Rainbow Party leader Wynter Kabimba on Monday met some western diplomats accredited to Zambia as part of their ongoing consultations with stakeholders ahead of the August polls.

Mr Kabimba described the meeting with diplomats as cordial and timely.

He said the diplomats wanted to exchange views on the state of the governance system in Zambia as the country approaches the August 11 polls.

Mr Kabimba said the diplomats approached the meeting in an open and constructive manner.

He commended the diplomats for taking keen interest in the happenings in the country.

The Rainbow leader revealed that he shared with the envoys his perspective on how Zambia has retrogressed since President Edgar Lungu took over government.

“The truth is that our cooperating partners are watching with a keen eye all that is going on here and they are concerned. Zambia has broken down since Edgar Lungu became President and they want to listen to the agenda that we have as the Rainbow hence the meeting and these meetings will continue,” Mr Kabimba said.

  1. This guy is even more credible than (HH) at least he has political experience, some loud mouth cadres will be here praising the Hakainde riff raff saying Kabimba has “copied” inviting diplomats

    • @ Kudos well said, Just shows how empty your head is, Just like the image you have used on your profile picture. Empty head you are, I am sure you where in group 3 in class.

    • Snake bite, you’re just a serpent like your Hakainde. But face it, Kabimba has more political credibility than your Hichilema. Kabimba is not an Under 5, compared to your cretin. Turns out the diplomats are here to interact with all stakeholders ahead of this year’s elections. Hakainde was portraying the image that he can invite and entertain ‘high level’ delegates, yet they are visiting everyone.

    • 50 years after independence, the african still runs to its “former masters” to report its affairs just like a good dog playing fetch with its masters. The master gives you a good pat on the head by meeting you and you wag your tail with excitement symbolicaly by smiling all the way to our fellow citizens that western diplomats approve or consider me.
      Whats wrong with us kanshi? some of these things are so plain to see, why do you have to report to western diplomats? why not african diplomats, your own people with a thorough understanding of your situation?
      And you want to say we are independent when you volunteer yourselves to servitude.

    • @Kudos
      If your skull was not empty you would remember that Chiluba had no political experience when he wrestled power out of the so-called politically experienced Kenneth kaunda with a landslide. Kaunda had decades of experience and he was shamed. The same fate awaits your Edgar Lungu this August.

    • Zambia has broken down my foot!! Only in your own imagination dude. I Wonder if his cadres will be celebrating too like what UPND cadres when HH was visited by the same diplomats.

    • Kikikiki,yaba! Honestly speaking, can you compare the political violence happening in Zambia to the wars being perpetrated in Syria,Iraq,Afghanistan e.t.c by these hypocrites you’re calling diplomats? Zambia is in a better place to educate these hypocrites about peace and not the other way round.

    • @Mr Kudos: HH is seriously causing you sleepless nights indeed. What has Kabimba’s meeting with the Western Diplomats to do with UPND or HH? Instead of attacking individuals, tell us the voters what PF will do in the next five years. We have seen the roads, schools, clinics that PF has constructed in the first five years, what is PF promising beyond 2016? I wont vote for PF because Mr Kudos hates HH, no, I will vote based on whoever sells the best manifesto to the electrolate. (FDD, Rainbow, UPND, MMD, PF, DF). Always remember that not all registered voters are Cadres. In short focus on issues affecting our economy and NOT on attacking individuals, that is what mature democracies world-over do.

    • Let me give my 2 cents about this Kudu’s character. It is deluded and schizophrenic it need stop be at Chainama. How can anyone in their right senses fail to see that Edgar Lungu has failed? Edgar has broken Zambia. Today in Lusaka there is no fuel, no electricity and K105 for a 25kg of mealie meal. Truth be told, Edgar has no capacity to be president, period!

    • @Mr. Kudos….If you could only see facts flat on, without that tribal gremace and conteptual squint, you would have already seen HH is taking over the country come 11 August, and your azz will be the first to sh!t out of the benefits…

    • Is it not Mr kabimba who broke down the country. How do these diplomats even accept to meet this monster. The western diplomats should distance themselves to people who have brought misery to Zambians and kabimba is one them otherwise I will lose faith in them. In fact he is not even a stakeholder for haven sake.

    • @zagaze – well said! I will not add anything to what you have posited lest I dilute its timely intent!!!! Well done!

  2. Your dreams about the presidency shall just end ip by meeting those id10ts who cannot even give you 1 vote on 11/08/2016!!!IFINTU NI LUNGU-2016!!”

  3. LT always try to be complete in your reporting of facts (News) as much as you can unlike leaving bloggers in a speculative mode. Where and when did Kabimba meet these diplomats. I feel place and time is important whenever someone is reporting even in the courts of law. Don’t rush in reporting half baked information

    • LT is finished. This is my last comment. The guys dont know how to report at all. Maybe they should ask Fred (Post Editor) to give them a few skills, like a short-course in real journalism. On top of that, LT is very biased.

    • YOU SEE, YOU ARE ASKING FOR TOO MUCH FROM LT. THEY DON’T KNOW ALL THOSE THINGS. THAT IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR THEM.

