The opposition UPND President Hakainde Hichilema has challenged President Edgar Lungu to give a clear direction where he is taking the country.

Mr. Hichilema says it is clear in the minds of the people of Zambia that the Head of State seem to lack a proper direction in terms of policy direction.

Mr. Hichilema argues that things are becoming worse under the PF regime describing the six months he has been in office as a total disaster.

He has accused the ruling party of injuring many Zambians saying they are not interested in addressing challenges of the people.

The UPND Leader says it is for this reason he believes that President Lungu should address the nation and tell the people his plan in the remaining months before he is removed from office.

Mr. Hichilema says the only hope for Zambians is to remove the PF from power accusing them of abusing power.

And Political Analyst Dante Saunders has charged that the country is headed for serious challenges with the unplanned policies by the PF government.

Mr. Saunders notes that from the time the Patriotic front government ascended to power many things have continued to gone wrong.

Mr. Saunders cites that current budget deficit, the high prices of the basic commodities of life as some of the things that have gone wrong.

He says the PF should be serious and address the challenges that have gone wrong before they leave the government citing that they should not live he country in a mess for the next government to come and sought out their mess.

Mr. Saunder explains that 2016 is around the corner and hence the PF should begin to put things in order so that come elections, everything should be in place so that the next government be it the PF itself or the opposition start on a new page.

He has further urged the opposition to learn from the mistakes that the PF is making so that they don’t make the same mistakes when they get into government.

  1. IMF, World Bank and now even Hon.Chikwanda has confirmed it. The country is broke. HH has been very consistent on this. We need a new direction

    • True Mr. President.

      Nevertheless, well done for building the $80 million University HH, indeed Hakainde has a vision. All what PF knows best is confusion, corruption & violence. They don’t care about the economy & kwacha, only yapping & persecuting innocent citizens.

      Keep it up HH, presidential candidate for 2016.

      The Skeleton Key

    • There was a time I strongly believed we TONGAs will provide a president for Zambia. I strongly believed Ba Daniel Monkombwe when he said the time for Tongas to provide a president had come. I campaigned strongly for HH. On the voting day I mobilised my children and my entire clan to go and vote for our candidate. Alas, we lost for the 5TH TIME. I am now convinced we will never rule this country unless our candidate comes up with a different strategy. Mr President(HH) please tell us what to do next.

    • Unfortunately the whole world is very broke.

      BRITAIN USA GREECE JAPAN PORTUGAL SPAIN IRELAND ITALY a

      And many more are nations that are surviving borrowing from the PRIVATE SECTORS, IMF, WORLD BANK or from CHINA

    • A Country Without a Vision, “Has no Present” Nor the Future!!!. It is important that PF leadership and all Ministers understand the Concerns of Educated Zambians.

      We need development, but has to be planned and budgeted. Borrowing without thinking is Disaster for our Country and People of Zambia.

      I can not see any initiatives to cut costs. because all in Government want to steal. All Ministers use Motorcades. if we are serious in Improving Zambia?? that luxury should go..

      HH we are behind you on this one. Let these people get serious.

    • Its easy for him to see the mistakes but that is all bull from a Politician (Cheap talk) running a country is not just a one mans ideas. Don’t be fooled like Sata did by saying he was going to change everything in 90 days. Iam sure if he was a great visionary he could have been voted in. Politicians are just the same. Let him tell us what his vision is and how he will implement it.

    • Disaster can only be measured with OCCURRENCE, but with Edgar there is NOTHING what has happened, except arrest of Pilato.
      If my employ performs at same rate as Edgar in 6 months, I will rather resign as manager, because I would not even give such an employee 2 salaries.

    • HH is the man to restore Zambia ‘s financial credibility.

      PF minion have dismally failed after borrowing heavily and removing subsidies under the pretext of construction projects. But reality on the ground is that, they stole all the money and most projects have ground to a halt. The Robert Makasa and Mushindo universities will not be completed under the PF.

      PF has not paid even the Chinese contractors for their work and yet China lend money to Zambia to facilitate those projects. How bizzarre!

