Worse still you have an Opposition Leader that used to send machete wielding hooligans to hack and beat anti-third term campaigners now becoming the front runner to lead Zambia as President after 2006. The whole Government is now in overdrive spending precious time and resources in fighting a man with a simple message of promising to make life easier and better for the ordinary Zambian to cope with the current harsh environment.
A true leader would implement those same proposals as a way to counter negative criticism. Instead the Government attacks the man rather than substance of what he is saying. Selfish ambition is the problem! Everyone in Zambia wants to be President at all costs even if for some it may mean ending up in hospital again.
Worse still is that all those surrounding the “Great Leader” are reliant on handouts and jobs for the boys and thus dare not tell the truth or advise objectively. Fellow Zambians are we going to sit still and allow our beautiful country to go through another 40 years of suffering from this level of mediocre and negative leadership? Every God fearing Zambian from all religions should take note and remember that:
“Leadership that honours GOD and which comes from the SOUL is leadership which will be effective”
How many of these so-called leaders can aspire to the above. Let us be very careful in our choice of leader otherwise we shall put our children’s future and the future of our nation in doom. It is time for all of us to take a stand and do what is right for Zambia. NO MORE INDIVIDUAL LEADERSHIP CULTS. ZAMBIA IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY INDIVIDUAL.

political leadership in zambia Felix Mkandawire | Feb 19th, 2008
I certainly agree with you on the isssue of political leadership in zambia. surely the situation has even gone from worse to worst because there is no way the same people keep on circulating in leadership positions in the same corruptable, selfish and ambitious manner.it is sad to note that tha same corrupt individuals who have tarnished the image of this country for years are still lingering around to finish off of what is left of this once great nation of ours. most of them keep on giving empty promises to electorates when it is time for elections just to fulfill their own self desires once in office. considering a large percentage of zambians are iliterate and ignorant about their rights and their need to protect the interest of their future generation, these people are the most vulnerable to politician's schemes.
in my conclusion, i honestly think we've had too much of recycled leaders even those that are aspiring offices and it is about time the youth leadership of the nation started taking lead in making a change for mother zambia before we 'poor' citizens can finally become refugees in our own country. there is a serious need of sound and moral leadership for our country that has a pure intention of divinity, integrity and a sure heart for zambia. I challenge all youths and other abled leaders to stand and make a change. WAKE UP ZAMBIA!!!
