Its final – Hichilema

Hakainde Hichilema
Hakainde Hichilema

United Party for National Development (UPND) leader Hakainde Hichilema has said that there is no possibility of reviving the political alliance with the Patriotic Front. Mr Hichilema said his party feels betrayed by the PF.

 

He said the PF has not been sincere in the way they have been handling the political pact for the past one year.

Mr Hichilema said his party will not reconcile with the PF over the Pact because the PF’s intensions of forming the Pact were not genuine.

He said the PF’s wish of wanting to go it alone has been granted and that the UPND will move on as a single party.

Mr Hichilema said accusing the UPND for the collapse of the pact is a mere public relations tool which the PF is putting across.

Mr. Hichilema was speaking to journalists in Lusaka today during the UPND’s card renewal exercise held at Mulungushi International Conference centre.

Early this week the PF General Secretary Wynter Kabimba accused the UPND of undermining the pact.

The UPND and PF formed a pact in 2009 with a view to remove the MMD from power.

  1. Tell us which costituency you are going to contest because for presidency it will be a waste of time and resource because nobody know you apart from bwengwa

  2. i did not read the story before i commented, sorry. Its a RBish story! who does not know that the pact is over between upnd and pf? The only pact which is there it is between the people of zambia and sata.

  3. The PACT was every Zambians wish but these 2 arrogant leaders are too selfish to agree, they would rather lose an election than share positions. They are a waste of space and they are not taking us anywhere. They are so desperate for Plot 1 that they would break the pack and waste people’s wishes for unity.
    Just remember that in every constituency where UPND or PF wins, MMD will come out 2nd and remember they too have strong areas aswell and the pact failure is a big score for them.
    Non of them has even told us what they will do if they win, they critise day and night but we have not heard any plans yet. How are they going to create jobs and revive the economy? No plan at all.

  4. Because the pact was welcome by most Zambians than those who were against it. It is very sad that HH is also against it when Sata is extending an olive branch. So now those who were undecided between UPND and PF will now move to Bwatooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

  5. MMD members should begin to cerebrate victory in advance. The situation would just lead to vote splitting and hence giving the ruling party an advantage. Sata knows this no wonder he maintains that the pact was still intact despite UPND clearly stating that it had withdrawn.

  6. UPND will continue to dwindle,HH will still loose with a wider margin,it will be between MMD and PF as always.But i blame both parties(PF and UPND) for the collapsing of the pact.You really wasted people’s time,selfish opposition leaders.

  7. HH, how you got into this is a complete puzzle to me; I hope lessons have been leant and now that’s all done and dusted, concentrate on the country’s economic policies going forward. Leave the kaponyas behind and let’s work on moving the country forward.

  8. Well, Sata will continue bleating that the pact is ‘intact’. He will continue foooling a small insignificant number of gullibles…..

  9. these are light weights politically, the pact is not about HH its on its between SATA and the people who supported the pact including the majority UPND supporters from difference provinces.

  10. A gentle man can interact with the thugs like the PF cadres. Kambwili caught in parliament. PF Cadres fight running battles with police in Lusaka. The scandals are many in the PF. You chaps should learn to be patient ba PF. Zanu palibe chino chaka elo ba SATA tibashika chino chaka

  11. Iwe ka Phiri, uzichindike umvela. We cant give presidency to that monister SATA. Pliz dont cheat us we have had enough of his nosense.

  12. Even your own wife if you torture her so much thinking she has no where to go, there will be a day when she will say its over, enough is enough. Some people even on this blog use to say why is HH forcing to be with people who do not want him? is it because he cannot win elections on his own. Kabimba some time in June 2010 said as far as he is concerned, he does not count the pact as such he does not belong to it. Now UPND and HH have left you to enjoy, go on with your lives.
    I really now believe many people on the ground who say we need better change not these recycled politicians who want to divide us for their quest for power. They need to retire indeed, youths are attacking each other just for the benefit of these old recycled politicians who want to use use for their good.

  13. go on the ground and see for yourself what is happening, the people who supported the pact have resolved to vote for SATA coz they know even if they vote for HaHa it will be a waste of votes he can´t win not even in 2026.

  14. Guys lets talk our business and not others to blame for this and that. Why should these politicians take us for a ride? I am sick and tired of these good for nothing politicians who keep on accusing each other for the fail of the so-called pact. Its now clear that these two parties are going nowhere now mainly because this kamafellow HH thought he was more popular than Sata. He also thought he was good looking and young with a smaller nose; very childish- he was cheating himself too. Sata is also someone who cannot be trusted because he supports gays and these gay things have no room in Zambia. It is now clear that come next elections these two are no match to RB for as long as RB is still alive. I end here. Sorry guys for telling the truth!

  15. Thanks HH for thinking like a man of substance, western province is all yours, no MMD, no PF as sata recomended to his Boss Chiluba to remove the powers of our Litunga. In 2008 presidential bye-elections Sata came to tell us that he will revive the BA64, that was enough mocking to our dignity as Lozis, who does this man think he is?. You recycled politicians have done more harm than good to our society for their good. Hope this time around is in HH to move the economy, not these recycled politicians who plunder the economy and later come to us pretending to be holy. We need scenity and responsibility in our society, not this joking of taking others for granted. This is real manipulation the recycled politicians are doing. WAKE UP ZAMBIANS AND STAND FOR YOUR NATION WITH LOVE AND DIGNIT

  16. I wonder why PF bloggrs here are so annoyed with HH & UPND for announcing that the Pact is dead. PF bloggers shld blame Sata for the demise of the Pact & not HH & UPND.

    Any1 who is sane knows tht PF & Sata plus his hired guns Kabimba & Scott killed the Pact early last year! Pliz follow news closely bck home so tht u’ve facts!
    In my view, HH has made a wise decision coz Sata wld have dented his reputation in this Pact. My prediction is tht HH will come out a good # 2 from MMD in these elections. 2016 will be 4 HH as PF will not be a factor in 2016 on the Zambian Political scene!

  17. .

    I have said all long that this is the position HH wanted to put and dump SATA – into the dungeon. I have to say, its very cleaver politics. HH has managed to “Ooze” and “dribble” the Master Dribbler.

