MMD Chairman for Information and Publicity, Benny Tetamashimba says Patriotic Front Roan Member of Parliament, Chishimba Kambwili is likely to be taken to a tribunal for his alleged tribal remarks.
Mr. Tetamashimba, who is also Local Government and Housing Minister, said even though Mr. Kambwili will apologise to the people of North Western province, he breached the ministerial code of conduct.
He said it is an offence for any Member of Parliament to be tribal as they have all sworn to uphold the republican constitution.[quote]
Mr. Tetamashimba stated that failure by the Patriotic Front to punish Mr. Kambwili shows that they condone tribalism.
Mr. Kambwili is alleged to have used tribal remarks at a public rally against MMD Luanshya Constituency counterpart Simon Kachimba and the people of North-Western province.
Mr. Kambwili is reported as having said that the people of luanshya should blame themselves for the closure of Luanshya mine because they voted for a Luvale.
And Mr. Tetamashimba said the ruling MMD is strong under the leadership of President Banda and is not afraid of any opposition political party.
Mr. Tetamashimba said President Banda who is the preferred candidate of the ruling MMD for the 2011 general elections is more than ready to take on any political opponent.

That is the first thing to do. where is everyone?
The word tribalism is on the lips of every politician. The President talks about it. His wife pontificates about it. The Vice-President lectures about it. Ministers in Government don’t let go an opportunity to promise or threatento deal with ceratin tribes. Bembas think they are they only Zambians. Viva Sondashi.
Teta is a big mouth. He should be the one taken to the tribunal for buying 100 hearses. It’s like wishing the Zambian people dead.
Kambwili whats wrong wit cha?Do you think you are president already?Tribal politiics is a waste of time.This is twenty first century.
Bonse ba ngwele who likw attacking our presido for old age..what do you say now to RB standing in 2011. Come on this blog and say how old he is. You only see old age in your enemies and I hear now you want to use university degree, exclude our presido, how sickenning
VIVA Pabwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttttttttttoooo in 2011 ViVA King SATAAA
Iwe Teta,how can u buy 100 BLACK VEHICLES FOR CARRYING DEAD PIPO,HOW CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE solwezi council rates of 2.5billion?naiwe wine tulekutwala ku “tribunal” uleshininkisha lelo.
#3. dont worry. those hearses will be personal to holder vehicles for District Commissioners!!
Both Teta and Kambwili are full of 5h!t.
This is not an issue of cadreship. By nephew Leonard is a strong PF cadre but when it comes to issues of reasoning he knows RB in now president for all and whole deserves maximum support from all peace loving Zambians. People like Kambwili and Teta will always be there,Distracting people from major development solutions to petty personal issues. Let them Know that God can bring anyone He chooses into power in 2011. If the favourite for Teta is RB and Kambwili is Sata, let that be kept for 2011,for now we have RB as president thats all. Teta you have been given a nice Job by RB already, show us that you can work. If you still want RB in 2011 thats your internal duty to convice MMD.We go for best Manifestos.
Dont abuse Tribunals. Are they meant to attend to every nonsense that crosses a poltician’s inspid mind?
Both deserve to be eunuchs!!
What is the difference between Teta & Kambwili because to me they are both empty heads & they should all face the tribunal coz Teta was very tribal when adopting Bwezani for MMD presidency last year in October
We must accept that Hon Kambwili was extremely wrong to mention a tribe on a public rally. I attended that rally in Kitwe and Im Luvale. What next for me(as Luvale) and the PF. Hon Kambwili is full of 5hit. When he opens his mouth he closes the a.s and everything comes out thru the mouth. Any as for me he was speaking for the party PF. Voters in NWP are very important in 2011.
# 7 Lady chiza, wansekesha sana ati ama hearse will be personal to holder cars for DCs, awe kwena mwe. Makes me wonder whether it was really a priority to buy hearses in the midst of other requirements such as garbage collection and others. Next we will be told the hearses have no fuel in rural areas to transport the dead, next tyres are finished, next there is no money for service and so on and so forth and they will not even serve their intended purpose.
Teta please do not waste our time with issues revolving around this Roan MP who is a compliete Id10t.
Kambwili is an unedecated chap, I know him personally, and because of lack of education this is the reason why he said what he said…Thats why its high time learned pipo took up these positions that are being abused by pipo like Kambwili…honestly how do we develop like this with this carlibre of leadership…
The blog is boring! F.T.J, how are you?
deleted
#16 if its boring, go to the snake that saved a woman.
is Kambwili the first to utter words on tribal basis,
This Kambwili chaps should be dealt with .He was wrong to use use in todays politics
Bembas nevr to rule Zambia in our time. Kaleza, akalumbafye,kalumbatu,masempebiya etc. You should have remained across the Luapula River. You have brought confussion in Zambia you id[ots
#19 But should we keep staying with a wrong?
#16 Try a bulojobu
There you have it! all of you non Bembas who join Bembas when they accuse Tongas of tribalism…you see now! we have always told you that these chaps think they are the only Zambias # 2 you are spot on. Even Lubinda will be dumped by PF just wait! we are now seing the true tribalists. Viva Zambia…shame to the poor elitists
Bembas, ba natola fye. am sure they want to steal these heareses!
#20 are you okay,Bembas will always be on top.lets not be tribal
#20,21,22 MMD PURE 1;
Think you are being petty by insinuating that bembas have brought confusion in this country,and as if that is not enough you go to call us id10ts.Keep to yourself all this foolishness.
#18, that topic is probably mabisi by now!
So, we are to believe that Bemba’s are actually the true tribalists. My dearest Maestro would have loved this!
imwe tebonse aba bemba baba ngoyu wa bula amano. Isho insonselo sha chipumbu
Man of action Teta. tell them for “He said it is an offence for any Member of Parliament to be tribal as they have all sworn to uphold the republican constitution…. Mr. Tetamashimba stated that failure by the Patriotic Front to punish Mr. Kambwili shows that they condone tribalism.” is very serious.
As for undereducated characters, they can be allowed to work at low levels, but not the President’s office as we have experience with Mr Chiluba FTJ (Hon Doc, Malawi) who failed to appreciate good advice from the educated people who were his Ministers and Advisers. The purpose of that experience is to help us not turn back to do the same mistake which culminated into corruption being the order of the day in Zambia.

