Acting President Guy Scott has threatened to ‘postpone’ the PF General Conference by one week if it is true that there are some people who are trying to cause confusion at the Conference.

Dr Scott says it has come to his attention that some PF cadres are planning to disturb the conference slated for this weekend.

“I may delay the PF General Conference by a week if it is true that there are some people who will cause confusion during the confusion convention,” Dr Scott warned.

The PF General Convention is expected to take place on Saturday November 29, 2014 at Mulungushi Rock of Authority in Kabwe where the delegates would meet to elect a president of the party who shall also be the presidential candidate at the forth coming presidential election set for January 20, 2015.

Dr Scott announced recently that 5000 delegates are expected to attend the Conference.

Dr Scott said this on ZNBC 19-00 hours Main News monitored in Lusaka by ZANIS this evening.

A few days ago, pro-Edgar Lungu members of the Central Committee apologized to Dr Scott for their alleged misconduct.

Squabbles have rocked the ruling party over succession to late President Michael Sata.

Nine candidates, among them Mr. Sata’s widow, Christine Kaseba, have applied for the top job.

    • “I may delay the PF General Conference by a week if it is true that there are some people who will cause confusion during confusion,” Dr Scott warned.

      Love it, “confusion during confusion” or typo error by Lusaka Times?

      PF is finished and they will be no resurrection after 20th January, 2015. Time to enjoy the PFs own concoction of Donchi Kubeba medicine.

      All is breaking up, Kabimba has already left PF so far, the main owner Michael is gone too, next is Dr Scott? They will be landscape divisions in PF, watch this space.

    • The EL cartel wants to leave no stone unturned! It’s not like anything I have witnessed anywhere under the sun. This is pathetic.

    • The last kicks of a dying horse. Sata took PF with him to the grave. All PF members should go back to his grave and beg him for mercy to restore sanity in PF.

    • They had successfully demonized Wynter Kabimba to be the bad guy. Where are they today, long after Kabimba’s departure?

    • If Scott hints, that he will postpone the convention, then he has already decided that the convention be postponed because it does not look good for Christine Kaseba his favourite candidate.

    • ati I can delay the convention! go ahead and do it. muzungu wopusa silly shinka manyela swaini. uletutinya mu calo cesu. ukaponoka!

    • Is Guy Scott the alpha and omega of PF? Where is the Central Committee if one person UNILATERALLY makes all decisions.

      Countrymen, as in the party so are decisions in the nation. If Guy Scott cannot respect his fellow MCC in running the PF on such critical matters, does he respect his fellow cabinet ministers in running the affairs of the State?

      We are in trouble…….Musa Mwenye and Cartel, look at what you have made Zambians go through…back to White colonial rule dictatorship! Eeeish…..

    • Siamanengo have you read the PF constitution? It gives the president sweeping powers, just like Sata wanted it and see now how it is biting PF in the butt!

    • Choma Maanu,

      Even though I dislike PF, Dr Scott really has taught the PF members of what order is, rule of law and democracy. It seems never to sink into the PF dunderheads, all the need is confusion & violence.

      Sure, people deserve better than these PF, as Sata called them, “Useless”.
      Scott was under duress because Sata was held on the throttle by a tribal clink. Now Scott is doing the best to pump sense into PF mediocres.
      Dr Scott once said, “its hard to teach an old dog new tricks” remember? If he can delay it because of his PF indiscipline, bravo to Scott for not entertaining such churlish fagots is.
      Keep it up Dr Scott.

    • Guy Scott is the future; black people cannot run a country; give us your companies; we shall hire u; pay u peanuts and make a killing of a profit when exporting

    • @Ze Biggi Azizov, kitwe

      You have summed up the condescending and patronising attitude Guy Scott has towards the blacks in the PF central committee.

      He makes that all sign an apology statement as a price for ‘reinstating them’. He humiliates them and intimidates them that only he can make decisions. All cowed but for a few they bow in submission like in the colonial days of old.

      Colonialism is back and yet the many gullible of the blacks hail him as the liberator and enforcer of laws like their forefathers of the pre-1960 era.

      A black man is so easy to tame and load it over. They all now sit at the beck and call of this colonialist yearning to be hewers of wood and drawers of water and being a horse for the white man to ride…..

      Abomination!!!

  1. But why is that whenever the president dies a man from East want to take over? Levy died, Banda took over. Sata had died Lungu want to take over and all these guys are from the East. Is it a cultural thing or what? Please, help!

