With the demise of Mr. Sata, unprecedented corruption is mounting in the PF as they work hard to beat off strong opposition to their continued stay in power.

Such is the threat of a high possibility of losing the January 20th elections that Mr. Edgar Lungu and his PF have, unprecedentedly, wholly and wholesomely accepted the endorsement of Former President Rupiah Bwezani Banda, a man who is facing charges of gross corruption in our courts of law, a man, who, a few days ago was on a campaign trail for the presidency under the MMD which as always he corruptly hoped to bulldoze until the courts favoured Dr. Nevers Mumba.

Mr. Sata should be turning in his grave to see the man whom he fought so hard to win the 2011 elections now be the ‘saviour’ and financier of the party. PF has indeed been auctioned, not to the highest bidder, but to the most corrupt bargainer. Rupiah Banda’s manoeuvres in the past weeks are clearly a sign of a lack morals, and they do not befit a statesman many thought he was. Many would now agree that indeed Rupiah Banda deservedly needed to have lost the 2011 elections.

The looting, corruption, thieving and all the ills of governance under his watchful eye such as the murder of people in Western Province surely reflect the none-statesman stature, and Zambia was indeed better off without him. But alas, he is back.

Now he is back, and at the epitome of tribal and regional politics, he, endorses Edgar Lungu on the premise that he is a ‘young man’. The same Edgar Lungu who ensured that his immunity is lifted in Parliament so that he could be dragged to the courts of a law as a corrupt element today is the darling? Why isn’t Rupiah Banda endorsing the candidature of his party, the MMD, the party under which a week ago he was moving round the country campaigning on? Clearly the old man has no vision, no direction.

He is hollow, shallow. Rupiah sees potential continuity of looting in the PF, and he doesn’t want to miss the looting party should PF win. What else would explain such shape shifting?

Sata must be in pain in his grave seeing his party being used a vehicle for plunder. He must be turning in his grave seeing people he distanced from the governance of his party converging for the loot in the guise of ‘continuity’. Clearly, this endorsement can be viewed as a vote of approval for the proceeds of corruption that the PF has been fighting.

How else would the Minister of Justice accept support from a man his government is fighting for corruption in the courts of law? Or are they birds of the same feathers? It is a cruel irony that a man[Edgar Lungu] whose party has been fighting corruption—or pretended to be—could today with open arms while representing his party be benefitting from endorsement of corrupt elements like Rupian Banda. Edgar Lungu is today doing everything possible to throw away the fight against corruption for political expediency. Is this Sata’s vision that he wishes to continue?

But then, noting the regional nature of Rupian Banda’s politics which is being welcomed well by Edgar Lungu, the celebrations in the PF are that RB has ‘influence’ in Eastern Province, and so all such votes would go to PF. We hope this practice of regionalism coupled with the glorification of corruption will yield the PF’s desired results, and that Rupiah Banda, their new found saviour, will of be good service to the nation should they win.

As we conclude, let us hasten to say that the price being paid for Edgar Lungu’s endorsement by the likes of RB who are in court for corruption, plunder of national resources and the gross abuse of authority during their presidency is simply too heavy. What we are likely to see is that these corrupt elements in our society have now secured perpetual immunity from prosecution by anti-graft bodies. There is no justice when a band of thieves and thugs wine and dine with the Justice Minister.

Sata’s vision as continued by Edgar Lungu is indeed a strange vision.
Deo Vindici.

  1. So, when RB was about to sleep with UPND that was okay, and now that he chose to sleep with PF now it is a problem? I dont like RB and I do not like the idea that EL is anywhere near that old man, but, hey…. If you were quiet when RB and HH were flirting with each other, stay quiet now.

    • UPND is double faced party. When a person endorses their candidate, he becomes a Saint, but another person supports EL, he suddenly becomes a Satan. LT shall not allow such articles. Just report as events unfold, no opinionated articles PLEASE!

    • Your thinking is warped! LUNGU is prosecuting Banda in our courts for corruption having stripped him bare of his immunity: doesn’t it seem really that Lungu is now happy to receive not only endorsement but financial support from RB, the corrupt?

      Bane let’s be real.

    • UPND chaps why should MMD members who support Lungu be called all sorts of names but those with questionable calibres be seen and painted as saints for supporting UPND.?

      Why should UPND practice tribalism via ballot in Southern Province but its called tribalism when the same is done by others.?

