Patriotic Front National Youth Chairman Chishimba Kambwili has accused Rainbow Party President Wynter Kabimba of knowing something about late President Michael Sata’s death.

Mr Kambwili has told a media briefing at Parliament buildings this afternoon that Kabimba sidelined PF founding members and was positioning himself for the party Presidency when Mr. Sata became sick.

He said that Mr. Kabimba must have known something about Mr. Sata’s health because of his alleged sinister movements when he was still PF Secretary General.

Mr Kambwili said that the PF knows a lot of things about the former PF Secretary General and that he should not push the party into disclosing them.

He added that Mr.Kabimba should be the last person to condemn President Edgar Lungu when he appoints people outside the PF because even the late President Michael Sata did the same.

Meanwhile, Sunday Chanda described Rainbow President Wynter Kabimba as finished goods. In a statement released to the media, Mr Chanda Kabimba said that Mr Kabimba had no moral right to talk about matters within the PF because he was the chief architect of the confusion that followed the demise of President Michael Sata.

Zambians recall how Kabimba was unceremoniously fired as Secretary General of the PF and Minister of Justice. Mr Chanda further accused Mr Kabimba of stabbing the late President Sata in the back by forming parallel structures, the highest betrayal of confidence and trust.

“PF has come to terms with the fact that Kabimba is done and dusted, he is damaged goods,” said Mr Chanda.

Mr Chanda said that PF must build new alliances and it is cheap propaganda for anyone to create an impression that appointing Ministers from the Opposition has started with President Lungu.

Mr Chanda further added the following: ” Late Presidents Mwanawasa and Sata did it and only political damaged goods would have issues when President Lungu does the same. It is a fact that former President Rupiah Banda campaigned for President Lungu and PF even after Kabimba and his loyalists within PF remained determined to suffocate PF’s victory on 20th January 2015. Kabimba seems to have issues with President Lungu appointing new comers to positions in Government but Zambians know that he was not a founder member of the PF but was appointed Secretary General. If President Sata meant so much to Kabimba, he would not have shunned paying his last respects to a man he called his political father. Kabimba cannot therefore have the morality to call out the ‘men’ in PF to rebel against President Lungu when it’s a fact that himself is a political male and not a political man. Had he been a man, he would have not betrayed President Sata’s trust, resulting in his unceremonious firing.”

” Under President Lungu’s leadership, PF is re-grouping, re-organizing and re-launching. PF, under President Lungu is dealing with the collateral damage left behind by Kabimba. PF under President Lungu is celebrating the life of Comrade Michael Chilufya Sata who left us last year to join our ancestors after immense contribution to a country he loved so much. PF’s critics must prepare for a rude awakening as the Party becomes a stronger people’s movement and will govern Zambia for many years to come and deliver the poor from poverty.”

    • yes they all knew and one by one they are admitting but zambians let them get away with it after cheating us that president sata was fit and working hard in state house. why do we let these imimbulu go free when we all know they are nothing more than cheats. ine mulampapusha mwebena zambia. Kwaliba abantu ababelelafye ukubepwa nokubanyela sure? Grow some phat b.all.s zambians please!!! no one should take advantage of us and lie to us.

    • He might have been. Is it a crime to be ambitious.
      If anytjing Mr sata should have stepped down.

      In the hierarchy Kabimba was the next in line putting in context where they had come from with Mr sata.

      Thanks

    • No but he was stubbed by wynter Kabimba and the cartel cause they wanted to take over……Cartel members are Guy Scott, Summer, Fred and the whole list you know it.

    • Mr Kambwili

      Lies have short legs! We’ve always said that, PF are hypocrites & pathological liars. Let us remind Kambwili & all gullible PF cadres that, everyone in PF refused to accept that Mr. Sata was sick. Citizens where even threatened with arrests.

      Kambwili you’re one of them who were sneering for the PF presidency when you saw that Sata was dying & today you want to cheat!
      Katema,Mukanga, Sichinga, Mulenga Sata, Mrs Kaseba Sata among others all said Sata was “fit,healthy & working at state house”. Only Chikwanda nailed it that “Sata is an absent landlord”.

      PF convention where Lungu was elected by lifting of hands, you all wanted to be PF president. Denials Kambwili & PF!

      The Skeleton Key

      Boza Kambwili uuh! Uleke Boza! Uzaleka liti…

    • The pot calling the kettle black. Mr. Kambwili, Sunday Chanda and your lot, you are all traitors! Stop telling us rubbish.

    • Kambwili put your mouth and your neck to improve your Ministry not for Witch Hunting. We are tired of that kind of BS!

