PF President Edgar Lungu has promised to recognise Henry Chanda Sosala as the new Paramount Chief Chitimukulu once elected republican President.
And Mr Lungu said that he will revisit the recently adjusted retirement and ensure that the debt owed by the Post Newspapers and its business is recovered if he becomes Head of State.
Addressing thousands of people that attended the Mandevu rally Sunday afternoon, Mr Lungu said he will listen to the views of the people when he becomes President.
‘My leadership will be about servant hood, I will be your number one servant and I will listen to the people of Zambia. As a servant you can’t overrule your bosses, all of you are my masters and am your servant,’ Mr Lungu told the cheering crowd.
Mr Lungu reaffirmed that under his administration, Zambia will maintain its Christian principles.
‘I am God fearing, how many of you went to Church this morning? Let us thank God for all we go through, am privileged to be here and that makes me humble and I will allow God to use me as he pleases.’
He added, ‘Zambia is a Christian nation, this is not just a slogan, it is a principle, it is a fundamental principle in which we believe. As Christians, I can promise you that I will keep my word. I have kept my word since I started politics and I pledge to keep my word as I go into State House.’
Mr Lungu also asked the Church to pray for politicians in order to remain humble even as they become powerful.
The PF President also took a serious dig at the Post Newspapers for the negative publicity his campaign has been receiving.
‘Tomorrow you will hear in the newspaper that Lungu’s Mandevu rally flopped, don’t worry about that, as my enemies are pulling me down, God is lifting me up. There is one newspaper that can’t sell if there is no Edgar Lungu.’
Mr Lungu further emphasised his respect for traditions and customs of Zambia by respecting all the Chiefs.
‘Yesterday I was in the Western Province and I paid a courtesy call on the Barotse Royal Establishment including his Majesty the Litunga, I had a nice time with him, there are my parents and he told me to continue being myself, nice and easy and that God will reward me,’ he said.
Mr Lungu stated that, ‘even when I go to State House I will listen to you and I will respect all the Chiefs. I will respect the Litunga, Mpenzeni and Chitimukulu, I speak about Chitimukulu because there are people that want to use this as political capital.’
He added, ‘Let me tell you a secret, when I was appointed S.G, I went to meet the boss and I asked him about the Chitimukulu issue and he told me that it was being resolved and the truth is that the Chitimukulu has now gone back to the palace and the police have been pulled out. Some unscrupulous people are cheating you that they will sort out the Chitimukulu problem. When I go to State House on January 20, I will sign a Statutory Instrument recognising the Chief.’
‘The other thing they are talking about is the constitution. I released the draft constitution within two months when I went to the Ministry of Justice. I can guarantee you that by 2016 there will be a new constitution,’ Mr Lungu pledged.
The PF leader also stated that he will go out and ensure that the debt owed by the Post Newspapers and its business partners is collected once he becomes President.
‘There are people in this country who are up to no good, they are denying the country taxes, what am saying to those people who are not paying taxes is that we will follow you. You will pay all the taxes. We will empower ZRA to collect as much money as possible from all the people in business. Some people have friends in Government who have been shielding them from paying taxes. Those billions should come back to the coffers of the state so that it can be used to develop this country.’
He added, ‘This is what they are scared off and that is why they are writing lies about me. We will collect the money. They are cheating Zambians that Edgar is not the right candidate but you know those are lies. I know he has heard and I know tomorrow he will write about me.’
Mr Lungu further stated that he will not be intimidated by anyone in running national affairs.
‘They are a few things going on, am a lawyer myself and a good lawyer for that matter. Those who are doubting should go to court and ask, how good was that chap? I am a very fearless person, fearless I was in court, fearless I will be in politics.’
On the retirement age of 65 years, Mr Lungu said he will revisit the issue once elected President.
‘That matter is unfortunate. The President first discussed it with us in 2011, he didn’t agree with it because he didn’t believe in it and when I acted as President I never signed it. I don’t want to cast aspersions on the Acting president but we are going to visit that law as PF because it is the cry and demand of the people.’
Mr Lungu has promised to investigate why it is easier for foreigners to get wealthy than it is for Zambians.
“After you vote for me, I will investigate why it is difficult for citizens to acquire wealth as quickly as foreigners. I will make the acquisition of land easier for Zambians,” Mr Lungu said.
Speaking at the same rally, Education Minister Dr John Phiri said Zambians should not vote for old tired politicians on January 20, 2015.
