  • @markwiseman49
    @markwiseman49 2 года назад +2

    An old saying - 'A country gets the Government it deserves'. Darling, darling Zambia! We may have the President now that we have deserved for many years. Someone who will be the servant of the people he loves (go read your Bible...!), someone who is intelligent, lucid, exposed to the outside world (MBA Birmingham), someone who has suffered, someone who has persevered, and someone who has been highly successful in what he has done to date in life. There are so many places where he could start work in Zambia - corruption in the Ministries, charcoal burning deforestation, homelessness (you can't call living in corrugated iron kapoto 'home), the re-colonisation of Z. by heartless, God-less, racist communists who cover the country with cheap blue paint (you know who I'm talking about), plastic recycling (please get glass back), and the drift from the villages to the cities. BUT - Ba President Hakainde has SUCH a wonderful people with which to work with, in such a wonderful place, with sun, water, space. May the gross disconnect that exists between what Zambia HAS and what Zambia IS be broken forever. May Zambia be a haven for those who love Africa, love Africans, love God. May it be, under HH, a place of security, peace, prosperity (always green please, always sustainable), a light that shines in Africa, a reputation that grows globally, and the death knell to the basket case image those in the rich parts of the world have of Africa.

    HH, and the UPND have changed the tone and level politics from fourth grade politicking to issue based politics. He aims on attacking economical problems finding sustainable solutions and not attacking individuals. Such is the leader will need. Am behind you sir HH your excellence. No more politics of character assassination. Therefore, the opposition party of government should learn to provide positive issue based criticisms which will lead to developing a better Zambia and not looking forward to seeing HH and the UPND fail. We must support the man, he has a vision for the country. Go Bally Go, son of Zambia, son of the soil, son of Africa. May the almighty Lead you as you shine the righteousness of God To the whole world. May the principals of right doing protect you.

    But reminds you let Zambians control their economy in hand. Everywhere we've seen the Chinese and Indians who are enjoying the business while indigenous left behind. Not only Zambia. Across African Indians & Chinese, both were ahead in our soil. We elected leaders nothing changes the image of African. People are slaves or saviours in their country.

To be in agreement with the will of God on His people. Psalm 32:8, says, "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye". I pray as the word of God is faithful and God is faithful to His word that as His word has said may He instruct you daily and teach you what to do in every situation and circumstance. Humble yourself under His instruction that He may use you to deliver His will upon His people. We shall continue to pray for you and our nation and God will never fail nor forsake us. It shall be well. God bless you!!!

    The Problem with us Africans is to praise the athletes before they even start the race. When the inevitable happens it takes long to realise that we were wrong.
    Zambia is a country endowed with resources . He can make it a big bread of Africa than Zimbabwe was. Let's wait and
    See the implementation of plans. The reality is he is yet to achieve if he has big plans and yet to fail if he doesn't have plans.

    Restoring the rule of law and strengthening the Judicial system will be the first step to getting investor confidence back and negotiating our way out of the Huge debt that was amassed by the of administration. The acc and DEC should do there job for once and ensure the culprits pay back legally and financially to the state. That is in public interest right now
