Zambians will regret if they vote for opposition – Ronnie

Share

Chief government spokesperson Lt Gen Ronnie Shikapwasha

Chief Government Spokesperson Ronnie Shikapwasha says Zambia will regret for generations to come if the opposition will be voted in to power.
Lieutenant General Shikapwasha said by voting for the opposition Zambia as a nation will regret as all the development achievements by the MMD government will stand to reversed.

He told ZANIS in an interview in Lusaka, today, that what Zambians need to know was that the opposition political parties have no tangible development agenda for the country.

He said that the electorate should ensure that it votes for the ruling Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) for another five year term.

” The MMD government under the leadership of President Rupiah Banda wants to continue with its development being implemented across the country, ” Lt. Gen Shikapwasha said.

He also pointed out that under the leadership of President Banda the country’s economy has continued to grow from strength to strength.

The Chief Government Spokesperson who is also Information and Broadcasting Service Minister said if the opposition is voted into office the development taking place would stall countrywide.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant General Shikapwasha said the ruling MMD supports the peace which is prevailing countrywide.

He pointed out that the MMD government understands and knows that peace would continue to remain very important to the economic development of the country.

In another development, the government spokesperson stated that all the opposition Patriotic Front (PF) led councils have failed run effectively. Lt. Gen Shikapwasha added that it was high time that the PF came to terms and agree it has failed to run all councils it leads in the country.

Among the PF led councils are nearly all municipal and city councils on the Copperbelt and the Lusaka City councils, among others. The Lusaka City Council is currently on suspension due to the land scum involving most PF councilors who are being investigated.

  1. But your govt has removed the abuse of office from the law, to us this prepares every one in the govt to steal from the poor with impunity, we have all seen how the president embraced corruption; this is what zambians donot want to continue we want to try somebody else

  2. We’ve been regretting voting for the MMD from 1st November 1991, Sir. We want to try another bunch of a**eholes. We are tired of same s.h.i.t from you.

  3. as if we are not regretting having mmd in power. the only regret we will have is that chiluba wont be around to face the music for stealing our money.

  4. What is this bozo talking about? Zambians have been regretting for putting thieves and plunderers into power for many years. He confessed begging for a bag of corn meal, and just because he is now on the other side of plunderers, he thinks everything is okay in Zambia. Ronnie, stop being a ass -kisser for once, trying thinking.  

  5. Ba Kasesema, you are just saying that you will regret losing your job. Do you really wanna continue raping the country and its citizens? I think a different devil is better than the angel that we have seen in your government. Cino ciindi mudala ku zwa biya!

  6. them why say u are a democratic party when u dont want pipo to vote for the party they want.dont be selfish,other pipo can do beta than u so we can regret.sorry mr

  7. then why say u are a democratic party when u dont want pipo to vote for the party they want.dont be selfish,other pipo can do beta than u so we cant regret.sorry mr

  8. Coming from the people who shot down a motion to keep track of labour and employment statistics because it would ’embarrass Govt’, this is laughable

  9. WE are already regretting for having voted FJT and MMD who employed Ronald Shikapwasha as ZAF commander, who gave FAZ the plane that killed our soccer cream of coaches, players and administrators. How about that, we don’t mind regretting yet again///////////////////

  10. Good evening

    Such presumptious statements make people suspect unquenchable greed and lust for power. Mr. Shikapwasha sir, please let the electorates decide for themselves who they will vote for. It is called Democracy.

    On one hand, you claim that the economy has continued to grow from strength to strength and yet on the other, you’re quick to make the poor citizens pay up for a state funeral.

    People should not be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of their people.

  11. how do you judge oppositons who have naver had opportunity llaed the nation to judge them remember you were once opposition and unip use to think like you and you were laughing at them. i think with pace of corruption we are gonig we will regret giving another five years to mmd. chiluba is dead so is mmd is gone with him

  12. we are not children Mr Big Nose. I wonder who gave you that Title of General Shikapwasha>……wish you were living in Mazyopa near chipata.

