Outspoken Chief Government Spokesman Chishimba Kambwili says most leaders of opposition political parties in Zambia are mad.
And Mr Kambwili has attacked the people of Southern Province for their alleged tribal voting saying Tongas would even vote against Jesus Christ if he stood against UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema in an election.
In a wide ranging interview when he featured on last evening’s edition of Sunday Interview on ZNBC TV, Mr Kambwili said the majority of opposition leaders in Zambia are mad people. He said the only thing remaining is to run checks to determine their levels of insanity.
Mr Kambwili explained that the opposition leaders are failing to appreciate development that the PF administration has brought because they are mad.
“These are mad people. They cannot see what we have done over the last four years because they are mad people, all we cannot know is their levels of madness,” Mr Kambwili said.
He warned Zambians to be careful with what he called propaganda against President Edgar Lungu by the opposition using the privately run Post Newspaper.
“The Post have never written anything positive about President Lungu from the time he won the adoption process for the PF presidency, that is why this is not surprising that they have now joined forces with the opposition to write negative stories right, left and centre about Edgar Lungu,” Mr Kambwili said.
He charged that the PF administration is the best performing in the region having managed to attain average GDP growth rates of above five percent.
“You tell me which country in the region has been growing at more than five percent? The average GDP growth rate in the world is around 2 percent but the PF has consistently beat that target since we came into power. In 2011, we grew the economy by 6.1%, in 2012, we grew the economy by 6.7% and in 2013, we grew the economy by 5.7% and in 2014, we grew the economy by 6.6% but we saw a reduction in 2015 as projections are showing that the economy only grew at 5.5% in 2015 because of the implication of energy shortages and low copper prices.”
“This country is full of unreasonable opposition which keep blaming Edgar Lungu for everything. If the opposition were reasonable, they wouldn’t spend all their time blaming Government for the energy crisis when the entire region is facing the same crisis,” Mr Kambwili charged.
He added, “the Energy crisis is all over the region. Tell me which country where the President is being blamed for the energy crisis, it is only in Zambia where day in and day out instead of sympathising with Zambians over load shedding, the opposition is busy occupying itself with how to get to State House even using a back door.”
“The PF has performed wonders. We can only compare it to UNIP in terms of development. It is only that Zambians are being told lies by the opposition using propaganda as you know lies travel faster than the truth. This is the reason I am saying that the opposition is a bunch of people who are mad. That is madness to blame President Lungu for everything. It is the only the level of madness that we are yet to ascertain.”
He continued, “In my language we say, Pachalo takwaba ukuwamya (On earth, you cannot satisfy everyone) and this is the reason why man killed Jesus Christ. The PF has delivered, if you threw a stone, there are 99.9% chances, it will land on a PF project.”
Mr Kambwili further castigated the people of Southern Province for what he called tribal voting.
“These people have been voting for the same party since 2001. They are so tribal such that if Jesus Christ stood against their tribesman, they would reject Jesus. If a stone was to contest against a candidate from any part of the region, these people would vote for a stone.”
On the mining job losses, Mr Kambwili said the PF Government has done very well to minimise the job cuts.
He cited Mopani Mines which he said initially wanted to cut off 8,000 jobs but reduced the number to around 4,000 after Government’s interventions.
But pressed by Presenter Grevazio Zulu over his statements that no single mine job will be lost, Mr Kambwili denied ever using that statement.
“I never said there would be no mine jobs lost, all I said what that laying off workers will be the last resorts and thereafter we directed mining companies to find ways of reducing their operational costs than reducing the labour force.
He said Zambians must giver the PF Government more time to fully implement its development programs.
Mr Kambwili said the party has spent the last four years in Government planning its development program which should be allowed to be implemented over a longer period.
“Development is not magic, it’s not abracadabra. We need more time for us to deliver.”
Mr Kambwili warned Zambians against developing a habit of changing Governments every five years.
“Changing Governments every five years can bring about political instability which can scare away investors because investor want policy stability,” he said.
I think Kambwili spends too much time reading former information minister & MMD government spokeperson Dora Siliya’s note books. Or What Dora Siliti used to call PF stuck too deep in Kambwili’s head. “PF & Sata are a gang of mad people”, yaa there still some crazy original PF left.
This Kambwili, a representative of Edgar Lungu is a disgrace. The appointing authority should act to stop the hate speech being propagated by this man. How can he use ZNBC, a public institution supported by our taxes to attack an innocent citizen who ZNBC will not give an opportunity to defend himself. Kambwili’s display yesterday was an assault on all Zambians. One could not help but feel sorry for Grevasio. Mr President, if you are not complicity please show Kambwili the door
Those PF projects which collapsed in rains and their Edgar went to inspect?
And why should be people start throwing stones to see if they will land at a PF project?
It is ok for HH to attack govt, even calling the President some one who has never run anything apart from eating clients money.
Now Kambwili does the same they start crying foul.
I find kambwili’s tone to be full of bitterness than that of the man, HH, they accuse to be bitter. So, kambwili thinks by attacking Tongas the rest of the country will follow his foolishness to attack them. Surely who’s mad here?
That was hate speech by the PF Propaganda Chief Chishimba Kambwili; and he wants Southern province voters to support his useless PF party,what a joke!!
Kambwili and his fellow PF crooks are mad.
UPND just ignore kambwili’s tribal accusations. He has nothing to prop up the dwindling political fortunes of PF and the only trick he can use is the tribal tug which holds no water in all respects. Statistics don’t lie. What Kambwili wants is to cause hatred between Tongas and Bembas so that PF can be the beneficiary of the result. Just keep on posting statistics from previous elections which prove Kambwili wrong.
Anyone, especially people coming from outside Zambia, who have taken time to check the political debates going on here in Zambia especially on social media would think that the people of Nega Nega in Southern Province are murderers or they have caused some kind of political crime.
This is because our friends from PF who are mostly from the North ( Luapula, Northern, Muchinga) have made Nega Nega a tool for their own political propaganda.
They have shouted about it so hard that they have made the common mind believe that the voting pattern in Nega Nega was unique, unprecedented, and very tribal in nature, something which is not entirely true.
Many have not even taken time to check the figures of the election results from Nega Nega…
Many have not even taken time to check the figures of the election results from Nega Nega and many do not know that what is being referred to is a Poling centre and not a constituency.
Tribal politics and tribal voting patterns have been there for sometime not only in the south but everywhere.
But the worst kind of tribal voting was first witnessed in the Northern circuit during the 2011 general elections. The North turned up in huge numbers to vote for Michael Sata while Hakainde Hichilema was conspicuously rejected.
This is something PF cadres will never mention; you will never hear about the Malole formula even when the voting pattern in that constituency was typically very tribal.
Take for example in the 2011 general elections; HH got 1,350 votes from…
Take for example in the 2011 general elections; HH got 1,350 votes from the who Luapula province and about 2, 211 votes from Northern province (then combined with Muchinga).