    UPND has come out above PF silly tactics with Grace and Maturity. Now its up to HH to take UPND as far as he can see. HH – Don’t worry, politics is a learning curve. It’s how you come out when you have reached rock bottom. Well done!!.

  18. What is on the ground is that Zambians feel used by these recycled guys who do not want to retire, we know they are there for economic survival.

  19. Muyangana
    you should find something better to do than spending your time blogging here no one reads your comments youn are very boring infact more boring than senior citizen.

  20. #16, which pipo have resolved to vote for Sata after demise of UPND-PF Pact? Problem with PF supporters is that u refuse to accept the facts! Most voters who where in the Pact are now looking up to HH especially in light of Sata’s advocay of Homosexuality in Zambia.

    Zambia is a christian Nation & no law in Zambia supports Homosexuality as Sata is claiming that Zambian Laws provide for homosexuality. Thank God, Sata can never be Zambian President!

    Zambia is a christian Nation & no law in Zambia supports Homosexuality as Sata is claiming that Zambian Laws provide for homosexuality. Thank God, Sata can never be Zambian President!

  22. IF YOU WANT CHANGE AND IF YOU WANT YOUR VOTE TO COUNT,
    VOTE SATA AND PABWATO.
    DONT AGAIN WASTE TIME ON SMALL PARTIES OR ELSE YOUR VOTE WILL NOT COUNT.
    BE PART OF THE BALLOT REVOLUTON
    SATA AND PF 2011

  23. What is funny is that all thieves from Chiluba to Rupiah and there clonies are dead scared of Sata? I need someone who will bring sanity to this Country, and just like Panji said on Let the People talk yeatersday, we need someone with the energy and drive to move this country forward. That i only see from Sata to a large extent and Given Lubinda among the current crop of politicians.

    No one in the sane mind listens to Hakaivotela Heka (HH), he’s a waste of time and can go to bwengwa if he wants. We will move forward, implimenting PVT and ensuring all votes cast are guided and reported as they are. Thank you HH but this is your demise in Zambian politics… You better go and join MMD because you’re now behaving like them.

  24. Zed Patriot
    its who is an i.diot no wonder you support someone whom you know very well that he can not win the elections no matter what.

  25. Zed Patriot
    infact you ahve a small head you not fit to be here kapala iwe, chi tribalist i have read most your comments on the UPND campiagn website called ZWD. fooolish boy

  26. .

    Fred False Prophet M’membe. What is next for you? I know you read Lusaka Times frequently and sometimes post comments on LT. I also know that, part of the money that Sata got from Taiwan was paid to you to drive the campaign for Sata 24/7. Nothing wrong with that. In addition, the conditions attached were to cut off HH from getting headlines in The Post. Feel free to dispute my claims. Then gain you are coward. Evidence and movement of funds are here in the UK Bank Accounts.

    Cont…..

  27. .

    Magande has completely failed to kick-start, in spite of you connecting the Wires & Bolts together. Ooh I forgot, Magande has no chance to overlap UPND in Southern Province. It worked, but was short lived.

    Where does Sata go now? You have kept quiet on the Loans from Taiwan because you know the whole truth. You have failed to deliver and Sata has gotten reduced to begging HH to revive the Pact because he knows the mathematics are not jus adding up. Guess What? The young man “HH” has thrown the Killer Punch. What was Alpha is now Omega. Rather The Beginning and now The End.

    cont…

  28. .

    Last and not least, Fred, brave yourself and see the reality. Time is up for M’membe, Mahthani and Sata.

    The Three Musketeers have fallen.

  29. John Phiri

    “Is there anything else you want to say ? Thank you for telling me how you feel” (spoken gently).

  30. John Phiri, stop trying to duplicate my comments to that Mwela of yours!

    If you have any problem with my comments which I call ‘pragmatic’, kill yourself!!!

    Get it right, Sata will never rule Zambia! HH has dribbled Sata & I undestand your feelings towards this! HH has fixed Sata full stop!

  31. Pragmatist
    now i see that you are very dull chhikkala iwe how can i duplicate your comment when that comment you wrote using the other name came earlier than the other name you are using.

  32. Pragmatist
    it would have been better if you complained using the name Mwela ok?
    have you seen your dullness now.

  33. On “He [HH] said the PF has not been sincere in the way they have been handling the political pact for the past one year… Hichilema said his party will not reconcile with the PF over the Pact because the PF’s intensions of forming the Pact were not genuine… said the PF’s wish of wanting to go it alone has been granted and that the UPND will move on as a single party” I am glad that the mighty UPND TEAM has put Sata and his cult where they, PF, belong — that is, the politics dustbin of Zambia.

    Let all progressive PF supporters, since there are no PF members on this Earth, move on to vote for UPND in this 2011 elections to ensure MMD is removed from power.

    Be blest all and vote for HH and the UPND to form GRZ Administration this 2011 after the tripartite elections…

  34. Pragmatist
    have you seen your dullness ka, ati we are educated mu UPND.. thats why we just say don´t kubeba we know more than you ba kapala.

  35. It is not about supporting who will win the elections but it is about supporting the right candidate people. HH for president. The difference here is that some people are so dull that instead of supporting people with leadership qualities, they seem to want to go with the wind and vote for necompumps like Satas an old,old police constable from the colonials era. Gentlemen and ladies we have been to school to help the unfortunate ones who never made it to school to make the right choice, but unfortunately it appears people who never went to school are dictating to those who went to school. God help Zambia. Kaponyas are our brothers who never made it to school and we must help them to make the right choice not the other way round and seen in the famous John Phiri.

  36. Iwe Chilombo
    how can you ask for ask for Mushota who is face down in the pillow this time.

    Anyway it’s very sad the pact has failed to be resolved after collapsing. We are now a country that will lack pollitical balance.

    Having diffenrent parties in powers creates a sense of insecurity in the leaders and results in preformance as a result of wanting to be relected. What a shame

  37. i don´t why lusaka times is not banning maestro when he ahs been banned on all the other zambian websites.

