Introduction I am a second born son to Oscar Zaccheous Ziba and Jean Kaunda. I have four sisters, Lydia, Diassie,Milika and Chikondi; i have one brother - Grant Ziba. I have several step brothers and sisters. I spent most of my younger years in my home village - Mjinge Mhlaba. Had all my Primary education at Mjinge Full Primary School and went to St Patrick's Seminary before proceeding to Kamuzu College of Nursing in 1997, graduating in 2001 with a Degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN). I am happily married to Patronella Mayamiko Mukhwapa and we have a son, the joy of our life - Ngwakutemwa Ethan Ziba, born on 14th March 2008. I take myself as highly charged politically and higly politically opinionated. I reject both extremes as well as ends of rightists and leftists - i think political comfort/maturity lies in the middle-ground - a bit of both [political] worlds, some might want to say. I think politics is meant for selfless service - and not self aggrandizement. Politics is not an end in itself - it is a means to enhance people's, communities' and society's capabilities to exist more meanaingully in "pursuit of happiness."
