FILE: HH Speaking to Journalist after pearing for mention

United Party for National Development (UPND) President Hakainde Hichilema has urged Zambians to replicate the 1991 political revolution in 2016.

Mr Hichilema has since encouraged Zambian not to ignore calls for unity of purpose ahead of 2016 in order to usher in a new government.

He says the power to change the country still remains in the hands of the Zambia people themselves.

Mr. Hichilema says people Zambians across political parties have no option but to unite and ensure that they usher in a government that will address all their concerns.

He says it is possible that Zambians can unite the same way they did in 1991.

Mr Hichilema adds that people cannot pretend that everything is okay in the country.

    • Well articulated? really? You see, this is the naivety that tends to expose UPND as an immature party. This guy is in the financial sector and one thing they tell you is that past performance is no indication of future performance. The conditions for 1991 were different and unique . Parties that will win are those that are invested in studying the now moment and using it to win. Am surprised this guy is banking on past event. he might as well tell Zambians to replicate the 1964 revolution that outsted colonism. That is just shallow. 1964 events were unique to that time. Today the timber for the revolution is in what PF, and the wise will take advantage of it.

      This is the under 5 mentality we are talking about

    • As much as I appreciate and enjoy reading comments by the MMD Chief Bootlicker as there are mature,on this one I would like to differ with your opinion and dismiss it with the contempt it deserves. HH has used the word replicate which means -To duplicate, copy, reproduce, or repeat.,In other definitions-one of several identical experiments, procedures, or samples.HH is saying we should use the same way of uniting as a country to remove PF Govt. During 1991 revolution our parents were against removing UNIP because UNIP used to give free coupons for mealie meal but we the youths at that time differed the odds and we removed UNIP same scenario in 2011 happened.HH is calling upon all citizens not to look at their political parties or regions but to unite in purpose to remove PF Govt.

    • When they say the man is full of envy and jealous,this is what they mean why not talk about the recent 2011 revolution. HH is Tonga and Tonga is HH,remove the hate speech on your ZWD, just maybe we can vote for you.Find a Church not bu Freemason.

    • @Abena diggers town,you have a point,but to tell you the truth,HH didn t mean what you’ve just pointed out.This guy has no programme.It is better to condermn with an alternative in mind.This is not HH’s case.MMD BOOT LICKER is 100% right.I would like to know HH’s christian position.He can not pretend to rule a christian nation while being a freemason.We need a God fearing person………………………………..

    • for the first time i agree with saulosi……By the way saulosi,what do you think about Boman Lusambos statment when he called UNPD “ingombe illed party”?….ahahaha….

    • @Fjt
      I think Bowman Lusambo was right to say that. Ichilema came in UPND on a tribal vote. Sakwiba Sikota should have been the president, but he was pushed out in favour of under 5 because he wasn’t Tonga.This party has tribe as a foundation.

    • Folks,

      I do not subscribe to this idea that over 65 politicians can still shape a good future for us the young (under 5). I am a proud supporter of a team of young women and men in UPND ,who most of the over 65s or those with over 65 mentality label as the under 5. Over 65 mentality does not inspire any confidence at all for it does not embrace innovation. To those with over 65 mentality, any innovative idea frightens them. They are simply resistant to change.

      Its common Knowledge now that only 65s and those with over 65 mentality support retrogressive parties with retrogressive ideas like UNIP, MMD and now PF.

      Complacency coupled with over 65 mentality got UNIP, and MMD out of power. I can confidently predict, that PF will also kicked out because over 65 mentality.

    • Akainde Ichilema is really a political nondescript, a typical ngombe ilede pedestrian politician. His naivety and lack of political and leadership ingenuity and inventiveness is astounding.

      He doesnt even understand what a political revolution means. Those who care about him and eat his crumbs, tell him that a real revolution is not a slogan.

      This is the reason why United Party for No Development must dump the chap and bring in a sensible leader who can help stop the free fall of this once vibrant party. save it from political abyss.

      I pity the blind followers of this chap with a fogged-up brain, a real example of a political topsy-turvy living in f00ls paradise…..

    • Now its clear that the battle line has been drawn between the Under 5 (UNPD) and the over 65 (UNIP,MMD and PF).

      What makes it even interesting is that those with over 65 mentality, disregard history forge ahead as though time has remained stationary. Over 65 mentality got UNIP and MMD out of power because the over 65 politician reached a stage in their lives where they do not embrace change at all. PF is soon to be booted out for the same reasons.

