KBN TV SUSPENDED FOR 30 DAYS

The regulator has suspended KBN TV for 30 days following its review of election coverage.

The decision comes after a campaign period in which the station faced accusations of giving opposition voices prominent space.

But the IBA says the issue goes beyond political coverage — citing balance, verification of information, right of reply and programme moderation.

So, what exactly did the regulator find, and why has KBN TV now been taken off air?

And what does the suspension mean for media freedom and election coverage in Zambia?

👉 We break down the decision, the background and what happens next:

KATELE KALUMBA ARRESTED OVER AUGUST 11 STATEMENT

Former Finance Minister Dr Katele Kalumba has been charged with a cyber offence after police linked him to electronic content he published two days before Zambia’s August 13 election.

Police say the complaint was filed on September 10, alleging that Kalumba's August 11 publication was intended to humiliate President Hakainde Hichilema.

But the arrest comes against a much wider political backdrop.

Just days ago, Kalumba was publicly calling for the release of opposition figures detained after the election and appealing for reconciliation, constitutional order and dialogue.

His wife also reported that armed men had picked him up from his Chienge residence before police confirmed that he had been apprehended in Chienge.

So what exactly did Kalumba say on August 11 — and how has that statement now become the basis of a cybercrime charge?

👉 Zambian Eye looks back at the statement, the events leading to his arrest and what happens next.

MUNDUBILE PICKS MUHABI LUNGU AS ACTING TONSE-PAMODZI SECRETARY GENERAL

A new face is taking over the day-to-day leadership of the Tonse-Pamodzi Alliance.

Alliance leader Brian Mundubile has appointed Zambia We Want CEO Muhabi Lungu as Acting Secretary General, with immediate effect.

The appointment follows the suspension of Dr Chris Zumani Zimba, who previously held the position.

Lungu has been a prominent voice within the alliance, particularly on the post-election political situation and the detention of opposition figures.

What does his appointment mean for the direction of Tonse-Pamodzi — and what happens next for the alliance?

KIBOMBWE ENTERS CONSENT AGREEMENT IN LUSAKA MAYORAL PETITION

A significant development has emerged in the Lusaka mayoral election petition.

Losing candidate Gabriel Kibombwe has entered into a consent agreement in favour of Mayor-elect Chitambala Mwewa, according to information presented before the Local Government Elections Tribunal.

Kibombwe had challenged Mwewa’s election, with the two separated by just 4,988 votes.

So what does the consent agreement mean for the petition — and what happens next?

SOLDIERS PICK KATELE KALUMBA, WIFE SAYS

Former Finance Minister Dr. Katele Kalumba has reportedly been picked up by soldiers from his home in Chienge, according to his wife.

She says he was taken to Chienge Police Station before being driven towards Mansa.

The reported pickup comes shortly after Kalumba publicly called for the release of people detained over post-election-related cases.

Where is Katele Kalumba now — and why was he picked up?

Zambian Eye examines what is known so far and the questions surrounding the reported detention.

🇿🇲🇺🇳 ZAMBIANS PROTEST AT UN — HOURS AFTER HAIMBE DISMISSES DEMONSTRATION CLAIMS

A small group of Zambians has taken Zambia’s post-election concerns to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Governance activist Augustin Mukoka and other protesters were seen outside the UN displaying placards and chanting “Free Mundubile”, while also demanding justice over the death of former Minister Mutotwe Kafwaya and the release of Brian Mundubile, Makebi Zulu and other detainees.

But there is an interesting twist.

Earlier, Foreign Affairs Minister Mulambo Haimbe, who is representing President Hakainde Hichilema at the UN General Assembly, appeared in a video outside the UN and dismissed reports of protests against Zambia.

Then former Zambian Ambassador Emmanuel Mwamba appeared at the same location, challenging Haimbe to a bilateral meeting.

Mwamba says Zambians raising concerns internationally have been left with no option but to seek international support over what they describe as Zambia’s post-election crisis.

So what happened in New York?

And what message are the protesters trying to take to the international community?

🚨 25 DAYS AND COUNTING — WHY ARE ZAMBIA’S TREASON SUSPECTS STILL WAITING FOR COURT?

Brian Mundubile and Makebi Zulu were formally charged with treason on August 29.

Today, September 23, it is 25 days since the charges were laid — and they have still not appeared before court on the treason allegations.

They have now spent 27 days in detention.

The State says investigations are continuing.

The Law Association of Zambia (LAZ), however, has raised concerns about prolonged detention without court appearance and has reminded authorities of constitutional protections relating to personal liberty and the requirement to bring detained persons before court without undue delay.

Meanwhile, Mundubile, Zulu and other detainees have challenged their continued detention in the High Court.

So the bigger question is no longer simply what are they accused of?

It is:

How long can suspects remain in custody while investigations continue without the allegations being tested before a court?

Zambian Eye looks at the timeline, what the law says, the State's position, the LAZ intervention and the court challenge.

WHAT DOES THE CHILUBA–MWANAWASA POWER STRUGGLE TELL US ABOUT TEMBO AND MUNDUBILE?

Former Finance Minister Dr Katele Kalumba has drawn a striking historical parallel between Zambia's 2001 MMD succession struggle involving Frederick Chiluba and Levy Mwanawasa and the current political dispute involving Ezra Tembo, Brian Mundubile and the NRPUP.

But what exactly is the connection?

Kalumba's analysis looks at a bigger question: what happens when one political actor controls the party vehicle, while another becomes the main source of its electoral strength?

The 2001 experience offers a fascinating historical lens through which to examine what is happening in NRPUP today.

Zambian Eye has gone beyond the statement to examine the Chiluba–Mwanawasa precedent, the Tembo–Mundubile dispute, the question of electoral mandate and who ultimately controls the political vehicle after an election.

👉 READ THE FULL STORY:

Is Zambia witnessing a familiar political pattern — or is the NRPUP situation fundamentally different from 2001?
