Political ambition alone is not enough to guarantee national development!
From blatant corruption and misrule to the glaring realities of regionalism and tribalism, it’s clear as day that President Hichilema is a failed project.
Lusaka, July 11 – Accepting reality does not mean endorsing it, but it’s the surest starting point to addressing most social and economic development challenges we are faced with. In the Bible, we see the value of facing reality head-on in the story of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32).

After squandering his inheritance and hitting rock bottom, the prodigal son does not continue to deceive himself. Instead, he accepts his dire situation and decides to return home, where he is ultimately welcomed with open arms. This acceptance of his reality is what sets him on the path to redemption and restoration.
Similarly, by acknowledging and accepting the reality of our social and economic issues, we lay the groundwork for genuine solutions and progress. Ignoring or denying these realities only serves to perpetuate problems, while acceptance empowers us to take actionable steps towards improvement and change.
From blatant corruption and misrule to the glaring realities of regionalism and tribalism, it’s clear as day that President Hichilema is a failed project. Yet, we’re foolish enough to expect things to improve. We must be a special kind of intelligent people to keep believing in this pipe dream.
