HH is not campaigning for RB – UPND

The United Party for National Development (UPND) has described as baseless and provocative Kafulafuta Member of Parliament George Mpombo’s assertions that its leader Hakainde Hichilema is campaigning for President Rupiah Banda hence his attacks on PF leader Michael Sata.

UPND deputy spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa has said that his party is deeply disappointed with Mr Mpombo’s assertions that the leader is campaigning for President Rupiah Banda when he has been campaigning for himself ahead of the forthcoming alections.

Mr Mweetwa told QFM that Mr Mpombo should concentrate on rebuilding his political career which he said was dealt a serious blow following the recent ward elections in Kafulafuta were the UPND narrowly lost to the ruling MMD despite him campaigning for the Patriotic Front which came third.

He said Mr Mpombo should also concentrate on consolidating his support for the Patriotic Front instead of accusing the UPND leader of campaigning for the incumbent republican President.

He explained that the UPND leader has been visiting different parts of the country campaigning for himself and the party ahead of the polls.

Mr Mweetwa added that Mr Mpombo has a moral obligation having served as Defence minister to conduct himself properly and desist from being inconsistent.

The former defence minister is quoted in today’s edition of the Post as saying that it is clear that the UPND leader has been recruited to campaign for President Rupiah Banda in the forthcoming elections.

And UPND has said that the collapse of the UPND-PF pact does not mean that president Rupiah Banda will win this year’s general elections.

UPND spokesperson Charles Kaoma said that president Banda will lose the forthcoming election because he is the most vulnerable president Zambia has ever had.

Mr Kakoma said President Banda has no support not even from Eastern province where he comes from.

He said that the Zambian people must reflect on what has happened to the UPND-PF pact and realize that their dream to change the government lies in voting for the UPND.

He said Zambians should not despair following the deaths of the pact because it is not the end of the road but remain determined to change government.

In an interview with Qfm, Mr Kakoma added that it was the PF’s agenda for the pact to dissolve because of insincerity and alleged demeaning statements by PF secretary general Wynter Kabimba.

He said the party believes in moving on and that they are working hard to win this year’s general elections.

  1. SATA: The point is the laws have already made restrictions. Some people are saying I am talking to you people because I want to bring back the gay and lesbians and I tell them to say listen, the laws of Zambia recognise gayism, the laws of Zambia recognise lesbians.

    And the laws of Zambia have provided restrictions and when you go all-over the world, there is not any single country which has not provided restrictions for those things, those are cheap propaganda, the laws are there what we need is to implement the laws.

  2. Ba UPND just ignore anything from The Post everyone knows that they will never write anything good about HH. Keep on campaigning and stop wasting time on counter-reactions.

  3. UPND has become as use/less as MMD. HH u5 you think you can win an election? UPND was relevant to Zambian politics under the late Mr. A Mazoka (MHSRIP), not under HH, not a factor any more. With or without the pact, the PF can win this year’s election. The only problem is rigging by the corrupt mmd govt. So HH, you need the PF more than the PF need UPND.

  4. LT Editor can we please have details of the new PF manifesto launched at the Lusaka Conference. We have the right to know every detail so we vote from an informed position.

  5. #5, MMD will only win through rigging which they are busy doing anyway. Under a free and fair elction, mmd cannot win an election. The problem is you have a compromised electral body (ECZ), who are controlled by the ruling party and the shushushus.

  6. I agree with you Sulutani #5. In fact you see one too many of these practices result in disaster. One day and very soon these acts of taking people for granted will explode in the faces of these fools. Why can’t we for once have decent elections devoid of speculation, innuendos and actual rigging?? Is it so difficult to try out leadership and experience different policies kanshi?? The Mid-east problems will modify into intolerant electorate upheavals if we continue to manipulate the very people we are supposed to serve. Politicians be warned! Namuuzani neo.

  7. #6 PF manifesto? Are you kidding? what manifesto are you talking about? there is no manifesto, PF guys can’t write. Sata just made the undress speech and if you want to take that as a manifesto good luck,

    That is the reason why their POST vuvuzela has not published a manifesto and besides PF has a website and why should the onus be on LT to publish the manifesto. Why can’t they themselves publish it on their website. Am sure if indeed there was a true PF manifesto somewhere online LT would have cut and paste by now.

  8. HA HA…… HA HA…………as kalaki puts it.Ha Ha is a disgrace to us the youths.the more MMD stays in power the longer it take for youths of this to take over.UPND will never win presidential elections even in Ha Ha period and i ll live to atest to that. Viva Donchi Kubeba………

  9. #3 you seen to be living in dream land . UPND has been campaigning strongly in Central province and this weekend HH is going to Mumbwa for yet another mamoth rally like the Shikatende and Nangoma rallies. Watch the space in Mumbwa.UPND have a big advantage because while people think they have given then a medai blackout. It is working well for UPND no one is shooting them and the PF vuvuzela has seen it on the ground hence the malicious reports coming out the past two days. Mpombo is finished no one knows where he is anchoring on. He has lost direction and seems to be moving like a headless chicken. How can the lot of a former defence minister be involved in cheap prooaganda. A person should is supposed to be an anchor for the nation..Thats simply shows mpombo is a man of low calibre.

  10. HA HA…… HA HA…………as kalaki puts it.Ha Ha is a disgrace to us the youths.the more MMD stays in power the longer it will take for the youths of this country to take over.Opposition parties need to unite to win this cause.UPND will never win presidential elections even in Ha Ha’s period and i ll live to atest to that. Viva Donchi Kubeba………

  11. Lusaka times,daily mail,times of Zambia,ZNBC,Radio 1 to 4 are for MMD.Atleast post try to accomodate everyone. wawa MMD iwe wawa!!

