NCC should close by June 2009- HH

Share

UNITED Party for National Development (UPND) president, Hakainde Hichilema, has pledged to ensure that the National Constitutional Conference (NCC) completes its work by June next year if he is elected president.

Speaking on Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA)-sponsored television programme Race to Plot One, Mr Hichilema said that it was important that a timeframe was set for the NCC to complete the work.

He said that the Constitution-making process was cardinal and the UPND attached great importance to the NCC but there was need to stipulate the timeframe of its existence and work.

“The NCC should close by June 2009. It should conclude the work. We have been beating about the bush on the Constitution making,” Mr Hichilema said.

He also said the UPND would offer favourbale investment incentives for investors irrespective of their countries of origin. Mr Hichilema said that it was wrong to denounce some investors on the basis of their countries of origin or race.

What was important, he said, was to offer favourable investment climate to all, including Zambians as well as laws that would protect the local people.

There was need for the Government to deliberately come up with ways to encourage the participation of local people in the economic affairs of their nation.

Mr Hichilema said that the Government should ensure that investors coming in their country forge partnership with the local business people who usually lacked capital to invest.

He said it was the Government’s duty to ensure that the local people with bankable business proposals had access to the capital resources, which was the main hindrance to prosperity of Zambian investors.

Mr Hichilema reiterated his government’s planned investment in education to offer free education from primary to university and underscored the importance of education.

He said Zambia was endowed with a lot of resources, which needed to be tapped for the emancipation of the country from the pangs of poverty.

Describing himself as the economic manager, Mr Hichilema said he was the most suitable person to run Zambia at the moment among the four candidates because of his background.

On his chances to scoop the polls, Mr Hichilema said that he had travelled across the nation and the other candidates might not reach some places he had been to.

Others contesting the October 30 elections are acting president, Rupiah Banda, Patriotic Front president, Michael Sata and Heritage Party (HP) president, Godfrey Miyanda.

  1. Great news there Mr Incoming President to-be HH. Mr Hichilema. On investment opportunities, what is the PROPOSED FDI for a UPND-GRZ? We wamt restriction on numbers of foreigners managing companies and working there – since we have the human resources. On HH “reitterated his government’s planned investment in education to offer free education from primary to university and underscored the importance of education.He said Zambia was endowed with a lot of resources, which needed to be tapped for the emancipation of the country from the pangs of poverty”, what more can I write except to spoil this good?

  2. at least HH has tried to put a time frame to this NCC thing, which some of us thought has taken longer than necessary…But RB having a vision and projection for a lot Zambian programs?! I doubt that!!! am not opposed to my opposition, but the ruling party….HH Next tim man, co this time it is Ba SATA!!!

    VIVA PABWAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOO>>>>>

  3. This is sense for HH to carry on the development of the constitution. We can not afford to dump the constitution making process into the drain when so much money has already been spent on it. This is tax payers money. We can not afford to be holding elections every time because of dictators. 26 PF MPs have been expellled from PF and the case is in court for attending the NCC; it means that we need to hold by elections when they lose in court. Again tax payers money will be used. Zambians open your eyes and see. Why should we continue see our funds being abused because of politicians whose interests are to satisfy their ego at the expense of Zambian development. Look out for better leaders.

  4. Change is inevitable. It comes with new ideas, it is challenged , It has no base for corruption untill it starts thinking the people are stupid and can be dupped, It unearths hidden resources and channels them to development , it wants to show it can work.It takes a while before it stars thinking the 2% advantage it gets in an election is good enough to tell the people what to do. The Opposite is what RB and his stupid embeciles in MMD would do. Viva HH or Sata

  5. there is no tomorow. people the time for good leadership is now. vote for the one you want now. dont think of 2011. 2011 is an other battle. lets talk and fight this battle now. lets not reserve our votes for 2011. if you wnt HH its now or never. now or never.

  6. yes we can change the world. thats the power we have and no one else has that power apart from you and me. lets change the world by saying yess to sensible leadership.YES WE CAN.

    YES WE CAN. YES WE CAN CHANGE ZAMBIA FOR THE BETTER.

  7. Vote wisely. Lets vote for an individual of whom we feel and know know will being and develop the Zambian economy now and not untill 2011. If the Zambian economy can be changed now that will mean even in future come 2011 the economy will balance. Use your vote and lets vote wisely.

  8. Well put ba aspiring candidate (presidential) i didn’t hear you talk about that lean government (Cabinet) issue…and which Ministries you think can be combined so as to avoid unnecessary Government expenditure on allowance for Ministries we don’t even know – in terms of operations.

    your ideals and ideas are well thought through that’s why we are going to incorporate you in the winning team – Patriotically Speaking!!!

  9. KUNTA TINTE.
    stop talking about 2011. please lets think about today change starts today and not tomorow. tomoro is not promised to any one.

  10. VIVA HH!!! That is the way to go about it. You are definately the next the president. The overwhelming support you are enjoying in WP, NWP, SP, CP and now you have hailed the people in EP and you have improved in Lusaka Province than last time. I know that for once in this month month which has always the changing month in Zambia, we will have a party that will bring national unity and development in the country so that we can move to the next stage. We have had so much of politics which will not feed us. We now need development and it can only come from a party whose manifesto and name implies it. VIVA UPND!! VIVA HH!!! GO HH!!! DEVELOP ZAMBIA!!!

  11. That interview was very interesting because the issues were well explained in a short time like one hour.However i feel sorry that HH was the first one in the series of race to plot one because his competitors will just copy the same things he said even though they dont understand them and dont have any clue going about solving the many problems this country is facing.

  12. To be honest i have never liked HH, when i head him speak on ZNBC, well the man almost changed me from PF.

    I looked at my kids and contemplated on their future,I urge my fellow Bembas not to vote on party or tribal lines, but to vote for the best man for zambia.For a man who will inject hope for our future,hope for a good future for our children.

    On Time frame, the man is right we need a time frame, abandoning it would be a serious misjudgement……..

  13. Pipo face it HH is for the future maybe 2016, but now we need change master!!!SATA!!!!VIVA PF

    PABWAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOOO>>>>>>>>>>

  14. Ho Ho Ho! Says Father Christmas. Not Ha Ha Ha! Wake up you tutongas. I have sweets in my Boattttttttttt!

  15. Mr. HH you sounded more than your age you have brains my man now we wait and listen to the last three and make a good choice.

  16. HH is one of us, the young, he needs us now than ever.When are we the young going to rule this country or re-cycle politicians, the other hopefuls are all UNIPists, of course the general is not a hopeful, Gents, are we saying we are not capable of taking our motherland to the next level, which our grannies like RB will never understand.DRC did it, they confided in a young leader with military background and they are not in crisis.I ahve a feeling if we do not move to the next level, we still remain in mediocrity. Can we start discussing what we the young can do for our country and not the opposite, for arguments’ sake.

  17. Zambia dont want sweets. we can make our own sweets. we want sensible polices and leadership. not solutions just aimed at the stomach. we want solutions that give zambia freedom of mind

  18. For the first time in Zambian politics i was able to write quotes, the man inspires confidence.

    Listen to this”Education is the best equalizer,education gave me equal opportunities as those from rich families”.

    Let Chibamba Kanyama should interview HH on his art of Business program.The man is a role model to us young……….

