GBM Threaten to shut down Daily Nation when UPND forms Government

GEOFFREY Bwalya Mwamba yesterday went ballistic, venting his anger on the Daily Nation, promising to shut down the paper and send proprietor Richard Sakala to jail over a “dossier” he claims he is holding as soon as the UPND forms Government on August 11, 2016.
He also insulted Daily Nation journalist Wallen Simwaka, calling him a bastard, fool and stupid for working for a newspaper which he claimed was pushing an agenda to ruin his political career.

This diatribe follows a story in the Sunday Nation disclosing a clandestinely recorded conversation in which a person purported to be Mr Mwamba was allegedly insulting Lusaka Province minister Mulenga Sata.

Mr Mwamba threatened that should the UPND form Government, the Daily Nation would find it difficult to continue operating and would therefore be forced to close down which would result into the suffering of individual reporters.

Mr Mwamba used graphic insults against Mr Sakala and Mr Simwaka, describing the two in one of the most cruel, uncivil and gravely offensive language.

He later called civil activist Chilufya Tayali, who posted the offending conversation on line and insulted him in vernacular and challenged him to put the insults on the internet. The insults also targeted Zambia’s ambassador to South Africa Emmanuel Mwamba and PF deputy spokesman Frank Bwalya.

Mr Mwamba accused his detractors of; supporting President Edgar Lungu who he said was not a marketable product. He also said the PF was a totally ineffectual shell which was going to lose the elections to the UPND because he had single-handedly damaged the ruling party in Lusaka, Copperbelt, Northern Province and elsewhere in the country.

Mr Mwamba in his telephone conversation with Chilufya Tayali, the Zambian Voice executive director, claimed he had tonnes of maize which was ready for export but that this had been banned and an opportunity to export given to a few people.

The report stated that the recording had gone viral on social media.

Mr Mwamba also extended his anger to President Edgar Lungu and accused Mr Sakala and Mr Simwaka of enjoying huge but unaccounted for financial benefits, claiming that the Head of State was a difficult political package to sell which was why the UPND was forming the next Government.

He told Mr Simwaka to continue accepting money from President Lungu but threatened that the reporter was going to suffer for the rest of his life after August 11th when the UPND takes over Government.

Mr Mwamba banned the reporter and all Daily Nation reporters from ever attending any UPND functions, threatening that the journalist risked being physically sorted out by his boys but later in the day called again to state that he was not against being covered but that he wanted to be covered positively.

“I told you the recording was fake and you and your stupid boss went ahead to write a story in your foolish newspaper. Now listen to me, do not use my name to sell you newspaper. You tell your stupid boss that he is very ungrateful and he should stop using my name to sell his newspaper.

“You bustards should know that I am a self-made man and I do not depend on anyone like Mr Sakala who got money from RB (Rupiah Banda) and Edgar Lungu (President) but let me warn you that we are going to deal with you individually and the newspaper. You depend on business from Government and when UPND forms government, where will you run to?” Mr Mwamba said.

Mr Mwamba threatened that he was going to revive the libel cases against the Daily Nation which he had withdrawn years back and demanded that Mr Sakala should immediately pay back all the money he had given him to sustain the operations of the newspaper.

He said the article published in the Sunday Nation had as a matter of fact made him (Mwamba) and the UPND more popular and that nothing including what he termed malicious propaganda was going to stop Zambians from voting for the opposition party.

    • I challenge HH to denounce Ginger Bread Man (GBM)’s insults if he HH is really a man of principle. Further I challenge the party to disassociates itself from the insults made by Ginger Bread Man. Further still I challenge their party to remove the man from the party because he is not leadership material. I am sure HH is just wondering what he has gotten himself into with this man, You can’t have a grown up, a husband, a father a boss to be insulting in such a man with pride and party members don’t find anything wrong with it. Is this the kind of leadership the party is selling to the Zambians – Awe! Twakana! If HH does not move on this one it will cost him votes and the party will turn up against him if they lose.

    • VIVA GBM VIVA! VIVA CHANGE VIVA! ABASH LUNGU DESPERATE PROPAGANDA ABASH! LUNGU HAS DISHED OUT HUGE UNACCOUNTED FOR SUMS OF MONEY TO TRY AND BUY VOTES BY BRIBING MANY VULNERABLE ZAMBIANS TO BROADCAST AND SPREAD MASSIVE PROPAGANDA TO TRY AND FAVOR THE FAILED AND THE IRRESPONSIBLE PF GOVERNMENT. PF IS A BUNCH OF LOOTERS WHO HAVE VIRTUALLY DESTROYED OUR COUNTRY IN BARELY ONE YEAR.

