The Patriotic Front is in the process of registering a Non-Governmental Organization which will be responsible for establishing vocational skills training centers in the country.
PF Secretary General Wynter Kabimba says the training centers will be established in each province by the end of this year. Mr Kabimba adds that the programme will continue up to 2013 with the establishment of centers in each district.
This is aimed at tackling unemployment in the country. He was speaking at a party consultative meeting in Chipata, Eastern Province on Sunday.
And PF has come out in full support of President Michael Sata’s reorganization of ministries. PF Secretary General Wynter Kabimba said that the Ministry of Tourism and Arts is a response to the increasing need for the country to benefit from a growing demand for the arts and tourism. He is confident that many young and talented people will benefit from the Tourism and arts.
The PF Secretary General said the President’s move is in line with the party’s ability to align its plans, policies and decisions to the ever-changing global situations.

He said the nation was aware that the declining fortunes of the United Party for National Development (UPND) were as a result of the party’s failure to adapt to the changing environment by adopting better strategies and actions in imaging itself with the people.
He said the PF was a visionary party that had foreseen the huge economic benefits that would result from a well-managed and coordinated arts sector and the promotion of indigenous works of art, which should excel internationally.
“Anybody with some elementary knowledge about planning will be aware that a good plan is not static but should be adaptable enough to respond to the changes in the context and environment in which it is set.
“Of course we do not expect the UPND to understand this given their structural failure to adapt as a political party,” he said.
And Mr Kabimba has warned of expulsion provincial and district party officials who are in the habit of suspending party members without consulting. Speaking when he addressed party officials from all the nine districts of Eastern Province in Chipata this afternoon, Mr. Kabimba said he will not tolerate a situation where a few members of some committees agree to suspend individuals without the blessings of the entire party organs in districts and provinces.
The PF Secretary General said decisions to suspend members should be done collectively by all members of the district and provincial committees. He advised the party officials to follow laid down procedures when dealing with disciplinary issues.
And Mr. Kabimba has advised party officials to apply reformatory measures on erring members saying suspensions should be the last resort. He stated that it would be unfair to suspend old members of the party on small issues in order to give positions to new members.
Mr. Kabimba noted that some members of the party in Eastern Province want to give positions to new members and deny the people who worked hard for the PF when it was in the opposition. “There are people that worked hard for the party who should be respected because they are the ones that led to the PF’s victory in the 2011election,” he said.
The PF Secretary General also observed that party membership has remained low due to disunity in the Eastern Province. He advised party leaders to desist from unnecessary bickering and gossip, saying this leads to disunity and stated that they should lead by example.
Meanwhile, Mr. Kabimba has advised party officials in the province to ensure that all party members abide by the rules and regulations of the party saying they should not be selective in applying disciplinary measures.
“The rules apply to all members and as such no one should be seen to be above others,” he said. He cautioned the members against defying decisions by the Central Committee as it is the prime organ of the party stating that all members should follow its decisions.
He stated that the Central Committee will not allow a situation where party provincial or district leaders defy its decisions.
And speaking at the same occasion, PF Eastern Province Chairperson Lucas Phiri said the number of PF civic leaders in the province has increased due to hard work by the party.
He noted that according to records, the number of councillors has increased from four to eleven after the recent local government by-elections in Chadiza, Petauke, Vubwi and Lundazi districts.

How can the government form an NGO?
It is a joke of all times in the history of Zambia. How does governoment for a Non-governmental Orgaisation!
PF is not a government but a Party in government! Mark the difference please!!!!!!!!!!!! A party has its own legal identity and has LEGAL right to do any business that can advance its vision and this NGO idea is indeed a bright one. Bravo PF! This is the way to go.
This is a good idea; but differenciat the party’s function to the government operations. You are a lawyer do not mix the two because we do not want people to start following you the abuse of office after PF
Can the PF advertise for an NGO capable of this. I do not understand how for example a Church can form a “non religious organization”.
Spot on KCI…
These people think zambians are stupid. You so right
HEYYYYYYYYYYYYY,WASSUP SUMMER!
Iwe Wynter Kabimba what are you talking about G.R.Z forming a NGO ?you love to make news ,you are on some good medication.