Dr Phiri said it is only the PF under the leadership of Edgar Lungu will the country be able to develop for the benefit of the Zambian people.
The Education minister said the people of Eastern Province have assured Mr Lungu 100 percent votes come January 20, 2015.
He said those enemies of Mr Lungu either within the party or outside the party will be scattering one by one adding that they will not achieve their miscued agenda.
And Kabwata Area Member of Parliament Given Lubinda said the UPND manifesto is a weak one and that it is utopia for them to implement what they are promising to the Zambian people.
Mr Lubinda said UPND president Hakainde Hichilema should not cheat people that he will govern the nation with a cabinet of 25 MPS.
He said people should vote for Mr Lungu who will be able to take forward the legacy of the late President Michael Sata.
Meanwhile, Chililabombwe Member of Parliament Ester Banda said Zambians should give PF a chance to rule this country for continued development.
Ms Banda said even when president Sata left the nation, he had to leave instrument of power with Edgar Lungu because he knew that he was a capable person.
She said there are so many people the late president Michael Sata would have left to act , but that he was satisfied with the able leadership of Mr Edgar Lungu.
And Itezhi Tezhi member of Parliament Greyford Monde told the crowd to vote for Mr Lungu because he will continue with the development projects that President Sata initiated.
Alliance for a Better Zambia (ABZ) president Frank Bwalya said it is clear that people want Mr Lungu to be the President.
“I am appealing to you to work hard so that Mr Lungu wins this election. I am working in the background to ensure that Mr Lungu becomes President of this country,” Father Bwalya said
And Minister of Foreign Affairs Harry Kalaba assured investors and the diplomatic community that the country is stable and peaceful.
Speaking at a PF campaign rally in Mandevu constituency in Lusaka to canvass support for Party President Edgar Lungu in the January 20, 2015 presidential by-elections, Mr Kalaba urged diplomats and foreign investors not to worry about their investments and political stability of the country ahead of the January 20, 2015 polls.
He reiterated that the country has always been peaceful and will remain peaceful during and after the campaigns and elections.
And Sports Minister Chishimba Kambwili echoed the sentiments of Mr Kalaba saying that the country would not plunge into chaos.
Mr Kambwili urged Zambians not to change government as doing so will be a recipe for political instability and loss of US$87 billion worth of investments that the PF administration has managed to bring into the country.
The Minister said Zambia under the PF remains a favourable investment destination and urged voters to ensure that PF continues in government to foster on-going job and wealth creation programmes across the country.
Mr Kambwili said the PF is committed to empowering the youths and had recently increased allocation to the Youth Fund from K4 million under the MMD regime to K29 million.
He said PF President Edgar Lungu once elected as republican president will ensure continuity of the robust economic development the late President Michael Sata initiated.
The rally was punctuated by performances by musicians Wesley Chibambo (Dandy Krazy), Jordan Katembula (JK) and Mozegator, among others.
Euphoria characterised the rally when Mr Lungu arrived aboard a helicopter, which flew over the arena before it landed while people sang songs of praise for Mr Lungu.
Please put Bum Bandit Mmembe in his place,he thinks his too clever.
IT IS DIFFICULT TO PREDICT 2015 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WINNER – DR. NG’OMA.
Political scientist Alex Ng’oma says it has now become difficult to predict whether or not the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) can use the advantage of incumbency to win the 2015 presidential election.Dr. Ng’oma says currently there is no basis on which to predict which political party will win the election. In an interview with Qfm News Dr. Ng’oma notes the current situation is as similar as was the time it was not known that late President Michael Sata would win the 2011 general elections. Dr. Ng’oma states that 2015 presidential election are therefore an open race as victory can go to any political party. The Political scientist has named the UPND, PF & the MMD as three political parties might win.
Dear Zambians, Edgar Kachasu Lungu is now campaigning like an opposition leader. He is busy promising people programmes that he would have implemented since he is a government minister.
For Example, the man has promised to revisit the 65 years retirement age, but this we are told was sanctioned by the Cabinet in which Edgar Kachasu Lungu is a senior member.
