Schemes by some unnamed to have Justice Minister Wynter Kabimba ousted as PF Secretary General has been exposed by PF Lusaka Province Chairman Geoffrey Chuumbwe.

The moves to remove Mr. Kabimba as the party’s Chief Executive Officer are believed to be part of a wider silent presidential succession battle raging in the PF.

At a news briefing today, Mr. Chuumbwe castigated those pushing Mr. Kabimba out of the party.

“We know them, they are busy organizing dark corner meetings at Evelyn Hone College and UNZA inciting students to protest against Mr. Kabimba’s dual roles,” Mr. Chuumbwe said.

He said such moves will not be entertained by the party in Lusaka Province because Mr. Kabimba has demonstrated that he is highly competent and could hold both positions.

“If they are scared of Wynter, they should just come out in the open and say so unlike destabilizing the party. We will not accept such behavior,” Mr. Chuumbwe said.

He also took a swipe at the UPND senior leadership for allegedly insulting President Michael Sata.

“As PF members, we should all take it upon ourselves to protect the name and integrity of our President. We cannot allow our President to be insulted by the UPND and the MMD. We have to defend our President.”

He warned that the UPND will be forced to vacate its Lagos Road Headquarters in Rhodespark by PF youths if its leaders continue to insult President Sata.

“Tabakekalepo palya (they will not stay there) if they continue insulting our beloved President. This is just a friendly warning,” Mr. Chuumbwe said.

Meanwhile, the ruling Patriotic Front PF in Luapula Province says it is confident that the newly appointed Justice Minister Wynter Kabimba will deliver in his new position.

The provincial leadership says the appointment of Mr Kabimba has come at a right when the country is faced with Corruption, delay in the disposal of court cases and says it is confident that the new justice minister will address these issues.

ZANIS reports the provincial Publicity Secretary Gavashi Chikoko to have made the observations in a statement in Mansa , today.

Mr. Chikoko says the Patriotic Front leadership in the province is delighted with the president appointment of Mr Kabimba.

Mr Chikoko has however said the PF leadership in the province is not happy with manner in which the opposition is conducting itself towards the government.

He says the PF needs a credible opposition that will make it restore the distorted economy left by the MMD.

  1. Oh dear…now even this joke of a lawyer has garnered his own cheerleading squad! Jury is still out on which of the many ’causes’ they have managed to confuse with is actually their main one…who cares really?

  2. PF is stopping HH from rallying becasuse they are scared that Sata’s successor will not have time to catch-up, should Sata not be able to stand in 2016. Hence the plot to make sure he is taken out, legally or otherwise

  3. Pathetic Failures at it again! Paya Farmer(pf) when are you guys going to grow? When are you going to start governing the country & stop this nonsese of useless & unprogresive uterances? Why defend Sata? Why warm UPND? Have you run out of ideas on what to do for the Zambian people who voted for you? The Pf ‘s first enemy is not HH & UPND but us the people who voted for you. Otherwise, at the rate pf is losing popularite, HH & the UPND will soon overtake you, unless you change you approach to National issues. I begining to love HH he actually makes more sense than the CNP.

  4. We want to hear what measures pf is putting in place to better the lives of the Zambian people & not this nonsese of warning the unnamed pf officials & UPND. Leave UPND alone & kindly grand HH the permit to held rallies countrywide bcoz he has the right to.

  5. How does one just change subject like that? From talking wynter to talking UPND. No focus and direction whatsoever. Vioneni vimansilu

  6. hahahaa ba Chuumbwe ba BEMBA WANNA-BE, are you ashamed to use tonga? ati “Tabakekalepo palya (they will not stay there) use your language to address people if not english, you sound stup.d. I only respect tongas in upnd, the other tongas like Brian Hapunda.. very useless.

    • I take it you are the duke of edinburgh wanna be for using english instead of ur mother tongue!!!! prince willian wanna be. haha ha haha

  7. @ 4 bizzywizzy, whats wrong with what mubanga is saying. The bigger fool and imbecile is you coz you cant see what the president is doing. Am sure you an hh puppy.

