United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema has challenged President Edgar Lungu to pinpoint successes he has scored during his one and half years he has been in office.

Speaking when he welcomed former MMD members of Parliament who have officially joined the UPND in Lusaka yesterday, Mr Hichilema said that president Lungu has not done anything since he was elected apart from inflicting abject poverty on Zambians.

And Mr. Hichilema has warned that the Electoral Commission of Zambia will be responsible for whatever will happen in the country if it insists I printing ballot papers in Dubai.
And Mr Hichilema has demanded that President Lungu pays students at the University of Zambia all their meal allowances in the next five days.

And former First Lady Maureen Mwanawasa has warned the Electoral Commission of Zambia not to manipulate this year’s election because Zambians are watching.

Meanwhile the UPND leader has released the statement address the men and women in Uniform and other security agencies

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Securing Our Future

To our men and women in uniform, and other security agencies, we have heard your cries and messages through various forums.

We are fully aware of your plight both in the conditions under which you operate and the numerous challenges you face, including having been promised various incentives that have not been honoured or even withdrawn altogether.

We are equally aware of the many youths that were enlisted for engagements in several units but have remained in the streets because resources have been diverted into luxurious expenditures at the expense of priority issues affecting our people, including in this case both job creation and security.

Our message to you is to please remain loyal and disciplined citizens of this republic as you have always been.

In the coming weeks you will be under the spotlight, as we journey through this critical period in history when our people will decide the destiny of our great nation.

Yours is a call to duty that must be above partisan politics and centre on being ready to protect all citizens regardless of their political affiliation. Remember, regardless of the views we hold we all go to the same shops to buy the same expensive items and experience the same load shedding.

Most importantly, we must keep reminding ourselves that we are one people and must remain so no matter what schemes, rumours and hateful messages are used to try and divide and distract us from the important issues.

Going forward, and as a departure from the usual way of doing things, we are aware that in your private lives you can equally be productive if given support to engage in meaningful business ventures such as farming activities, the small-scale mining industry, tourism and value-addition industries. We believe in the power of such programmes to empower our people and their families so they can secure their future and reap the benefits of hard work.

Hakainde Hichilema
UPND President

  1. HH is lying between his teeth.

    The people joining UPND don’t support him – they are merely political prostitues.

    This will end in tears

    Thanks

    • When Hichi want to impress his widowed concubine, he does some unthinkable self fooling card games way too much to the point that leaves him look more ubupuba than the world knew. Don’t over rate yourself.

    • In a democracy, dreaming is free for every one. The more heads escort President Edgar Chagwa Lungu to his second and final full term mandate, the better the Zambia democratic credentials.

    • Looks like the Honorable Former First Lady has swallowed the under 5’s rigging cool Aide or Pill.

      Indeed this will end in tears. But again that is normal in a play park full of under 5s. Soon somebody will get hurt.

    • Mushota, are you trying to have a competition with Lungu to be the dullest and most useless Zambian?

      It is clear for anyone with a functional brain to see Lungu has destroyed our economy and is clueless on how to fix it.

      Insulting defectors that have had enough of this incompetence and ineptitude is really unproductive and unpatriotic. Zambia is in big trouble because of the irresponsible and corrupt borrowing for reasons of personal greed by Lungu and his PF gang.

    • The Oppositions lack seriousness instead of filing a court injunction against ECZ they are busy just issuing statements , the current Govt may just use the Uganda method of using men in uniform and Hose Arrests to maintain law and order, however democracy would have been compromised. Opposition be serious for once and take pre election legal methods.It’s not the voting that’s democracy; it’s the counting. ~Tom Stoppard, Jumpers. It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything. Joseph. The purpose of an election is not to name the winner, it is to convince the losers that they lost. The winner rarely contests an election, the winner has little reason to investigate discrepancies. It…

    • Mutosha so you think those around Lungu support him? It’s really not about supporting a person but what the person can do. I bet 100 bucks if HH assumes office you will see the change. Lungu has had a year and from time served you can clearly see that Zambia under him will be in bad state. He doesn’t even look for solutions just busy commissioning projects funded by foreign countries or shopping malls owned by foreigners. The man has no interest in investing in Zambians because if I were him I wouldn’t even commission anything unless it’s proudly Zambian

    • The letter to men in uniform is too short. Missing we send children to same schools, hospitals. We drink in same bars. The other day a ZP officer was drunk in uniform. Look because of PF government, our officers are in tribal for rituals murders.
      I can write better than HH on this one. But am drunk like Edgar .. Its weekend.