  13. Bachimona imwe,it is hunger you are worried about! Have you forgotten how you were begging ba Sata for ubunga?We know you want to steal as much as you can.MMD has been a disappointment and its time you packed your bags and go kumushi.

  14. Attacking PF or finding faults in Sata will not help MMD now it’s too late. There is only one chance remaining to revive MMD, Change the presidential candidate to either Mutati or other credible person, otherwise forget about winning elections. If we burry our heads that RB is popular we will regret.

    • i totally agree with 19.Put in Mutati ill change my mind and vote for you.Otherwise my current sitution is that Pf is getting my vote.

  15. Can you please stop threatening people from voting for someone of their choice.Is that your campaign message.You have nothing better to offer us.Shame on you.Cow fella

  16. The biggest question is, what is there not to regret in the MMD/RB government? Seems like MMD and gang are now scared of the crimes they have committed to the Zambian people.

  17. Be truthful and say that you will regret when we arrest you and put you in jail to rot. Your lips will dry even further and you big mouth will be turned into toilet

  18. No one will regret Mr minister.we are tired of your Government.can we kindly try somebody else?We have already regreted have you in power.

  19. PF take some responsibility as well you have failed to run councils. On running of councils you are as bad as MMD, if not worse because you are already misbehaving even before you get into power. Anyway you won’t get into power, and if you are not careful most of the councils you have failed to run will be grabbed from you next year. Pull up your socks, man. Don’t let us down. Some of us are not political party supporters, but we wish the opposition success!!!

  20. MMD has had its lows; but it has also had its highs. Three MMD presidents after the one-party participatory democracy and the nation has been on an upward trajectory. That is something to sing about! That is a legacy to look back to many years to come. What we should look out for is: What alternative ideas are out there. If we change a government for mere change, or out of personal spite, or indeed PHD we will indeed regret! That is prophecy..

    • I personally i can’t boast about corrupt legacy.U shud be proud of only 1 presido LPM coz his legacy will still remain.

  21. The masses have had enough. According to independent polls mmd will not be in power this time next year. Ba chilamo…… Lets vote them out this time round it was a close call last time, people have realised and woken up. 

  22. It’s overwhelming reading these blogs. Looks like the majority of decent Zambians want change. 

  23. Prophet of doom, if people behaved like that in 1990,Zambia should have been under UNIP. Start preparing your bags coz MMD exit is definite this year. Zambia will regret if MMD continue in power after the elections. Just within 2yrs, RB has authorized stealing so long as you are in government,RB has legalized killing by the cadres and police,MMD cadres have taken over markets and bus stations,MMD has denied Zambians a people-driven constitution for 20yrs.Prophet nakapwasha, what the ****er are you taking about?

  24. This man should start preparing his exit speech. I think that Zambians have had enough of these antics from the ruling party. The people have decided and you Mr. Shikapwasha, will know your fate at election time. That is if H.E.R.B. ever decides to announce the election date.

  25. Chiluba is not yet buried yet, and still in the period of national mourning, you are already campaigning. Yet, MMD was busy condemning PF for holding a rally in Lukulu the day Chluba died… HYPOCRITES.

    We are greatly regreting having you in Government. What development have you done in 20years compared to what Kaunda did?

    Truly, dogs have come to Zambia, and it’s time to exterminate them, as anti-rabies vaccine is never gonna work.

    MMD! Zwaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. Ronnie you’ll be back to begging at filling stations this time next year…stolen money doesn’t last chikala…money you’ve really worked for, is one that brings you true wealth…look at ka Chiluba if you hid those funds in a Swiss a/c those white chaps will NEVER release it and will be more than  happily let it sit in there accumulating interest for them like Mubuto’s millions forever!lol! 

  27. Shikapwasha are you telling us that zambians made a mistsake to vote out unip in 1991? Mmd’s time is up the party has outlived its usefulness. Just get ready to pack and go, hope this time you will not be begging for money to buy mealie meal.

