It is interesting to follow Wynter Kabimbas’ self deception and the PF dilemma. Every intelligent political analyst can tell what Wynter is projecting himself to the PF and the Zambian people at larger. In recent months Wynter has received the highest coverage in the post newspaper and for obvious reasons, Wynter is projected as the most organized and politically correct individual. This has given Wynter extra appetite for power believing he can take over from Micheal Sata and rule Zambia. This self deception can be seen in Wynter’s style of leadership as the Secretary General of the party and Minister of Justice.

Wynter Kabimba like any Zambian has a right to aspire to the highest office of the land. However, he needs soul searching to understand the reality of Zambian political landscape. Of course Wynter is Secretary General of the party and he should know that Zambians are very intelligent and wise when it comes to selecting who rules the county. Apparently, Wynter has miscalculated his judgment due to the fact that he believes he will climb on Sata’s name and deeds. Like he has repeated said it himself; Micheal is Micheal. Sata comes’ with a long track record of being in government and political ingenuity which Wynter does not have himself.

[pullquote]I am told that Wynter failed to win an election in his own village[/pullquote]

Let’s ask Wynter basic questions to help him understand his self deception. What has he done since PF came into power as Minister of Justice? Absolutely Nothing! This is a moral question for Wynter because the gentleman has been receiving tax payer’s money without concrete actions as Minister of Justice. A lot of Ministers in the PF government regardless of them being useless as Sata would like to call them are seen to be working while Wynter is preoccupied with PF political party matters at the expense of limited national resources.

Micheal Sata was Secretary General of the MMD and served in many Ministerial capacities to which he delivered. Today, this country is yet again challenged with a constitution making stalemate due to the fact the Wynter is sitting on the Constitution. The constitution, the foundation of this country, a document we have spent huge sums of money, is sitting gathering dust in his office. In fact PF is one of most disunited, indiscipline and violent political party in the history of Zambia under the leadership of Wynter Kabimba as Secretary General. The country is misguided and has lost its direction economically and politically due to him intimidating his colleagues in PF with I know it all style and arrogance. What type of leadership is this?

There are more questions about Wynter’s leadership and vision for Zambia. Especially his personality and the whole political ideology. What has Wynter achieved in his personal capacity at individual and professional level? Some people say he is a failed lawyer. I am told that Wynter failed to win an election in his own village. What does an average Zambian think of Wynter Kabimba as a person, as Secretary General of the party and its government and as a Minister of Justice? I think if Wynter did a soul searching and personal reflection he may find that his self deception in believing that he can take after Sata is a PF dilemma.

The PF dilemma is finding and selecting a leader that can take after Sata not Wynter Kabimba. The PF dilemma is to limit Wynters’ self deception into believing that he can be the heir to Sata, he may for the PF but not for this beloved country our forefathers worked so hard to liberty. The PF dilemma is to deal with outside forces like the post newspaper that have infuriated the party and taken control of it. The PF dilemma is that it can’t co-exist without Sata. The PF dilemma is that it can’t rule without Sata. So what then for the PF?

  1. Apple will buy beats by Dr Dre headphones for over $3 billion dollars while Zambia sold its mine for $25 million only.

    • ZAMBIA DOSE NOT NEED A WITCH LIKE WINTER AS PRESIDENT.IF THIS AGENT OF SATAN CAN GO IN PARLIAMENT NO MWANGA,HE WILL TAKE THIS NATION INTO SATANISM.ALREADY HE,MBEMBE WHO SLEEPS WITH HIS ON MOTHER,NCHITO,KAINGU BELONG TO THIS DEMONIC CLUB.GOD HAS ALREADY WARNNED US NOT TO MIX WITH PIPO LIKE THIS.THEY CAN CORRUP OUR CHRISTIAN NATION.LETS GIVE THIS NATION TO A GOD FEARING PERSON……..

    • The cost of running a closed mine was k5 billion daily at that time. The machinery at the mine needs to run even under a care taker, which was govts main worry. Infact the govt was surpose to give out KCM for free to avoid the daily running costs that exceeded $25million

    • I think the author of this article is either just waking up from slumber, and therefore appears naive to the happenings in the country, or he is being “cautious” is what he is saying. How can he apportion the consititutional issue on Kabimba when Sata himself has made it clear that “let them yap” as much as they want? He also claims that “some PF ministers seem to be working”. But I wonder which ones, in light of the falling kwacha, disasterous agriculatural input, selective persecutions, etc. What then has he “seen to be working”? On Wynter Kabimba he suggests that Kabimba is getting favourable coverage from the post. Is he unaware of the cartel? (headed by Fred M’membe) which wants Kabimba to succeed Sata and all they have done to the likes of GBM, Kambwili etc?

