OF EXPULSIONS AND RESIGNATIONS IN THE SOCIALIST PARTY

18th August 2024

The socialist party like a human body must lose some hair painfully as it may, because of the chemotherapy treatment as a result of the cancer that was eating her from inside.

We may even have been a little bit late in the diagnosis of the disease, letting the cancerous wounds spread and grow.  Therefore the pain must be felt before the final healing. That is what the socialist party is going through now. If we are kind enough, let’s call it internal cleansing, which is health for any organization.

The history of the post colonial political party democracy in Africa is a sad one and very new. In the case of Zambia, we have politicians who belong to 2, 3 or more political parties, through patronage, covert, tribal or for survival. I had friends in the socialist party who never believed in anything, except the preoccupation of winning the next election, because that is how they survive.  We have insisted in the socialist party workshops and meetings, the core business why we formed the party, theirs was just negative energy. It was a worst of time for some to having stayed even this long.

Because membership to a political party is open to everyone, we took it that after rigorous trainings, people can reform and act for once responsive to the needs of the poor working class people that we owe our existence to.

I ask the Zambian people, my fellow citizens to ignore slanderous comments against Dr Fred M’membe, president of your party, the socialist party. It’s a trend in the Zambian politics when you draw close to the next election, vultures of all kind, betrayers, sellouts, gang up in search for Greener lands.   Most of the defectors have a common principle, the quid pro quo.

The consolation is that the chemotherapy treatment is going on smoothly, the pain is bearable, the cancer that was fast spreading is under control.

Your party, the socialist party is and will never be for sale. The leadership, under comrade president, Dr Fred M’membe , our General secretary Dr Cosmas Musumali is intact, the Central committee, the national council, the provincial and all the lower organs of our party is intact.

To my fellow youths, let’s remain steadfast and loyal to the socialist cause, we have by God’s design more years and more future problems if we don’t do it right now. As long as we live, the socialist struggle continues. Aruta continua.

Long live the socialist party.
Long live the leadership long live.
Abash political opportunism abash.

  1. You need to tell us how you arrive at these expulsions, who decides to expel, when and where? does your party have a constitution with laid down disciplinary procedures? Do you follow or apply them? It’s like expulsions just comes to anyone who tries to cough, cases are not heard, people are never warned or suspended, it’s only expulsion which you know better. I feel that, that’s high degree of dictatorship even if you are trying to justify the expulsions. People should not live in fear, they should live with their freedom and enjoy their fundamental human rights freely. But with that state of affairs in SP, people will be leaving faster than they joined, leaving you with long articles of justifications on social and print media. I wouldn’t be surprised if one day I hear that, that young man is expelled. One has has to remain calm as a rabbit, otherwise the axe can fall on you at any time.