    • The wise commentator has just converted himself to a foolish commentator. Yes even if you vote for Mulyokela change will be inevitable. The notable change Double H will bring is bringing those of his kind more closer to him because he will surely not betray them. At that point those that are not of his kind will have a bitter pill to swallow. Ask Sakwiba Sikota and watch this space.

    • Chakolwa Samalama has done something. He’s promoted tribalism, hatred, corruption, driven the economy to brink of collapse.
      #chagwamustfall

    • So iwe Mushota you are happy with the status co??? We must continue with the poor economic environment we are in today??? Is this your proposal???? If we put HH and he does not deliver we shall again remove him as well. Zambia is our country and we need to put the right people in government. I do not support HH but I think ECL has fallen short of the expected standards as required pa Zed.

    • This guy is a CHUMBU MUNSHIOLOLWA (borrowing Frank Bwalya’s famous quote)! Same strategy, Same limited number of converts, Same results over and over. No matter how many times people have advised him to change his failed strategy of TRYING TO FORCE CITIZENS NOT TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN CLEARLY SEE FOR THEMSELVES (the WORKS that PF/Edgar have done,) he still thinks it is A WINNER.

      Sure, Edgar has only been in office for little more than a year, but what HH fails to understand and appreciate is the fact that most Zambians associate Edgar with PF Govt’s (NOT necessarily an individual) performance in the 5 years they have been in power. I am sure if Sata was still alive, HH would still be telling us that Sata has done, and people would still be looking at him (HH) saying; IS THIS MAN INSANE…

    • continue…

      I am sure if Sata was still alive, HH would still be telling us that Sata has done, and people would still be looking at him (HH) saying; IS THIS MAN INSANE OR BLIND?

    • Mushota u are just too stupid ; we know tha u wanted to benefit from hh ; u didnt u shambles ***** prostitute :

    • After Bonking Maureen he started hallucinating about being the next president…. VOTE for the HH (The passing Lame one) at your own peril….

  2. Tell the nation what you are going to do
    If elected into office, should that happen
    Instead of demeaning the current President
    . There is the issue of the budget deficit,
    Debt and power deficit to be dealt with .
    Don’t give ultimatums or deadlines about
    This and that. What are you going to do
    With men and women in uniform? Which
    Budget are you going to use to address
    Their plight . These are the issues bwana!

    • HH ask Katumbi of of Congo, he’s on Oxygen right, the hammering inflicted on him was done by the men in uniform.This is Africa wake up mwaiche.

  3. Lungu is the most useless President that Zambia will ever have. He is so desperate to win that he will tamper with everything: the Constitution, ballot papers, the public media, public security through ritual killings. Why does he need 5 more years when his 18 months have been a disaster of powercuts, inflation increased by 300%, universities closed, the Kwacha is useless, thousands of jobs lost in the mines, and many more in the manufacturing sector? He should just retire to his bar in Chawama.

    • Are you sincerely saying Lungu caused the commodity prices go down hence mines down sizing?Are you saying Lungu reduced copper exports hence no forex for a strong kwacha? Are you saying Lungu reduced the waters in the Kariba dam hence low electricity generation? Are you saying Lungu told the university students to riot or is it not an indisciplined child who does not listen when the parents say wait, I will give you? Please hatred affects the hater, allow God to live in your heart and give your life to Jesus Christ.

    • Namaloya wa Ng’amba even your name says it all… you are such a dullard to comprehend that HH is nothing but an opportunist…

  4. Mambala iwe… what have you achieved yourself for the Zambian people? You rooted the proceeds of our copper-mines and other assets of the former state owned firms during privatisation…

    Why haven’t you shared your riches with the very poor that you want to serve as their presidents first… Belonging to your party, one immediately feels an outcast. I really fear for ethnic cleansing in Zambia where you to become Zambian president (Please God forbid)

    • Lungu has already started ethnic cleansing with his ritual killings. He then organized xenophobic attacks against Rwandans. During all that time Lungu never said anything as if people were not being killed. That is how Hitler started by victimising marginal groups before unleashing his killing machine against the Jews. The world is watching. Lungu will end at the ICC like his fellow warlord, Taylor from Liberia.

