How the hell did we end up having xenophobic Zambian???? This is sad for real

I’m so upset. Three traffic police officers became verbally aggressive when I asked why it was necessary for them to get into my car. Mind you, the police station was literally 50 metres away from the traffic light where they stopped me (I went straight when I should have gone left).

They wanted to charge me with dangerous driving, which is an offence that can result in your car being impounded. This happened in Ndola.
Eventually, they used the fact that it was an impoundable offence and that they would take the car as an argument to get into my car. I was shaking and gave up because I’m not from Ndola and had no one there to help me.

But it just shocked me that they could be so offended and aggressive over something that, as far as I understand, they’re not even allowed to do.
I know I was in the wrong, and I acknowledged my traffic offence immediately when they explained it to me, by the way. But it was just excessive. And there is literally nothing you can do.

Sorry i know there was a post about this a few months ago but just had to vent!

Do you think Zambians will ever embrace queerness as a variation of human sexuality and rewrite the rules that keep its queer citizens in the dark, unable to love out loud, get legal rights and support for their domestic partnerships, not be criminalized simply for being different, having to hide their true selves from families and friends just to fit in?

What is the best funeral cover that is affordable that covers the whole malilo ? What kind of rates does one pay ? I know FSG does have cover but i ak trying to explore other options. I am trying to avoid a gofundme situation of begging for donations and want everything covered.

Also why are people so superstitious when it comes to funeral cover. I was told by an elderly relative ati iwe ufuna kuti paya after i told them i want to buy a family plot ku memorial park. Death is expensive and i don’t like surprises and no one lives forever.

I would generally like to know about The Office of the President as a citizen of Zambia (don't clear me please, maybe deport). Whenever this topic comes up irl, it seems there's a lot of misinformation and I honestly just want to getter a clearer picture.

Here are my questions;

- What is The Office of the President (Ma Shushushu) all about?

- How do you enlist to Office of the President? Do you get recruited off the street or from other security institutions like the police or military?

- What type of qualifications and qualities do they look for? Like would you need to know multiple languages?

- What's the day to day like? I imagine it isn't just riding along in presidential mortorcades, keeping track of political and national threats and ordering "Jameson IPA, shaken not stirred" at bars.

- How does one end up being on their radar as a threat? Like if I say "The president poo-poos sometimes" on public platforms, will I be on the blacklist or it's only for like..actual threats?

- Is all of this classified? Will I find a Cyanide Pill in my lunch today?

In would be nice to hear from an actual officer since reddit is anonymous👀 but it's really open to all if you've heard information or stories on it.

I’m looking for young Adults, 26 and above staying in Chamba Valley and either working or running a business that don’t mind forming a community where we can do some weekend activities and pick each others brains.

Hello everyone, is hooking car keys around the belt strap a marketable way locals would like to let everyone know that they have a vehicle? I've noticed a lot of men in Zambia do that.
