The UN Convention on Corruption
Jubilee Centre November 3rd, 2009
The UN call for the convention on corruption later this month presupposes that each country in the world has a legal authority power that is exercised through legally defined structures for the good of a nation. In Zambia, on the Supreme Court lawns we have a statue of a woman standing with her eyes blindfolded […]
Honouring Oliver Tambo
Jubilee Centre October 26th, 2009
“Who is Oliver Tambo and why was he honoured on Zambia’s Independence Day?” asked my ten year old son who is currently completing grade 4. I asked him to pass the question to his grade nine brother who is 13 years old. His brother responded that he only knew of Tambo International Airport in South […]
Celebrating Independence
Jubilee Centre October 21st, 2009
On 24th October we will be celebrating Zambia’s 45th Independence. But if we are sincere we will confess that we are not in control of our nation. Other nations and people dominate our economy and politics. Our mismanagement of the economy has played right into the hands of these nations who now dictate our […]
Contending for the Faith in the Public Arena
Jubilee Centre October 12th, 2009
The main reason people in the USA greatly value freedom is because freedom is often accompanied by innovation, hardwork, and willingness to stand for what is right. However, when freedom is taken to the extreme the downside is a manifestation of selfishness and greediness which ultimately harm and hinder others.
In a way one wonders whether […]
Fixed Mindset
Jubilee Centre September 30th, 2009
Most ordinary Zambians have fixed mindset. When you ask most people what they feel about the Rupiah Banda Capital deal, or Chiluba’s acquittal or lack of leadership at political level, this is what they say: “This is who we are.” “Why should I be concerned? I won’t change anything.” “I am a born loser.” “Zambia […]
What is the Church?
Jubilee Centre September 7th, 2009
The mid point review of the impact of HIV and AIDS on all the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) has revealed that HIV and AIDS is complicating Zambia’s efforts to meet the MDGs. The report from 1990 to 2008 shows that HIV and AIDS had devastating effects on all aspects of life (see the Post, Saturday […]
Chiluba’s Acquittal
Jubilee Centre September 1st, 2009
There is something wrong with the way the justice system works in Zambia. How do you prosecute a theft case of $500,000 for eight years? Justice is not being served in our nation. We just heard of similar cases in UK of British MPs who were abusing parliamentary privileges. Their cases took weeks and those […]
It Takes a Church
Jubilee Centre August 25th, 2009
There is an old African proverb that has been making the rounds for many years: “It takes a village to raise a child.” Its message is clear: The whole village is in this together, to raise a child with care, love and compassion so that traditions and morals that set the course for the future […]
Pointing Fingers
Jubilee Centre August 19th, 2009
The easiest way to walk out of a problem is to “point fingers and pin the blame for these problems on others”, said President Obama of USA in a speech to Ghana Parliament a few months ago. This is so true for our nation. Recently, in our Parliament the Minister of Information put blame on […]
Fighting Poverty-Church is the Hope
Jubilee Centre August 12th, 2009
Giving aid to Africa to rebuild viable economy is not the answer to Africa’s poverty solution but fair trade said Andrew Rugasira a Ugandan coffee entrepreneur recently at the Willow Creek Leadership Summit. Micah Challenge a world wide Christian movement against poverty of which I am passionately involved would not agree any less. Since its […]
For the Peace of our Nation
Jubilee Centre August 4th, 2009
Heritage Party President Brigadier General Godfrey Miyanda stated in the Post recently that Zambia is headed for destruction. He said, “President Rupiah Banda has opened wide the door to Zambian bedroom for a few pieces of silver and that at this rate there would soon be no Zambia.” Another political leader, Edith Nawakwi, President of […]
