Zambia Direct Democracy Movement (ZDDM) leader Edwin Sakala has accused former first President of Zambia Kenneth Kaunda of being a Patriotic Front recruiting officer.
Mr. Sakala who was speaking yesterday when he addressed members of the press at Court Yard Hotel in Lusaka said Dr. Kaunda instead of uniting the political party leaders has been in the forefront dividing and misleading politicians in the country.
Dr. Kaunda during one of the general elections told the Zambian people that President Sata was not a presidential material but it is surprising to see Dr. Kaunda today stand up in public and again call out the Zambian people to support President Sata, he said.
Mr. Sakala said it was time that President Sata called for an inter-party meeting and tables the issues affecting the country. He further stressed that the PF government cannot manage to stand alone and find solutions but that they need the support from every Zambian.
He noted that it is very sad to see that most politicians spend their productive time quarrelling at the expense of sharing productive ideas for the benefit of all Zambians.
Meanwhile ZDDM vice president Charles Kafumbo has said his party will any time this week go and camp, fast at the police Headquarters until the police assures them of professional police operations.
Mr. Kafumbo said it is sad that the police have continued to take a partisan role and persecute politicians at the expense of their role to protect citizens.
He said President Sata should further declare a month of prayers for the country after the country has in recent months recorded a number of ritual murder cases.
Mr. Kafumbo said the ritual killings could be a sign that the country is under a curse that needs to be broken.
ZANIS
TOO many jokers in politics…..shut up if have nothing to talk about……
KK has become a PF cadre. Why is this Munshumfwa (to use Roy’s language) ever against the public? I bet he wants to die with as many enemies as possible in order to qualify for real hell.
Nga aba nabo? Mu Zambia namo, awe sure!
true..the man needs to uphold dignity but alas..!we are lost with such leaders..fast and see miracles happen!!
Ati ZDDM, yaba, tu le ikalafye!!
That is why Nelson Mandela is respected the world over. He does not only give kudos to ANC’s Jacob Zuma but to the opposition as well. He knows he is a father of the Nation and he can not afford to divide the country by siding with the ruling party only.
True #5.KK is an embarrassment mweh!
He will be turning 89 in April. Waivering behaviours are early signs of senility. Others like Madiba keep it away somehow. Forgive the old man. Anything is possible after 80 years. In some countries someone above 80 can not even stand trial unless it is a matter of capital offence. They are considered not to be in their normal sate.
That’s not true. Mandela gives kudos to the opposition? When? He always bliksemmed them!
At least he knew when to get out of public life. KK does not seem to know when to stop.
I will also form a political party.
I have never liked Dr Kaunda he destroyed the country I once loved Zambia
ZDDM should sue him
I am disgusted with him.
In politics he should be irrelevant, and rightly so.
Thanks
hahahahaha..you hit the nail on the head..the man messed up!!
Mushota?? Who messed up I thought it was Your UNCLE CHILUBA?? He gave away our Mines and just plundered everything?? Kaunda left when we used to assemble vehicles in Zambia?? What did MMD leave?? They even destroyed our Lovely Zambia Airways?? Which was the true Pride of Africa? Do your Research??
Leave KK alone he knew what he is doing, he is free to associate with or without any political party.. This Sakala is a losser must shut up.
LEAVE THE AFRICAN HERO ALONE, KK IS ZAMBIA’S CHITWEMAMBO, HE PRODUCED NO REFUGE OR STREET CHILDREN. PUBLIC SERVICES WERE FREE. WHAT LEGACY DID MMD LEAVE APART FROM PLUNDER? KEEP QUIET YOU SEEM NOT TO KNOW WHO WAS KK!
ba super Ken is acting like a chief hyena ni ba ‘tasha kali mwi tobo’ ..he shud just retire and play his guitar for us every africna freedom day na pa independence -Bas!!its a shame that politicians like to use him..atleast FTJ didnt like him at all…and was consistent with that..but we all know sata used to be his chola boy back in the day..and only switched to mmd in the dying minutes…but then again who are ZDDM Kanshi..awe ama sido yafula pa zed…
THAT EXPLAINS WHY YOUR THIEVING CHILUBA MESSED UP ZAMBIA! A WISE LEADER SHOULD NOT HAVE WISHED TO DO AWAY WITH WHAT KK HAD LEFT BEHIND AND ONLY DELIGHT IN BRINGING CANNED COCACOLA TO ZAMBIA!!! LEAVE KK ALONE. THE MAN IS THE FATHER OF THE NATION; WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. NOTHING YOU THINK SAY< THINK OR DO SHALL REMOVE THAT FROM HIM…..EVEN YOUR INSULTS!!! FOOLS.
9.1 .. good contribution .. Chiluba paid for his sins.. viva KK .. Long live KK
imwe bana imwe be critical ..the fact is KK is not consistent!that very same mouth of his used to condemn Sata..and Sata also forgot that he was kaundas chola boy and used to condemn kaunda so that he could find himself in FTJs graces..but anyway fact is hes an old man we need to remember him for his good legacy so it would be a good thing if he concentrated on humanitarian aspects and not be these kwindi kojo type politics of today..its beneath a man of his stature…
ba sakala, it is said that: “two heads are better than one.” but not when the other head is yurs ba sakala.
how many followers do you have ba Zambia Disaster and Danger in mult Politics(ZDDM) surely can kk waste his time to come and advice you ba sakala ,ba mumba ba.milupi,ba sakwiba,naka hh akatemwa ukutukana abakulu,it is better kk leaves his wisdom to mature people like H.E micheal sata or chipimo who have respect and wisdom.
