PF’S DANGEROUS OBSESSION WITH WILLA JOSEPH MUDOLO

By Chilufya Kasonde

The Patriotic Front (PF), once the ruling party of Zambia, is now at risk of sinking deeper into political irrelevance, all because of its dangerous obsession with Willa Joseph Mudolo, a Zambian businessman based in South Africa, as a potential presidential candidate. For reasons that can only be explained by the lure of money, some PF officials—among them Raphael Nakacinda, Davies Mwila, Daniel Bukali, and Mumbi Phiri—are pushing Mudolo to the forefront of succession discussions, even at the expense of long-serving and loyal members like Given Lubinda and Brian Mundubile.

But here lies the problem: how do these PF officials expect the Zambian people to elect as President a man they barely know? Outside the PF inner circle, Mudolo is practically unknown to the ordinary Zambian. Worse still, among those who do know him, he is associated with a string of criminal cases in South Africa—cases ranging from financial fraud to being found in possession of human body parts. Mudolo’s name has even surfaced alongside that of the controversial Malawian preacher, Shepherd Bushiri, in charges that forced Bushiri to flee South Africa.

If PF officials genuinely believe this is the man who can carry the hopes of millions of Zambians, then they are either delusional or outrightly dishonest. Imagine the national embarrassment of electing a President today, only for him to be convicted in a South African courtroom tomorrow. Such recklessness does not only expose the PF’s lack of seriousness but also insults the intelligence of the Zambian people

The truth, however, is glaring. The PF officials championing Mudolo’s name are not motivated by loyalty, vision, or principles—they are motivated by money. Mudolo has been dishing out cash to secure their allegiance. Reports are rife that Nakacinda pocketed US$150,000, Bukali received US$100,000, and Mumbi Phiri recently returned from South Africa with US$20,000, which she has not even disclosed to her colleagues. Shockingly, Amos Malupenga, a former Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Services and PF Member, is slowly falling in the Mudolo trap as money smells directly on his noise. The PF’s love for money is so notorious that it seems whoever comes with the largest envelope instantly becomes the party’s chosen candidate, regardless of their character or record.

Yet, this greed-driven strategy is unsustainable. Mudolo himself is not a bottomless pit of wealth. His wife has been declared bankrupt, and even their accounts in Zambia are reportedly insolvent. How then can PF hope to fund its revival and electoral battles on such shaky financial foundations? This is not a strategy—it is a gamble on dirty money.

Thankfully, not all PF members have lost their moral compass. Figures like Professor Nkandu Luo and Reverend Godfridah Sumaili have openly distanced themselves from this circus of money-chasing. They have refused to sell the party’s legacy for a few bundles of dollars, proving that not all hope is lost.

But make no mistake: PF’s current crisis is one of its own making. The party failed to put in place a credible succession plan when it mattered most. Today, instead of building on its past achievements and preparing its leaders like Lubinda and Mundubile, PF has allowed opportunism and greed to take over. That is why it now finds itself flirting with disaster—pushing forward a man whose record makes him a liability, not an asset.

The Zambian people deserve better. They will not be fooled by dollar-driven politics, nor will they entrust State House to a man entangled in foreign criminal charges. PF must wake up from its illusion, or risk collapsing completely under the weight of its own obsession with money.

WHEN VULTURES CIRCLE THE SKY: PF LEADERS SCRAMBLE FOR MUDOLO’S HANDOUTS

By NLT 1 Scholar

The Patriotic Front (PF) Central Committee meeting this past weekend has once again exposed the rot eating away at Zambia’s largest opposition party. What should have been a sober gathering to reflect on the party’s future was instead marred by hypocrisy, greed, and revelations of senior leaders lining up for financial handouts from South Africa-based businessman Joseph Mudolo.

According to inside accounts, the mourning period for the former first family has been turned into nothing more than a cash cow. Senior PF officials, under the coordination of former Secretary General Davies Mwila and former lorry boy turned Permanent Secretary Daniel Bukali, have been organizing trips for party members to Johannesburg. The mission, cloaked under the guise of “solidarity visits,” is alleged to be nothing more than a well-oiled channel for collecting envelopes from Mudolo.

One of the names that stands out is former PF Deputy Secretary General Mumbi Phiri, who reportedly pocketed $20,000 in hard cash last week. We challenge her to deny this, at the risk of evidence being released to the public. She is not alone. Acting PF President Given Lubinda, current Secretary General Raphael Nakacinda, and several provincial chairpersons—except for the unsuspecting Malozo Sichone—are said to have benefited from Mudolo’s generosity. None of these transactions have been declared to either the PF structures or the Zambian people.

