In this exclusive interview, president Hichilema breaks his silence on the controversai lburial of his predecessor, Edgar Lungu, and slams allegations of witchcraft and secret societies. He also reveals how Zambia persuaded the Trump administration to abandon planned massive tariffs on copper.
President Hichilema discusses his transition from businessman to the highest political office in Zambia. He reflects on his motivations for entering politics, saying it became clear to him that sound economic policies were vital to allow businesses to flourish, leading to job creation and better opportunities for the Zambia people. 'We can't share poverty', he says. 'We can't redistribute nothing.'
He speaks of the challenges faced during his tenure, including the Covid pandemic and the worst drought in living memory. A year before the next presidential election, he outlines the strategies he has implemented for economic recovery and the achievements of his administration so far.

On the controversial issue of the burial of his predecessor, President Hichilema is adamant. The body of Edgar Lungu, who died in South Africa, must be returned to Zambia even against the wishes of his family.