  2. PF is a violent party, they do not believe in doing anything peacefully. How can they lead the country to prosperity?

  3. Both domestic and international media will be at the Mulungushi University on Saturday. Mr Scott, please be aware that the greatest obstacle (vote rigging) to democratic consolidation on Saturday could lead to electoral violence. This is as a result of the rascal politics that the political elites such as Miles Sampa and Slyvia Masebo want to engage in. Apart from that the fact that this phenomenon affects the credibility of the electoral system, the democratic system and the rule of law, the nature, extent and magnitude of violence and rigging associated with elections in PF had assumed alarming proportions that necessitates intellectual excursion to the realm of possible solutions. If Miss Masebo rigs these elections to install a cartel agent, PF will be playing in the hands of UPND.

  4. It would be better for the PF if Scott listened to the idea of the central committee. Time is running out. He can delay the convention but he should keep it in mind that Zambians will not allow him to delay January election.

  5. Yaba…Do these guys know that campaigns have started hahaha..Typical PF no sense or direction and these are the same people who should be entrusted to run the country? Atase…Hopefully this party and its people get obliterated for good never to be seen again. Three years of such stupidity is enough..Never again

  6. I think GS has seen that his preferred candidate is likely to lose hence the plan to delay so that they can regroup. It is clear that the EL Niño group is in full gear now!!

  7. Zambian politics need to change. People need to belong to a political party because they believe in its ideals not for a better livelihood. It’s not African. Mandela showed us this so did Dr. Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks. We are losing the African passion which we so desperatly cherish. PF is a bunch of greedy individuals who should not be entertained. I want to believe that the African passion is still there. Where we smile even if we have nothing, we share even if we have so little. I want to believe Africans are set apart for this. The Zambian political landscape does not currently represent the real African atitude. Zambians have to vote to weed out this cancer that has befallen the nation. Mother Kaseba I beg you re-think, EL, stop to reflect and all other politicians.

  8. Thans GS for striving to bring sanity to you party and the nation at large. Our late presido called them all sorts of names their behavior is an affirmation of what Sata meant.

  9. 50 years after independence, we cannot even celebrate our Jubilee because unpatriotic cartel members that do not respect our ancestors and Jesus for freeing Africa want to control a Christian nation. Let us fight with the gallant MPs and ministers that want Zambia to remain independent and not auctioned off.

    • Too late! Sata already sold Zambia for 8.2 Billion USD! And that was AFTER he had already squandered the 3 Billion that RB left in the bank!

      Medical tourism is not cheap! Specially if you take 40 family members with! How much for each trip? 200 million or more?

      If Zambians want Zambia back, they better start working VERY hard. Maybe after 20 or 30 years of the new kind of slavery they will have enough to buy it back.

      Until then the 50 years of Independence Jubilee is just another on of Satas stupid jokes!

  10. I think Guy Scott can make a good president, he is what PF wants but because pf their selfish agendas, they will lose. Don’t go for a convention pls let Scott continue untill 2016. EL is not sober enough to take on HH truth be told.

    • No he cannot, please wake up from you slumber. study your history and how guy scott was fired from MMD. We know why you think he can be good. Do you know the scottish voted not to get independent from England. Digest that.

  11. He should postponed if there is no violence.. That would sock me more than the latter.. What does he expect from PF?? How can u punish a monkey for climbing a tree?? Let them fight!! In fact, just bring a ring to the convention so those who want to fight can do as they please, that’s what Kaponyas do.. God works in mysterious ways if Kabimba was SG we all know he would have sorted out Lungu.. Kabimba was not afraid to be hated, Lungu would have cried all he liked.

    • Iwe suntwe why do you hate ba kaponya …imwe ba some of us mwalishupa sana
      Kaponya this kaponya that atase….ni bana bako

  12. Zambian version of Arab Spring! Just as some Arabian brothers thought they would bring something better but have ended up in a free for all self destructive mood, killing each other like anything! What is happening in Zambia is quite similar, the next will be brutal killing of each other, God forbid. There is something brewing in the minds. In Arab Spring, religious extremism reigns, it has and is causing deaths of millions todate. In Zambia it’s politics and political fanaticism. Everyone wants politics and political leadership, who knows who must lead the other. Even supporters have abandoned even business activities to make money, its now all politics which seem to make money for many heads.

    • This is why we need opposition to understand that keeping quiet is not going to help them win. PF will turn that same violence on opposition party’s and work the ballot to impose one of the Sata’s.

      You must do your checks and balance role and ask for an end to Guy Scott by declaring a He will create violent minds in toes who feel a right and those righteously deprived of their right.

