Hon. Brenda Tambatamba Urges UPND to Stay United



Lusaka. Zambia24 - (29-04-2025) - During her visit to Kalumbila, Hon. Brenda Tambatamba always  known for her grace and wisdom had some straight talk for party members: "We worked too hard to get it here to start fighting each other now."

The Minister reminded everyone how difficult it was to form government after years in opposition. "It's painful to see us attacking our own leaders when we should be explaining all the good work our government is doing in every ward across Zambia," she said, shaking her head.

With the warmth of a big sister but the firmness of a leader, Tambatamba addressed the early 2026 campaign talk: "Why are we rushing? The President and our team have delivered projects in every single ward in just three years. Shouldn't we focus on supporting them first?"



Her message cut through the political noise: "We're all UPND soldiers. When we fight each other, we're only helping those who want to see us fail. Let's remember what brought us here , unity and hard work."

The crowd nodded in agreement as she finished: "Our time will come when it's right. For now, let's do what we do best  ,work together for Zambia.!
