United Party for National Development (UPND) President Hakainde Hichilema has maintained that President Micheal Sata went malingering and not on vacation.

Mr. Hichilema has since advised Justice Minister Wynter Kabimba to keep his problems to himself.

Mr.Hichilema told QFM News that Mr. Kabimba does not and will never attract his attention because he has better things to pay attention to.

He said Mr. Kabimba should know that Zambians are not ready to listen to cheap politics when there is so much that government has to do to improve the living standards of the people.

Mr Kabimba was yesterday quoted in Post Newspapers as saying the UPND leader’s ambition to become president will be a seed of his own destruction for failing to account for his insinuations that President Sata was not well and was out for medical treatment.

And Mr. Hichilema has urged Mr Kabimba to help President Sata respond to concerns of the civil society, the church and the Zambian people over the release of the draft constitution than diverting attention from real issues.

He said the PF government should pay attention to the high cost of living in the country which has become unacceptable.

    • One thing about a lie is that you cannot cover it with another. PF is a bunch of blatant liers, but conforted to note the same has caught up with them.

      Would be ashamed to have an old man like Sata as a relative. Elderly man are suppossed to live by there words, not lies.

    • This issue could have been sorted easily if Statehouse released photos of Sata at Hearthrow being met by David Cameron or even our ambassordor in the UK,if David Cameron refused to belittle himself.

    • They are not just liars but thieves too. You can see how they are hounding themselves out of the party. When GBM was in govt, he was an angel, after he left he is a thief. How many thieves do you think are being shielded by Sata and his minions including ka red lipped snake?

    • Kabimba is caught with his pants down. What a shame! He is trying to be relevant after seeing the support that was given to GBM by all oppositon party members and PF sympathisers. He feels like drowning right now because that statement he issued was mean’t for GBM not HH. But as usual Mmembe twisted Kabimba’s statement and directed at HH for fear of worsening the chances of being for given by GBM.

      Who was Kabimba trying f.o.ol here, certainly not us in UPND. Only PF.f.o.ols would think Kabimba was directing that statement at HH.

      Kabimba we want the constitution now or else??????? wina aza lila.

      Ignore our demands at your peril!

    • You are right Mr HH. The aging snake was loitering in the UK. Furthermore, he had no business to be in the British territory. Moreover, according to the gossip corner, Sata and his entourage were given tickets by the Scotland Yard’s M5 for frightening paranoid Londoners. In addition to the above, most wealthy British citizens find it absolutely awkward to witness bodyguards who resemble vampires kneeling before their aging snake (Sata) in the middle of London. Granted that most terrorist groups have recruited many blacks especially Nigerians in their rank and file, the British Home Office had to issue an ultimatum to Sata and his entourage to leave UK, or face incarceration in a maximum security prison. Additionally, the British Home Office took Mr HH’s calls seriously and Sata came…

    • @LUBUTO

      Sata is not a President! He is a criminal that has LIED to get into State house and is now a squatter there.

      Has he ever done anything Presidential? This IDI0T cannot even give a PRESS CONFERENCE!

    • CHIPUBA UYU MWAICE HH. SINCE WHEN SATA START LOAFING IN HIS ENTIRE WORKING CAREERS? SATA HAS EVER BEEN A GREAT WORKER WITH NOT ONLY RESULTS BUT GREAT RESULTS AT THE END OF THE DAY. FACT IS HH HAS NOTHING TO LOSE IN POLITICS WHATEVER HE SPEWS AND MOSTLY IF NOT ALL THE TIMES HE SPEWS RUBBISH.

    • Sata has a track record of hard work with tangible results

      HH has a track record of manipulation, looting and economic plundering, then laundering the loot.

      What has HH brought to the table….. to the nation?

      The records speak for themselves

  1. USELESS CRY BABY WHO IS TRYING TO ATTRACT ATTENTION , COME WHAT MAY HH WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA.UKABWELELE KUKUCHEMA INGOMBE *****

    • What is the problem with you i.di.ots? Then if he did not go on vacation, then what? What can HH do about it? I agree, HH or any other Tonga will NEVER rule Zambia. They missed the opportunities they had during the era of Nkumbula and the last one of Mazoka.

    • The fact that HH makes you come out all emotional and blatantly display your tribalism means he rattles your cages badly and is a force to reckon with. Re-read your statements, both DIVA and Limo and tell me if they come from mature coherent minds. HH has stated facts and concerns which is a reflection of what a lot of people are feeling and your govt, instead of giving precise and concise answers, attack his personality. Then here come you two geniuses doing the same thing. You, my friends, are total a.s.s.h.o.l.e.s and since you really do know that you’re a couple of a.n.u.s.e.s, my pronouncing it should not hurt you in the least. Fcuking tribalists. But we can still be friends I hope.

