WE’RE PAN AFRICANISTS NOT BANTUSTANS – M’MEMBE

Limulunga, Saturday (April 6, 2024)

Socialist Party (SP) President Fred M’membe says his party in power will champion Pan Africanism as opposed to Bantustans.

“We are not trying to create Bantustans here in Barotseland, Bantustans in Eastern Province, Bantustans in the Bemba region, no. We are Pan Africanists,” he said.

This came to light when Dr. M’membe paid a courtesy call on Ngambela Mukela Manyando, Prime Minister of Barotseland, at Limulunga Palace, the Headquarters of the Litunga, King of Barotseland.

Dr. M’membe said the SP is simply promoting freedom, with each region being able to function in diversity while managing their own resources.

Meanwhile, Dr. M’membe shares part of the SP vision on the management of resources across the country.

He emphasises unity in diversity.

“When I paid a courtesy call on the Mwata Kazembe, I emphasized that Luapula has abundant natural resources, but people are poor because locals are not able to directly benefit, but under SP they will do so. What if we had banks in particular regions to help chiefs, religious leaders, politicians, and locals to be able to manage their resources by borrowing and lending. That way, we would be able to improve the living standards of the people and culture in diversity of specific regions. The way you manage Choma District is different from the way you can manage Shiwang’andu because there are different terrains and dynamics. The CDF you are going to apply in Shiwangandu with 17 wards is different from Kabwata with modern roads,” he said.

The SP President said Luapula can sustain itself through a bank taking advantage of natural resources such as sugilite, adding that Barotseland will have its own bank to harness development in the region.

  1. I have a feeling that the Ngambela was able to see through Mr. Mmembe’s rantings. In other words, he knew that Mr. Mmembe was being economical with the truth.

  2. A man who is a serial bank robber should not be allowed anywhere near the National Treasury!
    People who borrow under the Corporate veil and choose not to pay back have no iota of integrity in them!
    President Dr HH will have an easy victory in 2026 because ba Mukolwe are too many in the opposition camp to split the votes!
    Try to put a cap on that head ba Mmembe! We understand why you always hide your head in a cap.

    • It will be a Putinised presidential election!! Opponents will be excluded from the ballot! Remember the Kabushi and Kwacha malarkey??

  3. Umutwe kwati ni loof bread. What had made you to do what all the previous Presidents never thought of doing knowing that it would bring decisions in countriy. Yourself don’t even know where you belongs to, because when you go to Chinsali, you’re bemba, when you are in Mongu, you become a tribalist and start dreaming. Iciloto ukuwama kuliba Mmembe.
    I think the nation must be very careful With this confused and desperate man. Ubupuba fulufulu

  4. Mmembe is thief! Born a thief, his DNA is thieving, living as a thief, and will die as a thief! He’s not a person you should ever trust with anything valuable. Borrowing lots of money from everywhere but with an intention never to pay back. That’s the philosophy of this crook!!