These revelations lend credence to constitutional lawyer John Sangwa’s persistent call for the enactment of a Political Parties Bill, one that would force political organisations to disclose their sources of funding. Without such a law, political parties risk being turned into nothing more than vehicles for personal enrichment, with their leaders masquerading as martyrs while flying out of Kenneth Kaunda International Airport for their next payday in South Africa.

Like vultures circling the sky, PF’s top brass have shown no shame in their conduct. They are ready to sacrifice integrity, sell out their party, and betray their supporters, all for a share of Mudolo’s riches. To them, politics is not about ideology, values, or service to the people—it is about what goes into their pockets.

The PF leadership must be reminded that Zambia is watching. For every flight to South Africa and every unaccounted dollar pocketed, the party’s credibility continues to evaporate. If these men and women cannot stand on principle, then they are nothing more than scavengers feasting on the carcass of a party in decline.

Indeed, our dossier grows thicker by the day.

Mundubile jumps ship

CRACKS in the Patriotic Front (PF) and Tonse Alliance have widened with presidential front-runner Brian Mundubile seeking to contest the 2026 presidential election on the Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) ticket.

Sensing the unending confusion in the former ruling party and the fragility in the Tonse alliance, Mundubile has approached FDD interim president Chifumu Banda with an offer to buy the opposition political party formerly led by the late Edith Zewelani  Nawakwi.

Mundubile is also promising State Counsel Banda of the running mate ticket in the 2026 general elections or the position of Speaker of the National Assembly.

Mundubile, Mutotwe Kafwaya, and other PF leaders, mostly from the northern and eastern blocks, have rejected manoeuvres by faction pary leader Given Lubinda, secretary general Raphael Nakachinda, and others such as Davis Mwila to sell and handover the leadership of the PF and Tonse Alliance to South African based Zambian business man Willah Joseph Mudolo.

Mudolo has been releasing huge sums money to PF leaders in exchange for party leadership position.

On the other hand, pressure is mounting on how to deal South African based Zambian business man Willah Joseph Mudolo who has already cashed huge amounts on some PF senior leaders in exchange for party leadership.

Earlier this month self-proclaimed PF die-hard, Chanoda Ngwira, accused Lubinda and Nakachinda of pocketing $200,000 and $150, 000 from a South African businessman in exchange for the PF presidency.

Ngwira, who is a member of the Umodzi Kumawa group, took to social media claiming the two leaders have benefited from selling the party.

Lubinda has installed himself as Tonse Alliance chairman sidelining Danny Pule, who should have taken over the leadership of the political grouping.- ZWD

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH: HH CAN’T FIX TOMORROW WHAT HE FAILED YESTERDAY

Fellow Zambians,

We have taken note of the recent statement from State House claiming that President Hakainde Hichilema is committed to cushioning vulnerable households and small-scale entrepreneurs from the effects of load shedding.

But let us speak the plain truth. For years, our people have suffered endless hours of darkness. Food has gone to waste, small businesses have collapsed, and children have been forced to study by candlelight. Yet today, with elections around the corner, suddenly the President has discovered the suffering of the Zambian people. What hypocrisy!

Zambians are not afterthoughts. We deserve leadership that plans ahead, not leaders who remember our pain only when it suits their political survival. Promising 10 to 15 hours of electricity in selected communities now is nothing but desperate window-dressing. The reality is simple: those who failed to solve the problem yesterday cannot be trusted to solve it tomorrow.

What has happened to the so-called Dubai formula? And if 4 hours of darkness under the previous regime was branded as lack of leadership, then what do we call years of darkness today? It is nothing but cruelty, and a lack of seriousness  thinking we Zambians cannot think beyond our norse.  A serious government would have shown us alternatives, like developing hydro power from Luapula and Northern provinces, instead of depending solely on Kariba Dam. But the most unfortunate part is that Hakainde Hichilema is wasting our resources chasing after the wind on an productive issues.

Enough is enough. 2026 is the year of change. If it means that even a frog can make more sense than a human being who pretends to care, then so be it. The people of Zambia deserve a government that values their welfare every single day, not one that toys with their suffering to harvest votes.