  12. Mpombo might soon lose little respect remaining. I see him runting like winter kabimba. He must realise that if he has hatred with RB and MMD he should not drug innocent people into his rangles with MMD. He should not make himself a star for making political noise and try to sway the attention of Zambians from real issue affecting a lot of our people. People seem to hate MMD after they are dropped from Ministrial positions. These guys have been part of the mismanagement we are currently fighting. ABASH VUVUZELA Mpombo….VIVA HH long live UPND….HH for president

  13. THIS GEORGE MPOMBO IS REALLY A MPOMBO. HE STILL HAS THE DIGNITY TO MAKE STATEMENTS. THE FOOL IS ACCUSING HH OF CAMPAIGNING FOR ANOTHER PARTY LEADER, HOW ABOUT HIMSELF WHAT IS HE DOING. HASN’T HE BEEN AGAINST RB AND BUSY CAMPAIGNING ALONGSIDE SATA??? NO I WILL CONTEST CONVENTION, HOW CAN A PF SYMPATHISER TRY TO RUN FOR OFFICE IN MMD?? SURELY IT IS ONLY SO THAT HE CAN GIVE SUPPORT TO HIS BOSS SATA

  14. I was thinking, and what i have come up with is and ofcouse with some consultation here and there, with or without the PACT the MMD are going, weather they sleep or not, weather they rig or not, the truth is they are going. The doors are so wide for them to see the route. And to the PF and UPND sympathisers, even if there is break up let us still show onenss and unity so that MMD does not get advantage of the opposition in any ways. Let us fight together though we are seperate to push these guys out so that we have a feel our a different GRZ. I know that Mr Mpombo wants to win favour but its not the right way of doing it. Forgive him. Lets fight the MMD out and i know we will. GOD bless you all.

  15. My advise to UPND is that my brothers and sisters don’t be bitter about what has happened oe even call each other names. My example is here in the UK. Whoever thought Nick Clegg would be Deputy Prime mininster. So even you HH time will come for you to work with the cobra for the betterment of people. What the people want is change and this is what exactly what happened here. With the new technology alot of you pipo zea used to see how Camerron formed govt with Nick just to remove the Labour. To you HH and Sata have repect for each other you will need one another.

  16. The Post is not a credible newspaper and writes only negative ‘news’ on HH and RB. OTOH, it only writes positive news on MCS.
    Though they know that Mpombo is a dunderhead, they still follow him for ‘news’ cause they like what he says about HH and RB.

  17. UPND DOGS AND GOATS HAVE FAITH OF A MONKEY….CAN THEY WIN WITH SOUTHERN PROVINCE. IN A WARD ELECTION THEY CAME SECOND AND CLAIM THEY AR POPULAR…………..THESE DOGS SHUD GO BACK TO MONZE AND REVISE THEIR KNOWLEDGE…..MWEEEEETWE SOUTHERN PROVINCE……??????????

  18. People like Mpombo are the ones who make politics a dirty game. Look at him, he is delusional and just rants whatever he wants coz he knows the Post will give him space to put his empty tirades against anyone anti-PF. The other day, he was encouraging Panji to vote for Sata while his (Panji’s foot) is still in UPND, the same way Mpombo’s foot is in MMD. Can we realy take these old hags seriously? Ya, pipo seem to hate MMD after they are dropped, but we can never forget that they have been part and parcel of the regime and cannot claim not to have contributed to the mess. I am tired of these old hags taking advantage of us.

  19. MPOMBO IS THE MAN…THE ONLY TRUE CRITIQ…FIGHTING RB FROM WITHIN MMD. WHO IS HH BUT SOME VILLAGER FROM MONZE

  20. @ # 3 Suluta it is people like you with acient thinking thats making this country not to forge ahead..you calling HH u5 is demeaning to zambians youths who want change..its because of such thinking these fosils called Sata and Rupiah Banda have stayed in power because they have brain washed people like you into thinking that for a youth to run into political positions they need experience. These recycled leaders whose agend is personal enrichment have hold on Political positions without any regard to allow the zambian youth to hold top political positions.

  21. DON’T WASTE VOTES ON SMALL TRIBAL GROUPINGS.
    POOR POLITICAL JUDGEMENT BY HH AND HIS ADVISERS IS THE ONLY PROBLEM. VERY SOON MILUPI WILL BE MORE POPULAR THAN HH. UPND WESTERN PROVINCE OFFICIALS HAVE DEFECTED TO THE ONLY PARTY WHICH WILL BRING CHANGE THIS YEAR. HH AND KAKOMA PLEASE YOU NEED THE PACT OR ELSE YOU WILL REMAIN ONLY WITH TONGA LAND WHICH YOU ARE YET TO SHARE WITH YOUR FELLOW TONGA MAGANDE.
    VIVA SATA AND PF FOR CHANGE COME 2011.

  22. Ma Qin (No. 14), you say at least the Post covers everyone. When was the last time the Post covered UPND or HH? For a paper which calls itself ‘independent’, they have done a real bad job because they are not supposed to be biased like the way the Govt papers are. At the end of the day, each paper has its own agenda, thats why they are all biased. But intelligent people cannot be fooled, i assure you.

  23. am now failing to understands these UPND chaps,they are more confused than there fellow MMD chaps,i can see that its true PF and Ba Sata is giving the a big headache.its total madness for UPND to talk about change when they are the ones who have made the pact to split,they are living in a dream,thinking they can bring change in Zambia….shame on you!!!by the way who is even going to vote for you guys?am told you are also losing support in southern province so where are you going to get votes to take you to state house?open your eyes and hears you chaps or take seliya’s words you are not yet a politician HH!!for MMD am sure you have already packed your bags cause you are going,no matter what,you can use chanda chamba,edward mumbi or HH and his UPND it wont change anything!!VIVA BA…

  24. Sabaileni mwe bena fyalo. Ifwe pa zed ni PF capwa! Ama half takalalya, ifitenge kufwala, chibuku kubumuka, utujiljili ku bumuka, but mumuchima kwishibafye apakubika ivoti. shimama!!!!!!! Donchi kubeba.

