The Delilah Deception: How UPND Betrayed the Trust of the Zambian People
In the Bible, Delilah gained Samson’s trust, only to betray him by revealing the secret of his strength to his enemies. Her beauty, charm, and sweet words masked her true intentions.
Similarly, the UPND came to power cloaked in promises of hope, unity, economic revival, and good governance. They captured the hearts of Zambians young and old, employed and unemployed with pledges that seemed genuine and sincere.
But what followed was betrayal, jobs for the Youth? Still just empty promises four years in office, yet unemployment remains high.
The Cost of Living? Skyrocketing. Mealie meal, fuel, and electricity prices continue to rise.
Loadshedding? Persistent and crippling our homes and businesses remain in darkness.
Respect for the Constitution? We now hear whispers of constitutional amendments, not to strengthen democracy, but to entrench political power.
Freedom of Expression? Shrinking fast. Journalists, activists, and even ordinary citizens face harassment simply for speaking the truth.
The UPND, like Delilah, slowly shaved off the strength of the people’s trust while they rested in hope. Today, Zambians like Samson have awakened, betrayed and weakened by the very people they empowered.
History warns us of women like Delilah, Jezebel, and Athaliah figures who rose through charm and ended in destruction. UPND’s sweet talk has turned into bitter reality.
Their promises were not tools of transformation, but weapons of control. They gained power through deception not to serve the people, but to rule over them.
It is time for the people of Zambia to break free from the Delilahs of our time. We deserve leadership grounded in truth, transparency, and loyalty to the people not betrayal masked as progress.
Let this be the wake-up call, never again shall Zambia be misled by charm without character or promises without delivery.
Today, Zambians are insulted simply for asking basic questions like when the price of mealie meal will be reduced to K50, or when fuel will be K12 and when will load shedding is going to end? as UPND had promised.

Awee mukwayi! Uwushitasha mwana wandoshi. There’s nothing like UPND betraying Zambians, only crooks are the ones who like twisting the truth and this will in whatsoever propaganda way not disturb the hard working UPND and it’s Alliance Partners under the able leadership of His Excillency President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA delivering to the Zambian people.

So finshi mulelanda ifyabufi ba bwanaaaaa!. You are the one deceiving people
Yaba.
You must have something in common with Hakainde to be defending his incompetence and gross failures. Is he your relative? Please explain to us what you have in common.
Vote for change in 2026.
Incompentence of who? The man has outlined what has been done. How is that incompentent? Incompentent in the dictionary means failing to do. Explain to us where he has failed to do? Indigo Mwamba, sometimes learn to keep quiet when you dont have a point. It just shows defciencies in you.
Who is this chap?
To a certain extent the author is correct. Upnd came with a lot of promises majority of them yet to be fulfilled if at all they will be.
It is very important to be factual in our discourse. An example here in this particular conversation is the way Mankambiz has stated his facts which back his support for HH and UPND. You would also do well to draw up a checklist of the many promises UPND made, tick the fulfilled ones and cross out the unfulfilled ones. Then we can agree with your sentiments. We needs facts here, not just mere allegations.
EXACTLY, WILL ALWAYS DEFEND THE GREAT AND COMPTENCE LEADERSHIP OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ZAMBIA. PRESIDENT HAKAINDE HICHILEMA. BALLY
Indeed! Better to have something in common with Visionary and wise mind and competent leadership that has a clear focus. bwanaaaa IndigoTyrol than the PIEFU 2015 – to August 2021 viosneless leadership without direction but full of violence followers with no respect of their fellow human beings and even the rule of law. Burning the legal currency without fear beating innocent people and killings, and threatening to burn civil servants in their offices.
Gassers and corrupt to the cole is your role model
And my role model is BALLY the hard working leader of our time epela.

Under upnd government I have seen raining development in all part of the country without any segregation the way it was under PF criminals

In contrast we have heard very little is remorse from PF; apart from we shall do better. Better at what is the question? Being critical is one thing but tell us what you will do better at?
You can hardly organise yourselves but want to suggest you can organise a nation. How? In all the three years you have been in the opposition you have been critical of UPND tell us how you will do better? What you will do better? When you will do better; as you cant even hold a convention. To elect office bearers, instead you appoint. Where the democracy in that?
