UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema has said that the perceived political tension between him and the PF emanates from his insistence that the ruling party fulfils its election campaigns to Zambians.

Mr Hichilema said that he will not stop reminding the PF to fulfill its campaign promises and obligation to Zambians.

He was speaking with ZNBC news on sidelines on the Freedom and Democracy Fighters Association of Zambia conference at Lusaka’s Evelyn Hone College.

But PF Director of Media and Publicity Chanda Mfula said that Mr Hichilema has become repetitive in his attacks on the ruling party.

Mr Mfula said that the job creation is an on-going process which cannot happen overnight.

He said that the PF will live up to its promise of creating jobs and wealth for Zambia.

Mr Mfula said that the PF needs time to deliver on its election promises and that the party is busy working to ensure it uplifts the welfare of all Zambians.

He said that the PF will not waste time reacting to political leaders that have run out of ideas but will only work on progressive ones.

  1. MFULA LIAR .DO THESE KAPONYAS REALLY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.MFULA THINK BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH .PF HAS FAILED THE ONLY THING SATA KNOWS IS TO ENRICH HIS BEMBA CLAN.

    • We are ruling you mwebatonga. Just keep on raising cattle and eating maggots. We have shown you that we are more sharper than you. 

  2. Can HH also explain his repeated statement just before elections that no single opposition party could defeat MMD?

  3. Under 5 at it again.plot 1 will be yours in 2050.nothing with reminding the pf to fulfill promises they made but do it constructively not out of bitterness and hatred such that you end up losing your focus.

  4. Iwe mr mfula the you’ve gone ahead and responded hence according to u, have gone against the very grain of your logic of not waisting time with a response. Irony or stupid?

    • Is “bitter” the only word that you bakaponya know how to spell?!  Everything else has to be in that horrible malabishi vernacular.

  5. LT i watched that Mayuka , In the interest of sanity LT stop writing stories about Mayuka. I was busy watching ‘Keeping up with the Kadarshins’ and then my fiancé rings to change and check the Zambian player coming on, I reluctantly checked the channel and guess what, here I see a player before coming on clapping! Clapping for no apparent reason just because he was about to come on!. What? Please… To make the maters worse his team were winning and apparently playing well, he comes on and suddenly the momentum shifts and the opposition scores TWICE and his team is now TOP of the table (well if you turn the table upside down) If you know what I mean

  6. He has embarrassed me, a lot of football fans and that club supporters most importantly perhaps himself, please in the interest of a lot of us, let us not write anything about him, for some reason he also looked to be carrying on a little excess weight, by the standards of any Scottish footballers like Samaras. LT I don’t think Mayuka is has what it takes to be what you are hoping for him to be, the leap from boys( Young Boys) to the elite is too much, It is like ZAMBIA PRODUCING A SWIMMER THAT WILL BEAT Michael Phelps, I am sorry it is not going to happen, and these dreams MUST perish 

    • Mushota

      I watched the match, Mayuka came on for the last fourteen minutes. He was clapping for his teammate whom he was replacing, congratulating him for a good job as at that time Southampton was leading. Your comments show a lot of ignorance regarding football. Samaras is Greek although he plays in the Scottish league.

      Mayuka is a striker and as such it is unfair to blame the loss on him. Remember that they were playing Manchester United, the kings of the comeback. I agree he did not see much of the ball, simply because Man United were in the ascendancy at that time. Why should the dreams perish, why should he worry about a fourteen minute cameo? I would think he deserves a lot of encouragement that he should simply work harder and things will work out for him.

    • Not all great people start great. If you know your History Churchill had a poor academic record at school, It has taken RVP six years at Arsenal to reach where he is. Mushota 5 yrs fiancing. Lets watch space, you can end up a good wife one day. As for Mayuka dont limit him.

