Mafinga MMD member of Parliament Catherine Namugala says she will not re-contest her seat in the 11th August General elections.

Ms. Namugala instead pledged to support the PF parliamentary candidate that will be adopted.

Ms. Namugala also pledged to support President Edgar Lungu in the August 11 general elections.

She made the pronouncement at a meeting addressed by President Lungu at Tendere school grounds in Mafinga.

On Monday, 11 out of 34 MMD MPs said they will support UPND president Hakainde Hichilema in the August 11 general elections.

These are Sinda’s Levy Ngoma, Mumbwa’s Brian Chituwo, Nalikwanda’s Geoffrey Lungwangwa, Liuwa’s Situmbeko Musokotwane and Keembe’s Ronnie Shikapwasha.

Others are Kasempa MP Kabinga Mpande, Moses Muteteka of Chisamba and Christopher Kalila of Lukulu.

The rest are Zambezi East’s Sara Sayifwanda, Ikileng’i’s Elijah Muchima and Ndalamei Mundia for Sikongo.

  1. Oh so this is how finished this bitch is? Reaching an extent of supporting the ***** outgoing chakolwa lungu yaba ! Bitch u wil regret.

    • Mama Namugala, in the dawn of Unifying rational nationalists Vs. deluded ethnics, you are on the right side of history. We patriotic rationalists got your back covered. Progressive citizens understand the essence of a relay race that thrives on dynamism. You have run a honorable race let others pick it up.

    • How many terms has Ms. Namugala served? She even knows it that she`s done zero for his constituency. Shame mama!

    • mama Namungala she is lungu`s new trotting/running mate,,,, I hope mumbi phiri who contesting in munali wont hear this!!, that lungu is dumping her for Catherine,,,, mamamama!!!!, there will be war between Munali and state house

    • SHE IS NOT FINISHED- ONLY SHE HAS JUST USED HER BRAINS TO FORESEE THE FUTURE. IN BEMBA THEY SAY, “FILI UKO TUYA”. NOW, I PROVE THAT SHE’S QUITE INTELLIGENT. INSTEAD OF FIGHTING TOO HARD AND TRESSING UP HERSELF FOR THE UNKNOWN, HER THINKING IS: “GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT” AND “PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE”. THESE BASIC PRINCIPLES MILES SAMPA FAILED TO COMPREHEND. INSTEAD, FOR HIM JUST BUYING TAXIS FOR MATERO BOYS AND GIRLS WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH PERFORMANCE. THERE’S MORE TO POLITICS THAN IFYUMA: LOVE, HUMBLENESS, RESPECT, INTELLIGENCE AND WISDOM ARE CORE REQUIREMENTS OF AN ASPIRING POLITICAL LEADER. SAMPA HASN’T GOT ALL THESE.

    • Well done for a quick one averting embarrassment of losing to a challenger better take a move while some semblance of dignity still surrounds her as a peoples representative

    • Let her go. She performed way below par. I never even knew she still existed. Grade 12 certificate yaleta kantu! We want people with brains to take care of our affairs.

    • How has Mafinga become reachable all of a sudden when it is raining heavily countrywide?
      Was it not due to heavy rains last January that Mafinga Presidential results could not be collected on time by ZAF choppers & hence the delayed announcement of the winner?

      With rains from November 2015 & intensified mid January 2016 the water table has risen & as such even light rains can flood a place, streams & rivers. Since elections are coming in August, would the President therefore not have waited till end of rain season Mid April to campaign in Mafinga, one of the most unreachable places in Zambia?

      This is the perpetual political paradox!

    • Mama Namugala, in the dawn of Unifying rational nationalists Vs. deluded ethnics, you are on the right side of history. We patriotic rationalists got your back covered.

    • The 11 mps supporting HH wil not make any difference becouse even in the past elections Hh have been winning in this constituences but loosing terribly at national level.after al they are all from the bantu stan.

