LUMUMBA MEETS MUNDUBILE, WARNS ZAMBIA AGAINST SLIPPING INTO DIVISION
By BMM Media
A brief but powerful meeting took place this afternoon when renowned Pan-Africanist Prof. Patrick Lumumba paid a courtesy call on PF presidential candidate and Mporokoso Member of Parliament Hon. Brian Mundubile. The two leaders exchanged reflections on Zambia’s political landscape, regional stability, and the responsibilities that fall on those who seek to lead.
Hon. Mundubile shared the mounting challenges facing the Zambian opposition, particularly the tensions surrounding the ongoing constitution-making process being pushed by the UPND government. He expressed concern that the process is moving ahead without broad national consensus, warning that constitutions created against the people’s will rarely stand the test of time.
Prof. Lumumba, known across Africa for his principled clarity on governance and democracy, urged Zambians to safeguard the peace and unity the nation has enjoyed for decades. He reminded that countries such as Madagascar and Sudan offer cautionary lessons on the consequences of political exclusion, divisive reforms, and unresolved national grievances. Zambia, he said, must not walk the same path.
The professor also issued a sober warning about the rising frustration among the youth. He noted that impatience, economic stress, and declining trust in institutions can become a dangerous combination if not addressed with honesty and urgency. Without proper leadership, he cautioned, these pressures could push the country toward long-term instability.
Both leaders agreed on the need for political maturity, national dialogue, and a constitutional process that reflects the hopes of all citizens—not the ambitions of a few. Their conversation offered a reminder that Zambia’s stability is not automatic; it must be protected by strong institutions and leaders committed to the nation’s collective good.
During PF era Lumumba was a security risk. Today you are shaking hands.
Politics of the stomach.
Less than 10 years since the 2016 constitutional amendments, the constitution is undergoing more amendments. Have the 2016 constitutional amendments stood the test of time? Were the amendments people-driven? If only someone would answer.
Bringing back PF to power is the one which can make Zambia slip into division. At the moment, the country is peaceful and united. How many killings has Lumumba heard under UPND? Something which was a common occurrence under PF. Mundubile is not Zambia and is not possible to get the correct picture of Zambia’s political picture from him.
Yes,has Lumumba seen those lists of PF tribal appointments in government and parastatals
My advice to UPND Praise singers is to turn those lists into large placards so that whenever a PF leader, especially Mulenga Kapwepwe talks about tribalism at a rally,you just hold them up to her face.
Lumumba was persona non grata under PF. Now PF is turning to him for help. Next, they will be meeting with Seer 1 for more ‘Do as I says.’
These guys are really desperate to return to power.
Does this Professor Lumumba remember who deported him? The same crooks that he is meeting said he was a danger even before he set his foot on our soil. PF is a desperate grouping with no good intentions. They used to condemn USA and labelled it an imperialist nation. They loved China! But whenever they get desperate they rush to the US embassy, sometimes to even meet security guards there. Never to the Chinese embassy. They condemned Tanzanian sham elections but loved Zimbabwe’s that they even sent emissaries for the inauguration of the Crocodile. No consistency. They see tribalism in UPND and yet they have declared that only Easterner and Northerner should be on the PF ballot next year. As a result Given Lubinda and Grayford Monde been kicked in their oss so hard that they now look like monkeys. Anyway, enjoy Professor Lumumba, the man who was fired by President Uhuru for corruption related issues.
What has this dry lipped fella achieved in his home country, he is a time waster, actually he only makes educated people look foolish.
Keep on wasting your time with meetings while others are busy working campaigning on the ground.
Brian Mundubile’s already bagged the PF presidency. It’s done and dusted.
