Announcing his defection, Mr Shakafuswa has explained that he had a torrid time in the MMD under President Banda.

Meanwhile, Independent Dundumwezi Member of Parliament, Edgar Singombe and United Liberal Party (ULP) M.P, Batuke Imenda have also joined the UPND.

And welcoming the 3 M.Ps, UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema has described 2011 as a favorable year for Zambia.

  1. This guy is just a political protitute and he made it clear that he joined MMD to support his late Nepotistic Uncle LPM

  2. Zambian politicians – real opportunists! so mr shakafuswa what have done for the people of Katuba constuency – after promising them alot of developments? politicians = liars

  3. I like it when MMD fellows are resigning to join other political parties. Afterall even RB who was staunch UNIP CADRE also crossed over to MMD.

  4. Good Luck. Politics is a Good profession. Do not ever walk away from it until death do you part. It is the only profession were you don’t have to worry about your retirement age.

  5. I hear RB wants to resign from MMD and contest on UNIP ticket. He said UNIP is the only party with the best development plan. He has since apologised to UNIP and asked to be welcomed.

  6. I never thought about this critically until today. sata really needs to rest, they woudn’t had broken the pact, HH’s would have become the largest political party, talking about merging the two manifestos, would surely have become a ‘blast’!

  7. @Luba, I don’t think there is anything between your ears.Why should the most popular political leader in the country retire at this stage in politics? Just to give way to HH who can’t even lead his own party eh? Listen to what Hachipuka had to say to UPND at the adjournment sine die of parliament. Those are the words of wisdom. It is the only way to success if HH has to make in politics. Not by trying to cone Sata out of leadership. To reap where he did not sow.

  8. Let the defections begin!
    Poor Zambians,we shall have MPs  crossing over to the party which is perceived to be most popular in that region and same chaps shall bounce back in parliament.
    Until another general or by-election,new alliances will form and lack of development will be blamed on because we are in opposition or the CD Fund is too little and our salaries should be increased to enable us buy better 4/4 to reach the remotest pot holes. 

  9. Ba PF stop castigating Shakafuswa because if he had joined the PF (Kaponyas) you would
    be celebreting with your mouths wide open,now that he has shamed you stop saying what ever rabish is in your mouths.

  10. Shikasushi,is it Shikapwasha after boasting that you can jump from one prostitute to another,you have now proved yourself by jumping from one political party to another.POLITISTUTE,is your new name

  11. On “Meanwhile, Independent Dundumwezi Member of Parliament, Edgar Singombe and United Liberal Party (ULP) M.P, Batuke Imenda have also joined the UPND” it is nice that those with data have joined the real team of winners.

    I wish them all a happy time in UPND as Zambian politicians.

  12. it is no good to people RB left unip and joined mmd pipo cried
    sata left mmd formed a new party was the same
    what do you really want remember politics goes with person favourism at a particular moment. all party constitution change as well as people in it change are not like churches’ doctrine. zambia is still very young to have stable parties just wait when mmd loss will remain a comdian party because will have no money to rule it so more pipo making noise now will be no where to be heard

  13. Typical African! This mug knows his fellow planks will vote for him again.

    No offence that continent makes me sick

  14. Shakafuswa is not just a political prostitute, he is a very dull person too. Shakafuswa, Mpombo, Sondashi, Mulongoti are cut from the same dirty cloth.

  15. Well done Shakas. You are back to the fold. I wish Saki could do the same. PF should start thinking about life beyond Sata. The guy’s health is plummeting and should he win this election, a Presidential bye election within 2 years of his rule is almost inevitable
