40: Episode 39 - Petersen Zagaze: The Man Behind The stage Name

Petersen Zagaze joins Nkwazi Unfiltered for a conversation that reaches far beyond the music and the headlines. As one of Zambia’s most outspoken artists, he built a career on challenging politicians, religious leaders, and the status quo, but this discussion reveals the man who exists away from the stage name and the deliberate controversy. He speaks about the unexpected national storm that followed the release of Munyaule, and why he chose to run for public office not once but twice.

39: Episode 38 - Dickson Jere: Private Life Exposed

On this episode of Nkwazi Unfiltered, Amina Kaunda sits down with Dickson for a different kind of interview. He opens up about growing up in Matero and what that neighbourhood taught him and talks about the careers he considered before law and journalism took over. He also reflects on fatherhood, why he chooses to keep his personal life private, and what he wishes he could tell his 21-year-old self. If you have ever wondered what shapes a person who moves across journalism, law, government, and writing, this conversation is for you.

37: Episode 37 - Mumba Yachi: The Man who Lost Everything Twice!

When you're deported from the country you call home, most would pack up their dreams and disappear. Mumba Yachi didn't. He rebuilt his life, embraced both his Congolese roots and his Zambian home, and kept making music that refuses to fit into a box. Since then, the man behind the mealie meal sack suit and the underwear-on-the-head fashion statement has continued to walk his own path. He's won a Zambian Music Award, picked up an international film prize in Paris for his short film Tazara, survived his bamboo studio burning to ashes, and built a sound he calls "Yachi Music" — a fusion of Kalindula, Rhumba, and folk that is unapologetically his own. Mumba Yachi sat down with Chana Musakanya for an exclusive interview and we were fortunate enough to get to know the man behind the headlines, the costumes, and the controversy.

36: Episode 36 - Patricia Ellis Chama: Loss, Grit and Becoming

Before she became Zambia’s favourite TV presenter, Patricia Ellis spent eight years out of school. She was twelve when her father died, failed her Grade 9 exams, and survived by peeling cassava and waiting tables just to get by. In this episode of Nkwazi Unfiltered, Amina Kaunda sits down with the ZNBC news anchor and actress to walk through the parts of her story most people never hear. Patricia talks honestly about the long fight to finish her education, her early days in radio, and what it actually took to earn a seat behind the main news desk.
