Youth and Sports Minister Chishimba Kambwili says revelations that a known cabinet Minister is scheming to hijack the presidency from President Sata are true.
Mr Chishimba who is also PF National Youth Chairperson confirmed that there is a power struggle by some individuals underway in the ruling party for the top post.
He told Journalists in Lusaka in an interview on the sidelines of the third Africa Youth Parliament at the National Assembly building.
“Some PF insiders and some newspaper wanting to throw scorn on certain individuals and I’m one of them targeted, Honourable Chikwanda is also one of them. This is to try to discredit us so that they can promote a certain individual to be President after Mr Sata but you see in politics, you don’t get to the Presidency by squeezing others, you only get to the presidency by offering good leadership, earning your imminence and convincing the people that you are the best out of all of them that want to be President after Mr Sata,” he said.
Mr Kambwili added, “this particular individual has gone out to connive with a certain newspaper which you know, to try to promote his being President and right now he is busy calling youths from the Copperbelt in groups of tens and telling them that I hold all Government contracts and I can give you contracts if you support me to be President and if you work with me.”
He continued, “We know what is going on. We also have certain correspondence we have come across where they are planning to make sure that myself, Honourable Chikwanda, Honourable Mukanga, Honorable Yaluma and Mr Willie Nsanda are kicked out of the party.”
Mr Kambwili said he is fully aware of the schemes of the group positioning itself for State House.
“Even those that are speaking out of the newspaper against Honourable Chikwanda have been paid, Bishop Mambo was paid, we know how much he was paid, This Fr Luonde is paid, he is a sponsored person. They have all been paid to speak on behalf of this clique of people that are trying to destabilise the party.”
He warned that he will protect the PF from apparent destruction.
“We are not going to sit idle and leave these people to destroy the PF we worked hard for, the PF we developed. So I can confirm that it is true that people are working at hijacking the Presidency before 2016 and of course wanting to throw scorn against certain individuals in the party and I’m one of the targets but as usual am a very cool and collected person, I’m quiet about it and I know they won’t manage, they are just wasting their time,” Mr Kambwili said.
Mushota and Saulosi will really go into hiding this time…..
LOL!!!
wapya muzi!! where is hard working Sata to defend himself????,,,,,,, am sure Sata has learnt it a hard way,,, he throws out GBM and trusts indoshi Kabimba
The jostling and positioning for leadership position is a healthy occurrence in politics whenever elections are nearing and the weaklings will fizzle off and wither away. Its part of the political game.
That said, there is nothing to get so waked up with.
PF as a party in govt remains unshaken and firmly in control of the affairs of the nation
Bull Frog Kambwili is a trouble maker. Dig up his back yard and see whats there!
Kambwili the great buffoon. Stop lying.
WYNTER IS A PAWN, THE KING IS BEHIND THE SCENES MOVING THE PAWN UP AND ABOUT, THE PAWN WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE BEEN BORN WITH SOME KINGLY CHARACTER. THE KING TO THE PAWN HAS NO OPTION BUT TO KEEP MOVING THE PAWN WITHIN PF. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT THE KING TO THE PAWN IS A BUSINESS MAN. THIS KING HAS NO OTHER OPTION OTHER THAN THE PF.
HE CAN NOT INFLUENCE HIS PAWN TO FORM HIS ON PART BCOZ THE PAWN HAS NO KINGLY CHARACTER IN HIM, HE CAN NOT SUPPORT MMD BCOZ MMD IS HISTORY FOR NOW, HE CAN NOT SUPPORT UPND BCOZ HH IS ALSO A KING. THIS KING HAS NO OPTION BUT TO STICK WITHIN THE PF. HE HAS NO OPTIONS ON HIS TABLE. IF I WAS SATA I WOULD GET RID OF THIS PAWN IMMEDIATELY AND RESTORE SANITY IN THE PARTY. ACTIVATE GBM,GIVEN LUBINDA, LUNGU, KAPATA, KAMBWILI AND ALL LOYAL MEMBERS
Witchhunting ? Seems more like it. This man is just fearing his own fat shadow.There is no such thing in the mighty PF
Uko!!! What more can we say? Where is fit Sata? Let them (PF) tear each other apart. More is yet to come. I am enjoying this game, of self destruction by PF. PF will disintegrate very soon. Good for the opposition, especially UPND.
