Editor’s Note

Issue 3 of The Global Zambian Magazine has been a great and insightful work of art, and this insert is an added bonus to the relaunch of the jam packed issue. I cannot thank God enough for this wonderful opportunity to share one of my passions with the rest of the world, and The Global Zambian provides me with the opportunity to create a cross culture platform and introduce a wider audience to the people of Zambia. “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” – Matthew 6:21 Designed to be light hearted whilst putting out great messages of inspiration and act as a voice our leaders can hear; I believe the citizens of Zambia need to be heard more in order to affect sustainable growth for the country; and what better way than through a platform that has a readership spanning across all the continents of the world, and read by over 30 countries; which is the fortunate position The Global Zambian Magazine is in.

Alongside the serious questions on load shedding and the future of Zambia, it was fun reading the jokes and embarrassing moments of your favourite personalities. All of them unique in their approach and response to the questions set out; however

what inspired my choice for the cover was due to my love for laughter, and Jason Kruger had me in stitches from the get go whilst still maintaining to be extremely informative. This is not to take away from the remaining personalities whose contributions I am grateful for, Chilu Lemba, Kandi Siame, Paul Da Prince, DJ Len, Ruff Kaida, Princess Jazz, The Holstar, Cleo Ice Queen, B-Flow, Dambisa, Jay Rox, Nyemba and Kapa.

This will definitely be a fun and interesting read for fans and supporters of the personalities featured, you have answers to possibly some of the questions I am sure you have always wanted to ask, and with every other page we offer you a little Zambian fact in commemoration of the 51 years of independence Zambia is celebrating.

This insert is a part of the full issue 3 of The Global Zambian Magazine and is also available with the main magazine, so please enjoy this little treat, and thank you for your ongoing support of this publication and its future.

With Thanks and blessings

2.

Current occupation: Media practitioner

3.

Aside from your occupation, what else do you do/work in/on? The work I do encompasses various media and communication related roles such as voiceover work, consulting, music and public speaking. So it’s a broad spectrum as is.

4.

Current location: Johannesburg, South Africa

5.

Your Tribe(s): A mix of Bemba and Lozi. Additionally, my later mothers’ maternal side is from the Eastern Province 6.

Zambian languages you speak: Nyanja and Bemba

7.

Your favourite Zambian tourist destination: Changwena Falls, Central Province. I’ve only been there once. Beautiful, picturesque location. It’s not easily accessible unfortunately 8.

Your favourite Zambian food/dish; how is it made or where can it be found? Ifinkubala.

Abundant countrywide. I think you soak those little suckers then fry them; including tomato and onion in the mix. I’ve never had to cook them myself 9.

Your most embarrassing moment: None that I can think of.

10. What English word do you struggle to pronounce? None actually. When in doubt there’s always www.howjsay.com 11.

What Zambian language word do you struggle to pronounce? None that I can think of

Have you done any charity work in aid of the needy in Zambia, and when was the last time you did and for which charity? The last time I can think of is when my wife and I gave a bunch of good clothing items to an orphanage in Lusaka not too long ago. I’ve also been involved in helping up-skill some colleagues in media over the years by investing my time and resources.

15. What fact do you know about Zambia that you think the public are unaware of? Tough question. Perhaps young Zambians may not know that James Brown and Harry Belafonte visited Zambia in the 70’s. Vernon Mwanga hooked it up. In today’s terms that’s possibly something like Usher and Jamie Foxx coming through. It was major.

SPECIAL EDITION ISSUE 3 INSERT

16. What do you love the most about Zambia? Zambia is home. I love the warm and fuzzy feeling it gives me. I have many deep rooted foundational memories linked to Zambia.

17. What do you loathe the most about Zambia? How we don’t strive hard enough for excellence in many areas. I’m generalizing. It’s sometimes small things such as typos and bad grammar on newspaper headlines for example. Press releases from senior officials who can’t tell the difference between the word excellence and Excellency when referring to our head of state.

18. What historical fact do you know about Zambia’s journey towards independence? What comes to mind is how His Excellency Dr. Kenneth Kaunda became a vegetarian on principle - based on the undignified manner that non-whites were sold meat at butcheries. He’s been vegetarian since.

