A truth harder to swallow

Hichilema

He is a family man, an economist, a rancher, a farmer, an investment manager, an investor, a butcher, has executive experience and exposure to hospitality, real estate and food industry. This vast experience cannot come by accident but by hard work. For one to have such a portfolio, free of shoddiness, it takes talent and integrity. This diverse skill set is the kind which can offer real leadership for Zambia. Where a president will delegate with a clear goal and supervise with an educated control. This is a reputation some cheap minded simpletons want to reduce using smear campaigns. The one they compare to, is a person who spent more time on casino tables than boardroom tables. I can’t 100% trust the talented guy but I have seen worse. I have seen widows swindled, the innocent chained, the sick shackled and the mourners hacked. I have seen leadership that watches on as brother turn against brother. A leader who claims to be a listener but when he opens his mouth, he is talking at people instead of talking to them. He knows his followers through the whispers of his henchmen, he fights dissent harder than he fights corruption. He has more dance moves than policies. Press conferences depend on his mood alone and not that of the people. You know him don’t pretend that you dont. The brave are inspired by success and the cowards call it satanism. The truth is hard to swallow, but when swallowed the stomach stops rumbling. Why are we teaching our children bad manners of supporting dancers and chancers. The late Sata died disappointed and having called these rascals useless MPs. They are chancers who rode on Sata popularity and they are dancers who just want the supporters to be sloganeering, puppeteering and electioneering whilst they get rich. Politician are nothing but actors and orators, its stupid to love any kind of politician. Politicians work when they are afraid to lose power, not when you defend them like your lives depended on it.
