HH accuse President Lungu of inviting Witchdoctors to help him win 2016 elections

UPND President Hakainde Hichilema claims President Edgar Lungu has invited three witchdoctors from Malawi to help him win the 2016 elections.

The UPND Leader says he has intelligence information that President Lungu has allegedly invited the three witchdoctors so that they can perform their task at State House during the time he will be working from Kitwe.

And Mr. Hichilema has questioned how genuine President Lungu’s calls for people to reconcile are, when days after the prayer and fasting Police were sent to beat up students at the Copperbelt University (CBU).

He says instead of listening to the cries of the student and paying them better allowances, President Lungu is busy sending Police officers to beat them up.

He says there is no doubt that President Lungu is using the name of God in vain to win the people’s sympathies ahead of the 2016 elections.

Mr Hichilema however states that the people of Zambia have already made up their minds after enduring suffering under the PF government.

He says the cost of living in the country is high and that farmers cannot afford to buy fertilizer which is now costing K500 per bag from at K200 four years ago.

Mr. Hichilema said this in Kabwe this afternoon when he received district, constituency and ward level defectors from MMD, PF, NAREP and Rainbow party.

When contacted for a comment, Special Assistant to the President for Press and Public Relations Amos Chanda promised to get back, while further efforts by QFM to get him proved futile.

Speaking at the same event, UPND Vice President for Administration Geoffrey Mwamba says Zambians rejected the MMD which the PF is now working with by embracing some of its former Ministers.

Mr. Mwamba says by embracing former MMD Ministers, President Lungu is showing that he has run out of ideas on governance.

Mr. Mwamba has since encouraged the young generation to register as voters so that they vote the PF out of office in next year’s elections, adding that Zambians made a mistake to vote for the PF in January presidential election.

    • A virulent strain of ECL Derangement Syndrome, which scientists and UPND thought had been wiped out at the end of the last elections, is now afflicting millions of Zambian Elites. They simply can’t fathom the facts.

      They can’t handle the truth … all while the roller derby/demolition derby that is the Opposition’s ability to mount a challenge against ECL. By the time it is election time 2016, most of the problems would have self-corrected.

    • HH should know. He hangs with the very w!tches who are now “cleansing’ State House. They are the ones who gave him the Intel. How else would he know? Perhaps he is just mad his friends are now cavorting with his nemesis!

    • HH is already predicting his loss for 2016. The other day he said ECZ will rig the elections for Lungu. Today he says Lungu will try to win through witchcraft. No sir. If you lose it will only be because the Zambian people don’t like you. You have no descernible character other than self promotion! Lungu has more personality in one finger than you have in your entire body.
      People vote based on likability not economics or intelligence. You lack both character and an interesting personality.

    • HH before ECL beat you to the punch you said the same thing about Zambians making up their minds and you’d win by a landslide, then BOOOM ECL wins. Come 2016 it will be the same story, now the witches story is subject to debate, if let’s say State House was being fumigated you’d rush conclude that it’s witchcraft. My verdict is you are losing Hagain. On GBM…no comment

    • The ferociousness and deep pockets of gladiators (HH and GBM) not being enough to scoop the Presidential prize next time around and the possibility of yet another long, gory slog that might not find resolution at the next polls is making HH illucinate about sangomas … yaba, oh yaba!!!

    • Just in case HH and GBM don’t get it, let me break it down for them … the same smart people of the Zambian Enterprise your online minions keep insulting and calling gullible are so smart that they fully understand that electing you would turn the entire enterprise in a subsidiary of your personal holdings.

      The so called gullible would like to stand and sing of Zambia, proud and free. They want to continue calling their land of work and joy in unity. They want to proclaim themselves victors in their struggle for their land.

      They want to say they have won, freedom’s fight … all one, strong and free. On the chorus they sing and say Praise be to God, praise be, praise be … bless our great nation, Zambia … Zambia. Free men they stand, under their flag of their land, Zambia…

    • The so called gullible would like to stand and sing of Zambia, proud and free. They want to continue calling their land of work and joy in unity. They want to proclaim themselves victors in their struggle for their land.

      They want to say they have won, freedom’s fight … all one, strong and free. On the chorus they sing and say Praise be to God, praise be, praise be … bless our great nation, Zambia … Zambia. Free men they stand, under their flag of their land, Zambia. Praise to thee … all one, strong and free … the moment you figure that out, is the moment they may let you lead them.

    • @BR Mumba, you had good time last week and the weekend. It is time I chess you again from here…
      I give you 2 days usamweko, that is it.

    • What is this HH?? It is PF who can say such things, not HH not even that Canicius Banda who say stuff. That sounds like Kabimba’s politics….

    • If what HH is saying is true he needs to ask genuine prayer warriors to pray and let God expose everything, the battle is not his but the Lords, otherwise he needs to focus on issues. Genuine Pastors should also address the issue if true and preach the gospel of salvation to everyone.