    • I believe there is need for level headedness in choosing who takes over from Sata

      On the other hand, the article speaks volumes about one opposition leader and his moribund political party and to just have a tip of the iceberg just substitute HH wherever wynter is mentioned

  2. But who doesn’t want to be president? Wynter wants, Kabwili wants, GBM wants, Kaingu wants, Chituwo wants, Nevers wants and indeed HH wants

  3. Pf will disintegrate after the demise of sata ,winter kabimba will come out and continue with his Third Republic party,the bemba clique will continue with pf but the past paper will not exhort much influence and kambwili will form his party with a Hoe as its symbol.so all these hungry lions will be history by 2016.A wise man seeks reconciliation when he sense death but a foolish man resists the inner calling and continue oppressing his own.God said he would rather see a man repent than dying a sinner.

    • PF is already finished.

      And anyone that has been associated with this DISASTER will permanently be tainted with the smell of SH!T Sata and his incompetent CLOWNS have put Zambia in.

  4. The writer of this article in the name of press freedom whats your name you have issues with kabamba more personal than ethical and you want to hid come out in open all your articles are the same write something else dont be pesonal in your articles.This writing is like editorials in some papers even by just reading you will know the writer and the targeted readers and they will respond accordingly because the writer and readers have the same thing in common this at L T will damage the site such things go well at tumfweko and watchdog

    • My friend,i have never seen Kabimba in my life apart from seeing him in the media.But as every narmal person,who cherishes this christian nation like the author of this artcle, Has issues with this witch called Kabimba.Just for him moving no mwanga openly in parliament,makes him to be hated by every normal christian,who recognise what Jesus did for man kind.We should not leave this country in the hands of pipo who do not fear God.How can a country be blessed if we separate ourselves from God?We need Christians to stand to get the land from these satanists.

    • Awe I would not want you to know me. I will add my name after press freedom is guaranteed in Zambia!

  5. From the grape vines it is believed that the presidency will be given to either Elias Chipimo Jnr or Felix Mutati by HEMCS and not Winter. Watch this space.

    • Please don’t relocate!

      Kabimba belongs in JAIL for the theft of our CONSTITUTION, not in Government, and soon he will be there!

  6. Like him, or hate him, Kabimba is with PF for the long haul. Rubbishing him without facts and figures just won’t wash, bwana. For one thing Kabimba is consistent, for another he is not given to rabbid behaviour that we see exhibited by some people, year in, year out; people without quality, people that are wholly and obnoxiously occupied with seeking power at all cost.

  7. Well spoken concerned Citizen.
    he thinks that he will bethe next pres. of zzambia… sorry for him.. it s better i go for H.H. than him.. he has failed us..
    Wynter Kabimba as Secretary General. can not mark with kambwili and G.B.M.
    Thats why he s troubling them. Mind u Mwango Sata will replace Mumba as the Pres.of zambia. Just wait and see. W.k

  8. “Of course Wynter is Secretary General of the party and he should know that Zambians are very intelligent and wise when it comes to selecting who rules the county.”

    I disagree with above statement. Electing into office a vindictive, panga wielding and violent president and his bunch of shameless sycophants is neither intelligent nor wise. The author should retract and amend this statement.

    • You can hang with your analysis.People vote for whom they think can deliver.I have no regrets voting for Mr Sata and i don’t think i’ll still have ’em after voting for Mr sata in 2016 AGAIN……..!!

  9. he is busy campaigning for himself in the guise of sata yet deep down his heart he knows that sata is not going to continue after his term if ever he manages to complete it. the most dangerous deception is actually ‘SELF DECEPTION’. he thinks he has more experience than HH,Chipimo and other young opposition leaders forgetting that there is positive experience and negative experience. besides his record doesnt show any achievements in his life not even his law firm. lot cause

  10. The article tries to be objective but is extremely personal to a point of attacking the performance of one individual minister based on the issue of the constitution. What happened to Cabinet collective responsibility? Kabimba is Zambian, let him have a go. Not all future presidents will have travelled “Sata’s” route to become president; we all have different paths in life. Zambians, lets learn to support each other. Respecting each other starts by agreeing to disagree without necessarily bringing down each other. If Kabimba stands, good for him; let the electorate judge him.

    • Dude, it doesn’t take a genius to see that this article’s intention was not to be objective. It is a direct and accurate description of the shortcomings of ka Wynter Kabimba, thats all.

  11. The author writes: Of course Wynter is Secretary General of the party and he should know that Zambians are very intelligent and wise when it comes to selecting who rules the country

    You mean a nation that votes for a person like Sata as President makes citizens of such a nation intelligent and wise?

