The Patriotic Front (PF) in Northern Province has added its voice in condemning UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema’s derogatory remarks against Republican Vice President Dr. Guy Scott.

PF regional secretary Evarist Chela says it is unfortunate that Mr. Hichilema has developed a habit of using unpalatable language against Government leaders.

Mr. Chela charged that PF members in Northern Province are very angry with Mr. Hichilema’s unwarranted attacks on Dr. Scott.

ZANIS reports that the PF provincial secretary said this in an interview in Kasama, today.

He noted that Mr. Hichilema’s utterances border on racial intolerance, which should be not allowed in the country.

All Zambians regardless of their status in society must respect Dr. Scott, as Republican Vice President,, he said.

The PF provincial secretary has since advised Mr. Hichilema to stop his alleged hate speech as it detrimental to national unity.

Mr. Chela further warned the UPND leader to immediately stop attacking Government and PF leaders as the ruling party will not sit by but react also.

Yesterday, Mr. Hichilema was quoted a private tabloid as having issued derogatory remarks against Vice President Dr. Guy Scott.

So far, a cross-section of society has criticized Mr. Hichilema for his uncivilized language against Government leaders.

The ruling party leadership in Kabwe , today, joined in condemning opposition leader alleged insults on the Vice President last week.
District PF vice chairperson Leonard Nsama, says that it was unfortunate that a leader of Hakainde’s calibre could resort to insulting elderly people in his quest to seek popularity

  1. Just forgot about this issue and forge ahead, arguing and condemning HH will not yield anything, he is a hard nut to crack. Akubombenifye ba PF naimwe, ukulila lila kwati twaiche sure! This issue is over and buried!

  2. ngati muzungu apusa.. ni kumuuza!! ala
    I see nothing wrong in telling off a stupid whiteman.. just as well i see nothing wrong in telling off a stupid black man..

    • Ndobo have u been to school? There is a difference between racism and an insult And blacks know that better than any other race

    • @81e8ed9958fc6e3e1596fe7316026242:disqus ,, have you ever heard of an animal called taxonomy? we are classified so is everything else…go and research my boy!!!! now you mixing insulting and racism to sound learnt,,hahahahah

    • Taxonomy doesn’t classify anyone according to race let alone IQ you dimwit Its about organisms. Race is a social creation

    • RACE itseft is clasification, thats why you are called black or negro… when you are black you then are called black,, muntu and when you are white then you are called white.. muzungu.for social interration or otherwise.

      when you are a blackman and you act stupid,,then you become stupid blackman.. muntu opusa.. when you are whiteman and act stupid then you become stupid whiteman …muzungu opusa.. as simple as that

    • Race is not a scientific classification. Thats why timiuzila ati endani kusukulu. Anthropologists and Sociologists abandoned racial classification in the 1970s because it cant classify anyone. Its for example not possible to define a negro or a black (Or a white or Caucasoid etc) without incorporating any other race in this definition. Who is a black? There are people who are blacker than Africans in Asia so why do you call only some black peoples as black? Race is based on superficially classifying people according to what you see and as such this classification is inherently biased, limited and unreliable. Do you know that Abraham Lincoln has so-called black blood? But did he look like a black man? So is he a Caucasoid or negro?

    • mwaiche you donot know what you are talking about,, if Lincoln had black blood as you put then he was mixed race,, mukaladi!!!… number two,, within the black race there are sub divisions from those in papua to africa,,,same goes for other races,

      in zambia.. a white man is a muzungu and a black is a muntu

    • I know what Iam talking about. I ve worked on numerous racial projects for my university. You dont.. because you are inherently racist may be you went through too much racial discrimination in colonial times and that is subliminally affecting your perception of life. Despite having had Rhodesian education which I thought was better since my dad went through it you just cant grasp modern day issues. Mukaladi? thats just a convenient way of classifying humans you cant classify. Dont you know that everyone on this planet is mixed blood? Go read old man

    • And go read that response from Higher Taller to you which I copied and pasted for you but which your fellow geysers at LT have censored. He gives you a freee lesson about the bantu peoples

    • From Higher TaLler
      Higher Taller ndobo • 21 hours ago ?
      Clearly you had poor education. That’s why you are so obsttinate. In Chinyanja we say Muntu wakuda to mean black person. In Chibemba which you learnt from that rhodesian Dongo-you are citing, Umuntu wafita is a black person Umuntu wabuta is a white person The Bantu peoples is a term used to group africans who identify humanity by the words ‘Abantu, antu, bato, tu this differentiates them from most central and west africans including nilotes, like the maasai and tutsis, nubians and khoisan. Chifita is not abusive it just means a person of a darker hue And I thought those who passed through Rhodesian education were clever!! Ai mwee!
      (Can’t help but snigger)

    • Its not only the stupid part that’s caused this reaction. The UPND is known for insulting opponents regardless of age or status. But why refer to someone’s race? Unless you have an inferiority complex or the opposite.

    • ‘They do it all the time in the Western world when they talk about black people. Why do Africans raise a stick over referring to a white man as “white”. Inferiority complexes obviously.

    • So what if they do it all the time in the Western world? Does that make it right for HH to do the same? Or is it pay back time since he spent a while there? Some levels of reasoning a scary!

    • I agree with Ruth. The fact of the matter is, Scott can call you black man, and you will be grinning and amused. This is all imbecilic outrage.

    • Exactly! Well put al. And for all those supporting HH, please don’t get offended when I say HH is a the biggest Tonga stupid *****!

    • Leave a message…Since when has the term ‘White Man’ ever been racist? Should we also add ‘black man’. You people are really fake. Honestly you’re useful *****s!

