If lungu had carried on as president…………
Zambia was on track to being like
Congo DR……….
Zambians are very lucky to get rid of lungu……….
Is this what you call an achievement when you promised economic development and heaven on earth. 2026 is close by. You will be shown the door.
Is this bad journalism on LT OR is it poor communication by HH? Or both??
How can the whole presidential address be reduced to just “fighting violence and caderism”.
No words about Corruption? No words on Economical Growth?
No words on what Zambians should expect in the next days?
This is so empty, who is to blame??
Only party members see caderism… PF will see Upnd violence and vice versa.
We need food on our tables not speeches.
some should work for their food instead of crying foul
Fhoolish you think when we talk about food we talk about free food. We work hard long hours just to buy a bag of mealie and here you are talking rubbish.
Violence and cadres are still there and enmass. What are we talking about? Is the president being lied to?
That’s why I said it depends on which side one is talking from… Upnd are in charge of the powers and tools so they can’t see the violence .
We’re waiting for you to arrest those that killed Bembas in Southern province in January 2015 and August 2016 after you lost elections to Edgar Chagwa Lungu.
Ba BMW, peace nanjala siviyendelana!!
Mr president you are using wrong tools to fight cadrerism , let me give you the right tools to fight this vice . 1. recreate the industry for the youths to work in , i say recreate industry because you were a part to privatisation that killed industry .2. reduce lending rates from banks so that small scale businesses can borrow money to expand their businesses to employ the youths roaming the streets .
3 pay zambian suppliers of to the government so that they can continue in their businesses with their workers .
If you cannot do this then you are just joking because cadrerism in it self is employement to the un employed youths .