      Mr. Moono you are condemning RB now because he didn’t support HH, it would have been different if RB was backing HH.
      Would you kindly answer me to as why my family and I should not give our votes to Lungu when you Mr. Moono will give HH almost all the votes cast in Southern Province.? Isnt this tribalism.? So its okay for you to do it but not others.? If votes in Tongaland are not shared why should you as UPND expect Eastern votes to be shared with you.?

      Come 20 Jan the majority Ni…

    • A dump of drivel by criminals scared to death over the millions owed to Zambian tax payers. Its EL all the way. After belaboring in vanity to manipulate and block God’s given, they hoped he would fail to mobilize a powerful and funded campaign. God who called EL by name, has the windows of heaven wide open with best silver and Gold to realize the calling seamlessly. We are all selflessly injecting in fortunes in the people’s President. Most liberation parties across Africa which Zambia under UNIP funded the $7billion as sister parties have identified PF under EL worth reciprocating through at P-to-P since UNIP is dead. Someone is bound to crash with bitterness and debts.

    • BAKUSA BA UPND, YOU ARE VERY USELESS, WHEN VERNON MWAANGA ERDORSED HH IT WAS NOT REGIONAL, BUT WHEN RB ERDORSES EDGAR LUNGU IT IS REGIONAL.

      EDGAR IS WINNING WHETHER UPND LIKE IT OR NOT.

    • You don’t understand. Did UPND agree to his proposed endorsement? RB is a totally corrupt evil old man. This is what will cost Pf the presidency because 3 years ago you lied to us that you will recover all RB and his team plundered and today you have gone back to dine with him just for a corrupt vote. EL and Rb are birds of the same feathers, and be assured that we will teach you a lesson at the polling booths.

    • This is the year of God’s favor for God’s chosen one. In Zambia its EL all the way inti landslide. Zambian have locked up for humility, meekness, reality, simplicity and servant leadership in a leader given by God who is not a respectacle of persons. He has raised a leader to comfound in haters love and wisdom. Its EL for Zambia all the way. Thanks your Excellences Dr. KD Kaunda and RB for your guidance, blessings and steadfastness. We trully need a unifier and stabilizer of our national state.

    • @Equaliser

      I thought Banda explained that he would have wished to endorse HH but HH and UPND refused Banda’s dirty money.

      Go back and listen to Banda’s statement carefully,you hear undertones of bitterness in Banda’s statement for HH refusing to be part of the boko haram cartel ‘s funding.

      When the story about external funders came out, all the fingers pointed at HH. All PF minions demonised HH for accepting funding from foreigners and yet that was all a lie to paint HH black because he vigorously refused to be part of the rotten deal.

      What are you PF minions saying now that Lungu has accepted RB ‘s dirty money sourced from outsiders?

      When the story about foreign funder came out, I told you that, HH will be vindicated as usual as he refused to be part of it.

      Vote…

    • RB is a political Novice even if he is an OLD MAN but thts the TRUTH. RB didnt do politics whn he was in his 30s,40s or 50s BUT NOW he is aged thts when he is thinking of POLITICS…..hahahahaha it happens in life, just like PEOPLE who ve NOT ‘socially played MUCH’ when they get MARRIED or in their 40s thts when they start playing.

      We are going to embarrass RB. His jobs ve all been on appointment by KK NOT BY merit.

    • Truly folks, people in the Northern Luapula and Muchinga have smelt a huge RAT as the pretty one has put it.

      If not then, why was Isoka rally cancelled when it was heavily publicised and Lungu flew all the way from an endosrment to Isoka hoping to deliver the good news about corrupt RB’s endosrment?

      Why did the people of Isoka shun Lungu rally? Intelligent people must begin to think there is more than meets the eye here.

      In the coming days just before the elections you will hear many PF top officials crying foul and joining HH’s team saying its better to be under HH fair reign than RB and Lungu ‘s reign of vengeance.

    • Those who dare to remember my posts about wrangles that would engulf PF after Sata ‘s death, will know that I said God will unleash the “TOWER OF BABEL” effect on parties that do not mean well for Zambia. It came to pass, after PF and MMD went through the confusions caused by the tower of babel effect.

      HH is now going to win these elections by a huge margin because of the second and most vicious “Tower of Babel” effect about to be unleashed up on PF with RB having joined it.

      Nsanda and his team will now seek talks with Miles Sampa and begin to plot how to decampaign Lungu for not guarantting their continuity at the top PF and government structures.