    • All those MMD MP’s who have joined UPND are Bantu Botatwe from the so called UPND strongholds. Therefore there is no dent on PF. Not forgetting that PF has made a lot of in-roads in the same areas.

    • Let’s stop tribalism,it shall take us nowhere.Making decisions on merit will help us develop mother Zambia.

    • Here is another tribalist like Chishimba ‘grey-back’ Kambwili. You talk tribal, you think tribal, tribal, tribal, tribal. Modern Zambians are fed-up of the scourge, on so called supper Ken and the like.

    • SHE IS ACTUALLY VERY CLEVER AND INTELLIGENT. SHE IS ABLE TO ANALYSE THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE AND FROM THERE DEDUCE WHERE SHE FITS IN. MOST MAIN DUE TO EGO FAIL TO ANALYSE EVEN THEIR PRESENT. I HAVE JUST STARTED LOOKING AT HER AS A THINKER. I LIKE SUCH PEOPLE WITH SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE MATHEMATICS. I AM NOT SAYING THIS BECAUSE SHE HAS JOINED PF. HOWEVER, HOW SHE HAS CALCULATED THE WHOLE THING.

  2. There is NO news here. All those mps supported hh in 2015. The sinda mp has girlfriend issues with a known PF minister.
    The 10 constituences (apart from sinda) are places that the UPND will win all year long, even if a PF or any other party candidate stood against a chicken, goat or cow. The seat will still be won by the UPND.
    So there is no here!!

    • Catherine endorsed changwa last time so it no news as well, just like maybin mubanga, maxwell mwale she has decided to go north eastern Rhodesia.this beautiful girl has no grade 12 satifiketi! Wiyuwiyuwiyuwiyi!

    • You are lying Ka Chalwe, all the seats you talk about are not held by UPND but by MMD which is why they are joining UPND. If teir areas were UPND stronghold, why UPND did not win the seats last elections? You Ka liar!

  3. good riddance. This racist was instrumental in the side lining of Guy scott as acting president. Any body would have fared better than lungu.

    • This racist has a sister who was married to a muzungu and the racist grabbed first the husband and later the business and finally deported him! Then she met bashi nono and eventually married the brother! She ended up running a gas station in Chelston and never paid a single cent to ZRA! Push came to shove when it was discovered she was pay umwela to her fuel suppliers BP! NO Integrity!

    • This is the same fake expose that Voice of Reason is posting about people. Intimidating people here on LT with lies is cowardly. This needs Police attention. You must be the same person as Voice because you write the same and have same flags. This is not a tittle tattle celebrity rag you know!

  4. Ba LT you forgot 2 MPs,
    Minister Hon. Keith Mukata of Chilanga MMD-MP
    Minister Hon. MWALITETA of Kafue PF-MP.
    Mama Cathy too bad i wsh you had G12 certificate.

  5. most of upnd supporters are slow in thinking, mwaliteta has not joined ichilema but resigned as a minister & pledged to support EL

  6. THIS WOMAN HAS BEEN AN MP FOR MAFINGA FOR 3 TERMS SO THOSE WHO ARE SAYING ITS END OF HER ROAD YOU JUST TROUBLING YOURSELVES

  7. We told UPND cadres who were jumping up and down with happiness when those 11 MMD MPs from three provinces joined the bantustan party that even PF will have a fair share of MMD MPs from the north and east joining and endorsing PF they could not listen! Now see, we have started counting let us see if they wont even exceed the 12 MPs.

  8. It is sad that we must divide our nation in to sectors….I have said before I WANT CHANGE BUT NOT HH’s change its directionless. How can a man of such high education succumb to cadre mentality? As I watched Keith a lawyer dance on stage it struck me what it means to be a politician. He ate under RB, ate under Lungu and now wants to consume under HH and the voters are silly no? Wait August 2011 please come early we want to kolopa.dot.com…..

