Excerpts:
You are one of the Veteran Journalists in Zambia, why Journalism?
As a young boy at primary school, I always told people that when I grow up I would be writing books. I thought writing books was some kind of daily work. I never said I would go into journalism until I got to secondary School. From primary school, I was an avid reader; any book in English for me was game. While in grade six, two years before secondary school entry, I attempted to write two books. One of them I could not make the pages, so I copied chapters from Ngungi Wathiongo’s Weep not Child, and gave the manuscript to my teacher to go through. Then he said this is a good effort but do not copy from other books they can arrest you. He suggested that I should not read African writers’ novels that early until I go to secondary school. I also enjoyed listening to oral stories. I grew up on the Copperbelt, but every school holiday, I would go to the village in Mbala, northern Zambia, close to the border with Tanzania, while there I took interest in listening stories especially by my mother. So journalism for me was a calling from the word go and I think it is the best job or career in the world.