It is too late, President Hichilema. Do not insult Zambians by thinking we are gullible enough to be blinded by smokescreens. We can see through your tricks.

In 2026, we choose dignity. We choose leadership that listens, cares, and delivers  not empty promises at election time. Change is inevitable, and change is coming.

EXPANDED CDF, A GAME CHANGER

30 years after being created, the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) is more popular than ever. With a new evolvement in close to four years, the Fund has sunk its teeth in zambia’s road to economic recovery.

In the period the UPND administration has been in government, under the stewardship of President Hakainde Hichilema, the New Dawn administration has worked overtime to ensure the successful implementation of the expanded CDF.

Established in 1995 after approval by the national assembly as a community initiative tool to help provide and facilitate development in constituencies through community projects, the CDF until 2021 had never crossed the mark of K2bn.

The truth of the matter was that such meagre amounts could not meet the ever growing cost of meeting meaningful community development.

The CDF figures  announced in previous budgets before the 2021 national budget were almost a mere drop in the ocean.

President Hakainde Hichilema, in his first budget as a leader of the nation, increased the CDF from K1.6 million to a whopping K25.7 million annual allocation per Constituency, then to K28.3 million. 36.1 million and now 40 million in the 2026 budget per Constituency.

The CDF has  been partitioned in three components, namely, community projects, youth,  women, and community empowerment and secondary boarding school and skills development burseries.

Already, the components highlight the objectivity of inclusiveness exhibited by the wider scope that the Fund is encompassing. 

The realistic fund allocation to constituencies has evidently opened a number of opportunities for communities to embark on feasible progressive projects that have been identified as being beneficial to a broader section of their communities.

If the current keenness being exhibited by most members of Parliament of embarking on different Constituency projects and meeting the requirements of prudently disbursing the Fund, then sooner than later, Zambia’s expanded CDF will be a successful model for the whole of Africa and the world at large to emulate.

The social cash transfer program, food security pack, and purchase of drugs and medical supplies are just some of the areas that are being driven by the expanded CDF.

Rural primary school classrooms, teachers’ houses, desks , rural clinics, staff houses, local courts,  community boreholes, dip tanks, small dams, and bridges are all being funded under the expanded CDF.

Financial experts are calling it a game changer and have added that the new CDF can be used to mobilise external resources innovatively.

4 years down the line, it is safe to say the CDF has recorded success. It is safe to say the model is working, and the positive indicators are out there and clear for all to see.

In a 2022 report that shows how the CDF can attract external funding for sustainable development in Zambia, Dr. Sylvia Mwamba, a public finance expert from ZIPAR, said, “Since 2022, the expanded CDF has breathed life into Zambia’s inclusive and sustainable growth agenda , re-energising local economies.”

This means the Fund can help unlock development financing from international funders through grants triggered by the country’s demonstration of embarking on an ambitious socio- economic transformation agenda that involves citizen participation. 

At the end of the day, the outcome in terms of fiscal investments should match or, depending on projects embarked on and implemented, exceed the input.

It is worth noting that other African countries are also using CDF model to unlock their countries’ socio-economic and infrastructure development.  This list includes Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Rwanda,  Southern Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, among others.

🇿🇲 EDITOR’S NOTE | Hichilema’s Energy Gamble and the Politics of Anger

President Hakainde Hichilema is scrambling to cushion households and small businesses from the bite of load shedding. His office now says compounds and traders will be prioritised for power supply, with Zesco guaranteeing 10 to 15 hours of electricity in 21 communities and installing backup generators in markets. It is a move meant to show action, but it also signals panic.

The politics of energy is unforgiving. Elections are barely 11 months away, and load shedding has never been this severe in Zambia’s history. While the President is correct to target vulnerable groups like welders, barbers and marketeers, the larger reality is that electricity remains scarce, and talk is outweighing results. People are angry, and anger is not softened by technical explanations.

Hichilema has built a reputation as a reformer, stabilising Zambia’s debt and repairing its credibility abroad. But politics is not only about credibility in Washington or Brussels. In Zambia, the economy is power, fuel and food. Voters judge performance by whether the lights are on, mealie meal is affordable and transport costs are bearable. GDP growth and foreign reserves do not mean much when refrigerators and welding machines stand idle.

The President’s defenders argue that droughts cut hydro generation and that solar and thermal plants are on the way. That is true, but it misses the emotional side of politics. Zambians are not asking for a lecture on rainfall deficits. They want urgency, visible fixes, and fewer press statements. When candles and charcoal are the fallback for millions, the government looks absent.