    • we have heard what the president is allegedly doing, we you tell me where I can go to see something physical thing, a road, a school, or anything even a toilet which he accused his predecessor of failing to do

  8. Some blogger has made a mistake, instead of saying Sata insulted too enough in opposition & he doesnt deserve any defence when in power, he said the opposite. Remember those who kill by the sword will die by the sword.

  9. Iwe chipe Chuumbwe you are bring MMD manners to PF. Tukaminyanta ba swine. Don’t think HH has no support. Already that ka chap with a fake PhD is colluding with you Ukwanites to stop him from addressing rallies. Zambians let us defend our hard fought democracy by stopping these bana bangomwa.

  10. Far as I know Kabimba has been a loyal and committed member of PF for a long time. Any machinations to desrupt his status is neither popular nor welcome.

    • Name the university in Australia that Sata gained his PHD.

      Nobody has seen his phd like his birth certificate.
      How does a grade 3 education get you into a reputable university in Australia when minimum standard for entry is year 12?
      Some people will believe shit is chocolate ice cream if the government told them it was good for them.

  11. WHY IS HE USING BEMBA? WHICH PF YOUTHS WILL REMOVE UPND? THOSE WHO WILL BE PAID TO OR THOSE WHO WONT SUPPORT THE INSULTS? PLEASE ZAMBIAS ARNT FOOLS. WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT VISION YOU HAVE AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING TOWARDS THAT VISION FOR ZAMBIA. WHY WOULD YOU ALLOW PF CADRES TO DO THAT? WHERE ARE THE POLICE GOING TO BE WHEN THAT IS HAPPENING? ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT THE POLICE WILL SIT AND WATCH? IF SO THEN GIVE US YOUR REASON WHY?

  12. Interesting happenings in the PF, honestly cant HEMCS grip his ministers to start delivering. Everyone is just opposing everyone with no order. Seems these ministers do not know why they are holding those positions

  13. are the pf cadres in zambia educated?they should emulate the finance minister way of handling matters,and should learn from the past that soon pf will not be the governing party,pf is very parthetic in dealing with social issues and they should continue implementing the mmd policies on the economy,kabimba deserves the ministerial post but the pf c/commette should approve his deputy secretary to take over.you can not serve 2 masters at the same time.otherwise the pf should start looking for youthful leadership who aleast reach grade 12,try also to search for the people who have been in diaspora ,the mentality is far much better and alot of educated zedians who are not expose will benefit greatly inturn.

  14. Insulting Sata is not a solution to UPND getting into state house. Just embrace all people in Zambia and not always depending on one province-Southern to win a notional election. Sata is just like your fathers and insulting him you are also insulting your fathers. Thats why you have no blessings coz of insulting elderly people. Just debate issues than always insulting you bitter and frustrated cadres. shaa.

  15. Kabimba’s position as PF, CEO and as Justice Minister in government are both full time jobs, is he drawing two full time salaries? Perhaps, put another way, are the two jobs really so easy that that one dude can do them part time?

  16. PF is creating enemies daily with the poor ppl on the ground as wel as the rich. So dont involve UPND in your failures. UPND has no time to take yo threats or argue with CNPs! Chaa mana!

  17. hahaaha am told chuumbwe means grave in tonga. this rat is a moving grave that is why his reasoning is dead. how do you bring in UPND in PF wrangles?. am a bemba and staunch suppoerter of HH. i resigned from PF for betraying my vote. party without direction. UPND is not for tongas only. watch the space come 2016. PF will be shocked.

