Zambia’s media freedom advocates say the country’s democratic progress will be tested by how freely journalists can report during the campaign period. While media rights groups acknowledge improvements since President Hakainde Hichilema took office in 2021, they say structural, legal and economic pressures continue to threaten independent journalism ahead of what is expected to be a highly contested vote. Concerns over fair political coverage in Zambia Opposition parties and media freedom groups say unequal access to public media remains one of the biggest concerns ahead of the election. “It has always been like that to a certain extent; it is even worse now,” opposition National Democratic Party leader Saboi Imboela told DW, arguing state-owned media gives more coverage to the ruling party, while opposition voices largely rely on private outlets. Media analysts warn unequal visibility during elections can undermine public trust and democratic participation. Zambia’s media ‘more open, but still fragile’ The Media Institute...

  THE Directorate on Corruption and Economic Offences (DCEO) has every reason to celebrate its recent courtroom successes.  Four victories at the Court of Appeal in quick succession are no small feat. The reinstatement of former Trade Minister Temeki Tšolo’s Frazer Solar corruption case, the return of Lefu Manyokole’s M39 million fraud trial to the High Court, the dismissal of Tsotang Ernest Likotsi’s appeal against the DCEO, and the forfeiture victory in the Denimagic matter collectively represent important legal milestones for the anti-corruption body.  For an institution that has spent years battling accusations of incompetence, inconsistency, and sensationalism, these judgments provide welcome relief. They demonstrate that, at least in these matters, the DCEO’s legal arguments were strong enough to persuade the country’s apex court. That deserves acknowledgement.  But celebration alone will not restore public confidence. Despite these victories, the DCEO continues to struggle under the weight of its own credibility crisis. Winning appeals is one thing. Convincing Basotho that the institution...
