The Zambian Watchdog is an investigative online media platform that focuses on corruption and other major crimes such as drug trafficking in Zambia. It also contains breaking news on politics and major events in Zambia.
Its official site and multiple linking pages to the posts have been censored inside Zambia by the government, restricting the human right of freedom of speech. Journalists writing for the Zambian Watchdog frequently face state-sponsored persecution.

Challenges and Censorship
The Zambian Watchdog faces significant challenges, including censorship by the government, which restricts the human right of freedom of speech.
Accusations and Rebuttals
Zambia Watchdog, a known propaganda arm of the ruling UPND, has again chosen to abandon journalistic integrity for political mischief.
In recent days, social media pages aligned with the ruling party have peddled a malicious rumour suggesting that lawyer and opposition leader Makebi Zulu is a “wanted person.” Let it be stated clearly and without hesitation: Makebi Zulu has not committed any crime in Zambia or anywhere else for which he is wanted. No police warrant, court summons, or legal action has ever been issued against him.

This smear campaign will not discredit Makebi Zulu; it will magnify him. Every attempt to malign him only introduces him to thousands of Zambians who now see through the propaganda machine of the ruling elite.
Makebi Zulu: A Rising Figure
Makebi Zulu brings a breath of fresh air to Zambian politics. He represents the rebirth of the Patriotic Front, a cleaner, reformed, pro-poor, and people-centred movement that stands for integrity, constitutionalism, and the protection of every citizen’s rights. His loyalty to his principles, humility in service, and calm leadership style have earned him admiration even among his opponents.
Zambia needs leaders who can unite the opposition, restore democracy, and return power to the people. Makebi Zulu is that leader.
