Do away with cadres .. What is their role in society? Only to give security wo/men a headache.
Keep going with KK. He ruled Zed with an iron hand, full of love for his own people.
KK the man!
KK,Yes, we can!! Yes we can uphold all the gains we have scored as a country in keying these gains in a better legal frame work called A NEW CONSTITUTION with a maximum of only 4 political parties offering different ideologies or alternative ideologies. Through out history, colonialism or apartheid, Evil or a wrong status quo can only thrive if GOOD MEN do NOTHING…..but when the true conviction of the common good of good men takes cause, change triumphs and the common good prevails for the benefit of all.  I say this because the common good is the reason for the existence of political, social and economic institutions. We have no alternative but to struggle without respite to construct a political system that  is totally INDEPENDENTÂ
Peace on earth!
KK, Truly a philosopher, truly a visionary, truly an ideologically centred leader of our time. You made it happen, from “one Zambia one nation, humanism, to true liberation and defining the true meaning of independence (not neo-colonialism or Neo- liberalism)….I salute you comrade KK with honour
Wish u a speedy long life with all our love to you………
Now, as a man of ideologies and a living hero of our time, I’m very sure; Zambia does not need 17 Presidents for one presidential vacancy. Surely does Zambia need, politically 17 ideologies (which most parties, politically do not have, not even ONE) for people to choose a president and develop or move the country forward? Â And do the presidents of those political parties differ in principle on 17 ideologies?
KK you taught us the importance  of Philosophy and the  power of ideologies…Notwithstanding the fact that Zambia is a democracy, our people deserve better and MUST only be guided into a successful future on ideology- Either one believes in money -capitalism, to drive the country forward or one believes in humanity-Socialist/communism or a mixture of capitalism&socialism/communism or better still a combination of ” Humanism, Socialism and communism”. So, utmost Zambia should only have 4 political parties with 4 different ideologies to compete for presidential elections and NOT  the 17 we are witnessing in 2011…..this will just spoil votes and later create APATHY  in our people and a destruction of our democracy ( people will lose confidence in our political system). Â
KK in a lot of respects is a giant of a man,tempered with a good sense of humor and spirit.I feel he has almost always seen,heard and understood more than normal humans.live to be 100 and so us fellow zeds how
# 6 with all due respect, KK’s ideology got Zambia  into big trouble. What was humanism all about? Socialism and communism do not work, as they suppress human development.Â
You are the frustrated person. who shows a blind eye over the happenings in the 1970s. Think twice. It was not easy to rule while surrounded by enemies.. I hope you get me correct with due respect.
