ZAMBIANS will be endorsing Gender Based Violence (GBV) if they are going to vote for Hakainde Hichilema and his running mate Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba in the August general elections, Kelvin Fube has warned.
Mr Fube, who is Patriotic Front (PF) deputy elections chairperson, said Zambians should heed President Edgar Lungu’s call to seriously scrutinise presidential running mates in political parties that would be participating in the coming general elections because some had documented records of Gender Based Violence.
He said President Lungu had challenged Mr Hichilema to explain how he had preferred Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba as his running mate over his long and faithful vice-president for political affairs Canisius Banda to forewarn Zambians about the danger of making wrong choices on leadership. Mr Fube said in a statement yesterday that the women rights movement and the church had betrayed Zambians for failing to condemn Mr Hichilema for selecting Mr Mwamba as his running mate despite having a record of engaging in GBV.
He challenged the Women’s Lobby Group, NGOCC, WILSA, Catholic and United Church of Zambia (UCZ) women and Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) president Linda Kasonde to state their position on Mr Hichilema’s running mate because GBV was an evil that should never be condoned in a civilised society. Mr Fube alleged that the UPND had embraced personalities whose characteristics was nothing but causing terror in communities and that the UPND leader had embraced The Post Newspaper for neglecting to honour its tax obligations which he said was a criminal act.
“Voting for Mr Hichilema will be directly endorsing GBV which his running mate Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba has embraced whole heartedly. It is a betrayal that the women’s rights movement, the church and other right thinking Zambians have failed to call Hichilema’s bluff on his endorsement of GBV as per record in The Post regarding his running mate,” he said. And Mr Fube said Zambians should re-elect President Lungu and his running mate Inonge Wina because of their dedication to delivering development to the country.
He said Zambia was in safe hands under President Lungu because the Head of State was a God fearing leader.
He said President Lungu was the best presidential candidate among all the candidates and that his humility and respect for citizens had placed him far ahead of the coming presidential race.
Will they be endorsing chewing other people’s money if they vote for PF?
Upnd are in support of gbv and all criminals toning state through taxes.
No voter aparthy this time and everyone is voting like tongas and see if your hh will win.
I WISH TO ADVISE, IN GOOD FAITH, KBF TO IMPROVE ON HIS POLITICAL DISCOURSE. HE IS SO BASIC AND SHALLOW. FROM AN EDUCATED PERSON AND A LAWYER YOU EXPECT REAL ISSUES TO COME FROM HIM BUT SO FAR HE HAS NOT BEEN DIFFERENT FROM FRANK BWALYA, MUMBI PHIRI AND CHISHIMBA KAMBWILA. COULD IT BE A COMMON PF DISEASE TO BE SHALOW MINDED AND PETTY. PLEASE RISE ABOVE THIS LEVEL.
Edgar chakolwa Kaloba Wrungu stole money from a widow that’s why his law practice license was suspended. Edgar is a thief defend him with facts.
General Kanene is PF ambassador on GBV, kanene is the composer of sontapo song.
This Kelvin Bwalya will cost PF this elections … Zambians are not dull. Remember what RB tries on Sata, calling him vicious and all that… Ask Dora, RB cried.
Well said. GBM and HH are the biggest mistakes the country can make. We cant afford to have such jokers.
It’s a game of evidence, there is evidence for GBM and GBV, he has confessed. Where is your evidence of corruption in the PF?
MANOMAMBULWA …Arent you expecting far too much from the failed human being….KBF is a failed Lawyer, like Lungu…They both have nothing to show
This is very true. All those protesting gender violence must start with GBM. This bully has no place in high office. We pray his long suffering wife, Chama will have the sense to take him out and claim self defense.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW TRUE GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE, THEN ASK EDGAR LUNGU AND HIS FRIEND KANENE. LUNGU RELEASED THIS WOMEN-BATTERING MAN FROM PRISON SIMPLY BECAUSE HE IS A SUBSCRIBER TO VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN. I URGE ZAMBIANS NOT TO BE DECEIVED BECAUSE ALL MANNER OF EVIL INCLUDING GBV IS FOUND IN PF UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF KAMINAMINSA JAMESON SMOOTH CRIMINAL EDGAR LOOTER CHAKOLWA CORRUPT LUNGU. LUNGU MUST FALL THIS AUGUST. LUNGU MUST BE SENT BACK TO THE COMPOUND SO THAT HE CONTINUES TO DRINK KACHASU SINCE HE IS ADDICTED TO ETHANOL.
Zambians short them selves in the foot when the endorsed the current drunk thieve as a president… its can not get worse that that
Nostradamus – General Kanene is not a running mate.
@ Observer
You are right, kanene is not running mate.
He is CONVICTED RAPIST of a MINOR and has been pardoned by CONVICTED EMBEZZLER and two CONVICTS are campaigning TOGETHER!!!
As to Kelvin, I am not sure than he understand what it means “moral integrity”.
What a team, CONVICTED RAPIST with CONVICTED EMBEZZLER endorsed by LAWYER WITHOUT MORAL INTEGRITY.!!!
