MMD National Chairman Michael Mabenga has refused to comment on Lusaka province Chairman William Banda’s threats on Change Life Zambia Executive Director Fr. Frank Bwalya.
And MMD National Secretary Katele Kalumba has advised the MMD Lusaka province chairman to leave Fr. Bwalya alone.
On Monday, MMD Lusaka Province chairperson, William Banda warned Fr. Bwalya of stern action if he tries to extend his Red Card Campaign to Lusaka.
Mr. Mabenga refused to comment and expressed ignorance about Mr. Banda’s threats on Fr. Bwalya. He refused to comment and instead turned on the Journalist interviewing him accusing him of fabricating the story.
But MMD national secretary Katele Kalumba has advised Mr. Banda to leave Fr. Bwalya alone. He said the MMD will not waste political capital on a campaign that is not going anywhere.
Speaking to QFM in an interview,Dr Kalumba said Fr. Bwalya is free to express himself in whichever way he feels like as long as he does not break the law.
Dr. Kalumba has further advised other members of the party to avoid making Fr. Bwalya too superior. He said Fr. Bwalya is too excited with what he describes as the red joker campaign which has no value.

yah pump in some sense in this chi William Banda. otherwise his balls will be hanged on his head. We are in a democratic country and anyone can challenge the GRZ if its not performing. The other time it was the woman who walked naked in Cairo road coz she wanted to tell GRZ there is poverty in zambia
William Banda the deportee is a runaway goods train that might even plough through the MMD Camp ! FTJ did right to deport him but ba Sweetie brought him back. Mwamona nomba !
The guilty are always afraid, and William Banda is guilty of something for him to be so scared of Zambian citizens expressing their free speech.
This old man should move to China or Saudi Arabia, his style of politics will be “sweet musics” to the hears of the Communists and the Royals, respectively. He is getting too big-headed for his own good.
William, its about time you got used to this ‘beast’ called DEMOCRACY! You and your friend RB belong to the stone age. Don’t be intellectual wimps. Why can’t you fight intellectual wits with intellectual wits, or is it because you have none? Let people freely decide who deserves their loyalty and ultimately their vote.
Is violence and threats the only thing you and Rupiah ever learnt from your many years in the UNIP government?
Politics of threats is old stone age.Can somebody advise this old fool politics is about issues and not threats.
ya ma guys mulalanda nibuchitonfya fye bakateka besu
Still maintain that Katele Kalumba iz among the very few level-headed memberz of the MMD left, despite hiz imfamous Chiengi lap-top.
Katele let us hope you will not change your position when RB comes back. We cant now trust you coz you are always changing your good thoughts whenever RB says contrary to you. Please pump sense in these useless Bandas. Really Bandas are so useless creatures. ala!! Let Fr Bwalya do what he wants so long he does not break the law. Thats how it should be… Katele rise up and take over the MMD presidency, you look well meaning for Zambian though uli ndishi man.Kanshi indoshi shamano sana. Yaba .8-x8-}8-}
William Banda’s voilet behaviour has the blessing of RB. These two unipist want to finish off MMD.
#6; You’ve hit the nail on the head, may man. It’s cos the man is schooled adequately.
A House divided within itself will not stand. Katele pliz pump more sense into that thug’s head
# 1 you made me laugh, am imagining william’s balls hanging on his head, what a picture. ha ha ha
A House divided within itself will not stand. Katele pliz pump more sense into that thug’s head. We are past politics of violence now
Uyu umufyashi chitole chakwe………he’s just so backward with his politics.Why cant’ RB sort the hell out of this fool’s head.For sure this ***** is sending MMD to the archives with his old style of politics. Lets look at the red shirts campaign in Thailand and compare it to our scenario here.People should be free to express themselves for as long as they do not break the law. Foolish William are you nuts? Katele should take over the affairs of MMD before the party goes into oblivion.
I fear for Katele, disagreeing with this lumpen is tantamount to indiscipline against RB. Fact is Katele and his plunderer friends’ cases have been left live for this long on purpose, to cow the likes of him into submission. Do you ever wonder why Levy went for Katele’s head and not any other senior MMD official for example Mabenga(CDF thief), simple answer is Katele is a serious nugging threat. So for this gaffe katele will be reminded who the boss is and put back in his place by dusting his court cases off a bit and then make them head lines in their robotic media ZNBC and it’s sisters TIMES and DAILY. Katele’s political life is a difficult one,
Thanks Katele Kalumba has said sense and this should help chi Banda William to grow up
This statement will not go well with RB and his vigilant William Tekele Banda,and im sure Senior Citizen aka BK/Veteran is quiet disappointed,after what he posted yesterday on Father Bwalya,all in vain
Katele shud be very careful,he has a judgement in a few weeks coming his way
In the midist of hopelesness hope persists, in the midist of violence courage persists, thanks Katele for being our hope and courage in this hour of hopelesness and pain, remember Katele that hope is a good thing and no good thing ever dies!
Dear bloggers, some of you are mistaken if you expect Rupiah Banda to take any action against William Banda. The two are deep rooted UNIP one party products. How can a party choose a criminal to be their chairman in the capital?
All we are saying is that the voice of reason from Katele is important for other members of the MMD to cage these dangerous beats from the east, i mean they did it before and they can indeed do it again!