Again Edgar Kachasu Lungu has told Zambians that he would recognize Henry Sosala; but you people, Edgar Lungu became the Defence Minister after then the incubent GBM resigned after a heavy police presence was deployed around the palace in Kasama when Edgar Lungu himself was the Home Affairs Minister. So what is this man talking about? Is he drunk not to realise this and cheat Zambians in the day light?
that crowd is small…. you should have seen Sata`s crowd at the time of his lies
Lungu and PF is copying UPND policies just like they copied UNIP constitution in the end they could not interpret it in the selection of party president. Only UPND and HH have a clear vision for Zambia. Vote Flight HH2015

I thank you
We have information that the Lusaka times have been paid by Mr. Edgar Chibuku Lungu to reproduce the story about Edgar’s yestaday rally in Lusaka they carried yesterday.
In short Lusaka Times has also joined the campaign trail for Edgar Kachasu lungu as Image Builders.
Even the most ardent PF supporter must be very disappointed with Edgar Chagwa Mumoba Lungu. Who was minister of Home Affairs when police were sent to embarrass The Chitimukulu and hound him out of his palace. Was it not Nkandu Luo who told the nation that Sosala would be arrested? Whas Kamininamisa not Minister of Home Affairs when a humble catholic priest in the name of Fr.Banyangandora was deported for speaking for the poor? Countrymen, the presidency is a serious office, Lungu is a joke, drunkard, conman and habitual gambler, sure do we need a man with such credentials to be CEO of the Zambia?
Zambians have become champions of listening to lies and electing wrong people into power. PF should be taught a lesson that if you tell people lies you should be booted out of power until we get the right thinking leaders. This election offers Zambians an opportunity to replace the the PF government. They have not fulfilled any of their promises except maybe allowing street vending.
Each ward chairman was bullied to make sure that all his /her members attended the rally without fail. Hence the numbers drawn from chongwe, kafue, chilanga, chisamba, and all Lusaka townships.
Any way people are spoiled for choice nowadays. They have already known the truth from other publications that HH is wowing large number of voters in Lubemba land, to the point of even women lying down to let him walk on them; something I and HH have never seen or heard before. That stint left a mark in HH’s mind. He will never forget that no matter what.
When I asked people who know the bemba tradition, they said it s a sign that mwine lubemba has blessed HH and accepted him.
Viva HH.
VIVA HH you have PF and Moslem Lungu listen and start talking your language.Were was Lungu when PF decided to fix 65yrs as retirement age and was Lungu in mars when Sata told HH to install Henry Kanyanta Sosola.”If you want him make your own chitimukulu as for I have no time with illegal people masicarading as chiefs”.Sata’vision was not to henry Kanyanta Sosola as paramount chief.Which sata vision is Lungu talking about? We are tired of corrupt thieves,Vampires and dandurheads seeking for political office.Iam urging all Christians to say no to Lungu who is a Muslim and a Malawian because the declaration of Zambia as a Christian country by our late chiluba will be in vain.If you want to sale Zambia then go a head.Cry for yourselves.
Shallow speech, purely HH and UPND Stolen manifesto. Vision less if I may ask, when u sent police to sosala as minister of home affairs were you drunk. when cabinet decided to increase the retirement age were u drunk or a scent.??????####Via fyola
Wow wow wow abuse of resources at its best. This is what Guy Scott is talking about, hanging-out with corrupt people.
Did Mmembe notice that Ba Lungu went by HERICOPTER from Chawama to Mandevu? What more when he becomes a president.
@Katondo they are various reasons why people chose to browse thru an article more than they do another. (Note: I use the word BROWSE bcos the majority aren’t reading the articles thoroughly)
Of course an article which cites Lungu can’t abandon Sata’s vision will stir curiosity in people as they want to know the Satas vision which he can’t abandon. And secondly he has just started campaigning. The first when in Kitwe – we heard what happened there (the rains disturbed the rally .. scoff)
HH on the other hand is addressing rally’s twice a day.His vision is clear and so is his counsel. Go to his facebook site and all data is there something people are missing with EL’s campaigns.
@Katondo do you read thru the comments or is it just the number which excites you?
Some people quadruplet comments. The same comment is posted 4 times or worse still 8 times..
Does that ring a bell?
It doesn’t make the article popular or translate in winning of presidential elections.
[email protected], Abuse of resources? It was a private chopper.
It could be that he wanted to send a message to his supporters and opponents that campaign resources are available.
Ba LT people will commit suicide with these pictures.
IFINTU NI LUNGU
Lungu is a disaster in the making. I have never come across a more confused speech by a presidential candidate.
Uko wapya munzi. News is emerging that PF cadres who were ferried to Mongu for Lungu ‘s rally are now demanding for payment they were promised.