On the contrary Sata got 40,764 votes from Southern province. This was a shame and a serious show of tribalism by the people of the North.
But what makes it even more shameful is the hypocrisy of the same people who keep talking about the Nega Nega formula when their voting pattern was more than tribal themselves.
That is why I conclude that our brothers from the Northern circuit are politically mean. They are quick to point out other people’s tribalism leaving out their own.
Of course there is a growing number of brothers from the north who have come back to their senses and have come…
Of course there is a growing number of brothers from the north who have come back to their senses and have come to accept the fact that after the demise of Sata, the only credible leader who can make meaningful development for the country is HH. The numbers keep growing but a lot of them are still in denial. Tribal stereotyping is still inherent in them.
Now and again, we hear the likes of Bowman Lusambo shouting hard about tribal voting in SP. Despite being in MMD, another opposition party, Lusambo is heard more criticising HH than Lungu.
Such is the level of tribal hate by some of these brothers. Actually, they just support Lungu for convenience; a tribal cousin to them is a lesser evil. Given an opportunity, they would have loved to have their own be at the helm.
Kambwili…. Dude watch your language.
You have made contributions. However a lot of programs that have are maturing were started in the MMD government. As a matter of fact, you hijacked some of them and renamed them.
Don’t castigate a particular group of tribe. This is were politics gets Mad.
The Bible says Do not use the name of the Lord in vain. Christians should stay away from making inflamatory comments and accusations on Tribalism that segregate others but instead should be uniting the country which is called positive reinforcement according to principles of behavior change and faith in action according to the Bible. Christians need to learn from Rwanda religious leaders who were on trial at ICC for the same. Christians should refuse to be used in hate speech and should learn from the Rwanda Religious Incident because not even Christians are exempt from ICC. We need to examine our lives as Christians because if hate speech and tribal accusations are being made in the name of Christianity then either as Christians we are compromised,hypocrites, lost our saltiness, our…
lost our saltiness, our lights are dim, we fear men rather than God, we are men pleasers and not God Pleasers ,we are too silent to provide Godly direction and our silence is being misunderstood for consent or we are irrelevant. Opposition Parties and their members should refuse to be provoked by distractions and should instead focus on issues and uniting the country.
Tongas voting against Jesus if he stood against hh……lol
Tongas voting for a stone from southern province if someone from any other region of the country stood against it….
Wow!!!…this is a new level of tribal voting
Mr Kambwili, what will you do when PF loses? Think beyond today. No one knows what tomorrow brings.
Cant believe this man!!! Can someone please sue this guy for hate speech. What kind of hatred is this!! PF supporters have been voting for their people since 2011. Who is more tribal? Go check the voting pattern and ECZ and see who is more tribal.
On a second thought, please dont sue him. Rather forgive and ignore him. He is representing his master. If you wanna know how your neighbours feel about you, just ask their kids. Kambwili is simply displaying his master’s desire. The fact that Davies Chama, Mumbi Phiri and Chishimba Kambwili have insulted and degraded the Tonga people and the President is just looking simply means he (Mr Lungu) approves/endorses these insults and hate speech for his leverage. Every dog has his day!! Where is Kaunda, Chiluba, Mwanawasa, RB, Sata?
This article is out of line, Kambwili should apologize, this is nonsense coming from him? if anything, PF are the ones that seem mad. a party with no vision? they want to win votes based on the roads they never even initiated.
What a shame for a party to have such a useless spokes person. shows how dull current Zambian leadership has/. people just talk rubbish to be seen as talking? well we are in 2016. soon these fat bellies will have no jobs.
What a shame for Kambwili to even use The name of the lord for politics? . watch your tongue Kambwili, never use the name Jesus for nonsense.. God will humble you..
I think we have taken this thing called peace for granted in Zambia. There is just need to fight so that this tribal hatred can cease. Look, as for me am neither tonga nor bemba but why is PF creating tension on these two tribes. Why are they trying to pull strings between two peaceful tribes. This is wrong. We are all one and there has been intermarriages since the inception of one zambia one nation.
Some of this tribal talk is really getting way out of hand! I feel, as political leaders, they should be very mindful of how they discuss issues of “tribe” and its politics. HH and ‘his’ UPND are no better themselves either. They have had plenty of opportunities to deal with this problem/perception of being a tribal/regional Party once and for all . But they have either chosen to keep quiet at crucial moments or done nothing when confronted with it within their ranks. So when HH/UPND talk about this issue, it sort of comes across as phony and hypocritical. It just doesn’t sound genuine. Unfortunately for UPND, other political Parties (first the MMD, and now PF) have picked up on that and capitalized.
Continue…
I think the biggest mistake UPND has made so far is to IGNORE the TRIBAL CLOUD which birthed HH’s political career. Yes, this might be uncomfortable for UPND to talk about or genuinely deal with. But by ignoring it in the hope that people will simply forget about it has been politically catastrophic to HH and UPND. People have long memories and no amount of spin will help if people don’t feel you being remorseful and repentant. To make matters worse, the voting patterns seen in Southern Province in the recent election can only make UPND’s work tough to try and exorcise its tribal tag—FAIR OR NOT, THIS THE REALITY UPND HAS TO DEAL WITH!
Wanted to call him Goebbels but I realised that would be an insult to the Nazi spin chief. Thickneck is the worst scum to walk this country. At this rate I don’t see any Zambia after 11/08 unless we do something drastic to stop this rot. This is what we have gotten for electing lazy bum Kadansa. Any serious leader would have fired this piece of sh!t. Even his analogy shows the levels of depravity in the man. Why would Jesus come to compete in an election with man?
PF have managed to attain seats in Southern (Livingstone), Western (Nalolo), North-Western (Zambezi), the perceived UPND strong holds. Now has UPND ever gotten any seat in Muchinga, Northern or Luapula, the PF strongholds, the answer is a big no…..so who are more tribal, this Leopard Kabwili’s triebe-mates or the people of Southern/Western & North-Western? Kabwili is simply a Kaponya, Jerabo cadre who does not qualify even to be councillor. He is typical tribalist whose only hope of his party hanging on to power is playing cards of tribalism.
Whats wrong with my post, not to be shown, lets be serious naimwe ba Lusaka Times!!
IF U REALLY WATCHED, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT SOME DETAILS IN THIS ARTICLE ARE COOKED. EXAMPLE: The phrase “A Bunch of mad people”…
ECZ 2011 Presidential election results (‘000):
Northern : Sata 242,5 v HH 2,9
Luapula : Sata 151,8 v HH 1,7
Eastern : Rupiah 233,5 v HH 10,7
Southern : Sata 24,6 v HH 268,7
But there are no lies in what Kambwili said.
It is very true that Tongas cannot vote for any other person except a fellow Tonga
They want all other tribes to vote for a Tonga but not their tribe to vote for a Bemba or Ngoni
We shall see.