Let me just watch…..as the real identities emerge in Zambia….we surely will be better one day once the manupilation schemes are all uncovered…..
#27, welcome my dearest one! i missed you!
29 Mrs Maestro hehehehhee greetings and thank you. I am still busy clearing things, but I will next wek be blogging from another European Country, by God’s grace. It is nice how my old Passport is working here. It will surely serve until I appear home some few months from today when I will attempt to apply for a new one. Have a blessed day. Have a blessed day and let us move Zambia to greater heights as “One Zambia, One Nation“.

Will PF campaign in NWP. All the Bembas in Lumwana and Kansashi should start considering themselves very unsafe. We shall hire Karavinas from Kaoma. Just wait. Vima GaRu Bakabwaa
#24. yah bembas are really thieves, nowonder they are the majority in prison. twalichenjelesha, with long and swift fingers
Yapwa Fire pa Solwezi. All Bembas have been given six days to leave north western province. Lt hope you have a represententive in solwezi.
This is the end of PF…. they thought politics of tribalism will see them to plot one…..how naive! PF cadres tell us something kaili!!!!
#38 Is it true?
#22 It all goes to show that you are shallow minded and that you have hatred towards Bembas. While we don’t condone tribal remarks from Kambwili, not all Bembas are like him.Mind your language.
#Fide, You are as usless as Kambwili. F@@L
Have been quite for long watching you attacking bembaz……had it not been for Bembaz, Zambia could could have remained in the hands of colonialists. Bembaz fought tirelessly for all tribes in Zambia. But from the look of things its like most you who are condeming Bembaz you are uncivilised and you the same characters who have destroyed Zambia, becoz when we aim for change, characters like most of you on this blog you vote across tribal lines. Now you will continue suffering in your country. and some of you characters on this blog who are attacking Bembaz your ethinic groups are not even known you are just opening mouths anyhow, work up chaps and be civilised we are in a modern world. It is not my fought neither is a fought of my fellow Bembaz that you are not from the (BEMBA LAND)!!!!!!
# 40 It is true that all the bembas have been given six days to leave solwezi. There was a demo this morning. They matched to the PS office to be addresed. Reasons are that the Kaondes are not being respected and they are not been given jobs. They want the bemba HRO manager at the Mines to leave and some other bemba prominent business men. Ala tuli mucibe kuno.
Its not about the tribe its about someone’s personality, so all of you when you say Bembas, tongas what what, it does make any sense in this era things have changed , if Kambwili is wrong judge him on his personality not on his tribe.
No matter how much you will hate BEMBAZ, they will continue being the UNIQUE tribe in Zambia and no tribe will overcome them untill you ethinic groups become as cilvilised as them (BEMBAZ).
take the chap ther pliz…he needs to realise we all matter!!!
‘becoz when we aim for change, characters like most of you on this blog you vote across tribal lines’ Who are the ‘WE’ the Bembas,eh? We group yourselves like that you id[ots? You cannot be supported like that becoz you have chosen to be the Only ones around. Presidency in ZED will keep eluding you becoz other tribes have known you intensions. Bakabwala, impupu, bapumbafu imwee!!!!
sad in deed, we thought its only tongas who are tribal, am ashamed by the utterances from the mp. i think all of u in africa are tribal, ethinical and regional. let the cleansing continue. GOD BLESS THAT POTENTIALLY GREAT COUNTRY
#43 umuntu mutwe….wake up from your dreams! is that what you were taught that Bembas liberated Zambia??? Now I understand why you lot think you are the only ones who should rule eeeeh! Ask yourself where the material and financial resources that were used in the struggle came from seing there is none in your Bemba land! wake up and smell the coffe!
All tribes fought for independence!!!!!
Yet people complain about racism! What I have seen here is scary. I d i o t s from the same country showing how much of mugs they are-most have even changed their screen names and flags to hide from themselves. Africans never stop amusing. Yes you see it in the British but not to this level. One would have thought most bloggers on here are learned as they always claim to be yet they still think and behave like they are in the village in Africa. So what if one is Bemba, Ila, Kaonde Lozi or Tonga? Sometimes you sit and think there is something wrong with this (black) race. This is beyond belief. This is beyond being ludicrous.
We are busy talking about trbalism here in Zed, the Chinese have united and they are taking our resources away. By the time we stop, we shall remain wtih compltely nothing. BLACK ZAMBIANS, I wonder maybe the BRAIN IS EQUALLY BLACK. VERY SAD INDEED AS I STAY A EMBASSY PARK, IM EVEN TURNING IN MY GRAVE
Yes let them leave Solwezi in six days, we naver use to have thieves here not until they started flocking Solwezi, shatupesha impupu ichi.
the way our hair is, curled, thats how we even think, why cant be like, indians, chinese and the rest of other people, why talking about tribes, what benefit are we getting from it. whether someone is bemba or tonga or Lenje it doesnt change the fact that he is black and Zambian for that matter.
#50, Engine!
🙂 Hi to you all in this blog> koma abantu tamufwa lol
56, Dewian thanks and keep well.