I said it that this ferrying of PF cadres to boost numbers for Lungu’s rally will back fire very soon. Here we are now, a certain Andrew Chilufya complained on QFM this morning that PF is good at promising but it never fulfils its promises. (Source; ZWD)
Soon we shall hear those from Chongwe, Kafue, Chilanga and other Lusaka townships start complaining about non payment for being ferried to attend Lungu’s rally on a promise that they will get paid.
Ife mu UPND ni ziiiiiiii. Bantu are even lying on the ground to welcome HH.
Viva HH.
Our President in waiting, Edgar C. Lungu a man of the people, a man that is humble and forgiving even to those that have said such terrible things about him…there is no stopping Lungu. As for the Post newspaper it shows how correct I’ve been all along (remember Guy Scott=Cartel=HH) and now what are the hopeless UPND and ZWD lackeys saying now??? They themselves are now part of the same cartel..wanzelu you are part and parcel of the cartel you cretin!
****VIVA EDGAR LUNGU 2014****
LT please tell the truth. I was there and he never arrived on that red chopper. He arrived aboard his JX with Mama Esther. Learn to tell the truth
ifintu ni Lungu…eo bashilile. now I just call upon my tonga brothers and sisters to see things beyond triballism and vote for Edgar
Shame on tribalists like you!!!
i can’t wait for the debate between a speech impaired candidate and another who chooses his words carefully
may the best man win!
Dear Zambians, the people u are seeing in the pictures above are not genuine Luasaka residents.
Majority of those people were just transported from Copperbelt, Central and Eastern Provinces.
Edgar Chibuku lungu is loosing the elections.
Guy scott advised political leaders yesterday to be true to themselves by not transporting cadres from one region to the other. I now believe what he meant. This PF Vodka is desperate for anything and will try by all means to show as if PF is still people’s favorite party. Those cadres were unruly in their actions and can only come from the C/Belt, where people seem to be stubborn somehow. Look at the way Lungu was speaking at the rally. Honestly should a leader vying for the highest office of the land speak like that? It was as if someone wrote for him what to say and he just memorized the words. Just looking at the people surrounding this Leader, it leaves much to be desired.
Edward [email protected]. You must be imagining, to the contrary, the majority came on foot from chipata compound, mandevu and matero.
I went to see the visionless, drunk and sick man as some sections of the media made me believe so as to see it for myself. I parked at the venue at around 13:15 hrs with just a few people around mostly i believe were organisers. I was there for about 2 hours, by which time there was a sea of people.
I left that place went into matero to watch football between Manchester united and Liverpool.
My take is that the majority came from within the surrounding areas, to that end i wouldn’t bet against Mr. Lungu winning in mandevu.
@ Impako
Shut the fcuk up about tribe.
People who bring up tribe are secretly aware that they are not capable of analysing issues, unlike many smart bloggers here.
So they bring up tribe because it’s something they know. Just let the knowledgable ones speak, and then read what they say, ask questions until you understand, and then agree or disagree.
You don’t have to illustrate how low class you are by mentioning tribe!
Lungu said that he has no vision and will use Sata’s. Sata’s vision includes No people’s driven constitution and not recognizing Chitimukulu Sosala. Violence, tribalism, nepotism and corruption.Why then is Lungu cherry-picking?
Only UPND and HH have clear policies. Vote HH the only reasonable candidate.
“Some people have friends in Government who have been shielding them from paying taxes. Those billions should come back to the coffers of the state so that it can be used to develop this country. – EDGAR LUNGU, MP.
Translation:
‘I have friends in government who I shielded from being prosecuted for conspiring to murder RUTH MBANDU. There many such cases that they impede the proper functioning and development of the judicial system in this country.’
Edgar Lungu is withholding information about the homicide case involving an innocent NIPA female student. Edgar Lungu must be arrested for obstruction of justice!
Lungu is a serious jocker, if Chitimukulu is reasoning let him play his cards well.Nkandu Luo is in Edgar’s camp. There is no way that woman will see Sosala been recognised.
Edgar at one time was quorted refusing about that facebook page that was created about his campaign moves before Sata died,
It is PF government which signed the 65 year retirement age
Edgar should not brag that he released the draft constituion, that document was released immediately they had information that Sata was not going to last for hours.
Yess he is a lawyer with names and any meaning zambian can ask him why his practicing certifiate was revoked and only got it when he went to went to Ministry of Justice.
