The Law Association of Zambia has strongly condemned the recent tribal remarks attributed to two PF Cabinet Ministers.
On Sunday, Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda was quoted encouraging the people of Chipata to vote for their tribesmen in the forthcoming Presidential and General Elections.
During the Sunday Interview TV programme, Information Minister Chishimba Kambwili issued disparaging remarks to voters in the Southern Province on the basis that they are unlikely to vote for the ruling party in the upcoming general elections due to their tribal inclination.
LAZ President George Chisanga said the remarks, coming as they did, from very senior Cabinet Ministers and Members of Parliament, are not only misplaced but they are extremely unfortunate in a country that is democratic and which is home to numerous tribal groupings forming one sovereign unitary state.
Mr Chisanga said LAZ wishes to remind the Nation that Article 23 in the Bill of Rights of the current Constitution protects all Zambian citizens from discrimination on the basis of tribe.
He added that the preamble of the newly enacted Constitution of Zambia Amendment Act No.2 of 2016, which the two Honourable Ministers were instrumental in enacting, recognises the equality of citizens in the new preamble.
The preamble reads,
“WE; THE PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA:
ACKNOWLEDGE the supremacy of God Almighty; DECLARE the Republic a Christian Nation while upholding a person’s right to freedom of conscience, belief or religion;
UPHOLD the human rights and fundamental freedoms of every person;
COMMIT ourselves to upholding the principles of democracy and good governance;
RESOLVE to ensure that our values relating to family, morality, patriotism and justice are maintained and all functions of the State are performed in our common interests;
CONFIRM the equal worth of women and men and their right to freely participate in, determine and build a sustainable political, legal, economic and social order;
RECOGNISE AND UPHOLD the multi-ethnic, multi-racial, multi religious and multi-cultural character of our Nation and our right to manage our affairs and resources, sustainably in a developed system of governance; RESOLVE that Zambia shall remain a unitary, multi-party and democratic sovereign State;
RECOGNISE AND HONOUR the freedom fighters who fought for the independence of or Nation in order to achieve liberty, justice and unity for the people of Zambia;
AND DIRECT that all State organs and State institutions abide by and respect our sovereign will”.
Mr Chisanga said on numerous occasions, LAZ has advised all stakeholders to eschew all manner of ill talk and hate speech, which are indicative of tribalism.
He said tribalism has no place in the political discourse of this country adding that the rights and dignity of all Zambian citizens must be maintained and respected, particularly by the Government whose functionaries and officials are sworn to the constitutional duty of protecting all citizens of the Republic regardless of their political persuasion or tribal origins.
“Tribalism can only sow seeds of hatred and violence that are at odds not only with the Christian ethos of the country but also with the need to recognise basic human dignity,” Mr Chisanga said.
He added, “LAZ finds itself duty bound to offer a timely reminder, not only to the two Ministers responsible for these unfortunate remarks, but also to all Zambians, of the earnest plea made by His Excellency the Republican President Mr. Edgar Lungu, on the occasion of officiating at the Human Rights Day on 10 December 2015, when he called on Zambians from all walks of life to join in the fight against tribalism, regionalism and their attendant off shoot of hate speech, which have been given an undesirable prominence by social media in the country.”
“Our reminder is also to all Political players that as we head towards the tripartite elections we should at all times desist from championing any agenda based on region or tribe. – If indeed the Government is serious about constitutionalism, the rule of law and the respect for human rights and human dignity, then all its leaders must be seen to act accordingly for the benefit of all Zambians.”
Mr Chisanga urged the ruling PF government to desist from making divisive tribal remarks, and be patriotic, by leading the way in averting ethnic tensions that are beginning to show in a country that is known as a beacon of peace in the whole of Africa.
It is not that PF minister are not aware of the damage the tribal remarks they are making. The following are some of the reasons for this recent development in PF;
1. Ministers have run out of issues to debate as they know they are responsible for the suffering of many Zambians due to their failure to run the country’s economy
2. They seem not to understand why the party they dislike so much is doing this well
3. Eastern Province is an agriculture based economy and PF has run done agriculture with its failure to put in place good policies in the last 5 years
Well done LAZ!