Katele as a politician can be likened to a boxer with hands tied behind, last week he impressed me very much for being the first and indeed the last MMD official to concede defeat in Mufumbwe and he even went as far as sending congratulations to the Pact but that was before RB threw all his toys off his cot threatening to petition the results, in a flash like tom of tom & jerry Katele made an amazing U-turn parroting his captor word for word. I would rather be a kamalasha than being a Katele, am sure he even fails to plan for example 1 yr in advance because he doesn’t know for sure whether he will be a free man or a jail bird. His is a difficult life.
This Malawian should not be allowed to terrorise Zambians. Dr katele Kalumba should be applauded for telling this senseless old Malawian man to keep his ugly paws off Father Bwalya.
Saili Awali aka William Banda is a dangerous joke. Intellectually he falls far below a grade 2 Chap. As for MMD each time they open their beaks on Frank Bwalya,more people want to know who this Bwalya is. In short they are indirectly marketing him. But of course in MMD if the boss f-a-r-ts every one fa-rts.If you dont then you are out.
William Banda is a dull ,old ,frail politician who shud nt be allowed to plunge this peaceful nation into chaos. This chap is a foreigner and as such should be deported back to malawi. who should be deported back to
This sounds like the most sensible statement ever.Thats how a genuine politician is suppose to reason.
William Banda is a UNIPISTS and he is still living in the past—–The days of Vigilantees.This stupid man must be caged.
i hate this old man and if i had my way i can punch him
SENSE KATELE FOR BEING ABLE TO RECOGNISE OTHERS’ FREEDOMS IN A DEMOCRACY. WISH THE WHOLE MMD PRESCRIBED TO THIS. HOWEVER THEY DONT AND CONTINUE BREAKING THE LAW BY HARRASING INNOCENT PEOPLE. ONE DAY THE LAW WILL CATCH UP WITH THEM AND THEY WILL PAY FOR THEIR SINS IMMUNITIES OR NOT.
Well spoken Dr Kalumba. They should leave Fr. Bwalya alone instead of making him feel important and gain popularity. William Banda has run out of idea and he should be sent back to malawi where he came from. There is no need to create violence in zambia as zambians are peaceful and love each other. Politics is a game and for failed professionals. What educational background has william banda has?
Let journalist ask Chiluba on William Banda behavior, he has grown thick headed in Zambia. Katele is showing high maturity in politics.
Well that is Dr Katele speaking–I always say I pity few sensible ones still in the fallen MMD—William is a Human rights terrorist that requires reformation, in this age people will not allow oppression on human rights…I doubt what the so called Veteran will post now…..
VIVA Zambians–Zambia is for us all not only a few individuals—-Remember I am non partisan but just speaking reality
Something is definitely wrong in this country! How can anyone just wake up from their slumber and start threatening a Zambian citizen who has every right to be anywhere he wants to be? Please Home Affairs, advise this man called William Banda that Fr. Frank Bwalya is free-born Zambian son who should at any cost be protected by the law. Banda on the other hand is a legally declared alien who should not be threatening anyone at all in this country of Zambia which was fought for and paid for by the blood of our forefathers. I implore all peace loving Zambian that we should not sit back and watch our brothers and sisters be victimised by people who appear to have the protection of the law on their side. In under a year, we have seen dictatorship blossom. Watch out and wake up dear Zambians.
Yal right brother kat,the advice is timely.Time William knew that those type of politics of intimidation are long gone.Let our mupatili go wherever he wants with his campaign, only time will sort him out.Deuces bane.
These people who belong to hthe past, awe kaya. Continue Dr Kalumba.
That Imbecile William Banda with his boss will never ever be MMD , They are U.N.I.P. -through & through . so much so that their Brains if they have any , are tatooed with the word UNIP wich can never ever be erased !
I Salute Mabenga and Katele in the manner they responded to this matter.William Banda will dent the image of the MMD if left un checked.
am just protecting my job guys ! just google my name above and you will see why.
William warned of ‘stern action’, if this means violence then its obviously wrong but it probably just means the MMD arranging counterprotests against Frank G. So, i would give the man a benefit of doubt and let him tell us what action he had in mind.Long live William. Now some imbeciles on this blogg are even going to the extent of glorifying Chilubas deportation of William when they acknowledge the man is Zamban, thats sick.
:)>-:)>-:)>-:)>-Rupiah Bwezani (Mphuno Ikulu, Kanitundila) Banda and his cholaboy William Banda blong to UNIP and they behave always as UNIPists. Katele you cannever change the mindset of those two.
No.37: Ni shani bakalamba? William Banda’s statement is clearly a call for violence so don’t try to play with semantics here. WB is evil and must be deported to ‘no-man’s land’ because we, also, do not want him here in Malawi! Or let him travel with RB; that way he will spend more time in the air than on the ground!
I think something is wrong with Mr. Banda. He doesn’t think right. He want to make Zambia like his farm. No wonder Ka Chiluba deported him to Malawi. Bumuzungu bwachilako. Like Katele Kalumba, I am also advising mr. Banda to leave FR. Bwalya alone
It seems Chi Banda W got balls that are too heavy and a very small brain.Maybe he is missing Malawi
Banda has done a lot to help the MMD cause in Lusaka, but like most things, it has got into his head and he has become puffed up. Pride goes before a fall.
William dont forget Malawi is not very far. These are no longer unip days. Do you want to be sent back when we change government in 2011? Check yourself.
