rally in Choma

UPND Spokesperson and Choma MP Cornelius Mweetwa has categorically denied the existence of a song called ‘Mu Bemba ngu satani (a Bemba is a devil)’. I a statemennt released to the media today, Mr Mweetwa said that all UPND Mps have consulted on the song anc concluded that it the reports about it were falsehood designed to diminish the standing of the UPND.

Yesterday, MMD acting national trustee Elizabeth Chitika-Molobeka said that that UPND should not to be quick to condemn her over her tribal remarks when they were the biggest culprits of pushing the tribal agenda in their villages.

“In Southern Province, they have composed a song in which they are saying ‘Mu Bemba ngu satani (a Bemba is a devil)’. This is a tribal song preaching hatred. All campaign posters for non-Tonga candidates are being pulled down, including for the ruling party,” she stated.

Below is the full letter from Mr Mweetwa

I Cornelius Mweetwa MP for Choma Central and UPND Deputy Spokesperson am dismayed to hear about the accusations being purported across sections of the media concerning an alleged song in which Bembas are discriminated against in the Tonga language.

This rumour has been met with grave concern by my fellow MPs in Southern Province. We have all consulted on the matter and concluded that these reports are falsehoods designed to diminish the standing of the UPND and in turn denigrate our clear message of a United Zambia.

Even though this claim is clearly untrue and has no link to the UPND party it raises an issue that all Zambians regardless of tribe, province or political affiliation must remain vigilant against: that of tribalism.

We in the UPND do not condone any format of discrimination; racism or tribalism and we expect the same standards in the other parties who we will compete against in January’s election.

As UPND and our party President Hakainde Hichilema, we have continued to preach the message of unity and hope with the foundations being on an issue-based campaign: this message has so far been accepted countrywide.

Signed,

Cornelius Mweetwa MP,
Deputy Spokeperson of the UPND

    • @ndobo kikkiki… Some songs you only hear them mu chibuku. You can’t believe how that Lungu sings. He likes “nalibombele, nalikele mwisho. ….. saulosi! Abe! Wamonapo imshi.. Namonapo inshima”

    • Maureen Mwanawasa meets Fred Mmembe.
      Former First Lady Maureen Mwanawasa on Friday 26th December 2014, took time to meet Post Editor Fred Mmembe. Maureen who arrived at the Post premises at 15:30 stayed on until 17:15hrs.
      Maureen is suspected to have gone to plead for political space for the UPND and Hakainde Hichilema.
      Maureen was driving a Toyota Hilux ALZ 1096

      I THANK YOU

    • So the UPND and those who support them should not start celebrating. The Patriotic Front is certainly weakened but not out of the race. Of course, a lot of work is still required by Edgar and his team to win this election. It is not going to be a walkover. Equally, the UPND needs to do a lot to win, but it is an uphill battle. The time may be too short for them to broaden their support base beyond their Bantustan. Theirs was a region-based political party, with most of its votes coming from Southern Province. To change that pattern overnight, in less than three months, is not going to be easy. Yes, they have assembled a motley assortment of contradictory elements from here and there to try and give them a national character. But the question is: what political clout do those elements they…

    • The dullest law student in UNZA’s history Chi Cornelius Mweetwa..what a liar and a cretin combined, this song of theirs is further proof of UPND’s tribalist and true satanic nature..Zambians will never vote for such animals..

