MATERO Member of Parliament Miles Sampa has endorsed the candidature of Patriotic Front (PF) President Edgar Lungu for the January 20 Presidential Election.

Mr Sampa who also dispelled speculations that he was leaving the PF to form his own political party, told a jubilant crowd in Lusaka yesterday that he had decided to endorse Mr Lungu because there could only be one leader at a time.

He said Mr Lungu and himself were brothers who wanted a united PF and asked Zambians not to listen to anyone speaking about divisions in the party.

“I don’t know where people are getting the wrong information that I was leaving the party or we are in bad books with Mr Lungu, I don’t have a spokesperson please get it from me that I am behind Mr Lungu,” he said.

Mr Sampa also promised to go flat-out to campaign for Mr Lungu in the election as well as in the 2016 tripartite elections.
He said a lot had happened in 2014 and that it was normal and healthy for the PF family but that it was delighting to open a new page in 2015 by being the first to endorse Mr Lungu.

Mr Lungu took a swipe at some sections of the media that were peddling lies that the reconciliation between him, acting President Dr Guy Scott and Mr Sampa was cosmetic.

He said President Michael Sata was not wrong to anoint him as a flag bearer of the PF and asked the electorate to vote for him so that he could show them his true colours.

“Let me also take this opportunity to also warn newcomers in the party who are trying to bring confusions like my sister Sylvia Masebo, Sylvia is an opportunist who joined the PF way after we had fought and won, she is just a rabbit in the jungle,” he said.

Acting President Dr Guy Scott said it was easy for PF to win the January 20 elections especially without violent activities.
Dr Scott said that in the few weeks he has acted as President, he has not tolerated and will not condone any confusion in the country.

Dr Scott reiterated his assurance of free and fair election without any abuse of Government resources.

Meanwhile, Mr Lungu has charged that Ms Masebo was a nonentity in the political arena.

Mr Lungu said he is not moved by Ms Masebo’s decision to endorse United Party for National Development (UPND) leader Hakainde Hichilema in the Presidential election because she was a nobody in politics.

“Everyone is gunning for me. Where is Edgar, where is Edgar” Mr Lungu said.

Mr Lungu said instead of talking about their candidates, people were busy talking about him because he is a factor.

He told journalists shortly after he presented New Year gifts to babies at University Teaching Hospital (UTH) that there were some people who wanted him to appoint them to high positions.

Meanwhile the PF has demanded for an apology from Mr Hichilema to the defence forces for the irresponsible and careless statement that defence force chiefs were advising soldiers to vote for Mr Lungu.

Mr Lungu’s campaign team spokesperson Harry Kalaba said Mr Hichilema should also apologise to foreign countries that he accused of having unleashed people to Southern Province to cause violence.

Mr Kalaba said that the behavior by the UPND was a sign of desperation because they have seen that Mr Lungu was poised to win the election.

  1. BE WARNED….THE LUNGU TRAIN WILL SOON BE HEADING TO THE EAST.

    RALLY PICTURES FROM THE EAST WONT BE SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE DNPU SUPPORTERS…PLEASE TAKE THIS AS A WARNING.

    EASTERN PROVINCE
    JANUARY 5th and 6th….Fire Fire Fire Fire and more Fire

    allow me to borrow the old UNIP campaign motto,,,,,,
    UNIP MULILO WAIKATAKO WAPYA….

    His Excellency Kanneth David Kaunda has given the Katondo boys permission to use this motto just in the EAST though.

    PF MULILO WAIKATAKO WAPYA……

    Thanks KK, the People in the EAST will be on fireeeeeee!!!!!
    Miles Sampa coming along too. mamamamama

    January 24, Hon Edgar will be signing a new lease for Plot 1

    I thank you

    • Miles, you have been left bruised and seriously undermined. You cannot tell us that the noise you have been making in the courts about your supporters being harassed was all for nothing. How can you accept a candidacy that was engineered by the judiciary and declared by force? This is a joke.