      MMD replicated what UNIP was doing as the over 65s took centre stage. Now PF is also replicating what UNIP did because the over 65s have also taken centre stage.

      With this kind of over 65 mentality Zambia and Africa as whole is going no where interms of sustainable development and self reliance. Africa will continue begging.

    • MMD CHIEF BOOT LICKER YOU HAVE SAID IT ALL. IF I WRITE I WILL DEFINITELY WRITE THE SAME POINTS YOU HAVE BROUGHT OUT. BECAUSE, AFTER READING JUST THE HEADLINES THOSE ARE THE THINGS EXACTLY THAT CAME TO MY MIND. PLOT 1 YALIMUTOBO MUTWE UMWAICE HH.

    • HH is absolutely right to call for the youth (under 5s) to mobilise like they did in 1991 to boot out this useless PF party controlled by the over 65s. I fully support HH ‘s mission, because he believes in empowering the youth to work hard and prosper rather than the PF which promotes ukutolafye.

      HH is the only hope and help for Zambia going forward. Those over 65 laggards, will realise that they should have rallied behind HH when its too late.

      UNIP is dead and buried. MMD is dead only awaits burial. PF is is ailing and will soon succumb to the kiss of death.

      The up coming by elections will provide concrete proof to what I am on about here.
      I am very confident that, Magongo, Solwezi central, Vubwi, Mulobezi and petauke are already in UPND’s kitty.

      Forward with UPND and…

    • What a fake “self-acclaimed” financial knowledgable MMDBootlicker! It’s easy to cherry-pick and say “past performance” is no indicator to future performance! That same thinking is what drives the financial sector if you’re buying stocks for those of us who invest in such! Historical performance is key, and as of now go to any acclaimed financial guru, even Warren Buffet, he will tell you the historical trend of the Dow Jones Industrial index, and how that governs his investment strategy. What world are you living in if you don’t know the old adage that we learn from history to shape the future! Go back to Grade school for some fundamentals! In my line of job, if you cannot replicate a biological experiment, your hypothesis is null, and if replicated, then it lays foundation for…

  1. 1991 will never be replicated. Then it was all Zambians against KK and his UNIP. Today Zambians are up against the world’s filthiest party that shouldn’t have been voted in the first place and the outlook doesn’t promise any change in the status quo, what with a disorganised opposition, comprising of major and lots of one man parties, this is no way to dislodge PF. If the opposition could unite (this is impossible of course) they could easily get rid of our nightmare govt.

    • @ Wantanshi: It is the people that make the opposition strong. It is NOT the opposition that makes itself strong. Don’t blame the opposition, they are operating under very unfriendly environment. I believe people have seen the Tribalism in PF (appointments) and they are surely going to change this in 2016.

    • @mike
      You are correct but how I hope the opposition would throw in everything they have to remove PF. I also hope the vote will not be split to allow the miscreant PF to govern again.

    • @wantashi

      The truth be told here. Its the Bemba vote that will be split as some will vote for PF-Sata and others will vote for NAREP-Chipimo and some Bembas will go back to MMD- Mumba. That the Bemba vote divided by three. They will share the 42% if going by the CIA census report is correct.

      Ife kumawa , Central , Southern,Western ,Lusaka , North western and 80% of CB going to vote for UPND a serious party.

  2. even if they unite to dislodge pf it definately it wont be ichilema to boue voted into power wabeja musaa . pf will continue for 30 years ,akalema is consumed by envy

    • May educate most Zambians with a strong phobia against any Tongas contesting for presidency that we are so poor today because of our voting pattern.We are all Zambians this stone age way of thinking has made a once 4th largest economy in Africa with its GDP above of south korea and that of Malaysia as at 1964.Brothers don’t vote for someone just because is Bemba or Tonga look at the qualities of these leaders.Zambia now is one of 4 poorest countries in Africa.Currently the PF are making the same mistake that UNIP made of borrowing beyond our capacity to payback.My fellow Zambians my heart bleeds to see Zambians affiliating themselves to parties and presidents who are cleary incompetent just because they want to be identified as the ruling tribe even when there is nothing to show.Iam a…

    • mixed breed my father is TONGA + SHONA and MUM is BEMBA + KAONDE so tribe me is not very important and it does not put food on my table.The bottom line is that iam Zambian.I know deep down my heart that HH is the best candidate and can deliver and make the fulture of our chilgren brighter.Many Zambians know that but just because he is Tonga then his hated so much by other Zambians who don’t appreciate Zambias tribal diversity.Brethren don’t be afraid of tribe but a bad leader ,who can come from any tribe be it Bemba ,Nyanja Luvale Lozi,or Tonga.