It’s logic to note that the fight in PF is between the bemba speaking people (Northern circuit) comprising of Luapula, Northern and Muchinga, which constitute the following: Chikwanda, GBM, Kambwili, Yamfwa, Yaluma, Sichinga, Luo, etc. The non-bemba speaking cartel involve Scott, Kabimba, Nchito, Mwaliteta, Inonge Wina, assisted by Mmbembe and his post newspaper. The best PF can do is to float a neutral, other than that it will be a break up.
so where is the police or army to arrest those planning treason?
A confirmation that Sata is on his last legs. Good riddance to Cobra. RIP my friend
The odds are against Kabimba and his cartel. Kabimba should be careful, as an appointed MP, he can easily be fired and replaced by another person. This means losing his parliamentary privileges as well.
As things stand I don’t think Kabimba will be given the chance to lead PF in which most prominent members are Bembas. They won’t allow him at all. Very soon Kabimba and his cartel will be purged out of PF.
Wapya munzi
Very soon, Kabimba and Mmembe will say tribalism in the PF is destroying the party when it has been there for 3 years. Let tribalism eat them alive now. A bemba can never allow any other tribe to rule unless a stooge.
Ba PF naimwe yashani iyo.Ikataneni bane.
Can the PF explain to us why someone wants to hijack Sata’s presidency?
How come this fighting seem to have a tribal line? We thought pf had no tribal politics.
This is the quintessential Jerry Springer show. Let the petticoats and underwear come off! Who is sleeping with the mother-in-law now?
Just mention if its Kabimba, there is buffoonery za zed .Everyone is scared.
iwe you cant point a finger at indoshi ,,,, elders never told you??
What’s clear is that the evil forces will soon be rendered useless. Pretty soon
wapya muzi!! where is hard working Sata to defend himself????,,,,,,, am sure Sata has learnt a hard way,,, he throws out GBM and trusts indoshi Kabimba
WHY DO U PIPO FEAR WINTER KABIMBA? JUST SAY WINTER KABIMBA THROUGH FRED MMEMBE IS PLANING TO OVERTHROW SATA AND BECOME PRESIDENT SIMPLE
Exactly ! why is everyone saying there is someone who wants to take over, so childish
Judge – It’s called Diplomacy my friend. Get me more popcorns please.
We will get the now accumulated K40millon + accrued interest even if it will entail grabbing someone’s tabloid and handing it over to a sane Individual or group of individuals.
They want you to use your brain.
Don’t be lazy!
Ala kwena this party knows how to drop bombs on itself..I await the reaction..anyway it is good, now the truth about the state of the president is about to be revealed he certainly has to come out of his hiding and deal with this thrid round or is it five round of the fight.. this one even looks bigger than the previous fight..and Kambwili has landed the first heavy blow, over to you A-Team Leader Wynter Kabimba, more popcorns please. This movie is getting interesting, no dull moments in PF politics
ha! my hero Kapwepwe is not dead then, i can feel his spirit . or is he just turning in his grave( apologies to Mulenga)
Mr Kambweli, this is nothing to protect about PF, this useless party is the most corrupt party as you have already indicated, Kabembwa already said Pf is the most tribal party in Zambia & now worse pf has given the Zambians a ” Shy president” who is busy hiding from the people who put him in state. So pf is finished!
So why is everyone scared of this chap trying to hijack the presidency? Is he sleeping with the armed forces? Thank you Kambwili for spilling the beans but you may also need to deal with the brains behind this confusion. Kabimba is just an agent. The man you need to deal with is Guy Scott.
and there will be an earthquake very soon and then a sunnami and finally a trumpet will sound and the KING will appear shinning like star. Only those strong will receive him.