      Under PF leadership Zambia is doomed.

      Only HH and UPND can save our peaceful country from collapse.

  2. I support you on this, as for me the PF has failed to rule. Just look at the accumulated huge debt in just few years of power.

    • And you are forgetting the infrastructure development taking place. Do you think it is coming from moon or trees? think b4 you yap.

  3. Mr Lungu is still having review for more than 7 days. How on earth can you go see doctor for review for such a period. Review takes place in one day where doctor explains whether you are ok to go or not. For mr Lungu it looks like he was told to take rest and injected him some morfin

  4. We have peace and stability?
    Zambia is recognised in the AU, and Zimbabwe
    The Chinese adore us
    Mining companies admire our taxation policies
    University students have extended holidays
    Debt is testimony to the LENDERS’ CONFIDENCE IN THE PF GOVERNMENT!
    QED

  5. Icilema, hear this; the presidency of Zambia will always elude you and your party of pastoralists, period. No manner of antics will endear and your lot to the majority of that country’s majority voters.

    • @5 Chitutuma. I am from Eastern Province. I will vote for HH, not because of his tribe, but because I love Zambia. EL is taking us nowhere but into a ditch. RB, the co-president, is a shameless selfish man who is only concerned with feeding his stomach. EL has followed suit. Time for a new mindset and direction for this country!

    • @Chitutuma: What does it profit you to always insult your fellow countrymen/women? Hate speech is punishable. It has caused genocide in some countries. Please be sane and debate issues not persons.

    • @chitutuma,learn to respect others. We are in a knowledge economy so those that refer to others as “Ba kachema” to mean certain ethnic groups with a pastoral tradition should know that things have moved on! People are educated and skilled in doing things in many modern spheres of life. So it is also an outdated phrase to refer to people from Luapula as “Ba Tubuluu” since people have moved further to get educated and acquire skills beyond fishing. Here what we need are clear arguments of what can work and what is not working! PF have certain good things to talk about despite their failures but they lack proper communication strategy and coordination between various managements teams and how to reach out to the public! They better get organised,the old messages will not save them in…

  6. what is happening to ECL is exactly what what was happening to Levy when he was just begining his presidency,but what happened after few years? am very convinced beyond resonable doubt ECL will perform better than any other president in zambia.its just that HHs time to rule this country is over thats why he is speaking with bitterness.whether HH likes or not ECL will finnish his two terms and zambia is going to record massive infrastructure development.No one knew ECL will be the president of zambia and only God knows why he has given us this man.if God has given us ECL then the same God will see us through this “difficult” period and the same people condemning him will be silenced.once again Hichilema will never rule this country never!! just forget bwana and concentrate on other…

    • Tutu @6. You say, rightly, that it is God who chooses leaders and then in the same breadth say HH will “NEVER rule” Zambia. How do you know? Are you God’s spokesman?
      You compare EL to Levy! Wow. EL cannot expect to perform well with RB in tow! We know what RB is capable of. The DPP issue has EL & RB written all over it. Time to pay will come. Secret borrowings of $192million for ‘security’ reasons. That is money to be stolen. Time to pay will come. I doubt if EL knows where he is taking this country. Like his ‘adviser’ RB, he will be kicked out before he plunges us off the cliff! No leadership qualities at all! Guy Scott was right.

    • Levy was a wise and principled man. Immediately he became president Levy distanced himself from the corrupt ailments within MMD. He also picked on a simple, honest and hard working man to head the ministry finance, a decision that helped stabilise our economy.

      Edgar is failing because he isn’t setting his priorities correctly. The party and his pockets come first then the rest second. He is forgetting its the poor Zambians who elevated him to what he is today. Surely why should Chama still serve as the SG of the ruling party when the f00l is on record of having insulted one Zambian tribe? E Lungu ought to be serious.

  7. We definitely need to change leadership…but the problem with Eric Chanda is that he seems to lose his bearings at times…so I guess we are stack with EL.

