PF Media and Publicity Director Chanda Mfula has said that PF will wait for formal communication from Mr. Daniel Munkombwe’s offer to assist the ruling party in its campaign in the Livingstone by-elections.

Speaking to ZANIS in an interview in Lusaka today that Mr Mfula said that PF will for now take this as mere reports.

“PF will take that as mere reports for now. We shall wait to hear from the horse’s mouth,” he said.

The Livingstone parliamentary seat fell vacant after Member of Parliament Reverend Howard Sikwela from United Party for National Development (UPND)

The by-election will take place on the 28th February 2013.

And Mr Mfula has refuted allegations that the party was asking opposition political party members facing charges to join the ruling party so that charges can be dropped.

Mr Mfula noted that the ruling party has better things to do than going round persuading opposition political party members to join it.

he said this in reaction to claims by former Works and Supply Minister Mike Mulongoti who said the ruling party was threatening opposition political party members facing corruption charges to join the ruling party or risk facing the law.

He said it was unfair for Mr. Mulongoti to attract attention by accusing the PF of things the ruling party has not been doing, adding that Mr. Mulongoti was not concerned about the nation but about himself..

“Mr. Mulongoti just wants us to be reacting to whatever he says. But this is not in order,” Mr. Mfula said.

He also noted that the former cabinet minister wanted the ruling party to offer him employment.

“He expected the PF to reward him with a job for being expelled from MMD,” he said.

  1. munkombwe will make you lose..watch the space..get him at your own peril..we hate him there for lack of morals..!UPND will get that seat again…….

  2. Munkombwe has learnt ‘donchi kubeba’ tricks at very late stage in his life.

    How much do you reckon he is pocketing if PF fall for it?

  3. Hey Munkombwe knows how to fool fools. He just stands as tho he can to benefit himself. That one he confesses it himself. He is a donch kubeba type.

  4. Daniel Munkombwe is a seasoned politician. He knows a lot and in fact he has massive political wisdom. All his life, his long life so far, can tell you young folks that he knows a lot and trully so. He may not stand for any post in any party but he can contribute to any party’s strategies and tactics. He deserves to live a respectable life as a senior citizen. Whichever party he chooses to support that party will benefit from his political wisdom. Ignore such people at your own …

  5. Mudaala naiwe uchita sebana wikute!just like VJ.he didnt make good investment.the old man is broke.bad example to the young tongas.shame on u

  6. Mukombwe is trying to push for his prostitute ka Gladys straight buttocks Kristafor for adoption. Nifikandile fintu fwabo

  7. Though I don’t hold Mulongoti in high esteem, I can concur with his sentiments regarding PF manouvres to target jail-bound hungry MPs. Mfula don’t deny the obvious. Some of these characters are close to us and have confided in some of us, all in the name of consulting.

  8. Munkombwe is hungry again! At his age shouldn’t he be retired and resting? Professional Politics of the belly specialist. This professional degree course can only be obtained by Munkombwe. The last time I checked he already had 5 under his wings. He is vying for a record 6th, a useless achievement by any standard of measure.

  9. I have a problem understating the meaning of retirement in Zambian politics.Not too long ago,Munkombwe announced his “retirement” from politics,now he is offering to “help” PF.How is he going to “help” without taking part in the campaign which is a political adventure?

  10. PF Media and Publicity Director Chanda Mfula barking like a dangerous dog protecting their corruption and Satanic Roman Catholicism in Zambia. Chanda Mfula has lost all his self esteem and respect like a sugar cane which has been dried and crushed and thrown on faeces.

    chanda Mfula supports Sata as he he is related to Sata and because Sata is promoting satanism in Zambia which Mfula has practiced

    Sata is the face of a devil. For goodness sake, which normal man in their normal senses can support former Registrar of Society Andeleki for politics?

    I miss the man who finished Muhama Khadafi of Libya, he was just so fearless. God will give us man like him in Zambia to free us from these devils who are practicing their evils publicly even in the court of law trying to instil fear in…

  11. At his age Mr. Munkombwe should use his meager financial resouces to develop his farm. The Late Harry Nkumbula must be turning agonizingly in his grave as he notices the manner in which Munkombwe is facilitating PF to harass HH and the peoples of Southern Province and the rest of the country. Nkumbula’s ANC had a countrywide support which HH is trying to revive for the good of this country.

  12. Ba PF are you so desperate as to rely on Mukombwe in the by-election. Be careful PF coz the way you are trying to run things will land you in trouble. Mr. Munkombwe plaese you are done go back to your farm and develop. its too late for you to engage in politics and start being insulted. We need your blessings now and advise not active politics.

  13. CHANDA MFULA u are another fool in PF, how do you give blind eye to reality that all the dirty corrupt POLITICIANS have joined PF just for protection from prosecution and you know all these pipo the recent one is NAMULAMBE since when was he acquitted on the theft of 10 bicycles which was bought by public funds? but you PF chaps are going ahead and adopt him as a candidate in Mpongwe, now if he gets convicted bcoz that case has a lot of evidence he stole those bicycles, what will happen again we will go back to another by-elections, IWE CHI CHIFULA is this normal way of doing things? another ONE is Masebo she has a case of TUKATENGA MALILO vehicles which she bought inflated figures from 9,000 dollars to 29,000 But imwe ba PF u have sat on the case, now she has this issue of ZAWA

  14. You could definitely see your expertise within the paintings you write. The arena hopes for even more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to say how they believe. At all times follow your heart.

  15. The big man has wisdom and let the PF get him for the Livingstone campaigning team………Long live Mr. Munkombwe, all the best

  16. Those complaining of Sata being a tribalist makes me wonder or I tend to doubt their IQ. What I will explain is like 1+1=2. If Sata says that he wants to include Tongas or lozis in his Government, you same tongas refuse to accepts such jobs. A tonga has joined the government and you shamelessly suspend him. What do you want Sata to do? If he appoints Bembas you complain that he is appointing bembas only. The simple reason why Tongas with an exception of a few humble ones is that they don’t want to be ruled by a bemba. Simple. Prideness. The simple reason why there maybe a more bembas in the government is because thats where he got more votes from and hence, he has the mandate to choose ministers from where he won the elections as PF because Tongas or some sections of Lozis don’t want to…

  17. Mind you I don’t hate any human being but i hate the behaviour. Can someone educate me; How many bembas or even Easterners are in UPND? 95% of non tongas have run away from UPND. Why? Food for thought.
