Get Involved Zambia executive director Father Frank Bwalya has charged that president Rupiah Banda’s confidence that he will win the forthcoming elections is based on rigging.
Father Bwalya however, said that the MMD and President Banda’s confidence will not take them anywhere near the realms of power again.
He explained that indications on the ground do not favour the MMD retaining power in this year’s tripartite elections.
Father Bwalya said that Zambians were fed up with the current MMD government, adding that rigging of elections this year will not be allowed.
He also stated that President Banda would not have found himself facing the rejection he is facing had he been leading according to what the people wanted.
He added that the MMD will remember the money they have pumped in their re-election campaign because they stand no chance of being retained to power.
Fr Bwalya was speaking to QFM in an interview via telephone.
QFM
Let the talking points about rigging begin. The memo must have come from Wynter Kabimba and Associates. Has Father Bwalya now become an official PF consultant?
What has this got to deal with PF …
This guy is crazy! I’m with Vlad, Bwalya is a PF stooge. If he is so certain of rigging then let us hear or see his evidence, if not it is he who should be in court for defamation. This country needs proper libel laws so that people who make crazy allegations should be required to back them up with hard facts…did not a certain GeorgeMpombo make crazy allegations about arms deals but was never able to back them up…and he was Defence Minister!
UNCLE RED CARD…LOL
Father Bwalya needs SERIOUS DELIVERENCE. He is so lost and has even forgotten his real calling, or did he venture into priesthood for other reasons, anyway i wonder if he has time to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ…..elo akachimo of aka stubborn bemba man, the irritating type…and the worst thing is; so nganimwebo abena zambia are considering him akama little role model…. IYE…..SHUWA…Pa Zed land of opportunites as i say the problem is ABATUTU NABA FULISHA MU ZAMBIA, NINSHI BAFUMINE KWI?…IYE…
Aka Ka Fath… Bwalya Kalipena sana kamudaala aka. He is always upto no good. What has Sata promised this dude mwe bantu. VIVA HH or RB.
I am surprised to hear that this guy strangled a chicken at a rally. Really gross of the Nigerian witch movie type. Strange characters we have in Zambia.
Father ‘NO FACTS’ Bwalya should not even be given space ba LT naimwe.This failed priest should just zip-up if he has nothing to say.
Being a priest doesn’t mean stopping being a zambian.fr bwalya speaks for the people of zambia,he is he voice of the voiceless so don’t charge him that he is a PF but what he needs is the changing of government.
Changing MMD with MMD 2001 harcores?
@UW, him being a ‘priest’, he should speak responsibly and not advocate for anarchy.
Somebody should remind father Walya that the same way he hates RB somebody else hates SATA
Which masses is he speaking for and wat truth ? And why is this agent of the devil still being called father!peddling lies which are able to bring strife is not priestly or Christ like so which voiceless Zambian is he speaking for?I bet u min pf when u say voiceless!that man should be caged!
Personally, I have not seen anythng wrong with Father Bwalya’s statement, if the situation on the ground is so bad that he Head of Stae even fail to go and attend the burial of a cleargy man who dedicated his whole life to Zambians because he is told he may be embarrassed, how can that same head os state continue claiming he will win elections??
Unprecedent developments, roads to be finished in weeks just creating dust for the people and reselling houses to Zambians which were initially sold by late FTJ???
Where will the support come from when people are still bitter about constitution, corruptions issues and introduction of UNIP style like Moses Kalonde, Gregory Cifire and Edwin lifwekelo????
U r the only objective zambian. Big up
This fake Priest is always waffling. This Frank Bwalya is NOT a christian. He is a pagan just like his colleagues RB and Sata. When the 3 of them are talking you cannot tell who amongst the 3 is a Priest.
If you surf the Web and read your e-mail every day, why not pay then it start? Several onlnie companies are reinventing the new way that teens read e-mail. Ads Now young people are paid to visit websites and e-mail read. This is one of the easiest ways to make money onlnie. Basically, if you choose one of these sites, you start to fill out a registration form. Some sites even you start with an instant bonus of five dollars. Once you are logged visits always start reading e-mails and Web sites paid. For a big check each month just for surfing the Web.
