President Hakainde Hichilema’s Failure to Curb Lawlessness: Unprofessionalism Rises Among Military Recruits in Zambia
In what can only be described as an alarming act of lawlessness and unprofessionalism, over 20 military recruits from Mufulira barracks went on a violent rampage, indiscriminately assaulting innocent civilians last night. This shameful act left several people injured, including Kankoyo Member of Parliament, Heartson Mabeta, who suffered a broken hand after being beaten by these recruits. Such lawlessness demands accountability at the highest levels, and it is time to hold President Hakainde Hichilema responsible for the continued decline of discipline within the country’s security forces.
The terrifying scene unfolded after a group of taxi drivers allegedly got into a brawl with two recruits in the Mufulira Central Business District (CBD). The injured recruits, rather than reporting the issue through proper channels, returned to the barracks and rallied their colleagues for retaliation. In a blatant disregard for the rule of law and order, the recruits stormed the town, attacking pedestrians and motorists in their path. The chaos resulted in damaged property, including Mr. Mabeta’s vehicle, and left a trail of fear and destruction in its wake.
This brazen display of violence highlights an underlying issue of unprofessionalism that has taken root within Zambia’s military under President Hichilema’s administration. The fact that recruits, who are supposed to uphold the values of discipline and protect civilians, would resort to such thuggery raises serious concerns about the effectiveness of the leadership at the top. Where is the president’s voice in all this? Where is the commitment to ensuring that the military, an institution that should represent national security and order, maintains its dignity and upholds professionalism?
Unfortunately, this incident is not isolated. Zambia has witnessed a growing trend of indiscipline among its security personnel, signaling a dangerous descent into lawlessness. What is even more disturbing is that these issues seem to stem from a lack of clear direction and leadership at the top.
President Hichilema, despite being in power, has failed to address the recurrent acts of brutality and misconduct by the military. His administration’s silence and lack of decisive action against such transgressions has emboldened these recruits, who now feel they can act with impunity. A strong military is vital for any nation’s defense, but when those responsible for defending the nation begin to terrorize their own people, the president must be held accountable.
Ministry of Information and Media Permanent Secretary Thabo Kawana attempted to downplay the situation, clarifying that the rampaging recruits were not a group of 500 as previously claimed but 22. Regardless of the numbers, the reality remains that the president’s administration has allowed this kind of behavior to proliferate. It is no longer about how many recruits were involved; it is about the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester unchecked.
Mr. Kawana’s statement that residents should avoid provoking recruits is a weak attempt at shifting the blame onto civilians. The real issue is the president’s failure to instill discipline and professionalism in his military forces. Instead of focusing on proper training and emphasizing respect for civilians, President Hichilema’s administration has allowed the military to become a tool of terror in the hands of undisciplined recruits. How can civilians be expected to trust their military when its recruits go on violent rampages without fear of consequence?
The actions of these recruits not only showcase their disregard for professionalism but also reflect poorly on the leadership overseeing them. The army, under the command of President Hichilema, is supposed to serve and protect the citizens of Zambia, not brutalize them. This incident calls for a complete overhaul of military training protocols and a reevaluation of the moral and ethical standards being imparted to the recruits. At the heart of it, this is a failure of leadership and governance.
President Hichilema must take full responsibility for the lawlessness exhibited by these military recruits. The Zambian people deserve a military that exemplifies discipline, professionalism, and respect for human rights. It is high time that President Hichilema takes meaningful action to address this growing crisis before Zambia’s reputation and its citizens’ safety are further compromised. The nation is watching, and it demands accountability.

I’ve made up my mind to expoe this old cargo today, Her full name is Kenza Emeline Jein. She’s a married businesswoman who deals in ladies’ fashion
She’s so un-gråté-ful. I’ve had an affair for about 4 years gone with this w0-man. She claimed her husband wasn’t satisfying her in bed, I was always at her service whenever she needed me. In turn, she rented an apartment for me, opened up a shoe business for me, also gave me pocket allowances per month.
Our relationship had been moving well until she got pregnant with the second child & gave birth to a baby girl about 6 months ago. Afterwards, she automatically changed & suddenly stopped seeing me & picking my calls, even went to the extent of blocking me. I only get to reach her when I use a different line. Immediately she realizes it’s me, she’ll cut the call after telling me she’s no longer interested in the relationship, then block the new line too.
I was shocked by this new development. I’ve lost the girl I loved so much & who loved me so much too, all because of this woman. Now she thinks she can just use & dump me like that after giving her two beautiful kids, like I’m some kind of rag. See, I’m not a kid, Mrs. Jein. If you think you can play me like a child, then you should think twice.
Even my business is going down, my house rent has expired, my landlord isn’t giving me any breathing space. I’ve asked this woman for just 2.5million as compensation so i can move on & fix my l!fe that she destroyed but she has given a deaf ear.
Mrs Jein, I’ve given you 2 beautiful girls & I cannot be here suffering while I’ve been wasting my time & energy servicing & giving an old cargo fresh blood with absolutely nothing of benefit nor gain. You very well know our affair cost me my sweet relationship. All bcoz of you i lost the woman that truly loves me. However, I do not need the kids either; you can keep them. I’m 24yrs old still young with fresh blood; I can always make other babies.
I only insist that you compensate me with 2.5 million for my time & energy wasted on you. If not. You leave me with no choice than get back at you by uploading your n””-ü,”ds on social media & also come for my babies & you’ll lose everything, which I’m very sure you wouldn’t want that. This is a promise Mrs Jein. You can’t use me & dump me like a rag; I’m not a kid madam! I’m giving just a week to see that money in my account so i can fix my life i do not want any trouble”

