But if you have never created a job in your own life, how will you create jobs for others? Leadership must be proven by example \u2014 by the fruit of what we have already done, not just by promises,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>Sakala believes Matero needs leaders who combine entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and people-centered leadership to drive real change and inspire confidence among constituents.<\/p>\n<p>His message of accountability and tested leadership aligns with the New Dawn government under President Hakainde Hichilema, showing that true leaders deliver impact, transparency, and results, not just promises.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Zambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