  8. Davis Chama was right. Tongas will one day lead this country. But this will be 100 years from now . The Central statistics office shows that for the Tongas to have enough numbers to provide a president , each man will have to marry three wives and have 8 Children in each one of them. This population will have to grow to a voting age of 18. If they reduce the voting age to 16, then Tongas will have a president in 2066.

    • I will have one by first sleeping with your mum, then yo sisters and finally yo graanie…bull#$@#$%^
      I hav just infected one of yo own with an uncurable illness sokwe

  9. I don’t think it’s fair to blame it squarely on Edgar Lungu. Zambia is in this mess because of Sata. Even our God Lord says in Ezekiel 18:20 that, “…. The son will not bear the punishment for the father’s iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son’s iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.…”

    Lungu is trying his best to correct some of the old man’s mistakes but it’s not easy. He is a captive of Sata’s crooked relatives who regard PF as their family katemba. If he cuts them off then he is finished. If he doesn’t continue borrowing to fund the projects started by Sata, from which they eat, again its a problem.

    HH will have a lot of work to do if he wins in 2016.

  10. There is nothing HH is talking about. All he is exhibiting is hatred and bitterness.And don’t think you will win in 2016 forget it.

    • Chewed u are very stupid so u cannot seen any sense in what HH is saying sure ..?be fair to yourself and rise above your tribalism n hate. Honestly can’t u see that currently we don’t have leadership u moron? Your president has no direction as…gud as a dead person n u are there praising. Shame on u…

    • @9 Chewe the (I don’t believe this) virgin.
      So you don’t believe what HH said? For one, HH said the size of the cabinet is too big and it is a waste of money. We have 72 people ruling over 14.5million. The USA has a population of 300 million. Obama’s cabinet is 16 in number, if you include the Vice President. Does this make sense to you? Which is the richer country between Zambia & USA?
      In Zambia each cabinet minister & deputy plus Prov Minister gets a 4 x 4 at K1.2million plus another car; Fuel allaowance of K5,000 per month etc. And you say that HH is saying nothing?
      Please wake up!

  11. I TOTALY AGREE THAT THINGS ARE BAD,BUT WAT I DONT AGREE IS HH BEIN THE SOLUTION.WEN LUMWANA MINE THREATENED TO PULL OUT KOZ OF MINERAL ROYALTY TAX,HH SIDED WITH LUMWANA.HH IS A SHAREHOLDER OF BOTH KALUMBILA AND ANGLO AMERICAN MINE AND HAS ALWAYS STOOD FOR THESE POWERFUL MINES.WHILE THE ORDINARY ZAMBAIN IS BEIN OVERTAXED AND EVEN TOLD TO START PAYING WITHHOLDING TAX ON RENT,MINES ARE PAYING PEANUTS KOZ FINANCE MINISTER CHIKWANDA HU IS OSO A GOOD FRIEND TO HH HAS GIVEN THEM GOOD TAX INCENTIVES.WHEN THE WHITES AT ZAMBEZI SUN HOTELS WANTED TO INTRODUCE SERVICE ALLOWANCES TO EMPLOYEES,THE ONE HU OPPOSED IS OUR OWN ZAMBIAN SHAREHOLDER HH,AND THE WHITES SAID ‘WELL IF A ZAMBIAN IS AGAINST I,HU ARE WE TO INTRODUCE”.HH REPRESENTS THE POWERFUL FOREIGN CORPORATIONS.

    • To increase royalty tax on the mines without consulting them was a big mistake. In the region only Zambia is attempting to tax mines out of business. Check with our neighboring countries_ how much tax the mines are paying. Try this same tact with business in Lusaka, increase tax by more than 100%. Unless we do the mining ourselves, whichw we can’t afford we won’t benefit alot. Diversification was/is key. Right now oil and mining industries are in bad shape.

  12. ECL is going to perform beyond peoples expectation even HH is very much aware of that.how can HH say 6 six months of ECL has been a disaster as if he was on the driving seat when the budget was being projected.in the space of 4years we have two presidents and the blame cannot entirely be on the last one who has just done few months no.
    ECL came to Zambezi North-western province and the speech he deliverd to people was very inspiring and progressive such that people were very positive that he meant well for the country.
    UPND without HH will be a better party and that’s when they will have an opportunity to rule zambia.
    HH has never inspired me in his way of politicking and thats the reason he headed for 5th DEFEAT!!

