Five Hundred youths in Monze District in Southern Province have defected from the opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) party to join the Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD).
Speaking when youths gathered at Kobil Filing station to officially resign from UPND and join the MMD, Mazuba Nchimunya, a youth said that as youths they had been committed members of UPND party but were disappointed because there were no consultations over certain decisions made within the party.
ZANIS reports that Mr. Nchimunya said that UPND went into the PACT with Patriotic Front without consultations with the youth wing thereby undermining the role they are supposed to play in strengthening the party.
He confirmed that five hundred youths including himself, decided to join MMD and support President Rupiah Banda during this year’s general elections.
Mr. Nchimunya said due to lack of consultation in the party, it was impossible for the UPND to win this year’s elections adding that they were tired of being in an opposition party that could not consider the important role of youths.
And welcoming the youths into the MMD party, MMD Secretary for Southern Province Emmerson Machila said they were welcome to a great and peaceful party.
Mr. Machila said those who have decided to join MMD must not be disturbed by others who have remained in the opposition because it was a wise resolve which should be emulated by youths.
He said the MMD in Southern Province was going flat out rebuilding and strengthening the party in order to demonstrate that it was a party with national character.

In this day and edge you cant still have politics of deception and staged crowds and defections. I leant one thing in life that no matter how much you try to cover b,ull sh^t , it will still stink .
So ba MMD please stop wasting your money paying loosers to pretend to be leaving a party they were never part of. if they were they could have left long ago.
stage managed defections…IFWE NI PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
We the real UPND supporters are getting stronger in our resolve to boot out MMD because of BS like this. SO keep paying people to stage performances for you and laugh at your dull jokes and we’ll show you this year how much of a joke you are. Zwaa MMD
Taking a realistic analysis,
If MMD wins UPND will never be a party for long again. If PF wins UPND stands a chance to bounce back. Realistically, the pact may be gone but UPND members can do maths and decide to vote for PF to save UPND. Sometimes you have to learn when to give away to gain more. I hope UNPD members will do some maths and swat analysis to decide which way forward. Better late than Never..
So what……..this has been the MMD´s gimmicks. Why not let the voters have their final say in the elections instead of this rigging and all that does not interest no one but selfish fat cats.
The PACT was for the people. I just can swallow it why HH and his advisers could not give a little to take over presidency after SATA. HH will remember this mistake for a long time. Just a little Patience and he would have taken over. We all know at grass root that HH has very little credential to be president without first humbling himself to get some experience in the vice president’s office, which is quite big for some who has never won any elections before. I was ready to vote for SATA to push HH into lime light for the next showdown, but he has let me down. That being too Greedy
This Stage managed defections……when they joined the Party whom dd they tell. Thats the Problem with Poverty……makes people to be bought. What is more anoying is that wrong Leaders have driven the YOUTHS into Poverty and make them easy to be manupilated. Unless the young open up their eyes they will continue supporting recycled politicians who give them no jobs…poor education prospects….poverty…desease….etc.WE have to STAND UP and ensure we change the Political spectrum of our country for good.

#6 why should UPND go into PACT and form govt when there no programme for the country? You form a govt with a vision. all progressive Presidents have a vision. You can not go into the PACT for the sake of removing MMD u do that with a vision on how you are going develop the country. Its better to be in the opposition than form a directionless government. I for one I support UPND, because i do understand what this country needs, where we came from when UNIP left Govt what suffering our people went through, how thousands of jobs were lost through liquidation of companies, implimentation of bad policies. To correct this mess u need a serious team of leaders with a clear Agenda. You will realise that the economy has now started growing again, but the growth is smaller for it to be meaningful
I conquer with No 8. I feel disappointed with the move UPND has made. Time is not yet over as Sata said. We in UPND should get ourselves reorganized and re-negotiate with PF a way forward. We have been together for so many years but at last Greediness has destroyed the PACT, literally helping MMD. Shallow thinking. UPND get back on the bus, PF is waiting for us. I have talked to lots of my UPND friends and they are furious with one man’s decision. We still want the PACT please Mr HH.
this is politics of acient days. thoses defectors are as unprincipled as the author of the article and those who are welcoming them in MMD. politics of shame and embarrassment.