Dear Kambwili, you seem not to understand the development you are referring to is the genesis of the economic ills of Zambia. Yes, the roads and other infrastructure which have been done are welcome. The major issue is that your level of borrowing is costly and the cost will remain when your political life is long gone. Which is a shame for you and your party that our children will refer to you and your party as the ones responsible for their economic suffering. On the tribal remarks nothing unusual having come from you who is so tribal that you are not ashamed to bring in Jesus, our Lord, into your strangle to remain in power. Recall do not mock our Lord.
And these are our leaders. Shame
@Debo; Shame is what I felt reading this article.
A National leader went on National television and said that? There are no other word to add to your comment except to reiterate. SHAME
No, Kambwili is actually NOT one of our leaders.
He is one of the PF clowns PRETENDING to be a “leader”.
Anyone who has listened to the rubbish he has come up with will have no doubts about who is mad here
The fact of the matter is that PF is DIRECTLY responsible for the current power load shedding. Kafue Gorge WAS CANCELLED BY THEM as soon as they were elected. FOUR YEARS LATER they are making big noise by Lungu “commissioning” this self same project!
Kambwili, you are a LIAR or MAD or BOTH. THAT is the truth of the matter!
THE OTHER DAY IT WAS HIS UNCLE CHIKWANDA WHO WAS URGING THE PEOPLE OF EASTERN PROVINCE TO VOTE ON TRIBAL LINES. HE EVEN WENT ON TO CONFIRM THAT IN LUAPULA, MUCHINGA AND NORTHERN PROVINCES THEY VOTED ON TRIBAL LINES. TO THEM THAT WAS NOT TRIBALISM. THESE PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK.
For the tongas on voting its true what kambwili said.we need to be one Zambia one nation.dont vote like that again
Mr. Real – multi party democracy started in 1990, the first election was in 1991. Check how the voting in southern and western provinces for FTJ’ s MMD was despite the fact that FTJ more or less usurped the MMD presidency from the first MMD chairman Arthur Wina, Mama Inonge’s husband. Fast forward to about 1994, National Party led by one Humphrey Mulemba was formed as splinter group from MMD and quite a good MMD parliamentarians crossed the floor and bye-elctions were held. NP won most areas where elections were held first in the south, west, north western and central circuit and was gaining moment. When the elections moved to Kasama/Chinsali/ Isoka East two notable casualties in was one Kapwepwe’s daughter in Chinsali (?) and bashi NONO lost due to FTJ and MCS tribal campaign -…
When the elections moved to Kasama/Chinsali/ Isoka East two notable casualties in was one Kapwepwe’s daughter in Chinsali (?) and bashi NONO lost due to FTJ and MCS tribal campaign -…”balehitisaha ba Bemba”. Fast forward 1996, Southern Province voted overwhelmingly for FTJ ahead of Mulemba of NP from Northwestern Province because they considered FTJ a better leader. Eastern Power voted UNIP 100% because of the Kaunda/Grey Zulu/ Kamaga factor. Come 2001. Enter UPND and Mazoka, all provinces voted for him except Luapula, Northern (now Northern and Muchinga) and Copperbelt Urban just cos he was Tonga. How many UPND MPs are in Northern, Muchinga and Luapula Province? You mean there are no good Bembas in UPND not to be voted for??
Mr. (un) Real.
You need to check your source of information instead giving wrong data. There are only a few provinces in Zambia that don’t vote on tribal lines eg Lusaka and Central Province. PF under MCS won its first in Mporokoso Northern Province because of it being near his home area. Do you remember the famous Rebel MPs under PF? Which constitute where they coming from? Have you seen the voting pattern of Northern and Muchinga Provinces under MCS? What difference is there between the voting pattern of Southern Province? This country is divide on tribal lines and one would expect the PF leadership will be in the forefront trying to unit the country. Maligning the tongas through this tactics will just make vote in masses against PF. Leadership calls for listening to those who don’t…
@ Truly Zambians, just admit that Voting the way Southern Province Voted was serious signs of Tribalism, call a spade a spade not a knife!! Even in places where PF has structures and has delivered development which they have never witnessed since independence, they still voted for a Party that has done literally nothing for them. How do you explain this kind of behavior? FACT…HH should seriously address this Tribal issue. I was surprised to hear Munkombwe preaching at one their Rallies that its time for Tongas to Rule and HH was even laughing where he was seated instead of him showing signs of disapproval. Shame!!
Chiluba never fought to be president, he was actually just forced to be there because MMD thought he was more popular and influential than most of them. Remember how he…
Facts extracted from ECZ 2011 Presidential election results (‘000):
Northern : Sata 242,5 v HH 2,9
Luapula : Sata 151,8 v HH 1,7
Eastern : Rupiah 233,5 v HH 10,7
Southern : Sata 24,6 v HH 268,7
Awe ba minister,this tribal talk is not befitting of your position.I support pf,but such statements are careless and uncalled for.
Mr. Kambwili is right about this one. Tongas are not your friends believe it or not. They would seriously vote for a stone or vote out Jesus Christ. PF make sure these people are nowhere near the corridors of power. PF do whatever you can with state machinery to bury UPND. Let UPND choose another leader from another tribe, maybe then we can let them rule.
Comment: Yes they can’t vote for Jesus Christ.
Well spoken kabwili on tongas. They don’t think with their minds but with their tribe
It’s VERY unfortunate that these are the people leading us. Is it any wonder we are where we are? He calls others mad because they have opposing views, He brings the Lord Jesus Christ in his uncouth speech and is busy dividing the nation by calling others tribal. Lets chuck these people out of office before they irreparably damage the country.
The only mad and retrogressive one is HH and his UPND. Kabimba is even better.
Scared of HH??
I can’t believe he said that and he is still a Minister and grz spokesperson. God what wrong have we done to end up with such imbeciles as our leaders?
Any Zedian wouldn’t be wrong to say, “here is one actual mad leader”?
What is worst, been called mad or been certified liar and corrupt?
I love Lungu cause God has provided people to speak on he’s behalf!! Over them voting out Jesus on HH is TRUE just check the percentage of Voting in southern province UPND 28000 PF 300 is that normal mean while in the copperbelt PF 13000 UPND 9000 which is reasonable!! Check yourselves
That is democracy, you vote for who you want. Why question people’s choice? Why don’t you also vote for your tribes mate. Mind you all the bembas, or Tongas alone cannot elect a president in this country. Stop supporting genocide promoting madmen.
If Copperbelt voted in 2015 without tribal or MCS bias, the figures would have been much higher for UPND cos HH is a much better manager of resources than ECL and the quality of life for Zambians would have been much than it is now.
So is copperbelt a Bemba land, iwe?