  7. I can’t believe people are so naïve, does my heading! From Nick and Paul who watched the match I am told he may not even have touched the ball and he was jumping for no apparent reason before the ball came. I hope he does well, but I think I am more likely to may David Beckham before that happens

    Thanks 

  8. Sata and this thug mfula are liars there is nothing anything that they have achieved kwacha na ipena against the dollar . No jobs for youths 90days delusion by Sata was just a dream . I can’t wait 4 years is just too long, TB Joshua where are u please

  9. HH is a leader. Sata is a ruler. Zambians want to be ruled rather than being led and herein lies the mother of all problems for Africa. HH continue reminding them…. They are Evil and numbskulls. They will continue taking the country down while they make themselves rich through corrupt means. Easterners like Zulu will continue to be saccrificed until they understand what Sata and PF are doing. It is really very simple.

  10. ka HH epowapenena, PF promised to fulfill promieses in 90 day and as far as your concerned 90days is not yet up?????? Hh you fool

  11. HH comes out as a very brilliant leader who deserves to be president of Zambia in 2016 if the UPND constitution does not bar him. But his sense of alliances seems to be highly misdirected as to bring doubts in minds of prospective supporters. Examples of cheap alliances: UPND/PF, UPND/MMD and HH/William Banda. Total minuses . . .

    • Dear Dr Kasakwela…etc…@15, In the interest of a balanced and issue-based debate, please give credible examples there our current Govt has done what it said it would do, i.e. fulfilled its promises. 

  12. HH ndiye mwenye hekima ya uongozi na ujuzi wa kiuchumi kuliko Sata.Anafaa kuongoza zambia badala ya hiyo ng’ombe tuliyo nayo katika plot1 yenye ukabila mwingi.Tafadhali bwana HH endelea kukumbusha hawa wajinga wa PF zile ahadi na uongo waliotumia ili wapate kura zetu.

  13. “Mr Hichilema has become repetitive in his attacks on the ruling party”, what utter nonsense! What HH is doing is reminding the PF about their promises, which they are not fulfilling, and he has to keep reminding them.HH has all the qualities of a good leader and has a much more palatable demeanor than the embarassing, pathetic Sata, who is bringing the country down with all his misdeeds. Mfula is only protecting his job by saying what his boss would love to hear.

  14. Reminding and being cheeky are two different things. Expecting results in a year when the damage was done in over 20 years is unrealistic. Strange things do happen, so I can not rule out the possibility of this seemingly immature chap ruling one day. My advice, for HH to be relevant he has to offer solutions, and at least tell us what he will do and how he will do it. Otherwise, he’s pissing towards the wind.

    • Why offer solutions to numbskulls who thought they could do everything in 90 days?  You did not vote for HH because you did not believe in his solutions.  Why do you want to hear his solutions now? He is now reminding you of how dull you were for voting the clueless chimbwi with no plan. It is PF who said they would do everything in 90 days.  Isn’t it painful to realise that you were cheated?

  15. Good, UPND. That’s precisely what opposition parties are supposed to do, remain issue based and resolutely focused on issues that affect the voters i.e. remind Govt of the day to do what they said they would do. 

  16. Dear Dr Kasakwela…etc…@15, In the interest of a balanced and issue-based debate, please give credible examples where our current Govt has done what it said it would do, i.e. fulfilled its promises.

  17. Keep reminding them Sir even though they are clueless loudmouths hell bent on imposing the Bemba ideology on everyone else instead of delivering to the masses.Keeping PF on their toes is a mark of a good opposition leader and a responsible citizen that you are.Long live HH and his issue based progressive ideas.

  18. Being obdurate is not congruent with the doctrine of reminding another party of their cardinal social responsibilities they entered into with its citizens. PF govt is on course to do that job.
    HH lacks morality, integrity and the principles of objective persuasion and he confuses sheer stupidity and banality with astuteness.
    PF govt does not need to be reminded of its duty and responsibility to fulfil its election promises by nonentity like HH. Just concentrate on your provincial party please….

  19. Bitter Bitter Bitter inthe name of reminding.Always opposing and not coming up with solutions.This guy is an embarrassment to the Zambian politics.Always missing the facts.You told us you’d stand on your own and win but you did with the Mad dogs and losts tremendously.No focus,only noise.UPND should find a good leader not a bitter under….Remind who on what?Let them prove themselves and the elections will charge then in 2016.

