Zambians are fighters & have been subjected to ukulwisha since the dawn of FTJ but are always let down by you fat cats ( stupid politicians ). The worst enemy to a Zambian child are POLITICIANS period!!!! So stop these lies, you politicians and their praise singers / worshipers.. shame
While it is essential for employers to provide training to their employees, it is equally important for employees to be willing to learn, develop a professional attitude, and go the extra mile in the workplace. In return, employers should recognise and reward such employees with incentives like bonuses, which serve as motivation. This mutual approach fosters a give-and-take culture with a two-way attitude, benefiting both parties.
You are right. This has been the trend all along. Some people are not willing to learn. Most of us learned our trades at work place before going for formal training. Our friends who were busy complaining and galavanting ended up just as when they joined the company ..watching their friends becoming managers.

The President is trying but appears institutions are letting him down, this is the 4th time ZESCO power has gone this evening in a space of 1 hour and outside loadshedding. And we are in the dark even after being loadshedded from 6 in the morning.Since this appears a daily event in our area, why not put up a public notice so that we know the cause and sympathise with you for inconveniencing us on a service we pay for
Trying what? Trying to emulate fake discoverers who arrived in America and thought they were in India? He has indeed tried. Tried to avoid the presidential jet but Lungu left chitumwa in there which keeps shouting night and day “let’s just go iwe HH!”
ZESCO top management needs its marching orders
