WHAT'S TRENDING?

Zambian students are effectively using Charles Mwewa's book, "Zambia: Struggles of My People."

"Politicians don't directly create wealth, they manage available resources. But they directly influence and create policy through legislation (in democratic countries, at least) so that citizens can create wealth. You don't have to expect that Kaunda, or Chiluba or Mwanawasa or Rupiah or Sata or Lungu is going to suddenly bring wealth. However, politicians should create an "enabling environment" to empower the people to creatively manipulate resources and make wealth for themselves (businesses) and others (employment). The error we have made in Zambia, for example, is that we expect government to create jobs for us. This stagnates wealth creation and makes poverty a natural consequence. Anyone who depends on government for wealth will not be rich, unless corruption is encouraged." - Charles Mwewa

The three problems identified that Zambia faces today, in order of priority, according to the responses received at Charles Mwewa's forum are: (1) Lack of exemplary, creative and progressive leadership; (2) Rampant, uncontrolled and political corruption; and (3) Unwillingness of qualified, competent and people with new ideas to get involved in national governance in order to provide solutions to such vices as poverty, undemocratic tendencies, ignorance and etc.

BRIDGE-GAP LEADERSHIP

Bridge-Gap Leadership 


What is the most urgent type of leadership Zambia needs? The most critical kind of political leadership Zambia needs is a BRIDGE-GAP LEADERSHIP (a short-term goal leadership to usher in a leadership with a long-term mandate). In 5 years, this leadership should enact policies and systems that are meant to first change the national mindset towards things like responsibility, diligence, care for nature and environment, investment, order, a mentality that rejects the current poverty state (policies that make poverty a crime against human rights), and etc. Then the next 5 years, set up an agenda that empowers every Zambian to gain a responsible free, basic education that is quality enough to enable them to read, write and solve basic social problems; create a competitive economic environment that enables employment creation and business incentivised support system that forces everyone to obtain gainful employment or sustainable businesses; healthcare that is relatively accessible or free for the most killer but preventable diseases like malaria, AIDS, and etc.; and a government with zero-tolerance policy on corruption, lethargy, tribalism and nepotism. 


Pray & Do for Zambia


 If you are praying today in Zambia, pray that God gives your political leaders wisdom and courage to provide an environment that is pro-economic growth. And pray, too, that the citizens begin to DO something with their plenty of time they have to create wealth for themselves - and not simply lazying there waiting for handouts! 


Same Old Leaders, Same Old Results


 What happens if government after government, president after president make promise after promise and repeatedly advance the country not even an inch? Why do Zambians keep voting for the same people, who achieve nothing, and leave the nation worse than they found it? Can you call that governance or leadership? 

4 WEAK POINTS OF POWER

BRIDGE-GAP LEADERSHIP

BRIDGE-GAP LEADERSHIP

 Power, by its design, has four major weaknesses. Any leader, whether in politics, religion, social or any other persuasion of life, will have to guard against these four pitfalls:

1. NOT LISTENING: This is the first weakness of Power. It is also the first sign that a leader has started to be corrupted by Power. They are not there yet, but they have entered the path to self-destruction, autocratic tendencies, and self-belief. When a leader stops to listen to advisers, spouse, colleagues and the people, they have begun on a road to corruption.

2. FLATTERY: This is the second stage to corruption. It is the sign that you are moving from responsible Power into absolute or autocratic Power. It begins by looking for, and sometimes, soliciting flattery. Such leaders will like to hear only what they want. The trouble begins when they can’t or don’t hear what they want to hear. Everyone else not sharing their opinions or point of view is an enemy, and must be isolated or ostracized.

3. PRIDE: Pride and flattery are related, only that Pride is deeper and more ruthless. Pride is the third stage to Power corruption. When power becomes Pride, it closes all opportunities to other points of view and only considers its own as legitimate. At this stage, it eliminates opposition, refuses to listen to reason and becomes conceited. When Power is Pride, people are nothing but things to be used to reach the leader’s ends. Power, at this stage, believes it is always right. Usually, at this stage, Power has corrupted a leader to the point of killing anyone who stands in their way.

4. CORRUPTION: The final stage of Power corruption. The regime, order, rule, church, and so on, at this stage, is ruined; it’s rotten to the core, usually irreversibly. Power, at this stage uses everything, including law, to reprise opponents (usually, at this stage, opposition is none-existent). Law becomes tyranny. Democratic or religious institutions become weapons of mass corruption. Common-sense becomes avaricious. Power doesn’t just kill, it kills at will, and sometimes, just on sheer speculation. The only way to reverse an absolute corrupt Power is to use mutiny, revolution or democratic mass protest that paralyses absolute Power.

In 2011, Charles Mwewa became the first single author to write a book covering all topics from law to economics, to culture, to politics and to the history of Zambia. The book has 1,100 pages with about 500 books and references cited. The book has over 2,500 footnotes. In 2017, Charles Mwewa began the project to re-make the book into volumes to make it easier to read and follow. Volume One is already available with its companion "Test Bank".
