Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin (Aramaic for "numbered, counted, weighed, and divided"). Unable to decipher the cryptic message, the terrified king summoned Daniel, who explained the inscription: God had measured the king's kingdom and decided it was coming to an end.

Where's Elias Chipimo and what is he is up to these days?
I was at Mulungushi to hear him launch NAREP some 15 years ago. He unveiled a vision so bold that it sounded reckless: to transform Zambia into an energy superpower, a beacon of innovation and a regional infrastructural hub.
Later read his book - part memoir, part manifesto. Found it yesterday as I reorganised my library.

Patumba has been an important partner for @ZmGroove & #SupaSoftSundays, and I relayed the relevance & importance of that partnership to Hobbiton Board Chairman @EliasChipimo, who promised to make an appearance soon 😂

What matters is not education or money, but your persistence and the intensity of your desire to learn; that failures, mistakes, and conflicts are often the best education of all; and how true creativity and mastery emerge from all this.

Just had a powerful conversation with Linda Kasonde and Elias Chipimo at the launch of Linda’s book “Thoughts on Democracy and Womanhood”. We spoke so passionately about this beautiful country and Linda puts down a great book.
She also used the book launch as a platform to discuss the current constitution amendment which she and Elias argued was a regression in our democracy.

Mwisho, your new taxpayer bill?
A Zambian member of parliament earns an estimated K5.7 million on a 5 year stretch in the national assembly.
That cost is about to expand in astronomical proportion.
Under the proposed changes, the national assembly will squeeze in a total of 256 MP's in 2026.
Here is a pedestrian arithmetic on how expensive Zambian democracy will become on emoluments and gratuities.
In 2022, UPND, PF and Independent MP's unanimously hiked their fees by 17%.
Per annum: Ordinary MP.
1. Salary: K236,497.
2. Special allowance: K47,515.
3. Constituency allowance:
Rural: K49,608. Urban: K39,688.
4. Per sitting: K3,000.
5. Mid-term gratuities:
K2.5 million x 2.
Do the math for 256 members of parliament over a period of 5 years.

This weekend’s highlight was a kinsmen’s meeting with Mr. @EliasChipimo, founder of NAREP. So much to reflect on. Including that if it’s hard to afford 20 million Zambians a decent life, it will be worse when we’re 40 million, and that’s very soon. 🤨

Most people think they need money to start a business.
Richard Branson needed none to start an airline.
It's not capital that’s scarce.
It’s creative thinking and fearless execution.
Below, Monish Pabrai explains how Branson pulled it off. 👇