Such foolishness from a supposed man of God shows you that any human process can produce dogs and crap. This man went through the rigorous process of becoming a Catholic priest now he is busy running around like a rabid dog with flees on it back. He says whatever comes to his brain (assuming he has one) without thought. This populist approach of just yapping and pleasing the masses with silly things is what has left most African countrys in the problems they are facing now. Clearly, this fool has no idea what running a country is all about and is probably confusing an election with the many erections he must have suffered in his short priesthood! What a bloody fool – irritating and in desperate need of growing up.
#10 Where have you been lately? Please dont mention UNIP, when PF manifesto is a photo-copy of the UNIP one according to PF itself. This man is merely trying to sow seeds of distrust and destruction so that when PF loses the election, they will be justified in taking to the streets and committing violent acts. What rigging is he talking about? The ballot papers are still being printed in Durban and there are PF representatives overlooking the whole process, one of whom I may add, wanted to steal a ballot paper so as to cause chaos in the country. Sata claimed that the ballot papers had already been printed and were hidden in the country when that could not have been the case, why should I now believe yet another cry of wolf from another PF sympathiser?
Fr. Bwalya talks sense all the time and if the govt doesn’t like it too bad
This rupiah govt claims to work for the people, why then is it allergic to constructive criticism?
All you want to hear are praises for your stealing of public resources and corruption? Sorry that wont happen.
You deserve to be booted out of govt
I can see you’re an epexrt at your field! I am launching a website soon, and your information are going to be quite fascinating for me.. Thanks for all your assist and wishing you all of the success.
The elections are three weeks away and yet the stories of rigging have already started. Why do these people want to de-legitimise this election? Do these people really believe in democracy when they are prepared to peddle lies and promote violence simply to derail the whole process?
Which Zambians does Frank Bwalya speak for kanshi? Ba PF?
TRUE RBISH GIVES HIMSELF COFIDENCE COZ OF RIGGING.. THIS TIME TAIMYANGE..NAIKAKANA…UKUBEBA NI DONCI…GO BWALYA GO
unfortunately my boy has been fired from Catholic church. he is now mr franco walya, my ritualist.
FATHER BWALYA ISH…ITS PRETTY OBVIOUS THAT RB IS WINNIN DONT CHOOSE TO BE BLIND
discredited ex priest
Kaponya Bwalya…..we will see how your face will look like after September 20th..you, sata and meembe. Stop smoking chamba and look at things as they are. Useless mambala, mtakati…
i think this bwalya charecter just needs to get laid. it is belived that if sum1 isnt having enuf sex or is having little sex then their thinking is returded. lets take him to ready for marriage mwandi
Our dear brothers and sisters on the Titanic are in a panic, first the court cases, then the Zimbabwean police officers, then the talk of a state of emergency to cancel the elections and now their old faithful…rigging via a magic paper which swallows PF votes and transfers them to MMD…sounds to me like someone has smoked a few too many ‘herbal’ cigarettes!! And through all of this we have not heard a single sentence on what they will do for us once voted into service…is this really the change Zambia needs?
OK BUT FR BWALYA SHOULD SERIOUSLY THINK OF GETTING A LIFE ATA HE CANT EVEN BE ASHAMED AS OLD AS HE IS SAYING THINGS THAT DONT MAKE SENSE THIS YEAR MMDS WINNIN WEATHER HE LIKES IT OR NOT
father bwalya kabiyeni uko naimwe you have failed as a father,you have failed your duty that God gave you and all you are doing is attacking RB,you have failed as a father and you should not use the church in vain,this pf thing will not take you anywhere,you failed to run radio ichengelo and now you are busy toking shit,just go and take care of your child
I have been piintang rooms with designs and now I can cut my work time! These also give people flexibilty to change a room more often! Thanks for all the selections!
we dont want this man in pf. he is a devil . even the catholic church has distanced itself from him. no one wants to hear from him. he is a disaster. maybe only the devil will listen to him
VIVA BWALYA VIVA…RB IS THE MOST CORRUPT AND WICKED PPRESDENT ZAMBIA HAS EVER HAD..THIS FOREIGNER HAS INVADED US AND BLINDER FOLLOWER ARE BEHIND HIM…KUYABEBELE
atleast Fr. Bwalya has sumthing to eat everyday, so he fighting and speaking for you *****s who can’t feed your children who you can’t feed. Leave the man of God alone cause he can afford to fold his arms and watch.
