Africa-Press – Zambia. If this Govt has not realised, what a big mistake it is to summon the former First Lady 3 days before the AU, then the entire Govt system, including the President is more naive than one could ever imagine.
Summoning the immediate past Former First Lady is as good as summoning the Former President, Edgar Lungu. Therefore, it would be naive to think the Former First Lady will come alone, most probably, President Lungu will come with her. The question is, is the State ready to contain or handle the spectacle, the frenzy and all the media publicity this event will generate?
President Hichilema is already being perceived as a Western puppet who has even invited AFRICOM to set up its office in Lusaka, imagine how the African leaders, will be looking at him for harassing a former President who was more of a PanAfricanist than this perceived puppet.
They may not talk about it directly, but it will be bad for HH considering that many of the leaders don’t talk about 15 simple flats for their wives. This is nothing, and indeed it is nothing.
In any event, this case is baseless because President Lungu and the wife can’t fail to build those flats considering where they are coming from and the money they have earned over time.
President Lungu has respectfully withdrawn himself from politics but President Hichilema seems to be poking the hornets nest, and it might not be good for the latter. A lot of things are not going right in the Country starting with Fuel, commodity prices, Mobile Booths, lack of employment, etc.
President Hichilema is only surviving out of grace because we don’t have a “Sata”, or a giant like ECL, on the political scene, otherwise things would not be good for him. Anyway, in Bemba they say, “Ukwali insoke, takwafwile muntu”. Let me continue nursing my sick wife and daughter.