    • @Limo. HH makes billions of kwachas from the cattle ranches and makes it big in life while you still sleep in your father’s living room and can’t even afford a penny to buy yourself a salaula pant. Before you despise people who own cattle and are massively contributing to the economy of this country think of what you be today if you owned just a hundred heads of cattle. Dunderheads like you will die stupid and poor as you are.

    • Are you God to decide who goes to state house? The once powerful Chiluba and Levy Mwanawasa did say just as you are saying abt your sick president that upon their dead bodies Sata can never be president and what happened? it was indeed upon their dead bodies that the people/God made him president. The same people/God will mek HH president one day upon yo dead bodies. So watch you language least u curse youselves. But its my prayer that u live so u can witness his inauguration in disbelief.

    • @Limo, your name simply tells us that limo limo taukwata amano thats why you are saying HH will never be president. You are not God to conclude that if SATA can be president what more HH? Ulimukulu nawishiba umo nalosha.

    • limo, but he just attracted you by commenting on him. Why haven’t you commented on other people? PF needs to start addressing real issues affecting the majority Zambian and forget about this issue of responding to individual who are not in power. Recall PF you have spent most of the your term politicking, than working on real issues like the constitution. By the way the other thing you have succeed in very well is debt amassing, sending the next generation into a debt trap

    • I really wonder why people still think that because HH is Tonga he will never be president of this country. This is a STUPID statement which should be dismissed by all progressive and right thinking Zambians. How can one in their right frame of mind write and think in such a way… HH like any other Zambian can be president of this nation. He(HH) is one of the best candidates we have at the moment to propel Zambia to great heights economically. so instead of showing so much bitterness against the one Tonga Bull ,who owns castle your entire generation will never own, be practical and for once see sense in what he is doing for you… “pukucwe mu nyelela siliba”.

    • Never say Never. I am from the East myself and i am finding H.H. more and more appealing for the job at Plot 1.
      1. He is young
      2. He has an Economic agenda
      3. He has the necessary prerequisite of a good education
      4. Though not important, he has his own wealth
      5. He can meet today’s challenges
      6. He has been consistent for the past three general elections
      7. ETC, Etc.

      I may decide to go to my village and convince my tribe mates to vote for this guy. And usually they listen from me on issues of politics and governance. I can assure you that if Zambians vote with their brains and not stomach, H.H. is the one. At least he represents my interests. I am least interested in tribal politics.

      Thanks

    • @limo
      You are very right, this KA UNDER 5 is wasting our time. Learn from Elias Chipimo, he brings out real issues of national development. HH don’t just make noise, grow-up boy.

    • God redeem you for the sins you are reflecting in your utterances, but you know what, zambians are wide awake.
      God redeem Zambia through UPND GOD BLESS ZAMBIA THROUGH HH.

  2. Khulumela futhi – Tell them so they hear- the truth hates. Mealie meal prices Ex President Rupiah Banda left a stable price of mealie meal at K38/ 25Kg bag but alas, this time the same bag costs K100.00. Who is going to redeem the ”have nots” from the skyrocketing prices which has been created by the “”more many into your pockets” government or is it a ”more poverty in your homes” government?

  3. Unless I am blind, I have not seen any UK photos of Sata on his facebook page nor any documentary running on ZNCB. When you become secretive you just raise people’s curiosity and they will keep poking for the truth!

  4. HH you need an agenda my friend. last time you were crying that they are not allowing you to hold rallies, they gave you , you proved your unpopularity ,you started another issue. you talked of Human right abuses not even sadc or AU gav you an ear, manje its the president did not go for a vacation. Honestly how does that help the country develop?how is that a developmental idea??In what way is it going to help the child in kaputa to hav a better education or that youth to get a job?or to pump some sense in the government about employment creation?imwe tata we can also start claiming ati brain tamwakwata because we can prove you have never seen your brain apart from been told you hav one or been shown pa scan bt is it realy your brain? those are the same politics you are playing na sata

    • @ Matrix:It is surprising how myopic you are. holding a rally is a right, for you to say “they allowed…”shows we are in a dictatorship. We don’t need SADC to prove to us about the human rights abuses…did u not see the police footage when the viciously brutalized UPND cadres?”. It is precisely people like you that have helped underdevelopment in Zambia….under developed minds that you kind have.

