By Sishuwa Sishuwa It all started in early October last year when rumours swelled that former president Edgar Lungu, who, having initially retired from politics in August 2021, was planning a political comeback, seeking to capitalise on the growing public discontent against his successor Hakainde Hichilema.

On 21 November 2024, a self-styled “concerned citizen” accused me of hate speech after I criticised, in a local private newspaper, President Hakainde Hichilema’s continued abuse of state institutions to fix his critics and political opponents.

I was alerted to the online availability of the report of the Judicial Complaints Commission (JCC) that recommended the recent firing of three judges of Zambia’s constitutional court. I have also read online the complaint from Moses Kalonde that paved the way for the JCC to recommend the suspension and eventual removal of the three judges. I am grateful to whoever uploaded these documents online. Their decision is an act of courage, one that I presume they made in public interest.

By Sishuwa SishuwaThe fall from grace of any country does not happen abruptly or even in a big way at once. It happens slowly, and often in ways that seem small,random, or unconnected.

When Zambia experienced democratic backsliding between 2011 and 2021, the deliberate use of legal mechanisms to weaken opposition parties played a central role. Lawfare has been a constant theme of Zambian politics in the era of multiparty democracy. This use of the law by the executive to achieve partisan goals has historically been aided by structural conditions such as a poorly institutionalised party system and recurrent disregard for the Constitution and other laws by state actors.

By Sishuwa SishuwaOn 3 October 2024, three judges of Zambia’s Constitutional Court dismissed former president Edgar Lungu’s application for them to recuse themselves from hearing and determining his eligibility case. In this interview with Diamond TV Zambia, I explain why the decision by justices Margaret Munalula, Maria Kawimbe, and Arnold Shilimi was sound: the application was based on a weak and speculative argument with insufficient evidence. The threshold for recusal is high.
