  1. LT has failed to report on the important issues HH raised. Common LT, be a responsible media & cover diverse range of topics including the opposition.

    If it was visionless Lungu or any other PF violent charlatans & cretins, the news would be reported with long boring articles without essence.
    With Lt favouring visionless PF bandits, more suffering, poverty & hunger will continue to be peoples blanket.

    • If only we can take time to actually LISTEN to what HH is saying we can realize that he is making a lot of sense. The problem with Zambians is that they think politically. We must realize that Zambia is bigger than any political party, PF, UPND etc… will come and go but Zambia will always the there

    • By the way, today is Monday & clearly LT has lamently failed to write a review or report on what HH manifested. The only lame or lazy excuse LT managed from Friday when HH was articulating various things happening in the country on Let the people talk is only… “HH’s Friday Let the People Talk Appearance”?! In the last 4 days the entire LT staff only managed to to report about the TITLE~LOL.
      LT you’re deservicing the country by your failure of being a media who is BIASED to opponents of visionless & violent PF bandits.

    • Great articulation of issues by HH, the man knows what he is talking about , he has a plan, vision and team to work with. Let us try this man

    • Hh sounds clueless because his claims are neither here nor there. We have plenty brainy people in govt more intelligent than him who are doing their work professionally. The only people who see wisdom in him are his fellow under5s because they’re not ecposed much to reality. Just read thr comments from his fellow under5s to prove what am saying. ..very shallow kants

    • The program moderators who engage politicians in discussion must learn to research before hand on topics they want to raise for clarifications with whoever they are interviewing. I am really disappointed with the scratching on the surface without delving deeper, Zambians need to know and understand where those in leadership positions want to take the county to.

    • HH answered well.
      No LEADERSHIP in Zambia that’s why campaign never end.
      But me I like this campaigning life mwee… especially now that there are no barbaric fight like used to be under RB.

    • Troubled AirZim seeks $190m
      dailynews.co.zw Mar 5, 2018 11:03 AM
      HARARE – Beleaguered national flag carrier, Air Zimbabwe (AirZim), is pleading for a $190 million capital injection from its sole shareholder, government, to fund its revival.

      Why can’t Ethiopian airways just go and invest in already existing zimair?

    • @IPH: you spot on, we Zambians are bad at reading or listen to such issues? He is talking facts but we are quick at politics at taking sides. People eating Mwibala cannot listen because it’s their time. Zambia is being plundered at its fullest.

    • Great show … He answered most of the questions very well and for the first time since 2008 I felt like Hakalusa may actually be Hakawina.

      Here are the points he scored on:

      1. While his assertion on latent taxes being high is accurate, his calculations on disposable income were wrong. This is because some of the taxes he referred to are consumption and don’t occur until you decide to take that product and/or service. So, you can’t just spread them across a tax base the way he did.

      2. While it’s is truly the job of ECZ to recommend printing locations for ballot papers and he was right that ECL overstepped his bounds as an interested party, it’s is wrong to totally repudiate the exercise based on politics especially that he advocated cutting costs. It’s arguable true that if the…

    • Continued…

      It’s arguably true that if the objective is to cut costs and improve efficiencies, printing them locally is cardinal but I believe that all stakeholders must be involved to lend credence to the process and dispel all elements of bad faith.

      3. He was totally right on the passage of the Universal Health Care bill without placing functional parameters in place to ensure proper revenue collection. Without proper mechanisms in place the formal sector would carry this burden for the masses especially that unemployment is still high. GRZ may eventually be forced to carry the social transfer burden in the short term.

      4. He was right about fuel prices not fluctuating with market prices but he was economic with the truth when he didn’t attribute the removal of subsidies to…

      4. He was right about fuel prices not fluctuating with market prices but he was economic with the truth when he didn’t attribute the removal of subsidies to cushion pricing differentials both for fuel and electricity. So, the price per barrel fell quite alright but at the same time GRZ removed subsidies.

      5. He quoted the right figures on GDP but used extrapolated figures for the national debt. Truth requires consistency and by using arbitrary figures there for actually debt he misled the masses.

      6. While he was right on previous real GDP growth in the last years of the MMD at 7%, he again misled the masses by saying the last GDP growth for last year was only 2% when the World Bank actually reported it at 4.5%. In fact, according to the World Bank nominal GDP before…

    • Continued…

      In fact, according to the World Bank nominal GDP before adjusting for inflation was in double digits.

      7. He was totally wrong to oppose the introduction of Zambia Airways only because he believes the PF can’t run anything. That was not a business reason but a political reason and does not pass the litmus test of intellectual honesty. While all things being equal QZ is a great business model, he refused to be objective and choose to be purely subjective.

      8. He was totally right about the 90 days to hear petitions for disputed elections such as Munali and Lusaka Central but totally wrong on the 14 days for proper submissions and furthermore totally wrong on presidential prerogatives which if he became President I would like him to have.

      In conclusion, Hakalusa may…

    • Continued…

      In conclusion, Hakalusa may have now grown up and maybe positioning himself as a future Hakawina. There are many items he scored well on these are just a few otherwise the list is endless…

      With an exception of few hyperbolies here and there, the road to State House in 2021 is surely passing through Southern Province as I have said before. So, if he holds a convention and his party elects him as their candidate, he ceases to be Ayatollah and becomes a real contender, I must add.

