Kabwata PF MP Given Lubinda has hit back at attacks from the UPND and insisted that there is no opposition in Zambia.

In an interview, Mr Lubinda said the type of reaction from the UPND regarding his statement which appeared in the Post Newspapers that there is no opposition in Zambia confirms the pettiness associated with opposition politics.

“I did opposition politics for ten years and we were much more organised and focused than this Mickey Mouse politics the UPND is playing,” Mr Lubinda said.

He said he is ready to battle it out with the UPND in Kabwata constituency.

“I am so happy that they are coming into Kabwata, they are welcome even during the day or night, let them come and maybe they could grow the UPND beyond the Southern Province,” he said.

Mr. Lubinda maintained that there is no opposition worth talking about adding that President Sata should continue beyond 2016.

“The current opposition in Zambia is in a mess, it can’t unseat the PF and this is the argument I make in the newspaper but the UPND has chosen to attack me personally, I am not moved.”

The UPND through its Deputy National Secretary Kuchunga Simusamba responded to Mr Lubinda’s assertions that there is no opposition in Zambia with a challenge to Mr Lubinda to resign and cause a by election in Kabwata to prove that the PF has lost popularity in Lusaka and the rest of the country.

  1. Lubinda tekanya…yu’r nolonger a factor in PF. You should start planning to stand as an independent candidate as we nolonger trust you bwana. Better go back to UPND your party, whom are you trying to confuse? Viva PF – Pabwato.

    • That’s the incoming President speaking. If I were in the opposition, I will take this as wise counsel, a wake-up call and start working hard.

      Truth be told, majority Zambian’s are fed-up of Micheal Sata’s regime and want change, but most of them I have interacted with have the same concern, no oppositiion worth there salt at the moment.

    • The only time that UPND will start showing signs of recovery from its endemic political stagnation is when it replaces its current rotten head.

      you can tell by the reaction from a young and promising leader, Kachunga that he is surely losing rational focus and judicious judgement and he is instead advancing absurd personal arguments that will further alienate this moribund gang.

      Kashunga has obviously been poisoned by the perpetual and groundless outbursts by the self-righteous prick, HH.

      if UPND can be so arrogant and refuse to listen to the voice of reason when in opposition, what would happen, God forbid, if they ascended into power?

    • There is only one reason why Lubinda has been told to attack UPND and yet he has failed dismally to influence any positive ideas within his pathetic party. He has been told that for him to be accepted back into the ranks he must focus his useless attacks on the biggest threat to PF, which is the UPND.

      Lets not lie to our selves here by thinking that Sata and his minions in PF are not feeling the heat because of the way the UPND has gained popularity so far. Its shame even at the time when HH and UPND are not allowed to mobilise their supporters freely, they sitll command a strong presence in Zambian politics to the extent that Sata is worried and does not sleep at all. Sata hallucinates ady and night about UPND.
      Come friday we shall go to the court and offer support to HH no matter…

    • lubinda, ulekwata ko insoni. are you the one tasked to distabilize UPND in exchange for a pf comeback? forget, you are a reject and swallow thinker. only of your kind are the ones showering you with empty praises. konto clings on to a dead animal, so is lubinda. wake up you half cast

    • To be honest, in politics you do not waste time attacking a party not worth the salt. The reason why all PF minions are concentrating their efforts on attacking UPND and HH is because they are running scared . They know that UPND is a political force to reckon with at the moment.

      Now Sata does want by elections any more because he knows that UPND will win most of them even in Eastern province where they came second recently they will this time ,around win by a huge margin.

      Those in denial keep burying your heads in sand watch the UPND and HH carry the day.

      Come 2016, we will defy any form of POA, and mobilise our members with or without permission from the police. We shall bring down the barriers of freedom of speech and assembly.

      Viva UPND and HH. Forward with a party of…

    • Lubinda should ask Prof Chirwa, Mike Mulongoti, George Mbombo, etc who are all frustrated now and maybe getting counselling after trying so hard bootlicking Kabimba and Sata to get a position and later realised they were just shinda paper for the PF . He thinks he is in a position like the likes of Siamunene, Monde, Mulusa, Kaingu, Silya, Mugala, kachingwe etc are. He doesn’t realise that the PF gains nothing by him being in their camp but gains by having the aforementioned sellouts. Kabimba already politically castrated Lubinda once and for all and he is going nowhere from Kabwata MP. After all Mulenga Sata is going for the Kabwata seat in 2016. Yes under PF.