      Either you have been threatened or promised a job in Kaminamisa Lungu’s cabinet.

      Katondo Boys aka Emmanuel Mwamba, please shed some light on this

    • On serious note all Prayers of HH for death, sickness in opponents and unforgivess reign are returning void in this election ka. Considering that HH cannot afford to sing the song “Lesa paleni Lungu [dot] mp3” by Terryson which 75% of Zambians understand and sing, but can only flow in singing “Mu Bemba ngu satani” by his UPND restricted to his Southern Province, this is a serious problem. No wonder too many Zambian commoners feel they could have a big barrier with HH. Lungu is one of the majority Zambians. He comes from among them, speak the language they understand and connects with much easy. Cows and got in Southern province may have to be enumerated and added as voters to give HH a dignified defeat closer to Lungu’s run away victory.

    • Chils

      PF NOW MEANS BUSINESS,,,NO TIME TO WASTE….

      GBM MIGHT BE COMING ALONG TOO,,,,,WATCH THIS SPACE FOR DETAILS,,,,

    • Katondo, you haven’t answered the question of what Sampa has been promised or threatened with.

      I thought as Chiluba’s former press aide you would do a better job at answering these questions.

    • Mr Sampa ,how much were you paid for that stunt,The money from Boko Haram and Angolan stolen oil money?

      You are not a person of integrity at all.

    • Uko…LT is not for under fives with small hearts…lol.

      There you have it folks incoming president has warned.

      Just waiting for 21 Jan so we can usher in Edgar Chagwesa HH Lungu into State House.

      Viva EL Viva PF

    • All I can say is Miles Sampas wife is very tricky, She already looks melted just with a though of a man behind her. Miles you need security she may be weak.

    • #Chils
      I’m equally disappointed-Sampa is really a let down, a unprincipled soul who can not stand his ground in what he believes in……..shame, anyway we will meet you in the battle field.

      This so called reconciliation is fake, wait and see when PF loses how the infighting will be re-ignited.

    • Eastern Province has never been PF. What will make them PF now?? Edgar Lungu does not even speak Nyanja. He is more fluent in Bemba. The point is that he has no influence in his province. He spent most of his time outside the province. Miles Sampa said Lungu is more fluent in bemba than himself. Victoria Kalima has more influence than Lungu. So Vodka Angwa Lungu will tumble.

    • 1.Turning off all media for 48 hours does amazing things for clarity. When you return to the web and TV, things will become more clear.
      2. While we push as many people as possible to vote, there is no primer, handbook, or tip sheet provided on how to avoid mistakes of elections past. We’ve been doing this election thing for quite awhile, don’t you think we should review how we’ve done? Take a look and see if the way we vote has resulted in what we voted for? And perhaps make some adjustments this time around?
      3.Many people vote for self-interest. Sure self interest is a major consideration in a vote, but it has to be weighed against others. There might just be people in this country, or challenges to the common good, whose needs are more important to the future of the country than our…

    • 4.We are easily distracted away from better measures: namely performance, or our estimation of potential for performance.Try closing your eyes in the next debate or interview, you might just improve your analysis of what’s being said.
      5.Many people make their list of positions on issues and try to find a candidate that best matches those positions. This is the idealists approach to decision making: so what if candidate A matches all your positions if they do no possess the skills required to deliver on supporting any of those issues while in office?
      6.The simple test for any political coverage is to ask this: What does this have to do with their ability to do the job? 75% of what gets passed off as commentary on the election fails this test. What you hear is either trivia, gossip,…

    • What you hear is either trivia, gossip, mythology or noise. Pundits have failed when their commentary circles what’s fed to them by campaign staff, instead of applying their expert knowledge to help viewers evaluate the merits of the candidate. They are supposed to help us spot the good ones, or at least point out the attributes to look for, and that can not happen by endlessly dissecting the hidden meaning of a flubbed sentence in a speech, a vague promise, or a mistake of fact, things every president throughout history and forever into the future will, as non-robotic human beings, occasionally do.
      7.The big confusion we make is mistaking the campaign for the presidency. Running a great campaign bears little relationship to being a great president.It’s not like the campaign consist of a…

