PATRIOTIC Front (PF) spokesperson, Given Lubinda, says the party has already identified six of its members to sit on the National Constitutional Conference (NCC), in the hope that consensus on the outstanding issues in the NCC Act will be reached before participants start sitting.
Early this month, the PF held a central committee meeting in Lusaka at which it resolved to boycott the NCC and did not nominate any members for appointment to sit on the NCC.
Mr Lubinda said in an interview in Lusaka yesterday that the party had also allowed its councillors to identify potential representatives to the conference.
He said PF attached great importance to the Constitution-making process and that it was therefore still willing to dialogue.
“The party has already identified the six representatives at national party level to sit on the NCC.
We have also allowed our councillors to identify potential representatives because we believe, and we have high expectation that our views will be heard and addressed before the conference,†Mr Lubinda said.
He said the party believed that the Constitution-making process was a serious matter and that in the name of building consensus, Government would sooner rather than later agree to sit down with those who oppose some sections of the NCC Act.
Mr Lubinda said it was important for stakeholders to agree on the NCC Act as they all hoped to reap benefits from the gathering by coming up with a constitution that would stand the test of time.
He said the party would not lose hope even after the statement by acting Chief Government Spokesperson, George Mpombo, last week in which Government ruled out any amendments to the NCC Act.
Mr Lubinda said in the name of building consensus, President Mwanawasa should consider the concerns being raised on the contents of the NCC Act.
RB FORESEES PF DISINTEGRATION
VICE-President Rupiah Banda has foreseen the disintegration of the Patriotic Front (PF) because its leaders have allegedly been spending most of their time preaching hatred and dividing Zambians.He said the MMD would launch the disintegration of the PF by defeating the opposition political party in the Nchanga Parliamentary by-election set for November 8, 2007.
What has PF u turned from as far as we know they have had no permanent position as regards the NCC.
anything to do with sata is BULSHIT- FINISH.
They are finished, now they have seen Zambians will not go back. After LPM has recieved recognition international because of soft and good leadership.
Sata is a great leader. He listens to the concerns of the pipo,making a u turn is an indication of a people’s leader. How many leaders can boast of listening to the pipo? Brothers Easy # 4 and GK # 3 it is not a question of being finished what PF has exhibited are attributes of a people’s party.If PF was adamant , you will be the first to cry dictatorship but now when concerns are addressed you are still not happy.
I meant to say anything to do with LPM is BULSHIT- FINISH.
There is money to be made if you attend NCC and Sata’s cohorts want a share. they really do not have any principled position as regards the NCC.
I think it is a welcome move for the PF. Sata may have a point afterall.Well said TBOZ it is a rare occurence for an African Leader to make a u turn especially if it is the pipo;s will.Bane it is not always about the money or principle like # 7 is sugesting, sometimes it is what party members want. Congratulation Mr. Sata you are a true leader.I wish your party good luck with the Nchanga elections
PF seem to be showing signs of maturity,it is a good sign and we wish the NCC good luck .
Forward with PF .
Flip floppers are more dangerous than those who unwittingly error in policy. Throughout our political history, Sata has never stood on anything of principles but gamble and frames. He says he is an anti Western imperialism and a diehard Mugabe protégé yet he runs to the west to demonize Mugabe’s allies. He flips flops after realizing that the MMD is a focused administration without a heart for childish and xenophobic rhetoric. Mugabe must be laughing at this visionless trolling man-porn for in
Atase tu ma PF Cadres were on record condeming the NCC and now they have turned and they are praising SATA and the party , what a group of hippocrites !!!! Cheap politiking!!!!! you have have guts…..
Is Lubinda speaking with his boss’s permission?
Looking at Sata’s Sata xenophobic behavior, I implore that substantial support be given to the pro-democracy camp in PF standing up to the man’s xenophobic and tribalistic politics of no future. Lets prepare for PF “A†and “B†camps as time writes Sata in the archives of sanity.
Lubinda is tired of Sata’s futureless insanity and has opted for redemption of a progressive camp. The best you could do is foster such pro-democracy camps and leave Sata and Joze dancing bump dance in dreams. I have a formular and experience to finish hate cell groups PF has become.
Ndife,
I said it here that the way forward is with my Online “New Generation Party”. I have equally been defeated beyond pretense. MMD must be truly set up for the 27 year rule jokingly announced here by FACT unless I’m supported in challenging them rhetorically.
Ba Sata ni shimbi ni shimba pa Zed political arena. His presentation at Havard University was well articulated with no hiccups or ukupwilila pakulanda and he answered all the questions asked.(Visit bbc network Africa & type in the box “sata*china†to watch the one hr script)
#11 iwe Fact

Kasako ukubika dancing ya bump dance in dream than ukukolopa ilenda lya chipumputu mu reality.
