Cholera versus profits
Editor,
It is difficult for street vendors to abandon trade in food stuffs because that is their only source of income.
Unless government is ready to compensate them, I don’t see how they can be expected to forego profits just like that.
There should be a permanent solution this than the ad hoc arrangements being done now. Let vendors get off the streets and go in the markets so that this issue of moving does not arise.
As it is, there are many who are defying the ban on sale of fresh or cooked food on the streets.

Pilato is a psycho
Editor,
Pilato is a badly brought up child who is a psycho totally devoid of any sense of reason or morality. It is a waste of time to answer him because he is impervious to reason as his parents never brought him up to accept simple rudiments of manners. He has no manners.

Employment should be open
not secret
Editor,
Since January this year, government has allowed ZAF, ministry of Finance and recently Zambia Army to employ. This is a good thing, the only sad thing is the secrecy under which people are being engaged, and you have to know someone before you get a job in government. Families employ each other and we are left out.

Too many refugees, what are other countries doing
Editor,
If it is possible Zambia should pull out of SADAC, AU, and UN, I feel they have failed us why should Zambia suffer with the influx of refugees all the time? Zambia has helped liberate other countries in the past and it’s time for us to focus on ourselves and develop

WHY ARREST SOMEONE FOR STEALING BIBLES?
Editor,
I don’t see the reason of arresting people who steal things like Bibles and food. I am not saying stealing is a good thing but it’s obvious these people lack and need to eat to survive. Someone help to represent the man who stole the Bible from the Legal practitioners.

Too late to stop song
Editor,
When songs are done to demean the opposition ZAM keeps quiet or approves. When it’s against the ruling party Ba Njoya T speaks out. Anyway it’s kind of late too late almost everyone has the song on their devices.

Don’t be harsh on teachers
Editor,
Punishment is not a better way of correcting an error. Give counsel and guidance to teachers as some of them after graduating do various activities waiting to be employed by the government. One teacher was a bus conductor for 7 years before he was employed. All he studied as a teacher became irrelevant until he realised is employed. Do you expect such teachers to perform as expected? This is a question you need to answer before doing your hash action.

Hold on, who owns black
mountain
Editor,
How come the black mountain is being given back to the
jerabos? Wasn’t it sold to the Chinese? Please I need clarity.

Miles Sampa hope you have reformed
Editor,
Lack of foresight ba Miles. You always want to be in the front, It happened when you were Deputy Minister-Finance, you wanted to be Minister. Your uncle moved you to Commerce, after his demise you wanted to be president. When opportunity failed, you left and formed your party do you think it’s easy to run a party? This time tone down please.
