Barotseland Agreement 1964: A failure in leadership(Reaction)

Hello Mabvuto your reflections on this matter are deep and emotionally thought provoking. You have asked all the right and relevant questions, and answers must be provided.

I would want to see a full communique from this meeting to fully understand and appreciate the reasoning behind those calling for cessesion. It cannot be denied that the ascendance of PF into power spurred renewed hopes for the restoration of the provisions of the agreement in Zambia. The agreement itself does not talk about sessesion as an option in the matter and I would think its out of frustration that as a last resort people would contemplate that path. Cecession is not an easy matter and i m not convinced that the elite Lozis that are pushing this agenda have what it takes to achieve such a goal and to inspire a revolution, because in the first place they have not answered the question - for what? For me it is time to push this government to ensure the new constitution takes into account a governence system prescribed in the Barotseland agreement, after all without this agreement there is NO Zambia.If you ask me I would think its about time we begun to entertain thoughts of a federal system of government.
