Just like FTJ Chiluba, not much is known about Edgar Lungu’s parents and origins, a question which ran the course of his presidency and remains unanswered todate- Wynter Kabimba


1. Parentage
FTJ/ECL Symmetricism
It was a problem for FTJ to establish his paternal parentage which led to a protracted paternity case in the Supreme Court in 1997. Similarly, not much is known about ECL’s parents and origins, a question which ran the course of his presidency and remains unanswered todate.


2. Religious Faith


FTJ only became a fervent Pentecostal believer and Christian when he became president with Rev. Ben Hinn in the USA being his spiritual head. ECL only identified himself as a UCZ church member as head of state in 2015 with his feet deep in the Pentecostal movement. Both men attempted to use religion as a base for political power. FTJ declared the country a constitutional Christian nation in 1995 with ECL following to declare 18th October, a Day of National Prayer and hence a public holiday. He also created the Ministry of Religious Affairs for the first time in the country’s history.


3. Wealth Accumulation
Both men had an insatiable appetite for accumulation of unexplained wealth while holding public office leading to allegations of corruption and corruption prosecution for FTJ and pending prosecution for ECL.


4. Personal Health
Both men did not seem to enjoy good health after their public service leading FTJ to die at 67. Latest trending pictures of ECL on social media show a man under great stress and not at peace with himself. One thing easily noticeable are his bloated sagging eye buds.


5. Power Comeback
FTJ wanted a prolonged hold on power through a third term bid which failed and ECL is pushing for a comeback. Whither ECL?

The father of chawuka was nick named AFRICA because of his witchcraft. He used to work in Kalusha at the council. One he worked to the secretary of emoluments and demanded to be on the list to get an a ward. Labour day came and Africa was dressed in an expensive suit waiting to receive an a ward. He waited, but their was no award for him. Vividly annoyed he went to the secretary whom he had commended earlier that he should be on the list. Africa shouted at the secretary and three days later, the secretary disappeared and never to be seen up to day. Similarly, a kanyagu at Kalulushi Boma also disappeared in a very strange way.

That is very shallow. If I may ask. Who is the father of Sammy Chintomfwa Hakainde Hichilema?? Perhaps we need to start from there. ECL has a history and the people he went to primary school in Chimwemwe and secondary school at Mukuba in Kitwe are still alive. He has never changed his name unlike some presidents.
