Demand justice for Mutotwe Kafwaya and accountability from the Zambian government
The Issue
On the 14th of August 2026, a tragic and unjust event took place in our beloved country, Zambia. Our former cabinet minister and former member of Parliament, the Honourable Mutotwe Kafwaya, was brutally shot and killed. This heinous act occurred inside the house of opposition leader Mr. Brian Mundubile, allegedly executed by the special forces, commonly known as "commandos". For five days, the government remained silent, trying to conceal this grave injustice. It was only after this period of silence that the state police spokesperson finally admitted to the incident, falsely accusing Mr. Kafwaya of plotting to overthrow the government of Hakainde Hichilema. Yet, they produced no credible evidence to support these claims.
This baseless accusation and the attempt to cover up his death have sent shockwaves through our nation, shaking the very foundation of our democracy and civil liberties. Honourable Kafwaya was more than just a political figure; he was a dedicated public servant who worked tirelessly for the people of Zambia. His untimely death leaves not only his family but also a whole nation in mourning, asking for answers and demanding justice.
We must come together to urge an independent investigation into this matter. The Zambian government has a responsibility to its citizens to uphold justice and transparency. We cannot allow fear and intimidation to suppress the truth and propagate a narrative of distrust. It is crucial for our democracy and the rights of every Zambian citizen that those responsible for this act are held accountable.
Furthermore, we call upon international human rights organizations to take a stand and support our cause. We need solidarity from the international community to ensure that such acts do not become the norm and that our leaders are reminded of their duty to serve, not to oppress.
This is a pivotal moment for Zambia; it's a moment where we can come together to protect our rights and ensure that our voices are heard. Honourable Mutotwe Kafwaya's legacy must live on as a symbol of courage and dedication, not one of violence and political suppression. Let's honor his memory by demanding truth and accountability.
Sign this petition to demand justice for Mutotwe Kafwaya, call for an independent investigation, and remind the Zambian government that the power stems from the people. Together, we can make a change and ensure a better future for Zambia.