    • LOL – “What have you achieved yourself for the Zambian people”?? FACT:- HH has been employing dozens and dozens of Zambians long before he joined politics.
      “You ‘rooted’ (looted) the proceeds of our copper-mines and other assets of the former state owned firms during privatisation”? FACT:- Your statement is a big insult to former President Michael Sata who made it his No. 1 mission to recover all looted proceeds. And he drew a blank on HH. If you underestimate President Sata’s resolve when he set his mind to do something, then you my friend don’t know why he was nicknamed King Cobra. If you have evidence, which Sata could not find, why are you withholding it.
      Falsely making the allegations, and mentioning God at the same time? may God have mercy on you.
      Which leaves me to conclude that…

    • Cont’d . …conclude that you are a person with the highest grade of mental retardation. Such a person is referred to as a moron.

    • IT IS WRONG TO ASK HH TO SHARE HIS PERSONAL WEALTH WITH THE NATION. TRUMP IS NOT BEING ASKED TO DO SO IN AMERICA. HH HAS GREATLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS COUNTRY. THROUGH HIS BUSINESSES HH, UNLIKE LUNGU WHO IS STEALING PUBLIC RESOURCES, PAYS A LOT OF TAXES WHICH GO TO BUY MEDICINES, PAYING SALARIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT. HE HAS ALSO CONTRUBUTED TO JOB CREATION UNLLIKE LUNGU WHO HAS DESTROYED JOBS. HH WANT TO BECOME PRESIDENT TO DEVELOP THIS COUNTRY.

  5. When Hichi want to impress his widowed concubine, does some unthinkable self fooling card games way too much to the point that leaves him look more ubupuba than the world knew. Don’t over rate yourself. The violence you are deafeningly singing of threatening Zambians with Scott, GBM and Shiakalima may just take you off including your new home. Ask Brig General Miyanda how we got him in the Ituri Forest when he had Mobutu and Apartheid Boars on his side supporting him. You are nothing to Zambians if you temper with our peace.

  6. the message is flat… the interpretations may be somewhat distorted! satirical writing can cause problems gentlemen. so lets relay this message also to the nurses, teachers, private sector and other civil servants who should remain non partisan during this period. NOT JUST THE SECURITY WINGS! I end here…

  7. This HH is an under 5 politician…. he just likes negativity… you will be wired badly in the election and retired forever you H***** Hichikopo

  8. There are a lot of dunderheads on Lt mushota and her likes,if pf wins zambias balls will be squeezed hard by the west,there will be crying and gnashing of teeth.

  9. Very true. There’s nothing that Lungu has achieved. The economy has been at its worst, corruption at its worst, disregard for the constitution at its worst, using tax payer money or even borrowed money (resource management) at its worst, agriculture – everything has become expensive when it should never have but some genius called lubinda thinks reducing milie meal price is an achievement. It should never have gone up in the first place. The fact still stands that Lungu is incompetent

    • #Wise commentator he is not only incompetent but also clueless,visionless,useless,brainless,hopeless,dullness,spineless,heartless,ruthless,drunkard,a crook and a hardcore swindler.

    • The one who has no vision no clue is HH because he has lost everytime. A visionary and a strategist wins elections. HH is the one who lacks vision, in fact he and UPND have no clue what to offer better than PF. Even now, IPND seems to have alternative vision for Zambia. HH and his Nazi Party and salute are losing in August.

  10. HH is a blind man. It is PF as a party and its policies that have done so much and many affirm this. The problem with HH is that he personalized everything. Lungu is doing it as a party while HH it is all about him. That is why he is failing to make an impact and it will cost him this election again.

    ECZ is an autonomous institution and he cannot control it. His outbursts are nothing a sign of anxiety and phobia. He knows he is getting political gabagge in the defections. These political rejects are only an unnecessary excess language.

    Lungu and PF are winning this election no doubt.

  11. The President during his conference on 13 May, 2016 said, we expect the price of food to be reasonable. Even as he said this, one could tell that he did not believe it himself. Lungu has not provided any solutions to this country and even his analysis of the cabinet provisions, oh my word. We have all heard how the government and political representatives speak. Aggressive and unchallenged torn. Perhaps those that call HH under 5 see and experience something different when they want to buy food, fuel and that they dont notice how many people are now on the street. Team ECL, please pinpoint where you see this country going even just this year alone.

