UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema has called on Zambians not to allow politicians to divide the country using tribe race, region.
Mr Hichilema said Zambian should reject politicians who use discriminatory means to ascend to power.
He was speaking on Saturday evening when he officiated at the wedding ceremony of Anderson Kambela Mazoka Jr and Lucy Chanda at Pamodzi Hotel.
Anderson Kambela Mazoka Jr is son to the UPND founding President Anderson Kambela Mazoka.
And Mr Hichilema says marriage is true unifying factor that has defied all odds including racism.
Mr. Hichilema reiterated the need for the country to continue embracing each other through marriage.
The UPND Leader added that Zambia must continue being the beacon of oneness in Africa.
He said the marriage of Mazoka Jr and Lucy Chanda signifies that Zambians cannot be divided on tribal lines.
This article lacks some points, what really happened for HH to condemn tribalism at the wedding of innocent kids, this dude is running out of campaign ideas…….
He must have been chocking as he tried hard to “condemn”what gives him political life
He is such a patronizing joker
He was using that beautiful occasion to show why Zambian are not tribal, by the fact that there are inter-tribal marriages, there is nothing wrong with that. Your post is one of those which clearly shows your natural hate for the man, even where he is speaking sense you want to cynically twist it into what is is not. Get a life.
What do people want from HH? In more progressive societies people like HH are role models, husband with only one wife. 3 kids and a very successful businessman, sober (doesn’t drink alcohol). In Zambia, all we can do is pour scorn at such a man. What a shame!
@Viyazi Tembo: or is it Chinyau Kambeba Tembo!! What a truly smelly Ar.se you are! Pan.y.o pako iwe chinkubala!!
Tembo please grow up!!!
And soon, God willing, we gonna have a Chanda Anderson Kambela Mazoka Jr (the III) through this beautiful couple. Yet some politicians still see value in promoting tribal politics in Zambia.
I know this topic is about a wedding—an occasion which should be celebrated without politics. But this is also a great teaching moment for shallow people, both politicians and otherwise, who want to take us back to the dark ages of tribal conflicts and hegemony. This really shows how ordinary Zambians look at each other if only selfish politicians can stop forcing their tribal agendas down peoples throats.
The GENIUS of our founding fathers, such as our old man KK, was promoting tribal intermarriages. Marriages that have today helped unify our country—for it is indeed hard to demonize your…

—for it is indeed hard to demonize your own nephew, niece, cousin, extra, born from a father or mother of a different tribe. Say what you may about our so called “uneducated politicians” of the Kaunda era. One thing they NEVER LACKED was WISDOM. Wisdom to foresee the kind of damage unbridled tribalism can do to our country’s social cohesion if left to chance. So in short order they embarked on ‘social projects’ that unified the country. The deliberately encouraged intermarriages and promoted the “One Zambia, One Nation” motto. I mean, it was rare for Kaunda to leave a gathering (small or large) without shouting ONE ZAMBIA, and the crowed responding, ONE NATION!
Continue…
Glad to see that younger politicians are now realizing the GENIUS of what our OLD POLITICIANS engineered and championed—not everything that KK and his comrades did was without deep thought or of no social value. The current generation of politicians thought they can simply keep stumbling forward disregarding all that KK did—sometimes even insulting him for it. Now look, tribalism (and its ugly offshoots) has become an Albatross around their necks sinking their political careers.
A word of advise to HH if he wants to win the forth coming elections. There are only three people who can add value and bring votes to UPND and propel it to victory. These three names are, GBM, Sampa and Guy Scott. Of all the three, GS is the best, not because is a white man but he is the man easily identified with the popular late president- forget about past differences, pick him as your running mate and you have an easy victory. The beauty with GS is that he breaks tribal barriers, he is the neutral popular man with no tribal tag. GBM and Sampa can also help in that they would somehow also stabilize the northern vote for UPND. The resultant of picking these two is that it may lead to an improved fortune for the party in PF strongholds. Another plus is that GBM has got the financial…