    I dont disppute, sometimes i feel alighned to PF because even my brothers and sisters are PF.

    To be honest i enjoyed his presentation

  19. Dont cross the bridge before you come unto it. Dont you know that once one is voted into office he consolidates his defences. It has been difficult to remove MMD from office because they have access to government coffers. So its now not 2011; 2011 has got its own cares. Vote wisely

  20. HH!!!!!Come in the boat y brother Father Christmas has the sweeets!HA HA HA!!Very funny father xmas!!!!

    PABWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  21. why do the rest of zambias think that tongas are not zambians when there province is one of the larges in the country and it contributes greatly to the GDP.
    WHY is it ok for SATA to speak bemba when he is campaigning. but when HH Uses bemba ATI OYO.

  22. Guys! Whatever we say this guy is more intelligent than RB and SATA combined.We should give him a chance.RB is too corrupt,SATA is crazy.What else do we have on the plate?Some young men have made the greatest presidents the world has ever seen.Go young man!Viva new blood!Viva new generation!

  23. We should have a presidential debate. Its true others will just copy what HH has said though they don’t have a plan. This guy is just brilliant!! HH for President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. #27 Your parents were queing up for them mate! Ho Ho Ho. I only started giving them out when the sugar daddy gave out sugar to your relatives.

    I have a few in my boatttttttt to give out.

    H Ho Ho!

  25. Please forget about tribe..HH is for Zambia. He has offered himself whole heartedly! What more do we need!! We Zambians love each other, just think of how it feels to meet a Zambian in UK for instance? One wouldn’t even care what tribe they are, lets exercise the same. HH is Zambian thats what should count!!! Viva HH…

  26. Zambians, those with ears have heard. The right MAN is here and he has SPOKEN. Free advice from me………..

  27. HH might win given that the Post has coiled around RB like an Anaconda aiming to squeeze him out. Truly the guilty are afraid or why this focus on one candidate! Something fishy about the post dealings! Watch out.

  28. i cant wait for a time when leaders will be ashamed to give out food in order to entice them to vote unwisely.Zambians dont sell your childrens future by accepting a three minute sweet. thats all such politicians have to offer.

    say no to such.say yes to sensible leadership.
    permanent solutions and not solutions that lead to permanent problems.SWEEEEETS.

    Choose a leader that puts money in you pockets buy creating equall opportunities for you so that you can decide on what kind of sweet you want to buy.

  29. When Tongas meet, they start speaking in their language. Whether in the UK or not. It makes you feel out of place when you are with them. I love them Ho Ho Ho! If only they could replace Ha Ha Ha with my Ho Ho Ho and come with me in the boat to give out sweets.

    After all they are good paddlers of that big boattttttttt

    Ho Ho Ho.

  30. Indeed HH is the only hope we have today.Its really encouraging to hear how he is gaining ground.Right now he is in Rupiah is Village and indeed MMD are panicking cos they have realised that they nolonger command support in any particular province.Am told he had a mamoth rally at Kaunda Square and and all the people there were just signing change.The chiefs Rb were bribery after finnishing tuma K15m have change there mind and nolonger support him.

  31. Ba #42 naimwe yaba!! ubunangwa bulenunka nokununka make wonder, Why do people with closed minds always open their mouths?

    VIVA POST!!!!

    PABWAAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOO>>>>

  32. Rupiah has hired 4 image builders/consultants from the USA. Their main goal is to sell Rupiah to the electorate to have confidence in MMD. Eeye kutiwaseka! Desparate move by MMD.

  33. good presentation HH. u will be the strongest challanger in 2011. its not yet time 4opposition to rule zambia.

  34. #48 Chileshe (Cheers)! Do not worry when my boat lands they wil forget and jump in. It will be full of sweets.

  35. Well said, that short episode on ZNBC kept me screaming “paaaakuuuboookooo” as HH churned out point after point.
    Change is now when we have an energetic, productive and intelligent candidate. Come 2016 HH will be aging and will have faded some of the good qualities due old age catching up on him. A leader is only as good as the prime age ” 40 to 60″ The best leaders made their mark at this age.

  36. HH you will not rule before 2016 or even thereafter despite education. To remove the vultures of RB there is need for a strong man with rigour to outpost RB’s Vultures. Sata offers this kind of man. My own analysis is that he may not be able to win also as the elections are untimely for all opposition. Come 2011 Sata will become older and may not rule again. For now & the next 10yrs we stuck with RB & his vultures. Lock up your daughters.

  37. I had support for PF, but then I asked myself the reason why am on the boat and what the man has to offer Zambians, there was no answer at all, then I asked why i choose PF its simply the man is bemba then i asked weather i was being fair to my country for voting for someone with no vision but simply he was my tribe mate? the was not at all so i have changed my mind its VIVA ZED, VIVA Development, VIVA fresh blood, VIVA Youth above all VIVA UPND, VIVA HH for ZED. and I’ve started compaingning for UPND in this provice, we need change.

  38. Now is the time for real change, to create real properity in this country. HH represents real change. This is his time. Vote for him. He indeed is the best man for Zambia.

  39. I m worried by those advocating for Sata’s presidency. Those with some memory will remember Sata for the Mezaf scandal, the suite case K2Billion scandal, the Chawama ‘genocide’ and more recently, the Henry Mtonga donation scandal where Sata tried to pocket Ndalama ya pamalilo. If really sata is the best, then we are a useless society

  40. HH is the man. These are the kind of leaders we need at the moment. Leaders who can freely mix with the likes of Obama, Brown and the rest. Noti when they see a president coming they all run away kwati bamona ichiwa.

  41. Initially i thot RB should just continue for unity and peace’s sake but after so many revealations about this charactor,i fear for this country.Its so difficult to build but very easy to destroy.I dont know what will become of Zambia in the remaining three years should we allow RB to continue.After seeing and hearing the vision the young man has for this country, i just thought it would make sense to vote for him.Its HH am talikng about.

  42. #65, i’m having the same problem. My comment was on why Sata as Zambia’s president would be a disaster, a disaster that can be avoided if Zambians voted wisely.

  43. HH is the way forward. If MMD wants to remain competitive they should allow people like mutati to take over while PF should allow people like lubinda. By the way if Sata wins who will be the vice president. I am not sure if zambians will accept Scott. Levy wanted to appoint Dipak Patel as minister of finance but OP told him never ever to do anything like that.

  44. However, Let me simply say Viva HH”
    You will make a good president. Zambia invested well in educating you. You will be a president that will cause us to walk head high and proud anywhere in the world.

  45. Worried Patriot #60 I wonder who u want to be president, HH’s source wealth seems a taboo to discuss and we all know the source. Our Privatised companies cannot be ruled out. Bwezani’s story is even known by babies born yesterday.
    President Sata’s record of success at all levels is not a secret. For me my vote is on Sata for these 3 yrs remaining after which Given Lubinda must Take over come 2011.

  46. That short episode on ZNBC kept me screaming “paaaakuuuboookooo” as HH churned out point after point.
    Change is now when we have an energetic, productive and intelligent candidate. Come 2016 HH will be aging and will have faded some of the good qualities due old age catching up on him. A leader is only as good as the prime age ” 40 to 60″ The best leaders made their mark at this age.

