Attorney General Mulilo Kabesha has already hinted that the Constitution could be amended should UPND Zambia win the August 2026 elections. In this video, we now hear the UPND National Youth Chairman Cover Liswaniso suggesting that Hakainde Hichilema will still contest and win the 2031 general election, despite the Constitution clearly limiting a president to two terms.
Zambians must pay attention. UPND has developed a worrying pattern of publicly floating controversial ideas before eventually attempting to implement them, even against public resistance. The signs are becoming clearer, there are people within UPND who want President Hichilema to remain in power far beyond the constitutional limit.
Our forefathers fought hard for democracy, constitutional order, and freedom from authoritarian rule. We cannot afford to sleepwalk into a system where leaders begin altering the rules to extend their stay in office.
In my view, Hichilema has already failed to fulfil many of the promises made during his first term and does not deserve a second term. However, that decision belongs entirely to the Zambian people through the ballot in 2026. What should never be open for debate, however, is a third term. The Constitution is very clear on that matter, and we will not sit back and watch our country be pushed back toward dictatorship. Read more @ https://t.co/8ePQAAq2LX

Former South African President Thabo Mbeki yesterday delivered a striking reflection on African leadership while speaking at an event commemorating NEPAD, using a historical anecdote from Zambia that carries strong parallels with the growing controversy around Zimbabwe’s Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB 3).
Mbeki recalled how former Zambian President Frederick Chiluba once attempted to extend his stay in power by seeking a third presidential term in violation of Zambia’s constitutional framework. According to Mbeki, leaders within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) quietly intervened to stop the move in defence of constitutionalism and democratic order.
He said regional leaders at the time looked among themselves for someone with the moral authority and political credibility to confront Chiluba directly. They settled on former Botswana President Festus Mogae, whom Mbeki described as clean and respected. Mogae was then tasked with delivering a firm message to Chiluba that the region would not tolerate the undermining of constitutional term limits.
Mbeki used the story to argue that Africa’s leadership standards have sharply declined, saying the continent has regressed and no longer demonstrates the same collective political courage that once existed within the region.
His remarks inevitably draw parallels with developments in Zimbabwe, where critics argue that CAB 3 seeks to fundamentally reshape the country’s democratic framework while creating pathways for President Emmerson Mnangagwa to extend his political influence and remain in power beyond existing constitutional limits.
Indirectly, Mbeki’s remarks amount to a devastating commentary on the current state of leadership in Southern Africa. The former South African leader was effectively suggesting that today there is no respected regional statesman willing, or able, to stand up and stop what is unfolding in Zimbabwe.
The regression Mbeki spoke about is now visible in real time, where regional leaders increasingly watch constitutional manipulation unfold in silence, avoiding confrontation while democratic institutions are weakened before their eyes.
