Zambia's Ester Phiri pounded Germany's Elina Tissen to grab the World International Boxing Federation championship last weekend.
Here, Ester Phiri listens to Zambia's sports minister Gabriel Namulambe. Ester has done Zambia pride and we are happy for that. She has redeemed Zambia in many instances. If she follows and listen so much to politicians, she will never come far. Sports has managed to do a lot of things that our politicians have failed to do.
Mr Namulambe attacked the Zambian media last week saying the journalists should not write negative things about Ester. The minister said reporters have an obligation to write positively about development in Zambia.
However, some critics have said that the minister should not dictate what the media must write. He said the media has a critical role to play in development and they must highlight any gaps and deficiencies in any process.
