United Party for National Development (UPND) President Hakainde Hichilema has challenged the Patriotic Front (PF) Government to explain how they are creating creating 500,000 jobs when so many are now being lost. In a statement released to the media today, the UPND leader wondered whether the jobs created were purely for for ministers and politicians.
Below is the full statement
HH statement on job losses in mining sector
7th October 2015
PRESS STATEMENT
In the UPND we are deeply concerned by the scale and extent of the recent and on going job losses we are seeing in the mining sector. Looking at the numbers coming out from Mopani Copper Mines, one is left with no option but to agree that the Zambian economy has collapsed. When employees lose jobs this not only seriously affects their immediate families, but negatively impacts the Zambian nation as a whole.
With little chance to prepare for such an eventuality in terms of the exit package and in the face of the ever-rising cost of living, miners will not only lose jobs but risk being condemned to destitution along with their dependents. The PF Government must immediately address the question of how the rights of these workers can be better protected and labour laws strengthened so that those whose employment is coming to an end have the means to make the transition.
After all while the PF has meddled with the mining taxation time and time again (we have had 4 different mining taxation regimes in as many years), the real losers have been the Zambian people and the workers. How much better would the situation be for those now facing an uncertain future if the PF’s focus had been on labour reform and workers’ rights instead?
It’s unfortunate that our colleagues in the PF have also been busy looking the other way with their by-elections, heavy international travel schedule and creation of extra ministries and jobs for politicians, instead of looking at the plight of workers such as our miners who toil daily to grow our economy and industries. The fruits of this growth are then largely wasted by Government with little material benefit to the workers.
The plight of our miners raises all sorts of concerns and questions concerning the state of employment under the PF. Let the PF explain how they are creating 500,000 jobs when so many are now being lost? Are all these jobs to be created purely for ministers and politicians? Let the PF give us monthly updates on which jobs have been created and where. We do not want to hear more empty promises so let them update us on those that have already been created and not merely what they plan to create. Also, what kind of jobs are these and how are the rights of these workers protected? Or are these yet more temporary or casual positions?
The PF Government has demonstrated to us that its confrontational approach to such matters has only aggregated the situation. This is a clear indication that it lacks proper leadership to drive the economy and spur the much needed investor confidence and trust of workers.
We in the UPND therefore urge our PF colleagues to be level headed. Where it is necessary to consult others let it be so without being confrontational. It’s a different approach to dare people with solutions as opposed to inviting them to have a fruitful discussion.
Hakainde Hichilema
UPND President
True dat Mr President, this economy is paralyzed.
I now understand why HH is not president. A president should look like one you can have a beer with not like one that would castigate you if you did. By the way he sounds like a nagging wife. Every single day its statement this, statement that. I hope he knows that 99.99% of the people who visit on-line publications and social media are disenfranchised!
Copper is a wasting asset. That is what my grade 5 teacher told me several years ago. By that it means one day, no one will be employed in the copper mines here in Zambia. Whether you like it or not.
Comment: The PF govt has destroyed jobs; it has not created any NET jobs.
Chishimba Kambwile/Edgar Lungu, [jobs ceated – jobs lost] is a negative
number under yo chipante pante PF govt.
HH Note that job creation is not only about Mines, We know PF have failed but publish statements that will make us believe when you are elected you will change things so that SMEs can have better Financing to create more jobs. Unfortunately Zambia only depends on Copper which is stupid yet we have other sectors that can help us Improve the economy.
Forget PF go to the drawing board and tell us what you would do differently. Also note that we don’t expect motorcades in your era if you are truly serious to change Zambia.. NO welcoming Parties at the airport which is a stupid waste of resources and time.
500,000 jobs was a dream for the youths, not the miners.
Demand for number already employed ever since that ka Vincent Mwale worsted money printing job plans. These those PF have even failed to create just 1 job for soccer coach. 500,000 but naiwe HH you like ukutumfya abantu.

I mwe ba HH going into the mini bus with passengers does not meant that you will assume power.Remember that the majority of the people in Mandevu are from Chipata and Northern province so do not think that they will vote for you.Just look at what happened in January when your fellow cattle herders massively voted for you.We will not allow a cattle Shepard into state house.Our fear is that you will authorise the movement of cattle in the streets of Lusaka
Our fear is that you will authorise the movement of cattle in the streets of Lusaka. kikikikikikikiki
Ntoto yabanyoko, how can he take cattle in the streets of Lusaka when he is got far to keep them. You are off your locker you beggar.
