The Patriotic Front in Lusaka province is disappointed with the continued attack on President Michael Sata and the PF government by political analyst Dante Saunders.
PF Lusaka Province Chairperson Geoffrey Chumbwe said the incessant and ill-informed criticism on government and President Sata by Mr Saunders is an embarrassment to himself and the people he is purporting to be supporting.
Mr Chumbwe said in a statement released to ZANIS in Lusaka today that Mr Saunders is not capable of offering genuine criticism because he was bitter and frustrated that he failed to get a job in the PF administration.
He said the PF has been reluctant to respond to Mr Saunders ranting because it is well aware that the motives behind his criticisms were not national but rather selfish and personal.
He said the political analyst conveniently aligned himself to President Sata’s election campaign for the 2011 general elections in the hope of snatching a job.
Mr Chumbwe charged that when his tactics backfired and did not yield the desired results, Mr Saunders got frustrated and has now turned himself into an official critique of the PF government.
He said it is not the PF government’s fault that Mr Saunders is ill-fitted for the progressive agenda that President Sata’s government is vigorously pursuing, saying if Mr Saunders was useful, he would have found space in the current administration.
The Lusaka PF Chairperson also charged that Mr Saunders has nothing to showcase as his achievements, adding that the PF government is not in the habit of awarding jobs to people who cannot make any meaningful contribution to improve the welfare of the Zambian people.
Mr Saunders has been an all round critique of President Sata’s government, criticising government policies and programmes at any given chance he finds.

You haven’t specified what the current Zambian president has destroyed or undone which was done by his predecessors.