Sense my brother. Leave the *****s. They love suffering
Alo Ba Father when was the last time you held a Bible in your hands?
#28 So you think that Sata will feed your kids? Zambia is one of the few countries in Africa that can feed itself and where the price of food is coming down, if you cant organise your life in such an environment to feed the children that no one forced you to have, it is your own problem. Satan will not be delivering a bag of maize meal to your door at the end of every month. People like you need to learn to stand up for yourselves.
I was very amused to see the PF website talking about supposed malpractice in Vubwi constituency in 2008 see link:Â http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh603JGdHt4 Watch the video carefully, paying attention to the figures mentioned…then compare this with the official results as published by the ECZ:
BANDA 3,925
SATA 373
HICHILEMA 452
MIYANDA 65
Either the man and his team to not have the capacity to add and analyse or they are blatant liers…you decide…but either way they are not fit to govern a country.
You are 100% correct father. Â I suggest you join UPND and be part of the next government.
Fr Bwalya is one of the refugees from Congo he is full of blood of violence in him he wants the people of Zambia to be dispersed like those of Congo. Shame on you mupatiri as a man of God you have to pray so that God will put a strsit forward leader. who is upright nota crocked one like you
Zeb mpinganjira,
Iwe kapuli it’s evident if membe tells you to open your mouth he pees,you can agree.listen,the head of state should not attend any paupers funeral.that is sata’s duty.
VIVA THIS CORRUPT REGIME SHUD GO….VIVA FR
IMWE MUMONA KWATI MU KATOLIKA MWALIBA UMUTUNTULU.ITS GOOD THAT IS SUPPORTING PF IF IT WAS RB I WAS GOING INSULT HIM AS WELL..

Ahh some people are so annoying and irritating in this world. look at his big lips
Zambia has plenty opportunities. It is not people like father Bwalya who can solve your problems. Solve them yourselves.You must be your own president,manager,boss etc.It is not about Sata,HH or RB. It is about yourself. You are the captain of your own life. You will die complaining without achieving anything if you are waiting for a politian to run your life
DO NOT MIND ALL THESE *****S FATHER….THEY ARE BEING ABUSED BY RUPIAH IN THE SAME WAY THANDIWE USES GER SANITARY PADS
Stop smoking weed ba former father, please.
@ ALL AGAINST THE CLEGY,THE BIBLE SAYS “TOUCH NOT MY ANOINTED ONES” WETHER HE IS RIGHT OR WRONG THE WORD OF GOD IS STANDARD!!! SO TO YOU ALL WHO ARE NOT ANOINTED ONES I SAY YOU ARE CURSED,EVEN YOUR CHILDREN WILL NOT SEE A GOOD LIGHT FROM GOD CAUSE YOU ARE BLINDED BY THE SPIRIT OF THE DEVIL HIMSELF…. FATHER BWALYA HAS HIS OWN OPINION LIKE ALL OF US FOOLS ON THIS BLOG,TO EXPRESS OUR MINDS AND OUR RIGHTS,BUT COME ON 21st SEPT 11 WHEN THE ELECTION RESULTS WILL BE READY AND WHO WINS AS EVERY EYE IS WATCHING NO RIGGING THIS TIME
Where is your beared? I hope you ‘ve also shaved down there.
#5, You kidding? The catholic “priest” strangled a chicken at a PF rally? Mai we!! It must have been disgusting for many people, how many of them will attend the next PF rally? Uluse kuli ba Sata, he seems to be campaigning alone, no support from his officials and cadres as they are always misfiring.
If you have old stuff, you can alwyas sell to may eBay.Sie babysitting, cleaning yards plan the party, if you live around my lake for fishing can sell you good luck.
Comment # 38 Please come down to earth and know that we are debating the issues affecting us as Zambians soon we will continue our own lives but this being an election year there is need us to discuss issues of national interest. Your comments that it is not politicians who would solve our problems clearly demonstrates that you are not a tax payer because if you are you should be concerned if wrong policians remain in power or assume office. We further have a right to complain because government is the biggest spender in the economy so if it does not know its priorities then you the dormant hard working you still kill yourself in a car accident because of unattended potholes. So Ba Kalamba there are many ways you cannot avoid the government.