muscle to put in a splendid campaign challenge minus depending on the party resources while Sampa is popular among the youth and is a good organiser.
If HH does not go with any of the above, then we might as well forget for good of ever taking over. C Banda is a good man and an intellectual at the same time, but it is not about intellectuals this time around, its about survival! The Doc, is not a well known politician among the masses and not capable of bringing in financial resources as GBM is capable of. Nawakwi is also great, she has built a solid foundation already among the grassroots, question is, would she agree acting second fiddle to HH once more? Maureen is damned good and very intelligent but picking her will bring the Bantu Batantwe talk from the PF during the…
#Cont.
during the campaigns and see the northern vote dwindle!
With ECL having govt machinery at his disposal and knowing how uncaring the PF is when it comes to deeping deeper into govt confers, Its Guy Scott, GBM, Sampa or never for UPND!!

IT’S A CASE OF LUCIFER CONDEMNING SIN AND SINNERS. THIS IS ELECTION TIME. HH WILL BE HEARD UN INSTITUTIONALLY, CONDEMNING TRIBALISM AT WEDDINGS AND FUNERALS TO INDIRECTLY DEAL WITH HIS TRIBALISM STANCE. HE WILL NOT CONDEMN IT IN THE NAME OF UOND AND HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS UPND AND HH FLOURISHES ON TRIBALISM. FEW DAYS FROM NOW WHEN ASKED TO CONDEMN TRIBALISM, HE WILL RUSH TO MOUNT SINAI TO ANNOUNCE THAT HE ALREADY CONDEMNED IT. THE OTHER THING LEFT IS LIFTING BABIES AND BEING CLOSE TO DISABLED CHILDREN. WATCH HIM.
HH HIMSELF LOOKS TOO MUCH UNDER PREASURE THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME HE WILL COME CLOSE TO TALKING AGAINST TRIBALISM WHICH HE HAS NEVER DONE IN HIS LIFE APART FROM USING IT FOR POLITICAL AND PERSONAL MILLAGE. CHECK HIS BODY LANGUAGE BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER SAYING WHATEVER HE SAID AGAINST TRIBALISM.
WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE DUE?
THERE IS NEVER FOOD IN HIS FRIDGE….Arnish!
Our president
Viva HH
You are very tribal iwe ci Tembo!
campaign at the weddings…
This is reported and the journalist may have in his reporting failed to capture the right terminology to use and the spirit HH delivered his speech! I don’t believe it was condemnation but advice that tribe should not be divisive!
There is no tribalism in zambia,apart from the pre election tribal talks and die off after an election. Zambians are now bored about songs of tribalism and privatisation being championed by pf.
It is there in the employment of tr..bsmates and especially among the t.ongas
Beautiful couple. Is this the guy who was previously homosexual? Has he now been cured?
Your mum and sister helped him to distinguish right hole from wrong one.
LOL!! Folosho you must be proud of your mum and sister. They cured a gay guy 🙂
No BA foloshi it’s not him who is gay but his half-brother..
This tribalism talk was started by Miles Sampa and then picked up by Guy Scott, Davies Chama, Mumbwe Phiri and Lungu himself.
HH has never preached on tribal lines like the pf leaders all they do is accuse him.
When it comes to who occupies the Presidency, the T-word has been used for the last 50yrs by one group of people. KK at one point resigned for one night because of the same. It was pumped up a notch with the coming on the scene of Mazoka’s overwhelming acceptance by all zambians. The man was demonized,humiliated & sent to an early grave. The same treatment was given to Levy, who they had initially thought was going to be their cabbage. What HH is going thru some of us old enough have seen before. Lungu is slowly being consumed by the same. The challenge now is for right thinking zambians is to rise up & fight the T-word at every occasion. Congrats Andy jr & Lucy.
For them when one is in the position to employ, all they think of is employing T.ngas. be careful you people otherwise muzalila if yu make the mistake of putting them there
Tribalism is the only campaigning strategy(propaganda) the PF has against the Zambians, but it is so sad that pf has continued to use this tool even when it bounders on the unit & piece this country has enjoyed for a long time now.
Don’t even say PF…say Bembas and some Easterners!
If yu want PF to stop, first stop yo tribal.ism of emplopying only yo tr.ibsma.te. Also stop hating other tribes like Bembas. If yu do that then others will not see yu as being tr.bal
Hichilema needs advising on dressing…how do you wear a cut throat collared bold striped shirt with a patterned with a big knot on an ill fitting suit?
