SOME MMD sympathisers yesterday called on MMD Kafulafuta Member of Parliament George Mpombo to resign from the party.
The spokesperson for the group Andre Mtine said during a Press briefing yesterday that the MMD national Secretariat and the local MMD leadership in Kafulafuta should discipline Mr Mpombo if he failed to resign.
Mr Mtine said the MMD was a serious party with a national mandate to bring development to the country and should therefore not allow Mr Mpombo to cause any further damage to the integrity of the MMD.
“We are calling upon Mr Mpombo to immediately cease his attempt to ‘mpombolise’ the MMD and resign. If he fails to do so, the MMD national secretary and the local MMD leadership in his constituency must discipline him before he causes more damage to the integrity of the ruling party,” he said.
Mr Mtine said Mr Mpombo had become a serious embarrassment not only to himself but to the MMD as well.
He wondered whether Mr Mpombo was part of a clique that deliberately wanted to create a false impression that there was confusion in the party.
It is not correct for a senior member of the party to use unacceptable channels of expressing his grievances.
The MMD, Mr Mtine said, was like any other club or organisation that had rules and regulations where membership was voluntary and members should therefore observe
rules and regulations.
Mr Mpombo could not be reached for comment.
The MMD sympathisers are happy with the current democratic dispensation in the country and are therefore disheartened by some members that want destroy the reputation through the media.
Mr Mtine said the MMD was the only party that had a vision to reduce poverty in Zambia and maintain social justice and that it was the only party that had representation from all parts of the country and should be allowed to continue.
He called on the party leadership to respect the lower ranks of the party and the lower ranks to respect the top leadership.
Mr Mtine also said their was a clique of disgruntled individuals that had a deliberate attempt to disrespect, discredit and undermine the leadership of President Rupiah Banda.
He said the clique was an alliance of destructive internal and external forces that was bent on fanning trouble in Zambia.
He said Zambians should guard jealously against their country and not allow any form of harm to the country.

I thought Andre Mtine had a good brain.
WHY IS MMD SO SCARED OF MPOMBO?LET EM IGNORE HIM IF AT ALL HES TOOTHLESS.
This Mpombi is giving us headaches, one minute we are chewing together next he is insulting us.
#1 I thought so too. You know I have worked with young man in football affairs for a long time. Is also broke and wants an appointment. Am not surprised. You see this young man has always been jumping on every Ndola Soccer team that has been doing fine starting with Ndola Wanderers and now Zesco. So those battles we together against Winston Gumbo, Chiti, Simaata etc were for personal gain. Am very upset that such a decent person can Tetamize himself so cheaply.
#1 Andre has a good brain,but only good at bootlicking & cowardice. Mpombo, just leave these minions before they Penzalise or Paul Tembo you!
No one for political expendience has brains in Zambian politics.
These chaps like number 3 just want, like he says, to eat.
VIVA MPOMBO YOU ARE WELCOME TO JOIN PACT YOU ARE THE MAN. BASALANGANYE BA MMD
Honourable George K. Mpombo……Long live Boss, u are the only fearless politician the MMD has ever had and Zambia’s Living Dictionary. Destroy MMD and cross over to the Pact we will consider you for Kafulafuta bye-election and shame them!!!
the man is on the way outtttt. he can join the post or PF
Hey, what a surprise! I also thought Andre Mtine had brains and not chicken Shi**t for brains.
Andre Mtine cheap chap….. Go go forward Zambia.. Viva Honorable George K. Mpombo mwenshimbi, Zima Ndola, mwina Zambia.. Man of principle. We are fully behind you.. Join the Pact .. talk to Magande .. Joint us.. Like Inonge Wina did… Viva Zambia, Viva Pact…
Andrea Mtine has lost direction and has become blind to reality. MMD if unchecked is headed for UNIP situation. A serious Party be it ruling or opposition cannot ignore its own cosititution. Alraedy Western Province may fall into the hands of the PF -UPND pact. The likes of Kaingu and Lungwangwa will not campaign flat out for RB and the MMD come 2011.Mpombo is not a factor at the moment, the man feels he is free from collective responsibility and now he can talk if he feels the MMD is going astray. As for the likes of Mtine and others all is well for them in MMD as long as they play blind loyalty which RB is enjoying. Our politics are good for praise singers and not pipo who provide checks and blances through constructive critisism like George Mpombo and the likes of Magande.