Before I read this article I first looked at the source, suffice to say I then took it in with a pinch of salt. Unfortunately for UPND, there is no media house that is giving them positive publicity. MMD has state-run media to campaign for them, we all no who is supporting Sata, who I must add has turn into an angel (overnight) for this particular media house. It is sad to see how the ethics and professionalism of Zambian journalists has eroded.
MMD for sure has dug deep in southern province(SP) I am very sure this infor is true. People in SP this time around will not vote on tribal lines. The guy major chizuka destroyed the ligaments of hh in SP. This time around upnd is going to have less votes compared to 2008. The battle is between sata and rb. We hope western province would give pf some votes though majority may go to milupi and mmd becoz my lo-zi mbuyazi forget very easy- I mean the mongu fracus. I mean it becaoz right there mongu and rest of western province will vote for mmd. Good luck all in politics.
#9 continued………….
The team we need is the one which will create wealth for the country. that will generate opportunities for the Zambian people in industry….Agric, tourism, business,etc…..the Team that will strengthen partnership with local and foreiogn investor…..that will increase productive participation for the broader section of out people in the economy. You wil appreciate that Zambia is among the Poorest nations of the world and this was verified by the World Bank. We qualified for debt cancellation because we have no capacity to pay back……..the question is where are going to get the money to develop the country….how are we going to create wealth for country….how do expand the investment in both private and public sectors so tha we create Jobs for our people..
I started getting suspicious when UPND started shifting goal posts. We got confused with in-fighting whenever HH addressed people he would talk about Young leaders etc. I also wondered why it took so long to decide who would be the Pact leader. I would accept Mazoka to refuse being vice to Sata, but HH is a replacement and should have accepted to start as vice because he has no political and leadership experience. We know Sata has been in parliament and was very good for that. Minister of housing & Health and he proved himself. Best Lusaka Governor. So he has something to show.b HH you are very young man, learn to stand before you walk. Have better strategies
So let us be serious in the way we vote…..because we have a lot to do….lets NOT allow lies and deception to take root…..lets quiz candidates…..NO 90 DAYS MONEY MIRACLE LIES……lets be serious now
I tell you politics is a game of sleepless nights especially if the pendulum swings the other end. I am sure this news of late is driving the moods of HH to the wall with sleepless nights. The news maybe false but even false news is bad. Hh and gardafi have one thing in common at this moment ‘SLEEPLESS NIGHTS’ African politics no wonder they call it dirt politics.
#15 what do u define as Leadership….and what do u define as relevant experience? Is the Experience of District governor same to that of President? or Ministers experience same to that of President?……The answer is NOOOOOOOOOO. The only person who has experience among the 3 candidates is RB……if we follow ur arguments….its only RB who should be voted into power. HH and SATA do not have Presidential experience…..and CHILUBA and KK….supervised this SATA and told us that HE is NOT presidential material…….and why should our country be ruled by a grade 4…..and at 73 years….he has to retire and Leave the politics to people who can bring modern ideas
HH mistakes are a result of inexperience in politics, period.
Mwaanga is better at maths than HH. Mwaanga joined UNIP instead of ANC because he did sums and things did not add up. Mwanga again did sums and decided to remain in MMD and not UPND because things did not add up again. Now HH can’t do these types of sums. This is the reason he has made this biggest mistke of his life. Mazoka would have told him take up vice president. Sata is getting old and you are young. Prove to the people that you can perform as vice president and you are game for presidency. The cards were in his hands and instead of throwing in a green card , he throws a Red card. Goshhh. Sorry keep red to your chest for the right moment after MMD is dead.
Hohohohohohoho the mighty Tonga titanic is sinking in thick mud, please remember my prophesy. I repeat ‘ by this time next year the only recognisable face that would remain in once mighty UPND would be that of lunatic Chizhyuka, everybody else would have jumped either to MMD or PF”. Happy days ahead.
IT’S NOW SCRAMBLE FOR UPND MEMBERS. PF AND MMD ARE NOW SHARING UPND MEMBERS WHO HAVE REALISED THAT UPND IS THERE TO SPLIT THE VOTES.