Let us vote wisley this time because we will be cursing ourselves for more economic hardship
A Moslem will never be my president over my dead body.Lungu is Moslem and we don’t want Boko Haram in Zambia.He is already threating other Zambains with arrests and deportation.
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 minerals
I will repeat what EL said, he said for the remaining term until the next elections, EL will see through MCS vision, as EL will be finishing projects that are already in progress. Come the next election EL and the PF will tell you what EL’s and the PF’S vision is. The PF is not about the vision of one person, but that of the whole party. When you talk about HH’s vision, are you telling me that all the other members of his party had no input in what you call HH’s vision? If you tell me that the other members of the party had no input into his so called vision, then I understand why UPND is were it is today. IN PF THE VISION WILL BE THAT OF OUR PRESIDENT AND THE PARTY AND NOT THE VISION OF ONE PERSON ALONE.
What’s special about chitimukulu.Why did PF embarrass him.Now he has come to embarrass them instead.
It was just personal difference with the late. And any personal difference gets resolved in time
Stop chastising the Mwine Lubemba Mwine Nkuni na Menshi, he is not like your chiefs in southern province. Michael Chilufya Sata was not an enemy of the Bemba BRE because that is where he traces his identity. Now hh speaks about Chief Chitimukulu as who? Henry Chanda Sosala is the Paramount Chief of the Bemba Speaking People and not tonga speaking people. OK?
Why are you not campaigning using your tonga chiefs as vehicles to win elections if they are really recognized and gazetted by the Zambian Government? Why Using our Paramount Chief Chitimukulu as a basis to gain political milage now? Please stop it.
ooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ooooooooo!!!!!!!!!oo
i have a serious question. Where is Mr. Chipimo Jr.?? He was very active few months back in politics, but from the time all this circus started he hasn’t said a word,. did he just file in his papers for elections and go back on his couch or what? This is the main reason incompetent people win sometimes, no serious contenders. i’m disappointed in Chipimo…
probably he can’t even manage 200 supporters allowed to file nomination papers!
Fred Mmembe collapsed last nite and was evacuated to hell. Before collapsing he wanted enough rope……. we gave him very strong steel cable …..
edger kachasu lungu is lost he tries to promise things which he cant do they just signed the paper allowing retirement from 55 to 65 without consulting people even though zambians opposed the move. he says he is going to listern to people why is he not listerning now. very soon he is going to he will be paying farmers earlier than pf, forgeting they are not paying farmers. . lies lies they cant just admitt that they wasted money on sata s illness and his death . lungu is not just drunkerd but a sick person as well we are tired of state furnerals its going to be meaningless to have them time and again. lets scrutinise pf statements of late you find the becoming the opposition . upnd have put you in trouble can you pay farmers before you are voted out hh hh hh faka mulilo 20 january 2015
Membe will now release all the documents that shows that Lungu is Malawian and can not stand as president.He will futher release documents that shows that Lungu has a criminal record therefore he can not file for nomination.Watch the drama.Lungu is playing with fire.
hh had a meeting in kasama while lungu had a rally in lusaka.
iwe blackbull, you are a full. your hh will never be president. and please take your hh to baber shop. kumamantisha fye lyonse??
History has proved that any politician who is an enemy to the Post News Paper cannot win the elections.
Chiluba tried and failed to win his third term bid.
Micheal Sata tried and failed to win the 2006 elections,
Rupiah Nyamasoya Banda tried and failed to win the 2011 elections,
And this time Edgar Kachasu Lungu is trying and is now headed for dust bin lose.
Come 20th January, 2015, the Post and majority Zambians will be laughing at Edgar Chibuku Lungu.
Surely you cant be at logger heads with the Post News Paper and win an election at the same time, NO. Ask Chanda Chimba and Rupiah Banda; they both threatened Mr. Mumembe, but where are they now.
Edgar Lugnu is losing to HH by a wide margin.
@James Moomba – That was the time the Post was a darling of the people. They have now become the enemy and anyone they support will be tarred with the same brush.
Hahahahahahahaha classic
The recognition of Chitimukulu should not be politicised by the PF as it is a problem they created. During the three years they have been in power the PF have shown that they have no regard for our chiefs as they have time and again interfered with the chiefs affairs.
