Share

Opposition Heritage Party President Brigadier General Godfrey Miyanda has made a surprise entry
in the October 30 Presidential By- elections.

Disclosing the development to ZANIS Thursday evening, HP spokesperson Chris Akufuna said General Miyanda, who was second republican President Frederick Chiluba’s first Vice President, would put  in his nomination Friday with the Supreme Court Judge Justice Enerst Sakala at 14: 00 hours.

Mr Akufuna said the HP president would be expected to go through all the nomination procedure before the Supreme court.

The H.P president becomes the fourth presidential by-elections candidate who will file in his nominations with the first being Patriotic Front leader Micheal Sata and United Party for National Development Hakainde Hichilema.

The duo launched their nominations Monday and Wednesday, respectively.The ruling MMD candidate and Acting President Rupiah Banda is scheduled to launch in his nominations Friday.

The By-Elections follows incumbent President Levy Mwanawasa’s untimely death due to a stroke at Percy Millitary Hospital, Paris France on August 19, 2008.

  1. Well it’s a great decision indeed,it would have been more appropriate if he had filled in his nomination earlier on.All the best of luck then.

  2. The divided opposition are the reason MMD is still in power and will continue to be in power for many yrs to come.

    Now Miyanda is back in the picture more votes to split among them. Why can’t the opposition parties swallow their egos and put the country and the people first and support one candidate? Everybody wants to be president sad indeed.

    They have no chance of removing MMD from power with this kind of selfness.

  3. This is another dictator you should not trust. He can never work with anyone that is why he still runs a fragile party. He was the architect of the Presidential slash fund, what more don’t we know about him? He was a coup plotter but got away with it and now he comes in like a thief. Abash Miyanda and Sata!!! Split the opposition vote and let them spoil each other. But the problem is that he will only split RB’s vote and may hand power to the snake. Since democracy, let him try but it is too late for him. HH or RB!!!

  4. looks like mmd is buying everybody else.i respect miyanda but this man has beeen quiet all along. if he cared for zambians whwre was he all this time?

  5. COMMEDY AT ITS BEST. #2 WAT VOTES WILL BE SPLIT, IF HE CANT VOTE FOR HIMSELF WHO ELSE WILL. HE IS IN THE BOAT. IYEEEEEEEEEE SLEPING PRESIDO. DRAMA WILL NEVA END IN ZAMBIA.

  6. Miyanda is useless he failed to ran UNZA how is he going to ran the country. Wish he could just disappear and go away waste of peoples time and votes.

  7. Clearly an after-thought. I wonder who or what nudged him. A further fragmentation of the opposition vote. The more the merrier! Welcome to the circus!

  8. Vernon Mwaanga is indeed a great man. The opposition is divided. MMD wins. It doesnt matter what happens now. The hour has come again, as of today 136,704 hours of MMD… i am not even gonna waste my time to blog anymore. TONGA BULLS back to the farms

  9. Good points about Miyanda are that he is not a thief, tribalist, elitist or uneducated.He also has experience in how government is run.

  10. No 13, good point. I have great respect for this man, but the problem is he goes quiet after elections and comes back at wrong times like now. He is a better candidate than the likes of RB & Sata. Maybe HH can be compare, not the rest.

    I would vote for him and not Sata. General M is articulate with issues, honest, disciplined, and not a thief like Sata. Sata only peddles lies.

    Wish you good luck Godfrey.

  11. This is purely “Ako kachepa ba Nevers” at work here. We should offically welcome the return of the “Brown envelope”

  12. Every race has it’s runners. Let them line up but in the end we’ll only haveone winner…and in Zambia the winner takes it all. No power-sharing like Mugabe-Tsvangirai or Raila-Kibaki.

  13. Fello Pf members, let us not relent, the bible says pray until something happens. i believe that Sata shd have been president in 2006 but was robbed by these crooks hence i know that God who makes a way where there seems no way, ll make a way this time

  14. Very secretive person you can never trust with public office. Shame on such people. He has nothing to offer to the Zambians.

  15. This is really sad development by the General, where has he been all this time? I wonder where he has resurrected from. I hope Mwanawakwi or (Nawakwi)is not going to join the race. Really Miyanda should just have just joined hands with another opposition party so they do not split votes. These oppositions are even the ones to blame for the prolonged stay of MMD in power. If the opposition continue behaving so selfish, they should also forgeting getting into power!Good luck MMD and hard luck the Opposition!

  16. #12, Chengelo, am sorry, you really sound disappointed. Am sure HH may win 2011 elections.

    Miyanda, you know you wont win, you just want to cause confusion. Who’s next? Siulapwa?

  17. Is this where the tax surplus is going now? Funding opposition presidential candidates to split the opposition, no wonder one retired politician rescinded his decision at the pretext of exercising his political right, there’s serious money this year

  18. indeed this is another sad day in the history of zambian politics. the aura that the Gen carries with him has made him big headed but it’s the zambians who suffer with such display of sheer arrogance and opportunism. you can’t entrust the presidency in the hands of such a man

  19. These ba mwadya mweka mudala are using the same old useles tricks of splitting the votes, but thios time it will be to there disadvantage

    And you Miyanda where were you? Lets hope you not been bought

  20. General Miyanda is more sincere than ANY of those contesting these elections.n The biggest problem with politics is that the good, the sincere never win because those who have to win MUST be liars, political ‘engineers’, dribblers, even crooks!!!

  21. UNIP at work. Not na UNIP. Ya cabe! Next it will be me spliting more votes.

    Why are Africans so selfish? Zambia only has a population of about 12 million (if not less umulandu wa AIDS), how come we end up with all these peole wanting to become presidents?

    Someone tell these dim boys (Sata, Ha He Hi and now Miyanda) to get together or forget about the whole thing.

  22. Imagine a govt of VJ, FTJ, Mulongoti, Chitala, Teta, UNIP guys & Cosmo Mumba…. That will be it after 30 October thanx to the selfish opposition party leaders who all want to go to plot 1 main house not servant’s quarter.

  23. At least I found some one to vote for, I was almost giving up these by elections. I don’t care who joins me in this vote at least my conscience will be clear……..

  24. HE HAS KILLED US NOW,NO CHANCE FOR OUR HH,HE IS SURE TO SPLIT THE VOTE….ITS TRUE TONGA BULLS TEZALILA, LETS GO BACK AND REGROUP,THE SUGER DADS HAVE WON

  25. This General works in isolation. He thinks everything is a state secret. Zambia will be sorry if ever, God forbid, this man is elected to plot 1. I suspect he has also visited Govt house, maybe before Nevers went there for a hefty envelop, since Mulongoti has said on the news this evening that MMD is sponsoring poor parties.
    What a country!!

  26. O Boy! Village concept dreamer has appeared to spoil the soup for opposition. He could invested his K20,000,000 in government bonds rather than waste it like that. The best he could have done is to join another opposition or MMD than to confuse voters in leventh hour.Any way he does not campaign he beggs Zambians to vote for him because he believes he is a humble servant.General be serious with your life.

