Zambia's post-election tensions have escalated after opposition presidential candidate Brian Mundubile alleged that state security operatives attempted to assassinate him during a raid on his Kabulonga residence. He claims the operation resulted in the fatal shooting of his close associate, Hon. Mutotwe Kafwaya, who was unarmed.

Authorities have rejected the allegations, with Police Inspector General Graphael Musamba insisting security forces were pursuing a suspected militia group. The incident has drawn international concern, with the EU, SADC, AU, Commonwealth and UN calling for transparency, accountability and restraint.

Mpho Sithole spoke to Zambian Member of Parliament, Hon. Emmanuel Banda to unpack these developments.