    • @ Matrix: …and which is my clan? The stereotyping from you is amazing but perhaps indicative of your level of education and exposure. I will not waste anymore of my time with you….and just to quench you curiosity i hail from Mporokoso, and you a free to assign me a clan. Thanks

    • Well Sir Matrix. The story is very simple, MCS people put out a statement that the President was going on working holiday for 14 days. Clearly it was an after thought to talk about meeting investors in London. With so much pressure on this trip one would expect pictures or video feeds will be available by now.

      The argument on development and issues raised is lost on me! If a leader is working only 2hrs a day instead of a 48 hrs a day is that a problem?

    • Which unpopularity are u talking abt? are blind? Has UPND ever had a parley seat on the Copperbelt? When was the last time UPND got a seat in Solwezi? Those are good signs for him. Only nincompoops like u wud see nothing.

    • It is nobodies plane, but a presidential plane and whoever is president at anyone time has the right to use it in whatever way they so wish. No wonder some parties lose elections, most of their campaigns are done on line on social media blogs while the others are impacting people in rural areas.
      A nephew was sent to Shang’ombo this year under Office of the president and he was telling us there is noway the opposition will be able to campaign there as alot of construction of infrastructure such as health centres, schools, administrative district office block and roads are progressing very well.
      In 2016 most bloggers will be shooked and then we will hear their silly accusations. Start real politics and contacting the majority rural population and explaining your economic policies!…

    • @ Matrix: …and which is my clan? The stereotyping from you is amazing but perhaps indicative of your level of education and exposure. I will not waste anymore of my time with you….and just to quench your curiosity i hail from Mporokoso, and you are free to assign me a clan. Thanks

  5. WHAT DOES ONE EXPECT FROM THE MOUTH OF A CHILD WHO IS, EACH DAY, RUNNING OUT OF REAL ISSUES TO ADDRESS DURING HIS SO-CALLED PRESS CONFERENCES?

    WHY DO YOU THINK EVEN OUR CHIEFS SEEM TO BE TURNING AGAINST HIM?

    • Luapula Premier just tell your demented Prezido that we want answers. He uses our tax money since when did he acquire wealth to be galavanting in old age atase iwe. At least I give respect to the people who support HH, a child, as you term as a child is the future. We have not forgotten that when Sata was caught with $100k, GBM had to come to his rescue.

  6. HH please call back and follow Sata’s wife also who is keeping our challenger. The fools will crush before you use it in 2016. Good pressure for now despite the choppers over your farmers

  7. @Matrix lets talk of ISSUES HERE not tribes.

    We dont want the Hutus and Tutis issues like in Rwanda lets talk DEVELOPMENT. NOT RUBBISH THINGS.

    FOR SURE & I am CONVINCED GOD will giv us a leader and HH is the ONLY PROMISING ONE at the MOMENT.

    If u DIDN kno SOUTHERN PROVINCE is one of the DEVELOPED PROVINCES and A Third to ve a UNIVERSITY- RUSANGU University before this mushrooming Uni.

    SO DONT BE CHEATED GOD LOVES SOUTHERNERS. You talk & till YOUR DEATH.

    • Don’t use tribe mwana,you started your sentences well but fell over mid way when you decieved your self HH was the only one promising and completly stoped thinking at the end when you also went tribal..I would rather you sale your development agenda not names here.

  8. HH must have had the first teeth from the upper gums. Bembas call that ichinkula. How can he fail to understand a simple term as working holiday or its just under 5 mischief as usual. This guy can be irritating and a pain in the butt.

    • 142, you are a scatter brain! Google “working hoilday” and you will find that most busy people do it! It has gone over board this idea of criticising every thing. I hope some people will lose again in 2016, so that we see the shock! By the way, I don’t vote!

  9. Looking at the current leadership, HH will make a better President than what we have. No press conference to give direction, just swearing in and firing, we r in problems! Wake up Zambians, there is no direction! Lost ship!

  10. HH is just a dreamer of which I’ve never heard of any positive plans he has about this nation…
    First and foremost he has to learn the system of this country. There is no try and error in the running affairs of this nation.
    I’d suggest him first in 2016 he stands as a councillor in Chikuni where I live, so that he feels what leadership is all about…
    We will not allow the so called HH to disturb our political structure in this country. Zambia is not a chiefdom where one tribe rules… Even though am a Tonga, I hate the seed in us where regardless of who the fellow is so long he is Tonga,
    how do rule a nation of 72+ languages in that way. Unless we change for real, easterners & copalas will be ruling us

    • You’re not Tonga, motherfcuker, and what u are describing is sata and not HH, you d!ck. And if you really are Tonga, then you’re probably working in govt as either a DC or u’re Munkombwe’s nephew thus making your points invalid. D!ck.