  1. MWANA WAMULUNGU HH, AM WORRIED AND SHOCKED. I THINK THATS WHAT YOU DO AND PLANNING TO CONTINUE DOING SINCE YOU ARE NOT SURE OF YOUR BELIEF!

  2. No doubt, this is a new low in Zambian Politics. Opposition leader scared of witchcraft rigged elections … Does our educated elder at Seventh Day Adventists even believe what he is saying? I mean is evils more powerful than his God? Why is he worried about that to even help spread such stories … I mean is he scared of such low level beer hall talk if not market or comboni rumours. Is this really the person with such belief who should be our president? Come on Mr HH, this is a new low and I have downgraded you back to Under 5 from my latest upgrade to Under 6

    • HH is not saying he is going to lose nether does he say he believes in witchdoctors. He is simply saying EL is disparate to win election by looking to witchdoctors to make him win instead of working lowering the standard of living in our country. HH as a Christian he believes that There is satan working through these witchdoctors, but he doesn’t believe in them he believes in Education through God. Mind you Lungu told zambian that he is ready to do anything even spending money just win election. Witchdoctors are of darkness hence done in secrecy . EL is not a christian. If he is show us which church does he go to and who is his pastor or priest. He is A MUSLIM.

  3. Mr President HH; Don’t go there. That’s too cheap a shot talking about witchdoctors without proof to the public. Leave those kind of rants to your ward chairmen or Lifwekelo or somebody similar.

  4. Under PF the Zambian economy has collapsed! If anyone does not know how Governments fail just know that you are experiencing it right now in Zambia! This is exactly how it happens: the cost of almost everything goes up and there is hopelessness! Everywhere in the world, governments that are incompetent and have failed are removed! Simple! Just like UNIP was removed for destroying the economy, PF must be removed as well for destroying the economy! PF has failed!

  5. Oh goosh! This man(HH) is supposed to be the visionary alternative to Lungu. And all he can manage is this crap of witchdoctors. Really! No way I am voting for another mugulu in state house. One is enough. Chipimo you will have my vote come 2016!

  6. Paradoxically the religious are mostly superstitious. It is not surprising to even realize that the very religious are the most frequenters of witch doctor visitations. PK Chishala already told us about Pastor Pole Pole…

  7. Comment: Whether with or without witchdoctors UPND is formining the next GVT.HH made that comment to show the Zambian pipo how desperate CHAGWA is, for him to go to that extent of involving witchdoctors at the expense of winning next year’s General Election.Plz,pipo,stop the sugar coating nonsense!.

  8. I posted on this Lusaka Times Matt 15.8 ‘`These people honour me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.’ ECL has tried to mask this appetite for witchdoctors by appearing to honour God. We know where his real heart is. If such things will be regarded as simple, then we are living in delusion. This is no small matter and its time the church awoke!

  9. Gullible and blind bloggers will attack HH on this one because they realize the impact the statement will have on ECL strategy to turn to the church for political redemption. Kind Saul tried to perform sacrifices but the more he tried, the more the evil spirit within called provoked. David’s music could not solve the problem.

  10. Is this not the reason Amos Chanda could not immediately respond to the question? Which other president ever relocated State House to another place, albeit temporarily? There is a difference between visiting and relocating. Can you all not see the spiritual world at play? Open your spiritual eyes to discern.

  11. As time stretches, the truth about Lungu’s motivation about all these declarations will be exposed; not by man but by the LORD God Almighty. Bishops and pastors are not seen it yet; let us open our spiritual eyes.

  12. HH if really you are a man of God, then you should FEAR GOD not witchcraft.

    If anything it’s you HH who is being petty. Now we know why you wanted to boycott prayers and it got backfired on you. And got forced to eat your own vomit.

    I am sorry fellow Zambians, HH is not fit to be the Commander-in-Chief for Zambia.

    Does this man have advisors?

    • HH’s statements is not of fear, but one to show ‘you’ that HE ECL is not walking his talks; he calls for prayers and sangomas at the same time because the msn doesn’t know exactly what to do in order to love the country forward but tithe same time he wants remain president at all cost. HH did not even waste time on the matter but refer to it so that citizens take interest to monitor activities in state house in ECL’s absence. HH is worried about it but mentions for pipo to judge if ECL means well shift state house to CB.

  13. If you believe in god, that you have never seen with your own eyes why do you call the so called witch doctors magic superstition. arent the two the same? stevie wonder sang kale. if you believe in things that you cant see, then you are superstitious. My point is, if you take in religion as a christian nation, then you should also take in the opposite of that faith too. i mean its only logical. Ying yang principle. there is no good without evil and vice versa.
    Besides what we call witch doctors is a misnomer, the white mans religion of jesus is the witch doctor. ever since they came into our lives, the life of an african has deteriorated. now compare that to the days when we did things our way. who is the witch doctor now?

