Chongwe Member of Parliament Sylvia Masebo has promised not to abandon the people of Chongwe district.

Ms Masebo who is former Local Government and Housing Minister in late President Levy Mwanawasa’s regime has vowed to defend her seat in the forthcoming tripartite elections.

The Parliamentarian who was recently suspended as MMD national chairperson for women affairs has however not disclosed on which party ticket she will recontest her seat.

Ms Masebo did not apply to stand on the MMD ticket thereby sparking speculations that she is planning to join the opposition Patriotic Front.

Meanwhile, former MMD Chongwe District chairperson Henry Musonda says the people of Chongwe have resolved to rally behind Patriotic Front leader Michael Sata in this year’s elections.

Speaking an interview with Qfm, Mr. Musonda who recently defected to the PF says it is surprising that a number of bonafide members of the ruling party have been sidelined on the pretext of not being in good standing with party.

He has further charged that the MMD is yet to experience a rude as dozens of its members in Chongwe will soon join the Patriotic Front.

  4. This year Masebo that magic power you have between your two thin legs will not work for you.You are indeed a political prostitute.The Post shinda pepa as you know won’t be of help to ,come down to mother earth.Be careful we might just reopen the corruption cases against you.We deserve an explanation on those manda mandas etc.Watch this space.You have gone too far with your thin legs.

    • u have dipped between those thin legs all these years and you also knew the corruption of those thin legs, what has changed! Ami nyengani kuyipa lelo?

    • I am deeply disappointed with the way you approach your discussion on this blog. Before i ask i wont be wrong to speculate that you are MMD. no wonder Mr sata cant visit your funeral for FTJ’s.

    • Those years she was opening those thin legs for you it was ok.now that she has closed them on you and start yapping.you are just a fraustrated MMD

    • Today you hate the magic area that you were so proud of not a very long time ago.Ha ha ha mwa nya she will open them in donchi kubeba style.

    • But this is really sinking low. At one point you mentioned that you are an elderly man, now this? Really you are a chihuahua. Insulting women does not only show how sad a person is, but also how uncultured and low class that person is. We have all these time thought and heard how you MMD cadres have been violent, but it seems you have now gotten into public verbal violence to women and those that do not support your low class thinking and lawlessness. Sorry, bwana, you just insulted your mother, sisters, wife and your daughters (if you can afford to have them).

  6. wapya Munzhi already one down for MMD they cannot beat Masebo in chongwe come what may. Chiengi is already gone mushipe. Ku mawa one or two will fall to the mighty PF.

  7. MMD did not want Sylvia masebo. So why are the MMD chaps condemning her. They had a plan to hound her out. She has done you a favour by refusing to be used by MMD nd about to leave MMD. Then you start insulting her when we expect the MMD to be mourning?

  8. No.2 Yaya how old are you I wonder if you were born out of a woman. Insults will not scare brave Masebo from defending her Chongwe seat. Its a pity some chaps like you have no respect and little undestanding of democracy. While reopen the corruption cases on manda mandas. A minister does not handle transactions coz he or she is not a controlling officer. If Masebo feels that she is not wanted by others in MMD NEC she has a right to defect to PF or UPND and stand in Chongwe District as an MP. From what is obtaining on the ground the people of Chongwe wont vote for MMD. Lets debate and not resotrting to insults. Whats the difference between you and a thug like William Banda. God should deliver you from a foul mouth and evil. Her small legs as u call dont matter but brain power matters most.

  10. I am not on the ground but i feel that Masebo would work better with either HH or someone else and not with the PF.
    Just my assumption,but wish you well Sis as the people of Chongwe have the last say.

  12. Masebo will work well with People that are WINNING this year’s election, the men of action, the PF and Sata

  13. #8 With due respect to HH’z corporate World massive experience, he can’t match Sata’z political prowess az a tested leader at various levelz. Besides, a performer that Masebo iz, can work with anybody. Whatever issuez you may have with the PFshould not come in at this point.