  27. i can see VJ is already at work… busy calculating how to split votes.
    we know your style.. weve seen it before.
    Brig Gen. Miyanda, why do you allow youself to be used like this.. then again its difficult to say no to a nice thick juisy envelope.

  28. With this move we can now confirm our suspicions that the MMD candidate will carry the day come Oct 30.The oppostion vote will now be split even further but that is the beauty of democracy as one former President used to say.

  29. This Democracy we fought for is an inclusive system which all Zambians have the right to realise their dreams.Every qualified citizen has the right to participate in the process.Respect General Miyanda’s right to run.If he has financial problems to manage his campaign, some of us Democrats fostering Democracy and freedom have mobilized enough democracy funds to help sustain the campaign.Most US based Democratic institutes have been very generous.We have more than enough money to support any struggling Presidential candidate now and in 2011.Tell any leader with an established political party under the registrar of societies to reach out for the Democratic Fund support.Let no one be left out.

  30. #30 and #35 we share the same thoughts about this easily forgotten great stateman.He sure has a real vision to lead Zambia but has been hindered by other politicians.He is the sort of man who has been tried,tested and proved to be a real man.He is the kind of states man you would brag about that he is your president.
    There are times when you cannot work with certain people especially if their ideas interfere with your integrity and Miyanda has shown that.

  31. Typical Zambian opposition leaders who are just concerned with short cut to plot 1. They are a bunch of selfish creature.Where as it is Miyanda’s democratic right to stand for president but he is just encouraging vote slpitting a powerful recipe for the talented MMD to utilize and rig the elctions.Miyanda knows just too well that his chances of winning are extremely remote. With four residential candidates standing,RB is poised to win with less than 40% of the total votes cast. The over 60% of the votes will be strewn to the opposition.Lets sadly wait for the inauguration of RB.

  32. Welcome to the race for Plot 1, Brig. Gen. G Miyanda. You are the men Zambia needs. We want Copperbelt to split the votes together with Eastern province to Miyanda. Even Northern and Luapula province votes will have to be split.I wish you all the very best B. G. Miyanda in your nominations and efforts to be Zambian president. Surely, we deserve to have men like B. G. Miyanda instead of undereducated Hon. Miyanda.
    To all the mighty UPND’s HH supporters, let us continue with our campaign by meeting the voters on door-to-door bases as we have being doing. HH Waboola. I urge all UPND supports to increase HH’s morale.

  33. Pipo, what makes you think the splitting of votes will olny affect the opposition? Im sure there are pipo who are supporting MMD now and will change their mind and support the General.

  34. Miyanda can never ever win, please save your money and do something else with it. This is the guy that was on TV WHEN HE WAS Veep singing praises to Chiluba with his 2 hour interviews. Opposition party Leaders are the ones giving MMD and RB an easy win. I will never understand our opposition. RB is the next president too bad for us Zambian.

  35. I cannot blame the MMD for this but surely Miyanda is selfish.

    Miyanda, can you please reconsider your decision and let someone who can move the nation even further from where Mwanawasa left off (Hakainde Hichilema) to win.

    You are splitting HH’s votes. Why are you doing this???

    Why dont you want to embrace change. We want HH but your move means HH has no chance of winning. Now I guess I have to root for RB, he is better than Sata….thanks a lot Miyanda you greedy politician.

  36. Western Province votes will be stable, as well as North Western ones together with Southern Province ones. Lusaka and Central Provinces will go to the best candidate of the moment HH and November 4, 2008 HH may be our man at Plot 1.
    Zambia Forward. Ijanza (the forward-pointed open hand), Ukuboko, lizoho, Kwanja….
    Vote HH for a real ray of hope and change that all Zambians can believe in.
    The UPND and HH, thank you for the great job you have done in your campaign strategy. This race is not for TIMID souls. The race will be long and hard. But victory will be certain. HH it the one, HH yomwe.

  37. Miyanda has done done a great job.There is no river in eastern province for the boat to be paddled on.Godfrey is the best to spoil RB’s chances in petauke & simply eastern.
    Well done Miyanda,U R in the boat.

  38. HH waboola (HH has come), HH yomwe (HH is the one).
    Wina azalila, wina azaseka. Come November 4, 2008, we will laugh while others will be weeping. I am beginning to stock some tissue paper to help those who will be crying.

  39. Miyanda, I hope you are proud of yourself.

    You have just ruined HH’s (Hakainde Hichilema) chances of winning the elections and giving us change we can believe in and also bringing new fresh ideas.

    Pat yourself on the back Miyanda.

  40. However on the plus side, Sata also has no chances of winning.

    I can live with having RB in power.

    I really wanted HH to win but thanks to this guy (Miyanda) for splitting the votes, no chance.

    Congratulations RB.

  41. General Miyanda,oweee!! Anyway bu general bwalipusana.Maybe he is a general player in all the political parties.Tata mwalipwa.Im sure you dont even have the nomination fee,OK RB will pay for you.

  42. #56, do not be worried. HH has done his homework and he will do well. I will post the 2006 election results shortly. i have been compiling them for some time now. Here is dyonko:
    NorthWestern Province
    Constituency MMD UDA PF APC HP
    Kabompo East 7884 4000 83 30 70
    Kabompo West 7747 3723 146 111 159
    Kasempa 11535 1421 223 45 147

  43. #58 cont’d. LPM was liked for other reasons compared to RBB. And so this leaves HH as the obnly man standing.
    Come November 4, 2008, wina azalila, wina azaseka.
    Go HH, goooo. Vote HH for a real ray of change and hope that all Zambians can believe in.

  44. In looking at the 2006 Presidential results, sample is posted on #58, we will see what Miyanda will do. At best he will spoilt Copperbelt and Eastern Provinces VOTES.
    Viva HH. Viva UPND. Zambia Forward. In tune with the Nation.

  45. This is an indirect way of backing RB, because if he goes directly they will accuse him of receiving a brown envelope. Indirectly he splits the opposition vote and gets an MMD job when they win.

  46. Better off taxi driving than this.Dulo!dulo!dulo! ba Miyanda motivation palibiletu.People must think sure i do not know whats happening with ba Miyanda.Nababa chekelako limbi to split the votes.Sad to see his white head he looks an overly stressed man.

  47. What surprise? This ain’t a surprise. Am sure there’s more candidates on the way – power hungry pipo. May the best man win!!

  48. Where has this rightous (??) man been all this time? I looked in vain for him all over the place. Now, can Corrupt Bwezani have a hand in this?

    (I agree am almost getting paranoid about Corrupt Bwezani corruption being behind every strange move in Zambia now, but you surely can’t blame me there is just too much smoke. . .)

  49. Fellow Zambians, there is nothing to worry about. Let all those who want to file their nominations do it. Zambia is a democracy and every Citizen has a right to aspire for Zambian Presidential Office.
    i personally welcome, all Zambians who feel that they are eligible to have themselves nominated for the election to do go ahead and do it before 17:00 hrs tomorrow.
    Then, the race will begin and we will see who really is the best man. In a democracy you compete and you do not relax in waiting position to be annointed. Zambia Forward, in tune with the Natin and HH the Zambian President to-be come November 4, 2008.