It’s very clear there are factions in the PF. Kabimba has come out victorious in the past. Kambwili is sensing that once Kabimba boots out Chikwanda, he will be next. So the best option is to start fighting long before he is targeted by Kabimba and the post. We wait to see how this unfolds. Read the post newspaper from tomorrow, headline will be now on Kambwili and hope he can finish his fight.
It is clear that kabimba has no strong support base in PF. the best he can do is to side the civil society, the church, the Bashi lubemba, the linyangambo and chief jumbe. Mpenzeni is easily manipulated with money so he cant be trusted. It is easy; work on the Constitution win NGOs; recognize sosala win the bembas; implement the barotse win western province and the rest will fall in place on its own.
Mushota can you open your wide mouth and sk..t on this one! This hilarious at max, and implosion is pending…, let’s go self-destruction but don’t take Zambia along with your PF. Saulosi any comment? Or it has hit home finally?
hehehehe!!! PF on autolysis mode. am loving this.
any comment mushota or saulosi or any pf minion????
The battle line has been drawn.The A team has produced Mangango.If droped they present a challenge to Bemba folk.It will be Chikwanda vs Kabimba.And later Kabimba vs HH.ITs a done deal.The Nkumbula school of thought will have it.Thats my opinion.
Keep on dreaming my friend. Hon Chikwanda can never compete in a Election in PF with Kabimba. PF is Sata, Hon Chikwanda is MEMCS’s uncle. Leave the rest to you.
So the cartel know what will befall them, Hon Chikwanda will take over from HEMCS on an acting capacity then leave the baton with GBM to run with during presidential elections with Given Lubinda as the Veep. All the conspiracy will amount to ZERO!!!!!
I am a self appointed referee in this ‘Game of Throans’.
This will be the most entertaining game of matrix snobbery and awakening.
“There is away that seems right to man at the beginning of it but at the end of it lies destruction”
Kambwili boi, so how much did they pay for the recent Mangango by e-elections? Spill the beans…we know you love Zambia more than those GRZ abusers.
The Confusion in the ruling party will never end as long as Sata remained in isolation.
Away we go,let the games begin.Nakuba bufi,ha ha ha ha.Ichiloto ukuwama
With all fairness HH will bring economy, social etc sanity in Zambia.
This is all music to my ears, let them fight these I.D.I.O.TS, 2016 will be for the opposition
I may not like Kambwili, but anyone who stands up against Fred M’membe has my support. For once, Viva Kambwili
Has anyone noticed that all of the sudden the Post has branded their cars? What were they afraid of during the MMD regime? I know its marketing and brand recognition, but I am thinking its a coincidence!! And all of the sudden they have bought big trucks for their haulage!1 M’membe is using his newspaper to connive with politicians and enriching themselves….Cartel will soon go down.
I am in total agreement with your considered view sir/madam. I, too, am with anyone against Membe and the so called cartel, even if it means supporting the devil himself.
Bwana Kambwili, know it for sure that united you stabd abd divided you fall. Supposing HE Chilufya Micheal Sata Katongo decided to quit who do you think is capable of becoming the president in PF? Is it Kabimba, Scott, seguru Chikwanda, or Kambwili? We wonder why Kambwili is so angry when he can not go out where the friends are going for campaigns. Talk more and people will easily ignore you.
When they start washing their dirty linen in public then you know that there is no unity in the cabinet and therefore no productive work can be expected of them. The timing of it with their missing boss makes things worse, well you never know he may be the one pulling the strings.
I just love this.Now that we got love what are we gonna do with it? I expect serious casualties in this comedy that I hope will teach all to conduct serious self introspection.Kuyi weinger
They are busy fighting for the remains of Ukwa and at the same time saying he is fine. Let the *****s kill each other.
And someone will believe the lies that this BUFFOON Kambwili and Fossil Chikwanda meet in cabinet meetings headed by old man Sata regularly. This is a clear sign of leadership void at the expense of national development….we are not going anywhere with these empty tins.
