The ruling MMD in Southern Province says it is confident of scooping all the seven ward by-elections set for August 13, 2009.
Provincial Secretary, Emmerson Siamwela, told ZANIS in Mazabuka yesterday that the campaign strategy employed by the MMD will render the opposition United Party for National Development unpopular during the by-elections
Mr Siamwela said people of Southern Province have now realised that opposing government will not reduce the high poverty levels.
And Mr Siamwela has disclosed that the pact between the Patriotic Front and UPND has been perceived as a total betrayal to the people of Southern Province by UPND leader, Hakainde Hichilema.
He said people have since vowed to support the MMD in protest against Mr Hichilema’s decision to team up with the Patriotic Front.
The by-elections will be held in various wards of Mazabuka, Choma, Sinazongwe, Monze, Livingstone and Kalomo.
ZANIS
I will be one of the pipo who will be dissapointed if MMD wins this by-election.
What happened to the officer holders of these offices? Did all the counselors die
Just go ahead and rig!
Emmerson Siamwela muleikalafye you havent reduced the poverty levels ba Movement for Massive Destruction – MMD. And leave HH alone. Just speak for yourself, or else you will receive unprintables for mahala.
Ba Mat ati shani ?
This is a test for the PACT and its future
VJ arrived back just in time for the by elections. Sneaky bas.tard.
Ba Moze nikudala! how are you? You are already crying foul mudala sure.
Sharp Shooter, am ok boyi. You? Aba ba MMD cannot be trusted mudala. No sooner had the byelection date been announced, than VJ arrived back from China! What a coincidence mani.
MATWORLD MWANA, GOODMORNING AND HOW ARE U DOING TODAY?.. WHICH PARTY DO U SUPPORT MY DEAR?
Emmerson, dont start battles you can’t stand. Firstly you don’t understand the MMD how the hell do you expect to understand the PACT? If you have nothing better to say its better to keep it shut and await MMD downfall.
We’re tired of reading about MMD. Is this the only party there is in Zambia? LT, please try to balance your coverage. This is the mediocre journalism one blogger was complaining about the other day.
Ba Sharp Shooter,Iam great mudala wandi today iam just pa easy with everying.How about you How are you?
Walai Nthwenu.
Iam good my friend just chilling enjoying sunshine at least lelo gopd has blessed us with sunshine for the past few days kwalitalala namu fridge mwawamako.My dear I don’t support any political party,i just wanna change the govt too much of MMD.
Ba Moze.
How are you big man?I for one missed you so much.
i am in full support of the MMD candidate. He is fresh on the scene. Maybe he will manage to get chuck out the abena big noze and teta the corward.
So lets see how strong the pact is.
Nine Chale, walanda bwino sana. LT is too biased. MMD this, MMD that, we are sick and tired of them koma mwe.
Matworld, am ok mwana. Missed you too. Vinchito che. was out of town briefly. Kufika che, nakupeza Mpombo! Mulekeni ayende mwe.
Let us see what the pact can offer at this stage otherwise if they fail to win this one then their future should be very questionable
I never came to rig the elections, all I came to do is to see if I can do my usual business here in Zambia then go back to Russia to prepare for 2011..hahaha.
Ba Moze its good that your name was deleted in the voter register. Dont Panic.
Why are you panicking MMD’s Provincial Secretary, Emmerson Siamwela. Just wait for the results instead of trying to be a false prophet with your terrible disclosure “that the pact between the Patriotic Front and UPND has been perceived as a total betrayal to the people of Southern Province by UPND leader, Hakainde Hichilema… people have since vowed to support the MMD in protest against Mr Hichilema’s decision to team up with the Patriotic Front.“.
All the best in the elections and don’t hesitate to congratulate the winners when the election day(s) will be over — for I will be waiting to have the last laugh.

As for the UPND-PF PACT, please continue with the spirit of supporting a popular party’s candidate in a certain place as you have chosen to do. This move will help on minimising spending too much money. However, please go for preliminary Constituency and Ward elections in all parts of Zambia in 2011 electing people that will stand for 2011 tripartite elections so that competition yields a good harmony of the two parties across the whole lot of Zambia to end regionalism.
The so-called stronghold must be removed from our Zambian politics vocabulary for we are not at war. Tribalism and regionalism will only end with competition.

Ba Mat Chawama mli umutende.Ine Kabumba at least alepala.Ka holiday continues.
Voting for the oppsition as MPs is a share waste of time. They dont bring any development in areas simply because they dont control the money. Why not vote for the ruling and if they fail to perform, chuck them out in 2011. simplee
Matworld ulishani. I’m failing to send you mails net is nt okey. MMD you are doomed.
Sharp shooter and Ba Moze Muli how?

#25 Matworld the same thing happened to my sisters laptop and my husband fixed it. My husband aint around for me to ask but I remember he asked for the CDs that came with the laptop( I guess to reinstall the operating system).He also removed all my sisters files and put them on his ipod which has a high memory .Then when he’d fixed the laptop put them back I guess! I’m not sure in what order he did it- i certainly aint an IT person just married to one! Sorry can’t help much but thats what I think he did ! Hope that helps you abit!
25 Matworld greetings. What Operating System (OS) was on it (Windows 2000 or XP, etc.). Get a Windows OS CD for the previous OS version on your computer and run RECOVERY. Be careful not to erase the stuff on it. Alternatively, find someone with experience over such to help you following your “… i just want to get my school work coz that is where I have saved all my school work“.
All the best and consider installing UBUNTU OS on it next time instead of throwing it away as we Africans are still poor to do such.

Those are dull politics? Coz HH has parnered with Sata then people of Southern province have lost faith in HH? My nose…….when people are moving away from regional politics the people in southern province are promoting it. Any way election results will tell if what this MMD boot licker has said is true.
MMD! who can vote for these *****s!!
The UPND & PF chabe!!
i doubt with the pact around; i dont think so
Nkulila kwa Mukami oko. You are just scared of the Pact. Janza Mbele will Paddle the Bwato in all the By Election paka Tuka abuka mu 20011. Watch the pace my dear.
This MMD guy, does he have ears and eyes to see? If we were to use incident at Lwindi in Monze as a yard stick, then its either these MMD guys are either dull and cant make reasonable judgement all they want to appease Banda for their own profit. Banda ayenda. The wisest thing to do is to emulate Mpombo nokusala mano. Dont sink with MMD be wise mudala. Mwamana Mumunzi Do (MMD). People of Southern Province cannot forsake HH. You will See.
I’m very sure MMD is concentrating on how to rig the elections and stay in power. That’s why they don’t seem to care about what the zambian citizens are going through. All they want is to win. Whatever it takes. The way RB comes out, it’s like they are sure of using the same strategy they used last time and win the elections. I wonder how it can be possible to rig elections with such unimaginable figures. Don’t we have a system to show the statistics: e.g. the total number of people in Zambia eligible to vote or the total number of people in every village. If only we could have such a system, ghost votes could be detected.
And that’s what the PACT should try to work on. Find out the number of eligible voters in Zambia. And, by all means, the number of eligible voters in every ward. May sound impossible, but this is the only way out. In European countries such kind of rigging is not possible because they have all the information and they can easily quote the figures. I’d urge the PACT to collect this data as quickly as possible while they are campaigning. And make it public. This information is important to the public. In Europe we see these statistics. We should not be cheated.
32 Mwanamuchende greetings. I like your “Mwamana Mumunzi Do (MMD)” and I beg your permission to start using it.
Only election results will showcase the popularity of MMD in those mentioned areas and then said weakening of UPND.
Have a blessed day.
