THE OASIS FORUM HAS COMPLIED WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PUBLIC ORDER ACT FOR ITS NOVEMBER 28 PLANNED PROTEST TO STATE HOUSE
On the 10 of November 2025, Oasis Forum notified the Police of its intention to march from Freedom Statute to State House on Independence Avenue to protest Government’s rushed, non-inclusive and election centred Bill 7 constitutional reform anchored by the technical committee.
The notification was served on the Inspector General of Police at Police Service Headquarters after the Commissioner of Police in charge of Lusaka province refused to receive the notification.
The March past on Friday 28 November 2025 is part of the planned activities by Oasis Forum against Bill 7, others being the court petition which has been filed in the constitutional court against the current process, open letter to the President which was also delivered to state house on 11th November 2025 and the Black Friday campaign which encompasses honking, wearing black ribbons and displaying black car disks.
Additionally, the Oasis Forum’s campaign against Bill 7 includes letters addressed to each and every member of Parliament urging them to r vote against any ensuing Bill so that the people’s will is not frustrated. Oasis Forum has also circulated a public petition against Bill 7 calling on citizens to sign the petition to be presented to President Hakainde Hichilema and Parliament to signify the public’s rejection of bill 7.
The Oasis Forum calls on citizens to come forward in numbers and assemble at Freedom Statue for the planned March past to State House on Friday 28th November 2025 against Bill 7.
Yours faithfully,
For and on behalf of The Oasis Forum

Chairperson – The Oasis Forum
Very unnecessary, the technical committee did the consultations and the public responded accordingly and the Parliament will receive the document very soon.So the protest doesn’t make sense.These are the challenges of democracy, the executive is abused in the name of democracy and freedoms available.Peaceful demonstrations sometimes change to chaos.Probably a different approach can be used instead of marching.Traffic on Lusaka roads especially the independence avenue is usually bad the motorists will be highly inconvenienced.We can do better things than organizing passive forms of action.And the question is.Has the President welcomed you on that date? And what do you expect from him when he may not know what the submissions are? And mind you this is not the final stage of the amendment of the constitution.
Let them protest, its their democratic right. We are not in a dictatorship.
Muleta you are a danger to democracy and very soon you will realise who holds the real power. The Zambian people gave the president (HH) the mandate to preside over the affairs of this nation and today without shame you are asking whether the employee has welcomed his employers ? That is insane of the highest order or is it Bumushanina bwali ? The earlier you realised that Zambia is on a wrong path the better. What is happening on Friday 28th November is a clear message to the employee HH that we gave you power and we can take it away when we want. I rest my case
