*ZAMBIANS ARE NOT LAZY – THEY ARE BETRAYED*!
By Uncle Zubi
Brothers and sisters, how can a man who sits in one of the highest offices of our land, Attorney General Mulilo Kabesha, dare to call Zambians “lazy”? This is not just a careless statement—it is an insult. An insult to every farmer who wakes up before the sun to feed this nation. An insult to every mother in the market who fights through dust and heat just to raise school fees for her children. An insult to every bus driver, every conductor, every factory worker, every office worker, every student burning the midnight candle for a better future.
Zambians are not lazy! Zambians are hardworking, resilient, and determined. What Mr. Kabesha calls “laziness” is in fact the struggle of a people abandoned by their leaders, a people forced to fight for survival while those in government corridors enjoy free salaries, free fuel, free food, and free comfort—paid for by the very sweat of the citizens they mock!
This is arrogance of the highest order. It is insensitivity wrapped in privilege. How dare a man who has never gone a day without his state-funded luxuries look down on the men and women whose hard labour sustains this nation?
We must say it loud and clear: the problem is not the people of Zambia, the problem is leadership that has failed to recognize the sacrifice of its citizens! Instead of motivating the people, some leaders choose to demean them. Instead of standing with the people, they trample on their dignity.
But I declare to you today—Zambians are not lazy! Zambians are strong! Zambians are builders, survivors, and dreamers! The true laziness lies in leadership that cannot create jobs, leadership that cannot deliver opportunities, leadership that insults its own people while hiding behind privilege.
And to Mr. Kabesha, let this message ring: the Zambian people will not be demeaned. They will not be silenced. They will rise, as they have always risen, to defend their dignity and their future.
