RAINBOW Party leader Wynter Kabimba has confessed that he was a bad leader when he was Minister of Justice and secretary general of the Patriotic Front (PF) but has since repented because he now wants to be a good leader and citizen.
Mr Kabimba admitted that he made mistakes while serving as Justice Minister and secretary general of the PF but that did not mean that he could not have an opportunity to repent and become a good leader.
Answering questions from journalists after reading a communiqué by the opposition political parties at Courtyard Hotel yesterday, Mr Kabimba regretted having been faulty during his reign as Justice Minister and secretary general of the PF.
“I made mistakes when I was in the PF Government but that does not mean that I cannot have the opportunity to repent and become a good leader. I have repented. I could have been a bad leader when I was in Government. I am not perfect and I am faulty like any other human being,” Mr Kabimba said.
And Mr Kabimba has charged that the amended Constitution was not a legal document but a political one meant to prevent the opposition political parties from forming government.
Mr Kabimba said the amended Constitution would be trashed once another political party formed government because according to him, the Constitution did not reflect the desires and views of the people.
And Mr Kabimba has claimed that the current political atmosphere was not in favour of the PF and President Edgar Lungu and that the ruling party was not going to last beyond the 11th August general elections.
He said President Lungu and the PF would not be able to remain in Government after the August general elections and vowed that he was going to give away all his money to Zambians if they were going to retain the Head of State in State House.
Mr Kabimba said he had participated in many elections and had learnt to read the political landscape in the country and that according to him, President Lungu was not going to win the general election this year.
He said the Rainbow Party and other opposition political parties were going across the country to mobilise and ensure that the PF was voted out of Government.
“For those who believe PF and President Lungu are going beyond 11th August, let them come and I will give them my last dollar.
I have participated in elections and I know how to read the political landscape. I do not know who Zambians will vote for but I know whom they will vote against. The PF has no skills to win an election and we shall mobilise Zambians against the PF,” Mr Kabimba said.
I agree with him- it takes a man ( A real ma) to make such a confession
Either him or Sampa would make a great President- ONLY THEM
We respect you Mr. Kabimba , please come and join the Alliance
Yellow Alliance will sweep them all and form the next Government.
I have NEVER been wrong, although I am only 27- I am always right
Thanks

There are rumours that Kabima is interested in aligning worth UPND I think he will made a grave error.
Unlike HH who has failed 4 times- Orange ‘s record well so far is unprecedented.
Failing 4 times is.
Sampa is NOT young- He has the intensity of Abraham Lincoln, the longevity of Kaunda, the appeal pf mandela and the finesse of David Cameron.
Personally I see the Alliance gaining mileage, PF and UPND will hurt each other on the blindside, before they realise, Orange’s momentous gigantic steps towards Statehouse will be a forgone conclusion.
Mr Lungu has been a disaster, HH has FAILED 4 times, when you fail that many times- you don’t know what winning or success is.
Miles knows
Vote the Alliance
Thanks

He is saying he “could have been a bad leader…” meaning it hasn’t crossed his mind that he was. What kind of repentance is he then talking about? He is insincere. He is a hypocrite. The snake he once was is what he still is.
WELCOME BACK MUSHOTA?? THESE CONFESSIONS ARE NOT TRUE, HE JUST WANT VOTES. WE KNOW THEM ALL. WYNTER IS SUCH AN ARROGANT MAN. HE HAS NO HEART FOR OTHERS WHEN HE IS ON THE DRIVERS SEAT.
HE IS NOT A GOOD LEADER AND WILL NEVER EVER BE. LET HIS DAYS GO. IF HE WAS NOT POWER HUNGRY WHY DIDN’T HE JOIN UPND?
THEY SAY BEATEN ONCE TWICE SHY? ZAMBIANS WAKE UP NOT WITH THIS GUY AGAIN.
Kabimba has repented of his sins after he trying to make zambia one party state,,,, and Edgar lungu is headed for vatican city for confession with Pope!!,,,,,,,,what fear of lossing 2016 election can do,,, ala kuti wapena!!
Kikikiki……yaba! Ba Kabimba kuwayawayafye. I know the opposition is banking on job loses in the mining sector, the exchange rate and loadshading to win the 2016 elections………truth be told ECL is winning the elections. The electorate understands why the economy of our country has been going through this bad patch. Viva PF.
stop this fo.olery!
