President Lungu at Woman’s Day Event

Katuba Member of Parliament Jonas Shakafuswa says he will support President Edgar Lungu in this year’s general elections.

Mr Shakafuswa said President Edgar Lungu is a humble man who is willing to learn and listen.

He says he is not looking for a position but wants a better Zambia for all.

Mr Shakafuswa said the country is above tribal and regional boundaries.

But UPND deputy spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa says the decision by Mr Shakafuswa is unfortunate.

Mr Mweetwa said it is disheartening that the Katuba Member of Parliament has decided to repay the UPND in such a manner.

    • Ifintu ni Lungu……..HH has become like that product in a shop or market that people keep looking at without buying it and all what the seller does is to dust it everyday.

    • I have a farm in katuba and I know that the people of Katuba have decided to feature Patricia mwashingwele because Jonas is a turn coat.He is brother in law to mwila ,so he now a member of PF.All UPND stractures warned shakafuswa against his plans and even threatened to beat him up.HH is aware and he(jonus)knows he is not popular and if he stands he will lose.

    • @Mature
      The Party has already started…all roads now lead to Matero…CBI building…..let’s do a victory lap…..need I say I say more

      ” Munjeleleko ba Zambia munjeleleko”

      “Recalldockingcordinates”

      2016 vote PF ( Edgar )

      I thank you

    • Personally i want PF and Lungu to win so that Zambians can learn a lesson or two about voting for people who can not see beyond their nose. Give PF another 5 years and the country will collapse and people will lean a lesson because all the signs are there for everyone to see that EL is a failed project.

    • HH and Nawakwi need to start collaborating at the earliest. With Nawakwi as running mate and subsequently, vice president after winning the election in August. This is the simplest formula for winning.

    • Either party has been poaching, one from the other. By Zambian political standards, it’s altogether an ideal political reality – milk each other’s cows!

    • When they say politicians are liars, they don’t mean only lying to voters but also to the fellow politicians. Was this not the same shakafuswa who was jobless until UPND adopted him to stand on their ticket? UPND has been dribbled by a politician. Kikikik hahaha kikikikik

    • If the guy was pf or mmd coming to upnd every pf cade ‘s tongue would have tasted the word ” recycled politician” but same guy leaving upnd to join pf creates jubilation in green ituri rain forest.

    • The man who likes chewing – chews flesh at parly hotel, has chewed MMD & now UPND money, eko tuya, lets now chew PamaFi money!!! PamaFi also has the type of flesh that he likes chewing, what with characters like “Dola Taangalala”, “Mumbi Fibili”, who knows he could be lucky with “mama Tasintha”

      #chagwamustfall!!

      Vote UPND 2016!!

      I thank you!!

  1. SUPPORTING HIS SON CHRISTOPHER WHO IS STANDING AS EXECUTIVE MAYOR OF LUSAKA .SO THE DECISION IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF THIS !

  2. Everyone knows that UPND is going nowhere this year. End of UPND this year is in sight. The bad seeds have gone to (HH).

  3. I salute u Hon Shakafuswa. Lungu needs dynamic and focussed young leaders like u to help develop this country..

  4. He is a traitor who used the upnd party to get into parliament. Why didn’t he stand on PF ticket during last elections?

    • UPND should have known better! Jonas is absolutely a very childish old ar.se!! He has turned against UPND twice now – first to MMD under Mwanawasa and now to PF!! UPND should have kept their principles and not listened to their emotions!
      Let him go and wish him well!! Jonas is a finished politician who has jumped because he knows he will not be adopted by UPND, as long as HH; GBM & CB remain leaders. An Old man who sees women as sex objects to please MPs has place in UPND….AM VERY HAPY he has gone to a party with his values!!

  5. There must be something wrong about UPND. It is Shakafuswa we are talking about here. This is is the man who was beaten and thrown in jail by PF in numerous by elections. For him to forget all those beatings or at least count them as nothing compared to staying in UPND under the leadership of under 5 HH is telling to say the least.

    And worse still to have a vice President openly say that when we come into power I will revenge is jaw dropping if not self implosion.

    • Shikulu MMD Bootlicker, with due respect, shikulu, could you please stick commenting on the finished MMD affairs and not any other party’s.