    • tutu, – You are an analyst at least above the upnd carders. You see…these hh followers have brains that they have never used but hh is the one using them. I do not know how hh supresses their thinking, but it is true they have no capacity to even ask hh a question on whatever he talks about. hh is a failure, lier, and an imposter. At university hh used to copy from his friends, this he has continued to do by coping all Sata’s tactics. hh is not even a theorist at the least. The guy is being used by the anglo-americans. He is a sponsored politician. That’s the reason for Moonga’s Kapita’s & many other peoples’ resignations. They know not their own weaknesses. They can’t even start campaigning despite knowing the elections are in few months, but just continue with insults scaring…

    • PF strategy has been simple. When the opposition debunk their lies and incompetence they jump on the hackneyed terms….tribalism, frustrated, bitter, angry, envious etc.

      But as the saying goes, you can fool some people some of the the time BUT you cant fool all people all of the time.

      PF, what have you done to the Exchange rate? High unemployment? High debt? High corruption?

      Insulting HH wont do….show us more money, low exchange rate, low inflation, low interest rates, lower taxes, high gdp

  13. The PF have been in power for 4yrs now. The PF have failed. The stupidity of saying Edgar Lungu cannot be blames is frankly ridiculous. Are these not the sane morons who were claiming that UPND could not finish the PF programmes? The PF budget? Now all the PF morons are blaming Sata because he is dead? Where is the drunkard today? He is in hospital because the fool is sick!!! In a space of 6 months; how many days has this drunk spent in the office working? It’s either he is on holiday or he is in hospital. What’s there to support? The PF have failed!!! The economy is colapsing!!! STOP SUPPORTING BLINDLY PF MORONS!!

    • No doubt PF is going out but if HH wins in 2016 the barden will be too much on him. PF will leave a rotten economy and Zambians will be left desperate by the end of 2016. The new government will be expected to get down to business and immediately reverse PFs mistakes. This will a big big challenge on HH.

  14. Ba LT why always call D.Saunders a Political Analyst? This useless man is not a political analyst he is a UPND cadre . My be you dont know what is involved to be called analyst. Am happy with Ruth Dante she is openly joined UPND than the father who is a coward just hide in the name of Analyst. Ruth she is a daughter to Dante Saunders and she is a Journalist by professional the similarities between the 2 is that they are all bitter

  15. OKAY BUTI LET US ACCEPT FACTS MY FELLOW ZAMBIANS. THE LAST SIX MONTHS HAVE TRULY BEEN A DISASTER.
    1) KWACHA VALUE
    2) DEFICIT
    3) PRICE OF MEALIE MEAL
    4) EDUCATION
    5) FUEL PRICES AND SHORTAGES
    6) FARMERS INPUTS
    7) CARELESS STATEMENTS BY LEADERS E.G CHAMA AND KAINGU
    8) DPP SAGA
    9 VASCO DA GAMMA TYPE OF PRESIDENCY TRIP AFTER TRIP
    10) MINING TAX INCONSISTENCIES!
    CHALLENGE ANYONE FROM THE PF TO CHALLENGE OR THESE BLUNDERS AND DEFEND THEMSELVES.

    • @loadist

      These are facts but PF will term us as bitter, tribalist and other scare tactic terms.

      PF rule has been an unmitigated disaster.

  16. Come next year ECL will win with a very big margin. The situation on the ground is that ECL is gaining significant support because people have seen that HH is just a liar. During the campaigns for the 2015 by-elections, where ever HH went, he promised to continue with the development projects that were started by MCS. In the short term other than borrowing where was HH going to get the money for the projects.

  17. Mwine Munzi & Tutu-you are very dull & backward in your gre matter-you are not seeing the size of cabinet in your diabolical corrupt PF,)ou are not seeing the hefty allowances given to these shameless devils,You are not seeing the wastages in presidential trips & ministerial trips both within & outside? You are not seeing induced parliament ally by-elections,You not seeing wastages on corrupting defectors,You are not seeing loans corruptly contracted & misapplied as well as be hidden…all these plus many other oversights if stopped can save the poor zambians! You are really very dull adults of the 21st centuary!

