When the government fears the people there is peace. When the people fear the government there is anarchy.

[Sangwa Speaks @JohnSangwaSC]

Be guided accordingly.

[Sangwa Speaks @JohnSangwaSC]

The struggle continues. Judgement reserved for this Friday, 11 June 2021.

[Sangwa Speaks @JohnSangwaSC]

Thank you all.

[Sangwa Speaks @JohnSangwaSC]

I really didn't get it at first until someone told me that it's actually a coded message for me...another threat on my life; this time, from the very top. But I'm unmoved and unshaken. Thank you all for your messages of good will. This is a fight for the very soul of our nation.

[Sangwa Speaks @JohnSangwaSC]

For fighting for justice and the rule of law in Zambia, I've now been put on PF's most wanted list. My life is clearly being threatened here. But I'm not afraid, I'm ready. I was ready the day I decided to be a lawyer, to take on the cause for justice without fear or favour.

[Sangwa Speaks @JohnSangwaSC]

We're not trying to fix anyone. We're trying to fix the country, the constitution, to restore good governance, hope for the future, and the rule of law. It's not over until the people win.

[Sangwa Speaks @JohnSangwaSC]

Good morning.

[Sangwa Speaks @JohnSangwaSC]

IT IS DONE! We've finally lodged in our petition challenging president Lungu's eligibility to contest the forthcoming August 12 2021 general elections.

Thank you to all those of you who managed to tune in to Diamond TV as I explained the academic requirement for one to stand in the forthcoming general elections. It's a grade 12 certificate or it's equivalent as ruled by the constitutional court.

[Sangwa Speaks @JohnSangwaSC]

President Lungu was illegally sworn into office in 2016 because the constitional court did not declare his election valid after the petition, and further, because he was not sworn in by the Chief Justice or Deputy Chief Justice. #illegalpresident

[Sangwa Speaks @JohnSangwaSC]

To whom it may concern: seizing power by unlawful means is a crime. Please stand down. #twiceheldoffice #respecttermlimits

[Sangwa Speaks @JohnSangwaSC]

Something is seriously wrong @ZambiaElections and we need clarification now. Why should printing of ballots begin on 1 July 2021 when the 21 days provided for petitioning nominations of a candidate lapses on 11 July 2021? Is this yet another blatunt disregard for the rule of law?

[Next Kabwata MP @MaindaSimataa]

John Sangwa must see this: Watch how Nshindano butchers the constitution by cutting short the period for petition of nominations, from 21 days to 10 days. He says the petition period ends on 11 July 2021, but printing of ballots starts on 1 July 2021. HOW?

Respect for the rule of law is important in the life of a democratic society, impunity leads to anarchy. #paybackthemoney or else...

[Sangwa Speaks @JohnSangwaSC]

ECZ is flouting the Law with impunity. Article 43 of the Zambian constitution provides that any Zambian turning age 18, on or before the date of elections, (August 12, 2021 in this case) is eligible to register as a voter. So where did ECZ get their "9th May 2021" cut off point?

[Sangwa Speaks @JohnSangwaSC]

All that is necessary for evil to triump is for good people to nothing. Don't be the silent accomplice to the injustice Zambia suffers today. Speak truth to power. Be part of the change we seek, and so desperately need to keep this country afloat.

[Sangwa Speaks @JohnSangwaSC]

The voter registration process is nothing short of a fiasco. But keep registering anyway.

[Sangwa Speaks @JohnSangwaSC]

We're ready, and waiting for you to file in your nomination.

[zambianwatchdog @WatchdogZambian]

President Edgar Lungu says he is eligible to contest the Presidency in 2021 because he has only served one term from 2016. He says from 2015 to 2016, he was finishing Michael Sata's term.

ZWD comment: what about the salary? Was it also for Sata? https://t.co/74KK65P0uD

[Sangwa Speaks @JohnSangwaSC]

In a democratic society, voting is not only a right, but a citizens duty. I encourage you all to go and register as voters. The future of Zambia is at stake.

[Sangwa Speaks @JohnSangwaSC]

Today we put RPP President James Kasanda Lukuku to Rest. James was a fearless warrior for democracy and good governance, a true patriot who at one time spoke for me during my tribulations. Rest in eternal peace brother and countryman. The struggle continues.