Talk about governance made simple?? Copy and paste according to the gospel of the Communist Party. Or is it the Party and Government, “PIG” or CPN?
What is Kabimba talking about? Has PF got any smart person in their ranks or government? Because every statement that PF makes on the economy, it hardly makes sense. This is the problem when you elect a bunch of ignorant people to run a country.
THE GOVMNT IS IN A PROCESS TO REGISTER AN NGO NOT GVMNT FORMING OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A PARTY INNITIATIVE.
OMG!
thats what I say!! OMG….
HE HE HE HE HE !!!
MINISTER WITHOUT POTIFOLIO = GOVERNMENT WITHOUT AGENDA.
=CNP
Who will be funding that organisation? Who will run it and inwill what capacity does a ruling party substatiate on such actions? I miss Zed.
But why form an NGO for that? Doesnt make sense. Where will it be getting the resources from? We dont want the next govt to start allerging that Donor funds were diverted to the party and hence to pockets of individuals. The formation of training centers is a brilliant idea, but the methodology (NGO) doesnt make sense in as far as I am concerned.
Socialistic idiologies are emerging from govt. I dont like capitalism but an explained mixed mode of production would be better.
u want to use an NGO TO STEAL GRZ RESOURCES.THIS IS CRAZY……
This is the most stupid thing that has come out of the mouth of any ruling political party.
If you want to form NGOs, leave government, and stop demonstrating your failure to plan as government for the people of Zambia.
ADVICE TO ANDELEKI:
Don’t register their supposed NGO. They are a political party. This is a contradiction. Next time, the cabinet will be registering an NGO as if their hands were not full.
It’s amazing how people can criticize positive moves to help the country simply because of who announces it. No wonder we are one of the poorest countries on Earth… Anyway that’s my government at work, these are people of action, not endless consultation and chewing allowances for ever with no results
It is a good initiative, but it is being done in the wrong way!
The formation of NGOs by PFgovt is not only buffling but unthinkable to any serious party leader like Kawimba or govt leaders that want to create employment for citizens. What is an NGO and its objectives?, who forms an NGO and its accoutability?. Us as a long established NGO would not want to exist at the whims of political expediency. We exist to serve the under privelaged, the ones government does not recognise and sidelines them to the fringes of society. We exist not to provide employment to the unemployed, contraly we focus on the poor whom govt has failed to assist through their vast resources and ignore the poor majority. Sentiments expressed by Kabimba are lies told before elections by Sata to cover new lies after failing to provide employment to the unemployed in Zambia.
So it seems you have failed so far in your task since the unemployed are still unemployed? Even with MMD they were unemployed, so don’t blame PF
So who tells you that this NGO will not target the vulnerable in society? This is exactly why PF is creating it and this will complement GRZs training programs. Bravo PF, go gooooo
HAHAHAHAHA…comedy at its best..What do you expect from a guy that spells WINTER WITH Y…
How does a vocational training centre reduce unemployment. Is PF saying the are jobs in Zambia but people lack skills?
yes, especially self employment jobs,
#1 i am with you. How can govt form an NGO. this is a sign of a failed govt. They want to use the NGO to put more money in their pockets before and after they go out of power. the next govt should deregister this planned PF NGO.
This is certainly a first a government forming a NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATION! I think Kabimba simply does not know what the acronym ‘N.G.O’ means. Isn’t this a recipe of increasing bureaucracy and duplicating the work that is or should be carried out by other govt departments?How is the proposed re-introduction of national service going to fit into this and more importantly where is the money to fund this programme going to come from?
Where and how do you think other NGOs get the funding? Mune Chilufya just form one for yourself and prepare bankable project proposals that potential financiers can believe in and see what happens next!
whatever!!
This is like saying PF is going to form an opposition party.
Lovely
I can detect a lot of ignorance as most of the bloggers have failed to see the difference between a party in government and government. Kabimba as Party SG is talking for the party and not the government. Please understand this and appreciate what the party in its own right wants to do.
Now vocational training centres, yesterday National Service?? what is going on?? Is UKWA still alive??
SORRY GUYS, I HAVE BEEN CUT OFF FOR A WHILE.IS UKWA (H.E CNP) IN THE COUNTRY
You laymen, yes its possible and right to form an NGO .It is like: PF (dad) can have his wife = the government, then he the PF can have some prostitute(s), thats the NGOs. Whoever deserves more intimacy its up to head-of-the house.