  28. Iwe chi chikala Ronnie you arsehole, you think we are stupid …this chap was a General ka unbelievable; I doubt it if he can lead boy scouts…please take back those titles; he is an embarrassed to the service!!

  29. Shikapwasha you are totally finished-resign b4 things books of plunder are opened. MMD is gone and your ZNBC propaganda is just igniting anger in people and we can assure that your boy Cifine(Cifire) campaigning this time of mourning will regret coz will squeeze his finished pocket such that it will stick to the HIV body!

  30. WE ZAMBIANS WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR YOU FOR SURE. WE ARE ALL GOING TO VOTE FOR THE OPPOSITION FOR SURE MOST PROBABLALY THE PF. AS WE HAVE MADE UP OUR MIND FOR THE CHANGE. ENJOY YOUR LAST DAYS ..

  31. It’s not for Shikapwasha to tell us that we will regret. We will try and see for ourselves!!!! Viva PA BWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

  32. well, whatever you want to say about mmd please do, but pleaseee twapapata on our knees, pleaseee don’t tell us that mr sata is the alternative. there is enough history to the man to scare even the most courageous man on earth, to scare even those that don’t care about the future of their children.

  33. No. 1, you’ve made me laugh cracking my ribs. Any how ba Shikapwasha, you mean we shud let MMD rule till heaven comes down? 1991 MMD was in opposition before taking to the seat with no experience yet here we are kicking. The opposition today has ideas that can too take this country to another level for all to enjoy. Lets be objective sir in observations and campaign language.

  34. Useless Shikapwasha,our decision has been made,Its Sata now.So we have nothing to regret about,but you do.Your job,you will start begging for mealie meal.I’m happy Mr Sata did not give you the mealie meal when you ask for it from because he knows you as an ass.hole.Chiluba died and so MMD died with him.Its time to  pack your bags.

  35. BIG NOSE ITS YOU WHO WILL BE REGRETIING NOT US. YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED,YOU HAVE ABOUT 90DAYS LEFT SO PLEASE BE READY WITH YOUR KATUNDUS AS YOU WILL BE LEAVEING YOUR OFFICE AND THE GOVT HOUSE THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY OCCUPYING SOON.ENOUGH IS ENOUGH BWANA

  36. Matero Member of Parliament Faustina Sinyangwe said the death of Dr Chiluba should teach Zambians to forgive each other. “If you cannot make peace with people while they are still alive, you will be haunted for the rest of your life when they die”.

  37. if there is one person whom i do not envy at this moment it is mr sata. the man must be agonising bad, and that’s not good for his heart, but then that is the agreement he has entered into with mmembe. his pf cadres do not understand the pain that he is going through, but agonising he is without doubt.

  38. with all the negative and bad information that we have available in the public domain about mr sata, it does not take a rocket scientist to see that mr sata’s supporters can only be those who are corrupt like him. and that explains the comments of his supporters on LT, they are paid to dress the massively corrupt mr sata as a sheep but we can see the skin of the wolf because the sheep cloth is not big enough to hide the big wolf under it. ba pf if you think that we are deceived, think again.

  39. THIS SO CALLED SHIKAPONO IS A TOOL FOR RB, JUST A MONEY SUCKER AND I-DIOSITY IS PART OF HIS DIET…..WISHI NA NYINA DID NOT DO ANYTHING JUST ???????????????????

  40. Why is this man so follish, does anyone know his background? What about his mental statues…I think he is sick. **==

  41. How can this fool call himself a Lieutenant General, the man has no sense of pride, just a blind loyal boot licker!!!

  42. We regret having you in power Shikapwasha  you chaps disolve the parliament we show you up. We are fade up of you MMD we common Zambians have jumped ship you can say all you want about SATA we will vote for him his like Jacob Zuma (JZ) amidist all scandles SA still voted for JZ learn from that. Now you can not even count on a village vote becoz you sucked up on them your down fall is Luapula, Western,southern, Northen, CB,LSK and Central the rest are swing so prepare to pack n go 20yrs of crap is done. B4 you go renovate prisons you’re sure going there the clock is ticking for you dealers

  43. Going through the blog, only @38 can possibly vote in this year’s election if the election was held today. The point I am making is that the rural vote shall prevail once again.

