“I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president,” Trump told throngs of cheering supporters in Florida even before his victory was confirmed. He attacked his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, in deeply personal – often misogynistic and racist – terms as he pushed an apocalyptic picture of a country overrun by violent migrants. The coarse rhetoric, paired with an image of hypermasculinity, resonated with angry voters – particularly men – in a deeply polarized nation. The question is, has the UPND leader’s message of change found resonance with the electorate? While he appeals to the affluent and middle class in Parklands, Kansenshi and Kabulonga, the grassroots in Mandevu, kwa Nagoli and Chamboli seem to be struggling to grasp his vision for the country. Unaware of a groundswell desire for change, an over-confident former British Premier, David Cameroon called a snap referendum to determine Britain’s future in the European Union (EU).

Cases that have garnered significant media attention often remain unresolved or stagnate, with little indication of real progress being made. Angela Chadukwa, Assistant Director for Youths and Sports, represented Fumba Chama, Permanent Secretary for Arts, at the World Vasectomy Day “Act of Love” 2024 prize-giving ceremony. Chama’s message highlighted the Ministry’s endorsement of the initiative, emphasizing art’s power to shift perspectives and spark discussions on subjects often considered sensitive, such as men’s health and responsibilities. By streamlining the registration process and providing incentives for formalization, the government aims to create an enabling environment for SMEs, which could ultimately lead to greater economic diversification and resilience. The ceremony was attended by approximately 35 traditional leaders from various regions of Zambia, underscoring its importance as a cultural gathering that promotes unity and mutual respect. The only major condition that Indeni should fulfil is to proof that it has unfettered access to TAZAMA.

Zambians must reject the politics of the belly, the selfish ambitions of leaders who see government as a pathway to personal wealth rather than public service. This growth will surely enable him to approach his second term with the wisdom and understanding that Zambia’s economy demands. Unlike leaders who clung to power without evolving, HH has proven he’s willing to grow for Zambia’s sake. But if Trump’s future was in doubt, that changed in 2023 when he faced a wave of state and federal indictments for his role in the insurrection, his handling of classified information and election interference. He used the charges to portray himself as the victim of an overreaching government, an argument that resonated with a GOP base that was increasingly skeptical – if not outright hostile – to institutions and established power structures.

However, while the unemployment rate has marched higher, it hasn’t been entirely due to negative reasons, economists have said. Jobless claims (a proxy for layoffs) have increased but not spiked; and since the government’s measure of unemployment captures folks who are actively looking for a job, the jobless rate also includes new entrants and reentrants to the labor force. November 1, 2024 • The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the unemployment rate remained steady at 4.1% and 12,000 jobs were added to the U.S. economy during October. It’s a lower-than-expected jobs number, from a period that saw two significant hurricanes in the southeast and a strike from workers at Boeing. Today on the show, we explain the complexities of calculating the monthly job numbers, and why the Bureau of Labor Statistics can be trusted.

This is one of the key performance indicators of the IMF referred to as Structural Benchmark (SB) and was expected to be implemented by end of August,2024.“ Competitive tenders to implement open access to the Tazama pipeline have faced delays due to procedural disruptions. To ensure full cost recovery more consistently, the retail and wholesale price structures will continue to be published monthly. The requirement for Indeni, a state-owned enterprise, to compete for access to a government-owned asset has sparked outrage from many Zambians. So far, the IMF’s petroleum reforms have yielded unfavourable outcomes, fuelling criticism. There are already signs of isolated shortages of diesel, and suspicions that some oil marketing companies may be hoarding Petroleum products thus creating artificial shortages.

The SPDR S&P Bank exchange-traded fund, which tracks banks across various sub-industries, climbed 11%. Markets soared on Wednesday as anxieties around a potential contested election outcome and days of uncertainty were dispelled by Donald Trump’s decisive victory over Kamala Harris. All three major US indexes notched new intraday record highs, rising at least 2%. Harvard and its endowment saw donations decline by about $150 million over the past year after a controversy over the administration’s handling the sun of antisemitic protests on campus. A mansion in California that resembles the White House is officially off the market after a buyer scooped it up in late October.

The Sadhus vehemently deny ever being served any warrant, and the Attorney General has not provided proof of its existence or being served, in the amended defence filed last week. The Attorney General further claims in the amended defence that this detention was intended to secure a Warn and Caution statement, which the Sadhus vigorously deny, contending that any such documentation would likely be fabricated by colluding party affiliates and police personnel. The Attorney General has submitted no Warn and Caution statement to the High Court. Previously, the Attorney General’s defence claimed that the Sadhus were taken directly from the Department of Immigration to the Chelstone Police station. The alternative is a return to the dark days, where our nation’s coffers were nothing but a piggy bank for a select few, where ordinary Zambians bore the brunt of financial mismanagement and corruption. The decision in 2026 is not merely a political one; it is about safeguarding the very essence of Zambia’s future.
