The opposition Alliance for Better Zambia (ABZ) has promised a massive Red Card Campaign against the Patriotic Front (PF) government over its alleged failure to keep its promise over the releasing of the final draft constitution simultaneously to the public and the Head of State.

ABZ president Frank Bwalya says his party is confident that the Red Card Campaign, which was officially launched on Saturday yesterday against the PF government, will be bigger than the one that was mounted against the Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) government in 2010 over similar failures to keep promises to given to the people in the country.

Fr. Bwalya has told Qfm in an interview that his conviction of a massive Red Card Campaign against the PF government is based on the fact that already the campaign has gained momentum on its day of being launched with other opposition political parties already willing to take part in the campaign.

Fr. Bwalya has stated that Saturday’s ‘Rescuing Our Constitution Prayer Meeting’ jointly held by the opposition, the church and the civil society is only the beginning of many avenues to pressure the PF government to release the final draft constitution.

The ABZ president says as Red Card Campaigners his group will exhaust all avenues of mounting pressure on the PF government until the final draft constitution is released to the nation as per promise.

He has however noted that the campaign will be only restricted within the country as there is strong conviction that the people of Zambia will not let the PF government get away without fulfilling the promise it made to them to release the final draft constitution simultaneously to the Head of State and the public.

    • This is just but the beginning of a revolution against PF.

      A revolution flows like a flooded river, if PF and its supporters think they can ignore advice and continue lying to Zambians they will find them selves drowning in sorrow even before 2015.

      Its not only the ordinary Zambians vexed with Sata and his PF, its all the armed forces and a large part of the police. So Sata must watch out because this time around the coup attempt will be brutal to make sure he is incapacitated completely. He will be lucky if they carry it out when he is India for treatment.

      KK, Chiluba we forgave , but Sata we shall lynch.

      WE NEED THE CONSTITUTION BY END OF JANUARY 2014 OR ELSE ??????????????

    • If Zambia really wants to get a young leader with an intact respectable international reputation to bring in real changes politically and economically in Zambia,then they should forget Mmembe’s tribal divisive mantra and rally behind UPND and HH. The only leader who can wipe the political slate clean and get rid of all remnants of UNIP policies is HH.As things stand right now Zambians have only got one real option,and that is UNPD and HH.

      Chipimo is just an extension of PF. One day Sata wil wake up and force Chipimo to form a pact with PF. Unfortunately Chipimo is not as strong as HH to resist PF machinery. Nevers Mumba has already been intimidated beyond what he can take after Sata forgave him recently. So he is terrified.

      Ignore my advice again like you did in 2011 at your…

    • Deputy Chief Justice Mumba has smelt the coffee and has handed in resignation letter to Sata. She does not to be lynched together with Sata and his cohort. The she has noticed that the wheel of change has began to turn and very soon it will be travelling at full speed.

      Wise move Madam Justice Mumba.

  1. @ i admire Being an OP, dream on. You think ABZ will form the next government. Here is what the 2016 elections will be: PF No 1, MMD No 2, UPND No 3 FDD No 4, ABZ No 5 or 6. And it will be a lanslide victory for PF. Mark my words.

  2. 2016 PF will sail to victory, so Faza we are not worried about those red cards, people won’t eat cards mind you

    • Mr. Frank Bwalya you are entitled to your own opinion and and aspirations to have wishful thinking strategy of Red Carding PF, but you should not use the “Reverend Father” title any more for political milage please. Since you are now a non-practising(former) Catholic priest, I pray you have not ceased to pray fervently daily like you did before, prayer strategy is more effective than misguided mass-mobilisation. The only challenge is that just as you wish to become president of Zambia God willing some day, if ever at all, you should presently daily pray effectively for the God anointed, approved and allowed to rule present president of Zambia to complete his tenure and mandate peacefully. He needs both your support and respect.

  3. FATHER, RED CARDS MIGHT HAVE HAD EFFECT THEN BUT NOT NOW. GOO LUCK…

    LUAPULA HAS SEEN TANGIBLE DEVELOPMENT IN MANY YEARS. DEVELOPMENTS ARE REALLY TAKING PLACE HERE SUCH AS THE TARRING OF THE PEDICLE RD, A UNIVERSITY & TRADES TRAINING SCHOOLS. OUR SON CHILUBA WITH HIS MMD FAILED TO SINK EVEN A SINGLE BOREHORE FOR US.