      Amid this this confusion, they will even forget the rigging formula and make a mess of it such that, it will undoubtedly favour…

    • @The Equalizer, if your pseudonym is based on the famous TV series then you give it a bad name. PF are the party in government, RB is the former president whom the incumbent party in government have dragged to the courts of law for gross corruption and now have entered into a marriage of convenience. Do you really have the love 4 this country called Zambia? How many educational degrees do you need to attain to see that these are dastard and unpalatable men. EL is the justice minister and has just accepted financial assistance from an accused person whose ill-gotten funds have just been legitimised! Don’t you see anything wrong in that Mr Unequalizer? You are now working on the hyposis that RB was about to get into bed with HH but one thing you forgot is that HH is straight! Enjoy!

    • The flirting did not mature into a marriage because one party the UPND refused to overlook his corrupt dealings , is that so difficult to comprehend

    • If they are planning to steal these elections from HH, then they are up for a big surprise because the same “TOWER OF BABEL CONFUSION” that left PF bruised leading up to the nominations will engulf the camp tasked to rig the elections for Lungu.

      They will be so confused that instead of adhering to rigging instructions they will instead start arguing and fighting amongst them selves to point where, the rigging formula will elude them and help HH win decisively.

      If they intent to use ZAF copters to transport votes and switch them along the way, those copters will refuse to fly or will just crush. People tasked to switch the boxes will either fall ill or simply forget to switch the boxes.

      When God has decided no man can change the destiny.

      I am 100% sure HH is winning…

    • Not guilty until proven guilty by a duly constituted court of law. Being charged or facing a charge does not mean that one is guilty. Mr Moono has not mentioned that Andrew Banda who has endorsed HH IS ALREADY CONVICTED OF CORRUPTION!
      RB is not convicted but Andrew is.

    • Mr Ulibe Nzelu,

      Kindly check Mwebantu media on Isoka rally.It took place under flood lights.

      Lungu epulogulamu,
      Emukwaiye…..

    • Dr. neo simutanyi said lsk and eastern are key to this years election

      and me ordinary sos said, ” though mocking, rb is the decider”

      vj endorsement of hh is the not the same as rb’s endorsement for lungu based on weightage difference

      Rb’s weightage is biggest and damaging to both upnd and mmd( mukudya mweka daddy) lol

    • So Hjoe Moono is the most useless tonga. S(he) wants every one to endorse HH. Now I agree, a tonga will never rule Zambia!!!!!!!!!

    • While PF are busy celebrating RB ‘s endorsement in Chipata, FlightHH 2015 landed in Western province to a thunderous welcome. It will be in Western province for the next two days then then proceed for more detailed campaigns in Southern province before going to Central , Then final rallies in Lusaka, Kabwe, kitwe, Ndola chingola , Luashya , Kasama, Mbala , Nokonde, Chinsali and Chipata.

      At least two rallies a day will do.

      Vote HH for a better Zambia.

    • QUESTION ? PF GOVT WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT THIS FOOL OF RB RETIREMENT PACKAGE?SECRETARY TO THE CABINET.
      DEC? MONEY SMUGGLED INTO THE COUNTRY VIA MFUWE FROM NIGERIA AND ANGOLA?
      IG?KAMPYONGO AND DC CHINSALI WHATS YOUR STAKE.RELEASE GBMS MEN OKAY?
      Thank you RB/LUNGU with MPEZENI for the alliance, PF has been done a donchi kubeba swallowed Madam Kaseba you see how pipo change see how bad pipo .Satas party now is RB’s party full control auctioned pity pipo who are busy campaigning for him when the trio have got their own pipo behind.
      MUHABI as special aide,Dickson Jere,Mtolo Phiri,VIncent Mwale some of these pipo will cry .
      ECZ WHATS YOUR SAY ON THE ANOMALIES OF VOTERS CARD COME OUT IN THE OPEN

    • Mono is using sata’s name to emotionally blackmail bembas. Even a layman on streets understands politics. UPND is losing these elections, they better prepare themselves for the same than raising bar high and it brings disappointment forever.

    • @The wise-one, yet not so wise! Of course dead people don’t turn in their graves or feel any pain. It’s a figure of speech and doesn’t have to be taken literally. These are the people we dealing with here? Like Senior Citizen while in the true sense he is just a SENILE CITIZEN with a warped mind. No matter what formulae used, two wrongs will never make a right! I want to look at the archives and see the SENILE CITIZEN’S comments about RB to prove he has lost his marbles (brain)

  2. RB is directionless and I hope easterners can teach this man a lesson. If he genuinely didn’t want MMD to die he should have gone to campaign for MMD but this shows that he does not care. I PF didn’t need his support but I can see that they will lose these elections because they seem not to have a strategy. If they had just campaigned based on what they had done in three years Zambians would have been a bit kind but these levels of desperation are worrying. All the best Mr RB

  3. HJOE MOONO,please also write about UPND wining and dining with the corrupt and master election rigger VJ, The corrupt who still have cases in court like Katele Kalumba.