Andre Mtine has a brain except its very small
Why shud it be right for Mpombo to condemn his own party and wrong for Dr Chishimba to do the same? The other men who tried to oppose Sata where abducted and almost beaten to death. They were threatened by people with ‘good brains’ to cut off their legs. Even HH did not condemn that. You can ignore it but it is true. Mpombo is just showing how beautifully democratic MMD is. It allows difference of opinion but like all organisations, opposes overdoing it, and do it with sense and legality. In PF they’d easily kill Mpombo, or burn his house, or his parents’ house or abduct him and threaten him with death. Is this what u guys want to bring in power? Oh, u r in the diaspora… u won’t vote! lol. On the contrary, I am not and I will vote.
Democracy in Zambia and be respected otherwise.MMD do not be scared of one man show it is the way it should be done
14 Fr Bwalya uli chikopo sana. Being in diaspora does not distinguish anybody. Difference is having lived outside Zed in better managed countries gives one a better perspection of Zed. I even wonder what your point is coz your statement has no grain of sense.
Andre Mtine, you have lost it bruv, lost it.
14 Fr Bwalya Buti Ulicikopo sana……..
Ba Mtine, after failing to beat Egypt in Chililabombwe last week, all you are giving us as is sympathy for MMD. You must also resign from FAZ and Zesco FC.Chi colour
I thought Andre Mtine had a brain too!! am surprised, he must have sold it to, now is useless
Dont Mind Mtine , its us you shoudlbe talking about
Well said Andre. It is about time we had discipline in the party. This Mpombo resigned out of his own accord to concentrate on planting trees in Kafulafuta. He is bringing the name of our great party into disrepute. We need to shave him with a hot knife. But tell me, who exactly has bewitched this big mouthed antelope?
#1 Umuntu Mutwe, you are spot on!!!!!!!!
Impombo is the only one with at least a drop of brain.

October 13, 2009 at 1:14 pmMaverick Major Chizyuka had a narrow escape from the overly charged UPND/PF cadres who pounced on ZAMCOM lodge this morning and barely missed him by a whisker when he outpaced them all and somersaulted over a wall fence riddled with barbed wire, much to the marvel of journalists who had gone to cover his press conference….THIS IS GOOD WRITING BY A ZAMBIAN WHO IS REALLY DOWN TO ENJOY THE WHAT HE WRITES. i like this , keep it up Monalisa. You are very creative
Andre Mtine you are a young man who is involved in sports…before you select the football team to represent Z …..Please answer this question why is it important to let the players compete in the smaller matches? Why do you hold elections for the football association? If we use this method in smaller insistitutions why not apply it to the most important position in your MMD party. How will a potential young leader be noticed if you do not hold a convention after 2011 elections? People will support Mpombo on this convention issue …he has a point. Everyone should be given a chance. A good debate and leadership contest will bring more harmony to MMD before elections. I do not support any party. However, I believe in the democratic procedure of electing a leader. God bless Z
#25 mind typo error I meant “How will a potential young leader be noticed if you do not hold a convention before the 2011 elections?” . Take it into consideration….How will you spot a brilliant player if you do not have football competitions before the world cup.
Why is that whenever we disagree with people we need to get rid of them? What happened to sitting down and deliberating with these people until a consensus decision is reached? As long as we do not learn to accommodate divergent views we will not move forward!
Mtine the gold digger form wanderers to forest to zesco , we know you are a cheap thief , Remember the petrol issue ,you have failed in buisness , Now you want to steal together with your size kafupi , you are a failure , shut up and stop talking shit ,
#25 Even before you pick a player you subject him to trials and before he can play he has to train and then depending on his fitness selected into the team. With Andres mind I see why Zambia has failed in soccer.
I do not know whether Tom Mtine is still alive or dead but that his son must convert himself into such a stinking supreme biodegrabable MMD dog poop bucket must nauseating the old Mtine to death. Any way, maybe its because Bwezani and Mtine’s mothers are both from Blantyre, in Malawi, Kumodzi kumawa kwa Kamudzu Ngwazi Mbumba!
Andre Mtine has a brain of a fish. How can u honestly praise a dead-end party, with a tourist Presido
This is what I was waiting for………
On MMD sympathiser Andre Mtine’s statement that he should resign from the party, Mpombo said: “Mtine is just a cheap political hoodlum who is seeking the government’s attention because his businesses have reached rock bottom. He is one gentleman with no integrity.”
All you bloggers seem to enjoy the pact but what Andre has said is like what Sata was saying when Saviour Chishimba was being troublesome. PF cadres even caused havoc on Chishimba’s parents, what a shame. Also remember Sata and the famous Chawama, when he was still in MMD. Chiwamila Galu. Could also stop insults, LT pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee regulate.
