    In my opinion I think economic problem which our country is facing right now is bigger than our government itself so I suggest it would be better for us zambians to work hand in hand together with our government to stabilize our economy rather than just putting the blame on our top leaders❤ one zambia 🇿🇲 one nation

    Congratulations to Mr. Costa for the bold interview.
    The moment Zambians will learn or realize that good things do not come overnight, we will appreciate and yield development that is sustainable. Also, whenever you have got negatives in your pocket, learn to sacrifice to patch up the leaking pocket. This is exactly what the government is doing.

    As a borrowing nation, we should accept that IMF does dictate us the dos and dont's . We are not economically independent and i believe outsiders have a role to play in keeping us grounded. They contributed to the PF regime borrowing knowing so well that the next regime no matter how well they will be prepared to run the govt, they will not do so without borrowing. And it has come to pass. Above all, we have our leaders to blame.

    Lets avoid pre recorded programs as much as possible when dealing with the national agenda. Having preselected callers sends a picture of both media and government having an influence on the community from which they can get questions and responds adequately. A media House is a research House, hence it should have no influence on the callers. Therefore, I advice that next interview should be live direct from the studio and not prerecorded then aired like today. God bless Zambia and the media personnel.

Should we agree we have a leadership crisis on the continent because many zambian's hope is drained if not complete but to lower rate.Its high time to we stop defending ourselves when are governing contrary to what you promised while in opposition.Citizens are asking a fair question to the government through your promises while in opposition.

      The government runs the mines via ZCCM-IH you didnt know that? The issue is that mining is a very expensive business and you dont get your profit immediately. If you put in $100M for example, you will likely get that $100M after a number of years. World over, everyone is getting partners the issue is on the shares negotiated. You bring more money you get more shares kwasila.