  38. Chang Zeign
    don´t worry the pact is still on its now about SATA and every well meaning citizen of zambia who supported the pact. just forget about HH he is a nothing we the people make the pacts so we are moving forward with PA BWATO this year.

  39. Abena John Phiri .. hold your horses .. I am sue there is a way you can communicate your message without using any strong language. Zambia niyatu.

  40. .

    40# John Phiri

    To start with, I will not reduce myself to your standards. I am far above that. I do not need anyone to pay me. I have earned my share of hard in my life. God has blessed me and I am thankful to him.

    I am just telling the truth and being objective. I think you need to dial 999, cause you will need a doctor very soon. Sorry, I will not attempt to call any insults. Its not my nature.

    cont…

  41. We Zambians are fools. We can forget about Zamtel scandle, NAPSA scandle, Now it will be zesco to go because MMD has washed your faces with the issue of gays. They have drown your heads in Gay story. Rupiah and Dora **** everyday behind the back of my small girl friend of mine Thandiwe. Remember that issue even Sata support it after he wins can only be accepted or practiced by fools who are immoral which i think they even do it no in secrecy. Lets not let these MMD thieves Rupiah inclusive to ransack the nation in the name of protecting fools who can accept to be gays. Lets look on the other hand of sata, citizen empowerment which is a key factor in economic development.

  42. .
    continued from 53.

    As a matter of fact, I can finish Fred False Prophet M’membe without the GRZ or MMD Machinery. However, that is not my area and its entirely up to MMD to deal with M’membe. I am not MMD but just support some of their Development programs.

    Just like, I have supported some of UPND ideas. Unfortunately SATA has not shown anything but
    keep de-campaigning himself all the time with his associates.

    Have a nice life…Don’t give up, its just politics.

  43. This John Phiri likes insulting..we do not understand why.. please just debate objectively..thank you.

  44. Teacher
    take it easy you are in europe while your tribe man HH wants people to vote for him be serious and stop commenting on political story.

  45. INDEPENDENT OBSERVER
    unachila na iwe chikamba you are one of the people i wouldn´t want to meet in life, you are refusing that you don´t get paid when we know very well that you are paid i know you be very carefull mwana.

  46. Thanks John Phiri,

    But for Zambia it should not be about sata. It’s about creating a real sense of multi partism like we experience in out here.

    Political leaders should be accountable buy the ballot and even be forced to resign if they new the strength of the people.

    We need achange in that respect. If it’s sata then so be it or HH. MMD can then come back. Believe me the country would change. Good morning

  47. Bloggers, Sata is an experience politician, HH is still behind, he thinks the pact is with UPND now ,walk up sir,the people are now divided because of the pact break away , Sata has pulled alot of pact sympathisers, I still respect this man (Sata).

  48. Chang Zeign
    listen now what i meant is that the pact is still there majority of the people who wanted the pact to work are now supporting SATA. they have endorsed him they are saying they can not waste they votes on HH
    all the people want is change for the batter and that change is only going to come by voting for SATA.
    NOTE: THAT VOTING FOR HH IS A WASTE OF VOTES, ENERGY AND TIME.

  49. John Phiri the tribalist, not only are you a danger to yourself but to Society! Shikulu Sata is looking for you, ******. You shameless homosexuals who only have erections towards a fellow men!

  50. Sata has the energy to put MMD to permanent death sentence in this election. My brother HH has to appreciate that getting into plot one is not a simple game. u have to be tested, u must politically contribute, u must have tested some kind of political imprisonment as a form of baptism to make u a strong leader. SATA has gone thorugh all those rough roads, so Boss, if UPND looses this election , that would be the end of your political career, remember what happened to the “the old lion”.. Old Harry ANC. it operated and died within the confines of southern towns and it was buried in Choma, UPND may also diminish, those intelligent MPs from your party wants to be in government one day so dont waste their time. Take heed and join popular crusade by supporting SATA for 2011.

  51. #60 you opinion is not correct. What is happening on the groung is very different… People have not forgotten how Sata knifed people in Chawama, how he was supporting the third team,how he is supporting homos in Zambia. Note also times have changed and the young generation has seen what is happening in the Arab worlds and people want youths to lead Zambia. Sata is an old,old colonial police constable and his time is over. It is now time for the young generation to run the affairs of the nation.Viva HH, VIVA UPND.

  52. #55, what evidence do you have for Sata’s ‘citizen empowerment’? are you talking about the ‘money in your pockets’ slogan?
    Not all Zambians are foools and by the way there are foools in other countries too. Generalisations like those are incompatible with progressive ideas but i must add you are not alone, your party made a generalised statement to the effect that ‘all tongas, do not think with their brains but thier bums’. To add salt to it they even refused to apologise.
    Have you also forgotten the Chawama pangas and the 4 billion in the trunks to kabwe?
    As for the gay issue, Sata should have stuck his ground and said there is nothing wrong with gays (if that is what he beleives), he should not have flip-flopped between pro and anti gay.

  53. This is becoming a play to practice insults. What a shame. There better words of ridiculing some one if you are unhappy. Stop pragmatist

  54. Pragmatist
    THE PEOPLE HAVE SEEN YOUR DULLNESS DON´T EVEN WASTE MY TIME KAPALA IWE. CHI ZINA KUIPA ATI MWELA USLESSS.

  55. My God !lt is unfortunate to see even those that claim to be intellectuals join crookered mmd type of politics of slander,deceit etc.HH you are not being sincere when you too join these liers in falsely accusing Sata and pf as gays. We NEED real intellectualism.If this is the line you will take then l see you deminishing. It is also foolishness to say Zambia is a christian nation when the originator of this foolish declaretion is a known unrepentant criminal-Chiluba and adulteror.Still living with a stolen woman .look at the conduct of people that today are saying the same. Nosense! Chritianity is not making useless declaretions. Show your works! Love your neighbour as yourself .You lay down always to wait for what Sata will say so that you can twist it. You’re indeed afflicted.YOU just…

  56. Its a very well known fact that RB will carry the day because for sure votes will be split PF members will vote for PF and UPND members will vote for UPND and MMD members will vote for MMD and guess what MMD will be victorious. Let us not even bit about the bush on this one because its just a fact

  57. God bless Zambia indeed because at the end of the day regardless of who wins we still remain where we are and one has to work to have money in his pockets because it will not just come because Mr Sata is president.