  1. there goes mr GREAT BAG OF MAIZE (GBM) THATS HOW HE WILL INSULT HH AND HIS TEAM IF HE WONT BE CHOSEN AS RUNNING MATE. HH WATCH OUT.

  2. Sorry forgive me dear bloggers but i want to let you know that am selling sweet potatoes (Kandolo) and Beans (Cilemba) of all types. Someone told me that bloggers on this site like Kandolo and Cilemba too much because that’s where they get their energy to debate the whole day even on use1ess things. Please let me know if you’re interested.

  3. Hehehehehe……GBM, you still dream of forming government? If I were you my worry would the now strong possibility of being discarded by UPND for bringing the party into disrepute thereby irreversibly damaging its chances of forming government. But maybe I should not be that confident of you being discarded, for UPND and HH have no morals or principles left in them.

    • There’s power in words, while others may think it is not a reality, they will one day wake up to that reality. When MMD was in the move, some UNIP die hardship never thought they will attain the goal, same happened to MMD die hardship when PF was sailing on the water, and it may not be different this time when UPND may be moving forward, some PF die hardship may not believe it now, but sooner or later, their minds will open up to the realities of life.

  4. It is not me who said that bit about HH having no morals or principles, or ideological standing, read the Post editorials,mask his ally Mmembe. I just borrowed Mr Mmembe’s description word for word….kikikiki

  5. Even in today’s editorial of the Post Mr Mmembe insists that there is not difference between the PF/Lungu and UPND/HH. But of course Mmembe is only correct about HH’s indiscretions, tolerance of corruption, and ideological bankruptcy for asp called educated economist. Edgar is my man, innocent victim of mmembe for refusing to dance to the cartel.

  6. Birds of the same feather flock together. The other day the UPND leader was calling a radio caller a moron and stupid, and now his VP is calling some people bastards and fools! It will be interesting to see how Zambians will be treated if these people get power! They have in their daily language labelled Zambians impoverished, practically meaning that Zambians are incapable of hard work and are devoid of reason and only them can provide such! We wait to see!

  7. As a Staunch UPND member, I must say that I foresaw this confusion coming to our Party by HH not consulting the principles of our Party and its membership in embracing GBM. Right now UPND also carries pangas, insults that were unheard of have come to our party. Our party stands for press freedom, what GBM insinuates is that UPND Governmen will be no different from PF whose assaults on press freedoms we have fought from the time it formed Govt as well as during MMD days. CRY MY BELOVED UPND !!! What have we done to ourselves ?

  8. We all told HH that the big f00l-GBM you are welcoming into upnd will destroy your party!!SEE NOW WHAT GBM IS DOING?ITS LIKE THIS GUY HAS BEEN SENT INTO UPND TO CAUSE CONFUSION AND COMPLETELY DESTROY UPND’S IMAGE IN THE EYES OF MAJORITY VOTERS!!WHICH VOTER CAN VOTE FOR SUCH A LEADER LIKE GBM?THINGS ARE JUST GETTING BETTER AND BETTER FOR PF AND EDGAR LUNGU!!HONESTLY,WHO IS MORE LOVED BY VOTERS BETWEEN EDGAR LUNGU AND HH?AMAZING,ITS LIKE GBM DO NOT LIVE IN ZAMBIA!!ECL was made 6th president from Chawama by people due to the love voters

  9. As upnd i think we made a very big mistake by allowing gbm to join our part, this man is not presidential material. What he is doing now is purely decampaining our party and soon when we lose he will go back to pf.

  10. ECL was made 6th president from chawama by people due to the love voters have for him!!CAN GBM SAY HH IS SELLABLE WHEN HE HAS BEEN LOSING ELECTIONS SINCE 2006?EDGAR LUNGU CAMPAIGNED FOR 15 DAYS OR SO AND WON UNDER A VERY WEAK PF AND WITH NO GOVNT RESOURCES AFTER GUY SCOTT BLOCKED IT.ONE DOESNT NEED TO BE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO CONFIRM THAT ONE(ECL) WHO WON AN ELECTION AFTER CAMPAIGNING FOR 15 DAYS IS MORE LOVED BY VOTERS THAN HH WHO HAS BEEN LOSING FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS!!!so gbm prepare for another defeat after 11/08/2016!!GO PF GO!!

