In a 2016 interview with [[QTV]]'s Breakfast Show, Mulikita outlined his vision for Chalo Chatu: ''"As a country we haven't done so well in documenting our history. If you think about [[Zambian history]], most of it is centered around independence as it was a big political and liberation movement that took place in 1964. But if you try to think and ask anyone about life before that, you will find that there is a blackout.

So we are going as far back as possible to get this information as well as document what's happening in the present day."''<ref name= Chalo>{{cite news|title=Introducing Chalo Chatu “The Zambian Online Encyclopedia” |url= http://zedhypemag.com/introducing-chalo-chatu-zambian-online-encyclopedia/ |work=[[Zambian Hype Magazine]] |location= Lusaka Zambia |date=28 July 2017|accessdate=2017-07-28}}</ref> | In a 2016 interview with [[QTV]]'s Breakfast Show, Mulikita outlined his vision for Chalo Chatu: ''"As a country we haven't done so well in documenting our history.
