The former famous Kitwe Anglican Church priest Richard Luonde has joined politics and is now aspiring candidate for Nchanga Constituency in Chingola on the Rainbow Party ticket.
Fr Luonde immediately declared that he had joined politics not to eat but to serve the poor people in society.
He said it was his duty as a priest to provide leadership to the poor by helping them enhance their living standards.
He said it was only in Parliament that he could help the people of Nchanga Constituency because that was where laws were made and wanted to be part of the House to be the voice of the people.
The clergyman said the former crop of parliamentarians had neglected the people on the ground and it was high time the people of Nchanga rejected them.
There was nothing strange for him to take a leading role in politics despite some people negatively criticising him that he should not do so.
Fr Luonde said that time had come for change and the electorates should consider voting for a God fearing person and someone who knew the Word so that Nchanga constituency could develop.
He said once put into office he would ensure that he worked on the roads which were in a deplorable state because the previous Member of Parliament had allegedly failed the people.
“It is unacceptable for the mining companies operating in the constituency to prefer much of the bigger contracts to people who are outside the constituency and others from foreign countries and when I am in office, I will make sure that the local contractors and suppliers benefit from the mines,’ he said.
The clergyman said during the campaign that he would concentrate on politics of development unlike other politicians who only preached the message of hate.
He said the people of Nchanga constituency needed a leader who understood their daily challenges because there were some places in the constituency which had no water and electricity.
Father Luonde slept with congregants wives when he was in active church service. To protect him from dying from sex related cases, I request that the people of Chingola reject this infamous priest.
Chingola deserves something better than the man
Is he going to repair roads from his MP salary?
Is he going to be funded by Wynter the waiting president of Zamba?
It will end in tears ba Father. Examples are there for you to see. Look at Ba Nevers, no party and no hope. After smelling the VP job. Then this Bwalya chap he’s just a damn foo.l who ‘ll soon be disgraced. At the moment he’s hanging on. But for how long can he lick boots?
Lock up your daughters in Chingola, Matt P is in town…..sorry I forgot that my hero, MHSRIP, died not long ago.

They gave us the scriptures and while we were busy reading the scripture they looted the continent. Tell them how God loves them, turn the other cheek when I slap you, the slave should be subservient to the master. All those verses to make people timid and submissive. Bring the image of a white man as the son god, give them the impression that God is white and let them bow down to the white missionary.
Unfortunately most people are scared of breaking away from the shackles of mental slavery. They still believe the crap fed to them by the white man reinforced by their parents. Intellectually handicapped because they can’t think outside the box. Centuries’ old box
The Promise of Heaven
The most important aspect of Christianity for the enslaved was the promise of heaven — a promise made by plantation owners. This idea preached the notion that for all the suffering that is done in the physical world, your soul will be preserved and you will experience a hardship-free spiritual life, according to Slave Resistance, A Caribbean Study. What this did for enslaved Black people was give them hope for the future. Converted enslaved people’s belief in heaven allowed some to passively resist their plantation owners and focus on the afterlife. With that belief, all of the beatings and lashings meant nothing because in heaven the enslaved person would be rewarded and the master would be punished.