Zambians will be endorsing DRUNKENNESS if they vote for Edgar Lungu and PF!
PF IS INSANE AND FUBE SHOULD REALIZE THAT PF CADRES BEAT UP AND STREAMED UP A LADY NACKED IN THE PRESENCE OF THE VP OLD LADY INONGE WINA AND SHE COULD NOT COMMENT. ALL ALONG ZAMBIANS KNOW THAT PF PARTY LEADERS HAVE NO RESPECT FOR LADIES. LET THEM GO OUT. WE HAVE SUFFERED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.
PLEASE BE ADVISED ALL LOVING ZAMBIANS THAT LETS WORK TOGETHER AND REMOVE PF AND ITS ENTIRE LEADERSHIP SO THAT WE CAN HAVE PEACE IN ZAMBIA.
I give credit for Edgar Chakolwa Kaloba Wrungu’s talent to assemble such a bunch of clueless,useless,brainless,hopeless,directionless,ruthless,heartless,spineless,needless,dullness and drunkards as him indeed birds of the same feathers flock together.
I am left to wonder whether the Patriotic Front has run out of campaign messages. Campaign messages with substance are required on the platform not these immaterial issues from heads which full of garbage mwe bantu. This so called Fube is too petty.
And if you vote the Chakolwa Kaloba Wrungu Edgar you will be voting for thieving and poverty. Edgarexit,Chakolwaexit,Pamafiexit,Pfexit
If you will vote for the 2016 most incompetent and idi0tic president of the millennium Edgar chakolwa Kaloba Wrungu just know that ULICIPUBA SANA.
UPND = GBM = Self confessed Wife Batterer
UPND = POST = PAYE Employees tax Fraud + Tax Evader
PF + ECL = CONVICTED EMBEZZLER for his own enrichment with tax-payers contributions
CONVICTED EMBEZZLER + CONVICTED RAPIST + KELVIN = ENDORSEMENT OF IMMORALITY
WHY HAS THE APPOINTMENT OF GBM BECOME A VERY BIG ISSUE FOR PF? IT MEANS THEY HAVE FELT HIS HEAVY WEIGHT, A PERSON THEY CLAIMED TO BE A NOTHING. IT SEEMS ALSO THAT THEY ARE SPENDING SLEEPLESS NIGHT OVER GBM. BA PF HAD ACCUSED HH AND UPND TO BE TRIBAL. HH AND UPND HAVE APPOINTED GBM, A BEMBA FROM THE ROYAL FAMILY, AND IT HAS BECOME A CAMPAIGN ISSUE FOR PF. IF HH HAD APPOINTED ANOTHER PERSON AS HIS RUNNING MATE HE WAS GOING TO BE ACCUSED OF SIDELINING THE BEMBAS AND OF BEING TRIBAL. IT SHOULD BE MENTIONED THAT GBM HAD SERVED IN THE PF GOVERNMENT AT VERY SENIOR LEVEL. DURING THAT TIME HIS BEHAVIOUR WAS NOT AN ISSUE. WHEN HE IS WORKING WITH UPND AND HH, IT HAS BECOME AN ISSUE. WHY? IF I MAY ASK. GBM GO FORWARD, DON’T LOOK BEHIND. A LION IS NOT BOTHERED BY THE BARKING OF SMALL DOGS. GO, GO, GO…
….THEY ARE SCARED OF YOU.
Manomambulwa – What weight about GBM? He is just fat. People are surprised that a self proclaimed intelligent human being can want to impose a vulgar, illiterate character on the people. Even people who go to attend GBM’s rallies must question themselves.
Is this PF’s so called issue based campaign? These guys have run out
of ideas. Let normal people ignore their idiocy. No matter how much
you malign your opponents, your political fortunes will not improve. Remember
how Sata was insulted everyday by Dora, Chanda Chimba, ZNBC and others?
Voters simply ignored such rubbish and voted for their man of choice. The issue
in this election is about the economy and PF has lamentably failed. The only
message of significance to voter is on how you will improve their living condition
or fix the economy.
Ok… So when PF allows Liato and Masumba, both ex-convicts, to stand, what are they endorsing?
This is the biggest problem I have with HH. Why, out of all the eligible people in UPND, would he pick an abuser? Its wrong on so many levels. I am equally disappointed that the women’s organisations have said nothing about this. He should have been condemned from the beginning.
Een you bloggers here know that GBM is not the right person for UPND VP. The man beats his wife and workers!! Can you imagine how he will be when he gets that power?
On point kbf. This time we are voting. My people are voting in the village. My neighbours are voting. This time don’t expect upnd to even be any closer. We are annoyed and everyday we can’t wait to show them that we can vote. Watch this space….. ecl all the way….
More like calling the kettle black…… PF with short memory – GBM belonged to you, you have Kanene the child molester and wife beater singing your praises, you never condemned the undressing of a UNDP female cadre. UNDP and PF, you are all the same really! My precious vote is not going to any of you!
And yet Kanene is not seeking to become VP.
PF pardoned Kanene and endorsed the worst form of GBV!
No matter what PF says, we are voting UPND!
