ZAMBIA IS BREATHING BECAUSE OF EMMANUEL MWAMBA
The Candidates’ Editorial
At this particular time when the government of Hakainde Hichilema has weakened key government institutions including all oversight institutions: Auditor General, Financial Intelligence Center et al and criminalized free speech and information sharing, many voices in Zambia have, at best self censored and at worst,have been silenced. People can no longer verbalize their feelings and opinions on how they are governed. Speaking your mind is now criminal in Zambia.
Critical flow of information which helps the public to make decisions, to know about the wrongs and rights of their government, has remained hidden. The most reliable source of this information has been Emmanuel Mwamba. Our media has been censored and reduced into PR organizations of the Government specialized in reporting only what makes those in government happy.
We learn about government tricks and hidden details through the EMV platform. What his attackers have willfully omitted from their soporific attacks against Emmanuel Mwamba, is what role they themselves play in helping Zambians stay aware. What do these elements even stand for?
Whether or not Emmanuel Mwamba is in exile is inconsequential. If he was in Zambia today, perhaps he would have been in Mukobeko Maximum prison. Not because he is a criminal but because the administration is too fearful of his ability to gather, investigate and package critical information on their ills. This is why there is currently an expensive hunt for Emmanuel Mwamba by the administration
Clearly, Zambians still have a breathing space – to be in the know – because of EM. Without him, we’re doomed. This is not to suggest he holds the monopoly of intelligence and wisdom but to stress a point that, no one in Zambia would be left free to undertake the works that Emmanuel Mwamba does.
Is he dividing the opposition? The answer is categorical no. In fact, whenever any faction of the PF or Tonse appears to divert from the rules of engagement, EM has always issued a notice of disapproval. This is in public domain. Here is a man who has hosted almost all opposition candidates, given them an opportunity to market themselves. Where is evidence that he is dividing the opposition?
Why are they attacking him, and attempting to discredit him? They wanted him to publicly endorse them or indirectly do so, by keeping mute when clearly, they are diverting from the fundamental rules of engagement of the PF and Tonse Alliance. Emmanuel Mwamba’s crime has been to stand on the principles and spirit of the PF – regardless that Hakainde has given documents to his sycophant Robert Chabinga.
HANDS OFF EMMANUEL MWAMBA. They will not manage to re-write what we already know, has been written, that Emmanuel Mwamba is undertaking the most thankless yet life threatening tasks in the context of the status of Zambia under Hakainde Hichilema

No matter what colour you paint him, a fugitive has no credibility. ZERO.
Trying to paint a hero out of a shameless coward, is simply delusional.
If he is being persecuted, let him come back to Zambia and win his pending court cases. Zambia has little use for criminals. And career fugitives. Mwamba is totally irrelevant to the developments taking place in Zambia.
The nation is progressing wonderfully under financially and morally disciplined leadership. If you think here in Zambia we are missing thieves and liars, you need a brain transplant.
This article was probably written by him. Follow the author…oh there is non stated. Follow if the said copy right is registered..
I can bet you…Candidate is another smoke and mirror operation by Emmanuel Mwamba trying to bloster whats left of his useless name and lies….what a woose
ABSOLUTELY NONSENSICAL
Ba Munashusa smokes a lot.This boy from Tanzania is now losing it at a rapid pace.Mwamba/Muamba is a lost soul not to be entertained.These are the people who got used free Zambia money for doing nothing.Muamba/Mwamba it will never happen again.These useless write ups will not change who you are,a big liar with a peanut brain
Speaking your mind is not criminal in Zambia but spreading falsehoods and tarnishing innocent people’s reputations is, and rightly so.
Mr. Emmanuel “Goebbels” Mwamba is a specialist character assassin and master at spreading falsehoods.
If he had any shred of integrity in him, he would have stayed put and seen his legal woes to the end. But he took the easy way out, he fled. Yes, he run away like the coward he is. In this respect even Messrs. Munir Zulu, Chitotela, Chilangwa, Kambwili are far more courageous than the keyboard warrior, Mr. Mwamba.
He will eventually fall by the way side and be forgotten like one Mr. Azwell Banda, whom we donot hear of much these days.