  9. Husband grabber. She grabbed her sisters husband a muzungu and had him deported coz of his money. She went out with Bod and Austin. Brothers but married the young one.But mistake she made was not to finish Grade 12. Now Lungu says she is dull sorry mama

  10. Zambian Politics is sickening..how can you support someone from another party if you are not recontesting..instead of the party that looked after you what have you got to lose? Very selfish.

  11. To call some one’s mother, wife, a bitch is not good at all. Because we are hidden by the blog should not be a passport to say anything that comes into our head. If you were asked to identify your self would you do that? If this is the character of The UPND supporters, I would not want to belong to the kind.

  12. Why call Cathy a bi–tch, has she slept with you, you don’t need to insult her just because she does not want to support your HH. You seem to have so much data about her private life, what data do you have on your holier than thou HH Mazoka. Please let people be free to support whom they want. You have not called Sylvia Masebo or Maureen Mwanawasa any names simply because they have joined your camp. If the 12 MPs from MMD had joint PF you were going to say all sorts of bad things about them. The ballot will speak on 11.8.2016. Just chill.

    • President
      You are very dull.This forum was almost exclusively PF.Reading your post one would think you are on Watchdog.Smell the coffee f00l.

  13. tiye nazo, we know the game, bola nipanshi, lam not a bemba nor bantu botatwe, but l support pa choba, why we appreciate what type of the leader lungu is. peace oll over.

  14. This is what we call independent and critical thinking. Hon. Namugala is sharp, eloquent and concise in her debates in Parly. We told Hadolf Hitler that he should not get excited about those old and tired men about to die from prostate cancer.
    Namugala, just like Shakafuswa, for sure have brought quality to PF and as already been said, its ECL all the way come 11 August 2016. How do you celebrate and get excited by being joined by people like Chituwo who can even administer panadol to sick child?

    As 11 August 2016 gets closer and closer HH will be mad and taken to Chainama, watch this space. Edgar Lungu will win these elections clean by 68%.

    • Yes, she is quite eloquent. How come she has no grade 12 certificate? This grade 12 thing leaves a sour taste in the mouth. We shall miss out on leaders like her because of this thing.

  15. tauya – PEACE – INSALA NEMITENOG YIKWELA FYE CHILA BUSHIKU. ki ki ki ki ki . There are no merits to support Edgar.

  16. HH is a devil and those who doubt him must examine their brains. the other day President Lungu condemned violence acts and called on the Catholics to mediate amongst political parties, guess who opposed the proposal to use the church? Ni chi HH, ati where is the law that ECL is now running to God? Is the law higher than God? Its only a devil, satanist by the name of HH can act and reason like that.
    A devil is a liar who comes to steal and kill and this is what HH is no two ways about it.

  17. Lady Namu is the only MP I have come to know since I was born, who has relinquished power without any act of violence..Awe grade 12 certificate nayo yaisa bwino mwe!!! Grade certificate yalenga abantu ukulaibutukila fye pali bu MP..

  18. President Lungu must choose Hon. Namugala as a RUNNING MATE. I can certainly assure you that PF will get the 68% vote without issues as this lady is credible and am sure we in the PF will all agree and support her. She is beatiful, clean, articulate, selleable and above all a mother, wow!!!!

    Viva ECL Viva PF

    • Iwe ka ch1kala
      You cant read between the lines shaa
      She has no Grade 12 Certificate aiishiba fye ifisungu fya mu ma office.

