Defence Minister and PF Kasama Member of parliament Geoffrey Mwamba has said there is a clique of senior Patriotic Front (PF) party members who are against President Michael Sata to stand for presidency in 2016.

Mr Mwamba said the clique had already started positioning itself for the position of president and the same people wanted to derail President Michael Sata’s plans to continue ruling and developing the nation.

Mr Mwamba threatened to expose those in the clique saying they knew themselves and if they continued with their opposing views and left unchecked, they could cause unnecessary divisions in the PF.

He said it was an open secret that some senior party officials were positioning themselves for the 2016 presidency, a situation which was disturbing to Mr Sata.

Mr Mwamba also said that there were many people in PF who he described as riffraffs, but he refused to name for fear of causing divisions, hate and confusion in the party.

“Well, there are many riffrafs in our party but I will for now not mention any. However, the moment you see them getting concerned about my endorsement for the 2016 presidency, then just know that they are the ones,” Mr Mwamba said.

Lately Mr Mwamba ha s been touring provinces anouncing that President Sata will be the Presidential candiate on the PF ticket in 2016.

  1. PF is a house divided hence all the problems in the country. There can only be one president at a time and the rest of you get with the program and work with him.

    • In the picture above, Chama’s left arm is pressed against her body at an awkward angle. She lost full use of that arm after one of GBM’s beatings.

    • @Nubian ….. She looks happy to me. Are you Bembas not the ones who tell us that wife beating is another way of expressing love for your spouse.

    • I JUST LIKE THE WAY GBM DISORGANISES MMBEMBE,NICHITO AND KABIMBA’S PLANS.THESE THUG I REALLY DON’T LIKE THEM.THEY CAN NOT BE VOTED BY ANYONE.IF YOU TAKE THE PIPO WHO REALLY STOOD FOR SATA,GBM IS ONE OF THEM.ACTION MAN KAMBWILI IS ANOTHER ONE……GO ON GBM EXPOSE THEM

    • There’s definitely more trouble in the PF than is reported about, and most of it is a clear result of Sata’s unsuitability for presidential office. This man is only the calibre of politician that can work under the supervision of better and sober ones as he did under KK and FTJ. Both the country and he himself have realized it was wrong to get him into state house and that the job is more complicated than he saw it from the outside. Greed, arrogance and hunger for power is all there is in PF, and GBM is very much part of the scheme he’s castigating others for. Let’s just face it – Sata just can’t do two terms, unless we want him to work from a wheelchair … Really sad but so true…..

    • @My Nubian, bamulamu Bana GBM looks just sexy, in fact she was just protecting pa mutoto, you know you respectable ladies even in jeans when siting you tend to put hand ku bokosi!!
      I admire Ba M’lamu bana GBM, but mudala never leave her loose even a single day.

    • You are the imposter. I am the real Notradamus. Move over. I can make better contributions than you. You hardly make sense. Someone said you were addicted to blogging. It is time for you to take a hike. Bye.

    • @ Notradamus(es),
      Hey, who is the real Notradamus? The fake one please, get another name, it is respectable that way. Be respectable and not an impostor.

    • GBM has the best intentions of PF!! He can see vultures waiting for a sick prey to die,,, in this case vulture waiting for poor Sata the mwachusa to die. if did die, i will dearly miss him personally because i will have no one to criticise

    • Saulosi, I learned that you were a lecturer. If it is true, you should not be teaching. You are a waste of time. Your comments leave a lot to be desired.

    • Who is this imposter from Cananda. I will cross border kesa kuponona, you are lucky my Grandfather died he could have sent you akalumba. Ulinkulungwe…
      Ask Kabimba how is feeling this week, don’t mess with me.

    • If you thought there is war in the PF, think again because real war is between the Nostradamus in the USA and the other in ‘Cananda’

    • My money is on the US Nostradamus. The archives from March (too lazy to check further back) show a US flag for Nostradamus.

  2. But there are not the only ones who do not want Sata. The majority can not have a president who just stay in the state house without saying any thing. look at any presidents worldwide.

  3. never show ur weaknesses too early ba pf us zambians r still very patient coz 2016 is still far o ‘ve u failed us already?

  4. wow!!!!…so the Zambian watch imbwa has been right all this time… i better be reading more and more of their news,, its seems they have hidden cameras into PF “ hearts“ to know what they(PF) think and feel.. Inside data ..ka!!!

