The President Hakainde Hichilema, has demonstrated unparalleled leadership, transcending political boundaries in his support for Zambian musician Wesley Chibambo, better known as Dandy Crazy. In a heartfelt message posted on his official Facebook page, the President expressed his empathy and solidarity with Dandy Crazy’s family, fans, and friends, as well as those affected by the tragic accident. He stated:
“The family, fans, and friends of Wesley Chibambo (Dandy Krazy), are in our prayers today. Our Doctors and Nurses at the University Teaching Hospital are doing everything they can following his tragic road traffic~ accident, which sadly claimed the lives of 4 citizens. Let us keep their families in all our thoughts as we enter the new year.”
This simple yet powerful statement reflects a profound gesture of compassion, reminding us that in times of tragedy, our collective humanity should rise above political differences. The President’s words are not only a sign of his genuine concern for the well-being of Dandy Crazy, but also an example of how leadership should look during difficult moments.
It’s important to note that despite any political differences that may have existed in the past between Dandy Crazy and the current government, the President has chosen to set aside those distinctions. This is not just about one individual it’s about showing a united front as a nation. The President’s gesture speaks volumes about his commitment to the people of Zambia, regardless of their political leanings.
Dandy Crazy’s accident, caused by a reckless driver that tragically claimed the lives of four Zambians, is a stark reminder of the fragility of life. In this context, the President’s message underscores the importance of setting aside our differences, especially in moments of national mourning, and supporting one another in times of need.
By reaching out to Dandy Crazy and offering his heartfelt sympathy, the President is not only sending a message of hope to the entertainer but is also reinforcing his vision for a unified and compassionate Zambia. This moment transcends politics, showing that leadership is about responding to the needs of the people, particularly when tragedy strikes.
This is a perfect example of leadership in action one that goes beyond politics and speaks to the core of human kindness and empathy. It serves as a powerful reminder of the true spirit of Zambia: One Zambia, One Nation.
The President’s actions speak volumes, and in this moment, he has proven to be a true leader. His gesture reflects the values that we hold dear as a nation and serves as a reminder that our strength lies in our unity, compassion, and shared humanity. This is the leadership that Zambia needs, and this is the true spirit of One Zambia, One Nation.

Everybody wishes this chap well and a speedy recovery
Get thee well soon, Dandy Crazy.
It’s sad that the young man was involved in this unfortunate incident…. but calling Mr Hakainde Hichilema a true leader over this is a gross miscalculation….all our people who are dying/injured in road traffic accidents deserve sympathy regardless of who they are. Because the artists have expressed their disappointment at the inhumane comments made by somebody, the president has to jump on the bandwagon. My heart goes to all people found in this situation regardless of their status.
Crafty politician. He is just trying to jump on the popularity wagon. Anything to grasp while the ship sinks
Ba LT, this is just some basic journalism. A report is a report. It doesn’t contain editorials. You should just tell us what has happened—not start opinionating about how wise, foolish, or compassionate the action is.
Opinions are left to the editorial pages or in what you are calling columns.
Sentences like the one below arent supposed to be in a report:

True Leadership ??
i wish a journalist could ask him to name 1 song
How are some allowed to write such
Questiing true leadership
really LT
LT Moderation very questionable
@ Deja Vu, The Presidency is very petty. We know that proxies run some of his social media platforms like bena Hamasaka and now the Kenyans. Dandy Crazy is one of the artists that are despised because they compose and sing for the PF that pay them well for their works. The UPND hate those that don’t agree with them to the extent of calling others monkeys. So the expression of crocodile tears to Dandy Crazy is being celebrated as good leadership in their circles. God help us
LT POINT TAKEN
Firstly, my condolences to the deceased family and I pray for king Basaka Basaka quick recovery.
Secondly, This should be a lesson to our artists that keep us waiting for them at events. For them to first smoke and drink to get the vibes, only to perform last few minutes.
He showed leadership by visiting Crazy?
When those two young men receive police brutality, kept in holding cell for 59 days without trial, the president failed to show leadership. Selective leadership. Selective justice. Selective judicial processes. Oh, Crazy springs from SP! No wonder. However, I am still a strongest Dandy fan though.