    I CHALLENGE U TO GIVE JUST US one reason BESIDES ‘AGE’, ‘POOR EDUCATION’ & ‘UGLINESS’ OF THE PRESIDENT, WHY PEOPLE IN LUAPULA SHUD VOTE FOR ANY OTHER PARTY

    DEVELOPMENTS ARE GOOD CAMPAIGN TOOLS AND ARE SPEAKING VOLUMES TO THE FOLKS HERE.

    • Spot on PF is on the right track.MMD will have nothing to talk about Sata is a leader and we need him.Wait you Zambians you are yet to see development in Zambia MMD was busy building its own empire.

  4. FATHER,

    YOUR BOSS, THE HOLY FATHER, THE POPE, HAS EMBRACED HOMOSEXUALITY. HE SAYS THAT IF GAYS HAVE ACCEPTED GOD WHO WAS HE TO CONDEMN THEM?

    WHAT IS THE POSITION OF UBZ ON GAYS? FATHER?

    • Mpundu and Luapula, one and the same. So you actually stand alone? Why use two names my friend, to give an illusion that you’re not the only one that shares your opinion?

  5. @BBC that is your opinion. mind you when i tok about kicking pf out of power it doesnt mean am for ABZ. Dreams are good sometimes jst as are, speculations.

  6. Between now and 2016 alot will happen, it will be anyones card, whoever wins the peoples hearts starting this year will surely carry the day, I for one knows that the President will be someone else exactly who, I honestly have no idea, thats why it’s important for some young flesh Blood to regroup themselves and set their agendas in motion. No one knows what tomorrow holds so please people serve your breath and quit hacking each other over PF!

    • @Cindy

      I have only leader one in mind who can not easily be eroded by former MMD, former PF, even former UNIP guys. He is strong and resolute not dilute modern politics with Kaundanomics and certainly will not repeat MMD and PF ‘s path of deception.
      The leader I am on about is HH and the only party to correct all this mess being created by PF is UPND. If people make another mistake of voting another party, I don’t see the legacies of UNIP or PF disappearing completely because most of the leaders in these other parties are not strong enough to ward off UNIP and PF influences. Only HH can handle the likes of Sata and his former UNIP cronies who infiltrated MMD and are now setting the agenda in PF.
      If Chipimo or Nevers wins be guaranteed UNIP and PF cronies will set the agenda…

    • “Fresh” abena Cindy, ichi sungu te cha Ushi!!

      Nomba, abena Wanzelu iyi scare-mongering ya shani?? koma fye HH?? Leave it to thge electorate to decide – IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHO GRABS THE INITIATIVE NOW, it has gone begging for many months, IT IS UNBELIEVABLE!! Who ever lights the spark, will carry the momentum into the next election, 2016 or luckily, before!!

  7. @Wanzelu in his dreams says, “Only HH can handle the likes of Sata and his former UNIP cronies who infiltrated MMD and are now setting the agenda in PF.”

    HH HAS EMBRACED UNIP’S RB AND HIS CORRUPT CHILDREN WHO, FROM THEIR RAGS HAD EVEN STARTED FLYING CHARTERED PLANES. BY NOW, THEY COULD HAVE MIGRATED TO BOEING 737-400 HAD HH’S CORRUPT FRIENDS, NOT BEEN KICKED OUT.

    HH UKO. NOT IN LUAPULA PLEASE.

    • At least you admit that those they have joined him are totally under his control. Unlike Sata HH maintains order in his party. Those are the signs of a strong man.

      Sata is weak thats why he resorts to intimidation tactics when one of his followers disagrees with him.

      Thank God GBM is controlling Luapula. As soon as they kick GBM out of PF, that will mark the end of PF in Luapula.

      A strong rumour has it that Chikwanda is seriously planning to leave within a short time as well. Only time will tell.

