GIVE US A CHANCE TO LEAD IN 2026
YOU WILL NOT REGRET

The problem we have in Zambia is that our top leaders are in business, they are shareholders and are doing business instead of providing leadership. They are in government to do business.

But let us learn to speak out and address these many issues. Our people need to grow an intolerance of corruption, injustice, lies, inequalities and intimidation among others.

We believe that our lasting solution to Zambia’s deep economic difficulties does not lie in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). FDIs will not bring about the development that we need. The lasting solution to our crisis does not lie in the IMF or in a debt restructuring deal.

Zambia has to find a new way of developing.

Our lasting solution lies in the collection of fair and adequate revenue from the mining sector for support to secondary industries such as manufacturing.

It lies in the development of the arts, a hugely important industry that those in power today have reduced to a footnote in a ministry!

It lies in increased state support to agriculture and enhanced food security, but those in power today are quicker to listen to the IMF and remove subsidies on farming inputs even when the US and other Western countries till subsidise their own agriculture industry.

It lies in increased state investment to social sectors such as education and health.

  1. Kikikikiki who can vote for your bunch of soar mouthed lot? Ba Mmembe, you are such a dictator. All your leadership was appointed by you, no convention to elect office bearers. We are enjoying democracy, cannot vote for your useless party of failures.

We are enjoying democracy, cannot vote for your useless party of failures. All your office bearers have been failures from other parties.

    • The Non-Zambezi province people if not excluded from voting will never again for your lot.
      Go ahead with your plans for a one party system!

  3. Yabaaaa! Aweeee sure. Kikikikiki but Freddiiii . Aikona mweee.The fallen Post News Paper proprietor and Zambian Airways ( one of the Directors with his friend MN)

    BABAA to run a Country is a serious business. It’s not for crooks like you the tax fraudster! No baba. Look at how KK managed the affairs of the Country. He even created empires that could have been competing with the likes of Shoprite, PICK and Pay, Choopied and alike. Think of ZCBC, NIEC STORES, ZCCM, SERIOS, Livingston motor Assembly, Vita foam, Mwaisen stores, ( with some of our Zambian products like TipTop drink, Kwechi, Tarriono to mention but a few,)

    Look at how Levy Patrick Mwanawasa controlled and managed the affairs and the economy of the Country. Infact you was one among the those who critised levy on everything with your other friend – king cobra a bunch otherwise group of
    the vocal and critic of Levy Patrick Mwanawasa with your promised promoter Sata. You even stopped paying tax to the government because you became big headed but ECL reduced you to where you belong now ati SP president.

    By the way what role did you play in the fall of Zambian Airways.

    Coming to the main issue here Mr. Freddie running a country is a very serious business and you have to be serious business minded not what you are saying aweeee baba. Nimasobela ayoo.

    Business started with the Creator Himself the LORD GOD. It started in Genesis. All that He worked for in Six days is still reproducing. Just like a Country what it will properly put in place with good Country Managers always reproduces. The great thing is to fill up the earth ( that is multiplication) have dominion and control. This is what China and other European Countries are doing babaaa.

    When you hear HH saying Zambians form or enter into partnerships with international business entities that is the way of coming closer to dominance and control because you will be there and sum up to multiplication. This can just be seen by people and with people with eyes of the heart on top of the physical ones. This you know.

    Listen to this scripture and hear what the king said in Mathew 25 verses 14 – 32

    The story of talents. The ones who did well started ruling with the king. Read through carefully.

    Matthew 25:14-34
    King James Version
    14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

    15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

    16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

    17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

    18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.

    19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

    20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

    21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

    22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

    23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

    24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

    25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

    26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

    27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. ( Profit or interest)

    28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

    29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

    30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

    32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

    33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

    34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

    For Zambians to do better, we should have the mind of business. Be busy for something it pays.

    Not what you are dreaming while seated baba zerooo. Running a Country is a very serious business.

    It has to be managed properly so that it reproduces.

    • Socialism has never worked anywhere and there is no reason to expect that it would work here. Besides, socialism is synonymous with dictatorship.

