Patriotic Front President Edgar Lungu has described the burning of a PF branded speed-boat in Lusaka by suspected opposition cadres as an act of provocation which his party does not intend to respond to.
Mr. Lungu says his party is aware that by allegedly burning the PF branded speed-boat and the recent smashing of two cars branded with his posters, the opposition UPND is only daring the PF to react.
Speaking this afternoon when he addressed a rally in Kapiri Mposhi, Mr. Lungu warned that the opposition political party should be wary that the ruling PF has both the numbers and physic to defeat it in a physical fight it is provoking his party to engage in.
Mr. Lungu has sternly cautioned UPND president Hakainde Hichilema to restrain his party cadres from provoking the ruling party.
The PF president states that his does not want the opposition UPND to have an opportunity to give an excuse of rendering this month’s presidential election as not being free and fair when it loses.
Mr. Lungu is also calling upon all party members to remain calm amidst all provocations that are allegedly coming from the opposition UPND in order that this month’s presidential election is held in a free and fair atmosphere.
And speaking at the same rally, former President Rupiah Banda has justified his endorsement of Mr. Lungu’s candidature.
Mr. Bands says from the personal interactions he has had with Mr. Lungu he has come to the realization that the ruling PF president is a kind of leader who listens to the people.
He notes that this quality of listening to the people is the best attribute of wisdom he admires in Mr Lungu.
The former Head of State has reiterated that it is for this reason that he still maintains that Mr. Lungu makes the best candidate to be voted in as the county’s next President as he has demonstrated that he wants to work towards bettering Zambia from what it is today.
Mr. Banda has also maintained that despite the PF government dragging him to court, he still holds no grudge against Mr. Lungu or the ruling PF because he is a man who believes in forgiveness.
Meanwhile former Kabwe Central Member of Parliament Austin Chewe at the same rally endorsed the candidature of Mr. Lungu.
Captain Chewe says his action has been prompted by the fact that Mr. Lungu’s leadership is one that is borne to the people as opposed to being an imposition on the people.
He says he thus thinks that Zambia’s democracy has matured and that all people that mean well and who want to see a better Zambia should vote for the PF candidate in this month’s presidential election.
Edgar lungu,, you dont intend to respond but you just did,,,,, and RB how many times are you going to endorse Edgar lungu??
RB notes that this quality of listening to the people is the best attribute of wisdom he admires in Mr Lungu…
I think we should read that as ED is listening to RB. Chuckle.
Just got a message from someone who attended PF rally in Mansansa Mkushi Farm -Block. This is what they had to say;
“Yes I was at a pf raly at masansa in Mkush farmblok. there was a big embarrassment as pipo shouted down area MP Ingrid Mpande b4 she can open her mouth 2 speak. she disgracefully went back 2 ha chair and sat dwn. pipo were feried frm far away places 60km away. and almst haf of the crowd were school chldren. and mst pipo i toked 2 Said thy didnt get wht thy wre expecting 2 HEAR FRM THR PRESDENT. THY LAMENTED THT THEY WRE VERY DISAPOINTED”.
I`ve not had information from this part of Central Province on how HH and Lungu are doing, so I assigned somebody to give me some data. Things do not look good for Lungu.
These guys have nothing to say. RB is feeling the heat now and wants to keep justifying his reasons for backing EL but we all know why. For those with wax in their ears, here again is the reason:Mr Banda is a man who suddenly believes in forgiveness and he is hoping that can rub off to EL so that he can be forgiven should in the very unlikely event his horse scrapes through. All normal thinking ZAMBIANS know that RB has backed the wrong horse and the little loot he has would have been best used to defend himself in the courts of law when we take over the cases as UPND. Old man RB, there is no way out now and all good things must at some point come to an end. You have made too many enemies RB to escape chimbwakaila. You will make history as 1st former presido to have been locked up.
Why are you accusing upnd to have burnt the boat? It could be anyone who hates pf that burnt the boat, it could even have been Mulyokela’s supporters.
And why were you keeping the boat on the streets? Take it on water.
ALL SUCH BAD ATTITUDE FROM UPND SUPPORTERS/BLOGGERS. IS THIS THE BEST RESPONSE YOU CAN GIVE TO SUCH NEWS? AND U EXPECT TO BE VOTED INTO POWER NEXT WEEK? CRY THE BELOVED ZAMBIA!!
e visionless iyi kaili bakwata ba CHIPUBA Aba ba Edgar
ANYWAY, WHAT ELSE DOES ONE EXPECT FROM HH CAMP? THESE ARE LAST KICKS OF LOSING WATCH DOGS. AS LUNGU HAS POINTED OUT THE OPPOSITION UPND ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO BLAME FOR LOSING THE ELECTIONS. BUT THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO IGNORE THE LOSING ‘DOGS’.
love is the ultimate quintessence of our humanity. it transcend above everything else as it exemplifies and epitomizes the positive character and wisdom of what a leader must be.
