Former Republican President Rupiah Banda has urged the Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD) members to recognise and accept the reality that they are no longer in power.

Mr Banda has also urged MMD members to remain united and focused if the former ruling party is to bounce back to power.

The former head of state said the fact that the party is in opposition calls for more sacrifice and doubling of the organisational capacity if it has to continue remaining relevant in Zambia’s political dispensation.

He has since advised MMD members to encourage one another and not to look for faults in each other saying all people are bound to make mistakes.

According to a statement issued to ZANIS by his Deputy Administrative Secretary Kennedy Limwanya, the former president was speaking in Lusaka at an MMD end of year women’s choir competition held at Dr Nevers Mumba’s residence in Kabulonga.

The event was also used to honour all former MMD presidents of which Mr Banda is third from the late former presidents Dr Fredrick Chiluba and Dr Levy Mwanawasa respectively.

And Mr Banda has paid glowing tribute to the founding fathers of the MMD for their sacrifice which led to the birth of democracy in Zambia.

The former head of state also paid particular praise to the first MMD National Secretary and former republican Vice President Brigadier General Godfrey Miyanda for his sacrifice in standing for the Zambia people in their time of need.

  1. We need that type of sacrifice were the third term ambitions were thwarted by some mmd Nec members who were later expelled by the then secretary general Michael chilufya sata .mmd stands a chance of bouncing back to power but not any time soon because it was not founded by an individual alike other parties like pf,fdd,heritage,etc.
    Critical analysis shows that sata does not support the kabimba group because all sensitive financial positions are given to the Gbm camp,RDA -Willie nsanda,Defense -Gbm,this set up will give the Gbm financial capacity to campaign,Bemba cliques.

  2. zambian pipo we ned to put this sata on record one team is enough fo him bfor he distroy our nation.all the piopo ar complain’g no money in the pocket bcoz of poor economic manegment,so lets fight the issue of consititution its ou right to do so.UPND u hav a big task to do work with civil organisaton bring them on board to find the way 4ward,dont alow sagoomaz to make us week on this consititution issue no divisons one voic we stand z our cry zambians.

    • ati no need for a new constitution, haven’t u heard u voter!? ati amendments to the existing one will be enough!

      where r we going?

  3. this is what is lacking in Zambia
    This single categorical imperative, however, has three formulations (the first two of which are): First Formulation: “Act as if the maxim of your action were to secure through your will a universal law of nature” Second Formulation: “Act so that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or that of another, always as an end and never as a means only”

  4. RB is a wise easterner indeed.He should have been allowed to continue his amazing transformation of Zed with his surpluses and record forex instead of these greedy,visionless kolwestans led by Sata.WE MISS YOU PAPA RB.

    • all top investors i relate with keep asking me what we were thinking as zambians! we have really messed up!

      ati no need for a new constitution, haven’t u heard u voter!? ati amendments to the existing one will be enough!

      where r we going?

  5. May God bless our dear former Republican President RB. He has always provided the much needed fatherly counsel to his people and the entire nation. Shame on Major Kachingwe and his likes.

    As for Mmembe, Mutembo Nchito, Kabimba and Masebo, as well as their superior “mentor”, the clock is ticking fast to register the eclipse of their den of evil where they plot havoc against humanity. The fire that has been ignited in Palaces of the Bemba Chiefs will have a devastating lethal factor for PF. God Hear The People’s Prayers.

  6. but zoona things can change.even LT which used to be pro-pf has now changed.now all online papers are anti pf except radio one bemba section(tumfweko).

  7. RB just changed from nowhere from good to bad person. Remember what he did to Magade, he made sure that he was expelled from the party because he was a threat to him.Chibombamilimo, shakafuswa etc.

    • It is the other way round my friend. He just changed from bad to good. All the people saying RB is good were his worst critics and called him all the bad names they could find. Just wait and see. Even Sata will become good when he is no onger president.

  8. I only wish you were this humble when you were president. You fell from grace due to your arrogance during your presidence. I hope others ar learning from you. You are partly to blame for the situation we have now found ourselves in.

    • he perceptively ‘fail’ from grace due to sata’s lies baba! know the truth!

      the people believed the serpent more than the angel of life. it was a garden of eden situation for mother zambia!

  9. well said Teddy i agree with u,RB you could have been a very gud president if it was not for your self centerednence and arrogance.

  10. He is coming down the ladder even mentioning sacrifices. This RB brought a lot of casualization by denying miners permanent jobs. If most pipo don’t know thats what made him not to be voted on the copperbelt coz he encouraged mining companies to sub – contract foreign companies at the expense of Zambians to be in permanent jobs.
    Lets not be fooled by ex-kateka of less a term of having done good things. He never initiated anything but only messed up what the late Levy P M started. Only achievement was to dress street light poles and trees with his blue fitenges carrying his head and put his head along all roads on bill boards. He was using our money for all this and now he knows about sacrifice which he never practised. Shame on him. VIVA the current Presido but also learn from others.

  11. @ENKA, what was good about this man? He was behaving like a rat which has bitten someone and then it makes sure the affected part is cooled. He was only stealing from Zambians and then sweet talk you by pretending to be of good heart and as a caring president.

  12. Only gullible and unprincipled pipo can buy into what this chief hypocrite is saying.U must fo ols who told u to vote with yo legs then?Stop regreting as no 1 is perfect.Be objective as u want to claim Zambia z headed for calamity.U will b ashamed.

  13. Why is he not mentioning my sweetie as a founder member of mmd? It is michel and kafupi who founded mmd which rb later destroyed – mbuya learn to give credit where it is due

  14. Ba LT u have also started reporting ‘Mulomomulomo’What is happening with the stricking nurses.Update us.U are not or may not because the worse u wanted won’t take place.U won’t rejoice over the death of the patients.INSTIGATER S MUST BE FIRED!

  15. I have a premonition that Gen. Miyanda will surprisingly emerge as President of Zambia either on PF or MMD ticket. Keep my word. There is no one like him; even the original MMD new this that time that is why he was made third in the hierarchy.
