Let’s stop illicit mineral trade

AFRICA’S mineral wealth should be a source of prosperity, economic transformation and improved livelihoods for its people. Yet, for decades, the continent has witnessed a troubling contradiction. Despite being endowed with vast deposits of precious and critical minerals, many of its citizens remain trapped in poverty, while their natural environment continues to suffer from irresponsible […]

Time to enforce urban planning

ZAMBIA needs to give renewed attention to urban planning and the provision of decent, affordable housing as rapid urbanisation continues to put pressure on land, infrastructure and social services.

Boarding houses should comply with regulations

WE HAVE taken note of the warning by Kitwe City Council (KCC) regarding boarding houses that are overcrowded and lack adequate sanitation facilities. This scenario is certainly not unique to Kitwe – it is the prevailing situation in most urbanised towns, including Lusaka, where demand for higher education far outstrips available facilities, including student accommodation.

Elected officials must be responsive

IN A democratic society, elected officials must be responsive because the legitimacy of representative government depends on voted leaders remaining connected to the people who gave them their mandate. Winning an election is not the end of the relationship; it begins a period of continuing representation and accountability. Elected officials exercise authority on behalf of […]

Precision agriculture is the future

ZAMBIA’S agricultural future lies beneath our feet. For decades, farmers have been expected to produce more food, feed a growing population and contribute to national economic growth, often without one of the most basic pieces of information they need. What is actually in the soil they cultivate? That is beginning to change. For too long, […]

Change mind-set as we Grow Zambia

THERE is a difficult conversation Zambia needs to have about public service, and it is one that should not be reduced to the familiar complaint about salaries, staffing levels or conditions of service. At the heart of the problem is something more fundamental: our attitude towards work and the responsibility that comes with being employed […]

Crime has no hiding place

ZAMBIA is a country built on laws, and those laws are meant to protect every citizen. But too often, some people choose to ignore them, believing they can get away with crime. Whether it is corruption, theft, violence, or the misuse of cyberspace, the truth remains the same: the law will eventually catch up with […]

Peaceful democratic engagement crucial

ZAMBIA is at an important moment in its democratic journey, and the need for peaceful, responsible and mature political engagement has never been greater. Elections inevitably generate strong emotions. Victories bring celebration while defeats can bring disappointment, anger and uncertainty. But political competition must never become a contest in which the stability and security of […]