    • Even at a personal level, Lubinda has achieved nothing worth shouting about. He just a failure, as business man and politician. Without bootlicking the PF he would be finished.

      Those who are tolerating his stupidity ,can they tell us what he has achieved so far, whether academically, financially, or politically? Even me if I decided to stand against him in Kabwata where I grew up I would beat Lubinda hands down despite having been away from home for a long time.

      Lubinda should first of all fight Kabimba and prove to us that he is some one to be counted in politics before he can start uttering statements against the fastest growing party in Zambia.

      Sata has told Lubinda to start druming up support for Mulenga sata if he wants his job back by attacking UPND.

      Viva UPND.

      Viva UPND.

    • Looks like Snowdon Lubinda has hit where it hurts the most .viva zayellow. It’s LOONEY tunes for up and down party.

    • @ Gen

      Have seen the multitude of people who came out to support and offer solidarity to HH during his court hearing today?If HH and UPND are not a factor in Zambian politics,why are people stopping their businesses to go and support HH at the court?

      HH is the man of moment. PF ignore him at your peril>

      HH and UPND I am in!

  2. bo lubinda watch saint michael is on the way pave way for the guy,kabwata becomes more filthy everyday and you say you are working,you have pressed a wrong button bo ndate,since when did you sing praises for sata?money is evil

  3. Try to solve your own problems Mr. Donald Duck instead of getting involved in unwanted childish bickering.

    • He appeared wiser when he decided to keep quite. Unfortunately, foolishness can not be masked forever. Lubinda now showing his true colors

  4. Ba Given Lubinda, you know for a fact that you fell out of favour with the head of state and PF at large because of your treacherous behaviour. Your prostitute’s mentality even forced Guy Scott to refer to you as a dog… you know how many dogs a bitch can mate with. You leaked information to the UPND and today you are trying to appease Mr. Sata by launching unprovoked attacks on the UPND. I thought you were the finest the PF had but going by this conduct, i am beginning to have my doubt.

  5. Yamunyokola njala zayello. Just go back to Kabimba and plead he is the one with the key for you to get a ministerial post,yapping will not help you no wonder in your statement you are talking of 2016

    • Plead to Kabimba. Learn to be serious. Do you honestly think Lubinda is comparable to Kabimba.

      Given Lubinda can never be compared to any of the current crop of Leaders in the Opposition, he simply doesn’t have a match among them.

      He is the next PF President, painful but true.

    • Next president given lubinda with a diploma from NRDC yo foot.Zambians stop voting for preidents because he can shout the loudest .Lets go for brains and wisdom.Good moral standing in society and entreprenuaship skills should be most considered for one to be good president.Chiluba could speak eloquently and Mwanawasa was not a good speaker and yet he made a good president.Zambians woke up its not which tribe a president is coming from its what policies and ideas one have that are going to remove us form poverty.Ututu mu Zambia bwalifusya.

    • Being President is different from being a Village Headman. Some of the opposition Leaders better follow Katele Kalumba’s steps.

      Lubinda with his Diploma from NRDC is the next President of this Land

  6. Nobody is going to vote for PF. Their supporters on the Copperbelt are so disappointed such that come 2016, they either cast a ballot for the opposition or they will not turn up to vote at all.

  7. Lubinda is a focussed intelligent politician than the entire tribal party UPND.This the reason the PF did not expel him when he errored.He is a valuable asset than HH who uses his money and childish outbursts to get attention.It is true there is no credible opposition in Zambia and the PF will win the 2016 elections very easily!UPND has no plans to develop Zambia and its leader is so bitter that the bitterness has clouded his thinking!

    • What a life yu are a joker.Lubinda is intelligent with Diploma.what Unique thing has LUbinda done in kabwata as PF MP?Stop talking of bitterness which bitterness it is yu who is blinded with dont Kubeba .HH has strong conviction that he can make a good president.He knows how to creat wealth he is doing so for himself and easily traslate that for all Zambians regardless of which tribe yu belong to.Remove yo fears iam Mambwe but i trust HH.He is not Violent and bitter as yu de brainwashed to think.A bena Zambia Ubututu we eat policies and not tribe.

