Nelly Mutti is back as Speaker and HH says every MP should get a fair hearing 🇿🇲

That sounds right on paper, but Parliament will be judged by whether opposition voices actually get equal space

Seeing vendors pushed off Lusaka streets is tough 🇿🇲

Keeping the city organised matters but these stalls feed families too
relocation should come with a real chance to keep earning

At the home of Wicknell Chivayo, mourners turn up in white clothing at night. Is this a cult or what?

HH is back from the UAE saying Zambia secured $2.14bn in investment commitments across health agriculture tourism and energy 🇿🇲

New Zealand politics caught my eye today 🇳🇿 the election race is tightening and investors are already nervous about policy reversals
It made me wonder how much should major economic rules change when governments change

I can’t stop thinking about FZ1073 😳 a routine Dubai Tel Aviv flight suddenly became a major security scare after a cockpit fight forced it to land in Tabuk

Everyone landed safely but the investigation is still ongoing

I’ve been following HH’s Abu Dhabi talks with Mopani and this is where the numbers have to meet real life

3 million tonnes of copper sounds ambitious but the real story is whether more Zambians get the jobs contracts and value from it

That’s the test

I keep seeing everyone talk about Archbishop Alick Banda today
DEC has formally charged him over an allegedly unlawfully obtained ZRA-linked vehicle as part of a wider investigation
How do we make sure cases this sensitive stay fair and transparent

Zambia’s message at the UN today stayed with me 🇿🇲 political differences should be settled through institutions not violence

It sounds simple but it matters
Do you think we’re living up to that standard

Calling concerns 'fake news' when people are struggling? That's not leadership, that's avoidance. Real stability comes from addressing issues, not silencing them.

TAXI DRIVER SHOT DEAD AT UNZA

By Mulenga Chipampe Makasa

A 31-year-old taxi driver has been found dead with a gunshot wound to the head inside a Toyota Runx near the School of Law at the University of Zambia in Lusaka.

The Zambia Police Service says the suspected murder is believed to have occurred between the early hours of Thursday, September 24, and 07:30 hours.

Police spokesperson Godfrey Chilabi says the matter was reported around 12:00 hours at Handsworth Police Post under Chelstone Police Station by UNZA security personnel, who found the man unresponsive in the driver's seat of the vehicle, registration number CAG 2255.

The deceased has been identified by his wife as Able Mwape, who was reportedly a taxi driver from Garden Chilulu.

Mwape is said to have left home around 22:00 hours on Wednesday, September 23, to go to work.

Police say the owner of the vehicle has confirmed that Mwape was employed as a taxi driver.

The scene was processed by police, while the body was deposited at the University Teaching Hospital mortuary for postmortem.

Police have since launched investigations to establish the circumstances surrounding the suspected murder.

I keep seeing people talk about Zambia’s political future and honestly it makes me think

after every election the biggest challenge is not winning but bringing people together again 🇿🇲

Do you think national dialogue can help heal the divisions?