I feel for mother Zambia. First the incorporation of the Secretary General into Government means that trips such are these which are purely party matters are funded by Government and you tell me that we are serious with reducing wastage in government spending.
Second as already pointed out, government can not form an NGO, unless what the SG meant was PF as a party. Lets assume it GRZ, one would wonder whether an evaluation of the current state of affairs has be undertaken. There government departments charged with training eg Ministry of Agriculture for agric sch, Ministry of science & vocational training or whatever its new name, Ministry of Health for Health related programme. why would government need a NGO with all these institutions already place
Well pointed out. We already have govt departments charged with this sort of thing in place. Why the need for an NGO? This doesn’t make an sense. How abt strenghtening institutions that are already in place like TEVETA? I think Mr Kabimba and PF should sit down with all the institutions that are concerned with vocational training in the country and chat the way forward.
CNP at its best
Imwe shikulu ba kabimba what is the meaning of NGO? Please you are lawyers stop misleading people.
Bakolwe imwe read between the line “The Patriotic Front is in the process of registering a Non-Governmental Organization which will be responsible for establishing vocational skills training centers in the country” ….not forming but registering.
True to my word. This is a first. A govt forming an NGO! Where are the brains people in PF? Zambia is really the real Africa.
Mr Kabimba, where on earth, govt forming an NGO? Unheard of. You guys in govt are misfits, you are plunging this country into serious problems. Govt has ministries which can form those centers not a govt NGO. You want to start stealing our tax payers money. We wont let you. IF YOU CANT GOVERN, PLEASE QUIT GOVERNMENT.
This is confusing. The other day it was Kambwili with compulsory entreprenual national service. Now its a govt sponsored NGO to provide vocational training. It is understandable that that the pre election promises made are giving our govt officials sleepless nights. But please (winter and kambwili) think through your ideas and avoid this tendency of formulating policy as you walk (or as you are gripped by panic attacks).
THE PROBLEM WITH MOST BLOGGERS IS THAT U DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU READ AND THEN COMMENT IGNORANTLY………WINTER CLEARLY SAID THE PF – WILL REGISTER THE NGO AND NO THE GOVNT …PLEASE PF AND THE GOVNMENT ARE NOT THE SAME. PF IS A POLITICAL PARTY AND NOT GOVNMENT.
This may be a good idea but the question is does the PF, as a party, have enough money to estabish skills training centres throughout Zambia? In the end the PF will end up pinching money from government coffers to run these centres. This is unacceptable. Party and its government (PIG) mentality should not come back.
As a party, PF can do anything they want just like any other organization be it the MMD, UNIP, UNPD, etc. I think that Kabimba is taking this straight from the Chinese playbook where they have their ruling party running parallel institutions to supplement government programs.
However, if it so happens that happens that the Chinese’s ruling party is behind this in support of the PF, then it is the end of the opposition in Zambia because the Chinese would make these institutions more competitive than even GRZ.
The resultant will be that PF will have the ability to generate their own funds through fees and receive huge donations from companies to be written off against their taxes as these donation would fall under charitable contributions to an NGO. Party loyalty will be the goal!
In the end these vocational skills training centers in every province and eventually district would be PF functionaries in charge of mobilization, electioneering and civic advocacy. A very smart move, I might add … but bad for a young competitive democracy.
The only recourse to this would be for parties in opposition to come up with similar programs but there will always be a question of funding because lobbying for financial support for a party out of government is so much harder than for the incumbent.
If the opposition does not see this for what it is, they are doomed … the only way to break the impulse is for them to request for a judicial review under anti-trust laws and follow the money. People are creatures of tendencies and if PF feeds them, PF gets rewarded forever.
Bro. Insider,tekanya mwana. Few months ago, when PF was in opposition they didnt have capacity to form and run NGOs. Where is this money going to come from this time around? Tax payers money, not so? PF is a party for FICHIMBWI NO PLAN,period!

Can any sane person seriously expect political party cadres/wolves at district level/ward/section levls of any political party to organise decent training/craft colleges. Those chibuku guzzling, hot temptered, knife/panga welding, foulmouthed, broke to the bone cadres to run vocational colleges through an NGO. My foot!