  47. hE HAS SPOKEN UNLESS THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO IGNORE FOR THE SAKE OF IGNORING OTHERWISE THE POINTS ARE THERE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE. JUST A CHANCE TO REHABILITATE ZAMBIA ON A SILVER PLATE. We want our children to have adequate skills in terms of education and job creation at the same time. Go HH GO my vote is waiting for you come October 30.

  48. villagers make two thirds of voter’s population and the don’t understand HH language.He requires more experience.Its one thing to be an academician and another thing to be a leader. vote wisely

  49. HH is old enough. He is the same age with Obama who is poised to be next USA president and essentially president of the world. So if Obama is old enough to be president of the world, what is so difficult about HH being president of Zambia whose economy is about 10% of that of USA. VIVA HH

  50. viva HH i was not certain about who to vote for “ladies thing” but after listening to HH on race to plot 1 hey i see my vote going to him…

  51. HH is the man, what else do you want guys? Will be crossing to Zed on 25/10/08 with my family just to vote for the man. Its now or never. Viva HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  52. #79 for your information HH got three quarters of the votes in the rural. people in the villege understand him clearly becuase he came from the village like most of us. VIVA HH

  53. I had yet another opportunity to listen to HH and as usual was quite impressed with the way he handled himself and addressed issues on race to plot 1.They say,”today’s youth are tomorrow’s leaders.”Surely is it going to be a trend that whenever the need for elections arises we will be going to the bag of re-cycled politicians?When will our tomorrow come?When will our contribution ever going to be needed?Here is a gallant young man who has offered himself to help resolve the economic woes our country is facing.Let’s move forward please.Viva HH!!

  54. just accept pa bwato pipo that the man is brilliant. i admire the way he explains things good teacher, adviser,role model every good word just suits the gentleman. thanks to the O’might God that you are not like ‘pabwato pipo’ who are known to have degrees in making noise anyhow. Maybe its because they are about to sink? help my pipo zambia

  55. Iwe your HH is part of the problem, the current economic problems we are facing was because he was partand parcel of the mis-selling of our resources and ended up gaining himself. look at his history with his workers. how does he plan to solve our economic woes. how do you explain his wealth. tell people the truth.

  56. 88 can you refer all queries pertaining to privatisation to Chiluba!!!! Leave this progressive zambian alone.

  57. # 56, way to go. HH’s vision/plan for Zambia is good. The young man would definitely want to prove himself starting this year so that he continues through to 2011.
    On the other hand the two ‘madalas’ have few years not only in politics but to their lives too. They are not thinking of Zambian future but their pockets so that it takes care of them when they retire. KK is the best example. Look how he’s excited by a house which he really does not need now.

    I am campaigning for HH too like you.

    HH for president bane.

    Viva HH!
    Viva HH!

  58. It is dangerous to have leadership that can not see their country in long terms. The issue is to have management that looks at Zambia, 20 to 30 yrs from today. Rome was not built in one day. Selfish leaders think of only short term policies and results.

  59. HH, y were u hiding when Mazoka was around.Anyway, i understand the strategy – if u too were making alot of noise it would have looked like only vocal and intelligent guys were tonga in UPND hence making it it look like a tribal party.You were really impressive on that interview,Race to plot 1.Am sure that yo appealed to many Zambian hearts.

  60. #93 I agree with you 100%, these finished old men just want to leave something for their children/grandchildren before they die. They would do whatever it takes to acquire anything at the expense of our country so let’s not give them any chance. This is the time for the new generation. Viva HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  61. Sata appears to be stuck in northern province. has the boat hit an iceberg already. PF supporters can you get your president another boat, probably he needs a speed boat because the nalikwanda he is using at the moment seems to be too slow. If that is the way he gonna run the country then we are in trouble. These days you need to move quickly. Last week USA lawmakers dalayed to make a decision on the USA financial market and the country made a $1.2trillion loss.

  62. Zambia requires serious foreign but controlled investments. Only a credible leadership will attract such investments. Zambia has enough resources to develop. The rains are adequate, The forests are plenty with trees for honey for export, the minerals are plenty, the rivers are beyond comparison with many countries. But we need leaders with visionary planning. Not a leader who can not even afford to put up a garden.

  63. HH made quite an impression on ZNBC Race to Plot 1. Let us give credit where it is due. The man has a viable manifesto. Let us give him a chance and give our old fellas a rest. They had their chance.

  64. #98 other than Magande who these fools did not chose, HH is the only candidate who explained to us how he intends to empower zambians and for his he explained it in very basic terms, if God is a zambian, this guy will rule this country after October 30th, this is the real deal.

  65. #21,YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY BEMBA WHO SUPPORTED PF AND DISLIKED HH,BUT AFTER LISTENING TO HIM LAST NIGHT AND FOLLOWING HIS ISSUE-BASED TALK,I TOLD MY WIFE THAT ZAMBIANS SHOULD NOW VOTE FOR QUALITY LEADERSHIP.AS FROM YESTERDAY,ME AND WIFE PUT ZAMBIA AHEAD OF OUR TRIBE,HH HAS SUBSTANCE BANE.ZAMBIA DESERVES BETTER(WORDS FROM MY WIFE LAST NIGHT),AND HH IS FINALLY OUR PICK.REMEMBER THERE IS THIS GLOBAL ECONOMIC RECESSION,AMERICA AND EUROPE ARE HIT ALREADY,LEST VOTE FOR THIS MAN FOR THE SAKE OF OUR CHILDREN AND NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

  66. What we do in this election as a country is critical. We all have one common enemies as a country. These common enemies affect each of us regardless of tribe, creed, race, gender or culture. The common enemies are:
    1. Ignorance. Disregard for good education is dangerous. That is why we support blind leaders(with little or no education)
    2. Backwardness. Botswana today is much richer than Zambia and yet at independence they only depended on Beef. It is not because of diamond recently discovered, but because they have visionary well educated leadership.Botswana has students every where because leadership understands the value of good education.

  67. HH is the man. He has gained popularity in a lot of places he did not in 2006. He is the best man for now. Others are too old and too sick

  68. Asked how he intends to empower Zambians, he said “exp: A road contractor cannot at the same time crush stones; let the crushing of stones be given to sme’s that way that sme can access a bank loan to buy machinery based on the sub-contract” he called this “Contract Discrimination” guys if we want this country to grow, le us get our act together. He also said the AGs report says MMD since 2001 have misapplied 14.7 trillion kwacha which is equivalent to the budget for this year!!!!

  69. 102 campaign to remove MMD from power, PF. and UNPD are opposition parties u seem to beobsessed with SATA, u are behaving like uli ku kampelwa, at the playground

  70. Good policies and justifications coming out of HH. Unfortunately he has his work cut out for him trying to shake off the tribal tag upon which he was elected to the UPND presidency… You have from now until 2011. In the interim, we are listening…

  71. ITs always good when u have grown to retire. the problem with zambian politicians they always want to cling to positions even if their age can not allow them. this time we have vote wisely.

