KAFULAFUTA DISTRICT CHAIRPERSON DEFENDS PRESIDENT HICHILEMA'S REMARKS IN CHOMA

Pumulo Mubita Kafulafuta, Zambia .11th January,2026

The Kafulafuta UPND Political District Chairperson, Evans Lubemba, has defended President Hakainde Hichilema's remarks made in Choma, Southern Province, saying it's unfortunate that the opposition party, specifically those from the PF, are only focusing on the issues of tribalism and Bill 7.

Lubemba stated that it's not the first time the President is asking Zambians if they want to return to the days when people were targeted based on their tribe or ethnicity. He questioned why it's become an issue now, considering the President has been making similar remarks in every province, asking people if they want to go back to the previous government of PF, which had brutalized them.

When asked to comment on the President's statements over Bill 7, Lubemba said the Constitution Amendments Bill 7 it's meant to benefit all Zambians, regardless of their political affiliations. "It's unfair for some opposition parties to accuse the President of tribalism. What the President said is true, it's just that the truth hurts to hear," Lubemba said.

He added that Zambians saw what happened during the PF time, implying that the current government's efforts to address tribalism and promote national unity are being misinterpreted by the opposition.

The response from Evans Lubemba, the Kafulafuta UPND District Chairperson, has sparked a mix of reactions, with some people agreeing that President Hichilema's remarks were necessary to highlight the country's past challenges with tribalism.

However, others argue that the President's comments could be seen as divisive, and that the focus should be on uniting Zambians rather than revisiting past wounds. The opposition party, PF, has accused the President of tribalism, claiming that his remarks were aimed at gaining political mileage.

But Lubemba maintains that the President's comments are a reflection of the reality on the ground. He points out that the previous government had brutalized Zambians, and it's essential to remind people of the past to appreciate the current government's efforts.

The Constitution Amendments Bill 7 remains a contentious issue, with some arguing it's necessary for the country's development, while others see it as a power grab. Lubemba's comments suggest that the bill is meant to benefit all Zambians, but the opposition's concerns need to be addressed.

As the debate continues, it's clear that Zambians are eager for a more inclusive and transparent government. The President's remarks have opened up a crucial conversation about tribalism and national unity, and it's up to the leaders to ensure this dialogue is constructive and beneficial to all.

The real question is, will the government and opposition parties work together to address the country's challenges, or will this be another opportunity for political point-scoring? Only time will tell. For now, Zambians are watching and waiting.

MPONGWE'S PATH TO PROGRESS: CDF INVESTMENTS IN ROAD AND COMMUNITY

By Vickram emmessa mubita.

Mpongwe Town Council has taken a significant step towards enhancing local infrastructure and community development by procuring a K2.8 million Roller Compactor using the 2025 Constituency Development Fund (CDF). This move is part of the Government's decentralisation program, aimed at bringing development closer to the people.

The new compactor is expected to boost Mpongwe's road network, facilitating the transportation of maize and other commodities produced within the district. This development aligns with President Hakainde Hichilema's vision of using CDF as a key driver of community-level development. The Copperbelt region has already seen significant improvements in feeder roads, easing traffic flow and enhancing access to markets.

In addition to infrastructure development, the Council has also provided 77 bicycles worth K435,000 to Ward Development Committee members. This initiative aims to improve mobility and project monitoring in distant communities, enabling committee members to effectively oversee development projects.

The Council has also taken steps to empower residents economically. K3.4 million has been disbursed in loans to 50 beneficiaries, while K2.4 million has been awarded in grants to 105 cooperatives, clubs, and small enterprises. These initiatives are expected to contribute to the local economy and improve the livelihoods of residents.

The handover ceremony for these initiatives was held at Mpongwe Town Council and was officiated by Copperbelt Province Permanent Secretary, Mr. Lawrence Mwanza, representing Hon. Elisha Matambo. This event underscores the Government's commitment to decentralisation and community development.

The investments made by Mpongwe Town Council through the CDF demonstrate the potential of decentralisation to drive development at the local level. By empowering residents and improving infrastructure, the Council is laying the foundation for sustainable development and economic growth in the district. As the Government continues to prioritise CDF, it is likely that other districts will follow suit, leading to improved living standards across the country.
