NAKACINDA Jailed Six Months for Hate Speech

Patriotic Front –PF- faction Secretary General RAPHAEL NAKACINDA has been sentenced to six months’ imprisonment with hard labour for hate speech.

Lusaka Resident Magistrate IDA PHIRI delivered the judgement.

Magistrate PHIRI found Mr. NAKACINDA guilty of expressing hatred, ridicule and contempt against a person based on race, colour, tribe and place of origin.

The offence related to remarks concerning President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA’s election as Republican President in 2021.

In her ruling, Magistrate PHIRI said the prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt, leading the court to convict Mr. NAKACINDA.

However, following mitigation by defence lawyers, Magistrate PHIRI ordered that the six-month sentence would run concurrently with sentences in other matters for which Mr. NAKACINDA has already been convicted.

Magistrate PHIRI said a custodial sentence was imposed to serve as a deterrent to other potential offenders.

She warned that politics driven by hate speech can lead to division and polarisation within the country.

Magistrate PHIRI also expressed concern over the growing tendency by politicians across the political spectrum to engage in hate speech.

Mulenga Calls for People-Centered Development in Luanshya Central

Aspiring Luanshya Central Member of Parliament, Golden M. Mulenga, has called for leadership that delivers tangible, inclusive development directly to communities, emphasizing that progress must be felt in people’s homes and not limited to promises or isolated projects.

In a statement, Mulenga said Luanshya Central deserves leadership that prioritizes real, visible, and well-planned development, arguing that infrastructure projects must be designed with sustainability and community needs in mind.

“Development must go beyond constructing facilities without proper planning,” Mulenga said. “Building markets without adequate drainage, roads, or supporting infrastructure does not improve lives.

True development means safe communities, functional infrastructure, and opportunities that uplift our people.”

Mulenga stressed that a responsible Member of Parliament should champion inclusive growth by attracting private investment, supporting small and medium enterprises, and creating jobs across the constituency.

He added that public projects must be sustainable and deliver long-term benefits to residents.

He further noted that development efforts should extend beyond the town center to reach all communities, including the most vulnerable households. “Luanshya Central deserves leadership that listens, plans, and delivers—development that reaches every household,” he said.

As the 2026 general elections approach, Mulenga urged residents to unite around a shared vision for progress. “This is the future we must demand,” he said, calling on the electorate to participate actively in shaping the constituency’s development agenda.

KINGS MM MUMBI CALLS FOR FAIRNESS IN RCV AWARDS

Gospel artist Kings MM Mumbi has challenged Radio Christian Voice (RCV) to reform its annual awards, saying the current system lacks fairness and transparency.

Mumbi praised RCV for its long-standing contribution to Zambia’s gospel music industry but expressed concern that some awards appear to be influenced by personal relationships rather than talent and impact. He warned that this undermines the credibility of both the station and the industry.

He cited artists such as Chilu, Francis, the Chibesas, Vusi Fortune, Colin the Machine, Stanslous Bwalya, Toliwe Nyerenda and Ruben Kabwe as examples of musicians whose impactful songs deserve proper recognition.

Mumbi urged RCV to restore confidence in the awards by ensuring a merit-based and accountable selection process, saying the future of the gospel music industry depends on fairness.

RCV is yet to comment.

Teachers in Zambia Most Neglected Despite Being Pillars of Education-NAQEZ

The National Action for Quality Education in Zambia NAQEZ says teachers remain some of the most neglected workers in the country despite their vital role in national development.

NAQEZ Executive Director Dr. Aaron Chansa says many teachers continue to suffer poor conditions of service, with thousands still unable to receive their settling-in allowances when transferred.

He says this is unfair, especially when other government workers get the benefit automatically.

Dr. Chansa also highlights poor housing for teachers in rural areas, where some still live in grass-thatched houses, while other sectors receive modern accommodation.

He further points to salary distortions and long periods of acting without confirmation as major frustrations for teachers.

He insists his advocacy is not political but driven by a conviction that Zambia must treat teachers better.

Dr. Chansa says the country has the capacity to improve teacher welfare and warns that without proper motivation, quality education will remain unattainable.

Roan United booked their place in the 2025/26 ABSA Cup, becoming the first National League side to qualify. Their spot was confirmed following a gritty Week 16, 1–0 victory over Forest Rangers at Dola Hill Stadium last Saturday.

The win pushed Stylish back to the summit on 33 points, and with only two fixtures remaining before the season’s midpoint, they are now mathematically beyond reach for any team outside the top four.
