In the wake of former President Edgar Chagwa Lungu’s passing, the nation found itself in a solemn period of mourning. Emotions ran deep, and citizens sought unity in remembering a leader who had left an undeniable imprint on Zambia’s political landscape.
However, even amid grief, misinformation lurked in the shadows, threatening to distort the truth and manipulate public sentiment.
Among the voices attempting to stir confusion were Patriotic Front (PF) figures Nakachinda, Given Lubinda, and Prof. Nkandu Luo etc. Their claims painted a picture of deliberate obstruction, alleging that the Zambian government had refused to release passports for Dalisto Lungu and Senior Lawyer Counsel Chiyeso Lungu, effectively barring them from attending their late father’s funeral service in South Africa.
The narrative was carefully woven, designed to provoke outrage and deepen divisions.
Yet, in times of uncertainty, truth has its guardians. One of them is Senior Counsel Isaac Simbeye. Known for his unwavering professionalism and astute legal analysis, Simbeye stepped forward, not as a partisan voice, but as an advocate for facts.
With precision, he dismantled the allegations, exposing them for what they were: baseless propaganda aimed at discrediting the government.
His response was not one of reactionary hostility but of composed clarity.
Through meticulous reasoning, Simbeye refuted the claims, ensuring that Zambians understood the reality of the situation.
His professionalism set him apart from the political theatrics that sought to sway public perception through misinformation. Instead of engaging in speculative debates, he has provided well-founded analysis, allowing truth to rise above manufactured deception.
For concerned citizens, his intervention is timely. At a moment when emotions threatened to cloud judgment, his integrity served as an anchor.
In the face of relentless attempts to manipulate the narrative, Simbeye reminded Zambia that facts remain stronger than falsehoods.
As the nation continues to reflect on Edgar Chagwa Lungu’s legacy, it must also recognize the importance of voices like Senior Counsel Isaac Simbeye.
His commitment to professionalism in the midst of political distortion is a testament to the power of truth and integrity.