    • @Zezemba
      Leave MMD chiefbootlicker alone….he is one of the most respected bloggers on LT

      2016 vote PF ( Edgar )

      I thank you

    • Believe me he is protecting his belly and nothing else. Zambian politicians lack integrity. How can one person jump from a party to another when parties have different ideologies.

    • Hypocrisy baba. So there’s nothing wrong with MMD? Nevers was teargassed in Lundazi but he has decided to rally behind PF. Dora Siliya had her seat nullified and dragged to court by PF on fake corruption charges, Lucky Mulusa was humiliated by PF, he was thrown out of Parliament by PF. Your godfather, RB, whom you bootlick was undressed and humiliated by PF, his immunity removed by Edgar Lungu’s PF, he was defended by UPND whom you’re insulting now. Ungrateful chaps!!

    • @MMD Chief Bootlicker:
      What an Old senseless Ar.se you are!! This is UPND and we are a party of discipline! We will not miss a FAT OLD MP who adds no values and only thinks of women as sex objects after parliament.
      Actually why dont you concentrate on your finished party, MMD, – the suspended Mbulakulima has suspended Winnie Zaloumis! What a nuisance and laughing stock MMD has become. No principles without known leaders at the moment and everyone suspended!

    • So is #Katondo boys is none other than Ambassador Mwamba to Manilla, Phillipines or Mwamba in Pretoria, South Africa???

      Which ever it turns out to be, these are hard core party cadres “whose god is their belly”, no future in any sector of the economy other than as parasites and low life feeding off the sweat of their colleagues.

  6. Shaka, is always like that, he does not know where bread is buttered. He is a fool, coz, UPND, has nhas been considered as …..

  7. Shakafusha just the livingstone MP now PS copperbelt have been threaten and given brown evelops by Lungu.UPND is not worried we are getting both Katuba and livingstone its awell known fact.

    • Why are insulting him, honestly for what. You guys you comment on other political parties and once others do the same ninshi kubatuka

    • Agreed @ Mwape

      Insults are as a result of people failing to articulate issues. I don’t agree with Boot licker and Ambassador Mwamba but I respect their opinions just like they should respect mine without being derogatory in any way!

    • @Chomba Mutale
      You have a very beautiful name….please don’t insult MMD chiefbootlicker

      2016 vote PF ( Edgar )

      I thank you

    • Right on UPND should just let him go and wish him well. They should put him behind their aspirations as they move ahead. Make reference to him every now and then will just be a distraction its best to let his new found love for PF worry about what next for him. If it is Patricia Mwashingwele for UPND let the campaigns for her get into full gear at least she makes part of the female adoption percentage!

  8. Politics! Politics! Politics!

    Strange bedfellows are order of the day. I recall GBM threatening HH over the PF militia training in Sudan story. Then one Fred Mumembe was the nemesis of HH. One time Guy Scott was PF everything dishing it out to the opposition. And remember the infamous tearing of Sata speech in Parliament by bashi Iris? What of the celebration of the fall of Wynter by GBM?

    • they are a bunch of shameless politicians who think we forget easily, or maybe upnd do.
      how else can one explain all these ‘strange bedfellows’ hh is embracing in the name of – politics is about numbers.
      they all now look very hungry ferociously greedy and we should do better to reject them come 11 august.
      infact even bashi iris should rest from politics and find something else to do…..

  9. What change are we talking about old failures are being re-admitted in UPND, fresh blood regroup and move in either in PF or DF since most of the dead wood will leave after parliament is dissolved . OMG PF may entice the real change compared to UPND. The risk UPND may have is that of overshadowed young vibrant members by these chaps who are shamelessly crossing over. If I had a choice my advice to all stakeholders would be let’s form a coalition government so that we can refine our constitution after which we call for
    fresh elections. It is very important for a young democracy like Zambia to have a constitution that can stand the test of time. Through a coalition government issues of presidential powers ,separation of power,independence of the judiciary would adequately be addressed…

  10. upnd, your parliamentary seats will continue to shrink – originally from 40, to now 20. After august it will be 10 only. Wait and see, more of your MPs are going to leave, wait when you announce your one-man-selected-MP list.

