Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD) Chairperson for International Relations Joyce Musenge has implored the women folk in the country to join politics if the country’s political narrative as regards women participation in politics is to be changed.
And Ambassador Musenge says the relationship between Zambia and China should not be viewed as “Horse and Rider” kind of relationship because both countries benefit from the relationship.
Meanwhile MMD National Secretary Raphael Nakacinda said the propaganda that some sectors of society have continued to peddle against individuals and institutions are distorting history, achievements and successes scored during their tenure in office.
Amb Musenge who was featuring on Radio Phoenix’s popular talk show “Let The People Talk” said staying out from the country’s politics does not in any way help the women who are already in politics.
“Our politics are so toxic right now. When a woman is looked at some of the comments that they make are so unfortunate. For example when Hon Dora Siliya went to that funeral the comments that came out of that are what is discouraging a lot of young people, it’s toxic, they don’t talk about what she can contribute but who she is, things like ‘hule’ and the like that is very discouraging but I want to appeal to our young people, the young women out there that if you don’t get involved and change the course of politics, politics will define us instead.
“We are going to have the same toxic politics day in day out they will always be attacking our character but we must be above board and we have to get involved because some of the things that affect us as women we can change them if we get involved because other people will not change for us. If you are passionate about something find a party that speaks to your passion and be a change agent in our politics,” she said.
On the much talked about Zambia’s relationship with China Ambassador Musenge who is the former Zambian envoy to China said the bilateral relationship with the Chinese is mutually beneficial.
She said the relationship between the two countries comes from far back and that it is up to Zambians to identify what they want to get from China.
“I get concerned when people are talking about our relationship with China, it is not about China, if you go to China you will see the transformation from 30 years ago we have something to learn from the Chinese.
“It is not the relationship that we should be talking about, it is how we are negotiating with China. We just to properly structured a way in which we are talking to our friends. It is not the Chinese who should identify what we want to benefit from China,” she said.
And featuring on the same program party National Secretary Raphael Nakacinda said the party’s legacy and that of its founding President has been tarnished by propaganda which has distorted the achievements of both the party and late President Fredrick Chiluba.
He said the legacy of MMD is not fully appreciated because some people who felt they did not benefit from the party went on rampage discrediting the party and its leaders in the process destroying many lives.
And the MMD CEO has underscored the importance of a credible education sector as it is the engine of the country.
Asked to comment on the examination leakages Nakacinda said there is need to ensure that the education sector is credible because it is from the education system that a pool of the country’s human resources in all sectors is gotten.
He observed the need for the current leaders in government to consult from their colleagues who held the same positions in the past when dealing with such challenges.
Men always accuse an accomplished woman and a woman out of their league as being a “prostitute”. All pea sized brained, none ego having ugly John solye ubwali’s are guilty of this.
With a negative view like this of these people ,perhaps it is then right to call these women prostitutes.
Ok so he is out of your league ( whatever that means) does that mean you have to abuse them by calling them names because you are feel you are better off??
It sounds to me that you feel you are too good for someone based on what?? Money ?education? Looks,? house, ??? What??
Anyone should marry anyone as long as there is love. After all the ones in your league play other leagues as well and therefore provide a bridge between yourself and ugly John isa ulye ubali you despise
Are there no ugly educated women??
Are there no women with no ego?
Are there no Jane isa ulye ubwali?
This talking about leagues should end.
there are good hearted, egoless, ugly John isa ulye…
Stick to your lane and prove to the Zambians that you can become the MMD of 1991. Not one leg in PF and the other in UPND and busy saying you the same MMD.
Its wrong for a for a Zambian future president to write chinese to STOP giving aid to Zambia