  18. HH is the best candidate to be President of the Republic of Zambia, I am Bemba and would urge Zambians to loo beyond Hichilema’s tribe and vote him into office next year otherwise the future for our motherland will continue to be bleak. Jameson Lungu does not deserve to hold any political office.

    • Thrash Metal,

      Why do you state that you are Bemba? If you are Zambian and politically you advertise yourself as Bemba or Tonga, you automatically become (stile) Invalid because you are being tribal. Zambians vote for political partys not for tribe. So mr “a Bemba” your advert is because just silly and stupid. Politically we are all Zambian voters, wishing to vote for a Zambian political party…It is PF, MMD, NARET, PDD, undp even Molongoti’s party which I don’t know the name.
      You guys you have killed UPND and created udnp What ever…

  19. hech hech and all of you blind supporters of this up and down -upnd, stop making noise please and let pf do the work. you hech hech you will never rule this country. you have failed to come to terms that lungu is president. you are so bitter in your heart but your bitterness shall earn you nothing except your misguided followers. come 2016 hukaivotela wemwine. o sory,this time you will votes from were they fool that you are popular with carbimba. chongo!!!!!!

  20. Zambia has too many dull people who cant even get sense from a simple statement and like that we have a long way to development.The people should realise that they have power more than president or ministers so why allow ourselves to suffer?????????????????

    • @ 23 Joe

      Indeed, a legacy of sickness under PF. This party needs to be hospitalized by admitting it to the ICU.

  21. Dear Fellow Zambians. We cannot just be changing Presidents for the sake of it. ECL will continue in 2016 for simple reasons.

    He took over a very bad situation when we needed to start repaying the Euro Bond Loans.

    He has tried to stabilise the economy ever since MCS died. He has united the country against all odds.

    ECL is doing very well on the international scene and Zambia is slowly regaining its position in the Region and the World.

    I can assure you my fellow citizens, unless there is a serious reason for change of leadership, Zambians should be very careful. Mulongoti is a bitter hired gun. Let us not take comedian Presidents like him seriously. Mulongoti has nothing to offfer rather than bucking like a rabbied Dog.

    Zambians will see sense in what I am propounding…

    • Too many corruption allegations, Pf is rotten, look at how they ignore corruption like the libala tennis courts, they are all theives hence thier reluctance to act incase their stealing is noticed.

    • @ Otega,

      Which position is Zambia regaining in the region and in the world? Zambia has never been a factor in the world. It is just another Third World Banana republic. Even in the Southern African region Zambia does not count any more – economically, politically, militarily, socially, etc.. Countries like Botswana, Namibia and Angola have overtaken Zambia. So which position is Zambia regaining?

    • Bravery should never compensate for incompetence. The loans this govt has acquired under the carpet is reason enough to get rid of PF. This govt is not truthful only when there is no other option. Remember Lungu didnt want to be president, you should ask yourself why he would risk his health for this country, considering the calibre of ministers in PF, integrity is above them. Tell me what they said about the budget and Sata’s health.

    • SO SENSE IN WHAT YOU ARE SAYING SIR,THE WIND OF CHANGE IS BLOWING ACROSS THE COUNTRY ESPECIALLY WITH A SICK PRESIDENT.

    • Ortega @ 23. Iam a Zambian. I have tried to see sense in what you are “propounding”, but have miserably failed.
      Just as you say, “he has tried to stabilise the economy”, but has miserably failed. He spends all his time flying out of the country like RB.
      He has united the country? While his SG is busy insulting some tribes?
      Please don’t deceive yourself. EL has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. Just like his co-president Ruphia, the Zambian people will have their say in 2016.
      Have you heard EL talk against corruption since he came into power? All we have seen is that he has been fighting those against corruption like the DPP. He is in bed with papa corruption while the economy sinks!
      That is all we can see.