  50. My comment was supposed to say Miyanda deserves some repect. He is not as dirty as the other chaps. CDP just puts me first so I put it first

  51. I would have loved Honourable Sata or Hichilema to retract from the on going race as to gain popularity of loving not power but the will of the people to continue the legacy of our late president.As the race stands?RB is the winner or year!!!!!

  52. I agree with u # 61 and many others who have said Miyanda wil only split RB’s votes in Eastern,CB & a bite in Bemba land.This leaves HH stronger & winner.

  53. There is absolutely no need to despair, there is hope for Zambia. The POWER is in your hands. HH ha s done all he could to make sure you use your votes wisely.
    Now, the ball is still in your hands fellow Zambians. Miyanda is the man to balance the votes. HH the MAN of the MOMENT shall SWEEP THROUGH ALL Provinces to Plot 1 and Zambians shall be able move with their heads high-up with economic independence.
    HH waboola (HH has come), HH yomwe (HH is the one). May all HH’s supports continue with the door-to-door campaingning so that we Zambians can win with an overwhelming vote this time around. This is time to be strong (nkuyumayuma taata, nkuyumayuma. nkuyumayuma baama, nkuyumayuma.)

  54. The opposition is selfish and has no interest of the Zambian people. RB is now smiling as he smiles plot 1. PF & HH have no eyes to see and no ears to hear. shame on you opposition

  55. Guys,i have been travelling Zambia of late and it seems this youngman HH has done his home work in rural areas.Am sure all being equal,he’ll carry the day.

  56. In as much as we can read from ourselves in diaspora,our rich enough to carry our nation forward as demostrated by our acting president Rupiah Band legacy of not responding to childish politics as some opposition parties have demostrated?

  57. he is a great guy, but i dont see any sense in what he is doing. how can he form govt.?? he would have used that money to help someone poor.

  58. When FJT lost the third term bid, Sata thought FJT would endorse him for the MMD presidency but to his disappointment, Levy came in. The question that still be begs an answer to political observers like this writer is ‘Why did Chiluba not endorse Sata to take over the presidency of the MMD after the failed third term bid?’ The answer was given at the Kitwe rally when Levy was being introduced as the MMD candidate for the 2001 presidential election.

  59. According to Chiluba’s own words, none of those who were in his government at the time were perceived to be ‘clean’ by the general public. Hence the coming in of ‘Mr Clean’, Levy Patrick Mwanawasa. If what Chiluba said then was true, is it still true today? Well, the choice of Levy upset Sata so much so that he left the MMD to form his own political party, the PF.

    How this party was formed gives us an idea of the kind of man Sata is. Unlike the Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) which also came out of the MMD almost at the same time, it was formed purely on principle but not so for the PF which was formed out of desire for power. That is why to date they do not have elected party

  60. #79 You are right the money could have been donated to orphanage which the wife is running. Bad financial management on his part.

  61. That is why to date they do not have elected party officials. Much as Sata talks big and has claims to being an achiever, one thing that comes across to many people is an arrogant, dictatorial politician.

    Whenever I listen to him, I ask myself the question, if this man can exhibit such arrogance when talking to people and his political oppornents before he is Head of State, what more if he became one? I frankly shudder to think if we will ever be coughing in this country if this man were President.

  62. HH is very far to win any election guyz.He is not a charismatic leader like sata nor the late mazoka.sata will win in the urban areas and stands a better chance if there will be voter apathy in rural areas where MMD is strong because of the ignorance of the people in these areas.Refer to the Kayama by election where PF came number one, MMD number two and UPND number three as well as the chingola by election.

  63. #72 are you on email. You seem to have more idea i want to be part of those who can do door to door for HH. I want to get leave to go kwahae and campaign for HH.

  64. #81/82.
    Thank you very much for releasing this DATA. I’ve been seeking for an answer to this question for along time now.

  65. @ #85 Wanyanya

    That is a strong accusation.

    I tell you what,can you provide proof that Hakainde Hichilema (HH) is a tribalist???

  66. #94, please, worry about our door-to-door campaigns for the UPND’s HH instead of ill-taught and ill-motivated people. Only the devil enjoys to see division among people – for the devil, the old serpent (Revelation 12: 9 KJV Holy Bible) rebelled against our good Lord and Creator (john 1:1-3 KJV Bible).
    We have approximately 1 month 1 week to finish the job. There is hope for Zambia. HH the man. HH is the one (HH yomwe).
    Let the tribalists remain behind. Forward ever, backward never! HH, Zambia, the Way Forward.

  67. General Miyanda is an intelligent strategist. However, Zambians in general have never warmed upto him. He is one politician who no one can poin a finger of corrupt practices both as an army personnel and during his various positions in the Chiluba Government. Critics say he is a loner for the simple reason that he refused to plunder our money with them. This is a man who defended himself eloquent and successfully in the face of treason charges against him. The reason I see for him joining the race this late is due to the lack of good choice available in RB and Sata. With HH, lack of political experience is an hinnderance to his success this time around. To be continued

  68. HH for President of Zambia for a new real ray of change and hope that all Zambians can believe and trust in.
    Even the former President of Zambia Dr Kenneth David Kaunda is in support of HH. Hon. Sata left Dr K. Kaunda’s house disappoint after he (Sata) failed to reason and accept to deputise HH, the Incoming President of Zambian to-be.

  69. Some one on here – LT – has consistently wrote that “where many peopl saw a problem and started complaining, the UPND’s HH saw an opportunity.” Let us all HH’s supporters in this election cease this opportunity together with HH into making sure we win the Oct 30, 2008 elections, re-built the image of Zambians in particular and Zambia as a Country in general. We can do it, only that we can do it better and we NEED TO BELIEVE THAT WE WILL ACHIEVE THIS DIFFICULT BUT ATTAINABLE TASK.

  70. #97 YOU ARE RIGHT BUT HE NEEDS TO WORK HARD TO ORGANISE HIS PARTY VIAMAHALA VINA TA, LET THE MAN WORK HARD TO ORGANIZE HIS HERITAGE PARTY LIKE ANY OTHER PARTY, YOU CAN NOT JUST WORK UP FROM SLEEP AND EXPECT TO WIN ELECTIONS.

  71. #99, Village concept. Have you seen my ADDRESS? Let us make Zambia sane for it is a pity we have people who need to be helped in cleaning their mental thinking if and when HH shall be in Plot 1, come Novemebr 4, 2008.

  72. Continued from 97. Unfortunately for the General, Presidential campaign require very deep pockets and great support from well wishers financially and otherwise. He can not afford to dent his image by joining the race based on his high principles and just to make a point. Ross Perot, the US billionaire Presidential candidate stood for the USA Presidential election in 1992 and 1996 on a single issue campaign and lost but at least he could afford it. The General is ill prepared to win this election and certainly not on the Heritage ticket, which won only 4 seats in 2001 and he got 8.1% for the presidency. Since then they have been in the doldrums. My advise is that he reconsiders his intentions

  73. HH waboola, HH has come, HH abwela, HH aataha….
    Fellow Citizens, I am now signing off. We continue our door-to-door campaigns for HH regardless of what is happening around.
    Nkuyumayuma taata, nkuyumatyuma. Nkuyumayuma baama, nkuyumayuma.
    HH yomwe (HH is the one).
    CHOICE YABOOLA (CHOICE has come).
    May the good Lord God bless you all as you blog.
    “Try as much as possible not to do evil.” – unknown.

