Chilufya Tayali - A Life of Purpose pt.1

[00:08–02:44]: The interview begins in a secret location in Malaysia. Chilufya Tayali reflects on adjusting to the weather and thanks those who’ve helped settle him. He prefers not to disclose who’s supporting him for political reasons.

[03:07–06:49]: Tayali shares his early life and education, including time spent in a Catholic seminary across Malawi, Uganda, and Zambia, where he studied philosophy and pursued priesthood before leaving the formation.

[12:48–18:36]: He transitioned from religious life to entrepreneurship, starting a computer repair business in 2004. The business thrived until he began focusing on NGO work in 2011, forming the Zambian Voice, an advocacy group.

[20:37–26:47]: Tayali details his social programs, such as a feeding initiative for street children. He describes his disappointment when a promised political collaboration (with PF) to support this initiative fell through.

[30:32–36:34]: He discusses his political activism and how, under the Patriotic Front (PF), his work and safety were jeopardised. He recounts multiple arrests and police harassment from 2015–2021.

[38:27–39:04]: Under the current administration (UPND, 2021–2022), Tayali was arrested 14 times, highlighting ongoing political repression regardless of the ruling party.

[42:56–46:52]: He reflects on his political communication strategy—using social media like Facebook and YouTube to speak directly to the public, often drawing both criticism and support.

[54:28–56:50]: Tayali opens up about family life, raising his daughters as a single parent after a separation in 2009. He now maintains contact with his scattered family via video calls.

[1:04:12–1:08:52]: Despite past advocacy for the PF, he clarifies he doesn't fully align with either PF or UPND. He refuses to join either party due to fundamental disagreements and remains committed to justice and independent advocacy.

[1:10:35–end]: Tayali emphasises his dedication to justice over partisanship, explaining how public perception often unfairly aligns him with whichever party benefits from his statements
