ACTUALIZATION OF BAROTSELAND STATEHOOD

Accept our compliments of the season and congratulations on your assumption of office of President of Zambia following the 20th January 2015 Presidential elections. We write to you regarding the above subject and welcome you to the reality of assuming the Presidency of a failed unitary state of Zambia.

We trust and hope that you will not run away from this reality as did your predecessors but engage us in the transition process of actualizing Barotseland statehood in a pacific manner.We have a rich understanding of what constitutes the Republic of Zambia—going back to the amalgamation of the territories of North-Eastern Rhodesia and Barotseland-North-western Rhodesia in 1911 to create the Protectorate of Northern Rhodesia, the forerunner jurisdiction to the Republic of Zambia. This was based on several treaties, the last of which was the Barotseland Agreement 1964 which facilitated for Northern Rhodesia to proceed to independence as one country and one nation, as opposed to dissolution into its former constituent territories as a consequence of the termination of the unifying colonial treaties.

To verify the foregoing assertion, we invite Your Excellency to carefully read, in sequential order, the following provisions of the constitutive statutes of the Republic of Zambia:-

  1. The preamble to the Barotseland Agreement 1964 as well as its clause 1;
  2. Section 1 and 8 of the Zambia Independence Act; and
  3. Section 20 of the Zambia Independence Order.

The road to independence in 1964 and the role Barotseland played in that process is well known and well documented, even though the first President, Dr. Kenneth David Kaunda tried to make it his entire life project to suppress it from the Zambian people and prevailed on his successors to continue oppressing the people of Barotseland.Since independence, the people of Barotseland have watched with great dismay how successive Zambian regimes violated the Barotseland Agreement 1964; the very fabric of the basis of the unitary
state of Zambia thereby leading to its unilateral repudiation in 1969, and, thereafter, continued violations of the human rights of the peoples of Barotseland.

It has always been the desire and expectation of the people of Barotseland to have that Agreement, embodying their human and minority rights, respected by the people of Zambia and successive Zambian regimes but such expectation has proven to be in vain.

It was against that background that the peoples of Barotseland, through the March 2012 Barotse National Council (BNC), resolved to accept the repudiation of the Barotseland Agreement 1964 and,thereby, set in motion the process of separating the territories of Barotseland and the rest of Zambia.

We do not understand why the rest of Zambian people, Zambian politicians, Zambian government, and Dr. Kenneth Kaunda and his successors fail to understand that without the Barotseland Agreement 1964, there is no unitary state called Zambia. As it were, the Barotseland Agreement 1964 is no more.Barotseland has since taken steps to engage the leaders of Zambia with a view to working out transitional arrangements towards self-determination and self-rule for Barotseland, but the Zambian regime has responded with more human rights abuses against the peoples of Barotseland while running away from international arbitration.

Additional steps taken include:

  • ? Formation of the Barotse National Freedom Alliance (BNFA), an umbrella Organization which brings together all serious activist groups and individuals at home and abroad for a common purpose;
  • ? Petitioned the African Commission for Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) in Banjul, The Gambia, the Commission determined to be seized by the petition, which is currently on
    admissibility stage. Suffice to mention that the Zambian government has failed to submit counter evidence in support of its intransigence over the issue;
  • ? Joined membership of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO);
  • ? Challenged the Zambian government through our international Lawyers to sign a submission Agreement to allow for the implications of the Zambian government’s unilateral abrogation of the Barotseland Agreement 1964 and Barotseland’s acceptance thereof and declaration of statehood to be determined by the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague.

Needless to say that while we collected more than 10,000 signatures from Barotse nationals in support of the PCA process, the Zambian regime under the immediate past and late President Michael Chilufya Sata chickened-out by refusing to append its signature, which was in essence an admission of guilty.It is in view of the foregoing that we feel this time round, we have to get going on day-one of your assuming office as regards matters that the people of Barotseland dearly and strongly look up to.