  12. Hh madness disease makes one blind.hh you should say you cant see anything your mps have done ask them to show you any project your personal to holder party has done starting with southern,north western,western,where you are popular.only mad voters can vote for u after cheating these people for so long mps were just insulting govt no out put seen.

  13. PF have squandered a chance to move our country to another level of development. Poverty is higher under PF than under MMD. Truth be told: PF have failed and must not continue in power!

  14. Just a piece of advise to Mr HH: Soldiers and Police do not need to engage in civilian activities like business. If they want business they should resign and let people willing to serve with single minds take their places. What you should be talking about is establishing a special fund for men and women in uniforms which builds a house for each family and pays for school fees up to university for their children and also pays for medication even when someone has retired. Don’t compromise security for the sake of wanting to go to state house. An officer even on leave can be called back anytime. Being a security personnel is a sacrifice its like being a Priest, you can not engage in civilian activities any how you like.

    • WHAT AN AR.SE YOU ARE!! Of course Soldiers and the Police can engage in Business or any other activity like any other citizen? Which part of the constitution prohibits them? Dont be so dull and stu.pid mate.

    • That is encouraging laziness. Who said men in uniform can not engage in meaningful business or farming?

    • These two have already been seen patronizing hotels for secret sexual rendezvous—SORRY MUTINTA!!

      But YES, there is plenty wrong with it; HH is a married man ba fimbwi imwe! What you are encouraging here is “Chauvinistic Machismo” of the worst kind—this “TONGA BULL, TONGA BULL, TONGA BULL” cr@p should stop!

  15. Comment: HH, please tell me, do your mps receive CDF? If so, how have they applied it or are they just interested in gratuity?

    • @BE REAL:
      Why are you ONLY interested in UPND MPs leaving out PF, MMD and FDD MPs? Are they not human like all other MPs? It shows how shallow and s.tupid you are! Ars.ewhore!!

  16. He has insulted the men & women in uniform day in day out. Clearly he has never had respect for them so what has changed now for him to start addressing them.
    Can someone also clarify is that Mutinta hichilema besides hh in the picture???
    Sonta apowabombele!!! 2016 ECL

  17. Hakainde’s eyes are open but sees NOTHING. Yesterday the president held a press briefing so that HH may now use his ears since his eyes have a problem in seeing. Is he playing blind and deaf for a special reason?

  18. So this is HH’s strategy? Issuing statements ad nauseum every day that are forgotten as soon as they are published. Somewhat disingenuous to put the blame solely on Lungu when he is dining with the likes of Scott, gbm, Mulenga Sata, awisi Nono, that thug Ngoma and Masebo who have all played a significant part in creating the quagmire the country is now in.

  19. ONE UNITARY SOVREIGHN STATE OF 73 TRIBES MAKE ONE ZAMBIA. LOSING IS ALWAYS PAINFUL BUT WE ALL JUST HAVE TO ACCEPT WHO EVER YAWEH GIVES US AS PRESIDENT AFTER THE POLLS. MAY THE LORD GOD GIVE US WHAT WE DESERVE IN LINE WITH HIS WILL, IN JESUS`S NAME.

  20. Upnd mps very useless there work was / is to organise cadres to beat pf yonths.look at kabompo,mwinilunga,etc have remained behind these useless mps fear hh to go to various ministries to lobby.your mps fail to do personal project eg lufuma / kabompo depends on a house he bought from govt( guest house) no improvement.hh and your mps very tribe can only be accepted using tribal remarks.nwp pipo are waiting to hear bembas are stealing your copper to develop a village in chinsali

  21. Some comments here SMH. Those of you saying they is nothing he has achieved. Before we even go further… QUESTION IS: What have you same ones achieved in your individual lives and helped out your families, relatives, friends and communities to some extent…?WHAT??This thing of a president being a saviour and doing everything for us should come to an end. Ofcourse we expect Lungu or any other president there is at a particular time to do better with good governance policies etc but what are we doing ourselves as citizens…?Elo this issues of HH trying to appear as if his Mr.Know leaves much to be desired. Let him as many have stated rightly here…tell us what his going to do when elected, not Lungu this Lungu that. Those kind of politics are way GONE.And you are here bragging ati we…

  22. ON his KIGALI comparison to Zambia SEE WORLD ECONOMIC OUTLOOK ON AFRICA 12 MAY 2016

    when you hear the conversations that went on from RWANDA at WEC you will Agree THAT HH is not being Honest on ZAMBIAS FORTUNES relative to other countries performance