      ****VIVA EDGAR LUNGU 2015****

    • We were ONE then, and we are ONE again. The PF train is in full steam, no one will get in the way of Zambians having a better Zambia, a more developed and modern Zambia. We the PF are capable of making a better Zambia for all. I must say it feels good to have all my colleagues in the same boat.
      Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I spent time with my lovely children.
      Remember on the 20th January “ifintu ni Lungu”

      2015 VOTE PF(EDGAR)

      I THANK YOU

    • “We in the UPND do not condone any format of discrimination; racism or tribalism…”

      THIS LIE IS AS CLEAR AS IT IS CLEAR THAT UPND IS RACIAL AND TRIBAL. CORNELIUS HOW CAN YOU EASILY FORGET HOW HH ASSUMED PARTY PRESIDENCY? GUY SCOTT HIMSELF HAS SUFFERED RACIAL ABUSE FROM YOUR OWN PRESIDENT, HH. WOMEN HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY ARE ONLY FIT FOR THE KITCHEN AND ‘BEDROOM’ BY YOUR OWN PRESIDENT. THE LATE MICHAEL SATA AND THE BEMBAS THEMSELVES HAVE MANY TIMES BEEN CALLED SATANI IN ALL ELECTRONIC MEDIA INCLUDING THIS ONE BY BLOGGERS. IF THAT CAN DONE ON PAPER SINGING A SONG WOULD BE VERY EASY. YOU GUYS IN UPND DO NOT ENCOURAGE TRIBAL AND RACIAL STATEMENTS BY YOUR MEMBERS. YOU MAY NOT GOVERN THE COUNTRY IF YOU HAD TO WIN ANY ELECTION IN FUTURE FOR WHICH I VERY MUCH DOUBT.

    • hehhehehe……Sondani muzalema. Yesterday it was about SOURCE of funding, today its BACK AGAIN on tribe. Wht do u WANT FROM TONGA’s please tell me madam Chitika ?

      Whether u like it or NOT UPND is winning this ELECTION with a LANDSLIDE. UPND will win 67%

    • This Elizabeth Chitika is not even bemba and yet she is promoting hatred between bambas and tongas. What a rubbish woman. She is such an evil woman!

    • UPND DONT REFUSE YOUR TRIBE MEN AND WOMEN ARE SAYING BEMBAS ARE SATANS. WE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN CAUGHT PANTS DOWN ON THIS ONE. WE ARE YOU THAT TONGAS ARE TRIBALIST THAT WHY YOU SHALL NEVER RULE THIS COUNTRY.

    • Stop, stop, stop! Let’s get the FACTS right about this tribalism, this is a world of numbers:
      How many Tongas are in PF Cabinet? How many Tongas are Directors of State-owned Companies? how many Tongas are in Zambia’s foreign service Missions? How many Tongas are Directors in government? Etc.. Now compare that number with Bembas. So for Sata and PF to have most of these roles occupied by Bembas and mostly Sata’s FAMILY it’s not tribalism and nepotism? Come on Zambians we are too smart for this. The only way to separate the two front runners HH and Lungu is to get them to debate their election agendas on live TV. Bring it one!!

    • full of hate. Wake up. U are still sleeping. Cant you that you are sinking.. people don’t realize that they are falling until they reach the ground

  3. if its proved to be true then upnd deserve to be deregistered as it is a danger to the peace and unity that we have enjoyed as a country.

    • Why don’t you begin with PF which has irrefutable evidence of spewing vitriol at a campaign rally?

      It seems to me that PF has nothing to sell but waving the tribal card, a product of their own invention.

      They have no economic management strategy, no vision, and above all no plan to sell to the Zambian people.

      We now know that Bishop Chomba was staged. He could not have just run up to the platform, grab a mic and start insulting the opposition leader when he was not on the program. Oh. it is PF we are talking about, no program!

    • @gregoli, you are a fool and a moron.Why don’t you demand the preregistration of MMD for having one of it members in Elizabeth Chitika get tribal in front of party president Nevers Mumba? For all I know, if such a song exists, PF or MMD are composing and recording it

    • Iwe was the song composed by UPND party?
      The Don’t Kubeba song was truly a pf campaign song,so what.
      If the song exists then ask the group why they composed it

  4. Bemba and PF bloggers, have wisdom and decency to debate on real issues.

    Bembas are everywhere present in Southern Province as citizens of Zambia mainly trading in all markets from Kafue to Kasaya and fishing along all river and water bodies. Courtesy of the hospitality of their compatriots, the Tonga.