  72. Spectator, come to your senses. Pabwatooo! What for? Lets save Zambia, our motherland. Not a bashikulu! Poverty is too much, illiteracy (including failure to logically think and make right decisions) are too much. You heard for yourself. Bushe, bashikulu can articulate himself that way? Bashikulu well send away all chinise investers, indians, disband NCC, and impose 26 bi elecections. The cracy story I heard in Mpika was that he will also prohibit any imports of ARVs so that all those infected with HIV could die quickly to reduce on the number of people infected in the country. What a shame. Vote wisely.

  73. #73, Chosani,
    You have deliberately ignored some issues on Sata’s record including vehemently supporting Kafupi’s third term bid, Chawama genocide, blocking people he does not like from attending an MMD convetion, 2 billion kwacha saga, Sata vs his MPs ( the so-called rebels), failure to hold a convetion in his party since its inception, Character-attacking-based campaigns. Sata is a disaster please.

  74. i cant wait to listen to mr sata on race to plot 1 coz it will be drama ward chairman..better tv….i was the first one…police men with tone shoes…ma chinese…

  75. Why are so many of us living or working outside Zambia. It is because the economy is bad in Zambia. The answer to improving the economy lies in choosing a capable in this regard educated leader. If we disregard good education from this debate then we are doomed. Look at America. All its leadership have been well educated. Good education is the key to unlock poverty, backwardness, ignorance among many vices cripling our country.

  76. lets us not regret thereafter,we need proper choise,vote for better change…vote HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  77. I watched ZNBC news yesterday. The news coverage was as follows:
    19:00 – 19:15 hrs RB campaign in Livingstone
    19:15 – 19:16 hrs HH comment on that program
    How do they expect voters to make informed decisions if they deprive us of information during prime viewing time? The bit that was showed about HH made sense as opposed to the first 15 minutes of the news. ZNBC needs equal coverage of all presidential aspirants.

  78. Atleast HH has said something practical and ever sine he was corruptly elected as UPND presidential candidate.The Man need to first grow and then he can think of becoming president of the republic but as for now we all know we do cast our vote dont we?Pabwato the only practical party.lets not split the votes

  79. #121 you sound emphatic and where do you get this fact from? Becaue I can tell you for a fact, Eastern province, Southern, North westerm, western have already made up their minds to get on with HH, he is remaining with one province which from what I hear is Lusaka and central to a greater extent, so please give us facts and I willing to swallow my words.

  80. #124 you have to accept that your leader is ugly. Just imagine where you are there having to go to the airport to receive an ugly president like sata or RB. HH belongs to the new generation and belongs to the saying that beautiful ones are yet to be born. When Sata and RB were saying that then HH was born. The only thing I like about this guy is that he repects women. He is not a skirt hunter.

  81. # 128 just keep your evil thoughts to yourself dont you know that R.b is the most handsome guy at his age.Kuti wafwaya akaiche at his age aganiwebo,it is a sign that he is handsome just look at his wife

  82. # 128, Chris,

    I love it when you are yourself and debate issues. This one on 128 is below your standard. Let us respect every human being because we were all fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God (Sata and RB included). Leave number 124 alone, he is below your standard.

  83. #130 Which wife are you talking about my brother? That is his grand daughter. The girl just wants to benefit from the poor man when he kicks the bucket, which is not very long from now.

  84. objective plans but we needed to know the ”how” the progms were going to be implemented

    it is easy to say you can be rich…. but how do you achieve the goal is what is important

  85. PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

  86. #130 beauty belongs to the holder. In Zambia where poverty levels are very high a “sugar daddy” can get any kill he feels like. It is a shame that RB even got that woman for his wife. I do not know what RB’s oldest son Andrew call that woman.

  87. The time is now. Vote HH. We deserve better. We have no excuss to being poor. Zambia has being peaceful, it is endowed with a rich natural resources,an extensive human resource base and goodwill from neighbouring countries. So what is the problem. It is poor management of the economy and public resources by those in government. We need an Economic Manager – Vote HH for real change. His time is now. Vote HH.

  88. #130 beauty belongs to the holder. In Zambia where poverty levels are very high a “sugar daddy” can get any girl he feels like. It is a shame that RB even got that woman for his wife. I do not know what RB’s oldest son Andrew call that woman

  89. By the way, did you know that Zambia has highest pump price of fuel in the region (about US$ 2.5 per litre) when in Angola the price is US$ 0.30. Why not import fuel from Angola (send a high powered presidential delegation to negotiate for this). The problem is that there is now political will in this country to foster real economic growth. Vote HH. His time is now.

  90. Ubwato=progress,Ubwato=progress,Ubwato-progress,Ubwato=progress,Ubwato=progress,Ubwato=progress,Ubwato=progress,Ubwato=progress

  91. UBWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
    Forming the next govt. whether you like is or yes.

    Man of the people, more than 800,000 of them who voted for him in 2006. Get your voter’s cards ready… there’s only a few more days to go.

    WINA AZACHUCHA.
    PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  92. Zambia belongs to all Zambians. HH has shown that he means well for the ZAmbian people.
    Howevr, vote for Sata, Pabwato, to make sure the NCC is dis-banded. When this happens, Zambia will not have a people driven Constitution in many many years. This means PF will derail the progress of Zambia’s economy.
    Nipabwato to destroy the Zambian economy.

  93. #142, Zgito

    You would do Sata a favour if you debated issues rather than threatening potential electorates with words like whether you like is or yes (forcing matters), or WINA AZACHUCHA. You seem to confirm our fears and reservations that we have with Sata as president. Indeed Zambia is not safe in the hands of PF.

  94. Our society is full of uncivilzed people .
    look at the rate of poverty in our country but God loves zambia and hence we have been blessed with an economic governor zambians in zambia come october 30 vote for HH for the betterness of our economy.free education free health i think zambia will just be like a heaven on earth.please vote wisely vote for HHHHHHHH

  95. MWAICHE HH ULIWAMANO. my two sons need yo help, my brothers en sisters too. VIVA HH FOR PLOT ONE. ABa bena baziba che pakamwa

  96. HH has no backing of his MPs, how do you expect him to win a national election. Stop living in denial, those of you who are in contact with UPND get the facts on your own. The man cannot win this election, come what may!!!

  97. The man convinced me beyond doubt that he has all what it takes for presidency. Plan as if you will die a million years from now and live as if you are dying today; so why wait for 2011? Who knows what tomorrow has. I can forsee industries opening, teachers, doctors, policemen, and the rest of us enjoying the benefits of education. I have great respect for Sata and Banda but at their age they may not have new ideas apart from correcting the mistakes of others. Miyanda has isolated himself for too long but as for me he is the second best to HH.

  98. #153, Chilufya Sata,

    Sata has rebel MPs, i’m yet to hear of the rebel MPs in UPND. If i missed the news of rebel MPs in UPND, kindly update me.

  99. Ba PF are now getting worried. We told you that your leader was too old. How can he tke the whole week in 1 province. It is beacuse he keeps resting. HH is gaining ground in Lusaka. When the campaign started I said that the person who is likely to benefit from Levy’s absence is HH and very soo you will face reality. Zambians are not interested in another by election.

  100. Have u seen the headline in the Daily Mail??? RB Supports lower taxes. Viva PF Viva Sata. HH and RB are now speaking your language – low taxes more money in our pockets. I love this. Sata has been talking about low taxes form 2001 and many thought he was crazy. Questions like where is the money to run government going to come from were raised. Today even those who mocked him are now saying low taxes. Sata come on continue leading whilst others follow. Viva Sata.
    Viva HH 2011

  101. chilufya Sata zambians behave like people who vote on big brother africa if their say lets vote maxwell out their will do just like that you cant stop them. my word to you is just pray hard.