    Look at the Reports and conversations critically you will agree HH has underemphasised the Performance of His colleagues

    https://www.weforum.org/events/world-economic-forum-on-africa-2016/live#stream
    Zambia has fairly performed

  23. I wish HH could point what he has done positive in UPND apart from the historical fours loses the party has achieved and rebranding UPND as a most tribal party

    • He has positioned and lead UPND to be a serious challenge to PF, such that all PF and their kaponya supporters see is HH, in the toilet they see HH, when eating the see HH, when the they look at their partners they see HH, when they sleep all they see is HH.

      Muli mu Chibe pa PF.

  24. Proof of bad character. Common decency, requires a man to present with some sort of good breeding when you enter the boxing ring of life. Be gracious to your fellow contestor relaying on your skills to accomplish the task ahead. This is just plain untrue,we all have witnessed much contribution and accomplishment by this last gov’t. And have observed a genteel soul in President. Lungu combined with nerves of steel as he has busily kept his head steering our country out of temporary difficulties. The haughty picture of HH and His sidekick Maureen over the article is disdainful to readers whom they hope to manipulate.

  25. HH you are a leader who has eyes but can not see. you should learn to appreciate what somebody has done. you are far a way from being a president, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob forbids. In fact you will never be, says the Almighty God, prove my words come August 11, 2016. Your behaviour and speech has no place in Zambia, in any civilised society, in the Bible and indeed in the mind of the Almighty God whom I serve. It’s only the Devil who will speak evil of any creation through out his life, so are you. hatred does not appreciate, it blinds, where people are seeing miracles and wonders, a person full of hate will see evil. You hated MC Sata to the point of death, if you had a way you could have told him ” May his soul rest in eternal hell” . WHAT TYPE OF A LEADER ARE YOU, WHO CAN NOT…

  26. pulizi ba hh. for the last time am kindly asking you to state what you intend to do for zambia and not what edy has failed to do.otherwise i will not vote for you. under five zooona. time is running out and you are just busy buying job seekers at chainama. in case you have forgotten, those people you are buying supported you in 2015, why are you buying them again.what kind of an economist are you.

    • HH is saying he will provide astute and pricise leadership based on sound economic and social principles with all in GRZ accountable for their actions..
      That is what is lacking, sound leadership.
      Right now in PF GRZ no one is accoutable for anything. Failure and substandard work is seen as normal.

  27. These elections are a battle between light and darknes, its war between powers of light and those of the dark world. One thing i know for sure is that light will win over powers of darkness. As Zambians we all know that lungu suports christian values and is of the light while hh does not believe in christianity and u all know what he believes in.

  28. Big tribe, if HH will never be president, why are there a myriad of schemes by PF to win this election at all costs? We have seen borrowed tactics from Mugabe and now M7 being employed in a bid to remain in office by hook or crook. If you are popular, just play straight and people will vote for you. It must feel real bad to know that you can be obliterated from the political landscape just like that if you don’t fiddle with the election process. All of you must be keeping your fingers crossed that the M7 formula works!

  29. The fact that ECL started campaigns way back is a sign of great fear. The first lady has toured the country more than officials from Ministry of Agriculture. The daughter has been donating shoes to some parts of the country. So if your opponent is an under 5, what is this fear all about?

  30. Ediga and PF are boasting about building this and building that, it is all using borrowed money. Anyone can build what they have build using funds they did not produce, anyone can build with borrowed money. The proof is in producing wealth for the nation, not borrowing more.

    • You have got issues iwe mabala… Think beyond your tribe, you might have a chance of winning mu August.
      There is something very wrong with you people from Southern Province, No much how much you are educated!!

    • I am not Tonga. Just looking back ECL at lungus speech, everything he mentioned was using borrowed money. That is the point. You thieves see nothing wrong with borrowing as long as you are getting kickbacks and enriching yourselves, while more conscientious Zambians worry about the borrowing and corruption.

    • No one asked you whether you are Tonga. Sometimes it hard to shade of a tribal attitude. Tell me which country in the world that is not borrowing or has no debt. Even your small God HH borrows for his companies. Borrowing is ok and functional. H is only cheating you and therefore a bad leader. A good leader is truthful in anything. That is why he is not fit and will not president of Zambia. Insults do not win election but wisdom and respect. HH and and UPND are yet to learn this.