    • @ 24.4 mbinji

      “…ESPECIALLY WITH A SICK PRESIDENT.” How aptly observed! We do well to take heed to your sentiment here.

  22. I am surprised that some people can still talk about PF being in office beyond 2016,don’t smoke before you write anything for public consumption.

    • Those who want PF post 2016 are the corrupt and thieves who cant do meaningful work but rely on government contracts, corruption at markets, bus stops and government agencies and offices.

  23. I cant see any point from tribal HH in his article.what is he really talking about?which direction?we all know that HH cannot appreciate anything done by PF or ECL since if does that its means he reduces his chances of entering state house.BUT SINCE WE ARE THE ONES WHO VOTE,WE’LL SEE WHO WILL WIN IN 2016!!FOR NOW HH AND HIS DREAMERS IN UPND CAN BOAST,BUT THE REALITY WILL BE KNOWN AFTER VOTING IN 2016!!PF HAS OUR VOTES WHILE HH ALSO HAS VOTES FROM BANTUSTAN!!THE MAJORITY WILL CARRY THE DAY-FULL STOP!!!

    • EDDY OR WHATEVER YOU CALL YOSELF YOU ARE LOST AND YOUR BITTERNESS OF HH WILL CAUSE YOU TO COMMIT SUICIDE.CANT YOU FEEL WHAT MAJORITY POOR ZAMBIANS ARE FEELING.THE WIND OF CHANGE IS BLOWING FAST ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND THE MAN OF THE MOMENT IS HH.WETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT HH IS WINNING THE 2016 POLLS BECAUSE SINGNS ARE EVERYWHERE UNLESS YOU DONT LIVE IN ZAMBIA.

  24. The tragedy of Zambia today is the reality that structural tribalism/regionalism has kicked in. As a result Zambia will always miss having good presidents because the electorate votes on tribal/regional lines. Anyway that is the choice Zambians have made as the country continues to sink into the quicksand of abject poverty and underdevelopment. How sad!

  25. I am getting impressed by some of the bloggers who deal with issues rather than personalities. It means we are growing up. Of course we still have people like chitutuma who are still in darkness but if the majority of us see the light surely he will be saved too. Issue based debates benefit all.check Mr Sosala s papers ….great to read yet he is neither PF or UPND and he doesn’t need to be

  26. HH claims he is an economist but I have never heard anything tangible coming from his mouth on economic issues. His cadres who have failed grade seven 8 times are even better than him.

    • Muzaza, kamwefu ….u morons political experience of lies z wat u want? The capacity to deliver in every level of society is vital amambala

  27. The political profile of HH is.
    1. Amassed massive wealth from privatization of public companies
    2. Acceded to UPND on tribal grounds frustrating the then vice president Sakwiba Sikota.
    3. Four successive losses as presidential candidates
    4. About to record a faith loss in 2016 and by the time election 2021 he will no longer be able to use his young age as a political advantage.
    5. If it was boxing he would have Zero wins, Zero draws and four losses, very unattractive track record for sponsors.

  28. HH another dreamer like kafupi kabimba,you claim to be rich ,which pipo have you assisted in zambia?open an offanage were you can take those pipo you are embarassing on socail media.
    imagine your mother was poor and paraded on social media like whta you are doing?come to your senses and stop parading pipo who are poor,help them if you are rich not the nonsense you have embarked on,campaign on real issues ,what an idi0t without brains.

  29. kachema musuma,what a f00l without brain what has our chief to do with HH?campaign in your area southern province dont bring bembas into your confusion.

  30. @Mbinji:note this i live in Lusaka and travel a lot.the wind of change in 2016 you’re talking about is only blowing in your bantustan homes or in southern and not where we live.WHEN LATE SATA WON IN 2011,IT WAS VERY CLEAR THAT PEOPLE WANTED CHANGE AND NOT TODAY!!majority voters today are appreciating PF’s works mostly roads,new hospitals,etc.NEVER EXPECT YOUR TRIBAL HH TO GET VOTES FROM LUAPULA,NORTHERN,MUCHINGA,ETC WHERE VILLAGERS TODAY HAVE TARRED ROADS PASSING THEIR VILLAGES FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE INDEPENDENCE!!TOWNSHIP ROADS ARE DONE TOO.SO WHAT WILL YOUR HH TELL THEM IN 2016?dont read M’membe’s Post and believe lies from Mulongoti,Mucheleka,Milupi,Kabimba,Nawakwi,etc.these are bitter politicians!!TODAY POST SALES HAVE DRASTICALLY REDUCED AS MAJORITY PF LOVERS DO NOT BUY IT!!!