Ntoto yabanyoko, how can he take cattle in the streets of Lusaka when he is got farms to keep them. You are off your locker you beggar.
We are talking about the 500,000 jobs to be created can you stick to the topic
Who is the “we” you refer to who still would vote for PF that has:
a. Butchered the Kwacha
b. Reduced standard of living by allowing sky rocketing prices
c. Increased taxes at RATSA, Police fines, ZESCO tariffs
d. Embraced corruption through RB
e. Introduced gun culture and accelerated violence including State Police brutality
“Where it is necessary to consult others let it be so without being confrontational. It’s a different approach to dare people with solutions as opposed to inviting them to have a fruitful discussion”. I agree with HH 100%. The way Kambwili comes out, even if I had a cure for Zambian economy, I wud rather go with it to my grave than give it to Kambwili. Truly the economy has collapsed. We are just waiting for fuel increase and everyone will technically be a destitute. We were telling them about adverse effects of (a) unnecessary by-elections, (2) imprudent borrowing (3) too large cabinet, (4) caderization of the civil service and parastatal companies, (5) interference in operation of ACC, Police, etc to the point whereby corruption is now endemic, (6) uncoordinated policies where today u…
@Vladmir Outin, I couldn’t have said it any better. You hit the on the nail. Bravo.
Waste of your air, Icilema. Bottom line is you just ain’t got the necessary charisma, the appropriate appeal, the right icimwela, for anything other than doing what you are currently doing. Nothing presidential, sadly.
And Chagwa has that?
I hate attacking people personally. I was tempted to attack Chitutuma for the senseless comments he makes but I will restrain myself. I will instead defend his right to air his thoughtless utterances. I will, however, point out that it is a foo.lish nation that seeks a charismatic leader when it’s very existence is in the hands of incompetent politicians who cannot articulate a single economic policy. If I were Chitutuma, I would continue uttering these comments even when people tell me, “Chitutuma, you need to try critical thinking.” But being the person that he is, Chitutuma does not see anything wrong with hating on HH.
Hey, Chitutuma, HH is rich. He does not need State House to be fed. Millions of Zambians don’t have time for charisma. Unlike HH they need food, clothing, and…
Stop gaining political mileage out of something that u cannot solve if u were president right now…! Only your fellow kachemas will follow your propaganda…!
How do you know he can not solve it. Have you tried him just as how lungu has failed. Dont judge a book by its covers read it to know the story behind.
@Chanda and Chitutuma! You are really backwards! I can’t waste my brains and energy to explain anything here! Just looking at your thinking, no amount of counsel change your shallow mind set!
PRESIDENT HH, THERE ARE NO 500 000 JOBS THAT WILL EVER BE CREATED BY LUNGU AND HIS FAILED PF SYNDICATE. ANYTHING COMING FROM PF IS AN ABSOLUTE LIE!AND THESE LIARS HAVE BEEN FOOLING THE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE SINCE 2011 WHEN THEY CAME INTO POWER. PF IS A GROUP OF PATHOLOGICAL LIARS! MR. HH, THE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR YOU TO MOBILIZE THEM AND EMANCIPATE US FROM THIS BRUTAL AND HEARTLESS LEADERSHIP OF LUNGU AND HIS FELLOW LOOTERS. LUNGU SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN IN OFFICE FOR MORE THAN 3 MONTHS, LEST ZAMBIA GOES INTO A TOTAL COLLAPSE.
Zambia does not need a politician again but prayer. Now it is, “in God we trust”.
500,000 Jobs & could see some PF ministers smiling like school children when announcement was made. No economy in Africa is capable of doing that right now. Just to give u some numbers, the US which is the biggest economy has a GDP of $17,418,295 Million USD & Zambia’s GDP is 26,610 Million USD. Simple calculation will tell you that the US Economy is 654 times more bigger than Zambian’s economy. On average in the last 12 months, the US Economy has created about 198,000 Jobs a month. If you work it out, for Zambia that would mean about 306 Jobs a month. To create 500,000 u would require 136 years & by the even EL’s great grand children would be dead.
