Indiana? Come on LT, a bit more effort in your spell checking. Indaba………
it has just been clarified to be Youth Indana… l am sure the word Indaba would bring better results than the word meeting or conference. MMD once convened a youth indaba and results are there for all to see
Indiana? Or do you mean Indaba?
Probably a waste of time and money to discuss and pass resolutions that we hv heard already. Wht potential for entrepreneurship exists among these people? It’s time we took a look at what science and engineering graduates are doing in their graduation projects. Wht can we commercialize from these projects?
Indiana, Indana, Indaba and lastly Zindaba, which one is it? Where’s the editor? Don’t leave trainees all by themselves. Help the youth become good at what they do!
Indiana Jones.You need to edit your writing before you post.
While it’s a good move it’s against the de-centralization policy. Bally refused to meet the protesting doctors and teachers, my inference was that he wanted to give line Ministers to deal with those matters. After this indaba many youths will still think that they should get to him as he’s the only one that can address their needs and so they’ll keep matching to State House. It’s also not cost effective as it could’ve been cheaper to host the youths in their localities. Let’s consider this next time so that we reduce the burden on the President. Congratulations to those youths that will be in Lusaka for the first time. Please visit Parley and see how your MPs behave
A upnd cadre is the editor at lusaka times this morning. Please bare with us
It makes one laugh. This just waffling. Those 600 kids to attend this meeting, what will be the criteria for selection? #2 Maganizo please enlighten me what is there to show for the MMD kid’s Indaba?
Useless costly meetings.
Your headline is. Confusing
How is the selection of the youth for this indaba?
Yes what was the criteria for selecting those youths, do the youth groups invited represent the cross spectrum of all the Zambian youths, the marketeers, the professional but unemployed youths, the employed youths, the urban and rural youths, youths in the diaspora, youths studying abroad etc, cross spectrum of all youths, youths in college, youths at universities and youths at secondary schools etc.
Indiana is stubbornly inserted in the story because LT is a one man operation with American made computers monitoring stories on other sites. The US Computers can only identify Indiana. lifting stories and republishing them is easier than investing in human resources thatcan produce them.
Waste of time and resources. Youths don’t need countless ndabas but jobs and an enabling environment to earn a living.
Lusaka Times, is there anything in my comment that needs moderation?
You can do better than this!
