PF Lusaka District Chairman has said that he now fears for his life after he was attacked on Saturday by some youths from the pro endorsement wing.

“I know some people want me dead because I and other leaders are opposed to this issue of endorsements. They ransacked my offices and they are now looking all over for me. I fear for my life,” Mr. Banda said.

He explained that the Northmead Basic School meeting was not meant to suspend some officials in the province who are working with the pro endorsement wing.

“They came and attacked us at Northmead Basic because they thought we were meeting to suspend people which is not true,” he said.

Rival gangs in the PF yesterday clashed along Independence Avenue and around Northmead Basic school with the other group marching to State House to seek audience with President Sata asking him to drop Wynter Kabimba and Geoffrey Chuumbwe as Secretary General and Provincial Chairman respectively.

And the deepening wrangles in the ruling PF has upset the party’s National Youth Chairman Chishimba Kambwili.

Mr. Kambwili said in an interview that the infighting in the PF must stop immediately.

He revealed that he has launched investigations into Saturday clashes in which some female cadres were severely injured.

Mr. Kambwili who is also Roan MP and Sports and Youth Minister warned that he will suspend all the youth that will be implicated in the Saturday violence at Northmead Basic School.

“It is unacceptable that youths are again at the centre of the confusion. I will not tolerate this indiscipline and whoever is using my youths should stop,” he said.

Mr. Kambwili also appealed to those endorsing President Sata for the 2016 general elections to stop the endorsements.

He said the confusion tearing up the ruling party is because of the endorsements by some leaders of the PF.

Meanwhile, PF in Northern Province has reaffirmed its unwavering support in endorsing President Michael Sata as the candidate for the 2016 general elections.

The provincial executive has since appealed to all Zambians to rally behind President Sata’s continued developmental agenda being experienced across the country.

PF Kasama District chairperson Caleb Monta said in a statement today that the party leadership in the province would remain united and speak with one voice on endorsing Mr Sata for 2016.

Mr Monta said the provincial leadership supported Defence Minister Geoffrey Mwamba’s crusade to float Mr Sata for 2016.

[pullquote]“Those who are opposed to the endorsement of President Sata should leave the PF and form their own party,” Mr Monta said.[/pullquote]

He said there was nothing sinister about the unprecedented calls by Mr Mwamba on endorsing Mr Sata because the Head of State had shown fervor in developing Zambia.

“Those who are opposed to the endorsement of President Sata should leave the PF and form their own party,” Mr Monta said.

He appealed to President Sata to intervene and dissolve the PF provincial executive committee because they did not want to be misled by an alleged rebel group in the area.

  1. So babaric a type of politics….I wonder even how the suspension of any of the purported endorsement forunners gets to bennefit me as a young person…lets persue meaniful agendaz as young peopple unlike being used by most of these greedy politicians who want to create space for the advancement of their personal agenda

  2. We told that ka Kabimba from the time he went against Lubinda, not even forgetting Kambwili himself, he was dropped from Foreign Affairs because of Kabimba’s erected ego. We told him to stay away from Elephants and Hippos, but he decide to hire thugs from Bujimbulu rd… look now Kabimba & that boy from Matero, lets see how you will stop this.

    • Now Where is the president amidst all this bloody fisty exchange??? does it mean that Sata has ng´ongole from both GBM in form of election funds and mmembe in form of press coverage thats why he(Sata) cant voice out?

      And now Kamwili wants to blame those youths/cadres!! those cadre are like dogs who were well domesticated by RB then retrained to be vicious by Sata/kambwili,, if they(dog cadres) find no one to bite like HH, Sekwila, or any other opposition bones, they will attack and bite within the home!! shot them dead or chain them heavily!!

  3. Naizanda mu PF . I don’t know if PF will see the end of 2016 ukwabula ukuipaya. Looks like the boat has lost its driver. nimaimwene nomba. Jokes aside, I am enjoying this. It’s a Sunday and just when I thought I might end up being bored, here comes this Banda story. It’s like watching a sequel of a movie titled ” How to bang kamulamu kobe knowing you will be caught by your wife” produced by the legendary Posa-fimbo (PF) starring : Summer Kabimba, Chishimba Kalukasu, Geoffrey “the stinger”Bwalwa, Badson Banda, Fred “the instigator ” Mume, the vipor Nchito job, Geoffrey “chumbs” chinangwa and the guest starring is no other than “the unpredictable ” Ukwa. Baiche bena Nose-d, ndobo, saulosi, msana wandalama, naiwe Snr citizen, observer ndeteleniko ama popcorn muleke tutambe…

  4. It’s getting worse and more frightening by the day and heading for bloodshed. The president must use his powers to put these hostilities to a stop. He and his fellow PF leaders condemned and mocked the MMD when they had similar problems that led to the attacks on Kachingwe by rival MMD youths. Clearly the PF scenario looks much more serious.