IF IT COMES FROM PF, IT IS A SERIOUS LIE! WHICH 500 000 JOBS CREATION IS LUNGU AND HIS LYING TEAM TALKING ABOUT? PLEASE DON’T TAKE LUNGU SERIOUSLY. LUNGU IS A FAILED LEADER. PF IS A FAILED GOVERNMENT. LOOTERS HAVE LOOTED AND ZAMBIA IS NOW EMPTY! BOOT THIS GUY OUT OF OFFICE TO AVOID FURTHER DAMAGE TO OUR COUNTRY AND OUR LIVES. LET US ALL STAND UP AND STOP THIS LUNATIC JAMESON LUNGU FROM INFLICTING IRREPARABLE DAMAGE ON OUR COUNTRY.
@chitutuma oko wikala ko ulatutuma ne pepo ka? uletutumina uko kwine..you are the same people who are killing this country with such type of retarded reasoning.Bushe abakala luse nchinto bakalya ichimwela?do you know if any minining firms are exporting any copper at the moment?be it nchanga,nkana mine,mines in chambishi or any mine in zambia none of these are currently exporting the mental.and you say you need ichimwela atase.we need serious people in govt to tackle current problems ..you tried chiluba who was charismatic and sata already did you achive anything?Go and try Dolika then if you need to eat charisma.
I read and quote, “It’s a different approach to dare people with solutions as opposed to inviting them to have a fruitful discussion.” Kambwili hear that. The way you guys in PF confront the opposition to provide solutions is f.oolish and childish. Any normal person would rather die with their solution than give them to Kambwili and PF.
Very interesting again. Firstly, there are no reliable statistics in Zambia. The PF Government has NOT created 500,000 jobs. The blue-collar jobs created for those building roads are temporal and with funding issues, most of these jobs are casual. Real jobs cannot come when the Government has shunned education and has accepted a situation where elderly people make over half of the workforce. Real jobs are jobs that result in an individual paying taxes and contributing to the country and not those that enable an individual to serve themselves and a small family. Very few African governments have ideas to create jobs- but let me give you a picture- how many middle-class jobs would we have created if we spent half of the Eurobonds borrowed ($2.5 Billion) on employment and education?
IWE CHANDA ALL YOU SEE TRIBE,WAKE UP MY FRIEND THE COUNTRY IS GONE BEFORE YOU REALISE IT.WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR YES,CHANGE OF GOVERMENT IS COMING IN ABOUT ELEVEN MONTH TIME.
H H ruling Zambia…. Kayamayo
@mbinji
Have you forgotten the way you used your nega nega formular last January ? Do you think others have forgotten.You will be taught a lesson in 2016.Chanda is just being objective and blunt.He is correct.
Even him can not solve the problems we are passing through ,Devil you know is better than the Angel you do not know.
A very retrogressive thought for somebody living in a foreign country. Why didn’t you stick with the Zambia you knew?
@ mbinji
Chanda is correct.Your nega nega formula will not work in 2016.There will be no change of govt because the tribal party will be taught a lesson.
Satanist on the move the guy is afraid of prayers !
Because prayers don’t work!
Show me a time when prayer worked and I will show you a nation condemned to perpetual suffering by ‘waiting on the Lord!’
Satanist on the move the guy is afraid of prayers !
The topic is about the 500,000 jobs to be created. Stick to the topic.
This HH guy is good at destroying, not building. During the ill-fated privatization programme, he wantonly participated in the sale of companies, for a song; Luanshya mine was one of them. So, that is why he thinks it’s not possible to create jobs. All he has done is to steal from the poor, under the pretext of privatization. So, he will never like anyone who wants to do something progressive for the masses. Deep down his heart he knows that it’s the despicable privatization he and other criminal elements participated in, which has brought most of the current economic ills, such as high unemployment and weak manufacturing base, he is talking about. Let him tell us why Colgate Palmolive, Refined Oil Products (ROP), LENCO, Premium Oils, Dunlop, Zamhort, Zambia Airways, UBZ, CH, Rover…
The sad out of tune self-hating song I hear from this broken record, Fuehrer, is HH sold the mines.