  58. John Phiri my brother, how many people are going to argue with on this blog? Are you holding on to something or hiding something? just a friendly advice any way; By the way they say a person who gives advice is not intelligent but a clever person is the one who receives the advice. Am also for the pact any way i really want it to work, but going by the way things are unfolding between the two parties, am afraid to mention that the playing turf is becoming trickier by the day, hence we really need to be more objective when we make comments. Zambia is ours nobody is gonna take it away from us but we ( the people) can remove bad people from the system, good night my brother.

  59. It is clear that the PF was not interested in the pact what with the launch of their manifesto at garden motel today so soon after the demise of the pact. It is like a divorcee quickly announcing to the public of the intentions to marry so soon after divorcing. Lesson No1 to my fellow Zambians never trust a snake you never know when it will bite you!

  60. Imwe ba Bwato. Can’t you think of a better logo for your Party. It seems that Bwato of yours was drawn in a hurry by a grade 1 monitress. Maybe thats how you think upstairs. Its time you hired a good artist to do a better job for your logo kwati yaba Grade 1 sure. Kaya! People vote for nice looking logos like for MMD OR ZADECO OR Poor Pipo’s Party.

  61. with or without pact MMD is outtttttttt. Rupiah, Dora, Kunda, and all the Minions of Bwezani OOOOUUUUTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  62. As bad as MMD is, UPND and PF are tribal parties that have let Zambians down. If the MMD wins don’t blame vote rigging, as Zambians we won’t let future regional tyrants take office. Every day it’s a Tonga Bemba war on LT, try disguise as much as you want most bloggers on LT are leaning HH because they are tonga, PF because they are Bemba; and only a few disgrantled Lozis hurt over the barotse agreement lean HH( UPND).

  63. These pf guys like John Phiri have no intellectual capacity to debate, so just forgive them for they do not know what they are doing. When you tell them the truth about their leader, they can insult you to the grave, but we will not stop as the post archives is in our heads. They should also bear in mind that some of us are responsible citizens who have a heart for the nation, therefore, if they want us to forget about Sata’s past deed, they should just do us a favour by removing him from the political scene. We will not allow them to impose this dictator on our beautiful nation, a man who supported the third term, plundered the economy with Chiluba etc and today he comes in another skin, under my foot should such a one deceive me. Pf cannot change me as long as Sata’s past remains…

  64. As bad as MMD is, UPND and PF are tribal parties that have let Zambians down. If the MMD wins don’t blame vote rigging, as Zambians we won’t let future regional tyrants take office. Every day it’s a Tonga Bemba war on LT, try disguise as much as you want most bloggers on LT are leaning HH because they are tonga, PF because they are Bemba; and only a few disgrantled Lozis hurt over the barotse agreement lean HH( UPND).

    So guess who people will vote for?

  65. LT why do my posts have to be moderated but bloggers that bark get theirs prioritized! I am demanding an explanation now.

  66. Zambia is for us all and will not allow these recycled politicians to cause more harm to our nation. I know how Museven has taken advantage of his people here in Uganda, and will not allow such in our nation in the name of Sata to happen. Museven has taken advantage of his people and that is the nature of these recycled politicians of Africa, as Such Sata would not be an exceptional as he has shown already his inconsistency by even supporting homosexuals.

  67. John Phiri, it’s good you have shown hatrage of my postings, am ready to dig deeper so that they can keep offending you more. You can hate me for stating a fact, why do you read them if you hate them anyway.

  68. Sata’s past deeds;
    – Economic plunderer with his Chiluba regime as number 3 and economic advisor
    – Third term bid for Chiluba
    – US$ 27 000 confiscated by the South African government
    – Chawama matchetes and pungers
    – Tribalist, as they are the ones who introduced tribalism with Chiluba
    – privatising companies without policies to protect zambians from abuse
    – Accusing Chinese man to have stolen his passport in London untill CCTV reviewed the truth
    – Us$ 30 million debt from Thaiwanese businessmen to motgage zambian land
    – Calling non-Bembas tribalists which causes divisions in our nation
    – Inconsistency
    – Insults
    – Recommending to his Boss Chiluba to remove the power of the Litunga of the Lozi people.
    etc

  69. Guess this is the last time we are telling ba shikulu ba Sata.
    Its an executive decision.! Its final! Its over! Its period! We are done with you! We very serious people! Move on! Seee you on the ballot!

  70. IT IS FOOOLISHNESS AND WASTE OF VOTES TO VOTE FOR HH AND IT IS EVEN MORE FOOOOLISH TO VOTE FOR AN HEADLESS CHICKEN WHICH MOVES TO AND FRO WASTING PIPOS MONEY….THE WAY FORWARD IS ……..DONCHI KUBEBA

  71. On ““We should not attach emotions and political affiliations. Let’s rise above party lines, put our interests aside and support Sata. The way things are on the ground is that Sata is more popular… My mathematics show that he (Sata) may fall short of some votes. That’s why it will be important for the people who are saying they are neutral to vote for him so that he can have the required numbers,” Col Panji [KAUNDA] said” reported by the PF, the POST, Magazine I urge the UPND NEC or NMC to immediately discipline their so-called UPND member in the name of Panji Kaunda before he brings confusion in the UPND Eastern Province leadership and general UPND party membership.

    The useless comments that the POST has amplified from his statement as retrogressive to UPND’s campaign…

  72. Hakaivotela Humwine Heka.. How one surely win, No media coverage, One Province, No NGO, No church.. HH is wasting our time, the man has failed to use his brain. Member who are afraid of loosing positions in the pact hav misled Him. HH pliz come out from yoself cocoon, Panji and Chirwa have offered advice. Yo arrogance will permanently destroy u politically.

  73. John Phiri says:
    March 19, 2011 at 7:15 people who supported the pact including the majority UPND supporters from difference provinces.