    Please if you wont write anything then you are useless.

  4. Terrible post, lacks any objectivity, and is full of unfounded allegations of future corruption.

    There is no disputing RB’s reputation. However there is no indication that there is an arrangement to plunder.

    The fact is the EASTERN PROVINCE is one to be won. It’s pivotal in these elections. Unfortunately, RB has some clout among the people in that region therefore much as we dislike him, in truth all Parties would have taken that endorsement as a strategy to bag the East.

    Sometimes in life one must be able to take on strange bedfellows. You hold your nose and shake hands at a distance or leaning back as far as you can. I am sure PF will not encourage further arrangements with RB if they want to win 2016.

    • Kaminamisa Lungu is the same person wh was persecuting RB over the US$2.5million Nigerian oil contract he procured on behalf of the zambian government meant to benefit himself.

      RB and Lungu have promised the same Nigerians mineral, oils and gas concessions in exchange for PF campaign funding.

  5. For me, what is of importance is the lack of morality on the part of Rupiah, not so much whether UPND are double faced. I haven’t seen the UPND response to RB anyway. RB says he is endorsing EL because ‘Hakainde has destroyed my party MMD.’ Who has destroyed MMD if not Rupiah who insisted on standing on MMD after abandoning it for three years and only the courts blocked him?

    Rupiah is a most ungrateful man. The only two people that stood by him when PF dragged him to court were Mumba and Hakainde. He starts by stabbing Mumba in the back by trying to hound him out of the party which Nevers had managed to stabilize when Rupiah ran away. Now he says the support HH gave him during his time of tribulation was ‘politicking’ as he endorses the very person who is prosecuting him in court.

  6. Where is the statesmanship? Where is the wisdom? Where are the young people going to look up to for advice if our own old men/elders like RB are reducing themselves to this low level just for “a bowl of soup?”very disappointing and I hope the people of Zambia will purnish this desparate old man alongside the PF (Panga Forest) in the polls. Thank God we have a clear option this time around.
    Viva HH and UPND our only hope

    • Abana bafumu

      So are you saying vj and katele are young men?

      Are saying it is okay for vj and katele to reduce themselves to a bowl of soup and bad for rb?

      You people are free to panic in the next 15 days

    • This man called RB is a danger to Zambia.He was denying ever clitched a deal with Nigeria oil company but slaps us in the face by going to same oil dealers to collect dirty money to corrupt Zambians to vote for PF’s Lungu .Yes banda will help Lungu some votes from eastern but these votes will not help PF win the national election.It will simply narrow the Gap.Zambians are decided.as long as every vote will be counted Hh will get the majority vote.

  7. What you expect from haMoono. Rubish only. This show RB endorsement of EL is a big threat to HH campaign. RB support for EL is game changer. HH has lost this election.

    • And Muchinga influence is diluted , there will be no 50% representation of minister from just two provinces.

      Edgar will do to Kola klux klan what Mwanawasa did to Chiluba , the biggest Donchi kubauza. While running away from Unreal BBB fears kola klux klan will lose out still.

  8. Uko…HH is getting what he always deserves – another presidential election loss. UPND is very consistent in losing.

    Come 20 Jan the majority will give Lungu their votes.

    Viva EL Viva PF

    • Then the following should thank HH liberating them,

      1.RB immunity reinstated
      2,500 nurse reinstated
      3,The paramount Chief Chitimukulu recognized by the very same Minister who sent soldiers to his palace.(however this might not happen because he still needs to please Nkandu lou
      4.George Mpombo release to try and Ndola rural votes.

      All the other promises ni Donchi kubauza awemba , RB style

  9. Moono you’re tonga so no honest zambian can take u serious!RB’s son Andrew Banda is in HH team and he was jailed from corruption,so is Katele Kalumba,most MMD MPs are in courts today but campaigning for your tribal HH!your double standards in UPND is what makes majority zambians hate you!you only support what suits your HH,why?PLUS HIGH CHANCES OF HH WINNING IS ONLY FELT IN YOUR TOILETS BCOZ MAJORITY VOTERS WANT EDGAR LUNGU TO CONTINUE WHERE OUR BELOVED SATA LEFT! FOR US “IFINTU NI LUNGU”!so keep on panicking you cry babies!

  10. Your name speaks for its self…..moono, what can we expect from you, mention ex convicts like kalumba, plunderers like mutati and shikapwasha corrupt minds like vj who impregnated his girlfriend and her daughter, ka patel only to resurface after sata dies.

