SP LABELS UPND’S FOUR YEARS IN OFFICE AS “FAILED TENURE”
….says the cost of living in the country has skyrocketed
Lusaka… Wednesday August 27, 2025 – Socialist Party President Dr. Fred M’membe has described the four years of the UPND in office as a “failed tenure.”
Dr. M’membe has argued that the promises that were made by the UPND have not been translated into reality.
He laments that the cost of living in the country has skyrocketed.
He claimed that people rarely see electricity as they leave their houses and return back home without power.
The Sociality Party leader said this when he featured on The Socialist Hour radio programme on Hot FM in Lusaka.
“The promises of 2021 have not been translated into reality. People don’t feel the changes that were promised. If they have been delivered, people would feel it. Instead of cheaper mealie meal, we have record breaking prices, instead of having jobs, we have more youths rooming the streets, instead of free education, we have overcrowded classrooms without teachers and books,” he said.
“What the people got was a slogan ‘Kwenyu’ while their pockets were emptier. The truth is the promises of the UPND have failed to transform the lives of the people of Zambia. There is no positive impact on the lives of our people. The living conditions of our people have really deteriorated.”
Dr. M’membe has also asserted that people are living in fear as they are scared to talk freely for fear of being arrested.

Fred you are insane period.
The person who failed is Mr fuledi mmembe himself who never submitted money to napsa for his workers.
You know, on can only project in others what you really are! It is no wonder. Good part is that he is speaking to his constituency or should I say to his cult! We can only wish him the best.
HaaMwansa,
Your language means you can’t be followed and your are in the minority. It is this kind of language that Zambians felt could not stomach anymore. Retract it. Labeling your friends saying they are in a cult will cost you more.
A hard core tribalist and an Idiot. From Congo just like Mumba/Muamba who is from Tanzania, you are not coming back Idiots.Tantemeni is finished go to work. Keep on making noise here it will never work. Hatred will take you to an early grave.You really believed that you would continue eating forever.God is really good.
HaaMusonda, you are a very bitter boy. That is what happens when you grow up without knowing who your father was. Maybe your father was also a cattle thief from Gwembe. That man abandoned so many of his children. All his children are very messed up. Be strong, it is not your fault.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
If someone can’t run a newspaper, fail to pay workers compensation. Then just know they id big trouble. In most Western nations failing to pay workers compensation is a criminal offence the can send you to prison and get you bankrupted. He would ashamed to even come and pretend to practice politics.
Ba Dr. M’membe, mulebako serious. After the the disaster that was PF rule, you honestly expect things to be corrected in four years?
UPND has performed remarkably well considering the daunting task they faced when they took over from the PF. They managed.to restructure the debt which was suffocating economic growth. They have laid a firm foundation for the economy to grow.
Surely people should be allowed to have an opinion without being attacked. If Fred, like the majority of citizens, thinks Hakainde has failed miserably, respect his opinion. Not everyone is a UPND cadre or praise singer. The majority are actually patriots that do not follow a kachema blindly like cows.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
Some opinions are so frivolous that they attract the wrathful responses from the majority right thinking Zambian citizens.
Respecting his opinion doesnot mean keeping.silent.
Awe naimwe.
You worship Hakainde as if he is a god. No wonder he does not improve in his performance. You attack every citizen that critises this government. Criticism is not hatred, but an act designed to motivate to
Hakainde to do better. Mwanawasa encouraged citizens to criticise him, and his performance became the best we have ever seen in Zambia. He was a proper leader, RIP.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
Your language means you can’t be followed and your are in the minority. It is this kind of language that Zambians felt could not stomach anymore. Retract it. Labeling your friends blind cows is in Zambian and will cost you more.
And Zambians label your whole life as a failure.
Chikala cha wiso.
