Lungu during labour day celebrations
These celebration turn out to be what they were initially not designed to have been.
They are a sham
Thanks

Labour Minister Joyce Nonde’s cheeks seem to be full of something all the time, why? …
But Mushota!!!!!!
Again; I agree with #Mushota; these celebrations are a sham;
Do you see why our way of doing things have never evolved or changed for the better in Zambia? We continue to live in the past. The match past nonsense was created out of the socialism/ communism, dressed up as humanism. Zambian minds lack dynamism and real creativity. In a nutshell, we abhor hard work and our leaders are showing us nothing different. Doesn’t it all look misplaced, workers in uniform,suits and ordinary wear swinging their arms military style….quite ridiculous.
Good point
Extremely ridiculous. As in what’s the point in this none sense marching ???
Gone are the days when ZCTU Presidents were household names, not anymore. They’re just a compromised bunch. Do these unions even serve their intended purposes?
Trades unions today are a shell of their past, the reason is simple. Most companies are in private hands where trade unions are seen as enemies of progress. You have to stiffen the labour laws for the new company owners( investors) to respect the nation’s work force, otherwise these trade unions will remain rubber stamps for a very long time to come.
Why is even honouring a person is “wrong” to some tribes?