  11. In as much as I lyk el,i really hate the thot of him and pf winnin and dinnin wit RB,the king of corruption himself. Rb has a very questionable character and if our party is to fight corruption we shudnt b embracin pipo facin corruption charges.

  12. Just face it RB should fail to endorse Lungu for fear of useless people like you who will quickly say regionalism? Mwaanga can endorse HH it is fine. Right? What corruption are you talking about? have you been in touch with the cases against RB in court? Do you think any of them has a chance of success? if prosecution witnesses begin to exonerate an accused in a criminal case can it succeed? HH takwata amampalanya! He straight away looks untrustworthy. Lungu has amampalanya! He is someone you can trust on first sight. Also Scott has made Lungu. HH made a mistake of showing everybody that he relied on Scotts useless antics in PF to win these elections. Positive effect for Lungu, negative for HH.

  13. .RB is a political Novice even if he is an OLD MAN but thts the TRUTH. RB didnt do politics whn he was in his 30s,40s or 50s BUT NOW he is aged thts when he is thinking of POLITICS…..hahahahaha it happens in life, just like PEOPLE who ve NOT ‘socially played MUCH’ when they get MARRIED or in their 40s thts when they start playing.

    We are going to embarrass RB. His jobs ve all been on appointment by KK NOT BY merit..

  14. Surely, logic demands that you cannot endorse a party that is prosecuting you in the courts of law. When did Rupiah develop that heart of forgiveness. Is he not the guy who wanted to take Finance from Mahtani and his Ndola cement plant. Is he not the man who wanted to cripple the post. Rupiah is vengeance by nature as depicted by his actions. We shall see whether he will manage to rescue the boat from sinking. He has completely destroyed MMD and as father of MMD should have endorsed MMD to keep the party going. He might as well destroy PF.

    • @MONZE

      PF RB has has already started inflicting alot of damage to PF ‘s credibility. Look at what happened to the ISOKA rally that was well advertised. It was a big flop why ? Because Northerners have smelt a HUGE RAT out of this RB endorsement of Lungu.

      He has destroyed MMD, for now but MMD might just survive while PF is destined for the grave.

      All this is a strong pointer to one thing and that is HH is wining by huge margin this time.

    • Lungu ‘s ISOKA rally was cancelled at the time when a huge crowd waited for HH until late in the night in North Western province. He had even planned to cancel it but people begged him to go because people had been waiting for him for hours.

  15. Zambia is fast falling in morals. All those supporting RB and EL’s unity are myopic and short of sound mind. It was the PF government who stripped the chief thief of immunity and prosecuted him with a view to recover tax money he stole. EL cann’t be an honest man because he too is a thief who defrauded his clients’ moneys that is why he sees nothing wrong in flying with fellow thieves. If RB is now a clean man then PF must be taken to task for lying against him. The issues or prosecuting him is to recover the tax payers moneys he stole or took pecuniary advantage of by corruption. This was our money he stole and not Pf ‘s or EL’s. RB’s name is grossly soiled in greed, corruption and thefts and no real Zambian can vote for his accomplice. Better I vote for HH than EL.

  16. Mr Hjoe Moono, personally I have high regard for your Articles, but CAN’T on this one. Why some Candidates are getting excited by endorsements from personalities like GBM it’s bcoz politics is game of numbers. And if morality has to be a measuring-line then Mr Moono give us another article on endorsement of HH by Syria Masebo & VJ

    • @Fair Judge

      No one in UPND is excited by the endorsement of these people. Us in UPND have just welcomed people who have repented and realised that they were in a wrong party.

      Look at the time they jumped on board to support HH, it was at time when HH was still going to sail through even without their endorsements. After HH pulled a crowd in Kanyama rally thats when sane MMD and PF supporters realised that HH is the man to support.

      HH has not given any concessions for people endorsing him at all. He is still going to be in charge because he has funded the campaign out rightly on his own.

      How ever in a difficult position, because he has been bribed by RB using money from the same Nigerian crooks for which PF removed his immunity to prosecute him.

  17. The issue of political party funding is like the adage of one monkey laughing at the other that his tail is longer. All major political parties are culprits of dubious funding from questionable sources. So upnd should stop playing holier than thou syndrome.

    • @wakunyanja

      Prove it that UPND got funding from external donors like Lungu is getting from RB ‘s dirty money.

      Lungu himself admitted that he sneaked out the country to get funding from crooks in Zimbabwe, Angola, Nigeria and Rwanda.

