Former Member of Parliament for Sinazongwe,Sacheye Madyenkuku says people in Southern Province have shifted their support from the UPND to the ruling MMD due to the demise of the PACT.

 

Madyenkuku who is Former Cabinet Minister in the Chiluba Era said this during a MMD Card Renewal Exercise at Victoria Hall.

Mr.Madyenkuku told a gathering of MMD Cadres that the UPND can never win this year’s tripartite elections owing to the their past performance in the past electoral polls.

Madyenkuku was Minister of labour before resigning from the MMD when he later joined the PF,then went to the UPND and later returned to the MMD as a
supporter.

He said according to the survey he carried,the UPND has lost support due to the collapse of the PACT.

Southern Province MMD Chairman,Edgar Kembe has refuted claims that the MMD in Southern Province has never endorsed the Parallel Vote Tabulation.

Speaking during the MMD Provincial Card Renewal process at Victoria Hall,Mr.Kembe said he was shocked by the story that appeared in the Post Newspaper under the title “PF,MMD in the South endorse the PVT”

Meanwhile Provincial MMD Youth Chairman Augustine Barewa Mungala told Radio Musi-o-Tunya that the youths who endorsed the PVT did not consult him as a Party leader.

A number of MMD youths who attended the AVAP Workshop appended their signatures on the PVT petition sheet at Fairmount Hotel recently.

  1. RB see if you can offer HH Vice Presidence and start talking to Milupi and Nawakwi too. Do not take the coming elections for granted coz it gonna be hot this year. Go to Western and appologize to the people for the arrests and killings, its never too late. Remember Christianity is about repetence and forgiveness. Never mind the likes of Mr.Imikendu those are finished politicians. I would prefer RB hands the nation to HH than the un democratic PF.

  2. Madyenkuku is a very desperate politician, he is a party prostitute, does not believe in ideologies and goes where he thinks the wind is blowing. Do not rely on what comes out of his. What research is he talking about?

  3. Misleading headline you gat there LT, I am not a jounalist but you dont just lay out a persons opinion in a headline like that, shaa

  4. Wangulanu, do not entangle RB into the Barotse web. Revolt against an elected Govt is a serious crime. Besides, the Barotse saga was targeted at the Litunga to replace his Kingdom with a Republican enclave in the same manner as Politicians operate in Swaziland. Kashimani, help us define the true meaning of the “prostitute”. Who is the real prostitute between Madyenkuku wearing male clothes and Inonge Wina dangling in a see-thru skirt within the ranks of PF? Read realities on the ground than resort to emotions.

  5. #4 Iwe CC Malama ‘getting’ elected is not a licence to do as you like. Africa is littered with ‘elected’ leaders who went on to oppress and maim their people. Wasnt Mugabe ‘elected’? What has Inonge got to do with #1’s opinion? You think #1 is Lozi and therefore going after any Lozi person is legit. You sir are a very backward and half literate dimwit.

  6. Directionless Mandyenkuku, neither here nor there! What a man. These are the fellows who want to make politics their mainstay but u can’t succeed with your level of impatience.

  7. Please ba LT do not turn yourselves into jokers as the Post is foundly known nowadays as image builders, Vuvuzela of PF and so on. These job seekers are cheating RB. Let them not misled our good president. Otherwise their is no such a thing, all pipo are looking forward to is a real change and HH is the answer.

  8. Madyenkuku is a disgruntled opportunist and political prostitute chap running part to part for personal gain all meaning zambians should not take him seriously, he is a crazy chap from Gwembe valley were they smoke too much of ndobo ndobo..

  9. As long as UPND has characters like madyenkuku, HH does not stand a chance! And there are many like him in the party who have been misleading HH.