  74. #101.Stop using the name Maestro coz thats dull to use a bank card trade mark.HH has the brians but as long as he is Tonga he will never rule Zambia.Better RB!!!!!!!

  75. Your flag #108 shows you are an imposter. Just a reminder: there is what is called ‘freedom of expression’ in a democracy and Zambia is a democratic country.
    HH waboola, HH has come, HH abwela, HH aataha….
    Fellow Citizens, I am now signing off. We continue our door-to-door campaigns for HH regardless of what is happening around.
    Nkuyumayuma taata, nkuyumatyuma. Nkuyumayuma baama, nkuyumayuma.
    HH yomwe (HH is the one).
    CHOICE YABOOLA (CHOICE has come).

  76. #104 yes i have seen your address. Will talk to you later in the morning. We need to do something for HH. Good nite iam signing off!

  77. Gen. Miyanda is not there to make anyone win the next elections. So if HH has to win, let him sale his ideas. It is sad that learned people should complain over Miyanda. Why should we have democracy if people want their parties to win at ALL costs? Let everyone who wants to stand do so. It is from their presentations; some their lying/cheating/dribbling that they will be elected. REMEMBER NO ONE CAN BUY GENERAL MIYANDA. He is honest, trustworthy and independent – He does not need a khaki envelope!! Never entertain tribalism in your politics.

  78. Exactly. Mulobale hande (moone kabotu). Litumezi lahulu (Twalumba kapati).
    “Sleep well. Thank you very much.”
    Nkuyumayuma ( you have to be strong).

  79. True #111, even when one wants to buy a car, he first views all the models that are available, eg Benz, BMW 7, Toyota, Audi, etc, until he/she settles for what is finally appealing to them.
    So let us have as many Presidential candidates as possible so that we can chose the best, the Incoming President to-be on November 4, 2008, HH.
    Nkuyumayuma ( you have to be strong). Vote for the UPND’s HH for a NEW real ray of change and hope that all Zambians regardless of race and trible can believe and trust in. HH waboola (HH has come). Until the next time!

  80. Thank God this Tonga man has gone to sleep #114. Has anyone told him that most people on here just blog and they wont be voting?

  81. #113 I can tell from your speech. Read Galatians 5:19-22 The born again can not have hatred for others because they are born of spirit.Those who are not born again are the ones mentioned in verse 19 bacause the works of flesh manisfest in them hatred is one of them. Good nite God Bless you brother.

  82. #115, there is still hope for you. Just to inform you, I use the “the TONGA TRIBALIST on the net” because some Bemba-Tribalists blindly following the Bemba-Tribalist of all times in his life Honourable Micheal Chilufya Sata decided to call all Tonga people as TRIBAL. So I humbly accepted the name the Bemba-Tribalists, mind you not the other group of Bemba good people who are lving under our Creator God’s guidance, gave me and hence started using it faithfully.

  83. Yah, zambians are very interesting people. Too much talk and no action for the majority. No wonder people talk of zambia being a good country and Nigerian crooks calling it their hub in Southern Africa. How have you guys forgotten how Miyanda used to dance for Chiluba like a kid when he was made Veep? Have you forgotten how he defended the slah fund? How have you forgotten how he destroyed UNZA? Have you forgotten how he fled to Zaire after plotting a coup? And now you say, he is a sincer guy. He simply does not trust and cannot work with anyone including his wife. He is just another time waster – Abash Miyanda. HH or RB only.

  84. Zonda uzalema.
    Swebo, tuli akaimbo kaba MC Wabwino: “Munthu niwa kalijo niwa kalijo, niwa JEALOUS.”
    Viva HH. Vote for the UPND’s HH for economic emancipation and independence.
    CHOICE YABOOLA (Choice has come).

  85. What beats me is, where were these guys when the small “hyena” was plundering the countries’ worthy? At least the late LPM is on record by resigning his post. The problem pa Zed we worship these thugs whenever they are in these offices and forget to make them accountable for everything that they do or don’t. Remember we are employers as voters, put leaders who know what is good for the nation not relatives.

  86. I’ve noticed a penchant by those who are the most vocal on matters of tribalism to brand themselves with such lofty titles as “Tonga Bull” or “Bala Ng’ombe” “the TONGA TRIBALIST on the net” and the like. What do you guys call your wives, mothers and sisters, I’m curious. What exactly is the opposite of a Tonga Bull? Or does the title apply across sexes?

  87. Guys, please just vote for an old man RB and then we shall get power very easily in 2011. Let RB enjoy the seat so much that he will even forget about the constitution and his Umodzi kumawa concept and then we shall win by a landslide. But, if you vote kaponya Sata, you will be severely injured campaigning for me. But don’t worry, I never loose whenever I choose to compete so we are guaranteed. I told my friend HH, don’t fight a war you can’t win, but he said it was a momentum building tactic – may be he was right and he might just outrun the old men – particularly one with a half functioning heart. That one MUST be history at all costs. Vote me 2011. ID Annointed one! Okay. Good night.

  88. Any serioes person who is debating here will see that there’s no proper discussion here talking about Zambia’s real issues. www the citizensdemocraticparty.com is the FUTURE. This talkk of one man saviors HH/Sata/Banda is not saving Zambia. Talk issues. I am an unashemad supporter of CDP and I won’t back down. If you see what they are saying you wont back down either.

  89. #119 You have hit the nail on the head. Let us try the Change we need for our children’s future Go for HH the man.Look at his balance sheet he knows how to creat wealth the Gentleman is shap. He can motivate the youth on how to create wealth. Not Masholi feela plunderers.

  90. African gay. Oops sorry guy lol! It`s an African thing! Even you would do the same if voted as president. Much as people sing about LPM, we have seen how he managed to give jobs to his relatives.

    One wonders how it would if a Tonga became president.

  91. #125, you are talking and that is what I meant. Please gather the momentum and we shall triumph. Forget Sata and his kaponyas. They belong to the past and we only use the past and don’t eat it. Ubulimi bwakale tababutasha! Sata used to beat operatives at LCC but could not conjure up a system that could make Lusaka clean forever. He is just a bully who hides behind his character forming cigarette – Chamba too much. I am told that even his hair falls if he doesn’t smoke it, is it true Ba Kaseba? And that he smells like a warthog and snores like a boar. Ni mfwiti anso mudala uja we hear!!!

  92. if u think you are the man for plot 1, where were u and why now? What has happened to u to wake up today? hhhhhh, politics with no mercy for the poor, the love of money times

  93. Good morning blogers the time here in Russia is 4:30 ealy in the mornin g and here is HTVI (happy television international breging every news every hours a day day)

    1 i will be opening a new club in zambia in a provinces only house and electronic music shall be played.