  102. I have no problem with HH as long as MMD is out. He can articulate isues, but it is only appreciated by the people who understand econimics of the country, the people in villges and componds do not, that is where the numbers are. Politics are about numbers. Let us wauit to hear from other candidates and decide afterwards.

  103. # 152 Hachigubu Hachihaha (HH) will never be the same as Obama. Let us compare like with like. Obama does not receive cattle for campaign from his followers !!!!

    HH will never rule Zambia!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  104. yes we are tired of mmd. just to remind all u kaponyas you will continue with your kaponyas mentalite if 1.you vote for pf/mmd. we want someone who will empower us with knowledge of owning our own buses and taxis not everytime saying ba bwana, bosses no wonder we have to many kaponyas becoz of poverty.

  105. Stewardship is more than setting up soup kitchens and overnight shelters. It is good and right that we reach into the river of despair and rescue people who are drowning. But it is time to move upstream and see who’s throwing them in.

    be wise

  106. Ba #148, only the guilty need be afraid of the unknown. Does an inocent person punic whenever he sees a police officer walk by?
    What we basically need right now is a “broom” to sweep out all the “chuff” from our current government… the best person for this job is no other than… you know who because who’ll deal with the chuff accordingly! The levels of corruption are at such escallating levels even from the top most and we should stand aside hugging the nonsense?

    No fear my brother, we are safe in the boat. Only the corrupt need to be afraid and punic at this stage.

    PABWATO!

  107. #163 you despise cattle and that is why your leader is poor. strong economies of small countries like england, ireland and new zealand are based on cattle. Even HH’s wealth is 60% cattle. Zambians now know that it is better to have a cow than a katemba. Real wealth does not lie in selling/trding but in production. Sata’s investment is a chain of women, what a shame. Dont get surprised when your leader cannot get votes from the rural areas. By the way next time you eat know that your food came from a farm and not katemba.

  108. My special plea to my fellow zambians is that “Please let us be open minded and give merit were it is due and act wisely”.

  109. #171 our country has a long way to go. People’s love for their country is still far behind. Presidency has a lot of pressure and to take a man with heart failure is not right no matter how that man. We are spending K231billion in this election because we voted for levy even when his health was in doubt. As if that is not bad enough we now have people advocating for another sick person. simply unbelievable.

  110. #157 Chris, idon,t know what u are talking about. Northern province is vast and its population is western and north western combined. As for Lusaka, i really don’t know which Lusaka you are talking about. Where is HH gaining grounds? HH 2011 Sata 2008. Full Stop.

  111. If Sata wins the presidency and dies in office before 2011 what will the rest of the world think of us. Will the ECZ go back to the donors to fund the by-election. Dont be emotional whne making big decisions like electing a head of state.

  112. VJ has gone to rig the elections in the name of ear problem and flown to J/berg. Open up your minds people. ballot papers are being printed in S/africa…

  113. #177 you dont know zambia. I have been to all the provinces except luapula and I can tell you that the most difficult province to cover in Zambia is western province because of sand. mongu – kalabo is about 70km but it can take you 5 hrs because of getting stuck in sand. You might not like it but the truth is that sata is sick and he can not move at the pace he did in 2006. in 2006 sata covered luapula and noerthern in 1 week before he went to eastern province via chama. Accept it your leader is sick. there is no know cure for heart failure which could have cured him and neither did he have a heart transplant.

  114. Ba chris you are the people we want here on LT people who are ABLE to see and give a good analysis on the matter. not just blablablabla

  115. Number 163, Chilufya Sata. I am surprised at your naivity. Obama’s supporters and well wishers donate funds and other resources for his campaigns. In African culture, cattle is an important resource, and HH’s supporters donated resources such as cattle which can be translated into finances for his campaigns. Zambians are now alive to the fact that this country needs a youthful leader with a long term vision and focus on development in his country. HH is much like Obama – he priotises economic development and ensuring that Zambia establishes its legitimate place in the world – to be a prosperous country admired by even you. HH is the next president of Zambia.

    Keep it up Chris No. 169.

  116. RB supporters, just so you know, RB’s visit to the southern province has been a flop. Sakwiba is just making him look more desperate but diverting from issues talking, as usual, about Sata and HH. May the best man win. Did anyone notice that RB said there are only 3 men in the race when he was speaking in Mwandi? Memory problem or is he just disregarding the Brig. Gen?

  117. #177 even though.Zambia is too big.Concentrating on Northern Province alone will not win Sata,even if he spent the whole year compagning in 1 province,he would not get 100% so if he was serious about winning would try to get all the parts of the country but because he is tribal,he will concetrate only on Northern.His competitors r on the Move,HH is in Eastern making huge progressive,whereas rb is in Southern.Dont underrate HH you could be in for a rude shock.The Man is really gaining ground

  118. people lets open our eyes to issues around us;even if some are saying Sata is a dictator, have you forgotten what happened to Saki in UPND when Mazoka died?the succession issue?can someone tell me that what happened then was really democracy?c’mon guys let us not be carried away by HH’s sweet talk.Vote wisely.

  119. #169, Chris “Hachigubu” who told you Sata is poor? Mudala poor is relative and your definition of being rich (owning cattle) is not everybody’s definition. Do people like e.g Donald Tramp in the U.S. own cattle… or maybe is the number of cattle you have the new way of defiing how rich you are in Zambia?

    Be real Iwe Hachigubu! Atase!

  120. PIPO, PLEASE. Abo abalepeela deadline for the NCC to conclude.. Mwabalumba sana. Does he know the entire schedule of the NCC for him to give that deadline?

    Do NOT misquote me. I’m sick of their dragging (NCC) & a deadline is a perfect line of thought but, HOW has he come up with THAT deadline?

    He has good qualities but is showing signs of inexperience & probably did not take a good consultation before coming up with the date.

  121. The best time to have planted a tree is now. The winds of change a blowing in all directions. Time for change is now. Vote for change, vote HH.

  122. In addition to #186 northern province is number 5 in terms of the most populated province according to the electoral register. The order is Lusaka, cb, southern, eastern, nothern, central, western, n/western and luapula though am not sure between luapula and n/western. so campaigning in 1 province ranked number 5 does not show political experience even if you want 100%. It just shows desperation.

  123. Pipo dont waste time we have seen the man talk, hamble clean and issue base.un like RB WHO THOUGHT WOULD MANAGETO BE CONSISTANT WITH ISSUE BASED CAMPAIGN.HARDLY WEEK HE STARTED NAME CALLING NOT SUPRISING THAT IS WHAT HE IS.COME ON ZAMBIANS THINK ABOVE FOOD THINK ZAMBIA.HH YOU THE ONE.

  124. i salute you Mr CHRIS you are the right man we need in such debates. sata’s pipo cant understand real issues. they spend time shouting pabwato instead of realising that they can land themselves in another presidential by election. be serious how will the world say???????????????