    • Asigai
      If you read Mrs sakala post above, it clearly indicates her thinking I am tonga,
      Now every country borrows, but borrow with in your limits, unlike you theives who borrow for everything while spending lavishly on your selves then have runaway inflation and go back bankrupt crawling with your tails between your legs to the IMF for help.

  31. Iwe HH wilabepa abantu, we are not fools what have you done yourself? PF can point on something especially to your areas i have been there before,during and after, the area was discus-ting now you are enjoying the bridge and the good roads………what can you tell us …nosense

  32. And Mr. Hichilema has warned that the Electoral Commission of Zambia will be responsible for whatever will happen in the country if it insists I printing ballot papers in Dubai – does this man want to rule over a peaceful nation? What calibre of leadership is this? Set fire to the country if I lose ??????

    • Where does HH say he will set fire up he loses??.
      Many people are suspicious of the ballots being printed in dubai, people may feel cheated if elections don’t go their way especially after warning about the dubai printers.
      ECZ is supposed to consider all arguments and reach a solution agreeable to all.

    • Typical Pama Fi misinterpretation of of everything, let me ask you a simple question since national assembly olo parliament as you like to call it even when the president is not in attendance has been dissolved, who is your cabinet accountable to, at the moment?

    • Kaili HH is a Freemason, that’s why he preaches war and not peace.. what do you expect from a devil worshiper? even his party colors are red for blood… he believes in blood letting since he is a son of the devil… how else can you explain his sudden wealth? it came from the devil…

    • Space like lilo and Divide and Conquer: I see from your names that you subscribe to HH’s style of inflammatory speech. If some one says-” …. the Electoral Commission of Zambia will be responsible for whatever will happen in the country if it insists I printing ballot papers in Dubai – what do you think that means? Perhaps we should start from your understanding of that sentence. That is a direct quote from the story, in case you think i made it up.

    • Myzambia
      Elections are a serious matter and modalities should be agreed by all. If the opposition lose, after stating categorically that they are not happy with the imposed printers, do you expect them to lose quietly?? there will definitely be noise and maybe even worse by citizens who will feel cheated and ECZ will be responsible.

      ECZ can not even explain how they arrived at that decision to print in dubai which is more expensive despite all the other beedees providing the specs.

    • Marley, you are questioning the integrity of an institution that has won local and international praise for being transparent. These allegations of rigging are there every election year and yet we manage to change governments. If we lose faith in ECZ and HH wins, are we then to accept those results? Wont we say he intimidated his way to victory which is not acceptable in fair electoral practice.

    • My Zambia we are not speaking from without.Heads will raw if ECZ prints ballots from Dubai.For the first time we shall see that Zambians can fight.Blood which will haunt Lungu for the rest of his life.This is a do die election.Wina azanya oil.VIVA HH 2016 its yours boss.

    • Myzambia

      An explanation as why the dubai printer was chosen over the SA printer of the last elections by ECZ would go s long way in coming the situation.
      Is the criteria used this time a state secerate???

    • Who is your illegal cabinet accountable to at the moment and where have they been drawn from, has your president followed what the Constitution says or misinterpreted it?

  33. Comment:yes yes again why is it that upnd always resorts ti insults….am always insulted almost beaten today by luster who has ka berbershop at compond centre in mandevu for refusing to defect to them……what if hh wins what wil happen? …..pls lets not giv them chance to penetrate…..ECL ….

    • @Kalunga pantu tamumfwa twakulapuma fye ba PF.Fafontini we shall now be bitting you.You tribalist .

  34. Because of the large number of PF members welcomed, he can’t say that the PF has failed anymore, agony of being tied.

    • Kaloba ati sonta epo wabomba.You should be shy ne ndalama ifya kungola.You thieves sons and daughters of a bruto viper we shall cruch your heads.VIVA HH.

  35. Listen to him or her carefully. If HH did not say anything about the separation of secret societies from politics, then he is another bluffer. If these two don’t apologize or repent for their involvement in the persecution of Bembas / Easterners between 2001 and 2008, you should know they are bluffers. During the last 50 years 21 African presidents were killed in office, 39 coups d’état have been committed, and since 2014 altogether 14 presidents died in office in the world, 11 were African presidents (President Sata included). Zambia security agencies must be commended for maintaining peace and more recently for apprehending ritual killers who UPND has never condemned. Any intelligent Zambian must ask them what the correlation is between ritual killers and the UPND campaign. Our…

  36. August 11 will be a great time for the politically neutral. I predict the UPND has not done enough to gain popularity and they will be tested by the caliber of people they place to stand as MPs.