    • The party of intellectuals that does not practice internal democracy but embraces corrupt elements such as gbm and Membe.

  11. In fact most of us who know honorable Shakafuswa from UNZA times were surprised when he joined UPND in it’s current form. UPND was an option party when Mazako was leader of UPND. Even as we speak today, UPND has no national identity, it’s not defined by anything other than envy, bitterness, violence, jealous and pettiness.
    PF has a very serious development agenda of infrastructure bulding, the this which every serious economy considers as a basis to grow. We are witnessing this by President Lungu in PF, but no message of hope from HH and UPND except boasting that am rich.

    • Keep dreaming and consoling yourself, judgement is coming soon. Any reasonable person knows this bull called Shakafuswa is a restless soul, he has no idea of what he wants in life. With the decision he has taken, he will consign himself to his village farm as a peasant farmer!

    • @ ECL Zambia’s Choice 2016
      I hope you have adequate shock absorption, because a shocker awaits you dear friend. Nothing will stop change from happening this year. Ask RB with all his expenditure on the infamous Formula One road projects and how he still tumbled to MCS? And RB was better than ECL.

  12. ba unpd, we have not head anything about your selection process for pipo to be elected – from councillor, mayor to MPs. its obvious the process wont be democratic. Just 1 man (who never cuts his hair) will sit and issue out a list of his bootlickers!! He cant even help empower his own party members. How can u be boasting of being rich when others, sitting right next to you, cant even afford to pay rent for a ka house? And then you lie to pipo that you will empower the WHOLE country. Jesus preached about helping the hungry, right next to you. Emwe bana GBM money yenufye. The rest of the pipo shld be praising and knelling to you.

    • @HH Forwad

      You said the same thing before the January 15 elections…and yes you are free to dream again and hallucinate like Spaka like lilo and Zezemba

      2016 vote PF ( Edgar )

      I thank you

    • Ba mwamba
      There is dignity in acknowledging thay things are bad for you. ECL is vacating state house no matter how loud PF denies that fact.

  13. Let jokers continue dreaming about UPND getting unpopular. Jonas once ditched UPND to MMD. He was later readmitted to the UPND. The people of KATUBA will not and can never vote for PF. Infact its the PF that is losing ground every second. Where have they broken new grounds lately?? Come on dreamers UPND is on the rise.

  14. Spaka like lilo….don’t commit suicide my dear friend…
    “this is Politics”

    2016 vote PF ( Edgar )

    I thank you

  15. Regionalism and tribalism have no place in Zambia in 2016. Shakas has seen for himself at close range what Upnd stands for. Where someone comes from is all that matters. Nothing else.
    Shame.

    • @Arm chair critic
      Well said my friend…Shakafuswa deserves credit..he is always respected wherever he goes….

      2016 vote PF ( Edgar )

      I thank you

    I thank you

    • @26.1 Buck teeth Lungu

      I thank you

    • @ katondo boys, mobilization group is on the ground, will do our best.

      From your friends in Livingstone 2016

  18. ECL Zambia…-hope you are normal & not also not physically death & blind-Moreover,your english is pathetic & you claim to have been at UNZA with such a poor political analysis over Shakafuswa’s birth right in a democratic sovereign state!In any case,yours together with MMD Bootliker needs brain transplant or its an issue of Zika virus epilepsying you grey matter resulting in comatose & seizures!This Shaka thing left UPND for MMD under Mwanawasa & so his actions aren’t anathemic to his known antics!Shaka has been courting PF & knows very well that he won’t be adopted by UPND!Fellow bloggers,let us seriously consider upgrading our grey matter rationally so that we analyse & articulate social issues radically & proactivelly.We can’t envisage another five years under PF’s rule.Only…

    • in short you are saying, if we change and support ka hh, then we would have ‘upgraded our grey matter rationally’.
      thats cheap thinking ma boy…

  19. The man doesn’t know if he is coming or going. If I was a family member of some of these characters I would be bowing my head in shame. They behave like children is all I can say.

    • Seems like you are talking about a certain fat wife beater – GBM I believe he is called. He certainly does not know whether he is coming or going hence his refusal to relinquish his PF Kasama seat whilst being a vice president in UPND. And the wise HH endorses his fence sitting.

