that all chiefs should not comment on political matters because as traditional rulers they must be neutral in politics. There are two terms which have not been defined properly by politicians themselves which confuse the citizens of Zambia. The terms are “active politics” and “partisan politics” to which can, or must, be added the other common phrase “traditional rulers”. Is being neutral in politics consistent with respect for fundamental human rights? Do chiefs have human rights as traditional rulers and...

Let us emulate Theresa May, Edgar Chagwa Lungu, prods ‘Zambia-first mindset’

Fellow Citizens, Let me quote the former Prime Minister of Britain, Mrs. Theresa May, because her words in the attached video are relevant to Zambia today. Among other things, Mrs. May said:“I am worried about the state of politics…. One which believes that if you simply assert your view loud enough and long enough, you will get your way in the end…. This is coarsening our public debate. Some are losing the ability to disagree without demeaning the views of others. Online technology allows people to express their anger and anxiety without filter or accountability. Aggressive assertions are made without...

Threat by Mopani to retrench 4,000 miners: it is high time Government invoked its golden share to end protectionist policies in mining sector


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

By Sinkamba Peter Tuesday August 22nd 2017 at 5:46pm As the Green Party, we extremely nauseated by Mopani Copper Mines (MCM)’s threaat to retrench 4,000 miners if Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC) sticks to cost-reflective tariffs. We find this threat, when the electorates are paying even at higher rates a perfect example of corporate impunity bred from protectionist policies. The threat is actually an insult to the Zambian Government and its people. If MCM proceeds to implement its threat, we urge Government to invoke its golden share to outvote all other shares in on this issue. The golden share held by...