    • There were millions of you in PF, who were positioning yourselves for the party presidency, when His Excellence, the late president Sata got sick. It wasn’t just Kabimba. You just didn’t like him. But now you will face him. Be prepared for the tussle!

    • Kabimba and Hakainde Hichilema are President and Vice President respectively will be a lethal combination. GBM can be defence minister, Maureen child care, Mutati external affairs, pandey finance affairs, Nchito legal affairs minister. A lethal combination for Zambians to troop to south africa and zimbabwe for livelihood.

  1. You are no longer in oppostion PF.When are you going to be mature.Yours is to look at the unemplyment as you promised more jobs to the youths.When the exchange rate was at K4.8 per dollar your called our money toilet paper now that its above K6 what name can we give our money?
    You promised lower taxes,more money in peoples pockets and reduced meal meal prices this is what you can defend boss not this nonsese Kambwili.
    Unless you tell the nation that you have nothing to tell us then better to remain quite sir.

    • To add on, the events leading up to the death of Mr. Sata(RIP), he allegedly seemed to be incapacitated & it was Kabimba’s to over as third in line b’coz Dr Guy Scott was disadvantaged by the parentage shambolic clause.
      Surely led by Chikwanda & Lungu, they all with Kambwili banged up on Winter Kabimba. The King cobra could no longer make it, hence Kabimba was apparently “fired” to make a leeway for the self confessed “visionless” Lungu.

      Everyone saw how Lungu was “anointed” by PF cadres lifting hands.

      Kambwili is running away from the Kwacha & economy.

      It was a visionless move by Lungu to putting the microphone in Mr Kambwili mouth (Information Ministry).

      PF wants people to shift the attention to yapping & not the collapsing economy.
      The Skeleton…

    • Kambwili is a mouthpiece that utters irrelevant things. What he is doing is accusing Kabimba. Kambwili mulaki! He is telling us that he did not know about Sata’s illness? Sata was not poisoned or murdered. He was ill. Now Kambwili is insinuating something else by saying that Kabimba knew something about Sata’s death.
      Kambwili concentrate on your job. It doesn’t mean that because you are Minister of Information you utter statements that do not add up to anything!

    • @professional you don’t seem to know what you are saying! Kambwili knows very well why he says winter knew something… Sometimes remain watching to learn instead of over crowding this page with MA irrelevants.. Kambwili is back if winter disputes… Keep watching.

  2. Tell us: when did Sata actually fall sick; is it when he went for review or when he was in the US, or lobg before that, like two years back? Now you are talking! Just that we are so docile in Zambia that we cannot hold any government officials lying to us.

    • Now just how reassuring to the nation would it be if our leaders responded so swiftly to matters of the economy, governance and poverty alleviation.

      Imagine the minister of information and chief govt spokesperson holding a press conference on the morning the Kwacha hit 7.00 to the US dollar, and telling the nation that “as govt we have just had a meeting and this is how we have resolved to halt the currency’s slide”.

      Now that would be something.

  3. Without getting into details, Mr. Lungu shall ignore barking dogs and concentrate on his political agenda. Rainbow and UPND are no threat to PF. Threat lies within and Mr. Lungu shall purge the traitors and indisciplined kaponyas from within the party. Strong image and decisive actions will bring him more and more votes from all provinces he won.

    • Nino

      Obviously you’re unhappy & trying so hard to make yourself feel better.

      UPND & Rainbow trout are making PF to have sleepless nights. Its all clear out for everyone to notice that PF seems like the ones in opposition.
      The PF of Mr. Sata is long gone, RB is now in control & here I agree with Kabimba that, “Sata must be turning 10 times” maybe even vigorously.
      Honestly I once liked PF b’coz MMD lost the plot & took people for granted after their 20 year old tenure. People wanted change is 2011 just like we kicked out KK the dictator of 27 years in 1991. But confusion, hypocrisy, lies, violence & violations of human rights made my morals & principles to discard them.

      Its now PFMMD party! RB not good mambala.

  4. Boss, Mulenga Sata (Hon) told us that the old man died of natural causes…. what are you now insinuating? . Of course Wynter is your opponent and you have the right hammer him, but is it possible to take him on using a much more rational counter response?

    • Kambwili is a coward, he has already Wynter killed Sata without elaborating. Let him be man enough to say those things he says he knows about Wynter. No need to hide, he has already taken the cat out of the bag. Wynter take this guy for cleaners so he can start keeping his mouth shut. Wynter these guys feared you and we can see from their behaviour when they were fighting for positions. We know Sata did not fire Kabimba. Sata was arm twisted by Chikwanda and the gang to get ride of Kabimba so they could loot the way they wished after Sata using visionless 2015 (Lungu).