  11. We’ve seen enough.If we still have doubters in our midst that UPND is by no a means a credible alternative, GBM has simplified it for you. This Party already carries many labels-copy-cat( No original policy), regional, tribalist and now vindictive and violent. To make matters worse, it’s all coming directly from a potential Vice President. I would rather maintain my ‘unsellable product’ than return to matchet street hacking.

  12. All u bloggers are bought by PF, Leave GBM alone. He has left your Folly Party , but u still follow him where ever he goes. What are u afraid of. Leave him alone. VIVA GBM kiti bakubelesho ba Kembo aba

  13. Upnd is in for it. GBM is a destroyer, the man is short tempered and he doesn’t take his time to study the situation. Those who are still doubting me will confess as we reach July this year. He left PF as a frustrated man so he can’t control his anger and whoever in the upnd is thinking they have a big fish, alas you are mistaken.

  14. Comment:
    But this chi FAT man is really destroying our party. can’t he just put a point across minus insults??. HH expel this childish old fool

  15. UPND is done for! With GBM as vice president of the party, UPND has lost the little chances they had of winning this year’s elections. HH will regret accepting GBM in his party. Things are getting better and better for Chagwa. GBM has gone to UPND to destroy the party and HH doesn’t know it. CRY THE BELOVED UPND!It is very clear now that HH has no chance of winning this year’s elections. UPND officials, where are you? Can you advise HH?

  16. GBM (Fat John) is practicing politics of uncivilised people. People of Zambia can you allow such a leaf-ruff to be a leader in Government! What do you expect as a country to have people with such unpalatable language full of hate and insults! Is that what it means being rich is to insult people? To hell with his dirty money and whoever is supportting Fat John is short sighted and does not love our country, Zambia. That is being foolish insulting any body who tries to challenge his stupid behaviour! Hakainde be careful with that fat rat you will be the next person to be insulted should you differ over any small issue!

  17. I listened to the talk. It was all childish, drama or chimbuya just to attract attention. We have all heard the message and the intentions of the blocker.
    Caution however, is that more temptations will come your way. Just be careful. There is a time like this one where you need GBM. He is real and not easily intimidated. Tayali has done his homework and got what he wanted. Lead us not into temptation

  18. …how will it be shut down because immediately UPND wins the daily nation will remove a green ‘T’ shirt and put on a red one

  19. GOD IS MOVING IN HIS POWER AGAIN
    “By the anointing Jesus breaks the yoke;
    By the Holy Ghost’s power just as the prophets foretold.
    This is the day of the latter rain,
    God is moving in His power again;
    By the anointing Jesus breaks the yoke.
    Chorus:
    It’s not by might; it’s not by power;
    But by my Spirit, saith the LORD. MORE PRAYERS FOR MORE CONFUSION IN THE PARTY WITHOUT PRAYERS.

  20. Uyo GBM amoneka nge saka lya male, temuntu…. Chipuba ichapelekeshako. Nombaline, nombalinefye sana, bakalwa ichine chine noyo wine muleti Echi Echi…, kabili chikamupoka neyo ine party…. Balwile nopwa wakwa Sata, umuyashi, pa Airport ku Ndola, ukwulwila Zavoy Hotel… Chipuba icho..

  21. Ati I have single handedly destroyed PF, this big fo0l PF is still very strong. Kikikikikiki!! Ba HH be careful this is exactly what he will be saying in the unlikely event that UPND won elections ati I single handedly made UPND win!kikikikikiki!!

  22. In Bemba, GBM is saying, “we mwana wa mubucende” ( bastard). This is very bad insult coming from a national leader. Surely, some would-be UPND voters must be getting worried at this man’s ability to hate and insult.

  23. Guys where is this GBM COMING FROM wechipuba we go to hell and the kiss the devil, ICHILUFUMO UKAPAPA LILALA NABWAUMWE WAKULILA KULUFUMO, MUCHINDAMINA MUFYAKUFWALA, TAMULI BAUME LEAVE MEN ALONE WHO CAN DO THINGS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE./LOOKING LIKE FROG PLEASE STOP INSULTING CHILDREN OF GOD THEYARE INNOCENT DO YOU PRAY YOU NEED DELEVERANCE, ANY WE ARE GOING TO PRAY FOR YOU BECAUSE THE DEVIL IS WORKING ON YOU.