    • Dudelove, change your name to M.O.T.H.E.R.F.U.C.K.E.R AS YOU ARE A TOTAL WASTE of the word love. So, to you and your warped barin the only Tonga supporting Sata is Mukombwe? How did Evans win votes on a PF ticket in Livingstone? I am very scared that this campaign for HH is to the exclusion of all other but Tongas. Ulabenja mudala! There are people of all tribes including Tonga who support Sata and are even sympathjising with him more as you demonise him. Watch your hatred!

  11. Ba matrix kwena muli cikopo! Don’t you know that the movements of the presindent is an issue of development? Do you know how much is spent just on his one movement? And you foolishly ask ” how is that a developmental issue?”” How does it help a child in Kaputa?” Go to school maybe you will acqure some skill to analyse issues at a higher level.

  12. I am not surprised that the usual demented tribal goons who irrationally sing praises of PF are trying to divert the gist of the article and the discussions into tribal talk. If we were to lift the lid off their pseudo names we would truly find that they are the same cassava and monkey eating bimbos whose IQ is so limited that they can’t engage in constructive discussions devoid of tribal talk.

    • Most of us find your vintage statement of “cassava & monkey eating bimbos” very tribal and wonder who you are to call others tribal? Actually there is nothing vintage about calling a group of people “cassava and monkey eating bimbos”, there is only hatred and scorn! Learn to be constructive please or the same “cassava & monkey eating bimbos” from Muchinga, Northern & Luapula province will teach your preferred presidential candidate another lesson in2016!

  13. Going on vacation means to malinga at your own leisure. No pressure of duty…
    Holiday ni holiday with occasional call of duty.

    Bring other national discussions of substance. Anywebo! This is done.

  14. @ civilised tonga bull, the issue is not about HH becoming a president but about the issue he has raised. ” WERE DID THE PRESIDENT GO???” Give him the answer as a citizen of this country and he ll shut up.

  15. FELLOW COUNTRYMEN,

    WE ARE IN THE OPPOSITION TO DO CHECKS AND BALANCES ON GOVERNMENT PERFORMANCE.

    WE HAVE ASKED NGOS LIKE THE JCTR TO SPEAK ON OUR BEHALF ON REAL POLITICAL ISSUES SUCH GOVERNMENT BORROWING BECAUSE WE FEEL THAT MY GOVERNMENT WILL ALSO FOLLOW THE SAME ROUTE!

    HH.

  16. HH. I feel sorry for you. you have no strategy. At least if u had even a bad one you improve from there. always finding faults in the government will not win you votes. please tell the nation what you intend to do. the only alternative you have offered in tackling unemployment is to give government contracts to the youth. how shalow!! MCS is doing very well. to itemize but a few:
    IDC has been launched. 1000,000 jobs expected
    Computer assembly plant about to be commision, which will result in employmen creation, I technologically advanced zambia etc
    Value addition to the gemstones. employment creation
    Unprecedented infrastructure construction
    Constitution making process

    HH is gona get angrier hence more ugly after treading this. i wonder how HH looks during orgasm. the man is too…

  17. If a father leaves home without letting his grown up children know,two things come to mind,
    Its either he is a lanzo(thief)
    Or he is out prostituting.Zambians know who is he.

  18. But what’s wrong with ka (HH)? Useless bankum with no agenda but ill-will for the current leadership and PHD mentality to bring down the party in power. Your evil chanting may work in your sick world of free masonry but your satanic verses will never bring you the throne. you are a useless chap and a cattle clown full of cow dang in the mouth.

  19. @ Ben 16 are you Ben ten? dont use your emotions to say things. Sata is the republican President either you like it or not. HH should show maturity in his debates having animals is a risky business that can be wiped out in a day from denkete. the guy is not rich but comfortable. which left people of Roan (Luanshya) poorer.

  20. Too much ichibwantu abena HH! This is a sheer waste of time arguing what and where Sata was and doing. This is the lack of maturity from our aspiring leaders at large in Zambia. HH should be spending time educating the people of Zambia what policies they have in stock to change the lives poor Zambians, not this mediocre debates we are being subjected to. The man has nothing serious to discuss but continued silly personal debates that will not help Zambians understand the UPND plan when they come into power!

  21. bloggers in america like matrix you talk as if you are not living in a country that has mature democracy and you cant learn,HOW DID YOU FIND YOURSELF THERE?ARE YOU A CADRE POSTED AT THE ZAMBIAN EMBASY OR YOU ARE AN EXPERT CLEANING TOILETS?