    • @siamanengo and so to are my Tonga brothers that are buying huge tracts of land for farming in Northern, Muchinga and Luapula so courtesy of their hosts and compatriots the people of these Provinces so please be fair as Zambia is for all Zambians, there are probably more Tongas living in these Northern provinces than there are Bemba speaking people in Southern province! Fact!!!

    • Siamanengo

      Not all Tongas are bad…just like any other tribe…. the only issue is that Southerners think if you oppose HH then you are anti Tonga and that’s wrong.HH is a Politician and he is definitely a hero to some and villain to others.

      It’s about time our Tonga brothers and sisters understand that being anti UPND is not anti Tonga.

      2015 vote PF ( Edgar )

      I thank you

    • This Elizabeth Chitika is not even bemba and yet she is stirring hatred between bambas and tongas. What a rubbish woman. She is such an evil woman!

  5. I have taken time today to listen to the 4.40minutes controversial song created by Larry Mweetwa. I think I speak excellent Tonga, excellent Bemba and excellent Nyanja. There is nothing tribal about this song. Listening to the song in question, nowhere does it criticise other tribes nor a mention of Bemba. In fact now I understand why some people are jittery about this song, Larry is encouraging voters in Mansa, Kasama, Mongu, Solwezi and southern Province to vote for Hakaimbe in the forthcoming by-election and that they will not regret it and will definitely thank their lucky stars. In the song, Larry also talks about how dilapidated our schools are, he says the hospitals are in poor state too. Apart from the powerful message for the voters, the song is good to the ear too.

    • No that’s the tribalism its curtesy of Zafmbia not Tongas …. No Zambian is more than other HoH included…. Tongas stop being tribal, it’s foolishness

    • Do you have an electronic copy somewhere for us to listen to? We trust what you are saying but we would rather verify!

    • So the song actually exists even if this UPND MP from Choma is denying it. Please show your respect to other tribes as we are One Zambia One Nation and don’t belittle us Bembas.

    • BAMAYO BE CHITIKA, WE AGREE WITH YOU THAT THE SONG IS THERE EVEN HH KNOWS THIS BUT BECAUSE THIS UPND CHAPS ARE LIERS THEY WILL CONTINUE TO REFUSE THE USELESS CHAPS ARE THE MUTATIS, NALUMANGOS, AND THE MUCHELEKAS WHO ARE BUSY SUPPORTING A TRIBE PARTY. BE CAREFUL YOU ARE BEING USED AS PORNS. BY THE WAY MMD MPS ARE SO INDISPLINED

  6. It is not wise for UPND to rush at defending existence of this song without facts. How about if it is proved that the song is their? The best was for them to say, if such a song is their, we are not part of it.

  7. Can we just have this song put up online so we can all listen to it & make up our own minds? It is the clearest & most honest way to deal with this issue, just release the song! Play it on the radio given there is nothing wrong about it!

  8. Same old and tired tribal cliché . PF is a bunch of people with small brains. They failed to match HH`s caliber on debating real economic and social issues so they turned to tribalism. This time around your tribalism tag won`t work.

    • PF Has done better than UPND they have reigned Zambia UPND has never and the continue to stick to HH a leader who has failed

    • @Kay the Zambian,,,,what language do you speak in Canada? Apparently it is not english. French maybe? Try writing in Nyanja muna! It is easier.

    • @8, DRAW A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEORY AND PRACTICE. ONE CAN BE VERY GOOD IN DEBATE BUT PRACTICALLY DUMB/FROZEN. IN DEBATE DEBATERS ONLY EXHIBIT BIG WORDS THEY LEARNED AT SCHOOL NOT HOW THEY ACTUALLY PERFORMED IN VARIOUS SUBJECTS. HAVING SAID THAT I HAVE MET VERY FEW PEOPLE WHO ARE BOTH EXCELLENT ORATORS AND DOERS. THE BEST EXAMPLE IS THE LATE MICHAEL CHILUFYA SATA WHO COULD DEBATE WITH ANYONE AT ANY LEVEL WHILE HE STILL PERFORMS.