    JOHN IT WAS ONLY YESTERDAY YOU TOLD ME UPND WAS A ONE TRIBE AND ONE AREA PARTY.HOW DID YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND OVERNIGHT?
    NOW ITS FROM MANY PROVINCES?
    WOW YOU REALLY HAVE A GRASP ON WHERE UPND IS POPULAR DON’T YOU!
    gROW UP YOU TRIBALIST AND SEE THAT EVERYONE KNOWS THE BOAT HAS SUNK AND YOUR DEVIL GOD SATA IS GOING TO HELL THIS YEAR

  74. SATA – Defined as “YOU CAN”T TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS”.
    Does Zambia want to have someone who left $27,000 in RSA as he did not know there was a limit to carrying cash into other countries?
    Will Zambians except that Sata has two PHD’s if he does not show them to anybody?
    How can Zambians trust someone if all they talk about is a 90 day economic miracle without evidence of policy changes.
    Sata wanted to talk about how his kaponyas would get back power at intercity bus station and the markets.
    Does Zambia really want itself governed like one big Lusaka city council?
    How many plots will go to Sata?

  75. Why needing HH now, when he was there you insulted him from under five to tribalist, guys be realistic, who do you think you are? HH that was a good move, it’s better you lose elections with dignit than in bed with snakes which can bite you any time they feel like, and insult you when you say it is too painful. Viva HH

  76. I just can not understand how so many people in Zambia can forget in such a short time what this man is really about. He hides behind his jokes and blunt humour, but the man is a completely immoral and shameless opportunist who has no moral boundaries in his pursuit of whatever he wants. If he needs to tell you silly jokes to get your votes, he will. If he needs to hack you with a machete to prevent you from giving someone else your vote, he will. If he needs to start a tribal war in order to win elections – recently he made the unbelievable statement that the presidential race will be between the ‘Bantu Botatwe’ on one side (HH and Levy) and himself (Bemba-speaking) on the other side – he will. This is exactly the kind of person you do not want your children to grow up into

  77. Michael Sata pretends to have some super-special answers for this nation that he kept secretly to himself all the time that he worked so obsequiously under the first two presidents of Zambia; and amazingly, people believe him! He claims that he could not implement his “great” ideas back then simply because he was not the one in power. This is the first sign of the man’s great dishonesty. It is one thing to work under another president who can not implement your ideas, but it is quite another thing to sing praises to what that president is doing, and saying it is the best for the country when you “know” it is not. Michael Sata used to praise Chiluba at every opportunity for what he was doing and even went as far as aggressively advocating a change of constitution to allow him a Third Te

  78. I just can not understand how so many people in Zambia can forget in such a short time what this man is really about. He hides behind his jokes and blunt humour, but the man is a completely immoral and shameless opportunist who has no moral boundaries in his pursuit of whatever he wants. If he needs to tell you silly jokes to get your votes, he will. If he needs to hack you with a machete to prevent you from giving someone else your vote, he will. If he needs to start a tribal war in order to win elections – recently he made the unbelievable statement that the presidential race will be between the ‘Bantu Botatwe’ on one side (HH and Levy) and himself (Bemba-speaking) on the other side – he will. This is exactly the kind of person you do not want your children to grow up into.

  79. I just can not understand how so many people in Zambia can forget in such a short time what this man is really about. He hides behind his jokes and blunt humour, but the man is a completely immoral and shameless opportunist who has no moral boundaries in his pursuit of whatever he wants. If he needs to tell you silly jokes to get your votes, he will. If he needs to hack you with a machete to prevent you from giving someone else your vote, he will. If he needs to start a tribal war in order to win elections HE WILL GET KABIMBA TO START IT.

  80. Well done H.H for leaving the PACT behind.
    Sata wasted everyones time since April 2010 and was the one who was not honest with Zambians.
    Why does Sata ask to talk now when he has had since close to one year to resolve issues?
    Did it really take the power of Joe’s insults to make Sata and Kabimba CRY like little girls?
    Why did these two PF leaders start hurling tribal insults if they still believed a pact was achievable?

    Sata you have been told now twice from the leader of UPND that its goodbye.
    Are you one of those weird stalkers who chase old girlfriends all night to see what they are doing everyday?
    Well done to GRZ news for giving time and space to UPND to show PF who is honest in this.

  81. HH has not used his brain to calculate his chances of becoming a president. He has never been in politics that’s why he has made his greatest mistake. He should have become vice president then president next. But now he will be nothing. I pity him. He should have realized he needed a platform to prove his is Presidential material, and could have been done as vice president. Obama was in politics, HH has never won any elections, so he is not a tested politician, His MPs have more political experience than him. So let Qtn HH his credentials. Get to yr senses HH and rejoin Pact if U are serious.

  82. The duplicity of Mr. Sata’s character appears even in his policies. He has this impossible mix of policies that can only deceive a person who is unable to think in integral wholes. Mr. Sata has on one hand, a policy of very low taxes (within 90 days) and on the other hand, another policy of improving the lives of the poorest people by building them modern houses, also within 90 days (besides giving jobs to all unemployed nurses and teachers, increasing the salaries of all teachers, policemen, students, etc). If you take these policies separately, they are technically possible and doable, but not if you try to integrate them. Mr. Sata is relying on the failure of people to think by integration, a mental weakness he also clearly exhibits. Just as he has seen that they cannot integrate this.

  83. Politics, politics, politics. The only game were even the most intelligent can become irrelevant and obsolute if they make a wrong move. HH is headed that way right now. Politics is game of numbers. Those with a following win, those by themselves like HH become history, not part of history. Kavindele, Nevers Mumba, Derick Mbita Chitala, to mention a few tested the beauty of power. Today they as irrelevant as their names. Sata, an old man has kept his name still going.

    There is nothing final here apart from HH hammering the last nail on his politic coffin. HH is not a likable person, his association with the Pact would have made his name still on our notepads. The biggest problem with HH is that he has no charisma. He has been to school but looks politically dull. The reason is ?????

  84. Donkey # 91 I dont knw where you get info from Obama has lost an election b4. check ur facts right. And iwe John Phiri, why do you keep on using foul language. Thats why people call PF member bakaponya bcoz of people like u. The language u have been using befits a kaponya waku soweto. ur language is similar to your god sata, winter kabimba. Is foul language part of your manifesto? twebeni twishibe. I feel ur pain my brother, the ‘master dribbler’ has been dribbled. ur god wanted to use UPND to go 2 plot 1. It didnt work. move on.