  14. On a foo’l and slow thinking ***** will still want to be in the MMD. All right thinking individuals are leaving this shinking ship. Best you all join the incoming party and government. President Sata and the PF is the president and Party to join

  16. MASEBO, DON’T WASTE YOUR POTENTIAL SUPPORTING SMALL PARTIES WITH NO DIRECTION!!……JOIN THE WINNING TEAM……THE CHI BWATO IS WAITING FOR YOU……YOU HAVE TO RECLAIM YOUR MINISTERIAL POSITION…..AND AS A CLEAVER AND INTELLIGENT LADY, WE KNOW WHICH WAY YOU’RE GOING……….SEEING THAT YOU ARE CLOSE TO EDITH NAWAKWI, PLEASE TALK TO HER NICELY SO THAT SHE CAN AS WELL COME ALONG…….PAAAABBBBBBBBWWWWWWWAAAAAATTTTTTOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. Its time Zambians became serious with moving the country forward. Constituencies are not a monarch. Unless Masebo has spearheaded alot of development in Chongwe since the time she became MP it is time someone else was voted to the seat. It can be an independent, MMD, PF, or UPND but just someone else please. We cry for development yet we don’t have the slightest guts to make decisions to foster development. We worship people and what do they do for us nothing no development. All we do is help them win their egoist battles.

  18. Well Masebo wants a ministerial position because she thinks its her right….so all the best you might win Chongwe but I doubt you can defeat the Upnd there and then you will only be MP for another 5 years when you will be 53……

  19. Kansundila Bwezani Banda did not want her at all after she pitched for Magande for president. Now, she saves him from heart ache and declines to run under MMD and again hell breaks lose on the girl. Please ba MMD, make up your mind, just what the hell do you want from the girl?

  20. What is Masebo’s one seat comparing with 24 seats in Luapula for PF? Have you seen how myopic you PF cadre are? MMD is MMD .

  21. The only party fo Masebo to work wth is UPND ed i believe she is stil young she not a magogo tht s way it has been difficult to work wth de MMD becouse these old Politicians they have useless type of leadership ed we ar tired of hearing this shit MAGOGOS you ar too OLD 74 yrs ed above kuyabebele this yr you need to retire all of you shit how selfish ar you from UNIP ed yet nothing tht we can see tht you did.we need a young man who ever but a young one not MADALAS go to yo farms if you have.

  22. I would like to thank everyone who has been contributing on this blog, you are brave enough. On masebo, she is a women and a half. Good decisions at the right time she makes, that’s why timing in life is very important.

  23. If indeed Masebo will join PF , I will be very suprised. Why, because Masebo and Sata were publicly sharing insults when Masebo was Local Government Minister. If you joins Magande , tat would make sense to me.

    Lets wait & see

  24. Masebo dnt try boet unless if u kno how to swim the boat s sinking fo gud this yr,de man s too old ed he cn not manage to control the craked boat we need new leadership

  25. Very surprised some people still talk about HH and UPND. What we all know is that it as dead ad MMD period. Viva Sata, Zambia is watching your good behavior as usual.

  27. #4, Stop insulting your mother! That (the power) which is between her legs is there on all women. How do you think you came into being? Foolish person!

  28. ”Meanwhile, former MMD Chongwe District chairperson Henry Musonda says the people of Chongwe have resolved to rally behind Patriotic Front leader Michael Sata in this year’s elections”.

    Question is, was a poll conducted in chongwe to determine this decision of rallying behind cobra?if not, then ba Henry Mwamba muleke ifyamba uko ku chongwe.

  31. Wait a minute, Zambianwatchdog reported the other day that the Headmen in Chongwe were supporting UPND, not PF.

  32. I would rather Masebo gives a seat to his coleague Mr Magande by standing on Magande’s party ticket.

  33. you know MASEBO MALUPENGA SCREWED YOU SO MANY TIMES AND ALSO KABIMBA SCREWED ,,OR FUKED YOU ALOT,,,SO YOU HAVE BOTH RED LIBBS

  34. IWE CHI KUNDA MAMBOO WABA AMOTOLE WHY INSULTING AN EALDERLY PERSON. WABA UMUSULA NGA KOLWE. I THINK YOU WERE BORN IN A PUBLIC TOILET. KOLWE

  35. Chongwe will be a tricky seat this year.UPND has gained momentum.There will be a big split between UPND and Masewo’s PF leaving MMD smiling all the way to Manda Hill.Like this news or not it is your choice.The gods of our land have spoken.

  36. Why can`t the former MMD Chongwe District chairperson Henry musonda speak for himself that he will support PF? Why say we when he is alone. Is he the spkesperson for the pipo of Chongwe?. PF be careful with these las minute defector. They are not honest but want jobs.

  37. Time will catch up with her. Who doesnt know that she clung to MMD just as a spy for the post. Whether MMD retains seat or looses is not important as long as you dont have a mole within you., Period! and once a mole always a mole. This very person started as MMD and when she lost the bye election to Dipak who stood as FDD, she got frustrated and joined BY nashalaneka and struggled to grub Chongwe. Before long she accepted to be potched by Levy for pieces of silver a thing she has continued and now dumps MMD for unknown(obviously sata’s Pf). I wonder this is the person she called childish wen she was Local Govt. minister….wonders shall never end!!!!!