    • It’s not like the campaign consist of a presidential Olympics, with simulations and events designed to test their abilities. They don’t even get to play RISK against each other. This means our job as voters is to look past the battles of the campaign and make a decision based on how we think they’ll perform in the real thing.
      8.It’s nowhere to be found in major coverage, but smart folks have studied what traits led to more successful presidencies. Sure, these things are subjective, but they offer a better framework, based on history, for making our next big bet. 6 attributes most related to success in office: a)Effectiveness as a public communicator b)Organizational capacity c)Political skill d)Vision e)Cognitive Style f)Emotional Intelligence

    • 9.Read the Constitution (10 minutes). It’s probably been years since you have, if you ever did. This is the engine the president helps run – how can you pick a president if you don’t understand what they’re running? Essential reading. Should be included in every ballot.
      10. Skim the Bill of Rights + Amendments (5 minutes). These are the rules the President and government are obligated to play by and protect. Also essential.
      11. Read the job description for the Presidency (5 minutes). Study the qualities that bear on presidential performance.
      12. Make a position and issue list. Half the list should include your top issues and concerns for the next year, and half should include issues and concerns you imagine over the Presidential term.
      13.Make a scorecard. With the above, you’re now…

    • 13.Make a scorecard. With the above, you’re now informed about the history of good presidency. Make your own list of ten attributes, and use it to score the candidates.You’re now prepared to watch debates, listen to the news, and provide historic context and detection upon what’s said by both pundits and candidates alike.

    • Its not a surprise it is unity to serve there Jobs. They can feel the heat from HH and his Zambia United.The battle is still own, depending on how HH will maintain his lead in his campaign he likely to take the day.Pf has done a lot of damage to its party structures its not easy to heal. Time is not on there side.

  2. Reconciliation is good news, please work together, you will need each other as an opposition party after January, 22.

  3. LUSAKA TIMES CLASSIFIED ADD

    WE ARE LOOKING FOR A 15 TON TRUCK TO HELP US MOVE HON EDGAR C LUNGU FROM KABULONGA TO STATE HOUSE,PLOT 1 LUSAKA ZAMBIA. PLEASE IF YOU HAVE A RELIABLE DOUBLE AXLE 15 TON TRUCK, CONTACT THE KATONDO BOYS AND THE BOOSTELE TEAM’….THE DATE FOR MOVING INTO THE STATE HOUSE IS JANUARY 25,2015

    • katondo ukalila iwe!!!! mamamama, HH nateka yama!!! just accept it now before hand. Pantu the pain of waiting for the 22nd january will be too much to bear. remember akakonko kalabola ka?!!, this is what is known as depression mufitundu fyabakuwa!!!

    January 20,,,,DONE DEAL

    I THANK YOU,,,,EDGAR IS OUR NEW PRESIDENT!!!

    • Miles knows that if Lungu were to win, he would not last due to poor health. This gives Miles a chance to stand in 2016.

      Emmanuel Mwamba or is it Katondo Boys, you know that you need politics to survive, so come Jan 29 when Lungu loses, you should think of joining HH

  5. Miles and Edgar what you have done is a great sign of maturity in your leadership God honours humility. Don’t listen to disgruntled people that come with hidden agendas. We are happy for you.
    two weeks remaining let’s burn the our shoes as we walk around in our campaigns live no stone unturned. PF has to retain the Presidency. Pastor J.G. Is praying for the nation and PF leadership.

  6. Prayers of HH for death, sickness and unforgivess are returning void ka. Considering that HH cannot afford to sing the song “Lesa paleni Lungu [dot] mp3” by Terryson which 75% of Zambians understand and sing, but can only flow in singing “Mu Bemba ngu satani” by his UPND restricted to his Southern Province, this is a serious problem. No wonder too many Zambian commoners feel they could have a big barrier with HH. Lungu is one of the majority Zambians.

