COME 2026, ZAMBIANS SHOULD GET A BREATHER

….the UPND is the worst government since independence and Zambians are hungry, says Dr Musumali



KALULUSHI..  Wednesday July 9, 2025 — Socialist Party (SP) General Secretary Dr Cosmas Musumali says the people of Zambia should get a breather in 2026 after kicking the UPND out of government.



Dr. Musumali says the people of Zambia are hungry and that this is the worst government the country has ever witnessed since independence.


The Socialist Party General Secretary said this when he and other senior opposition party officials arrived in Kalulushi to drum up support for Tonse Alliance Candidate, Wisdom Simwanza, in the Ngweshi Ward by-election slated for Thursday, 10 July, 2025.


Dr. Musumali said the country is on autopilot.

“Today we had a meeting with my group and I said I used to think the PF was bad but these past four years, I have changed my mind. What we are facing today is worse than what we have ever seen. One cannot even compare with any party in government. So that’s what has brought me here, that’s what has brought me closer to the PF,” he said.


“What we are facing today is worse ever since independence. If we don’t change in 2026 but give them another five years, there will be no Zambia. My dear comrades, this by-election is not just an ordinary by-election. We have to send a signal and that signal is starting in Kalulushi.”

  1. No sir, if the PF continued, there would have been no Zambia today. Anyway more importantly you want to remove the UPND so that you can do what? You are not offering any solution to the problems you say exist. Giving Zambians a “breather” is voting for you without a programme? Sorry Sir that will not work.

  2. I like the enthusiasm of opposition parties. Its good to dream and try to be relevant in your political space. Continue to do what you do best, the people shall ultimately make the decision known in 2026. My take is, you may be far off the mark. UPND & HH with their flaws in my opinion are way better than at least the previous PF regime.

  3. This New Dawn UPND government is one of the best governments’ Zambia have had from independence to date. The last being being the notorious PF and the reasons are real and will itemize some of them here under

    PF.
    1. Created the deadly caderism groups that killed, insulted and maimed Citizens. Talk of KAMUGODI where hell was the order of the day in Lusaka.
    2. They created the imaginary commanders in markets and bus stops. The so called america one, commanda one and others. The bus stations was a no go area for anyone wearing red or any other party regalia apart from the PF green. This enacted a break-awày in the rule of law. Total madness.
    3. PF stole in day light without fear or shame from the commuters, transporters
    ( bus owners)and marketeers from bus stops and stations and also markets where they usesd to collect revenue and pocket it i instead of the Councils to collect these revenues for service delivery to the communities and salaries for their workers. Hard-cole thieves. Robberers.
    4. PF instigated the gassing scheme where fear was in every Zambians, and many were killed- lost their lives.
    5. PF smeared a very sad campaign of tribalism especially on the people of Southern Province, Western Province, Noth-western Province and parts of Lusaka and Central Province whom they, up to now call the Zambezi / Zambezia Province. Very sad indeed. A primitive way of thinking and diverting from the call – messsge from our founding fathers the KKs, Nalumino Mundias, Grey Zulu and Mainza Chonax to mention but afew of this Nation. The one Zambia One Nation Motto..
    5. They denied the people of, especially North-Western their derseved development being part of this Nation , called Zambia. Very sad indeed.
    6. They, PF selectively denied some native Zambians ( tribes) jobs in the civil service those who were already in the system were fired without reason but just because of either being Tonga, Lozi, Lunda, Luvale, Chokwe, Kaonde, Lamba, lenje to mentiom but just a few. They PF by all means wanted to fill almost all key government positions with their Bembaz and Nyanjaz. Very segregative. Starting from Ministers, Permanent Secretaries, Deplomats, Provincial Health and District Staff to mention but just afew with the Esterners and Northerners
    7. There was job freeze in PF
    8. PF borrowered recklessly, thr debts that UPND government is niw dismantling and paying. Not only this but they even defaulted in 2020.
    9. They gave to themselves contracts snd paid themselves for supplying air.
    20. They made stollen money mattresses and even burning money. This was total madness.

    This is just out of ten but PF bad things are many. So it is very sadnenning to hear the whole Musumali to say, PF was better than UPND is very astonishing, worrying and disturbing. Very sad indeed

  4. Mr.Musamali you are hungry cause you are lazy. When the American Ambassador was speaking last week he was referring to the likes of you. Yes, you who think some else should work while you unproductively make noise. What service do you produce Dr. Musamali? What do goods do you produce? Empty rethorics. Noise. Politiking is all you do. Living off so called “Well wishers” electing yourselves into a class called “the rulling class” that you have necer earned but that Doctorate. Do you teach? Where is your research? Have your peers reviewed it and found it worthy of the time spent on it? Trying adding value to the Zambian balance sheet in its GDP. As I doubt if you volunteer to any taxes.
    So before you start misleading people about hunger (cause you are lazy and expect handouts). Go out there and produce. During the draught. The vunlerable were fed by government and the help government recieved cause well wishers had the confidence in this government. Remember the dissmal reputation that PF left? Yes, bank rupt that this Government has had to build. So think before you make noise. Politik….cause that is all you and your peers in the Opposition are doing. No plan, no explain how you would do things under the current terrian. One wonder what you and Mmembe discuss when you sit? Gossip like women? That how you would serve us? Seriously?

  5. These people are blindfolding themselves in the day.In the night they wonder how UPND has managed to fix and attain the promises.They have become nocturnal.In the night they Kwenyuna with us, come day time they look upset and pretend not to see developmental progress and how people are pleased with UPND government with able leadership of HH.

  6. Do these Political Parties have clean and unstained Political Mirrors? What do they see when they stand in front of these Mirrors, or do they simply just ignore what they see reflecting back to them?

  7. Ba Doctor you are a Buffon. I have never heard you explaining anything about how you are going to improve the economy of this country, the only thing that you do day and night is to attack HH. Meanwhile, HH has done great works for the country. New down Government and HH have done extremely well. Can you and M’membe point at anything that you have so far done for the people of Zambia or what you indeed intend to do when you come into power (although i know that no one will vote for you).

  8. Just look at the nose of the person talking rubbish on social media, such people should be stripped of their doctorates because they don’t suit to be

    • And I did look at his nose when you said that,its like part of his brain was used to mend it.Ba Dr if you are wise eneough read these comments to give you the direction the country is going