  125. Sata has just finished Luapula and he is now heading to Western Province. Next Week he his covering North-western than Eastern. One thing we ought to understand is that none of the candidates will get 100% in any province. We have 22 day to campaign and the boat is moving. What matters in campaigns is not necessary what the Candidates are doing but what the operators on the ground are doing. Sata learnt a lesson from 2006 and now he his more prepared. It took him a week in northern province becoz he opted to travel by road between town as opposed to flying. Strategy. PF on the move, slowly but sure. I see the boat on the river. HH is in it so is RB.

  126. Well said 184, may be #163 can donate monkeys to sata for his compaighns and see if he will raise any money out of that. Just look at how a monkey looks like and yet it is food for bembas. God gobid.

  127. Sata is poor by his age. Even me at 35 am richer than him because I have invested wisely while sata invested in women. Sata’s wealth is public knowledge because he declared it when he filed for his nomination. Yes Trump is rich and so is HH. Yes there wealth is from diferent sources but if you look at the zanbian econmy today without a proper stock exchange and illiterate majority who dont understand financial markets, what is the easiest way to empower majority zambians other than through farming. Bring USA home and you will realise that in Zambia we need to empower people throrugh agriculture especailly animal keeping. People must have food

  128. #189 This man is a learned man. He does calculate. He is a Computer man using modern methods, not those which were being used by our ancestors. The other two candidates are in the age group of my grandfather and have madala ideas. Please HH save Zambia from economic peril. We need an economic Manage not a stone throwers and UNipists and kaponyas. If one fails to develop his own farm after being a leader for 30 years, is that person going to manage to Develop Zambia in 3 years ?
    No Chance for Kaponyas HH for President.

  129. So bembas values monkeys more than cattle? One wonders why they are able to support a finished politian like satan.

    RBB how can a clean man HH join hands with corrupt elements?

  131. I dont knoww if they value monkeys more than cattle because the province doesnt have any monkeys. All the monkeys were turned into munani. Cattle is also extict or facing extiction in the province. Poeple generally keep their valued possessions

  135. #210 continued:
    RBB how can a clean man HH join hands with corrupt elements? What impresses me is that Banda is clear that HH will not rule in …, but in Zambia – by God’s grace. If you BELIEVE Mr RBB, that is you choice. We are not joking we are looking at REALITY that HH is forming the next GRZ.

  136. I AM MADE TO TRUST THAT SATA IS THE ONLY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WITH A CLEAN RECORD OF CORRUPTION. IF THE MAN HAD CORRUPTION ISSUES I DON’T THINK THE MMD GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE LET HIM PUT THEM UNDER PRESSURE LIKE THIS. mY VOTE GOES FOR HIM SO THAT HE CAN COME AND SWEEP ALL THESE CURRUPT MEN AWAY!

  137. Iwe Superman…..Zambia can definitely do without you so i wont comment further. Why this 2011 rubbish..Elections are now not 2011.
    RB is definately the worst of the three(or sorry four). I would have loved a SATA HH Combination to beat MMD but alas LOOKS LIKE IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE. Now SATA is a hardworker but i doubt his ability to understand complex issues in this mordern world. Sorry PF supporters…but facts are facts. You can not run away from the truth. So HH is the man. I know in our scheme of things it is not the best man who wins. In 1991 I thought Mwanawasa was the best to take over from Kaunda…the marjority zambians were excited with Chiluba…The rest is History. HH HH HH HH

  138. From the Zambia Daily Mail, here is how RBB put it:
    “I would have liked it so much if the UPND joined other opposition political parties in supporting my candidature because I strongly believe that there is no chance in h e l l for Mr Hichilema to form government in this country….He would have made meaningful contribution to the Zambian political scene if he had decided to be part of our team,” Mr Banda said.
    Very bad tone of language from an aspiring Presidential Candidate. What else shall Zambians and our Children learn from RBB is use of certain words?

  139. NO RIGGING. HH has come to stay:
    “ECZ to display results
    The Electoral Commission of Zambia says it will display results of the forthcoming presidential election at various polling stations after the counting process is concluded.ECZ Senior Public Relations officer, Sylvia Bwalya, told ZNBC on Monday that the commission has adopted a system used in Zimbabwe.

  140. By the way Hate HH or Love him…losing will not affect him in any way and it will definately not affect ME in any way because i am well educated and skilled(By International standards) to survive the harsh reality of poorly managed zambia. So pipo like SUPERMAN who would like to see the contunuition of the mabengas,teta,mpombo,maybe vj,munkombwe,etc GOOD LUCK!!! I REST MY CASE.

  141. RB sugar daddy has hired 4 image builders from USA to help him with ther campaign.

    My foot, MMD is downgrading Zambians. Do we need an American to tell us how useless RB is? Because thats the USA RB image builders have said or deduced. Now they will bring in riggers from abroad.

    Zambians lets watch MMD & their desparation. HH and Sata stop attacking each other, both of you the common enemy is MMD not the Zambian Voters. Rigging can only be done by MMD.If u cry foul later we wont support you to (PF & UPND) because it’s inevitable rigging will take place to some extent.

  142. Thanks my fellow Zambians that we are able to see things as people with the capacity of knowing the character and ability of people. RB didnt not show any intelligence,ability to handle issues or any character of a leader with a vision for the country.Why should this time people like Mabenga, chiluba, VJ and Mulongoti with their cheap intelligence stand on his side that he is the favorite? The man has no moral fabric and manners at all. U can tell from his marriage. What example is he going to show to our young sisters, they will be thinking going out with Sugar Daddies is a normal thing.Public image is important, this is what the post newspaper is teaching.

  143. 223 POINT….I WISH PIPO like 227 Anonymous could articulate issues like you….i wish i could met you inperson so we articulate issues for the good of our country…CHEERS

  144. I ve noticed those posting here are in foreign countries are you honestly going to vote or you are reling on ppl from Zambia to tell you what is happening back home coz the way you write wont influence votes those ppl in zambia rarely bruises the internet and cant be swayed by your opinion abt HH JST CONTINUE dreaming

  145. RBB confirms that the Southern Province is an Important Economic Development Contributor in Zambia.
    “Mr. Banda was speaking at a campaign rally in Choma on Monday.
    He said Southern Province is an important area because of its enormous contribution towards Zambia’s economic development.
    He said his ambition is to bring the province into the main stream of development by ensuring that people from the area are part of his new cabinet.”

  154. Fellow bloggers i have unearthed old newss papers detailing sata ‘s corruption.
    1. In appointment of contractor & construction of Merzaf Flats
    2. Corruption in the allocation of Merzaf flats to his friend and reklatives
    3.The k2 billion stollen from parliament to fund MMD conventiom
    4.The K210 million cheque over@ BOZ to print this constitution on which are now spending money on
    5. The matchetting of opponents in chawama, wilding gun and pangas
    6. Insulting Mpezeni and the litunga when he was MMD Secretary
    7. Racist remarks againgst Zukas,Patel,suresh desai, on matters of constitution. Above all his by air formula in UNIP and his vigilantes demanding UNIP cards from all entering mkt

  155. #228 what more can you say about an inclusive President? He been speaking his home language to Zambians in other Provinces. He is trying very hard to accommodate the judgmental Zambians. He is a better character than
    Mr Sata who has no regard for other human beings who are not from his region and their language. HH was on a tractor dressed in a three piece suit when the Clean Up Campaign was launched. The man is completely out of touch with reality and the suit was a sign of being on a pedestal where the ordinary person will not reach him. To make it worse he is always surrounded by bodyguards. Completely out of touch with reality.