  25. Its funny how the post has evolved from and independent paper, to anti-governments, to anti-UPND, to biased PF vuvuzela. What a shame.

  26. HH and Sata have killed a baby who a baby who could have brought poverty and backwardness to an end.It pains to see a baby born out of visition of the people of Zambia being thrown just like that.Posterity will judge these two so called leaders harshly because of not nurturing baby PACT to a fully grown baby.They failed to nourish him with proper food of meekness and humility.They were all after the fruits which the baby would have brought without thinking of looking after him.PACT was born out of the wishes of the people of Zambia but alas he has been killed without reaching a ripe age.What a mistake!If PACT would have survived,he would have eradicated poverty,corruption and backwardness.The sad thing is that PACT has been burried and is crying from the grave.Let him rest in peace.

  27. No. 14 Ma Qin, you say “at least Post try to accommodate everyone”.When was the last time the Post wrote something on UPND and HH? For a paper which calls itself “independent”, the Post has done a very bad job becoz they are not supposed to be biased like the Govt papers are. I think at the end of the day, each paper has its own agenda, thats why they are all biased. Anything pro-Govt will find itself in the govt dailies, and everything anti-govt will find itself in the Post. That way, it balances up.

  28. THE PACT IS NOW AMONG PF,THE CHURCH,THOSE WHO SERIOUSLY WANT CHANGE,DONORS
    AND THE PAPER THAT DIGS DEEEEPPEERRR!
    SATA 2011.DONCH KUBEBA.

  29. Mpombo is useless thats why he is supporting useless characters.Can he explain his relevance to the PF after the humiliating defeat in his constituency?

  30. Of course we know that SATA is always thinking of supporting homosexuality.
    How come he starts to talk about homosexuality when the question was about the relationship with the Chinese?
    Tell me, what was in his mind? I am sure even the interviewer was shocked at the statement. from nowhere “Zambia has laws that recognise gayism, Zambia has laws that reconise lesbianism”.
    Is that the only thing he could think to illustrate his stand over the chinese viz Zambia?
    This shows his mind is focused on gays and lesbians.

  31. #27 what nonsense does donchi Kubeba mean. Thats is pure theft and encouraging plunder of national resources. Collecting goods by false pretense. If PF is behaving like that while in the opposition what more when in government. It will be kubeba stealing.

  32. #27 Donchi Kubeba Re-loaded says:
    I find all your comments quiet unciviled. If you want to convince people tell them why they should VOTE for PF. INSULTING leaders by using derogatory terms is not acceptable particularly that several people with upright moral standing read these postings. We would like to think that u want other people to respect u and your party. If u want to attack a presidential candidate attack them on what they say, what they have done, and the policies that they peddle. Basically your frustrations can be noted and it depicts the type of back ground you come from and the way you have been brought up. Thats i withdrew my support for PF(poor finishing) because most of the supporters insult….what country will it be if the ruling class insult other tribes and citizens

  33. PF carders to base your popularity on tribe,No one will rule this country basing their campaigns on tribe.nobody is desuaded from voting for HH on tribal grounds apart from Bembas.for them no tribe is suitable for presidency other than a bemba.Please note that many zambians have realised the true tribalists(Bembas) who have always refused to vote for peolpe from other regions.This will cost you presidency for many years to come if you do not change your attitude.Your support for sata and hatred for HH and RB is based on tribalism,but be sure he will never be zambia’s president.You cant insult everybody as per your culture but it wont work.

  34. VIVA ZAMBIAN YOUTHS….VIVA ALL ENERGETIC ZAMBIANS…….
    IT IS NOW OUR TIME AND OUR CHANCE TO CORRECT THE ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL MESS OUR COUNTRY…………………..
    lets retire all political dead woods….recycled politicians……liars….homosexuals…..dishonest…..arrogant leaders….violent…..STAND UP and be counted………..VIVA HH VIVA UPND…….WITH SOLID PROGRAMMES FOR THE COUNTRY

  35. Can someone tell me, if the Pact were to be there at the time of voting, what would the voting pattern be? how would the Pact members vote? I think each member of PF and UPND would definitely vote for their respective parties becoz nothing concrete was established on the ground in terms of the pact to prepare for the elections. If everything was put in place and people knew the voting pattern, then it would have been easy to dislodge the MMD regime from power. Now, time was realy spent on doing nothing to concretise the pact, and in the end it crumbled with the collective vote that could have ushered in that talked about change.

  36. this 22 guy is so bitter UPND left them,i understand that but he sounds like kaponyas at soweto market in patapatas selling plastic bags,who gave him access to a computer?he is the dullest bloger around,his parents must be f——-dup.am lozi but i have tongas,s backs.die with your biternes.

  37. It is too sad for HH to do injustice to his bed fellow who only yesterday was saying alot of good things about President Sata. It is regretable and unforgiveable. Anyway, I saw this coming some people despite being educated will always be called educated fools. He is now stealing from the very people he claims to represent.

  38. No one should say voting for PF Sata’s party means Change, because this is an insult to some of who know the meaning of the word. Bembas tribalists we know you now that you cannot accept any other tribe to rule Zambia, you have reduced FAZ to Bemba association where you even chased Simataa.

  39. I fully agree with you # 47. This # 22 chap is a serious and dangerous psycopath! Amongst my best of friends are Bemba’s even though I am not, but his rantings make bemba people look bad. I will love and associate with bemba’s because I know they are good people. I grew up in Lusaka where our best neighbor was bemba…she was literally my second mother (MHSRIP). So, I can never hate her kin because of chaps like # 22.