Ba Don: You wrote, “… Tax payers money, not so? PF is a party for FICHIMBWI NO PLAN,period!”. My response is coming later because the moderator has not approved it yet so you will read it later here but two of the biggest mistakes any enterprise can do when it comes to competitive analysis are:
1. Living in the past and
2. Under-estimating your competitor.
That said by you referring to PF as being what they were 10 months ago, you have already lost the battle for tomorrow and by you under-estimating them as CNP, you will live in rude shock until you are completely out of business.
CNP actually has a plan, that’s the reason they are in government right now and you are not, you keep under-estimating them while they are busy ensuring they rule forever, to your own detriment.
BR Mumba I totally beg to agree with you mune..Bebe mwandi , the opposition tend not to know that the easiest way to get rid of an idea is not by shooting down the person with the idea , but by rather replacing the idea with a better one…Sata will surprise alot of people in the long run..Its hard as it is because the economy was almost on its knees when he took over and we know enomically money plundered takes time to be recovered but i have faith one day tukaba bwino….
Ba Fwenketepo: eeh tukabefye bwino, running a government is a lot of work and some opposition supporters think you can turn the Titanic around in a minute. It takes a lot of time for that to happen and that’s the reason all of us have to be involved. MCS is a hard worker with the ability to get things done, Chikwanda is UNIP like me and I know what he is capable of doing with the right checks and balances in place. Natotela mukwai.
Hahahaha Pf government

Any mental Dr? I need one urgently, please. There is a lunatic somewhere

Wrong move by PF. They should just give more funding to TEVETA which runs oversees most VC Training such as Lusaka Trades and others.
Ba Mukantedwa USA: The PF (Party) objective here is not more funding of TEVETA run by GRZ (government), that’s the job of the Department of Education. Their objective is to create similar institutions with their own party objectives with bragging rights which will eventually be used for PF functionaries in charge of mobilization, electioneering and civic advocacy resulting in perpetual rule over the smart people of the Zambian Enterprise.

BUT UNZA, CBU AND OTHERS ARE UNDERFUNDED. SO HOW WILL THIS GENERATE MONEY WHEN PF HAS NO SOURCE OF INCOME AND CAME INTO GOVT., BROKE?????

To achieve the required funding as an NGO, companies which otherwise would make donations to other NGOs would be approached for their tax free $$$ since, the PF NGO would be a tax exempt organization. The opposition can’t organize similarly and only an anti-trust law suit can stop this soon to be created political monopoly enterprise.
And the opposition would need a very smart anti-trust attorney to argue and handle this case otherwise, it is a Trojan horse meant to play on the general populace’s faculty with psychedelic flares.
The normal thing to do would be for the PF to establish endowment programs for UNZA, CBU and TEVETA to compliment government funding but they are not doing that because they have their own self-interests in these vocational skills training centers in every province and eventually district.
This is a sure way of keeping a captive audience for their party with bragging rights through their vocational skills training centers in every province and eventually district all the way to the next election. The opposition does not have the same advantage as non-incumbents.
Another way to syphone more K14billions!

You see B R Mumba Snr,you can be a Gvt spokesman as sense is being spelt out from you however,am not saying you are a PF cadre but you seem to understnd the operation of PF Govt and providing direction which even Ministers can do.Are you the one who singlehandedly draft their failed,treacherous and good for nothing manifesto which has full 90 days later on unrealistc?what would you justify,a party registering an NGO…has ministries failed,,,thats an embarassment
Ba Koswe: in his third class history class, Bill Clinton was astounded by the magnificence and flamboyance of the fallen Roman Empire. How they had conquered the entire world for so many centuries even before Christ only be to defeated by Napoleon Bonaparte.
Young Bill walked over to his teacher and told her that if he was the Emperor of Rome, it (Rome) would not have fallen. If I was to write the PF manifesto, by God, it would have been seamlessly implemented and all the gaffes herein would not have been experienced by the smart people of the Zambian Enterprise … have a blessed day.
meant to say … in his third “grade” history class, I apologize for that.