    • insult not the pipo of God. i think its you who id full of your self. cont speak for others. Zambians are not foolish mwana

  3. You’re the only Man remained for Mother Zambia from Mwanawasa M.H.S.R.I.P. You’re still Energetic. What I mean is, WE DONT WANT EXHAUSTED AND TIRED LEADERS IN OUR COUNTRY. They just want to benefit for tthemselves and there poor Family Members. HH Zambia Foward.

    • WHICH ZAMBIA ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?NOT THE CHRISTIAN NATION.IF YOU READ THE BOOK OF MARK,YOU WILL SEE THAT JESUS NEVER WANTED TO BE PUBLISED BY DEMONS.WHAT MAKES YOU THINK JESUS WILL GIVE THE LEADERSHIP TO HAKAIVOTELA,HAKAIVOTELA THE FREEMASON.LET HIM RENOUNCE PUBLICLLY THAT HE IS NOT FREEMASON.THERE IS POWER IN CONFESSION…………DON T JUST BE STUCK ON YOUR TRIBE

    • FTJ you mean all is well now because Sata is ruling by the 10 commandments ? The wastage of tax payers money is christian? The harassment of opposition leaders? Christian?

  4. ….and which govt will address all their concerns? PF is doing better than any political party ever did. Try something else.

  5. By Zambians I am sure HH means Tongas. Us we will vote for our own since like HH once said “only a Tonga can rule UPND”.

  6. Revolution against what? What is not right? Thats what we want to hear and you provide a solution or what you intend to do to correct the situation. Because for me there is no sense in the article because you havent pointed out what is wrong which can warrant a revolution.

  7. Mr HH, even if there was revolution, I for one would not vote for you and for your information, a lot of us know that you are talking about yourself being at the helm. Why are you so impatient, you only joined the ring a few years ago. Chill man and get experience. And you bloggers who insult others with contrary views about HH, you are blind followers who think internet is voting and winning elections. No, the voters do not even access this system like you and I. I rest my case, come 2016, we will see who has been ordained by God, of course not a free-mason!!!

  8. Coming to think of it, I think HH was not old enough in 1991 to understand why we did that. There were shortages of food and dictatorship was at its best then. How do we trust HH if he does not understand Zambian politics with the country. This Kid will never stop amazing me.

    • Shortage of ARVs for HIV patients,
      Mealie meal, petrol too expensive,
      Excessive Gov borrowing,
      Most projects have halted because of misused public funds,
      Sata is arrogant, he wont even shore his face to his employers,
      Public order act ( a colonial law)
      many more reasons…..

  9. Crap ! Revolution my foot ! How many times have you deluded yourself in this way in the past ? No state house for you son.

    • Funny thing is many people said the same thing about Sata before 2011 elections. One blogger even likened Sata to Chama Chakomboka…lol

  10. HH your weakness is : you are ever attcking the goverment instead of selling your party manifesto.

    People what to know your stratagy to transform the economy. Will ve all seen the failures of PF dont tell us.

    • In so far Mr. Facts, you are not stating any facts.
      The facts in front of our eyes is that PF has failed in every one promises made in their manifesto.
      As to UPND and any other party manifesto, wait for the next election. Where in the world you state your manifesto before knowing the date of election? China?

  11. Which revolution? If at all there was a revolution, it has already happened in 2011 when we removed MMD. PF is doing well. At least they are working hard. Look at all the infrastructrural developement going on, surely can a honest person say they are doing nothing? Come on HH be honest!! Just what are you going to do differrent if at all you come into state house? We know what problems our country has – we have been depending on copper for a very long time and we need to expand our export base. Even if you came into office, you will face the same problems.

    • Blind dreamer. Please tell us about PF achievements… Tax exemptions for crooks and criminals? 135% taxation on workers canteen food? 135% tax on provision of clean drinking water? Annual increase in pay and allowances for parasites?

    • @ ME

      ZRA has started taxing workers canteen meals @ 100% + 35%(Practice Note 1/2014, page 34, Par. 17.2 Section 44(l) of the Income Tax Act). Same for clean mineral drinking water. FACTS

  12. Am not PF but this man has started barking up the wrong tree. . . Unfortunately he wont stop.
    There is no political party we can entrust Zambia with.

