By Charles Nyirenda
We have heard quite a lot from the praise singers of Hakainde Hichilema lately.
In fairness, I think it’s time that we now heard from the silent majority on the other side – those who will not be voting HH. Those who understand that we must avoid Mr Hichilema from landing in Plot 1 under any circumstances.
Firstly, let’s forget about the ridiculous things being said and focus on what’s true. Accusations like “HH is a satanist” or a “free mason” are absurd, and it distracts us from focusing on the urgent and legitimate concerns about Hichilema’s background.
What we really need to be worried about is the established history of HH and his known character flaws, his party’s ability to legislate in parliament, his history of selling (and then benefitting from) Zambia’s national assets, his foreign financing, tolerance for corruption, and yes, this one you know well, his issues surrounding tribalism and unity.
Zambians Don’t Like HH
Attached is a graphic that has been circulating Facebook. It shows HH’s declining performance over the past three elections, trending down from his best result at 25%, getting and lower and lower each successive election.
There is a very simple reason behind HH’s failure as a politician – people don’t like him; they don’t connect with him.
A Zambian president must have the common touch. He or she may hold the highest office, but they remain a public servant, one that should have empathy for the people, to know how to listen, to deeply care for their welfare, and to put the needs of the nation above themselves and their family, tribe, and province.
Hakainde Hichilema regrettably does not possess these qualities. I have spoken to numerous people who spend the day in his team, with full access to him, and very few if any have managed to forge any close personal bond. Hakainde Hichilema is cold, very cold. He does not easily experience joy or affection. He has no sense of humour to speak of – his smiles are always forced for the camera, and his laugh is stiff and manufactured.
HH’s reputation for bullying behaviour
There is nothing wrong with being shy or unfriendly, if this happens to be your personality. In fact, some people may like the idea of his “always business” demeanor. But a lack of interpersonal skills for a president can be very dangerous – it leads to poor decisions. For example, what kind of man exactly would try to use somebody’s own son against him, as HH did by pulling Andrew Banda onto a stage to attack his then-opponent Rupiah Banda? This is just politics – you should be able to win because you are the better candidate – not because you have to rip apart somebody’s family. Ask yourselves: what kind of man does that?
Then again, look at him filing a lawsuit against that ridiculous Bishop who criticised him at a rally. But is this really the best response to your opponents? Why give the man more credibility by suing him? The proper response would be to prove that everything he says is wrong and to prove that indeed the moral high ground belongs to you. Can you imagine what kinds of abuses of presidential defamation are going to come from HH if he were elected? He would likely make Michael Sata’s deplorable record seem like child’s play.
No Constitution under HH
We must not allow Hakainde Hichilema to become president because his party lacks the parliamentary seats to pass laws, and appears to have no interest (or ability) to build coalitions with other parties. What this means is that the UPND will be extremely unlikely to pass a new constitution, especially one that would place certain limits on presidential powers, and instead we would likely see a repeat of what was conducted under the Patriotic Front (PF) – an endless succession of unnecessary by-elections forced through the courts to take back seats.
With no new constitution, and a vengeful party seeking to “sort out” all kinds of imagined historical grievances and bent on seizing more and more power, HH would be overwhelmingly focused on keeping UPND in power beyond 2016 – perhaps for the next 20-some years.
Violence, Repression, and Division of Zambia
As a young and untested leader who is deeply unpopular among voters in several key provinces, Hakainde Hichilema will be likely to unleash the Public Order Act, and send the police to beat his opponents into submission. He has said that he would not use the Public Order Act, but he has not said that he would abolish it. The reason why is that he plans to use it, and to use it very aggressively to consolidate his authority.
There is also HH’s known record of intolerance for criticism freedom of speech – just watch how the UPND cadres will pile on and savagely attack me for writing this article, threatening death to my family. Just imagine what will happen when Hichilema’s employee, Lloyd Himaambo of Zambian Watchdog, is made Minister of Information!
What kind of unity do we imagine will result of this? Instead under an HH presidency we would have a deepening civil conflict, a country deeply divided along regional and tribal lines, and an increased possibility of the use of violence by the state against citizens. That’s why it is so hard to believe HH when he talks about unity – he simply has shown no level of brotherhood with other Zambians, instead placing the Tongas first and everyone else second.
UPND backed by the cartel
Then of course, we have the issue of the economy. As an author who recently wrote on Zambia Reports in favour of the HH candidacy argued that he has a “proven economic track record” because of his business career,” there are some major questions as to whether the fact that Hichilema is a wealthy businessman if he knows how to run a country.
For all the boasting about his “neoliberal economic policies,” those really don’t mean much if Hichilema is going to give into corruption – which in today’s Zambia, I am talking about the cartel. Edgar Lungu, for example, has very directly addressed the corruption of the cartel, indicating that he would no longer allow people like Fred M’membe to defraud Zambian taxpayers by stealing millions of dollars from the Development Bank of Zambia (DBZ). But HH has remained mysteriously silent, while M’membe’s Post has made it increasingly clear that they have made a corrupt deal to back the UPND and prevent a Lungu presidency.
The recent meeting of Maureen Mwanawasa – who is touted as one of HH’s star endorsements – with M’membe this week cements the deal. UPND is now the party of the cartel.
Meanwhile, Rajan Mahtani, the alleged godfather of Zambian corruption and former financier of the PF, is believed to have build secret ties to HH – he is a co-investor in the Zambian Watchdog website according to the blogger Proud Aushi Musamba, and his former cronies Dipak Patel and Felix Mutati now occupy key posts in the campaign team.
If the next government were to undertake a serious anti-corruption drive, Mahtani would stand to lose out big – he illegally owns more than 50% of Finance Bank, and he has defrauded and forged his way to steal control of multiple companies which could be reversed under a rule of law government. In HH, he sees another proxy he can control, just like he did with Michael Sata.
Zambia is not for sale
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, we must be very very concerned about Hichilema’s history of selling out Zambia’s national assets and then benefiting from their sale. I am not saying that I have evidence that the sales of Lima Bank, Intercontinental Livingstone, or Roan Antelope Mining Corporation of Zambia (Ramcoz) were illegal – but I am saying that there are lots of unanswered questions.
What we do know is that HH has built a staggering personal fortune from these transactions, and currently holds shares (at least the ones that we know about) in both Intercontinental as well as Anglo American Corporation, (which purchase, which just got two new licenses in North Western Province.
Can’t we all agree that this is a fundamental conflict of interest? To own shares in companies that you yourself privatised? It is not just improper, it is immoral – and this is exactly why we should be so concerned about all the foreign money and South African conspiracies backing the HH candidacy. Where did the helicopters come from? Who is paying the million-dollar image makers from London spotted around the Lusaka hotels?
HH has not yet lost my vote completely, but he would need to act quickly. Here are a few things he could do to completely prove me wrong, and compel me to write an apology and a withdrawal of this article:
- Swear on the bible to dissolve the Public Order Act, removing it from the books
- Swear to repeal the law on presidential defamation (no more suing your critics)
- Swear to fight corruption and specifically investigate the illegal activity of the M’membe-Mahtani-Nchito cartel
- Divest all your shares in companies related to privatisations as well as mining in Zambia
But do you believe that HH is capable of this kind of humility? No, that’s what I thought.
Article is correct
Thanks
You have resorted to peddling lies to throw spanners in the HH2015 flight path but you can’t touch us as we are in stratosphere cruising at the speed of light on the way to plot 1. Haters, it’s too late to sabotage this supersonic jet now and we clearing airwaves for landing. Stand in the way and will land any way and are bigger than you so what you gonna do?
Charles Nyirenda, you are an !diot, very useless, stup!t, unproductive and divisive element in society. You are a true definition of an imbecile.
How much have you been paid by the Panga Family for you to write this rubbish? No matter what you write, Hakainde Hichilema is going to state house. Your Lungu guy is a useless man who cannot make a good president compared to HH. Lungu is just being pushed by the Kola group/clique who composed of thugs, co-boys, kabovas like Nsanda, Kambwili, etc and useless people (according to Sata) like Kalaba, Luo, Inonge, and the rest.
Anyway your article will have no bearing on HH’s standing right now as he is posed to be the next Republican President of Zambia. !diot!!!
January 21 and this will be the headline …..
These are elections are slowly becoming a ‘ a bridge too far for DNPU’
2015 Edgar has just won the elections
I thank you
Kikikiki, this is a funny post. Ati let me talk about facts, then he spews allegations and imaginary insinuations. Yaba!
Charles Nyirenda, we know you just want to start a fire which you will not quench. !mbecile!!!
BREAKING NEWS!
The information circulating on the social media of Malawi and Zimbabwe suggests that Edgar Lungu and the top leadership of the PF are in discussion to consider backing the UPND Leader HH for the coming elections (so that he governs from January 2015 to October 2016) on condition that he agrees and signs to back Edgar Lungu also or any PF Presidential Candidate in 2016 (from 2016 to 2021).
The PF’s discussion to allow HH to pass through almost unopposed come in the wake of deteriorating health status of its Presidential Candidate Edgar Lungu who has a Liver Problem which is pushing his sugar levels high. Look out for more updates.
On behalf of PF and indeed Zambians, i urge all peace loving country men and women to continue praying for the quick recovery of Edgar…
January 21 and this will be the headline …..
These are elections are slowly becoming a ‘ a bridge too far for PF’
2015 HH has just won the elections
I thank you
HH will certainly win these elections. Like Micheal Sata’s spirit of persistence he never listened to ldiots like the author of this article, until he eventually won becoming the fifth president! HH just won’t give the fcuk up!!
This article assures me that HH is indeed going to be president come 2015.
This article has the hall mark of Emmanuel Mwamba working in tandem with LT.
They are staring at the possible loss come 2015 thats why they are spewing rubbish here on internet.
HH is now unstoppable, whether you insult him or lie about him it wont work because the people know who has truly sold the country to loan sharks to the value of $7.5Billion.
PF with the help of chikwanda have indeed sold the country.
This is what debate is all about. Here are FACTS not blind loyalty, here is science not emotionalism, here is logic and not tribalism. This is a very well written article to help independent voters. We are fed up of Propaganda from the Zambian Watchdog and The Post.
It does not take rocket science to see that the ZW has NEVER written anything against HH or Mahtani. Mahtani DOES own more than the legal 25% shares in Finance Bank through two non-existent shareholders. I HAVE PROOF but I am not in Zambia. Mahtani is a crook who hides behind a religious veil.
Only a f00l would be deceived that this article is about HH.
This article is aimed at E Lungu has ,
Implemented the POA savagely.
Deported foreigners without due process.
Hiding Ruth Mandus’ killers.
Shielding PF cadres who killed fellow PF cadres.
Been part of PF which has auctioned Zambia to kaloba.
Been the art of corrupt PF .
Been part PF once backed the Mmembe cartel.
Been of the lying PF.