19. Zambia got its independence on October 24th 1964; name one major event around the world that took place the same year? None comes to mind. Don’t make me Google.

20. Favourite past time: Reading: books, online articles, magazines and all 21. Tell us your favourite joke (not dirty): I don’t have a favourite joke.

Jokes typed out aren’t as funny as those narrated live. I use gestures a lot when I share jokes, as those that have seen me MC events will attest to.

22.

Your worst habit: Best an-

swered by my wife. LOL. 23. What has impressed you the most in Zambia’s development since independence in 1964? Many amazing entrepreneurs have emerged.

24. Your hope for Zambia in the next 10 years: That more of those who are aspiring to become lawmakers

will equip themselves academically prior to making themselves available to serve the country. We need to get education right. I just learned the other day that the most expensive building in Africa is in Egypt, and guess what? It’s a library!

25. Load shedding; what solution would you suggest the government implement? I won’t pretend to be best suited to answer this question.

I’ve visited a few countries this year and found similar problems in Ghana, Tanzania and I think Kenya. Even South Africa has had load shedding implemented quite intensely. Renewable or nuclear energy could be the future but I haven’t adequately applied my mind on this matter to

say for sure. Banks in these regions are giving loans to individuals to buy generators on easy terms. For now that’s as good as it gets.

26.

What do you think Zambia is lacking in aid of development? Insert NAREP manifesto here

27.

What solution would you offer for this? Refer to answer in question 27

28. Favourite quote: “If you have no confidence you are twice defeated in the race of life but with confidence you have won even before you’ve started” - Marcus Garvey 29. Your social media links: FB, Instagram, Twitter, website: All @chilulemba 30. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Hopefully less in the spotlight; more behind the scenes 31. What was the last thing that made you laugh so much you cried?

I laugh a lot but not to the extent that I cry 32. What would you like to plug (promote)?

Visit chilulemba.com 33. Lastly; any wise words you would like to share?

Stay authentic. Keep motivated to be a better human being. Be wary of folks telling you “You’ve arrived”

15. Have you done any charity work in aid of the needy in Zambia, and when was the last time you did and for which charity?

No I have not done any charity work . It is something I have been meaning to do , but just having got around to doing.

16. What fact do you know about Zambia that you think the public are unaware of?

That Zambia is the land of opportunity!

There is so much people can do in Zambia to make a great living for themselves and their families. All that one needs to do is think outside the box, and seize the countless opportunities that are out there.

17. What do you love the most about Zambia?

I love the peace that we have in Zambia.

That is something we should thank God for and never take for granted.

18. What do you loathe the most about Zambia?

The dependency syndrome. Every one waiting for the “government” to solve all their problems.

19. What historical fact do you know about Zambia’s journey towards independence?

The date of Zambia’s independence was actually guaranteed by the Parliament of the UK under the Zambia Independence Act of 1964 Chapter 5, which granted independence to the former protectorate of Northern Rhodesia with effect from October 24, 1964.

20. Zambia got its independence on Oc-

SPECIAL EDITION Q&A | KAPA KAUMBA time .

22. Tell us your favourite joke (not dirty): What do you call a black guy that flies planes ? .....

A pilot!! You racist , LOL 23. Your worst habit: I think procrastination would be a bad habit I have.

I sometimes leave things to the last minute, telling myself that “I work better under pressure”.

24. What has impressed you the most in Zambia’s development since independence in 1964?

Zambia still has long way to go in terms of development. To put this in perspective . In 1964 Zambia and Malaysia were at the same level. Fast forward to 2015 and its like Malaysia is light-years ahead of us . So I guess the impressive part would be the peace and democracy we enjoy.

27. What do you think Zambia is lacking in aid of development?

What is lacking is implementation. So many good ideas are thrown around but they all remain on paper.

28. What solution would you offer for this?

The powers that be ,and the ordinary citizens need to stop talking and start acting . We may have big dreams for this country, but it’s time to wake up and achieve those dreams. We also need to hold our leaders accountable. If they promise to do something, we should demand that it gets done in a timely manner.

