Mark Simuuwe, The Man Who Haunts the Opposition
By Tobbius Chilembo Hamunkoyo
Mark Simuuwe has become a towering figure in the UPND, and this is exactly why the opposition is terrified of him.
You may wonder that every move he makes attracts their panic, while PF and Tonse Alliance officials walk freely into Pretoria courts without anyone raising questions. Simuuwe’s influence is so strong that his mere presence unsettles political rivals, exposing their insecurity and fear of a man who speaks truth to power and defends the UPND with authority.
His stay in South Africa is not a mystery, it must be understood that he is there to keep the UPND administration informed on matters that affect Zambia’s political stability and image.
The opposition knows this, yet they deliberately twist the story to attack him. They cannot point to any law that bars him from attending court, nor can they deny that the Zambian embassy, as an extension of government, is obligated to ensure his security. Instead of admitting this reality, they create false narratives because they cannot match his courage and credibility.
The obsession with Simuuwe is nothing but fear. The opposition knows he is effective at countering lies, exposing propaganda, and keeping UPND ahead in the political game.
That is why they stalk his every move while pretending not to see their own leaders doing the same things. If Zambia is to have a fair political discourse, then truth must take centre stage. The more they attack Simuuwe, the more they prove just how powerful and indispensable he is to the ruling party and the nation.


Yes, his clarity and objectivity is far advance than that of Emmanuel Mwamba who over relies on AI to generate his knowledge but has no skills to even live in his own country
Simuuwe popularized “KWENYU”
Yes he explains with facts.
HAAMUNKOYO, keep believing in your own hype. The greatest opposition that UPND are facing are the Zambian citizens. They will vote bases on cost of living, and promises delivered. Load shedding, corruption, oppression will also be assessed when we vote next year.
REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
I see you have stopped with Edith Nawakwi
Yes, Mark, comes up with clarity once in a while but other times when he is short of topical issue he goes along with the usual political flaws, remember when AI’s phone call came to the public eye, he was quick to declare the video as AI without any experience in such determinations where he is neither an authority nor a leaner.
The south African high court offered very little as a result of the process above it, hence he now had to teach people about the meaning of sine die, my advice to him is to only come in when it is relevant otherwise, he will erase himself from the attention he currently commands because of irrelevancies. he needs relevance up to next year when he will be needed most, otherwise he may Fessel out when needed most towards the elections. Remember how people stopped buying the Daily mail and Times of Zambia during the PF times, it was all because of bringing up irrelevant topics of perpetual praise for a brutal regime. Let him moderate himself.