All what this article has talked about is in direct reference to PF and Lungu. Even a grade 7 given a chance to read and then asked a simple to state who amongst the presidential candidate is the article referring to. A dull grade 7 will say PF and Lungu.
Correct even when it lacks new information? We should not listen to people who continue with information that has already been dealt with conclusively. Such people and those who applaud them for such are either sleeping when others are debating (only to wake up and exhibit their absence, or they are too dull to research and come up with new areas of interest! Those in “praise” of this article fit in the picture of being either sleepy or dull!
I think the writer of this beautiful piece and correctly worded article deserves an award….
Ladies and gentlemen,our next President is Hon Edgar C Lungu
2015 vote PF ( Edgar )
I thank you
Is it true PF will cut and remove civil servants salaries after winning election as purported by ZWD news?
HH has been rightly challenged, let us all see him respond to this challenges in a mature leadership way.
THIS ARTICLE IS DIRECTED TO HH HIMSELF, WE’VE ONLY BEEN COPIED. LET HH RESPOND AND PUT THE PUBLIC IN COPY. ALL Cadres please shut up and let’s hear HH’s response then we can talk. Otherwise there’re things that we all don’t know and are just coming to light, so better listen than just commenting as if someone has put salt in your eyes..
Mushota
Grow up ,For how long are you going to continue hating HH? The failure of PF is as resulting of greediness within your PF. Mark my word you cry come January 21st 2015, the results will be as follows:
Province HH EL Others
CB 30% 40% 30%
LUAP 25% 40% 35%
LUSA 35% 40% 25%
NW 80% 10% 10%
NT 15% 35% 50%
MUCH 15% 35% 50%
EST 15% 35% 50%
CENT 85% 5% 10%
SOUTH 95% 2% 3%
Wets 95% 2% 3%
Total 49% 24% 27%
Remember EL is not as strong as the late Sata M.H.R.I.P , he will reduce the vote by a margin of 20% .On the other hand HH has the back up of almost 90% of MMD mps…
Now this is the Mushota that I know…..
Welcome aboard the winning team……
PF is now one big strong family.
Breaking News: Mushota finally joins the Katondo boys
2015 vote PF ( Edgar )
I thank you
All opinions are welcome but I will not accept all opinions especially one that is based on rumours, biased judgement and deceit.
HH might not be perfect, just like every human being, but he has been consistent on ensuring the governance of Zambia is premised on prudent resource utilisation and respect for human rights. For that I support him because PF has failed on that score as seen from the failure to deliver the constitution, excessive borrowing to finance many deputy ministers and abuse of public order act.
By the way, you only need numbers in parliament if you want to pass retrogressive laws or bad policies. Any responsible MP will support the passing of laws that improve the lives of the people.
The most comprehensive article about Akainde so far
Great article, balanced and without malice
MM le Grande patron wa zabanga
Tone down my friend….this is just politics. .no need to insult people that are opposing your preferred candidate HH.
DNPU is not winning these elections and that’s the truth.
You can cry all you want but Edgar C Lungu will be OUR president in less than 30 days.
Do you want me to say that again or you heard me?
2015 vote PF ( Edgar )
I thank you
Very stupid and foolish indeed.
He is right, my eyes are open, thanks for the article.
How many times did the Late tribalist fail?the COBRA
Real Change is what we need, wait and see 21 -22 January. It is not the size of the dog in the fight , but the fight in the dog that matters. Why did God get the Cobra at Jubilee, you cant help God. A courage dog does not bark from a far, come to Zambia ,we hear you ar a Pornstar abroad
Let Lungu swear first iwe koswe.
This article shud’ve been titled ‘advert’. If you didn’t collect millions on this ad you’re f00ls LT.
This article has no proper logical relations. He claims that HH is not popular yet the mood throughout the article is that the “undesirable” and “feared” HH is the most likely to win. Unpopular people dont win elections. I dismiss this lamentation as an expression of panic.
Useless article.
Spot on unless you are blind you will dispute this.HH if he a was honest would not participate in this election considering that it will be held under the same constitution he had opposed.He would just pushed a motion through his MPS to allow the Acting President to continue till 2016 and push for a new constitution instead of spend Billions on campaign.Zambians open your eyes.Who is humble between HH and Lungu who has the heart for this country?Answer without being biased.
@1.1 THIS IS NOT ABOUT THROWING SPANNERS AND NETS IN ONES WAY. ELECTING A PRESIDENT CONCERN REAL PEOPLE WITH REAL LIFE. WHAT THE WRITER HAS WRITTEN IS ABSOLUTELY MY CONCERN WITH HH, TOO. I LOVE UPND MINUS HH. THE PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA WHO ARE CURRENTLY BENEFITING FROM HH’s CRUMBLE FROM HIS HIGH TABLE MUST DEEPLY THINK ABOUT THE LARGE PICTURE OF THE COUNTRY AND NOT THEIR PERSONAL BENEFITS. I AM 101% THAT HH IS GOING TO TURN INTO AN ANIMAL IN STATE HOUSE AND SIGNS OF THAT ARE ALLOVER THE PLACE. HE WILL REALLY WANT TO INCREASE AND PROTECT HIS WEALTH WHILE AT PLOT 1 AND MANY PEOPLE WILL BE INJURED IN THE PROCESS. MANY A PEOPLE KNOW HOW HE AMASSED HIS WEALTH BUT JUST DON’T TALK ABOUT IT. AND THIS IS THE PROBLEM WE HAVE AND STILL CONTINUE TO HAVE IN ZAMBIA. INDIVIDUALS’ ORIGINS OF WEALTH MUST…
FROM @1.27…ABSOLUTELY CLEAR AND TRANSPARENT. IT’S VERY CLEAR THAT HH IS A TRIBALIST AND RACIST BECAUSE HE CONDONS AND PRACTICES IT. IT’S CLEAR THAT HH HAS GOT VERY LOW OPINION OF FEMALES- HE SAYS IT. FOR HIM THEY SHOULD BE YREATED LIKE COWS. OR REALLY RESTRICTED TO THE KITCHEN AND ‘BEDROOM’. THIS CAN EVEN BE OBSERVED IN HIS PARTY- THE NUMBER OF FEMALES ON TOP. HE TRULY DOES NOT CONNECT WITH PEOPLE. I DON’T KNOW IF MANY ZAMBIANS HAVE SEEN HIS WIFE. HH IS SIMPLY REAL TROUBLE IN WAITING. JUST IMAGINE A LEADER TO BE EMPLOYING A PAPER LIKE ZWD. ZAMBIANS LIKE TRYING THINGS FOR THE SAKE OF FRAUDULENT MONEY. WELL! YOU HAVE BEEN INFORMED. BUT, I DON’T KNOW WHICH COUNTRY IN THE SOUTHERN AFRICAN REGION CAN ACCEPT ZAMBIAN REFUGEES, APART FROM TANZANIA.
HICHILEMA’S RALLY AT FENI IN CHIPATA FAILS
HIS ATTEMPTS TO MEET MPEZENI AND KALINDAWALO FAIL
UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema’s attempt to hold a public rally at the famous Feni Grounds failed Saturday afternoon.
The feeble attempt was meant to replicate President Michael Sata’s 2011 rally at the famous holy traditional grounds.
But Paramount Chief Mpezeni of the Ngoni people refused to meet Hichilema and also denied him permission to hold his meeting there.
The Ngoni Chief attributed his refusal to Hichilema’s failure to follow procedure and “the attacks he recieves from his online paper that’s always speculating about his death”.

Mpezeni’s Induna, George Zulu stated that Hichilema as a leader aspiring to be President must respect customs and tradition.
“These are…
Emmanuel Mwamba, we all know you are masquerading as Katondo Boys
….HH has promised that he is not to tolerate poor performance in his cabinet.
….Zero tolerance for indiscipline
….Will be results oriented
….Is on a mission to clean up Lusaka (Seat o Government)
….Wants to lay a solid foundation for systems development in government
## He is very clear on what he wants done.
## He THE ONLY candidate who does not want to maintain the status quo
## He is the only candidate who does not NEED state house to have dinner
## The only candidate who is in the race with an impeccable resume of a a can-do person
Having been led by mediocre presidents before, this can be a scary proposition to most of Zambians. Because to most of Zambians, personal success is always suspicious
@wanzelu well at least lusakatimes allows everyone from both sides opposing and for to post comments whereas your UPND sponsored Zambian Watch Dog only allows pro HH and UPND posts to appear, Lusakatimes has allowed many times posts which even insult the government of the day (something that I personally find distasteful) but at least they allow bloggers to post unlike the undemocratic ZWD that never allows a single anti HH post to appear..what hypocrites the likes of wanzelu are and this is why HH will never win, ZWD is a mirror of HH and UPND..insults, undemocratic tendancies and hypocrisy!!! By the way a great article and to the author no to worry HH is losing again!
****VIVA EDGAR LUNGU 2015 & 2016***
Iwe ka Nyere be careful with the lies you are peddling. They will land u land u in trouble when flight HH lands at plot 1 on 24th Jan. Let me assure you that the percentages u are showing indicating HH’s declining popularity will shock u. It will be 25+19+18 = 62% against your preferred candidate. If HH is not gaining popularity why should he cause u to spend your entire holiday week writing trash? I know when u hear of him mzitundira becos a normal person wudnt waste time writing on someone who they believe is losing. It is like spending time writing against Alex Muliokela. Concentrate on your PF shambolic campaigns please twapapata. Here comes flight HH… I can see u sweating.
This is nonsense. Why should waste your time on someone u say he is unpopular? Its like me spending my Xmas writing against Alex Muliokela. Unfortunately your article is full of malice. Nothing is true.
BB 2014 , even the writer does not believe this crap about HH, The only truth here is that HH is a strict strong displinarian. He is a tough boss and he will be tough on corruption , tough on laziness and tough on failure to deliver. HH will be like Paul Kagame . But he will deliver on the constitution. Bcs the PF in opposition and MMD will see the sense of supporting a constitution that gives them more power as an opposition.
He will deliver bcs the constitution is one of the few things that can done to show that he keeps his promise before 2016.
2) he will deliver on free education bcs there is a lot of money going to waste through corruption and wastage which will be channelled to education.
3) HH knows how to negotiate , he will be able to get deals from Europe and the USA
WAIT FOR 2021 MAYBE ZAMBIANS WILL BE READY FOR YOUR BACKWARD TRIBALISM IN THE MEANTIME YOU ARE LOSERS YOU KNOW IT DEEP DOWN YOUR HEARTS WA JATA NGOMBE
Whoever wrote this nonsense should go to hell HH can not be bought by any one, accept him the way he was born. This post will not change our minds it is Zambia forward with HH only you just have to live with it. Lusaka times stop putting up hate posts concerning HH!

This headline has nothing to do with DNPU losing the elections. The people of Zambia want Hon Edgar C Lungu to become the President of Zambia January 22/23

I thank you
Charles Nyirenda, you are sounding desperate in your article. When did HH pull Andrew on stage?
