Imagine the Premium League without Manchester City,Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea Liverpool and others. Soccer will not be exciting. Even though Man City is being probed and is relegated to spectator’s status. PL won’t be the same. The same with Politics. We need HH and UPND.
We need Mass mobilisers like Mandubile, Makebi Zulu and a vehicle like the defunct NRRUP and RP, which they rode on. Spoilers like Miles Sampa and some alliance partners. Party for sale activists who are corruptly moved by money, not principles to determine predictable outcome. Political comedians. They all ensure Zambians are excited.
The competitive environment ensure democracy wins as no Party will go to sleep knowing they might lose the trophy. For me we need the checks of Mundubile and Makebi for the growth of Zambia Multi Party Democratic dispensation. Yes the people spoke through the 2 galant men of the nation. Hakainde Hichilema and Brian Mundubile. We should not kill this competitive spirit. It is good for democratic development.
Zambian people’s will should be the driving force in our political evolution. We saw the message from the people in the last elections. No one can cheat us. The people who had been spectators spoke through their votes.
We should not allow ourselves to descend to stupid political levels of Zimbabwe, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania and other low level primitive states.
Suddenly a low dark cloud cover of fear is bringing chilling air to our bones. Zambia should reject this atmosphere. Free men we stand under the flag of our land.