IF YOU YOU WANT CHANGE,THEN VOTE PF AND MICHAEL SATA.
DONT WASTE YOUR VOTE ON SMALL TRIBAL PARTIES.
BE PART OF THE BALLOT REVOLUTION.
PA BWATOOOOOOO MWAMUKOLOOOOO PFFFFFFFFF 2011.
those are fake coverage i was in monze those yourth are upnd they even blocked the road forcing drivers to chant upnd symbol.am suprised the way these pipo cheat us.the only car i saw was for the daily mail.shame
What has gone wrong in UPND camp has HH distroyed our tonga party what next is HH politically imature to do such a thing scattering his members in such a way
We still have time. Lets take PF and UPND executives with some mediators and lock them in one board room until they come out with harmonized manifesto for rebuilding Zambia. Then we all UNPD and PF can cheer and get back on tract to liberating mother Zambia. UPND and PF members should embrace and shame the leaders. After all the two can perform check and balance to each other as they take over ministries. Viva UPND/PF we are still waiting for common ground and sense to prevail. Abash tantrums!!.
This is a strategy for MMD to rig votes in Southern Province in its favour. Remember that it can no longer rig in Western Province as was in 2008 given the current political situation, so a ‘replacement’ province has been found by playing in the weaknesses (strategically caused by MMD sponsored UPND cadres). Are we starting to see the ‘death’ of UPND?
HH people have left you what do you think what have you done wrong just ask your self
I like the story of Joseph son of Jacob. He was a man of God but accepted the position pharaoh (a non godly person) gave him.
HH seems to be a very trust worth person yet untried and thinks that sata will dribble him later. Dribbling mr hh would not occur because people (your supporters) are there and watching so it won’t be posible for sata to do that.
A wise idea is go in as vise. You never know what would happen tomorow and you would be president. You are old but learn wisdom and humbleness.
#9 U SHUD TELL US IF UPND WILL PUSH TO DISCUSS THE ECONOMICAL AND SOCIAL PROGRAM WITH APC IN DUE COZ. AM SURE HH IS PROUD TO BE ENDORSED HAS PRESIDENT FOR THIS NEW PACT…THIS IS SELFISHNESS. I WOULD HAVE LOVED HIM TO SHOW THE SAME THING HE EXPECTED PF TO DO, TO DO IT TO APC WHERE THEY FORMULATE A METHOD OF ADOPTING THE PRESIDENT THAN AUTOMATIC ENDORSEMENT.
HH SHUD APOLOGISE AND PLEAD TO RECONCIL OTHERWISE THERE IS MORE TO COME INTERMS OF FINISHING HIM POLITICALLY….I KNOW NAWAKWI HAS ALOT TO SHARE WATCH THE SPACE…UPND IS DEAD AND BURIED THIS YR.
any one knows a site i can watch our football????????? pliz…
What a cheap shot. Just because PF scored with defections in western province, MMD stage manages their own in Southern province. News flash MMD, the defectors in western province had titles which they held in UPND what is the title of your youths from UPND
Politically, HH is imature and greedy at all cost. I was reading his interaction with Panji and was able to tell that this guy is nothing but uncivilised greedy person who wants every to be in his direction. This is his end and UPND will never be the same again. I can assure you that the performance of UPND this time around will chaotic
SATA, despite the state media propaganda has continues to enjoy the support of the masses. If anything, MMD is making him a hero each and everyday. We watch Chanda chaima, but we know that these are desperate moves just to descredite the opposition leader who they view as a big threat. RUPIAH has sleepless nights over MC
How i wish HH could listen to the people. Come back to the PACT there is still time. I can bet you now that UPND is staring extinction in the mouth. Becuase HH lacks political clout every statement he makes is subtracting supporters from UPND and is adding to PF. He wont get Western province, he will share southern province he will share central province as well. HH has no stronghold at all. How does he hope to win an election
Can some statistics guru help me with facts and figures of how UPND or PF expect to win this year’s elections. Thanks FC
Can ZANIS report on MMD members defecting to UPND? No! Thiis is a fake story. ZANIS Stay out of politics. You are a governent information wing not an MMD propaganda wing. The MMD must make its own propaganda news unit. We can’t be wasting our taxes on MMD party campaigns!
this is all crap..where on earth can mmd get such huge numbers..?wtahc the space..
