HICHILEMA’S EMOTIONLESS, DETACHED, AND LYING LEADERSHIP
It is evident that under Mr Hakainde Hichilema and the UPND, tyranny is rising as good governance, democracy and constitutionalism sharply diminishing. This is happening day by day without shame or restraint.
Clearly, we have a leadership that is set to govern the country through intimidation, persecution, malice, and terror. The police and other law enforcement agencies are being used to abuse, pursue, and mistreat Mr Hichilema’s political opponents and private citizens under the guise of safeguarding peace and national security. They have unashamedly planned to suppress our rights, freedoms, and way of life to prevent us from holding them accountable.
Mr Hichilema is aware that his numerous failures have exposed him as an incompetent and incapable leader who is unable to fulfil the vast campaign promises he made to our people. And now that he can no longer manipulate and deceive the people, he wants to dodge responsibility by muzzling his political rivals, private citizens and other critical voices, through repression, victimization and abuse of state institutions, and systems. They are mercilessly choking everybody and everything that dares to stand in their way. They can no longer hide or pretend about their ruthless style of governance.
But we want to counsel Mr Hichilema and his league to realise that political contentment, national prosperity, peace, growth, and stability are directly linked to the moral character of any nation’s leadership. In essence, every single nation’s peace, justice, stability, and good fortune entirely rest on the quality, type, and spiritual outlook of the leadership they elect for themselves. If those elected into leadership are acquisitive or money-oriented, nonspiritual, insensitive, and cold-hearted, then that nation is destined for disaster. No matter how hard the leadership tries to entrench itself on the people, such a nation has no realistic chance of transitioning to tangible and sustainable democracy, peace, and prosperity.
As Christians, we must also not forget that leaders are representative or an echo of their spiritual life, beliefs, and upbringing. There is no single person in this world who reproduces what is not in the heart. Mind you, what is in the heart is a creation or sum total of one’s spiritual journey, beliefs, and childhood. In a nut shell, human beings are a product of what lies deeper inside them, mainly the awareness, recognition, or belief that there is a supernatural being (God) greater than themselves.
Therefore, no matter how resolute they attempt to disguise their narcissism, brutality, tribalism, and corruption; genuine and Godly leadership is not hard to discern, distinguish, and respect. As the Bible says in Proverbs 29 v 2: “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked man rules, the people mourn and lament.”
In this scripture, the Bible guides us that the one who rules matters! We therefore ask these questions: Do the people ruling us today possess any noticeable traits of compassion, honesty, decency, justice, or equity? Do they feel the current pain and misery of the people? Are people rejoicing or lamenting their ascendency? It goes without saying that at present, the nation desires a God-fearing, truthful, compassionate, sober, mature, and virtuous leadership. Of which, Mr Hichilema and his league fall far short of these capabilities.
May God help us!

President of the Socialist Party
Is Fred Membe God fearing person? He called his wife’s tribemen as Bantustans. He never paid tax to ZRA for his newspaper business.
Fred prides casting evil aspersions to anyone who hold a different views.
He is a capitalist turned socialist because of his lost of newspaper business. Yet he calls anyone who claims to be a capitalist as a puppet of the West