  10. My message to HH is: don’t be swayed by old style politics of defections and media propaganda. Stay firm and stick to your guns. There are millions of voters out there who want change but do not trust Sata with the instruments of power. These voters know that voting for Sata is like voting for Mugabe or Gaddaffi and they will not waste their vote on such a person. Theses are the voters who stay away. You are their only hope, reach out to them and marshall them into a formidable political force. Ask like minded people like Miyanda, Milupi, Magande and Chitala to join you. You are better off losing with principles than behaving like a political prostitute. Time is on you side even if you lose you will bounce back again in 2016.

  11. All talk from an EX UPND member from Chiluba’s era who know supports MMD.
    what else do you expect? NOT MUCH.

    If one MMD cadre says southern province is changing then it must be true…..Everyone must believe it to be true….hehehe
    Kaponya’s in MMD…..Kaponyas in PF.
    Let them kill each other and leave Zambia in peace with the educated to thrive

  12. @ #14 i realy like your comment very well organized.I am just wondering when this mentaly vulnarable chap siamujaye become the mouth piece for southern province.where did he take the survey from and what kind of sampling did he use.Ba LT pliz dont just publish any mouth opening.

  13. I agree with the last sentence of #14. I wud also not help for any party to be perceived of negative vices like insults or kaponya type. UPND be ware. PF is now strugling against perceiption of Thugly because of what was done or said by its leaders. Because of my love for the late Mwanawasa, Iam waiting to see which party wil champion his cause. Cud it be RB (Round aBout)?

  14. Madyenkuku is not a serious person don’t mind him very soon we will hear that he has joined UNIP i feel sorry for him he has no direction and no shame

  15. Correction.
    I agree with the last sentence of #14. It wud also not help for any party to be perceived of negative vices like insults or kaponya type. UPND be ware. PF is now strugling against perceiption of Thugly because of what was done or said by its leaders.(might stil win any way). However, for me, the passion for the late Mwanawasa is making me wait to see which party wil champion his cause. Cud it be RB (Round aBout)?

    Complain about this comment

  16. who cares , us Zambians its on the winning Paty in the form of PF. All Zambians know that only PF winning this years ellections.

  17. Madyenkuku or Mukombwe ? Always changing parties, trying to find where his personal needs can best be met. Very sad.

  18. NALIKWANDA UPND OFFICIALS JOIN PF,KEKEKEKE
    VIVA THE LARGEST OPPOSITION PARTY,DONT WASTE YOUR VOTES ON TRIBALISTS.
    PF, BE PART OF THE WIND OF CHANGE
    PF, BE PART OF THE BALLOT REVOLUTION
    VOTE MICHAEL SATA AND MWAMUKOLO COME 2011.

  19. Madyenkuku was Minister of labour before resigning from the MMD when he later joined the PF,then went to the UPND and later returned to the MMD as a
    supporter.

  20. Job seekers are many in political circules, they dont even upgrade their educational levels and all they know is making noise.

  21. Madyenkunku hs no directinon!,& is a liar!!,he just want another post as a minister of labour
    from the ruling party,..he si a politic HOLIGAN

  22. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
    Madyenkuku is not UPND. He was MMD then,UPND then PF. and now MMD. He was chaesd from UPND because him and MWANAJITI owner of the MONITOR cried for a TONGA president in 2006.
    These two are currently looking for jobs in MMD.

  23. Madyenkuku is a tribalist where people are now accusing HH instead of this man who promoted it then HH fired him from UPND now that stain pipo accuse an innocent guy

  24. Ba LT, Madyenkuku actually was MMD til 2005 then defected vto UPND thru 2007 and went to PF in 2008 til this year in January. this is the guy who once made headline in the POST by saying SATA is unstoppable towrds end of last year. and now says its MMD winning. …..hahahahaaha Politics of insencerity and lies.
    i agree with Gen Miyanda, whether SATA is popular or not, he is still not the suitable person for Presidency. with his flip flop behavior, one wonders how he can run govt with such inconsistences.
    i shudder to think he wins.