Stop lying and verify these ECZ 2011 Presidential election results (‘000):
Northern : Sata 242,5 v HH 2,9
Luapula : Sata 151,8 v HH 1,7
Eastern : Rupiah 233,5 v HH 10,7
Southern : Sata 24,6 v HH 268,7
Strange to hear the Chief Govt Spokesman championing tribalism on ZNBC and the President is okey with this? How many votes did HH get in Luapula, Northern, Muchinga and Eastern provinces during last year’s presidential elections for Mr Kambwili to demonise innocent people of Southern province? Two days ago, Mr Chikwanda was telling Easterns to vote for ECL because he is their own blood, was this remark not tribalism?
Its very clear that the tribalism remarks/ campaign is being championed by the PF as a tool to malign others who can not defend themselves through the same state media. We call upon the Republic President to criminalise Tribal remarks by any politician before we plunge the country into deeper tribal conflicts.
Grevazio Zulu is the most stupid interviewer I have ever seen on earth. He provoked the situation of tribal talk by chi kambwila and to ve the Tongas insulted but lacked the sense to compare the scenario with Luapula and muchinga regarding the voting pattern. Grevazio Zulu you are really stupid.
He tried to restrain the interviewee (his boss) by suggesting to him that he was getting too emotional, but the effect was the direct opposite. CK just went ballistic after that! I switched to Supersport to watch FA Cup highlights when this happened…
This Kambwili should just be fired, it seems Edgar Lungu supports his mouth diarrhea, with shiiit pouring out of his mouth every time he opens his ugly mouth and his shrink face. We are tired of this! It is one group of people that have tribalism running in their bloodstream that tag others tribal everyday!
See what Chikwanda said in Eastern Province, if it was someone else……………….ZNBC, Daily and Times would have been running head lines ….tribal this………tribal that! What is wrong with Bemba people kanshi?
No amount of pressure would force Easterners voting against their will. It is in Eastern where you find MPs from all three political parties ( PF,UPND and MMD).
Baba Kungwe.
UPND has no MP in Eastern, Northern, Muchinga and Luapula Provinces. They only have a counselor in Kasama. Check your facts again
Kambwili should really tame his tongue. and he call himself a leader, really??
I DONT KNOW WERE A NONE TRIBESMAN HAS EVER WON IN THIS COUNTRY
How I wish kambwili was our head of state..! We need people like him if we are to develop Zambia. The man calls a spade a spade…! Iam Tonga and I agree with kambwili….100%! Its high time we the people of southern province coexist with the rest of Zambia..!
Either you’re being sarcastic or you’re just uninformed. A leader is supposed to promote unity in the country AT ALL TIMES. A leader who uses divisive language like this is a demagogue, whose only interest is in his own personal ambition. It’s such language that plunges nations into civil wars and bloodshed, especially in Africa. Even if he believes tribalism is going on, his role is not to fan the flames, or pour gasoline on it, but to promote unity, and oneness. We’re all Zambians first, and our tribes come second. We should choose our leaders not on tribal lines or party lines, but on their qualifications.
I GATHER THE PRAYER & RECONCILIATION WAS JUST LIP SERVICE, & A SHEER WASTE OF TIME & MEAGRE RESOURCES AS USUAL!!
Anyway Vimbwili, have you looked in the mirror of late??? Staring back at you will be a Proper Ugly Madman!!
In fact, this is what is wrong with Zambia today, hence the country is quickly spiralling down, & turning into a big filthy “Pit L@trine”
What does one expect with Charlatans, Pimps, & Pirates like Vimbwili, being entrusted with the sober task of running our poor Country?? SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!!!
Yayaya. This man is ill informed. The GDP is bragging about doesn’t translate into something considering the level of poverty in our country. Is he aware that in developed countries people sometimes are given 1 to 2% salary increment and that means a lot. In Zambia when you give a salary increment of 10% what does that mean? GDP of 5% in Zambia and 0.1% in the USA are totally different because you are comparing a large economy to a small one. What the minister should focus on is to improve service delivery to the people rather than comparing things he doesn’t understand. PF please don’t embarrass us.
…hate speech cannot be described any better than this….the problem is that our journalists keep on misusing terminologies like ..’outspoken..’…outspoken Kambwili..outspoken Father Bwalya…out spoken Dora…etc..there is a big difference between being famous and being notorious tho both words mean being ‘widely known’….
…as a father, you can not go boasting around that you have built your family a good house…done a nice tarred drive way compounded with a good follower landscape…..bought family cars out of a bank loan which you may have no means to pay back as per agreement…meanwhile your family members apart from you look malnourished…my point is, the infrastructures widely talked about should be moving in tandem with the lower cost of living among ordinary…
…among ordinary citizenry…how can someone be proud of a plain record of 21% inflation from 7% within a short period..??…loosing a job is just as good as ‘being killed’…then how can anyone brag of achievement after condemning 4000 to their ‘graves’..??
…there is what we call inappropriate examples and Jesus example is just one of it….atleast Jesus would not have stood as a Lozi, Bemba or any other tribal for that matter….i also can only imagine how Jesus would have been rebuked, insulted by the likes of Father Bwalya, Mumbi Phiri, Chama and Kambwili himself had Jesus criticised ECL and the PF for letting his people suffer….
Thanks for this news ba Lusaka Times. I was really waiting for it for i wanted to air my grievances over Kambwili’s triba remarks. You see, ZNBC has become a too to demonize other tribes. And i dont know why Grevazio Zulu could fail to control Kambwili from insulting other tribes. I am a pure Bemba myself of Kasama and i dont approve Kambwili’s tribal utterances. The man is just a lunnatic who is trying to propagate war in Zambia but he wont acchieve in Jesus Name. I just want to take this opportunity to warn Chishimba Kambwili and ZNBC including the once strong but now weak one eyed man Grevazoio Zulu that there days are numbered. Very soon after 11 August this year, they are going to find themselves on the wrong side of the coin and they will have to account for tribal division that…
The truth hurts but that is reality ck used a very example especially that of a stone
this is the worst minister of ejaculation ever..grevazio..do your eeys see properly ..so you didn’t notice that bull dog or teddy bear was insulting other tribes..what on earth..!!nonsense..he’s such a useless coward..let people choose t5heir leaders without being forced..if their party can’t meet the needs of a particular area..they can’t vote for them..real tirbalists ..pf maggots..ZNBC should tame useless bull dogs like that dark scary man you put on interview..CK is the dullest minister!@!@
Please Zambians forgive Kambwili. He is a chainama case. Iam a Bemba and whatever Kambwili said,has just made me to support HH more. He is behaving more like Chanda Chimba the third.
The PF are now becoming more and more desperate. Please come 11 August this year ifwe kuno Ku Muchinga nipali Kachema Musuma. Away with your Lungu.
You expect a govt spokes person to have facts and speak like a mature learned person. Kambwili’s rantings shows that he is the mad one. I feel sorry for the people he represents, surely this man is not alone and only time will tell. He seems to misunderstand the tenets of democracy hence rushing to call people mad people. The economy in their lives has been growing and they are not lacking and they are so insanity thinking it is the situation for many. I hope he sees reality this year, this chap is too fat to reason!