  19. ITS REALLY AMAZING. THOSE SAYING MS NAMUGALA DOES NOT HAVE A GRADE 12 CERTIFICATE, HOW THEN WAS SHE ADMITTED TO UNIVERSITY TO STUDY AND GRADUATE WITH BA ECONOMICS? NO ITS NOT ABOUT GRADEE TWELVE. SHE HAS “RAN HER RACE”, ITS TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO TAKE UP THE MANTLE. ITS LIKE RELAY, YOU GET THE BUTTON FROM SOMEONE ELSE, RUN YOUR PART, AND PASS ONTO THE NEXT PERSON, SIMPLE, THERE’S NO WAMUYAYAYA IN POLITICS. IF KK COULD PASS ON THE MANTLE TO FTJ, WHY CANT THE REST? WELL DONE HON NAMUGALA…

  20. Very bitter contributions here, you feel sorry for some contributors upbringing and the environment they live in Someone says 3 terms is enough, so I will not run then we scamper to call her names. She must be commended for being forthright. So many losers here

    • Poor and bitter UPND cadres, they wanted her to endorse the under 5 HH, so due to disappointment they are showering her with all sorts of insults! Let us see what will happen to one Request Muntanga who has been Kalomo centrail MP since 2001 and has no grade 12 certificate.

  21. ….Nevers neck will eventually twist off his shoulders…he keeps on looking to the right UPND and to the left PF taking his first team payers……

  22. My political predictions are ever correct!!!I TOLD ALL UPND DREAMERS THAT MMD MPS FROM EASTERN AND THE NORTH WILL MOST LIKELY SUPPORT PF-CATHERINE NAMUGALA HAS JUST CONFIRMED THAT TODAY!!MANY MORE WILL FOLLOW SUIT!!OUT OF 34 MMD MPS,UPND GOT 11 SO OUT OF THE REMAINING 23 MMD MPS ,PF WILL GET MORE THAN WHAT UPND GOT-MARK MY WORDS!!2016 GENERAL ELECTIONS WILL BE “BANTUSTAN VOTERS (UPND) AGAINST THE REST OF ZAMBIANS (PF)”!!!all these mps are following 2015 results,Edgar Lungu’s PF came out first in more than 90 constituences!!!PLUS LOOK AT THE HUGE CROWD AT PF’S MAFINGA RALLY TODAY-VERY HUGE!!!

    • So in your sick mind Eastern and Northern provinces are “the rest of Zambia?” What a demented tribal individual you are.

    • PF is getting MPs even from UPND, so far I have not seen a PF MP who has endorsed HH but we have Shakafuswa endorsing ECL.

  23. She was so too talkative now we know she doesn’t even have a grade Twelve certificate good all of you low life’s have been exposed.

  24. However much you say Lungu will be in state house after August. Tanzania did it and Uganda has just done it. look at what HH said about mines and what we are now seeing. What of the buying of meal meal in bulk to create shortage. what of shortage of maize he spoke about. whatever HH says nature proves him wrong. Who are you to build his image.

  25. The mission of the fisherman is not to feed the fish. If the Fish doesn’t understand that, it’s the Fish problem. If it’s Free, you are the Product! Written on the August election ballot paper are words – tribalism, persecution and the cartel. If you can’t see those words you are either naïve or complicit with the meticulous plan to persecute the Bemba and eastern tribes. It is very clear that battle grounds are drawn between those like Mugala who don’t support the cartel and those that worship the devil. There is no middle ground or none militarized zone; you are either a supporter of the cartel or not. Never mind the lies coming from Dr Canisius Banda, he has sold his soul to the devil. Hon Mugala thank you for refusing to betray your countrymen.

  26. Who said the tribal issue in UPND is no longer an issue? What has changed? Since UPND failed to cleanse itself of tribal tag after being reminded many times, the tribal tag has remained and will remain very much a factor to haunt UPND come 11 August.

  27. Cathy is a graduate from. UNZA in Nawakwi’s stream. Issue of grade 12 certificate is a big lie. UPND cadres are overly excited but will be crushed on 11August. Me and my family will not vote for a party that manufactures violence and cries foul, a party that us lopsided to one region, when minorities rule they become dictators and their rule is cruel, A party whose leader does not want to be led is a sure trait of a bad leader. HH no thank you. Chagwa all the way.

  28. Mailon, are you one of the infamous mailoni brothers, your mother who birthed you is the one who is very dull.