    2its like each and every artical that appers make people to start talking about HH i see this openly shows how popular HH has become and tells us that his the next president

    3 the weather is 10 degrees .sib.mas

  94. Zed missed Miyanda to lead. His the only man who is up right so far tested.But I wish he doest.He is late.pipo have already made a decided.

  95. Oh my God!!! When are these washed up Politicians ever going to quit. Why are we spending Billions on a fruitless Venture? Take a leaf from S Africa People.

  96. HH for zambia this are the coming results for 30 october
    western- 55%
    southern-85%
    north-western-43%
    copperbelt-20%
    central-45%
    eastern-7%
    northern-3.9%
    luapula-5%
    lusaka-30%

  97. Haters, Miyanda is so much better than that man in the bath tub and his friends. You people are like women you just want people that tell you what you want to hear, go ahead and vote for the guy in the shower, bath whatever then you will have ‘kaponya’ economics.

  98. LT…Point of correction…HP spokesperson Chris Akufuna (CORRECTION:ECZ SPOKESPERSON)…………………. President Frederick Chiluba’s first Vice President(CORRECTION:SECOND VICE PRESIDENT)…..i hope i am right

  99. I feel for Miyanda, he has the disire to lead but no political clout! If as a country we had a vision right maybe people like him and HH could come to the fore and offer us something different. I’ve great doubts with RB and Sata; they are recycled and cannot offer us anything different apart from the usual political rhetoric while we wallow in poverty.

  100. Sata is talking of bringing change but the man has served in the kaunda and Chiluba regimes. Its just eight years he has not been in power. As such no sensible person would believe him when he says he is going to change Zambia in 90 days. Otherwise he would have done that in the 30 years he has been in government. what a shame, fun enough, even some learned people cannot see this. Mind you its gonna take zambians to change zambia for the better. If we are not careful, whatever is happening in Zimbabwe will be spilled over on to us. Meanwhile the Zim guys are back to normal. We should not make ourselves a laughing stoke again. Zim people abroad prefer to identify themselves as Zambians.

  101. It seems the pact between PF and UPND is failing to work out.They are both failing to agree on who should lead the pact.My advice to them is to adopt a neutral person who is Gen Miyanda.Miyanda with backing from both UPND and PF will definately oust MMD.Remember that in 1991 the MMD picked on a neutral person i.e FTJ whilst the founding fathers stood in the background.Unless this is done RB is definately winning coz of vote splitting.Zambians never learn!!!

  102. The general is back where? Zedians no one wants 2 b minister. Just wait 4 ken ngondo 2 file his nomination. Chance 4 mmd again.

  103. Sata and Hichilema met at Dr Kaunda’s Kabulonga residence for about one and half hours to discuss the possibility of forming an electoral pact, among other issues. After meeting for about an hour, Sata, who was visibly upset with the course of the discussion, walked out in protest.

  104. This is the best person for the job. Even LPM was trying to recruit him. As a principled man he did not like the way he was being courted!

    “Empty vessels make the most noise” Sata , RB have been making noise. This guy will start after his standing and he has a month to sell his manifesto.

    Good Luck General.

  105. The best General Miyanda could have done is start campaigning now for 2011. The timing now is a bit late because he has not sold himself to the entire population.

    How many pipo know him in villages? They are few – so his chances are slim.

    If Lukuku is telling the truth are going to allow RB to contest? Will Dr. N. Mumba convince us that he is clean?

  106. Go at it Miyanda. At least we know you are not a thief and your wife has a good “cuase” for the orphans and those in need… Zambia needs people like you and your wife.

  107. Is this not the character the Post once pictured riding a bicycle two years ago! Miyanda’s power hung is unquenchable, you scrach that grying afro of his and Sani Abacha springs out. Though given the tribalistic patterns that characterise Zambian politics, this failed one star general’s bid for the top job can only hurt Rupiah his fellow Umodzi Khumawa. I think the votes that will decide who wins will be the North Western and Western ones. Though I do not see how amalozi will vote for HH after the way these wayward former Lewanika subjects treated Saki. Maybe Aka is going to woe them for Rupiah who is related to Inonge’s late husband Dr. Vukani Nyirenda.

  108. MIYANDA IS BACK GO GO GO MY BROTHER U ARE DE BEST CANDITATE I HAVE CHANGED MY MIND 2 HP HP HP HP HP HP HP HP HP HP……..,

  109. Is the William Banda supporting RB the one we used to call Tekere of Zambia? – the one who was once deported to Malawi?

    Mr. Chikwakwa please confirm whether Lukuku was at government house.

    RB is the owner of Robert Hudson in Ndola – but most former UNIP members are broke. I think this man was stealing in the Kanda era and spared by KK because of the relationship with Betty Kaunda

  110. Miyanda is worse than Sata and RB put together, you cant trust him with public office. He seems to be someone who goes to sleep and wakes up when its election time, He wont split any votes, In my opinion he is a non entity. Infact all he will do is reduce Rupiah’s votes coz most of his supporters have jumped into MMD bandwagon. I know of one who is supposed to be a Heritage party chairman of some sort.

  111. I have great admiration for General Miyanda. He is a true man of integrity. However, Zambia is not ready for a displinarian and faithful leader. They would rather have jokers like Sata and continue wallowing in poverty or have easily compromised leaders like RB who’s agenda we do not know. RB will just carry on with everything that LPM did. We all know that many detrimental things were done to this country. For example the fight against corruption was badly handled and that is why corruption has just transformed its shape. The cost of the prosecutions done is greater than the recoveries. It only managed to tarnish Chiluba.

  112. While Miyanda’s plan to field himself seems rather late, no leader works alone. He has supporters advising him wrongly. As it were, we all know that Sata encouraged Chiluba to go for the third term. But let us concentrate our discussions around HH, Sata, and RB because my dear General’s intentions have no consequences.

  113. great man indeed. even sata who rarely says good things about others spoke well of him during his interview in 2006. but the issue of mps comes into play.how will hw run the state without a single mp?

  114. The greedness of the opposition gives RB the presidency on silver platter! Opposition when are we going to learn the secrets of UNITY? Mwalusa pafula!

  115. I did realise how popular HH has become! Even us PF supporters know that HH is better placed to lead this country but we will throw some mad at him;
    Take fore example

    (a)He is inexperienced? As if Sata/RB have been presidents before!
    (b) He a tribalist? As if he forced himself onto UPND thrown withot
    being elected at a convertion.Unlike our own Micheal
    (c) He is boasting..As if he stopped you from going to school
    (d) He privatised companies…As if he was a minister or president at that time to make such a decision!

    Guys let be real this man whether he wins or not is becoming popular day by day.He may just be our Obama OR our own Kikwete in the near future.

    May the best win anyway!

  116. What we need in Africa to attain this level of self-sufficiency is a clean and fair political atmosphere. Africa has all the potentials except politics-wise. We have the economist, engineers, the scientists,… but politically we are not free. How many Afrikan scientists and engineers are in the diaspora? How many of them are willing to go back home as soon as there atmosphere is conducive? There are more than 3000 Afrikan engineers in Germany alone, countless are those in the UK, France and the Amerikas, toiling and wasting their expertise for the wrong person.