Hakainde is a definitive example of a narcissistic, conceited, self absorbed, vain egotistic and elitist without any element of connectivity to ordinary people.
He presents a nauseating, repugnant repulsive force embellished in satanic freemason
Munkombwe is free to endorse his fellow tribal mate. besides his influence is only within the borders of southern province.
What a serious act of provocation, all along UPND thugs have been trying to provoke PF, well said President Lungu we will not fall for this provocation by any means..our weapon is a peaceful one and that is the ballot which we have already won…
January 21, it will be announced…Edgar Lungu is leading in the elections
January 23/24 it will be announced…Edgar Lungu has won the elections
By the first week of February it will be announced…HH has resigned as UPND president..
****VIVA EDGAR LUNGU 2015 AND 2016****
The details on the ground are different. The PF cadres actually burnt their own boat as a strategy to divert attention from PF violence! PF are liars!

@ Kazhila
Is this how low Zambians morals have gone? Its a shock to see such like responses to a barbaric act, Honestly, HH is dividing this nation. Sooner or later even UPND supporters will come to realize this, hope it will not be too late.
Keep on dreaming. The revolution train is moving at high speed and is unstoppable. Shock awaits you and your kind who think that people are still interested in the confusion and disorder created by your PF. Uleshala weka mu bwato with a broken paddling stick.
@One Hit Wonder!, I ain’t dead. I am perfectly alive and kicking. But what I am NOT going to do, and I mean absolutely not do, is engage in mindless debates and arguments with prehistoric Neanderthals such as yourself.
I have noticed that you always want to bring my name or hook me into your stvp!d commentaries even when I have not commented on the topic at hand. Sure, anyone can tabulate a list of names of fellow bloggers they usually don’t agree with and try to scandalise them. But that’s cheap! It only shows how shallow and intellectually bankrupt you are. If it is a conversation you want with me, please show some maturity and manners, then we can talk. For now, since you seem bored, you can go bend over and s@ck your other head until you jerk off, you preak!!!
Hit wonder
We know Lungu is winning, so why should we be online the entire time. Let me make some money so i can finish my mansion in new Kasama.
Umwenso Ba PF. You started this violence with your machetes. Now that some one hits back slightly Ati we are peaceful. He hehe
PF branded speed boat? I thought a canoe would be a nicer cultural branded product. Could have it locally made…
Burning boats is out of order. Did this happen because PF are too busy burning bridges…
You have spoken up over a boat and yet when a chopper almost went down you were in shush mode. Speak louder. Now tell the thugs in the city hoods to chill.
UPND has no reason to burn the boat. Don’t burn your sinking boat and blame UPND. What a vicious way to talk for a ‘humble’ leader.
PROPHESY
Chagwa, where u going, come back, sit down.
what r u trying to do, fighting everyone.
Look, what do you see,
‘i see a man falling from a hill as he was climbing it’
‘look at his face, what do you see’
‘i see a face………..’ and in shock, it is his face.
For i have put upon u a curse, it is in your name, and this is how u will end.
but i will not abandon you, comfort will i give u, for.it is not your doing that u have fallen, but my decree.
i have set this time, to show my love for this land and people
Give people msg. EL is losing momentum. The RB factor has evaporated.
Give the nation the message.
RB has finally found a person he can confide in. Has your wife recovered Mr. Banda?
RB is not confiding in EL. This man wants to lead through EDGAR . Edgar is not standing on PF ticket in 2016 anyway . Emmanuel Mwamba will do to him what he did to a former President
I yeeee. ..mwebanthu. .This is not good at all. Let’s live as one despite our different political affiliations.
Whether UPND like it or not,PF will retain power next week!!!majority Zambians are just waiting to confirm that on 20/01/2015.from what i have seen and heard throughout PF strongholds,HH must prepare himself for a rude shock!!!EDGAR LUNGU IS INDEED OUR JUBILEE PRESIDENT!!!GO PF GO AND PLEASE IGNORE PROVOCATIVE UPND CADRES.AM SURE THEY’VE SEEN HOW UNPOPULAR THEIR TRIBAL PARTY AND HH ARE ON THE GROUND!!!!IFINTU NI LUNGU!!!
Don’t retaliate
Who from the other parties can dare go nearer to the Panga wielding PF cadres. This is a total lie by PF. We are used to their lies! Mr. Lungu, Just campaign, remember you have not been to all the areas and you are remaining with 6 days!
Burn all the Panga Family boats, go after them.
And you expect to win the forthcoming elections?
Remember william makofi Banda is in upnd. Ndewo zayenda ku upnd.
“Mr. Lungu warned that the opposition political party should be wary that the ruling PF has both the numbers and physic to defeat it in a physical fight it is provoking his party to engage in.”
That’s the presidential candidate speaking.No wisdom at all.Why not just allow your spokes person to respond instead of you.
Mr.Lungu I now believe that you are a violent person.No wonder you have remained mute while your cadreS are busy hacking innocent citizens.