Cows and got in Southern province may have to be enumerated and added as voters to give HH a dignified defeat closer to Lungu’s run away victory.

    • @Mwenyo you belong to welensky times.This is a modern Zambia the issue of tribe is not here or there.We fontini, we chiwelewele .Its Zambia united ,divided we fall against other nations but United we stand.Our true enemy is poverty not Tribe.We need Economic independence and not political independency which we are already enjoying.Zambia don’t listen to dull pipo like Mwenyo.

    Besides when one has skeletons in the wardrobe it is impossible to make independent decisions. Emulate my man GBM who is clean and cannot be threatened by tuma politicians twansala.

  11. Promises….yes we have gone that route before and this time Zambian voters are not buying any more Promises.sorry!!!!!

    ” ichintu chintu umwene”

    ” a bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush”

    2015 vote PF ( Edgar )

    I thank you

    • HH was ready to own Sata in 2016.Even if they combine efforts in PF ,HH has no match in PF.PF lacks quality leadership hence so much borrowing and white elephant projects with no economic value to Zambia.Most projects have been over quoted because of kick backs.PF is a danger to Zambia,no normal human being can vote for PF.VIVA HH.3 weaks remaining for you to president.

  12. The PF has now become more desperate than ever, they have even become blasphemous against God just to win the elections.

    How on earth can the ruling political party accuse the Prophet TB Joshua of having prophesied in favor of them when the Man of God never even mentioned Zambia through out 2014/2015?

    It seems the PF does not fear God by putting the fake word of prophesy in the Man of God’s mouth?

    This is the second fake prophesy claim that PF has falsely alluded to Prophet TB Joshua, the first one being of the Newly Constructed Stadium Collapsing the Second being the latest by PF carders controlling Tumfweko.

    Ba PF as long as the Lord lives, you are cursed and you will NOT win the coming elections in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. You can f00l God.

    • So called emmanueltv, you mean you have no sensible comments to share on this blog? Tekushibukafye waumfwa abantu balelanda ati naine ndandeko even when you don’t know what they are talking about. Read the story more than twenty times maybe you will come up with a sensible comment.

  13. The PF has now become dangerously desperate than ever, they have now become blasphemous against God just to win the elections.

    How on earth can the ruling political party accuse Prophet TB Joshua of having prophesied in favor of them when the Man of God never even mentioned Zambia through out 2014/2015?

    It seems the PF does not fear God by putting the fake word of prophesy in the Man of God’s mouth?

    This is the second fake prophesy claim that PF has falsely alluded to Prophet TB Joshua, the first one being of the purported collapsing of the Mwanawasa Stadium & the Second being the latest by PF carders controlling Tumfweko.

    Ba PF as long as the Lord lives, you are cursed and you will NOT win the coming elections in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. God cannot be…

  14. This is good national news……………. There are no permanent enemies in politics………………… Cheers to Sampa and Lungu…………. One day, the tables turn…………………. and Edgar will assist Sampa make it…………….. Thank you……..

  15. I now agree that pf is full of irresponsible illiterates who can’t think well. Do you think Zambian peoples are so dull to be manipulated according to you ill will? On the ground most Zambians are very discouraged against Pf because of the sufferings you brought on them. The cost of living is too high. We saw and heard how you fought and insulted one another over who succeeds MCS and we know how violent you are. You re a panga family and we are scared of you. You ‘re banking on your 2011 deception won’t work this time around. Poverty has soured under your reign resulting in many divorces and men failing to marry as they have no money. Voting for EL who is a muslim and is using their money is surely voting for a curse.

  16. Heart attacks for most EL and pf on 20th January as the pathetic failure government is tossed out by the voters. Praise be to God in the highest. Tu katusheko ku bufi bwa ba pf. HH our new president with or without reconciliations.