    Anyway, truth of the matter is that PF has lost their only grand chance of winning because they messed up the UPND.

  40. SATA BALAMUTINA SANA ABENA HH, RB, BY, ETC. TO THE CONTRARLY, I THINK HE IS A LOVED MAN IN ZAMBIA. HE IS DEFINITELY BRINGING CHANGE TO ZAMBIA’S ECONOMY. MPOMBO IS A GREAT MAN. HE AIRS HIS VIEWS FROM WITHIN. HE’S A STEP AHEAD OF THESE MMD AND OTHER TUNTEMBA PARTIES SUCH AS UPND, AND MANY MORE. VIVA PF. PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  41. The most useless thing that befell Zambian politics was the thing called PACT.
    Both the leaders who were in the pact had no idea what it meant and never wanted to table it.
    Both SATA and HH kept guessing their own making.
    Of course it was OK for HH to keep guessing what SATA meant because the man does not want to be responsible for his words since he does not trust himself.
    He makes everything unclear so that everyone is kept guessing. Just like now, he has kept many nationals guessing over his homosexual support. But those of us who know what type of man he is, we know that when he says “there are laws that recognise gays” he means what he says – no need to guess. A leader must be clear on issues and his direction must be clear and commited to his word.Be responsible and state as…

  42. Lusaka Times, what on earth are you moderating on the postings on this blog if xenophobic views and comments as expressed by # 22 are allowed? We should blog with dignity.

  43. Please give your opinions but don’t argue, debate or answer back to low calibre brats who blog here under the names Donchi Kubeba and John Phiri. It is a waste of your valuable time and knowledge.

  44. any right thinking zambian knows who the head of a house can be in marriage.by the virtual of a man marrying a woman he automatically becomes the head of the house.and in the event that they break up without children respect always prevail as this is a sign of maturity.
    Now,the of upnd of late has shown immaturity and luck of judgement and you can see this in the way they are attacking sata day in and day out.the coverage they are enjoying in the government media shows that they are a hired gun to attack pf and sata.if indeed we are to assess,upnd benefited more from pf than pf did.with this little achievement upnd has grown big headed and given the status quo on the ground pf has now become the strongest party than the mmd and upnd combined.
    viva pf and viva zambians

  45. Mr. Mpombo campaigned vigoriously for PF in the just ended d bye-elections in Kafulafuta and PF got 80 votes. Mpombo you are no longer a factor in Kafulafuta. The whole lamba land will be shared bewteen HH and RB in the forthcoming elections.

  46. #56 bigboss

    It is very wrong for you to suppose that UPND is hired to voice their opinion about SATA. They have free will and right to express their own opinion about anyone.
    Who hired SATA to talk about homosexuality, was it not his own opinion?
    Who hired Sata to attack the late Levy Mwanawasa for 7 years, was it not his opinion?
    Who has hired the post to attack RB day-in day-out, is it not their own desire?
    Let us not think UPND are unable to see things and think own their own. That is like un insult to UPND membership’s capacity to think and decide.
    SATA refused to defend himself on homosexual remarks he made when he was called by MUVI TV on “The Assignment” program on Sunday 20th March 2011. Is it not because he does not want to commit himself, lest he loses money and…

  47. no 22 enough is enough, its a pressure baloon one day it will burst, zip up yo mouth. desparate pipo in pf. kaponyas now criminal, gays,rb is workg u insult him with yo vuvuzela post. thats why easterner dont trust u.

  48. HH you are the best man and we will vote for you. I am a Bemba by tribe and i know what is best. This number 22 is a mad dog. Dont listen to this psychopath.

  49. #56 bigboss, you say UPND has shown lack of judgement? What do you mean? UPND pulled out so it can either be good or bad jugement . You cannot say they lack of judgement. Do you really understand what lack of judgement entails? Interestingly your friend Critique #57 says you offered a good analysis? You PF guys really think alike. Enjoy your day.

  50. #8 grow up. we the people are electing. you are not electing alone. i don’t believe in your ideas. i believe in MMD ideals and i am voting RB for president so deal with it. you are the chaps who will be rioting because you do nothing have nothing to loose

  51. The true pact is we the people(electorates) not HH or Sata. I can see the pact coming back in form of a coalition government if we all give massive votes to the two former pact members Pf and Upnd, will root out mmd. The two will have no choice but to work together.Vote only for PF and Upnd in the coming elections.This is the only surest way to get rid of mmd. Stop crying about the pact, it is still there. No need for name calling.Its most likely we shall end up with the Uk situation where Labour lost to the Tories and Libdems. They have formed government and Labour which was in power for a long time is in opposition. There is still hope, thats why Sata still maintains that the pact is infact not dead but still alive.Mmd should not celebrate over this perceved demise of the pact its trick

  52. The only problem is simple majority rule past the post voting system. The one who will have more votes between Sata and Hh will be president.

  53. #8 – DO not grow weiry because whether MMD likes it or not they will be PVT in all the polling stations, not even one will be left out. Let us go and continue sentising the electorates on the need to guide there votes prior to during and after the Elections.

    We will continue warning MMD, that in this year, whoever will be seen to champion any acts of rigging will have themselves to blame, as they will be crashed to death. As for Hakaivotela Heka (HH), let me campaign for Rupiah, afterall there only two serious contenders for Rupublican President, Sata and Humpty Dumpty. HH should like Dora Indicated try standing as MP in Chitambo, maybe that can work for him and his inherited UPND

  54. Pf kaponyas are you not ashamed of yourselves supporting a dunderhead 75+ years/unknown but above 75 years?????? Which change can you get from this monster when he has been part of all the governments we have had?????? tell us what’s new about SATANA?

