A post circulating on social media claims that illegal voter registration and National Registration Card (NRC) processing have been taking place for the past three weeks at President Hakainde Hichilema’s farm in Choma District.
The claim was shared on Facebook on January 28, 2026, by a page named “Hadodi Hachisanga The Return” and was signed by Godfrey Himoonze.
🔍 Findings:
After verification with reliable and authoritative
sources, no such voter registration or NRC exercise is taking place at President Hichilema’s farm.
Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information and Media, Mr. Thabo Kawana, also dismissed the claim, stating that it is misleading and intended to cause unnecessary public anxiety.