    • @zagaze, people like you succeed precisely because you look at the big picture. Great observation that will only peeve the parochial fundamentalists. I will not spoil the thought by adding to it!

  14. This would be one big headline: “HH’s Congo wizards concede defeat to ECL’s Malawian Wizards. Final Score Wizards 3-Zambians zero”. But seriously bane, where are we going with all this backwardness in the 21st Century?” HH Should just laugh it off but he appears to be taking it seriously. I’m dumbstruck. Where the hell is the Zambian leadership?

  15. When we say under five people get offended. ECL is more intelligent than HH. He knows exactly were the votes are while the so called educated are busy missing the point. Come November 2016 people will be crying rigging. HH please read simple Zambian political math. Majority of Zambians are Christians ECL knows this fact and he is using it. Over 50% of Zambians associate with Bembas which is spoken and covers Luapula, Northern, CB and most of central. There is no other language in Zambia that is this wide spread to make matters worse Easterners are closer to Bembas. Most Zambians unfortunately are poor and uneducated. These as bad as they sound are facts that every one wishing to rule Zambia should use to their advantage. ECL is also using “one Zambia one Nation” to his advantage. Please…

  16. Under 5 politics indeed. It is you HH that dines with satanist. Leave it out and focus on developmental issues.
    Let Lungu work for now and you provide constructive criticism to help mother zambia.

  17. God can never be mocked.You can not pretend to be a christian and invite witch doctors its sad I hope its not true but theres no smoke without fire.

  18. All nyau dancers believe in witchcraft and their headquarters is nchisi malawi,their common names are lungu,phiri,banda etc not Ha or wHi. State house belongs to nyau now!:

  19. HH sure is this what you call image building after failing to attend national prayers. what u are doing is self image damage.

  20. HH is right and demonising him is part of the strategy.It is confirmed by intelligence that 3 sangomas from Malawi are arriving on 31st October to erect an evil alter at state house and cast spells on Zambian people/voters so that they vote for El under influence of demons. We pray the almighty to burn these evil beings. EL is not a Christian but some greedy clergy ve cornered him with these religious attempts to woodwink gullible Christians.

  21. These evil beings will leave Zambia on 4th or 5th Nov.after completing their enchantments. But will God let them succeed? God forbid.

  22. On the 20th January, 2015 President Lungu was elected President of the Zambia with a narrow margin; he essentially won his battle against the “money changers.” President Lungu is now the defender of the General Welfare, as defined by the Zambian Constitution, and he must continue to champion the organic power of the state to defend the Zambian citizen against the economic tyranny of some. Zambia citizens don’t forget that before President Lungu came into office, we had princes of new economic dynasties reaching out for control over government itself. There are three things HH will never do;
    1. He will never condemn multinational copper barons operating from Zambia even if they evade tax. UPND was created for them; to defend their theft of mineral resources.
    2. HH can never speak…

  23. Con’t
    1. He will never condemn multinational copper barons operating from Zambia even if they evade tax. UPND was created for them; to defend their theft of mineral resources.
    2. HH can never speak against tribalism; that’s what drives UPND. Look at the voting patterns in Southern province in the last three elections.
    3. Accept defeat; he has never conceded defeat.

  24. Hope HH is keeping his distance from fake Pastors/Witch doctors like that other Halwiindi chap (not Bright who is a God fearing respectable preacher) who has been going round accusing innocent people of witchcraft and Satanism using the pulpit.

  25. EVER EVIL MINDED WHY REALLY U NEED TO GO TO MWANAWASA GENERAL HOSP FOR SCREENING. U NEVER USED TO SMILE , SOMEONE HAS TAUGHT U BUT THIS HATE THING WILL FINISH U BADALA. U HAVE POOR ADVISARS. DO NOT ANY HOW WRITE SPEECHES AND ONLY READ. ATTACKING LICK THAT IS ONLY SELF DECAMPAIN .

  26. we are aware that those supporters of lungu knows what hh is saying hence there rubbish attacks. but no matter what you do dont mean it. god can not be mocked the country has changed. if one said some voters have two to three voters cards the pf fools will say you have already adimmited defit . no this is just to show you that we are aware of what is going on. viva hh viva upnd with its vision leaders. zambia forward.

  27. IMWE NAIMWE BA HH BALESEKESHKOFYE ATI AMAPEPO YABA ECL YALI FWOMONONA IFINYANGA FYABO SO NA BAFULWA SANA. EFYO BAMWENE PAKU SEMUKA.

  28. M waiting to hear what JAY JAY will sentiment on this article.HH is so cheap and politically impotent that even a kid can see through his schemes. People ve known him to be anti-prayer,so he lumps faeces nd smears them on his opponent to tarnish him.