EL qualifies for all that you have written. Read through your own article and reflect and you will see it is EL.
Unfortunately that HH tribalist won’t win.
Kaunda and Chiluba had no experience as MPs or Ministers.Even Lungu did not work for Government before he was hand picked by his Ancle Sata to become Chawama MP.He was a druken Shanty compound lawyer ,who was a moslem benefiting from arms giving after his liences was grabed by LAZ after Lungu stole his clients money.HH stands on solid ground and all these stories above have cleared so these cheap politics will not stop people from voting for a well organized UPND and HH.VIVA HH .Bayamba kututuka.
CLondon, ulichipuba. Go back to school and lean manners. You seem to not even bad ones. HH2015 crashing..
Ati ena anamwa so apa samuel bwino tuma kidney Naka liver tunyeleza
@2.3 DON’T PICK ON THOSE LITTLE THINGS AND BASE YOUR ARGUMENT ON THEM. THE WRITER HAS DISCUSSED MANY IMPORTANT ISSUE OF RELATIONSHIP WITH PEOPLE. HH SIMPLY DOESN’T CUT. HIS DARK SIDE OF WEALTH, ALLIANCE WITH M’MEMMBE, SPONSORING ZWD A PAPER THAT BY IMPLICIT BREWS BIG TRIBAL DIVISIONS IN ZAMBIA. YOU TALK ABOUT PETTY ISSUES CAN’T HOLD WATER.
Nyirenda you are a bitter man, tumbukas are humble, peaceful & intelligent people who rarely are spiteful in this manner. This is your opinion & for those who paid you. A hungry man is an angry man indeed.
Dinga dinga
Don’t take it personal my dear friend. ..this is politics. …not for the faint hearted…..i don’t think it’s fair to suggest that if someone doesn’t support DNPU then that person is bitter. I lived in Lundazi(Magodi) and I must say Tumbuka people are very nice.They treated me like one of their own.
Anyway…..

I thank you
Brana Nyirenda you start well by saying separating the ubsurd from factual. Then you spend your time discussing the former. Do you even understand fact? You talk about your own skewed interpretation of what might happen if he wins. Are you saying that EL will pass the constitution? This is the guy who has been part of a government that called the new constitution an animal driven constitution. You are one of the gullible zambians who make good stepping stones for politicians for their self interest.
Bee
Guys we all know the truth and this article is the TRUTH.
ZAMBIANS WANT EDGAR TO BECOME PRESIDENT.
2015 VOTE PF ( EDGAR )
I THANK YOU
Ba Katondo, whoever is destined to win will surely win. But if you will decampaign someone on the pretext of facts, yet you use your hearsay and limited ability of analysis to advance your preconceived notions about someone, then it is wrong. Develop your arguements based on facts.
I’m sure you agree with me Ba Katondo.
I get Katondo boys when he says , this is politics and gives no facts. They other guys have conceded that our man is the better man but don’t expect all these Sata hanger ons to let go of what Sata left them easily. They will kick and huff and puff until the last ballot is counted. They will try everything.
Now they see Eastern province as the deciding province , they know they have nothing south or west to the railway line. They also feel the ground slipping in Lusaka and CB to some extent, so they have get Luapula and Eastern.
Nevers is playing the Bemba tribal card so they will share votes in Northern but hope to get more from Eastern. Probably this writer is not even Nyirenda. He is Mwamba or Musonda.
Good analysis and we strongly believe this person HH can mortgage our country if given a chance to govern our nation with so much connections to the multinational Companies.
What do you call a minister and presidential aspirant visiting a foreign country without clearance from the head of state? Did you say SELLOUT.? Good. That’s what EL and Kalaba did recently.

Spot on my dear friend.

IFINTU NI LUNGU BUT UMUNTU NI HH.that is the diference Between Lungu and HH.Let them have a live debate we see who has the brains.They grey matters in LUngu’s head has been eroded by beer.VIVA HH .They now desparate they have started sweating in there pants.lol lol.
short sighted you are indeed
Very well written Charles. There are many points well articulated that ring true. We Zambians will not allow ridicule to enter state house through (HH) and Mutinta
Imagine, a so called leader who sponsors tri(bal), genocidal hate-speech, rumor-mongering upnd propaganda trash media. Zambians don’t like (HH). Plain and simple. In fact we patriots will do anything to protect our land from his hateful claws. I thank LT for airing Mr. Nyirenda’s timely warning. Zambians dont like (HH). Nyirenda speaks for the majority of us.
Kudos
Are you aware that Hon Edgar C Lungu is the incoming President of Zambia?
Just making sure in case you don’t know yet.
Thanks for being part of the winning team
2015 vote PF ( Edgar )
I thank you
You haven’t washed your face today. Or any day. judging from your picture.
Have you no hauntings scheduled?
P/S It’s a waste of time haunting HH and UPND. You can’t catch them.
Thanks for clarifying mate. I was wondering who the above description fits? Then ding,dong!!Edgar Lungu.That’s who you have just described. Just look back weeks ago what happened at Mulungushi conference! Even Chishimba Kambwili et al couldn’t stand up to his thuggish behavior. It’s a shame that you pushing forward the vision of a man who showed dictatorial tendencies. EL is a minister,what has he done for his people who voted for him as an MP? Be serious! Think about the innocent people who are dying at home and so called hospitals without resources. As someone who organises people from UK to come and teach health care practitioners at UTH,I could honestly throttle someone supporting PF failures blindly. Do you know how many people die at UTH due to illness compounded by…
@Appleseed! Some of these so called diasporas are stuck in their hosting countries with no right of abode. I know a good number that are doing shody jobs just to pay rent in a shared room and live on toast and beans. I feel sorry for them as I believe we should all have equal opportunities but we have to work hard in this competitive world to create our own luck in our lives. The catalogue of errors of the PF government and the broken promises is well kept for all to peruse. Take a deep breadth, analyse issues with your head and not your heart and you will realise it’s time for change. The author of this article doesn’t understand many things and to draw out one major issue of contention – The New Consititition, he implies parliament will have to ratify – No! a referendum will !
Pointb of correction Zambians like HH a lot that’s why he is pulling huge rallies.Only criminals and tribal crusaders hate HH.Normal and united Zambians like HH a lot.Chanda Chimba said a lot about Sata ,but Zambians are clever they still voted for Sata.If HH was not popular why are you parroting around his neck.Leave him a lone.HH chipuba Chansu tulekani few bene.Chika tusunga bwino.Chikulu we are eating Bwino Bakaamba.Chilishani Kalijo ba nyerenda na imwe.even in chama people love HH.Limbi mwakulila mu Lusaka ba Nyerenda.Lol lol.
Nyirenda you are fake and an impostor. The name you have used is not yours. Be real and keep your hatred to your stupid self. We mbwa we.
Mr Nyirenda is very right, we as Zambians should guard this nation from such characters like HH. other wise we risk falling in a trap of huge corruption, coz UNPD we start bribing MPs from other parties just to have enough numbers…
Lets not allow our nation to go down.
This is what is wrong with our society. Why is it that people are happy to see others suffer? A true leader leaves behind a legacy of good will. EL looks frail to say the least. You don’t need extra vision to see the trouble you are bringing in govt! People are suffering.When are you people going to start thinking about the common who has equal rights as you? I’ll make special mention of @ Mushota. As someone in the limelight,why not use your God given brains to campaign for the poor who have no voice? I remember coming to UTH with a team of DRs from UK and patients were lying on the floor and dying because of lack of oxygen? Do you guys think this is normal? A man died on a stretcher before being seen by a DR, he was a bread winner for his family!
To vote for HH if you are a bemba person is as good as buying your coffin. Careful bembas!
Kwena imwe ba tata that’s so lame! I would rather vote for a tribalist than a gang of thieves and corrupt elements that compose team EL. At least a mortgage can be redeemed but the PF will destroy this nation!!! Twa naka Na ba kabolala
You dont matter. You are not special.
Nkumba bukata you 100% a FONTINE .The true Bembas from Nothern province never benefited from your Bisa president Sata.Every Ka person in town even if is Lala or Bisa or Ushi ati iam bemba leave us a lone we the true Bembas.We have found a genuine heart in HH ,Only HH will clown our King Sosala as Chitimukulu .Twa chula pa fula from likes of Chiluba and Sata ,these Guys were not Bemba no.Tongas and Bembas have always worked together in times of trouble .In 1963 Harry Mwanga and Simon Mwansa kapwepwe agreed to add votes to put Kaunda in power ,hence Zambia was born.What do you want to lecture as bambuli.
@Nkumbabukata
Shut it and read what the blogger “Mwine Lubemba” said. You might learn a thing or two.
The Author of this article indicated how he was going to be attacked by UPND supporters and it appears he knows what he is talking about. Guys reflect on the salient points in the article and try to digest. Then let the individuals that are close to HH let him know what people are saying.
Other wise HH does not inspire me especially that you his supporters are so quick to cut divergent views. Convince us to support you if you want our vote. Period!
We don’t care even if HH doesn’t inspire. No matter how much sense we will pump into your thick skull, you’re mind is set for Chakolwa Lungu. So whats the point!!!
Seeing from the cadres response to this article. I am seeing some truth in what the author to this article is saying. Why the hate reponses when he clearly stated that if HH would prove his claims wrong, then he will retract this article?
You are just another dog like the author of this article. I am a votes in Libala, Livingstone and will vote for HH. I cant vote for a satanic party like PF. Go and clean toilets maybe you will get a cent for bread.
Ati Bisa lala are all calling themselves bemba. Kikiki
The wise have always said, if one has no understanding and knowledge of a particular thing, it is very wise for them to keep quiet and learn from those people who with the knowledge. Its so disappointing to read an article which is based on personal assumptions and un verifiable sources. Its so sad that the author generalizes his personal opinion to the masses which is wrong.
I am a Marxist, Radical Right if you want, but I have found the authors ideas to be too childish and un professional. Such are the characters that dent the image of intellectuals because of their failure to articulate simple and straight forward issues.
Very elaboarate! I call this a Master Piece. Everything written about HH in this article is true! May I also add that HH has recently being quoted telling Mine Companies that he will reverse the. Mineral loyalty increase (6-20%) if voted into power. It’s clear that HH just wants to make Zambia poorer.
Patriot
You are my hero…..
DNPU is a toast….
2015 vote PF ( Edgar )
I thank you
Just go and sleep Nyirenda ,you are just a chakolwa from Clans club .Remember to reserve money for fuel because Monday is a working day otherwise you be fired.
Peace maker
Am sure you are aware that DNPU will be retired on January 22
2015 vote PF ( Edgar )
I thank you
January 21 and this will be the headline …..
These are elections are slowly becoming a ‘ a bridge too far for PF’
2015 HH has just won the elections
I thank you
USELESS WRITER, JUST WAIT YOU WILL COLLAPSE.YOU ARE A JOKER AND YOU ARTICLE LACKS MERIT.
