TOURISM and Arts Minister Jean Kapata has threatened that she will mobilise party members and deal with people claiming that the Patriotic Front (PF) is the most undisciplined ruling party Zambia has ever had.
Ms Kapata said Zambians were awere that some media houses had embarked on a crusade to demonise the PF and selected government leaders so as to divert attention from its own peoblems.
She said a named media house was attacking Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda because they had failed to “convert him so that he could trade his political soul with their agenda of breaching tax laws by avoiding to pay tax’’.
“Those claiming that PF is the most undisciplined must know that they enjoyed the goodwill of President Sata and the PF and must stop behaving like they own the party.
‘‘The PF is not their party for them to continue weeping and mourning about the dismissal of their friend. Since their friend was fired, the PF had become tribal, corrupt, violent and undisciplined.
‘‘The media house has gone too far and let them know that we can easily stop them. They were tolerated by the previous governments and they thought they would manipulate the PF. Their time of reckoning is coming very soon,” Ms Kapata said.
Ms Kapata said it had become clear that the media house had embarked on a crusade to destroy the ruling party following the dismissal of a strong ally of the media house.
Ms Kapata said the PF was aware that the media house was behaving like a political party and that the ruling party was gong to orgasnise itself and defend President Michael Sata and Edgar Lungu who is Defence and Jusctice minister as well as seceretary general of the party.
Ms Kapata apealed to President Sata and Mr Lungu to quickly deal with all the government and party officials whose loyalty was divided because those were the people stealing and leaking State secrets.
She said the PF ‘‘experienced the worst forms of violence before Mr Lungu was appointed secretary general and that calm had returned to the party.
Ms Kapata said the people who were causing confusion in the PF were those whose layolty was divided and that it was time President Sata and Mr Lungu cleansed the ruling party so that it could concentrate on delivering to the people.
She said it was a reality that there was a cartel in the PF and that the sooner President Sata and Mr Lungu dismantled it, the better for the stability of the ruling party.
She revealed that most of the district comissioners and political secretaries across the contry were not loyal to President Sata because they believed they got their appointments through other influences.
And a PF strong supporter Rechael Chileshe has given the media house a 48-hour ultimatum to withdraw its claims that the ruling party was the most indsciplined Zambia has ever had or face the wrath of the cadres.
Ms Chileshe threatened that should the media house continue attacking the ruling party leadership, she would have no option but open what she termed a “can of worms”.
It is about time !
Wapya munzi.
The post is being vilified and threatened by its bedmate for telling the truth. How nice! I saw this coming. Its gona get ugly once Mmembe pays his tax arrears in full, thats if he is clever enough.
PF is the most indisciplined, most corrupt, most confused and above its led by the most stupid people.
I can’t wait to see how these Panga wielding factions in PF will battle it out. As long they keep it within their party.
This is a case of unprotect s.ex` then “`divorce/seperation“,,,, !,,, when did mmembe know that PF was the most indisciplined party???,,, as an observer, i want know who has the indiscipline virus or kaswende between PF and mmembe post,,, knowing that the two were se,xmates,,, we want to fnd the cure
Am not sure, but I thought Wynter is the one who labeled PF as such?
Threatening violence by a Minister does not help to didprovr the allegation against PF.
If a Minister gets away with such behavior what will stop us from concluding that is party policy?
Someone calls you indisciplined and your response is “Naisa first intole amabwe (Let me first pick some stones to hit you)”! Mmmmh! It confirms what the Post is claiming, I think.
Not only the most in disciplined but also the dullest.The reaction of Kapata confirms that much as I hate Membe and his Past
TOURISM and Arts Minister Jean Kapata has threatened that she will mobilise party members and deal with people claiming that the Patriotic Front (PF) is the most undisciplined ruling party Zambia has ever had.
The statement above in itself shows high levels of indiscipline in PF. This party seems not to have a spokesperson in the sense that everyone and anyone can comment on anything and everything. It is true PF is the most undisciplined party of all times. Who fights in front of the Party Secretary General in full view of the media at a function organized to show solidarity? This only happens in PF.
What?? These shameless women using uneducated cadres to threaten people. Wait until you get attacked by these thugs yourselves one day that’s when you’ll learn. Don’t intice jobless youths to cause harm.
MADAM KAPATA YOU ARE REALLY A WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE.THE POSTNEWSPAPER HAS TRULY GONE FAR IN THEIR SCANDERLOUS SO CALLED NEWS.AND I DONT KNOW WHY THE ENTIRE PF PARTY CAN FAIL TO DEAL WITH THESE *****S MASCARADING AS THE CHAMPIONS OF OPINIONS AND YET THEY ARE JUST CROOKS TRYING TO CHAMPION THEIR SELFISH CHARACTERS.