    • When that dullard under5 next goes to the commonwealth squealing for assistance like a toddler they will remind his small miniature brain of his ******* utterances.
      Sad state of affairs you feeble minded chaps should get more exposed on current issues, some of us live in the minority like Dr Scott and know what we are writing about here.

    • Leave a message…Since when has the term ‘White Man’ ever been racist? Should we also add ‘black man’. You people are really fake. Honestly you’re useful *****s!

    • if he was we wouldn’t even argue. There are such Tongas, even politicians, and we would even support you if you called them that.

  3. This Under5 **** will never be in plot One. The chap is a chauvinistic sexist ****** pig and also a racist bigot; How would you feel if you were a minority in a country to be called the most stupid Blackman? Why can’t that **** call Dr. Scott a politician instead or why describe him by his skin colour. If that **** used such vulgar language as a politician in USA or UK the vile **** would have been packing his bags and resigned already.

    • Leave a message…Maxwell there’s nothing special with your ceremonial VP. He is a white man and he also happens to be stupid. For someone who strongly believes that HH will never be in State House, you do certainly spend a lot of time writing about him.

    • I would not be surprised if you are a crackhead. You can afford to insult HH but HH himself must never insult anybody. Do you know what it feels to be called: “under5” etc?

    • Well, well, well. You see, in UK, USA and the majority of the civilised world, there is something called RULE OF LAW with independent Police and Judiciary. Unfortunately, in the Republic of Zambia, thanks to MMD sponsored and enacted Immigration Act, the non Zambian are not protected by the Constitutional Provisions [Art.11(a)] and are not allowed to seek legal protection and that is the reason why Hon. Minister Lungu has a wild day deporting the non Zambians contrary to the principles of Natural Justice. Let us agree that today Zambia is a RACIST COUNTRY.

  4. HH is racist but PF shouldn’t pontificate about this. If their President had to open his mouth he would say similar stuff. From my experience, Zambians are inherently racist.

  5. When Scott went to Lukulu and said he was there not to campaign but in his capacity as vice president, he was simply saying that we are all S…. that we dont know what he was actually doing. But since we are not all S…., this makes him the most S…..white man.

  6. Yet again, more fabrication by PF. It’s like a reoccurring malaria illness and frankly becoming monotonous.. Last time UPND leaders ended up in Jail for murder based on total fabrication. We all know how that played out. Before that there was another fabrication that HH made his wealth thru privatization of companies. We know how the investigations played out. There is a saying “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me”. So, try something else guys, this lie has gone past its use-by date.

  7. Leave a message…You’re the tool been used by Mmembe. All the ka ma ***** has to do is write a stupid editorial and all of you his useful *****s will sing along in chorus.

  10. Malabish, racial intolerance just because he is white? What about the statements made by the PF about the Chinese during the run up to the elections. What about the riots on the copperbelt against somalians? Fcukn hypocrite

  11. Editor, I notice that in Zambia its only an insult
    because HH said it…..
    1.Kenneth Kaunda called Zambians ‘Stupid
    *****s’……Zambians stood by and even laughed
    out loud,no govt spokespoken or media
    condemned that not even the private media.
    2.Wynter Kabimba recently called the entire
    UPND leadership including HH as ‘Dogs of
    War’…….the entire Zambian population was
    mute.
    3.The Post Newspaper has repeatedly and brutally
    assaulted others with the word ‘stupid’ and yet
    Zambians sit back and actually cheer the editor
    on. The govt spokesperson and the outspoken
    NGOs will lock themselves in their offices reading
    the Posts unpalatable writings.
    4.President Sata has used more demeaning,
    derogatory and insulting words, expressions and
    remarks than any Zambian I know. Its actually
    insults, jokes and lies that have gotten him into
    state house and nothing else. I have even lost
    count of the numerous accounts of our president
    baptizing his opponents with insults and
    inappropriate remarks both as an opposition
    leader and head of state.Do you remember what
    the president said about George Kunda’s widow
    and you all kept quiet and simply murmured in
    the corners of your living rooms? Do you
    remember what HH said about Nawakwi and you
    all stormed out of your rooms into the streets just
    to demonize HH? Sata called mwanawasa a
    cabbage, RB nyama soya, Chanda Chimba as
    Chanda Cimbwi,Mpongwe women as vinkubala,
    HH as under 5 etc …..and when HH likened Sata’s
    style of governance with that of a clueless hyena
    you all descended on him with shocking speed.
    5.Hon GBM honourably used the expression
    ‘bushe nindalama shaba wiso bafikala’…….and
    that according to ‘Zambians’ is no insult unless
    HH is linked to it.
    6. Please add more examples here.
    There are many examples of foul expressions that
    have been abused by our politicians to score
    political points or indeed offend their opponents
    but HH is one who has used his Nyanja phrases
    very accurately to summarize his analysis. In
    brief, lets not selectively vilify HH for making a
    statement of fact. While its not clear whether HH
    actually said those words or not it is clear that
    Scott’s actions fit HH’s alleged description and if
    HH didn’t say it he should have said it because its
    true. Can you imagine what amount of
    condemnation HH will get from you,ECZ, civil
    society, churches, the media, govt etc if he goes
    campaigning after the campaign period in any
    election?

  12. Why should he apologize for telling the truth racial? Who isn’t racial or tribal in zambia please that’s rubbish kamimbya insulted a group of people in the upnd and frankly speaking no one cares about guy scotch

  13. Upset with HH but happy with law breakers. There is nothing so annoying in HH’s statement, it’s that the PF wants to do anything with impunity. A Muzungu has been known to be fair, strict to the law, very respectful etc. I two people promises me something one a white and another a black man, I will more likely believe the white man because they are known to keep their words. But what our muzungu vice president is doing is so shocking. Ine nikalibe kuonapo muzungu upusa ngati scot.
