The Patriotic Front is to commence disciplinary proceedings against its Chongwe Member of Parliament Sylvia Masebo and former Southern Province Minister Daniel Munkombwe.
The two senior PF officials openly endorsed and campaigned for the opposition UPND during the just ended Presidential election.
PF Secretary General Davies Chama has told ZNBC News in an interview that the PF Members defied the party’s rules – an act that clearly shows that they wanted the PF to be tossed out of power.
Mr. Chama said that the senior Party officials should have opted to resign from the PF on moral grounds than openly defy the party’s principles by campaigning for the opposition UPND.
PF Kasama Central Member of Parliament Geoffrey Mwamba had also endorsed and campaigned for UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema.
On Monday 26th January, 2015, President Edgar Lungu warned that he will not tolerate indiscipline in the party especially from senior party officials.
You fellows are hypocrites. What about those from other parties who supported you, did they do it on immoral grounds by not resigning, say from MMD?
They are not hypocrites by Chimbwis no plan.
Why even bother with disciplining mental patients? Just have them committed to Chainama. Especially Masebo, she is very unstable.
Why cant you Understand, each party has its own principles, If MMD allows its members,
PF has nothing to do with it,
Or u wanted PF to also panish MMD memebers for supporting them?, i dont understand your logical,
you need a rest so you dont compare two things not compatible,
THey should infact be removed from PF especially Masebo, she cant share the same cup with a person she accused of being sick.
Just fire them. No need to get into arguments. Fire them and do not hold elections for 9 months till new constitution is done and new culture of governance is seen and appreciated by all, including opposition party’s supporters.
MMD members switched their support based on the NEC resolution dully passed. But PF Central Committee the highest decision making organ of the party never passed such a resolution. As a result, PF is justified to decide on disciplinary action against its dissidends in the rank and file.
@ ulemu
You cant make comparisons like that. what if the MMD constitutions allows for such behaviour, would you still call it hypocrisy?
Discipline Father Bwalya.
@1 THE ONES WHO SUPPORTED PF WILL BE DISCIPLINED BY THEIR OWN PARTIES AND NOT PF. TAUTONTONKANYA?
IT IS UP TO THOSE PARTIES TO DEAL WITH THEIR ERRING MEMBERS.
What is this ETHIC cleansing this Davies Chama promoting? Edgar Lungu need to fire that Chama, where did he even get him?
There others who would like post of Secretary General, for Example Emmanuel Mwamba.
That’s for MMD to deal with. PF deals with its turncoat. Each party deals with its problem members
Davis Chama is the worst Tribalist. Just because his members supported UPND. Why did PF accept support from MMD if they deem it to be wrong. Chamachakomboka please be realistic.
Zambia needs civil war like in Rwanda so that there can be tribal respect.
YOU ARE SUCH AN ***** WENA… BO UPND AND ZWD CRONIES YOU ARE SO EVIL.
NO BLOOD SHED WARRANTS UNITY…UPTO TODAY THE GREAT LAKES REGION IS STILL AT WAR.
ANYWAY IT IS NO SECRET THATS WHAT ZWD WANTS FOR ZAMBIA. BUT IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. YOU SATANISTS WILL NEVER BE VICTORIOUS OVER ZAMBIA
You think this is a film?
@2, You and your dreams must be a disillusioned troll. You are better off jumping in the Zambezi River with your bitterness. Zambia for Jesus while devils incarnates like you are under the feet of united patriotic Zambians.
I can bet you the likes of @2 Ganja ar cowards are the kinds who have never served in any Defense and Security establishment in their lives. When the country called for men and women of valor to service, such trolled where never closer to the challenges. Yet they are the loudest calling for mayhem with their protruding ignorance.
How about those you supported you, from MMD ? Without them you would have gotten nothing, just shut up Davis. And enjoy your new position

They also be punished by their parties!
@john kabengele, with your level of IQ you may need help to use velcro. Are you a retard or what? Can someone send this chap on a ‘thinking skills’ programme.