Here we go again with unnecessary infighting!
I said several times PF has within its ranks double agents, this is the layout…Kambimba, George Chellah, Meembe, Nchito and their musungu chola boy Scott! Then on the other side you have the A team namely Hon Chikwanda, Edward Lungu, Mulenga Sata and to a lesser extent the same Chishimba Kambwili. This is a fact!! Any pro PF bloggers let’s debate if you wish, I don’t have time for UPND hyenas like that Tonga homosexual dudelove, or those other ZWD puppies..only pro PF bloggers please!
You seem to forget that the PF starts and ends with HEMCS. That’s simply a fact.
There is no Team A or Team B, Hon Chikwanda is HEMCS’s uncle, hope that explains it. There simply will never be competition in PF between Sata, his family and others.
First are you Pro PF??The A team obviously is the team HEMCS endorses. The whole treachery of team B (the cartel) and their musungu racist tool who pretends to be senile has been known for a while. If only some of you knew the extent of things, for goodness sake Scott wrote articles in the Post, he and Mmeembe are bossom buddies! Why did Scott have to mention Mulenga Sata on the issue of elligibilty to stand for President? Because he and the cartel want to isolate the young man.
Know what, your pro PF comment is very Funny. What dreamers like you need to know is that PF is Sata, it starts and ends with him. That Sata can only pass on the mantle either to his Uncle, his wife or any of his Children. It’s for the family.
Anyone else in the clique that thinks otherwise will have it coming. From where we stand we really don’t care which side Guy Scott purportedly is on, he can be fired or demoted even tomorrow if we wanted and he will. So shall be Kabimba and there kind.
This is exactly my point, Mulenga Sata has been targetd by the Cartel they want to silence him because he really along with probably Dr Kaseba (that is the one person who chaps seem to forget) are the only ones who could unite and lead the party should there be need.
nothing serious PF is greater than this tempral internal rangos just 4get about it no one will eva succed in bring the mighty pf down,not even the devil himself.with or without kambwili and kabimba pf wil go on and on.
Well said seniormostman!!!
Ba Kambwili and all those you have mentioned as “targeted” are NOT Presidential material. Forget about tribal sympathies. It simply wont work! You will be lucky to pull it off in Luanshya as an MP given your arrongance, lack of political tact and selfishness/abuse of political oficce
SATA MICHEAL HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE CONFUSION IN PF.
ITS TIME MR. SATA APOINTED A NEW VICE PRESIDENT TO COME AND GIVE ZAMBIANS PEACEFUL ELECTIONS BECAUSE IF SOME PEOPLE WILL COME AND HIJACK TO ACT AS PRESIDENT PENDING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS. WE SHALL NOT HAVE PAECE BECAUSE THE APETITE FOR POWER IN ONE PF CAMP IS TOO HIGH. SO MR. PRESIDENT DO ZAMBIANS A FAVOUR BY QUICKLY APPOINTING A NEW VICE PRESIDENT AS GUY SCOT DOESNT MERIT IT .FOR SURE THE WIND OF CHANGE OF FOR HH AND UPND THIS TIME AROUND. THE IN FIGHTING IN PF IS TOO HIGH ON TOP OF FAILING TO GIVE ZAMBIANS A GOOD CONSTITUTION. THIS WILL BITE PF DURING CAMPAIGNS. JUST WAIT.
Yeah—– the retards have tried hide the tribalism in PF, but now its blowing up. There is a God up there!
What Sata presidency? Hasn’t Sata himself abdicated his own presidency? Where is he?
Lessons to learn for the future:- If anyone seriously wants to know what happens when a political Party lacks a credible ideology as a focal point, but instead uses an individual as a focal point, then watch and judge for yourself what follows as the events in PF unfold and play out as Sata the focal point fades away. This is like watching a true life movie.