    • @blago I remember you cretin from your insults towards the late HEMCS (MHSRIP), you are a typical senseless, brainless, tribalist parasite and when someone calls you and your fellow tribalists satanists for your comments and attitude towards other well meaning Zambians you fail lamentably to debate real issues and resort to insults, and this is actually good because Zambians that are new to this website now see how evil minded you UPND chaps are, imagine a nation rulled by tribalists such as this blago mindlesscretin, Zambia would be plunged into war because of such retards as blago..Zambians say no as is clearly evident from the skeleton crowds that now attend Halenya Halenya’s rallys, Zambians know better than to trust HH!

      ***VIVA EDGAR LUNGU 2015 & 2016***

  9. Same old and tired tribal cliché . PF is a bunch of people with small brains. They`ve failed to match HH`s caliber on debating real economic and social issues so they turned to tribalism. This time around your tribalism tag won`t work

    • In case u can not read its English, the most neutral Language in Zed….and no PF members do not have small brains, that’s why they are the ruling party not UPND

  11. UPND will never rule this nation because of the tribe .The time of Mazoka the party was at pick we voted for this party but after he died it is a sad story. May his soul rest in peace. TONGA.TONGA.TONGA in this party ,iam sorry for you, you have eyes but you can not see.

    • You don’t recognize that as being tribalism.

      FACT: Family treee.

      EL is Sata’s nephew. He and Mulenga Sata are first cousins.

  12. why should we allow such stiupidity from a party of extremist infidels calling themselves upnd? just reject them at the polls and send them to dumnation never to rule among us the civilized. these people, they are so hateful

    • Permalink reason do not insult it shows how shallow minded you and UPND are… Anyway PF is above your reasoning. I am sure you will pile more insult on the blogs instead of reason… Typical of HH and company

  13. Top secret. HH is going to declare Saturday holy Sabath day no shops opening, banks, malls all will be closing on Saturday according to the meeting took place in chisanga between hh and Dr Akombwa of seventh day Adventist.(SDA)

  14. Chitika vomited lots of tribal rubbish in Kasama, it’s pf and mmd tricks to win election by cheating pipo. Come rain UPND is winning the election on 20 Jan. HH is the ONLY leader to liberate zambia from pf,born liars. GBM and Sampa will soon endorse HH and mount big campaign for HH in Northern province.

  15. Bunch of bull crap. Who do you think you are. Imagine! You are saying that we are mentaliy challenged when you are miles away from the corridoes of power..ngamwati muteke, Thats why God will not allow satan to rule. Only and only satan will vote for the devil. Waumfwa!

  17. Felix Mutati and Mutale Nalumango how are you? you have made Tongas to insult Bembas becoz there is no way you can join pipo who clearly said that they hate Bembas. All the same we are helping you by not voting HH. other tribes lets save Bembas

    UPND IS NOW PANICKING…..SENSING DEFEAT

    2015 VOTE PF(EDGAR)

    I THANK YOU

    • This Elizabeth Chitika is not even bemba and yet she is stirring hatred between bambas and tongas. What a rubbish woman. She is such an evil woman!

  19. No worries. My anti human song will hit the airwaves in 2015.

    Humans – haven’t got a clue
    Humans – won’t know what to do
    When us aliens take over the earth
    We will prevent all other human birth

    I am an alien
    Bug eyed, smart and green
    I am an alien… Bla bla bla
    Chileya…auto tune…robot voice

    Naughty people do naughty things. Smart people know that the song if it exists (which it does) was made by someone naughty and out to make mischief. Rise above before the other tribal tunes hit the airwaves in a full out nonsensical retaliation. And yes. All versions will be from the same studio that makes all the music in Zed sound the same. Chuckle.