  55. 59 FINE.
    HH IS STILL UNDER FIVE. AS A LEADER YOU MUST BE GOOD AT PUBLIC RELATIONS. IN A HOME EVEN IF YOU DIFFER WITH YOU WIFE AND SLEEP IN DIFFERENT BEDS, YOU WILL NOT TELL YOUR CHILDREN ABOUT THAT. POLITICS IS MORE OF PUBLIC RELATIONS. DID HH EXPECT SATA TO TELL US THAT THERE WERE NO HAVING MEETINGS, AS FOLLOWERS WE WOULD HAVE PANICKED. HH YOU GO BACK TO PROFESSION IF THINK PUBLIC RELATIONS IS NOT IMPORTANT. YOU HAVE SAID THE PACT IS OVER BECAUSE SATA WANTED TO INTRODUCE GAYS, BUT IN YOUR LETTER IN POST, YOU GAVE DIFFERENT REASONS. ITS YOU WHO IS A LIAR. EVEN RB BEATS ON THIS.

  56. UPDN supporters are mosltyTongas. ZWA HH. if the blog was in voices, we were all going to HEAR. Hech Hech is going no where. How can I support someone who has never shown his teeth

  57. it is interesting that other people are noticing that it actually triblism is the matter. E en the pact was only favourable only as long as it provided a chance for a tribes man to go into state house?

  58. Mpombo should just join the PF rather than going in circles.His pockets bank accounts are now empty and needs the PF.

  59. 68 MARIA.
    YOU ARE REALLY DULL. A MAN IS AS YOUNG AS HE FEELS BUT A LADY IS AS OLD AS SHE LOOKS. AT 35-40 YRS, A LADY MAY NOT CONCIEVE BUT A MAN EVEN AT 100 CAN REPRODUCE. IF IN YOUR FAMILY OLD GUYS ARE DULL, GO TO HELL. AGE IS A NUMBER, DO KNOW HOW IS KING MSWATI? IS SWAZILAND DOING WELL? MUGADE HAS DEGREES, LOOK AT ZIM ECONOMY? DONT EVER USE AGE IN POLTICS. DO YOU KNOW COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE IF APPLIED TO POLITICS, IT MEANS YOUNG ONES EVEN IF DULL WILL RULE OR BIG TRIBES, RACES, RELIGIONS, HAUSA IN NIGERIA, WHITES IN AMERICA, HINDU IN INDIA WILL RULE EVEN IF THE CANDIDATE IS NOT FIT.CERTAINLY NOT. LET HH REMOVE AGE IN HIS COMPAIGN BECAUSE HE IS INSULTING OUR PARENTS INCLUDING YOURS. NOT ALL OLD GUYS ARE DULL. THERE ARE YOUNG ONES WHO ARE DULL LIKE YOU AND OLD GUYS WHO WISE LIKE MANDELA.

  60. #32 when Scott says donchi kubeba, its not meant for you, it is a coded message between Sata and himself regarding kooooombuyo. He really does not want Mr Sata to go about revealing such deep secrets

  61. MANIFESTO.
    ITS GOOD TO HAVE A MANIFESTO BUT IT NO GUARANTEE FOF GOOD GOVERNANCE. LOOK AT MMD MANIFESTO, WHERE DOES STATE THAT THE WILL CHANGE IMPORTANT LAWS LIKE PRESIDENTIAL GRATUITY, CORRUPTION LAWS, SINGLE SOURCING,ETC. WHAT HH COULD HAVE DONE IS THAT FIRST FORM GOVERNMENT WITH SATA AND IF SATA IS NOT RULING WELL, RESIGN AND FORM STRONGER UPND. DONT EXPECT PRESIDENCY ON A SILVER PLATE LIKE THE WAY YOU WERE GIVEN LIQUIDATION CONTRACTS. THE ISSUE OF A MANIFESTO IS TRIVIAL, AS THINGS CHANGE. A MANIFESTO CAN BE AMENDED. IT IS NOT A CONTRACT. YOU SHOULD HAVE RESISTED MMD TEMPTATION ESPECIALLY THAT CHILUBA IS CHAMPIIONING ALL THIS. HOW CAN ONE FTJ WITHOUT HUMBLE EDUCATION MANAGE TO CONFUSE YOUR SO CALLED INTELLECTUAL PARTY. FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

  62. 49 MUYANGANA
    ITS IS NOT THAT BEMBAS REFUSE TO RULED BY OTHERS, ARE YOU SO DULL TO FORGET THAT IN 2001 THAT LATE LEVY MWANAWASA (LENJE) GOT WINNING VOTES FROM BEMBAS AFTER LATE MAZOKA WAS LEADING. EVEN NOW RB ‘S MMD HAS A LOT OF MPS THERE COMPARED TO SOUTHERN PROVINCE. BEMBA EASILY MIX AND ACCEPT CHANGE. EVEN DO YOU STILL THINK CHITIMUKULU SUPPORTING RB IN PREFERENCE OF SATA. TELL ME ANY CHIEF IN ZAMBIA OPENLY NOT SUPPORTING ONE OF HIS? READ HISTORY OR RESEARCH, DONT BRING YOUR SHALLOW MIND HERE.

  63. KK was 40 when he became president, LPM was 54 years old. FTJ was 48.RB was 71 Sata will be 74 when he becomes president. HH will be 59 in 2021 when he becomes president.