26. Load shedding; what solution would you suggest the government implement?

The best solution is long term planning. We shouldn’t wait for disaster to strike, then start scrambling around for solutions. We need to invest heavily in all forms of power generation, hydro , geo-thermo , solar, and others . A situation like this should never happen again.

w zai ith

25. Your hope for Zambia in the next 10 years: In 10 years I hope to see Zambia moving towards being a middle income country. Hopefully by then we will not be so dependant on foreign countries , we as Zambians should be able to control our own destiny. “Zambia will be developed by Zambians”

29. Favourite quote: “If you change the rules on what controls you, you will change the rules on what you can control” 30. Let’s test your social skills: Take a selfie with a stranger and ask them what they have planned for Christmas (provide us with their name, social media handle, the answer they give you and the selfie you take with them): I’m not one to talk to random strangers , so here is a selfie with my girlfriend Kudzai Mwanza .

31. Your social media links: FB, Instagram, Twitter, website: On instagram and twitter Kapa187 , Website : lusakatimes.com/entertainment

32. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

As I get more and more into body building, I see myself competing for fitness competitions such as Mr Zambia. I have many other things I want to achieve, but as at now, the body building one is something I am striving for. I may be far from achieving it, but you need to set high goals for yourself. Never settle for less than what you deserve.

33. What was the last thing that made you laugh so much you cried?

It must be watching one of my favorite sitcoms, Brooklyn nine-nine. That show is so hilarious.

34. What would you like to plug (promote)?

I would like everyone to take some time to visit Lusakatimes.com and check out the entertainment section. We have exclusive interviews and movie reviews done by me, as well as latest music videos, entertainment news, a food column and much more.

35. Lastly; any wise words you would like to share?

In life you must always look at the positive side of any situation. You may not be where you want to be, but thank God for want you have and have faith that he will continue to bless you.

Ans: Yes I have, I usually help out with 16. What fact do you know about Zambia that you think the public are unaware of?

Ans: The richness of the country. Zambia is endowed with a lot of natural resources and unfortunately because of the centralised system of governance, people don’t see the beauty and richness of the country. All the activity and people are centred in Lusaka and the copper-belt because of this centralised system of governance. But with a decentralized system of governance, people will be able to see and appreciate the vastness and richness of the country.

Ans: Infrastructure development in Zambia is one of the things that have impressed me the most but above all it’s the peace in Zambia.

From the time of independence in 1964, Zambia has known no war. That’s a great milestone that’s worth to be celebrated. And also, in as much as Zambia is a developing country, it has a fast growing economy.

25. Your hope for Zambia in the next 10 years: Ans: I hope to see change in the affairs of the young people of Zambia. I would love to see them more empowered in terms of skills, education, employment and business opportunities. In this light government should try and make education as accessible as possible to the young people of this nation by coming up with policies that will deliberately favour young people to access education. And because government cannot hire everyone, government should at-least also strive to make the business environment conducive and favourable for young people to do business.

Youth empowerment schemes for example would also be a good idea. Government can also make it possible for young people to have access to loans on reduced tax rates.

26. Load shedding; what solution would you suggest the government implement?

Ans: The government should look for other alternatives to this problem. Solar energy could be the way to. Government can also look to other alternatives such as bio-energy.

SPECIAL EDITION ISSUE 3 INSERT

Ans: Zambia is lacking leadership. Unfortunately the leadership leaves much to be desired. Most of the leaders do not have the interest of the people at heart but are only interested in their own selfish needs at the expense of the majority of the Zambians.

Zambia needs leaders that will drive and inspire the next generation.

28. What solution would you offer for this?

Ans: Empower the next generation of young people, they are not the leaders of tomorrow as they say but the leaders of today and besides the youth make up at-least 60% of Zambia’s population, and that’s so much energy worth tapping into. They have the energy, all they need is to be empowered.

29. Favourite quote: Ans: Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world – Nelson Mandela.

30. Your social media links: FB, Instagram, Twitter, website: Ans: FB-DJ Len Zambia, Twitter - @DJLenZambia 31. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

So in 10 years I see myself at the helm of my business empire.

32. What was the last thing that made you laugh so much you cried?

Ans: I saw a clip on YouTube about a small new car that runs on “fart” instead of the conventional gas, or electricity that other vehicles run with, this car runs on the drivers “fart”. If the driver can’t fart enough to fill it up, there are special filling stations which have these huge guys ready to fart in your car at the filling station. Lol 33. What would you like to plug (promote)?
