A list of names on a memorial wall is good and commendable but what African governments ought to do more is to bring names of heroes listed on the wall to life by sponsoring movies.

That's what makes people in the Western world patriotic about their countries - it's because they have watched movies about their heroes.

Movies do something special to people's hearts and memories than only a list of names on a wall. Both a needed - movies and memorial walls.

Kembo Tours Zambia’s Liberation Sites, Describes Zambia-Zimbabwe Relationship as “Written in Blood”

By Bakwetu Reporter

Zimbabwean Vice President Hon. Kembo Mohadi has toured Zambia’s key liberation heritage sites. The tour paid tribute to the shared sacrifices in the fight against colonial rule.

According to a press release from Ministry of Tourism Principal Public Relations Officer Nelly Banda, the visit included sites central to both nations' histories.

Standing inside the former home of Zimbabwean liberation leader Herbert Chitepo, Vice President Mohadi spoke about the deep bond between Zambia and Zimbabwe.

“Our relationship is written in blood. We are so united that our blood is here on Zambian soil.”

The tour included Chilenje House 394, where Zambia’s founding father Kenneth Kaunda lived. It also covered the Nampundwe and Chikumbi sites of colonial-era mass killings.

Mr. Kagosi Mwamulowe, Acting Executive Director of the National Heritage Conservation Commission (NHCC), highlighted ongoing preservation work.

He revealed that over 60 liberation sites have been identified across Zambia.

“The NHCC has commenced preliminary assessments to secure National Monument status for their protection,” Mwamulowe said.

When leaders steal, oppress and misbehave, obviously it's a big problem for citizens but it's also a big problem for the next party that comes into power because it diminishes the chances for dialogue, corperation and reconciliation - tools for progress.

The big problem about former leaders in the PF regime is that the theft and misconduct was excessive, which has made it virtually impossible for UPND and PF to dialogue over other unrelated political differences and economic solutions.

Impressive. But let them just do it openly, no need to do it as an alias as that raises transparency and fairness related questions that can otherwise be avoided. They can still be protected if they train openly. Even the sons of KK and King Charles did it openly. It's no problem.

PROSECUTORS WANT JOSEPH KABILA HANGED TO DEATH

The Democratic Republic of Congo’s public prosecutor has called for the death penalty for former President Joseph Kabila, who is being tried in absentia for treason, war crimes, and supporting the M23 rebel group.Kabila, who ruled from 2001 to 2019 after the assassination of his father, Laurent Kabila, is accused of backing Rwanda-linked rebels who have seized key cities in eastern Congo. The government revoked his lifetime senatorial immunity in May. The prosecution also seeks a 20-year sentence for war crimes and 15 years for conspiracy. Kabila returned briefly from exile in April, appearing in rebel-held Goma, but his whereabouts are now unknown. His allies dismiss the case as politically motivated.

Our society is just too toxic on everyone, I see it everyday within and across social media. My advise to all those entering politics, sports, music, acting or any skill or specialty is - just do it and learn how to ignore the naysayers. Don't forget, in Zambia you can have people who do nothing at all, but they look down on those who are at least trying to do something, it's very strange.

As for me, I'm working on inspiring the current and the in-coming generation of Zambians to think positively, constructively, networking and being supportive of each other. That is the only way to develop. We must form groups and support each other's businesses, thats how our friends, the foreigners in Zambia succeed ✅

I'll use political reconciliation as a vehicle for fighting corruption. But it is also very important for any president to distance himself as much as possible from the workings of the judiciary. And we need to promote reading culture among the electorate.

Ask yourself, how did Mwanawasa, a lawyer and fierce advocate against corruption, fail to beat corruption in Zambia once and for all?
My point is it's not enough to hate corruption. Corruption flows through osmosis or like smoke.