Otherwise Bandit Kambwili has exhibited his no morals tribalist attitude, unethical for such mediocre to be a govt spokesman!
Kambwili the visionless & his PF cohorts Bandits are deluded & Chainama is the best case to place these corrupt accolades.
What an awful abomination of mocking Jesus Christ in politics by tribal bandit who has overtaken Davies bandit Chama.
4 months left for visionless PF & Lungu, u-turns off, vote wisely.

Gideon Zulu:I NEVER HEARD Chishimba Kambwili mention UPND or Tonga.
He just said people from a named party and a named province. Logically, this was open to interpreatation.Why should UPND attack CK if they are not guilty of whatever Hon Kambwili claimed. How come MMD and other parties have not cried foul? Does their silence mean they are in agreement with CK? Why should UPND be so upset when he didn’t mention them?, ordinarily, it should have been none of their business, but wait, its a case of , ” if the shoe fits , one must wear It” and UPND did .
Good LAZ!
However, According to Cap 87, Section 70(1) of the laws of Zambia it is stated as follows: “Any person who utters any words or publishes any writing expressing or showing hatred, ridicule or contempt for any person or group of persons wholly or mainly because of his or their race, tribe, place of origin or colour is guilty of an offence and is liable on conviction to imprisonment for a period not exceeding two years.”
Mr Kakoma challenged the police to rise up now and arrest Mr Kambwili for breaking the law, before aggrieved citizens rise up against Kambwili and the PF regime.
The Skeleton Key
~206~
The champion of one Zambia one nation kabotolo Lungu has not even come out publicly to condemn Kambwili or Chikwanda for their actions. Useless hypocrite so called president
Meanwhile Aleisa HH
@1,you have said it well,but its not only pf ministers but president LUNGU also has encourage this tribal sentiments,obama has denounced donald trump the republican front runner,on his muslim rhetoric ,so has many republicans .lungu is the problem here bcz he is playing a double standard.we can disagree but remain united of what has defined us as peaceful people for the past 51 years.what defines leadership is patience and wisdom not political game.
It is what it is MR Chisanga,CK was just calling a spade a spade. If it was you Mr Chisanga on that interview and Mr G, Zulu asked you about tribalism, would you have said their is no tribalism in politics? Besides that CK never said people from Southern province or Tongas, it’s you the people who have seen that the ‘shoe fits’ this particular province because of their tribal politics.
Thank you LAZ. This Nonsense being perpetuated by Edgar Lungu who is the appointing authority must stop. But that is asking too much from our president. He is extremely feeble. He has failed to act on political violence and him disciplining Chishimba Kambwili, Davies Chama and Mumbi Phiri is almost mission impossible
PF and its supports fya chabe chabe. If HH and his official were heard encouraging Tongas to vote for their tribesmen they scream from the roof tops that HH is a tribalist and so on.
LAZ should condem the practice of tri.balism by Tongas. Let LAZ look into how To.ngas employ their fellow Tongas and not other tribes.
One District where the DEBs was a Tonga, all Head Masters in the schools in that District are Tongas.
And one Bank in a certain District where the Branch Manager was a Tonga, all the workers except one in that Brunch are Tongas including cleaners.
So can LAZ explain this kind of practice as opposed to speaking from without.
PF knows what they are talking about, there is a season. Examples are many and we are fed up with Tongas and their tri.balism
LAZ why don’t you address the triba.lism practiced by To.ngas…. they employ fellow Tongas, insult Bembas etc
One District where a DEBS was Tonga all head masters are Tongas and one Bank where the Branch Manager was Tonga, all the workers but one are Ton.ga including cleaners. Examples are many
So can LAZ explain the Tonga practice
LAZ is a useless body because they have become partisan. Are you not even ashamed of coming out to say such things when it is on record that Mucheleka and Munkombwe openly said its time for Tongas to rule and you kept quiet. What did you say about that? Shame!! We all know that instead of being non partisan so as to provide checks and balance, you have been eating from certain politicians. Grow up. If Zambia is set on fire because of tribalism, you should know you are part of the problem. What difference is there between your selves and Kambwili if you can keep quite when Munkombwe is openly preaching tribalism. Dont pretend you never listened to that speech because that is the only reason you can give.