Ni Change fye apa capwa tiye nayo Viva HH Viva Upnd
KBF is spot on!!! We cannot vote for a party (UPND) and a party president (HH) that has as its running mate a well know perpetrator of Gender Based Violence in GBM. For what message does it send to the whole world other than that Zambians endorse Gender Based Violence and its effects of marginalizing women in terms of their participation in national development by having them spend more time seeking medical treatment. GBV is also known to make marginalized women dependent on abusive men because society cannot empower them. Not to mention how GBV has a domino effect on children who experience GBV in homes by making them grow up to think it is normal for their fathers to batter their mothers and for the likelihood of these same children to become perpetrators of GBV. We cannot certainly as…
The greatest and most strategic decision that HH made was to choose GBM as his Running Mate. The regionalist and tribalists in PF are now crying and have been shamed. Now they are character assassinating both HH & GBM. The English people will tell u that “if u live in a glass house u don’t throw stones”. PF should tell the Nation why they chose ECL as a Presidential candidate when they knew that:
1. Lungu stole a client’s money and was de-barred as a practicing lawyer by LAZ.
2. Lungu is a drunkard,a thug, a corrupt person.
3. Lungu stole K23.7million from govt
4. Lungu has resolved to steal our votes on August 11,2016.
5. Lungu has misruled Zambia and failed to manage the Zambian economy. Inflation now stands at 22%, prices of basic food stuffs have trebled, people have lost…
its good that there will be no apathy this time around everyone is going to vote
Ala to be honesty with u ba upnd, alanaifwe tukai votela fwebene like the way u fools voted.
u can not win in 3 our of 10 even if every 1 votes for u in these three provinces.
the way u dont vote for others is the way we will not vote for u also. Us Bembas and Easterners we are not going to vote bantusatan .Sampa and Gbm can’t change our mindsets whom u are very much relying on.
The meaning of Running Mate is that the people are voting for a potential president just in case, God forbid, the president died. If you ask 100 people to choose who will make a better president, between Bo ma Inonge Wina and Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba, Mrs. Wina can get 100/100 and Mr . Mwamba 0/100.
It is Zambia that we are talking about and that’s why we are making comparisons. Only the best is good enough for Zambia.
UPND in its current form of a Devil Worshiper and GBV promotion manager is not fit to rule this country. Full Stop.
Please stop using Bemba names to mislead people that a Bemba is against EL just mention your tonga names ,even on Radios when u just hear some one says ,”just call me mr X OR MWIINGA MULENGA ,” then just know that he is tonga.vote for yourself as we vote for ourselves also, mwanya tamwakaitambe
Again calling the kettle black! How many years was GBM with PF and how many times then did he beat his wife and what did PF do about it? Did they kick him out of the party? When GBM was PF’s side attacking HH before he defected did PF not stand side by side? A drunk endorsed a rapist as an ambassador of GBV and he has disgraced the president by beating and abusing more women after his pardon and he is still not in jail. Even the UN condemned this asking the president to think otherwise. If I recall the Women’s Lobby Group were praising Lungu for Kanene’s release because they were seeking money. In fact a while ago a few women did a protest on the street condemning the brutality against Chama. Now some PF i.diot wants to come swinging saying at UPND when GBM was doing those acts whilst…
Now some PF i.diot wants to come swinging saying at UPND when GBM was doing those acts whilst in PF. Grow up PF! You are a finished product. Your time is up!! I am not a supporter of GBV and infact have not supported HH taking GBM but PF cannot come out and start asking questions now when they should have been asking themselves the very questions when he was their member. In my eyes they just look 5tupid and very desperate to smear UPND. GBM was Sata’s side kick and Lungu’s sidekick once so what are they saying. Rapists and molesters from PF inflicting inhumanity on our women and nothing is done and now they come crying wolf? No! Just go away PF! You scaredy cats! You wolves in sheep clothing!!
Edgar Lungu is a bold and fearless leader, best for our freedoms and he has large capacity for tolerance and mutual respect.
Yes tolerance and mutual respect for theives and corruption.
The current serving Vice President ( not just running-mate) was smiling and applauding when a young woman was beaten and stripped naked at youth day parade. Kanene, a convicted rapist, defiler and women batterer is a PF ambassor and poster boy.
Kelvin Bwalya and Voldka Lungu are failed lawyers both who stole their clients money.
The Fube guy is right. But all the thieves have gone to PF
Which is better endorsing a thief or GBV?
Ati gender based violence, what about political violence perpetrated by PF? Besides gender violence is not the issue faced by Zambian how come it is a campaign matter? PF sure is indeed visionless!
KBF (Kelvin Fube Bwalya) You beat your second wife PATRICA (BANA TISHA). so who are you to point fingers at GBM. You abuse your wife MARY KATEPA with all these young girls. Gender based Violence it is you and PF and Kanene. So please start respecting women first before you judge people. and Chama to start respecting women and your PF party. STOP BEATING PATRICA ( Bana Tisha). Useless small man.
GBM=GENDER BRUTALISING MAN > GBV= GENDER BASED VIOLENCE