WHY SHOULD THE PF BECOME CORRUPT OVERNIGHT JUST BECAUSE THEIR FRIEND HAS BEEN SHOWN THE DOOR? ITS VERY SAD.
ME I DONT MIND IF THIS NEWSPAPER CAN BE SHUT DOWN BECAUSE THEY NO LONGER BEHAVE AS JOURNALISTS BUT AS POLITICIANS.
MY KUDOS TO MADAM KAPATA
MY KUDOS TO SATA
MY KUDOS TO LUNGU
MY KUDOS TO THE REST OF THE PF MEMBER
WHERE IS MY COMMENT NAIMWE BA TIMES.ARE YOU SUPPORTERS OF THE POST?
THATS THE WAY MADAM SHOW MMEMBE THAT HE IS NOTHING BUT A CORRUPT HE-GOAT
Are they really state secrets, if they are only leaked to the Zambians and their is no threat to their security. What state secrets are you talking about, you nurse.
I have said it time and again, that the Post has long outlived it usefulness in Zambia. It is a stupid tabloid managed by corrupt, egoistic individual. Zambians wake up, the Post has been stealing from you and they pretend to be friends with you. STOP buying that silly newspaper.
Time is now to get rid of Mmembe in one way or the other, once and for all. This is the problem, if we had a leader, by now we would have seen some actions. But Sata is so sick that he can’t even see what is going wrong. Chellah leaks state secrets, Sata needs to fire him, Mutembo Nchito, the speaker and all the other *****s who support the POST.
It just tells the truth. Look at the indiscipline being exhibited by the so called Minister of Tourism and Culture and the other madam called Rachael Chileshe. If you were a Tourist, would you go to a country where the Minister of Tourism is a terrorist? Would you appreciate the Culture of that Country when the Minister responsible for Culture is a TERRORIST? It is like appreciating Islamic State or Boko Haram. No Bwana, the Post has hit the nail on the head this time. PF is the most undisciplined, violent. uncultured, virulent, and disorganised Party Zambia has ever seen and experienced. Go on Mmembe hit them more and harder!
Hon Kapata mobilising your cadres to deal with people claiming that PF is indiscipline will actually prove that PF is in deed an indisciplined party because that already is taking the law in your own hands which is a clear indication of indiscipline. Think again
There are too dull to see that. Meting out violence to anyone who opposes them is justified. PF seriously is deficient in the intellectual space. They believe in brawn as opposed to brains.
DON’T ABOUT THE POST. NOW THAT WYNTER IS NOT THERE PF WILL BE CALLED ALL SORTS OF NAMES BY M’MEMBE USING HIS PAPER. VERY SOON THE ‘THIEF’ RB WILL BE INNOCENT. K14BILLION AND K8BILLION IS A LOT OF MONEY TO PAY WHEN POST’S PROTECTION IS NO LONGER IN OFFICE. JUST BRACE FOR MORE AND WORSE INSULTS FROM M’MEMBE.
I MEANT TO SAY DON’T WORRY…
I hate Mmembe and the Post. If I had a way I would get rid of Mmembe in the most bru… way ever. This guy has destroyed the souls of many people and pretends to be the angel of Zambia.
What has changed now in PF that he didn’t see all these years when Kabimba was in government? Sata, if you are the real cobra, we have heard, then act now. The relationship between the Post and PF has come to an end, can’t Sata see that.
Get rid of all sympathizers of Post and possibly find a professional of way of closing the tabloid forever, after all they don’t even pay tax, so we don’t need them at all.
Bembas stop shedding crocodile tears .You were jubilating when Tongas and HH were called all sorts of Names from Bantustans to Ngombe Ilede. Now that Membe has shifted his arsenals towards you its bad. Chiwamila Galu kuluma mbuzi than Mbuzi kuluma Galu.
its not hate,its fear of membe.kabimba,easy,porrige to deal with.most politicians and cadres fear membe more than opposition/ruling party.he alone has made systems and individuals account since unip
The gloves are coming off huh…This is gonna get juicy…
PF AND POSTS NEWSPAPER IS BOY FRIEND – GIRL FRIEND RELATIONSHIP
THE PEOPLE SHOULD JUST WATCH AND SEE HOW MEMMBE AND PF ARE GOING TO TEAR EACH OTHER APART. BECAUSE BOTH HAVE A BUSED EACH OTHER TO THE FULLEST.
