The law of unintended consequences is a concept in sociology and economics which states that any purposeful action especially those taken by governments, regulators, or large organizations will inevitably produce outcomes that were not part of the original intention.

I stand to be correct but the Electoral Process Act requires that votes be counted immediately polls close and at the polling station. The only polls that could have led to this so called suspension would have to have been those still open. The majority closed yesterday at 18

Unless you are saying something completely new; it is highly unlikely you will convince anyone on how they should vote. Most people decided a long time ago based on their own lived experience. There is no right or wrong, this isn't an exam and even if it is, we rewrite in 5yrs

How is the FRA monitoring the moisture of maize that is not in their possession?

Your vote is based on your perspective, your opinion and your interests. No one should tell you what to do with it nor do they have the right to insult you for it. If they don't share your interests that's fine, they are free to cast their single vote.

Food on the Yango app is about 20% more BEFORE transport than it is in the actual restaurant. You are welcome 😁

The most disingenuous aspect of these elections is the tendency of people speaking for others. Let those eg. in the rural areas tell you for themselves what they appreciate and what they want. To come on this platform as the undisputed voice of all Zambians and delusional.

Conversations that revolve around inflation, exchange rates, reserves etc are for rich people. Most Zambians do not buy imported goods so the rate of exchange, import cover etc are irrelevant topics to them. Ask a security guard, maid, gardener about the MPR and see

Can someone explain how and why a network would "run out" of e-sims? Isn't part of the logic of having esims that you don't hold physical stock? The levels of nonsense we tolerate in this country

Arcades is now worth $28.5million. Somewhere in Lusaka, we have a 25x30 plot priced at $1million. Bare land at that.. The jokes yeah?? They truly write themselves.