The opposite and no less dangerous error is that belief in Christ releases men from keeping the law of God; that since by faith alone we become partakers of the grace of Christ, our works have nothing to do with our redemption. – EG White.
Language, clan, tribe are the first tools of affiliation and identity as human being. This affiliation is not by choice, but Birth-Rights. There are things that I may not like about my origin, however, they are what make the person I am today.
In short, if I am Luvale, I remain a proud Luvale until death, the same goes for Tongas, Kaondes, Ngonis, etc. Should i be offended at my being called by my origins, then I should ask yourself, why. Hon Teta’s groaning, moaning and dragging others in the mud of his own fury makes me wonder how comfortable Teta is with his God given background.
Whether you Bemba haters like it or not,Bemba is the most prominent tribe in Zambia and there language is the most commonly used.Even Tongas and other none Bembas sing in Bemba,Hamoba,K’millian,Mainzaetc.Bembas started Cha Cha Cha and drove out the British colonialists,Kapwepwe a Bemba even gave the name Zambia to our country naming it after the Zambezi.People like Maestro relish and glorify tribalism.Even Rocket Science and the Bible have failed to civilise them.This new dull MMD Pure 1 nonsense is pig headed and thinks his ranting will change facts.Without Bembas there could have been Zambia and Barosteland we united this land.
LT is also Anti-Bemba.Its a forum that promotes tribalism where people calling themselves Over educated like Maestro express tribal sentiments with every word they type.Even the Bible they quote and the Space & Rocket Science has failed to civilise them.Like it or not Bemba is the most prominent tribe in Zambia,language widely spoken even Tongas like Hamoba and Mainza sing in Bemba because its a beautiful sounding language jealous panse bakwindi!!
#59 Mulenga… wandepula” Abo bakwindi watamfisha panse!!!! Natuipekanye mune. The disgruntled characters are always trying to become like Bembas forgeting that ifwe, we, fwebena Kolwe are their ancestors in many ways … look at the story of evolution. I suppose the same can be told of the political evolution in Zambia and the Bembas.
59 Mulenga in Newcastle , on your “.Like it or not Bemba is the most prominent tribe in Zambia,language widely spoken even Tongas like Hamoba and Mainza sing in Bemba because its a beautiful sounding language jealous panse bakwindi!!“, I thought my lessons to you about the words TRIBALISM AND TRIBALIST helped you but you are still exhibiting your tribal behaviour. Are you ok? Do you understand English in its context or you comprehend it in Bemba Language? Wandismpuzya mani.

John 8:44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Ladies and Gentlemen of high credibility, our failure to mete out judgment on this Kabwili guy, but opt to generalize the issue is a potential and most fertile ground for tribal war. We are here wasting time attacking each, discovering the best English words to use against each other instead of devicing strong points on the way forward rather than the way backward. Kambili has chosen to be tribal, should you and I do that. Absolutely NO.
It very unfortunate for you all to discuss petty issues go into shanties and bring the real issue to discuss, we should be bold enough to look at the Goverment whether their doing much for the people than the issue of Kabwili.
