Africa-Press – Zambia. Critics say the spotlight around Emmanuel Mwamba is fading fast — and this time, the silence is coming from his own camp. Once a rallying voice for segments of the Patriotic Front, he now faces a shrinking audience that, detractors argue, no longer buys into his warnings or predictions.
They point to the passage of Bill 7 as a turning point: the law stands, the feared collapse never came, and the apocalyptic forecasts that once energized his followers now ring hollow to many who once tuned in faithfully.
Internal fractures have only deepened the isolation. Figures aligned with Brian Mundubile are said to view him with open suspicion, accusing him of factional bias and of stoking rivalry rather than unity. The tension spilled into the open when Given Katuta publicly branded him “cantankerous” during a live broadcast — a moment critics describe as symbolic of a broader loss of patience.
Where his platform once pulsed with urgency, observers note a visible contraction: fewer broadcasts, fewer voices, fewer believers. To them, it is the sound of momentum draining away.
Even former allies appear to be recalculating. Commentators point to the distancing of Fred M’membe, who once appeared frequently on Mwamba’s program but is now seen as having moved on — leaving behind what critics describe as a collapsing media alliance.
To his detractors, the trajectory is unmistakable: a once-amplified voice now echoing into a narrowing chamber, its influence receding in real time.