  12. The author’s statement that “Zambians are very intelligent and wise when it comes to selecting who rules the country” is delusional and patently false. Apart from 1964, Zambians have never voted from a well-informed and intelligent perspective and I will tell you why:
    1. In 1991, they voted for a known lier, thief and philandering twerp with no proper leadership background in the name of Chiluba despite having been informed very clearly that this man was not right for Presidency.
    2. In 2001 they “accidentally” voted for Levy purely on account of the fact that the known lier and thief selected him. Though Levy turned out to be a good leader, it was not on account of “intelligence and wisdom” that Zambians voted for him.
    3. In 2008, they voted Rupiah, a wishy-washy leader who seemed more…

  13. 3. In 2008, they voted Rupiah, a wishy-washy leader who seemed more preoccupied with making money for the family, letting Chiluba off the hook and bastardising the Constitution than running the country.
    4. In 2011, horror of horrors, they reached the nadir in leadership choice when they picked the worst of the worst. Do you call the above “very wise and intelligent when it comes to who rules the country”? Nonsense.

    • RB allowed freedom of expression and assembly and managed a growing economy that accumulated the highest foreign reserves the country has ever had. His cabinet was ethnically representative and he was a seasoned diplomat who never embarrassed the country abroad. Please keep RB off the list of Zambia’s failed leaders.

  14. my suggestion, lets pick someone from the farm to be president like Chiluba did, of course some one who is educated not these crooks with flattering words, pastor mumba failed preacher or sorry Jonah from tashishi, HH, Chipimo,wynter just to mention a few.

  15. This article STINKS of tribalism and I don’t want to associate with it. The problem with Zambians is that the majority of them, including AUTHOR OF THIS ARTICLE, have extremely low IQ. First of all, WHO THE F.U.C.K are you to stop Kabimba from aspiring for presidency? Why are not saying the same things about Chishimba Kambwili or GBM? It is not fair to treat Kabimba that way because Kabimba played a central role in organising PF until it won elections in 2011. If you don’t like just because he is not from your tribe just fcuk off, man. PF does not need i.d.iots like you bringing confusion. This is a democracy and anybody is free. Keep your tribal hatred to yourself. Where were you when PF needed help to win elections, mwe mbwa!

    • Seems you top the list of those with low IQ. Maybe you come from the same village as Winter. Do you think its wise for a Minister of Justice to expose a sick, weak frail president to court the way Winter did? and then go on campaigning around the country in anticipation of his death?

    • Theorist
      Leave the Mwembeshi ***** alone.These are the pipo Kabimba needs to mislead him even more.We dont want him to seek wise counsel as he may change and Zambians being the gullible voters they are may go for him.Some of us have seen enough of the man to conclude that he is a complete misfit for the highest office.

    • Ba boss, your comment is shocking; I can only accept it if could tell me you are NOT a genuine member of the current PF PARTY. I would encourage you to sincerely acquaint yourself with PF intra-party politics.

  16. Mushota, where are you? Have you been taken ill or have you taken unannounced leave?

    We miss your wise contributions.

    Thanks.

  17. Wynter is clearly and has never been a leader by any stretch of the imagination. However, the same can be said about literally, the whole PF lot starting from Sata, through Guy Scott, Chikwanda, Kambwili, GBM etc. If Wynter was considered a Northerner however, I doubt if all and sundry including some Bemba Chief who recently said he would give up his throne to fight Wynter, would have any beef with him. If he had been Bemba, he would have been wholly embraced by all PF Northerners as the heir apparent, the chosen one of Sata and the whole party would have rallied around him. His tribe is what makes him most unpopular with PF. They will NEVER accept a non Bemba to lead this party. I challenge all of you to prove me otherwise.

    • you are totally wrong, and you just proved that you are the most tribalist. i can challenge you to conduct the survey, bembas are the list tribalist in zambia.

    • @ Deep Thinker
      That is a fair comment on Kabimba. But, it is embarrassing to Bembas who are not tribalistic to be bunched together with i.d.i.o.t.s who can’t think beyond tribe. This has become such a big problem that without Sata as presidential candidate, we as PF are likely to lose elections in 2016. When I speak to people from other provinces most are disappointed with the way we seem to be systematically supporting only Bembas as heirs in PF. It is the same mistake HH made and he is still paying for it. As PF we tried for 10 years to win national elections but failed due to being perceived as a Bemba party; and now some i.d.i.o.ts who were not even there want to waste all that effort with their tribalistic idiocy. Tukabanyesha amenshi bamambala nga baleangala.