  17. It now confirms that Miles is very unstable and those who followed him must be cursing in their hearts. It is him who said and not us that he will form his own party or join UPND and that he won’t reconcile with EL. What a shameless liar he is. Are these the leaders Zambians can trust? God forbid. PF’s EL ‘s campaign team and RB re so evil and they are selling Zambia to Muslims. Be careful you Christians you will wake up one day and there is no Christain nation. Muslims vowed to take over Africa and EL has gone for them so directly. Just to stop this conspiracy my vote is with HH an Adventist Christian at least.

  18. How many times are they going yo reconcile kanshi? Which means it is just public show. There is nothing serious. Reconcile at breakfast, lunch and supper. Infintu ni Lungu BUT umuntu ni HH.

  19. If the online bloggers were the only voters HH would have been president by now. HH campaign is highly pitched at intellectual level. It has been highly resourced. Even if the man has never worked in government, most intellectuals believe that his success in private business and his education will make him turn the economy round. How far this will get to the grassroot is another story. MMD economic indicators were very good from Mwanawasa to RB. But the common man in Misisi, Chawama, Mandevu did not see the benefits. Unfortunately the poor and so called “illiterates” are in the majority. By the way the poor and so called illiterates ‘hate’ the rich and people who boast about their riches. HH campaign team should do more besides talking about his riches. I am sure he wants a job.

    • @Amangenge mwila tubepa.What government experience did Kaunda had in 1963 let alone Chiluba.Both never help MP position before they become presidents.The so called experienced Sata made many blunders bodering on the bleach of the constitution.HH has the right skills to be president of modern Zambia.Zambia needs an economic manager to fight poverty which is enemy number one.So stop misleading Zambians because of your evil motive to put your tribes mate in state house when its so clear he is sick and has no leadership qualities.

  20. hehehehehehehe!!!!!! Go ahead and reconcile with the whole world
    Guy Scott couldnt even smile in the picture on the day of recociliation, whatever threat was made to him
    Rupiah has endosed E L with a plastic smile we dont know what he is afraid of and now Sampa wearing another fake smile maybe the last threat that E L made about Ruth has taken its toll on Mr Miles….

    • Once EL comes to power,Scott,Sampa are history.Mark my word.
      Besides pictures don’t lie.The first picture is obvious.There is visible and tangible atmosphere.
      I know the gullible and docile people have been hoodwinked that now peace has returned ,far from it.Wait until January 22-23rd.

  21. you have finally swallowed yo pride bwana.GOD bless u for taking such a decision .HH wapya baisa ,i can see u are crying again .

    Wait until 20 jan 2015 ,then u cry for real.
    VIVA LUNGU
    VIVA EDGER

    20 jan 2015

    VOTE LUNGU

  22. VIVA PF…COPPERBELT IS HAPPY WITH YOU GUYS_MEN OF MEANINGFUL ACTIONS. RECONCOLIATION IS NOT A BLACK MARKET ATTRIBUTE__THIS IS GREAT LEADERSHIP QUALITY OF HUMILTY AND FORGIVENESS.
    LELO LELO UPND….WALADABWA LELOL KALENDELE

  23. “I don’t know where people are getting the wrong information that I was leaving the party or we are in bad books with Mr Lungu, I don’t have a spokesperson please get it from me that I am behind Mr Lungu,” he said.

    Why are you reconciling then? Vodka Lungu has already shown that he regards all those that challenged him as his enemies. Mark my word Sampa, EL will get rid of you once he wins. GBM has done the right thing to ditch this visionless snake

    • Guy scott has already notified the public that after 20th january,will disappear from the political arena.He knows the journey very well and its repercussions so far,its now for MILES and CHISHIMBA K,they are still blind.