  38. Is she joining the serpant.? Is she going to win? is she…?is she…….is? she…….? more questins than answers

  39. Those who are on the ground in Chongwe will tell you that Masebo can’t scoop it in Chongwe on PF ticket.

  40. PF cadres know that Masebo is no longer as popular as you suggest.MMD will still get the Chongwe Seat as they are in almost every village in that district improving the living standards of the people. Masebo knows this fact. Chongwe is among the few districts where you can do your hair cut using solar energy operated machine.

  41. Its her right to stand on a party of her choice, be it Permanent Fools or whatever.
    For your own information, UPND is winning in Southern, Western, N/W and Central. They will get a handsome share in Lusaka and C/B, while PF is winning in Luapula, Northern and C/B. Lusaka and Northern votes will be shared in such a way that margins will be very small between PF and MMD in Northern and all the three in Lusaka. MMD are only winning in Eastern, watch the space!!

  42. Yeela mina sicaba! We want real change this year. At the rate these old folks are kicking the bucket, we need to start looking at young leaders. VIVA HH!! VIVA MILUPI!! VIVA CHIPIMO JNR!! VIVA SIKOTA!! VIVA NAWAKWI!! ABASH OLD MADALAS!!

  43. Hi, just came across the cite and thought of contributing. It would be damn gud to have a that young guy as president. The old had their time which is gone. The young guy is intelligent, educated, and an acomplished executive. He has been running his affairs very well. If it was in my country USA, he would win. What is wrong with you people in ZIMBIA?

  44. Hey, Ive lived in Zambia before and I know your country damn well. If you people wana have a good leader, that young guy Akaindeh is the guy. Thanks!

  46. Sour grapes from Choma party lumpens, its not our fault that no credible and decent Zambians join UPND these days. Rumours are that Prof Chirwa is also considering jumping off. The wheels have started coming off Choma cikotikala we are yet to see total disintegration of this small tribal grouping in a few weeks coming, watch this space they’Lo be consigned to the Choma caves very soon. They overtalk themselves a bit too much sometimes.

  48. #38 say it again madalas kuyabebele luk at their faces they lik monkeyz cn they sit next Cameron or Obama i dnt think so.Tel sata to go to school first we shall vot fo him mey be.old folks get out.

  49. #42 you have no idea what is going on. Get your fact correct. UPND has taken over Levy’s rural votes plus some constituences in Lsk. This is the last election your Satan is contesting, AND HE WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT for reasons beyond your understanding. Thats why he is stranded now, wanting to revive the pact which he deliberately killed. I dont know why you guys fail to analyse issues. There is a problem with Sata, he has been bedriden in the past two weeks.

  50. My Bemba brothers please mind your language. These Southerners you are insulting are your inlaws and fathers to your nephews and nicies. We love them. HH is ok while Ba shikulu is tired and need to rest.Why do you want to sent him to an early grave?

  52. Sylvia Murambiwa Tembo Masebo, you are still dribbling as you used to at UNZA, i remember how you used to dribble getting B+, A and A+ which you didn’t study for with one Prof .

  53. # 42 KEEP ON DREAMING EVEN THO U CNT SEE PLIZ SATA HOW OLD IS HE ED HOW MANY YRS DO U WNT HIM TO RULE U?.THT MAGOGO IS TIRED DEA THIS YR FORGET WE SHALL NOT BOTHER MAY B URSELF.AS FO THT SIDE CHOMA IT S BETTER U KEEP QUIET U WIL HEAR DE YOUNG MAN HUMMERING 30,000 ED YO MADALA 22 AND I THNK YOU MAY DNT KNO WHAT U AR SAYING SORRY,THESE S A YR FOR YOUNG PIPO LIK U ONLY UNLESS U AR 78 YRS OLD.

  54. All the Madalas, we are retiring you this year. You are going to your farms. Too bad if any of you has no farm.Thats why you will be mourned from hotels, atase!

  55. @#34, walikwata data. the way she easily sells her big hole is the same way she sells her political morals.

  56. All the best Masebo in your future endeavors. MMD will still win this year. It will matter less whether MMD loses Chongwe Constituency because of your dids or not. Spying is dangerous and thank to the MMD Leadership for their observation. Some of us in UPND, we will vote for MMD so that HH can continue with developmental projects in 2016.