  13. I think for now some of us are content with PF, like most of you have pointed out, PF may not have fulfilled all the campaign promises, which is normal. Lets give PF a bit of some time, 15, 17 years or so, unless we have very strong reasons that they should be voted out before two the terms. At least here where we are, we traveling on good roads, since the coming in of PF, in my view GOD BLESS ZAMBIA.

    • Only members of PF who have been given diplomatic jobs and a favored for in contracts and Government appointments support PF. Everybody else does not like PF not in western, southern, northwestern, Lusaka or Eastern province . In 2016 we will test Muchinga province majority and kolwestan politics

  14. Revolution against WHAT! Bring out what you’ll do different. Roads, clinics, schools are been constructed by the PF. So what is HH going to construct? Maybe constructing in the sky. VIVA PF. Keep dreaming and coming up with all sorts of theories which will never be in practice.

    • @Zibwidi

      You are really a zibwidi. Have you not heard that the PF has suspended or abondoned all projects due to lack of funds? 650 clinics promised will not be built. So dream on in Donchi kubeba land.

      Do your research, first before commenting here because you end up showing your ignorance and stupidity.

  15. Then in my view I think its not good to keep changing governments so very often, unless like I alluded to earlier there are very strong reasons in doing so and personally I am not aware of those very strong reasons to warrant a revolution. GOD BLESS ZAMBIA.

    • @Special agents.

      There is no well performing economy where leaders are not changed. Even in China, its a must leadership is changed every after 10 years.

      Governments are not monarchies.They for the people and by the people. As such the people should be allowed to choose whether to vote for the current government or boot them out if they fail to perform.

      I know you are saying this from a an extremely selfish point of view because you know that your job relies on the PF. Wait after they suck you, thats when you will start feeling the need to change the government. Right now its all milk and honey for you because you get what you want from the PF while those not close to PF are suffering despite being PF.

      So according to you, we should have maintained the colonial government. hey?

  16. a lot of 1diots blogging from the diaspora think us who are experiencing suffering are going to praise pf for the misery they have brought. brothers and sisters here on the ground pf is finished. you dont even vote from the diaspora. come elections pf is going, after all sata is pf and pf is sata. with his eminent departure from earth so is his party. at the moment the only viable alternative is HH.

    • WANZELU : where are you , missing your postings, what do you say about the pics in Milpark Clinic, are they not genuine? please your comment

    • Those pictures are fake. I said it soon after Kazimu’s accident that, the PF will now try to use Kazimu’s situation to lie to us that Sata was indeed back from Israel is goind to South Africa to see his son.

      The fact is Sata never came back to Zambia from Israel. He went straight to South Africa, where the doctors agreed to perform a risky a organ transplant operation.

      My wish is for Kazimu to make quick recovery and prevent his organs from being harvested.

      Something is fishy here. How come the driver escaped unscathed. My theory is Kazimu might have been bashed deliberately together his friends. Its a very sick world out there. Some are even ready to sacrifice their children to stay alive.

  17. 1991 was for multi-party participatory democracy!

    Alas! Even politicaly parties have never really been free after the historic 1991 elections.

    People must ask for more freedom and full representative democracy of the majority of the peope. Now, we have dictatorship by minorities – mainly Bembalism!

    We need indepenence of all political parties: not just the Ruling party. We need independence of all regions, all districts, all constituences, all wards, Chiefdoms, and freedom of the Barotse Kingdom. Village Indunas should be given back power and allowances to sustain themselves. Overall, we need freedom of the people from the current black colonialist at Cabinet [Executive} Judiciary and at Parliament!

    We want people to Rule themselves and not be Rule by a few, in this age!i

  18. Why is HH (Haleisa Haleya) so ashamed to make reference to the 2011 political revolution which ousted MMD from power that he can only talk about the 1991 revolution? Haleisa Haleya and his UPND should concede that they lack national appeal and at the moment they only have 18% popularity which is a drop from 19% which they enjoyed in the immediate past election(2008).UPND has reached its climax as there are no new supporters beyond their traditional stronghold of southern province where it enjoys a massive support of 71%.This is a party which used to claim that it was more popular than PF in Central Province before latest election only to obtain 20% share of votes in the province behind the PF which got 28%.UPND is basically paying the price for practicing “TRIBAL POLITICS”.

  19. In 1991 it was for multi party introduction. in 2016 it will be for integrity, accountability and poverty eradication! That is what dear mother Zambia needs to move to the next level and HH has the capacity. he is intelligent, energetic, and understands socio- economic development. Lets give him a chance!!