  5. The house is burning. How can we sink so low?
    Jesus said: “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand”.
    So the opposition’ job is simplified, all they have to do is encourage them to tear each other to pieces.

  6. No police permits? and why is the police so quite and what is the boss saying about all this..seems bamwine is not interested in all this squabbles. All is doing is surround babuju around his compound and that’s it. Naizanda!

  7. what do you expect from a team lead by thugs. you were saying upnd are violent people, now since there is no by election to show there violence they have turned against each other. lets watch them until they finish themselves.

  8. From wife battering to fellow party member pounding. its not violence, its a show of love. will see how this goes. this is time for HH or NM to upgrade their political software. PF, wachimo if Sata, God forbid, was to die today, what shall happen? Be mature and lead the nation. these guys are just 2 yrs in power and are already showing us how lost they are. God help Zambia

  9. I cannot understand why kabimba shouldn’t suspend this rich baboon GBM. He was very quick on a case of Lubinda which was here say and not proven

  10. GBM is important in PF because :
    1) He is an MP. 2) He is rich.
    But if he stood as an independent, He may not return his parliamentary seat.
    Kabimba is important in PF because:
    1) He can engage the public politically, intellectually and legally.
    2) He is loyal to MCS (at least on face value)
    3) To some extent he neutralises those who champion tribal politics by saying PF is for bembas.
    Therefore MCS should call for a ceasefire or somehow reprimand GBM in one way or the other.

  11. The house is burning and the owners (Sata and Scott) have their arms akimbo! Do something to save the party, you two!

    • ng`ongole!!!!!! GBM is protecting his investiment in PF and mmembe wants be honourable awarded as controller of PF for making Sata president!!

  12. This confusion that threatens the PF can only be stopped by the President putting a stop to this ill-timed unnecessary endorsements. Thereafter, caution GBM for sponsoring innocent youths to shed blood of their own members. Then, maybe make known his preferred successor. Please PF, elections are still a long way away!

  13. GOD IS SORTING YOU OUT FOR THE VIOLENCE UNLEASHED ON :
    (1) BANYANGANDOLA
    (2) BIGOCA CONGREGANTS
    (3) NAREP PRESIDENT
    (4) ABZ PRESIDENT

  14. Police should only move in to write police assault report. Please zp dont interven let them sort out each other

  15. I just fear the Grizzly Bear may deep his fingers in the barrack armoury. Thats how civil war starts. Move Boog from defence ministry…

  16. When LPM collapsed sojaz never surrounned state house and ZNBC. Why should Boog order soldiers to surround state house when sata collapsed. Watch him…

  17. Kekekekekekeke more pop corn let the beast kill each other atleast there true colours are showing thugs and now the citizens will suffer for voting for kaponyas even in the market or bus stations its kaponyas that kill standards and group of *****s give them votes how dull muzanya ika liko

  18. GBM minister of defence? No, No, No, he is minister of insecurity and must be locked up.

  19. In-fighting — this PF house does not seem to be in order. While I could care less about Zambian politics, I do care deeply for my country. That said, I’m neither for nor against PF. However, since they are on power and affecting my daily life, we have the right [mandate] to criticize them.

    If the PF cannot keep their own house in order, how can they keep Zambia in order?

    #OneZambia

  20. So who are the real architects of “Mapatizya formular” and “Tonga under oaths”? Isn’t GBM, Kabimba Sakeni, Charity Katanga and Mmembe? So the chickens have come home to roost. Enjoy your own laboratory experiments!

  21. Don’t worry guys,those guys have been in opposition for too long and they don’t realise that they are now in power.They need to shake off opposition mentality and act responsibly.Why quarrel over the candidacy of Sata when you know you will be having a party convention where you will endorse or reject him democratically?or do you intend to do it the ANC(figurative) way of no convention just straight into general elections;-)

  22. Goodson Banda!
    Tell us now how it feels to live under a death threat.
    So its true the hunter can be hunted-You are a USEFUL *****.

  23. It is indeed sad to note how disorganised pf is. Instead of fulfilling its myriad of campaign promises pf is busy fighting each other. PF has got no direction at all and will disintegrate when it’s supreme leader kicks the bucket which will be very soon.

  24. Let those that are anti edorsement come out in the open.However,pipo like Chumbwe are moles and must be thrown out. GBM name them tho u have pointed out ka fred. Can Mr Mcs stop this nosense please!Are u quiting soon sir!

