Lusaka, July 4 – Who elevated Mr. Hichilema to the level he does not belong to? Whatever the case, when small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set! Technically speaking, Mr. Hichilema is merely a shadow of what was expected of him.

As Woodpecker’s Digest, there’s need to offer our people an opportunity to understand who Mr. Hichilema truly is by focusing on issues that matter to them in the most sincere manner possible befitting the position of Head of State. Those around him must equally advise him that the office he occupies is not meant for clowns.

But such topics are not palatable to his ears as his campaign funds come from international mining conglomerates.