# 35 for now the statistics may be misleading, remember this is Africa, information is distorted, fake defections etc. But going by the feel on the ground PF will do better than UPND as they have done in the last 2 elections. The main contest is between MMD and PF. and the victor will barely scrape through.
Only foo.lish people can accept to work with Sata in his current state of mind. UPND did well to disengage from PF because they could not work in harmony. If Zambians want to be ruled by Sata let them go ahead and vote for PF, it is not up to UPND and HH to decide for them. As far as UPND is concerned it was going to be impossible to work with PF if they formed govt as a pact. Sata is very disrespectful to other people and the fact he can produce a volume of disjointed words in a minute does not make him the best candidate. The man has no time to analyse issues and his marriage with the Post is disgraceful. Fred Membe is a manipulative, deceptive and desperate person.
#6 did Sata tell you that he was going to make HH his vice president. Is it that because that is what you wanted hence you feel Sata would have been obliged to do it. People let us be honest with ourselves. If a person can refuse to make a joint programme of running the country, if he can refer to his Pact partner as an under 5 what makes you think he can appoint him as his vice. Its not like the law says so. Not to mention already shortlisting candidates for all contituencies when you are in a pact. . When you embark on a project good management skills entail you to abandon the project when it shows negative return no matter how beautiful the project looks on paper. That is the reality of life otherwise you will invest into a bottomless pit.
Colonel Panji Kaunda has issued a statement in todays post newspaper so # 39 and 40 you should read it maybe you may as well read through HH. Sata has not go out to scandalise HH after the demise of the PACT yet HH has been incoherent in his scandalisation of sata when it comes to the demise of the PACT. every one has been talking about what programes of running the country will Sata have and he has answered you clearly. The man is just centered on making the average Zambian benefit from their resources. I dont think there is any policy in the world that can beat that. Let foreign investors come but let the ordinary Zambian be a part of that investment
Since the Pact was not a political party how was it going to form the next government since the MPs would still be either PF or UPND ? Can somebody educate me.I thought coalition gov’t is not possible in our electoral system of “first past the post”.
#40 Zambia One, I concur with you 100%. Sata is very deceptive, a man never to be trusted, a man who chased a lot from MMD, a man who destroyed ULP and has now messed up the UPND. Who should trust such a conman?
How can someone defect from the party today and give an excuse of decisionpf UPND forming a PACT with PF as their reason. Dont they know that the PACT is dead. And please its not possible when making a decision to consult every Jim and Jack. Thats why you elect people to positions of leadership so they can make decisions on your behalf. The levels of thinking and action in Zambia are really worrying.
I think that numbers 4,6,8,10,13,15,19,24,27 is the same blogger using different names – better luck next time mate, you’ve been sussed this time.
We know this gimmick, MMD and PF want to show as if they are the only parties in zambia by spreading false rumours that people have defected to their parties, because they know that UPND has so many chances of sweeping them all in the next general election. These are people paying these youths, parade them to anounce that they have defected to their parties. HH is the most important factor in this years’ election and the man is winning come rain come sunshine. These rumours are not true, these guys have just realised that HH is making head ways into their strongholds. These politicians know that if they are only two their chances of winning are so high and will try their level best to manipulate our minds so that our minds would be destructed to the real issues of voting for HH.
The young man HH is moving forward this time as evidenced from the Chilanga Bye-election where two parties MMD and PF were campaigning against him, and no media coverage, his party still scouped the seat , to shame these recycled politicians. For these recycled politicians the enermy is UPND but this time around their deceit would not manage to distroy our hopes in the young man HH. The man is a role model who was a board chairman for 21 successful companies in Zambia, meaning he is full of success wherever he touches. No manipulation this time around as, because we know that as long as these recycled politicians are their they will still be covering each other’s wrongs the way they have been doing it. Chiluba will be safe in Sata’s regime as they commited many attrocities together.