  22. Advice to PF supporters and those who hate HH:
    Please avoid being drunk when contributing so that we can learn logical reasoning from you instead of the scrape you are posting.

  23. When you look at the face and body posture, the pink shirt and its color, the way the jacket and trousers are hunging, though himself not skinny, one can tell that this person has been discharged from some hospital somewhere.

    • there is no sign that the operson has come from a working holiday i.e. he is excited about the investors he has been talking to and is fresh and energitic because he has had some rest. Nothing of that sort. He looks discauraged, tired and just sick.

  24. Drugs are very bad (HH). The dried cow dang you smoke at the farm has polluted your mind. (HH) is the empty tin of the political scene. Always rattling on non issues. This free mason cattle-rustling wizard banks on the ill-health of others to rise. Judging from his dull speeches one can tell he’s secretly wishing for HE MCS to die. Probably looking for an early presidential bye-election ka (HH). Keep dreaming and continue sleep walking. One president at a time wembushi. 2016 you will still be rejected. You will never enter state house. Just buy the ticket to India and stop akaso. Hingombe Hiyatumpa (HH)

  25. *****, are God to judge that HH will never be president? U are known dull cadre frm a known party. Usefull ***** to hel with you.

    • Father Bwalya ethical? Iyee, that man just lifted a placard with the words “Satana Judas” while showing solidarity to GBM at Woodlands Police Station. How is that ethical?

  26. People should not think this is all between Bemba and Tonga, we are all watching.

    If HH is always making tribal pronouncements, why don’t we all hear them?

    Compare top 10 (or 20) positions in UPND & PF- which is more regional? So why should other tribes support PF?

    Bembas aren’t superior in any way; they aren’t the most intelligent (nor educated), not the most hardworking, not the most honest & their region is not the most productive….., nothing special about them- why then do they think they are better than all of us?

    Ati “after CNP it will b chipimo”, what is he offering in terms of alternative governance? Is it coz he is Bemba? Get serious guys. We are not stupid. U risk plunging this peaceful nation into turmoil. It’s ONE ZAMBIA, ONE NATION remember?

    If this…

  27. **** if this continues WP, NWP & CP shall now know where to pool their votes, bcoz our some Bemba colleagues think they are special.

    Zambia is not an extension of Northern Province. Its a collection of all provinces. The earlier they wake up to that fact,the better for all of us.

    God bless us all & multiply our peace

    THANK YOU.

  28. HH ni mbushi ya muntu! What does he think holiday entail? it is loitering and malingering while occassionally checking into the office! We are tired of his inflammatory statements. Can we have alternative policies and strategies for developing Zambia please!

  29. The President looks absolutely fine in this picture, especially for his age. HH try again in 2021 if you must, better to hand over to someone who has the right personality to be president though. If you like boxing just go and practice with William Banda

  30. Kabimba is really a big CHIPUBA/MUFUBAFUBA/CHIZENDE. Whom is he lying to about Sata’s health. It is common civics knowledge for all school kids that the Zambian President is a very sick man. His suffering brings agony to his family and friends. If the PF system were to tell the truth to the nation, the people of Zambia will rise to fill-up all Churches to maximum capacity to pray for the President’s quick recovery. God Hear Our Prayers.

  31. Some people will die of shock and disappointment when HH takes the reigns at state house in 2016. Better get ready to be led by HH. The time has come. It may even be before 2016. Who knows but GOD? He just needs Southern (100%), Western (99%), North Western (95%), half Eastern, half Lusaka, half Central and a quarter or a third of Copperbelt. He does not need Muchinga, Northern, and Luapula: Sata, Chipimo, Father Bwalya and MMD will have some shares in them. This is how the results will be. WINA AZALILA at Past Newspapers, in Winter, for lack of sperms into the sperms bank Masebo for they shall all be at Chimbokaila

  32. Is there anything to show on the part of PF? Since they came into power is to destroy the little that MMD built. I am from the East but I believe it is one Zambia one nation. HH is the man at the moment. I cry and my heart bleeds on subsidies most. Where is the money bwana President? A poor mother, child, orphan is crying out there, can God be happy? Help the poor please I beg u who are in leadership.

    Check your promises you made and concentrate on the same and you can regain your popularity and I believe, 2016 can be for PF and not at the moment. Let all those people who are advising you tell you the truth. There is hatred and bitterness in the country over the way you preside over matters of this Nation. God bless the President and God bless Zambia.

  33. even if I am not a politician I have not seen any thing worthy following Mr. HH’s self claimed political person yet not filled with beneficial and up building talks .HH try to do something that will help people and that will make them believe that you can be a better councilor and not a future president because you are educated yet you have no wisdom.