  5. IF YOUR KABWAMBA TAKEMA AND YOU KNOW THAT U ARENT A PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL ,WALEIBEPA ATI CAN BE A PRESIDENT IN THE NECK KINGDOM KULABWATABWATAFYE.
    WHO IS THE MONKEY SATA TOLD OFF THAT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE PLANNING IS IT NOT THIS WARTHOG OF KAMBWILI.

    BABA SUMINENIFYE ATI RB EKATEKA WENU WETHA U SPEAK FRENCH OR SWAHILI BOTTOM LINE IS RB IS RULING YOU PERIOD

    • Solid

      The economy & Kwacha are plummeting! The poverty levels are alarming & Zambia on the Failed State Index trends, shows the poverty & suffering rates at 86%, according to 2014 report.
      In 2 months whilst Edgar Lungu is president, the Kwacha has consistently been losing value. Worse off, ever since PF took over the reigns of power from MMD, worst performance.

      Cadres will continue ululating that “if into knee Lungu” but ask them how “if into” will transform the economy of the country to paradise. All the ever say is “car e lee if into knee Lungu, bonsay(gullible ones) ba lay fwa yah fye Loon goo” is shocking.

      The economy & Kwacha soon will be invalid! Bantu izabanyokola njala nakufa. Death yanjala iliko brutal.

  6. There were scores of you who were jostling for the same position in PF. Kabimba only happened to have been the odd one out – an out layer.

  7. For Kambwili I understand when he talks that commandingly on PF matters, although even he himself was positioning himself for the presidency even before Sata died. Late President Sata himself revealed that Kambwili was campaigning on the Copperbelt. Coming to Sunday Chanda, surely nangu uli chipuba, sometimes have some shame, when did Sunday join PF becoz for all I know he stood as MP on MMD ticket in 2011, and after the failure formed a kama organisation and initially supported Sata, hoping for a job. After it was not offered to him he became a harsh critic of the President and even campaigned for GBM to join UPND. When he realised Sata’s health was failing he abandoned his ka NGO and started licking EL. Remember his opportunistic presence during Lungu’s draft constitution release!

  8. I have a prophecy.

    2016. And it shall come to pass.

    Either UPND or Rainbow will form Government.

    Both HH and Kabimba are of NWR and to be specific Bantu-botatwe.

    Wynter was hounded out of PF by those who hate NWR. But we thank God for Membe for supporting Kabimba and daily decampaigning PF.

    PF is also digging its pit by failing to run the economy apart from daily stealing.

    Viva HH-Kabimba. I urge you to unite. Kabimba President and HH remains as chief financier.

    • @professional you don’t seem to know what you are saying! Kambwili knows very well why he says winter knew something… Sometimes remain watching to learn instead of over crowding this page with MA irrelevants.. Kambwili is back if winter disputes… Keep watching.

    • Keep dreaming. Both HH and Kabimba want the presidency at all costs. HH will never agree to be the vice president to any body in Zambia. Can you imagine HH wanted MCS to be his vice president yet the situation on the ground was that between the two, MCS was more popular.

  9. Hon Kambwili why do you not consult before opening your mouth? than becoming a laughing stock, MUMPU WELWA. Kabimba was a victim of your group. its you who knew about Sata’s death with your friend WILLIE NSANDA, By the way where is WILLIE NSANDA? YOU WILL REAP WHAT YOU SAW. KABIMBA AND HIS RAINBOW PARTY THERE ARE COMING TO REMOVE YOU WITH YOUR VISION-LESS LEADER BE PREPARED.

  10. VOTE FOR KABIMBA AND HIS RAINBOW PARTY 2016, NIPA RAINBOW PARTY CABE.

    PF YOUR TIME IS OVER TO MUCH CORRUPTION,THEFT OF PUBLIC FUNDS.

    GUY,CHENDA,KAPEYA,SAMPA,KAZABU,WILOMBE COME AND JOIN RAINBOW PARTY

  11. This fat minister even attacked ECL before he was appointed and now he is changing colours like a chameleon.Leave Kabimba alone and deal with your own issues

  12. Kwena kuti weseka
    Ati ba Kabimba nabo niba presidential material
    Mwaliba bitter pantu project yenu yalifauka. Na Mmembe knows at kwena yalifauka.
    EL is regrouping, reforming and strategizing PF.
    Already VJ is shifting to PF, Magande is shifting to PF, Garry Nkombo has met with PF intelligence about defecting. Nikambe lini zambiri. Ndyonko chabe.
    Please 2016 come fast if not early. Kabimba and HH to be finally told
    Zambia shall never be ruled by these two clowns. Rainbow party cannot even participate in April parliamentary elections. UPND will test to see if they still have the tempo Ichimwela. But they find out that it has evaporated. Gone GONE and Gone.

