Patriotic Front Lusaka District Chairman Robert Chikwelete has been suspended from the party.
According to the suspension letter obtained in Lusaka, Mr. Chikwelete has been suspended for masquerading as the party’s Lusaka District Chairman.
He has also been suspended for his role in constituting a parallel party committee structure which President Michael Sata directed that should come to an end immediately.
PF Lusaka Provincial Chairman Geoffrey Chumbwe clarified that President Sata when launching the pave Zambia project in Chawama did not appoint Mr. Chikwelete as PF Lusaka District Chairman.
“This issue was clarified by his Honour the Vice President in Parliament when he made it clear that Mr Chikwelete is not the District Chairman,” Mr Chuumbwe said.
He said Mr Chikwelete has shown lack of respect from party leadership by publicly attacking Vice President Dr Guy Scott.
“I want to warn that all those found hanging around Mr Chikwelete that they will also go the same way he has gone,” he said.
Mr Chuumbwe said also announced that party officials who were recently dropped after Mr Chikwelete took over the leadership of the party should return to their posts.
“All those people who were affected by the coupe d’état should consider themselves reinstated,” he said.
Mr Chuumbwe announced that he will recommend the expulsion of Mr Chikwelete at the next Central Committee meeting.
Hahahahahahahah can chikwele please fast form his own party of chawama no honor among thieves
Zambians have never known the meaning of the word CONFUSION any better than they have under the PF. This party and all it’s circus perfectly meet the definition of CONFUSION.
no honor among thieves
I cant wait for Nevers Mumba’s trial.It will be so easy to prove that Sata thrives in confusion.It reminds me of the “Chiluba is a thief”trial.
I defy this undemocratic decision to remove me from the undemocratically availed leaderschip…!!
I thought after 2yrs will be hearing of : countries dept reduced ,inflation goes down ,unemployment rate reduced. But we are just hearing of chikwelete this chikwelete that.
Bintu bikingya ba mwisho
Bintu bya tama
He only masquaraded as Lusaka district chairman (which is minor). Mr Sata on his part masquaraded as the 90day miracle worker,a zambian political messiah,a devout catholic who is a pathological liar and a Mr -know-it-all. Who is worse?
hahahahahahahah
You are right! In fact I am still trying to figure out how this guy (whose name sounds like rattling anklets) was able to gain mileage, garner news coverage and even share a podium with the Republican President.
You guys still dwell on 90 days? A hyna was walking outside the house at night. the baby was crying in side the house. the woman in the house was telling the baby that she will throw it outside so that the hyna could eat it if the crying wont stop. The Hyna sat there to wait for the baby. Same with the people who sound educated but dwell on 90 days.
Iwe ngwele, hyena samvela cizungu.
Let the drama begin..we need prayers for this party……
These people are just bringing more confussion to our ears. who could be behind all this nonsense? Is it Wynter or GBM or Officials on the grassroots? Please stop disturbing us with your own problems in your own house. The way this issue is being looked at, its Unproffesional. How do you say all those found associating with Chikwelete will be dealt with, suppose he appeals this case, what are you going to say. Iyo yeve kaya……
Look, Chikwelete means Nkongole….Credit….He is just a problem…Move on PF! You can not start fighting your Vice President. Why?
Chumbwe and Chikwelete are pons in this game of chase. They should let the real guys sling it out. The cartel and the mafias must come out face to face and sort themselves out. Sata is too too small to handle this issue. Can he suspend GBM waste still Kabimba. As I know GBM is Chikwelete just as Kabimba is equal to Mmembe.
IT IS THE POLITICS OF KABIMBA. THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THE KABIMBA GROUP WINS BY STOPPING THE CHALLENGERS. AT THE POINT THAT THE PRESIDENT DIRECTS FOR ELECTIONS, IT IS AGAIN INDISCIPLINE TO BEGIN TO SUSPEND OTHER IN ORDER TO EASILY WIN. THE PARTY MUST QUICKLY STOP IT….
Whoever coined ati ‘Chimbwi No Plan’ was absolutely accurate. What a confused party!
Why can’t they ask Mr Sata himself what he meant by introducing Chikwelete as Lusaka district ‘Sichuuno’ insteard of this ‘vinani mwamene wainvelela’ they are doing? Guy Scot support Kabimba and its easy to understand why he is saying Chikwelete was not this or that but Mr Sata is mute. This is another kafwafwa brewing in the ruling party.
What we are interested in is to eliminate Zambia’s chikwelete(debt) not suspend a PF cadre with a similar name; then we will be talking.
We do not need Chikwelete..So Chikwelete MUST go just like we do not need to be in debt!