Recycled politicians, we have lost confidence in you because you are not consistent, we have not forgotten how Banda cheated us in the last election where he said he will just rule for 3 years to finish Mwanawasa’s term of office and Magande will come, but what we saw was MMD chasing Magande from the party. MMD will be punished in Western, Southern, Central, and North-western etc as many feel manipulated. Take it or leave it we are changing GRZ this time around and HH will be our president.
these youths..ninsala fye.as the saying goes,most mens decisions are usually based on the stomach…what do you expect when they are starving..and there comes the mmd with there promises to improve their lives.
#41 – Reading through Panji Kaunda’s statement, I am now more convinced than ever before that the rumors that Dr Kaunda preferred late Maj Wezi Kaunda to take over from him are true. Panji comes out extremely dull.
Reading what Panji just reaveled about HH makes it very clear how naive and st*upid HH is in the political arena. The guy is greedy and and a hardcore tribalist. Worse, he has no political calculation abilities; he simply can’t read the mood of the masses. What a loser! HH, you are a spent shell; just go back to your farm and raise your cows becoz you should know even yourself that you have nothing to offer to Zambia politically and in public service. You’re done su.cker!!
Those that remember the UDA alliance. UDA ( UNIP, FDD, UPND) was formed to unseat the MMD. when the issue of presidency came up HH decided to break away. he has done the same thing with the PACT. HH lacks the confidence to face the MMD thats why he is quick to run into alliances. Infact we should call him a recycled alliance politician. very soon he will form another alliance, just wait
#52 If you do not have information about that alliance, you better be silent and we will give you respect for that. UDA was entered into by Mazoka before he died, Nawakwi and Tilyenji, and not HH. HH came in just to implement what he found running in the party.
Leave HH out of this, if you feel you can win as PF why can’t you go it alone as you have been claiming that you do not need UPND. HH has called it off because you threw so much mud on him, and called him all sorts of names e.g under five tribalists hence his supporters told him to leave.
# 53 HH continued with the alliance 6 months after Mazoka died. If he was not in favour of the idea he could have discarded it earlier the same way he did it in september of 2006.This simply means he was in favour of the alliance. The same way he was for the PACT.
500 youths gathered at a filling station. does that mean the filling station was closed.
People lets face facts. Stop living in denial. HH is not a leader. See how many people have left UPND compared to those that have joined since he took over. Look at the sudden decline of votes
from that of Mazoka. Its also undenieble fact that the guy ascended to that position through tribalism. I was there at Mulungushi. Its time for those who have passion for UPND to make this guy step down or the party will remain history. Its now or never. Do or die
50 Adviser
I agree with you, Panji is mentally twisted and I hope HH will not respond to him. The man is bitter and has a tribal twisted mind. I now understand why our brothers in Western province want to form their own state. How can you have people who think like that in this modern day and era? Has Mmembe sank soo low as to divide this beautiful country on tribal lines just to push his agenda for Sata to be president? Panji, you are playing a dangerous game. If you think you are helping Sata, think twice!!! What you are telling us is that unless you are an Easterner or Northerner you can not be president of Zambia. We are watching you and we will sort you and your Sata at the polls. We the neutral Zambians will decide who will be president!!!
#9 political think tank, a u thnk tank or a thnk tin coz u sound so brain washed by hh dreams that he has an economic plan for zambia. Mare words of mouth amount to nothing when reality sets in. When hh and ftj sold companies, what economic plan did he ve apart from throwin our suffering people into more miseries. Stop dreamin; hh cant do anything if u hate sata better support magande.
in 2001 UPND was the leading opposition party, but today PF is. this should say something about the leadership. PF was a small party but it has come out second
I stay in monze. what has been reported is a lie. The former DC mr Machila wants favour from the MMD. They organized bout 40 peaple and hired some policemen from Mazabuka because they thought UPND members would disturb them. Thanks to the people of Monze who just looked at the and laughed as they dispersed. This propaganda is good for the UPND because some people will be shocked.
