Zambia lawmakers back constitutional amendment before election

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Justin Mulenga, Diamond TV correspondent, about Zambia's Parliament backing proposed constitutional amendments ahead of the country's next general election. The move is being presented as a step toward strengthening governance and modernising the country's founding legal framework, often seen as a sign of a maturing democracy. However, the timing of the amendments has sparked debate about political motives, electoral implications, and their broader impact on democratic practice in the region. Mulenga provides on-the-ground insight into what is driving the changes and why they matter not only for Zambians, but for the future of democracy in Southern Africa. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.