      Do you really think HH can fail foke out $4million out of his pocket to fund his elections? What is $4million to HH who has 20 times morethan that?

      Get your facts right. Don’t just spew rubbish here after your Lungu has been caught with pants down.

  18. I now agree that most of you EL supporters are so dull, and may God forgive me for the mistake I made to belong to such a shameless group with shameless supporters. The writer of the article is so spot on and it has nothing to do him being Tonga or whatever tribe but being a genuine concerned Zambian. By supporting what is wrong you PF bootlickers are hurting more Zambians and distancing them from pf. You will be shocked by the results that will roll out after 20th January as Zambians have began to paint PF and it’s candidate as violent, corrupt and thieves. ‘Am a civil servant and the talks among us aren’t good for EL. Anyway let us wait and see.

  19. No Lucifer’s agent will reign over Zambia. I decree and declare that Zambia is called by the most High’s name, and therefore any one who wants Zambians to scatter in the name of illuminati, will NEVER sit on the throne of Zambia. I decree and declare that only the Chosen one will sit on the throne of Zambia. What is chosen on earth is chosen in heaven.

    • @DIVA no Moslem Chagwa Kudala Lungu will rule this country I decree as a Christian.This money from book haram will bring bad lucky to moslem Lungu.Muhamad Lungu will be torn to pieces once he looses these election.
      Fintu ni lungu ,but muntu ni HH.

  20. So you would have loved it if he had endorsed HH right!! tell me, what would have been your headline if HH was endorsed!!??

    • @victor

      HH refused to be part of RB ‘ s dirty money deal. RB is bitter about this because he knows that HH will win the elections.

      RB has just saved his ass from PF by bribing them with the very dirty money they prosecuted him for.

  21. This article has no merit and is total bullshit.Moono when RB wanted to go into partnership with UPND you were silent but just because RB has endorsed Lungu you are upset and start talking about corruption.Zambia is a democracy and every citizen has a right to endorse who he/she thinks is the right candidate for the presidency. UPND knows that HH will lose the elections that is why they are talking nonsense and making all sorts of allegations and excuses.Its time for UPND to go back to the drawing table and come up with strategies that will ensure that UPND is accepted in all the ten provinces not just Southern,Western and Northwestern provinces.As long as UPND remains a tribal regional party the possibility of HH becoming president are very slim.

    • No Lucifer’s agent will reign over Zambia. I decree and declare that Zambia is called by the most High’s name, and therefore any one who wants Zambians to scatter in the name of illuminati, will NEVER sit on the throne of Zambia. I decree and declare that only the Chosen one will sit on the throne of Zambia. What is chosen on earth is chosen in heaven.

    • RB lost to Sata with the full support from Eastern,so will Lungu lose to HH .so we are not worried in UPND even if you bring 100 RBs .Zambians have decided that this time they will try HH,chapwa,Finito,Kwamana,kufelile.

  22. Banda is a useless old man who has the brain of the mice he grew up eating. Wait until PF loses. The trouble has not yet begun.

  23. This article is nothing better than crap.

    Has hh , zwd and upnd refused any endorsement? Not to my knowledge.

    With open arms you received katele , vj, masebo, andrew banda, and others but you want lungu to say “no” to rb.

    Chiwamila galu(zwd) kuluma mbuzi?

  24. There is clearly a conflict of interest, how can PF prosecute RB and turn around to ask for his endorsement, its criminal.

    No wonder it was done in Chipata because I think Guy scott would never accept that, nor Sata.

    So Zambians open your eyes, do not vote for PF and EL. They do not deserve to be elected.

    RB was campaigning on MMD and now because he was refused he chooses to back PF and not MMD. That old man has no manners and not even the bad ones. He is a seller out. Shame.

  25. Breaking news,

    Flight HH2015 which was in the care of Corporal Halelusa Hyena has just gone missing upon learning that Eastern has officially gone to PF. The Bantustan and Zambian governments expect it to show up in 2050 under captain Nkombo in the afterlife.

  26. We all know how RUPIAH BANDA is a DOG. There is even no need to complain; if you complain then it’s expecting a DOG to start behaving like a human being. DOGS like Rupiah Banda will always be DOGS.

  27. Is the reconciliation between Sampa and EL a skam?

    Neither of them has posted pics from the reconciliation on their facebook. But pics from RB’s endorsement meeting are being flashed on Edgar Chagwa Lungu facebook. Thought the likes of Guy Scott, Miles Sampa, Willie Nsanda, Chishimba Kambwili, Harry Malama, Nkandu Luo, Jean Kapata wud feature on the pics. But only see Siliya, Wina, Muhabi and others I can’t seem to recognise.