  4. These diplomats are building up a case for Edgar Lusaka for crimes against humanity. Kennedy Kamba will be part of the gang at the Hague. We shall make sure they serve their sentences in either Zimbabwe, Sudan or DRC.

    • Keep on dreaming my friend who tells you that it is the diplomats who builds cases for the Hague – i wish you knew how the international court of justice operates. Anyway efyaba ifintu fyakumfwafye naiwewakopa.

  5. Development partners participation should have limits, this is becoming an exaggeration, no African countries can meet with Trump or any other leaders at the level of Ambassadors or High Commissioners. While our Opposition leaders see this as a plus, its a shame on our independence. Consultations are good but not to this degree and publicity

    • Any accredited diplomat in USA can meet any American citizen and not just politician.
      Henry, please keep your ignorance for yourself.

    • You must be joking to think an African diplomat is important in the USA, while you beg money to feed yourself. What do African diplomats do in the US? Nothing

    • What can African diplomats meet Trump for? They have nothing to offer except to beg. I believe Trump has no time for useless corrupt African diplomats. What independence when your national budget is funded by western countries?

    • @TheEngineer, the fact that there is a swimming pool in your hotel and you don’t use it or don’t want to doesn’t mean it is not there. The fact is diplomatic protocol exists across the board and these behaviors in Zambia are not isolated cases. The fact that your diplomats spend time drinking and chasing after skirts in their lands of posting does not mean these instruments are not freely available to them… Go figure!

    • Right Wan. Other than RB and Sata may be, no ascending Zambian president had any experience at all! That is the way it has been.

      Nkumbula was more experienced than KK and Wina more than Chiluba. We now know what the so called experienced King Cobra was able to do and the rest is history …

  6. In Zimbabwe, we have known one leader since 1980. In Zambia how many leaders have you known since 1980? Just curious to know.

  7. Its either the diplomats are very stupid that they don’t understand what’s going on and the recent history ( which I doubt ) or they are just adding to and enjoying the drama

    • THEY ARE ENJOYING THE STUUPIDTY OF THE OPPOSITION LEADERS WHO ARE INVITING THE (DIPLATS) DIPLOMAT TO GO AND CRY ON THEIR SHOULDERS. THERE’S !D!0CY IN OPPOSITION IT HAS EVEN STEPPED IN IT’S MOUTH.

  8. @Mr.Kudos what’s your point here can’t understand anything but obsession for HH…..ITS KABIMBA ISSUE where does HH come in u stupid HH campaigner……VIVA SAMPA VIVA

  9. Kabimba is not a factor in zambian politics today. Like my old friend Kadansa , Wynter is just an entertainer.

  10. WHY PARADING yourself in front of Western Diplomats to sort out your internal wrangles? How many western Governments have paraded themselves before African Diplomats to share their displeasure with the happenings in their countries?

    • African dictators have to be disciplined by their Western funders when it is clear that the dictators plan to kill their own citizens. We have seen this in Zimbabwe where Shonas killed Ndebeles in 1982 and the Hutus massacring Tustin in the 1990s. The providers of Eurobonds must accept responsibility for arming criminals like Lungu who oppress their citizens.

  11. Mr intelligent….please continue reading ZWD which is not biased. Since you are brainwashed by Hakalusa Halibelela.

  12. Talkiñg about experience, I am surprised at how shallow-minded the people saying HH has now experience. H a s Wynter Kabimba been a Republican President before to have that so-called experience? Had Kaunda been President when he took over the reigns of leadership in 1964? Examples are abound. Kabimba is just as simple as any Zambian traversing the streets of this country.

  13. Nothing celebratory here. Diplomats can meet any political leader to give a balanced political equilibrium to their respective countries which, notwithstanding should not be construed to mean that they have any political inclination. Besides, how many valid votes do they have? Just asking.

  14. IF there is anyone who has run down Zambia its red lips himself because he was senior than edger not long ago EL has only been president for less than two years but he gave us a constitution but you for good three years nothing & kept on insulting people who where against your views

  15. It seems really difficult for Kamimbya
    He couldn’t even afford to offer the diplomats refreshments.

  16. It’s very clear that UPND and Rainbow are very unpatriotic and constantly degrade our country. But what is strange in all this is the insistence on elections. Mid the country HAS broken down then we just shut it down and go into emergency rule until people begin to behave better. It’s an attempt to bully their way to power. It’s clear they are using Western diplomats to encourage their input in our democracy. Soon our votes won’t matter. I think they are interested in Kabimba to hear from him how he used to brutalise opposition under Sata!