  5. Riffraffs !! I have always thought PF is full of them. Nice to see that he has also noticed , BUT DE SAME CATEGORY!!!

  6. I can smell a rat. There is something PF are not telling us. What is more surprising is that the president is just silent about it as if nothing is happening. This rifraf talk is rather strange. There is certainly “some movements in the mulberry trees” as they say. Why are PF suddenly in a hurry to fast-forward 2016? This endorsing talk is baffling ba GBM!!

  7. these guyz are right by starting tizing each other all what there is that they don’t know what 2016 holds for them .

  8. ironicaly,gbm has just informed the nation that sata is sick and he wil be the centre of atraction at BY’s burial if he atends.if he doesnt atend,this wil stl means something.gbm is also afraid of winter and mmembe.

    • or maybe the president is ailingly sick or ailingly ill… without a doubt GBM has let the secret out of the bag… Sata can go upto 10 yrs and this is not even half of his first 5years in office. People are at each other`s necks..why???.

  9. It is sad! Well i would like 2 know that crique or de rifrafs. lnstead of working to fullfill yo promises u begin 2 tok about 2016. lf really there are those doing that den dey must b beasts.lf deren’t den Mwamba u are de one.Baputuleni imichila!

  10. Mwamba for president come 2016.
    Provided and as long as is a TRUE Bemba, I support.
    It will be good to have a Bemba President for the first time in Zambia.
    I am sure Lozis and Tongas are in support of him because of their ….. memory.

  11. this is what financ ministr means wen he says some ministers are spending more time politiking instead of focusing on developmentl work.surely zambians are’nt yet ready for this 2016 chaff coz it ll only divert atention from more serious issues.pliz spare our breath

  12. Tata ba Sata if yo health is not well kufileka fye. After all working togather we removed mmd from power-GREAT ACHIEVEMENT. Tho my worry is do we have the one in pf who will curry on with the developmental pjts?ls corruption going to b fought?SAD !

  13. How could Ministry of Commerce accept such donation from Zambeef and what message does this send to errant corporates?

    Govt earlier accepted a fund raising pledge from one Mr. Rathi who had been indicted in a corruption offence. Only pressure made govt decline the donation.

    Zambeef and Dr. Mwanza our former vice chancellor at unza and bank of zambia governor knew since zambeef was established that they have been feeding us on beef tainted with mortuary chemicals but have gone ahead operating as this things are as they were…

    Is this why Zambeef staff dont eat their own beef.

  14. What is wrong with GBM? Is he okay? Somebody please stop him, the cigaratte he is smoking is confusing him.. He is Minister of Defence for goodness sake, Please GBM behave, your behaviour does not befit your position. Even if someone wants to be president, so what? Why don’t you deal with such things quietly using PF internal procedures. We are tired of listening to things that mean nothing for food on people’s tables right now. You are the only one talking loudly alone. I think President Sata should be suspicious of you….you are the one who is campaigning against him because you are actually the one who wants to take over. Be mature, you are on government. If you have nothing to do, how about going for training with your soldiers!

  15. I jst dont seem to understand why GBM is vocal abt the issue of succession.
    In my on words i think the old man has done his best 4 mother zambia.He has shown the new generation how to excute national duties honestly and delligently.
    The tym 4 hero worshiping is long gone.By 2016 we nid the young and the restless to take over.

  16. Awe apapena ba ‘Chi bi emu’ mwaluba. lndeed one may become suspecious of u. let that crique continue with their manouvers. Time will expose them. We need work and not this one. Can u go round the country with yo soldiers & working please!

  17. there is no opposition in zambia. so wether sata or GBM the fact is that tonga goat HH and mumba cant be presido.

  18. Am loving this, entertainment free of charge. I might as well end my cable subscription and stay tuned to Zed news!!

  19. Ichikupempula echikulwa…, i dont trust any of them, anyways power is sweet who on earth wouldnt want to be president? Ironically it’s the worst job ever,most stressfull, dangerous,no insurance of any kind in any way, (you could be dead anytime compliments your body guard)
    Every jim and jack has the right to insult you and all you are expected of is to be supper human, turn the economy around within a blink of an eye, create miracles without fail, never get sick, never joke in public or you might be misunderstood termed for a retard, your family must be pure in all their endeavous, oh… and aparently everyone knows better than you, when it’s all rosy you are the best guy ever , turn the table around, you become a fool overnight, what a responsibility, what a job!

