If you insist Bally “wakaso”; show us your philanthropic exploits!

From his dark days in opposition, President Hichilema has often been lampooned and caricatured as a person with ‘penguin hands’ – stingy! Curiously, non of his accusers – opposition party leaders jostling for his coveted position nor any of his bitter critics who have been peddling such a myopic narrative have shown us any evidence of their philanthropy or indeed demonstrated their kind-heartedness.

If we may put it more bluntly, have we ever seen or heard of the likes of bo Given Lubinda, Fred M’membe, Harry Kalaba, Chishala Kateka, Sean Tembo, Kelvin Bwalya Fube or any of those vocal MPs obey the will of Christ by extending a helping hand to those in need – particularly the disabled, senior citizens, orphans and widows?

There’s nothing philanthropic about spoiling ‘ma’ youth with copious amounts of alcoholic beverages at a rally; what is pleasant in the eyes of the Lord is being a father to the fatherless, a friend to the disabled and comforter of the widows etc. in practical ways!

On his part, President Hichilema rates sky high on his scoresheet in this regard. His philanthropic exploits have seen him impact our communities, profoundly. Apart from sponsoring orphans and vulnerable youths in schools, he has funded the sinking of boreholes and construction of classroom blocks and health centres. This has greatly benefited thousands of our people.

As we may recall, this past week, President Hichilema graced the graduation ceremony at ZCAS University. Unknown to many, his beloved daughter, Miyanda Hichilema, who graduated with a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) – Commercial was among the graduands.

“Over the years, as a family we have sponsored many students through ZCAS and through this university, many quietly because that’s the way we like to do it. They are not even allowed to disclose that they are under our sponsorship. Because those days, they would be victimised for being associated with the HH family, today they would be abused,” he told his audience.

Next time you want to dare open your mouth and attempt to misinform the public on the generosity of the President or therefore lack of it, show us whom you have come to their aid in any particular way in the past or indeed currently assisting.

Until next time…..

  1. What a load of dribble is this chap looking for a posting ?
    There are thousands of well wishes in this country showing compassion for the needy and less privileged
    the fact they may only give a K1 in some cases doesnt make them less inferior in any way
    Remember power is sweet and some will go to any lengths to hang on to it Does the past not reflect that ?
    Did the president not say his son would not be treated any differently in ZNS and he would not be paid there, Is that not being treated diferently ???

    • Stop smoking and cool down.Hatred is not good.Others issues its good to hold your composure and think not always being like a deranged dog.Let those who have been helped appreciate HH, something you can never do in your miserable life

  2. Ayo ma ilele yama. Read the article again….and hopefully comprehend the contents. Once you’ve done that, respond intelligently; not ayo madongodongo!

  3. He or she who comes to the aid of another person and does not blow his or her trumpet doing so is not demeaning to the one that receives help but is rather respected! The joy resides within the hearts! The author is here challenging those who at best let their mouths run rhetoric devoid of facts! Prince Bill M. Kaping’a has advised to better shut our mouths when facts do not support misinformation!

  4. Thank you to all those who gives with sincerity which in turn restores dignity to our fellow brothers and sisters. HH, your rationale approach gives us a balanced community.

    • Those that give with sincerity dont seek attention like these politicians
      Electioneering has started for some under different guises

    • Well said Pa Kitwe , others like Tikki are just seething with hatred for HH and no rational voice will be entertained .

    • @Mlevi Kachasu very correct. Tikki just shows the level of his aptitude and a lack of comprehension. One would wonder how far he went in school from his comments and retorts. The author throws a challenge to critics of HH to show us where they have helped the vulnerable. Instead Tikki thinks is political. Totally acting the way we would expect Emmanuel Mwamba behave. Spin an issue. Ba Tikki find something viable to do instead showing us how ignorant you are.

  5. @Tikki you used the phrase, “What a load of dribble ”
    The correct phrase is “a load of drivel” because it refers to senseless or nonsensical talk or writing, while “dribble” refers to a small, unsteady stream of liquid, usually saliva or liquid in sports. Although the words have related origins, “drivel” is the appropriate term to describe useless, boring, or foolish content.
    We have really had enough of your ignorant and semi-literate comments.
    You need to keep quiet.

  6. pf is grouping of thieves and tribalists. The only issue I’m seeing here is the Man himself (HH) is one you have never liked right from the time he was in opposition. Being Tonga is the only crime you hate him.Whatever good he does tribalists will always complain. They believe that presidency and the government belongs only to them. They are not ashamed of themselves, very evil people and they know this deep down their hearts, but we don’t care because they never share his vision.People like Tikki,NO brain at all,they think with tribe and majority of these thieves on this platform behind Tikki.