Muyangana i urge you to read the daily mail and see how UPND spokes man Kakoma has responded to colonel panji.You will now know that HH is an alliance specialist.# 58 MMembe is just an editor i dont know why you crucify him. The same in reverse is done by editors of ZNBC, Daily mail etc yet no one crucifies them. Chanda Chimba is evr shamelessly attacking his fellow journalist yet not even the journalist body has teeth to discipline him
#62 Lekeni Sata Ateke
Mmembe is not just an editor, he a bitter, selfish person (with witchcraft mentality) who has a long standing vendatta against Chiluba. Mmembe wants to finish off RB because of his assocition with FTJ and he has realised that Sata and his PF can not manage to grab the presidency on their own so he has gone on a rampage to finish of HH/UPND as a way of helping Sata win. He is ready to drag the whole nation down using his henchmen like Panji, Mpompo, Inonge Wina etc to achieve his goals even if it means putting a mad man into power or divide the nation on tribal lines. The man is extremely selfish. Zambians will not allow this to happen! We are watching his every move and we will sort him out.
HH CAN NOT BE PRESIDENT
Some well informed sources have revealed that the UPND current president, Hakainde Hichilema, can not contest the presidency at their forthcoming party convention, having previously lost two elections. This is in accordance with the UPND constitution.The named source claims that HH may only be alowed to contest after 2012. Efforts to contact the UPND secretariate for confirmation proved futile as no one responded to the many phone calls.
What I like about this “Five Hundred youths in Monze District in Southern Province have defected from the opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) party to join the Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD)” nonsense is that it has kept UPND and UPND president, Mr 2011, in the news.
It has now turned out that PF and MMD are now hallucinating about the mighty UPND which is set to form GRZ Administration this 2011.
Whether MMD and/or PF likes it or not, the mighty UPND under the credible leadership of the patriot HH will do its level best to prevent the serpent Sata MC of PF from becoming Zambian President. The UPND will make sure that it forms a part of GRZ Administration by winning the 2011 elections in certain key parts of Zambia.
Be blest all.

Matt…
#63 you are describing chanda chimba, who is using state machinery to destroy Sata. Mmembe has limited capacity as compared to chanda chimba. by the way its the same Mmembe who helped MMD into power in 1991 with the weekly post. so today he is a which because he does not support MMD
#63 sour grapes, this is the people’s will, leave Mmembe and the post out of it, the MMD is destined to cramble this year, as for this defection story, you don’t even have to read between the lines to know it ‘s one big lie! next time who ever the author is must do a better job other wise you are stealing from your employers!
#61 Remainder
Please clarify before we throw punches at you, do you STAY or LIVE in Monze? Go back to school.
#66 Lekeni Sata Ateke
Mmembe is the PF version of Chanda Chimba but the difference is that while the later is just doing his job the former(Mmembe) has a personal score to settle. Yes, the Post helped MMD but it is the same Post that wrote the articles about Sata which Chanda Chimba is quoting!
# 69 Chanda chimba is free lancing he is not employed by ZNBC. All his articles are either on Mmmembe or Sata. He has no journalistic principles. How do you attack a fellow journalist like that. Journalists are supposed to cover each other not rip each other apart.Chanda chimba is the one expressing hatred for Mmembe and Sata. How do you run an hour’s program just bashing two persons.
#70
Mmembe is just tasting his own medicine. There is no need to feel sorry for him. He is the worst journalist when it comes to framing others and distorting facts. What do you have to say about him continuous expressing hatred towards RB and HH? Is this not the case of a kettle calling a pot black? At least Chanda Chimba is basing his program on facts. OK he is freelance but he has the right to earn money from bashing others just like Mmembe does.
Then Mr Hakainde said, ‘Yes, I will give you Kapita but then I will resign and when I resign UPND is gone. I am UPND; UPND is me. Even if you come with AK 47s, I will be the last Tonga standing here. I know I am going to stand; I know I am going to lose. But I will make sure Sata does not win.’
“That is how the meeting ended. So we left.(post online)

I agree with you Kapotwe #12. The young man does not have a vuvuzela like RB’s Daily Mail, Times, ZNBC and Sata’s Post. I do not understand why people should be calling for HH to be Vice-Prez. I remember in 2008, Bill Clinton tried to dupe Obama into being Hilary Clinton’s running mate instead of running against her. He refused, and today he is the first black person to not only be Prez of USA but also to be nominated by his party to run for the highest office.