Mr Zedppoorpeople
Is not true that Tongas have been voting the same way since 2001 despite that the country has had 4 presidents in the same period, Chiluba, Mwanawasa, Banda, Sata and Lungu
Let us call spade a spade, serpent a serpent, tribal Tonga tribal Tonga.
Please no fussing this is hard and truthful fact
When hh insults Lungu that Lungu knows nothing but eating or stealing clients money, this is okay and is not hate speech. but when the truth is told it becomes hate speech. Grow
Is not true that mwanawasa insulted Bembas that they are thieves who stink. Is not true that bembas did nor call an indaba. Is not true you small minded tribal parties.
Mpezeni was insulted by Mwanawasa and post that he had syphilis, did the ngoni tribe call for an indaba. So what is is this fuss…
pf guys remind of Julius Malema..every time he is cornered or has no explanation to give,he runs to use the race card…”You are a racist wena”..
Folks, below is a petition link to bar Kambwili and tribal accomplices from entering the UK and other European countries for inciting tribal hatred that would ignite genocide against the Tongas in Zambia.
Please sign it for the sake of mother Zambia.

Anyone talking tribal should be disqualified. ECZ should get serious and stop such nonsense.
Article 23 in the bill of rights is very clear why passing “untimely warnings”. And how many times have you warned instead of acting? Where does your accountability place you LAZ’Y bums? The ministers were doing this on “public” media or maybe has everyone suddenly gone deaf and blind? I was anxious waiting for our “LAW abiding” LAZ’Y to really fix the situation. Remember when the elephants or should I say “hippopotamus” fight it’s the grass that suffers. Are we really putting into account the 14 million lives as we re given public office? Really? My HEART BLEEDS. God deliver my beautiful country Zambia.
Gideon Zulu:I NEVER HEARD Chishimba Kambwili mention UPND or Tonga.
He just said people from a named party and a named province. Logically, this was open to interpreatation.Why should UPND attack CK if they are not guilty of whatever Hon Kambwili claimed.

Let LAZ condem the tribalism of Tongas
PF is a Bemba tribal party. It’s just going back to its tribal roots that Sata pioneered. In 2011 over 90% of its parliamentary candidates were northerners. Even in non-Bemba places like Lusaka and Livingstone, they had Bemba candidates. Lungu’s one Zambia, One Nation Slovan is just to fool people while PF pursue their tribal agenda. The poor people of eastern Province should ask themselves if they are benefitting from Chikwanda’s kickbacks from Chinese contractors and Eurobonds? Your wako who does not take care of you when you are starving or ill is not your wako. PF is just a gang of rapacious thieves.
Tongas have been doing this including thier chiefs. A woman was removed clothes in Tonga land, Dandy crazy was almost killed. LAZ why condmnig PF that has started now. We are voting like them
Is PF a Bemba party? Madyenkuku, Siamunene , Greyford Monde, Kafwaya, Hapunda etc…..what do you say?
The thunderous votes from North Waterrn, Western, Copperbelt rural and Central provinces are clear message that UPND is beyond Southern Province.
Zambia is split in the middle with North Western Rhodesia supporting progressive UPND and North Eastern Rhodesia still hanging onto corrupt plundering failed party: PF.
The most regional voting is with Luapula and Northern Provinces which gave UPND less than 2% votes. To cover their rabid tribalism, the likes of AB Chikwanda and C Kambwili call other trbalist……the cheek!