@Mushota. There is always a first time to be wrong! Even Kabimba knows that HH is forming govt.
Kabimba, you are forgiven. I love people who acknowledge their faults. In fact, it takes courage to repent or say “I am sorry”. We all have have our own short comings. But as for winning elections this year, Im not sure if Mr Kabimba will. Best for him is to partner with another opposition party or his choice.
Kabimba – a real man!
Kabimba – the real moron.
In Layman terms he is insinuating that- When the tough gets going. During the war of attrition, he will align with either the Yellow Alliance or the UPND
Trouble is UPND have FAILED FOUR TIMES- people have rejected Mr Hakainde. They DO NOT want UPND and the PF have lose cannons, literally ticking time bombs like Chama
here is my educated guess of what shall transpire ( I have an MBA, CIMA, PhD, MSc ACCA Bsc )
When the war attrition comes, when it is in the last round- closer to the 11th hour or 90th minute, only PF, UPND and Orange- will remain standing.
UPND and PF cant stand each other- HH will realise that his name is synonymous with failure, so he will quickly like Rainbow align with orange and ladies and gentlemen
Miles Sampa shall rightfully be the next president…
Orange tribal alliance – tili zeee… Sampa another Bisa-Bemba to become president? Who said Zambia belongs to Bembas only?
@Mushota ugly bitch always showing off what you don’t have, MBA,CIMA,PhD,MSc, ACCA Bsc, what a lie and you said you are earning £75,000.00 per annum. Mushota is not your name and you are a man for that I know with so much time on the net. You respond to every article because you have do much time in your sofa, because you have nothing to do.
Such lofty educational achievement. Congrats. Your grammar and spelling suck, though.
Maybe you need to take some grammar lessons.
Mushota, you Bemba Bimbo Biatch, according to you, Kabimba comes from a wrong tribe. So why are you lathering over his political machinations? Why don’t you just worry about the Yellow Bemba Alliance?
@Mushota. I suspect you are smoking weed! How many rimes did the former Brazilian President Lula da Silva fail at the ballot before succeeding and becoming one of Brasils best leaders? At only 27, l can see where your imnaturity comes from. Pls base your conclusions on facts! Not “l feel…”!!!
I give up my PhD if Mushota has one!!!
Abraham Lincoln Didn’t Quit
Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. If you want to learn about somebody who didn’t quit, look no further.
Mushota, I hope you do read history…It is only a persistent person that makes it in business. When you fall down, you must stand up and dust yourself and then continue on the Journey. HH has only failed 4 times, I want to give you an example of a man who became the greatest President after failing more times that HH has. This man is in the name of Lincoln…
“Born into poverty, Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown.
He could have quit many times – but he didn’t and because he didn’t quit, he became one of the…
who ever kills using a gun, he will also b killed by the same gun……being in power does not mean everything will b swt and nice for ever……..its good now that he has felt the same pain…….lets hope those in power will learn a lesson from him…..he has now tasted the bitter pill….
As a Minister of Justice this man should have had great respect for the law.
Instead he tried to illegally take over the Presidency unconstitutionaly when Sata was loaded on a plane as a cabbage.
This was an ATTEMPTED COUP! He should have been arrested and tried for TREASON!
No amount of “repenting” will change those facts. He should never be allowed to ever hold public office again. He cannot be trusted.
Thats good Wynter Kabimba you have confessed and have changed. The trouble is few people get two chances at something, so that may have been your only chance, but whats good is you didn’t miss the opportunity to learn something from it. As for the PF, only Zambians have the final say which sometimes unfortunately does not agree with what analysts predict, like history would testify.
Is this not the same Kabimba who played hide and seek over the fated constitution? Are our memories that short?
If he ever came to power this Kabimba will also commission an inquiry into the procurement and tender of crude oil again…they steal our money then use the selfsame monies to form political parties!!
When he was Minister of Justice this man should have had great respect for the law. He of all people should observe the law to the letter.
Instead he tried to illegally take over the Presidency unconstitutionaly when Sata was loaded on a plane as a cabbage.
This was an ATTEMPTED COUP! He should have been arrested and tried for TREASON!
