We don’t care what the world thinks of us
I laughed the other day when I read that the Zambian Home Affairs Edgar Lungu who reportedly acts as president when Sata is away said “We don’t care what rest of world thinks of us.”
He is quoted as having said “people saying the PF government is denting the country’s image to the outside world do not understand facts.”
What facts, I mused, recalling President Sata’s performance at the AU summit.
The Zambianwatchdog.com reports that “Mr. Lungu added that government is not bothered by the perception of outsiders as long as it has the support of the Zambian people.” The story attracted 160 reader responses.
One reader commented: “A time is certainly coming, probably very soon when they will care what the world says about them.”
The reader was obviously referring to elections and I couldn’t help but draw parallels with our Zimbabwean circumstances.
That’ll teach them!