I bet you, illogical thinkers like you and Kambwili cannot get past the fact that your own fellow Zambia actually participated in the process. You will hate him not because he got paid well for the job he did on behalf of the Zambian government, but because he was a Zambian. Had the contract been won by a foreigner, a white for that matter, you would not be singing such a sad sonnet day and day out. You are used to exalting people who come in from the outside. You would give them contracts willingly and then some.
Know this, whatever money HH made from privatization, a process he did not initiate nor manage, he kept it all in Zambia. He invested it in Zambia. Other foreigners including…
Truth Always comes out to testify against Liars like HH.
Your write up is all that’s needed to confront ‘non confrontational HH,’ The man who speaks like the people have short memories.
HH has been rejected by Zambians on several times because UPND is a tribal party.You chased Sakwiba Sikota and many others.Zambians have not forgotten.PF will continue to rule cos Lungu is doing his best and is well focussed.
Ba Justina pleas the topic is about the 500,000 jobs promised by lungu. Can you comment on that pleas.
@ Justina the issue of tribe here is not there,at the moment we are looking at someone who has a vision not to steer the Economy not always talking about tribal issues.You don’t have anything to campaign against HH apart from the tribal…at least he means what he’s saying because even at individual level he has succeeded.U can’t compare HH to Edgar Lungu….lets face it. Edgar Lungu is a failed project.
Personal Request to HH:
Dear Your Excellency,
I would like to request you to do the following for me next year:
(1) re-possess York Farm and give it back to UNZA
(2) Mahtan and his Finance Bank should not be troubled. He has sacrificed more than most Zambians.
(3) de-politisize the police service
IF THERE IS THE LAST PERSON TO TALK ABOUT MINES ITS HH BECAUSE IS THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR JOB LOSES, THE HARM WAS DONE WHEN THE MINES WERE SOLD BY THIS MAN HAKANA HUKUPEPA (HH)
HH was not president when the mines were sold, the last word rested with the president.
Yeah? HH hired himself, right? And paid himself well….
Bulldust!
How old was HH when the mines got sold by the now dead people?
You liar, HH , never privatized no mine! Privatization was done by V Chitalu and F Kaunda supervised by FTJ Chiluba.
Mmmmm, ba HH so you don’t believe in job creation tefyo? Everything iwe kukana, Prayers, ati terms and conditions, mealie meal price hike ati its okay, global effect on Kwacha ati you are a magician, load shedding ati you can make rain please, how come you have been losing the bye elections and the number of MPs Mazoka left you has drastically dwindled?
Ubufi tabwawama mune, Zambians have rejected you as its President chalipwa!
Stick to the topic of the 500,000 jobs to be created pleas.
How many times did late Sata lose? The problem with Zambians is, even people who have been exposed to functioning democracies still think like villagers in Mgubudu.
If you cannot provide alternative solutions on how to avoid job loses in the mines, its better you just keep quite. What you are doing is what you yourself call NOISE MAKING or better still as MCS would say you are just YAPPING Mr HH.
Pleas comment on the topic at hand , the 500,000 jobs to be created
Why should HH provide solutions?
You can see PF mentality from their kaponya suppoters on this blog. The topic as the title shows, is about the 500,000 jobs promised by lungu. Instead they go off on different tangents avoiding the topic at hand. Just like how we are asking their leaders in PF to show us how over $500,000 000 was spent on kariba, an audit. They come back with excuses of rainfall. Ok there is less rain fall but show us how you used our money??. Ehhhh guys, stick to the topic at hand, namely the 500,000 jobs promised by lungu.
They are blind to the truth after all they need their jobs.
Imitating the late presido Micheal Chilufya Sata.
This HH ido1ts promised to bring back Anglo American so ‘sort out the mining challenges’ hopless character oppossite everything including nothing. Just go for prayers so that the freemansonary evil spirits can be casted-out.
Nostra, what about the 500,000 jobs promised by lungu??
@Nostramadus, you sound bitter. Just use your head a bit – on which ground would HH bring back Anglo American? By the way, the topic is creation of 500,000.
Unemployment from small and large businesses is alarming at the moment . Just take a walk along most of the small shops and large enterprises closing everyday and calculate how many employees work in each business. Do the maths and its everyday businesses of all types are folding up. The problem is this will have a spiral effect on other sectors soon.
