Heart to Heart

Yesterday ,21st October, I attended a zambian function to celebrate the independence day. we paid 15 ponunds to see the Zambian artists who are apparently doing well in zed . we got to the function which was meant to start at 8-3am and guess what there was no artist and everyone looked so pensive. I knew from the faces ,there was trouble I almost thought of telling these guys to say these artists had falllen ill or something just to appear to be in control, on the other hand am asking myself why cant i just be this cool person doing my job and not involving my self in patriotic ventures, then of course my up bringing comes in play, almost miraculously i hear my dad saying you can never change who you are, thats crazy am thinking, but then the spirit in me really makes me feel sad for thiese guys who am supposed to persecute for luck of organisation skills in this time and age, because I actually feel they dont trust any of us to help them do a good job yet we persecute them to the letter. anyway it was the so called independece celebration and though not perceved as such even by the organisers we really are zambians at heart and are willing to help even though it may be spiritually for the coz. am sure the learning curve has its course and lessons are being learnt as we speak thank God am sure the manchester people dont read blogs but for my self the Venue was cool the arrangement pathetic so keep it up and please LEARN thats for the ZACOMA!!! zambian bla bla of manchester!!!

Zambia goes to the Polls


I have not been on the blog for over six months, thats because I have been writing a book ,trying to publish a newsletter working in the hospital and trying to be a good mum.
beeing a good mum I think is most challenging especially if youre teaching a child how to write when you spend loads of time creating words ,well in the processing am learning too. any way back to the point my country will be electing a president in a few days time.
we have various candidates but ild really only talk about three the present president Mr mwanawasa.Micheal Sata and Hichilema.
If the educated people held the vote am sure wed vote for hichilema because hes got a good cv he looks the part and hed make us feel like we the fluent are running the show as usual.
but then we have mr mwanawasa too. personally I dont have anything against him under the circumstances hes done hes best and zambia is still the peace full place we know.
chilufya sata some say hes a dictator , hes rugged and not ideal for international policies etc
the grass root voters dont need the degrees, they need Inspiration and that he can give them we all know if he goes in power the cleaners in UTH will add more chlorine to the water to disinfect.
so given these circumstances what is best for the zambian people.
lets talk about the plunderes of the zambian wealth.
at present we dont have proof we only hav hear say and money ranging form a few millions to billions stolen.
the lawyer (mwanawasa has had trouble with this)
so were do we go.
Kaunda says sata is not a good candidate no doubt he came in as governor in his goverment so at the time am sure he had alot to change.
As zambians id hope wed have some one in office who would really inspire us from the comfort zone were we have all packed our selves to the platform of work. the true promise is better health can only get to our footsteps if we work hard .
and value one anothers lives and welfare.
we have to learn from kaundas triumphs of one zambia one nation and from trying to learn why his economics failed.we have to learn from the dream chiluba had of privatisation and understand why the failures happened.
we have to learn from mwanawasa honesy on bringing people to justice who have stolen and try to learn why prosecuting people has become a cat and mouse game wasting taxpayers money.
so from me may the Best one win or if they dont, atleast learn from who ever was meant to be once in office.