  13. He’s just upset because his preferred candidate Wynter has resigned leaving him in a lurch. Scott the heaven doors are closing on you fast. The canoe is sinking very fast.

  14. This is tough, but I urge the CC not to react to this ‘Agent Provocatuer.’ Remain calm and do not play into this white buffoon’s hands.

    Central Committe have been proven correct. The GC was a completely ridiculous idea and has delayed campaign. This is all about the Sata’s that this sycophant agitates so.

    If Kaseba and team had a shred of decency they would have stepped aside for the CC’s choice as in all other parties. The choice is clear. Edgar Lungu.

    There is too much damage done to the image of PF, by Guy Scott, and 1 week more of this wrangling could damage it to the point of no return.

    He wants to impose his candidate and then beat, intimidate all citizens into submission.

    • Is there no way really for Parliament to convene to declare a no confidence motion in Guy a Scott and this party?

      If we just went into General Elections it would be better. Zambia we can’t do this. It’s not comedy and the opposition should follow Msoni and ask for a caretaker gov’t until after elections.

      There is no logic to Guy Scott’s idea to delay. Where is the money coming from? Bad behaviour increases by the second.

    • @Patriot Abroad

      I understand your anguish….yet you have to understand the psychology of black people.

      As long as they think it doesn’t affect their bread and butter they will watch and participate in the injustice. Read history books on the worst perpetrators of slavery…it was the black man who sold/betrayed his neighbours for a string of beads. Same happened in South Africa, Mozambique, Southern Rhodesia and South West Africa. It was the blacks that delayed the liberation of these territories as they actively collaborated with the oppressors. That is the mentality of a black man.

      Today, a lot of Zambians would be too happy to have Scott abusing them as he is a white man than have one of their one ruling in truth and justice.

      The black race is perhaps cursed?

  15. WE CAN LEARN FROM LONG TIME DEMOCRACY IMPLEMENTERS LIKE THE U.S, WHEN THERE’S A RUMORED TERROR ATTACK THEY TIGHTEN THE SECURITY…

  16. PF is the only correct party at the moment. They will win the elections in 2015 january. we are tired of power hungry UPND fake promises.

    • UPND fake promises? Which promises were those?

      The only FAKE promises I have seen come from the last Fake President and his Fake Party!

      Which planet have you been living on for the last 3 years?

  17. The PF drama is getting better by the day. Please postpone for two weeks because some chap is threatening violent. Just read the post newspaper Mr. President.

  18. and what happens in that week? The violent cadres will be rehabiitated ready for the following week? Please. Share. The world of psychology is waiting

  19. The Problem with PF is not any delays or what. PF had no structures when SATA won. SATA himself was not subject to a vote as being proposed. Kabimba “the traitor” organised the party and to some extent PF was on the ground. But what has happened now is the Kabimba went round and destroyed them and sold them to UPND. His pay – nominated MP by HH. for the Job well-done. So Scott and PF have been napping by Kabimba and Senior Intelligence Officers who may be working with. So whats their way out, 1. Do the “American Style Debate” in Kabwe so that 8 aspirants are eliminated; 2. Sell yourselves as the most democratic party 3. Sell the remaining stock of government houses as campaign tool.

  20. yes you can delay the convetion but you cant delay lungu’s presidency. Musa mwenye, musa mwenye,musa munye God has forgiven you bcoz you didnt know what you were doing

  21. Mr. Sata’s widow, Christine Kaseba, have applied for the top job. pro-Edgar Lungu. Edgar Lungu a thief to be a candidate.

  22. lungu just wants to carry on the sata promise and legacy which is so pathetic that no one want to hear about now what would the kaseba s promises and whose legacy to follow maybe it would be better to delay the gc for a month so they can find what to tell people go ahead gs.

  23. Scott should behave.we told him that we the pipo want Jubilee lungu but he wanted confusion.please Scott stop what you’re doing boss.don’t delay otherwise if u delay Zambians won’t be happy.We want to start campaigning for EL batata ba shikoti

  24. This old faggot thinks he can unilaterally switch on and off the conference or for that matter any party decision. Where the heck is the gutless and toothless PF central committee. You are all just following and nodding your heads while this man runs amok ruining a party that was supposed to change the lives of Zambians. Shame on you scott.