Mr. Jay Jay it appears you want HH to see his life through your spectacles. It also appears you are idealess or data free. However, your opinion should and must be esteemed. One Zambia one Jesus.
And his legs looked small in that suit of his.
What do u become when
a)If men from a certain tribe/race/ethnicity steals from u every time what do u do when people speaking that language approach u?
b) What do u do if every time u attend an interview men from a particular tribe/race/ethnicity discriminates against u?
c) If men from a particular tribe/race/ethnicity impregnate your sisters, daughters & refuse to take responsibility?
d) If men from a particular tribe/race/ethnicity are the only ones that use insults towards u
e) If men from a particular tribe/race/ethnicity demands that u stop speaking in your mother tongue & switch to his?
TRIBALISTS ARE NOT BORN, THEY ARE MADE
Kubota kasimbi aaka musa.
HH this Mazoka Jr is not your son. HH you can not allow your son or dota marry a bemba. You know and we know it. So dont be a opportunist. Just enjoy free dinner.
When they said only Tongas can be UPdn President you were quite, when Munkombwe said it is time for Tongas to rule, you were quite.
Mazoka was a nationalist, the values he taught his children hence this marriage. On the other HH is a tribalist who will never allow his children to marry a Bemba FULL STOP.
@panrialist
Where were you when Lungu, chikwanda, chama called on the Northern boating block to vote for mbuya Lungu and that Eastern Province votes for mwana wamuvumo?
Where were you when Luapula , Northern and Muchinga provinces combined gave HH less than 2000 votes?!!!
People, you need to show maturity in your thinking. This is childish.
People like you don’t deserve space on social or other media. You gave nothing to contribute, Is this boy your son? No wonder you were not even invited!
Ewe @itizi tula, us we did Our job by voting for the late Andy, But balimwibilafye ama votes, Point of correction Guys, Andy was not a Tonga But a Zambian and that’s how he lived life, unlike balya bambi, bwafya. Baisafye mu party, tabaliko nokubako eko emufyashi Andy alepanga party, Batanfya Saki! But Y? Bcoz he was not Tonga. We are not blind buddy! Just bring back Saki back to Upnd pesidency before he dies and apologise for chasing him from the party he made with his friend, chapwa, then Upnd can win a lot of soul back. Can’t you learn from the late Levy, he so he had stolen from Sata, so he made sure they reconcilled before they both died. It that happens, then most of us will be mute we it comes to T word and Upnd. Its not late, good luck.
HH was a major financier of UPND under Mazoka you dull twat. Keep quiet if you do not know anything.
I agree with this statement, I can only believe HH has reformed if he apologizes to Bo Saki and steps aside! HH is the man he ignited tribal politics in Zambia cause he ascended to that seat by overthrowing an acting Vice President through shouts of only a Tonga can succeed Mazoka as UPND President. Instead of him condemning that he happily rode onto that sentiment and took over the UPND leadership chasing Bo Saki, Bo Lubinda and Bo Mama Inonge Wina. So he needs to apologize to the country for championing tribal policts before pretending at a wedding just because he saw that the beautiful young couple have crossed his self created barrier of tribalism!!!
What is the problem with HH? was it necessary to talk about tribalism which was not part of the wedding agenda! It seems what HH sees in every thing is tribalism.
HH spoiled the couple’s day. They needed to be tutored on marriage. Not tribalism they are over that. By the way who is and was Lucy’s father? The article talks about Anderson’s fat her.. What about Lucy?
Nice couple! And being the son of our very own non-tribal Andy Mazoka they have sent a loud message to all hardcore tri…balls.
Coming to HH, that statement was long coming from his controversial tr…ball election in 2005. It had to take Andy Jr’s wedding to beautiful Chanda to extract the clarification that we have been asking for for more than ten years now.
HH now needs (must) to come out similarly on a political platform, his usual press statements can do. We need him to disown the tri…ball statement in 2005 that uPMD can only be led by a tonga which has never been been denied to this day. Short of that the tri…ball stigma will stick harder.
Just to encourage you HH, that’s a good start, now walk the talk!