    • @ JL

      Something for non-com like you to think about:

      “We further note with concern President Edgar Lungu’s lukewarm response to the rising political violence and the death of Mr. Matapa in particular. President Lungu during his inauguration in January affirmed that he will be a president for all Zambians. Yet when a practical occasion emerged to reassert his claim, he clearly took a partisan position. Further, the Zambia Police Service committed grievous omissions and commissions in the death of Grazier Matapa. The police failed Matapa and the people of the Republic of Zambia by acting unprofessionally. Matapa had reported the matter to the police to the effect that his life was in danger.

    • Therefore, Grazier Matapa in effect died under their watch. The police should have exhibited remorse. The failure to act in accordance with their constitutionally bestowed mandate is therefore an act of gross negligence and should therefore attract appropriate sanctions to whoever failed to act on the report. We condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the failure by police to attend to Mr. Matapa’s complaint. The lack of due diligence exhibited by Zambia Police Service in this matter is alarming.

    • Inspired by Divine Law, the Ten Commandments exhorts: “Though shalt not kill”. The JCTR is abhorred by government’s response to the horrifying murder of Mr Matapa. Further, we feel aggrieved with police’s general conduct prior to, during and after the death of a harmless citizen of the Republic. By teargasing the funeral procession the police acted dastardly, shamefully, dishonorably and senselessly.
      Matapa’s blood is crying out for justice. We cannot help but end with a quote from Genesis narrating God’s anguish when humanity experienced the first murder of Abel by Cain his brother;

    • “And the LORD said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to me from the ground.And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.” (Genesis 4:10).”

      Now, you parasite, give answer to all Zambians which see you for what you are, traitors of the humanity!!!

  14. Sande chanda just shut up . you are the people bringing enmity between parties . tu informer twamulomo . we know you . you earn a leaving through that .con man . God will punish you .you are a snake in a goats skin . God is watching . i we Kambwli shut your big mouth . you have failed to develop your constituency Steve chungu has done a lot . in fact he is the one who should have been appointed minister not you jere boy . you talk bad things about Hon chungu . but you forget that you used to sleep in drainages when you used to steal copper and cables . ask kitwe magistrate court your cases are still pending .if you continue with your big mouth we shall expose you to the fullest . crooked mined minister .

  15. when was Sata sick? That man just collapsed due to failure to govern the nation. we may just get another shock soon

    • By the time Sata was winning the 2011 elections he was already sick.There are lessons to learn from that.Please future Zambian leaders if you know that you are sick do not even contest the elections though am mindful of the fact that death can strike any one at any time.But fimbi fintu fileshibikwa kukumonafye na menso.

    • @kabimba @22
      You are really Prophetic! You posted this bog on 05/08/2016 and 3 days later Lungu unceremoniously collapsed on 08/03/2016 at Heroes Stadium while commemorating women’s day.

  16. Ba Kambwili you are an Hon MP & Minister of Information & ….other bits. You also stood for Presidency. You have also done a lot for PF & your constituency. Noble & just. I am pro PF but my concern is why are you still bringing in the late President MCS into today issues when we all know that his illness was the worst managed crisis communication that PF ever handled. You say you know a lot about Rainbow President but what makes you think he doesn’t know a lot about PF. Let sleeping dogs lie, you are in power & have the upper hand. You give WK attention he doesn’t deserve by responding to him. Kabimba is not a factor in the PF equation so please ignore him. That’s why HE MCS fired him. Please don’t resuscitate Kabimba. You & us need a conversation about the…

  17. Rainbow and UPND will kick pf out in 2016 no way out for pf thieves. Lungu did not win at all pf crooks phished,stole,votes from HH. Pf and its pigs must go!

  18. Hon Kambwili
    I like you because you are straight forward in your dealings as a minister and you speak the truth you stand for the zambians .My advise is that as Goverment spokesperson please dont indulge in these small issues just leave them to your juniors to speak on your behalf .you are the mirror of zambia to the world.I love you God bless you.Thank you.