  57. I don’t believe that parliamentary seats should now become personal-to-holder. Look at Chongwe and Chiengi seats. Anyone capable to take development to these areas should be allowed to stand. What proof do we have that those who served before can do it better this time around? I am sick and tired of politics of poverty! Yaak!

  58. Abash old school madalaz we dnt want u we ar tired of u viva HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  59. NDUNGUWANDUNGU: Which rural vote? In any case if UPND is taking over rural vote it is at the expense of MMD which is good for PF. Forget about Lusaka you will be lucky to hold on to the vote you got in 2008.

  62. MASEBO DONT HEAR FROM PIPO THE CHOICE IS YOURS, MIND YOU THE DEVIL U KNOW IS BETTER THAN THE ANGEL YOU DONT KNOW. PF IS NOT GOING 2 WIN THIS YEARS ELECTIONS I CAN ASSURE YOU

  63. #14 dont give us an impression that the PF is for right thinking people when it is actually for the wrong chaps. Rethink your position and see beyond your nose. UPND is far too good than PF in all aspects. Kutumpa uko ulelanda waumfwa!!!!!!!!

  64. I have no idea who should rule Zambia next. I want to trust you guys on the ground but judging from this blog,you are divided. What qualities are we looking for this time around. It was not pleasant to read the background on Dr Chiluba. Can’t we come up with some good material pls.These guys should start live TV debates now so we can make up our minds. Let us have there education qualifications and life achievements known before we vote. I don’t want to hear on funerals that we were actually ruled by a call boy etc. 

  65. Oh Sylvia, give us a break! You have no shred of credibility since it’s public knowledge that you’ve been sucking Amos Malupenga’s small dick! Why did you go for the MMD convention when you were PF all along? Hule, we’ll teach you a lesson and not even Amos will be there to help…

  67. RB is really pleased by her move as he did not want to recycle her in the first place, good luck PF with that con lady. Even FTJ was incapable of dominating her without ukumulya, that was his last ditch move. I hope Mr Sata will build enough strenght to give her convincing ones.

  68. # 4, Yaya. But this is really sinking low. At one point you mentioned that you are an elderly man, now this? Really you are a chihuahua. Insulting women does not only show how sad a person is, but also how uncultured and low class that person is. We have all this time thought and heard how you MMD cadres have been violent, but it seems you have now gotten into public verbal violence to women and those that do not support your low class thinking and lawlessness. Sorry, bwana, you just insulted your mother, sisters, wife and your daughters (if you can afford to have them).

  69. #53 Lady Gaga you a liar. Wena Sata ugugile phela. What do want from such rags? Is it out of tribal inclination that one should support finished recycled politicians. Let them rest and create employment for their tribesmen because i know people like him even if he was an employer would not employ anyone else apart from people like Lady gaga.

  70. to stand on pf ticket? end of political career ms masebo, good bye from the zambian political scene!

  71. No 10…shame on you…Masebo and Sata go a long way….know your facts before uttering things..HH is a just a baby in diapers…

  72. So ba Yaya #4. You mean ur mother doesnt have what Sylvia has. Nishi banoko baume? Stop insulting women!@!!!

  74. Go Girl Go!! Go Girl Go!!! Show them some real girl power!! Not babygirl power which continues earning Min of Education pay long after inhabiting Plot 1 !!!

  75. What tribe is Henry Musonda? He is supporting PF… Wrong for Chongwe. What language(s) is dominant in Chongwe? I am just saying…

  76. One major issue i would like to remember FJT is the standardization of our local currency, previously our Kwacha used to bear the portrait of KK, since Chiluba came into power he stopped this. Imagine how many transformation our Kwacha could have went through without his wisdom, Chiluba;s Head, Mwanawasa’s, RB’s, and who else????????????????????????????

  77. Leave Masebo alone. It’s her democratic right to belong to any party of her choice, or indeed she can even form her own party ( I can vehemently join her! ).
    Let me ask: Ba Zed, why is it that when others defect from the opposition to the ruling party, there is a lot of celebrations, even congesting the government-owned media institutions with adverts… but not the other way round? Can someone answer me please?

  80. PF 4LIFE’ NO ONE WIL TAKE OR WIN ELECTIONS IN CHONGWE APART FROM SATA 4 PRESIDENT AND MASEBO 4 MP. MMD GOOD BYE WE DON’T WAT U IN CHONGWE GO 4 GOOD SHAME ON U.MMMMMMDDD U WIL GET NO VOTE IN THE LAND OF CHIEFTAINESS NKOMESHA …