  20. I am going to judge the PF after 5 years. If they dont deliver then I can vote for others if they do deliver I will vote them again. Not this 90 days nonsense. Ours is 5 years.

    • Which fuul talked about the 90 days nonsense?  Isn’t he the one you voted for?  Truth indeed hurts when you realise you were cheated.  You become bitter against those who remind you of how fuulish you were when voting/.

    • Uluse for what, twat?  Your fuul does not deserve respect.  Too much mbanje in one’s youth leads to early dementia and a lowered IQ.  Now you see the effects.

  21. I am a believer in democracy and i have learnt alot from Micheal Sata, the most important being; not to give up in life. Even when there seems to be no way out you just have to keep going. alot of bloggers here are insulting HH that his no factor in our political system. The same people have forgotten that in 2001 Sata was our “joke” of democracy, he had a one man party with Guy Scott working behind the scene. Today Sata is the one we are praising. Friends, let us not insult any politician, or look down on them, but encourage them to debate or discuss issues that will bring positive growth to our young democracy and economy. I would encourage HH to keep providing checks to this government, but in a more diplomatic way. We need issue based politics in Zambia from both PF and opposition.

    • Maybe Sata was a joke to you in 2001. To mee, and many people I know, he has never been. Its just that UPND under Mazoka was a force to truly reckon with. Under HH, check the graph for yourself and be honest with yourself.

    • Equaliser, you were the same tribalists who did not vote for Mazoka!  You continue with your forked tongues against HH.  Nobody is fooled.

  22. Okay let me get this straight. You guys are calling HH bitter for putting pressure on the government not to relax and deliver on its promises? Very smart guys very smart. (disapointed at the calibur of thought just witnessed)

  23. I was with PF’s big fishes yesterday when I asked them to tell if at HH was wrong to remind PF over their promises made last year this time. But these ladies challenged me with a question that made me feel uneasy. They said,” Is our President advisable!”. This is a serious consign if it is true. As on Chanda Mfula, how blind and unrealistic is he; to be reminded is a good think, it means somebody respect you. PF promised more on Job creation that Corruption. Though we appreciate the fight for corruption, but it has concentrated more fighting corruption than their prime campaign. Fighting corruption has became too monotonous; if Zambia has failured it let them come out in the open. It was started with Mwanawasa, Banda took it up and then Sata has continued with it.

  24. @ mushota, why do you bring up irrelevant topics of your boy friends/ fiance when you even know the topic is more important than you. Stop preaching about yo boy friend on this platform okay. What has mayuka got to do with politics anyway!!

  25. We can only say that PF has failed after 5 yrs of running our affairs.The only problem we have are the foolish Zambians who believed in the 90 day theory and I know that the architect of the 90 day theory is having sleepless nights when people like HH ask him to expand on his theory.

  26. Of course PF needs time to deliver, but if you use that time to take us back we shall resent it, be bitter about it because sad people do nothing but angry people change things. The bitter song of yours wont dispel the fact that the PF government is the most incompetent government in the world.

  27. If we were to put you (under 5) in office,u cant archieve wat the PF has archieved so far.Can you resign so that UPND can become a strong opposition?You have reduced the party to somewhere were it is not suppose to be.Am feeling pity of you as u cannot hera the ftree advise you are getting from pipo.How can u have William banda as your advise honestly?

  28. Stupid chaps when you are to fulfill your promises you call it attacks.Just do what youre supposed to do.PF did it why do they want others to keep quiet

  29. iwe ka mushata.what the hell are you talking about.who is interested in your affairs.what has muyuka got to do with the topic at hand

  30. HH is the man for the people of Zambia & given chance to be the president for this wonderful country, i know he can do wonders for this country. Very corporate & focused minded. HH let no amount of intimidation from the Paya Farmer government silence you, you are the voice for the voiceless & the only hope for the suffering ordinary Zambians. Thumbs up HH & the team.