This article is full of flaws and a very foolish but clever attempt of trying to turn the writers emotional subjective feelings into facts.
Who old the mines? He goes on to link HHs shares in Anglo American company into new mining licences in NWP to HH, is it HH that issues mining licences? If this Nyirenda was a credible writer he surely would have come up with facts, and if he chose to make assumptions, those assumptions needed to be justified by reasonable arguments. He goes on to say UPND people will attack him to justify his warped thinking. Off course they will attack you as our posting has no merit. If this as a high school essay it would get a 3 out of 10. No logic, no facts butt good on hallucinations, did not know they had magic mushrooms in Zambia.
Do you guys know how it feels as a medical practitioner to see a patient die because you don’t have basic medication? The mortality rate has more than tripled under PF! I’m not a politician but for the sake of the poor Zambian,who has no money to go to private clinic,I have decided to be an advocate for them and hope to ensure the right people who care about the common man get into power. You are all luck you don’t have to watch the faces of the innocent people looking up to you hoping for a miracle while you politicians are fattening yourselves. Isn’t it a shame that you go abroad for treatment? Those countries have got leaders with brains who have invested in healthcare which you travel to and pay. It’s like a husband moving next door and praising neighbour for the nice house!…
I love Zambia.
My earnest appeal to the media houses especially to ZNBC, MUVI TV and other media houses is to promote live presidential debates for aspiring presidential candidates and give them chance to answer questions from Zambia citizens.
Going by what is obtaining, any presidential candidate can say anything a grieving Zambian would want to hear and S/He will walk away with votes.
It is fair to say the article above and most of the comments are clearly begging for such debates and all of us Zambians will have confidence in the leaders we want to vote.
It is also fair to say all peace loving Zambians, lets differ in opinions as we learn from one another and do so without insulting or using bitter words. If we want a good leader for this country then we should try to be good.
This nyirenda Man is mentally disturbed.
Charles Nyirenda, do not waste your time please, we shall vote for HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Zidan
Save yourself some embarrassment….Vote for the winning team
2015 vote PF ( Edgar )
I thank you
REMEMBER YOUR EDGAR WILL NEVER BE THE PRESIDENT AND BY 2016 PF WILL BE FINISHED NEXT STRONG OPPOSITION WILL BE RAINBOW PARTY EITHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
Charles Nyirenda i ask you to carry out a lot of research on HH other than speaking from the blues. let me educate you a bit about HH. He is a graduate from the university of Zambia in economics and has masters in business administration. upon his graduation from UNZA he never went into employment but decided to apply his knowledge in the business world and he has become one of the few practicing economist. Don’t you think that it takes a genius to do that. He is a man who can put his dream into reality and when he says, us in UPND we will do this who can doubt him. He is simply an achiever. With this few remarks i ask all well meaning Zambian to vote for HH and not your remarks that do not hold any water.
@visionman, there is a very big difference between running a business and running a country. Running a country requires more than just degrees from a university. Actually, some of the characteristics of a good president can NEVER be learnt or obtained from college/university or in formal education—it is inborn and through life experiences—LEADERS ARE BORN NOT MADE!
In fact some of the greatest and successful national executives/presidents have been people who never saw the insides of a university. And some of the worst despots in this earth have been people with a multitude of college degrees—exhibit ‘A’, Robert Mugabe across the Zambezi!
So this tendency we have as people to equate GOOD LEADERSHIP to COLLEGE DEGREES one holds is simply FALSE and an ILLUSION!
@Yambayamba, from the last time I checked, HH was BORN and not MADE. Therefore, with your warped analogy above, you are saying education should not be looked at when choosing a president in Zambia. Well, I have bad news for you Yamba x2. Almost all former and the present Prime Minister of the United Kingdom are either from Eton College an elitist school, Cambridge or are Oxford university educated. The same goes for the U.S… most are from Havard or Ivy League. Therefore, only in Zambia would you encourage someone from the University of Kaponyas to aspire for presidency!
For those that have a knack for numbers – I have done a little research for you. David Cameron became the 19th Prime Minister of Britain to have been educated at Eton College! There you have it dear bloggers! Let us be issue and fact based bloggers and not hate filled ones and by so doing we’ll educate others and not mislead masses to feed our own selfish egos.
Ya ba @One Hit Wonder!, last time I checked, you were also born. But BORN A LEADER!? I doubt it.
And yes, it is has been presidents from the “University of Kaponyas” who have done wonders for Zambia since independence. The degree that HH boasts about came from a university built by someone (big Ken) without a college degree. And look at the number of universities another “University of Kaponyas” graduate has initiated. Compare that to the performance of govt(s) which was full of university “some of us” and Dr. fimo fimos. I am sure after all is said and done, your children or grandchildren will have the opportunity to argue about college degrees and the presidency. Not now with only two govt Universities in the country. UK has had many Versities for a long time, NOT Zambia!
@Yamba x2, I am glad I can engage you academically, politically and hopefully spiritually too! Without any
unpleasantries just because we disagree on certain principles and knowns. Please note that Zambia is still a HIPC country! Now we are VHIIPC ( Very Highly Indebted and Impoverished Poor Country) and you my friend Yambax2 have the audacity of naming two Kaponya dictators one living and one dead as the liberators of our country? KK was a dictator and so was Late Sata. You should watch a documentary called ” Stealing Africa” and you will cry for mother Zambia. You are busy shooting down Education yet you tell me Zambia is not yet UK or US. Education was denied enmasse to Africans by the colonialists so that you remain in the dark and abject poverty. Education, Education, education
@One Hit Wonder!, you are now confusing me. If you can stick to one topic I would gladly help you understand my point of view. From “education and College degrees” you now want to bring in “dictatorship” and “colonialism”?
What is your point anyway? Maybe we can start there!
Who said Universties should be state/government run? sir. Mr Yambax2, from your thinking I am able to profile you, You are a pre-independence born aged between 53 and 56 with UNIP ideologies embedded into you. You are caught between a rock and a hard place but I can help you see things a little differently. Zambia is a democracy and free market economy and has been growing her economy 5% and above for a number of years now with tremendous growth seen in the Mwanawasa and Banda years despite the double world recessions. Mwanawasa government and Magande as the chancellor of the exchequer managed to steer the country and meet the criteria set by the IMF & WB at a second asking and our debt was scrapped. That debt was 6 billion dollars and was accumulated over 27yrs . Now @ 7B in 3yrs
@One Hit Wonder!, like I have already told you, stick to one topic and I will help you! I hate people aba sabaila sabaila without making any sense. If you can’t even agree to such simple debating parameters then I have no time for you. Bye bye!!!!!!!
Your article is absurd and lacks facts but allegations.If HH had stolen any coin from the people of this country he should have been in prison.We have had four presidents and none of these proved HH to have stolen but proof is their that someone chewed a client ‘s money but every thinks its normal,no! In other countries that candidate would have been disqualified on moral grounds.
HH over-promising
HH false hope
2015 vote PF ( Edgar )
I thank you
Ubutu mwe bane Zambia ,Ba Yamba Yamba education is very important if you want to know that education is important then don’t take your child to school.A kula moneka kwati ni kapoli.We need a well educated president an Economist ,A husband of one wife and God fearing.Ine palwandi na kana ba Edgar ba chakolwa ,who was ready handed cought stealing clients money as a lawyer and by the way Balwele ,ba ba pamuti.Abashi another state funeral.
Lusaka Times,
I have a question for you.
Why do you only allow articles that are against HH to be published as your headline but those support him (HH) you refuse to publish them.
And when we ask you to publish those that do not support Edgar Lungu you also refuse to publish them.
Pliz allow every body wether one has paid u or not to have their articles published and not always publishing those that are against HH.
To tell u the truth Edgar Lungu is sick and voting for him will be voting for another state funeral.
And when people say you are satanist you start complaining….why you keep talking about death and funerals here? Aren’t those characteristics of DEVIL WORSHIPERS?
Just wondering!!!!!!!
Anyway
2015 Edgar C Lungu has just won the elections.
“we are at war with the devil and the devil cannot win”
2015 vote PF ( Edgar )
I thank you
Mmmmm ba @Pegy Chanda, are you sure about your comment? Never read articles from one Field Ruwe here on LT? Be fair!!
@Pegy Chanda
I wish you could go to the Zambian watchdog and ask them why they don’t write any positive stories about Edgar Lungu but always sing praises for HH.
IGNORANT, FOOLISH , STUPID , ***** NYIRENDA TO HELL.EDGAR WILL NEVER BE THE PRESIDENT…
Is what Nevers Mumba witnessed at UTH on Xmas day normal? Women delivering on the floor at UTH???? HOw in the world do you justify this?Who is in power? Can someone convince me this is normal? What wasn’t mentioned in the media was the number of women delivering without assistance from midwives! Do you know that approximately 290 children didn’t make it in the world on Xmas day in Zambia because their mothers didn’t have money to pay the midwives to deliver them? Are we in the stone age or 21st century? Please please,,lets be serious,among those babies who died was a future president for Zambia. How do you politicians or those supporting PF justify this injustice? Can someone explain please?
HH for positive change! Vote UPND for a better health care system. We will change and modernise the health sector of Zambia. Gone will be the days of plane hoping going to other neighbouring or far flung places for treatment of the rich and privileged. We’ll tax the rich, corporate businesses to contribute towards revamping of the health sector. We’ll all contribute towards it. Who needs a road in the middle of nowhere just in the name of link zambia 8000? Some of these roads are already being overgrown by trees as they are of low usage! Population growth is the heartbeat of a nation. Zambia is sparsely populated therefore concerted efforts should be made to improve the health statuses of our population by developing state of the art hospitals, creating jobs and growing families.
Ba Appleseed. I wish you could go to UTH and see the Modern Facilities under construction.
All the expansion going on at UTH is meant to create space and make the hospital more conducive.
Nevers’s MMD failed to do that in 20 years, but within 3 years PF has shown that they really care.
Dinga dinga
Don’t take it personal my dear friend. ..this is politics. …not for the faint hearted…..i don’t think it’s fair to suggest that if someone doesn’t support PF then that person is bitter.
I lived in Lundazi (Magodi) and I must say Tumbuka people are very nice.They treated me like one of their own.
Anyway…..
2015 vote UPND ( HH )
I thank you
Katondo boys
am glad you lived among the tumbukas. Nyirenda uyu watikhozga soni, if you can understand what I mean. I would rather he posted developmental topics than this. Thank you.
Assumptions are good and basis for explaining natural or observed phenomena. But they should be backed by logical reasoning and facts. The biggest problems with most bloggers is that there emotions and perceptions of certain individuals gets the best of their objective judgement; please be objective rather than speculative and subjective in your writeups. Truth be told that in zambia from Chiluba’s Second term, presidents have been voted into office by minorities; less than 51% required for popular vote. Political parties go through periods of growth maturity and decline; without deliberate and strategic plans to survive they go into oblivion like UNIP. In most democracies coalitions are used as a survival strategies, which i think UPND has exploited well this time.