I want to encourage all the supporters of a progressive & better Zambia through the leadership of HH, please be calm & objective as we respond to the primitive & destructive campaigning strategies by the pf. It is very clear that pf knows that they have nothing to offer to this country in terms of sound & progressive debates to convince the Zambians to vote for them in the next general election. Ours should be a noble course, that of liberating Zambia from the social, economical etc sufferings that the Zambians are going through right now. We have no province that is tribal in Zambia but Pf is using the tribal card to help them continue been in power even when its clear they have failed to govern this great nation. So the call is let us remain united as One Zambia One Nation as we work…
Does this man understand democracy? When did he escape from Chainama. How can a national leader say such things on national TV. Where is the president to control such outbursts full of hatred. Is voting for your brother, neighbour, family member, tribes mate a crime?
Say all you want about us southerners it will not change the fact that we are proud Tongas n proud Zambians…..
We will not abandon what we believe in for fear of being called tribal. You Kambwili n your boss have never campaigned in southern province. How do you expect to get votes from a pipo u have not talked to? We don’t vote for ramshackle leaders.
Just wait n see how we are going to vote this year. As for you Kambwili, no sympathy vote this time around. You are goin..
Zambia forward! !!!
Obviously your voting pattern will be the same on your demigod you tribal bastard
Zambia forward with UPND! My immediate family and I – the 16 of us are from Petauke, Chief Sandwe … And we are all voting HH this time, come rain come what!
Mr Kafwaya appealed to people in the province to give President Lungu a fresh five-year mandate to enable him to complete all the development projects he has started.
He said Government alone cannot afford to address the problems people are facing.
Its good this fool of a minister called kambwili was given this position in PF. We could have been thinking he was wise and hard working alas he is another Tribal baboon with politics running hot in his veins. Such chaps must one day form there own party so that the same people you keep insulting will welcome you. Its the reason the current amendment to the constitution was criticized because had we maintained the clause for appointment of minister outside parliament this CK would never ever qualify to be one.
Greetings Lusaka Times Readers and Bloggers.
I just want you to master this and prove me wrong if it will not come to pass. Yesterday, Kambwili insulted Jesus Christ by likening him to HH. Because of this, as long as the lord lives these two tings will happen to Chishimba Kambwili.
1. His party PF will NOT win this year (2016) Elections. HH will emerge victorious.
2. Chishimba Kambwili’s case will take him to the grave yard this year
3. All the investment he has made in and outside the country will be taken by other people
4. His family will experience the biggest trouble that will even cause it to disintegrate.
Kambwili was mocking God yesterday and God will teach him a lesson.
@Pastor Michael,which Bible do you read? When Jesus was being crucified was he not the one who said forgive them Farther for they do not know what they are doing? Don’t portray Jesus what He is not.
Pastor Michael … you are sick and a product of T Joshua that lunatic of a false prophet.
God is loving, graceful and forgiving.
Bukala bwanoko shetani iwe. Go take a bath coz you are smelling cow dung
kambwili is right hate him or not????? ba tonga munachilamo and thats y u will neva rule this land…it will owes be bemba, chipata, lenje and these others tribes..not u fools..and this year ur going to appreciate that bembas are also gud people after the hunger u will go thru kaili ifwee kumwesu ileloka imwe na nomba u have not yet planted…beta get ready as yo animals will die of hunger not forgeting yo kids of malnutrition…PERIOD…alaa muletushupa jst one tribe u want the whole zambia to sympathise with u no wayyyy..kambwili tell them so that it sinks in their skuls…ba ***** MWALISAMWA
And they must resort back to cooking those wild fruits bamwansakabinga. This HH needs to lose come what may so that he retires and normalcy comes back to the political scene
You sound very primitive by your rants, and I’m Bemba by the way. You must be some old dimwitted, ignoramus still living in the past. Come out of your cave mentality into the modern world. You think you’re better than other tribes because you’re Bemba ? People like you should not even be allowed to vote until we make sure you have improved yourself in terms of basic education. Whether you like it or not, WE ARE ALL ZAMBIANS, and no tribe is better than another. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Because of tribal remarks, iam forced to disclose to Zambians that two of children Kambwili has were fathered by his causin. They are not his biological children but belong to one of his relatives. If he denies this, let him take them for DNA test. I know what I am saying.
Secondly, I was PF but i resigned yesterday after hearing Kambwili insnulting Tongas.
August 11 , 2016 its HH. I thank you.
Bukala bobe tombolilo iwe. You have always belonged to that cowtherner party
Sh1t chap connected to the Satan1st HH now claiming to be a Pastor.
pastor michael who are u to make that fake prophecy????? men of God mwalyamba ubufi nowadays and these points are fake….kambwili did not insult God but rather gave an example which even u agree to. ba tonga can not vote for any other person apart from their own and if ur tonga u also cant vote for anyone apart from yo god hh…we wish u well in 2099
I have now believed, HH is winning this year.
August 11, Vote HH and the UPND
God Bless You.
Its tribalism when other regions vote for their own and not when PF is voted for by its own. Look at the 2011 Election results: Luapula (Sata 151,822, HH 1,758). Northern (Sata 242,455, HH 2,935). N/Western (Sata 18,790, HH 61,054), Western (Sata 43,579, HH 53,176, Milupi 21,640). When you look at these results, who is tribal? Tribalism is in the eyes of tribalists. PF has seats in Western, Northern Western and Sourthern, you call that tribalism? Sometimes it’s better to avoiding arguing with a fool who will not reason. There are no separate commodity prices for a Bemba, Lozi, Tonga, Luvale, we pay the same price, meaning that even if you vote your own, we still suffer the same effects. Come on Zambians lets grow up.
Why 2011 and not 2015 January 20th. Why are you avoiding it, you hypocrite
ZEMUTU RESURRCTION – You are a worse hypocrite your self. 2011 came before 2015, meaning the South was just responding to previous election results going back to 1991 when multi democracy elections started then 1996, 2001, 2006 , 2008, 2011 what percentage did Mazoka later HH get in Luapula,Northern (then Muchinga and Northern)
You are correct in your extract of the ECZ 2011 Presidential election results (‘000):
Northern : Sata 242,5 v HH 2,9
Luapula : Sata 151,8 v HH 1,7
Eastern : Rupiah 233,5 v HH 10,7
Southern : Sata 24,6 v HH 268,7
Please my brothers & sisters from Southern province just ignore this just move on , it is not you to judge but the creator, who created you in his own image.
I don’t understand why some leaders in PF including republican President Mr Lungu like pointing tribal fingers on some regions of Zambia all the time on mass media. Anyway posterity will judge them harshly. Playing tribal cards is not politics but backwardness and hatred which at some point will explode in your eyes. It is important to respect other tribes. I have not head Tonga people insult other tribes in the media as they have been insulted over the years by others especially from the Northern side of Zambia. The only “crime” they have committed is that they are effectively participating in the multiparty democracy of their country called Zambia. This hatred of other tribes coming from those who fear losing power is dangerous to the unit of this country which all will regret one…
The reason is that you cave people are tribal to the core and we are burying you this time for good .