This is now turning out like the show in MMD involving the self- proclaimed die hard youth chairman Lusambo. According to news, Chumbwe yesterday survived lynching by bus loads of Chikwelete’s supporters through quick action by police.
and who has given you Chumbwe the mandate to ‘discipline’ Chikwelete.
are you the disciplinary committee on your own in PF? can you have the authority on your own to suspend/fire a Presidential Appointee?
chimbwi no plan at work zoona!
what message r u sending about your president? in short you are saying your president did not think well to appoint Chikwelete.
wapya munzi zoona!
Mr president …The party is developing ungovernable alarming levels of indiscipline.Can you call for a central committee meeting immediately and sort out issues once and for all,be in charge control the confusion ,where is the Sata we knew? ..ya!
The president couldn’t care less what is happening, it’s all just stress to him elo ama doctors told him to avoid stress and rest continuously. His goal was to be president and that was it. All the responsibilities that come with being president, from his perception, these are things that will sort themselves out. The reason things moved well under MMD, despite the stealing and stuff, is that the appointments were based on merit and ability to do a good job in one’s designated area of appointment. That was why bene RB could even afford to roast goat meat ku back yard ya State House coz he knew he had competent people. If you had to be objective and honest with yourself Chinyama my friend, deep down you know your party is filled with incompetent people.
Coward Chuumbwe (Grave) has finally gathered a bit of strength after keeping mute during the anti summer demos! Anyway he is digging his own grave because when GBM comes back second round both Winters and Graves will be gone for ever!
Why should Chikwelete listen to what Scott was saying when he was appointed by the President? Isn’t that the worst feeling inferiority complex – you mean Scott can overule the President?
Does Scott have more powers than our black President when he cant even act as one? These minions never learn lessons! Anyway, the real enemy within PF is white man Gay Scott who is undermining SataN all the time.
The storm has rocked the wooden boat. The cadres are confused each one peddling in opposite direction rockin the bwato further. The captain , the merchant of confussion already finished his voyage and doesnt care anymore.
But at the airport the president told Chikwelete ati ‘mwabombeni’….meaning the man has blessings from the highest office. IN SHORT UKWA IS THE CAUSE OF ALL THESE PROBLEMS
ya awe mwandi, i wonder wat next for chikwelete now. toothless, vernoneless cobra just watching from the tererances cant spit any more
And the beat goes on…
If there is anything painful about politics, it is to practice politics of the belly where you find yourself at the mercy of those feeding you. Chumbwe is being fed by Kabimba and Chikwelete by GBM. Their strength lies in the finger feeding them. Should it be cut, their survival is in great danger. Even when you are wise, you look foolish in the eyes of masses when you practice politics of the belly.
Ba Chuumbwe, I think to be honest, bwana Winter made you what you are and you report to him. Those were special instructions from your boss, bwana Kabimba to have Mr. Chikwelete suspended. Your time is coming very soon and you know it. You have played your cards carelessly. If among a grouping wisdom is lacking, such mistakes are a must. Winter is going with you. You could have taken your time, everything has got time bwana.
No!! But Chikwelete is not serious! Tell me, which party will allow its juniors to insult the President or the Vice President?
Nazo nkhani. Bwato is going down. Is this the same Chuumbwe who was suspended in 2008 from MMD after he talked about Mugabe? Today he has courage to suspend others also. Mr President act fast before we submerge completely
Ifwe ni pa Bwato nafuti mu 2016… there is no party which has done projects like PF even people who used to walk in sand are now walking on tar road… Pepe mebo ndabotela Mudala Sata.
This is good news. Chikwelete went to that office using force. He used violence to get to those offices. Any sane person even if you hate kabimba cannot support such conduct.
Even if they tried to lynch Chumbwe should not be supported. It is good move because then we will see those hiding behind this Savage Chikwelete come out. We will see what will happen at the displinary committe that is where we will see who are behind chikwelete.
It is Sata who appointed Chikwelete – are you mad? What are you waiting to see? Chuumbwe is a doomed failure who cant even discipline a goat!! Cry baby you foo.l!!
please expel him from the lovely party.
GBM IS THE MAIN THUG,SUSPEND HIM TOO.
Intraparty politics. They will settle down. They are just trees rubbing against each other.
In the meantime, the issue is the budget. We need to know how much will be allocated to the Constitution repeal process at the end of the debate by parliament. To me this is very importatnt.
WHO VOTED 4 U CHUMBWE? U WERE ALSO APPOINTED HANDPICKED BY SATA FROM MMD.OPENLY THE MAN WHO APPOINTED U CALLED CHIKWELETE DISTRICT CHAIRMAN.SATA SHOULD ALSO BE SUSPENDED 4 INCITING COUP WITH PF RANKS
The President is giving people the chance to comply without noise, too much kafuffle. Chikwelete is expected as far as I am aware to vacate the Lusaka district office. Wynter Kabimba is not expected to be removed. The contest is over. That’s as far as I am aware. If it does not happen then hePresident Sata has to take some steps, that is obvious. He is just trying to be gradual. He is giving everyone a chance to keep their pride. My understanding of that statement is very straight forward, it says close down the parallel structures. You don’t have to go on by mentioning small people like Chikwelete by name,” he said.