    • SidoMark – Get out of your shell and start seeing things as they are. Being President is far from being a Village headman, where only those that know you or your Family can vote for you.

      No Opposition Leader today, can match up to Given. I mean no one……..

  8. Plead to Kabimba. Learn to be serious.

    Given Lubinda can never be compared to any of the current crop of Leaders in the Opposition, he simply doesn’t have a match among them.

    He is the next PF President, painful but true.

  9. Lubinda the same opposition you despising will kick you out of power, you have no post, Sata and your party don’t care for you, Zambian people can see you are a reject
    and you are playing mickey mouse politics booted out because you are not to be trusted

  10. Bo Lubinda, just concentrate on how you can be accepted back, knowing you are not one of them. PF has shown you the door but you are still sticking by for reasons best known to all, filling you tummy. The other option would be you changing your name to fit in that club you are clinging onto

  11. HEMCS and his PF Party has no match from the opposition. The self proclaimed popularity by UPND is nothing as they just waste time and resources. The tribal party and its ethnic leader can not unseat the PF Patali. Of course as usual they will get seats from Southern Province and that can not make them win 2016 elections. We will massively vote for Sata and PF. PF is expected to sweep the elections in 2016.

  12. Lubinda the snake is now being used by the devil (FRED) without realizing that is how useless zayellow is.Could it be a problem of a troubled childhood or what?

  13. UPND STOP BLAMING YOUR FAILURES TO ACTIVATE YOUR PARTY. LEAVE HON. G>.LUBINDA ALONE. WHAT TIME WASTERS YOU ARE .ALWAYS COMPLAINING, BELIEVE ME YOU ARE GOING NOWHERE. LEAVE ZAYELLOW ALONE.
    WHY SHOULD HE RESIGN ? TO SATISFY YOUR EGO ? ITS CHILD’S IN UPND. MAYBE YOU DID NOT HEAR THAT CDF UTILISATION CAME OUT THE BEST COUNTYWIDE DUE TO HIS LEADERSHIP.

    KEEP ON DREAMING AND BLAMING OTHERS FOR YOUR FAILURES. LEAVE OUR MP ALONE . VIVA PF AND VIVA BA LUBINDA !

    • You got it wrong. It is Lubinda who is “advising” UPND and receiving merited response. Sort out your own problems Mr. Donald Duck!!!

  14. The tribal Bemba and Muchinga province developing PF has no chance in 2016. The whole world is watching them and Lubinda is wasting his time. This is a tribal bemba party and there is no room for Lozis.

  15. Wo Lubinda, when you were in the opposition people allowed you to visit your supporters and that is how you became popular. Can you say the same with your current administration? At times it is important to learn to speak the truth. If you want to prove how finished PF is, allow HH to go country wide and I can assure you that you will not see the end of your term. In any case you will be the first political prostitute to dump your dying party.
    Ask Kabimba who knows the truth. Are you not surprised that MCS is sending him on damage limitation country wide missions. Unfortunately, the guy is a wrong man for the assignment because he has his private agenda! GOOD BYE PF.

  16. In politics the ruling party only attack the opposition party they fear. PF and Lubinda know that UPND is at its peak and could rule after 2016. Have you ever heard a PF members attacking Cosmo Mumba or Danny Pule?, no, because they know that these are not factors and will never rule Zambia. Their fear is UPND and MMD.

    Lubinda is also making this noise because he is bored and broke, he is hoping to be noticed and be given a job by Sata

    • How can you fear a tribal party? The way HH came into politics is the problem for UPND. On Tribal Lines. Where is Chisanga, Sakwiba, Late Mtonga, Sichinga etc

    • @Njalamimba Musonda; one only fears a perceived tribal party if he/she is running a family forest party as is the case with PF.