  24. That Outgoing Lairs Party-PF has to reconcile to all Zambian voters for having ruined the economy of Zambia & let alone subjecting Zambians into abject poverty.This scenario is so painful especially to the youth,famers,businessmen & civil servants who are the majority voters.This gang of illiterate thugs & thieves masquerading as leaders surely plugged the country into social-economic mayhems. Only backward irrational & unfuturistic gullible voters will still go for these lairs! A party of suspenders who suspended the suspendee & the suspendee were suspended by the suspenders who are also suspended by the suspendee who reconciled to the suspended & who also reconciled to the suspendee & who fired the firee & whom the firee were fired by the fired who thuged…

  25. A party of suspenders who suspended the suspendee & the suspendee were suspended by the suspenders who are also suspended by the suspendee who reconciled to the suspended & who also reconciled to the suspendee & who fired the firee & whom the firee were fired by the fired who thuged the thuggery & who also thuged the thugs. Its total confusion in PF-useless pathetic primitive thugs

  26. HH and his team have shiki polomya now!ITS A WELL KNOWN FACT THAT EDGAR LUNGU WILL BE 6TH ZAMBIAN PRESIDENT!no matter how you try,majority voters still love PF and we shall vote for EL!Miles Sampa is learned so he has seen how popular PF is on the ground and swallowed his pride.EL can make him full cabinet minister and become PF president by 2021!PF IS HERE TO STAY BCOZ ITS NOT A BANTUSTAN PARTY!HAPPY 2015 TO PF LOVERS!THIS IS A YEAR OF FAVOUR FOR OUR PARTY!MILES SAMPA HAS GIVEN US A NICE NEW YEAR GIFT!GO PF GO!

  27. Zambia is on lockdown for ECL! There are times when I think there are two Zambias – Zambia for bloggers and the real Zambia which has absolutely no semblance tp the real Zambia. Zambia is voting pf back in office and EL as 6th President. Cheat yourself by choice….Zambia is not and may never vote HH.

    TEACHER: What tense is this – HH will be the 6th president of Zambia?

    Hantobolo: Future impossible tense sir!

  28. I am pretty sure the party is now over for UPND and the Bwinjimfumu cartel. You celebrated too quickly—now you see, now you don’t—that’s politics for you. GBM the biggest loser here!

    We now await to see how UPND will survive after the departure of HH from the scene—which, one way or another, is coming to UPND some day too! With the kind of “personality cult” UPND has built around one man, HH, the internal turmoil and infighting we have just witnessed in PF will look like child’s play with UPND. You can NOT personalize an organization the way HH has done to UPND and hope to have a health succession after you exit the scene. Especially given the fact that UPND has a scanty record when it comes to holding Party Conferences to elect its leaders.

    Good luck folks!

    • PF kwena mulasekesha why are you celebrating with miles Nsampa’s come back when you were saying he was not a factor and that he is a cartel member.What has changed now?Weather Sampa or Lungu even Sata if he was alive HH is ready and ripe to take own anyone.Muntu ni HH chabe.FINITO.

  29. It is good to see these chaps coming back to their senses finally. A pity that some have completely lost theirs. This is what MMD should have been doing, reconciling and coming together for the same purpose and cause. So PF has a few bad seeds who have exposed themselves. It is important to put their personal agendas behind and indeed rally behind one candidate and unite the party. Thumbs up to PF for coming out strong and positive after all the mess. They can only save the sinking bought by collaborating and involving everyone.

  30. Somebody is already held to ransom and will dance to the fiddlers tune! In this case there are already too many fiddlers playing different tunes thus only a puppet can best match with the dance.

  31. I agree with Masebo who says there can be no reconciliation at the top level without reconciliation at the grassroots. The PF leadership in Western Province has opted to support HH because of the harassment they suffered at the hands of Edgar Lungu ‘s thugs. There is no reconciliation really. How do we reconcile with criminals. Right now there are cadres from the opposition who are nursing wounds in Levy Mwanawasa suffers at the hands of Edgar Lungu ‘s PF thugs. Interestingly you will never hear Lungu condemn these criminal acts. Shame.