No amount of “repenting” will change those facts. He should never be allowed to ever hold public office again. He cannot be trusted.
By the way, who stopped that “attempted coup”?
Second bite at the cherry is very far removed from your mouth Mr Winter. You are coming to a realisation that it is important to be a servant of the people eh? At the moment though, you are going no where slowly. Believe That!
What a goody! It’s beautiful. Thanks.
Good politics that’s what I could have said as well its politics you want votes it’s only a fool like kabili who makert himself negatively
CONFESSION FOR VOTES????????
That’s not a confession. ..please read again!!
Kabimba + Mmembe +HH = Disaster
Megalomaniac and egomaniacs make an explosive concoction.
We may forgive but we haven’t forgotten how you wanted to manipulate the constitution you are condemning that Chagwa has given to the people of Zambia. Remember the people wanted a 50 +1 threshold for the fourth coming election, Chagwa has done that despite the whole thing not being as perfect as it should be. I advise you take a moment of reflection instead of condemning the little Chagwa has done that you failed to do because of your selfish ambitions.Fake repentance.You’re just another wounded ,bitter PF member.
ba winter muleikalafye…who do u think will believe u.. it does not require one to do psycology that all you need is a vote and a vote aimed at fighting the ones who you think kicked u out of power. baba you had all the opportunity but because of your foolishness you lost what was in your hand. there is a saying that ‘a wise man will see danger and will avoid it but a fool will go straight into it
Winter, now how can we vote for you when your CD 4 count is now very low. We dont want a by election Winter please please. Winter, that’s when you have realized that you were a bad leader. Time is not with you unfortunately. You screwed up, even Fred Membe now knows the truth that you cant win any election. No wonder ba post are now behind MILES.
Hahahahaha!
Old man Sata and Wynter is the very reason the constitution draft was stowed and he has the audacity to say it will be trashed after millions of dollars have been wasted….simply read what the lawyer Wynter is saying cleverly hiding behind jargon only a f**l would believe him.
I still don’t like this chap
…..the only good ‘political leader’ a politician is a retired or a dead one….there is no such thing as a good political leader….the only feasible repenting he can do is to hang his political boots…..
….however, i’m convinced that we still have ‘smart’ leaders to lead us the problem is that we don’t have enough ‘smart’ electorate…..
This narcissistic so called “Politcian” -Wynter, is the definition of what is wrong with Zambian politics today.
Wynter singlehandedly done the most damage to the failed P.F, experiment, causing its speedy, current cancerous decline.
Any individual with a functioning brain would do their utmost best, to ensure they NEVER facilitate this parasite returning to the corridors of power.
This Greedy P1g can for a change be useful to mother Zambia, by “Going back to the land” where he can use his inherent Dictatorial traits to harass, & terrorise the soil, using his new found Cadres – (the tractor & hoe), thereby growing more food, & contributing something positive, lessening the hunger problem in Zambia.
THE GODFATHER OF CADERISM SHOULD NEVER RAISE HIS UGLY HEAD IN ZAMBIAN POLITICS…
I was a bad leader…too bad former bad leader now a deceptive leader. Too late ba winter maize…You know these issues of climate change, they have stopped accommodating the so cold normal rain season at it used to be in olden days. No matter what guys from meteorological company will do climate change has no hears to that….
Mr. Kabimba,
as much as you have “repented” for your past “sins”, whilst one of the most senior and powerful people in PF and Member of the Cabinet, can you confess openly to the People of Zambia?
After all, if you ask for forgiveness from the voters, it will be fair on the voters to know what they are forgiving you for!!!
You were unique in badness and left us excited after your dismissal. No thank you on resources offer as you will need it most after August 11.
He was and is still a bad leader. But thumbs up on the confession. How do I know he is a bad leader, he is preaching socialism which hasn’t worked anywhere on this planet. And despite all those papers ba Mushota, disappointed to see you believe a socialist ideology is what the country needs.
The next 6 months Zambian politics will be like a mafia movie. I just hope the ending will be a good one for the poor and the greater majority.
Kabimba, its evident that your record is well documented and neither can the emergence of alliances save you. Attempting to camouflage yourself as a reformed and repented person is an exercise in futility.