# 15,
So you mean sata and joze will remain the only ones in PF ukulaikwenya amatako in bump dance? That is bump dance while singing baKaunda balikanya ukushana bump dance, shindee…shindelele shinde, shindelele shide.I know Sata likes that nosence you seem to know him better than Joze.
# 17:Ba Jose
I can’t find anything about Sata on the BBC’s Network Africa website. Can you give me a direct link or the exact heading and date it was posted?
Much appreciated!!
Myself,
You know abasungu. They don’t retain nonsense for long especially that from known opportunistic caricatures. They know Sata as a very imbalanced fool without principles.This is a fool who hardly 2 months ago was busy denouncing Changirai’s opposition to Mugabe that he is a stooge of the West after their cramps.They invited him to lively record his foolishness as a way of blackmailing him in his few months.
#Citizen,
You know whatt? I don’t understand why Zambians have this tendency of calling people they differ with in opinion, fools! I mean, You never hear of such words in the political or economic arenas of the developed world. Iam not a fun of Sata or any Political figure in Zambia for that matter, but such language exhibits high levels of backwardness. So, if you are a better alternative, why don’t you prove yourself on the ground than making such ugly noise in writing?
Chiluba’s application rejected
The Lusaka High Court has rejected an application by Second Republican President, Frederick Chiluba and three others to set aside a London High Court Judgment against them.
The London Judgement found Dr. Chiluba and others liable for defrauding the Zambian Government of over $40 million.
Dr. Chiluba and the three others had attempted to have the Judgment delivered by London High Court Judge Peter Smith in May this year, set aside on grounds that Aaron Chungu and
Ka Joze iwe , Ngulu ni chani!!!!!!!you are dull you chap! i can tell from your writing, u seem not to have the ability to express yourself in the right and correct manner.

Ndife (31),
Ulepatula sana ichisungu. Tawaishiba nama spelling kanshi nangu ulentutula panuma?
Joze (32) First i dont understand the language you are using? I guess you have been to primary school so please communicate.
#33 He is advising you to spell the english language correctly since you have been to primary school not to show your ignorance of the language like someone who haven’t been to any class room.
Oh GK for real now you are talking woow, that was foolish of Joze coz am not English and i guess he got what i was putting across. To hit the nail, some people on this forum think we should be able to understand BEMBA! Sorry I personally don’t understand BEMBA! So please let’s communicate in English. As for the spell check well, I never realized people are so good not to make mistakes ! Please give me some lessons. They behave as if they were english…………… well am not .
#35 The language you used in #31 above is not a communicable language actual, becoz it was not english, that why Jose used a much better communicable language which you understand, thats why you replied in #33.
#35 NDIFE cabe, lekani kuzivera cizungu simuziba lembani cabe mucinyanja baba!!!
Please educate me guys, i am lacking in this queens language educate me…………….but i dont know kulabila yes i can but all i know is not all will understand…………….
gk FOR REALL, i thought we spell this word as REAL and not REALL mwaona manje!!!!
#39 Susiba kuti my first name is gk and my surname is FOR REAL, sicizungu ici iyai, it is a greek name. Wake up man!!
Well to stop the rot……..please bear with me, my english hasnt been that good at all though I only managed to get a merit at grade 12. So bear with me I am just trying to learn the use of the Queens language on your beautiful forum. What I despise is the use of ‘abusive language’ I guess we all just want to articulate our views in the best of interest. I do not therefore support the idea of someone thinking that we all have to have the same views on say Michael Sata’s position on China. Whet
Whether one is for one china policy or not is the topic of discussion. My sincere apologies to those I have offended.
Ndife #25 et al,
Iwe mudala, u sound like like wokulila mukanyama (kwamanjata)!! In this time and age you still want G12 to lead the nation? I like you particiaption on this forum boyi so do not chicken out naiwe!!,,, its fun.
#22 IMPOSTER
That is not my language.
TK1 thanks, I find ur contribution as a compliment! and not a dis however, I just find the Kanyama connection out of range! We should endeavour to respect all society regardless of where they came from. For sure I will not chicken out ! I shall discuss and debate on issues in line with my abilities.
My observation on Satas return is that his team opted to participate in the NCC without his backing and soon we shall see them chickening out since the man feels his the king. Lets wait and
I have SATAs speech at Harvard, it was well written but I know it was Dr. Mulenga and D.C Nkosha who wrote it. It’s a bit exaggerated but makes a lot of sense just that they never touched on the history of Taiwan and China which a sensible scholar should not have avoided.
I agree with Ndife (the speech might have been written by someone probably Mulenga or Nkosha) but I feel the man (Mr Sata) is just too fast in doing things. He needs to handle issues diplomaticaly and show us some leadership qualities. Let him fight on the problems being caused by these so called investors and the immigration departments. I think his plans to decampaign china will lead him to failure. The problem is with our government which is allowing these so called investors to mistreat us.