Fake statement from pf supporter
Thank you for your campaign strategy..The more you post your hate for HH the more the Zambians would want to know the hated man, they will findout he’s not what you say he is. It happened to MCS(RIP). History can repeat itself. HH keep moving!
@ Katondo boys,
I want you to tell me why I should vote for EL as medical practitioner when day in,day out people are dying because of luck of medicine? You are already in govt. I have made other comments above,please convince me why it’s normal for me to see people dying in hospital,no special food or medication for intensive care patients,women delivering on the floor? If you give me one reason why this normal,I will campaign for EL and it’s a promise.
@ Applesed
Pliz don’t vote for Edgar Chakolwa Lungu. He is a Muslim.
Appleseed
Seeing people dying from lack of proper medical care is definitely not a good thing.
But please my dear friend..HH is a Politician and he just want power….he is going around the country promising promises that he will NEVER fulfill…..let’s stick with PF for now and see how they will perform for the next 6 years and after that maybe we can talk….
2015 vote PF ( Edgar )
I thank you
Too late guys, we are voting for this same HH. Try next time. We dont want a me too president without a vision. Lungu is even sick we dont want malilo.
This is totally true.
Please Bloggers, let us avoid mentioning Edgar lungu to be our next president.
The gentleman is only waiting to die and be buried like George Kunda.
Personally i am tired of State Funerals.
But for those that finds pleasure in moning, you are welcme to vote for Edgar Lungu.
The author of articles lacks reasoning.
2015 Vote UPND (HH)
I thank you.
You trying so hard to sound funny but can’t you see that it’s not working !!!!! Dry jokes
2015 vote PF ( Edgar )
I thank you
The same people who are now saying HH is not worthy to bne president will enjoy overly when he starts ruling zambia wisely.you peope should look at your families,how much access do you have to public services like educational bursaries,medical care and other baic needs not just bubbling
The most thoughtless and academically empty analysis of the year. I was wondering who would get the prize but finally we have one by the name of Charles Nyirenda.
No need to waste time deconstructing such a garbagiest content of an article. Charles Nyirenda, you lack analytical skills therefore unable to perceive issues as they are and make conclusions that are sensible and based on available information about HH and UPND.
You have lamentably failed to demonstrate an ability to apply logical thinking to gathering and analysing information about our political landscape in relation to HH.
You really need an audience of dimwits to buy into your series of fallacies of presumption that have failed to prove your conclusions by assuming your conclusions are the proof.
Honestly, the content of your article is not worthy commenting on because it is inebriated with fallacies of weak inferences failing to prove your conclusions due to insufficient evidence.
As if not enough, your content is full of fallacies of distraction making you fail to prove your conclusions due to irrelevant evidence, like emotion.
There is also a heap of fallacies of ambiguity in your arguments making you lamentably fail to prove your conclusions due to vagueness in words.
I thought critical analytical thinking is a key part of university study or the writer is a first year student ‘not analytical enough’.
Write something again after your university studies maybe by then you would have developed some critical and analytical skills and then we will look at your…
@ Sara
You must be more educated than Edgar Chibuku lungu. Thanks for making it to Lusaka Times.
You have really hit Zambia Reports and yo fame lies in the way u articulate your English.
I think you must be related to the Professor of grammar ‘George Mpombo.
Surely Charles Nyirenda a chacoal burner to have courage to utter those useless remarks, very soon heads will roll.
HH it the anwer for Zambia.
your content.
Otherwise there is no need to critique the content when the both the lines of analysis and argument are defective.
This is a perfect example of an academically lacking article in terms of the content and analytical rigour needed hence the article is nothing but a compendium of fallacies committed intentionally so as to manipulate or persuade unsuspecting naïve political cadres by deception, while others were committed unintentionally due to analytical carelessness or academic ignorance.
Sara
I really can’t understand what you trying to say…your wording is somehow incorrect.
Anyway
Edgar C Lungu is moving into the State house
2015 vote PF ( Edgar )
I thank you
@Sara, Agony is when someone says they are NOT going to comment on something and yet they go ahead and give a rambling critique on the same! What are you smoking madam?
Nyerenda has a right to pen his opinion as he see it without the risk of being accused of never having been to college/university. What is it about you UPND sycophants with your ELITIST CR@P? Anyone who says something or thinks differently, to you it is either they are “dull” or “uneducated”. Believe you me, it is this kind of attitude that turns off a lot of people/voters about UPND, and by association your HH.
Please you are not the only ones to have benefited from Kaunda’s free education he gave to plenty a Zambian. So give it a rest about this education cr@p you UPND folks like to paddle.
Sara
Please check if the dictionary you are using is revised…….
I repeat, your wording is incorrect my dear friend,how can you convince uneducated voters like Katondo boys and the boostele team with such kind of big words? If you want people to understand what you trying to say. .please use simple and plain text English.
Ife chizungu sitiziba maningi..Koma chabe chibemba, chilozi, chinjanja, chikaonde and Swahili yonse tiziba .
2015 vote PF ( Edgar )
I thank you
Oh and lastly to all PF supporters,
Can you tell me why you think its normal for a person in hospital to DIE on THE FLOOR without their family being there? ARE WE ANIMALS?
Appleseed
HOW WILL HH STOP PEOPLE FROM DYING MY FRIEND…..????????????? Just how???????????
COME ON GUYS LET’S TALK ABOUT ISSUES THAT ARE REAL…….
HH over-promising

I thank you
Atase Naimwe Ba Yamba Yamba ati Muli ba Bemba.These fake Bembas bale tusebanya.
Mwabena Zambia Muntu ni HH only.Fintu ni Lungu.Do you get this Umuntu Mutwe .We Bembas we don’t say Fintu ni Lungu.Even Bisas now claim to Bemba when in town.Using our language they want to be kings when we the owner of the language we are being denied Universities in northern province.Sata built two University in Muchinga .You deniel as Our chief Henry Kanyata Soasla and you want our vote.Tatuli fipuba we shall show that we were the true PF,by voting you out.VIVA HH northern yobe this time.
what ever you say i Will vote. for HH i don’t care
@ Kelo
No wonder you cant see sense in anything. u’ve blinded yourself and listen to no one. and just go ahead and vote for HH come what may!! I am afraid that is a very dangerous attitude for an intelligent creature like yourself.
And it is your right to do so. Same as those who intend to vote for EL! So what is your problem????
No amount of lies will stop hh becoming the next zambian president. Just eat your heart out baba. The revolution is unstoppable and hh will change zambia for better and for good.
God bless hh and zambia.
Viva flightHH2015.
Zambia forward.
I did not know that paranoia of one HH can be so destructive on someone to the extent of manufacturing and twisting facts. Fellow Zambians, let us ignore contents of this article with the contempt it deserves. The sale of companies and tribalism fables are a dead dog. Let us now look at the following issues
1. Use of Andrew Banda- Andrew is not new to UPND, besides he is a fully fledged adult at over 50years old
2. Lawsuit against Chomba- Allegations of eating children and drinking blood are vote swingers
3. HH not popular- MCS’s popularity dipped before it took off. Same with HH.
4. UPND and the Cartel- Fred has continued to write negatively to date about UPND and HH has simply ignored him.
5. Edgar on Fred- Edgar is simply firing warning shots for the bad publicity in Fred’s…
Ba LT, what’s up with your voting (up/down) system??? You try to give a “blogger” a vote and the system helps you by giving votes to both “UP” and “DOWN”! I have noticed this problem on your articles these days, especially on this one—the forced votes are simply humongous! You give ONE vote to DOWN, the system adds THREE or more votes to UP, and vice versa.
Is this by design or trickery? Please fix it because it is giving the wrong impression one way or the other! I love your site, but simple technical problems like these should be easily noticed, caught and fixed by your technical team. Or is this site being run/administered by a lone wolf?
EXCUSE ME, LET ME NOTIFY YOU!
———————————————————
As for the article, God forbid it is…
Thanks Yamba yamba. I noticed this trickery last year and pointed it out. I was insulted by some dimwits.
Is it true PF will cut civil servants salaries after winning election, source ZWD?
Is it true PF will cut and remove civil servants salaries after winning election as purported by ZWD news?
Even ZWD are prophets now? they foretell the future?
Only a moron with a brain case of a chicken can come up with such tripe! This writer has ‘misplaced’ anger.
@Katondo boys,
So you see where I’m coming from? I am deeply grieved for thousands of people dying innocently. For me I will vote HH since you haven’t given a reason why people should continue dying. If he fails to deliver,then he will also be kicked out in 2016,period.
Appleseed
I agree with you…and I know how you feel…but we can all do this together as Zambians. ….Politicians are all the same….
Am yet to find a honest Politician. .
If HH has good intentions, of which I doubt. ..let Zambians vote for him.
..but again HH is a Politician just like Edgar or Mumba .
Am sure you know the song ” don’t go chasing waterfalls just stick with the rivers and lakes you’re used to”
2015 vote PF ( Edgar )
I thank you
We Katondo Boys are a group of drug trafikes that have been told and
given permission to trade by Lungu.
i thank you.
Iwe Ka Nyirenda, Chomba deserves to be sued so that he learns that you cannot spew crap against people anyhow, he needs to be put in his place so that he doesn’t do the same to other people even Sata used to sue people when he thought they had defamed him don’t you remember that that is how we learnt hat his full names were Micheal Charles Katongo Sata?
Edgar Lungu will win the election. This election is likely to be very regional with HH winning North Western, Western and Southern Provinces only.
PEOPLE don’t go to such an extent, just because your hat HH. Mind you we will one day give account of all our did on earth to God. God is watching for whatever we say about someone. This article is no true about HH. Now that it is clear that HH is next Zambian president came 21 January 2015 ,what are you going to say.
I pray for your governess to GOD over your hat about HH.
God bless.
Very true the Flight HH2015 is crashing come 20 January 2015.
Edigar Lungu is in state house guys.
Surely some people are so primitive & empty headed to say the least.We said this several times but its like people just want to hear want they like even when the signals & writings are pervasive. Please HH will win because the majority have decided already.Its too late for anyone to concoct any story from this thin air against HH! Such attempts were used a lot in the past elections just to deny Zambians from having a credible, radical & proactive president.RB & Sata in 2008 & 2011respectively used these personal & tribal assaults on HH hoping to win & they succeeded but failed to foster social-economic development as expected hence the untold social economic miseries we have on the cheated majority voters who are now hell bent to put HH as their president at…
You have barely 18 days to do that.Its like you are among the illiterate PF sycophantic compulsionists hired guns.Please bloggers like pursue courses such as DS,Law & Political Science for radical & more rational analysis of political & social events.We want article authors who will help gullible illiterate bloggers & voters to make a proper decision.We want issue based articles not personal & tribal vested interests. Your tribes man Lungu has more negatives than your non-tribal- mate HH.Hope you will write more articles & concoct more personal & tribal assaults in the remaining 18 days.To us civil servants including peasant farmers, business people & youths we have our HH to vote for.