In 2003, Chief Chuba Okadigbo was allegedly gassed with poisonous tear gas in Kano State, Nigeria
Okadigbo also known as the Oyi of Oyi was Vice presidential aspirant of the All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP) with Mohammad Buhari, as leader of the ticket.
Unlike other Igbo politicians who aligned themselves with their Igbo kinsmen, Okadigbo aligned himself with the North and had more respect for the Northern region and its people.
Okadigbo attended the rally which was held in Kano State Nigeria.
Apart from the Governor of Kano State, no other ANPP Governor was in attendance which was unusual.
Aware of Okadigbo’s respiratory health challenge (asthma), the then federal government under the reign of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo did not want the rally to proceed.
Security personnel mounted the gate to prevent entry, but this did not sit well with the Kano State Governor; Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, so he ordered the youths to bring down the gate allowing opposition figures to enter.
Police in order to instill calmness released tear gas which they allegedly poured on ANPP leaders in the rally.
According to Hajiya Naja’tu Mohammad report to Voice Of America (VOA), Okadigbo’s body was allegedly soaked with the offensive smelling liquid.
He lost control of his breathe after inhaling the substance and the other party men administered first aid on him in a bid to revive him.
He eventually gave up the ghost in his Asokoro home, Abuja a day or two after the tear gas event.
Many still believed that there is more to his dæth.

I slept with my younger sisters husband on their wedding eve and Ever since then I swore that I would take her husband away from her no matter the cost.
The whole thing began when I and Chris (my sisters husband) started chatting on Facebook, by then Chris and my sister haven’t met. I fell deeply for Chris and I always imagined him as the father of my kids, but through our chat Chris never confessed any love to me.
One day while I was bathing I received a text from Chris asking us to meet. I was curious to meet him for the first time in person, but as girls I had to force him to let me tag my sister along . Chris obliged but after so many persistence he gave in .
When I and my sister got to the location of the dinner date, Chris and my sister got along to the extent I began to feel left out throughout the dinner night. When we were done Chris exchanged contacts with my sister.
After that day I and Chris kept chatting but something changed. Chris would some times leave my message read but still won’t reply.
After few weeks of Chris change of behaviour I felt like he was no longer interested in me so I completely blocked him. Two days after I blocked him .
One day while I was laying on the parlour couch pressing my phone, my sister rushed to me screaming.
“He asked me to be his girlfriend, rachel he asked me to be his girlfriend ” she said repeatedly.
“WHO! who asked you to be his girlfriend?” I asked sitting up well.
“Chris, the guy I followed you to a dinner date with few weeks ago” she said rejoicing.
At that point I felt this grudge in my heart for my sister but I decided to let go concluding that Chris was never mine that’s why.
Soon my sister started going on dates and shopping with Chris. It even got to a point that Chris bought her a car to ease her to work.
On one special evening while I was in the parlour with a friend, I noticed my sister walking downstairs and spraying fragrance in the entire house.
I was curious so I asked her the reason she was spraying the house and of course it was because Chris was coming to visit.
After few hours Chris walked in and they hugged and k!ssed right in front of us. My friend was already offended but she waited for them to leave.
“Is that not the guy that you told me you both had a thing before ?”
“Yes he is the one I told you about, but nothing to worry; if it’s meant to be, it will be” I said and scoffed .
“But if you don’t work for it to be how will it be” my friend said to me and walked out.
I was sitting all alone in the parlour when my sister walked in with bright smiles on her face. As soon as she saw me she stretched her hand out and revealed the engagement ring. That was when I know that I had to take back what rightfully belongs to me by all means.