  85. well,well. If u ask me HH has gained ground. He has clearly come out of the pact with an upper an advantage Sata. Sata is now begging bcoz the statistics on the ground is against him. HH vs RB this yr dispute it or not. There is panic in the Pf camp right with rhumour of massive exodus to UPND. The prophecy seems to be shaping up. Young ones to wrestle power frm RB. Sata clearly beaten at his own game – a sign of the fall. His peak was 2006 frm then on the recession set and nw it has bottomed and trust me recovery may not be fourthcoming bcoz of the way the party(Pf) was run under Sata – no revival structures.

  86. By the way PF is just getting stronger and stronger. I am just from attending a meeting of branch elections in Lundazi. It was good. UPND must do the same. I hope they can manage soon. Pabwatooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  87. The insults on this blog are nauseating. Others insult calling things the way they ought to be called, and others are intellectualizing them hiding behind higher education. This is all nonsense, insults are insults in whatever form, whether from a Kaponya or from a one man company CEO.

    On Sata’s corruption, the Task Force on Corruption never left any stone unturned, and I believe Levy PM (MHSRIP) died with a peace of mind that Sata never plundered the nation, he was dribbled by FTJ even in plundering.

    I need help from a well informed blogger. I want to know what role HH played in the privatisation process, his relationship with Chiluba, a situation that led to a lot of suffering of many Zambians. I have never heard Chiluba say anything significantly negative about HH, and similarly…

  88. Saw a small crowd of friends, relatives and thympasithers at a park in Kitwe at a meeting called by Magande. And he also said he is supported by many Zambians countrywide. Joker – just like the Sata.

  89. From 112

    And similarly, I have never heard HH sting Chiluba despite all the corruption cases and questionable acquittals, apart from when he compaired him to a monkey in the maize field and noise making for the neighbours with Chiluba’s BA nuisanse.

    Please educate me, BUT DON’T INSULT ME, NAPAPATA…………!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  90. 101 DONKEY greetings, are you a normal person for you to have written such “Obama was in politics, HH has never won any elections, so he is not a tested politician, His MPs have more political experience than him” nonsense, when you know it very well that president HH won the UPND presidency elections against ULP’s Sakwaiba Sikota at a UPND convention that was orgainsed by Sakwiba Sikota in 2006?

    Stop exposing your stupidity on this platform and blog objectively.

    For your information, president HH is the only democratically elected president of all the presidents/leaders of political parties in Zambia. HH is also a Headman of his village in Monze District of Zambia — a thing that shows that he was elected by people from there.

    Be blest all and vote for HH…

  91. UPND will start the revival of Zambia.
    Vote for change from old dinosaurs to the young and educated who can bring new ideas to a run down country.
    20 years of MMD has left the country hungry for jobs with a select few living in multi roomed mansions with BMW’s for everyone in the family.
    I’m talking about Ministers in government.
    They have not performed for the money so change them.
    Would you leave a bald tyre on a car for 20 years?

  92. Five years after the death of Anderson Kambela Mazoka and Hakainde has not cleaned himself of the stain of the succession debacle. This year only a Tonga can be President of Zambia.

  93. May I humbly implore Lusakatimes LT to seriously consider blocking Tribalism comments.This’s a public domain expected to be neutral & promoting peace in the country.

    REMEMBER TRIBALISM IS TREASONAL OFFENCE.

    Am disgusted with some of the above comments bent on tribal hatrage.

  94. HH for 2011 eleven. No turning back. We can make it with UPND this time around. We re the most formidable party to win this election. Go HH go. Sata is running for his last time and he will not come near it. He will never test State House; why and how can young people always let old people like Sata lead the nation when we have young people like HH? cOME ON zAMBIAN youths its our time to take the challenge. Vote HH 2011

  95. We need a young leader who is clean and national in character. One who does not rely on his tribe to be leader of Zambia. HH thus does not qaulify. Maybe Chipimo, Sikota or Milupi.

  96. HH our man, we are moving it, remember there is retirement age in every type of Job because it is just natural that when you reach a certain age your level of activity reduces hence the need to leave it to others. What is it that is making these recycled piliticians not to retire and leave it to those who are still active. Sata, V.J Mwanga, Banda, etc leave it to those who are still active, we have seen your faces enough, thats why you can even divide the nation to remain in power.

  97. HH does not need togo to state houseto be comfortable. He already is..unlike most losers of this forum. What we need in southern province is self-government, to be freed from the millstones of the thieving tribes from the nothern parts of our country. If we can achieve that, mark my words, southern province will take off. We have the integrity,education and infrasftsucure to make it. Just leave us alone

  98. When all is said and done, let me conclude by saying that the race this year is between Sata and HH. Sata has northern, copperbelt, luapula, lusaka and part of central. HH has Southern, western, part of central and part of northern western. almost 80% of the will betaken by the two parties. MMD is now left with 20% and has a chance of rising to 30%. remember this has been the winning %age for MMD.

  99. I think when it comes to the good, the old and the ugly in politics, the Post archives, which Chanda Chimba falls on extensively, covers all politicians. The Post have been consistent from the time we reverted to multipartysm. They have covered every politician in zambia worth his salt. It is only regrettable that in this era, they have put a blind eye to how they perceived certain politicians who were in power at one time, and parade them as modern day savours of zambian politics with the ability to economically liberate zambia. For sure, no wonder they say in politics, a leopard changes its spots. i wonder what the Post have seen change in these politicians, who left a trail of political and economical destructions in their time. i really wonder. May the best candidate win, whatever.

    60# John Phiri

    Fare Play! Like wise, I have no intention to meet you in life. Just try and debate, guided by Wisdom, Intelligence and Progressiveness. Just how many people will you insult in your life? You are simply aggravating and fanning the flames to your Soul, Mind and Body. Not worth it, in this short time we have in life.

    Again, I do not need anyone to pay me to air my views and those threats that you are making to be care will die fruitless. I have earned my share of hard work from profession and have donated hundreds of millions helping the disadvantaged children in Orphanage Centers of Zambia. That itself gives me hope when I go to bed every night.

    cont….