  31. The beauty of information age we are in i.e. internet, is that its now easy to counter-check. One can simply Google ‘Hakainde Hichilema’  and ‘Michael Sata’ and read (and listen to clips) and compare the two men to see what ISSUES (not personality talk) each man has dealt with in the past and RESOLVED. It’s all there. Our Country’s sustainable development will only stem from how we deal with issues. Developed Countries have developed because they deal with ISSUES. Debate and resolve issues. e.g. PLAN    

  32. Brother HH, do not deviate from your current engagement, you have put them where they must be. Their backs are now facing the sea and they have nowhere to run, and they do not have a ship which take them to a place of safety. Comrade HH increase the pressure and hammer them harder. Do not worry about their mouth pieces e.g. Sakane, Mfula, in fact, there are talking issues which do not meet development of substance. Whatever, these people say does not hold true. Do not be scared of their sweeping statements, those statements are meant to feed the media flimsy. Viva HH, we are behind you. We are ready to offer excellent strategies in your political career and we are not looking for any remunerations

  33. Dr. Nevers Mumba, former Vice President, former diplomat, Ambassador for Canda, founder of own political Party, Mr. HH, private sector guru, chairman and member of several boards, never worked in Government nor chaired a meeting for bureaucrats. MMD, more parliamentary seats, country wide political strucutres, UPND less seats, mostly in Southern. Who is senior partner in this allaince and therefore who should stand as President for any possible pact??? Answer to this question will avoid wasting people’s time tlaking about alliances with pre-conceived ideas. I dont support MMd or Mumba himself but factually he is senior partners!!

  34. Lifasi la Zambia litezi likuba! Honestly, how can you tell the opposition to keep quiet until the fossil in State House and his tandem of buffoons clock 5 years. In 1975 Ian Smith said that Africans were not ready to rule themselves until 100 years (2075) from now. I concur with him if most the PF comments on here are to go by!

  35. HH had 25% in 2006, 19% in 2008 and lastly 18% in 2011. Does this not reflect declining political fortunes, where is the improvement coming from and why all this noise from this political novice? For a Pact with MMD, he needs to accept and realise he is the junior Partner to Nevers Mumba, facts, MMD has more seats in parliament, has broad country representation in terms of party structures, Dr. Nevers Mumba has more experience as former Veep and Ambassador! And yet HH wants to carry himself around like leader of some largest opposition Party?? What ego can do to some people with their followers, lol!!!

  36. Brother HH, we do not limit our onus in sharing our knowledge which is second to none, we want to provide strategies in formulating and implementing workable policies especially tailored for the Zambian markets so that Zambians are not subjected to ‘error and trial’ polices. No consultation fees for the work done, nothing, not even one rand or one cent. We want to help you understand the science which is employed in concientising the masses about their immediate needs as opposed to mambo jumbo talk approach. The economy of Zambia is our main objective. How can your country lag behind many countries in the sub Saharan Africa yet it has the potential to be a major grain producer? Very disappointing indeed. Your country holds about 40% of fresh water resource in the region. viva HH,

  37. Brother HH, You have been noticed already by the international community and what the investor community need is not your money but your flexibility and your assertiveness. Unfortunately the PF regime and their kind translate your imposing character as being bitter and anything negative associated with stereotypical tendencies. We can easily put questions to them and ask, what sort of criterio did they use which is scientifically acceptable? And or, we all use science to measure everything in our environment. I can measure anything provided I follow all research steps not biased methods cooked up somewhere in a corner

  38. @Abaakaabaa # 56
    You have put to anyone a good question. However, hopefully your intentions are not biased. My point of departure is that Mr.HH is not a party of a government of national unity and there is no government of national unity in Zambia currently. Second, Mr.HH cannot share his blue print of economic plans with the incumbent govt. because there are no gains for him at this stage. Should in given event Mr. HH deems it fit to release his blue print to the media, then the PF regime will pligialise his plan and they will enjoy the benefits at his expence. Granted the implications, I respect his wait and see approach he has maintained thus far. Hopefully I have answered your question.