  20. the evil spirit of satanism has surfaced during campaigns for the first time in Zambia’s history simply because (HH) is a contender. we need to restore order to the political scene by rejecting (HH) all the time. reject his evil and hatred. we need a delilah to cut his Afro bald and expose his Masonic tattoos. Canisius Banda was also initiated what a shame!

    • You have a short memory. When Kaunda was being removed accusations of satanism abounded. There was the UNIP symbol of the Hoe being compared to Heaven On Earth. And Etc etc

    • Come to think of it, it was Sata who was obsessed with people without hair. Are you abandoning his legacy now?

      Laughable visionless people!

    • You are a tribal party admit it…..and you want to smear it on Tongas. It’s not going to work bane!

      Panicking! Get your candidate on the road to meet the people. Insele twakana!

      Let’s play it clean. Zambia niyatu tonse!

  22. (HH) is capable of forcing his Masonic beliefs on the citizenry and changing Zambia into a Masonic state. we’ve seen him sell mines at poultry sums therefore he’s capable of making us dance to the tune of imperialist western interests. this badala spews lies and his upnd herds believe him. (HH) is a puke vomit not even my dog can consume. i’m still trying to find an animal lower than a dog which can vote for this (HH)

    • This Elizabeth Chitika is not even bemba and yet she is stirring hatred between bambas and tongas. What a rubbish woman. She is such an evil woman!

  24. For mweetwa to answer you must be 100% sure the song is there and it was sang by the guy who sang ‘Cheta ngu cheta’

  25. When I said HH was a satanist people from that side never condemned me it had to take the Vice President the acting president to apologise to the UPND

  26. Minimum interest in whether there’s a loony toon out there……yawn….PF you’re so transparent….yawn.

    I WANT A LIVE DEBATE!!!

    sing whatever you want but I WANT A LIVE DEBATE!

  27. The Presidency is going to an Easterner, the most neutral of Zambians, thank goodness. Tongas and their cousins the Bembas are the most tribalistic Zambians.

  28. We want this Elizabeth Chitika to bring forth the song failure to that she must be taken to court by UPND Secretary General as the first complainant.The real issue here is that such a song is not there & this spinster wants to vent her anger to UPND as most of the MPs from MMD have left to campaign for UPND.These compulsions from this spinster maoron should be taken in with some pinch of salt.She is a failure together with Mumba & have a folked tongue.She is a disgrace to the women folk just like Dora!

  29. Her failure to interplate the message from the purported song shouldn’t be used as an excuse.We respect women & they too should remember that they have a duty to be responsible in whatever theý do & say in public as such outbursts have potential to case anarchy & genocide.

    • This Elizabeth Chitika is not even bemba and yet she is stirring hatred between bambas and tongas. What a rubbish woman. She is such an evil woman!

    • BA CHITIKA MAY NOT BE BEMBA BUT UPND IS SO TRIBAL WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, WHAT ABOUT AFTER THE DEATH OF MAZOKA WHAT WERE BEING TOLD?

  30. Due to the pressure of anxiety and also lack of experience UPND has begun to commit political blunders as a consequence it has permitted PF to regroup and surpass them as rightly observed The Post editorial.
    In insisting to portrayed their party as national instead they are being exposed. The all strategy appears…like lipsticking a pig. They are better of not commenting about and leave it mother nature.

    • First of all, there is no such thing as pressure of anxiety.
      Second, PF is preoccupied with talking about HH and UPND.
      Third, PF leader Edgar (it has fallen) Lungu is sweating! See for yourself:

  31. Chitika is the worst tribalist. The truth with this woman is that she has so much hatred for the Lozis , because of her bad relationship with the Mabenga family. You remember one of Chitika`s relatives murdered Mabenga`s and the Chitikas tried to cover it up but it never worked. Her hatred for the Lozis has now extended to Tongas. Chitika is not even bemba after-all, and yet she is using the bemba tribe to advance her mean-spirited interests.

