Hon Tasila Lungu Mwansa writes..

Dear Chawama Family,

I am sure by now you have seen the news reports that our Chawama MP seat has been declared vacant circulating widely.

We have made every effort to represent you, including virtually, (this facility is available to all MPs via Parliament) during this deeply painful mourning period as we have not yet laid Dad, H.E. President Edgar Chagwa Lungu to rest. Thank you also to our wonderful team of Councillors, Community members and Constituency staff who continue to coordinate and work tirelessly to serve you. Our ongoing Community projects include: Infrastructure (Over 12 km of paved roads, mother and child shelters, drainages, classrooms blocks etc.), weekly community meetings, engagement with school feeding programmes, church activities and the funeral support provided to grieving families which continues.

I wish to thank you all also for the love, prayers, and kindness you have shown me and my family from my days as your humble Councillor and now as your representative in Parliament. We continue to learn and grow together.

Take heart, we are going to fight to keep our Chawama Family strong and united. Let us remember that we continued working even as we faced a very challenging election petition for the same seat at the beginning of my term in 2021 which we overcame by the grace of God and all your efforts. That's Ubuntu, where there is a will there is always a way. We shall never lose hope.

One Zambia One Nation! 🇿🇲

I love you and miss you all. ❤️

Tasila Lungu Mwansa
MP, Chawama Constituency

An officer in the Guinea-Bissau 🇬🇼 army announced on state television that the president has been removed from office and that state institutions have been suspended until further notice.

President of Guinea Bissau , Umaro Embolo, has been arrested moments ago in his office at State House in the capital Bissau.

This comes after he had banned his main opposition and declared himself winner of an election held 3 days ago.

SADC TO TRAVEL TO ZAMBIA TO INVESTIGATE COMPLAINTS OF THREATS TO DEMOCRACY AND THREATS TO HOLDING OF CREDIBLE, FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS IN THE REPUBLIC OF ZAMBIA IN 2026

Gaborone- Monday, 24th November 2025

Following the complaint raised by Amb. Emmanuel Mwamba, Chairperson for Information and Publicity on behalf of the Patriotic Front, the SADC Secretariat has stated that it is dispatching the SADC Electoral Advisory Council to investigate allegations of manipulation of the 2026 General elections.

"The concerns that you have raised fallwithin the mandate of the SADC Electoral Advisory
Council (SEAC), which, incidentally, is preparing to travel to the Republic of Zambia to carry out a post-election review mission in terms of Article 7.3. of the revised SADC
Principles and Guidelines Governing Democratic Elections (2021)."

In his complaint to SADC, Amb. Emmanuel Mwamba catalogued serious issues that accused President Hakainde Hichilema of engaging in the process of stealing the largest political party in Zambia using state instutions and the Judiciary, had passed draconian laws that took away freedom of expression of citizens, was engaged in passing amendments of the Constitution that will negatively impact the 2026 General elections, and was actively undermining the independence and autonomy of the Electoral Commission of Zambia.

In a letter responding to Amb. Mwamba, Ms Onalenna Nthase, Senior Secretary Directorate of the Organ on Politics Defence and Security Affairs, she stated that;

"The SADC Secretariat takes note of the concerns that you raised in the letter mentioned above, and of your readiness to travel to Gaborone, Republic of Botswana, to further
make representations on the matter."

"The concerns that you have raised fall within the mandate of the SADC Electoral Advisory
Council (SEAC), which, incidentally, is preparing to travel to the Republic of Zambia to carry out a post-election review mission in terms of Article 7.3. of the revised SADC
Principles and Guidelines Governing Democratic Elections (2021)."

"These reviews are critical to address any post-election conficts, or evaluate
recommendations made by electoral observation missions, and as a platform through which Member States can be encouraged to implement all relevant recommendations
emanating from the SADC Electoral Observation Missions (SEOM) and SEAC Reports."

"Based on ongoing consultations with the Republic of Zambia, the Secretariat will
communicate with your offices on the dates and venue for the SEAC consultations with
electoral stakeholders in Zambia."

"This will be the ideal forum for you to make the
representations above."

The SADC Electoral Advisory Council (SEAC) is a technical body that advises the Southern African Development Community (SADC) on matters relating to elections, democracy, and good governance within the region.

It operates in accordance with the SADC Principles and Guidelines Governing Democratic Elections.

OASIS challenged PF on Bill 10, and now UPND must face the same pressure on Bill 7. The world is watching. Zambia is greater than any political party — democracy must prevail!"

24/11/2025

WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE MUST BE GOOD FOR GANDER.

Ba UPND seems to have memory yankoko, they forget very easily their past actions. Here you all can see that they protested bill 10 very freely but today they want to disturb those of us who wants to equally use the same constitutional right they used to protest.

Infact my appeal to the OASIS forum is to get these same statements the UPND made during their protest and use the same statement word for word because like the gentleman says even us who are Catholic faithfuls have been told by our church leaders to protest, so why should we refuse the instruction of our spiritual parents.

Ba OASIS must also be careful how they handle the proposed dialogue by state house because they may lose credibility next time especially if people will conclude that they have eaten. So the dialogue call is good but a double edged sword on the forum.

OTHERWISE WE ARE READY FOR FRIDAY.WE ALSO WANT TO PUT IT ON LECORD🤣