I thought the boat sunk, did they manage to retrieve it? You make another boat, Kabimba, Scott and the late are the owners of that boat, Chagwa why complain? Make you own, yours won’t sail as it is made from glass.
Ba Chikenda, are you sure a boat made of glass can’t float?
Just got a message from someone who attended PF rally in Mansansa Mkushi Farm -Block. This is what they had to say;
“Yes I was at a pf raly at masansa in Mkush farmblok. there was a big embarrassment as pipo shouted down area MP Ingrid Mpande b4 she can open her mouth 2 speak. she disgracefully went back 2 ha chair and sat dwn. pipo were feried frm far away places 60km away. and almst haf of the crowd were school chldren. and mst pipo i toked 2 Said thy didnt get wht thy wre expecting 2 HEAR FRM THR PRESDENT. THY LAMENTED THT THEY WRE VERY DISAPOINTED”.
I`ve not had information from this part of Central Province on how HH and Lungu are doing, so I assigned somebody to give me some data. Things do not look good for Lungu.
For christians, It’s possible that this burning of the boat was an act of God, as a symbolic gesture and warning.
For non-christians, this was spontaneous combustion, a well-known scientific phenomenon.
Edgar, stop issuing barely-veiled threats. The time to show your mettle was in the debate that you embarrassingly shied away from.
In as much as we disagree that was bad leave the boats.lets continue our fight in a democratic way
where is chishimba kam wili, guy scott etc. its like these guys feel betrayed by edgar for embracing rupiah banda
Chishimba Kambwili, Guy Scot, Nkandu Luo, Willie Nsanda . Out of work next week , who ever wins
We should have been worried if the chopper carrying Lungu was downed but not this boat that sails on roads. I think it was long over due to have the boat set ablaze after the Mongu indecency.
Banda was even telling his rally that PF can beat UPND hands down; can you imagine a ring with HH and EL in? RB would definitely throw in a white towel on EL side because this candidate has damaged rungs and can be grounded in the first round.
So before the supporters take on each other, it has to be HH against EL and we all just give moral support.These guys have to feel how painful the punches are.
You are asking that where is scort and kambwili.Ask us,it’s us the PF who can give you information. All these people you are asking about are together with Scort and edgar is with the other group.You just want them to be in one place,no.They are actually in some other places campaigning as for Kambwili and others,they have been with scort since the campaigns started and they have actively done it.Talk about your house my friend not your neighbour’s.
And thats because PF burnt it themselves.
@john k, what is the meaning if chagwa?
dont duck, answer.
chagwa is falling, and its not his fault.
chishimba is my pal, he has taken a back seat from the circus,
and so has guy scott,
check their movements.
things are bad for pf my friend
pf chose a chi za gwa for candidate, what a mess.
Politicians should stop playing double standards; PF almost downed the UPND helicopter in Shiwang’andu and Edgar was quiet, PF almost killed a UPND cadre at the Mongu airport, Edgar remained mute, they hacked people that were going to attend a UPND rally in mtendere, we didn’t hear a word from him and many more violent incidents perpetrated by PF, the person who is coming out strong is Guy Scott and not Edgar in condemning the violence. They are just suspecting UPND to have burnt the boat but without proof but he stands at the podium to sternly warn UPND of retaliation. This is not leadership….he is indirectly telling cadres to avenge. Sad
EL is not presidential material. If he wins Zambia will have another AWOL president in succession. As a matter of fact EL will be a puppet of RB and Dora. Tribalism will continue except this time it will be the easterners benefiting – wako ni wako.
The culture of human trafficking. I mean culture of importing, transporting supporters. Scott spoke about it!!
“PF has both the numbers and physic to defeat it in a physical fight it is provoking his party to engage in”. Such a statement coming from the potential president, this is sad.
This drunkard is silly, what numbers does he have?he thinks if war breaks out there will be anything like numbers,in fact the more numbers the more they die,a grenade thrown at his numbers will kill more.His stupid dirty ass cadres are daily hacking innocent people in the eyes of police but he keeps his kachasu smelly mouth shut. I dont vote but am coming to lusaka intercity specifically with a UPND T-shirt and my pistol is some smelly ass cadre dare come near me will blow his leg off in the eyes of the very police. you asholes wanna bring it? Bring it.
In as much as I lyk hon.lungu,i think he missed it on this 1,associatin wit RB?i wud advise him to b very careful RB aka shrek,he is known 4 coups ka,jus ask magande and nevas mumba.
Tell that chap that he shud stop layin to us O. I waz in Mkushi , and can tell,or share with you what waz their. Do even have pics , and lot of them with me.
So iwe blago, you are just saying from without.
And this person from Mkushi, is just CHI TONGA MAN. Foolish man. Go with your Chi Tonga party- chi UPND, Chi ngombe eilleda. Dont even know spell it
imwe bamambala muona monga mukashoka boat ninshi mwawina. what if we cut that dirt hand.boat shokeka tika tutimba mulilila ati no panga.you dirt minded chaps.