  117. #62, i support u this is VJ’s doing he is advicing the MMD. So they have pushed all the opposition leaders to file in nominations. i think now we have lost!!!! any ways better luck next time HH

  118. I had hope that Ba Sata or Ba HH will carry the day but with the coming of Ba General on board forget the opposition votes are split. Anyway like you all have said the opposition will never learn that UNITY is progress. Am disappointed with the opposition, how I wish we had the 50 + 1 in our Constitution; God help your children see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  119. Miyanda is doing this for some selfish people. worse of all he has just distroyed his respect people have for him. People are not blind or deaf. We head him a few weeks ago saying he wont stand for the elections (was he broke?) why has he u turned? we are happy for him to have joined the race but worried of coming in so fast and say am stading. something fishy is going on. i hope he is not one of them who has got big packages from mmd.

  120. i wish we could adopt the american tradition,where there just two main parties and pipo are deeply rooted in that.but its hard pa zed coz our leaders dont even know what they believe in,most pipo just follow blindly. e,g can someone tell me what sata stands for or hh(apart from tribalism)?

  121. Give power to health people to rule.

    The position of President in govt is not for the sick, it is very stressfull. No wonder the LPM left us.

    Sata must learn a lesson from this. The Presidence is not for people with a sick heart.

    RB may also go the same way.

    Let the health HH rule.

  122. Ba. Pumpy # 19. You are wise my dear! Relenting we shall not! Not even our kneels will! What was ours has come back to us. The God of Israel shall see us through. I thank God for pipo like you. But rembber to pray for Sata so that God in hsi infinite mercies will also grant Sata wisdom. Viva PF Viva Pipo of Zambia. Viva our PResident Michael Chilufya Sata. Long live Sata Long live no. 19 long Pipo of Zambia. We have received insults for saying the truth and no man is holy so Sata might have his weaknes and strength But we know he perform.

  123. I admire your courage of just showing up at the last minute but its just too late and too little you can about winning these elections.instead why cant you wait for the 2011 elections so that you can re_organise yourself instead of spliting the opposition’s votes.

  124. #35 Am with you at last we have someone to vote for. Don’t pull the man down, he is God’s answer at the last minute. He is the one

  125. ba miyanda u are such a gud learder mwalikwisa all this time,looking at the other three contesting u wud have stood 100% chance to beat them,,to bad u have come in late,,anyway gud luck and all the best

  126. hey guys no votes will be split miyanda will vote for himself and no one else will not for him TULI MUBWATOOOOOO COME 30 OCTOBER

  127. #184,good point but how many pipo will he manage to convince.remember he was competing with ngondo in the last election.his a man of integrity ok but these are politics,only numbers count.pipo wont vote for this guy coz they’ll feel its a wasted vote just like i dint vote for him last time.his becoming a time waster this man,maybe its post war trauma affecting his judgement.

  128. #159 you are mind changer just because General.if you are not ready to vote,please think this man have been away so long he comes peoples minds are changed to bad.VOTE HH

  129. Lady L, you sound like someone I know? But are you being truthful about Miyanda coming in on the scene at this hour? Let’s face it, how many people in the rural Zambia know Miyanda? Please people let us take this matter seriously, we are talking about a country we want to see move forward and not a country where we will be experimenting? When the govt increases taxes, you are the number ones to complain, but look at what you are now doing to yourselves, why for once don’t we put someone who have seen run serious businesses in Plot 1, someone who has the discipline and one who can get serious investors to come to Zambia? Mwila yangala ka?

  130. Ba PF you are not talking about the failed PACT meeting organised by KK because it was your mad Sata who walked out. That meeting also shows that KK is not for RB. He wants a youngman HH to lead the country. KK has always meant well for this country.

  131. I have always supported the General for what he stands for especially being straight in all is dealings. He has stood out agaist the odds at most times and shown that you don’t need the majority to be right. This time around I don’t know what really he is trying to do. Its common knowledge among all his supporters that even the greatest mirracle of all times on earth can not make him win this time, why then advise him to sink so low and get exposed like he is not one of the great leaders this country has produced. It pains to seem him playing the Chama Chokomboka, Ngondos etc of this country.

  132. The problem in my opinion is with KK, he supports HH and iam sure in this instance he went to talk to sata and HH so that HH can stand in this election. This iam sure is why sata walked out. Everyone knows that SAta has more support than HH and how do you expect him to be vice. Even in paliament Sata has more MP’s(including Rebels but some have come out in support of Sata)

  133. Heritage Party belongs to Miyanda and Wazziah Phiri. Why waste time going farming and experimenting on village concept theory.

  134. The post shows Guy Scott and Sata walking away from the meeting organised by KK. Can any Zambian (level headed) who understands the standing of KK in this world just walk way from KK’s meeting? Guy and Sata have now lost it.The boat is sinking with all its contents.

  135. His just been paid off. MMD CAN DO any thing at this point to split Votes or entry of rigging. look guys, this guy muyanda has no Mp, how can he manage to run the govmnt.. I Smile something fishy here….

    any thing can happen.. vote wisely..

    twachula pa fula ala.

    vote pf for change

  136. Well guys you seem to have varied views about the general. Most of you do not have anything against the man. He is a statesman.

  137. Thank God Miyanda is standing. I didn’t have where to cast my vote now i have.
    RB: I don’t know
    HH: Very good with Theory ,University material but needs more of the practical world. May be 2011.
    Sata: Fwaka.
    Miyanda: Viva for President.

  138. Times of Zambia
    MMD chairman for elections, Mike Mulongoti, has said the K15 million given to National Revolution Party (NRP) president, Cosmo Mumba, was meant to help his party meet part of the budget for its campaigns.

  139. Anyway even if the Gen. has joined the race, my vote is still intact and will never be split. Ni pa Bwato fye chabe. This only remains to those that are not yet decided.
    Viva PF…………….

  140. I thought the man had gone in retirement! what is he up to. Another 2006 when he never put up a campaign rally let alone a poster and expecting miracle? Miracles do not just come General. Forget plot one!

  141. I have just read the post story, I think HH and Sata differed on leadership. Sata says he cant step down for HH and Hakainde also says the same thing. This PACT cant work Period. let them go and Battle each other so that we see who is more popular

  142. Ba Mudala ba Miyanda were where you all this time you are just wasting your K20m, It’s better u use it for farming. To tell u the truth mudala Miyanda mwalikana ukucita partcipate nomba who has given u that money? is it RB or who?????????????????????????? MULEIBWELAMO FIMO NAMUKULA.

    Ifwe ni pabwatooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    viva SATA pabwatooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
    viva PF pabwatooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  143. I see no one even has the advise or understanding of democracy. I believe everone is free and has a right to contest any position or for form your own political parties and stand as republican presidential candidate. why condeming these candidates if you guyz cant even excercise your own rights. please leave Miyanda alone. at least he gives it shot that you here.

  144. Bought by MMD!! Miyanda shame on you!!!!! I had respect for you mudaala but you are a dissapointment to the pipo of Zambia. Impiya iiyi yalipaisha Jesu!!!

