@Kang

Honestly, shout out to water.

this is so accurate

LCK Freedom Foundation @FreedomLck and @CofZambia Petition the Constitutional Court over ZAMBIA-US Health Aid Agreement We wrote to the Government. We filed ATI requests. We appealed to the Human Rights Commission. No disclosure. No response. No accountability. So we went to the Constitutional Court.

@johnpetersangwa Consider holding the program online. If planned well the net can still be cast wide enough

PRESS STATEMENT MNR BLOCKED FROM NATIONWIDE MOBILISATION AHEAD OF THE GENERAL ELECTION 1. Introduction The Movement for National Renewal (MNR) informs the public that it has been prevented from proceeding with its nationwide programme of citizens’ Town Hall Consultations, which had been scheduled to take place across all ten provinces of the Republic of Zambia from 24th March 2026 to 30th April 2026. This programme followed the Movement’s attainment of 1,000,000 supporters and its transition into a political party and formed part of a structured national process of citizen engagement and democratic participation. 2. Scope and Structure of the Programme The Town Hall Consultation Programme was designed as a nationwide civic exercise covering all ten provinces. For purposes of organisation and effective engagement, the country was structured into four operational circuits: (a) Southern Corridor: Lusaka, Southern and Western Provinces (b) Northern Corridor: Eastern, Muchinga, Northern and Luapula Provinces (c) Central Industrial Belt: Copperbelt and North-Western Provinces (d) Central National Hub: Central Province and peri-urban districts of Lusaka Province These arrangements were formally communicated to the Zambia Police Service in the Movement’s letter dated 16thMarch 2026. The consultations were intended to: (a) Engage citizens on governance, constitutionalism, and national development priorities; (b) Gather views from communities across the Republic; (c) Inform the preparation of a People’s Manifesto; and (d) Facilitate nationwide mobilisation and organisational readiness for the forthcoming general elections. 3. Lawful Notification to the Police By letter dated 16th March 2026, addressed to the Inspector-General of Police, the Movement formally notified the Zambia Police Service, pursuant to Section 5 of the Public Order Act, of its intention to conduct these consultations nationwide. In that letter, the Movement expressly: (a) Set out the purpose and structure of the consultations; (b) Indicated the timeframe and nationwide scope; (c) Drew attention to the constitutional protections under: Article 20 (freedom of expression); Article 21 (freedom of assembly and association); and Article 60 (dissemination of political programmes); and (d) Confirmed its commitment to ensuring that all consultations would be conducted peacefully, lawfully, and in an orderly manner, in cooperation with law enforcement authorities. 4. Police Response By letter dated 2nd April 2026, the Inspector-General of Police acknowledged receipt of the Movement’s notification. However, in that letter, the Police indicated that they were unable to “clear” the programme on the sole ground that the Movement is not yet a registered organisation. The Movement notes that, in that response: (a) No concerns were raised regarding public order; (b) No concerns were raised regarding safety; (c) No concerns were raised regarding timing; (d) No concerns were raised regarding the peaceful nature of the consultations. 5. Effect of the Police Decision As a direct consequence of the position communicated in the letter of 2nd April 2026, the Movement has been unable to proceed with the nationwide Town Hall Consultation Programme. This has effectively prevented: (a) Citizen consultations across all provinces; (b) Public engagement on national issues; and (c) Lawful mobilisation in preparation for the general elections. 6. Why the Police Position Is Wrong in Law The Movement considers the position taken in the Inspector-General’s letter of 2nd April 2026 to be without lawful basis for the following reasons. (a) Notification is not authorisation As reflected in the Movement’s letter of 16th March 2026, the consultations were notified in accordance with Section 5 of the Public Order Act. The Act provides for notification, not prior approval. The conversion of this process into a system of “clearance” is not supported by law. (b) The consultations were constitutionally protected As set out in the Movement’s letter of 16thMarch 2026, the consultations constituted a lawful exercise of: Freedom of expression (Article 20); Freedom of assembly and association (Article 21); and formed part of the Movement’s role under Article 60 in disseminating political programmes of a national character. (c) Registration is not a lawful ground for prohibition The only reason stated in the Police letter of 2nd April 2026 was that the Movement is “not yet registered.” The Movement observes that this ground was not accompanied by any concern relating to public order or safety; was not linked to any statutory limitation; and therefore, does not constitute a lawful basis for prohibiting peaceful public activity. (d) Registration presupposes existence A political organisation must exist before it can be registered. Registration is a regulatory process; it does not create the organisation itself. It follows that registration cannot lawfully be used to prevent a political movement from engaging in peaceful public activity. (e) The Constitution protects political formation and participation As noted in the Movement’s letter of 16th March 2026, the Constitution guarantees: Freedom of association under Article 21; and the role of political actors under Article 60. These provisions protect the formation, existence, and activities of political organisations independently of registration. 7. A Matter of National Importance This matter raises a fundamental question: whether citizens and political actors can freely organise, engage the public, and participate in national affairs without prior approval from the State. 8. Current Position The Movement for National Renewal is currently considering the matter and will determine its next course of action in due course. 9. Conclusion The Movement for National Renewal reaffirms its commitment to: (a) The rule of law; (b) Democratic governance; and (c) The peaceful participation of citizens in national affairs. 10. Supporting Documents For completeness and transparency, the Movement has attached: (a) The letter dated 16th March 2026 notifying the Zambia Police Service; and (b) The response dated 2nd April 2026 from the Inspector-General of Police. Issued at Lusaka this 9th day of April 2026 Movement for National Renewal (MNR)