I do not expect a person who sold our companies on the copper belt to pretend that he could be in position to create jobs if he was voted president.This is hypocrisy !
How did he sell them? The politicians are / were the ones who ordered the selling off mines. He came in as a valuator. How many times do you want to hear that?
Which company did you own?
If you had a bit of education u would know that ONLY ZPA and GRZ privatized parastatals.
Of course u belong to the lying lunatic fringe who lie and lie and believe their lie
500,000 JOBS ….. this is a target which can either be achieved or it can not be achieved. MR. Ichilema….you equally have set targets before….. some you achieved eg privitisation of parastals for a song and getting shares in most of those companies……. But you have equally failed to achieve some targets…… you set targets to go to state house in 2006, 2008, 2011 and 2015….. you have not achieved any and no one has demanded you to explain why……. Now ka HH who are you to question targets that can either be met or revised depending on the economic environment…….. Please PF can you hire me to debate with this Veteran Presidential contender……. in terms of appearing on presidential barots HH is only second to HH…… God help Zambia……. Ananobe ngabalusa…
How does some one who is supposed to be a president come out with numbers like 500,000 jobs??? Even a grade 9 if shown GDP comparisons with say the USA and how many jobs they have managed to creat will not come out with a figure like that. Now we are talking lungu who has all these advisors comes up with numbers like that??? And you expect some one who is so delusional to develop Zambia?
I VERY SURE GOD WILL NOT ALLOW THESE KALOBA BEGERS TO CONTINUE RULING ZAMBIA.COME 2016 WE SHALL VOTE IN NUMBERS TO REMOVE THEM SO THAT ZAMBIA CAN BREATH FRESH AIR .YES WE CAN.ALL ZAMBIANS WILL SHOW THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN ONE MIGHTY TRIBE THAT WE ARE MANY AND YES WE CAN .
GOLIAT(MIGHTY BEMBA TRIBE)VS DAVID AND THE SONS OF ISREAL(SMALL ZAMBIAN TRIBES)
Listen UPND and HH supporters; HH is not experienced in issues of governance for him to claim to ve the solution to the challenges we re facing. UPND & HH simpathisers,I want u to tell us your immediate solutions to following; I dont need long term remedies because thats what PF has put forward:(1) Loadshedding (2) devaluation of Kwacha (3) Mining Job losses (4) rising cost of living (5) Job creation.
@Hakana Hukupepa, are you really serious with the questions you are posting? hmm … please. You vote someone in power reject the other and when challenges arise you want who to sort out the mess. The so -called “loser”.
Get a life.
Look at the experienced Edgar Lungu, very sad indeed!
Imwe ba PF muli fikopo sana! Was HH president or in government when the mines were sold for a song? If indeed he Sold the companies and pocketed the money why is he not in prison or why haven’t successive governments taken him to court? Don’t be so petty you semiliterate kaponyas! Ask your leader how and when he is going to create the 500000 jobs he promised you, imwe ba kolwe! I pity you idi0ts who can’t see anything wrong and only focus on tribe! Are you going to feed on tribe mwe mbwa imwe! Mwalibelela ukuchula ba f!kala! At your age you still continue supporting blindly over a pack of shake shake! Get a life idi0ts! Tell Edgar to make such promises when only he is addressing PF cadres and not the whole nation!
KD,
They are not semiilliterates. They illiterates, PERIOD.
and i hope you do know that the “illiterates” are the majority voters.
Comment:perpetual looser jst shut up.
Pato, the topic is about the 500,000 jobs promised by lungu, as the heading clearly states.
How much is price of mealie meal? Bread? Mini bus?
I know Zambians to be very intelligent people and always speak up when things are going wrong. Quick question; is President Lungu really trying concerning job creation? Is the 500, 000 job creation promise a fact or fallacy of getting people to vote the status quo? Let us discuss…get HH of the picture and discuss this question…if you can. No insults please, that is very unzambian..especially the intelligent Zambians. If this forum is for the street kids, then pardon my perception about my country and withdraw the question I am trying to bring forward.
HH is not the right person to talk about mining issues.
1. The present job crisis was never anticipated by anyone including HH, otherwise he would have issued a statement telling government to concentrate on strengthening labour laws and not on mining taxes.