EL for president.
at least be assured of my vote. Those claiming that their candidate has already won are just exciting themselves in a dream of fantasy. Same as mastarbating while claiming that you have a woman by your side.
You have one vote which contributes to ones winning. It takes more votes for one to be sure. Remember late president Sata kept loosing while building up statistics. What statistics has HH built in past performance??
Renee
Am sure you are not the only one voting for Edgar C Lungu.
So far 90% of Zambians have said yes to Edgar.
Thanks for being part of the winning team
2015 vote PF ( Edgar )
I thank you
Useless article,get a life.
Now and then
2015 vote PF ( Edgar )
I thank you
I think it good – very good – to have articles like this by Charles Nyirenda in order to expose the leadership discourse to the wider public. Charles, you said you spoke to people that meet and interact with HH all of whom have given you a litany of HH’s serious character flaws. This methodology is utterly wrong. You must disclose the people you spoke to in the name of transparency and particularly how you engaged them. Who are these people you allegedly spoke to? And being very close to HH, what could be their agenda in thoroughly thrashing a man whom they have opportunity unlike other Zambians to correct in terms of his character flaws? I am very sure that you are lying Charles you know none of any of these people let alone to have spoken to them. Stop lying ka Nyirenda!
Thanks Charles Nyirenda for campaigning for HH. My clan has resolved to vote for the most popular Presidential candidate who has been giving PF and MMD sleepless nights.
Very well written article Charles. I love your analysis and enjoyed reading your article. You are God sent, I pray that people will read and understand what you have written. Zambians please take heed and let us not send the don of the devil to plot 1.
1- HH is a freemason who worship the devil and drink human blood. Once in plot 1 Zambia will see more accidents than ever before in history. By the way, no freemason member admits that they are members unless they find Christ. What sane man divides a son and father? What sane man wisges anither to die? You even attend the funneral? Your end HH will be terrible.
Can
2 – Felix is a big time loser looking for a job.
3 – Mathani should have been left to rot in hell. EL get these stupid mwenyes out of our country like Idi Amin did in…
Let the gullible and blindly prejudiced believe this article. I think the flaws of your Chagwa far out weigh the flaws of HH. Come January you people will gnash your teeth as God wants to show that Zambia is for all tribes and not only for those who think speaking a certain language is a privilege.
Your article leaves much to be desired, it lacks substance and is devoid of truth, is out of touch with reality and is not a reflection of the Zambians, maybe you and your family. We discard your article to the political dust bin where it belongs. Here is a person who is trying to explain how he is going to grow the economy, rather than some with political hallucinations. I sense some tribalism in your writing, the emotions behind your words tells it all. I pray for this nation to choose a leader who will grow the economy and make it attractive for investors. It is not about winning or losing, it is about leadership, in fact we do not need a politician but a leader, I hope you know the difference, if you are intelligent enough.
With limited selling points for your preferred candidate you resort to defaming opponents, typical of many so-called “political analysts.” HH is finally making a dent nationally and it scares you. His name is on many lips on buses, markets and at workplaces and his campaign has been clean and focused. Had Flight HH been crushing as you claim you wouldn’t have been compelled to write your desperate plea to not vote Him.
Why waste time on such articles that have no value but to appease its sponsors.those road contracts and many other corruption vices will be dealt with come 2015.
Zero in
Its not happening my dear friend…..Edgar is winning. .did you hear what I just said?
You heard me…yes you did.
2015 vote PF ( Edgar )
I thank you
HH cannot belong to the Cartel. He has repeatedly spurned Fred’s overtures for ‘reconciliation’. Typical of Fred, he wanted to do to HH what he did to Sata. Fortunately for HH, he has no skeletons in his closets, otherwise this terrible guy would have sunk his claws in him already. So forget about the Cartel having influence on HH. Bane, mulimbe chabe, munyamata uyu abwela hot ngako. So continue clutching at straws in the hope of getting something, but you will come out empty. Besides, why can’t we be happy as Zambians that finally, we have a person who will string up a serious team to change all our lives for the better?
Saimbwende
That’s not true my friend
2015 vote PF ( Edgar )
I thank you
It really becomes boring when you have one blogger using a thousand different names at the same time and even copying other bloggers screen names.We want to discuss issues but we have kids on this site who have nothing else to do. Please we do have Facebook where you can pass time….we have this kid using mostly Bemba names plus girl names and even trying to imitate Katondo boys but it’s not working. Please let’s use this platform to sell our candidates….whoever they might be.
Anyway…
PF now going on a Victory lap…..Scott and Kambwili in Muchinga province .Edgar and Miles Sampa plus GBM in Northern Province….let’s go PF let’s go
2015 VOTE PF ( EDGAR )
I THANK YOU
@Ka katondo boys thank you to admit that twa kuchifya mwaice.HH has many supporters this time .Its no longer a UPND issue now its about removing these thieves using Sata name and Bemba tribe so that they keep amassing wealth.This time we shall voet HH in big numbers even rigging will fail.The whole Zambia shall vote HH Period.
The man who was stabbed with a screw driver on xmas eve from which constituency does he come from?did the area mp paid any visit at his hospital bed? is the area mp aspiring for the Republican presidency??if he cant look after his own people in his constituency how will he look after the whole nation?food for thought
Lungu was at Sata’s niece’s wedding ceremony,insteady of visting the poor boy who was stubbed with a screw driver as he was trying to separate a fight.This boy is from Chawama.What has Lungu done for Chawama ?Zero .Ati fintu Ni Lungu which fintu.
Umuntu ni HH who born from a village and knows what poverty is,not K a Lungu who was born in chimwemwe mu town.Thats why he a thief.
Zambians let us wake up,we need quality in leadership and I can’t see that in Lungu but hh. Let us not reduce the office of president to mediocrity. Katondo boys has continued to sound like a broken record in his arguments. For Nyirenda nice attempt,but its empt and hollow article.
Nyirenda, you only made me laugh as I ready through your article. I have saved your article so that I can laugh again at some other time when I am bored. Believe me, it was a natural response to laugh. My girlfriend lying next to me is witness to this.
Besides if Fred was in bed with HH, why are we not seeing sreaming headlines in the Past newspaper on UPND’s successful rallies? Instead, we see headlines talking about a party barely a month old by the unlikely name of Rainbow.
This is so unbelievable that such garbage can be printed. So, presidency and leadership is about smiling? Where did Sata take the country with his smiles and being ‘in touch’ with the people? Countrymen, let us be critical enough in issues related to the highest public office in the land. At this stage, serious people ought to be analysing each candidate’s promises, how they will achieve them, and whether they have the required credentials. Personally, I wouldn’t like a smiling president who doesn’t have a clue about availability of basic services such as health and water. If anything, we all should be angry and put on brave faces to save our country. We must be in a hurry to put things right.
The article is spot on. How many elections is hh going to lose before he hands over for another to try?
U can insult but we all can see that hh cant win. Not that lungu is better ,no,its just that we remember SAKI and CHISANGA
“But know this that in the last days pelirious times will come: For men will be lovers of money, boasters, proud,blasphemers,disobedient to parents, unholy,unloving, unforgiving, slanderers,without self control,brutal, despisers of good, traitors…”(2Timothy3:1-3)
HH PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION. WHY WERE YOU SUSPENDED FROM UNZA IN SECOND YEAR?
THE WELL WRITTEN ARTICLE DESCRIBES HH AS I HAVE COME TO KNOW HIM.
HH IS A HARD CORE FREE MASON, WHO WORSHIPS MONEY AS HIS MASTER.
HH has broken pf’s spine in N/P. Why is Lungu going back to campaign in his so called stronghold? Yakosa!
Its time to chop the family thick forest chop, chop! HH is a nationalist and a statesman who from his own means has created employment in various sector for all regardless of tribe. He also contributes massively to the food basket of Zambia. He is not like other leaders who have used public coffers to enrich one segment of the population and caused tribal division result of what we are witnessing this day.
Listen to me all you fools and *****s preaching politics of hate and tribalism, winners never quit regardless of how many times they fail. Your Michael Sata failed 3 times but he never gave up. This Nyilenda is a shallow thinker who does not know what success is. Zambia is in a mess it is now because of Michael Sata who was 100% a tribalist. The cabinet was fool of his relatives yet he was never condemned. Zambia does not belong to one tribe and there is no tribe superior than another tribe. What the country needs now is a man with brains, vision and passion for the country. HH has proved himself to be a stich above the best. Oh foolish Katondo boys, Mushota, Fumpa and many of you tribalists. You are a bunch of failures. Open your eyes, we do not need another sickly president. Wake up!
I have read this article with great pain as i see Charles Nyirenda my best friend lost in the would of money. The love of money has blinded him from reality. Charles was paid a K10 000 kacha for this article he wrote and has been promised more. Charles is a devil and has disappointed many for his love for money.
Very correct!many people loved Mazoka’s UPND but now many voters hate it under HH!this man is not attractive, hence losing elections!HH is 100% losing 2015 elections to Edgar Lungu!!!!!!Go hard working PF go!
Look, HH will be trounced by the PF Machine when the votes are counted.
Northern- Edgar Lungu
Luapula- Edgar Lungu
Eastern- Edgar Lungu
Copperbelt- Edgar Lungu
Lusaka- Edgar Lungu
Central- Very Close to Call
Southern- HH
Western- HH
N. Western- HH
I WUD LIKE TO TELL GUY CALD DARK LORD DAT HIS USING STATCS OF WISHFUL THINKN .IT WS APLICABLE IN SATA DAYS MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE.ITS NT EASY AS HE THINK FO PF TO WIN.
This is a more realistic prediction! I tell you the truth that man called HH does not appeal to Zambians and will never!
I even get surprised they are some stupid TONGAS who think UPND can for Government!
Read the situation, Zambia is not for the chancres!
EDGAR LUNGU IS THE DARLING OF ZAMBIANS, FIRST ATTEMPT, GREAT SCORE, ACCEPTED BY VOTERS.
Bravo! Article is correct. So mark this that hh shall be a loser again and forever.
The only way your Edgar Lungu can win this election is through rigging, surely the man is not presidential material . Firstly he is a sickly man,he has no vision and brains, he is a drunkard, and he does not know how to present himself.unless he will be a petticoat president because his wife speaks better than him. He looks like a chicken suffering from cocsdiosis. Did you see how he looked when he knelt before Chitimulu? He looked like he had cholera.
But HH’s wife is clearly sick and so is the husband. It’s only the stolen money that is keeping going like his uncle who know very well.
Infintu ni Edgar
Zambians are not intelligent and politicians know this very well.
That is why the politicians can stand on stage and say HH sold the mines for a song and Zambians are made to believe this.
If i give my house to an estate agent, as the owner of the house i have the final say, if the price is not right i will say NO.
The government gave HH the responsibility to sell the mines, in short they had the final say, If the price that was negotiated by HH they should have said NO.
The fact that they signed the papers means they where happy.