  64. GOVERNMENT JITTERY OVER SATA?
    Reports reaching Zedleaks are that the Government has instituted a cut throat attack on PF leader Michael Sata. It is alleged that at a special meeting held at state house , senior personnel of both government news papers were given stern warning to ensure a continued negative reporting on Sata stays in the headlines. A simple count showed, without much surprise, that Sata’s name was mentioned an incredible Seventy Nine times in the Zambia Daily Mail and Forty Nine times in the Times of Zambia of the 17th, and 18th , February; beating The Post news paper which only had Three mention

  65. #2 2011 Wina Azalila,

    Ignoring what the POST is writing is not good. It is not the POST who said it, it was MPOMBO.
    What the MMD should do is respond appropriately to the claims by MPOMBO (IMPALA) who is doing what he is doing because of hatred against RB.

    The POST is not a factor in this case.

    What HH is doing is responding to what Sata is saying and doing. HH has been patient with Sata and PF till he could not stand it anymore (and no Zambian will stand what Sata and PF has done to UPND/PF PACT).

    President Banda and the MMD are doing fine and heading for a landslide win in the 2011 elections.

  66. #71 and #75: Man of the month: It means bakaponya are equally clever. I like your analysis, DONT KUBEBA!!! Alas, you have told them. Fantastic!!

  67. IT’S OFFICIAL

    “The pact between the United Party for National Development (UPND) and the Patriotic Front (PF) collapsed because UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema discovered that PF president Michael Sata is raising money from foreign powers by promoting homosexuality”.

  68. Hh is stubborn he was told to apologise to post but refused and told them to go to hell. So I don’t blame post paper for not covering the u5 chap. It is independent paper run by a private person who is able to choose the kind of news to cover.

  69. Mpombo is the one who does not know how to swim, he almost drowned in a swimming pool at sun hotel in Livingstone. I think Mpombo left his manners in that swimming pool because two days after that swilling pool fall when he was running away from the monkey, he resigned and has oral incontinence since that day. Let him be taken to Chainama for examination. When and where did he hear HH camapigning for RB? Sata was deliberately provoking UPND while wasting their time and he expected same people he was calling names to work with him, shame on him. All that Sata and PF wanted was to use UPND as his campaigning tool, no ways my idea. UPND will be going into full swing campaigning very soon. Sata and the Post have been doing that for a long time.

  70. I am not suprised with Mpombo’s behaviour, because he is always a desperate person. What do you expect from a man who refused to leave a government rented house and even to surrender a government car just because he had nowhere to go and he did not have any other car apart from official GRZ. I know he is just looking for a wagon where he jump on to start living on our tax. Who does not know that Mpombo is bankrupt and is looking for economic survival. Zambians these politicians have really taken us for granted, are we so dull not to realise this fact. Zambian politics is for job seekers, people who have never been on the plane apart from when they are in politics.

  71. PF and UPND can make MMD a non-entity in these elections if they both simply concentrate on De-campaigning Rupiah and his crowed.

    What Zambians are crying for is CHANGE!!! They have had it with MMD. Twenty years is long enough for these NON-PERFORMING sycophants in MMD. They have done enough damage to our Country and the majority Zambians know it and this should be a plus to all opposition parties. PF or UPND, people will care less!!

    But if the two biggest Parties start squabbling amongst themselves, voters MAY NOT BE ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE between them and MMD. So go out there and campaign as hard as you can as individual Parties, and let us have a breath of fresh air at the end of all this—-MMD needs to be shown the door by PF or UPND, who cares!!!

  72. 88. MUYANGANA.
    IF MPOMBO IS A JOB SEEKER, BLOKE AS YOU PUT IT. WHO IS NOT A JOB SEEKER? MIND YOU MPOMBO WAS NEVER FIRED, HE QUIT OUT OF PRINCIPLE. HIS RESIGNATION ACTUALLY SPELT DOOM FOR MMD. WHO TOLD YOU THAT WHEN YOU BECOME A MINISTER OR A POLITICAL LEADER, YOU SHOULD AMASS WEALTH LIKE FTJ? THE KIND OF THINKING PROMOTES CORRUPTION. A GOVT LEADER CAN STAY IN GOVT HOUSE FOR THREE MONTHS AFTER LEAVING OFFICE. NEXT TIME DO A BIT OF RESEARCH. BO MUYANYANGANA MPOMBO IS A BRAVE GUY AND PRINCIPLE GUY, COULD YOU HAVE RESIGNED IF IT WERE YOU. I DOUBT SO, YOUR LANGAUGE IS THAT OF SUPPORTING PLUNDERERS, MIND HE ‘S YET TO GET HIS GRATUITY. THE MONEY HE WAS GETTING AS SALARY IS NOT ENOUGH, MINISTERS WHO ARE MPS ACTUALLY USE THEIR PRIVATE MONEY TO EVER VISITING CONSTITUENCY OFFICIALS, PROBLEMS, ETC

  73. If Mpombo is a principled person why would he support an unprincipled person like Sata? Mpombo just miscalculated his political move by resigning from MMD hoping that would give him the plateform to win the presidency. Now he is stranded and broke so he is hoping to bounce back by joining Sata. We know such characters and Sata is good at exploiting such vulnerable souls.

  74. The disgrantled HH he gives so many reasons for his pull out which one are we going to believe i guess Mpombo is right he has been bought by MMD he thinks there is a position for him there hard luck.

  75. Being under 5 is a much better position than being close to death like Rupiah and Sata.
    H.H has plenty of time to change Zambia to a ‘Real Leading African” country.
    It all needs to start this year otherwise PF and MMD will destroy each other and all Zambians will be caught in the rage for Change.
    BE SMART AND DON”T VOTE FOR DONKEYS LIKE THE OLD DINOSAURS

  76. Ba Mpombo is not normal. Why is he clinging to MMD when day and night is busy promoting PF. Where does he belong? This ***** is disgruntled. What a bad example to the nation. Leave MMD and contest on PF ticket so that we know if you are popular.

  77. Somebody said it iz better to have common sense with a humble education, than have no sense at all, but with a chain of degreez.