  17. Bo Lubinda, if you think the opposition is weak then allow HH and other opposition leaders to campaign freely. Why are you scared? Did MMD restrict your freedom? The truth is you are dead scared of the almighty UPND…

  18. this talk about southern province bo lubinda be careful because the province has pf,mmd,fdd,upnd and so on, so when you want to restrict this province to upnd i begin to doubt your political intelligence

  19. Given Lubinda is deluding himself to champion the PF deception. Lubinda was fired from PF and like a dog chased from a pack comes round with a tail between his legs licking Sata and Kabimba spewing foul at UPND. The truth is that Lubunda is party less and is waiting for humiliation to be told in his face that he has no place in PF. Lubinda should have learnt lessons from GBM who is Bemba and was closer to Sata than him who Kabimba can toss like a toy. Mulenga Sata is more important to PF than Lubinda as things stand now. Kabwata constituency needs better representation as at now.

  20. YAMUNYOLA NJALA 2 YRS OUT DOOR LET SATA CALL HIM BACK B4 HE STARTS SMOKING DAGA IN PUBLIC TO GET COURAGE TO MAKE NOISE TO ATTRACT A PATIENT TO MAKE HIM MINISTER OF HIS MIN HOSPITAL

  21. given wat consoles u? do u have renewed hope of getting a job in pf. common be real and be a self made man as u have always been. be factual even

  22. Lubinda, I don’t think the multitudes of people that clogged some streets of Lusaka today escorting HH to court were all UPND cadres. I doubt that very much.

    • ….I think and am very sure that all of them were tongas. Tongas are brilliant people. Lubinda could have been right to point out that UPND does not exist beyond southern province.

      Thanks

  23. SIDO MARK intelligency is not measured by certificates one has nor is it measured by ones wealthy.Gien Lubinda is a much more intelligent politician than your HH who thrives on lies,outbursts and unnecessary confrontations with the law to attract attention.Im not Lozi but I worked with Given Luinda and Im talking from personal experience with him.HH thinks his money will take him to state house and he has managed to influence people like you and brainwashed you to a point of failng to see through the political crystal ball.HH is a business man and Zambia is not a kamtemba for anyone who thinks he has money hence he can become president.HHs wealth cannot be used as a qualification for him to be president.There is more to the presidency than childish,immature,tribal,dictatorial behaviour of

  24. If Lubinda were a clever political engineer (which i thought he was), he would have continued to lay low to analyse the political landscape so he would have known where to land if he had to jump. He has obviously read the political climate wrong. PF’s popularity has been on the wane for a long time now and the unpredictable always happen in politics. He should have learnt to play safe in case need arose to join another party and he would have been welcomed with both hands in any party. he shot himself in the foot!

  25. Given Lubinda wamuyaya, the man is the cleanest politician in Zambia, who can sale easily as a presidential candidate. Am happy to hear your voice once more. I know you shall continue to inspire people like HH, Nervers Mumba Miyand etc……

  26. Agarwal mocked the Zambian government for giving him VVIP treatment when he came to acquire the asset and eventually becoming majority owner of KCM at the current 69 per cent.
    Speaking to the Jain International Trade Organisation in Bangalore, India between March 22 – 23 this year, Agarwal told the cheering crowd how he bought KCM for a song, rather than the US$400 million asking price.
    In the 3:58-minute video, a bragging Agarwal describes his surprise at receiving a VIP welcome to the Zambian Parliament, and ridicules the then Zambian president Levy Mwanawasa for claiming that Vedanta would improve the lives of Zambians, especially those in Chingola and Chililabombwe.
    Agarwal reveals how he duped late president Mwanawasa on their first meeting that 30 members of his delegation missed…

  27. Just like MMD lost the election in 2011 and not that PF won the biggest opposition to the Patriotic Front is internal , the Panga Fighters, the People Failures , the Pathetic Fools , the Promises Foiled parties all within PF . UPND will just benefit from people not choosing PF . At it’s Hightower PF never got 50 pct, in 2016 the Sosala faction will vote MMD or NAREP , the undecided that voted PF will go for other parties including UPND, the disillusioned Western province that gave PF somes votes will go back to their cousins. PF can only win by rigging. which is possible watch out UPND.

  28. Some people may be involved in “Mickey Mouse politics” and others are involved in “political prostitution”.

    Which one is worst?

  29. Kikikikiki. I like the Snowden name for Za Yellow. It has made my day. Given Snowden Lubinda. It just suits him.
