KATUBA member of Parliament (MP) Jonas Shakafuswa says his relationship with United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema is at its lowest.

Mr Shakafuswa said in an interview yesterday that Mr Hichilema has his reasons why he has taken such a stance on him.

“People have been asking me what is happening with my relationship with UPND. Well, I will say my relationship with party president HH is at its lowest. He has his reasons which I respect,” he said in a posting on his Facebook page.

Mr Shakafuswa said he also hopes that Mr Hichilema respects his reasons as well.

But when asked to state the reasons why his relations with Mr Hichilema have deteriorated, Mr Shakafuswa declined to mention them, insisting that what is important for now is for people to know that his relationship with Mr Hichilema is low.

Efforts to get Mr Hichilema failed, but UPND spokesperson Charles Kakoma said in an interview that the relationship between Mr Hichilema and other party members is cordial.

Mr Kakoma said Mr Hichilema has never gone to Katuba to campaign against Mr Shakafuswa.

He said it is Mr Shakafuswa’s own alleged outbursts that have caused the relationship between him and other members to deteriorate.

    • Lungu has admitted that he offered Shakafuswa a ministerial post but he refused it. Now it looks like he wants to antagonize UPND. Does he have a better view of PF now than last year? He should just cross over to PF quietly and not be like Bashi Nono. There are no next times for pukucwes.

    • Look Jonas, the president has so many important matters to attend to. You can not be the only guy on his mind. The president can’t have a favourite boy at the expense of all of us. Please give it up and move on!

  1. JONAS, please just defect quietly. We have come to know people like you who are such shameless opportunists. Problem with Jonas is that he thinks highly of himself.

  2. You go on Facebook to insult your party president and his vice for no reason but to show off that you are tough and expect them to smile at you are you that special kind of stupidity Jonas? Please just go in peace we are tired of *****s like you.

  3. the boart is being filled up by more. you are well come jonas. your son is alreasdy in the borat. WELL COME ABOARD THE PF MARINE.

  4. Hon. Shaka you know very well you can stop this and work this out. If you think telling us that will help your perceived unwell relationship to normalize, you may be doing it the unfamiliar way. I feel there is something you can do right. People don’t have to go to your constituency to campaign all the time and you continue coming to tell us this and that all the time. I don’t if this sounds anything clear.

  5. You are just a traitor Jonas. Just officially join PF because you will never be adopted to stand on UPND, and unfortunately you will not be an MP after 8/11.You have always used UPND for your selfish reasons. You will not win Katuba on PF ticket or any other party. Its over for you.

  6. It’s about time for most of you serious politicians to put your leadership in power. Why should someone be proud to be in opposition forever? Upnd will never form govt. If you continue clining to it will will retire without flying a flag of Zambia on your car while seated at the rear left seat. HH never cares to be in opposition forever that’s why he can’t step down as party leader.

  7. Shakas you wonder why? You are the man who told Govt papers late last year that you will not continue with opposition leaders who oppose anything the PF is doing without offering solutions. Do you think HH, with all the alternative policies he has been offering, was happy with you? Just get ready to be adopted by PF this August and you will terribly lose in Katuba. We the people of Katuba don’t want PF. We will vote for anyone who will stand on UPND.

    • @ Kambwali, that is your own opinion that you will vote only for a person who stands on UPND. Mind you Shakas has his following too. He is popular in Katuba, that is why he won on UPND. Even if he were to stand on PF ticket, he would still win the seat. No hate for Shakas, let him decide what to do with his political career.

  8. Does it mean Kakoma has to defend everything. I thot he is different from kambwili. Better to continue with PF nothinf is better

  9. Jonas you left upnd at one time because ?evy was your uncle. You Came back and called others teshhi cishi cabanyokk when you wanted that sit back. Hope you are not ruining your political career with this unstable movements you make. Wishing you well in whatever you decide politically.

  10. Jonas will lose terribly if he decide to stand on PF ticket. Prices of commodities have hit the sky roof in 4 years PF has been in power. To hell PF

  11. Shaka has realized that the goat he is riding will drown in Election River and needs to board the boat (PF) for a safe cruise. Go ahead Shakas and make that wise decision… the boat is waiting. You cannot afford to miss it.

  12. I feel personal relationship with God is the best relationship before you consider your relationship with fellow man.Man will always disappoint you but God will never do so.As human being,we have weaknesses which beyond our livelihood.I would prefer one has a good relationship with Christ than breaking yourself on mundane relationship which is bound to break at any time.God’s relationship with man is unconditional.It will never change.It is the same.Much as you may need to have a cordial relationship with HH but God’s love surpasses that reltionship.