  78. THE TRUTH PAINS FOR SURE AND WORSE STILL IT DESTROYS IF YOU GO AGAINST IT.
    SATA and PF supporters and their so called independent image builders know that HH/UPND was meant to be used and later erased from Zambian politics for PF to remain.
    BUT the TRUTH is that HH/UPND had enough of being insulted,bullied and deceived THEN obliged to SATA’S letter of firing them thinking HH/UPND was already dead so SATA/PF could go it alone.ALAS!! SATA shot in the air and his bullet strayed to his own legs making it not possible to reach STATE HOUSE .BUT seeing HH/UPND seriously politely,respectfully headed for STATE HOUSE with PEOPLE’S upnd/manifestowhich has the,social,economical and good governance programme

  79. Mpombo as the name suggests is ‘MPOMBO’ . Ask any Easterner about the meaning of the word and you will know it aptly describes him.

  80. IMPORTANT REMINDER TO ALL ZAMBIANS-HISTORICAL TRUTH MUST NOT BE FORGOTTEN AND IGNORED.
    1.SATA when he was SG for MMD disolved mmd bauleni branch when Late Mazoka m.h.s.r.i.p.won the position of branch treasurer because SATA had information that MAZOKA was favoured to take over MMD after CHILUBA(power hungry sata)
    2.SATA single handedly organised CHAWAMA matcheting saga among fellow citens(dangerous and power hungry sata)
    3.SATA expelled the ALL mmd members who were against the CHILUBA third term(dictatorship/undemocratic and capable of dismantling any people’s legitimately enacted zambian law for him to die in power like Gadafi)
    4.SATA formed PF with HATE AND VENGENCE manifesto against CHILUBA AND MWANAWASA because he wanted power to himself(all SATA/PF supporters preach hate and…

  81. Ka HH just shut up and continue with your mascerade as chief plunderer of businesses in the name of consultancies. or come to my farm and help me for 6 cattle

  82. IMPORTANT STILL.I am mindful of the fact that as I remind truthlfully I am causing pain to SATA/PF supporters and sympathisers but i no aplogies because the truth must be told that part of the GOD commissioned evangelical christian duty and resiposimbilty especialyy in a christian country.
    5.SATA decampaigned Late Hon E Kasonde m.h.s.r.i.p.in Northen province by teeling norethners not to vote for Kasonde on NP party of Akashambatwa BECAUSE Kasonde will sell them to Lozis(genetically and dangerously trbalist-sata/pf supporters use this as their lethal/powerful campaign weapon-manifesto)
    6.SATA deceived/cheated Northen and Luapula sisters,brothers,mothers.farthers,grandfathers and grandmothers that THE CORRUPTION FIGHT was not meant to fight CHILUBA but BEMBAS to win votes…

  83. LUSAKA TIMES please notify us if you are one of the consultants for image building for sata/pf ?Because DONCHI KUBEBA has a genocidal promotional language but he is not moderrated.
    I AM JUST STATING HISTORICAL TRUTH AND FACTS WHICH CAN BE FOLLOWED AND PROVED.T

  84. Your under 5 president has been insulting Sata while the MMD has kept quiet on UPND so what does that mean. Kakoma to have mealie meal it has to go through a mill. While Sata has done that your U5 is still in napkins

  85. ASKING TO BE EDUCATED ON THIS OBSERVATION OF MINE AND I THINK EVEN OTHER PEOLE.
    THE POST News paper vowed not to cover HH/UPND whatever their personal differences between UPND and POST.
    1.Is it fare coverage or professional press/media practice to NOT COVER HH OR UPND AND THEIR SUPPORTERS/SYMPATHISERS WHEN THEY SAY SOMETHING ABOUT SATA/PF BUT COVER THOSE WHO SAY ANYTHING AGAINST HH/UPND. My understanding is that HH or UPND names must not be covered by THE POST both directly or indirectly and rightly or wrongly.
    2.With the negative relationship between HH AND MMEMBE Aand UPND nad THE POST was it right and out of sincerity for the POST senior management staff to be found in a meeting meant to mend fences between HH/UPND and SATA/PF?CAUTION: I AM ASKING TO BE EDUCATED BY GOD DRIVEN SOULS…

  86. #68 Age is just a number womwan! AN OLD PERSON IS LIKE A LIBRARY FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.You sound like a very dull person my dear.Go back to school and learn some manners including respect for your fathers,mother,grand fathers and grand mothers.You dont have manners not even bad ones! MMD kuyabebele!! VIVA PF!!!!

  87. i almost wanted to think the guy (Hichilema) was just being hated by pipo for being told he is not old enough to rule. the guy is intelligent and all at school but not to rule people. lets call a spade a spade the guy is not mature and looks disorganised when it comes to political issues.

  88. to all my fellow contributors on LT, here is my question, lets say MCS or HH or RB won this year’s elections, which of the three parties has enough skilled human resource to steer this country out of its current poverty situation? Who is Who in PF? Who is Who in UPND? Who is Who in MMD? which party has a team that can bring development to Zambia?

  89. It is true HH has shown true colours of such an immature politician. I am afraid to advaice him that he has to go to his calculators now. Zambians have lost interest in him coz they cant wast votes on a lossing good business man. Let him go and do his business before it is too late. He is not a politician period. This is reality guys.

  90. Yes i agree with you # some blogers like JOHN PHIRI, RED CARD DONCHI KUBEBA and many others who just dwell in insults there comments are not moderated, LT be neutral and let your editor be serious about this triblist who want to divide our country, LT may i ask you a simple question, Is this site for insulting each other or debating on constructive issues? mind you LT some posters on this site are small kids and under age who are less educated and ignorance. your site was a good web its a pity that you have allowed personal insults to continue without taking action. Anyway all the best LT

  91. HH is too proud- he thinks he is a know it all….. no wonder he could’nt bow down to the PF Leader for the post of VIP… The man is used to receiving things on a silver plata. he grabbed the UPND presidency through crooked means, and thought that he would do the same in the PACT. the man is too raw for a politician to dribble SATA.

