EXPOSED: BISHOP ALICK BANDA FAILS TO INFLUENCE OASIS FORUM TO REJECT STATE HOUSE MEETING
Attempts by Archbishop Alick Banda, working in concert with Fr. Harrison Mulenga, to persuade the Oasis Forum to reject its scheduled engagement with President Hakainde Hichilema at State House have failed, with the Forum proceeding with the meeting as planned.
Sources reveal that Archbishop Banda had been lobbying behind the scenes for the Oasis Forum to insist on a neutral venue rather than State House. His efforts intensified after the Forum publicly confirmed its readiness to dialogue with the President over the contentious Constitution of Zambia (Amendment) Bill No. 7 of 2025.
Insiders say the move unsettled Archbishop Banda, who has not visited State House under the current administration, an absence some attribute to his longstanding closeness to the late President Edgar Lungu.
Fr. Mulenga, currently based in South Africa, is believed to have circulated messages urging the Forum to shun State House, claiming the environment would limit members’ ability to speak freely. However, this position failed to gain traction within the Forum, which opted to proceed with its engagement with the Head of State.
Observers note that this is not the first time such advice has emerged from Bishop Banda’s circle. Similar counsel was offered to the Lungu family regarding the non-repatriation of the late President’s remains, a decision that resulted in a private mass held in South Africa under Bishop Banda’s leadership, excluding many Zambians who once supported Mr. Lungu.
The failed attempt to sway the Oasis Forum has renewed concerns about the Archbishop’s involvement in partisan political manoeuvres. Critics argue that if he intends to participate actively in politics, he should do so openly rather than influence national processes from the shadows.
There are growing claims that these efforts form part of a broader strategy to position PF lawyer Makebi Zulu as the next Patriotic Front President, an arrangement linked to meetings in South Africa. Key PF figures such as Chishimba Kambwili, Brian Mundubile, and Miles Sampa may be unknowingly reinforcing a succession plan that excludes them.
Despite the behind-the-scenes lobbying, the Oasis Forum’s decision to go ahead with the State House meeting signals a refusal to be drawn into partisan agendas at a time when the nation seeks clarity, transparency, and unity on constitutional matters.
As the debate over Bill No. 7 continues, the spotlight remains on the influence of religious and political actors, and whether their interventions are guided by principle or ambition.

People say he’s luckier nemesis
Fellow Zambian citizens, we should open our eyes .more so the eyes of the hesrt.
I mean even when we see physically we should also be sensitive to what God is bringing in the open. I mean the coincidence of the much talked black prayer friday rally which was engineered by the Alick Banda Catholic preacher which saw many people especially from his supported PF dead Lungu in the morgue party where even makeibike zululuzulu who left eclu in the morgue in South Africa where him and estherla has been since wearing black since june 5.
Most important to think about is their much talked black monath blsck friday prayer rally st their Church st pope square yesterday ( friday) and
The usual black Friday calender yesterday.
Why so- these Catholics who crucified the LORD JESUS Christ are they still playing their evil to blind innocent Zambians in their satanic web?.
The black Friday which they chose for their black prayers rally at their Church in long-acres Lusaka. But surely uuuuummmm!!!
NIPANO TULI.
Mammoth rally in Church ?????????
May the ALMIGHTY GOD conginue shilding our Republican President; PresidentHakainde Hichilema. This Alick Banda son of NAKASHI is in the frefront of the regrouping of the criminals in Zpiefu But the Lord you serve your Excellencyid a BIG GOD
Jeremiah 17:7-8
But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.
Holy Bible (NIV) New International Version.
The Alick banda black friday group and their so called black friday rally in Church on a black friday is exposed
Wet blankets, bottle necks and scarecrows are detrimental to the development of a country as they peddle hate instead of peace and love.We are free to support any political party of our choice, as it is a fundamental right but we must do that with great responsibility of separating a right thing and wrong without biasness and with good morals.The conduct of some clergy remains questionable as they propagate the spirit of hate when they stand on the pulpit incouraging their congregants to dislike and hate innocent individuals with dramatic gestures and humour making their church members burst in laughter and amusement.These unGodly acts are sinful.
Zambia is larger than some Catholic Church Priests whose actions do not align with the teachings and principles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Church is merely a structure, but authentic Christianity is demonstrated through love, humility, integrity, authenticity, faithfulness, sobriety, and fostering unity. It is unacceptable that certain members of the Clergy are falsely predicting a bloodbath in Zambia and inciting ethnic tensions, which is misleading information and unfounded claims.
His Excellency President Hakainde Hichilema has accomplished a great deal during his four-year term, and the UPND manifesto along with the promises made were designed as long-term goals. To implement these, the government has established priorities, and the direction is on track. All Zambian citizens should engage in the efforts to realize the developmental objectives.
Zambia’s democracy and the enforcement of the rule of law and justice have significantly improved since the UPND took office. Individuals attempting to sow seeds of hatred and tribal discord are merely wasting their time. The Clergy who wish to be seen as righteous and true advocates for justice are often unreliable and exhibit inconsistencies and partisanship.
Archbishop Alick Banda’s hatred for HH is taking him very far and he thinks that he can be using God for his political and hatred agenda. He can even allow a political rally to take place in his Church, what God’s blessings can he get out of that? People should stop deceiving themselves. Jesus said his Father’s house shall be called the house of prayer but he has turned it into a theatre of politics.
Imagine, he wants to remove an elected President using the same people who elected him. Bishop Banda is a Church Leader but not an elected leader, therefore he has no mandate to stop the Con Amendment process because to do so is tantamount to imposing himself on people. There are many Zambians including Catholics who are supporting this process and Archbishop Alick Banda cannot just come from nowhere and stop it. Is he above our Chiefs, other Church Leaders, other CSOs and the general citizenry at large? HH is doing the right thing, he is consulting the people while Archbishop Alick Banda is doing a wrong thing because he is not consulting anyone, even when he came up with the idea of blocking the process, he had not consulted anyone. A leader who allows himself to be controlled by emotions, impulse and hatred is not a good leader and is dangerous because he can easily mislead the Church and the country at large. We want peace in this country and not chaos, the Bible says blessed are peace makers for they shall be called the children of God and that’s what we expect from Archbishop Alick Banda. You can’t incite violence from the same Church where you preach from because you can’t embrace love and hatred together. It’s not possible to have fresh and salt water from the same well.
Ba Banda also should stop threatening our President saying that Hakainde is playing with fire, what does he mean by that? Is he telling us that Archbishop Banda himself or the Catholic Church are the fire HH is playing with? If him as a shepherd is the fire, is that not scaring to the sheep? Nga meamona fye ba Bishop Alick Banda ninshi mwamona umulilo, kubutuka.