  44. Isn’t that what UNIP was saying in 1990-1991 elections, so yeah keep yapping reality will soon sink in after elections. My advise vote them out, go for PF even if its just to bring in change, chances are Sata may not serve the full 10 years so there is bound to be a presidential change along the way, if not a regime change as well … good for democracy.

  45. Pinochio says – He also pointed out that under the leadership of President Banda the country’s economy has continued to grow from strength to strength.

    AS THERE IS NO JOBLESS RATES KNOWN IN THIS WORLD FOR ZAMBIA HOW CAN THEY SAY THEY HAVE AN INCREASING ECONOMY? JOB RATES ARE WHAT CREATES INFORMATION ON ECONOMY GROWTH UNLESS NO JOBS ARE CREATED

  46. MMD THINK WE ARE STUPID, WE ARE STUPID FOR VOTING MMD …ZAMBIANS LETS WAKE UP AND SEEK CHANGE, VOTEE PF …. DONTT KUBEBA

  47. Hon. Shikapwasha, surely the situation cannot get worse than it is, can it? In any case, political parties need to know that if they do not deliver, then they will be shown the door. Simple as that. This is the only way to get you people to do the right thing, since it appears when you get into those offices, you stop listening to the voice of the people. We should not settle for the mediocrity we are experiencing at the moment. Epo mpelele!

  48. Ba Ronnie for your own information we regret more for voting for you F .O .O .L.S you have no rights to tell us who we should vote for we are tired of your corruption, stealing, killing people your days are numbered

  49. Zambians will do themselves a big favour by voting for the opposition this year. Otherwise the MMD corruption and arrogance will be worse. Twenty years is more than enough for one political party to be in power. No one can fight change. Change is necessary hence the reason why countries such as the USA, UK, and France are developed. New people come with new ideas unlike in Zambia where we keep the same useless and selfish bald heads for twenty years.

  50. no one will regret just you VUVU RON and your MMD will.MMD has been in power for far to long 20 years we have gone back to UNIP days.So don’t threaten electrotes mr VUVU RON.

  51. SOLI (SORRY) BA GENERAL, TWAKANA!!!!……WE’RE ALREADY DECIDED, MMD NI ZWAAAAAAAAA THIS YEAR.. …..TRY US AGAIN AFTER 10 YEARS, FOR NOW WE ARE ESCORTING SATA TO PLOT ONE, FULL STOP!!…MWASENSELA ILYO KAWA……

  52. Zambia is not MMD Mr. Ronnie. Just because MMD and William Banda especially will be regretting does not mean Zambia will. Remember, RB got 31% of last votes so which Zambia are you talking about? They keep voting for the opposition and keep regretting MMD goes through, somehow.

  53. Shikapwasha Sir, I want a bag of mealie meal. I will come to your office for it. Forgate about what SATA did to you when you asked for a 25kg from him. By the way have you visited SATA at the hospital or his home. I saw him this morning, aliko bad ka

  54. Is that how you campaign now MMD? It reminds me of 1991, “If you vote for the opposition it will be civil war”. You will fail like Super Ken also failed, no ideas except scare stories and threats from William Banda ka mbeba muncher

  55. Ronnie, forget. MMD is lost the elections already no matter what! RB has packed most of his katundu. Baba General Shikapwasha, its time up and prepare your handover notes now since there is no transition period in our constitutions because of the MMD’s failure to come up a democratic constitution for 20 years now! Vote the BOAT, Vote SATA.

  56. Sad and worried about the future of Zambia. Only Levi tried his best. We always talk about recycled and spent politicians why? The same guys have cheated, stolen and left us in abject poverty. Where to Zambia? Let us try Sata and see if his name in bemba *uku sata* is a true meaning. We tried Chiluba * ukuluba* we were lost. Hey watch out with names.
