Dr. Musokotwane, who has spearheaded fiscal consolidation and reform-driven growth strategies since 2021, described the figures as “evidence that Zambia’s economic fundamentals are improving.” Understanding the Drop in Inflation Inflation is one of the most critical indicators of an economy’s health.

The Silent Killer, The Forbidden Cure: Masturbation, Prostate Cancer, and the Truth Men Need to Hear

By BalanceHub4 Introduction: The Pain We Never Talk About Men are dying in silence. Not from gunshots. Not from accidents. But from something far more invisible: prostate cancer. A disease that grows slowly, quietly, until one day you're told it's too late. And the cruelest part? We could have seen it coming. We could have stopped it. But we didn’t—because of silence. Because of shame. Because we were taught that real men don’t talk about their bodies. Real men don’t cry. Real men don’t touch themselves. And that’s the lie. In this post, we confront it all: the science, the stigma, the shame.

By Balancehub What Is the Prostate, and Why Should Every Man Care? The prostate is a small gland that produces seminal fluid. It sits just below the bladder, surrounding the urethra. It’s essential f...

🕊️ Zambia Ends National Mourning: A Nation’s Grief Meets a Bold Decision

By BalanceHub4 ⚫ When Silence Spoke Louder Than Words For a nation already shouldering the weight of economic stress, political polarization, and everyday survival, the death of a national figure brought the country to a standstill. Television stations muted their jingles. Radios, once filled with laughter and music, played only hymns and classical tones. Joy was placed on pause. Children asked why cartoons were gone. Brides postponed long-awaited ceremonies. Business owners stared at empty venues and unpaid bills. Zambia was not just mourning a person—it was living through the reality of what mourning costs . 🎭 The Human Cost of National Mourning Mourning is a cultural pillar in Zambia, deeply respected and traditionally observed. But when mourning becomes national , it’s no longer just a matter of sorrow—it becomes an economic, emotional, and spiritual disruption .