  18. I thought this Chuumbwe could atleast read in between the lines that his enemy and that of Wynter Kabimba is not UPND but Erick Chanda. UPND through its special advisor to the President for special duties Edward Mumbi advised the PF to allow Kabimba to continue holding on to the two positions of Party Secretary General and that of Justice Minister, instead we head insults of him from Erick Chanda who assured UPND that PF was not foolish and is able to read between the lines that UPND is only advising that way because it wants PF to die a natural death. I cannot understand why this Chuumbwe cannot just be brave enough and single him out that Erick Chanda is organising Students to oust Kabimba from the position of Party Secretary General instead of giving foolish warnings to UPND.

  19. “We know them, they are busy organizing dark corner meetings at Evelyn Hone College and UNZA inciting students to protest against Mr. Kabimba’s dual roles,” Mr. Chuumbwe said.

    We now know who pays students to riot and this is not coming from the opposition but from within the ruling party which means we should not hear things to do with tribe or bitterness. can we also have an apology for accusing HH when it was PF that was busying organising students.

  20. Three months after PF won the election i predicted that Guy Scott will be the first high power PF member to resign from PF. I even put a bet on it… any takers?

  21. The owner of the party is weak , frail and nearing step down by choice or nature so the hyenas are salivating and wrestling to take over the remains. it appears the cult leader centralised power in himself so much that a clear succession is a challenge. it is believed that the main contenders are GBM and winter even though there is a Mmembe factor. Mmembe has a vision of becoming the one that chooses presidents for zambia.  With his minnions strategically placed he hopes to control the media waves and intimidate opponents of his puppets.

    • said it before and saying it now. membe is smarter than most of u bloggers here. His IQ is way above average. And does not need politicians to survive. Survived from 1991 till now, even under hostile RB. his so smart and above u no wonder u r talking about him he doesnt know you, nor does he care what u say….. viva membe. long live fred. we love u.

  22. There is no smoke without fire. Africans and Zambians in particular are so gullible. A number of African leaders who have become presidents have consulted T.D. Joshua on their presidential aspirations. I would not be therefore surprised if some of the presidential hopefuls have not consulted him.

  23. Its stupid to use youths to do such dirt jobs of attacking other citizens.If UPND has insulted Sata take them to court rather than taking the law in your own hands.You dont decide who lives there.Infact the so called chief justice should start with you for issuing threats using youths on UPND.No wonder you dont create jobs for youths because you want to use them as thugs

  24. @Byambo – Your boyfriend is only smarter than you, that is the only reason I can see one supporting a double tongued person that Mmembe has turned out to be. either that or you may have benefited from the 17 billion that he owes the Zambian people. Mmembe survive not because he was clever, but because people bought his news paper. With the way he has carried himself, do not be surprised if his paper ends up like times and daily mail whose main buyer is Government. 

  25. Only 7 guns of all things in the world mwe bantu…Chuumbwe is a failed politiciaan like GBM,CHINSIMBWA KAJAMBA,Yellow maize Zakeni and the chief woofler,aaati justice minister…failed to win even a single case in zambia today state counsel…..deliver western province on heat…litmus test

  26. Some people are very dull how do you just change the story, you have problems within yourselves sudenly you bring in UPND and MMD. Chumbwe concentrate on organizing your part. Zambia is not pf and pf is not Zambia. may be u didnt know, please next time try to hide your foolishness and ignorance.

  27. in one year PF is called Pama Fi, Pa fyamba, Paya Farmer, Pathetic Fools, Pa Fimafi, iliko bad.,,,,,

  28. UNDER THIS SATANIC REGIME WE NEED TO PRAY FERVENTLY FOR OUR COUNTRY.AND THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY WILL HEAR US AND DELIVER US FROM THE SHACKLES OF SATANIC PF.

  29. Yes(53), those names are coming from shameless UPND cadres and it’s shameless leadership. What do you expect from people led by shameless HH? It is the DNA of UPND to insult, fight and tribalism.

  30. Sata called RB as AlaBi, he called Mwanawasa as carbage, he called the chinese as infesters. Sata insulted a lot of people when in opposition. So he should think people will not insult him this time. Infact he must be insulted more because he is stupid.
