People now know UPND, it will be difficult for them to campaign – Fr Mwewa

By Chinoyi Chipulu

President of the National Diocesan Priests in Zambia, Father Augustine Mwewa, has called for suspension of Chief Government Spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa for threatening to deal with Auxiliary Catholic Bishop Msipu Phiri of Chipata Diocese.



And Fr Mwewa said it will be more difficult for the UPND to campaign because people have tried them, and they know who they are.



In his recent Homily, Bishop Msipu of Chipata Diocese challenged the UPND government to tell Zambians what it had achieved in the last four years, among other issues



In response, Mweetwa said UPND would isolate Bishop Msipu from the Catholic Church and deal with him as an individual for criticising the UPND administration over its failure to deliver on its promises because they knew that the Bishop’s views were personal and did not represent the Catholic Church.



But speaking on Radio Icengelo yesterday, Fr. Mwewa of Holy Family Parish in Lulamba, Chingola, said Mweetwa was being disrespectful to the Church. He said a Bishop could not be separated from

  1. Here is a useless tribalist Bemba Catholic priest called Fr Mwewa! All he thinks of is UPND losing the next election. That will never happen.
    Why are we getting all these insults with a lot of noise from the same clique of Bemba and Ngoni Catholic priests? It’s because they can’t believe a Tonga is the president of Zambia and they can’t take it.
    Everyday, its the same big mouthed Bemba priests like this arsewhore Fr Mwewa insulting as if other priests don’t have mouths. He’s not even ashamed of himself. Macende!

    • You are the one that is a useless tribalist that only knows how to insult and busy supporting nonsense just because it is coming from your tribesmen. You think you can silence hungry citizens by calling them tribalists when they gave your small god a chance to govern, and he failed miserably?

      Stop this lunacy you good for nothing small boy.

      Have you even seen what Captain Ibrahim Traore is doing for his country? Call your uncle and tell him to learn from the Captain. Stop your nonsense at once. You people are only good at insults and lies, nothing else.

      Reject tribalism, corruption and oppression.

      God bless Captain Ibrahim Traore.

      Vote wisely in 2026.

  2. THAT BISHOP MUST BE ACQUAINTED WITH THE DECENTRALIZATION SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE. GOVERNMENT PROVIDES RESOURSES TO THE PEOPLE AT CONSTITUENCY LEVEL AND THE PEOPLE DECIDE TO USE THOSE RESOURCES BE IT CDF FUNDS ON PROJECTS THAT IMPACT ON THEIR LIVELIHOOD. ASKING GOVERNMENT WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS IS HAVING NO GREY MATTER IN THE HEAD. IF HE STAYS IN A COMMUNITY CALLED LUMEZI HE SHOULD BE ASKING HIS INDEPENDENT MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT WHAT PROJECTS WERE COMPLETED IN THE LAST 4 YEARS. INSTEAD HE WASTES HIS BAD BREATH BEING THAT IRRELEVANT.

  3. Priest hold it has gone to the Dog people I miss old Catholic priest.can it be fine to see priests from one Area are the only complaining???? PF criminals did a lot of wrong things but these vampires did nothing.

  4. This is a well calculated strategem by the few Catholic Priests to campaign for the oppsition PF. So, Government and Hon. Mweetwa should know this and live up to the challenge.

    • Do not encourage a calf to fight a lion. It never ends well. Just take the advice the Catholic Church is giving you, and do your jobs quietly. Then everyone will be happy.

      Vote wisely in 2026.

      • 3 priests do not make the Catholic church. There are hundreds of Catholic priests in the country so just 3 of them who have personal issues with government does not represent the whole church. By the way, a priest does not carry the voters cards for their flock but voters make up their own minds so don’t be deceived by these priests with personal issues. And for your information, I have 5 family members who are still supporters of UPND so don’t be deceived that the comments of these priests determine the voters’ decisions on whom they will vote for in next year’s elections.

        • You just have 17 months to reduce class sizes from 100 to 30,to improve the economy,end load shedding,abolish corruption in the institutions e.g.in school enrollment,the police , create jobs (civil service deployments is not job creation it’s routine establishment mantainence like servicing a car) etc.
          Insults will not get you anywhere baa sa!!!

  5. They will come out as Bishops,Priest and Opposition leader fighting those who are working to turn around the economy of this country. Fellow country men do not underestimate these people. They are very evil and selfish, tribalists who believes in their own grouping. They have been benefitting from the previous government. The fact that they cant receive now they come out singing that this government is not working. Watch them carefully. They still on one topic involving Mweetwa, for 2 weeks making noise because they have their own agenda.It will never work

  6. The Catholic Church comprises numerous priests, each possessing their unique ideologies, beliefs, and political affiliations. It is inappropriate to assume that the views of one or a few priests represent the entire Church’s stance. For instance, some priests in Zambia may still harbor resentment over the loss of their favoured political party, the PF, and have historically expressed disapproval of the UPND during its time in opposition. The public needs to recognize that there is no conflict with the Church itself, and individual priests should refrain from using their positions to voice personal opinions under the guise of promoting social justice.

    Moreover, it is equally misguided to claim that the UPND government or party will struggle to campaign effectively in the upcoming 2026 general elections. The Church is a unified entity that has followers who encompass a wide range of political beliefs. Priests should focus their efforts on addressing issues of immorality and sin, while emphasizing the message of salvation.

  7. Katolika here they go again.
    Why not cage one if did you caged the Kitwe clergy naba Katolika nabo if they become polically silly cage them.

    Are they the only voters?

  8. Wrong notion all together.Thats why you make some noise thinking all is well to your side.You call us praise singers we shall also give you a nice name that suites your behaviour.” The Chimeras” meaning fantasy.A Greek word describing fake hopes. So you are the Chimeras.