…immediately PF formed government Kambwili was appointed Foreign Affairs minister…within days he was pushed to ministry of labour, worse, moved again to a ministry of ‘immature’ youth and sport were he belonged being immature himself…ECL is only 59 still a very tender age to understand the implications of appointing CK as info minister….I don’t think people like the VP or Dr Phiri or Kasonde would sink this low….
Ba PF you are giving the power/mandate to Govern, please don’t divide us with your backwardness for your selfish reasons. Do the work people gave and stop insulting others.
It’d you *****s who have been dividing us coz of your god Ichilema the stinking and smelly caveman

@ nalwamba kachema musuma uoo tawaishiba…. akakuchemena ku desert????? ulekwata amano
Entertaining rhetoric aside, the Honourable Minister fails to mention that before the PF took office, in 2010, the GDP growth rate was 10.3% that year.
We have never grown up to that iwe kashinde ulenunka amafi. By the way am Zambian economist with MOF
While I am certain that President Edgar Lungu & PF will win this year’s elections it’s unfair to compare political examples to religious ones, on this one Mr Kambwili the Government spokesperson was certainly out of order…

Madness is a metal disorder which can be attributed to physical injury to the brain, chemical imbalance or psychotic malfunction. Symptoms include inability to reason, violent behavior and dysfunctional faculties. Watching Mr Kambwili last night call opposition folks as mad, I felt pity on the man. I was equally flabbergasted that ZNBC even calls that program an interview. As a monthly subscriber to ZNBC, I felt robbed and defiled when Zulu baited Kambwili on the issue of tribe. Gravazio knew that Hakainde was not there to defend himself and no Tonga was in the station to give a rebuttal of that rubbish and hate speech spewed by Kambwili. If Kambwili can say that on ZNBC, one is left shuddering to think about what he says about Tongas in his bedroom and private conference rooms. What a…
People of southern province/tongas ought to sue kambwili. This is hate speech. It’s not politics. Politicians/people should be made to account for their pronouncements otherwise the country can go up in flames.
Kambwili never mentioned any tribe or province. Why are guys owez on the defensive?
But PF what makes you think that this time around you will increase the 1.4% won in January 2015 with the following:
(1) Poor exchange rate example K18 per pound
(2) High cost of living
(3) No jobs for the youth
(4) Load shedding
(5) Poor agriculture policies
(6) High tribalism
(7) Nepotism
(8) Insulting tongas daily
Look at these statistics from ECZ 2011 Presidential election results (‘000):
Northern : Sata 242,5 v HH 2,9
Luapula : Sata 151,8 v HH 1,7
Eastern : Rupiah 233,5 v HH 10,7
Southern : Sata 24,6 v HH 268,7
Mr. Kambwili, the ability of a people to change Governments after five years can be a sign of political stability which cannot scare away investors because investor want political as well as policy stability and predictability. The only thing that has been consistent about your PF govt is its policy shifts and unpredictability. Hence your are responsible for scaring away investors!
Mr Kambwili, what will you do when PF loses?
Unbelievable! Can someone please sue this guy for hate speech. What kind of hatred is this!! PF supporters have been voting for their people since 2011. Who is more tribal? Go check the voting pattern and ECZ and see who is more tribal.
On a second thought, please dont sue him, rather forgive and ignore him. He is representing his master. If you wanna know how your neighbours feel about you, just ask their kids. Kambwili is simply displaying his master’s desire. The fact that Davies Chama, Mumbi Phiri and Chishimba Kambwili have insulted and degraded the Tonga people and the President is just looking simply means he (Mr Lungu) approves/endorses these insults and hate speech for his leverage. Every dog has his day!! Where is Kaunda, Chiluba, Mwanawasa, RB, Sata?

Kambwili might be an emotional chap when commenting on national issues but I feel he ‘called a spade a spade’ on politics of regionalism. Of course I know others were offended by his remarks. No two ways about it.
Please ignore multiple posts. Its LT that delayed the posts…
Mr X, which tribal grouping are most tribal given voting pattern extract from ECZ 2011 Presidential election results (‘000):
Northern : Sata 242,5 v HH 2,9
Luapula : Sata 151,8 v HH 1,7 / RB 47,3 =49
Eastern : Rupiah 233,5 v Sata 59,3 / HH 10,7 = 70
Southern : Sata 24,6 / RB 71,5 = 96,1 v HH 268,7
US THE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE REFUSE, the TRIBALISM USED BY THE PATHETIC F00LS AIMED AT USING DIVISION TO REMAIN IN POWER EVEN WHEN ITS CLEAR PF IS A FAILED PROJECT!
Lets not mix facts and fiction comrades;
The fact is EL will win this year. The fiction is HH will win this year
Unfortunately the seeds of mistrust have been planted in the collective Zambian subconscious. Listening to Kambwili on ZNBC last night and looking at Zulu the purported interviewer make me feel nostalgic about the days of the great Charles Mando. Kambwili spewed hatred and Zulu apparently relished it without challenging him. It made me wonder where journalists get their training these days. For a government official to call an entire people racists and a section of a society mad knowing that they would not be given a chance to defend themselves is to display the cowardice and political demagoguery of the utmost type. As a financial subscriber to ZNBC, I feel robbed and raped and if I had my way I would excuse myself and unsubscribe to the TV and radio stations that they ran.
The level of panic and increasing exclamation behavior of the pf indicates fear and knowledge of imminent defeat. UPND is winning these polls.
Kambwili unleashed the brutal truth about the people of the South! Truth pains but he stated the facts as they are…..based on available empirical evidence especially after the demise of Mazoka (MHSRIP). However the way he unleashed the arsenals was so chilling……oooooohhh ba Kamba tone down a bit!
what of the voting patterns of the pipo of the north, like laupula ???
You explain why the North and East are most tribal in voting as shown by these ECZ 2011 Presidential election results (‘000):
Northern : Sata 242,5 v HH 2,9
Luapula : Sata 151,8 v HH 1,7
Eastern : Rupiah 233,5 v HH 10,7
Southern : Sata 24,6 / RB 71,5 = 96,1 v HH 268,7
This year we will vote like tongas do in one constituency 19000 to 0, 16000 to 50….they must have a test of their own medicine.
HH in 2011 got 3500 from Northern and Luapula combined and compare that to 49860 for Sata in the same region. What does that tell us!
Kambwili is 100% tight on how tongas vote.its really a shame.upnd mps and hh included campaign purely in tribal line and they have doing this since 2005 after Anderson Mazoka’s death.YOU MAY HATE CK BUT WHAT HE IS VERY TRUE!!UPND MUST CHANGE.IN 2016 US NONE TONGA MUST NOT VOTE FOR UPND TOO!!