Specifically, we challenge you:

  1. To immediately engage the people of Barotseland and Barotse Civil Society Organizations with the sole purpose of working out the transitional arrangements towards self-determination and self-rule for Barotseland;
  2. To append your signature to the Permanent Court of Arbitration submission Agreement process to allow the International Court of Arbitration to rule on the unilateral abrogation of the Barotseland Agreement 1964 by the Zambian government in 1969 and the declaration of self determination and self-rule by Barotseland following its acceptance thereof through the Barotse National Council resolutions of March 27, 2012. In this regard, our Lawyers will soon be mailing to you the facilitating documentation to enable Your Excellence append your signature to the submission Agreement;
  3. Not to interfere in the governance and administration of the nation of Barotseland as well as in the re-organization and modernization of Barotseland governance institutions;
  4. To recognize the human rights of the peoples of Barotseland to self-determination and self-rule;
  5. To make a public affirmation that it is not treason to advocate for an independent state of Barotseland;
  6. Release and free all Barotseland nationals sentenced or incarcerated in Zambia jails for offences related to Barotseland statehood;
  7. To release and cause publication of the Chongwe Commission of Inquiry report on the genocide committed by the government of Zambia on 14th January 2011, including the minority report;
  8. Inform us on the whereabouts of the missing persons on the fateful day of 14th January 2011;
  9. Allow for freedom of assembly, association and organization in Barotseland;

We trust that among your first tasks as President will be to address the foregoing matters and eagerly await your reaction to this communication.

Yours faithfully,
Clement Wainyae Sinyinda
Chairperson General
Barotse National Freedom Alliance of the Kingdom of Barotseland

    • I wonder how many times the Barotse can be lied to until they realise that they are being told lies. Please wake up!

    • I SUGGEST YOU BAROTSELAND SYMPATHIZERS TO BRING THIS ISSUE AFTER 2016. NOT NOW, THERE’S NO TIME FOR SUCH ISSUES. UNLESS YOU JUST WANT TO DISTRACT THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT SO THAT IN 2016 U BLAME IT ON FAILURE TO DO THIS AND THAT…AND LET HH OR ANY NEW UPND CANDIDATE TO CAPITALIZE ON THAT.

    • U SHOULD HAVE BROT IT DURING CAMPAIGNS. YOU WANTED HH, SO WAIT TILL HE WINS THEN U CAN ASK HIM TO FOLLOW THIS ISSUE THRU..FOR NOW GIVE THE NEW PRESIDO SOME SPACE. WE’RE DEALING WITH THE CONSTITUTION AND OTHER MATTERS NOW. THERE’S TIME FOR EVERYTHING AND NOW ISN’T TIME FOR BAROTSE ISSUE. TRY AFTER 2016

    • The people of Barotseland must know that this issue is a very serious problem globally. All politicians take credit for trying to keep the country together and will always not allow the country to be devided. Losing any or even a small area of the country becomes a crisis and people can lose confidence in a leader who accepts division. The people of barotseland could be that they are iliterate and needs some education to help them follow whats going on around the world. Time has gone when people used to draw borders and to draw new ones now can not be good for all. HH himself will also find it a problem despite trying to get rid of policies by the PF gorvernment will are percieved to be very unfortunate.

    • It’s time Zambia has a referendum whether to remain one country or not. People have spoken, the last elections has left the country divided and let the issue of regional support be settled in a democratic way . The level of division in the country is unsustainable with the rise of social media how long are we going to ignore this?.

    • This issue must be solved one way or another. I pray my anuty the vice president, whispers something to Edgar lungu. Baroste land’s vote was anti-Sata

    If they want to have their own nation, they should pack up and get out of Zambia. Be like Christopher Columbus; explore and “discover” another country.

    • The 1889 Orders in Council enacted for the two territories namely –
      1. North Western Rhodesia Order in Council and
      2. North Eastern Rhodesia Order in Council.
      The 1911 Northern Rhodesia Order in Council merged the two territories became one political unit under the name of Northern Rhodesia.
      The 1911 Order in Council divided the Country into two parts, viz; land within Barotseland and other land. In Barotseland the Litunga had authority in tribal matters.
      On 18th May 1964, an agreement known as the Barotseland Agreement 1964, was entered into between the Government of the Republic of Zambia and the Litunga of Barotseland allowing for the birth of Zambia on 24th October, 1964.

    • allow me to comment on this issue for the first time clement Wainyae Sinyindahe is a frustrated politician who want to take the people of western province as tools to achieve his evil ambitions to cause confusions is our great Nation Zambia. the time he was in Government did he think of separating western province from mother Zambia? or that just came after he lost his job in Government? peace loving People of the land do not listen to frustrated politicians like this man because there are failures and failures are good at one thing failing. our country has been enjoying peace for 50 years so let us raise and reject evil ambitions of dividing our country remember we only have one country Zambia One Zambia One Nation

    • Becuae Inonge Wina’s husband and other prominent Lozis dribbled the Lozis as they themselves and families were secured financially from KK.

