Zambia Politics | Hichilema's cabinet has only five women

A 100 days have gone since Zambia's new president Hakainde Hichilema took office. He unseated long-time President Edgar Lungu by a landslide in August, promising a new dawn. But, he's come under fire for a lack of diversity in his government, especially a lack of female cabinet ministers. eNCA speaks to Zambian Historian, Sishuwa Sishuwa for more. Courtesy #DStv403

People should be appointed on the basis of their competency not their private parts

"lack of diversity"? Apart from women what kind of diversity are they talking about?

[TamimLB]

Good, now Zambia can focus on problems without having extra emotions.

This is pathetic. When did Africa become so woke??? If the women isn't up to the job... so be it. Grow up people.

Very few women make it through to become MPs. You can't pick anyhow to balance.

Long time President? Which President is this Journalist talking about? Lungu was ONLY in power for ONE TERM (5 Years) from 2016 to 2021. He replaced the late President Sata from January 2015 till the next election in 2016, effectively completing the remainder of the late President's term which was just over 1 year. This is ignorance and embarrassing Journalism. We expect more research from a respected Journalist such as yourself, Mr ENCA Journalist or have you joined the foreign media perspective of misrepresenting the facts for a better narrative and views?
This is distorted information. You need to make a correction
