Snapshot Of my Analysis on Politics in Zambia. Looking at what has been transpiring from the time Dr Kaunda Lost Elections in 1991 to date, We ve had Presidents, who have not really been perceived as Great intellect minds, and great scholars per se, however, like for the second republican president and the fifth republican president respectively, they had been people seen as crowd pullers, due to their charisma and a profound connection with the grass roots, the common people. Somehow this is because they didnt depend on the acquired academic knowledge per say, they instead built their dependencies on the experience they had had, and they were recognized to be in the real world with every commoner, who understood them and the language they portrayed themselves in, what i mean by language, is not the tongue in which we speak, but the expression and presentation of oneself to the people Am concentrating on the two late presidents, Presidents looking at how they quickly became crowd pullers, even when they just passed through markets, people wanted to gather around just to hear their empathetic non acrimonious Speeches, and the humor, okay now lets take a look at the other two presidents the late Dr Mwanawasa and Rupiah banda, who i may deem as Chancers, except for Dr Mwanawasa who at first Chanced, then because of his good economic policies and a passionate heart to serve and True seasoned Leadership, he quickly won the hearts of some people, however still because he did not connect, with majority poor zambians, He was not so popular. But we can say on this is that Leaders are Chosen by God. Automatically you just find favor is on your side and everyone just loves you even without any intervention. We have very few Politicians in Zambia, who have what it takes to start a political party from scratch and take it into government, because they want to come out as intellectuals and to explain their science and algebra, and social studies. They forget that it does not necessarily take school knowledge as a whole, but largely natural wisdom, plus a little academic knowledge. Let someone find a way to connect with the poor, give them promises they understand in laymans language, and empathize with them, show remorse for the dilapidated facilities and promise to renovate the country, i remember back then the late Mr Sata could buy a cob of maize at the market and eat with everyone, get in a queue and line up for fuel in times of fuel shortages, Dr Chiluba back then used to shed tears at his rallies to empathize and assure the poor majority that something would be done to better our country. Anyway much can be said but may the best Candidate in PF win, and May the Best Presidential candidate win in zambia. Also i would be happy if All the promises of our politicians would be reasonable and attainable.