Ba Sokwe: I just noticed that I actually called you Ba Koswe … I am sorry about that, no lyiine nalwe … but I also wanted you to know that I don’t need to be PF spokesman. You see, General William Tecumseh Sherman was being considered as a possible Republican candidate during the American Civil War for the presidential election of 1884, and he declined, saying, “I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected.”
Same here, pal … I am very busy with my businesses/life and if appointed I would decline, if sown in, I would not serve. I love what I do and I am a very happy camper but I love my birth homeland with a passion … the Zambian Enterprise is a fantastic franchise and I would love to see it prosper. I want my Zambia back … Umutoto wandi washikwa pa Zed.
Ba B R Mumba with all due respect. I think your long absence from home has obscured your discernment of the situation on the ground. Our political culture in Zambia is nowhere near the discipline that have kept Parties like the Communist parties of China or Cuba in power. In Zambia the little volunteerism spirit is lost at election victory and Vultures of all sorts and sizes swarm in. They ruling party funtionaries at national and provincial level are business/ top govt job vultures (or proxies). At district level & below are hungry folk trying to break from the cycle of poverty using political means. All these levels unfortunately are dictated by a rogue foulmouthed, exicitable & violent cadre that can slash a throat for chibuku. This PF PROGRAMME POINTS TO MASS PRODUCTION VIGILANTES
In a nutshell NGO work is about volunteerism. I dont see unemployed poverty striken PF cadres (or anyparty for that matter) volunteering to offer vocational skills, which skills or organisational/managerial capabilities they dont have themselves anyway. Giving them this NGO with alll the Party & Its Govts (PIGs) blessings will be like giving them the Vigilante license that UNIPist youths had in the 2nd republic. Who want to go back to such?
Mr. B.R Mumba, i think your contribution will make sense if you comment what is in your head than copying and pasting stuff.
Ba Blago: I was waiting for the moderator to approve my comments and so to keep the conversation going I had to copy and paste some unmoderated comments to fit in what I was talking about. If fact LT just now approved all the other comments they were holding on to … I apologize for the confusion but I know how that could have come about on your part. LT are my partners in crime on this … thanks a trillion
Ba Theoretician: two months ago, people rushed to Mpulungu looking for employment, that group went into a stampede resulting in nine people dead. What were they looking for again? Employment!!!
We under-estimate scenarios to our own detriment, PF mean serious business and have the Chinese in their corner and by the this time next year, watch this space and you will behold with your own eyes how much they would have accomplished.
I am for all that, I want any party in power to improve the lives of our people but I am against any party creating structures similar to what kept the ruling party in Mexico in power for 70 years by putting similar structures the PF is proposing.
Democracy is a dangerous franchise that easily gets diminished returns in a vacuum of strong competition.
For your information, the economies of Mexico and the United States of America were at par one hundred years ago … and so were the two economies of the smart people of the Zambian Enterprise and that of South Korea in 1964.
Fast forward today, the Mexican used to climb fences to go look for work in the good ole USA and the smart people of the Zambian Enterprise are still mining copper which the South Koreans are turning into high tech products despite their total lack of raw materials.
What made the difference between USA and South Korea? Both are highly competitive franchises when it comes to democracy while until recently Mexico and Zambia just got the real understanding of the connection between economic prosperity and democracy … I rest my case.
Mr B.R Mumba Sr,
What we need in a democracy is not Govt running our bedrooms and Kitchens. They need to restructure and decentralize TEVETA. For you own Info, TEVETA if we managed would and funded would help increase the number entrepreneurs not just job seekers and help reduce youth unemployment and through SELF employment and Macro Financing.
Think of people who cannot afford a University Education, that is why TEVETA was founded to facilitate skills training and entrepreneurship. Education in theory is not enough we need transferable skills in science, tech, mechanical, IT, Auto motive, contractions, architecture, and many more.
I totally agree with you, but this monstrosity of a PF NGO is designed to achieve the opposite as the party on one end would use these vocational skills training centers in every province and eventually district as PF functionaries in charge of mobilization, electioneering and civic advocacy just so they would have bragging rights and on the other hand perpetrate their political dominance at the end of the day among the smart people of the Zambian Enterprise.

There should be total separation of church and state (party and government) but this NGO would end up being nothing but a vote garnering machine to the detriment of other political parties with no ability to use PF’s political fortunes from China and other donors. It is monopolistic and bad for our democracy.