    • @Ngware
      “Am a very small man but I walk around carrying a big stick”

      “I will fall on you like a ton of bricks”

      2016 vote PF ( Edgar )

      I thank you

  20. Those who are still day dreaming that UPND will ever form govt in Zambia will have a rude shock in August,2016.One province Southern alone can not deliver or make one become President.Fat John failed to deliver Lubanseshi to UPND and despite the cosmetic joining by people like bashinono,support from Bwinjimfumu road etc,Zambians are of the view that PF is a better Party and their record in just five years is admirable.Therefore,Shaka has made a wise decision and no doubt, he will retain his seat.

  21. it’s safe to realise that money is not wealth because it cannot buy people. personal wealth is also built on charisma,an attribute possessed by few. wealthy politicians won’t need to be rich to win elections. infact even the poor will give to them for that purpose. mc sata was one such politician

  22. Even in Southern province,PF has impressed the people.Niko Monze road,Bottom road,Township roads, Modern hospitals in Choma,Munyumbwe,Kalomo,Kazungula plus 98 clinics,Secondary and primary schools,several dip tanks,E-Voucher system,Modern offices for gvt departments and houses……the list is endless.What will UPND offer better than what PF is doing apart from just promoting tribalism ? I am a Tonga but my vote will be directed by objectivity and not tribe like the way we voted in January 2015.

  23. High cost of living is not affecting one province. The hardships being experienced in the country are affecting all Zambians in all the ten provinces. The cost of mealie meal is way over K100.00, high exchange rates, high interest rates, high cost of agro inputs and high cost of essential commodities is killing every one. Only a fool can allow PF to bounce back. Look at the misery on the copperbelt.

  24. Conelius Mweetwa is very disappointed…..it is what it is…HH had a serious man to man talk with Mweetwa when he saw that Mweetwa was siding with PF….i don’t blame you Mr Mweetwa as for now UPND butters your bread but feel free to come and visit me at my house in Matero

    2016 vote PF ( Edgar )

    I thank you

  25. UPND is nothing but a tonga party!!THEY JUST MAKE NOISE ONLINE WHILE DREAMING ABOUT THE PRESIDENCY!!!katuba was the only seat UPND had in Central province,now since Jonas Shakafusha is about to stand on PF,upnd may remain with no seat in Central!FORGET ABOUT ITEZHI-TEZI WHICH WAS IN SOUTHERN BEFORE SATA TOOK IT TO CENTRAL!!MMD AND PF HAVE WON SEATS IN CENTRAL THAN UPND IN 2011!!if upnd is about to form Govnt,can Nevers Mumba’s MMD,Jonas Shakafusha and others agree to work with PF?WINNING THE PRESIDENCY IS NOT A JOKE GUYS!!ONE HAS TO WIN IN MORE THAN 6 OR SO PROVINCES,BUT CAN HH WITH HIS TONGA PARTY UPND ACHIEVE THAT ON 11/08/2016 SOMETHING THEY HAVE FAILED TO ACHIEVE SINCE 2006 UNDER HH?its almost impossible!!!

  26. UPND leadership will implode soon, and it’s supporters will not know what hit their leadership. You can’t just change your stance like a chameleon and bring on board corrupt elements, militia leaders, cartel…all the things that you condemned not so long ago today you embrace and yet claim to be the same UPND that was founded on fighting corruption and introducing new politics and new economic management in the country. Where are your principles UPND? What do you stand for? At least we know that Kabimba and his Rainbow claim to be a socialist party? What is is your ideology UPND? Fighting corruption corruptly? No HH it can’t work, come back to your senses young man, realign your compass and destination to where Andy wanted to take the party.
    Because of the wrong things that you have…

  27. Because of the wrong things that you have done these past few months, best thing to do is to postpone your ambitions, realign and reorganize yourself and start planning for 2021. Don’t be misled by the crowds that your corrupt “friends” seem to have amassed to please you, your newly found “friends” who just want ministerial positions. The crowds are not genuine, mark my words. It is this misreading of deceptive crowds that makes politicians to claim that elections are rigged and refuse to accept results. Those crowds that you see at your rallies only give their verdict on polling day itself, you can never read their minds until they allow you to do so when the vote counting ends.
    But UPND, why do I have to repeat this for you? You have seen it for yourself many times before,…

  28. @Wise Head
    Great comment….Like i said before…HH had a very good game plan but his poor finishing will cost him the August 11 elections…Now he is spending most of his time trying to bail out thugs from police cells….HH looks somehow disoriented if you take a close look at him…and now he is eating rice with Mmembe and Kabimba on the same plate with a short spoon…that’s suicidal…..

