PATRIOTIC Front (PF) national youth Chairperson Chishimba Kambwili has warned youths against fanning confusions at this year’s Independence Day celebrations in Kitwe.

And Mr Kambwili has urged youths to pay their allegiance to the President and the party structures and not individuals.

He was speaking when he held a meeting with youths from constituencies at the Kitwe Little theatre yesterday where he was flanked by Copperbelt Minster Mwenya Musenge and Kitwe district PF chairperson Allan Mwewa.

Mr Kambwili, who is also Youth and Sports said President Michael Sata had received information that youths in Kitwe were intending to disrupt this year’s Independence Day celebrations.

He said reports indicated that there were two factions with one being in support of PF Secretary General Wynter Kabimba while the other being against the Head of State.

Mr Kambwili said the party had no factions and that all members belonged to the PF and that the Secretary General’s issue was being handled by the President.

He said the Independence Day celebrations were a national event and confusions should not be entertained.

“Let us be honest with what we do and avoid dark corner meetings. Anyone fanning confusions will be expelled from the party. Don’t pay allegiance to individuals you will destroy the party, in politics if you are not careful you will lose direction and if you want to belong to a political party, believe in the President and the party structures,” he said.

Mr Kambwili said confusions had the ability to break the party and therefore all members should safeguard the interest of the party and promote unity.

He said the strength of the party was in the youths who had the energy to organize the party.

Government had a programme of developing the country and that the two years the party had been in power it had constructed over 1,500 kilometers of new roads.

Mr Kambwili said the party had also embarked on creating power generation projects to end load shedding in the country.

President Sata is expected to grace the Independence Day celebrations at Kitwe Playing Field (KPF) today.

  1. kambwili no wonder people call you one of the dullest ministers. the whole speech is full of contradictions. you say dont pay allegiance to an individual akanwa kamokene says pay allegiance to the president. grade sevens running national affairs, that is why we are not developing. basata nnabo, he has unknown qualifications yaaba this co;country, awe mwe

    • Kambwili, high on cholesterol and low on brains…. with an IQ of 69

      Other than seriously looking like a beached whale that might earn a few dollars for the country, you do not inspire anyone generally and youths in particular.

    • Is that being dull bamatipa when somebody advises against anarchy? So, to you the opposite is being clever? Eimwe mwakwata interest mu finfulunganya? You are very dull yourself matika, if cant even guess what happen out of faction anarchy.

    • Don’t insult leadership tell us what you have achieved your self its you who is a failure.Mind you the Hon Minister was the Headboy in Luanshya mind you in those days when whites were Headmasters only the intelligent lads were picked as Head boys.

    • Am I the only one who thinks the following is messed up?
      1. Mr. Kambwili said President Michael Sata had received information that youths in Kitwe were intending to disrupt this year’s Independence Day celebrations.
      2. He said reports indicated that there were TWO FACTIONS with one being in support of PF Secretary General Wynter Kabimba while the other being against the Head of State.
      3. Mr Kambwili said the party had NO FACTIONS and that all members belonged to the PF and that the Secretary General’s issue was being handled by the President.

      Firstly, is the President receiving fake info?
      Secondly, those in support of Kabimba are the same ones against the President.
      Thirdly, if the intelligence reports says there are two factions, why does Kambimba say there are no factions?

  2. with donchi kubeba and SATAn as the chief of confusion,its posible that sata and kambwili could engineer the demonstrations.why has SATAn decided to go to kitwe for uhuru celebration?is it a coincidence that demos held where sata is?why only kitwe and not other towns?why did kambwili hold meetings with kitwe pf oficials of which we know that there are all against kabimba since they are all bembas?in kambwili’s speech,you can hear kambwili atacking wynter though by trying to be politicaly correct.i feel sata is in a room without windows so he is trying to use any opening to get out like a caged mouse.

    • @Ganga …At least kabwilii has no hidden agenda like your comrade Kabwamba.The presidents silence is only aggravating the situation it’s not tribe it’s kabwamba’s conduct that needs correction,wake up !!!

  3. How do you know that the only reason for planned demos is Kabimba’s issue? Do not hide behind the reality, just address those youths and answer they main issue of addressing what was promised to them. They have not forgotten, about the promises made to them remember….

  4. Its uhuru day and not PF day or Sata day so those agitators are right in protesting the disrespect and dishonour shown to our nationhood and our independence heroes.

  5. “in politics if you are not careful you will bring direnction,if you belong to to a political part belief in a president”.said mr kabwili us for me i call this us civic education or”amafunde”.

    • You are better off using vernacular. Surely, how can someone misquote even reported speech? Lets not just attack bad reading culture, this is pure laziness.

  6. ba kambwili, he is a cadre programmed to support, even after prepping for that to say,,the man’s embedded cadre insticts kicked in and said ‘pay allegiance to michael sata’, just after saying dont dont pay allegiance to individuals, isnt sata an individual?,…cadre insticts in play. programmed to support.

    • The minister was very clear jay jay,he meant allegiance should be to the president and not other individuals like GmB or Kabwamba.Lets be objective he means well..The president’s silence is not helping with Kabwamba’s issue in the party hence the threatening clarification by kabwili..

  7. Just trying to pick pipo’s minds.Kambwili is minister of youth and sport.He is definetly not a youth and he does not look like a sportsman.From his appearance which ministry would he fit in
    [a]Minister of agriculture since he looks like a pig.
    [b]minister of tourism since he looks like a pig
    [c]minister of health since he is malnourished

  8. Something is VERY wrong in our so called leadership. LET THE YOUTHS say their mind. You only want YES BWANAS only. SHAME.

  9. The serpent shud stop hiding; let him face the youth he lied to. He used them like a condom.

  10. Permalink u a big fool if u don’t know Chishimba try to reach his back ground don’t just say things u don’t know

  11. Kambwili should not be behaving as if he protects the President. He is just a minister. Let politics of tolerance grow. encourage those that want to protest, demonstrate and even shout to seek attention of the president, while forwarding their afflictions, micro/macro political/economical. it should not be upto a minister for Zambians to seek attention of the Head of State. Let people demonstrate. Your simple advice should be seeking peaceful means of attention seeking. the more you seem adamant and arrogant to people’s wishes, pray that they dont catch you, you may even make HE look like a puppet of his own ministers. Stop protecting the president in that manner, it is neither your duty or call. There are people assigned to protect the head of state, they will do their duty. with love

  12. I think its time to respect People in Leadership.Really is it wrong for Kambwili to advise youths not to cause confusions during independence commemoration.Independence is not partisan or tribal it a national event.Allow his excellence Mr Sata to rule other you insulting and frustrating him .Bring on board positive discussions that can bring about development.You have seen development is taking place every where in Zambia, some thing that we have been crying for for a very long period of time.Tribal politics are very dangerous and it is some thing that we don’t wish.Talk of Nigeria with only 3 tribes violence does end .So i urge all peace loving Zambians to love one another.

    • one day soon you will need that same placard. placards are important so are people who want to demonstrate. Sata will be fine, i believe it is more to do with those that try to feed on attempting to please a people and person like HE. He is not interested. Ask him what he wants, maybe even bashijose holding the barner they were together in chamboli. MCS HE does not need that, i believe. and no one can through eggs in the face of a Zambian president, unless Zambia is now sleeping
