Prof. Chilwa wanted Zambia government to pay for his dreams. I does not work that way. Ever. That is why he failed to work at Zambia railways. Look at Trade Kings or any other manufacturers in Zambia. Are they asking for government to recognize them or pay them for dreams no!! They manufacture and make their own millions. Look at Mikalile. This man wants to be spoon fed. He wanted to start a car assembly plant here in Zambia. He was given a go ahead. He failed.

    The audio is terrible. However I have known Clive Chirwa for almost 2 decades now. Levy Mwanawasa had problems with him. Michael Sata had problems with him? And the last two just ignored him. Now what is the problem? Is the problem himself or the last four presidents? I think our approach with him is that we can ignore the messenger but let us embrace his message. It (message) is our message: it is painful to watch our copper, cobalt, gold, silver, manganese, nickel, uranium, lithium and other minerals leaving our country in their raw form to go and enrich the Chinese, Americans, Switz, British, Australians, Indians, Europeans while we suffer dirt poor! We must nationalise our minerals and all the means of production asap.

As an entrepreneur, he was supposed to break even within the economy with his brilliant ideas and not lean on politics and demand a high pay cheque from the government.

      O think you don't know the person you are talking about this man. This man is a gem! That's why whites can not. Let go of him. They can't really do without people like him in technological advancement

      You obviously did hear what he was saying or you decided not to hear. Look him up.
      With all the projects that he is helping other countries and his achievements. You have the audacity to say his just good at talking?
      He tried to help this country and because of the dull politics you rubbished his work.
      He is one of the few Zambian who are making global impact and have a passion to help his country. It's just lack of political will, remember good solutions mostly don't have the backing of the pipo we owe money.

      @@natashailunga4818 Which countries has this Congole Refugee helped iwe mwankole? He was head of Zambia Railways for years. What did he achieve or change there? Other than being an adviser? as he always claims. He profession is Engineering. And not Advisory. Any one can be an adviser, even a Baboon sometimes can advise you better, but, a Baboon will never, ever, be an Engineer.

      It is not Sata per se. If I remember well, it was the Zambia Railways Board that suspended and fired him. He won the case and got compensated for his wrongful dismissal.
