Zambians’ Resistance to Change Hinders National Progress

By Mwalimu Kazembe

Zambia struggles with a pervasive reluctance to embrace necessary changes for a brighter future, as citizens cling to the comforts of the past.

This mindset, prevalent on both individual and national levels, poses a significant concern.

Despite the absence of excuses like load shedding, a culture of poor work ethic pervades the country, impeding its development.

The nation urgently requires a paradigm shift, necessitating the concerted effort and constructive thinking of every Zambian.

It’s a call for collective wisdom over irrational resistance to common-sense solutions.

How can a country shun the rewards of hard work and innovation in favor of complacency and dependency on handouts?

China’s success story stands as a stark contrast, having lifted millions out of poverty through diligence and collective optimism.

Zambia’s journey towards social and economic revitalization demands a shift from reliance on aid to fostering self-sufficiency.

While legitimate concerns persist over soaring prices of essentials like mealie meal and fuel, politicizing these issues detracts from the broader goal of progress.

In comparison to the economic challenges faced by developed nations during their growth phases, Zambia’s grievances seem relatively minor.

It’s time for Zambians to acknowledge their role in impeding progress towards a better future.

The current political landscape, characterized by divisive rhetoric in the guise of democracy, only exacerbates the nation’s struggles.

Nostalgia for the past must not derail the pursuit of a brighter tomorrow.