  25. Naizanda mu PF . I don’t know if PF will see the end of 2016 ukwabula ukuipaya. Looks like the boat has lost its driver. nimaimwene nomba. Jokes aside, I am enjoying this. It’s a Sunday and just when I thought I might end up being bored, here comes this Banda story. It’s like watching a sequel of a movie titled ” How to ba.ng kamulamu kobe knowing you will be caught by your wife” produced by the legendary Posa-fimbo (PF) starring : Summer Kabimba, Chishimba Kalukasu, Geoffrey “the stinger”Bwalwa, Badson Banda, Fred “the instigator ” Mume, the vipor Nchito job, Geoffrey “chumbs” chinangwa and the guest starring is no other than “the unpredictable ” Ukwa. Baiche bena Nose-d, ndobo, saulosi, msana wandalama, naiwe Snr citizen, observer ndeteleniko ama popcorn muleke tutambe ichila

  26. Chishimba!Chishimba Kambwili re u siding Wynter & Mmembe?Why?Wud u want see Pf under?Dont suspenend endorsement pro they Data’s pipo.U thnk without him u wud have ruled?Dont cheat yrselves Sata is popular & is scaning each one of u.Why thz unbridled lust fr power & where is it comng frm?Too early infightng u re emberasing Pf as if katwishi.Whts wrong?Reorganise yrselves.

  27. THE POLITICS OF ENDORSEMENTS AND SOLE – CANDIDACY BELONGED TO THE UNIP ERA AND WERE REJECTED IN 1991. ZAMBIA SHOULD BE A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY GOVERNED BY A DEMOCRATIC PARTY. I AM SURE THIS IS THE REASON WHY MOST SENIOR PF OFFICIALS ARE AGAINST THESE ENDORSEMENTS AS THEY PORTRAY PF AS AN AUTOCRATIC PARTY THAT HAS NO DEMOCRATIC PROCEDURES OF ELECTING THEIR LEADERS. WHATS WRONG WITH A QUALIFIED PARTY MEMBER CHALLENGING THE INCUMBENT AT A FREE AND FAIR ELECTION. THE LOSER KEEPS QUITE AND THE PARTY CONTINUES WITH GOVERNANCE. I DOUBT IF WE HAVE HAD ANY DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN ZAMBIA SO FAR.

  28. What goes around comes around bwana evil Banda.You very publicly threatened Chanda Chimba so the threat is just coming back to haunt you.I ain’t feeling sorry for you its a self inflicted wound.

  29. The sooner this disorganized PF house of bickering failures implodes and self destructs the better for all of zambia. These Pfailures have not time nor focus for development its only fighting the opposition or between themselves.

  30. Who cares whether you are killed or not. You have already threatened Chanda Chimba so you better get killed by your fellow thugs.

  31. Mr. Goodson (or is it Badson?) Banda, was well advised to keep a distance from PF family confusion. Banda’s photo shows that at his age he could have learnt historical facts as to how PF evolved using the UPP formula. Goodson Banda should have invested his political talent in promoting the welfare of the people of Eastern Province, instead of being used as a mere tool to prop up the interests of Kabimba and Silvia Masebo.

    To borrow a song from a book titled ‘NTONDO’ Goodson Banda should learn the wisdom of the shepherds’ song: {“Opanila Mphika Ali Cheete, Ife Tangosauka.”}. As for Goodson we say: {“Opanila Mphika Ali Cheete, a Banda Angosauka.”}.

  32. This is a clear indicator that the PF is a violent party and that three quarters of it’ s members are savages and indisciplined. I wonder the kind of news coverage that could have been taking place by now had it been that this kind of atmosphere was taking place in the opposition camps. There is no order in the PF because the guys are Kaponyas and dagga smockers.

  33. Don’t question the Police if a go ahead was given to the cadres who met at the school or those who demonstrated at the Post. PF members are free to gather or demonstrate since they are in power. You fake prophets of doom, PF will come out stronger after this stage. PF rules if you can’t accept it you can hang!

  34. but who is that n’ganga who cheated Kabimba that he has presidential qualities?iwe tawakabe presidado pamoyo obe we mbwawe.tontola we chinangwa.

  35. Is intra-party fighting not a crime? Why should it be the President to stop the violence and not the law enforcement agency, the Zambia Police Service? Surely if I can be arrested for fighting with my wife/husband or beating my child why should it not be a crime to attack fellow party cadres or for that matter members of the opposition? What is this? Why are we behaving like barbarians in this age?

  36. It shows that we have politicians and no visionary leadership IN THIS NATION.POLITICIANS ARE CONCERNED WITH NEXT ELECTIONS WHILE LEADERS ARE CONCERNED WITH FULIFILLING VISION TO IMPROVE PEOPLES LIVES.ITS A SHAME THAT PF IS POLICISING INSTEAD OF FULFILLING THE PROMISES THEY MADE.SHAME ON THEM.
