Ethel Edwards Detained

Police detain youthful presidential candidate, Ethel Chisono Edwards, a Zambian national based in the United States.



The Police are said to have noted her entry at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport and alerted the cyber crimes unit at Service Headquaters that have been pursuing her.



In 2022 and 2023, Ethel issued a series of videos characterised by  strong language,  condemning President Hakainde Hichilema’s dictatorship and pledging to single-handedly remove him.

  1. Well done to the law enforcement. She is a flight risk and should not be given bond. After listening to the video, one would not be mistaken to conclude that she is a drug addict.

  2. Is this lady normal? In a way, God answered her prayer. Whoever was causing confusion and dividing the nation has been taken away ( ba mtenga).

    Something does not seem right about the mental state of this lady.

  3. In the meantime, all those that have been insulting ECL and non UPND people are still free enjoying their immunity. This is the selective justice we keep complaining about.

    REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.

    VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.

    • How do you compare HH and Lungu? HH is the head of state bwana.
      This problem of not believing that you are no longer in power is really eating you up, ka?
      Sober up and move on.
      The man you use to insult, ridicule, saying he will never rule this nation is now in charge. Take it or die with chikonko

      • This girl only called Hakainde a devil, and threatened to burn his white gloves. Is that a good reason to arrest her? Well, she will be released very soon as she is a USA citizen. Otherwise the USA will squash this oppressive regime. From the videos shared here, I do not see anything worth being arrested for. Let us wait for comment from the USA ambassador tomorrow. This girl will be out within hours. Can someone tag CNN and all media outlets about this arrest? Let the world judge for themselves.

        HaaNsama, there is no difference between ECL and Hakainde. They both do not deserve to be insulted. No one deserves to be insulted. People only insult Hakainde because he does not arrest those that insult ECL. Hakainde is not a god. He eats, he gets sick, he farts, and he shits, just like all of us. So let there be respect to all Zambians, not just your president. Let the law apply to al citizens, regardless of party and tribe. That is the Zambia we want.

        VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.

      • Ba Nsama, the law must be applied equally. It is not a matter of being President or whatever. Uncouth language is unacceptable and those found wanting must face the full force of the law regardless of their political leaning.

        Partiality in applying the law will result in people losing confidence in the justice system.

  4. “Malunga mbata a kulishakila” Mbunda language self inflicted suffering.Thanks to alert officials.Why do people behave like this? This is being unfair to your leaders.You can’t abuse a leader and remain comfortable.This is going beyond normal.

    • She is normal, only that she hates HH and Tongas to the core. For what reason, I’m sure some of you know because somehow your articles on HH and UPND share similar “feel of disapproval” except her version is crude while yours is urbane.