  145. Kwena ubupina bubi sana. Ba Miyanda also scooped? Surely can’t the campaign strategists in PF and UPND realize what the other camp is scheming? Unless they realign their strategies, MMD will win by manipulation. So SATA and HH wake up and make news, make history, merge NOW and make us all proud. Remember to win a war, you need intelligence. VIVA alliance.

  146. ala aba tonga ba kapatulula kwati nabakapoli
    i will go somewhere else if hh wins and now the man sata the zambian savior true democrat
    coruption free man when the sugar dad is busy giving 15millions for bribes and arranging to marry all to ma sweety sixteen abana bacula president defiler

  147. WHO HAS GIVEN THE GENERAL THE MONEY? THATS THE ONE TO BLEME, NOT MIYANDA. GO FOR IT MAN! HH WIL STIL BE FRESH EVEN IN 2011 THOUGH YOU BROKE HIM NOW. HH FOR LIFE,VIVA HH

  148. YES THE MORE THEY ARE IN THE RACE, THE MORE RUPIAH STANDS A VERY BIG CHANCE OF WINNING.

    IF THESE PEOPLE WERE CLEVER AND JUST COME TOGETHER AND FORM ONE PARTY THAT IS POWERFUL. THEY THEN COULD STAND A BIG CHANCE OF WINNING. BUT ALAS GREEDINESS AND SELFISHNESS IN THEM WILL NEVER ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN.

  149. The best Heritage Party can do is to start re-organising themselseves this time in preparation for 2011 General Elections. Please Mr. Heritage Party president keep that money for other uses. If you do not need it, donate to me because I may have a good use for it

  150. d nice

    are you staying with your parents… i guess they do every thing for U… LOOK AROUND STREET KIDS EVERY WERE, YOUTH COMING FROM UNZA, COPPERBELT UNIVESITY AND OTHER sCHOOLS HAVE NO JOBS.. TAX’S ARE HIGH

    AND YOU SAY GO RB.. U MUST BE INSANE MAN.. MMD HAS DISTROYED THE PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA THEY ARE SUFFERING..

    THINK BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING.. VOTE WISE

  151. Miyanda is a man who would keep the lazy on their toes, the corrupt would migrate to safer zones as soon as he is declared President, the indiciplined would begin to straighten up. He is Presidential material but the question is on transparency that bo Miyanda seems to operate like James Hadley Chase- Master of suspence!

  152. That is the man of my choice though some people may talk negatively about General Miyanda, anyway thus their nature, Miyanda is my man I will vote for him as he has all the necessary leadership qualities. Those who are negative are either scared of him as their parties have bad leaders or just cowards. Godfrey go ahead if you will have one vote it will come from me. Why do you pipo call others names? Those are not politics, and its un African insults leaders whether in opposition or not, please lets desist from insults play a clean game. God has farely give all pipo talents so please stay good. May God bless Zambia.

  153. # 236 YOUR NAME SAY’S IT ALL… CHECK THE COMMENTS BEFORE YOU.

    YOU INSANE TOO. I DONT KNOW WERE WE ARE GOING WITH PIPO LIKE YOU AROUND..

  154. It is all very well for all those who are firmly convinced the person they will vote for is the right person to lead the country but there are those of us who just are not convinced anyone of the three candidates will deliver and thank God Miyanda has come on the scene, he will definitely get my vote, for whatever he is,at least the man is not a thief and I’m damned if I am going to be part and parcel in putting a potential plunderer in office.

  155. The general has lost his memory, by the LT please enlighten me when did Chris Akufuna became HP spokesperson I always knew him to be with(ECZ)electral commission of zambia and I thot Wazziah Phiri was HP spokesperson please clarify, as the gen he should have just started preparing for 2011 insteady of trying an ambush which he very well know that even militarily cant work. Gen you should please consider donating that 20m to hospices the can have a good use of it.

  156. Ba Miyanda, you’ve been quite always heard on the last minute. Have you been campaining I wonder? What is the motive behind all this much as you are execising your democratic right anyway… Time will tell.

  157. Zambian in zambia is it true that HH more support in western province? from tne news i had its like people there are now just intrested in UPND.

  158. DR Kenneth Kaunda’s initiated electoral pact negotiations between opposition Patriotic Front (PF) presidential candidate Michael Sata and UPND’s Hakainde Hichilema yesterday collapsed after the PF leader walked out of the talks. …

  159. I think the General is a lone soldier and needs to pair up with those that can perform well on the public stage of politics. He certainly is a clean man and he can not truthfully be accused of any wrongdoing. But to say tha he is at the moment ready to win an election would be overstretching his own imagination. The twenty million nomination fees could be better spent on such things as his wife’s Kabwata Orphanage which I must say has done very well under very difficult circumstances. Akll the best General, dream on. It’s your constitutional right

  160. More people in the race is not indicative of selfishness, its democracy. All those going on about Mwaanga, do you have any facts? A lot of libelous material on LT. Remember Kaunda’s “kachepa” adverts?

    That aside, Miyanda is a good candidate in as far as his principles, integrity and leadership. People this is a General, used to leading. I think he would instil discipline in any cabinet team.

    All he needs is good PR, a good team and some serious fundraising. Definately better than Sata or RB.

  161. ba kk balanda, rb is obvously hopeless.why else would kk want hh.but kk should not try to take sata for a ride,we cant let hh direct our big man

  162. LT IS THIS THE SAME CHRIS AKUFUNA WHO IS PR FOR THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION?? COULD YOU RE-CHECK YOUR FACTS OTHERWISE IF ITS TRUE THEN HE SHOULD NOT BE WITH ECZ….WHAT I KNOW IS THAT A WAZZIAH PHIRI IS THE SPOEKESPERSON FOR MIYANDA

  163. Ba General I have respect for you. Do not waste your time and money. Start preparing for 2011 now, tell the nation about your development plans.
    please do not put in your nomination.

  164. I think HH and Sata are the ones who are selfish,they should have left Miyanda to contest so that the vote is not split.

  165. Refer #99, Zambia belongs to all citezen and there no single tribe that can rule without the support from other tribes, one amazing a Tonga is always labeled as a tribalist, even the late president was
    labeled as a tribalist because he came in the open of hating national plunders,thieves,
    What basis are claiming H.H as a tribalist, Chiluba filled in all important ministrial position to his tribe mate you didnt label him as a tribalist, the finance, home,foreign and defence were held by his tribe mates,
    We need someone who can take the nation forward regardless of the tribe,let us be civiled a tribe does not deliver ,as long one is a Zambian and able to deliver.
    Viva H.H go for it,

  166. Well well well what do we have now, the general is in the race. I forgot about heritage party and now he has reminded me of it once a soldier always a soldier. Even those in opposition are part of the ruling party because they pave way for the office bearers wrong timing miyanda

  167. HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NIZIIII

  168. This General is dull naturally. Why is he parading his beautiful spouse in the sun at the supreme court?

    No wonder he lamentably failed to propound the VILLAGE CONCEPT.

  169. miyanda is the man you wont hear him speaking empty promises and lies the thing is he is popular here in towns and in rural areas, once a general always a general,air force one mr president sir welcome aboard rescure us….