  156. by the way WHY ARE WOMEN not coming out in these elections..MEN ALL THE TIME..That is why we are in this mess…we need motherly touch to governance

  157. 245…Its about time you guys gave gender eguality some serious thoughts…yes try Masebo or Magret Mwanakatwe or even Florence Mumba for VP of Zambia

  158. What makes Sata dangerous is that the word ‘Team-work’does not appear in his vocabulary. That’s why he keeps talking about his achievements. He claims about having done this or that, but we know that a simple Governor of Lusaka of simple minister could not do what Sata claim to have done. He was simply riding on Government programs. By the way, what were Sata’s achievements in the Ministries he served under Chiluba – Local govt (Unpaid council workers and mezaf), Health(remember how Boniface Kawibe laid the ground Work for sata to get the credit), Labour(?), Without portfolio (expulsions)

  159. 247 thats is how we praised chiluba in 1991….WHY ARE U AFRAID OF CHANGE IMWE BANTU KANSHI!!!!!! Look at the state of affairs…EDUCATION

  160. The Rot u see around market of bakaponya and lawlessness. They were started by SATA. William banda as a vicious UNIP chairman was groomed by Sata. Now look at what has happened to minibus drivers and conductors. That nonsense came from the role modeling of Sata. Just imagine the rude indiscipline we have to do with on the roads from these ba kaponya and we give them the reigns of government. They will take over all gud morals and replace it with thuggery.
    WHAT EXAMPLES ARE GOING TO BE GIVING TO OUR CHILDREN. That education does not matter? Be serious the world has moved away from the comandist type, but free mkts which require high calibre to predict economic direction of this country. The

  161. LEAVE MUGABE ALONE.
    he has given africans a voice. at times one can be wrong and the whole world thinks its ok. but at time one can be right but the whole world would think its not right.

    Mugabe was right and you know it.

    HH IS RIGHT FOR ZAMBIA AND WE ALL IT.

  162. #256 No matter how much rubbish you write about Sata he winning this time around! JUST GO AND HANG YOURSELF BWANA!!

  163. Zambians are naive and retrogressive.Less than two decades ago we were queing for Cooking Oil,Bathing Soap,At the Bus stops,Mealiemeal,No local buses, let alone forex,as confirmed by VJ in the goverment’s newspaper that came out a couple of days ago.

    So vote SATA for progress,RB for going back to queues, and HH for tribal/uncertainty.

  164. Mudala # 261 BB King, walasa.
    Blimey! Thank God we still have a few Zambians who still think.

    Ho Ho Ho. Tell those tutongas it is Ho Ho Ho not Ha Ha Ha.

    Father Christmas on the boat to give outsweets not sugar.

    Ho Ho Ho! Cheers mune.

  165. #261 How is HH tribal? He speaks english plus local languages when campaigning, look who only speaks his langauge …. you are right SATA. So, maybe zed should go for the future, as the others are re-cycled unipists.

  166. Iwe ka Miyoba #264. You know icibemba is spoken almost through out Zambia. There is Welsh in Wales but if I went there the Welsh will understand English and communicate with me effectively. This is the reason even imwe mwetwasambilila still switch to icitonga when you meet your friends.

    Father Christmas is not being awkward here, a certain Maestro Ha Ha Ha sometimes writes in icitonga. I can challenge you to find out how many people understand him other than ututonga only. When I write in icibemba even the man from Kabompo understands. Yu are a very bitter tribe. Ho Ho Ho! I am out to do some work. Ho Ho Ho!

  167. Stupid Satanic bloggers…..this sata and HH nonsense should end. You dunder heads you cant sense that RB has already won.
    Prepare yourselves for RB @ plot1

    Rb chabe

  168. I propose that no ballots with SATA’s name should be allowed where he has not visited.

    We villagers often make mistakes. So to minimise those mistakes make sure that SATA ‘s name is not there at all.

    Why should SATA have the privelledge of appearing on ballots where he has not visited. sha

    Where is SATA hiding these days eh, where is he. Let him come all else.

  169. # 266 Respect, use “ka” to your buddies and me.Welsh is not English, Scottish is not English, might sound similar, its not period.Is bemba close to Lozi, your example is soooo shallow, just exposing your intellect.If you feel Sata is the way to go thats you, not every1, RB is better than Sata by far.And HH is better than Sata.

    Tribal issues only comes one part of zambia, and you all know where.Just listen to all the candidates and u know whos soooo unnzambian.

  170. #270 Kwena ka Miyoba tautontonkanya. You are agreeing with me but putting up a fight. Look at my post again. Stop getting yourself in a Sphagetti junction son.

    Example yacilalanda ati icibemba no tutonga tulomfwa. Lozis get and can speak icibemba as well. Blimey this kamutonga man!

    I have sweets for you son. Will get the for you from my boat. Ho Ho Ho!

  171. # 271 I cannot read and understand that ligua by the way. Write in english.I’m not even Tonga , so who’s getting it wrong ?

  172. #267 leka ubupuba iwe…let people be free to analyse issues of national interest.kamushi iwe atase!!

  173. HH cadres, failure to accept reality is detrimental.

    HH has recked UPND which the great Mazoka built. This evidenced in the number of seats which UPND has lost ever since he took over. Insiders are claiming he does not listen to advice because he is very educated and wealthy – hence the silence of most of his MPs during this campaign.

    If a person is failing to manage a provincial party, how can he manage a country? Politics is beyond personal wealthy and education, remember Mwalimu Nyerere – he was a teacher. Amen.

  174. By the way, you guys talk of queueing for sugar etc, who was in GRZ when all this was going on? RB and Sata, yes. Stop using shallow examples etc, just say you want your tribes man to be presido, again, after a disastrous one with FTJ, SATA, etc . Stop beating about the bush ….. TRIBALIST.

  175. PF is NOT national. If it was national it could have scored well in all provinces even outside thier strong-hold.MMD is the only national party, thats why RB will carry the day.

  176. #276 Ka Miyoba. You responded to my post #266 which I deliberately wrote with a bit of icibemba in it.

    This is what Father Christmas calls selective reading!

    Look your name gives you away.

    Kwena ututonga eeee!

  177. Iyo ba Father Christmas muli chipuba. You are the people who make us Bembas look tribal. Shame on you. If Tongas are ututonga then even us Bembas should not be offended when we are called names by others. VIVA HH.

  178. Iwe koni umfwa kuno. If it is tulu you are in the UK as you flag suggests, the you should see the irony in my posts.

    Tell me you have a brain the size of a grain! Ho Ho Ho.

    You are free to support who ever you want. But, the fact is icipuba niwe. Ho Ho Ho something tells me you are akamutonga.

  179. no. 276/277 you are right…but stop contradicting yourself. One one hand you say RB was in GRZ when we were queing for Sugar while on the other hand you say RB should win. What are you talking about????