  29. Ba HH please don’t be excited to that extent, you wil soon be at court for defamation. Avoid accusing others of witchcraft and in Zambia avoid mocking prayer. Political gains can be lost through very small silly comments like those. Last time it was Munkombwe ‘s silly Tonga should rule now comment that that slumped your lead. ..lweenu!

  30. Fr. Frank Bwalya said it all: if you want to understand HH’s mind, then read the Zambian Watchdog. The claims HH is making were reported by his mouthpiece the Zambian Watchdog. Is it therefore surprising that what the Zambian Watchdog reported is what HH is now telling us is the case?

  31. HH is a haunted man mwebantu. The devils he worships are now manifesting and before his blind followers know it, he will commit suicide. So far, he has accused PF and President Lungu of so many things about 2016 elections. The Under 5 has been underrating President Lungu from day one but am very sure he is shocked to see how resilient and determined our humble President Lungu is to develop and Zambia and eliminate poverty. Wherever one goes in our beautiful country, development is taking place and HH and his minions have just come to realize that its game over and the only thing to do is to hallucinate day in day out.
    President Lungu, please continue with your development drive and before HH knows it its another 5 year mandate for you your Excellence President Lungu.

  32. Problem is all this stories could be true. Remember Kaunda with his ‘Heaven on earth” David universal Temple crap which was unleashed on Zambians to make him win elections?? Chiluba had to come and destroy those things. All the one zambia one nation crap was Kaundas’ way of ensuring ” Lesa kumulu – Kauinda pa Chalo”.. These things have happened in our eyes.

  33. HH is a big liar and will forever be a liar. The truth is a 50kg bag imported D Compound fertilizer is costing about K310.00 and NOT K500. whilst the local one is fetching around K270.00 from the old price of K240.00. Can Nitrogen Chemicals also take advantage of these selfish thieves and produce more D compound and offload it at K250.00? That’s the model Dangote has done and is doing great profitwise.
    It is really a shame that HH is the one who has formed a cartel with his business thieves to increase the price of most goods so that he gets some sympathy. What type of a “leader” is this who delights in seeing the same people he aspires to lead suffer simply because he has a personal agenda?
    You will notice too that Mmembe has also pegged his finished Post at K10 and was hoping the…

  34. Do you ever wonder why HH has failed to capitalize on the problems the country is going through?
    The man is politically dull and he will never rule. It was better when he was talking about the economy and the challenges Zambians are facing.
    This witch doctor thing will only serve to diminish the little support he has.

  35. Ba HH must not stand in 2016 please find someone else in UPND if they want to win, otherwise ECL will win with landslide.

  36. The Pa-Fyamba team has camped on LT commenting one after the other trying to capitalize on the witchcraft story. Unfortunately for them the wind of change is growing stronger by day towards change of government. Its HH all the way.

  37. HOW ELSE DO YOU EXPECT LUNGU TO BEHAVE WHEN HE IS HANGING OUT WITH CHARACTERS LIKE KENNETH KAUNDA, ROBERT MUGABE AND RUPIAH BANDA. THESE GUYS ARE SANGOMA CONSULTANTS. DESPERATION AND FEAR IS WHAT IS PUSHING LUNGU TO THIS EXTENT OF SINKING SO LOW TO EVEN THINK OF WITCH DOCTORS PERFORM A RITUAL TO ASSURE HIM VICTORY IN NEXT YEAR’S ELECTIONS. WE REBUKE SUCH EVIL ACTS IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. GOD WILL LIBERATE MOTHER ZAMBIA. LOOTERS WILL BE KICKED OUT. HH AND UPND SHALL LEAD ZAMBIA INTO ECONOMIC FREEDOM AND PROSPERITY. LUNGU IS JUST STAGE PERFORMING. LUNGU IS A COMPLETE NUISANCE.

  38. You guys including the MMD Chief Bootlicker who’re condemning HH for revealing that Lungu is bringing in witch doctors should be ashamed. Or is it because you also consult witch doctors? If Lungu is bringing i witch doctors he should be condemned especially that he has used prayer and launching the new prayer cathedral to to try and get votes from Christians. What you should have done is to ask HH to provide evidence of the witch doctors than condemning him. Let the same Christians pray against the use of witch doctors.

    • Only dull and clueless people believe in witchcraft. How many whitchdoctors are rich? How many are presidents? The answer is no one, so only dull and under 5 chaps can believe such nonsense. This looks like conceding defeat before elections are even conducted. Sorry Nega-Nega Boys! f you did not believe, there is the evidence that you have a wrong chap for a candidate.

  39. Aim waiting for HH when he will speak something that will win my heart. Still l feel he is far from real politics he party is great but maybe the leadership needs someone who can win hearts across cultures not Kabwe alone

  40. HH u are just full of yourself,I have never felt at peace voting for u. Don’t come in because of global. EL will win,mark my words
