@LankyObserver You guys are in trouble. The last performances have given city hope in the league. I am sure they smell blood now.

Disappointing result at Southampton. Expected more from the team. Man City now set to win the FA Cup, after the Carabao Cup. Lads looked out of sorts. International break woes? Focus must shift to Bournemouth now.

@LankyObserver He is well read. Unfortunately, he is not the most talented man when it comes to oratory. He is bad.

In terms of education and a clear understanding of the issues, Fred M'membe will be the superior candidate in the August general election. If he does show up to presidential debates, the conversation will be enriched. Debates don't win elections in this country, but you try.

@ukusefya Spot on. You can be a dollar millionaire from Zambia, or anywhere in Africa. Visit or stay in a developed coubtry. A cleaner in that country will think he or she is better than you.

No person is above their country in dignity. You can be brilliant as an individual but you will be treated as per your country, per your passport, per your development, per your position in the global pecking order. Just so you know.

@lumbiwe99 @LankyObserver If Israel took over Iranian airspace in 2 days, why have they enlisted American help this time around?

@LankyObserver The same Iran that lost their airspace to Israel in the 12 day war?😂😂😂

Not that simple. Iran has strong military capabilities. What happened with the Taliban in Afghanistan? 20 years there, failed to defeat them.

@LankyObserver He is Chelsea player. Came out of the Arsenal academy yes. And that's it.

Cesc Fabregas owns Cesc Fabregas.

@Malik_ZMB Anyone who doesn't agree with my opinion is aligned with the other camp. Myopic thinking.

I knew he was an industry plant from day 1.

@briansimasiku They can't do anything in Zimbabwe. ZANU PF is brutal. They don't have a voice there. So they use other countries to vent.

While Zimbabweans 🇿🇼 have so much to say about other countries governance, their own cabinet quietly sneaked in a draft bill to amend the constitution in ways that would extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s tenure of office. 👇

@lungowepatricks @Efyakimora 😄 🤣 😂 😆

@Efyakimora Malaho meaning shining star 🌟

Give me a Zambian name before I go 😀

@martin_xavier_0 @ukusefya It's there. It's the reason why a lot of opposition MPs stayed "loyal". Lol I think a lot will happen after parliament is dissolved.

@Mwanakaaba @ukusefya What? There is a clause like this in the constitution? All along I was thinking it's loyalty to the party 😂

Remind me again why PF base remains intact, thriving, and indestructible, five years on, despite leadership vacuum and chaos?

@ukusefya *beneficial to opposition political parties. We will have a clearer picture of the dissolution of parliament.

@ukusefya The 2016 constitution changed the political landscape. MPs crossing the flow now means losing the seat and being barred from re-contesting the same seat. This has been very beneficial to opposition MPs. We will have a clear

@mutapa_hungwe @zeustheman05 @Takunachola No. Those Tongas in Zimbabwe are Zimbabweans. Tongas have lived on the banks of the Zambezi for centuries, before colonialism. When these modern borders were created, they were split. Some in Zim others in Zambia.

Twitter, wait till u find out it has a public health care system that even caters to Zimbabweans at no cost. We looked after a Zim baby with hydrocephalus, coz your advanced country neglected her, stayed here ate free food. Focus on that,while Chivanyo flaunts his wealth.

@joseph_kalimbwe Or Tanzanians, and all other Africans countries, to deal with their problems on their own.

Sweden has withdrawn aid to Tanzania. They and many EU Embassies released a statement condemning the killing of innocent Tanzanians. Since we like saying "African solutions to African problems", its time for Uganda or Sudan to step in, fill the gap and provide aid to Tanzania !

@LankyObserver Which mean Slot remains on the job. It's wither Mo leaves or Slot moves.

Mo Salah's time at Liverpool is over. Hard to see how his place remains tenable now. Great servant for the club, which should give him a respectful send-off, however unforunate its circumstances. He's been unbelievable for them over the last few seasons.

@ssishuwa I get your point. However, how come HH's alleged tribalism is different from Lungu's. Both were(are) accused of practicing tribalism. How come Lungu's tribalism cannot lead to Zambians finding it difficult to vote for anather Nsenga for president?

Hakainde Hichilema may well be the first and last Tonga-speaking President of Zambia we will see in our lifetime because he has taught the other groups a lesson in proper ethnic entrenchment and exclusion.

Maybe it's an unattainable ideal for humans at this current moment in this human journey. Because I am yet to see true freedom of speech anywhere on earth. Humans are generally biased and intolerant, I have observed.

Lots of Zambians think they believe in freedom of speech, but they really don't. They believe in freedom of speech they agree with.

@ssishuwa They don't toe my line on this constitutional amendment bill therefore they are spineless. How dare they not agree with the great Sishuwa S.

What do ministers in Hichilema’s Cabinet really stand for? By Sishuwa Sishuwa Isn't there even just ONE minister in the current Cabinet of Zambia who can come out in the public to say, “I do not agree with Bill 7, and I am stepping down”? As the Parliamentary Select Committee that has been appointed by the Speaker of the National Assembly to scrutinise the outlawed Constitution of Zambia Amendment Bill Number 7 of 2025 starts its sittings today ahead of debate and voting next week Tuesday, my thoughts are drawn to the calibre of ministers the country has had in the past. In the 1990s, Zambia had a vice-president and ministers – Akashambatwa Mbikusita-Lewanika, Baldwin Nkumbula, Ludwig Sondashi, Dipak Pael, Simon Zukas, Rodger Chongwe etc. – who all resigned on principle when Cabinet made decisions they did not agree with. In the early 2000s, Zambia had a vice-president and ministers – Godfrey Miyanda, Edith Nawakwi, Vincent Malambo, Ackson Sejani, Wiliam Harrington, Dawson Lupunga, Suresh Desai, Samuel Miyanda, Syamukayumbu Syamujaye etc. – who openly differed with the president in defense of the Constitution from executive manipulation. What has happened to our value system? Is the current crop of ministers so lacking in principle that none among them find anything wrong with Bill 7? Or does their failure to openly support the Bill indicate their anxiety that they are about to create a monster but simply lack the courage to come out? Are they so dependent on these jobs that they cannot imagine a life outside a ministerial post? Are they so terrified by Hichilema that they cannot publicly express any view that that diverges from his position? This brings me to another point. In nearly all previous cabinets, there were one or two ministers who were generally seen as capable replacements if anything happened to the president. Such individuals were highly competent, sufficiently educated and possessed ethical values – courage, compassion and love for fellow human beings, moral force of character, basic integrity, genuine humility, honesty, a predilection for consultation, consensus-building, communication, co-operation, active listening, and the selfless pursuit of the public good, and not the selfish striving for personal gain. It is hardly possible to look at Hichilema’s Cabinet today without being struck by the calamity of the absence of this kind of leadership. If anything happened to Hichilema today, who, among his current ministers, can be said to possess leadership qualities that make them a ready-made replacement? Of course, the vice-president would assume office if a vacancy arose in the presidency. But that would be because of operation of law, not capacity or competence. Never has a Cabinet been so devoid of principled men and women whom the public can count on in challenging moments. If there is any minister in the current Cabinet with the courage to stand up to Hichilema in defence of principle, public interest, or the Constitution of Zambia, now would be a good time to show it.
