Claim
A Facebook page called Praise singers on 2nd March 2022, published an article claiming that UPND alliance member Mr. Kelvin Bwalya Fube “complained jittery” against Mr. Hakainde Hichilema the Republican President of Zambia. The article further claims that Mr. Bwalya is said to have said this on the 1st March at his residence, explaining that he was the one that made Mr. Hakainde Hichilema ascend to the presidency, but he has been forsaken, and now he is considering apologizing to the Patriotic Front so that he can be readmitted.
Rating Justification
The fact-checking process has been determined as false the claim that Mr. Kelvin Bwalya “complained jittery” against Mr. Hakainde Hichilema, that he is the one that helped the UPND party to ascend to power but he has been forsaken, and that he is considering apologizing to the Patriotic Front party for readmission. During a phone interview with the iVerify fact-checking team, Mr Kelvin Bwalya Fube refuted the claims in the article, and indicated that he does not comment on such and he however said that he instructed his media team to publish an article to inform the public that the news circulating on social media is fake. Mr Bwalya also shared a brief post on his Facebook page encouraging “Fellow Country Men Women, (to) Please ignore this article as it is Fake news…”
