RAPHAEL NAKACHINDA’S BAIL SHOULD BE REVOKED
I am appealing to the government of Zambia to take serious interest in Raphael Nakachinda’s claims that former President Edgar Lungu was poisoned. Given that Nakachinda has been closely associated with the former president, such statements should be treated with the seriousness they deserve.
Nakachinda has gone further to make seditious remarks while in South Africa. President Lungu was visited during his stay there by high-profile leaders, including the current President of South Africa, the former president, and other dignitaries. So, at what point exactly was President Lungu poisoned?
If Nakachinda cannot substantiate these claims, then the courts should consider revoking his pending bail. He was previously arrested, tried, and convicted for seditious behavior and now he is repeating the same conduct. Has he learned any lesson? Is he remorseful? Absolutely not.
President Edgar Lungu is receiving state privileges as a former head of state not as a member of PF, the Tonse Alliance, or UKA. Therefore, individuals like Mr. Nakachinda,Sean Tembo and Mr. Lubinda should act responsibly. Making such inflammatory and unverified statements only serves to incite unrest and undermine national unity.
We had hoped that after losing power, the PF would reflect on its past arrogance and governance failures. But with every passing day, some of its members continue to prove to the nation that they were never suited for National leadership.
Under the PF administration, the kind of drama you’re displaying today would have landed many of you behind bars or worse, cost lives. We witnessed how the PF regime gunned down innocent citizens, including Mapenzi Chibulo, Vespers Shimuzhila, Nsama Nsama, Joseph Kaunda, and many others. When these citizens were killed in cold blood Mr. Given Lubinda was the justice Minister, Mr. Nakachinda was a minister and the duo didn’t do anything to save the victims. Whilst Mr. Nakachinda and Mr. Lubinda were senior government officials, the PF administration managed to hide the killer of Lawrence Banda.
If this were still your time, that Secretariat would have been shut down without hesitation. And yet, today, you have the audacity to treat President Hakainde Hichilema with disrespect, as though he were a fool.
PF, you are the last group that should speak on issues of justice. Your record speaks for itself you committed unspeakable acts in this country. However, this is a time of mourning. If you wish to play politics, at least wait until we have laid President Lungu to rest.Afterwards, we will respond case by case, with facts and evidence.
President Hakainde Hichilema has acted responsibly and respectfully by declaring national mourning for his predecessor. That should be commended.
Let me also remind those who are overly zealous—there will be no room for lawlessness. If anyone intends to cause disorder during the funeral procession, be prepared to watch it from behind bars. Let President Lungu be mourned with the dignity and honor of befitting a former president of the Republic.

Petty politicking
Yes, please do that as he is bent on bringing disunity during this time of national mourning. It’s for his personal selfish gain and greed that he is doing all this
Was the crime comitted in Zambia? Its important that we understand the naunces of the law before we write articles. Yes we all feel agrieved by the wreckless and unfound by Mr. Nakachinda both in the Sun Newspaper and on South African Television.
Some people will only realise the gravity of their actions when they are imprisoned and that is why we even have them. The sad culture in Zambia individuals think that political grants them some kind of immunity. No. We are all equal before the law. But in this case, where was the said crime committed? Jurisdiction…
Chiboloko, is still free, just like most people of his type. Equal before which law? Be serious for once please.
REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.
DO NOT BE FOOLED.
DO NOT BE A FOOL.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
Well said young man. I fail to understand the source of madness in the opposition !
Seems nakachinda has still not learnt that his big mouth can get him into trouble. Let’s wait for the funeral to finish and then we shall see what happens to him.
PF is a group irritants. Every time they regroup,there is thuggery. No maturity at all. Bens Given, Raphael very irritating indeed
