My stance on this matter is bcoz of how short sighted politicians are. Those propagating it tend to believe they will benefit from it, not knowing that, Voters, being the final decision makers, can kick you out, and then you start suffering from the same problem u created!
Iyi debate yeve, ilibe ati shani.
There's nothing like, "Ndine wachipani".
Si marriage announcement where they say "Speak now or forever hold your peace".
If they are saying it, assume they are doing it.
Disagree loudly, so they know silence is not acceptance.
This one is a No.
The only thing that would definitively put an end to the debate is if President Hakainde Hichilema publicly states that he does not support the removal of term limits as President Frederick Chiluba did in 2001. Otherwise, we keep moving.

#NoThirdTerm
As a general rule:
1.Do not initiate violence in marriage.
2.When there appears a high chance that violence is due, try to de escalate.
3.If de escalation fails, leave the room until tempers cool off.
4. In a fight, target subduing rather than attacking. Or run
Dear President @HHichilema and those speaking about third term, a kind reminder on these wise words. Our newly elected leaders, concentrate on delivering, not ma "remove term limit" talks.
Ifili fye simple.
Good morning President Hakainde Hichilema (@HHichilema),
I thought it perhaps the right time to reflect on your comments just 5 years ago, immediately after you assumed office as President of the Republic of Zambia.
Appearing on a panel discussing democracy, governance and regional issues in Zambia and Africa at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C on 23 September 2021, you told the world that, "This appetite or desire to say that this one is special and they must stay in office forever breeds autocratic behaviour..."
You clearly believed that to be true.
If that was true 5 years ago, what has changed since which would persuade you to reflect on the same in a totally different way?
You articulated the governance issues in Zambia and Africa has partly to do with leaders with an appetite to extend their stay in power.
The Zambian people would like you to speak to those, particularly members of your party, agitating for the removal of the Presidential Term limit to remind them that they are promoting bad governance and autocratic behaviour.
Seconded.
I'm for G12 minim, BUT, if we were to lower it, I'd advocate a blanket Elected Officials Course.
Course Content:
All Elected positions Job description, duties, procedures
Ethics
National budget prep & execution.
Govt service provision machinery
Macro+micro econ.
etc
100%. In 10 to 20 yrs time, he will want to be President, and an Old umufyashi will refuse to leave the post until Nsama himself is old and senile. Lol.
I agree.
It could actually be the reason why ECL lost.
Let HH and UPND concentrate on delivering first, and preparing a successor.
At the start, ati: "If you look at countries like Canada, UK, and Australia, they do not have term limits, but they are beacons of democracy"
A few moments later, "We should define our own democracy. We shouldn't just copy and pa..."
Me:
Ummm... Dear President @HHichilema, could you please put an end to this talk? Its too early.
It is a distraction from the brilliant agenda you have set for this country and will only mar your legacy.
These people should be giving us Constituency development plans.
Not this.
I wish he'd nominated more women, Like ku Ministry of Youth/Culture, Education/Tech, Community development, water and sanitation, SME...
Given all the drive that's gone into Women empowerment and NGOs, are there still no capable female leaders in these fields?
Broadly speaking, Free market economy is one whr pipo are free to trade however they like without Govt interference.
Is that so complicated a "trade unionist" can't fathom and try to execute it?
Especially when all the market conditions pointed to Command economy failure?
Really?
Lol.
I always say, when it comes to politicians, no matter how much you support them or as others would say, "love them", leave some room for disappointment.
Elo we are very good at displaying "ideal marriage" muma nyumba umu. Kansi ninshi kuli ma issues.
Elo, as all married people who have been at it for a while will tell you, kulibe kusekana.
Lelo chili pali munzako, mailo chili pali iwe.
Eh.
Let me compliment someone, just in case.
The wiolence in this.
Lol.
My brain is short circuiting because... before the challenge can be effected, the challenge must be read.
Therefore, if the challenge is not accepted, will it be due to fear of the challenge or will it be due to having failed to read the deal?