Ba LT please read the following and revise this articles headline:
critique – a detailed analysis and assessment of something, esp. a literary, philosophical, or political theory. So you see, a critiquing (verb) is what Mr. Saunders vis a vie the critic, is; describing him as a critique is just bad journalism even when you’re not a trained editor/ journalist.
However, let me not be ‘negative Nancy’ and say I think your enduring efforts to bring us the news is exemplary and I hope you continue.
@ TNE DON,to hell with you lousy bastard.Which side of the coin are you?Are you blind to see the changes in this government?Think before you bark!
Spot on
Is this what can come out of State House? You Chellah boys have learnt the dirty language from King Ukwa very fast. In case people have forgotten, all the dirty language on the blog is the only thing this sick man in State House has taught Zambians. I don’t know what Super Ken sees in his old boy to give him credit. Maybe it is old age taking the better of Old Ken.
What Dante is gospel truth. Light will never mix with darkness!
What Dante is saying is gospel truth. Light will never mix with darkness!
And masonists will never mix with Christians whatsoever. You will keep on dreaming and continue to be bitter until PF rules for the next 18 years, and 10 moths. You are all ***** from the so called ng’ombe ilede.
what is this drama of using the word BITTER in everything mu Zambia kanshi? Pa radio, there are just BITTER, Pa TV, they are BITTER, Mu newspaper BITTER, Mu tuma statements BITTER, Pa kunya BITTER. Get a grip of yourselves.
@ macgyver! ´PF will rule for the next 18years?.. my foot! with that guy with prostate cancer sitting in diapers daily and can´t sit properly on the office chair? advise your nutty head bitter snakes they are running out of time… check the perfromance polls on zambia intelligence news, people are losing faith in your PF very fast…wake up!
my advise to you, my govt., is to stop responding to every jim and jack who utters anything that is negative. at times, its the way you come out, in attempting to respond, that sends wrong signals to us such that we start wondering wether you are fit or misfits in the governance game.
at times use the ‘silence is golden’ adage, and work quietly.
after all we all want to see results and not accussations and counter accussations as the situation is now.
stop it please!!
Judging by the fact that he has not responded to this article, I tend to have respect for him.
He’s still pondering on it just wait it will come.
I did apply for a position in the government, I was turned down, does it mean I cannot criticize the government just because someone better or a relative of a cadre got the job?
you will see them by their language and deeds. Zambia will be under dictatorship shud pipo vote for this scary and un compromising heartles party. Let pf work. No insult to the president will make pipo hate him. U r jast decampaining yourselves. Saunders is a cadre not political analyst. Wasnt he at the rally in kabwata? Impeachment? It cant happen in this zambian parliament, you have less mps soon. Others had advocated to frustrate the budget passing but it did. Cant they see????? Booooooooooooo to dante.
Pathetic Failures. It has taken you 16 months to screw the country!
PF-PROPER FATHERS.SAUNDERS IS A JOCKER WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE WANTS IN POLITICS,TO CALL HIM POLITICAL ANALYST IS AN INSULT TO DISTINGUISHED POLITICAL SCIENTISTS AND SCHOLARS.THE MAN IS A SCATTER BRAIN OF A POLITICAL PRETENDER
Only fools like Chuumbwe are happy to work for PF. Even Gerry Chanda is ashamed of PF failures and yet he is more PF than Chuumbwe. Rubbish
Just like Fred Mmembe was a frustrated critique who failed to get a job with MMD!!
Mmembe cannot be frustrated to get a job from anyone. He has more power of the pen than any of you coward bloggers. That is why most of you mankusa will insult with false names. If you are men enough, put your photos and full names. Mmembe’s paper is not hidden. In fact you always buy a copy just to keep abreast of happenings. To the contrary, Mmembe would not read the ZWD but you are compelled to read the mighty Post. Mmembe can destroy or build Hakainde or Nevers with the pen. He is more placed that even a president of under 5s or Nevers’.
@1 is the name don completed or you needed to add k to read ‘the donk’
amafina pus dripping from my castrated balls cant think properly.zambia twasebana na cnp
I LIKE THIS DANTE SAUNDERS,THIS MAN IS INTELLIGENT.LISTENED TO HIS INTERVIEWS ON MUVI TV WAS TOKING FACTS,WISH WAS D PRESIDO NOT THE FAKE 1 I KNOW.MY ADVISE IS JST FIRE ALL MINISTERS AND DEPUTY MINISTERS LIKE MASUMBA,KABIMBA ETC LEAVE ONLY GIVEN AND BRING ALL MMD EX MINISTERS MINUS NAMUGALA U LL SEE HOW CIMBWI YO GOVT WILL SHINE NOT THE PIPO U VE HAVE NOW.
Hi Dr Kaseba,am sure you need a holiday,you are over working yourself too much operating the dialysis machine,monitoring that fragile heart,dementia setting in quicker than anticipated.ala bwafya.No wonder you dont even show off on TV any more.Yaba.Anywhere to tell your comedian old man to stop harrassing my president RB.This will really enrage the population and that will be his end,kolwe iweeeeeeee
Ala iwe ulimbwa iyabula umucila. Jealous you have for the President and PF will take you nowhere. You cannot even compare yourself or indeed any 1st Lady in this country to Dr Kaseba. You will keep on insulting but you will not remove them from plot one. Even in 2016, you will not be near state house my friend. You losers have continued insulting and wishing the president death. Death is for everyone, I am sure you have lost your relative (s) who never got sick. Wanya mafi waba amat…le ukufoota kwati ni pwapwa makaaka iwe. Waba umusula ukununka nga mabisi.
I can not get past the glaring misuse of English in the headline, can you spot the mistake? Anyway…it sounds more like the man ( Saunders) is being being ‘attacked’ for one of many reasons, mainly that he’s pointing out failures of the people holding the reins now.
I REGRATE VOTING FOR THE PF AND DANCING NAKED IN THE STREET WHEN THEY WON.
ARE THESE THE ANSWERS AND INSULTS PF BLOGGERS CAN BE UNLEASING ON US FOR SIMPLY QUESTIONING ON WHAT WE SEE THAT THEY ARE GOING AGAINST THEIR OWN MANIFESTO?
SHOULD WE JUST WATCH EVEN WHEN WE SEE THAT THEY ARE HEADING IN A DITCH.
IF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING, SHOULD THAT NOT ALERT THEM TO CALL FOR A SERIOUS MEETING TO ASSESS THEMSELVES WHAT HAS GONE WRONG AND MAKE CORRECTIONS INSTEAD OF BURING THEIR HEADS IN THE SAND AND START CALLING US BITTER YET WE ARE THE ONES WHO VOTED FOR THEM.
POWER REALLY CORRUPTS!

Breaking News!!!! You, your mother, father and wife are now defecating in their beds because they are bed-ridden with envy.

Saunders is a stupid boy. As for UPND pliz twaleni ubupa na amafi uko, mulenunka ba U5. You are *****s and you will never rule Zambia. How can you win an election when you are just inclined to one province and tribe? You stupid UPND stop lying to yourself please. Sata and PF are here to stay.