    • But mwandi zoona!!.. one is working with people, loving them, drinking and eating with them… believing that they are his true friends and relations
      But the same people he is doing favours are watching the way he is breathing expecting him to die so they take over his job, his wife,, maybe even his underwears,,,
      People are bad!!! imagine Zambia without Sata it wil boring,, no one to make people laugh at press briefings!!!

  20. Does GMB think properly? Is this the best way of endearing himself to the president? Is Sata’s 2016 candidency an issue so early in his first term really? This just shows GBM has no agenda in his ministerial portfolio

  21. Can you bloggers open your eyes for once! Why did vocal supporters (Fr Bwalya, Mulongoti, Mpombo, etc) leave the party and start their own? Why is Lubinda silently watching? They saw that the party is fast losing popularity and its life president is expiring. They have ambitions and cant achieve them from within with all the cutthroat desparate rogues in top offices. Something is definitely wrong. These desparate rifraf are best left to chew eachother. Just keep watching this space.

  22. There’s no clique, Fat Albert.
    It’s you that has presidential aspirations.

  23. Nubian stop salivatng fr 2016 pols.Erections re not easily won ask third distant earner He Has expreince.He Has bn loosng by far margins since came politcal arena.He Has no hop fr presidence al He His doing to uncover shame on Him Hself.Mind the Lters H to to yr chap.Acepa Humwaice Hapenga.

  24. GBM lacks basic thinking and i always wonder how he made his money. GBM has just exposed PF failure to govern itself and has pressed a in self destruction mode button giving HH upperhand.

  25. This is an area were MMD is unique and attractive. It has never been led by an individual who is totally dominant or who would claim ownership of the party hence the relatively easy changes in leadership that we have seen. The same can’t be said about UNIP or PF or UPND or NAREP or ADD or PPP or ABZ etc etc

  26. It appears “the Gloves are now off” Iyi ni real ndewo. This is where the Real Gunduzani Mwale- separating the Men from the Boy’s will prevail, after bloodied noses & broken bones. Grandstand ticket please!!

  27. When ZWD publishes stories that PF ministers are campaigning to succeed MCS someone in Govt. stands up and says these are lies. Today a Senior Mr. stands up and campaigns in broad day light some PF ministers have no clue that GBM is campaigning for PF Presidency. We need a crop of politicians who understand issues a bit deeper than they do at the moment.

  28. This GBM is really a dull rich man. He mean to tell me that he really think he can convince any one that his so called indocements is genuin. If anything he is in a fast lane to of endosing himself in the name of Sata. He knows one thing for sure that he has nothing to talk about himself and want to be seen siding with the president when infact not, the art he lent in busness when U want more money from your customer don’t let them fill they are spending 2much but make sure they spend all.

  29. Ba mudala mwampapusha. U hav a job 2do, go and castrate aba lozi ku barotse and not that nonsense u are utter’ng. I respkt u in bzness and not in politks so impress me by Firing on Lozi chaps 4da sake of unity…… Muleba shuta pamatako!!

  30. another fiffraff is at zamtel appointed to head that company yet does nothing. Celz network has become the most useless network on earth since the appointment of that riffraff. We should ve left rapgreen to run the company. after 18hrs u ll be luck to get connected.

  31. The calibre of some of our Ministers leaves much to be desired. The man is just hallucinating. He is parroting like a bird in summer!!!!

  32. “Its an open secret….” If indeed its an open secret, then reveal the names man! Otherwise you are unnecessarily upping the anxiety and tension in the country.

    “The house divided against itself cannot stand…..” If there are still doubters that the die has been cast on who to succeed Sata, then they are still in dream land. There is a bitter fight going on and unfortunately it will sooner or later affect the security of the nation.

    But here is the hard fact for GBM, Kabimba and so on, u are flogging a dead horse. After Sata is gone via retirement or otherwise, PF cannot win the Presidency and the Legislature. Take it or leave it!

  33. If I joined a political party I am joining because I feel that I have leadership material in me. Why would you what to join a party which thinks you are wrong to want to be its leader. Only pa zed. Mr Sata is not PF he is just the current leader if people feel they can a better job let them stand its a democracy not a dictatorship

    • Are you sure Sata is not PF? The had truth is that PF is Sata and Sata is PF. When Sata is no more via retirement or God forebid otherwise, that will be the end of PF. Wait and prove me wrong.

