🔥 MULILO: THE FIRE YOU LIGHT!

A one man fictional theatrical piece by Chibwe Katebe.

Every choice has consequences. Every voice can choose peace.

As Zambia heads to the polls, let us remember that elections should be a celebration of our democratic voice, not a season of fear, intimidation or violence.

Political and electoral violence does not end with those who start it. Its consequences can reach families, communities and even those who never chose to be part of it.

Through The Fire You Light, PAAGZ uses creative expression to reflect on the choices we make, the consequences they carry, and the power each of us has to choose a different path.

🕊️ Reject political violence.
🤝 Resist provocation.
🗣️ Disagree peacefully.
🗳️ Participate responsibly.
🇿🇲 Protect the peace we all depend on.

As we approach the polls, let us not fuel the fire 🚫🔥. Let us choose peace.

A Creative Reflection on Rejecting Political Violence.

THE POWER OF CITIZENS!

For democracy to work, Citizens must be free to express themselves. They must also have the opportunity to participate in decision making on public affairs such voting for a candidate of their choice during election day.

Citizen participation should go beyond casting a vote during elections. It should include
✅ Participation in activities that contribute to the welfare of the society
✅ Involved in developing public policies
✅ Ensure that their leaders are accountable for the decisions they make on their behalf

Citizens should also be on their guard to make sure that the representatives they choose carry out their responsibilities according to the citizens’ expectations. Not to be marginalized in the decision-making processes whether at local or national level.