Yes those of you who said a Tonga will never rule this country will walk with coiled tails. Kabimba is a Tonga and PF will bring him and we shall vote for him. Do you remember where he went to give books when he was “acting president” ? Among the Tongas. Kabimba will serve this shameless thiieves just like Mwanawasa served Chilu ba. Abash bembanization of Zambia. Kabimba never relent. Over their (bembas) dead bodies.
Zambia is full of jokers. Can not believe that this man is a minister.
Why would he give half-statements. And what he is saying is likely to split his party– not bring unity.
And where is HEMCS to bring sanity to it all? Oh yes, that’s right — he is busy working.
And we wonder why we will never develop.
#OneZambia
pf is pf those internal rangos ar normal for any healthy political party dobout itor u you out of the polititical of Zambia.
Remember it’s the same stuff of POSITIONS that HH attributed as cause for the demise of the UPND-PF pact and yet pipo we didn’t pay attention to it up to now. That was there agenda. Fellow citizens, our friends are making drones due to visionary leadership R&D, but what we doing ourselves, just arguing and praising chaps for providing roads, clinics, skus things which song merit praise. We are the reason our country is so behind, condemning our kids future all because we weren’t patriotic to our supposed to be great nation. We joking with leadership all the way. In the UK, probably HH and Chipimo can debate issues intellectual.
SAULOSI AND MUSHOTA,what is happening we are missing your bouncing comments now. They say that “anything that raises must come down”
Wait for 2016. God willing we shall see who is who.
Is it true that a Fish begins to lot from its head?
@ANALISTOFIOUS,
Ha ha ha, yes the whole lot of the head rots first.
Sir, stop crying for the presidency. It is not a clan thing. Your relative has had his chance. Now somebody from another clan must take-over. That is the way things are supposed to happen. It is not an inheritance.
And why is Sata failing to deal with that cabinet minister, bwana Kambwili?
Chaps are scared to simply say Kabimba is doing that and he is positioning himself for presidency. Maybe he has seen that nobody else is interested and Sata is definitely not going to have strength to even try.
I think……. These PF guys have been licking those little green rainforest frogs. ……. The ones you are not supposed to. This is group hallucination! @Reality nicely noted. Can PF tell us why there is this challenge. Chicken little has lost his head! Give the evidence to the right people not press and last I heard, that type of action is Treason.
Must be Kabimba the calculating greedy fox.Hahaha,PF elected to bring on itself some unelected trouble.
you can fight but do not take your idiocy to peace loving Zambians Okey . i have never seen a party full of thugs like PF God is watching
THIS SHOULDN’T BE ANYTHING TO DO WITH TRIBE. BUT, HAVING KABIMBA AS PRESIDENT IS WOULD BE THE WORST THING ZAMBIANS EVER DID. THERE IS NOTHING THE MAN HAS EVER COME UP WITH. HE IS NOT INNOVATIVE LET ALONE INTELLIGENT AND FAR FROM BEING WISE. HAVING BEEN SATA’S CHOLA BOY DOESN’T MAKE HIM SATA. ZAMBIAN NEEDS INTELLIGENT, WISE AND RESULTS-ORIENTED LEADERS FROM ANY PART OF ZAMBIA. KABIMBA IS JUST A CHOLA BOY. EVEN HH CAN WIN THE ELECTIONS BY A LARGE MARGIN IF KABIMBA WERE TO BE FLOATED. THE MAN HAS NEVER EVEN WON ANY PARLIAMENTARY SEAT.
Kabimba is the closest person to the President Sata. They have worked together since the 80s at Lusaka City council. The only problem that Chikwanda, Kambwili etc is that he is not bemba. Kabimba is the correct man to take over from Sata.
Working with somebody doesn’t make you close to them. Hon Chikwanda is his uncle for heavens sake.
Gentlemen if u have never argued with yo spouse the day it will happen expect sucide. What is happening is a true charecteristic of a strong political party full of courageous people. Remember the story of Zuma and Malema in South Africa….we all thought that was the end of ANC. It also happened in MMD in 2008 after the death of Mwanawasa when the likes of Mpombo and others ditched the party…in politics people have to fight for positions where they feel their service is required…..
