President Hakainde Hichilema has challenged Zambians to invest in knowledge of the sort of business they are involved in if they are to prosper in their undertakings.

  1. Mr President! Thank you. Knowledge is the new Global Currency.

    Please continue on this Knowledge Song, time after time. It’s what will lift Zambia. The world is paying millions of dollars to people who have the knowledge and creative minds. The difference between western nations and poor nations comes down to Knowledge. Western nations export knowledge and make $ billions of dollars out of it. Also, without forgetting that – it requires tapping into the Imagination which encircles the universe and is more powerful than knowledge. And without imaginations there will never be knowledge.

    The Good Book says: Without Knowledge My People Will Perish.

  2. In Zambia we have a lot of educated people looking for employment..they are just roaming the streets..I thought someone was going to say that they are working towards industrialization, Agricultural, suspending to tax holiday on mines, We are still waiting for nurses recruitment iam sure even month May will finish… Liars will not inherit the kingdom of Jehovah God. Some people not been truthful is in their DNA..