I have NOT seem my post too. WHY.

………………….
What nonsense is this? This is not the first inter tribal marriage in this country. As far back as 1985 one of my friends had birthday party for his 5 year old boy. I dropped my spouse and kids – we are married from different tribes. There were more than ten families in attendance and all of them -mark my words- were mixed marriages. There were kids with names like Mutinta Zulu, Misozi Nyambe, Mwangala Bwalya.
Mazoka and Chanda agreed to invite HH to their wedding ceremony in order to shame tribalists.
So this is when Mazoka’s son is marrying? How old is this boy? Anyway congrats to the young couple. As for the HH critics, there’s nothing wrong with what HH said. Leave the man alone and one day he will be your president.
Chachine we munandi bakapapa
Oh dear, so how bad is this tribalism thing in Zambia that there is no moment that passes without an article on tribalism. I’m not sure HH should have said anything about tribalism at such an occasion. And now the wedding will be remembered for a tribalism speech… much have been awkward for the couple to hear all that talk. I think the occasion spoke for itself.
And I doubt one wedding moment would have a defining factor in the so called tribalism cancer… my missus is but that doesn’t mean that tribalism has ended in Zambia. Obviously I acknowledge that one good moment is a good thing towards eradicating the ‘cancer’.
Thanx Maverick for giving bobo the low down. The problem with these guys & their reliance on oral history is they expect us to believe they loved Andy Sr.
We remember the “stolen cattle at muzoka” story. Similar to the privatisation story they are peddling now. RB knows them well. Just check how they will fight for running mate position in their panga family. Already they are threatening their “cousins” with all sorts of actions if they are not nominated.
Actually its Saimbwende I meant to thanx but Maverick your post is also progressive.
@bobo, just as well that HH won the presidential election after Andy passed on to take charge of UPND, otherwise this party would have been history by now had Saki carried the day. Immediately after losing to HH, Saki formed his own party and carried a lot of UPND members with him including Given Lubinda, Batuke Imenda etc. We all know what happened to Saki’s party. He failed to provide leadership and the party died a natural death as his members went back to UPND while others like Given went to join PF. The rest is history. UPND has now grown to be the number 1 opposition party in a very hostile environment. That is leadership for you.
You right Saimbwende, Sak ihas too how much association he has with tricky rich characters in our society aor high profile client money swindling scams. He would have been very easy to paint as dirty and the UPND would have been dead by now. Saki was a darling in Livingstone mainly through family ties, he easily won Livingstone Central in 2001, barely scraped trough in 2006 on ULP/PF pact. Lost in lamentably on PF ticket in 2011 only for PF to win with Lawrence in a bye-election.
go to ZWD to listen to the recording OP made of HH telephone conversation with a chief, for those who cant understand tonga it has been translated for you. This the recording PF were queuing up accusing HH of tribalism.
Make up your own mind.

Just here to read the comments!

Jealous, hatred and evy will be like embers in you. You can hate even on Sunday.
If i may ask who is the father to hh!
I will love to know coz the man doesn’t talk about it,
But why should he talk about it?
Who is the father to Lungu? I would love to know coz the man doesn’t talk about it.
Just vote for him you stupid *****! Do you know your father? ***** Gees!
What’s your problem? Talk about your own father, not someone’s father.
Jealous, hatred and evy will be like embers in you. You can hate even on Sunday
HH beings me to a place where I ask myself to say does he go through what he says.1 this is the man with tribalism written on his face 2 if HH claims is not tribal why has he failed to apologiz to Sakwiba over what transpired when Mazoka died. 3 Ever since HH was placed by his Tonga people he has never renounced such acts. 4 what type of a person turns a wedding into a rally”selfishness and greedness”
Hakainde you can’t remove the tag that surrounds you.
We mbu shi we…have your read todays Post where Chikwanda is encouraging Easterners to vote for their own..yet you are as quiet as a fart about it.Never has HH ever towed that line.You continue to label him for what he is not.Go and mop the floors at KFC and pick trash you ugly skeleton
The Hutu skull aka judo is back full of hatred.and bitterness.for HH.
It’s a well known fact that this coming general elections willbe the most expensive exercise, however the result is a giving. Edgar Lungu will emerge victorious by a landslide.
HH and his UPND hasn’t managed their affairs intelligently. For example in Choma the people don’t want the incumbent MP they prefer a Clinical Officer Moono instead. Cornillius’ game plan of sabotaging the PF government had backfired.
Furthermore, cadres like Hon. Nkombo has foolishly allowed themselves to be sacked in…..in confirming that their party is a tribal one….hence like it or not the next elections will be decided on tribe and not anything else. People like GBM will be viewed as traitors of the BEMBELAND.
In short HH and his UPND are not smart politicians buy proud people of their Heritage,…