  19. Oh!! so Kambwili and his other PF minions didn’t know Sata was sick eehh, it was only Kabimba??….when it was clear to even a 6 year old that Sata was frighteningly ill even when that George Chella thing was busy hiding the facts only to the naive, beacuse even when he was dying in London, Chella was still still conforting those PF id!ots that MCS is well and will return soon….khikikiki…. ….Dead Wood in PF

  20. But Bantu Botatwe, you float the likes of HH, Munkombwe, VJ and Kabimba and you expect a Zambian vote. Have you run out candidates of the calibre and quality of Mazoka, Kebby Musokotwane, and even Nkumbula? then we shall vote for you.

  21. i v been just wondering and thinking why kabimba dd not attend micheal sata’s funeral, a man he called his father who knew him more than his biological father

  22. Kabimba will never be president; that is just an inarguable fact. Rainbow party may never even win any parliamentary election.

  23. I don’t understand why these ministers are wasting their time with people who really don’t matter! Why not address serious issues like the FOI bill and POA, instead of Kabimba that Kabimba this!

  24. I wonder why most of you are talking and debating Mr Sata’s sickness, a certain old lady on a wheel chair was passing then two boys started laughing at her. She stopped and said: ” it will never be possible for me to have legs again and walk like you, but it is very possible for you to lose your legs and become like me”. My fellow zambians, let’s put our houses in order some of you have terrible sicknesses than Mr. Sata had only God knows repent and ask God to forgive you for the end is near!

    • I will never cease to wonder the Zambian mentality on death. Anyone who crosses our path, any one we don’t like should die as if we ourselves have a secret understanding with God that we shall never die. When an MD of a parastatal company retired a lot of people those whom he retired wished him dead. 20 years down the line most of those people who wished him dead are dead but the former CEO is alive and kicking.

  25. I am bemba, and I proudly announce that I am voting for Kabimba in 2016. The reason is because this PF which I voted for in 2011 is a different PF from the one Sata founded. I and many Zambians thought we have put a final nail into Rupiahs coffin and were eagerly awaiting for him to bring back the money he stole from us, but alas there comes Edgar Lungu, manouvering to free the same criminal we rejected in 2011. I am voting Kabimba because PF is no longer PF but PF-MMD. I also wish to state that I will not vote for UPND because they are a regional party bent on sowing division in the country. I feel Kabimbas party is more national in character than UPND. I appeal to those who wish to see a better Zambia to join Kabimbas rainbow party

    • @ Just Watchin
      I appreciate the fact that you state your desire to vote for Kabimba because Rainbow is national in character according to you. You also say that UPND is a regional party. Herein lies the problem with you folks who are pretenders and love to cheat us about this tired mantra about UPND being a regional party. UPND may indeed be regional because you guys from Northern parts of Zambia have consistently refused to see sense in good leadership as long as the one standing is not your own or your ethnic cousin. It’s similar to a bitch crying about being raped by a client after changing the agreed charge already paid by the client midway through the act. I shudder at the type of reasoning which insists that UPND is regional when your people refuse to see sense. Give us a break!

    • @Warlord but I have just written that I am bemba but voting for Kabimba a bantubotatwe therefore I have seen true leadership in him. To be honest with you, I have not seen any leadership in Hakainde worth motivating me. In fact if you did not have a tribal mind you would have seen everything wrong in the manner southern province voted in 2016. Just imagine at one polling station HH getting over 3000 votes and Lungu 0. In fact if Bembas were tribal Nevers would have simply won the 2015 elections, but they instead voted for Lungu, an Easterner. Tell me if Southern province can vote like this if a Tonga is contesting against candidates from other tribes. Dont you see it wrong yourself that Lungu narrowly won elections even after winning in 6 and half provinces, while HH only won in 3 and half

  26. All those talking ill of RB are simply admitting that their hopes of being in power in 2016 are extinguished. RB is a big factor and infact is king marker. Without RB, UPND would have won. So the anal gassing we are seeing is just demonic envy and jealousy. If in 2015 RB, who you say is corrupt, made PF win power, what will stop EL win in 2016. Be sincere. HH lost an opportunity that will never come again. They will be no Scott, no GBM, no Masebo, no Munkombwe. Farmers will be paid at ZMK90/50Kg. All promised roads, schools, clinics, hospitals and police posts will be done. EL will have gained confidence of being President while others will continue trying. Resources available. RB, SikotaWina, Akashambatwa, Mwanawasa’s etc will be in EL’s camp. Tell me what will you do. HALUSA HAGAIN

  27. Mr Warlord.
    Easterners and Northerners have not embraced UPND not becaise HH is Tonga. Far from that.
    REASON
    HH IS NOT SALABLE, PRESIDENTIAL AND MARKETABLE PRODUCT
    SIMPLE.
    PUT MULYIOKELA AS UPND LEADER. UPND WOULD BE IN POWER NOW