  6. Now this has become a very big concern for us here at the Watchdog.Ever since Edgar appointed Inonge as VP,Western Province has shown signs of voting for Edgar in big numbers in 2016.

    We pray that we can get a few more endorsements to help us win in 2016. Katele Kalumba has already ditched us and now we have information that GBM also is trying to negotiate with Lungu. Please God help us.
    The Barotseland has already started campaigning for Edgar.Things are getting worse now for our candidate HH and things are looking very good for Edgar.

    • U think if Western Province was already for PF would they be talking about breaking away? They are just as frustrated as anybody else who wants development and not these tribal politics whereby u vote for someone on trabal lines. EL knows that it was on the edge and is looking for some votes from the western but looks they are not interested!

    • YOU ARE CERTAINLY NOT ONE OF US PLEAZZZZZZZ………. BECOZ WE ARE NOW JUST STRONGER EN BETTER SORRY FOR YOU DEAR. AND FOR YOUR OWN INFORMATION INONGE WINA’S APPOINTMENT IS AS AN INDIVIDUAL NOT AS WESTERN PROVINCE BECOZ ITS SIMPLY PAY BACK TIME FOR PRESIDENT LUNGU. HE OWES HER FOR THE WORK SHE DID. REMEMBER IT WAS HER WHO PUT HIM AS PF PRESIDENT, SHE FOUGHT WITH SCOT BY THE THEN THE ACTING PRESIDENT IT WAS A WELL DONE JOB BY WINA FOR LUNGU AND ALL THE WESTERNERS KNOW THAT CLEARLY BECOZ LUNGU ACTUALLY LOST IN WESTERN PROVINCE IN THE AREA WHERE SHEE……….. MADAM WINA WAS MP, MY DEAR THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES SO DON’T JUST HALLUCINATE SPEAK FACTS. AND JUST SO YOU KNOW YOUR COMMENT ABOUT US DOESN’T MEAN A THING BECAUSE WE ARE STRONGER BETTER WISER HAPPIER AND ABOVE ALL MORE UNITED.

  7. Rock Fm News is reporting that at yesterday’s meeting at Cresta Golf view that HH said, “ECZ was not declared winner of last week’s presidential election, BECAUSE HE IS TONGA”.

    What the hell is wrong with this man. He keeps using his tribe as an achilles heel. People don just like him…..thats all.

    • You will just go mad with your lies. Find something else to say. Your hatred for HH will never help ou. Just work hard you monkey.

  8. Western Province constitutes other tribes as well such as the Nkoya, Mbunda etc who do not agree with BRE idea and they have said let them have only Mongu only. So how are you going to do it. Infact the territoriy included parts of Southern, Copperbelt and North Western. Really is it practical. I think it has been over taken by events. If they had implemented it then, it would have made some sence not in this era where the way everyone is going is democracy. The Monarchy has been done away with

    • LEARN TO KNOW THE HISTORY OF BAROTSELAND AND KNOW WHO ARE THE LOZIS. I DONT SUPPORT THE IDEA BUT LOOKING AT THE WAY WE ARE CALLED NAMES AND TREATED THIS MIGHT JUST INTEREST SO MANY PEOPLE.

    • I am of Nkoya, Toka, Kwanga and Luyi descent. I consider myself very much Lozi. Many of aluyi people of Western province who
      migrated from Western Congo are of mixed parentage, when the Luyis settled in Barotse they intermarried across tribes. Lozi is just a lingua franca which is a mix of luyana and kololo. In luyana fine is, “Bwino”

      The agreement has nothing to do with being a Lozi it is a legal document which needs to be addressed so.

      I was not raised in Western Province and not married from there either, but that does not take away my rights or that of my spouse and children who are half Lozis, those who say so merwant to
      instil fear and division. Late Nkomeshya spokesman of the Nkoya people spoke fluent Lozi.

      Best to view the BA64 in its legality not as a tribal doc.