LAZ have you ever heard of ZWD and Zambian eye? did you hear what god of the Tonga and his chief said about Bembas? Tongas almost killed Dandy crazy and stripped a woman naked. why kambwili? Not not Tongas
we have just joined Tongas and we shall vote like them
Why doesn’t Mr lusambo complain to police about the apparent violation of the constitution by the two ministers?
Think of a Zambian child in Mansa. Chipata, Kasama, Mongu, Zambezi, Kalomo, Kabwe, etc with no hope for life itself. No medical care, no education opportunities, certainly without power from ZESCO, who cannot afford to buy a decent meal. Their tribe will not matter if he provide these things, I will vote for PF. If not UPND carries the day. We Zambians have beein cheated for a long time.
Suppose it was opposition doing this.Were warnings by LAZ going to be business as usual? However,LAZ thanks so much for this observation and voicing out, This is a rare priviledge in a country like Zambia were most institutions and NGOs are compromised and would rather watch the country go into flames. Lets emmulate UNIP/MMD times when it was ONE ZAMBIA, ONE NATION
So to condemn the tribalism practised by Tongas is a crime
Malume tell us which opposition leader made tribal remarks today or in the past week so we condemn them as well. Now we are dealing with Kambwili’s tribalism. Anyone else does the same we are here to condemn them. Why don’t you condemn Kambwili?
Otherwise,
Bandit Kambwili is a great TRIBALIST who has now overtake the other overzealous PF bandit Davies Chama.
Indeed Lungu is visionless! Divisive Kambwili promptly mocked Jesus Christ with his ABOMINATION. Chainama is the case, then straight jail for these visionless & tribalist PF bandits.
PF to be discarded in 4 months time, wapya!
The Skeleton Key
~206~
Biased laz…! Wat wrong did kambwili say…? The man just called a spade a spade…! Who does not know that most tongas vote on tribal lines…!? Look at the vote margins..e.g Pemba; upnd – 21000….pf – 50…..others 0….! Its only in Africa wea truth hates..!
Use the tribal tag when you run out of ideas…pf has proven it.
And poor zambians fail to recognize this trick, this is the second time, Late Sata (RIP) started this project with his careless utterances but his PF people have taken this to the next level, because as with all things, they degenerate to the next level.
PF is the ONLY PARTY that has completely turned the one Zambia, one Nation into the OPPOSITE and it realy enjoys feeding on it, such that it has even forgotten about fixing the highly deplorable economy which they caused themselves.
Tonga tribalism is too much don’t deny facts
Comment: My fellow Zambian Brothers and Sisters, Let me remind you that, The central region part of Malawi still remain the Bed room of the Malawi Congress Party(MCP) Because its founder Kamuzu Banda was a Chewa by tribe from the Central region, for example Hon John Tembo has been a member of Parliament of Malawi since 1961 up to 2014 when he retired from active politics, If you are a Chewa in Malawi, You must join Malawi Congress Party in Malawi, and if you are a Llomwe by tribe you must represent Democratic Progressive Party, and if you are a Yao by tribe(MUSLIM) you must contest the election under the United Democratic Front (UDF) So tribal politics its normal in any country especially here in Africa.
You are some how right, but here in Zambia the main issue is this One Tribe and its affiliates which does not want one of the other 70-71 tribes to be President of the Republic as if Zambia is their Chiefdom.
Mufasa just like your fellow *****, you also got no balls not even to mention that tribe, no wonder your wives are running away from you baiche.
we are not malawians
yes RB did well in eastern province than Sata and HH
Sata did well in northern and luapula provinces than RB and HH
HH did well in southern than RB and Sata
RB is out, Sata is no more (MHSRIP), this lives HH from the 2008 list. The issue HH has began to penetrate these other regions because of giving it a go on several attempts while ECL is a new entrant who is still mastering his way round. Eastern might give him much votes than his opponents because he hails from there and the backing from RB, HH will still get something because of his attempts. Nothern and luapula are up for grabs.
Useless LAZ. Why not spend your time dealing with real issues. Regionalism is there everywhere. Even in America, Republicans and Democrats have their own strongholds. Where was LAZ when one party said only a certain tribe can lead it. Do not display your bias here.