      My vote is still with ECL but this interview may go in history as the day Under 5 grew up so open your eyes everyone.

      I am Zambian first and UNIPist second and that’s one reason I have said no to the bad bill on election participation term limits at national level.

  2. LT you are sinking deeper into the PF mouthpiece bucket……police are flooding Luwansha to block CK or assaulting opposition with PF you remain silent ??

  3. Answer question, HH what can you do better to put economy on track- (HH).. BLablablabla South Africa this South Africa that… We need to reduce the price of electricity (HH) whenhe is finance minister that is how he is going to put economy back on track. HH borrowing alone is not a problem everyone borrows the question is what are you borrowing for? That is what HH should be articulating.

  4. Paipa pano…only die hard tribalists listen to this loser called Kainde!!we never listened to him on friday.when late Michael Sata was appearing on Radio phoenix on let the people programmes,urban areas were coming a standstill.everyone was seen listening to the radio.but now only few and mostly bantistan even know that HH appeared there.ITS HELL FOR KAINDE!!
    He says same things and people are fed up hearing same old stories!!ITS LIKE ARSENAL TEAM MAINTAINING ARSENER WENGER FOR 22YRS WHO CANT OFFER ANY NEW COACHING TIPS THEN HOPE TO WIN EPL,HOW?it cant work.upnd should replace Kainde with a new leader with fresh political ideas!!
    FOR MOST OF US IN 6.5 PROVINCE,IN IT WILL BE PF NAFUTI NAFUTI!!!

  5. When you critically listen and hear what HH is saying you then come to a true conclusion that HH is nothing but a bitter man, he has no facts, he cannot substantiate what he is claiming against President Lungu and the PF. All that I see in HH is this, he has an ego to feed.
    Is HH honestly telling the Zambians that PF has not done anything to bring development? How can a person aspiring to be president honestly say that electricity today in Zambia is too expensive and he will reduce it, total lie. Any nation that calls itself developed pay the true value of electricity, if HH was sincere on this he could have given an example where electricity is for mahala and yet the economy is vibrant.
    On the printing of ballot papers locally, honestly, is this not the same HH who in 2016 was against…

  6. contd
    On the printing of ballot papers locally, honestly, is this not the same HH who in 2016 was against government printing the ballot papers in Dubai and today he says local printing is meant for rigging?
    Moreover, in that interview, you can basically tell that the entire UPND are all disgruntled people who for some reasons are bitter against those that are working and making ends meet.
    Overall, am impressed with Luchi because he asked real questions which CLEARLY HH was blank about or has no answers. For instance, HH was asked if he was a Finance Minister what he can do now to do better, his answer was “I cant be Finance Minister” meaning HH only thinks being president sadly. Even then, his answers where shallow and hollow “bring cost of doing business low”, but just how? The…

  7. contd
    The man needs to come to terms that he is actually a big liar than the people he is accusing and no one in this era can go by his ranting. HH is jealous of President Lungu and its this will never make him win any presidential election. Besides, most callers who seemed to agree with HH are know UPND lofers who have either retired or have squandered the pension money and now they what everyone to believe that PF is bad. How can you insult people that anyone in PF is corrupt and corruption is PF, just how? HH will regret these sentiments.

  8. On the proposed nuclear plant, HH could have scored some points but again because of his anger and bitterness missed and opportunity. True, today even in the next 20 years, Zambia will not be ready to handle a nuclear energy due to its complexities and dangers because if not managed properly, the consequences are beyond anybody’s imagination and it has nothing to do with corruption. HH needs to retire from politics, go rest and focus on what he knows best, politics, awe, patali………

  9. It’s like LT didn’t want to summarize this story in order not to be accused of distorting facts, but then it’s hard to listen to what Hichilema had to say in one sitting. There’s no time. He keeps repeating the same issues like a broken record

    • hh has nothing to offer he is as clueless as a hyena and didn’t answer Luchi satisfactorily and got 3 out of 10

  10. I like it”young people before you buy that Rolex watch think of how you can put that money to good effect “so deep! 42/42.
    Then some mongrels have their knives out trushing sense

  11. The trouble with h.h is that he twists everything. But here is why he loses at critical points in time
    1. Namwala xenophobia: it happened right in his place of origin and yet he never condemned the barbaric acts.
    2. He was elected on the platform of only his clan qualifies for president and he has never disowned that vision. Instead at his unguarded moments he has reinforced it via chief Mukuni and via Namwala and via Dundumwezi and via Munkombwe at Choma rally and via insukting ECZ chair Chuulu merely for his tribe, calling ngonis as rats and bembas as monkeys in a maize field.
    3. Je has failed to build on his 3.5 province support base, even there he is losing grip.

  14. @1.9 to 1.13 B R MUMBA SR. I am impressed by your objective analysis. Your are usually objective even if some misunderstand you often times. Keep it up bro.
    What H.H needs is to win Copperbelt Urban and Lusaka City. It is simple statistics given that the rest of Zambia have started voting on tribal lines. Simple. More importantly, he needs to appears humble and not some rich-load-it-on-them-guy . He sometimes comes out very arrogantly (e.g Sunday interview) creating the impression that he is an ‘i-know-it-all-guy’. This pushes people off. Unfairly, the tribal card is easily invoked and successfully used against him, courtesy of Ackson Sejani’s utterances more than a decade ago. Although I think his best shots were 2015/16 elections, he may still have a chance. If he doesn’t win 2021,…