    Anyway

    2016 vote PF ( Edgar )

    I thank you

    Matero constituency it’s money in the bank already

  29. Complaining of been sidelined by hh for some time, but surely such a grown up does he need to be bottlefeed by hh and to be told where, how, why, which and what to do, he always wanted hh to be by his side, upnd is one large family where everyone is treated equally.

    • you are very right, upnd is one large southern province family where everyone is treated equally.
      well, at least i am conforted by the fact that southern province is not zambia bwana divider….

  30. This is how elections are won….very simple..no rigging…and like what Dennis Liwewe once said “Kalusha Bwalya,twice he has been obstructed like that and this Syrian referee hasn’t given the Egyptian defender any yellow card..no nothing no nothing…these
    guys have a hidden agenda”

    2016 50%+1 YES WE CAN

    I thank you

  31. Guess who’s next….Cornelius Mweetwa….it’s a matter of time

    “Recalldockinginstructions”

    I thank you

  32. Guess who’s next….Cornelius Mweetwa….it’s a matter of time

    “Recalldockinginstructions”

    I thank you

    • Siugona pali Cornelius? Are you a homo sapien? You done your catch, watch out for our next catch. We always do it bigger and better than you.

  33. I THOUGHT THIS WAS ALREADY DECIDED. SHAKAFUSWA WAS ALREADY WIDELY BELIEVED TO HAVE SWITCHED TO SUPPORTING PF. IN ANY CASE IT IS HIS DEMOCRATIC RIGHT TO DO SO. HE IS FREE TO SUPPORT THE PF IF HE WANTS.
    WHATS THE PRICE OF MEALIE MEAL? HAS THE PF AND LUNGU TAKEN CARE OF LOAD SHADING? THE SPORADIC SHORTAGES OF FUEL STILL GOING ON.GBM ARRESTED FOR NO GOOD REASON EXCEPT BECAUSE HE IS IN OPPOSITION AND KAINGU TREATING UNZA AND CBU LIKE HIS OWN KANTEMBA. THIS IS CALL TO ACTION. ALL UNZA AND CBU STUDENTS THE TIME IS HERE AND THE TIME IS NOW. WE MUST USE THE BALLOT BOX AND GET RID OF LUNGU, PF AND KAINGU!!!!!

  34. HH will never be President of Zambia as they is nothing to suggest so.
    1. Copper prices have started to rebound on international market meaning kopala ni pa bwa too
    2. God has answered our prayers and it’s raining normally meaning reduced loadshedding and no starvation in Zambia.
    3.New constitution in place meaning only a party with a national character, PF, can win these elections
    4.We are experiencing serious development in PF under HE Edgar Chagwa Lungu
    5. Fat Albert and HH have made a biggest mistake of their lives by threatening the life of our beloved President, their true colours of personal agenda exposed
    6. Zambia is a a Christian nation and NOT for satanists and wife beaters.

  35. @Loadist:Zambia is much bigger than unza and cbu family!!not even 3 or 4 provinces can make HH win!!CANT U SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING AT SOUTH AFRICAN UNIVERSITIES WHICH ARE ALSO CLOSED?then over load shedding,hh just like Edgar Lungu cannot bring the rains to make Kariba dam full!!!ITS THE ALMIGHTY GOD TO BRING RAINS!!mealie meal prices is high due to a CARTEL WHERE YOUR GBM IS!!THEY ARE TRYING TO PAINT PF BLACK,SO WE KNOW YOUR FAKE TRICKS!!if gbm meant well for mother Zambia,he could have rejected the “CARTEL-MEALLERS” TO MAKE HIS MEALIE MEAL CHEAP LIKE ALIKO DANGOTE HAS DONE TO CEMENT!!!SO WE CANNOT HATE PF OVER YOUR FAKE CLAIMS!!WE STILL BELIEVE THAT PF MEANS VERY WELL FOR ZAMBIA!!