You have just repeated my line of argument and seems that we have come to a unison conclusion that PF NGO is bad idea and end up like the SWASTICA of Hitler’s Germany where you have to a support to get access to such facilities. What we need is a non partisan foundation working with all people regardless of gender, political affiliation, and status in society.
Ba Mukantedwa USA: Please read my comments in #39 way before you commented on anything starting #49, being ten comments after mine and I will quote the first paragraph for you here, ” … In the end these vocational skills training centers in every province and eventually district would be PF functionaries in charge of mobilization, electioneering and civic advocacy. A very smart move, I might add … but bad for a young competitive democracy.”
Doing things for all humanity is what government does, parties never do things for everyone for nothing and that’s why this monstrosity of an NGO is bad for our democracy because PF has the Power of Incumbency (POI) and the rest of the political parties don’t … you are the best.
The lack of logical thinking that bedevils most PF zealots like Kabimba stinks. Coming up with vocational skills training centers in the country while our schooling system right from kinder garten to university remains broken is to say the least most foolish indeed. It is the same CNP strategy of forcing street vendors off the streets when their predicament is a result of a moribund economy Sata promised to fix in 90 days. Both instruments aim to cure symptoms leaving the real causes of the symptoms intact. It’s foolishness of the worst order and these chaps should be content with their Chimbwi No Plan classification, they are clueless lumpens!
#61 & above Mumba , I used to beat up people like you who like shouting after just 1 beer. What is all that mess above, you think you own this website or you are looking for a job in PF’s NGO? nobody will read all that sh##$t, well come to America.
Ba Nostradamus: I don’t need a job. You see, General William Tecumseh Sherman was being considered as a possible Republican candidate during the American Civil War for the presidential election of 1884, and he declined, saying, “I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected.” Same here, pal … I am very busy with my life and if appointed I would decline, if sown in, I would not serve. I love what I do and I am a very happy camper but I love my birth homeland with a passion … the Zambian Enterprise is a fantastic franchise and I would love to see it prosper. My Dad used to say, if you ever get into a fight and start beating up people, it will be a sure sign that you have lost your mind and can’t think anymore. Very smart dude, my dad is. I agree with him!
The idea being proposed by Mr. Winter has been tried before in Angola and has been working very well. Youths from all walks of life are mobilised through training centres and taught life surviving trades. In the case of Angola, it was the Govt which foots the bills, but I see no reason why the same concept cant be applied elsewhere and work. The principle is to take these training centres to closer to society. I guess other issues of funding and accountability comes into play but with a sincere leadership, it is achievable.
Ba Mutale,the most unfortunate thing with our politicians here is that whatever they plan or do is purely an attempt to stay longer in power.I agree with Ba Mumba R B’s way of thinking and reasoning.Big man you are well informed.But for sure,we are equally planning and scheming.I for one dont belong to any political party.I’am a corporate leader and a true patriot, Ba Mumba.Our main aim is to see to it that our country is not plundered by political hyenas and to ensure we preserve it for our children’s children.BY WHATEVER MEANS.When I say OUR, I mean just that.We are a group that has decided to dedicate our lives, resources and brains to make sure our politicians are checked all the time.They’ve tried to frustrate us several times,but we never give up,and we’ll never surrender.
Ba Don … you are the best, thanks a trillion.
Worst Government -no different from my NGO- We are praying for this Government
The general idea is good. The ‘new’ trade and entrepreneural schools should not ape the exsiting ones. The new or re-engineered institutions should be different, government and not PF ought to take up this responsibility. They should be tailored to the needs and aspirations of that particuliar province by government. And they should be youth driven. If PF wants they should form a few of their own private trade / entrepreneural institutions using private funds. Our youth are suffering from career deficit and high unemployment. This is my cup of tea. Lets discuss. Email [email protected]
Kabimba may your ideas are good. I know the “NGO” you are taking about it will be called Patriotic Front non-governmental organisation. these are some of the signs that the central “PF” government has failed to deliver wait and see… we are yet to see more changes. my advise to my beloved president is that he should extremely careful with these young men’s ideas which aimed at turnishing the good image of the Party.
Hi there friends, fastidious paragraph and pleasant urging commented at this place, I am really enjoying by these.