Edgar said that “for ordinary MP’s” he would not react, but for a member of the central committee or minister who has taken oath”that is something different
@Ganja farmer, you are such a nincompoop beans. In your crooked mind you think war is anything fun? I rebuke your sentiments in the name of Jehovah God.
I meant (you are such a nincompoop bwana.
# ganja you are useless think twice before you write you are a nincompoop, you don’t kno what wish you think it’s joke ask Rwandese when it started I was there, don’t you dear my brother not a good site to see
Those insulting me for advocating for civil must now consider other tribes as equal partners.
@Ganga Farmer
You see PF are cowards always hiding behind the police and army. The day people will rise up and say enough is enough, all PF minions will hide in holes in fear of the masses.
Successful revolutions were not started by and seen through trained army officers like the cowards we have in Zimbabwe and Zambia today.
Look at Museven and Kagame, they are just ordinary people who said enough of being marginalised and took up arms and defeated f00lish tribes who thought only them could rule and oppress others.
Just go hang! Come out in public with your real name and say this sh it and you wont live
@ganja farmer & wanzelu, you two need to be fished out and have your stinky @sses whipped. You are such irritants and careless talkers. Be warned!
@ ganja farmer
Well, no need to look twice at your name.
I only wish closed minds like yours came with closed mouths too.
God! that would be something! Woudn’t it?
@ganja you’re an empty tin!!you’re a lunatic who only deserve to be at chainama!!dont you know that its dull HH who is promoting tribalism in Zambia?replace him with a non tonga leader and UPND shall win the presidency!!civil war is not a joke you dull chap!!votes from 3 provinces wont win HH the presidency-never!!!
Lungu” Some campaigners stooped low to appeal to tribalism and violence”
“I urge all our party members and supporters across our country to remain calm and peaceful for the good of Zambia.
I thank you all.”
May God Bless the Republic of Zambia. May God bless you all.
Hakainde Hichilema
UPND President
Why are people so dull,HH also got more votes than Lungu in Central province
HICHILEMA, Hakainde UPND 68,074
Edgar LUNGU PF 53,462
It says something about the marginalization that people from these regions have suffered under pf.
OPEN YOUR EYES!
@eddy
Half of the voters went with HH with the other half going with EL having given him a 27 000 edge for Presidency.
And in your small mind, half of Zambia’s population are tribal for exercising their democratic right?
In North Western Rhodesia, 45 tribes voted for UPND and of course many thousands in Lusaka, Copperbelt also voted for HH. By the way even Northerners did cast votes for HH. Do these Zambians deserve your insults?
@eddy
Whether you insult Ganja farmer or not, a civil war is inevitable in Zambia if PF carries on intimidating people who support the opposition parties without Lungu intervening.
Zambia shall be partitioned one day.
Right now thank the Tongas that they have not yet resolved to follow that route. The day the Tongas will say enough is enough and lets go it alone, then it shall be done with in a month or two.
Keep on getting on their nerves and see what a huge force to recon with they can really be.
During the wars of Mfekane, the Ngonis, and the Lozis found the Tongas were they are today and left them alone for a reason.
So far no one is sure when the Tongas got into the Southern, and the Central regions of Zambia.
So be careful not to insult the Tongas beyond what…
Shame on PF MMD members campaigned for you openly including RB who wanted stand too pls your MPs on moral ground.
Pf Secretary Davies Chama is right.The three big fools should be even expelled from the party.The master tribalist old without sense munkhombwe,the man with anaconda snakes in his stomach,impotent gbm & Hiv postive prostitute masebo should be dealt with maximum action.Their bevahior wad that of mad dogs that bark from nothing.Let them be employed by the depressed hh.HH should know that those who endorsed him just chewed his money.shame
Kafwaya must be put on discipline and all those who turned against Nervas Mumba must asked to resign so that we can have fresh by-elections.