PF you are in government.Please don’t be like you are in opposition.Can you get the money from the people who owe in taxes you have the machinery to do this.Can you recognize the paramount Chief of the Bemba Chiti Mukulu before the elections.Failure to do these then I doubt may be it is don’t kubeba
@ Katondo Boys. The viewers of LT and registered voters are quite not the same. The privileged few who access LT may not even vote in January 2015. Thus the number of viewers of LT cannot be correlated to election results sorry to say.
As a devoted Christian I can never vote for a Moslem to be president of a Christian country like Zambia.Zambia will be cursed if they vote for Lungu.
Iam a registered voter and i will be voting on the 20/01/2015 at Chilenge south high school at about 13:20 hrs if you like come and see me that day.
I is the responsibility of citizens to choose their leaders and i will not fail my country.
“…there are my parents…”
BA LT, IT’S ‘…THEY ARE…’, AND NOT, ‘…THERE ARE…’ EVERY TIME YOU WRITE THE SAME VERY BROKEN ENGLISH CONSTRUCTION WHENEVER YOU ARE REFERRING TO ‘THEY’. I HAVE ALWAYS REMINDED YOU ABOUT THIS GRAMMATICAL ERROR. I WONDER WHY YOU CAN’T CHANGE. THERE AND THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT WORDS. THERE MEANS KULYA/KUJA, WHILE THEY IS A PREAMBLE THE SENTENCE, ‘BA (THEY) FYASHI BANDI (ARE MY PARENTS). PLEASE, LEARN TO LEARN YOUR MISTAKES WHENEVER CORRECTED ESPECIALLY ON NUMEROUS TIMES.
As a strong supporter of RB, our main competition is UPND. PF is a spoiler in this election, watch the space. PF will be third. MMD or UPND will carry the day come 20th January.
POST NEWSPAPER ON FIRE COME NEXT MONTH
THE TROUBLE WITH MEMMBE IS HE USES HIS PAPER TO HAVE A GO AT HIS PERCEIVED ENEMIES. USE THE PAPER FOR PROMOTION OF CULTURE, A HEALTHY SOCIETY, ART, AND NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, ETC. NOT TO INSULT YOUR PERCEIVED ENEMIES.
@Peter
When Mmembe supported PF by insulting HH you were cheering. What has changed now?
There is no honour amongst thieves. The issue between Mmembe and PF is that of a thief disappointed by another thief.
After todays ruling, all the PF files including Lungu’s files will be laid bare for all to see.
The truth is that Edgar Lungu comes from Kapoche contituency and in particular from Chief Mwanjabantu in Petauke. He is a Nsenga from the father side. His mother is actually a Jere, that makes her a Ngoni from Luangeni. He grew up on the Copperbelt which explains his good Bemba. He is definitely not a Malawian. He is definitely also NOT a moslem. He is an Evangelical Christian what in Zambia we call a Pentecostal.
campaigning in Lusaka is not a solution, please PF go and campaign in Kirwa islands, nsumbu, mwansa-kombe, sioma ngwezi not just mansa ,mandevu and mongu.The conclusion is PF is losing these elections because they have no strategy.Can you imagine you have only 35 days left if I subtract the filing week it means only 3 weeks and some days! Look at the front runner HH he is winding up Northern and Luapula tomorrow.Remember the elections are not for mandevu constituency but for the whole country!!!!!!!!!!!
True Lungu has no time, in fact he has less than 35 days because he can only campaign weekends. He is yet to go on leave and that is if the boss grants him permission. But will Kambwili, Kalaba, Kapata, Wina and Luo take leave to go and campaign with him? I doubt!
masses are in urban areas
Once again Lungu missed the opportunity to articulate policy matters when addressing rally in Mandevu. He talked about Mmembe and avoided policy issues such as high levels of un employment, high interest rates, domestic and external debt, maternal mortality etc . I am worried this Lungu has no idea what it means to be a republican President. Clearly this country will be on its high way to serfdom under Lungu administration.
He did address that
The post has to quickly find an ally. They either have to reconcile with RB or HH and or apologise to EL or be mute. things do not seem to well. Sampa is not going anywhere.
Edgar Lungu, we now know what he brings to the role.
Edgar Lungu, has initiated, integrity in Office. Clean politics and a Leader who rules by mandate agreed with his cabinet and approved by the people.
Collecting taxes is a winner. Cleaning up Zambian politics is a winner.
In a few hours, I am expecting our capable Judiciary to clear the path for lungu to lead without Scott et al challenges. We need the Judiciary to be incisive enough to cut out conflict. There is no sense to the Sampa appeal. The Supreme Court should not award cases to Contemptuous politicians. It is not reasonable, to stop all this progress with Lungu, to replace it with confusion and open PF fights again. People have had enough of the PF legal Saga and Christmas is near.
