Road to 2026-My Reflections
Family Let us Discuss my Prospects, Opportunities and Threats.
..the soil nourishes the plant, but the flowers makes the headlines and take the glory, that is the story of my life, I’ve been one that knows what I carry and what I grow and like the soil, I’m happy when others take the glory later…
When I returned from the tour of duty in December 2021 after being in diplomatic service for eight years, I decided to join politics.
I had the opportunity to join any other Party or form my own.
But I chose to join efforts with progressive forces trying to rebrand, renew and cause a rebirth of the Patriotic Front, a party that had just faced a humiliating electoral defeat in the August 2021 elections.
I decided to run for the Party President and hoped to eventually challenge President Hakainde Hichilema in 2026.
I was but an ordinary member in the Patriotic Front. But before long, the leadership recognised my work to help rebrand the Party.
I was appointed Member of the Central Committee and made official Spokesperson as Chairperson of Information and Publicity.
But before long, I faced arrests, torture, malicious and humiliating campaigns against my person and character, and suffered perpetual harrasments and intimidations against my life and that of my family.
OPPORTUNITIES
I looked back at my journey as a; Banker, Administrator, Diplomat and Leader.
I have had a flourishing career.
●I was official Spokesperson of the Second President, Dr. Frederick Chiluba for ten (10) years and dueing this period, held a position equivalent to Deputy Permanent Secretary during the period.
● I was privildged to serve as Permanent Secretary in; Northern, Eastern, Western Provinces and Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Services.
● I served as Zambia’s High Commissioner and Head of Mission to South Africa with extra accreditation to the Kingdom of Lesotho and Madagascar.
● I served as Zambia’s Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Ethiopia, with extra accreditation to Somalia, Sudan and Djibouti.
● Permanent Representative to the African Union (AU).
● Permanent Representative to the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA).
THREATS
In December 2024, the threats against my life were so high that if I stayed a day later, I would probably be a dead hero!
This was besides the confirmed leaked plans that there was great malicious effort that I should not receive Justice in the 3 cases I was facing in the courts of law; (Alleged case of Sedition, case of alleged assaulting a Police Officer and a misdemeanor of allegedly causing misconduct at a police station).
I didn’t fear going to prison over these false and trumped up charges against me, but it were the serious threats against my life that worried me.
I was privilidged to travel to the United Kingdom and the United States for international work, between December 2024 and February 2025.
In my reflection during this period away from home, I used the opportunity to assess the threats against me and my life.
These remain present and remain as high as they were in when I left.
TRAVELLING BACK
So now with the 2026 general election approaching and a primary election in my Party which I enlisted in 2023 due, I’m thinking of returning home.
But upon arrival, it is clear that, I face arrests, being jailed without hope for police bond or bail and I must mention, the the threats against my life have never gone away.
What should I do?
Thinking..
CONQURE YOUR FEAR, AND COME SERVE THE SENTENCE, YOU CAN’T RUN FOREVER AS A FUGITIVE, THAT ONLY HAPPENS IN MOVIES.
CONQURE YOUR FEAR, COME BACK AND SERVE THE SENTENCE, YOU CAN NOT RUN AS A FUGITIVE FOREVER, THAT ONLY HAPPENS IN MOVIES
Come back and face justice. That is all there is, justice!
Come back and finish what you started, you’ll be fine. Not a good diplomat, lay in the bed you spread
Who cares what you do?!! You are a fugitive from justice. Of course you will be arrested when you return! Your attention seeking knows no limits. You overestimate yourself. Who would bother to kill you? You aren’t and never were a factor. Not even your PF presidential contestants are bothered by you. Stay a fugitive or come and have your day in court. We have more important issues that concern us.
Just come home and face justice. Of course you will be arrested since you are a fugitive from the law. You jumped bail or bond and that in itself is an offence.
Please don’t say you decided to join politics after your stint as a diplomat. Even as a diplomat, you were a politician. During the run up to the 2021 elections, you abandoned your work station to come and campaign for Mr. Lungu. You and your friend Mr. Mukwita.
Mr. Chishimba Kambwili and Munir Zulu were man enough to face the due process of the law and serve time. You were chicken and decided to run. Now you are having second thoughts. It was not such a smart move after all.
When he sneaked out of the country did he consult anybody here? Why is he asking us about his dilemma to sneak in now? Bakulindila pa KKIA.
Stay where you are
Do us a favour and NEVER return.
You are destined for prison, if you come back we will stone you
If you are innocent why run away? The guilty are always afraid. Just wait till Trump deports you then you will be brought here in chains.
Why did you run away in the first place?