The optics matter. Installing 23 generators in markets is symbolic but small compared to the scale of the crisis. Announcing power guarantees for selected compounds risks appearing like selective relief while the majority endure blackouts. Such targeted interventions may be smart economics, but they are weak politics.

It is also striking how much the administration underestimates the communication gap. Citizens do not care about long-term power pools or export contracts. They want a President who connects with their frustration. Without that empathy, every explanation sounds like an excuse, even when grounded in fact.

Hichilema is a good President with a clear vision of modernising Zambia, but leadership requires grasping the psychology of hardship. People want to feel that their suffering is acknowledged and their anger understood. Political survival in 2026 will depend less on debt restructuring figures and more on whether homes and businesses have steady power, fuel is affordable, and food prices stop climbing.

We know UPND supporters will bristle at this, but truth is stubborn. If Bally wants to retain State House, he must treat energy not only as a technical constraint but as a political emergency. Zambia’s voters are not policy wonks. They are families who measure governance by light, fuel, and food.

TOO LATE TO ASK FOR SOLUTIONS; YOU SAID ‘BALLY WILL FIX IT ’, NOW FIX IT – Davies Mwila

FORMER PF Secretary General Davies Mwila says the UPND must implement the solutions they promised in opposition, adding that it is too late to ask the people for solutions now.

Mwila was responding to President Hakainde Hichilema’s recent call for citizens to not only identify the nation’s problems but also to devise solutions.

In an interview, Sunday, Mwila argued that since the UPND formed government four years ago, they have never asked anyone for solutions and cannot do so with only eight months remaining before the general elections.

“How do we talk about solutions now, because the UPND has been in government for four years. And they have never asked any person from outside like the opposition and other citizens that they need solutions. After now we are going for elections, that’s when they are looking for solutions, that will not work, because the Zambian people must decide in eight months, they have to make a decision”.

“The people of Zambia will not accept that. Because he should have done that initially when he entered into government. But they thought they were clever [and] they were intelligent. And they told the Zambian people that they would fix the economy, and they used to say bally will fix it, let them fix it. They can’t run to the citizens or Zambian people,” said Mwila.

“You can’t be disappointed. He should have talked about these issues when they entered into government. Because when they entered into government, they knew it all, that’s the attitude. Now that they have failed, they want the people to help them, It’s too late”.

“People have to kick them out, they have failed to meet all the promises they made. Now should they turn to the people after four years? Then they promised that they have solutions, let them implement those solutions so that the living standards of our people can change. That’s my indication, it’s too late, people have to decide the way they decided in Malawi”.

REBUTTAL TO MUNIR ZULU’S MISPLACED PETITION ON ISRAEL-ZAMBIA RELATIONS

By Ephraim Shakafuswa

Munir Zulu’s petition against Zambia’s diplomatic ties with Israel is not only legally frivolous but politically misguided, historically selective, and diplomatically reckless.

First, let’s set the record straight: the rekindling of Zambia–Israel relations did not begin with the New Dawn government. It was under the Patriotic Front administration, starting with President Michael Sata, that Zambia reopened its mission in Israel. President Sata appointed our first Ambassador, Mr. Martin Mwanambale, signaling a deliberate re-engagement with Israel after decades of dormancy.

President Edgar Chagwa Lungu built on this by visiting Israel and signing bilateral agreements that laid the foundation for stronger cooperation. What we are witnessing today — the opening of the Israeli Embassy in Zambia is the fruit of seeds planted years ago. It is disingenuous and misleading to present this as an isolated decision of the current administration.

Second, Munir Zulu’s reliance on Articles 8(d) and 9(1)(c) of the Constitution is a shallow attempt to weaponize constitutional values without context. Human dignity as a value does not translate into an automatic ban on relations with any nation. If this logic were applied consistently, Zambia would have to sever ties with dozens of countries whose histories, governance, or foreign policies have faced international criticism. The role of diplomacy is not moral absolutism, but engagement, creating bridges even where disagreements exist.

Third, the invocation of Dr. Kenneth Kaunda’s 1973 decision to cut ties with Israel is misplaced. Kaunda acted in the geopolitical context of the time — the Cold War, the Non-Aligned Movement, and Africa’s collective stance in solidarity with Palestine. But Zambia has evolved since then. Our foreign policy today must reflect current national interests, not be frozen in the ideological posture of the 1970s. Kaunda himself was pragmatic, he engaged both East and West, always adjusting Zambia’s external relations to serve the moment. To invoke his decision without appreciating its context is to strip it of meaning.

