THE JUDICIARY: LET THE PETITION BE HEARD
My fellow Zambians,
Today marks a day when the silence must be broken and the truth must be spoken,not against power, but to power.
The wind blowing across our beloved nation does not feel like the wind of hope, change and unity that many of us desired. And so, with humility, courage and a sincere love for Zambia, I write this open letter.
Your Excellency, Mr. President-Elect,
When you were in opposition, you experienced persecution. Your family was raided and humiliated. Many of your supporters went through similar experiences. If what is happening today is vengeance, then perhaps those who support it may believe they have justification.
But, Sir, when you came into power in 2021, you made a promise to the Zambian people: that what you and your colleagues suffered would never be allowed to happen to another Zambian under your leadership.
You promised us a different Zambia.
A Zambia where the rule of law would prevail.
A Zambia where institutions would be respected.
A Zambia where justice would not depend on who is in power.
I speak today also from the background of things I have publicly said and prophesied.
God spoke to me clearly that you would be announced the winner of this election, a prophecy I publicly gave on Crowd TV on 16 th February 2026 without fear of contradiction.
Mr. President, if I am among those who publicly prophesied your victory, then I am certainly not against you. In fact, your victory establishes that the prophecy was fulfilled. I have no reason to fight against the very outcome I publicly said would happen. My concern is not your victory; my concern is what happens to our country after that victory
Two years ago, I publicly prophesied to Hon. Binwell Mpundu, when he was still the Member of Parliament for Nkana, that a time would come when he would flee Zambia. That prophecy remains in the public domain.
And when the opposition was only beginning to form, before nominations had even been filed, I publicly told Hon. Brian Mundubile on 15th April 2026 that he would face legal battles. Many people have since acknowledged what followed.
I mention these things not to exalt myself, but to explain why I cannot remain silent now.
Sir, a lot of Zambians are unhappy.
Not because you won the presidency.
Not because they oppose your leadership.
But because of the manner in which your presidency is beginning to be perceived and conducted.
And if this continues, your legacy may eventually be destroyed by the very things you once promised to change.
Sir, you are a firm believer in the rule of law. But today, courts are closing under your watch.
Young musicians and comedians are just people who were paid to campaign and earn an income but are being arrested.
People are becoming afraid to speak.
And this raises a painful question: Is this really the Zambia you promised us?
Sir, what happened in 2016 during your presidential petition cannot be allowed to happen again,not because you should be protected from accountability, but because you are now the President-elect, and you have the power to ensure that the Zambia you once demanded becomes the Zambia you now protect.
You have an opportunity to rise above political vengeance.
You have an opportunity to prove that power has not changed you.
You have an opportunity to show that the suffering you endured was not merely something you wanted to escape for yourself, but something you wanted to end for every Zambian.
To the Judiciary:
Your integrity is under serious public question.
But you remain one of the greatest hopes of the people.
Please, redeem yourselves.
The Constitutional Court must not allow the Constitution to die in silence. The courts must remain places where every Zambian,whether powerful or powerless, ruling party or opposition can seek justice.
Hear the petition.
Let the evidence speak.
Let the Constitution speak.
Let justice speak.
Mr. President, I know the Church has also been a disappointment. We have allowed political divisions to enter the sanctuary. We have chosen political sides when we should have chosen truth, justice and reconciliation.
But perhaps this is the moment for the Church to find its voice again.
Zambia is wounded.
Zambia is divided.
Zambia is tired.
And Zambia needs healing.
Mr. President, allow yourself to win both the election and the petition.
If you have won, let the courts confirm it.
If you have nothing to fear, let the petition be heard.
If your victory is genuine, allow the law to establish it beyond doubt.
That will not weaken your presidency.
It will strengthen it.
And to the Judiciary: hear the petition and redeem the courts.
To the President-elect: protect the Constitution and redeem your presidency.
To the Church: find your voice and help redeem the nation.
And to my fellow Zambians: let us refuse hatred, violence and revenge.
We must not destroy Zambia because we disagree over politics.
Zambia belongs to all of us.
Today, I am not speaking as a supporter of one political party against another.
I am speaking as a Zambian who believes that truth must matter, justice must matter, the Constitution must matter, and the future of our children must matter.
May God give our leaders wisdom.
May He give our judges courage.
May He give the Church discernment.
And may He heal our beloved Zambia.
Let justice be heard.
Let truth prevail.
Let the Constitution live.
And let Zambia heal. 🇿🇲
