UPND AND ELECTORAL FRAUD
The UPND has not been genuinely winning by-elections in Muchinga, Northern, Luapula and Copperbelt provinces. It’s been nothing but shameless fraud.
But we are told in Proverbs 20:17 that
“Food gained by fraud tastes sweet, but one ends up with a mouth full of gravel.” This verse sounds a warning against fraudulent dealings. Like many frauds, there is a temporary pleasure involved (Proverbs 9:17).
But the consequences of that fraud will come, eventually. Those results can be intensely bitter. Most people have, at some point, discovered something hard in a soft bite of food while chewing. The experience can be surprising and painful.
Some have even broken a tooth biting down on a hard object. One can only imagine what it would be like to start chewing a sweet, soft piece of bread, only to have it suddenly turn into rocks. Yet this is what fraud does: promising pleasure (Genesis 3:4–5) but leading to suffering.
A related English proverb is the phrase “crime doesn’t pay.”
Obviously, people commit many frauds because it’s a way of getting benefits. The point of the English expression, as well as Solomon’s proverb, is that the eventual consequences greatly outweigh the short-term benefits.
The Holy Scripture records a drastic example of this, when Achan looked on what God had said was off-limits. Rather than following the command to destroy everything in Jericho, he took “a beautiful cloak from Shinar, and 200 shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing 50 shekels” (Joshua 7:21). After gaining what seemed so attractive, Achan hid the loot in his tent.
However, his sin cost him his life. According to Johsua 7:22–25, messengers from Joshua ran to Achan’s tent, retrieved the stolen items, and laid them down before the Lord. Then Joshua and the people of Israel took Achan, the illicit goods, and Achan’s sons and daughters—all accomplices in the fraud —to the Valley of Achor, where they put Achan and his family to death by stoning.
So let Mr Hakainde Hichilema and the UPND continue to deceive themselves. They shall soon meet their Waterloo. Their activities have a predictable ending.
Severe defeat or failure awaits them in 2026!
Fred M’membe
President of the Socialist Party
Ba M’membe, if you keep talking about puppets and imperialists and how the UPND government has failed, severe defeat or failure awaits you and your SP in 2026.
Tell us how you will resolve the challenges we are facing. That is what will get you votes.
Ba M’membe ukusabaila kwachilamo mwe, what is there in Muchinga, Northern and Luapula provinces that UPND has not been winning genuinely? Are you not just ashamed that your tribalism and propaganda are failing? It was PF which never won genuinely in those Provinces, for example Chitulika Village became a Constituency during elections and resorted back to a village immediately after announcing the results. In Lundazi, fake results were announced and you were quiet, is that what you call genuine winning? It’s like every day that passes, you are making yourself more irrelevant. The Word of God is used to preach love among the brethren, unfortunately, for you, it’s a good tool for preaching hatred in a Christian nation like Zambia.
“we are told in Proverbs 20:17 that

Yebo Kinga Mmembe do some introspection. Stop suggesting that you are “Holier than thou art”…. are your hands clean? All the means you have used to dig up dirt on people was it clean with the intent of serving the Zambian people? The Socialism your propergate is it about serving Zambians or serving you and the leaders in the Socialist Party?
Yebo Mmembe where in the World has socialism served anyone but the leaders and ruling class.
A few months ago you made a trip. Who did you go to see? Have you told us and what for the People or the same Party that you say you represent did that visit serve?
Stop thinking that you are a selfrightous chap. You are a selfserving individuals who is the epitome of the book “Animal Farm” you are what George Orwell wrote about. Stop deflecting. Start by do what those you started the Post did. Empower those that you worked with at the Post (in your personal capacity). Those that died educate their children. Making noise here when people have ill feeling towards you because of the manner you dealt with them or their families will not inspire us. There is NO legacy about you. You never built anything…and that gravel you speak of is the Post or Mast that amounts to nothing. Before you speak of others…INTROSPECT…so some introspect about yourself…the Parable of spect in ones eye.