    I urge PF Youths to run away when they see UPND and nonentity Rainbow Cadres approaching them in their communities. Be we’ll behaved and win hearts fir President Lungu. Open doors for young ladies,…even UPND( PROBABILY FALSE ALLEGATION…

  17. Let us see if the PF will match to another embassy this time… And if they dont,then they are fearing HH only

  18. It’s very clear that UPND and Rainbow are very unpatriotic and constantly degrade our country. But what is strange in all this is the insistence on elections. Mid the country HAS broken down then we just shut it down and go into emergency rule until people begin to behave better. It’s an attempt to bully their way to power. It’s clear they are using Western diplomats to encourage their input in our democracy. No wonder Syria said Assad’s rule is not up for negotiation! Soon our votes won’t matter. I think they are interested in Kabimba to hear from him how he used to brutalise opposition under Sata! See say Lungu’s Leadership us not up for negotiation! The fight now is positively evoking Nationalist protective tendencies. We will see HH and Kabs out of our political system,…

  19. Too bad Summer, had you behaved during the late’s presidency, you would have been eavesdropping today as Republican head.

  20. The only presidential candidate these same western diplomats met during the 2015 presidential campaigns was ECL. Does it mean ECL told on Scott and the cartel to the diplomats! I look forward to the day ECL will refuse to meet the western diplomats during their “routine consultative” meetings

  21. “The truth is that our cooperating partners are watching with a keen eye all that is going on here and they are concerned. Zambia has broken down since Edgar Lungu became President and they want to listen to the agenda that we have as the Rainbow hence the meeting and these meetings will continue,” Mr Kabimba said. Wynter, aren’t you too cold to shamelessly go to bed with Diplomats? How many votes are they going to give you, shameless hypocrite?

  22. Now I see that the mission of these diplomats is to enjoy free comedy in Zambia. They know Mr Kabimba as the politician who not only hid the constitution, but was also Mr Sudan trained Militia par excellence.

  23. People please help me locate Emmanuel Mwamba AKA “Katondo Boys”.The chap promised me a position as ward chairman after he wins Matero.Any known address in Pretoria???

  24. ..Kabimba should have been factual and brave enough to say the country started to break down after PF got into the driving seat…..in 2011

  25. The Diplomats, apart from trying to avert impending violence, have an interest in ensuring that the moneys borrowed from them, is repaid. Who, in their right senses would watch and fold their hands, seeing their wealth going up in flames. We borrowed their money, and they have a right to monitor us!

  26. Diplomates how was your dinner sirs and madams.
    KABIMBA MULETUSEBANYA NOMUNOBE devil devil.those pipo know difficulties the world is passing through and what ,how,govt is managing in comparison to other nations.they know zambia as done better than RSA, ANGOLA,NIGERIA, GHANA,MALAWI,CONGO,ZIMBABWE MENTION THEM.
    SO WHEN U SAY ZED IS LIKE THIS THEY WILL KNOW HOW DULL YOU AND HH ARE
    VOTE ECL ONLY

  27. Zambians plse why do you stick your noses and mind to foreigners who have in long years in memorial ruined your lives and trust them to better your democracy or economy! Look at the war in Congo our nearest nabuor, which foreign country or our former colonisers has put so much interest in bringing prosperity or good governance, all they do is to let us differ in pretext of being neutral meanwhile they steal,siphone or plunder our natural resources for there future children to keep benefiting on our ignorance !! Be wise… Gaddafi was rite when he mensioned of Afrika to be United for we have the resources found in the all intier world. God bless Mother Afrika.

  28. Zambia is not a proud nation at the moment. And there is nothing wrong about Kabimba meeting the diplomats. He is a stakeholder just as we all are

  29. If we are not a proud nation? Think of what next to be done than letting others do it for us ? I am a proud Zambian and always be for ever.

  30. Let Edith also host these diplomats in fact I hear our own ambassador to New York will be meeting Donald Trump to understand why his party is being undemocratic to block him

  31. These ‘western diplomats’ are trying to champion their own selected political puppets to own a stake in our resources. PF has heavily dealt with China and not the WEST hence their agenda to dislodge PF and bring in their Anglo America and such western franchise exploiters- Abash western influence, VIVA Eastern block partners!

  32. Thou shall Zambia continue to deal with China, These westerners ‘know not’ how the Zambian major voter’s vote- Abash clan parties, Viva national parties(PF)- time to put to rest demagogue characters

  33. Compatriot, why do we have such short memories. Kabimba was a big disaster and disappointment when he was PF Secretsry General. He was so callous and insulting to Zambians. The man grew so big headed and could not listen to anyone but himself. Do you really want this kind of a man for a president. He and his boss, Sata, contributed immensely to the misseries we now find ourselves in as a country. Kabimba was building his own empire which gladly Lungu has effectively dismantled.

    Please save our beloved country from dictators like Kabimba.

  34. LATEST: PF CADRE and Kitwe businessman Richard Chileshe has been detained at Kamfinsa State Prison after the magistrates’ court issued a bench warrant for contempt of court. In this case, Chileshe – popularly known as ‘’Chile 1’’ – is charged with threatening violence contrary to the Laws of Zambia.
    It is alleged that on July 15, 2015, Chileshe discharged a loaded firearm with intent to cause alarm to any person. He was found with a case and put on his defence by Kitwe chief resident magistrate Penjani Lamba. When the case was called on Tuesday, Chileshe was not before court, and neither were his sureties. State prosecutor Juma Banda applied for a bench warrant, which was issued and Chileshe was arrested.
    Magistrate Lamba has set today for return of the warrant and possible judgment…
