MAKEBI ZULU: THE QUIET STRENGTH IN ZAMBIA’S POLITICAL CONVERSATION

By Brian Matambo – Lusaka, Zambia

Hon. Makebi Zulu, former Eastern Province Minister and Member of Parliament for Malambo Constituency, is steadily emerging as one of the most talked-about figures in Zambia’s evolving political space. His rise has not been through noise or confrontation, but through a steady, disciplined presence that has caught the attention of both his party and the nation.

At 44 years old, Makebi Zulu stands out as part of a younger yet more grounded generation of leaders within the Patriotic Front. He belongs to a cohort that includes Raphael Nakachinda and Greyford Monde, men who are mature in outlook, seasoned in debate, and committed to steering a rebranded PF into relevance. In this group, Makebi Zulu represents a blend of professional rigor and moral steadiness, qualities increasingly seen as essential for Zambia’s future.

The foundation of his reputation lies in law. A trained advocate, Makebi Zulu has for years been at the forefront of constitutional arguments that have shaped national debates. But beyond the courtroom battles, it is his loyalty to the late President Edgar Chagwa Lungu that has stood out. Each time the former head of state and his family faced legal hurdles, Makebi Zulu was there, not for the cameras but for the cause. His consistency in representing Lungu in some of the most high-pressure moments after State House has defined him as a man who does not waver when responsibility is heavy.

Yet there is more to him than legal acumen. Makebi Zulu carries himself with the kind of sobriety that speaks to deeper values. A devout Christian, he places faith at the centre of his life, and those who have worked with him often point to a humility anchored in belief. That quiet spirituality translates into politics not as sermons but as a guiding ethic, an insistence on dignity, fairness, and service.

It is this ethic of service that explains his growing appeal. Whether in Malambo or as Provincial Minister, Makebi Zulu has consistently been described as attentive, approachable, and deliberate. He listens more than he talks, but when he speaks, there is no mistaking his position. In a political culture often defined by aggression, he has cultivated a softer but firmer style, one that unites rather than divides and persuades rather than provokes.

For a party searching for renewal, Makebi Zulu offers more than just youth. He offers credibility, sobriety, and a vision rooted in transformation. His presence signals that the Patriotic Front can reinvent itself not through slogans but through leaders who inspire confidence. And for a nation still seeking leaders who put people first, he represents the possibility of politics anchored in integrity.

Makebi Zulu’s journey is still unfolding, but already he embodies something rare in Zambian politics: a quiet force that does not shout for recognition, yet commands attention. In the years ahead, that quiet strength may well prove to be one of the defining qualities Zambia needs most.

People Mongu are still laughing after drama involving a young lady by the name Mutipani who work as waitress in one of the hotel in the town and a Bo Major Telei, the wealthy farmer who owns more maize and rice than the entire Mongu silos. Apart from land and buildings, it turns out the old man also owns a “third leg” that refuses to retire!

Mutipani, thinking she had landed a jackpot, agreed to keep Bo ndate company, assuming it would be a quick “2-minute noodles” affair. In her mind, the old man would cough, sneeze, collapse in 30 seconds, and then hand her a fat brown envelope. Little did she know the veteran was once a Army officer, still hits the gym three times a week. Forget energy drinks—this man is powered by fried dry groundnuts and sor go.

The “simple deal” quickly turned into a military training session. Bo ndate launched round one, then round two, then round three like he was competing at the Olympics. By round four, Mutipani was already waving a white bedsheet flag, crying for help like someone under attack. Unfortunately, Bo ndate was just warming up. He was shouting “Mission not yet accomplished!” and demanding a fifth round.

It took the intervention of hotel workers, who rushed in after hearing screams louder than a political rally, only to find Mutipani clinging to the bed for dear life while Bo Ndate was still reloading. The staff had to physically pull her out, while the old man, still sweating and smiling, kept begging, “Just one more for the road!”

Mongu streets are now buzzing with laughter, some praising Bo ndate's “youthful engine,” while others warning slay queens: never judge an old man by his grey hair—you might just meet a lion in the skin of a goat.,😳😳.

About the Tonse Alliance.

July 25th, 2025.

Tonse Alliance is the vehicle that was created and left by ECL for the liberation of the people of Zambia in 2026.

Whatever we do individually or collectively therefore; we must preserve Tonse jealously and unite ourselves at all times especially at the helm of the Alliance.

Those of us that had a chance to interact with ECL in person a few months before he died, if there is only one word he kept empathizing on, it was “ Unity “.
He did not want anyone to be left out or left behind. “Mwikatane bonse bane and there is and there will be space and a role to play for everyone “.

For his love and respect therefore, We all must work hard or be it make sacrifices to ensure the Tonse Alliance remains united.

Let’s honour ECL by remaining united as we were towards and now after his demise.

Our individual aspirations should not at any time supersede those of the collective masses under the umbrella grouping. There is no insurmountable differences (if there is any, real or perceived) that cannot be resolved. “United we stand; divided we fall”.

We should all play our singular and collective roles to ensure that we dont let down the majority people of Zambia that have found Hope for their lives and a better Zambia in the ECL pioneered Tonse alliance.