Wake up you dull Zambians and see things as they are.
At times i feel ashamed to be a Zambian.
Zambians a dull.
I also wonder why zwd clearly see dark side about rulling party like pf and not hh …..strange indeed! !
charles nyirenda i feel pit for your edger kachasu lungu he hasnt done much in his campaigns and instead of you people helping him to campaign you decampaign him. any most useless pf cadre would not enjoy reading this crap . hh has gone too far in this game you like it or not try to follow him right now in eastern province then you will decide to apologies to him for failure to assist him cos you only expose your foolishness in public so can you try a little bit to have vioson and usefull a bit besides if we start talking about the sick kachasu he might die. viva hh viva upnd you lead others follow.
Absolutely sickening! Expect more of such articles as the battle intensifies towards 20th January 2015.
Warped article. HH is a satanist. HH is a marsonist. HH does not smile. HH this, HH that. For heaven’s sake leave the man alone! If you don’t want him, simply put your vote on EL and be rest assured you have wasted it! Because HH will carry the day.
Have you heard? Lungu has failed to travel to Northern province due to ill health. Could this be another “president” with one foot in the coffin? Or could Zambians start to prepare for another state funeral even before the elections? Lungu thinks the presidency can buy him a prolonged life and yet his uncle Michael Sata died despite having all the money.
While HH is campaigning (working), EL is resting, honestly my people can’t differentiate….
Whatever you say, On 22nd January 2015 Zambia will have a new president. Stop character assassination and stop tribalism. Why don’t you insist that only your tribes mates should teach you or attend to you in hospital or just ride their bus or live only in a house where all the builders, plumbers and everybody came from your village? Why don’t husbands say only my fellow tribeswoman should deliver my wife? Why so much tribal hate when it comes to leadership? Father in heaven help these Zambians stop being ‘Judas’ to each other. We have heard everything about HH and we simply don’t care. We have heard enough about EL and we simply don’t care. We all know what is good for Zambia. A united and developed Zambia. So whoever can promise that will get the vote.
(*whispering to Madam*)
It’s Mr. Hichilema.
Ba Nyirenda you do not have to tell me who not to vote for now since you seem not to like HH i will make sure i vote for him. Every Zambian has a right to aspire for high office including you Nyirenda don’t tell me how to vote i will decide in the ballot box just vote for your man i will vote for my man or woman period.
This article has several flaws to it. The primary one being that it stands on rumour as the basis for its arguments.
If Nyirenda stands by the article I would invite him to do the same for the other two leading contenders.
I doubt if ELs article would look any better. There are several reasons that can be listed why we must not vote for EL.
Constitution, Public Order Act, Chitmikulu, lies about Satas health, corruption at RDA and elsewhere, violence, confusion, deportations, firing and rushed rehiring of nurses, unpaid farmers, Kambwilis arrogance, PF borrowings, mediocrity (Disaster Heroes Stadium) … Need I say more?
I suppose we are entering the last lap of campaign where opponents to HH can only lean on lies and fear.
Good luck, when you get the election results stating victory for HH.
Viva HH
Twisted logic always has a way of giving the opposite result. If hh is getting less than 12% why waste all this energy. U r actually campaigning for him by giving him a simpathy vote.
So LT, how does one get to write an article and get it published here.
I would love to write one too, since it seems silly season is here. I see that graphics are allowed too.
Well. open the floor to all of us.
You would shut it again so fast – you know this, so stop with the gimmicks.
Spot on unless you are blind you will dispute this.HH if he a was honest would not participate in this election considering that it will be held under the same constitution he has opposed.He could just push a motion through his MPS to allow the Acting President to continue till 2016 and push for a new constitution instead of spend Billions on campaign.Zambians open your eyes.Who is humble between HH and Lungu who has the heart for this country?Answer without being biased.
Am voting HH on 20th jan 2015 and you maroon can vote for a 90 year old man who got his certificate 2011, Zambian’s very dull no wonder chines bring they owe drivers of cranes in the mines.
I hate people who like talking bolics on LT. Plse Charles stopping wasting your time and try to use propaganda .
HH 2015 president Zambia United
This article is completely stupidity, nonsense written by a son of a bitch deserving to leave in HELL with great torment. Why do you fool have grave hate for innocent people like HH. You have never heard him insult or do the stupid things your PF does. Why are jealous of his prosperity which he acquired through hard work? Why do you think your satanist sata never jailed him if he stole from govt companies? All the three presidents sort for faults in him but found non. May your baleful terrible hate for HH cast you in hell. You are such a fool that turns on your mother like a dog. Wait & watch HH go to statehouse whether you like it or not. Your cheap propaganda won’t work this time. *****.
From watchdog:
Patriotic Front candidate in the coming elections Edgar Lungu has failed to travel for the scheduled rallies in Kaputa, Nsama, and Mpulungu due to ill health though the PF wants to give reasons of logistics as the reason for cancellation.
But sources have disclosed that Mr. Lungu who is also Defense and Justice Minister was scheduled to travel to Northern Province today but he has failed and is still at his residence despite the programme for rallies being confirmed.
Lungu has so far not hidden his problems with being diabetic and liver complications.
PF officials on the ground are equally at a loss why Lungu has not travelled, but Lungu’s propaganda agent Emmanuel Mwamba a short while ago claimed the PF team has no Planes and Helicopters for the campaigns.
LUNGU’S CAMPAIGN PROGRAM RESCHEDULED TO MONDAY
We wish to announce that the campaign program has been rescheduled to Monday 29TH December 2014.
PF President Edgar Lungu was due to continue his presidential campaign on Saturday 27TH December 2014.
The entire program has been rescheduled to Monday and will go on as planned.
The delay has been caused by unavailability of the Planes and Helicopters hired in this campaign trail.
The logistical delay has been caused by the current holidays.
The agent hired to make these arrangements experienced difficulties to deliver the fixed wing Plane and two Helicopters and could only deliver them on Sunday in the afternoon.
The program however proceeds as scheduled on Monday 29th December 2014.
(please vultures, don’t over stress…
Political vultures,please don’t overstress Lungu. It’s his family who will lose out if illness overtakes him. If I were Lungu’s wife and if it’s true he’s unwell,I would tell him to stop campaigning. Ultimately,it’s Lungu’s family who will lose out and not everyone pushing him to limits his body can’t sustain. This is exactly what happened with Sata (mhsrip). If the poor man had been left to rest rather than undertaking long haul flights which have an impact on the body,he could be alive. Who has lost? His family. Likewise,(I’m not sure its true and I hope it’s not cos I can never wish anyone ill regardless) Let Lungu rest and recover. If he has some form of organ failure flying and cabin pressures can be deleterious to health. I’m not being partisan. Just concerned.

IFINTU NI LUNGU
2015 VOTE (EDGAR)
I THANK YOU
The writer of this article must be Bishop Chomba. He is feeling the heat.
I want to pay tribute to the editors of LT for remaining objective. On the other hand HH’s head of media Lloyd Himambo and owner of ZWD does not differentiate between objective reporting and pushing his viewpoint. And his editors do not care. In fact, they seem to prefer tribal advocacy over straightforward journalism. A case in point— DEC 27 front page article purporting to report on Lungu’s illness. Why do these Satanists wish others ill?
Now back to the election; the electorate in Northern / Mchinga / Luapula must remember the selective plunder allegations that were instigated by Maureen Mwanawasa. This time round her aim is to finish off this tribe but now using HH.
HH is making a mistake by courting Northern Province He is wasting time with people like Nalumango and Mutati. He will never win in those provinces even if Chitimukulu campaigned for him. HH needs to seriously court Eastern province. It has a larger population than Southern province. He needs to move around with someone from there and should not waste time with people like Maureen Mwanawasa, VJ, Dipak. These are not opinion movers. He should look at history, Kaunda had Kamanga and Grey Zulu. Chiluba had Christon Tembo and Miyanda. Mwanawasa had RB. Nothing tribal about that. Thats how things are. Just realism. Ignore that to your own peril. Does he think Edgar is there by accident?
Mr Charles Nyirenda,
Thanks for your article. At least you have shared your views about HH, though in very bad taste. Likewise kindly share your views of the other candidate, who he is, and why patriotic Zambians should go for him instead of the other. As it is, your preferred candidate remains unknown to the citizenry. EXPERIMENTS ARE DANGEROUS! Do not bulldoze your personal opinion onto Zambians. They are mature enough to make wise and informed choices.
Endikke
HH was adopted as UPND president on, only a tonga should be UPND President basis.
I need generally acceptable assurance that he will not run government bursaries on a tonga first basis.
We all need to send our childrens to universities
Mr Nyirenda
Your article is full of lies and speculation and can only come from a paid up individual trying to justify the cash he has collected from his pay masters. You cannot use speculation to drive a smear campaign against somebody and certainly we will not allow you to do this to HH, THE MAN WHO GIVES US REASON TO LIVE ON EVEN UNDER THE TERRIBLE PF MISRULE.
And you are still hearing more and more of HH’s praise singers of which you should indeed be among them except that you have allowed your mind to be negative about Hichilema. I can tell that you do know HH well and you know he is a far much better presidential candidate than who Sata the joker was, than old Rupiah was and you know that he is certainly far better than the drunkard an sickly Edgar Lungu.
Probably you like Lungu because he is giving hope to the Bemba group that always seems to have problems finding a credible presidential candidate. They rallied against the Grade 7 last time (really) – no press conference in 3 years fearing the English language – and they are rallying behind a drunkard this time, a drunkard and a sickly person! Just imagine what calibre this paints of the PF? Is it any wonder that the PF is a violent party, managed only to introduce PANGAISM in Zambia when others introduced factories manufacturing airplanes in their countries. Do you really believe that Lungu understands the engineering economics that brings about positive transformation of a country from a poor one to a rich one? LEAVE US ZAMBIANS WITH HH IF YOU STILL BELIEVE IN PARTIES OF THE PAST…
Your word Mr. Nyirenda: A Zambian president must have the common touch. He or she may hold the highest office, but they remain a public servant, one that should have empathy for the people, to know how to listen, to deeply care for their welfare, and to put the needs of the nation above themselves and their family, tribe, and province.
HH has never been state president. And so how do you draw the above conclusions? When the late Michael Sata lamentably and in real, failed in all the above qualities you remained mute, said nothing as if you were a blind and dumb man. Yet Sata was in the practical situation where any shortcomings in the qualities you mention above should have raised the wrath of concerned people like you. You were LOUDLY mute. Now you want us to believe that the above…
Now you want us to believe that the above qualities are so important? You must be one of those who don’t like HH. PF led by Michael Sata lamentably failed to put the needs of the nation above themselves and their families, tribe and province. They pronounced Bemba tribalism 24/7 360 days each year. You Mr. Nyirenda were mute, we would have excused you if you have just dropped from heaven, but not as matters stand. YOU HAVE SIMPLY EXPOSED YOURSELF AS A HATER OF HH. We are here to neutralise your hatred otherwise it will kill you and many others… we want to make it clear to you that we love HH to the extent that we take it that no HH means no life no future. Think about this.
