Even in the corrupt MMD government, Magande was smart. He is welcome in office and expected to stretch a mile in this new government.

Magande is hardworking and inteligent, with vast experience in financial issues. He will bring to BOZ a huge wealth of experience that will benefit ur country. Remember, as finace minister in Mwanawasa Govt, they were able to score highly on the Zambian Economy. I would urge PF to consider him for this position.

He left one person who wanted him as political advisor to take care of a million Zambians that appreciate what he did as minister of finance.

Gentlemen, if we want Zambia to develop, we should not look at our sir names but at One Zambia One Nation. Lets not involve tribalism in our thinking or else we shall not go anywhere. If Magande is appointed BOG I have no problem. This will be good. But the question we should ask him is. What happens to his party. This is why from the beginning we asked him to join PF instead of making a kama small party.

This is Great. Kwacha will definitely improve and stabilize. Magande is worth the Appointment!
Talking tribes in this time and error in Zambia is just a display of shear primitivity.

From my point of view, Magande should not be ignored if He suggests certain economic sectors like Aviation should be protected and supported. The Open skies(Thighs) Policy that People are supporting so blindly is applied so reservedly in countries that are concerned about the Job security of their Citizens and survival of their indigenous companies.
Time to wake up Zambia, Let Zambians spend money on companies that will retain the Dollar here!

Magande is the one who was giving orders to state institutions to give loans to or not to collect taxes/levies from the failed Zambian Airways. He was behaving like village tyrant. Not at BOZ pleaaaaase! He was just a minister for that matter, what more as a president?

Magande is well seasoned, I just feel he is a muselela kwakaba; remember he wanted to be President as well??? What we should be saying in this forum is that ZAMBIA is for ZAMBIANS. The world is giving us HIGH FIVES for having a white VP. If this can happen of which none of you guys have I heard you complaining. So what wrong with having a Tonga as Bank Governor. I know Zambians to be proud but most pipo are reducing themselves to be ridiculed for nothing. As far as I know, any ZAMBIAN can be a Leader. I hate to say this, but at one time I said a Bemba can never be President but look around, not far and give me the name of the president. We are civilised bunch and lets act as such. Dora fye eufwile ukuya, whether she is MMD or ZNBC Broadcaster, she is an embarrassment to Zambia!