Lekeni cycle mata ateke # 41. The post has lost credibility thats why most sensible Zambians have turned to other media for info. Even the least educated knows that RB has ZNBC, ZANIS, Daily Mail, Times vuvuzela and cycle mata has the Post. So all these media houses have no credibility. Limbi gawachilandako BBC, CNN ifyapala ifi.

Speaking from monze there were handful of kaponyas organised by mundale the owner of tooters unless they were counting even the onlooker because those we were in number as we were standing by finance bank which is opposed kobil
Quite a number of my fellow UPND members have provided interesting comments particularly asking why pullout of the PACT. I empathize with all of u colleagues who are desperate for meaningful economic development (job creation, promoting production through industry, collection of the right amount of tax from mines, etc). All I want to say to you is that UPND does not only want to remove MMD from power for the sake of it, but to remove MMD to provide better governance and economic development. Without a clear vision of how to do this, the country may recede in giants steps. To fail to plan is to plan for failure, and that us what UPND is saying NO to. It’ll be better to lose with UPND than win with visionless PF. In any case, UPND has grown tremendously now and the results will be interstin
**==
can one media more esspecially MMD ZNBC to report how many people have left there boss MMD and joined PF. we know them.be fare when reporting. belamishita kwati mataba
this is total dreaming Machila..hehehehe..time will tell..
#55 UPND is a democratic party and not a one man’s show like the way you do in pf where everything starts and ends with Sata. That agreement was already made and all members were already commited to the alliance though things could not work out. UPND are not confused people like pf who do not change things, UPND guys show commitment in whatever they do, even their MPs have no record of defections for greener pastures even though the party has been in opposition for ten years now. UPND has principled men who are not moved by the wind, they have values and integrity to protect.
#81
”Am UPND and UPND is me, you can have Kakoma i will resign and that would be the end of the UPND” says HH.
PROPAGANDA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#6 upnd member, I don’t mean to disrepect you. SATA wrote in simple and understandale clear to HH that SATA WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH UPND.It is being a destitute at mind and reasoning to sacrifice your principal or anyother person to just think along the lines of putting HH OR SATA in state house at your expense and Zambians.Let us not reduce to reduce ourselves to dogs where it is forsaken it keeps coming back because it only survives on its masters mercy. HH and UPND supporters don’t have SATA/PF as their master.
#62, If you have stopped glorifying God for MMEMBE please dont drug innocent Zambians into HATE AND DIVISIVE JOURNALISM OF POST/MMEMBE.
KK,SIKOTA WINA,VJ,CHILUBA,HH AND SATA who has suddenly become a fovourite to POST was and still hated by some Zambians because of hate journalism of MMEMBE.
CHIMBA IS SIMPLY QUOTING THE POST/MMEMBE hate journalism.
How do you justify POST/MMEMBE not wanting to cover HH/UPND AND THOSE WHO COMMENT WELL ABOUT HH/UPND but MMEMBE/POST IS QUICK TO COVER HH/UPND ON NEGATIVE .EVEN PROPAGANDA.
#23, #26 , THERE IS NOTHING SINFUL ABOUT BEING BEMBA,TONGA, LOZI. NYANGA, LUVALE,KAONDE,LUNDA,OR ANY OTHER TRIBE. WHAT IS SINFUL IS YOUR TYPE OF THINKING ABOUT BEING OF A CERTAIN TRIBE. HAVE HAVE GOT TO STATE THAT “SHILIMUBEMBA”. YOU DON’T NEED TO BE APOLOGETIC ABOUT YOUR TRIBE UNLESS YOU ARE THE TRIBALISM CARRIERS.
UPND give us the development programmes!
You U5 when you defect to PF both you and MMD deny
Hie Guys, in an election year, one needs to be strategic and make money from all parties. Just stand up and declare that i have resigned from this and that party, you are given enough for Chibuku. Whatelse? Ask Cosmo Mumba (Has he receovered or not by the way?I Lukuku and this dull man—Siulapwa. They know how to eat from the politicians. The highest bidder gets the voice. Sad
so as a youth looking at all this jibber jabber i resolve not to vote, headache avoided!