But why should we just seat on the terraces and watch these these perpetrators of hybalism continue doing it with impunity? To be frank with you people now have run short of decent words and ways of denouncing the victims. Can we see a change in the forth coming elections from these people to vote on continuity with development than tribe. What development has the one they always vote for taken to there region. All their mps have lamentably failed to implement any project there but they are still guaranteed for a vote because of tribe. Rubbish LAZ.
Tribalism under Edgar Lungu is Governmental policy, what a shame, what a President, What a country to be called Christian?
Malabishi.
Ba LAZ when Munkombwe made that remark you never commented besides what honourable Kambwilli did was to call a spade a spade. If we as Zambians want to weed out tribalism we have to meet it head on and thats what the Honourable did on Sunday interview
@Mambwe,I somehow agree with you though I believe Chikwanda’s utterances were tribal while Kambwili only complained about how some regions have not appreciate the work done by his party PF. He never mentioned any region particular region nor ethnic group so those who are complaining against him should cite facts like the case is with Chikwanda!
Tongas this Tongas that lets face it, compare the results Rupiah Banda got in 2011 in southern province to the ones say HH got in Luapula & Northern Province, you also compare the results Sata got in 2011 in southern province to the ones HH got in the northern region. PF has an MP in the south what about UPND in the North?
LAZ must also be impartial, Chisanga, who is one of the cartel members is always quick to point out the short comings of the ruling party, but he remains conspicuously quiet when it comes to the opposition. When Munkombwe, Nkombo and HH went tribal what did Chisanga and his LAZ say? Nothing.
@Marc. If you disagree with someone, instead of addressing the issues raised, you just call him/her part of “the Cartel”. Address the issues raised by Chisanga. Kambwili made explicit tribal remarks, which is wrong.
LAZ must go a step further and take him to court.
Chisanga how much did HH pay u? Since when did LAZ come out to say against tribal remarks?
Upnd have been beating,undressing bembas in southern province why didnt u conderm these acts. Upnd has telling all bembas to leave sp,wp and nwp we ve never head anything from laz why on these?
Are u among those who were promised posts by upnd? To say the least even u chisanga u are supporting upnd bcoz of tribe u come from ~
The fact is upnd is already tribal with a degree in tribal political/economic whilst pf is pesuing a diploma in tribal politics
**Please all zambians learn to ignore and keep quiet on certain topic u just make them grow
@Jkalusa: I wonder how people can sink so low to think anyone against any PF minister is a UPND cadre. Tribalism is a NATIONAL issue and we should all condemn it regardless of political affiliation.
@jkalusa, if UPND has been beating and undressing bembas in Southern province why has anyone not reported this to the police? Would you think that the PF government would not have taken advantage of such acts to pounce on UPND? UPND has been telling bembas to leave SP, WP, and NWP? Are you sure of what you are saying or you are merely an agent of the 25 evils against HH? Be careful of what you say lest you be sited for hate speech and placed on the watch list for genocide promotion. No Zambian must be threatened by anyone to leave any part of Zambia based on their ethnicity. If anyone threatens, beats, and undresses others based on divergent political opinion they must be reported to the police and civil society organisations against crime based on political affiliation.
No UPND already are PHD or professorial at tribal anchorage while PF is at kindergarten
Chisanga is fool thinking that upnd will give him a post. Is he tonga or Bantu botatwe
LAZ why don’t you address the triba.lism practiced by To.ngas…. they employ fellow Tongas, insult Bembas etc
One District where a DEBS was Tonga all head masters are Tongas and one Bank where the Branch Manager was Tonga, all the workers but one are Ton.ga including cleaners. Examples are many
So can LAZ explain the Tonga practice. We are fed up with the tribalism of Tongas. Something has to be done
The problem with most PF ministers / political officials, is they only consider voting, & will encourage others to vote using their bellies or third legs, knowing the full detrimental effects this will have on the nation.