    • @Eddy YOU SUPPORT FOR THE PF IS COMMENDABLE HOWEVER THE FACTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. LUNGU AND THE PF HAVE FAILED DISMALLY. YET YOU PROUDLY SING THEIR SONG DESPITE THE EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY. THE ZAMBIAN ECONOMIC DEGENERATION HAS BEEN THE WORSED IN THE WORLD IN THE LAST 14 MONTHS. LOOK AT INFLATION INDICATORS. WITH ALL THE IMBALANCE OF OUR BALANCE OF PAYMENTS AND THE LUCK OF INFLOW OF FORIEGN EXCHANGE AND OUR LOW GDP EXPLAIN WHY WE SHOULD BE HAVING ESCALATING INFLATION. THE ANSWER IS…….? A GOVERNMENT THAT HAS NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

  36. Lusakatimes your hearsay stories, this is not news. stories like these you find only on Lusakatimes. Unverified and invalidated. You campaigning for PF so our country dives into more problems. Bootlicker why can’t you advice your now alliance party and ask them what they did with all the borrowed money. We have nothing to show forth and they want to borrow even more. We didn’t need IMF now we are on our knees for IMF because of PF.

    • LEAVE LUSAKA TIMES ALONE
      I read the Post, Daily Nation and The PF Times of Zambia; but LT is more balanced. Give credit where it is due. Don’t embarrass our party. If you have nothing to write go and campaign, time is running out. Unfortunately you have fielded an all time failure THE HH.

  37. Tee…hee…heeeeeee…UPND is foaming at the mouth collectively!
    Mwayisene ba Shakafuswa(welcome)! You are a man of integrity and one that will serve his Country and not a power hungry man who has lost his way. We’ll done, he deserves a ministerial post, we need more Tongas in the next gov t.

  38. @Katondo boys

    Do.you.have anything else to do other than blogging for.PF?

    You.do well for the party you love to advise them.to.resolve these matters if they are to.retain power: stop.indiscriminate expensive borrowings, stop corruption, reduce.prices of.groceries and foodstuffs, reduce inflation. Lower Kwacha exchange rate to K5. Stop beating opponents at markets.
    Do t.this and you have my vote.

    • @Mailos

      2016 vote PF ( Edgar )

      I thank you

      Matero constituency it’s money in the bank already

    • BITTER LESSON FOR UPND. REMEMBER MY WORDS
      I spoke often, and several times was misunderstood and called all sorts of names especially after denouncing HH as the 2016 as the party’s presidential candidate. There is more water under the bridge as people are wondering how the party will get 50+1 votes this year. It is a total nightmare and there is likely to be chaos at the loss on 12 August because people have suffered enough, advice not taken. This tendency to ignore timely advice has been the worst creeping worm in the party, but the foolhardy and simple minds can not see anything wrong with fielding HH. Trouble ahead. I would rather pay K10 and read the Post “that digs deeper” than be subjected to this NONSENSE.BB

  39. kikikikiki SHAKAFUSWA the expelled UPND MP & PF minister of diffence whom the PF judiciary never accepted his expulsion from UPND knowing that the never respected Zambian constitution regarding the same case would have called for a by-election and Shakafuswa being the traitor of the people who sent him to parliament would have lost the seat through the ballot?

  40. PF wawa,,,, you’ve done free campaign for UPND through your lies that you were the “all inclusive government”,.. You see now why the upright minded have been against choosing opposition MP to be in cabinet of the ruling party? it’s because ISABI LIBOLA KU MUTWE, and when the fish is rotten up to its head, it means there’s nothing to be called fish anymore, but to be thrown away. PF has been thrown into the rubbish bin by the well meaning Zambian citizens who are critical yet realists on a day-to-day living.. ZAMBIA WAKONKANYAPO UKUNSEBANYAAAA!!

