Sinazongwe residents have pledged total support towards their expelled area Member of Parliament Richwell Siamunene and have vowed to shame UPND President Hakainde Hichilema by making sure that his party loses the seat once by- elections are held in the constituency.
The residents who on Friday gave Mr Siamunene a thunderous welcome during his visit to the constituency to attend the burial of Mike Siamize, a UPND cadre and Mr Siamunene’s cousin who died last week in a road accident along the Livingstone road have vowed to teach Hichilema a lesson.
Proceedings at the burial site almost came to a standstill when Hon Siamunene’s ministerial vehicle arrived at Sinanjola village where Siamize has been buried much to the delight of the residents that gathered at the site.
Soon after the burial which was attended by Kalomo Member of Parliament Request Muntanga who represented Mr Hichilema, the residents who could not be controlled by the heavy presence of police officers thronged Hon Siamunene encouraging him to stand strong and be rest assured that he has the support of the people in the area.
A resident, Kenny Sibanda was heard telling Mr Siamunene that people in the area are so grateful to the government for initiating various developmental projects and that they will show appreciation by making sure that they voted for him now that UPND has expelled him.
Mr Sibanda added that residents in the area are fade up with the UPND which is expelling its members of parliament that have accepted to work with the government.
Meanwhile, over three thousand Sinazongwe residents in Chief Mweemba’s area over the weekend received free various medical services during the visit to the area by the mobile clinic from the provincial medical office.
Southern Province Mobile health services Coordinator Agness Chibuye disclosed this in an interview at Siatwinda rural health centre where the mobile clinic has been mounted that the response received from people in Mweemba chiefdom is overwhelming.
Mrs Chibuye told Mr Siamunene who visited the clinic to check on the services that the clinic was giving in the area for a total of five days, the clinic offered the residents various services such as laboratory tests, dental, eye and radiology services among others.
She added that the clinic was able to cater for both medical and surgical problems and that treatment was being given on the spot due to the ready availability of drugs.
Headman Simankawa who was at the clinic to receive medical attention thanked government for the opportunity given to the people of Chief Mweemba saying it is the first time that people in the area have been accorded an opportunity to access such treatment.
And speaking after his visit to the mobile hospital, Mr Siamunene said it is services such as those taken to his constituency that leaves him with no option but to work with the government.
He noted that for a long time, people in Chief Mweemba’s area have not had proper medical care due to long distance from the district hospital, a situation that has been denying them a chance to access proper health care and that because the PF government is a listening one, it has taken such services to the people.
We shall see after the ballots are cast coz Siamunene is eating his own vomit.
PF castigated MMD for procuring mobile Hospitals and they termed it as wasted expenditure.Siamunene is now crediting the health services his constituents were receiving from Mobile hospitals as a PF success story.What hypocrisy?
Some1 will be shamed here…a bitter pill on the way…by the way does this guy think the Bufi Party will win??
Lets wait and see
Bufi,nkubeja,nibboza!
HE WAS CAMPAIGNING USING FUNERAL GATHERINGS/EMOTIONS.
LETS WAIT AND SEE.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO KILL SIAMUNENE OR MONDE & INDEED THE OTHERS, WE, IN THE PARTY, UPND, SHALL EXPEL THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE BETRAYED THE TRUST OF THE ‘PEOPLE’!
FOR EXAMPLE WE ARE AGAINST SUBSIDIES, ARE YOU M’EMBE OF THE POST NEWSPAPER TELLING US THAT SIAMUNENE, MONDE, PONISO & OTHERS SERVING IN EXECUTIVE ARE WITH US ON THIS ONE?
*********************************************************************************
SHALLOW AND CHILDISH THINKING INDEED! SO OBAMA SHOULD EXPEL ALL THOSE IN GOVERNMENT WHO ARE ANTI-GAY, ANTI-ABORTION? etc..
He will see matako ajoka, come election day
Let’s go for a bye-election so that Siamunene can prove that he is not only popular on this site but also in Sinazongwe.
He will see mafiga a joka, come election day
Go siamunene go!Working under the UPND umbreller is not helping the situation in southern province.HH is a crook and so arrogant that he cant even enter heaven with this kind of attitude.He needs some form of exorcism.
Overall working under the umbrella of the PF is not helping the country either. Unless you want to hide behind your finger, the signs on the ground are that we are headed for doom under this government. Lets take Lusaka central constituency as an example, it is under the veep, under PF, it’s in the capital city, but it is in a pathetic state. Midway through the financial year they have already blown the budget. What kind of morons are these in government…
Ma journalist yama online publications sometimes muzichitako edit vamene mulemba, I have noticed that both LT and ZWD don’t to know when to add ‘s’ to a verb or not to. What sort of grammar did you learn for you to come up with such expressions as ‘ ….residents pledges…’.
Many chaps here are so poor, no wonder you hate HH, he worked so well for his riches why did ur forefather work too for some of you have a goal in life, live HH alone, its shameful we are being lead by a GRADE 7 SURE WEN YOU HAVE PIPO WHO WERE AT UNZA? YOUTHS WAKE UP TIME IS NOW?
HH needs to explain to the nation how he amassed all that wealth immediately after the privatisation process.I dont have a problem in him being rich but he needs to open up and tell us how he acquired it.Aspring presidentail candidates must learn to open up but the problem we have is that people like HH are not being transparent and what more if they are given the opportunity to run this country?
Is this not the same party that was strongly against the Mobile Clinics when they were being procured by RB. Reflect before condemn something.
AS A NEW GOVT IN OFFICE U DO NOT HAVE TO ABANDON THE PROGRAMS/ ACTIVITIES INITIATED BY THE PREVIOUS GOVT. THERE HAS TO BE CONTINUITY; THAT’S VERY IMPORTANT AND PROGRESSIVE FOR A COUNTRY SUCH AS OURS. EVEN YOUR PARTY ONCE IT FORMS GOVT ( IF POSSIBLE) SHOULD NOT FOREGO ALL THE PROGRAMS INITIATED BY THE PF.
Batamuchengi umwe koko aswe kono ku Itezhitezhi tulazanda muntu mwinimwini Monde tatumuzanda pe. Kabaya koko ku PF kubalya.
Sinazongwe District is very big. You people will just make Siamunene get a cardiac arrest. Sinanjola, where the funerals were being held is Siamunene’s area. Not everyone in the District is happy with the MP’s decision to cross over, thereby attracting an expulsion leading to the seat being declared vaccant. PF was resoundingly rejected there in the last election.
I was also thinking on the same lines – what do you expect from his relatives in his village where probably his mother, father, brothers, sisters etc are in abandance? Try something else please ba LT
