ALLOW KAMBWILI TO ACCESS URGENT MEDICAL TREATMENT, PF URGES GOVT

 ALLOW KAMBWILI TO ACCESS URGENT MEDICAL TREATMENT, PF URGES GOVT


The Patriotic Front (PF) has raised alarm over the health condition of Hon. Chishimba Kambwili, who was transported last night from Milima Correctional Facility in Kasama to Lusaka under unclear circumstances.


PF had hoped the former Cabinet Minister and Member of the Central Committee was being evacuated for specialised medical care at either Maina Soko Military Hospital or University Teaching Hospital (UTH) due to his serious illness.


But to the shock of his family and supporters, it was revealed that Kambwili had instead been brought to the Lusaka Magistrates' Court to face charges of unlawful assembly, stemming from a gathering held at his residence where youths protested the high cost of living.


Hon. Kambwili is currently serving a five-month jail sentence after losing an appeal on a 2021 conviction for allegedly expressing tribal hatred during a radio broadcast. His conviction was upheld by the Kasama High Court on July 14, 2025, and he began serving his sentence immediately thereafter.


🚨 According to fresh reports, despite his worsening health condition, Hon. Kambwili was returned to correctional custody without receiving the urgent medical attention he needs.

🔊 PF is now appealing to the government, specifically:


Minister of Home Affairs and Internal Security, Hon. Jack Mwiimbu, and


Zambia Correctional Service Commissioner General, Mr. Frederick S.S. Chilukutu



…to urgently intervene and allow Hon. Kambwili access to proper medical care.


> 🗣️ “This is a matter of life and death. The government must act humanely,” said Amb. Emmanuel Mwamba, PF Chairperson for Information and Media.




🛑 Health should never be politicized. Every inmate has a right to medical treatment.

 🇿🇲 PF CELEBRATION CUT SHORT AS SOUTH AFRICA REJECTS BURIAL OF EDGAR LUNGU ON ITS SOIL Lusaka, Zambia – June 21, 2025 What was seen by some members of the Patriotic Front (PF) as a political victory has been abruptly disrupted after the South African government officially rejected the proposed burial of late former President Edgar Chagwa Lungu in Johannesburg. The decision follows government-to-government consultations between Zambia and South Africa, during which Pretoria reportedly advised against hosting the burial of a foreign head of state within its borders, citing diplomatic protocol and national policy. The unexpected reversal has sparked mixed reactions across Zambia and beyond, with some PF members and supporters visibly disappointed after prematurely celebrating what they saw as a symbolic snub to the current UPND-led administration. FAMILY’S PLANS THROWN INTO CONFUSION The Lungu family, which earlier announced that burial arrangements would proceed in South Africa, is...

 BREAKING!! SOUTH AFRICA SAYS IT WILL HAND OVER LUNGU’S REMAINS TO ZAMBIA IF FORMALLY REQUESTED In a major development, the Government of South Africa has indicated that it is obligated under international law to surrender the remains of Zambia’s former Commander-in-Chief, President Edgar Chagwa Lungu, to the Zambian Government—if a formal request is made.