  170. Ba general, what is it kanshii? don’t tell me its sugar dady again, coz this man knows every well that this race is not for parties like his, by him participating gives MMD chance to win again can’t he see that? can he please stop waisting our time. nonsense

  171. KK for HH. Super Ken for HH. Super Kenny for HH.
    Whay did Hon. Sata and his Guy leave Super Ken and HH yesterday in a sad mood and manner?
    I have always wrote on here – LT – that KK is for HH. Super Kenny said it openly in 2006 that he was for UPND’s HH. He (KK) repeated this last week or this week by giving us a hint about who to vote for for (HH) when he talked abotu free education from Grade 1 to university. PF (poor Finishing) suppoters argued with us who use REASONING and OBJECTIVITY in outluining our positon. Some caharacters even accuse KK of supporting RBB. KK for HH!

  172. He was still trying to raise the needed 20 million kwacha reg fee. Remember last time marketeers donated their fish to raise the money.

  173. #277 you are not a tonga please be mature .time you had to grow up do you think its good to you are tribalist.i think you are from the north .

  174. #278, HH once said that “Chiluba when he was Zambian President was life a monkey in a tree in front of a large maize fieled.” Chiluba got irate and took Sir HH to court, but nothing happened there. All we know is that the case went silent because Chiluba had nothing to back his claims on HH.

  175. #281,I do not understand your point (Mebo nsechibwene nchosola kwaamba awa).I am a real Tonga born from two Tonga parents (Ndili mu-Tonga waka zyalwa kuzwa kuli mukwasyi bazyali bama-Tonga).My late father came from Mapanza in Choma (Ba-Taata bakatusiya bakalikuzwa ku-Mapanza kuddolopo ya-Choma).My retired mother from GRZ Civil Service comes from Monze rural near Bweengwa (Ba-baama bakacileka kubeleka bazwa ku-Monze mutala kuchoobo cili kufwafwi aku-Bweengwa).I hope this information is enough for you to stop your baseless accusations (Ndishoma kuti makani ngeepa away alazulila kutegwa ucileke kutondezya ikutamikizya alindime kunyina-mutwe).

  176. A good soldier will always wait for the best time to shoot because he is 100% under instruction from the troop commander.In this case the Gen has now been instructed by the troop commander – R.B to file in the nomination.LETS VOTE FOR THE GENERAL SO THAT LUSAKA CITY IS TURNED INTO A VILLAGE. The village concept.

  177. I like HH but I cant vote for him bcoz of pipo like #287 who are openly and pridely preaching tribalist even by his names!!WAITAYA BOI! You and your HH will die with tribalist on your lips.

  178. Bembas say ” Ubulimi bwa kale tabutalalika mwana”- A hungry child cannot be stopped from crying just because you had a bumper harvest the previous years.This applies to our MMD govt.Why are they campaining on someones past achievements and legacy? Each one was made different and so are the different talents. So bwana R.B will not perform the same way as the late President and neither is he going to carry the burner/mantle the same way the late president did.Remember once UNIP will always be Unique and therefore Magande could have made a good subtitute in this New Deal Government otherwise all the goods will disappear from the shelves again.

  179. this man has been too quiet we dont know what he is up to,mind u he is a soldier dont underestimate him, but thats not what we want as zambians

  180. Ba Miyanda! Muliko……. does this man have people to advise him? He can use the money to help his relatives rather than just waste it. Shame indeed!!

  181. Best news ever. He is splitting eastern province vote. This strengthens HH. Go HH gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. We are praying to God for you.

  182. #290, I challenge you to pin-point and quote any tribal statement that I have put up on here – LT – in my postings. Please, remember to put the actual SOURCE too.
    May the best man win the Oct. 30, 2008 elections.

  183. The most corrupt 2008 presidential candidate is RB and his MMD party. Look at the list of corrupt practices in the space of two weeks: 1. buying cabinet to vote for RB; 2.RB distributing sugar in Vulamukoko where earned hisself a name of “sugar daddy”‘ 3. bribing all parties led by fellow Eastners to rally behind him such as Ken Ngondo, Tilyenji (what are we going to eat); Lukulu’s k15 million saga; funding broke HP for Miyanda to split votes among the opposition, etc. Remember RB has also employed VJ, Mbita and corrupt AKA to mastermind election rigging. Zambian do not vote for a corrupt party.

  184. Miyanda is the most credible politician we have. Sometimes life is not fare.it doesnt give opportunity to good pipo. go on General u ar a good man

  185. Welcome to the contest of the strong RBB.
    Minister Magande ng’andu, I humbly ask you to resign fromthis RB led MMD GRZ as late LP Mwanawasa resigned from the CORRUPT Chiluba GRZ of 1994.
    Nkuyuma yuma taata, nkuyuma yuma. Nkuyuma yuma baama, nkuyuma yuma. May you all have a great day and have a happy Sabbath.

  186. This GENERAL is a lunatic and silly minded i have never seen in my life,he agreed to be used by the MMD and u know pipo the GENERAL IS BROKE and where else do u think he can get the 20million kwacha for nomination if not from RABIT BANDA,Coz the MMD want to split the vote and comfuse pipo by having a big number of candidates.But this time UNDER AGE PARTIES ARE PARTICIPATING there vby making no room for rigging.QFM will be updating us the results direct from the poling stations within zambia.PF AND SATA Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ZAMBIA WAPIAAAA BAISAAA MUSHII BOAT

  187. #303#303 Maestro Hhehhehhehhe – the TONGA TRIBALIST on the net..then you are my Mbuye .kuku in lozi or you are our slaves.kuku do me a favour can you just change your name to Maestro Hhehhehhehhe – the TONGA it will be very good.please kuku a master does not ask a slave he commands ))

  188. kaondes soon will rise,oil was found in our province,sata and bembas soon will be history.litunga signed a treaty called northwestern rodesia which includes northwestern,western,copperbelt and lusaka province.so if somebody wants to devide zambia its easy,because of ? bembas who are tribalist together with a ? s michaul sata

  189. Miyanda strugles to raise 200 suporters ffor his nomination. can such a man win an election? why is he wasting our time with this crap. awe mwe mu zambia.

  190. General Miyanda is the only politician amongst these presidential candidates that can take the forward.This man has impeccable character and the moral fibre to fight corruption.Plunderers would have a tough time under his reign.He`s the only political leader to have ever retired imprest when he was in govt.
    Don`t worry Ba BRIG,we`ll organise a grass root campaign from the bottom up,come 2011 and cause a major upset in Zambian politics.

  191. Surely where was Miyanda all this time,Thats why it will take ages for zambia to develop too many to ma opposition parties-Power hungry leaders

  192. General,how much has RB or MMD paid you to split the
    opposition vote? I think you are late. Its just you
    family members who will vote for you and if the are
    principalled even them will deny you a vote.

  193. My heart bleeds to say the least. Am really at pains to understand the General’s concept. Brig Gen. Miyanda Sir! you’ve got great potential but you’ve failed to show us your organizing skills hence, you’re losing your faithfuls. God bless your soul!

  194.
