MUNDUBILE’S DESPERATION
IS SCARING
THE MUNDUBILE FACTION CROSSES THE LINE WITH TASILA APPOINTMENT – BEFORE BEING REJECTED
By Dr José
What I have seen today in politics, awe sure. It is a new low. We are used to undignified politics in this country, but today awe awe bane. We seem to be inventing new lows. What unfolded in the Brian Mundubile breakaway Tonse Alliance camp today belongs, quite frankly, in the gutter.
The decision to appoint Honourable Tasila Lungu as National Youth Chairperson while she remains in mourning was not just careless. It was culturally offensive and morally bankrupt. In any society that still remembers itself, mourning is not a technical inconvenience to be worked around. It is a sacred pause. A time when ambition is supposed to lower its voice and human decency is meant to lead.
That pause has already been violated enough.
Tasila Lungu remains in mourning in a climate poisoned by President Hakainde Hichilema’s insatiable desire to win arguments that do not concern him. Instead of allowing the late Edgar Chagwa Lungu to be laid to rest with dignity, the nation has been dragged into an ugly spectacle where a sitting President sues a former First Family in a Pretoria court, demanding control over the funeral of a predecessor the country knows he hated and disrespected. This is not leadership. It is ego in judicial robes.
Against this painful and unresolved backdrop, the Mundubile faction thought it appropriate to drag Tasila Lungu into factional politics.
What makes this even more disgraceful is the selective amnesia at play. This is Tasila, the daughter of the very man Brian Mundubile, through the Munyaule Zambia page and its ecosystem, helped vilify. The record is public. The hostility is documented. The contempt is known. To then attempt to extract political legitimacy from the Lungu name by appointing his daughter is not strategy. It is opportunism of the lowest order.
It is politics without shame, without memory, and without restraint.
And yet, in the middle of this moral clutter, something quietly instructive happened.
Tasila Lungu declined the appointment.
Her letter, dated 7 February 2026, was calm, measured, and devastating in its dignity. No theatrics. No public quarrel. Just a clear refusal grounded in timing, propriety, and self-respect. In a few short lines, she restored boundaries that seasoned politicians had chosen to ignore.
Where others saw a surname to exploit, she saw a season to honour. Where others chased relevance, she chose restraint. In doing so, she reminded the nation that leadership is not always about accepting titles. Sometimes leadership is knowing when to say no.
Hopefully, this puts the matter to rest.
But more importantly, it should stand as a warning. There are lines in politics that must not be crossed. Culture is one. Mourning is another. And the dead, especially those who once bore the weight of the Republic, are not props for factional games.
Some pauses are sacred. And sometimes, a refusal speaks louder than any appointment ever could.
Most unnecessary item
Zumani Zimba is something else. Everything he touches collapses. He is like the KKIA Gold which turned into Zinc..Charcoal actually.
Brian Mundubile has turned into Charcoal. He is going nowhere. His unhinged Ambition is getting frightening each passing day.
That ECL movement only exists only in Zumani Zimba ‘s head. Zumani Zimba, Apostle Dr Proffessor Dan Pule and Brian Mundubile expelled the PF from the Patriotic Front. Today they want to go to Hon Tasila Lungu to give her a position in an unregistered Organisation.
Hon Tasila Lungu is not naive. She knows the legitimate leaders of the Patriotic Front..and that is Hon Given Lubinda and Team.
She knows who were there to protect her Seat in Chawama. Brian Mundubile was nowhere to be seen.
Today after seeing that the PF structures haven’t followed him to Zumani Zimba and Dan Pule, they want to get legitimacy by appointing Hon Tasila Lungu. Ba Mundubile, mwasebana!
Why are you dragging HH into your PF Filth? You are also lacking decency. You are no different from the people you are condemning.
Stop using “mourning” as an argument.
Where was this author when the Lubinda faction offered Tasila a position on the Centra Committee? Tasila presented her acceptance letter just last week, so then Tasila was NOT mourning?
If you want to criticize, then criticize both sides.
BTW: How come Tasila is active on social media, if at all she is mourning, she is busy responding to appointments, but you are busy crying on her behalf, ati she is mourning
But other media are saying she accepted so what is what here.
When Lubinda led faction appointed her a Central Committee Member, she accepted. I am sure she has refused the other appointment in to avoid double tobela. She doesn’t want to play political harlotry, she is satisfied where she is.
Envision elderly individuals contending for the attention of a young blind woman who is entirely unaware of governance. Their interest is solely due to her possession of a bag filled with stolen money, as they seek to exploit her father’s name! What a disgrace for Zambia. Tasila lacks any knowledge; she is incapable of managing even a modest Rwandan shop or overseeing a small business. Her position in government was solely attributed to her father, yet foolish individuals fail to recognize this fact. What a shame.
And Mundubile assented to this? And he wants to be president? Will this same Tasila girl respect him even if he were to go to plot 1?
He has lost my respect now. He has no balls at all.
One can see the empty heads wanting g to be Presidents. No morals, no before thought, no memory chip…no wonder they are scrambling for ECL position before he is buried. No wonder Malukula left SASASA to aspire for the position of the dead man he was in charge of. They are just useless.
Kudos to Tasila Lungu for rightfully putting Mundubile whether he belongs..the trash bin.
