Q: Do you have talents? what are they?

"My mummy"...she has always pushed me to be an over-achiever, believed in me when I didn't myself . She always told me that mediocrity was for sissies every human being should be extraordinary.
Q: Do you speak any other languages?
Well apart from English which was my first; I am into Bemba, Nyanja with a touch of chewa, nsenga, and ngoni. Of course a bit of a bit of tonga and Swahili here and there. For the more foreign dialects le francaise and el elspanol have always been of a particular interest.

This has always been one of the hardest questions to answer because if I were to make a list it would extend over pages. But I would like to put out some massive appreciation to my father in heaven, my parents, my family, my friends, and my enemies for all that you've done to mound poor, little, me. You guys are the best!!!
Q: Do you have a dream car?
They are plenty. But everyone knows that a real gentleman drives Mercedes and the S-Class Maybach has always tickled my fancy.
Q: If you had a million dollars to spare, what would you do with it?
I would give half of it to charitable causes and direct the other half towards community development and capacity building.
Q: This is a personal-ish question. Would you love to be president of Zambia one day?
Wow, let's see, no I wouldn't because I think it would be too much of a headache for me.