  8. WANZELU YOU ARE BLIND POLITICALLY! HH HAS NO POLICIES OR DEVELOPMENTAL IDEAS THAT CAN SURPASS WHAT THE SATA AND THE PF ARE CURRENTLY IMPLIMENTING!! UPNDIS STILL A REGIONALTRIBAL PARTY AND IT HASNO POLITICAL MUSCLE TO WRESTLE POWERFROM THE PF!! WAKE UP FROM YOUR POLITICAL SLUMBER AND OPEN YOUR EYES!! THE COMPAIGN FOR THE PF FOR 2016 WILL BE BASED ON THE PROJECTS THE PF IS CURRENTLY UNDERTAKING NOT ON WIRLD AND BASELESS DREAMS OF HH!! ZAMBIANS WANT DEVELOPMENT NOT JUST RALLIES WITHOUT AN AGENDA!! KEEP DREAMING BROTHER YOU HAVETHE RIGHT TO DREAM AND SNORE LOUDLY!!!

    • Are you real ? Keep comforting yourselves until its too late. I for one have heard a lot that talk before. Even when every one knew that KK ‘s time was over, his cronies were saying the same things you are saying now. Maybe you are one of them UNIP now turned PF Zealots reviving UNIP mantra.

      HH is real a politician while Sata and his cronies who are poloticians. Poloticians thrive on lies to remain in power, but not for long though.

      Zambians are up in arms against PF now, there is no going back.

  9. BREAKING NEWS; from reliable sources within State house. Sata has been preparing for his first press conference for the past four months. Zedians, get ready for one, before the end of the month!

    • Lets get the statehouse pets ready for another “Peeing” session!! I.e. if he hasn’t had them all for dinner!!

  10. A. LUAPULA REJECTED CHILUBA BECAUSE OF HIS CORRUPTION.

    B. LUAPULA REJECTED RB BECAUSE HE EMBRACED CHILUBA WHO WAS IN COURT FOR CORRUPTION.

    C. LUAPULA HAS REJECTED HH BECAUSE HE HAS EMBRACED RB WHO EMBRACED CHILUBA.

    SO YOU MIGHT BE COMPELLED TO ASK US FOR PROOF OF RB’S CORRUPTION!

    BUT LUAPULA WILL ALSO CHALLENGE YOU TO PROVIDE NAMES OF FORMER PRESIDENTS IN AFRICA AND THE WORLD OVER WHOSE CHILDREN FLY CHARTERED PLANES!!

    LUAPULA WOULD RATHER PERISH IN A BOAT FULL OF COBRAS SAILING THROUGH A TSUNAMI STORM HOWEVER UNEDUCATED AND UGLY THE BOAT CAPTAIN IS.

    IF PF WILL BE SHORT BY 20% OF THE POPULATION’S VOTE, LUAPULA WILL PROVIDE IT. REST ASSURED.

  11. @Wanzulu

    POLITICS ARE NOT FOR THE UNDER 5’s LIKE HH. SURELY, NOT FOR THE HEART FAINTED SOULS. POLITICS, LIKE CALCULUS ARE FOR REAL MEN….

    IF POLITICS DID NOT THRIVE ON DRIBBLES, THEN

    A. KK COULD HAVE RESIGNED JUST AFTER 5 YEARS OF OUR INDEPENDENCE BECAUSE OF BEER DRINKING BY YOU ZAMBIANS.

    B. NO ZAMBIAN WOULD BE WALKING BARE FOOTED BY NOW.

    C. GUANTANAMO WOULD HAVE BEEN CLOSED BY NOW.

    D. ALL U.S. TROOPS WOULD BE OUT OF AFGHANISTAN BY THIS DATE! AND

    E. WE COULD HAVE BEEN PRESENTED WITH EVIDENCE OF SADDAM’S MASS BOMBS OF MASS DESTRUCTION IN IRAQ BY NOW.

  12. @Wanzulu

    HH DECEPTIVELY AND CHILDISHLY TELLS WOMEN OF LUAPULA OF HOW BEAUTIFUL THEY ARE!

    DID YOU BELIEVE HIM? NAY.

    ITS ALL POLITICS OF DECEPTION…

  13. Bala Ng’ombe thinks heavy dose of insults will culminate into high likelihood of the novice to take office so that stealing can resume. We have never forgotten how Luanshya was turned into a ghost town by one Bonwell Chunsu Kadansa the chairman of g’ombe illede bantustan association. @ wanzelu, the man you re proposing to lead Zambia has a history we all know about and bembas say uwakalema takaleka.

    • @Chinyama

      At leats HH ‘s history is a good one compared Sata’s history of being KK’ s thug. Imagine some people forget easily like chicken . Not long ago the Chitimukulu cursed Sata when he referred to Sata as “ni chitogo” while welcoming HH who PF thugs like you blocked.