Bakaponoka if they Rig.Just go like Kaunda did.
PF here we come.
breaking news!!breaking news
Ndola caholic Diosise stalks tough on father bwaya. in a letter writen by diosisian bishop banda to franck bwalya sending him on indefinate leave the church have ordered Frank Bwalya not to wear priestly gowns, not to represent or use the name of the catholic church in his new life. he fether told his not to be found within the diosise but advised him not to break his cerebacy oath until a new cause for his life is determined. to my understanding this is a disciplinary action thatn a mere resonse to his request for leave. infomation reach me from my pf source are that sata is not happy with the action taken by ndola diosise on his heired gun because it may affect his much dreamed about catholic vote especially that catholic members respects their reader positi
Father Frank Bwalya is the spiritual son of Bishop Paul Duffy
And Bishop Paul wanted MMD out…
May God hear them…
Let’s see who can speak louder from the Grave?
Fr Duffy or Kafupi?
PF you’re a bunch of goons! You and HH messed up The Pact all by yourselves and now you want to prematurely cry about rigging? Fact is, RB will ultimately pick up votes from all 9 provinces while the rest of you clowns will only depend on your tribal strongholds. Better to have 5yrs of RB than 10yrs of that raving lunatic; King Cobra!
# 30 & 40, that’s the way to go! it really beats me how a person can possibly think someone else will make them successful, or bring food to their table! no matter what you are given even a good paying job, or won the lotto, if you have a poverty consciousness like the majority of the people of Zambia, you will still end up failing, people are so blinded by self pity that they actually do not see opportunities, even if it slapped them in the face because they have poverty stricken minds which only allows them to see what their belief system accepts as reality…IYE WHAT A SHAME…
Zambia has for the past three decades or so produced young people capable of leading this great nation. Why to day we can continue listening to people like Father Bwalya, Sata and likes is beyond me. I would urge Zambians, particularly the young to get involved in the country’s affairs regardless of your profession. You are the future and Zambia is yours. Stop being used by politicians with one leg in their graves or demented poeple like father Bwalya. Seize the opportunity and rally behind RB because he has demonstrated his love for this country by appointing young Zambians to lead critical institutions in our society.
Which of you criticising Fr. Bwalya is so dull as not to know that the MMD has been winnig the past three elections through rigging? Are Zambians so docile as not to see what’s happening during these elections? How then do you explain a party that has failed in all areas of our Country”s development to continue in power for the past 20years. Don’t be so sleepy. Wakeup and see how these people have plundered our beloved Zambia. Viva progressive Zambians like Fr. Bwalya. SHIBUKENI MWEMBUTUMAMWE..
FATHER BWALYA IS TELLING THE TRUTH. IF YOU ARE SLEEPING, DON’T ARGUE. YOUR IGNORANCE DOES NOT MEAN IT’S NOT HAPPENING. IF YOU CONTINUE TO SHOW THE MMD HOW IGNORANT YOU ARE OF THEIR RIGGING,THEY WILL SADLY RULE YOU FOREVER AND THE COUNTRY WILL SURELY CONTINUE TO GO DOWN. WAKEUP ZAMBIANS. IT’S TIME FOR YOUR VOTES TO COUNT.
leave father bwalya alone let him speak his mind and if you want you can speak what you want .
for me i like his opinions viva pf
why is the pf always talking about rigging.they know they are losing becoz they ditched the pact.we are going to make sure MMD wins again.
M****** mwe. You can’t open your eyes on issues pertaining to your lives. How many of you get more than a million as monthly salaries? Some of u r still struggling to pay loans.WAKE UP BAMBULI
# 30 and 37 are assholes. Who said a clergyman cant talk politics. Martin Luther King, Desmond Tutu, Mother Theresa……………… and others spoke for their people. Its not only the spiritual side but the physical that matters.
Creative, fun, uqiune, and inspiring! I work at a high school where the mascot is a Pirate. Would love to see the Pirate in a purple (our school color). I would put them all around my desk in the office!