  37. I can assure you even Obama is not appreciated in the US despite his achievements. Politicians are hardly appreciated even HH will be insulted and disapproved on this very blog if at all he becomes president.

  38. The people of Eastern Province must never allow again what happened to Late Reuben Chitandika Kamanga (1st Vice President) and Rupiah Banda to happen to one of their own. The cartel in Zambian politics has always fought Presidents from Eastern province. Rupiah Banda was ridiculed for no reason but for defeating a Tonga candidate (Magande). In this coming election people in Northern and eastern Provinces must vote for their man 100% and NOT to expect help from southern province. Wako ni wako – period.

    • @Marley the truth hurts like hell. Easterners like me have become wiser. Once bitten twice shy and believe me we have learnt from the Southerners. Whenever they field their own the vote en masse for their own; why not us kansi?

    • Seed of a Bemba man you are very dull for exposing your secreats to your enemies.Now you have sold your strategy of winning.No Kaonde,Lozi,Lunda,Luvale,Mbunda,Kachokwe,Ila,Tonga,LuachaziLamba,Soli,Lenje and many more will vote for Lungu because they now know that you are tribalists.In town we speak Bemba but 3/4 we are not Bemba so we shall vote for HH and see what will happen.Thank you.

    • @ 45.1 Marley,

      You insult the people from Northern/Eastern provinces and yet you are crying for their votes. Your HYENA Hungry(HH) man will remain in opposition for ever if you don’t evolve. Your tribe is known to teach hatred against other innocent tribes. Your hatred originates from your tonga homes, it was a hidden fact but now your behavior is exposed. Change for the better!

  39. It seems ECL and ECZ have resolved to print ballot in Dubai irrespective of what all Opposition parties think. On this basis disputed elections are inevitable on 11th August 2016.

  40. Elders you Sometimes when you do a little bit of research then you will know that Rwanda similarly with Zambia is Not Performing given its immerse endowments with natural resources It has half of the country covered with resources yet its Growth is below expectations its revenue losses are significant as result similar to Zambia with reduced capital flows in capital and remittances resulting in similar fallout of the Rwanda’s franc and Reserves
    I hope he has been to KIGALI RECENTLY FOR THE WORLD ECONOMIC OUTLOOK IN AFRICA 12 to 14 may 2016 He should have not PUT THESE COMMENTS especially with forecast on Rwanda pointing less better than…

  41. This HH is truly full of hot air, malice and hatred…. how is it possible for a sitting government to do NOTHING in 5 years? this on its own is an IMPOSSIBILITY… this HH is full of NOTHING BUT PROPAGANDA… I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR THIS FOOL and ANYONE WHO VOTES FOR HIM IS PLAIN DUMB!!!

  42. After Bonking Maureen Mwanawasa, this HH is now a hallucinating about being the next president…. forget it you HH… you will never be president of zambia…. after August 11th you will be extinct

  43. The cheap and easy way to secure a vote to plot 1 is to convince the electorate that your opponent is not doing anything. That is the cheap and out of fashion way to approach the presidency especially if you are a perpetual opposition leader. A more mature and civilized way is to acknowledge the success of your opponent but pinpoint critical areas which you think makes you a better candidate. Surely HH, you can be a bit more fairer than that. ECL has completed a number of projects that were started by MMD as well as those started by Sata. So for you to say he has done nothing is being less ingenuous.

    • Walanda Tresph Chitamfya…. spot on.. this HH is always negative… always criticizing… on a Monday morning you can be in a good mood, but when you hear or read what this Under 5 says on that morning the whole day get’s ruined because of his negativity…. have you ever seen God speak negative? no.. When there was darkness in Gen. 1, God said Light BE….. this HH just spews negativity… he is truly from the dark side!!!! Do not vote for HH the satanist …. otherwise you will regret

    • Look at the dull PF, they expect the opposition who is varying for office to speak positive of them and support them. Are you for real??

  46. @ Lutuku Presido, does it seem fair for you to insult others on this blog? If you can’t run with the big dogs, stay on the porch.

