Article Content

Well, Mr. Charles Chanda is well-known as being a person who "Sells land" in Zambia and even the citations used in this article verify that despite not a single sentence talking about him selling land. Already, this indicates a problem, as the citations are NOT talking about what is actually written in the article (the citations are all about his land sales).

From what I know, the person who was the Minister of Health for almost the entire time that we had Edgar Lungu as President (August 2016 - August 2021) was Chitalu Chilufya and even his article verifies it, contrary to what is written in this article about Charles Chanda. I've also tried to do a web search and I can't find a single source to verify that this UPPZ president was ever working in the field of Health.

So, technically, the part that says that he has his own party (United, Prosperous & Peaceful Zambia) is correct but the part where it says he was a health minister and even an award winner is entirely false. We shouldn't allow articles with untrue or not-properly-written information to spend many months on Wikipedia, as this is not what we want people to read when they search the person's name on Google Search.

So, I will see when I can come here and add his land-selling business to this article with the citations that are already here but for the moment, all this unverified writing about Health is to be erased immediately. Thanks.

I hope I haven't made this article an AfD Candidate by rubbing out so much information but it was clear that what was written here wasn't about him & that is why I have not hesitated to remove all of it, as per the BLP rules of Wikipedia. Let me just make time to see how I can add his selling of Zambian land to citizens into this article, as that is the exact business that he does right now alongside being a presidential candidate at national elections. The citations for his land scheme are already in the article (I made sure not to remove them; they are in the introduction) and I believe I will use those same citations (Together with more if necessary) when I do add that information soon.

Otherwise, I'm glad I found this article and have removed the untrue information already, as we do not want Google Search to give anybody the wrong information about this politician. Thanks.
