FRED M'MEMBE TO ESCORT ARCHBISHOP ALICK BANDA TO DEC

His Grace Archbishop Alick Banda will not walk alone to the Drug Enforcement Commission on Monday. We will accompany our Shepherd to Hakainde Hichilema's Calvary and help him carry his cross. He will carry Hichilema's cross alone.

If every time Hichilema was summoned to appear before law enforcement agencies, he was accompanied by huge numbers of UPND cadres, why shouldn't His Grace be accompanied by his flock? 

It is said that what's good for the goose is good for the gander. This means that rules, treatment, or benefits should apply equally to everyone, regardless of gender or individual differences, and is often used to call out hypocrisy or double standards, suggesting fairness should be universal. The phrase comes from an older version, "what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander," highlighting that if a certain treatment (like being served the same sauce) is acceptable for one, it must be for the other (male/female). 

Haven't these people heard of "do unto others as you would have them do unto you "? The core "do unto others" verse, also known as the Golden Rule, is found in Matthew 7:12: "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets". A similar teaching is in Luke 6:31: "Do to others as you would have them do to you". Both emphasize treating people with the same kindness and respect you desire for yourself, forming the basis of ethical conduct in Christianity. 

Matthew 7:12 : "In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets".

Luke 6:31: "Do to others as you would have them do to you". 

This principle encourages empathy, kindness, and reciprocity, guiding believers to act in ways that benefit others as they would wish to be treated.

It is an insult for Drug Enforcement Commission Director General Nason Banda to refer to  the Archbishop's flock as "cadres." When did the faithful become cadres? 

We therefore make a clarion call to all Catholics and Zambians of goodwill, to turn out in huge numbers and accompany the Archbishop to the Drug Enforcement Commission. Come in your various Catholic lay groups  uniforms. 

Come rain, come sunshine we will be there!

EFF STAGES A PROTEST AT FRA HQ

Image
  The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has strongly condemned the lies and deception being peddled by the Hakainde Hichilema administration regarding the seven-month delayed payment of farmers who sold their maize to the Food Reserve Agency (FRA). EFF Leader Kasonde Mwenda says contrary to government claims, thousands of farmers across Zambia remain unpaid.  "Our party has verified this situation on the ground: farmers are sleeping outside banks, queuing in the rain, begging for their own money — money the government owes them" Mwenda lamented  He says instead of taking responsibility, the UPND government has chosen to lie to the nation. He said on Monday, January 12, the EFF staged a peaceful demonstration at the FRA Headquarters in Lusaka after confirming that FRA officials are misleading the public while farmers continue to suffer in every province of the country. He said what makes this scandal even more disturbing is that the government has already sold the maize coll...