  41. Why not Shaka?….go for it…If Uncle Bob, Bashi Nono can jump ship across 3 parties and offer his ass services, then Shaka, kuti azi chaiyla nayeve!

  42. I come from Katuba and own business interests there. This man Jonas is not grateful. The people of Katuba didnt want him but voted for the party – UPND. He has done nothing in the constituency – bad roads, bridges, etc. We will meet him head-on in the field. Good luck to him.

  43. LIKE SOLWEZI CENTRAL MP SO WILL BE SHAKAFUSWA AND HE HAS DUG A HOLE FOR HIMSELF. I DID NOT HERE YESTERDAY A POINT FOR HIM TO LEAVE UPND BUT WHAT I HEARD HIM PRAISING ECL WAS THAT HE WAS A HUMBLE MAN TO HIM AND NOT HARD WORKER. THERE ARE SO MANY HUMBLE PEOPLE BUT ARE LAZY LIKE PF LEADERSHIP WHICH DEPEND ON DEBTS FOR CREATIVITY. WHEN YOU ARE DEBTOR, YOU BECOME A MASTER TO YOUR RECIEVERS AND YOUR RECIEVERS BECOME SLAVES.

  44. Just to correct the record, Shakafuswa won upnd the Katuba seat and not that upnd won Shakafuswa the Katuba seat. Shakafuswa himself is more popular than upnd.

  45. UPND is under 5 regional Tonga political party. Only a Tonga can be UPND leader and only a Tonga can vote for UPND. This year other regions will teach these trbalists a lesson. Not even Livingstone will vote UPND because Livingstone is a civilized province. ECZ will start by announcing Choma, Kalomo, Pemba, Monze and end Chililabombwe, Chilubi results if you know what I mean.

  46. Support the wining team Shakafuswa. Change the team and get rich not these Kachemas who are so dull and backwards.

  47. If it was a PF member of parliament who had pledged to support hh in August elections, it would have been the headline in the post and it would have been written in RED but because it is a upnd MP pledging to support ECL it is all quite in the post newspaper as if nothing has happened but be rest assured mr. post newspaper that no miracle will happen for upnd to win the elections.

  48. No amount of noise making on Muvi TV and watchdog will help the bantustan party to win in August.

  49. Looks like UPND has the most unprincipled MPs Zambia has ever seen. And when they are poached by the ruling party the gaiety of the ministerial office just turns them into real political buffoons. With such turncoats forget about Zambia moving forward. Fortunately, I have never trusted any politician and will never depend on any. I feel pity for those whose egos are soothed only when a particular politician wins. Vuka ‘nzezele otherwise your situation will never change whether it is Lungu or HH in state house. Politicians are are the same.

  50. There are two reasons why Shakafuswa left UPND. 1) He was against the appointment of GBM as vice-president for administration(he posted about this on his facebook page). 2) The party started avoiding him when his mission became clear in UPND. With one leg in PF and the other in UPND, he may have kept the other leg in UPND only to play a role of PF insider. His brother at one time recorded the upnd leadership and passed the recording to PF. So, what is the outlook for his political career? It is highly unlikely that he can win in Katuba unless UPND does not contest the seat(which seems rather ludicrous).

  51. BITTER LESSON FOR UPND. REMEMBER MY WORDS
    I spoke often, and several times was misunderstood and called all sorts of names especially after denouncing HH as the 2016 as the party’s presidential candidate. There is more water under the bridge as people are wondering how the party will get 50+1 votes this year. It is a total nightmare and there is likely to be chaos at the loss on 12 August because people have suffered enough, advice not taken. This tendency to ignore timely advice has been the worst creeping worm in the party, but the foolhardy and simple minds can not see anything wrong with fielding HH. Trouble ahead. I would rather pay K10 and read the Post “that digs deeper” than be subjected to this NONSENSE.BB

  53. I can’t vote of a leader who is so desperate invites diplomats asking for support in exchange of removing the declaration of Zambia as a Christian nation, stopping the construction of the house of prayer and in return introduce homosexuality, gay rights and all kind of wicked things and systems, if you have anti Christ people like Fred of post newspaper backing you and the cartel group of company who’s desire is to ruining our nation.
    May Jehovah God destroy every plan of satan and his agents in Jesus name.
