At least 27 people have been arrested for violence and arson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">At his press conference this week, Hichilema accused illegal artisanal miners of being behind the violence as his government was trying to crack down on this unregistered work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">&#8220;We will not allow any thuggery to return ever again,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure>\n<div data-component=\"image-block\" class=\"sc-3b6b161a-0 gXrNRM\">\n<div data-testid=\"image\" class=\"sc-5340b511-1 cMIbKV\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/5-key-moments-after-MPs-quiz-top-BBC-figures.png?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"sc-5340b511-0 gUePlo hide-when-no-script\" aria-label=\"image unavailable\"\/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1280px) 50vw, (min-width: 1008px) 66vw, 96vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/240\/cpsprodpb\/d7cf\/live\/bc13abe0-c604-11f0-8c06-f5d460985095.jpg.webp 240w,https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/320\/cpsprodpb\/d7cf\/live\/bc13abe0-c604-11f0-8c06-f5d460985095.jpg.webp 320w,https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1764203323_183_Stone-hurling-anger-unnerves-Zambias-fix-it-president.webp.webp 480w,https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/640\/cpsprodpb\/d7cf\/live\/bc13abe0-c604-11f0-8c06-f5d460985095.jpg.webp 640w,https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/800\/cpsprodpb\/d7cf\/live\/bc13abe0-c604-11f0-8c06-f5d460985095.jpg.webp 800w,https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/1024\/cpsprodpb\/d7cf\/live\/bc13abe0-c604-11f0-8c06-f5d460985095.jpg.webp 1024w,https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/1536\/cpsprodpb\/d7cf\/live\/bc13abe0-c604-11f0-8c06-f5d460985095.jpg.webp 1536w\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1764203323_183_Stone-hurling-anger-unnerves-Zambias-fix-it-president.webp.webp?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"X President Hakainde Hichilema crouches behind a microphone.

(&#8220;bally&#8221; is Zambian slang for father), he positioned himself as the solution to virtually all the problems the country faced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">Debt repayments have since been renegotiated and inflation has come down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">This week, Hichilema said that whereas four years ago there was a &#8220;huge debt mountain&#8221; and &#8220;we were living beyond our means&#8221;, now Zambia&#8217;s credit rating had improved and it was attracting investment from all over the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">He also argued that the country&#8217;s vital mining sector was rebounding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">But with the August 2026 election approaching, Hichilema is finding out that he is not necessarily thanked for what he has achieved but rather criticised for what has not changed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">Economist Trevor Hambayi has described the progress with the nation&#8217;s finances as an &#8220;overriding success story&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">Better budgetary controls have helped boost investment in infrastructure, education, social programmes, health and the recruitment of essential government workers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">Annual inflation has come down to just below 12%, and the currency, the kwacha, has recently strengthened following a precipitous decline in the early years of the Hichilema presidency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">But Mr Hambayi told the BBC that the failure to resolve the power crisis had had a big impact on people, along with the &#8220;high cost of living and the lack of employment opportunities&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">&#8220;These are the metrics that speak to the ordinary Zambian.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">In its October report, the Lusaka-based Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection, which monitors the cost of living, said people were being squeezed by high prices for essential food and non-food items that &#8220;continue to absorb a growing share of household income&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">It added that although inflation had eased, &#8220;many families still cannot meet basic needs without reducing food quality or skipping meals&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">The president did acknowledge the energy problem in September, saying that the government feels &#8220;the pain and frustration of power outages faced by our citizens&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure>\n<div data-component=\"image-block\" class=\"sc-3b6b161a-0 gXrNRM\">\n<div data-testid=\"image\" class=\"sc-5340b511-1 cMIbKV\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/5-key-moments-after-MPs-quiz-top-BBC-figures.png?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"sc-5340b511-0 gUePlo hide-when-no-script\" aria-label=\"image unavailable\"\/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1280px) 50vw, (min-width: 1008px) 66vw, 96vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/240\/cpsprodpb\/c120\/live\/31655b50-c3ad-11f0-9282-295abedd69b8.jpg.webp 240w,https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/320\/cpsprodpb\/c120\/live\/31655b50-c3ad-11f0-9282-295abedd69b8.jpg.webp 320w,https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1764203323_753_Stone-hurling-anger-unnerves-Zambias-fix-it-president.webp.webp 480w,https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/640\/cpsprodpb\/c120\/live\/31655b50-c3ad-11f0-9282-295abedd69b8.jpg.webp 640w,https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/800\/cpsprodpb\/c120\/live\/31655b50-c3ad-11f0-9282-295abedd69b8.jpg.webp 800w,https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/1024\/cpsprodpb\/c120\/live\/31655b50-c3ad-11f0-9282-295abedd69b8.jpg.webp 1024w,https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/1536\/cpsprodpb\/c120\/live\/31655b50-c3ad-11f0-9282-295abedd69b8.jpg.webp 1536w\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1764203323_753_Stone-hurling-anger-unnerves-Zambias-fix-it-president.webp.webp?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Getty Images A family scene showing people dealing with power cuts.

Now we have woken up,&#8221; he added, promising more solar and thermal energy projects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">Throughout his 15 years in opposition, Hichilema portrayed himself as an upholder of democratic values.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">But once in state house, he has been accused of passing oppressive measures which he had previously opposed, such as the Cybersecurity Law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">This legislation, while seen as necessary for dealing with things like online fraud and child pornography, has been criticised for allowing the surveillance of anyone the state sees as undesirable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">Academic Dr Sishuwa also accused Hichilema of using the law against his opponents &#8211; exactly what he had criticised under the previous administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">&#8220;After he commendably abolished the law on defamation of the president, he quickly turned to other repressive statutes to arrest critics and political opponents on a variety of charges such as sedition, criminal libel, hate speech, espionage and unlawful assembly,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">The president insists that his government respects the rule of law and has not targeted anyone for political reasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">Hichilema has also backed a controversial constitutional review process, including a plan to increase the number of constituencies so there would be more MPs in parliament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">While in opposition, he successfully campaigned against a review that incorporated a similar idea, saying this would enable then-President Lungu to stay in power and that it was too close to elections to embark on such a huge change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">He now argues that, according to the constitution, Zambia needs to create new constituencies every 10 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">The president says that the delimitation exercise, or the increase in the number of constituencies, is important to ensure that resources are distributed equally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">And he has hit out at critics who are planning to hold national prayers to protest against the process on Friday, saying there is already a consultation process and discussions at state house, as well as legal avenues to object.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">With the clock ticking down towards next year&#8217;s election, the president appears concerned about the way that people are responding to him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-component=\"text-block\" class=\"sc-3b6b161a-0 dPVOKT\">\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">While calling for tempers to cool, Hichilema has urged patience, saying it takes time for long-term development and investment programmes to have an impact.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">But as the volley of stones thrown his way attests, patience may be wearing thin for some.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-component=\"links-block\" class=\"sc-3b6b161a-0 djqsWD\">\n<div class=\"sc-666b6d83-0