  25. This mad nkuku o ist sachaye didnt he tel us that was resigning from pf coz doesnt want to continue in politics; so wats he talkin about

  26. Madyenkuku is right the impact of ending the PACT has left and will definitely increase uncertainty among voters hence the split of UPND voters between PF and MMD. When leaders fail to see beyond the executive of the party and fight publicly to settle their own misunderstanding, they turn realise too late that they no long hold grounds at grass root level. HH and Sata should both not take advantage of that people thinking they are not observing on what is happening. They both were quick and boosting the ending of the PACT not realising they are actually loosing a small number of voters which would have changed the course of direction of this years’ elections. Please don’t blame MMD if they win the elections. What happened to “a good leader listens, a Wiseman never settles disputes in publi

  27. This man was my Member of parliament for 10 years in sinazongwe constituency. In Gwembe Valley, we dont have such stupid persons like him. We had Beyani, simuchembu, Manyika, Syatalimi who were real sons of the Gwembe valley. It should be noted that Madyenkuku is from a family of well respected christians, but his behaviour, has surprised alot of people expecially for those who knew him from kanchindu mission school. I don’t want to say much for now because, he want to be nominated under MMD as parliamentary candiade. Please MMD, there is no way you can think of wnning in sinazongwe constuency come rain or sunshine…!!!! Just look another person to be your spokes person in this province but sure not this rotten man..!!!!!

  28. MADYENKUKU OLI MBULI MUBWA UZUZANA KUFUMBWA NKOBAPALA MPOTO.WIL SEE IF PF OR MMD WILL STAND WITH UPND COME DE ELECTION DATE DONT MISREAD DE MMD OR PF.DE MIGHTY UPND WILL SHOW U INJANZA.VIVA HHHHHHHHHHH

  29. You see now, in western province, they have issued a statement, about people plarded as PF defectors. I admire SATA very much as politician, he knows his game well, but even he know he can not pull through in western province… He should not allow this woman to issue unwanted defection when the person rresigned from UPND is her worker.. Lets try to be objective about our talking. A simple case to note here: Sakwiba Sikota was Vice president to Sata,,, what more about Wina is just a chairperson for PF wich is also held by Mulobezi member of parliament Mr. Mabenga. Atleast UPND hsa a vice president from there, and they are likely to perfom well including ADD party. So Mrs Wina must stop cheating Sata about support…

  30. Kanyanta 5//

    You have a point

    Never mind 4// he seems not to understand what he is talking about. Sorry that I am not in Zambia to have a feel of the actual situation on the ground anyway.

  31. Kizito 39//

    You have a point too. Only a person with a brain leackage can trust PF with State powers. In this case such a person is loosing memory every hour and forgeting everything. I am scared Zambians may make a very big mistake anyway.

  32. 42 Deja Vu//

    If the he refers to HH being adopted by MMD fine. I wish he goes for Vice President post. He can be a good Vice President and take over the Party leadership later on. There is more democracy in MMD than in PF. Those observed weaknesses can be corrected giving the party a new life and stamina. Problem with PF is, one can not trust that, what the leadership says today will be respected tommorrow.

  33. LT put a decent picture for UPND supporters unlike this bar club picture with beers. kapena ndimwe ba MMD?

  34. This guy is a shameless rolling stone of a politician. Never bother to take such clowns seriously. The truth is MMD will lose in Southern Province.

  35. #38 MADYENKUKU OLI MBULI MUBWA UZUZANA KUFUMBWA NKOBAPALA MPOTO, ALIMWI WANDISESHA KAPATI- How doesnt a dog know that there are leftovers when a pot is being cleaned.
    Kupal Mpoto is a common thing in the south. I just wished this energy could be directed to problem solving Zambia would have been a developed nation!

  36. Lusaka times has become MMD mouth piece. All they are writing about now is MMD positives.
    Now you can see what a brown envelope can do. the editor is pocketing something behind the scene.

    Mwanga is working day and night to recruit agents. Start analysing everything coming from this paper. It has lost its independence. It is now a sub-contract speaker of the MMD machinery.

    Don’t be fooled, this paper is up to something. Remember, the price of freedom is constant vigilance. Don’t go to sleep