As long as their own pockets, & bellies are full, they will prompt gullible citizens to even vote in for a visionless can of beans..
Patriotism died after independence, even the Pope of Belly Politics Munkhombwe did confirm this.
Nazism is primitive
Racism is primitive
Tribalism is primitive
Slavery is primitive
Religious intolerance is primitive
Ethnic segregation is primitive
Billions of people have died due to these vices from WWII, Slave trade, colonialization, religious wars, terrorism, genocide in Rwanda & yugoslavia, African civil wars etc.
LAZ why don’t you address the triba.lism practiced by To.ngas…. they employ fellow Tongas, insult Bembas etc
One District where a DEBS was Tonga all head masters are Tongas and one Bank where the Branch Manager was Tonga, all the worker but one are Ton.ga including cleaners. Examples are many
So can LAZ explain the Tonga practice
One good example is Pamalate Zambia. were tongas are the only employees. LAZ please explain
Most babies when they realize they are losing something the only solution they have is to destroy it and this what PF is doing to this country.
Low frustration tolerance: Children are generally known for having a low tolerance for frustration. They want things to go their way. When something happens that’s unexpected, disappointing or requires the use of coping skills, many children have a difficult time handling such situations effectively. Some older children and teens still engage in “tantrum behaviors” long past the age we might expect. Why? They may not have the skills to handle the stress they’re experiencing. Physically releasing that energy helps them relieve their distress for the moment—even though it’s unpleasant for everyone around them. Zambians should rise up now and…
SayNOtoTribalism
SayNOto Stupidity.
PF HAS FAILED TO GOVERN HENCE RESORTING TO DIVIDE AND RULE TACTICS.
It seems the south and the north really like throwing the tribal thing. Thank goodness we have president Lungu. Thank God Chikwanda et al is retiring this year.
I think this Chisanga chap is very biased and fails to interpret matters correctly. I watched CK on two repeat programs and he WAS NOT championing tribalism at all but condemning it in the strongest terms. We can’t burry our heads in the sand with such tribal voting exhibited by some region, and yes that is true! And this is what CK was condemning. We know from past LAZ leaders that they tend to aligning themselves to opposition political parties in the hope that they might rewarded with positions in government should their party win. It is very very sad. It is also uncalled for for some sectors of society calling for CK’s resignation.
IWE KA NZELU LISTEN.. SEE BEYOND YOUR FLAT NOSE. THE BEMBAS and TONGAS HAVE THIS PERENNIAL “FIGHT” ABOUT WHICH IS THE MAJORITY TRIBE IN ZAMBIA. IT GOES WAY BACK TO 1968 WHEN SOME WARPED UNZA MIND PRODUCED SOME WEIRD STATISTIC THAT TONGAS WERE THE MARJORITY TRIBE IN ZAMBIA ….. UP TO NOW TONGAS BELIEVE THAT BEING BEING THE “MARJORITY TRIBE” ZAMBIA OWES IT TO THEM TO RULE THIS LAND. … WHICH WILL NEVER COME TO PASS…… SO TILL THEN ALUTA CONTINUA, AND IT WILL BECOME MORE JUICIER AS AUGUST 2011 APPROACHES. INE NDELOLESHA FYE !!!!!!
For Tongas its not only in voting where they practice the vice but also in employment
Chisanga and his LAZ always spewing critical nonsense against the ruling party, but never a word against the rampart tribalism of the kachema fraternity. Shame on you Chisanga and your rotten constellation.
You layman….you have no locus standi to disparage my senior Counsel.
Senior Counsel Chisanga is Bemba and rubbishing discrimation and racism of PF.
