Sikwindi S. Situla stands as one of Zambia's most influential political strategists and thought leaders. His journey began in earnest when he became President Hakainde Hichilema's first Presidential Campaign Strategist from 2007 to 2011, a role that would establish him as a key architect of modern Zambian political strategy.

Currently serving as UPND's Deputy Secretary General for Political Affairs, Sikwindi has also held the crucial position of Party Coordinator for International Affairs, bridging Zambian politics with global perspectives. His expertise extends beyond party politics into governance, where he has established himself as a respected expert and civil rights activist with many years of dedicated service.

In the media landscape, Sikwindi serves as Managing Editor of The Barotse Times Newspaper, where he provides independent journalism and incisive political analysis. His media work complements his role as Former Chairman of Bensizwe in Zambia, demonstrating his commitment to diverse platforms for social and political discourse.

As President of State55, Africa's premier people's pan-African organisation, Sikwindi champions continental unity and progress. Through this platform, he advocates for policies that promote African integration, economic development, and political transformation across the continent. He is also the owner of Easi Preps, showcasing his entrepreneurial spirit.

On August 31, 2014, Sikwindi was ordained as a deacon in the New Apostolic Church, adding a spiritual dimension to his multifaceted career. This ordination has enriched his ability to assess the confluence, divisions, and wider intersections of religious ideas, beliefs, and doctrinal positions, bringing a unique perspective to his political and social commentary.

His privileged position in politics and civil activism profoundly influences his literary work. His first authored book, "Fall of the Church from Grace," demonstrates his ability to weave together incisive analysis, research, and independent thought. Currently, he is working on "Behind Barking Dogs," a comprehensive examination of President Hichilema's political experiences and resultant fortunes.

Sikwindi's wide participation in politics provides him with rare insights into President Hichilema's journey, allowing him to interrogate the successes and failures while navigating the delicate balance between logic and curiosity. His work aims to help escape the entrapments of extreme ethnic political divides under the pressure of economic stagnation.

Through his multifaceted approach, Sikwindi envisions Zambia's future within the broader African context, where the country's social, economic, and political transformation could serve as a case study for the entire continent. His work represents a thoughtful process of geopolitics that informs the solutions needed for Africa's advancement.