    What have you done lately for Zambia to make a difference apart from your insults and tribal misgivings?

    Try this website ADVFN.COM – sign for a full subscription and you might learn something.

  102. we it is sad that the PF secretary General behaved in such manner.Just imagin after receiving a letter that did not have the UPND letter head the whole secretary General went to address the Press.If i was Kabimba,i would have talked to Chibwe about the letter from the Professor to find out the if the position of the the professor was that of the UPND.I totally blame Mr Kabimba for behaving in such a manner.Mr Kabimba you have destroyed our hope to form the new Government.It was good if our party lost you than losing the UPND.Your behavior will make our President to loss this year want or not.The MMD is going through belive me or not.I think Mr Kabimba you were being sponsored by the MMD because even a person who did not go to school would handle the matter of proffessor” letter better…

  103. # Independent Mind
    Do not argue with this guy” John Phiri”. He seems very frustrateted person. Instead of telling us what his part PF will do or convince us on Policy matter, or economic programmes which makes him chose PF, he is busy insulting every one who tells written evidence of what wrong his Cobra and Kabimba have done when they were in UNIP and MMD. He can not go own to insult us and tell us that we should believe in his Party even when evidence or poor performance is there?

  104. Good move HH; better to go it alone and try out for 2016 than give this goon the presidency on a silver plate! Sata will receive the shock of his life this yr, watch this space.

  105. HH IS DIRTY, THAT MONEY WAS STOLEN FROM THE PRIVITISATION OF THE MINES. IT IS WISHFUL THINKIN THAT THIS MAN IS POPULAR. MAYBE IN MONZE.IF HE THINKS HE WILL SPLIT THE VOTES AND LIMIT PF’S CHANCES, I TELL HIM WE AR READY TO DEFEAT THEM TIGETHER WITH RB……IYI NIDONCHI KUBEBA

  106. #131 we cannot believe you because privatisation took place from 1991 to 2001 and not even a single day did we hear of HH’s name not until when he came on the political scene in 2006, considering this fact we zambians feel it is not true, you just want to deny as a good leader. HH is a good man with a truck record of success in all the 21 companies he was a board chairman.In the private sector you are chosen on merit no favours from anyone. HH is a man for our time as Zambians.

  107. if PF is claimng to be popular why are they still talking about the PACT or even small parties helping them to win…HH solideir it alone mwaiche you have my vote.

  108. Shikapwasha says Tonga Chiefs should plead with HH not to stand so that the Southern Province votes can go to MMD. In short MMD is bussy soliciting for for support from HH. HH failed to make this judgement when MMD sponsored NGI kept distabilising the pact. He has now clearly fallen into their trap. The only option now is SATA and PF just like PANJI KAUNDA SAID

  109. #1 & 2, if u can comment before reading a story, that means u speak b4 thinking. This is the common charasteristic among many pf cadres.

  110. THE PACT IS GONE, HH WILL NEVER BE THE PRESIDENT OF THIS COUNTRY. SATA MAY NOT BE THE PRESIDENT ALSO.

  111. HH you cannot win presidential elections this year. If any one in your camp is assuring you, he is lying to you. This hard fact! You are likely to lose more than you lost in 2006 and 2008. You are a spoiler.
    If think am lying wait and see. I ghave interracted with many on the ground. People are not happy with your stance on the PACT. Many think that you are self, proud and unreasonable. am just being sincere with you.
    You will are wasting your resources.

  112. Though i haven’t gone through the coments. I feel HH did not not get it right. So, with these aligations that MMD offered you mnoney it makes us change goal posts. Well, you have said it and you will not reverse it but know that Zambians has a last say when they will cast their votes. Wish you all the best.

  113. It is time for real change. HH is the CHANGE WE NEED. Kaponyas, keep crying. We understand your confusion. Selling your old man is like trying to convince would-be buyers of ‘fresh’ fish that the fish is very fresh despite the almost ‘audible’ stench. I know that most (not all) of those that are against this young man are just against his tribe. If HH was just to change his names to some names from certaing provinces it would be a total whitewash of the rest of the candidates. Tribe will take us nowhere. Chiluba came from Luapula but how much better is Luapula from the rest of Zed. likewise, KK came from Chinsali. take a look at Chinsali town or just the road leading there. Levy was a ndola Rural man. Anything to talk about there? Felow country-men and women tribe is nothing,

  114. Tribe is nothing but integrity, morality and civility are everything. Why is the retirement age set at 55? but here we are discussing which of the two 75-year olds should be our next presidents? Shame on us all!!! This is why Africa is 50 years old compared with other continents. Listening to the once-upon- a-time leading proponent of United States of Africa, one wonders what type of pipo can have such an illiterate and immature man for President. SHAME. it is Time for REAL CHANGE!!! Hate me, love me, insult me or whatever but I think the message has hit some of you below the belt. I rest my case

  115. YES HH IS SATANIST HE SHOLUD EXPLAIN HOW HE GOT THE MONEY HE BOASTS ABOUT AT HIS AGE.DONT VOTE FOR A SATANIST.VIVA PABWATO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  116. You started with the tribal tag on HH. We have unmasked you by showing you that your President is the most tribal of all. Now you are on the so-called satanism. Just go to school, graduate, join the right companies, work hard and rise through the ranks, become CEO/ chairman of many companies – local and international, buy shares, invest in real estate and in no time you’ll be an HH. To Kaponyas/gonenas, everyone should be like them, else you’ll be labelled tribal or satanic. We want REAL CHANGE AND NOT COSMETIC. VIVA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  117. its again MMD to reign for the next five years.how do u expect MMD to lose elections with the divided opposition?niuzenkoni pipo.Sata and HH are a let down to the pipo of zambia.they should tell us obviously they are paid huge sums of money by the MMD pantu takwaba fileumfwisha necifukushi.

  118. #138 on the contrary alot of people are happy that HH has left the pact. Its only the pf who are not happy. Its a lie that alot of people are against HH’s decision. Viva HH.

