Income by Anna Zgambo

I am a Zambian woman in Mtendere Ward. I work to earn wages. People in Lusaka need monthly salaries to pay for electricity, water, food, housing, telecommunications and transport. Income is integral in the Republic of Zambia.

I labour at a desk in Lusaka City. Desk work is lucrative. I write for eight hours a day at this desk. Working hours have monetary value. I write at a desk for 160 hours a month to earn income.

A salary is essential to live with human dignity in Lusaka. Citizens suffer from poverty if they do not have wages. People feel poor when income is inadequate. Zambians enjoy development when salaries are substantial. Families flourish when income is consistent.

Earnings come from excellent work. I get paid for practising my profession properly. It is crucial to labour correctly. I improve by studying my profession. I draw wages by working skilfully. I earn income by committing to professionalism.

The People of Zambia work for wages. Productivity produces prosperity. Government of Zambia pays emoluments. Labour generates wealth. Employers in the private sector disburse salaries. Zambians aspire for dignified income. Workers in the Republic of Zambia require fair remuneration.

Autobiography by Anna Zgambo

My name is Anna Zgambo. I was born at Kalingalinga Clinic within Lusaka on 29 November 1989. My father, Thomas Wanyanya Zgambo, died in 1991 from cerebral malaria. My mother is Juliet Lwenje.

I grew up in a single-parent household. Juliet Lwenje is a professional secretary. She paid my school fees from kindergarten to university. I come from a loving home.

I attended Grade 1 at Jacaranda Primary School in Lusaka. I moved to the Russian Federation in 1996 when my mother became a diplomat. Juliet Lwenje worked at the Zambian Embassy in Moscow from 1996 to 2005. I earned an Honor's High School Diploma from the International School of Tomorrow in Moscow in 2005.

In 2011, I earned a degree for Bachelor of Arts Languages in English Studies from the University of Pretoria. In 2012, I was employed by Chemonics International as a publications specialist at a USAID project called STEP-UP Zambia. I pursued self-employment in 2014. I participated in the Ngoma Awards 2019 and Ngoma Awards 2020 as a creative writer.

I live in Mtendere Ward within Lusaka City. I have a desk at home where I write for eight hours a day. I am a self-employed writer. My work plan is to write for forty hours a week. I write essays, poems, plays and stories. I focus on creative writing.

I am the author of:

Realisations of the Tumbuka People;
Image of Zambia;
Zambia Eradicates Coronavirus Disease;
Artists Enrich Zambia;
Zambia Has Stories;
Listen to Anna Zgambo; and
Zambia Ni Yokoma.

My day revolves around writing. I stay busy by writing about Zambia. Writing is economic activity. I practise my profession in self-employment by producing written publications.

I am thirty-one years old on 17 November 2021. I will be thirty-two years old in twelve days! It is good to be a youth in the Republic of Zambia.

I am single. I have never been married. I have no children. I am still enjoying my youth. I intend to obtain two more degrees. My goal is to earn a middle-income salary in Zambia. I aspire for economic independence.

My role model is Juliet Lwenje. She is sixty years old in November 2021. She retired in May 2021 and now works as a contract employee. I admire Juliet Lwenje's commitment to professionalism. My mother proves to me that a woman can achieve financial independence by working professionally. Juliet Lwenje worked as a secretary for 38 years and retired with dignity on her sixtieth birthday.

I aspire for a dignified life in Zambia. It is challenging to live in Mtendere Ward, but I accept all challenges with a good attitude. I see the opportunities in Munali Constituency. I use my skills to empower the People of Zambia.

I care about improving literacy. I encourage Zambians to read and write. I have readers in all ten provinces. I am partnering with Zambia Educational Publishing House to distribute Anna Zgambo's books to 116 districts.