Comment: Sensible minds do know and accept that there’s abusolutely nothing wrong with political parties in Zambia or anywhere else in the world having support bases or strongholds. The founders / leaders of these parties do have support bases or strongholds. But what’s unacceptable is for some of our Bemba compatriots vowing that a Tonga or Lozi will never rule Zambia solely on perceptions of tribalism. I’m pursuaded that in so doing, such themselves do practice the very tribalism vice that they vainly strive to accuse the Tongas and Lozis of. Someone please tell me: Why is it ‘tribalism’ to say that the time is ripe for a Tonga or Lozi to rule this country, but it’s ok for Dora Siliya and Rupiah Banda to openly tell the people of Eastern Province in the run-up to the January 20,…
I FEEL THAT THE THREE GUYS WITH THEIR GIRL FRIEND MUST BE JAILED OR REMOVED FROM THE POSITION THEY HOLD. KAMBWILI, CHANDA, CHAMA AND MUMBI ARE ALL FROM ONE REGION WHO LIKE TALKING NONSENSE AGAINST TONGA PEOPLE.
WE HAVE NOBLE BEMBA PEOPLE WHO RESPECT OTHER TRIBES BUT THE FOUR I DONT KNOW WHERE THEY CAME FROM. IT COULD BE FROM THE GRAVE OR FORESTS POLLUTED WITH TRIBALISM. LUNGU IF NOT CAREFUL, WILL LOSE DIRECTION AND FALL INTO THE BITCH OF SHAME.

Do you know that the amended Comstitution is nothing but a hijack by PF which introduced clauses that were NOT submitted by Zambians?
This is a Lungu driven chigamba constitution by Lungu for PF.
In kabwata, an urban constituency comprising Chairman Mr. Mambo Mweenda, Secretary Mr. George Michelo, and Vice Secretary Mr Ackim Moono. All from one tribe! Why! Are there no any other tribes in UPND in kabwata constituency? This advancement of tribal “supremacy’’ and total disregard for other tribes makes the rest of us resentful of UPND and its core tribalist leader HH. Despite the “good intention and management CV” by HH, we fear they may create what I would term a Tongacracy Government. A government of the Tonga’s by the Tonga’s for the Tonga’s.

LAZ LAZ LAZ, there was no discrimination mentioned by the Ministers. I have not heard any PF minister state that bembas or ngonis only can rule this country, not even Sata, he was too shrewd for that!
The only politicians who have specifically stated that their party “can only be headed by a tonga” and “it is time for a tonga president” are those in uPMD. And they have never retracted their statements (despite me urging them to do so countless times kikikikiki). That is the gist of the matter. No matter what LAZy’s Chisanga says, that tri…ball tag on uPMD will NOT go away until they own up. And it is the single thing that assures uPMD that they will never ever get elected to rule this country.
Even as the idea of alliances is being peddled around all the other opposition…

The PF has resorted to tribalism because who are they going to convince with their other lies they told us in 2011. Ati more money in our pockets, lower taxes, constitution in 90 days etc. They have achieved nothing and they know it. So what do you do when you have nothing to sale. Appeal to peoples base instincts such as tribe, racism, fascism like the Nazis etc. Read the Chitimukulus’s article and you who don’t read but just follow your useless leaders blindly will learn something. PF is tribal to the core and the people of Southern, Western and North Western know this and that’s why they don’t want to vote for the party.
I have serious concern with politicians who want to impose one language over others. What do you make of a politician who goes in an area dominated by one tribe but chooses to speak his tribal language to that group when that group does not understand that language? The main culprits are bemba politicians. Why cant such leaders choose to speak Nyanja a neutral language? Nyanja is like the swahili of Zambia. Nyanja does not belong to anyone, it has no paramount chief. It is true it borrows alot from eastern province tribes but it also borrows from bemba, tonga, lozi and even shona. A shona man is at home in Zambia because he understands some aspects of nyanja. Agreed bemba is the mostly widely spoken language in zambia but nyanja is the new major emerging language of Zambia. So clever…
Argue with facts.
In bye elections PF won seats in Livingstone, Mulobezi, Mangango, Zambezi West, Mufumbwe while UPND got very few votes in bemba speaking northern, Luapula and Muchinga regions. This contradicts what Hon Kambwili and father frank Bwalya are saying.