  31. @Mbiji before 2011 The Post used to sale a lot up to october 2014.but after the death of Mr Sata,Fred M’membe took a wrong route.today you’ll find Post being sold even after 17hrs.ask any newspaper vendor,he’ll tell u that majority people do not buy post nowadays!!THEN IF YOU’RE OBJECTIVE ENOUGH,U’LL AGREE WITH ME THAT IN 2016 YOUR HH WILL WIN IN SOUTHERN,DO WELL IN WESTERN,N/WESTERN AND NON BEMBA SPEAKING AREAS OF CENTRAL.THEN PF WILL COME OUT FIRST IN LUSAKA,CB,LUAPULA,NORTHERN,MUCHINGA,EASTERN AND WIN IN ALMOST ALL BEMBA SPEAKING AREAS OF CENTRAL!!ALL IN ALL,PF WILL RETAIN POWER NEXT YEAR!!this is the fact and nothing will change this between now and 2016!!

    • EDDY DONT CHEAT UNINFORMED ZAMBIANS.YOU NEVER GAVE HH CHANCE BUT YOU WERE CHOKE BY HIS SPLDNT PERFORMANCE IN THE JUST ENDED BY ELECTION HENCE YOUR BITTERNESS FOR HH,THE WIND OF CHANGE IS BLOWING ACROSS ZAMBIA AND THE MAN OF THE MOMENT IS HH.WETHER YOU LIKE IT NOT HH IS IN STATE HOUSE AFTER THE 2016 POLLS,HIS WORK TO ACHIEVE THIS HAS BEEN MADE EASY BY CHAGWAS FAILURES EG,FAILURE TO UNITE ZAMBIA BY ALLOWING CHAMA TO CONTINUE MAKING DIVISIVE STATEMENTS AGAINTS CITIZENS,FAILURE TO IMPROVE THE ECONOMY,FAILURE TO TAKE CARE OF FARMERS,FAILUR TO TAKE CARE OF STUDENTS,FAILURE TO TAKE CARE OF WORKERS INTERESTS ETC THE LIST IS ENDLESS.

  32. Mr. Hichilema says it is clear in the minds of the people of Zambia that the Head of State seem to lack a proper direction in terms of policy direction.

    ….
    Which people ndiwe weka who sees everything bad in whatever ECL does! Just another bitter id10t! Resign and give others chance to stand, four times ungo luza kupusa!

  33. What frightens me most is the sudden unholy alliance of HH, his UPND with forces of evil spear-headed by Mmembe, Mahtani, Kabimba and Mutembo Nchito. This is the worst phenomenon we are witnessing after the January 2015 Presidential elections.

    • How come you are not frightened with leading members of PF intelligentsia: Chama, Kambwili, Sata, Chikwanda, Sampa…………

  34. Am neither Tonga nor Bemba in fact am mambwe but am dumbfounded on the levels of hatred and prejudice that exist in our country. Can someone please answer me why do people hate the Tongas so much(I have no idea)? What have they done or what is in the Tonga blood that makes them so bad( because it seems all have been given the same label)? Enlighten me as well maybe I might understand.

    • You want to understand ya? Well, just go to any government department headed by them, it won’t take you long to understand! Or simply read between the lines when thier Hypnotised Hyena is talking, his speeches are laced with bitterness.

    • @ 39 azin

      The rivalry has predominantly been between the Tongas and the Bembas, the two, supposedly largest tribes in Zambia. I see the value of tribal wars of ancient times. Those tribes that once fought have a tendency to like each other; those that never did so, to dislike or even hate each other. Bembas and Tongas never fought. It may be the reason they now tend to be at each other’s neck. I see no cure for this in the offing.