  32. Ilas sold their cows to sponsor KK & etel to got to UK in the pre-Independence. Mainza Chona handed over presidency to KK. Lawrence Katilungu (a bemba) was the first Namwala MP. Nkumbula heeded the KK’s one party plea. In 1991 & 1996 FTJ won in ALL polling stations in Southern Province. Currently L/stone MP is PF. I have searched and I like the. people of Southern province. For them only quality matters.

  34. Ba Zambia cinshi mulefwaya-tulefwaya ng’ombe mu cairo(NEVER)-icilema icilema-alete ng’ombe mu cairo!THIS IS A NEW UPND SONG!HEY PEOPLE DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND ENERGY ON TRIBAL HH AND HIS TEAM!I PITY FELIX MUTATI AND MUTALE NALUMANGO FOR SUPPORTING HH WHO CAN NEVER BACK THEM IF THEY TRY TO STAND ON TONGAS PARTY UPND!this tells you why UPND wanted Miles Sampa on PF so that PF can seem tribal like their party but us Bembas only wanted to support a non bemba!SO EDGAR LUNGU IS ALREADY A WINNER!LETS ALL UNIT BEHIND EL AND HARD WORKING PF!

  36. Another tedious UPND campaign agenda. We know you guys are tribal because they only ever vote for HH.

    STOP TRYING TO BE CLEVER. We are able to see through your strategies to get past the tribal and mason it’s tag.

  37. Sondani muzalema. Yesterday it was about SOURCE of funding, today its BACK AGAIN on tribe. Wht do u WANT FROM TONGA’s please tell me madam Chitika ?

    Whether u like it or NOT UPND is winning this ELECTION with a LANDSLIDE. UPND will win 67%

    • Anderson Chisala

      “Sondani muzalema” have you lived in Pemba before?..ka accent boss…

      Why can’t you blog with your real name Anthony Hachiswenya?

      2015 vote PF ( Edgar )

      I thank you

  38. @eddy-lungu is unwell.HH will definitely win!Do political science & you will improve on your poor political analysis.This manufactured tale from this disgruntled & despondent spinster Chitika in remnant MMD won’t change anything! I keep on telling you to move in the field & hear what many people have resolved.Try to ask yourself why seasoned pro-PF bloggers have stopped siding with your PF. Move around & see for yourself.As it is now-there’s no stronghold for PF.Just continue blindly blogging.Moreover you have remained with only 19days of yapping! Make hey when grass is still green!

    • The Civilized sam

      You trying very hard to sound funny my friend but can’t you see that it’s not working……….

      On January 22. ..am sure you won’t be on Lusaka times.

      2015 vote PF ( Edgar )

      I thank you

  40. Anderson Chisala- supporting anything that creates hatred, tribalism or anarchy is beyond common sense. Zambians are more than tribes as such anything that does not bond us together as to be condemned with the energy it deserves. If the song is there and Mwitwa deny its existence it leaves bad taste for UPND . Technology has improved and someone may have a song

    • Pafwenamwine

      Ignore Anderson Chisala………he knows DNPU is losing the elections.

      …..and he is using a Bemba name as a cover up

      2015 vote PF ( Edgar )

      I thank you

  41. This Elizabeth Chitika is not even bemba and yet she is stirring hatred between bambas and tongas. What a rubbish woman. She is such an evil woman!

  42. Remember a shadowy group called “Tonga under oaths”? This was secretly hatched by Late Sakeni, Miles Sampa, GBM and supported by Charity Katanga. It was claimed that the group was a Tonga guerilla movement that was hell bent on eliminating all Bembas and that they had already poisoned a Bemba baby.
    All means were employed by the above to link it to HH and UPND and that its operational base was Mazabuka. Charity Katanga ZP commissioner for Lusaka province confirmed that they were ‘closing’ in on the group.
    It had to take Sata at a swearing in ceremony to dismiss the existence of the group which his own Ministers and Police believed it existed.
    If this song exists,its the doing of this deranged woman to justify her claims about Tongas.