Vice-President Scott said President Sata would not allow himself to be bullied by cadres. “He President Sata is not going to allow himself to be bullied and nor is…
How can there be a house within a house? For sure confusion would be the head of this house, a Parallel party in my understanding was master minded by those who felt had no direct power to contribute or control the actual party or to console them when ever they felt less important. This wouldnt go problem free even with the most loyal servants, there is bound to be a Judas Iscariot obviously, i wonder why they allowed it to even come this far, nowonder the president has been mute on all the wrangles in the party, he must have real Data to the real situation therefore, reacting would prompt a time boom to blow up, wauw… this is too much deep stuff going on in this party.
I remember the bible story when JESUS and his disiples were on the sea and there was a storm. The disiples called on Jesus who was sleeping to serve them. When Jesus work up He commanded the storm and it was all quite. Could we learn something on the happening in the PF.
And you believe that crap? Do you know how a storm is formed, how much energy goes into its formation and its dissipation? Simple minds are always taken for an ice-cream ride.
The suspension is long overdue?
Next must be GBM and his sister Kapata, the chief peddlers of lies.
GBM, without any evidence, calls us riffraff. Kapata is peddling rumours around our Secretary General!
Ala mukalaculapo fye if you stick by the 90 days song of the doomed messiah of Zambia, that Cobra which is now tamed and has lost all its venom at State House. Just work hard so u don’ t suffer. The man and his minions just used u and they got what they wanted so, it’ s advisable that u just find something worthy to do than criticising him day in and day out. The truth of the matter is that he shall never come to your rescue because he’ s not solution oriented to Zambia’ s social and economic hardships. It’ s no doubt that by the end of the PF era, the economy of Zambia will be back in the woods just like the way Kaunda left it. It’ s time to tighten your belts otherwise, the going is tough.
The suspension is long overdue!
Good job Chuumbwe. Mr Sata needs space to work. What does Chikwelete know about being in the opposition for close to 10 years – was he even there to come here and disrespect senior leaders who sacrificed their lives just for him to be able to have a free ward chairman’s role. This is the only country where a ward chairman can insult a Republican Vice-President within the same party so blatantly. What Guy Scott invested in PF during their struggle to get into power can keep Chikwelete and his future generations comfortable for a while. Nothing can justify the disrespectful manner in which Chikwelete, a ward chancellor, has spoken back to the Vice President: So Chuumbwe is right. The rest of us Zambians want the party to focus on our livelihood 100%.
OMG!
where have you been?
good points there.
I WONDER IF WE WILL HAVE GOOD RAINS THIS SEASON. THE CONFUSSIONS ON THE GROUND MAY AFFECT THE HEAVENS.
Confussions my ribs break
CHIKWELETE IS PART OF THE TRIBAL CLIQUE FIGHTING KABEMBA WHY IS IT THAT ONLY BEMBAS ARE AGAINST KABIMBA. SATA DID NOT WIN BY COMING FROM MPIKA.ALL TRIBES IN ZAMBIA VOTED FOR SATA COME ON BEMBAS BE REAL.
chuumbwe should also suspend sata for his inconsistencies and lack of proper policy direction.
Chikwelete to ‘suspend’ Chuumbwe tomorrow, lol
Chum we vs Chikwelete
1. O
Worse than a Wild West Movie, where gung- ho Cowboys fight for the right to be top dog!! Never saw this CR*P under K.K’s leadership. K.K. was Not perfect, BUT discipline reigned supreme. This Wild West movie keeps spinning a different script, each passing day.
Wasted Vote!!!
Chuumbwe and Kabimba must go.please ba Sata we don’t need a man who cant win elections.He has never won a case and people don’t like him.he can’t even be a chancellor.what a secretary General! Wether it’s tribal or not Kabimba must step down as Sg otherwise PF is going down coz Winter is clueless .I’ve surveyed and kabimba doesn’t command any support frm zambians,not even bantu botatwe can vote 4 him.Please Ba Sata let kabimba step down n give us Lubinda.
From the way things are going, it will not be a surprise to hear that Sata is suspended. ABZ President Frank Bwalya`s statement that the Sata we voted for died along needs to be understood in depth. Mudala Sata bali musenda icinshingwa. His soul has been taken by the soul merchants. I have my opinion to express. If only he can respect ba pente they will conduct deliverance on him. Be free Sata