  32. KIKIKI UPND GUYS ALWAYS OVERATE THEMSELVES.THE QUESTION WHICH THEY FAIL TO ANSWER AND NEVER ANSWERED SINCE 2001 IS WHERE IS HH GOING TO GET THE VOTES FROM.HH CAME INTO POLITICS THROUGH TRIBALISM AND WELL MEANING ZAMBIANS WON’T VOTE 4 SUCH A LEADER WHO CAN KILL OTHER TRIBES.FOR HIMSELF IT’S ABOUT A TONGA TO BE A PRESIDENT COZ PIPO WHO COME INTO POLITICS ARE DANGEROUS TO THE NATION. THIS IS THE REASON GBM IN KASAMA WILL BE TAUGHT A LESSON WHICH HE WILL NEVER FORGET.WE CAN’T SELL PF TO A REGION PARTY WHICH INSULTS OTHER TRIBES IN SONGS.TELL UPND TO KNOW THAT HE IS LOSING COME 20TH JANUARY EVEN IF HE CAMPAIGNS ON NEW YEAR.HE MAY CAMPAIGN EVERY MINUTE BUT HE CAME INTO POLITICS TROUGH TRIBALISM.WHERE IS SAKWIBA SIKOTA,PATRICK CHINSAGA N OTHERS?TRIBAL POLICTS WON’T WORK MAYBE IN SOUTHERN

  33. WHO CARES IF WESTERN PROVINCE PF MEMBERS SUPPORT HH?THOSE ARE UPND SUPPORTERS IN THE NAME OF PF.WE LOVE PF WHETHER U GIVE US MONEY OR NOT NI DONCHI KUBEBA.INFACT HH HAS MONEY NOW.WE’LL EAT EVERYTHING IN COPPERBLET,EASTERN,LUPAULA,LUSAKA,NORTHER,MUCHINGA BUT NI SHIIIIIIIIIII DON’T KUBEBA.MUKALILA IMWE BA TRIBAL PARTY.U THINK WE CAN VOTE TRIBAL PARTY.HELLLLLLLLLLLLLL NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.WHY INSULTING BEMBAS THAT THEY ARE SATANISTS.THIS IS A REASON U CAN’T COME INTO POLITCS THROUGHT TRIBALISM.LOOK AT PF EVERYONE IS SUPPORTING EL DESPITE SATA BEING A BEMBA.MOST UPND SUPPORTERS WERE SAYING BEMBAS WON’T ALLOW LUNGU.KIKIKI INFACT WE BEMBAS SUPPORTED LUNGU NOT EVEN EASTERNERS WERE WILLING.WE ALWAYS DON’T SUPPORT TRIBAL POLITICS IN ZAMBIA.WE DID IT WHEN CHILUBA PICKED MWANAWASA N WE HAVE DONE IT…

  34. They said Flight HH, now it resembles Malaysia Flight 370! Where are you HH. Now it is now ALEISA, it is ALIKWISA!

  35. In his retirement, I hope Dr. Scott will write a book about all these events. I want to read and re-read the chapters on the flip-flop reconciliations in PF. I want to understand the psychology of a modern politician and what mindset besets these people to behave like spoilt children in a playground at a nursery school.
    Even traffic lights cannot match the speed of break up- reconciliation – break up- reconciliations -break up etc.. in PF. And these off on off on events are NOT driven by conflict of visions for the Country. No, far from it. They are driven by big egos, in each one of these men and nothing else.

    I am sure the book will be a best seller.

    • Umm sounds like you already understand the ‘psychology’ of these selfish scnmbags. Please do not call these ‘modern politician’… that’s almost like trying to equate them on the same level with the likes of Cameron, Obama or even the Botswana guy. I think you have already described what does not drive their political ambitions.

  36. Sampa 2021!

    Wow don’t they look s.e.x.y? Thanx sampa for coming out of it. You have truely shown signs of leadership. You have truly shown that you are made of PF. Your time is truly coming. Thanks Scot for your input. Now guys teach this HH and group a bitter lesson they ‘ll never forget their entire lives by sweeping them clean.