The old man should go home to Shambalakale like he kept promising when he ruled. We don’t want people thinking PF is popular because of him
What Rubbish is this??
Somebody needs to lock up that pfool to preserve his remaining dignity if there is still any remaining that is. And yes thats exactly what he has reduced himself to, a PF cadre responsible for recruiting other disgruntled cadres like jazzman.
cursed sperm
# 14 respect the elders don’t insult our father you cursed sperm
Why are you 2 guys cursing your own sperms? Iliko bad is your father, were you there when he did the crucial job of phucking your mothers to produce you?
Waba ito and kanyakula, answer the question. If he did not screww your mothers would you have been here today?
ZDDM should get serious, if your meaning of opposition is to be against the government then good luck. KK is the not PF, I think if you show maturity, he will advise you as opposition Leaders. Problem with Zambia is that all opposition Leaders seem to be bitter. Campaigns are over, work together with Party in Power and move our country forward.
Accusing Dr. Kaunda of being a recruitment officer for this or that party is not going to improve your status as a wise opposition party leader.
Rushing to the press is a sign of unwise and weak leadership.
“Dr. Kaunda instead of uniting the political party leaders has been in the forefront dividing and misleading politicians in the country.”
If you know that uniting political leaders is a remedy for developing the country, why as a wise thinker, don’t you champion the issue but would rather someone else did it. What a schmuck.
You vice party president is trying to organise a mob to camp outside police HQ.
Hiding behind the mob is not democracy.
Why do you guys get elected to parliament if you can’t make use of the institution?
KK supports sata too much. reason is he is preparing for his grand funeral under Sata. But sata cannot be trusted, he is not fit to OUTLAST KK.
KK will be left in the cold. Just because Sata’s father was shibukombe for KK he should not take Zambia as his kingdom. In 1991 we kicked out KK for being a dictator and spoiling Zambians economy.
I have never had any respect for that killer Kaunda. All things considered Kaunda is worse than Sata by million miles – so how can he see the imperfections in Sata?? The people who are giving Kaunda this s.t.u.p.i.d.i.t.y is the people who keep calling him the Father of the Nation. Kaunda is NOT the father of the nation. This nation was delivered by thousands of people who fought in the struggle and died for it, not just one individual. Infact Kaunda came on and destroyed everythng and left even more problems for future leaders including issues around the Barotse Agreement unresolved. So for someone to call him father of the nation as if he fought the struggle alone is a big insult to the rest of other freedom fighters. I’m not an orphan, I definitely CAN’T have a father like him!!
When is KK going to retire? Sakala you may be right. Kaunda has always bee unreliable. In 1971/2 when he was telling us that “there shall be no dialogue with South Africa as long as the white minority regime rules” [check his official opening to parliament in one of those two years], Kaunda was meanwhile holding SECRET talks wth RSA Prime Minister Voster using Mark Chona, Vernon Mwaanga and Zambia’s Permanent Representative at the United Nations Rupiah Banda.Kaunda was meeting with RSA intelligence chiefs in Luangwa Valley while he was cheating Zambians and Nyerere that he was not talking to the RSA UNTIL….Voster called him (Kaunda) a “DOUBLE DEALER.”Only then did KK confess to Zambians that he had lied to them.So, Chi Kaunda nichi double…
President Sata is capable of leading the country he does not need kk.
kk is lost and hungry. I use to respect him but he is losing it, We need statesmen that will be non-partysan
Hater.. Just leave KK alone.. go try and keep your political party strong and compete with Sata’s .. Attacking those that praises Sata will do you nothing 🙁
puleeeeez, dont insult KK. you ungratefuls. KK did more for this country than what a million of you put together will EVER do in your miserable lifetime.
What did he do? Should I thank him for doing his job??? I have also been working all my life. If he wants to be respected let him go back to his retirement hole and enjoy his old age. Some of us are sick and tired of being seen like fools: he killed a lot of people and he wants to come back now looking like an Angel??? The more he shuts up probably the more people will forget his sins. At the moment, he makes people vormit. I think I understand Chiluba’s actions now.
12.1.. when were you born?? Please read Zambian history ..
I sometimes feel there is a special reason why the old man has gone partisan.It could be the realisation that his earlier utterances that Sata was not a presidential material were careless issued and now he wishes to apologise symbolically.
The quality of Zambian politicians in the opposition is not encouraging, the worst topic someone can pick for a press conference is KK. The major problem with this third class parties is that they don’t know when to keep quiet when they have nothing to say to the nation. Officially, Zambia has two opposition parties UPND and MMD, the rest are just political parties on paper. The comments from this party just shows how thin the line between personal vendettas and what the party believes in. These are the remnants of fake parties MMD created to fracture the opposition, the paymaster is broke and now they drifting aimlessly in the wind. If they are so scared of an old man, can they contain an energetic young man?
bull’s eye!
walasa boyi!
