CHEAP PROPAGANDA HURTS THE NATION: STOP IT !
The recent circulation of a fake story claiming that Zambia had been blacklisted and expelled from the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHCR) is a stark reminder of the damage caused by irresponsible and baseless propaganda. This false narrative, amplified by some in the opposition, including former senior government officials, is not only misleading but also harmful to Zambia’s image on the international stage.
As Zambians, we must collectively guard against the tendency to prioritize political gains over the reputation of our country. Baseless accusations and the propagation of fake news undermine the very fabric of our democracy and erode trust among citizens. Moreover, such actions risk alienating Zambia from the global community, which recognizes us as a nation that upholds peace, hospitality, and the rule of law.
It is concerning that individuals who once held positions of responsibility and influence – and who seek to preside over the affairs of the country once again – would engage in the dissemination of misinformation, knowing full well the potential consequences. Leadership, whether in government or opposition, comes with the duty to protect and promote the country’s interests – not tarnish them.
The United Nations in Zambia has clarified that Zambia has not been blacklisted or expelled from the UNHCR. This should serve as a reminder that truth prevails over lies. As citizens, we must question the motives behind such propaganda and reject attempts to mislead the public for personal or political gain.
Let us focus on constructive dialogue and solutions that uplift Zambia rather than tear it down. A united, informed, and vigilant citizenry is the best defense against those who seek to harm our nation’s image through deceit. Zambia deserves better, and it starts with each of us choosing truth over lies.

Sunday Chanda will one day become president of this country. He is a very responsible and hardworking Mp. I pray that God raises him high up for the service of this nation.
This is just some rogue ungrateful MP under PF trying to seek camp with the ruling. In dispensation that requires the opposition to mount pressure on the ones ruling this isn’t progressive. HH and his minions helped PF to sustain prices of things because they would raise tantrums at every slight upward adjustments in price or tax of anything.
THAT’S DEMOCRACY ! Sunday Chanda can’t make it to presidency only fools can envisage that type illusion.
Excellent!!! Truth always prevails. It is very clear that some very evil people have an agenda to hurt Zambia as a country.
It is advisable for government to take this attack very seriously and bring these characters to book. Such actions should not be taken lightly, these types of people don’t mean well for all Zambians and hence should with dealt with , cautiously professionally and expeditiously.
Don’t take this well thought out attack for granted, these types of guys play dirty regardless who gets hurt. Please deal with these characters, the law to correct this type of behavior already exists.
Further, one wonders about the level of intelligence of these perpetrators. As can be seen, they never considered that the UN itself would respond to their fabricated lies. This response has exposed them as lairs.
Hence one wonders the mental capacity of such individuals. Now they all have been brought out into the lime light as cheap propagandists. This is very concerning.
No apology from liars who like to spread bad news about Zambia and the current government. Instead, they move on to new lies. Pathetic.
Well spoken Hon. Sunday Chanda.
This is the time the law enforcement charged this guyd under the cyber laws. The evidence and witnesses are there. The laws are there for a purpose. Don’t waste opportunities on people who have no hearts and responsibilities. It’s time to act and rule. Let them prove their assertions.
Sunday Mwaiche wandi, you are a very balanced person. It is clear that you were brought up very well and surrounded people with good values. Keep up focussing on the bigger picture. Leave the evil people alone.
Amongst one of the few sensible upright person. Well stated sir.
He is just dull person this one ,is Zambia a member of the commission todate ,nomba
It’s always nice to read words from a wise man, Hon Sunday Chanda has wisdom in that head. It’s a pity some people don’t have this country at heart, they don’t care or mind about what they say, as long as their selfish end is fulfilled, to tarnish the name of the President. They forget that good or bad name for Zambia affects all of us and not the President alone. And when the long arm of the law visits them, they will be the same people crying victim and persecution. And they should be ashamed of themselves because whenever we hear of someone being arrested, it’s always the same people, their names are accurately predictable. Why are people like the same Sunday Chanda, Nevers Mumba, Andyford Banda, Chishala Kateka, Anthony Mumba etc not being arrested? Are they not opposition leaders also? Let them look at themselves, they need very serious introspection. This is 2025, we need serious development oriented people and not time wasters who always waste their time on cheap and unfounded propaganda. Let’s put our country first and not our stomachs.
People like emmanuel mwamba the chief propagandist I think the police should arrest such idiots and charge them highly for alarming the nation, emmanuel mwamba doesn’t fit to be a former ambassador unless to be an ambassador of lies,the guy should stop the nonsense
Don’t forget Monday was in the forefront spreading false propaganda against uond as PF chief spokesperson when they were in power. How come the sudden change? Could it be he is the one spreading the same at night while condemning it during the day.