    Chanda Chimba, Edward Mumbi, Chifire, Lifwekelo and HH are the same.

  92. Is Mpombo still normal? I suspect the monkey in livinstone really affected his head. Cant someone dear to him take him for mental check-up? I am scared, what he does and says seem to be coming from some lunatic or so? Help out someone.

  93. No more pre-historic freedom fighters in Statehouse. What’s wrong with us as Zambians? Are we still FIGHTING FOR INDEPENDENCE for us to vote for ANOTHER oldwie?? It will be like jumping from a frying pan (RB) into hell itself (MC). Why is the retirement age set at 55??. He is 20 yrs above retirement age and no matter how much you to sell him, he is just un-saleable. Time is up for him for heaven’s sake. We are behaving like Sata is our relative so that come what may he has to enter statehouse at all costs regardless of his behaviour, age and history. The man is tired and a spent force. Just look at his face, wrinkles all over. I tell you God has given us a rare breed of a proven economist and believe you me, let us not blame God when our country is thrown into economic chaos!! Viva HH.

  94. # 108: Actually a few Zambians i met in Nyimba, Solwezi, Lukulu and the whole southern Province including parts of western love and feel he is more mature. I guess you should do your homework. The truth is: With the death of the Pact and the advanced and dictatoiral tendencies of Sata, PF wil never test power. I am really sad about this. Had PF acted maturely to all proposals of the pack partners, withings could be different now. Sorry for Sata. Ndausa

  95. Hitler, you really a brain man. That is what dynamic minds should be discussing and not who what pact. Who can deliver for Zambia with rationality and integrity?

  96. #22 find grounds to raise real issues. Anyways Mpombo has found himself between the rock and a hard surface. He has no where to turn to. For HH and UPND go on with selling the manefesto. we know the limitation of some people and it is slowly showing by changing on positions with things they are on record on (PF and the gay policy). Please isukulu (school) is good, it removes some of the primitive ideas like the ones you see with # 22.

    Mad MMD is now expanding a road in lusaka with no out let in the hope that traffic flow will improve who advises these guys… it is sad to see what is happening in this country.

  97. Zambia needs men and women,boys and girls of high calibre to make good decision based on merite,lets not bit the bush,HH is the most credible leader among the top three,no doubt about it he has a balanced team which can steer proper national development,talk of health,education,agriculture,mining,policies to drive are their,let men and woman raise and give this man chance,mpombo,post and some tribalist should be ignored,we wont eat talking but actions for developement

  98. There is a wind of change blowing towards HH and Milupi as the real people who can push it. We need to fix the economy which was spoled by these recycled politicians like Sata, V.J Rupiah Banda etc. We need young men to move our economy, the old have to retire as retirement age in Zambia is 55 meaning they have over stayed, the question in my heart is, what do they really want? They should rest as we are ready to take care of them well.

  99. My heart is bleeding to see HH being used by CHANDA CHIMBA as campagn material for RB.

    I know HH has no experience in governance and politics but being used is very demeaning for a person of his calibre. Obama and David Chamilion were in parliament for more than 5 years before vying for presidence.You cant solve zambia’s current problems.

    We need you as a future leader ,when you get some experience but dont let old men just MISUSE you like that. Today you are with SATA tommorrow you are with RB. You will end up a political prostitute.

  100. On ‘Mr Mweetwa told QFM that Mr Mpombo should concentrate on rebuilding his political career which he said was dealt a serious blow following the recent ward elections in Kafulafuta were the UPND narrowly lost to the ruling MMD despite him campaigning for the Patriotic Front which came third‘ this is the best that Mpombo needs to know.

    All tired characters are in trouble this year because they will not be able to match the youths who want real change.

    Be blest all and vote for the UPND to form GRZ Administration under possible President HH.
    _
    Matt 6:33.

  101. hh is a sellout the boy likes money too much.he thought he will ride on sata’s back asanga cimudala calikwata kapilyenshi mu dribbling.actually one of his two degrees is about how to deal with dribbling and the other on popularity.calisungapo ci father bacepa.

  102. When mandela became president of South Africa, the only experience he had was prison life but the man proved selfless and was loved by all South Africans. HH has experience in the private sector and all the companies he managed are the most successful, meaning he is a man of success, thats why we need him this time around. When Kaunda became president of Zambia, he was just a teacher without any experience in the public sector and he became a good leader who united zambians. What we need is a person with a good truck record, not these recycled politicians like Sata whose truck record is connected to the third term, etc.

  103. If ALL Zambians were wise enough!!!!,change to any party could make a difference IN THIS COUNTRY ,lets just try the other PARTY ,@ LEAST we have seen what the MMD has done this country
    for some 20 plus Yrs,

  104. ALL N’GWAN’GWAN’ZI who couldn’t work with Levy formed PF -chekela ko,imagine they have already started sharing plots careful council zool animals in LUSAKA. for MPOMBO HES ALREADY A SORRY SITE pliz HH THE shoes which MAZOKA GAVE him are finnished , he can’t even repair his vehicle.finnished -pliz help,for GUY pliz BRITAIN come to the aid of your national, hes found with gangstars. british are nobre pipo but hes given a very negative picture of that great country with his long cigers alwaysl found with criminals God forbid zambia- we do’nt have british in our prisons his out look is scary,we can’t have rough looking VP. for winter i remember his father disowned him when he was a child becoz of bad behavior think of being dis owned by father, it’s curse isn’t?.