@LusansoMkhuzo @MissMaggiChi There are people in government powerful enough to protect such individuals from the system. The fact that they do not do so is evidence enough that they too are beneficiaries of the rot in the system.

@Kang_RMCF @MissMaggiChi Musa Mwenye for example. Neutral person will either be frustrated or become part of the system.

Even after this, many Zambians will still use PF as a yardstick on different accounts instead of acknowledging everything wrong with this appointment.

@MissMaggiChi The people you’re referring to aren’t many, they are very few. It’s just that they are loud because they have been emboldened

@LusansoMkhuzo @MissMaggiChi The reverse of your question is what kind of man with any integrity would, with an entire nation of resources at his disposal, fail to find someone neutral to appoint? It has been done before and it can be done again. He is just too corrupt to do it.

@MissMaggiChi But can a president appoint someone who's not loyal to him and how do you determine that someone is independent.

@Blacksword011 Pray for her husband

What men don’t understand about the mental load

@LankyObserver The people we ask to change these things will never lift a finger to do so. We, the people, must make them change.

When we say MPs are doing nothing in constituencies, we are told an MP's job is to pass laws, not develop their area. How many motions does an average MP move over a 5-year period in that house? We have all sorts of bad laws on our books, MPs don't bother to move to redress.

@idlidosa2 We get it. She’s not wrong. But it’s not strictly a Zambian men issue. Most of us don’t comprehend this dating thing in this country. Male AND female. We copy everything and that’s a problem. Is there anything about Zambian dating that’s originally Zambian?

shots fired on reddit/Zambia

@aquila_fpoz_ Actually the failure of a lot of things is because the public neglect the role they have to play in a functional democracy. When people are asked to perform that role on this platform you will see a donkey here and a mosquito there saying “public uproar and then what”🤦🏾‍♂️

Anything can be normalized when there is no public uproar. Silence can build normalcy and before you know it you are in a cage.

@LankyObserver Will our votes even matter though? Are the majority of Zambians even truly aware of how difficult regime change will be considering the conditions being put in place by the current administration?

I voted HH in 2015, 2016, and then 2021. At the time, he presented our best hope of arresting Zambia's decline under the PF kleptocracy. I cannot, in good faith, continue to support this government with all of what is going on now. August 2026, vote John Sangwa for President.

@Umuntu187 @SentimentalCook They were suspended because the rules they and their parents consented to say such action will lead to suspension. Made their bed. Now laying in it.

@SentimentalCook The broader argument is how this was an overaction, why suspend 200+ students and deny them the opportunity to be tested on what they've learnt over missing prayer day. Force them to attend a full week of prayer and fasting if you like but don't suspend them.

All my children have gone to a catholic school here in Perth. During enrolment, everything is explained to you, if your child is not baptised, they'll have to be baptised. Attendance of school mass is mandatory, it is not an option. Failure to attend requires a doctor's certificate or letter from the parent. When you join a club, follow the rules!!

After 13th August 2026 expect heavy loadsheddding to resume.

@kawaza3 Bane, if you have a problem with a school’s rules(ones clearly stated in your child’s admission letter by the way) then take that child to a school with rules that suit you. Also what kind of reasoning would have someone compare an educational institution to a religious one?

@Kang_RMCF Even for believers attending church or mass is not compulsory, why should it be forced on pupils? There is a thing called religious freedom.

You cannot force religion on people? Education and religion are two different things.

@BuyoyaJonah …which explains a lot.

Zambia is ranked the most Christian country in Africa and 6th in the world with approximately 95.5-96% of its population adhering to Christianity. It is also only one of two countries that explicitly define themselves as Christian nations in their constitutions.