HH in 2011 got 3500 from Northern and Luapula combined and compare that to 49860 for Sata in the same region. What does that tell us!
@ eddy
You are sure that Kambwili is “100% tight”?
Wow!!!
How do you know? Did you try?
Kambwili yesterday insulted God and the people of Zambia for no apparent reason. We as Zambians should never run away from the fact that voting is on Regional lines. HH in 2011 got 3500 from Northern and Luapula combined and compare that to 49860 for Sata in the same region. What does that tell us! Kambwili as chief govt spokesperson was very disappointing last night on TV. Surely a top govt official sowing seeds of division and the president is seated comfortably listening and smiling. That hate speech by Kambwili is leading this nation to a disastrous ending! He talked about the GDP in economical terms and the whole circus was a big shame because he was talking about things that he does not understand! Kambwili, you are the mad one. Grevazio is another. Fool who failed to control the…
Even at the expense of being called tired and retired I will say Zambian Breweries changed under the leadership of a Tonga MD. There is a disproportionate number of Tongas and Lozis to a lesser extent. I shudder to think what would happen if they took over government. Two wrongs do not make a right if the argument is that the Bembas do the same.
PILATO says SayNOtoTRIBALpolitics, SayNOtoSTUPIDpolitics
Even by Kabwili’s own admission Zesco is being led by junior engineers who joined Zesco in 1991 or later. What happened to engineers who joined earlier than 1991? They have all been retired perhaps because they are not party cadres just like FTJ retired J. Kaluzi despite being an imminent engineer and replaced him with Mwansa whom it is alleged printed MMD party cards while working in South Africa and it also alleged that he struggled to get his engineering qualifications.
This is hypocrysy of the worst kind from Kambwili and the PF! when HH allegedly called one person (Chama) lunatic, the entire PF machinery was in motion to a point where they petitioned and threatened to sue him. Now the government spokesperson calls “all” the opposition leaders mad, “all” tongas as worst tribalist and pagans who dont even believe in Jesus Christ, “all” Zambians as being unappreciative as they listern to “mad” people, the entire PF is ok with it. President Lungu (our listerning president), please use your presidential powers to compel ZNBC to make that programme phone-in and also bring the oppoisition so they can defend themselves on a PUBLIC media! Otherwise it will be another case of standup zambia programme, which will push away even the most adent PF…
I’m 100% sure that Kambwili and other PF officials (Bembas) are appealing to their fellow Bembas when they use such backward and scare tactics of tribalism. I’m 100% sure that these are the most excited people whenever there tribesmen insult Tongas. Apart from a few mild instances from Mr Lungu, I have never head any other Zambian accusing others of tribalism the way Mumbi Phiri, Kambwili, Chama, Sampa, Chilufya, Bwalya and Chanda and guess which tribe or region they come from. They have continued speaking evil because this excites a good number of their clansmen. For them they call this politics, albeit primitive and dangerous ones. Well, things continue like this comrades never, because all that goes up must come down.
This interview by Hon Kambwili may have actually won more sympathy votes for the UPND, because the more PF shouts ‘tribal’, ‘tribal’, the more UPND releases statements on how to improve the economy and encouraging people to register and speak through the ballot., in other words, dealing with the real issues of poverty, job losses and lack of adequate planing for the country. Bob Marley would tell Hon CK…..HH mek’yu draw bad carrd:)…..I don’t think I would want to vote for Hon Kambwili….ever!
Fo.ols Lt why block my comments you PF carders.
Kwane nega nega formula is needed in PF strong holds.I was in southern and was told to be chased if UPND wins.It’s so shameful to have UPND supporters who love tribalism.Go to southern province n hear for yoself.U’ll never pipo talk about tribes in luapula,northern & muchinga but in southern u gonna hear.UPND can refuse but the truth is that HH came into politics thru tribalsim.Hhhee only a tonga would succeed Mazoka it was pronounceda n Zambians heard.UPND can’t run away from this no matter what.Viva PF u have indeed delivered in 4 years.I’ve also never seen such development since 1990. Kolopa.com
Its a wonder why only names likes Chama, Chishimba, Mumbi, Bwalya, Chanda and Chilufya are calling Tongas tribalist. Your guess is as good as mine fellow compatriots. Im sure these names are appealing to a lot of their kinsmen with such messages. You can easily isolate the tribalists in Zambia
One may wonder why its names like Mumbi, Chama, Chishimba, Chanda, Bwalya and Chilufya on tribal war path?
PF is winning mwebantu stop insulting one other please.pipo are just saying hh what as he got for the zambian pipo
HH in 2011 got 3500 from Northern and Luapula combined and compare that to 49860 for Sata in the same region. What does that tell us!
august 11 2016 is just around the corner nawakwi in bush addresing women
So even chiefs have become campaign mangers for hh? the all southern province hating bembas as if its bembas ruling this country, wat more if Tongas come to rule this nation wat is going to happen to bembas. In my life I have never heard of a single bemba chief talking tribal even if its subjects may use tribal sentiments against tongas. But wen its opposite the all chiefs are head. Lets be one as we are all under one image, the image of God.
So in this country u address such chaps as honourable.. Oh my God!!!! Seriously wrong
Men without neck and head. Please people help what did this tea car ra smoke?
kambwili bebe tabomfwa they are blind to reality.ni ba shongo ba mwasa kabinga.bamutumbula mutima,bashetani nimpofu bamona fye chitindi ya n’gombe epela
Comment: This time around we will vote the way you vote in the south and you will certainly feel it.
Feel free. Who cares? We won’t starve neither will you finds hordes of Tonga kids on the streets as street kids.
You have always being voting in a worse off manner against HH in your Luapula and Northern Zambia. Nothing new. Are you the only one who does not know.
Zambians,lets not b cheated.We all knw hw HH became UPND president a man without political experience but bcoz he is Tonga,he sidelined senior & rightfull pipo z likes of Sakwiba Sikota,Given Lubinda & many others.Let HH tell voters hw he got 2 b UPND president, in z 1st place & as 2 weather he is abiding by his party constitution.The truth pains bt Zambians open up yo eyes!HH is manipulative,just wanting z best 2 himself.God of Zambia, redem us frm manipulaters.
Description of tribalism in Zambia is WHEN TONGA’S vote for UPND. My Zambia we can do better than this. Do you remember Genocide in Ruwanda? It started by careless people like Kambwili. The recent xenophobia in South Africa was started in Durban by one careless talk from a leader. Sometimes i think its because we have never been to war thats why we are so naive to what war can do to humanity. careless talk from leaders can escalate in to civil war. you have bloggers like @MUNENE supporting such talk. Leaders at all times should refrain them selves from any careless tribal talk that boarders on dividing one tribe from the other tribe , Kambwili should always remember that he is not the first nor the last to be minister / chief government spokes person they have been others before him…
I do not normally watch interviews of Hon Kambwili to the end, but yesterday I did and was amazed at the facts that he articulated. The tri…ball tag of uPMD dating back to 2005 has been well articulated by myself so I will not dwell on it.