Fourth, Zambia stands to gain from stronger ties with Israel in agriculture, technology, health, and security cooperation. Israel has pioneered water management, irrigation, and innovation systems that can directly benefit Zambia’s food security and economic transformation. Turning away from such opportunities on the basis of ideological grandstanding is to sacrifice Zambia’s practical development needs on the altar of outdated rhetoric.

Finally, this petition is a political stunt dressed up as a constitutional case. It is not about human dignity, nor about Palestine, nor about Zambia’s sovereignty. It is about attention-seeking and undermining Zambia’s strategic diplomacy for narrow political ends. Zambia’s foreign policy must not be hijacked by individuals seeking relevance.

Zambia’s relations with Israel are not unconstitutional, they are strategic, beneficial, and rooted in continuity from the PF era through to the New Dawn government and to our incoming government. Munir Zulu’s petition deserves to be dismissed with the contempt it deserves.

Munir Zulu’s Petition on Israel–Zambia Relations Misses the Bigger Picture

By Tobbius Chilembo Hamunkoyo, LLB

Munir Zulu’s petition before the Constitutional Court to challenge Zambia’s diplomatic ties with Israel is legally weak, historically misleading, and politically opportunistic. Since the matter is before our respected Court, I will not undermine its authority. The Constitutional Court will make the final determination. However, I am compelled to comment on what is already in the public domain so that the Zambian people are not misled.

The truth is that Zambia’s renewed engagement with Israel did not begin under the New Dawn administration. It started under the Patriotic Front. The late President Michael Sata reopened our mission in Israel and appointed Ambassador Martin Mwanabale. The late President Edgar Chagwa Lungu then expanded this relationship by personally visiting Israel and signing agreements that laid the foundation for today’s cooperation.

What we are witnessing now , the opening of Israel’s Embassy in Lusaka  is the fruit of those earlier efforts. To suggest otherwise, as Mr. Zulu does, is to ignore history and mislead the public, and this is very unfortunate for him.

It is worth noting that the very individual now challenging Israel–Zambia relations, former Lumezi MP Munir Zulu, benefited politically from the Patriotic Front era which set this policy in motion. Ironically, while Presidents Sata and Lungu were deepening ties with Israel, Mr. Zulu never raised a constitutional objection. It is only now, when he finds himself out of Parliament and facing his own legal troubles ,  indeed now imprisoned,  that he suddenly presents himself as a defender of constitutional morality. This inconsistency exposes the petition as political theatre rather than principle.

The Constitution itself does not support Zulu’s claim. Articles 8 and 9 highlight values such as human dignity, but they do not prohibit Zambia from engaging with other states. If his interpretation were taken seriously, Zambia would be forced to sever ties with many nations across the globe, including some of our largest trading partners. Such an approach would leave the country isolated and unable to advance its development agenda. Diplomacy, by its very nature should be understood as a tool of dialogue and engagement, not about walling ourselves off from the world.

History also demands context. The late Dr. Kenneth Kaunda’s decision in 1973 to cut ties with Israel was shaped by the Cold War, Africa’s solidarity with Palestine, and the dynamics of the Non-Aligned Movement. Kaunda himself was a pragmatist who shifted foreign policy whenever Zambia’s national interest required it. To hold his 1973 decision as a permanent ban is to misread his legacy and to bind Zambia’s present to outdated geopolitical battles.

It is therefore, an undisputed fact that, Zambia, meanwhile, has much to gain from Israel in areas like agriculture, irrigation, water management, technology, and health. These are not abstract benefits, they directly address Zambia’s pressing challenges of food insecurity, climate change, and the need for innovation. Turning away from such opportunities for the sake of political posturing would harm ordinary Zambians who need practical solutions, not empty rhetoric.

In reality, this petition is not about the Constitution, not about Palestine, and not about Zambia’s sovereignty. It is about a desperate attempt by Munir Zulu to seek political attention while ignoring the bigger picture of Zambia’s development and diplomatic interests. The Constitutional Court will ultimately render its decision, but the people of Zambia should be clear: our relations with Israel are strategic, beneficial, and consistent with a policy direction set by our past leaders. Munir Zulu’s petition deserves to be seen for what it is , a distraction, not a defense of dignity.