panAfrican you ar a stupid fool without brains fo how long ar u going to cling to politics of tribalism.show maturity once it too much of your foolishness.
i forgot congrats ba LT for the first time you hav post something positive about hh or is it bcos he sued you?what a supprise weldone kip it up.
Hh nalubana nomba there is no moment that he speaks with dwelling on tribalism he cannot he is tribal that is what he is the man knows how he assumed party presidency it is the ghosts that will haunt him permanently.the couple were innocently marrying and there he is bringing in triba madness instead of a massage of encouragement forthe mmarried couple
It is a true fact that Tonga will never vote for any other tribe other than Tonga, why? It’s on record and the January 2015 being the latest fact just in case you are in doubt. Another free data on Tonga is this, all their MPS (representatives of the people) are all Tonga from Southern Province. So this should tell you more about these minority ethnic group. If you want yourself and your children’s generation to be perpetual slaves in their own country then vote for the tribal party UPND and HH. It’s themselves who have affirmed this that UPND is for Tonga only and make no mistake, they mean just that. Just ask anyone who had worked in an institution led bt a Tonga and find out how they openly employ only Tonga without shame!
Thankx young man atleast we can have a new lesson of one zed one nation although u invited a wrong man.
Mazoka was not tribal hence pipo liked him.
I think the man just forced himself to make a political fortune.
Indicators of being a tribal captain are there for zed to see eg he calls bembas monkeys,he is always advocating for divisions puting western,nwp and sp to be on one side making them hate bembas and others.
Today u say this, tomorrow u will be in nwp telling them bembas are stealing your money to build muchinga province what type of a president are u who can be causing pipo to hate each other and pretend he is like this shame.
Once called a which the name remains especially when one continues mingling with fellow whiches. Bembas in sp,wp and nwp stay with fear because of…
Don’t use a Lunda name, you bigot. When are you going to stop your hate statements and behave like a normal human being?
You tell them what to do if they want to rule Zambia and they call you an imbecile. Look its not me who uttered those tri…ball words 11 years ago that only a tonga can be president of uPMD, ask Chijani. It is also not me who said last year in Choma that time had come for a tonga to rule Zambia, ask Munkombwe and HH who even praised Munkombwe for thise words. As leader of uPMD, HH has not renounced those words, which makes it an official party position.
@ipikwa Eyi udimuchi inyi, ami ndimwina zambia mu lunda kufuma kukanyama eyi kumuka kudi eyi chidemona.
Call a spade a spade not a spoon just bcos they resemble. Actually the story has been cut.
All u want is presses on this tribal captain not negatives we ve to talk where things go wrong whether its ecl or anyone else so far ecl is the best matured,ready to listen,forgiving,tolerance,christian,etc not where u are told say this u end up insuling just his followers are
HH talking to a Tonga Chief;
HH: Chief

Chief: Good morning my president, my boy or my God!
HH: laughs. How are you doing?
Chief: Nothing much. How are you in there in Lusaka, in fact not Lusaka but the whole world?
HH: I went to your relatives in Mwinilunga, they love us badly oh chief Hamusonde. I arrived Last night.
Chief:Is that so?
HH: Ma ma ma. They will by pass you chief if you start going round in circles like you do
Chief: Mr president yes, you there you can be disappointed. Now here the main problems is poverty among chiefs. Now I confronted them. Really confronted them. Now this relative of yours [Chieftainess] Choongo, can you write her off completely.
HH: Which one?
Chief: Choongo. She is a nuisance
HH: from…
When Tongas and Bembas unit and work together over a just cause, results are always beautiful and worth of envy by the world. Unfortunately, we have allowed the devil to destroy this God-designed harmony through selfish individuals. Congratulations Mazoka and Chanda; let us defy the spirit of division.
This is not first time a Tonga has married a Bemba. There are hundreds of thousands of chilldren born of this combination. Even Dr Ngosa Simbyakula is a product of such marriages. So, the headline should be toned down.