    Ba PF what is going on?

    #wantmorepics

  28. Ba Moono bola panshi
    When VJ and Maureen Mwanawasa of the Bantu boTatwe endorse HH, a Tonga, it is not tribalism. But when RB endorses ECL, it becomes tribal. Why is tribe so close to your mind you guys.

  29. Infact they UPND should thank MUVI TV for accepting their money to decamping PF. We know Costa Mwansa and the team have been heavily funded by UPND and its good that their TV station still on free to air otherwise we would have stopped subscribing we are not getting good new we used to get when it was pure media house.Now it is UPND media campaign team. Every news is all about UPND. Am not PF supporter but the way MUVI TV is reporting .I have even thrown away the MUVI TV decoder .

    • Kunta kite ala nachikalipa.Zonda uzalema maybe hang your self my dear cause you thought your ZNBC will continue doing a donchi kubeba to HH.God can listen to the voices of justice.VIVA HH .Zambia shall be united.

  30. The anger and insults from the so called educated elite in UPND is very disappointing. In virtually all the comments, there are references to uneducated,tribe, sickness, death, drunkards and violence. I have always wondered why HH hardly ever smiles, now I am begining to understand; he has developed a sense of entitlement similar to that exhibited by his supporters. They believe that they are entitled to lead us because they are more educated, because they are rich, because they never get sick, because they will never die, because they can only see tribalism in others, because they only see violence in others, because they can only see the corrupt and thieves in the other parties. They are angry and insult anyone who is not like them or anyone who disagrees or questions or challenges them.

  31. PF all the way.Corrupt elements like Katele,endorsed HH and it was not a furse but RB does the same it becomes an issue.
    HH will never fart fart in state house.His farts will be in Bantustan region.He needs to be put where he belongs.
    It will be the worst decision ever to put HH as a head of state.The man is not capable of holding such a big responsibility.

  32. Am when a convicted CRIMINAL and Witch KATELE KALUMBA is on the poduim with HH its ok. u say UPND has penetrated pf strongholds …grow up!!!

  33. actually people STOP buying UPND MUVI TV decoders .They are acting like POST ,they have lost it ,coster was offered a job of chela by HH.he cant even swallow his salver (mata) when doing the opinion poll. he thinks upnd has already won.Mind u those are OPINIONS

    Let people endorse the candidates of their choice as long as the are voters .NO questions about it
    SHUT UP.STUPID ARTICLE,endorse yo own

    AM ENDORSING EDGER ALSO ,SO WHAT,

  34. @Senior Citizen,
    Your continued dragging of God’s name into Zambia’s corrupt and dirty politics amounts to blasphemy, you better stop it if you are a believer of the living God. Confine your trash to RB and Edgar Lungu.

  35. When VJ supported HH, it was not regional endorsement, when RB supports EL its regional endorsement…… You Tongas stop this nonsense

    by the way do you know that there is no political party campaigning in Southern Province apart from the Tribal party? because even if you campaign for as long as you are not To***ng* you can win

    Viva EL Viva PF

    • Hmmm……..Is that supposed to denote anxiety? Can you answer my question? Where all the cabinet members present?
      You’ve also noticed isn’t it. You thought we wouldn’t notice.
      The tower of babel is now in the united front. The alliance will soon scatter come 20/01/2015.

    • Shud read “WERE all the cabinet members present?

      Chizungu nichovuta munikululukileko ……… something on these lines. @RB disciple help out.

      ————–

      Anga nabofya ka IDIOM ati iyo watukana. Wajita ati *****.

    • Pretty

      LOL!Do not worry about chizungu it is not our language

      Best wishes to you & HH politically , physically and spiritually.

      Best Regards,
      Ifintu ni lungu

  36. Regionalism???? That is nonsesnse, eaterners are liberal people thats why you are free to campaign there. How many politicians have gone to south to campaign?? they fear

  37. NOw that all thieves and criminals have been shared between HH and PF, God deliver Zambia to Nevous Mumba. Nevers, ensure that all the MMD thieves and political prostitutes are fired. The truth is that most of the people supporting HH and EL cannot support anyone who condemns immorality, corruption (when HH was talking anti corruption, Katele, GBM, Masebo would not support him).