THE PF GOVERNMENT IS BEING HELD AT RANSOM BECUASE THEY USED MEMMBE AND THE POST TO BUILD THEM UP NOW THAT THE RELATIONSHIP HAS BROKEN DOWN. EACH OTHER PARTY KNOWS ITS WEAKEST POINTS HENCE MICHEAL SATA CAN’T TALK WITH FORCE AGAINST KABIMBA & MEMMBE UNLESS HE USES OTHER PEOPLE. AND IF PF IS NOT CAREFUL KABIMBA WILL BE THEIR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. WATCH THE FIGHT. ITS GETTING INTERESTING EVERY DAY. CHIKWANDA CAN’T FIGHT BACK PROPERLY BECAUSE OF HIS FAILURES TO BE CONSISTENT IN HIS POLICY IMPLEMENTATIONS. AS HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO FOR THE ZAMBIAN ECONOMY AND ITS…
Hon. Kapata swallow saliva you cannot manage to “deal” or silence the POST. The MMD under Chiluba and RB tried and terribly failed. How sure are you that you can succeed?
@Checha
This not MMD era where there was rule of law and selective justice was non existent . Under PF Mmembe will be dealt with severely because the PF coerced him to praise it and as a result, turn people against him. Now that Mmembe has lost public support, PF will squeeze his ball until they are flat.
PF can even arrest him on espionage charges for phone tapping and the public will dance all night and day.
In fact most of us can’t wait any longer to see Mmembe dance pelete under PF and Sata’s system which he nurtured.
Wanzelu; Even when Fred is at his all times low in terms of public support, things will quickly shift towards his favour. The reason is simple, now that he is not in bed with party in govt, a lot of people without money in their pockets will side with him. His paper will start selling again and PF will now have two enemies, the opposition and the Past News paper. To top it up with the electronic media backing up this deadly machinery.
Sata is not cabbage but ‘Musalu wauma’ wont be bothered to whats going on, resting ziiiiii fye.
But if PF is not the MOST UNDISPLINED PARTY, it’s hard to fathom which one it is.
The senior cadres of PF have warned.. Let’s now wait to see if Fred Mumembe will put his tail in between his legs.. More popcorns please…
The inherent risks in the post are quiet high and its time the owner learnt to offload some stake and make it more public with perpetual successive in structure and operations detaching it from personal business image if it has to live after himself and be like the times and other wall street news of age
If you look at ownership and business design around the post, it cannot survive long apart from the goodwill of the owner and also that tenure of employees less than 3 yrs.Its distribution lines , using street vendors and other are very weak, often surviving on the owners goodwill and activeness and if the owner not there the sales cannot extend two to three months
Public listing will…
As can be seen the Business model and structure is weak and the owner should consider timely diversification adding more to his business also looking at the short time horizon in costs and fleet of trucks given the tax issues and public comments in recent past raising issues of impairments
A little rebranding and offloading to act like a public with other stake taken by pure investors in the paper industry may save him
Otherwise the sales risk ,operational risk and event risks in the post are quiet high except for the goodwill of the owner
Jean kapata ,I applaud u,for saying the truth of the cartel,and for your bravery of calling a spade by its name,last year she publicly wrote to sata to deal with kabimba but sata is scared of the post.the earlier a person is diagnosed with cancer and treatment sort the higher his long life will be,post and pf is like a time bomb,its better to detonate it early before 2016.so this vindicates upnd which was being labeled tribal,violate party .why does mmembe always sees a perk in other people but not nobody tells him that he has a log.
The risks give above by Mrs Kapata should be something to thick and restructure the Post to remain and be seen to be independent if it has to be in perpetuity separate from being associated with an image if not there then no post
Restructuring the ownership structure will not only add value to the owner in increased investments but also add a measure of imagine not the current private owner association
Then most papers we read are free and the paper gets more from featured and covered interviews articles and adverts from the corporates and other commercial giving an ethical imagine free from the earning pressure to publicize
Wapya munzi!!
There is gonna be a fight. Mmembe must be saying, “I like it when a girl talks tough!”
Hon. kapata you guys can only hurt yourselves. Legal route best. Whatever happened to that Tax thing anyway?
@Chama no.6 concur. PF can only prove exactly what they are trying to deny.frankly there has been some bizarre incidents by party members especially Kambwili seems like a loose cannon. Why not get rid of him and others conducting themselves in a manner that spoils the party image? Indirect reference to Kabimba is unfair since he has been quiet.
Kapata should realise that the post played a major raw for pf to win elections Had it not been the post PF wouldn’t have won the elections ,Now akape walilamo kaba kalwani mwa? some women ninkaka . Madam wait for 2016
Did you mean to say role or “raw”. I thought ‘raw’ means uncooked or unripe whilst ‘role’ means position, Character or place.
