How strange i is that government papers such as the Times of Zambia priase their Presidents regardless. As someone who listened to President Banda's press conference I could not disagree more than with the editorial. We all know that President Banda is not a charismatic leader but unfortulately he has proved that he is no statesman either. Where was vision for the people of Zambia - concrete strategies for solving problems or setting a course to follow to improve the lot of ordinary Zambians - sadly the only course was akin to a drunken captain navigating through dangerous reefs!!! He used the time that he could have outlined his vision to instead attack his political enemies and praise his supporters and boot lickers. All in all it was a very poor performance and he thoroughly deserved being urinated on from upon high by a State House monkey!