  119. #148 I like you reasoning, these Kaponyas think there is magic to success. If you succeed in the private sector where everyone is chosen on merit, it means you are of substance. People like HH use their brain wherever they touch success is seen and am sure even to be a president he can make a successful leader. You can Imagine being a board chairman for 21 top international and local companies in Zambia. The best we can do is connect ourselves to him so that we can learn his ways, capwa.

  120. Did not read the story. the guilty are alwaz afred, why is it that only the UPND is tryn to come out clean that they did nothing wrong for the break up of the pact & busy saying rubbish things about the PF but ve not head the PF do so?

  121. I hear PF has not started copy and paste of UPND manifesto. I hear they want to promote free education like what UPND has been advocating all along. They have now realised that education is very important seeing that Sata lacks it and was almost barred for not possessing a degree.Now the difference is this; UPND has been consistent and they know where the money to fund free education will come from but for PF it is another slogan of more money in you pocket. VIVA UPND VIVA HH.

  122. listen plesase……ZAMBIA!!!!!respond by saying FORWARD!!!!Pabwato no no no we dont need a boat,its outdated and its leader plus followers need diagonising their brain connctions they are disabled in thinking

  123. PF was using the PACT to try and copy UPND manifesto. Then HH realised that the chaps did not have the capacity to come up with a paper of their own hence he distance himself. In trying to copy the manifesto SATA failed to copy properly. Instead of coping a sentence in the UPND manifesto which reads and i quote; “UPND will pursue a mixed economy and not monoculture economy”.end of quote.
    Sata thought UPND was talking about homosexual so he ended up editing monoeconomy to Homosexual. Now since UPND does not support Homosexual, SATA is now disappointed that he copied wrongly. VIVA UPND VIVA HH. Abash political insanity from advocates of homesexuality (SATA) abash.

  124. I SAID IT NO PACT CAN WORK BECAUSE SELFISH PIPO LIKE SATA,THIS FOOL WANTS TO RIDE ON OTHERS ,MR SATA SIR YOU WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA AND YOU WILL NOT BE CLOSER TO THE WINNER OF THIS YEARS ELECTION SHAME YOU UGLY MAN.

  125. MY FRIEND EASY DOES IT IS RIGHT, DONT COPY WAT YOU DONT KNOW YOU MAY END UP INSULTING INSTEAD OF CONSULTING

  126. HH can hang with his light weight… he’ll forever be third and finally get kicked out by his own UPND so called “Intellectuals”. lol

  127. Elo uyu muku, ba HH baka lusa BIG TIME!!! The last two losses were even better… then people like Chizyuka will start singing about his departure!!!

  128. I agree with HH when he says blaming the UPND for the demise of the Pact is a mere public relations tool. Well at least as far as I have been following events before the demise. What amazes me though is how so many people seem to fall for this same public relations tool. It seems to be waking quite well. Guess its not only Chiluba who is good at duping people!! Sata the other day was saying the Pact is alive but tells UPND to contest all parliamentary seats. The biggest problem of the pact was one party thinking its the big brother therefore the other must dance to its tune. Any relationship where one party thinks they are boss will cramble unless they have the power to exercise their authority on those they want to be their juniors

  129. Most of you pipo are dull chaps, do u really think PF can beat MMD…….shallow minded chaps. Kwasila MMD has already won…..PF was even more popular the last time we voted than now….analyze with neutral heads……Sata has been more popular than now but how did he not win? it is finished…..i hereby join the winning party…..We win again viva RB!

  130. No. 80 Muyangana, i like the way you put your intelligent arguments across. They are sensible, well articulated and objective. I totally agree with you. No. 83 is spot on, and it serves to remind those who might not know or recall those deeds, so tha it leaves food for thought to Zambians as we go to the polls this year.

  131. Oh,and No. 80 Muyangana. when i said “i totally agree with you. No. 83 is spot on, I actually meant No. 85, that is No. 85 is truly spot on. My mistake.

  132. Let us contribute positively to this important issue .Mine is please Col panji put up a website and give us the emails for all the prominent people in diaspora so that we can hear their side on this important issue .People we need to change the leadership this yearso that our children and children s childrens can in future and point at something our forefathers did.Col panji please get in touch with Professor chilwa and put up a break away UPND strike a fresh pact with PF .And council christopher kangombe well done and keep doing it ,we much need people like you to forge change taem with col panji and go to all provinces to spearhead the united opposition.

  133. It seems HH has very bad and selfish advisors.You cannot climb a treet from the leaves!!You desire to be president should start from the bottom.Your advisors seem to think Zambian are so docile like Chiluba said.No bwana we are now awake from a long slumber that the MMD has put us through.

    Dont judge your popularity in Southern Province only go to other provinces and you will realise who you are and where you are in Zambian politics.You needed to learn fron the seniors before making decisions.If you are not careful this might be the begging of an end to your political career!The MMD has outlived its life span and usefulness,they have expired!!! VIVA ,Zambia,VIVA the People’s Force (PF).

  134. the pf *****s are just as frustrated as ever. they thought HH would be duped by succuming to the pact nosense; they must be reminded that he is too genius for such stupidity. pf remain in slumber thinking that you can win an election with your disgruntled Sata; how provinces apart from the tribal bemba land will vote for Sata. We know the fact is hard to accept: you wished you could dribble HH and use him as a scapegoat for your selfish gain.

    Viva HHHHH n and abash *****s!

  135. The pact is not about Sata and Hh.Its the people who want change. We should ONLY vote for Pf and Upnd NOT mmd in these elections.Its the only way to liberate ourselves from these plunderers mmd.The one with more votes will be president, so stop crying about the pact.The pact is you,yourself and not HH or Sata please.Vote for Pf and Upnd only to teach William Banda a lesson.

  136. Travel safe man to your constituency in Kalomo:
    You have been brain washed.
    Please is this how low can you go in your thinking?
    I thought u were wise but you a woman
    Your action shows what happened to Adm when was asked:
    God: Adam where are you?
    Adam: I,am naked
    Now think was the connection.
    You are the wrong perso to lead UPND.
    The party that was formed on good ground

    “Mr Hichilema said his party will not reconcile with the PF over the Pact because the PF’s intensions of forming the Pact were not genuine.”