But this is not because HH is HH and belongs to this or that ethnic group no. It is because those who so far have had a chance to lead Zambia have terribly failed us, PF the worst government that has ever existed in Zambia has failed us. HH remains the most promising individual together with his team to move Zambia forward. PF has done nothing progressive the last 3 years, they were just macheting each other. PF is no longer a party of choice, the MMD, UNIP are no longer parties of choice. They de-campaigned themselves while in power so they aren’t our choice. PF is corrupt, PF has stolen public funds, RDA right now is in a mess together with their ongoing road projects. There is no more hope in PF. Agriculture has no hope in PF. Zambians have no hope out of the mines under the PF…
To find one like you trying to denounce HH with a view to influence voters to vote against HH is to find an outright enemy of the people of Zambia and deserves no place in this land. You want the people to perpetually remain in poverty and hopeless. The people have the right to kick out politicians who simply cheat them. It makes sense and mind you HH can be a favourite of many voters simply because of the disappointment from other politicians who already have had a chance to lead them but ended up worsening the people’s livelihoods.
You are saying that HH lacks interpersonal skills which can be dangerous for a president and that it leads to poor decision making. It is utterances like this one that i say you are speculating and speculating foolishly. HH has produced a lot of wealth; he is already a wealth man. If truly HH possesses these negative factors and they are retrogressive to wealth creation can we then see which role these factors played when HH was making his wealth. What we see in reality as opposed to what you are trying to tell us is that HH has created wealth. Conversely we can say that if such factors stop people from creating wealth then they do not exist with HH! SO WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL US? HH has instead created his wealth and we Zambia can only wish we can share something with him and we…
Remember that HH sales himself as a good economic manager, a wealth creator so really do you believe that Zambians will buy your baseless speculation on HH when they already have seen what HH is capable of achieving in life? YOU MUST BE JOKING MR NYIRENDA. You will not defeat us, the best you can do is to join us as we crammer to develop our country. ABASH SICKLY PRESIDENTAIL CANDIDATES, ABASH THOSE WHO KILL FARMERS, ABASH LIERS, ALUTA CONTINUA THE PROGRESIVE FORCES OF OUR PEOPLE THROUGH HH AND HIS UPND.
I am also wondering where you are drawing the conclusion that Zambians don’t like HH. Are the masses that flock to HH rallies across the entire country animals or humans? Or are they not Zambians? Again this show how you are speculating, deliberately ignoring reality and you trying to enforce this on Zambians. It will not work. You wasting your time. The whole world is witnessing crowds going after HH, unlike the rented crowds going for the sickly Lungu of PF, but you want us to believe what you speculate instead of what we see! Where on earth?
Your reasoning on why we should not allow HH to be president based on the constitution delivery is shallow to say the least. All progressive Zambians want the new constitution to be passed and enacted so why would progressive MP’s who are not in…
All progressive Zambians want the new constitution to be passed and enacted so why would progressive MP’s who are not in UPND block the passing of the constitution? Or are you telling us that apart from the UPND there is no other party with progressive MP’s? If so it still justifies our vote for HH and his UPND team, a team of quality, instead of voting for political groups of corrupt minds, those who push sickly individuals to vie for the presidency because they want a lapse in control of state resources and to steal enmasse. We know your plans. ABASH SICKLY CANDIDATES FOR THE PRESIDENCY. There is no reason why a sensible MP of any party will not vote in favour of what the nation wants, have you been following the UPND politics in support of progressive bills brought by non UPND sources?…
Violence, Repression, and Division of Zambia
The PF have been violent all through their stay in power, they have repressed millions, farmers, journalists, the Barotse people many of whom are still in prisons for no offence at all, ETC. The PF has a very well known poor record of public order act management and so, when you express fears that HH will be violent, repressive and will cause division of Zambia this is out right hypocrisy because you never voice again what is happening in reality but you choose to voice against what is not happening! Can this be straight reasoning? If the PF are ruling with these social vices and you think it is ok, why should it not be ok with HH, come on? If you serious about such vices why are you concerning yourself with what is not happening out of HH…
If you serious about such vices why are you concerning yourself with what is not happening out of HH instead of concerning yourself with what is happening now with the PF? YOUR ARTICLE MUST BE DISMISSED BY EVERY WELL MEANING ZAMBIAN. Mr. Nyirenda must be even thinking that Zambians are so foolish, so gullible that they will buy his cheap story and give their vote to THE SICKLY EDGAR LUNGU, SO SICK that HE CANNOT EVEN FOLLOW HIS OWN CAMPAIGN SCHEDULE, WHAT A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO SUPPORT!
YOU ARE CLAIMING THAT HH IS BACKED BY THE CARTEL
The PF has been deeply controlled by the cartel from 2011 till Sata died. Where were you Mr Nyirenda? Was it ok then for the entire government system to be controlled by people outside government? If it was why now do you think it is not ok, just because it is HH coming into government? Can you see Mr Nyirenda how you have exposed yourself together with your sponsors. It makes me think you are a crooked person. The cartel is a friend of the PF, has been a friend of the PF, never has it been a friend of HH, and you know that it will never be, but characteristic of you, having been paid to produce such an article, so eager to justify the money you have been paid, you deliberately decide to write and cause to be published an article that you…
you deliberately decide to write and cause to be published an article that you know yourself is rubbish. Probably you are in fact playing donchi kubeeba to your pay masters knowing that all Zambians will not take the article seriously but will be able to see through your lies. Your paymasters must be so foolish to believe that you have written a damaging article on HH. Take my reaction as an example, you have done nothing to move my solid support for HH and his UPND team away from him, and I am not alone. Open the heart of Chiti Mukulu of the Bemba people and you will see that i am not alone in this craziness for the HH ALTERNATIVE. I must add that perhaps you have been sent by the shushushus to write your article to see if HH does have fanatical support behind him. And after reading mine…
We are there and we are many, fanatics of HH, his team and his policies. Until HH gets to state house it is unthinkable that one of the calibre of your type will ever produce an article of substance enough to make us SHIFT ALLEGIANCE. AND WE CAN SHIFT ALLEGIANCE TO WHO ELSE? TO DRUNKARDS? TO SICKLINGS? To those killing farmers? To the corrupt, to the thieves stealing RDA MONEY? To those after a Panga nation in Zambia? Thus your project in this article Mr. Nyirenda is fruitless and shall remain fruitless till heaven touches earth.
Zambia is not for sale
Zambia as a country shall always remain here. It shall never be for sale. No one will ever bring plastic bags and pack Zambia to his country never. But if me and you are agreed that Zambia is not for sale why have you not voiced out on the sale of Road Contracts to foreign nationals? This is the meaning of selling Zambia and not what you mean. An individual in governments formulates a road contract and of course many other types of contracts, and to have the project executed this person goes about seeking payments from foreign companies before he can allow the company to obtain and execute the contract. Aren’t you aware of this Mr, Nyirenda.
Mr. Nyirenda you must be careful when dealing with those in UPND, in UPND we do not believe in kaponya mentality which you are exposing yourself to. Your class with your whatever political party you are does not seem anywhere near that of the UPND and Hakainde Hichilema. You better think twice next time you are offered money to write rubbish about us. You will face it rough because you definitely do not carry any finer brain than us in the UPND. Remember to protect yourself from BP when results are announced for the January 2015 bye election

To me it seems like all DNPU supporters are now sensing defeat….and it’s written all over your face too that you have conceded defeat.
Am not surprised that Edgar has already won the elections with 24 days to go before the actual voting day.
DNPU supporters are being worked out with just some piece of writing…..this is Politics my dear friend….and I keep saying it’s not for the faint hearted like DNPU supporters…..
POLITICS IS POLITICS AND IF YOU CANT TAKE THE HEAT PLEASE GO FIND SOME PLACE UNDER A BIG MUPUNDU TREE AND DRINK HOMEMADE CHIBWANTU FROM MONZE AND PLEASE PASS MY REGARDS TO MR HANZIBA AT NAKAMBALA SUGAR ESTATE.
2015 Edgar has just won the elections.
I thank you
Mr Katodo Boys,
It seems you like the phrase politics is not for the faint hearted. You sound PF and a hater of the UPND. for instance u cant even write UPND as you should but you choose to write DNPU. Anyway if politics is not for the faint hearted why did you in PF propose Michael Sata as your presidential candidate before when the guy was faint hearted? to prove it the guy is now in the grave crushed by politics! If you honest with yourself and you know that politics is not for the faint hearted why are you now proposing the sickly Edgar Lungu for state president when he is faint hearted failing to follow strickly the schedule of his campaigns? Do those who are not faint hearted fail to follow a program of campaigns or is it normal in PF.
Please, please people. You have misunderstood Nyirenda. The last paragraph sums it all. Nyirenda is asking HH to make a pledge that he will start smiling, he wont abuse powers etc. That is all Nyirenda is pushing in this article. HH can address Nyirenda’s concerns by assuring him that he will start smiling and wont partner with the cartel. That’s all. Good article Nyirenda and lets help HH rule the country according to the dream of every Zambian. We will have a proper country at last.
HH knows that this is his last attempt…..and he is now becoming more desperate.
NO MATTER HOW HARD HH TRIES…IF IT WASN’T MEANT TO BE ….IT WILL NEVER BE.
NO MATTER HOW LESS EDGAR TRIES, IF IT WAS MEANT TO BE…IT SHALL BE.
2015 vote PF ( Edgar )
I thank you
muzalila ba pa fwaka.HH is next president.
@Charles Nyirenda. You will eat your own words come the 20th of jan 2015. I never knew that in this world we have imbeciles and sadists like charles nyirenda. we thank heavens because one such charles nyirenda like any one else has only but 1 vote. imagine if pigs like charles nyirenda could be given block votes, how so undemocratic governments could be. your article which you spent all the time and energy to compile is only worth 1 vote. you are fake. your manner of personal hatred for hh is so alarming loser. by the way, hh only contested national elections 3 times – in 2006, 2008 & 2011. correct this in your pigsh brain. sata contested 4 times to win the national elections. he was a three time loser in 2001,2006, and 2008 before he lied himself into office in 2011. this 4th time is…
Saki refuses to rejoin UPND
By Lambwe Kachali

UNITED Liberal Party (ULP) president Sakwiba Sikota yesterday said UPND president Hakainde Hichilema is not honest in his offer of reconciliation because he has failed to deal with tribalism in the party. Responding to Hichilema who on Tuesday invited him to rejoin UPND in the spirit of national unity and development, Sikota said Hichilema’s offer to the leadership and membership of ULP to rejoin UPND was not genuine and was laced with thorny issues.
Sikota accused Hichilema of playing to the gallery by using the press without apologising to the people that suffered at the 2006 UPND convention and those who were still affected by the alleged tribalism in the party. He said if Hichilema really wanted…
