Zambia is not Zimbabwe

WHAT was most fascinating about the result of Zambia’s recent presidential election, in which the opposition leader beat incumbent President, is the celebratory mood that has gripped the MDC Alliance.  In the August 12 poll, Hakainde Hichilema of the opposition United Party for National Development...

We march on undeterred
