@ZambianObserver Indeed. Granted. But please Zambians whatever you do, whoever you decide to vote for in 2026, DO NOT BRING BACK THE PF! That is my humble advice to the Beautiful Country of Zambia. If possible, let us have a coalition government picking from all over.
It’s not over for opposition until God says so – CCZ
By Elijah Munkombwe

Timing of Mundubile arrest suggests political motivation - TI-Z
By Diggers Reporter
TRANSPARENCY International Zambia (TI-Z) says the timing of the arrests of Brian Mundubile and Makebi Zulu will make it difficult to dispel assertions that it has been done on political lines.
TI-Z Executive Director Maurice Nyambe says it is regrettable that this is happening in the immediate post-election period, during which

I have a lot of respect for Aljazeera, but if this is your angle of reporting then we shall differ real quick! Find out why those that are arrested were arrested... don't insinuate situations. That's bad journalism.
Zambia President Hakainde Hichilema begins his second term amid political tensions, with observers raising concerns over the August 13 election and opposition figures facing treason charges.

@geoffreyyork If you have no knowledge of what is happening in a country...you need to shut the fvkc up! You my friend need to shut the fvkc up, you don't know what is happening in Zambia. Shut the fvkc up.
Who cares about south African signals? Those guys have been very unfair to us when it comes to business. I hope we can chase all South African chain stores.
You don't know anything. Just shut the fvkc up! Where do you come from? I doubt you are Zambian. If you were, you would know something. Call your own president a dictator. You moron!
Who wrote this rubbish? This is nonsense. Why write a looooong article like this whereby at the end, the reader will still ask: SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
Time for Laura Miti to Step Down: Protecting Mother Zambia While Safeguarding a Hefty Salary Becomes Impossible
By Staff Reporter ( Lusaka)
The defining test of a true human rights advocate is the courage to confront institutional power, especially when it is uncomfortable. Yet, figures like Laura Miti have consistently failed this test, trading genuine, impartial advocacy for selective outrage. While drawing a comfortable, hefty salary from her position, Miti chooses to look the other way as ordinary citizens and opposition figures face intense pressure and high-stakes legal targeting.
Rather than holding the establishment accountable such as addressing the heavy-handed actions against figures like Brian Mundubile and Makebi Zulu, she conveniently reserves her sharpest critiques for voices like Ambassador Emmanuel Mwamba who genuinely mean well for Mother Zambia.
Miti’s public credibility collapses under the weight of her own double standards. She exhibits a disgraceful silence when systemic overreach occurs, offering no meaningful defense for targeted leaders facing severe political probes.
Instead of calling out President Hakainde Hichilema’s administration for closing off judicial avenues and frustrating constitutional rights, Miti prefers to throw stones at critics operating from abroad. In a recent display of elite detachment, she took to social media to mock Ambassador Mwamba for organizing protests from the safety of the United States, sneering at citizens while ignoring the root causes of public fury. It is a cynical posture coming from someone who abandoned the grassroots struggle of the suffering masses to cozy up to a failing regime.
Ambassador Mwamba has remained a vital mouthpiece for a populace that feels deeply betrayed at the ballot box. Zambians turned out to vote and protected their votes, only to watch the democratic process hijacked by a regime that blocks recourse and stifles dissent. When citizens resort to peaceful expression, such as honking and whistling to signal their discontent, Miti finds it within herself to condemn them, proving precisely whose interests she serves.
Why anyone continues to lend credence to Laura Miti is a profound puzzle, as she traded the people's struggle for proximity to power and material comfort. Instead of launching petty, deflection-laced attacks on Ambassador Mwamba to help state actors dent his image or influence his stay abroad, Miti should redirect her energy where it is actually required: advising President Hichilema to respect the rule of law and return stolen mandates to their rightful owners.
The Zambian people see right through the facade, and no amount of finger-pointing will erase the truth of who is standing with them and who has sold them out.
This is the most useless and hypocritical group of grown men I have ever seen. Kunyina bantu batajisi maano kwiinda alibaaba bantu. These are useless guys...easily bought and no principles at all not not bad ones.

In case you didn't get the memo woman, there are still 2.9+million Zambians on UPND and only 1.8 million junkies on your side. So do the maths... for 2031!
My Husband will only be buried by Mundubile, I am willing to wait till the year 2031 when the PF will bounce back to power and give my husband ECL a dignified burial.
HH can never bury my husband.
Says Mrs Esther Lungu.
You need to learn to shut the fvkc up especially if you sing from the same western hymnal. You don't even know what is happening in Zambia. There is no crisis in Zambia. We are just cleaning up the mess. Useless chap!
You don't know what you are talking about Bloomberg. No one just wakes up and start arresting people anyhow. Why don't you guys do your homework first before you expose your stupidity online? Did any of you guys ever even took the time to ask?
Zambia’s President Hakainde Hichilema has debased his second election victory by taking an unnecessary authoritarian turn, writes @justicemalala (via @opinion) https://t.co/fKnwvYhpct
@CucsmanE You are narrow minded my guy. You are looking at micro things. I am shocked you are so behind with what is happening...and like most challenged minds, you rush to blame HH. Clearly, you sympathise with criminals and terrorists. Good luck, but we are dealing with the situation.

These were the worst managed elections – Simutanyi

@QaanitahHunter You don't understand or you have chosen to be blind to certain facts on the ground. I'm shocked to hear that from a seeming journalist or journalist. Go for your homework properly. We are not clamping down democracy but rather thugs acting outside of it.
The crop of up-coming politicians in this country leaves much to be desired. I don't see this guy growing up to be a responsible, dignified and an individual with the integrity required to be a leader of a country with so much divergence like Zambia. It's a waste!
