With four days to go before the August 19th Mangango polls, campaigns have heightened among political parties participating in the by-elections.
Movement for Multiparty Democracy President Nevers Mumba has joined the campaign team in the constituency to ensure that the former ruling party retains the seat.
Dr. Mumba who was received thunderously by party cadres described the mood in his camp as good and that the party is hopeful that it will  emerge victorious on Tuesday as people trust the candidate and the party.
The opposition leader addressed three successful rallies where he appealed to members to avoid being caught in fights like other political parties who are trying to use violence to gain political mileage as doing so would be going against what the party has always stood for.
He condemned all the parties that are using violence as a way of wining votes  saying parties should use ideas and their manifestos to win votes as opposed to violence.
He also called on the electorate to vote wisely and ensure that they elect some one who will not be a tourist when they go parliament but someone who would represent them effectively.
Meanwhile the opposition leader paid courtesy calls on the area chief and the catholic priest in charge of St Joseph church where he had fruitful discussions with the duo.
Speaking during the visit by the opposition leader Chief Mwene Mutondo of the Nkoya people said the people in his chiefdom were tired of the violence that some parties were perpetrating and called for peaceful campaigns in the few remaining days.
The traditional leader blamed the violence on the cadres that have been ferried from Lusaka who are now causing havoc in the constituency by beating any one with divergent views.
The traditional leader who appreciated Dr. Mumba’s visit urged him to continue in politics as the country desperately needs a God fearing man to take up the leadership of the nation.
An d the MMD candidate  in the by-election Charles Mwenzala appealed to voters to vote for him because he was a tested leader who has held different positions in the community and people know what he has done.
He said he was councilor for thirteen years and his works are known in the ward and the several positions he held were a training for him to represent his people at a higher office.
Ok ! Good to know.May the best party win.
You are wrong AGAIN, its not the Party, its about candidate. You need a retreat…@Saulosi.
Best parties are not participating:
– Heritage
– UNIP
-FDD
– and Milupi’s party , I don’t know it.
@Nostradamus
Which one is your party? I thought UPND is your party ? Heritage is dead(although Miyanda blogs here a lot) and so is UNIP(i wonder where Tilyenji is). FDD has also been sleeping, ever since Hikainde referred to Nawakwi as a kitchen girl she has gone quite. Milupi`s ADD is a family party, it is only him,his wife and his children that are members. He(Milupi) has kept on winning in a constituency where he was born though(mwanawakwitu).
This is for PF to lose.Ni bwato !!!
Is hat why Hakainde all of a sudden u-turned back to Mangango even when he told them he was going.
Thought he will play the tribal card, no way
Kalube vhanu uko ba MMD. The Battle is between UPND & PF.
Now the campaign has started!!…. Mangango shall be saved!!
But where is Ndobo’s President Dr. Milupi? Mangango is his home area.
-PF candidate is old, should be adviser to MPs.
-UPND candidate is too juvenile, he is behaving worse than Masumba.
-MMD candidate is perfect.
-HERITAGE we are not participating again.
who is the God fearing person , my foot . Nevers will never be a God fearing ,he is a DICTATOR , the chief just doesn’t no the man . on the other hand he is under pit cot Govt . I don’t know if it is by design that people from mpika Chinsali should be like this look at kaseba alifilwa nokuteka amatako panshi asebelafye , without taking care of her husband . by the way she is been proposed to take over from her husband . hence bunasebele inda yamulubansa
Dr Nevers Mumba is the antidote to all the misrule,abuse and health scare issues that Sata has shown.Educated too and God fearing unlike the lying venomous cobra who is MIA.
which education ,Bu doctor ni honorary bwakupelwa fye.
He is a mere form five from Hill Crest .
Robin – Not sure what your underrstanding of education is. The last time I checked someone is only honored when there percieved to have excelled in that field.
Whether you hate him or not, he is refered to and addressed as Dr Mumba world over
Imported cadres from Lusaka have been disciplined by UPND. How do you go to Mangango and start burning bridges. Well done mangango community and well done UPND. No nonsense. Mwaliteta no longer abusing public vehicles. You will be sorted out. I think UPND has brought sanity to Mangango.
As for MMD just ask UNIP what happens when you are out of power. Nervers Mumba has nothing new to offer which MMD could not do in 20 years.
In siNkoya, Mwene means Chief, so I wonder why Zambians keep on saying Chief Mwene Mutondo.
Lies don’t help… Sata told Kaseba he was going to Beijing via Kuala Lumpur where he would board the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 to his final destination. Now, the plane is missing, Ukwa Katongo is stuck at Suba’s house; he can’t go back to State House because there are no survivors. And Zambia continues on auto pilot!
i am so excited my fellow chicalas. once mmd wins I am 1 step closer to big tax payers money and government loans. i cant wait to invite my fellow dum citizens to vote for the crooked mmd party
One has to be mad in the extreme to vote for a cantankerous Bemba with zero intellectual ability like Mumba for president. All Zambians, especially Loziz, are tired of this Katangese lot spoiling things for everybody in Zambia.
U think the tribal card will help, hehehehee
Mzambia wa zamani,
Mumba is a mere Form 5 from Hilcrest, that Dr you see is honorary just like that of Chiluba and Kaunda. Otherwise th!ey are all in the same uneducated bwato like SataN Bin Hiding!
if only voting was done online,upnd would have been in state house a decade ago.Dont deceive yourselves ba upnd,this online popularity you enjoy has and will never translate into votes that you need to win an election.You forget that bloggers are actually non voting Zambians based in the diaspora.And like one blogger mentioned,if you keep insulting the Bemba speaking people which comprise a large percentage of voters,you will keep losing.
So Bembas should be insulting us just for there vote.You don’t know Tongas you.These are just politics, win or loose at the end of the day a tonga does not care. The message should e oth Tongas and Bemba bloggers should lern to tolerate each other.Let us urge and differ in principle and not allying each other Ames please I beg ooo.
The Seat is for PF cos we are happy with the good roads being done……long live PF for continued development.The violent UP and DOWN has no chance in Mangango.
For the record Nevers was an A student at the illumionous Hillcrest Technical School school at the time one of the two schools with DK reserved for the ultra brilliant students.
He refused to go to UNZA in preference for answering the call of God to go into full time ministry. Was at CFAN For All Nations Bible School to sudy theology for 4 years.
He did his 2 year masters’ programme at Regent University, Richmond Virginia US in Public Policy (Governance). All this time HH was looking after cows in Monze.
Thats why he does not undestand democracy and non-violence.
Nkoya chief is spot-on. Of all the thugs in Mangango only MMD has been exemplary and shoud get the vote to save people from electoral related deaths going forward.
Katongo Nsamba. Of course better a Nevers Presidency than Michael Sata . At least he will try and behave like a God fearing person , he has promised too many people all over the world that “Zambia shall be saved” However He will need to get a leadership team that can execute based on skills not Mchingaism bcs a bit suspect on the intellect side – Check your records about A Level student at Hillcrest , that may not be true.