  35. HH give alternatives to the bad side of Lungu not just yapping like a person who has no brains. Thats why you are not presidential material in that you just do and say what ever your adviser William Banda tells you. Shame on you HH. Just retire to your farm.

    • IWEE YOU ARE NOT ZAMBIA TO DECIDE ON OUR BEHALF.THE WIND OF CHANGE IS BLOWING ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND THE MAN OF THE MOMENT IS HH.

  37. HH has a problem. While he has plenty of time on his hands he has failed to project a strategy or agenda as to how he would govern. It is like he is telling us “vote me in and I will tell you how I will govern”. No way HH. I had high opinion before until you started talking about free stuff for everyone. Do not promise to give people things. Have them go to school and “learn to earn” based on their own achievement. HH has to show a distinct attribute to lead fairly. I am beginning to think HH has stayed on as UNPD leader for too long. I f he had stuck with the SATA pact he might be president now but he was too egotistical to be anything but president. By the way HH still has time to lay out his agenda for governing Zambia. Don’t just sit there and criticize. Lay out a vision or…

    • @Sanity,
      LOL, Here is a simple memory test. Which of these two men, HH and EL, went around saying “Me also” after listening to the other one?

    • HH knows better than to do that. He learnt his lesson during the campaign time when all we heard was “me too”. The governing strategy should come from the party in government. How can the opposition start strategising governance? It is the duty of those in power to do so. We can no longer pretend that all is well when we are plunging deep in debt. We cannot afford to continue with the reckless borrowing when we don’t have any means of paying back. Zambia is hurting right know and is in dire need of a serious leader who is able to propel the country’s economic development. At the moment, that person is HH. Let us look at the benefit of Zambia as a country, not our individual benefit as seems to be the case with some bloggers. Please think big, think Zambia…

  38. HH is just politicking with anger and bitterness. Six months is not enough to solve all the mess of 50+ years. During his campaign messages HH promised free education up to University, free medical, free and increasedd fertilizers etc. He borrowed from Sata but fofrtunatly for Sata Zambians fell for it; unfortunately for HH Zambians are wiser and will not fall for it again and besides he dos not sound convicing. Lekeni Lungu abombeko, as rightly put by HH he has only been in power for six months and that is not enough to warrant the criticism being heaped on him.

  39. Be realistic as yo comment. look at what is happening around the country. People, do you surely need spiritual eyes to look at what is happenning? even if HH is to be president, he will surely have to borrow to fulfill whatever he is promising us.if you an individual can borrow, what of the nation which is looking after 13 milion people? Viva PF and long live E.L.

  40. HH will never rule Zambia Chifukwa ni mbala, Thief. His attacks on ECL is simply taste of bitterness. 6 months is not enough to surely assess ECL objectively. He is simply completing what SATA started. He cannot abandon it as this will make him lose an election in 2016. Sata left facts on the ground and ECL must finish these facts.
    HH with his claim on vision has lost 4 times. He is losing again in 2016. But he will do very well in Southern province but not in western and North western. This time HH will get 18% while ECL will get 56%. The difference will go to opposition FDD, NAREP, etc.
    Muzalunza again, a mister HH.

  41. The wind of change is blowing and blowing seriously around the country starting from the East. The results of the forth coming by election will be tastment to this.

  42. I TOLD YOU PF CADERS AND I WILL REPEAT MYSELF THAT THE WIND OF CHANGE IS BLOWING AND BLOWING FAST ACROSS THE COUNTRY.EDDY CLAIMED HE TRAVELS ALOT AND THE WIND OF CHANGE IS ONLY BLOWING IN BANTUSTAN AREAS BUT HIS BOSS CHAGWA HAS FELT THIS HENCE HIS MANVOURS TO DELAY THE POLLS TO 2020 IT WILL NOT WORK AS ZAMBIANS ARE EARGERLY WAITING FOR 2016 TO PACK CHAGWA AND HIS GODFATHER RUPIAH BANDA.