2. I seem to remember HH telling us not too long ago when the country was debating on mining regime, that he would increase the contribution of the mines to tax revenues. If I don’t understand English forgive me, but my humble understanding was that HH wanted the mines to pay more taxes. I vividly remember this because I asked myself whether I was hearing HH correctly to advocate higher taxes when he was an economist and private businessman. So what is telling us today? That he was wrong or politicking? Well if so say so HH!
3…
Forgive Lungu. He was probably high on something and saw 500, 000 jobs. This could probably be his margin of loss in 2016.
CommentI haven’t seen people like a baemba intima ubi, you calling people ba animals , we are telling you that does not belong to you ,
@ June,Patrick; U guys re failing to read between the lines,your HH has been rejected.The guy is not appealling.He is not marketable. He is arrogant and pompus. UPND dont think these economic challenges will help your HH to state house. He is losing again,this time with a bigger margin.
@Hakana Hukupepa. I will vote for HH. I come from the same province as Lungu, but, sorry to say, Lungu has failed. I cannot mortgage the future of my family on a known failure. I would rather try something or someone else.
Rejected by who?!
He is number one for plot one and thus the tirade by PF tribal gang
In your own wisdom Edgar is more appealing and marketable! The chap has no knowledge of anything! He refuses to take questions on governance issues worse still the economy! When many economies in the world are cutting down on costs as a mitigation measure against the dipping economies, he creates more districts and more ministries and charters a plane to take him to USA with a very big entourage at a huge cost to our poor broke country! This is the more appealing character to this PF blind supporter!
HH ‘s plan is to own mines in zambia by bring anglo-america whom he claims are his friends.He Got Money During Sale Of Mine & Before That He Was Never Heard Of, He Was Just A Cow Boy Moving With Cattle From Place To Place.This Man Has Destroyed This Country Than Any Person On Earth.He Builds Structures Outside.Now He Wants Mines.He Sells Fish. Miners Carful With This Man And His Tricks.
How has he destroyed the country? guys if some of you take medication for mental problems some times reducing the dosage or changing the medicine helps if you find you start writing incoherently.
@Kalusa! Before I say anything, I would want to know your level of education!

HH speaks for those of us who wish to live an honest life without stealing or corruption
Desperate times call for desperate measures board a minibus go on radio ride a bicycle etc…but we have seen this movie before in what a few cronies called ‘Our MIcheal’ and boy have the landed the nation in mabvuto…..so no amount of stage managed humility will send you to plot 1. Question what portfolio will your Vice President a High School drop out hold in your Government? Have you forgotten what he did when he was Defense Minister for two minutes? How desperate are you that you can not see the wisdom in Jonas Shaka telling you to stop violence? Or to watch who you surround yourself with? Or indeed when Gary Nkombo advises you about Ben Kapita? Awe boss 2016 no chance you will again blame ‘that ka girl’ at ECZ….
Kalusa Never mind about these comments from hh supporters.compare kalusa’s debate points with patrick its like comparing seventh day to catholic.who is who? we want more from u, they can feel the heat. Debate not attacking the writer it shows how Low u are.
You don’t know whether to Laugh or Cry with HH’s approach to power struggle; which is, Contradict for the sake of having something different to say in the hope your campaign does not get lost in the haystack!
As an Economist he knows fully well that during periods of high unemployment and a poorly performing economy, gov’ts MUST create fake jobs ( even digging holes and filling them again is work).
In the UK, we have had these types of jobs in most recessions in order to kick start the economy. All sorts of non jobs like zero hour contracts (my employer hasn’t given me any hours since 2013 leading to some thinking I don’t have a job….), in truth these jobs keep the unemployment stats down, but pay under the required living starts wage. It’s not just the gov’t creating…
This went on to say, it’s not just the gov’t creating these jobs but primarily big corporations taking advantage of ‘free, slave labour.’ I have been a Lettings Negotiator for Countrywide UK leading Estate agents since 2009 as a Lettings Negotiator (Saturdays), but they can get away with parking your contract.
Let’s get real, and accept the changes that have come to us and work together in harmony, NOT CREATE, Dissatisfaction with our Gov’t and create an environment of violence.
