When a nation has been deeply polarized for ages
And a President assembles a cabinet that reflects the national character, that’s Kwenyu
When university students have been robbed of bursaries and meal allowances
And a President restores the same, that’s Kwenyu
When orphans and vulnerable children have been roaming the streets
And a President reintroduces free education, that’s Kwenyu
When cadres go on rampage panel beating perceived opponents in markets and bus stations
And a President says no caderism, that’s Kwenyu
When marketeers have been struggling with limited capital on end
And a President empowers them with booster loans, that’s Kwenyu
When grisly mishaps have been the order of the day on the Ndola/Lusaka road
And a President nods construction of dual carriageway, that’s Kwenyu
When council workers have gone for many months without pay
And a President dismantles salary arrears, that’s Kwenyu
When the poor have been further impoverished by a persistent drought
And a President introduces cash for work to cushion their hardships, that’s Kwenyu
When the youth have been struggling to acquire practical skills for years on end
And a President opens a window of opportunity, that’s Kwenyu
When blackouts continue to bedevil the nation due to poor water levels at Kariba
And a President diversifies into alternative sources of energy, that’s Kwenyu
Rest assured many more Kwenyus are blinking on the horizon….