  18. the only sober minded person who can lead pf and the country is the deffence minister hon Edger Lungu. this will remain a fact whether one likes it or not.

    • Sober minded? Edgar? My foot! This just shows the total lack of leadership in this junk of a party called PF

    • But why are you bloggers narrowing your options to PF and it’s members?No wonder you voted for Sata.PF is just one of the many options and need you be reminded that the removal of PF will mean the restoration of our rights and the end of panga wielding cadres who even go with pangas to police stations whilst the pipo you consider your options sit and watch?

    • Please leave my dear defense minister out of this Kabimba nonsense! This man is more intelligent than most you guys think and he can do better than most of these ministers.
      President – Michael Sata
      Vice-President & Defense Min- Edgar Lungu
      Finance Min – Dr Guy Scott
      Foreign Aff – Harry Kalaba
      Health – Kasonde
      and on
      and so forth. This is the ideal top 5 I would like to see tomorrow.

  19. The language the author uses is familiar. It is reminiscent of one who said: ” A Tonga must take over from Mazoka.” In this case the author is saying that “Only a Bemba must take over from Sata.” Otherwise, had Kabimba the correct spelling of his last name and the right blood flowing through his veins, he would by now be accorded the hero’s attention in PF and the successor in waiting to the incumbent.

    • To that end, the author is right in stating that Kabimba is deceiving himself to believe that he can make it on Sata’s ticket. The Bemba stronghold does not see Kabimba in the same light that they see Sata. With all his faults and defects Sata is a hero among them. As for Kabimba, he must be subjected to absolute scrutiny.

  20. someone compained heavily for himself pretending to be campaining for the third term for persident chiluba and was driblled and hence the formation of the PF.Here again someone is pretending to be mobilising the party and compaining for his Excellency HEMCS meantime his doing for himself and he shall be dribbled too(donchi kubeba) and hence the formation of the Fourth Repubican Party…………………………

  21. Looks like you are getting jealousy of Winter. Leave him alone. Anyway, he has got what it takes to be a good leader – decency, intergrity, selfless and charisma. and of course he is young and phydically fit. That is why even our president likes him.
    Go Winter Go!! The whole country is behind you. dont listen to these cheap hyenas sponsored by HH.

    • Mpendula Kayaula, your assumption and mockery of Winter and red lips is surely ignorance on your part. Lip symptoms may result from exposure to a harsh environment, neuropathy, injury, and a number of conditions, diseases and disorders such as alcoholism, aneamia, hypothyroidism, Ischemia (insufficient flow of blood to the lips), Vitamin B 12 deficiency, etc.
      Stop insinuating things you have little understanding of. Winter Kabimba is a Zambian gentleman, who is entitled to self deception, just like HH deceived himself that UPND can win the 2011 elections and if he is capable of ruling this country, he may just pull it off, despite all the kerfuffle about his lack of success in the past and his being none Bemba. So, let the man be and stop spreading hatred!

  22. Friends can we start looking for a credible candident to rule. Sata was elected on the understanding that he had experience with local government. It is unfortunate that the man’s health has let him down. I have a belief that he would have left most of the rural areas he has created into districts into somethings to admire.

    MAGANDE
    Magande has left history of being a good economic manager. The records are there for all of us to see. At one time the kwacha almost came to K2.00 per dollar while he cleared the debts for this country with infrastructure dev.

    Others who call themselves economic managers have only managed to accrue personal wealth and nothing to show about what they have done for Zambians. Personal wealth does not translate into being a good leader – i.e HH , GBM etc.

    • No really, because even at the last PF convention, I personally and Given Lubinda had to step aside for him to win the SG position. Given Lubinda had to go for the International relations position and myself and I was beaten by Given

  23. I dont see any quality in kabimba as a president and neither can i vote for him. If thats thevidea of the post to impose you are doomed he has no quality of leadership. Kabimba is far from nevers, chipimo, hh even miyanda and of course magande. In 2011 i voted all pf councilor, mp and president but if you give kabimba anytime or kabimba vs a dog i would go for a dog

  24. Wynter K. will be another presidential by-election, a waste of govt resources. Atoping’a, just check his red lips & pale skin.

  25. Zambians have already decided that the next President of Zambia is HH. So winter and his supporters are just waisting their time.

  26. HAVE YOU BLOGGERS READ FROM ZWD, ANOTHER SCHEM BY THE CARTEL K4$(KABIMBA FOR SATA?)THESE GUYS ARE EVIL.NO WOUNDER THE MAKE LOVE WITH THEIR OWN BIOLOGICAL MOTHERS.HONESTLY,THESE ARE THE PIPO WE WANT TO RULE ZAMBIA?……