    For me, Its viva Magande in 2011, for now the inevitable is likely

  180. #275.Chilufya Sata. Your analysis is very shallow. The lack of principles on the part of the MPs in UPND caused by the drain induced by LPM started even when Mazoka was still president.Dont you remember how MMD under LPM’s leadership bought or bribed MPs like Masebo from PF, Nyirongo from ‘Village concept’, Teta from UPND, Shikapwasha etc. Just tell us the qualifications of Sata for him to be president. Zambia needs a president who can convince the international community for serious investment in our naturally rich country.

  181. It really does not matter where I am and what you think but the point is you need to respect all humanity, it does not pay to belittle others. Anyway smart brains do better than what you have just displayed in your postings. I however rest my case with you as I would rather discuss issues than resorting to belittling others coz that is a sure sign of defeat.

  182. Father Chrismas says #282 is Miyoba!

    How do I get these things? Ho Ho Ho. Guys going to the boat to get some more sweets! Ho Ho Ho!

  183. We know that every tribe can be tribal and every race can be racial. But first I want to address the tribalist. There are many people that support Sata not because he is Bemba but because they are convinced by what he claims he can and will do. Equally there are many that support HH not because he is Tonga but because they are convinced he is the right man for the . There are also those who support RB because they believe that MMD should rule up to 2011.
    Now am appealing to all the tribalist that the time is running out. Put your tribes aside. Let us vote in a president with conviction of the heart. God bless our beloved country Zambia.

  184. Koni you were the first one to use insults. Happy to dish out and not receive? That is cowardice. Typical.

    Ho Ho Ho.

  185. yaba! am back i had to do a few things…i have seen that a few of those PF haters have given a thumb’s down on my comments on your so called intelligent man….

    Truth be told if HH was intelligent he would know what do and that is not to contest this election, but what can i say, Democracy at is best!!!

    YABA!!!VIVA SATA!!!TATA WESU!!!!

    PABWAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOO>>>>>>

  186. # 281 If real reasoning is part of you, you should be able to identify a fact. RB will win coz of MMD not coz of himself. The other fact is that he was in UNIP when we were queueing everything , even matches.Thats not contradicting myself, he will win, its a fact we all know this, even a slow thinking santa claus knows this.But the truth remains he is a re-cycled leader just like Sata.Nothing new will come from these two guys, you know that too.

    Gents, Zambia needs the “OBAMA” effect, new, fresh, educated, inspiring, etc.Then we have tribalist who just think an ex-cop and insulting illiterate and can be presido, that takes Zed seven steps backwards, even LPM is laughing his grave out

  187. Ba Miyoba mwilanyela ku source, you might fail to draw from there tomorrow lwenu!!!!

    PABWAAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOOO>>>>>

    In Lead for Sho!!!

  188. Thanks Father Christmas, very thoughtful of you!!!Am sure they felt to contain you, because you are hot and real!!!

    I here you have given them a run for their money….OH! i meant SUGAR!!!!

  189. The Spectator. The sugar bit made me laugh. Ho Ho Ho. Miyoba has changed to annonymous. Blimey! The is a coward. Then there was this other bloke who has publicly said he is giving up. Good on him.

    Ho Ho Ho!

    Ubwatooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

  190. dictators(KAPONYAS) will vote for SATA, thiefs(DAFT) will vote for RB.Only a foool cannot vor for HH. CONTINUE with your fake arguments.VIVA HH

  191. MMD are panicking,hiring image builders,honouring an incomplete hous to the former head of State,bribing chiefs that have now reversed the decision to support their rb,reshaffles in their campaign team and so on.All this tells you these are panicking.HH is on their neck.

  192. There is somebody who commented that HH’s mps are quiet.Douglas,Charles Kakoma,Garry Nkombo,Jack mwiimbu and others,are these not HH’ mps?I have just mentioned a few.

  193. Zambians discuss issues. Do not discuss tribes. Do not label your friend tribalist. Everyone likes his tribe.
    1.If u HATE another persons Tribe then its u who is a tribalist
    2.If u favour on person from your tribe even when they do not qualify then u are tribalist
    3.If u know of corruption of a candidate and u still want to vote 4 him because he comes from your tribe then u are tribalist
    4. If u hate the qualities,resouces of a man because he does not come from your tribe then u are tribalist
    So ZAMBIANS WHAT U ARE SOWING TODAY USING HATRED WILL MULTIPLY TO HIGHER LEVELS WHERE OUR CHILDREN WILL SPEND MONEY AND LIFE TO SOLVE BECAUSE THEIR WAR WILL HAVE BEEN STARTED BY THIS GENERATION

  194. THE SEED OF HATRED MUST BE STOPPED IF IT IS DIRECTED AT ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. OUR CHILDREN ARE ENTERING THE FUTURE WHERE LOVE,HUMAN RIGHTS,FREEDOMS,FREE DEBATE WILL BE PART OF THEIR VALUES IN SOCIETY. LET US NOT TEACH THEM TO HATE A BEMBA OR TONGA. u SAW THE WAR IN RWANDA, AND IN CONGO DURING KABILA.(READ THEIR ORIGIN AND MOTIVATION) THE VIOLENCE IN KENYA(READ HISTORY WHERE ONE TRIBE TOOK FERTILE LAND B4 AND ALL GOVT POSITIONS AFTER INDEPENDENCE)THE REAPING OF THESE FRUITS WAS DISASTROUS.
    ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION. LETS DIFFER ON PRINCIPLE BUT STILL REMAIN HAND IN GROVE. THESE ARE STANDARDS WE SHOULD SET FOR OUR CHILDREN
    AND THE FURTURE OF OUR NATION

  195. Having a PHD masters or whatever does not qualify somebody form becoming a presdo unless you say we should do away with diplomas or certificates education is in the mind not papers remember poltics is beyond wealth and education sata could have been harsh in the unip govt coz he knew the type of person who was his boss if you were humble with Kaunda he tok advantage and reduced you to a puppy so bane dont degrade SATA hez not a rebel its just that he reads ppls minds before they know what hez doing he can be a good leader thats why they get scared and write bad stuff about him being sick is no hindrance anybody can die nobody holds anybodys life except GOD hez our custodian

  196. Whether people like it or not HH is the best man that can uproot Zambia from the jaws of poverty created by Chiluba. He may lose the vote to take him to state house, but he will never lose the argument that he stands on the platform of truth and justice for all Zambians. one day will mark the end of failure.

  197. hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  198. #307 it is not a considence that Levy did better than Chiluba and Kaunda. It is because Levy was educated. He might not have been an economist but simply the fact that he was educated meant that he was traineable and could understand issues quickly. World over people are picking educated people to lead their countries. Ask Sata if he understands what is going on with financial markets in USA and how that will affect Zambia’s economy.My answer is he doesnt understand. There is no substitute for education in the 21st century.

  199. No. 128, it is not about looks but about abilities. It is not even about how well you speak English but leadership is about having strategy, boldness and having a thorough knowledge of the govt systems. Leadership is about attempting the unimaginable. It is not about how much wealth one has but the ability to manage the country’s wealth for the benefit of the citizenry. HH is so raw- never been an MP,never in GRZ- the list of “nevers” is endless. Learn from the Americans you dull Zedians. There, however educated you are,you cannot aspire for presidential office unless you’ve been state governor or a Senator. Let us wake up guys. HH is not fit to rule Zambia.
