This is a breath of fresh air in the Kabimba saga. I hope someone from Lusaka wont send vigilantes to strip these officials naked like the katete incident. This is how it should be. Unity in diversity and diversity in unity!
My worry is that the division and bad blood between the 2 camps cannot be washed off like just like that. As long as there is no one victorious amd no one vanquished the strife shall be carried right into 2016 and the results shall be disastrous for our party. This fight must be concluded now with a clear winner. Just imagine what would happen with Kabimba receiving applications for 2016 elections from MPs and Councillors who had called for his removal. And knowing Kabimba as we all do then the problem shall resurface with him behaving like a god and another massive maybe evn bigger rebellion shall arise and it will be too late to solve. Anyway we can only wish Kabimba and the party well .We also have a lot of confidence in the decision making ability of HEMCS and truly pray for the best.
I doubt the authenticity of such un-researched claims from some “PF Officials” in Kawambwa. It is important to understand the genesis of the process that led to the origin and popularity of the PF.
Apparently, the PF has succeeded into breeding a fleet of moles that have embedded themselves into the PF structure which is being decomposed to soil rubble by some mutated termites.
He thinks he would finish off PF the way he finished Nashala neka party. Him and masebo. This boy has arrogance running in his bloodstream. From head to toe he is arrogant.
If you are dealing with people from a certain Zambian ethnic group you need to be arrogant otherwise they will walk all over you.
Well Luapula Province is one province where Mozoka made strides in and they think more liberally then our Bemba neighbours who start with the stomach. Watch the Elections it will be shocking.
@Pushi Power, you can’t just resist always trying to punch the bembas below the belt all the time! Does it mean the even tongas think with their cows in the head? Learn to respect freedom of expression by every Zambia because you are the same people that call these people from luapula bembas when they support the government. You can always play double standards my friend.
Mean’t can’t always play double standards.
PF we need you to get organized and get to organized and well planned work.We realized we are stuck with until 2016, so show willinesa to work.
Send Kabimba into the foreign service,and calm down issues,he has double crossed the old man by pretending to be working hard yet building his political agenda.
Even if Kabimba survives as PF SG. His chances of ascending to Presidency have been severely impaired. He/his supporters were too impatient & came out too early and lack of amano yachifyalilwa has been his undoing. Worse his heavy reliance on Fred Mmembe’s Post is double edged sword from which he should have learnt from how MCS popularity has suffered from undecided voters (that voted for PF in 2011). The DBZ loan saga won’t go away & any successive Presidents with positive coverage from The Post will seen to be protecting/under the influence of Fred. With hindsight it was pretty reckless for Fred and Nchito to go into airline business & borrow DBZ money on the back of improved relations with late LPM. Now they are in a fix & they will take whoever the supports with them down the drain.
CONTINUED; Kabimba’s nemesis GBM also still has a lesson to learn in 21st centuary Zambia. That is DONT MIX POLITICS WITH BUSINESS. There only two mutually exclusive outcomes
1. You get screwed out of your money and govt squeezes you out of business
2. You get the power use it to get rich/ business and end up like FTJ or RB. Court cases and depression.
GBM’s late mother may not have seen all this drama, so such advice was obviusly not put across to budding tenderprenuer
WONDERS SHALL NEVER END!
I am waiting to see what will happen to the likes of Anthony Mukwita who got over excited and and started taking sides.
Kabimba is not a problem.The president sure cant even solve this small problem what a president we have in zambia.Every day Kabimba, kabimba, Kabimba, kabimba and president is there just sitting and watching kabimba making noise ati ba president atase.What went wrong with voting PF. 2016 i will go for UPND i think HH cant do that. Just watch Kabimba talking and people are saying remove kabimba. I think kabimba knows some thing big.HH posaka amano this is your chance sata nafilwa namona
How can Kawambwa District support the man how has never visited them or addressed them as SG. Stage maning support will not help him. He must just step down.