THERE WERE A LOT OF THINGS GOING VERY WRONG WHEN THE ONE HON KAPATA IS CALLING ‘THEIR FRIEND’ WAS IN POWER. EVERYBODY SAE IT. HON KAPATA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FULL MINISTER IMMEDIATELY AFTER SEP 2011 AFTER HAVING WON IN THE BIGGEST CONSTITUENCY, MANDEVU, AND HAVING BEEN A LONG TIME LOYALIST OF THE PF.
BUT BECAUSE OF ‘THEIR FRIEND’S’ INFLUENCE, SHE WAS SHUNTED TO THE BACK AND SYLVIA MASEBO, AN MMD MEMBER, MADE A FULL MINISTER MANIPULATING THE CHONGWE BY-ELECTION.
‘THINGS FALL APART.’ HON KAPATA IS ONE OF THE FEW GENUINE PF MEMBERS. CAN I ASK “WHAT IS THE MAIN PROBLEM WHY THE K14 BILLION ISSUE AND THE TAX EVASION ISSUES ARE NOT BEING DECISIVELY SORTED OUT? WHY IS EVERYONE JUST REFERING TO THESE ISSUES BUT NO PROPER ACTION?”
HON KAPATA, IT APPEARS YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO…
How come we zedians vote in such dumb asses as leaders. A minister behaving so low. Bakapita you behave like a thug now. Post said pf has no discipline then you answer that you will send a truck load of cadres to deal the post. Is this not what the post just said?
funny how mmembe has been tolerated to go on behaving like a spoilt little brat for so long. This is the only zambian who has insulted all the 5 presidents zambia has had and later praise them when it suit his bruised ego. How long zambians are you going to be cowed by those hollow and now meaningless mmembe editorial commentries. In one breath mmembe praises sata in another insults his ministers simply put he is insulting sata who appointed them. Time to cage mmembe is now before he destroys many patriotic innocent souls like he has done in the past. As for the opposition time to join the fight against mmembe is now he is writing dung about pf all for the survival of his friend winter not for you.
Everything has got its time.Mmembe thinks he is the most wise man in Zambia.His ending will be catastrophe. Who has not been insulted by fred Mmembe?? Look at how he insulted KK,Look at how he insulted FTJ up to his grave and later celebrated his death. I mean it is a taboo to celebrate the death of somebody even if u hated that person.He claims to know the bible by quoting scriptures bt just look at his heart.. full of evil. Look at how insulted RB? The late Mwanawasa until he bowed to him.My advise to him is let him(Mmembe) reflect abt his life. God does nt like to see people who fuel hatred among his own. God gives people enough time thinking u are very cleaver BUT just wait… time of reckoning for Mmembe is coming and i say it will be terrible.Even his tabloid is loosing market now.
Just the step you want to take ba Jean does really show you that you are a HON your plans towards Post is not acceptable why are u behaving like a thug? Already this is being indiciplined
Post or no Post…..is it not truth that the PF is the only Party in the history of Zambia were its members fight in the presence of the SG? Very indisciplined party indeed…….Now you can start your insults please!!
Ba Kapata Mayo the PF is a very undisciplined party everyone knows that. However, your response to the Past Newspapers turnaround in the coverage of your party is the kind of robust response that M’membe needs to know that he is not omnipotent. Keep up the fight otherwise he will continue breaching your rights while you remain ndwii!!
Mmembe and the Post stink, they suck.
The normal way of removing them from Zambian political – social scene won’t work and this is why Fred is so BIG HEADED because he knows the Zambian judicial system is corrupt, he can always get away with things so easily; besides Zambians are docile, so he can easily trample on them whenever he chooses to do so. He can just say or do whatever he wants, to anyone at any time.
Mmembe needs bru.. force to silence him period (once and for all).
MEEMBE NEEDS PEOPLE LIKE RUPIAH BANDA .HE IS LUCKY HAD RB WON 2011 ELECTION MEMBE AND HIS COHORTS WOULD HAVE BEEN IN PRISON
BA PF LEAVE FRED ALONE.WHO DOESN’T KNOW IN THIS COUNTRY THAT THE PF IS ONE OF THE MOST VIOLENT AND INDISCIPLINED PARTY?PF HAS NEVER HELD A CONVENTION IN ITS EXISTENCE.ALL POSITIONS ARE APPOINTED BY THE OWNER AND FOUNDER OF THE PARTY.
The post understands the low calibre of these politicians. Slowly he will continue to provoke them so that they can react and make mistakes. So what Jean is doing is exactly what Freddy is looking for. She should not think that she is challenging him instead digging her own grave.
The 14 billion you yap about you guys will go no where. How many years have we been talking about this. Year in and year out nothing has happened. That is a credit received and signed for in the normal way full stop. I see this going now where but just a political issue.