  4. NIV BIBLE

    We can’t vote and give chance to a tax fraudster with no proper vision and plan for the Country. A person who always sees wrong in HH from the time of you post news paper to date no good word had ever come from your mouth on HH. Infact you are one of those who delayed the HH Presidency but God’s time is always the best.

    The story of talents.
    Serious leadership business mind.

    NIV BIBLE
    Matthew:25

    [14] The Parable of the Talents “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them.
    [15] To one he gave five talents of money, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.
    [16] The man who had received the five talents went at once and put his money to work and gained five more.
    [17] So also, the one with the two talents gained two more.
    [18] But the man who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.
    [19] “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.
    [20] The man who had received the five talents brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.’
    [21] “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
    [22] “The man with the two talents also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two more.’
    [23] “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
    [24] “Then the man who had received the one talent came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.
    [25] So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’
    [26] “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?
    [27] Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.
    [28] “‘Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents.
    [29] For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
    [30] And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

    We have a person with clear plan and vision for the Country Man HH. The President of the Republic of Zambia

  5. Surely is this what the president has hired you for? Writing essays and speeches with no substance
    True , Meembe is really right about revenues from mines. This is exactly what HH was saying in opposition that renewable resources, reviving mining taxations and putting the Zambian people first. The fact that UPND cadres have forgotten about this, it’s seems to me the is either they are suffering from amnesia. Let’s agree on issues that are true

  6. You started the bantustan language and you want my vote? Never. HH is on the right trajectory, it’s that you and your fellow tribesmen always want to be in leadership.
    This time you just watch from the terraces.
    This is what we have been feeling for years, and you can’t take 5 years. You are jokers.

  7. I agree with Dr. M’membe on the issue of taxing the mines. FQM siphoned USD2.1billion and invested in a copper mine in Panama. Mr. Kasolo, the former ZCCM-IH Managing Director, tried to pursue the matter and we were winning the case in London but the PF government fired him and the case went cold. FQM behaved most dishonourably over this matter.

    Next we heard was that the UPND government had traded the 20% ZCCM-IH shareholding for some 3% (?) of sales payment from FQM, a deal I have failed to understand. We are not getting a fair return on our natural resources. No one ever talks about the emerald industry and how much tax we are getting from that source.

    Coming to voting for Dr. M’membe, this would be a disaster from what I have seen of his leadership style. He seems to be the only one who does the talking. The vocal Mr. Antonio Mwanza is nowhere near the microphone. The SG, Mr. Musumali, barely utters a word. It would be interesting to hear what his former coworkers at Post Newspapers have to say about him.

    His incessant unfavorable criticism of the President portrays him as one who sees no good in others. His outdated Socialist idealogy makes him come out like someone who is out of touch with reality.

    Mr. M’membe would be a dictator and it would be difficult to dislodge him. There is a lesson from history. Hitler ascended to power through the ballot and then went on to wreak havoc not only on Germany but on the world as well.

  8. Animal farm Mmembe after Investrust, Zambian Airways, Post who would vote for a failed man? More so Napoleon the Pig….

  9. It would be dangerous to put Fred as head of state. He is too bitter against HH to rule justly. He will be a dictator.

  10. Let him start from Ward Counselor position and rise through the ranks!
    It’s time we stop direct entry to position of president!
    It’s only through this rigorous approach that we can identify good and capable leaders!
    This is what China and Singapore use with a mixture of ideologies!
    It’s called MPH (Meritocracy, Pragmatism and Honesty).
    Meritocracy means you have a proven track record of success in lower ranks of managing Public affairs and now able to be trusted with bigger roles!
    If you look at President Xi, you will find that he managed a Province in China before rising to the Presidency! We need this approach in Zambia!
    Pragmatism means if a cat is able to catch a mouse, it does not matter what color it is! You don’t get bogged down with ideologies! This is the reason China uses a mixture of ideologies of Capitalism and Socialism, not just one as some want to make us believe!
    Honesty is a big thing! Many of our aspiring presidential candidates fail this test from their past track record!
    Someone who is a convicted Tax evader is not fit for Public Office!
    A Lawyer who defrauded vulnerable clients is supposed to be behind bars like Tax evaders!
    If we could be diligent as voters to vote only for leaders who fulfill these criteria, our country would be a better place!