      Insoni nga shapwa no ubuntu bulapwa. Imwe ba PF ubuntu bwalipwa kale.

    There are challenges faced by the church today such as homosexuality. Why spend your energy on trivialities like RED cards which could be over turned by the majority any way? Why not assist the church to solve complex issues?

    Last month, your boss, Pope Francis, reached out to gays, saying he won’t judge humans for their sexual orientation.

    He said, “If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and he has good will, who is he to judge?”

    Please expend your energies to fight for universal human rights for the marginalized people who also need integration into society.”

  15. 1. Chipimo
    – Yes Chipimo went to Brazil on one trip but HH was in a pact for years. Chipimo had a one night stand while HH was married to Sata
    – Chipimo brings in fresh ideas of inclusiveness, tolerance and coorperation
    – Chipimo was born in Zambia and not Northern Rhodesia
    – Chipimo is Zambian Obama
    2. HH – during Privatisation, he undervalued properties so that he could buy himself
    – He brought misery on Luanshya, Ndola and Kalulushi when he dealt with their sales wrongly to enrich himself
    – He does not pay his workers well and on time
    – He double crossed his family to selfishly hold on to the family inheritance
    – he has two NECs or Management Boards, one for Tongas only and the other one a mix. Tonga one rules
    – he is now being rejected by Southerners
    3. Nevers and Sata are…

    • Abena “Aleisa”, apa mwa stretchinga ka imagination, ati Elias ee Zedian Obama, if he was, he would taken the initiative to pounce on the woes of Panga fighters!!

    • @Aleisa Elias
      See you are now dreaming.HH never inherited any thing.He is relying on his wealth he first created when he was in the UK.To be honest even Sata fears HH, because he can not manipulate him like he does to other leaders.If HH stole then why has Sata failed to prosecute him when he was SG in MMD and now Zambian president.

      Its a shame that you are still under Mmembe’s tribal spell. Look how Mmembe is fanning confusion within PF.

      UPND and HH will carry the day come 2016. HH is the only one capable of booting out Sata. Look how he has set PF against it self by making sure that the three PF members who insulted him are now fighting it out.

      Chipimo should dismantle his PF association tag may be people will take him serious.

      Ignore my advice at your peril like you did…

    • @Aleisa Elias
      You need to a bit economics and accountancy to understand what company liquidation means. I will try to explain to briefly in simple terms.

      Liquidation a process by which an accounting firm is appointed to put a LOSS making company into administration in order ascertain its value after getting a lot of inkongole. The value of the company is then determined by how much inkongole it has. If it has inkongole more than its assets, then its worth totally nothing apart from its name and probably its tiny good will (popularity). There fore people who buy such companies agree to pay a % of the inkongole the company owes and buy the company at a reduced price. I hope this helps you.

      HH, did not undervalue any company.He instead mitigated companies’ debts to help them sell…

  16. Don’t just talk of trivial matters, this is a very small issue the constitution is going to be given to his excellency to review thereafter it will be given to the public, after all many zambians never read,theyare just told, the way SILIYA signed MOU’s for ZAMTEL she never read through just put her pen on the paper. so whats the point of wasting Govt. resources by printing many copies for 65% of the population , grade 7 drop outs?

  17. @Aleisa Elias
    No matter how much we may disagree on HH and Chipimo, the fact is one of them will carry the day in 2016 because politics in a gamble worth taking. You never know who wins.
    That said I am very clear on whom I will put my money on.I will put all money on HH and devote all my cranial capabilities to promote his cause because I know he is capable after considering his track record and his concrete plans for Zambia.
    He is the only leader with proper understanding of where he wants Zambia to be in the near future.He is inclusive and very humble.But what he will not do,is allow him self to be manipulated by Sata like some party leaders.
    .
    Yes he was in the pact, but he was clever and quick enough to ditch the pact after noticing Sata is a pure CNP. Thats a strong man for…

  18. @ Frankless Bwwalya wht position did u expect in PF govt?Veep,Cabinet Minister or wht?Wailasha look Chitala seasoned politcian has he rebelled aganst PF?Now u with your perceived red card feel ci red card campaign helped Sata how?U need deliverance surely.