Congrats Andy! My former roommate when we were in Australia. May your marriage be filled with blessings and prosperity.
Is Andy okay in his picture looks frail….
Why are uPMD cadres complaining about tri…ball ism? Not too long ago, or even now when it suits them, they have called bembas as monkeys. Actually the motivation of a tonga president arose out their hatred for bembas. Now they have realized that they cannot get anywhere on their own, but it’s too late, the tri…ball stigma is here to stay and will always cost you the elections. Cosmetics like GBM will not help you, GBM does not carry bembaland with him or behind him, he is just a small fish in a sea of many fishes. Just a waste of time and resources that GBM, I hope he is financing himself while in uPMD because otherwise if it’s HH he will regret the wasted expenditure. Basa naunka mebo.
Let’s try for one moment to ignore tribal talk and see what some parties have left to offer? I suspect something next to zero will be left on the table.
WHAT PROMPTED HIM TO CONDEMN TRIBALISM WHEN HE WAS JUST DRINKING WHISKY. I HATE THIS GUY WHO CA NOT EVEN SMILE WHEN HE DOES YOU SEE A DEVIL’S SMILING
Yambayamba,
Without belittling our old politicians’ role in liberating this country, the tradition of inter-tribal marriages was not necessarily a product of Kaunda’s One Zambia One Nation slogan or any of his policies. This predates 1964 and was a product of the process of urbanization which started on the Copperbelt in the 1920s and creation of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland in 1953. Those of us born and brought up on the Copperbelt long before independence have memories of inter-tribally mixed families in our neighborhoods before 1964. In our own families, our cousins, brothers, and sisters married people from different tribes.
It was fashionable in those days to have a so-called Christian name and an African surname name like Stanley Tembo and yet this person had a Bemba mother and Ngoni father. I had a childhood friend whose father was a Tumbuka from Lundazi and mother a Sala from Mumbwa, but at home their language of communication was Bemba. One of our neighbors – a Lenje woman who had the notoriety of having married and remarried many times – had children with Lala, Henga (Malawi), Lunda (Luapula), Bemba, and Ngoni fathers. These marriage patterns were very common in most parts of the Copperbelt long before Kaunda ascended to the Presidency of Zambia in 1964.
I think he wanted to show and tell other tribes that Tongas can also marry from other Tribes other than their own. And should he appoint a Tonga as his running mate, you are surely going to see the backlash.
It may be too heavy for you to swallow, but get it from me – Flight HH 2016 will crush terribly again but this time beyond recognition. You need to bring someone with a caliber of Anderson Mazoka. Please, begin to prepare your hearts for an even heavier disappointment after 11th August, 2016. It’s Pf and ECL again until you get healed from your tribalism.

hh was actually following the wisdom of Chama…. HH recognised he importance of unit in this country. AND besides he was just invited as a guest speaker at the wedding….”Possible that Chanda gave as a condition to Andy that the Guest speaker should be the Tribalist hh so that she can feel comfortable when in Southern province. And for sure hh was dwarfed … just look at him in a sorry too short a jacket. Ni kachema full time. Ba millionaire tabaishiba no kufwala.
There is no difference between Bemba and Tonga.
Can someone tell me, is Hakainde Hichilema (HH) related to Mrs Mazoka? I see some resemblance in the two. Is she his elder sister or cousin or what? Look at the picture above and you will know what I mean. Is this how Mrs Mazoka orchestrated HH taking over from her late husband so that everything is kept in the family? If this was the case, then the people of Southern province have been taken for a ride too long. How long will this charade continue?
Comment HH is humble, wise & decent. What we need in is time & era is leadership that is wise. In future there will be no land called Zambia because even our land is being given away under the pretext of investment.
Meanwhile, the perpetuators of tribalism are well known to every well-meaning Zambian. They say the exact opposite of what they are.