    • Zambian’s will never give a chance to anybody who practices tribalism. It is a fact that HH found himself at the helm of UPND ahead of bo Sakwiba Sikota on tribal grounds. The Lozi people were and are still not happy with the way they were deprived of UPND’s top leadership position and this explains why they have significantly withdrawn their support for the party as shown from the latest election results (2011)which UPND only got 28% share of total votes in western province.

    • I have never heard of HH’s programme,what he will do and how he will improve the current situation.He just like attacking form nowhere and without base.See how Nevers is doing his politics.One has to condermn when it is necessary to do so.Not the way HH is doing as if he chasing cattle from the stable………HH sees Sata has hie enemy instead of seeing him as political opponent.No SPACE FOR YOU FREEMASON.Tell Zambia who really you are.Thats why you fail to smile because you have sold your soul to the devil……….Confess publically if you are not a freemason

  20. I agree with you HH, not everything in the country is okay. On the other hand, I am not aware of any country on planet Earth where “everything” is okay. No matter who occupies plot 1 in Zed, “everything” will NEVER be okay. Having said that, the Zedians themselves, collectively will decide who will occupy plot 1 in 2016! May the best candidate win then!

  21. Bwana Hichilema, what kind of unity are you talking about when you are on record insulting Zambians who support other political parties other than yours. Refer to responses by Dr Nevers Mumba and the MMD youth League to your earlier statement that “those who support MMD are out of their mind”

    You must still offer an apology to MMD and then move on.

  22. A revolution in 2016! Yes, in Ng’ombe Ilede State, it is possible, but in Zambia there is no reason for such a revolution. PF has continued to enjoy massive support across the country. Massive development all over. Then what is a revolution for? If it is just spontaneous revolution, Sata will stll be president in 2016 because he has performed and people will rally behind him. By the way, I’m not privy to the goings on in the f00ls paradise. HH could have a point in that sphere. We who are on this blissful side can not cross over to the f00ls paradise. There is a schism in between.

  23. All the *****s condeming HH s statement should look back and see sense in what the CEO of the PF said.The PF is the most tribalistic party in the history of the country and the most indesplined party.This came out of Kabimba’s own mouth.There was an outbreak of protests when Kabimba was acting President when the Cobra was in Isreal. So who is tribal here?Its okay for ABC to act as President but not Kabimba and why? Everything is based on triba in PF.All parastatals are headed by Bembas and nobody says anything.The only qualification in PF is tribe.I hope Kabimba can take over and put those Bemba behind bars like Levy tried to do to Kafupi.Look at all the PS and their deputies and see where they hail from

    • UPND has realized that they have no chance to outwit other parties beyond southern province. Southern province is the only province where UPND has massive popularity of 71% leaving the remaining provinces with less than 35% popularity.

      The revolution must take place within UPND as a party failure to which the party will continue to have the same number of people supporting it.

    • Guys just wait for the by elections to begin to judge UPND and HH.

      UPND is earmarked to win all the by elections.

  24. I can see this tribal thing getting nasty as 2016 draws near – especially on ZWD where only one sided comments will be published. At least on LT opposing views are allowed. Anyway, my advice to HH is that he should campaign hard in areas where UPND is not very strong and be seen to be accommodating rather than this pompous chatile I see.

  25. @MMD Bootlicker u r an *****.

    HH has all the Credentials to b a PRESIDENT of ths Republic. The only problem he has is tht:

    He lacks CHARISMA & shud improve on tht. Politics is ALL ABOUT CHARISMA. Look at Dean, Chiluba, Mazoka, Nkumbula and all the like. They had GREATER CHARISMA to ginger PEOPLE

    • @Anderson Chisala

      You speak a lot of sense my bro. Leave these PF minion living in f00ls paradise called donchi kubeba.

  26. …@MMD Bootlicker u r an *****.

    HH has all the Credentials to b a PRESIDENT of ths Republic. The only problem he has is tht:

    He lacks CHARISMA & shud improve on tht. Politics is ALL ABOUT CHARISMA. Look at Dean, Chiluba, Mazoka, Nkumbula and all the like. They had GREATER CHARISMA to ginger PEOPLE

  27. UPND suffers from superiority complex and as a result they will never accept to be second best.This is a party which has blown up several opportunities of parties uniting for the simple reason that it always want to lead. HH(Haleisa Haleya) a few days ago was questioning the morals of all those supporting MMD but expects these people to support him. Reality has dawned on him that UPND has no national appeal as even young voter’s have rejected his party as can be deduced from the party’s 18% national popularity.

