Political rights, soaring prices, and the wonders of women’s football debated in Lusaka

Political rights, soaring prices, and the wonders of women’s football debated in Lusaka.

It is rich in emeralds and copper, and home to Mosi oa Tunya, or Victoria Falls. It has a youthful population and one of the most stable democracies in Africa, but Zambia faces big challenges: High food prices, persistent poverty and claims that political rights are under threat. What are the country’s priorities in a fast-changing world? And what does the success of the women’s football team mean for Zambian women’s rights? Jonny Dymond chairs as leading politicians and thinkers debate questions suggested by an audience on location in Lusaka.

The panel:
Cornelius Mweetwa, MP: Minister for Media and Information, Government Spokesperson
Linda Kasonde: Former President of the Law Association of Zambia, and Executive Director of Chapter One Foundation
Chishala Kateka: Economist and Leader of the New Heritage Party
Brian Mundubile, MP: Former leader of the Opposition, and former Minister for Northern Province

Presenter: Jonny Dymond
Producer: Charlie Taylor