@20Patriot Abroad, if indeed you live in USA as your flag suggests, then use your exposure and experience in USA to comment responsibly. Let’s be clear and not mislead readers: There is NO INTEGRITY in promising to continue following Sata’s legacy of lying, deceiving, and misusing power and public funds. Period. You wouldn’t last 5 minutes in USA politics with that legacy and you know it, so why are you advocating such a sick legacy of your mother Country?
The writing is on the wall,to use Jose Mourinho words,” HH is a specialty in failure!” Thrice he has failed and already flight HH2015 is on a nose dive, all on board prepare for IMPACT CRASH!
Tell me how Lungu will win.He is supposed to work from Monday to Friday and campaign on week ends.How many week ends are remaining from today and 20th January,2015.Only three and Zambia is big bane .Zambia is not mandevu.He must be care full not involve those cadres he is carrying in Buses in an accident that will expose him badly.
When were you born? Do your have any idea how many times sata tried before he was elected president?
When were you born? Do you have any idea how many times sata tried before he was elected president?
Zambians are just about to put in a Muslim as a leader of Christian Nation.
In one breath you say EL is a drunkard and in the next you say EL is a Moslem. From your writing I understand, your education back ground is limited. Do a bit of research, Moslems are not allowed to drink alcohol or any intoxicating drinks. Since you know EL very well, which mosque does he attend for his prayers on Fridays. I hear HH is a free mason, can you confirm this?
I wonder why EL was trying so hard to speak bemba at the rally when he was insisting that PF is not a bemba party. Secondly, he is not bemba and Lusaka is definitely not a bemba area. But why struggle speaking bemba. Is it because he knows that it is the MOST influencial language. He had earlier promised to speak in lozi, tonga, bisa etc but no. That didn’t happen. And I remember his wife (After seeing that HH is now using his wife) was also at pains speaking bemba and at one point told us that she was not bemba..Then why speak bemba.
EL had nothing new to tell us apart from rebuttal what HH has been campaigning all along. I now question his aides and personal assistants. These guys are wrongly advising him and killing him softly. They are embarrassing the man.
You are lying, it is Lungu’s wife who spoke in Bemba at the Kitwe launch. We only saw Mrs HH at a rally in Lusaka at the weekend. Atase she Mrs HH is so ugly and not a first-lady material. Yuckkkkk
Lungu was born and bred on the Copperbelt, that is the reason why he speaks so well in the superior language of Bemba. Why are you surprised that even most of you blogging here do not use Tonga to insult, it is because it is a lousy cow dung language while Bemba is romantic. Kikikikiki
All what he is saying is HH’s manifesto unfortunately, there is nothing new. VIVA HH.
Congrats to PF for beating up M’membe’s evil journalists!they report lies about Edgar Lungu and we wonder why the post hate him!we cant be M’membe’s slaves.why should we only follow what he wants to protect his habit of not paying tax?wanya ka M’membe IFINTU NI LUNGU”.we shall vote for EL to shame u and your evil paper!am glad that your paper sales are down bcoz many of us EL lovers dont buy it!Guy Scott is blindly following this evil Fred!but we’re not worried since we vote alone and we’ll vote in large numbers for EL to shame all his enemies!when God says YES no man can say NO!
If your last name does not end with A, you will never be president of Zambia.
Kaunda
Chiluba
Mwanawasa
Banda
Sata
Therefor Hichilema wins!
viva EL,president for life…
@Katondo boys,
we are following edgar so much because we want to see anything new these guys will say. we want to see how far their lies will go.
dont be cheated, you will also see HH’s rally in mandevu soon and you will be chocked
@20Patriot Abroad, if indeed you live in USA as your flag suggests, then use your exposure and experience in USA to comment responsibly. Let’s be clear and not mislead readers: There is NO INTEGRITY in promising to continue following Sata’s legacy of lying, deceiving, and misusing power and public funds. Period. You wouldn’t last 5 minutes in USA politics with that legacy and you know it, so why are you advocating such a sick legacy of your mother Country? Got a US passport now, and you are wishing ill of your roots in Zambia?