IT IS UP TO NEVERS TO DISCIPLINE MMD MEMBERS. BUT DOES NEVERS HAVE THE BACKING OF THE MAJORITY OF MEMBERS IN HIS PARTY? I DONT THINK SO.
lol.. You gat love Zambian’s. God has given them Brains, Eyes and Ears but they never use them. Parents sent us to school but don’t want to hear our advice. Well, good luck in the next 12 Months. Only way government will have money is to print more. Debts won’t be paid and vultures will come through. Take an example of what is happening with Argentina. Nawakwi knows about Vultures but no one wants to look beyond her husband snatching YET over looking stealing from a Client by a trusted lawyer. GOD BE WITH YOU.
Look what mumbo jumbo is this? What are you trying to get across?
Even if the opposition came into power they will be limited as to what to do to make the economy work better.
As it is we are completing developments set out in 2011 and that is the cause of the debts.
why not print more ,they are printing here in uk and calling it quantitative Easing.
The three characters were involved in gross indiscipline. Just expel the lot from PF summarily. Don’t waste time on exculpatory procedures. They are guilty as charged!
Concur. The image of the party stands to be damaged further if they keep marinating this situation. Just summary dismissal is good to go!
THIS IS HYPOCRISY. SO IN THE SAME VAIN UPND SHUD DECIPLINE ITS SOLWEZI MP FOR ACCEPTING A MINISTERIAL POST FROM PF.
PEOPLE ARE SOME OF US RETARDS OR WHAT. WE KEEP ON SAYING THAT IT IS UP TO THE RESPECTIVE PARTIES TO DESCIPLINE ERRORING MEMBERS. PF HAVE DECIDED TO DO IT AND IT IS UP TO THE OTHER PARTIES TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE PARTIES.
There was far more involved than supporting other Parties.
It was the failure to support court injunctions and taking alternative actions to push the party out of power. It’s not like the other cross party supporters to PF.
Masebo was also openly insulting in the media to His Exvellency, there can be NO Room for her.
GBM is a st.pid fo.ol. He is an obese mess and does not seem to be strong in mind.
Some of these politicians change sides as many times a Rubik’s cube has permutations!
How can this system of multi-party changes be allowed.
The political system in Zambia is geared to keeping the same politicians in around the power base so they keep their large jar hands in the cookie jar!
The Honourable title must be understood by Zambian Politicians. You are expected to BE Honourable. Resign from your party position and let your seat be re-contested or better let all MPs also have a running mate in case they decide to dishonour their party and colleagues by supporting opposition. Why would you be in a party you cannot support.
Just fire the three… GBM, Masebo and Munkombwe. They are a bunch of useless cadres.
Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.
Some of the cowardly foools advocating for conflict in Zambia keep this sh it in their pants until they come to Lusaka Times. They think this is the shhitting place for what they can’t do in public. Please ba Red Brick do what the CIA does to prevent terrorism in America. Trace this Ganja fellow before he causes harm to Zambia. That’s what we pay our taxes for: peace
Don’t even waste time. Just tell them: GBM, Masebo, Munkombwe, you are fired!!!!!!!!!!
THE ORGANIZATION WAHTS TO KNOW WHY MANGANI WHO CLAIMS TO BE A PF MEMEBR BUT CAMPAIGNED FOR UPND IS NOT LISTED FOR DESCIPLINARY ACTION.
DISCIPLINARY ACTION??????
THAT IS ACTUALLY WASTED SPACE AND TIME.
THESE PEOPLE FIRED THEMSELVES OPENLY.
JUST CONFIRM THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER PF MEMBERS FOR THE SAKE OF POSTERITY AND TO WAKE THEM UP FROM THEIR DEEP SLUMBER!!!
BA CHAMA, PLEASE.
ACTUALLY, SYLVIA MASEBO IS A MEMBER OF THE RAINBOW PARTY, CAN ANY ONE INCLUDING HERSELF DISPUTE THIS?
masebo must follow the husband kabimba.
But you are using MPs from other parties as Ministries, foolish man
And it has began.
