AKASHAMBATWA MBIKUSITA LEWANIKA CALLS FOR NEW LEADERSHIP BEYOND UPND AND PF
Veteran politician Akashambatwa Mbikusita Lewanika has expressed concern over Zambia’s political direction, warning that the country’s future will remain uncertain if leadership continues to rotate between the United Party for National Development-UPND and the Patriotic Front-PF.
In an interview with Phoenix News, Mr. Lewanika says Zambia, like many African countries, needs a new brand of leadership rooted in service to the people and guided by national rather than personal interests.
He has observed that while some progress has been made, much more must be done to nurture a leadership culture anchored on accountability, humility, and long-term national planning.
Mr. Lewanika has further urged citizens to critically reflect on the qualities they expect from those seeking public office, emphasizing that good governance begins with informed choices at the ballot.
He adds that creating space for constructive dialogue and accommodating diverse political viewpoints will help strengthen Zambia’s democracy and promote more inclusive governance.
PN
I totally agree.
Politics of tribalism, corruption and oppression are no.lomger welcome in Africa. This memo was missed by Mr. ICUNSU. His lies have caught up with him. The next president should be a young person that means well for Zambians, not foreign LGBT masters and Freemasons. Let us get rid of recycled tribalist politicians and look to the youth.
COPY AND PASTE SOUTHERN PROVINCE.
UMUFULO PA MUFULO.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
You should go for deliverance. You are demon-possessed.
I have told you several times that you use your skull instead of your brain to think.
An idiot carrying a strong political name.
A fool who has always seen bad in others when he failed to manage Tazara. Such chaps should just keep quiet and enjoy eating fish. No wonder you have domestic problems.
Man Aka, sit down, you did nada
My big brother, you tried through your family party with your sister, Agenda for Zambia, but things didn’t work out. Just enjoy your chiefdom where mana is being provided for free. Don’t get yourself entangled in politics. You are above that. Don’t let us remind you of your mistakes in the past. The Russian national and subletting in Rhodes Park. I end there. Don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house.
This man was even removed as Chief cause he failed. So whatever he has done he has never excelled. This is what he knows what to do best. Open his mouth.
What did he achieve in UNIP? In MMD? Agenda fpr Zambia. Now he wants to pretend he has sone use to Zambians? This man should be playing with his great grand children not lecturing anyone. He is tooo old
The chief failure:
1- Under he failed to run Ministry, he resigned.
2- He failed to run a political party: Agenda for Zambia.
3- He failed to run chiefdom.
4- He failed to run Tazara.
5- KK appointed him to manage Zambia Clay Industries, he failed.
He hasn’t a business. He just moves aimlessly.