  34. This time around ton.gan will work with nyanja to block bemban from ruling ever again “twapenga loko”twacula pafula.

  35. @blackbelt,how can u call HH a tonga goat? This is bad tribalism,tongas are second largest tribe in zambia and u 2ll us goats,Wachihoomena cidada!

  36. The whole Wowdee, ku Zimbabwe konse kuja iyi khani inafika. AKambeba na Nchito anofuna ku gulisa manzi yonse ya mu chalo chatu muno mu Zambiyah! selfish men. GBM azku sokomolani ngati ba Mailoni brothers.

  37. All the OLD relics, fossils and past dictators since last night have been landing in Harare for TODAYS Inauguration of His majesty Robert Gabriel Mugabe.

    Sata is NOWHERE to be seen in Harare. To Support someone he has been acting as a VUVUZELA for.

    Bane SATA is very SICK. He has failed to even attend Mugabe’s Inauguration.

    This is SERIOUS. Ba tata Ba SATA step aside and let an energetic leader take OVER within PF.

  38. The feud between GBM and Kabimba camp has restarted with GBM trying an preemptive attack. This time around, it appears GBM is well prepared and a bit more strategized than last time. Good luck GBM.

  39. ITS VERY CLEAR TO SEE THAT MMEMBE IS ON A PROJECT TO INSTALL WINTER AS PRESIDENT IN CASE SATA STEPS DOWN, THE POST POTRAYS WINTER AS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, THE POST DO NOT LIKE THOSE NEAR SATA WHO THEY ARE NOT IN GOOD BOOTS WITH; GBM AND LUBUNDA. WINTER AND MMEMBE HAD LUBINDA DROPPED BUT FAILED ON GBM…. MY ADVISE TO THE PRESIDENT IS THAT YOUR LIFE IS SAFER WITH GBM AS DEFENCE MINISTER…..GBM MAY NOT BE THE BEST GUY AT HANDLING ISSUES PUBLICLY BUT HE HAS A POINT ON THIS ONE. THE POST IS SILENTLY CAMPAINING FOR WINTER AND THIS IS VERY CLEAR TO SEE, THE POST IS USING SOUND BUT DECEPTIVE APPROACH, SO WATCH OUT MR. SATA.

  40. Its interesting. when one says this container is full of rubbish, he means everything in it is rubbish. So PF being full of riffraff means even the one saying is one of them. He wants to portray as though he is protecting something, when he is campaigning for himself. Remember the third term issue of FTJ?, who among MMD was talkative? King Cobra, he thought FTJ will say “aah Cobra u like me so i will let u stand as presida” the truth is PF is burring itself deeper and deeper with all these rhetoric. The citizens all over Zambia are talking ill against PF. Unless PF goes the Zim zanupf way other wise no vote in the nxt tripartite elections.

  41. Mr Sata should not underestimate this crisis in his PF otherwise his downfall is nearer than he thinks. He should fire all those talking about succession and endorsement.

  42. PF only know elections that is why they have started for 2016. They have failed to deliver. 2016 is far away can PF please focus on running the country.

  43. It is only sad Sata has become President at a time when his health is failing him which unfortunately is being celebrated by his own inner circles who are wishing him dead so that they take over. This is very sad development. But it is important to realize that though some people may be sickly whilst others strong in health, no one is certain what tomorrow will bring.

    David was anointed by God to take over from Saul but David never wished Saul death but instead waited for his time to come. Just take it easy GBM and your rivals. Moreover, we may not be certain if PF will continue in power after Sata. Who knows, the unexpected may just be expected. Though Mwanawasa just took over from Chiluba, this may not always be the case as Sata showed. Anyway only time will tell. Long live Sata

  44. This chi kasaka kaunga man (GBM) is sick in the head. Does he know what messages he is sending to the Zambian people about his uncle Sata.

    (1) If you start spending time talking about Sata’s health, you are telling the Zambian people that the man is unwell.

    (2) The Zambian people are waiting to see what development PF will deliver for the first 5 years.

    (3) What are you campaining about? What are you telling the Zambian people to vote for Sata? What has he done for you to start campaining for him.

    (4) But this chima GBM is very dull. Does it think that when it is fat and it has a lot of money then the people of zambia will listern to it. Ver dull fat chap and please SHUT UP.

  45. I think that this time the bemba’s SHOULD find a better candidate than GBM surely !
    may be frank bwalya , may be kambwili …..
