Bravo comme Silungwe. It is sad when you hear some people disagree when they don’t even understand what is it that they disagree.

It is a a factual intelligent article. You are great Silungwe. However, federalism is still a high probability.
Give the government less than a year, a lot of things will crumble down. Coupled with the audit recently funded by the Germany Government, things will soon turn very bad to the disgruntlement of many.

And finally, let people choose what they may want. Chiefs, government or whoso ever should not decide for people. Full stop

The writer has indeed put suggestions which both sides of the debate can look into and possibly follow or not, looking at what he has talked about on the advantages and disadvantages of federal system of government, i believe the advantages outweigh disadvantages which i think would be a waste of resources calling for a referendum, because in the first place which electoral commission shall over see the referendum if it was to be called when in fact its this MEC which has created more problems prompting the proponents of federalism to advance their cause plus the poor leadership of… Read more »