  37. Michael Sata was the one who promoted tribalism. He was only employing his relatives, girl friends and former girl friends, uncles, nephews, grand children, aunties. He left all his relatives in key positions a thing non of his predecessors ever did. What do you call that, is it not tribalism? He took money meant for development in other provinces and used that money to develop Muchinga, what do you call that? He was the father of tribalism and confusion. Why put the blame on other people?

  38. Its only in Zambia where you see this can happen because politicians know that most Zambians have no brains.
    Grown ups from the same party fighting in public and taking each other to the courts of law and all they say is, we have reconciled and you believe them.
    All i can see here is ifintu ni lungu or flight HH 2015 and NO one has told us about the manifestos of their candidates once elected as president.
    What are these guys going to do about our the Economy, Agriculture, Mining, Foreign Policy, Health, Education, Constitution etc.
    Just shows how dull and stupid Zambians. How i wish i could change my nationality .

  39. Reconciliation, what reconciliation? Miles Sampa has made a calculated move after being advised by medical doctors and elders from his home to hold on a little while longer with the hope that Edgar Lungu’s shiki polomya gets worse then he can make his move. The body language can tell that he does not mean what he is saying. He knows that Edgar Lungu is a walking white washed tomb. Has anyone ever observed that even Guy Scot only did what he di for the sake of peace? He only tells people to vote for PF and he does not mention Edgar Lungu. Miles Sampa has been told not to leave his uncle’s party to the ,dogs, snakes like kambwili, pigs and vultures!!!!! Can someone smell the coffee please!!! It is only rights that he pretends to support a man who has one leg already in the coffin.

  40. Even me given a chance, I would not run away from a man like Edgar Lungu with the type of shiki polomya he has. Lungu is a dying kakoswe while Miles is a cat.

  41. Sampa is not a clever person, and I’m actually shocked to realise this. I used to hold him with some respect. He is so dull it is unbelievable, but may be that is why Edgar Lungu keeps dribbling him. EL knows Sampa very well to be a dull coward. You have to give credit to EL sometimes. Otherwise this is the end of Sampa’s political career, especially that HH is winning these elections to bring change to Zambia. Political careers favour the brave, Sampa should not have pulled his tail under his a.r.s.e for Edgar Lungu who is a finished and losing chap.

    Just wait, after 2 months, GBM will still be flying and Sampa will be running away being chased by banks for their loans. That is why GBM is successful businessman, he can see and smell a loser (like EL) from 10 miles away!!

  42. If you’re playing a poker game and you look around the table and and can’t tell who the sucker is, it’s you.
    The beautiful thing about poker is that everybody thinks they can play.

  43. Reconciliation my a$s. This is a shrouded and calculated move by Samoa or Lungu has made him to believe. First he knew these elections were already gone and out of reach for him. So here is a ‘win-win’ situation for him (or at least in his mind): Lungu loses the elections, Sampa takes over the reigns of PF and gets a crack in 2016 (they could have reached this compromise with Edgar Lungu). 2nd scenario and most ideal for him is Lungu wins, Sampa gets to keep his job (perhaps a promise of vice-president position or a better ministry). 3rd speculation is: Lungu has a dossier on Samoa about Ruth Mbangu death and we all know jail is worse.

    Qn is why do they even need reconciliation in the first place? Why didn’t they think through all this a little better from the start?

    • Sorry ‘Samoa’ above should read as ‘Sampa. Fun somehow my phone auto-corrects Sampa to Samoa… go figure.

      By the way LT why do you have the same caption on every photo – couldn’t you have just put it once at the top? Cr@zy!

  44. Leaving fellow Under -5 HH in his age group….kikikiki. Bushe ba Sampa bu under-5 bwabo bwapwilila pa December 31 2014?

  45. This is sweet. Men wrapping a chitenge around their waist and making nice with each other. No hard feelings. You gotta love such a kodak moment.

    Sweeter still will be when they hug each other and comfort each other after defeat at the polls.