  28. Seems HH is convinced PF can only be unseated via a revolution. It is irresponsible to condition masses for civil disobedience so that you can ride on their backs into State House. In any case, it will be difficult for you to stop the disorder when you are head of state. Take leaf from the countries that have gone though similar regime change in the recent past.

    2016 is not far away. Polish your manifesto and win the next elections. Your cheaper (but dangerous) talk is not building the nation.

    Peace is priceless! You won’t enjoy your wealth when chaos erupts.

  29. Just how did HH come into politicks , he must first sit down and read or let those old enough to council him he is just out of touch , how can he talk about the events of 1991 , he wasn’t in Zambia maybe he was still a baby the dynamics of today are very different from 1991 , how does he compare the two, total foolishness is he a confused character who has no clue , to the needs of Zambians;

  30. Zambians are tired of medical tourism, trotting all over the world on medial secret journeys when Zambia needs development. We need change to young blood not over 65s. The risk is high on medical expenses and evacuation to unknown destinations. Zambians are interested in service delivery than ‘Donchi Kubeba’.

  31. This guy can be an economist but very blank to the issue in point, or is he a day dreamer or has no heart for what he is vying for, poor boy he must go to school and learn about Zambian history than just wake up and make blunders , how can you intrust him with power he is a novice

    • @nshilimubemba
      What Zambian history are talking about here? Are you on about same history of failed regimes like UNIP, MMD and now the PF. Zambia now needs a young leader who can think out of the box and HH is such a leader. Thats why he alone is respected even by the white investors in Zambia. He has whites working under him across the world.He never made his money in politics and yet he can not be compared to some of you who believe politics is the means to put food on the table.
      Zambians need to change this mediocre mind set to prevent Zambia becoming like Zimbabwe. Look at how Zimbabweans who still believe that only Ka mugabe can rule are in deep sh1t.
      Bwana tribalism aside HH is only candidate to change the face of Zambia.I know most of you PF guys are Bembas thats why you…

    • @wanzelu Iwe ch i kala mulibe nzelu. Ati “HH has whites working under him across the world”? What did you smoke boy, can you name one of these whites “across the world” who works for ka HH? you have s h i t for brains

    • Can you imagine this Wanzelu talking about aba sungu,what a complex you have.Its appalling coming from someone who is in UK, if my Grandmother said that i would forgive her, not you!
      Or is it because of that Germany muzungu kekekekekeke.

      Utterly disgusted.

  32. People will always go for what is reasonable , if HH will be reasonable he may peoples hearts but if the opposite is true he can do nothing , see what they did to saki in their party it will take long for people to forget

  33. @nshilimubemba, Saki lost hands down. And may be it was just as well that he did. With hind sight, the people who voted did the right thing otherwise UPND would have been history eons ago. Where is Saki’s party, did not this guy abandon it to campaign for RB, nafuti nafuti? For your information, the people who followed Saki to his new party are back with UPND. Get your facts right and not just kubwatabwata.

    • @Saimbwende

      What about the vicious tribal war brewing in Southern province now that HH has directly instructed that a non-Tonga mayor be frustrated because HH wants a tonga mayor in that southern province town for him to win elections. This is the same tactic he used to win his UPND presidentship. You must remember that you have tongas serving in other parts of the country…and people are watching. Listen, no matter how you goons pretend, HH is a hardcore tribalist. The problem right now is you put HH in state house and Zambia will be a very divided country by the end of his first 5-year term, he might even end up splitting the country. Just wait. Right now some of us are sounding like demagogues; one day you will all be crying, but it will be too late for most of you.

  34. No matter however HH tries to pretend, he is a tribalist. I am always one of those who have constantly challenged him about how he came to lead the UPND, chucking others out because they were non-Tonga. He has never apologised for that. Today a non-Tonga Mayor in Southern province is constantly under pressure from HH himself because he fears he has been planted there to ensure he doesn’t win enough votes in that town. This HH is supposed to be the so-called possible future president of this country. It is a disaster waiting to happen. This guy is not fit to be president. All the information about what is happening is openly available if you know where to get it. We know what is happening. HH is, always has been, and remains a hardcore tribalist. You vote for him at your own peril.

  35. @MMD Chief Bootlicker
    I wholly agree with your assertions . The 1991 situation is totally different from the current situation ,and the caliber of politicians who were championing the introduction of multi party democracy are very different .
    You cannot compare FTJ ,the political genius to a political misfit who has failed to align himself to the Zambian political system.

  36. my bros @wanzelu and wantanshi