It was going to make sense if you resigned from PF. Did you have to be fired to know you were a bad leader?
Ba Wynter,now you agree that you were a BAD leader?! When your colleagues were against you, cadres demonstrating for your removal as SG of PF you and your Guy Scott were saying they were tribalists!Good that you have grown out of that misinformed mantra especially after PF central committee rejected Sata’s relatives ,other “bembas” from taking over PF but passed presidency to Lungu! You have learnt lessons now!Even the PF which you commanded like a personal property had those started it but just accommodated you to make a contribution. But you took over,made old members look foreign! You are condemning a constitution which Lungu signed when you had continuously opposed its enactment-so nothing new!Whoever you will campaign for,you will just make them loose- you are so unpopular!!
its apology time. everyone is now apologising. kwena pa zed
It’s Christian nation whatever that means…you can steal millions and simply say to the docile masses I repent…they ever sleepy masses will respond by saying “Amen” oblivious of the origins of the selfsame phrase!!
Kabimba was a trecherous character who was willing to be used by Sata to promote the interests of Bembas at the expense of other tribes. For example, Kabimba was conveniently tasked to spearhead the removal of English as the official language of Zambia and systematically replace it with Bemba.
Kabimba woke up one morning and started issuing evil plans to abolish the teaching of the English language in schools and adopt a local language to be the official language. Zambians knew staight away what this was all about and voiced out their disgust.
Fortunately the plan never progressed because before long Kabimba, who believes his Sala tribe is inferior was fired for his out-of-control arrogance. What he is saying now is nothing but a cheap campaign strategy.
Iwe The London Eye,
which campaign strategy is Kabimba offering, you mean when he say he can “read the political landscape”, that is a strategy?
Give me break !!! He has not offered anything, actually, people we all are wasting our precious time reading and reacting to such garbage from such leaders.
Zambian Politics is like a bad Soap Opera, with opposition politicians taking on roles of actors that can’t act! Look Kabimba use your head. Your confession is just you finally accepting public opinion of you. You will always be a bad Leader because you are a Greasy Organ Grinders Monkey. Stop it with the cheap tunes, put your ill fitting top hat back on your thick skulled head and walk away. If you are are so skilled in reading the signs, PF has nothing to worry, because it is guaranteed they will have more votes than you will. You prevented amendments to Constitution in your time now you accuse PF for amending it to your disadvantage, yet you apologise for having been a bad Leader….Confused! Nope it gets worse in the next episode. Stay tuned folks!
“He said President Lungu and the PF would not be able to remain in Government after the August general elections and vowed that he was going to give away all his money to Zambians if they were going to retain the Head of State in State House.”
As usual, typical Zambia politicians!!!!! this is a missed opportunity, he has repented, now he should have said, this is what I want to do if you elect me……, but instead firing on PF. Why should you vote for such a leader? He is pretending he has learnt from his mistakes, but doing the same mistakes.
Zambians, wake up and dont vote for such leaders without programs that offer change to lives of normal Zambian
A leopard does not change its spots. Kabimba is the same arrogant, yesterday, today , tomorrow and forever.
Yes, and just still as obstinate! How uncanny he can be…
Nothing has changed, you are still a bad leader, bad politician, if anything you are worse than ever before. And you are the most disrespected politician in Zambia today.
If you participated in the August 2016 elections you would be assured of the 1 vote and not the 50%.
shame!!!wynter arrogant chibimba.already he is bribing the zambians not vote for PF
the current gvt has failed lets put a new one.
A leopard never changes it s spots. Kabimba was arrogant in his ka post now what would happen if he got thee chi post? God forbid and protect us from this viper. He will be a dictator.
@Mushota namano yalishota.
Who can believe you that you have those papers here?
Mulifinsh nafinshi? Don’t they include witchcraft?
Mushota is a villager. Works in the village pakantemba.
Kabimba is right. Let him upnd and others to remove the poverty founders pf.
He is a fierce fighter. No pf will stop him.
He is on the right track.
Naiwe chi patriot abrodo ichindike.
You have become the cleverest fool here.
Kabimba is at liberty to apologize and chart the way forward. He is actually more honest than the poor performers pfools you support.