HH is the best of all candidates. He offers hope, he offers fresh beginning, he offers Zambia Unite. HH is the only true hope for Zambians and even our wise and principled Acting President knows this fact and in a way he has been pointing the nation to this direction. The Acting President is great but he is in wrong company. HH, true son of the soil, a patriotic son of Africa, the gallant son of our motherland, be rest assured that the whole country is behind u. Pls the whole country knows u as a hard worker. Do not at any point in time let us down. Consider reintroducing ZNS, ZCF, & let us up our stake in mining companies. Companies with Zambian stake in them should be paying corp. tax @ 20%. This will encourage partnerships with Zambians. Go son of our motherland. Africa is…
What evidence can HH show the zambian people is it not not only tribalism and hatred for bembas, and stealing from zambians , what else he has done nothing for zambia but plunder
Moomba correction post in 2001 did not support Mwanawasa but Mazoka and the later still lost. so it is not true that if the post doesnot support you the person loses
Do u guy work am sure that y u support hh woo his money is not clean ,freemanson not in Zambia God is in control,don’t worry come 20 .
wait and see ,am sure u know that the children fond at HH rally are not voters, i was there and saw big people who came for serious bussiness.watch the space,you changing names and u are the same person with HH setiments.20 jan will tell .
VOTE EDGER LUNGU
ifintu ni lungu
Please my servant I need a cup of tea.
Perfectionist
El & PF2015
Edgar lungu is carrying the day,whether you like it or not.All the rallies your HH has conducted can be added together and can’t march the numbers to pfs mandevu rally,and all those bemba rallies you are seeing cant make a mistake of voting for a tonga man.
To ask you a simple question,In what things have tongas helped bembas? They always vote for HH,so tongas this time vote for Edgar and proof that you are not tribal. U wakako takaleka bane cenjeleni HH tefintu.
Ba UPND naimwe, opposing everything? Who doesn’t know that this huge rally is because of PF’s popularity in our motherland Zambia? Sunday was a rainy and very wet day in Lusaka and many PF members didn’t even attend the rally, but see the turn out? It sends a very clear message that Haikavotela Heka is wasting his time flying on borrowed money.
Ba Edgar is the next President of Zambia in a few days’ time.
Viva Edgar!!!!!!
This is what you consider Presidential Material?? Check this out, he says above: “..He added, ‘Let me tell you a secret, when I was appointed S.G, I went to meet the boss and I asked him about the Chitimukulu issue and he told me that it was being resolved..” Unless if you should tell me that he is just hallucinating.
I was eagerly waiting for this homosexual at 36 bwinjimfumu to scream with another “ITS BAD” headline today but it seems after yesterday’s Mandevu rally reality has dawned on him/her that Edgar and PF are no match for whoever he is supporting whether hh, miles or kabimba.
Talk about a riff-raff for president! This is classic! I can’t believe that EL was such a dumb disciple of Sata. He remains a shadow of the departed president. Why can’t he be a man of himself by himself and through himself and assert his own legacy? What a tragedy.
Did you hear her EngliTonga. She sounds Tongashi when speaking English. She cant match Ester Lungu.
Amongst the Presidential candidates campaigning Lungu is the most honest.
Zambia has a well defined investment programme that started with UNIP and yes UNIP. Over the time there has
been a process of validavalidation to suit the time. That’s why in the region
Zambia has remained an investment model in the region and to an extent Africa.
That’s why Investors favour Zambia to be an organised society with well defined structure at all spheres.
@ Derick factors i do not agree with your assertions of honest and Zambia being a model of investment in Africa. First EL is on record to uphold Sata’s legacy; which legacy does not recognise the current chitimuklulu. So how is he honesty if today he tries to distance himself from the policy that he upheld in the first place?
In terms of investment; Zambia’s first tier capital stock of natural resources is under utilised ie idle arable land and water bodies. Second tier of capital stock of infrastructure ie factories, roads, rails has depreciated. keep 2 things in mind; replacement and net investment. Zambia needs investment that makes good depreciation of current capital stock and increases the level. eroded capital means gross investment is less than replacement investment. model?
If PF were already resolving the Chitimukulu issue, why did Lungu and his PF keep quiet. Remember Sosala was even rem as Senior Chief by PF! Lungu talks as if he does not belong to PF and the vision and practices of Sata. This is cheap politics. Lungu failed to give the road map for the constitution in parliament when MPs moved a private members bill. So how come he now has a road map ( before 2016)?
Viva HH and UPND.Whether PF supports like it or not HH is next Zambian President came after 20 January elections .VIVA HH2015