  9. You Barotse, do not sway the attention of the President from meaningful developmental issues to your selfish goals, hinged on making the work of the President difficult. ‘If you can not beat them, join them’. H.E EL is the president for all Zambians including Barotseland, and we expect the national cake to be shared equally under his administration.

    • YOU ARE SIMPLY AN ***** WERE WAS THE GOVERNMENT WHEN THEY WERE ASKING THEM TO DEVELOP THEIR PROVINCE. THE BETTER THING TO DO NOW IS TO ALLOW PRESIDENT HH RULE AND YOU SHALL MOVE FORWARD. UKUTEMWA FYAKUNUMA ISUKENI AMENSO TWAPAPATA WE NEED ZAMBIA TO MOVE FORWARD FORWARD FORWARD. BY THE WAY WHERE ON EARTH IN THIS DAY OF TIME (YOU ASK PIPO NOT TO TALK BECAUSE THEY WILL FAIL TO WORK) IYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TWAPAPATA ICHITU ICHO THEN THEY MUST HAVE FILED ALREADY EVEN BEFORE THEY WORKED ITS GOOD THAT THEY ARE TAKING. INFACT I ADVISE THAT THEY STOP TALKING AND THEY START SCREAMING MAYBE THE PRESIDENT WILL HEAR THEM LOUD AND CLEAR.

  11. You have started again. Please let the gvt concentrate on sensible matters, not ifyabupuba again. This Siniynda is the one who should be behind bars. Alitumpa sana. What does he want??? If its fighting he can join ISI , they need a lot of such men

  12. The unitary failed state. Surely Zambia is a failed state. Believe me brothers and sisters mere talking will not help on this matter. we need a solution to this and many other problems such as tribalism that is being poured on our tribes whenever we try to exercise our democratic rights.
    Zambia is a divided country and nothing will work for us as long as they continue to marginalise our existence. when the accepted way of doing things does not make sense, then something has to be done.
    The barotse issue should not just sleep. its time to rise to the challenge and confront each other head on.

  13. This government has the responsibility to unite all Zambians. If this is not done then we are headed for doom. I know that some of us are failing to read between the lines and instead taking this matter very lightly. If you notice how we voted, you will agree that the voting was not issue-based but tribal-based and every serious Zambian must get concerned. I am actually from Muchinga Province but I am not very pleased with the way things turned out after the elections. Zambia seems to be more divided than ever before and Edgar Lungu and his administration must address this matter very seriously and expeditiously. If they decide to ignore, it will be at their own peril. We need to unite. Right now there’s too much tension in the country. PF must tame its cadres else the country will erupt.

  14. This is s deliberate ploy by the UPND to distract the President from real issues.

    This is treasonable to say the least.

    Every single copy of this agreement should be burned and ashes completely destroyed.

    You Lozis, why do you think you are special?. We can even demote your Inonge and still win. Aala!!

    There are many tribal groupings in Zambia, some of which more important than the Lozi’s but they are humble.

    Your agreement is statutory barred and obsolete as it is pre-independence.

    We have had enough of this Agreement. President Lungu just announce that Zambia is bigger than this agreement and its not going to distract you from the national agenda, nor is it going to hold you to ransom.

  15. A very complicated matter when you consider that the whole of southern and north-western provinces are part of Barotseland as well. Worse if support to cessation is joined by the two provinces who I am sure feel cheated by the last election and a growing resentment for not having one of their own leading in fifty years of independence.

    • Stop being irresponsible. Why is sinyinda bringing this issue after losing a job in government? He was in the MMD government and never stood up for this issue.

      Lets not allow selfish people lead us into problems. While its Government responsibility to deliver development to all corners of the country it’s equally the responsibility of the citizens to develop their country.

      The signatories were Kaunda and Litunga or the chief and the government and not some activist. When the Chinese were looting the western province off the precious mukola trees where was sinyinda? The honorable MP was in government and did nothing.

      Stop playing dangerous politics bo sinyinda.

  16. Dear Author, your heavily opinionionated article has robbed your representations of objectivity. State facts as they are and resist the temptation to offer your comments. For example, since when did Zambia become a failed state? In any case, Lungu as President of the Republic of Zambia has no power to honor your request to secede without violating his oath of office, or indeed, the republican constitution. Remember that he swore to preside over Zambia which is a unitary state, not a failed unitary state as you put it. Therefore, the only president who can help you is one who has not taken the oath of office. But does a president who has not been sworn exist? I am afraid not, so your matter will only remain a campaign promise.

