It’s a shame that some names amongst our number are still swamped in the mistaken belief that been Interviewed by a white man is something prestigious and something that elevates a black mans standing. So to them , missing a BBC interview makes you a political failure and attending it makes you a Political Messiah
From where I see things, it seems that our collective stupidity is driving us to the brink of catastrophe. This makes me think that we should develop our collective intelligence — and soon. We need ways to better reflect together, to develop positive responses to our shared circumstances, and to co-create our common future. The bad news is that our adversarial, fragmentary political culture actually impedes us in these efforts. The good news is that tools exist which, if we use them well, could move us beyond the stupifying dynamics of our political culture.

What was so important about the president leaving his schedule just to go and feature on BBC? what’s so special about BBC? compared to his already made program?
I strongly believe that we do have competent journalist in this country who can handle a high profile interviews, besides, a local journalist who is living and experiencing the economic challenges will be in a better position to interview the President.

I don’t see how missing an Interview organized by a media house with Imperialistic tendencies can amount to an Embarrassment. The BBC always attempt to amplify African problems and make situations look bleak and hopeless. Remember how their propaganda messed up Zimbabwe.
We have to stop looking for solutions from outside, and reflect correctly.
By the way, I don’t hate the BBC I just don’t like Its Editorial agenda. To put an African man down.

God Bless you all
God bless Zambia