  25. Scott do u have the intelligence or not?This country will be in chaos if Lungu is not adopted.People want lungu to continue sata’s legacy.please tell Madam masebo to behave otherwise if impose a candidate zambia will be on fire.I don’t know if yo intelligence is telling this.Mmembe is no longer popular in zambia and can’t influence people.social media and phones have changed things.please listern scott, before Army takes over from u never allow selfish cartel to decide for us.central committe told u what we wanted as PF supporters but u ignored the advise.In conclusion u’ve no wisdom no-wonder Sata never left u acting.PF is not Lima party u destroyed!!Why can’t u follow democracy the will of people?I’m very disappointed to have such a white man.please again we tell Mmembe is…

    • Sata’s legacy was stup!d because it has divided the nation badly and to have someone continue stup!dity and say people want that stup!dity to continue is the most backward thing I have ever heard. I think you should say ‘Some PF members and yourself’ want Lungu because generalising it by saying ‘People want Lungu’ is an insult to right thinking people such as myself.

  26. Scott must be very daft, deaf and blind, or a big pretender! It’s so shocking that he does not know that violence is in the nature of PF (Panga Fighters)! Was he in a comma through the reign of the Cobra? Has he not heard about Kambwili and Masebo, and Nsanda? He simply has to come to terms with the PF reality and deal with it the PF way. Or else he will have to postpone the convention altogether because PF will still be PF even next week – violent. It’s unrealistic to expect them to grow up in one week. This is Africa my friend; doesn’t that black blood you claimed to have tell you so?

  27. Guy Scott is a spoiler!PF has no time for more delays.i wonder who advises this white old man!the police cant fail to control cadres,so why fear?dont just rig elections bcoz many of us want Edgar Lungu and u Guy Scott is very much aware of this fact.Go Edgar Lungu go!

    • You are not in Zambia and do not understand the PF panga fighters to clain Police can control then. Brother us at home in Zambia understand how PF was destroyed by its leaders to in encouraging these PF thugs. They allowed them to be above the police and now the cancer is biting PF in there bums. The Panga Fighters are real and bad. They do not respect the Police.

    • Well said @eddy true Edgar Lungu is the man to see PF win against the hopeless liar HH who wants nothing else but to plunder the nation out of everything and to instill a tribal domination in all areas of government..heaven forbid this happening and as for Guy Scott what a loser this musungu is and i have been saying it for years now..Guy Scott Edgar Lungu is the peoples preference let them have whom they want and not whom you want.

  28. pf it is shiiiiiii…..! just put you fingers on the mouths, as a symbol of don’t talk…,insult….kubeba part 2. some, it is known how they came on the political scene. if they are worshiped bcoz of their money & tribe. for us it is different, we will repeat what we did in 2011

  29. Mwana wa Njoka ni Njoka yamene (a serpent can produces forth only serpents). But see Scott searching hard for angels among serpents. Muzungu opusa indeed!! I won’t be surprised to see Scott cause PF not to contest; most of his unilateral decisions are unachievable. Who knows, he could be on the opposition payroll.

  30. Scott get it in your thick pink head: Walila mvula, walila matope (He who yearns for the rains yearns for the mud also). There you go: because you asked for the convention,prepare for the violence; the two have always gone hand in hand since UNIP days. Ask Kavindele, Kapwepwe, Chiluwe, Miyanda and all. You cannot turn Kabwe into Scotland simply because of your Scottishness. Go with it bululu.

  31. If he has credible information pointing to definite plans to disturb the peace even for those who are condemning him here, why should he not postpone or even ban the so-called conference? Do you want him to ignore credible reports? Challenge him on the credibility of his reports rather than just condemning him.

  32. Guys, don’t just make noise, what most of you are not thinking about is the safety of ordinary people, these thugs when they start throwing stones and hacking people with pangas who will be responsible, of course it is Guy Scott. So as a Commander in Chief, he relies on intelligence/recommendations provided to him by security forces. Lets think beyond party lines, governing is difficult, look at the lunacy exhibited by Edgar, who knew that he has this bad behavior?? I would rather have HH in power than Lungu.

  33. The cartel is scared of E. Lungu that is why this old fooli sh white man wants to delay. Just look at the tramped up charges against E. Lungu. Scott if you go ahead and put up Kaseba as PF candidate, she will be torn to pieces by the opposition during campaigns. Mind you majority of voters are women and they are not happy about Kaseba’s actions. the way they dislike Maureen is the same way they have disliked Kaseba, these two women will never have the respect of majority Zambian women.

  34. Aaaaaaah! Looking at the picture above, I now see why Kambwili thinks the chair is rightfully his. Look at what’s high above the presidential chair. Ok, mystery solved.