  17. I do not see how this will benefit anyone other than Barotse Leaders. You sold your land; “The Law Will not Protect anyone For making a Bad Bargain” that is the Zambian constitution!

  18. When this disgruntled individual says ”we the people” he is referring to 10,000 like minded individuals who put pen to paper that they want to brake from Zambia. The overwhelming majority -over 860k or 99.9%- did not. In fact over 29% of the eligible voters turned up to actively participate in Zambian way of life by voting.

    So when Clement says we the people he is misrepresenting the real people of Barotseland.

    I short he is not struggling for the better of a people but for evil selfish interests.

  20. ALMOST TWICE THE NUMBER OF PEPLE VOTED FOR THE CURRENT GOVERMENT COMPARED TO THOSE WHO APPENDED THE SIGNATURE TO CLEMENT’S SENTIMENTS.

    SO ALREADY THE MARJOTY HAVE SPOKEN.

    CLEMENTS PLEASE JUST TURN YOU ENERGIES TO FIGHTING FOR DEVELOPMENT IN BAROTSELAND. STOP THE EVIL ALREADY YOU HAVE LOST AND YOU WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE

  21. Your HaHi will come and do it for you if you will succeed in surpassing the vote of other regions since you believe so much in regional voting and voting for tradition cousins, relatives and tribesmen.

    • But is HA HI going to accept to give up part of Southern Province to Barotse Land. And are all the tribes in Western Province Lozis? The ans is NO!

  22. Clement was in MMD government and he never raised the issue. He is forgetting that the Lozis are only in mongu. So what is barotseland. They Lozis are trouble makers they tried it in caprivi, Namibia but Mujoma kicked their asses and they have kept quite. We need to do the Mujoma way against thes old tribal ,stupid people.

  23. These chaps they just want us to be insulting them.How does someone bring such a topic when people are trying to unite the country? This shows that these chaps just want to be fighting. Tukabapononaaaaa…….!!!!

  25. I have always said that just appointing of individuals to positions is not enough to solve some of the problems. The big problem is that some people think that certain sections of society have been marginalised in running the affairs of the country. This is what we need to address and find how inclusive every one will feel they are participating in the running of the affair of the country.

    I believe these people have been hit to the bottom of their hurts. They have been very consistence. Just to brush aside the concerns and label them tribe is very dangerous.

    Look at North Western province with all the copper mines and see how they voted. They are now aligning themselves to other groups and this group is growing. Ignore this at your peril

    • For how long has mining been in existence in Northwestern province?Mining started just a few years ago and you already want to see sky scrappers? You people like talking from without.North Western province is developing but maybe slowly.This shouldn’t surprise any one as the whole country itself is still highly impoverished.

  28. Just voting and winning with 33% in the general elections year in and out is not democracy. What is democracy if after these so called election 40% of the population is left with ill feelings against their own brothers that they are dominating the running of the affairs of the country. Most of us may be condemning these brother because they are not the ones on the receiving end.Think if it was you. How would react? Would your reaction be different from what they are advocating.
    Look at some of the rebellion or reactions in these province and this should tell you that the current governance system may not be good:

    (1) Mushala rebellion in North Western Prov
    (2) The Barotse issue in Western prov
    (3) Voting pattern in Southern Prov and Ndola rural

    Are all these trends just a…

  29. Bayambako nafuti. These people are proving to be as irritating as a mosquito. Zambians will sort them out. We won’t allow them to spoil our enduring peace and stability given to us by God’s good hand.

  30. Failed State, what failed state? Just because your small mind has failed to fit in does not make us a failed state.

    For your information, you are not the one who has the final definition and description of a failed state.

    Get on with your life. Show some respect for the royal establishment by not speaking for them. You are not the kingmaker for the peoples of Western Province.

    If there was sense in your agitation, the royal establishment would have been in discussions with the Zambian government a long time ago.

  32. Rubbish Rants from a person whom poverty has hit (Njara ya munyokola Sinyinda). He was in MMD as minister and he never raised this issue much more that MMD did nothing in Mongu. Now when PF has tared Mongu and building the Kalabo road this useless man starts insulting Zambians. Very un thankful people they are really. You are becoming so stupid Lozis and know that this time round you have lost support of Zambians. Shame on you.

    Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.

    • all the same pliz dnt call the lozis stupid? it’s not ryt! ma husband to be is Lozi am not, we are one pliz and besides must one man’s action amount to everybody else being called names? NO!

  33. edgar was elected by zambians real zambians not abaloshi like mwanawasa called you baffons. now for your information, when your coward forfathers sold our native land we got back from the white settlers; them knowing how stupid and gullible you are they
    left a cancer for you to fester. but sorry we dont need western province, but be warned dont, touch my copper belt you thieves, for i will cut you balls

  35. This issue is a waste of time ,Zambia is one country now ,division will never take place .So please just forget and move on with life.

  36. Napapata mwikaleka aba Bemba bakafwe kunsala. Finshi ifyaba ku Northern province. Takwaba maini, tabalima, tabaibombela. Balomba fye no kuwayawaya. Ukulya ifinkubala naba kolwe. Tensala yonse ilenga ifyo? Echo babutukila muma Tauni. Teti bekale kumyabo. Lusaka batemwa ya ba Soli. Copperbelt ya ba Lamba. Mu Kabwe mwa ba Lenje. Inga chaba ifi, awe ninshi mwaipaya umutundu wachi Bemba. Lesa takamileke. Ala lekeni tuleikalafye ififine. Imiti ikulila pamo taibula kukwesana. Na landa newa mano. bambi bampilibwileko muchisungu pantu ndefwaya a ba Tonga, Lozi, Ngoni, Luvale bonse bomfwe.

    • Where do relief foods go every year? Is it to the Bembas or the Tongas, Lozis, etc? When have you heard that the Bembas are asking for relief food? Now let you know that this time round all relief money must be shared equally. Bembas must also be given relief money , let us share this money equally please, Bemba MPs please raise this in parliament.

      Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.

  37. I think Wainyai is eyeing to be president of the so called barotse land with evil and selfish motives. It’s irritating and nauseating. The best thing is to move walk on. You are a day dreamer wainyai. Ha ha ha!! Dream on. It’s good to dream.

  39. Those who don’t understand the barotseland and north western Rhodesia should shut their beaks! Now if you thought that Lozis, Tongas,Luvales, Linda’s Kaondes,those in central are stupid and you’re special, time for them has come to get what belongs to them!!! A snake bites when there is an end of it’s hole. United we stand,divided we fall!! Otherwise there is only one voice calling on western,southern, north western,central provinces on this matters!!

  40. Too many clowns in Zambia. After you reject the person as candidate, then you ask him to honour an agreement everyone else has ignored? Be serious guys! How many votes did you give Lungu? Campaign for HH in 2016! It is a sure way of getting the BA honoured, from what I hear.

  43. HH and his cronies should not go against God. Zambia was declared a Christian nation. Him and Sinyinda shall fell miserably.

  44. We had lots of *****s on this blog. Yes HH won, he is Tonga that is why he was not declared winner. I am bemba but do not support the foolishness of most of you people, give them people there independence, Barotseland, then you will see how much we depend on these same people we are insulting. Us bembas can not even take care of out tushes. Tribe has become a big thing, remember these intermarriages has created no boundaries almost for every family, you fight you own relatives you fools. I am glad I am not part of the suffering, suffer more, eat pup, if that makes you feel better. The government is broke, we will see how you will fight each other, hope you don’t start eating each other. Crazy maroons. some of you do even get paid, but still vote for the same people who do pay you, suffer

  45. In support of Salamat @ 3.1 .Am abit lost,what I learnt in History of Zambia at the University , I learnt that the Barotse Agreement which was tabled and signed in England in presence of Dr. Kaunda, king Lewanika Sir Mwanawina 3rd and a British Minister of Colonies.
    In the fore said Dr. Kaunda is alive, the Lozi Royal Establishment is alive, why cant we get to the bottom of this. I want to correct what I learnt if its wrong after 50 years.So we can focus on real issues . I thank you all.

  46. when it is time it is really indeed time and no one can say no.
    First and formost,zambia is a large nation holding holistic groups and tribes of people but the question is,is there equality in the way of governance ?or it is one zambia one tribe plus the other tribe??no one is perfect even though you blame lozis and tongas to be tribalists..
    no fairness at all.Hence its good for them to govern themselves in balozi land kuna..
    period…..
