I WELCOME THE MOVE BY THE GOVERNMENT TO AMEND HATE SPEECH LAWS IN ZAMBIA
This afternoon, the President announced that the cabinet met yesterday and agreed to address this issue urgently. This is great news for our nation, as some misguided politicians who thrive on divide-and-rule tactics have been taking advantage of dividing Zambians for personal gain.
Thank You, President of Zambia, for Strengthening Hate Speech Laws.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to President Hakainde Hichilema and his cabinet for their decisive action in amending Zambia’s hate speech laws. Mr. President , your commitment to making these laws more stringent sends a powerful message that hate speech and divisive rhetoric have no place in our society.
For many years, I have written and advocated for stronger measures to curb hate speech, recognizing the urgent need to promote respect and unity among our citizens. The amendments introduced by your administration mark a significant step forward in safeguarding our political environment and ensuring that offenders face appropriate consequences.
This move will undoubtedly contribute to bringing sanity and decorum to our politics, fostering a culture of respectful dialogue and mutual understanding. Thank you, Mr. President, for your leadership and dedication to creating a more harmonious Zambia.
Mr. President, you have addressed many issues that some of us have raised for many years, including punishment for those who steal public resources. As a concerned citizen, I am very happy and looking forward to seeing these things come to pass.
You have also acknowledged the pathetic work culture, which is a cancer in the public sector. Fixing this issue is essential, as it affects service delivery.
Once again thank you so much for your positive response to issues that are affecting your citizens.
Wishing you all the best and God’s blessings as you try your best rest our economy.
Yours sincerely,

Just a total waste of time..We have lived in Peace and harmony under different governments . Absolutely no one in previous governments has ever been brought to court, detained or imprisoned for hate speech. Why Now ?? Why are we having this Paranoid obsession with Tribe NOW ?? We don’t want deliberate distractions, time wasting detours to hide your failures.
We have serious issues affecting the country than self serving Tribal Paranoia….whose objective is there for all to see.
Attend to the high cost of living, roll out the mitigations especially among the vulnerable for the crop failures, attend to the 14 hours Load shedding we are having, Look at the challenges in school over the so called free Education, prepare for the next farming season, prepare adequately for the new school curriculum you want to roll out..and many more critical issues requiring leadership. Tribal Paranoia is for a sick mind…We have no time for bills designed under false pretenses.. Don’t Force Tribal Paranoia to be the main Stream issue… Twakana. Get to work on real issues.
@Hallucinating Hypocrite
Please tone down you’ll collapse with your anger against Bally. Your mind is poisoned with hate so you can’t see any good in Bally, please settle down. These are matters arising and they need to be addressed because they have potential to bring in big problems. This is good for our country and let’s support the course of action.
What a load of malarkey!
You always see the Zambian situation through the prism of insecurity. You will defend nonsense at all costs as a result!
Twapenga ba dala. These are the issues for us in Southern Province:
Hunger,load shedding,high cost of living.
We dare not complain lest we attract calls of lynching for betraying the firm !!!
Siakaile Siakaile you look at this guy the his Face is full of evil, hatred and it appears it’s within his DNA. He preaches hate but hide fake titles of human rights activist.
The root cause of people talking about why Tongas are promoted in higher positions . Why people from Northern and Eastern regions demoted , put on forced leaves , displaced by only Tongas . As long as the This trends do not stop, you will continue to hear and see people speak against this behaviour by HH . People don’t hate the Tongas it’s HH promoting and enhancing tribalism and those beneficiaries are not in anyway or another see this is evil and does not deserve respect or support by well meaning Tongas