Winter this time NO accusation of tribalism by your toilet past paper…You accuse PF of Bemba tribalism, Accuse UPND of Tonga Tribalism…we now know who the real tribalist promoting tribalism . These are;
Winter
Scot
M’membe
I hate kabimba, Mmembe, George chellah, Sata. Let them go.
Even the gospel is clear about the house which is divided; it will certainly fall. One thing unknown about authors to some people is the ability writers have to prophesy. And prophesy has already been given here; PF will disintegrate. This is because one camp which will feel unwanted will not leave and do nothing. They will form a new party. This means half the strength of Pf taken away. And PF will no longer be a party to reckon with because ebola will have eaten it good.
Hear what am about to say. Whether you agree or not problems are in all major political parties in Zambia. UPND has that tribal tag on it compounded by lack of self-selling by its leader HH, two things which fore-tell the UPND A MERE BY-STANDER. MMD has Nevers Mumba as the action stopper due to his questionable presidential credentials and lack of leadership qualities, which makes their party near oblivion and extinction. NAREP has a vibrant leader in E. Chipimo problem being there are no party structures at the grassroots, that makes him not a major contender till after 2016. PF has what is being discussed though the party’s popularity is on the hanging thread and their only hope of survival is what follows: Let them talk to Felix Mutati to lead them, then 2016 will theirs. NO KABIMBA
I agree with NSOFWA. Let me call a spade a spade here. Those among Bembas in government with a strong sense of entitlement and who think no other person but themselves can be president MUST please live room to progressive people to take over. We are not going to allow a situation where only one ethnic group wants to take monopoly of power in PF —- it is bad public relations strategy and in the end PF will lose elections in 2016. The fact of the matter is that Ba kateka Ba SATA is the only Bemba who can win elections in Zambia right now. Any party that will field a Bemba candidate in 2016 has absolutely no chance of winning the national election. Facts are facts here. No other Bembas tukwete mubuteko lelo bengawina election tapali. Only PF haters support empty heads like Kambwili.
panga family is so disorganized..!
All leadership is from God, whether good or bad. God choses men to lead for a purpose. Even Hitler was raised by God for a purpose. This should not worry anyone. If at all there are people fighting for the presidency, they will not make it if they are not chosen by god himself.The main focus now is for ministers double dealing with the mines to be sorted out. Why is Kambwili defending Chikwanda. Is he also a supplier to the Chinese mine at Luanshya? It looks to me like it is not only Chikwanda who is guilty here.
That is the down fall of PF. That is how it started also in MMD, divisions! Chipimo wake up with your party and make next government.
WHY NOT JUST POINT IT OUT THAT ITS KABIMBA WHO WANTS TO DETHRONE THE PRESIDENT??? THE CARTEL WILL; SURVIVE THEIR CORRUPTION ONLY WITH THE PROTECTION OF KABIMBA AND GUY SCOUT. NOW WITH HIS WIDE REJECTION TIME FOR PAYBACK IS COMING. DAYS ARE NUMBERED INCLUDING THE K 18 000 ,00 LOAN WILL HAVE TO BE PAID BACK. TOO BAD CARTEL, TOO BAD KABIMBA.
where is george chella to yap on the old mans fittness ? Or has he forgotten how to use the old mans facebook?
This power struggle is going because of the no show president. How can he miss for 3 months ? Let him come out of where he’s hiding & provide leadership otherwise those who feel there’s a vacancy can position themselves.
No chance can take over leadership of PF. We are very alert. It is also cowardice of the worst kind to resort to name calling of your perceived political opponent.
Much hullabaloo about Nothing. This sight is sure an hibernation of incompetent debators. How can the rantings of big mouthed Kambwili invite such hallucinations about leadership? Data learnt a tough lesson from FTJ &, I tell you, his an noted successor is not among all thosr louts jostling for power. When he speaks (which is soon) even Kabimba, HH, Kambwili, etc bakomfwa new misu.