  47. @ 45.1 Marley,

    You insult the people from Northern/Eastern provinces and yet you are crying for their votes. Your HYENA Hungry(HH) man will remain in opposition for ever if you don’t evolve. Your tribe is known to teach hatred against other innocent tribes. Your hatred originates from your tonga homes, it was a hidden fact but now your behavior is exposed. Change for the better!

  48. Wise Zambians will not forget where they are coming from.
    Look here, HH is not a politician and he never had a vision of becoming a politician let alone ruling this country. HH is only UPND leader and presidential candidate because Mazoka’s widow wanted someone with money to continue running what she considered her husbands political party, much like the kasebas of this world. However more important was that that individual had to be tonga, this was revealed by Sejani but it was representative of the general UPND membership at the time. The uond has never denied this because it is impossible to deny it, it is a fact. The lure of the possibility of becoming republican president convinced HH to accept take the mantle, regardless of the tribal nature of his coronation at the top of UPND…

  49. The UPND has never denied this because it is impossible to deny it, it is a fact. That is why HH did not rise from the political ranks, why he was never an MP , a councillor, or a mere party official as happens with those who have political ambitions, this HH never had any, and does not have any. The lure of the possibility of becoming republican president with all the benefits that he could see convinced HH to accept take the mantle, regardless of the tribal nature of his coronation at the top of UPND. To this date no other UPND member satisfies these conditions, which Is why no one talks about a convention in UPND, no challenge to HH……contd

  50. Contd…HH’s rise to business mogul was purely opportunistic, ( well he probably had some business sense after all he is an economist), and he thought that the route to presidency was just as opportunistic, well he has found that it is the opposite and he is frustrated but then he is already there so why not stick it out. That is why up to now you don’t see any politician in HH, he always shoots himself in the foot, and he has no vision. If you look closely at what he says about what he will do, you will realize he knows that if he won, he would take over a country with basic infrastructure already laid out for him, load shedding will have been resolved, prices of copper creeping back upwards….in short there is nothing that he says which is not already being addressed by Edgar. That…

  51. ….contd….Edgar is hard tested material, facing and addressing challenges every minute every second while the rest (abashala) enjoy the luxury of simply criticizing everything and anything, good or bad.
    HH is simply an opportunist, why on earth would any reasonable Zambian put an opportunist in power, a guy who has no clue what problems face his country, let alone have the stamina to solve them? Not me and my family and friends! It’s the tried and tested Edgar for us! The rest nibangwele opportunists.

  52. Can someone please tell me what is happening between HH and Maureen. I hear HH chased his wife in preference to Maureen. Is this true? If true, then HH has lost it on moral grounds. No vote for him from me. Viva Chagwa.

  53. But some people are just impossible!!! How can HH claim that ECL has done nothing. Is this man blind? Or he didn’t listen to what ECL said during his address to parliament? The PF govt’s achievements were clearly spelt out. I see only frustration in what HH said. Kosani baba. Viva ECL, Viva PF.

  54. Like others have said: HH, please sonta epo wabomba. I can’t see anything, except to learn that your workers are getting peanuts, contrary to what you have been preaching about good life for Zambians. If you can’t sonta, what hope is there that you can manage the bigger enterprise called Zambia?

  55. Am so excited that a number of people in Southern Province are appreciative of PF’s achievements for Mother Zambia (saw it on TV news). Hope this will also be reflected in a change in the voting pattern of the province. Wina azalira. Viva ECL, Viva PF.

  56. Concerned only on winning. Requirement of a letter frm Examinations council of Z is a nightmare ,just verify certificates only.People are travelling frm Chilubi. This will disfrachise alot of people.What is needed is grade 12 not with extra insertions frm exam council.Somebody pick this up people are suffering travelling to Lusaka.

  57. Hey hh tell me what has Masebo once with ZRP, MMD, PF and now UPND done for the Zambian voters. Hey HH what has Maureen Mwanawasa done for the orphans or young girls? Wasn’t she found guilty of embezzling funds? You are surrounded by delusional politicians.

  58. HH is a hypocritical liar show us the maize which government exported at $200 and now importing the same at $500 please we want to see…..hahahaha Liar.
    Privatization is back to hunt you down …..Lima bank issues, under valuing of national assets ,
    No sat..an-sit govern Zambia…freemasonry…
    Repent please.