Apart from that tag, HH started well with the “economic manager” slogan, but over the years it has become clear that the slogan is just that, a political slogan, it has no substance at all when you look at His subsequent and recent pronouncements. HH has now reduced himself to a level playing field with Hon Kambwili and that is why I can watch CK up to the end, I can’t really really tell the difference between CK the politician And HH the “economist”. and HH cannot complain can he? Ifyaku Iletelela humwine. See my comments following…..contd
am a PF MEMBER …….BUT KABWILI’S MOUTH YESTERDAY WAS REPRESENTING HIS OWN THINKING THAT’S TOO EMBARRASSING FOR A GOVERNMENT SPOKES PERSON TO SPEAK SO CARELESSLY LIKE THAT HE IS A DISGRACE HE MUST BE SHOWN THE DOOR BEFORE HE CAUSES WAR IN OUR PEACEFUL COUNTRY
ÏHH condemned the constitution amendments because
1. He wanted proportional representation, provincial assemblies which would mean adding 90 to the current number of MPs and 900 more political jobs respectively. CK argues that these would be too expensive currently for an ailing economy which needs to take care of the less privileged, the PF would rather defer those clauses until the economy picks up. This insistence by HH and HHs insults of Lungu leads CK to close the interview by stating that with this kind of thinking, if HH is indeed an economist then he needs to go back to kindergarten. Very valid point CK, and you should have added that this is the same economist or “economic manager” who condemns the level of debt that PF government has accumulated. Now that would be a valid…
Now that would be a valid point HH, but then you have now proceeded to contradict yourself by suggesting (without thinking) that a heavy national would be okay if the money was spent on financing more political offices,Manda not on roads hospitals etc. surely that is not what you meant by “economic manager” was it? Because now you are acting more like a poor political manager than a competent “economic manager”. ECONOMIC MANAGER EXPOSED.
No need to debate with empties like you because you have already forgotten that those are not HHs views but Zambians who submitted to your (PF) technical committee and are in the draft constitution.
Comment:shame shame shame
THE TRUTH PAINS – TONGAs only voted with the rest of the country in 1991 in the history of Zambia because their traditional enemy Kaunda stood against a human being. In fact, even when Kaunda stood against the Frog, they voted for a Frog.
There was no dull moment in the interview. Facts, Facts and so on . The voting profile has been the way he pronounced it yesterday in the interview. Read the conversation between HH and the south chief and make your own conclusion. If the profile does not change, again 2016 is for the PF and second place the MMD.
Iwe Mayiji fimofimo,Mpika in muchinga voted for Guy Scort……..Lol
Yes they are. Use every weapon to Rid Zambia of these people.
The LORD Jesus Christ should redeem Zambia. This level of hatred is excessive; never known except during the time of Hitler. I am truly shocked Chishimba Kambwili would go on ZNBC, a public broadcaster, to churn out hate speech. He whom the gods want to destroy first make mad.
@zemunturesurection!Who do u think doesn’t know u sukulumbwe a paid pf blogger@ LT. @ l work for MOF? You just a piece of cursed known lunatic in lsk.. we’re monitoring u so closely *****t! Yo days are countable *****t..
Kambwili must have the smallest pen1s on earth.
@lucy, and that is the whole point madam Lucy. If he is a true economist, HH is supposed to guide the masses that the economy currently cannot afford such extravaganza instead of going with the wind kwalola umwels and insulting more intelligent and caring leaders. If he was a properly trained economist, HH would have advised the people that we cannot afford to borrow in order to create more political jobs. Instead all he sees are votes.
Job losses on the Copperbelt and tempers are high, HH decides to go and incite riots. That is what Hon Kambwili was talking about. And boy did he finish off his favorite underfive in style! HH was exposed as an amateur politician and kindergarten economist by Kambwili of all people! That is what has annoyed uPMD. But if I were you, I would leave…
…..If I were you I would allow the “economic manager” to answer for himself otherwise you are just deepening his prepared political grave.
Bali mupwa uyo HH kuli Hon Kambwili, Chali chansoni Sana elo ba Kambwili bamoneka kwati eba economist.
And Kambwili asked the economic manager whether he was a better economist than Dr Denny Kalyalya……….kikikikikiki awe shuwa!
I m pagan. I would rather vote for HH whom i see and live with than believing in fantasy or imagination. The truth is that a belief is not a fact!
Comment:its true that it is only good tht a goat bites a dog because it creates laughter not otherwise. we her others speak badly now u say insuits nway i ve said it
For those who doubted me, now I have been vindicated when I say that in trying to sound more clever than others, HH has the propensity to shoot himself in the foot at critical times. Someone please advise him that shared knowledge is more usefusxfqWw
This is the brutal truth about PF tribal politics exemplified by the ECZ 2011 Presidential election results (‘000):
Northern : Sata 242,5 v HH 2,9
Luapula : Sata 151,8 v HH 1,7 / RB 47,3 =49
Eastern : Rupiah 233,5 v Sata 59,3 / HH 10,7 = 70
Southern : Sata 24,6 / RB 71,5 = 96,1 v HH 268,7
Camb Willy is a Scottish made drug to treat bipolar disorder and schizophrenia that this fat minister is suffering from.
These are the type of people that need to be kicked out of leadership positions in our country. You talk about development in the country when everyone knows the standard of living is constantly deteriorating? Do you need a 100 years to produce results? If you do then you’re mediocre, ineffective and need to be changed. Since Lungu took over, the Kwacha has depreciated, inflation has shot up from 7% in Jan 2015 to 21.10% in Dec 2015. Prices of essential commodities have gone up. Maybe you can afford them, but the vast majority of the populace cannot. One year is enough for people to evaluate whether you’re effective or not. And calling people who don’t agree with you “mad,” is simply foolish.
We are just observing, the wise ones. Whilst fools gets to the floor to insult each other, we toil the land for survival, may the good Lord almighty forgive these people and guide them on TRUE LEADERSHIP.
Whats wrong with this neckless man.
If Zambia goes up in flames because of these calculated ,twisted information, these speakers will fly away_ !! please let us be sober up!! We will react through the ballot, on August the 11th,, We are watching!! Some pipo will be taught an unforgettable lesson, believe me, Zambians have changed!! GOD BLESS ZAMBIA!!!
Lets forget the issue of tribalism. The fact is that HH is the right person to vote for, so why Tongas should vote for someone who is useless like ECL. Iwe ise ni forward.
Chainama escapee Kambwili.
KAMBWILI; THUS THINKS ALL THE MAD PEOPLE THAT THE SANE PEOPLE ARE MAD. IN THIS STATEMENT YOU HAVE DISCRIBED YOURSELF AS THAT IS WHAT WE IN THE OPPOSITION THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN THE PF. LOL