But inside you, you know that your pf is going. You can only change people’s minds by improving the economy and fulfill the 2011 election promises.
Going by the way things are, you are doomed bwana chabula mano.
What? Are you blind deaf dumb with no coping strategy? Only a trouble maker can write drivel like this. You are not convincing in any way, and even you can’t believe yourself.
Regretted having been faulty?
If someone say ‘ I may have made a mistake’ it means he is not really acknowledging this mistake but u made him aware of what u think is a mistake but to him it was not a mistake. How do u repent if u don’t acknowledge the mistake. On what ground is kabimba saying he is repenting. NEVER trust such. Just like Sampa, 2 weeks ago he said he will die a PF member, it emerged that he became Df leader 2 years back. How do trust such. It’s like a man who tells wife I will never divorce u till death do us apart, 2 weeks later files divorce and u discover he had been married to another woman for past 2 years. Its junk seriously. Walk the talk.
Eating humble pie induced your fake repentance.Kabimba what makes you think that taste of power won’t go to your head again?
That is when the upnd shall find these elections very easy because as pf we easily get distructed .Why waste our energies on kabimba,when the upnd are already a party of choice even before campaigning. Let’s be sharp and put proper strategies for winning the 2016 elections in place.l can’t imagine the sight of our Edgar Lungu weeping after losing the elections.Let’s bring the solar hammermills to copperbelt so that mealie meal becomes cheap and create employment.Wake,PF wake up.
Bakabimba mukazinkala chabe mmm! Why won’t u confess everything? Akubepeni abobene abalubana kale.
‘He said President Lungu and the PF would not be able to remain in Government after the August general elections and vowed that he was going to give away all his money to Zambians if they were going to retain the Head of State in State House’.
IF YOU WYNTER WAS GOD JEHOVAH THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS, I WOULD HAVE BELIEVED YOU MORE THAN 1000%; BUT YOU ARE JUST AN IMPERFECT MORTAL MAN, WHO CANT EVEN PREDICT WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU OR TO ZAMBIA IN THE NEXT 5 MINUTES. WE SHALL WAIT FOR YOUR MONEY, BEING IMPERFECT YOU ARE , YOU WILL AGAIN REPENT ATLEAST CAN PREDICT THAT
HH can do better without Wynter and Mulongoti. these guys will just spoil his chances
Too late bwana – you hid the final draft constitution in your office when you were Justice Minister.
No matter how rain beats the Leopard it does not wash away its spots. Njoka ni njoka. Winter sanzachinja…
I remember him firing Lameck Mangani in front of the latter’s subordinates and cameras. Good leaders don’t do that
kkkkk Ba Wynter your eyes have opened you think we have forgotten that you went around the world collecting cheques with one Chibeskunda in the name of financing party activities but where you honest NO! you pocket half the proceeds. NEXT you had the constitution at your feet but kept it in the drawer…you then tried to mislead cabinet that you should be the one to manage government even though MCS had asked ECL to hold the affairs of the state when the late went to die…Oh and we have records that you sold a council house to Lee V. Rodgers in Lubu rd contrary to council resolution NOT to sale houses to a foreigner and of course you and Masebo sold yourselves the prize catch when your affair was rife….SHUT UP!
And who do you think you can fool Wynter?Uwakalema takaleka.Old habits die hard.Indeed you were a bad leader, no wonder almost the entire nation celebrated your dismissal in 2014.Anyone would be very foolish to trust you again.
Wynter don’t lie that you’ve repented. How can a repented person utter such blatant contradictions in a single breath? First you claim that the new constitution is being used by the PF to prevent the opposition from forming government. Then in the same breath you suggest that when a new party forms government they must trash the new constitution (do you mean forming government under a constitution that’s meant to prevent them?). As if that’s not enough a contraction, you go on to declare “that the current political atmosphere (which I believe includes the new constitution) was not in favour of the PF and President Edgar Lungu and that the ruling party was not going to last beyond the 11th August general elections”. Which is which ba Wynter? TRULY SUCH MISLEADING CONTRADICTIONS…
Mr kabimba, careful on that point you made “the amended Constitution would be trashed once another political party formed government” coz we wont vote for you. we don’t want to go into another jurny of making the constitution. my advice is read it, embrace it and run with it until you win peacefully .