  38. Don’t I agree with ‘objective’ Moono? Imagine it was RB endorsing HH, he would’ve vowed NEVER to vote UPND on Jan. 20. I guess! Well, I’ve missed the news a lot these past weeks. I guess Moono protested the endorsement of HH by corruption convict Katele Kalumba. Or didn’t he? Moono is so rational that when Southern Province votes overwhelmingly UPND, that certainly isn’t regionalism. Tonga people are rational and vote accordingly. By the way, Tongaland is the only region in Zambia which votes without exception for their Parties – ANC (until buried) and now UPND (unwaveringly) each election. Show me any MP who isn’t UPND (save L/stone, of course. It isn’t Tonga, is it?). Wait for Jan 20 and see whether HH will be beaten anywhere at any polling station in Southern Province. mark…

    Let Rupiah Banda assume the presidence without elections,Sakwiba Sikota

    United Liberal Party President Sakwiba Sikota has advised president’s of opposition parties to let MMD’s Rupiah Banda assume the Presidency without an election.

    Mr. Sikota says this will save the country colossal amounts of money which can be used for national development.

    He said national interest should override ambitions of becoming president.

    Mr. Sikota observed that the MMD has majority of members of parliament and that in the event of opposition party winning,…

  40. When the Fred M’Membe and the post call RB a shameless greedy old man. This is were I completely agree with Fred. There is something wrong with RB. I wish Levy had never appointed VEEP and should have left him to be completely out of the political scene.

  41. FELLOW PF SUPPORTERS LET US NOT WASTE TIME AND TALK ABOUT HH. BECAUSE IN THIS ELECTION THEY ARE NOT A FACTOR AND THEY WILL NEVER BE A FACTOR. BELIEVE MY WORD WHICH WILL DEFINATELY COME TRUE ON 20TH JAN, UPND WILL COME THIRD. THEY WILL BE TRAILING BEHIND MMD WHICH WILL BE SECOND AND PF AS USUAL WILL TAKE THEIR FIRST SPOT.

  42. PF supporters live in the past glory .While they are busy consoling themselves in tarvens and beer houses, HH and his team are busy campaigning at a very high speed like hurricane .Woke PF this 2015 not 2011 baba.Muzakalila boss.Hh is not a joke, he is real threat.

  43. Endorsements on principle merit are welcome dear bloggers,but RB is not principled & did that endorsement with vested interests as been reviewed by him way back before his campaigning trails.However,RB is very very dull in so many aspects,he has miscalculated the mood of the despondent & despaired voters under PF’lies & social-economic maladies.Its wait & see who wins on merit & nothing else!

  44. If Lungu was sensible enough he should have resigned from his ministerial positions, that way he would not risk himself being cited for standing in the way of justice when getting money from RB. But Jehovah God of our nation (Zambia) cannot be fooled, he exposes those that want to use His name in vain and for personal gains at the expense of widows, orphans and other vulnerable groups of people that are so dear to Him. As a Christian nation, we allow other religions freedom of worship while being mindful of who we are. All the battles Israel lost where at the time they allowed themselves to be morally corrupted by their heathen neighbors. Was it Sata’s vision for the PF to get money from the man (RB) he dragged to court, whose immunity he revoked? IFINTU NI LUNGU BUT KATEKA NI HH.

  45. Moono never mind about some of these bloggers they are not educated, they don’t understand real life. If you think what Banda did is ok, then you don’t have morals. Were is royalty? He was standing to be MMD president because he lost he then jump boats to support PF? And you guys think it’s ok? No wonder other races look at us as primitive because even mature, educated people behave like kids. I don’t support PF or UPND or MMD, support people who have integrity. Sorry to say our country will remain the same because citizen blame leaders when in fact the citizens are the ones who can’t think with their head.

  46. Minister Kambwili,
    We all hail from the copperbelt and you were once in the unions to better the lives of the people. Is what Lungu doing real? Do you honestly believe that he will be a remarkable leader for mother Zambia?

  47. Has Muhabi Lungu moved in yet ? We all know its just a matter of time the KUMAWA CARTEL will take over PF. Cant wait to see Kambwili and RB on the same campaign stage.

  48. May I ask those that have condemned RB’s endorsement of EL to demonstrate to here by showing the Chiefs in Southern Province meeting candidates like Mumba, Chipimo, Nawakwi, Miyanda, Sondashi, and the rest. Who really is regional in mind-set? UPND or other parties? HH was in Eastern Province and was received by a prominent Ngoni Chief. HH was in Kasama and he met the Paramount Chief, was that regionalism?

    By those two examples alone you can see that people from the Northern and Eastern don’t practice regionalism as such. So any example of a Tonga Chief who welcomed or even commented or expressed encouragement of any other candidate?

    So why cry if Easterners support EL or Northerners support NSM? Don’t throw a stone when you stay in a glass house!
