President Edgar Lungu says he is no longer a novice but a tested leader where governing is concerned.
President Lungu says he has now gained enough experience to govern the Zambian people to greater prosperity.
He said this at a mammoth rally in Mbala.
“Give me space to work. One year that l have served is not enough,” he prodded the Zambians.
He also introduced PF Mbala aspiring the PF MP including six aspiring councillors vying on the ruling party.
He urged the people of Mbala against making a mistake by voting for opposition UPND leader, Hakainde Hichilema, who he said has no experience to govern the people.
He told the people to vote for him and all his candidates contesting on the PF ticket.
And speaking at the same rally, former Vice President, Enock Kavindele, implored the people of Mbala and the country as a whole against changing leaders.
Mr Kavindele said President Lungu deserves to be maintained beyond August 11 elections because he has delivered and he is delivering to his promises.
Opposition Christian Democratic Party leader, Dan Pule, also endorsed President Lungu as presidential candidate for this year’s poll.
After one year at the head of GRZ all you have gained is the expertise to curtail democratic freedoms and oppress anyone who challenges you.
Doubling you bank account in unexplained ways.
On the economic front you have have nothing to say because you have failed. People have no jobs and inflation is at 22%.
Lungu is a mass murderer. He is murdering Zambians so that he can stay in State House.
The problem with our nation is not only that we quickly forget but also that we easily believe people. How expensive should avbag of breakfast meal be before we realise people have failed? How many more llives should be lost beforevwe realise lawlessness is slowly creeping in? How expensive should life in a third world country be to see that we are economically marooned? If the current government were a company trading on the stock market my humble request to objective Zambians would be count your losses take your money and run! He is jo longer a novice at what? The last time l checked most of the incompetent MP’s have been adopted; the government is still bloated even after disolving parliament. Sometimes you can be so experienced but still incompetent.
CHACHINE WHAT LUNGU HAS SAID. EVEN DURING THE TIME HE HAS BEEN GAINING EXPERIENCE, HE HAS PERFORMED EXCEPTIONALLY, BEYOND PEOPLES’ EXPECTATIONS. HE IS A BRILLIANT AND HUMBLE LEADER. GIVEN 5 YEARS MORE ECL WILL PERFORM WONDERS FOR ZAMBIA AND THE PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA. GIVING LEADERSHIP ON A PLATTER TO A NOVICE UPND’S HH WILL BE UNTHINKABLE ON THE PART OF ZAMBIANS. IN ANY CASE ECL IS GOD-GIVEN TO ZAMBIA. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, PEOPLE.
Announcement
Plans to arrest Edgar Chagwa Lungu should he step foot in the USA have reached advanced stages. The major charge is ordering the death of an innocent lady named Mapenzi Chibulo. An arrest will be effected anytime Edgar Lungu steps on US soil in any capacity; loser or winner of the August 11 elections.
Never seem a useless leader like Lungu in my life. The man is not serious. Ba Ester, dancing like a drunken women?? is it Jameson you had with your husband as breakfast?? State house is sweet and can make people stu.pid.. . These are your last days.. just pack your crazy looking vitenges.
ECL IS tough and tested. This man has a big stick. He is Mr walk the talk
All he does is borrow money and bend rules to suit him.
He is a mugabe in the making, a thug who hides behind the church while unleashing PF huligans on zambians.
Lungu’s big stick should not be used to kill Zambians. Zambians have a right to peaceful lives. Lungu is a mass murderer. He deserves to be sent to the ICC in August.
We Zambians love Lungu I tell you! Mwaume pa baume, a man who delivers according to his word. ECL all the way!
If you are a man I am just wondering how you came to confidently know that Edgar has a big stick ….. Or are u basing it on his claims ?
Murderer murderer that’s what he is.
If the incompetence, manipulation and deceit that Lungu has demonstrated this far is all it takes to be President, then Zambia would be better off without a President!
HH is tough and tested in selling companies to make people surfer and die of depression
And lungu is indeed tough and tested in borrowing, oppression and doubling his bank account.
Where did he get $2.3 million in 1 year while zambians are losing jobs ????
Seems like you have enough evidence. Please be free to open a case against HH because it seems like all regimes from 98′ have failed to have him indicted for this heinous crime of robbing off the people companies
Who started the companies HH sold?…when people talk about Privatization they begin in the middle of the process. there was what was called nationalization. I will vote for tested business man, which this company called Zambia badly need. In fact if ecl is honest with himself, he is no leader at all.
AMJ Banda ni wako ni wako lol,you will cry when your lungu loses.
You still look & behave like a novice to me
1. An experienced guy wouldn’t be shooting a peaceful demonstrating crowd
2. An experienced guy wouldn’t have a tax payed national broadcaster all to himself & his minions
3. An experienced guy would be so confident to let others campaign freely without skewing up the playing field
4. An experienced guy would come up with hard-core plans to diversify the economy, absorb external economic forces that would impact the economy negatively & also provide good conducive atmosphere for local businesses instead of shutting them down like The Post.
Should I go on?
Please bring on some more Spark J, am loving it!!
The PF are empty vessels and their only hope of survival is to manipulate the ignorant uninformed hungry masses and unfortunate for us, its these ignorant individuals who in majority!!
Am only hoping for a poor turnout in Northern, Luapula, and Eastern, anything like less than 45% turnout in these 3 regions will be very detrimental to PF. A 55% (ECL):45% (HH) in Copperbelt and then a 50/50 outcome in Lusaka would be a plus for UPND.
If this can happen then the vision-less batch will be dead and buried for good!!
@Spark Jarrow you are so right. The worst misfortune in all this is that OUR YOUNG PEOPLE ARE GROWING UP IN A WRONG ENVIRONMENT AND LEARNING ALL THE BAD THINGS FROM PF AND LUNGU. Our young are at a huge risk of accepting what is going on as normal and correct when not. These WICKED PF THUGS we have for leaders don’t realize this and they don’t even care. THE FUTURE IS BLEAK for our young people! What a shame!
Yes I concur with you Edgar. HH has no experience and we can not afford to be stagnant as a nation. We need to progress. No need for change as yet.
This mass murderer stole K23m in one year. He never paid taxes on that wealth which is not even commensurate with his remuneration. He has now resorted to killing Zambians with his Police Force and PF murder squads under Kanganja and Max Chongo.
And you believe you are progressing under Edgar? …… I admire how you have marinated yourself in myopia to believe this is progressing….it’s what you don’t see that’s going to eat you this government has admitted failure in managing it’s resources by inviting the IMF to manage the budget for them….undeniable fact!!!!
Ni Lungu chabe and not these hooligans. Good for nothing polygamists.
Chakolwa Chagwa is a mass murderer. Zambia’s biggest murderer is in State House. Lungu is drenched in Mapenzi’s blood.
What a shame.
After spending 10 billion US on development you still find the need to kill zambians and shut down independent media.
You don’t even mention the economy which is a mess.
Shame on you and your tandem of looters.
Clearly, you don’t know when an economy is in a mess. God to Zimbabwe and find out. But even Zimbabwe is still above the water. ECL is too smart to go that route. Your HH in his nappies cannot match up to ECL’s clout. Under ECL, this country is headed for prosperity. WATCH HIM!

Ba DISGUSTED.
Ati you don’t know when a country is in a mess.
Lungu and his smart team have begged he IMF to come back. They have no clue.
And yes you can’t compare lungu and HH, one is a convicted fraudster the other is a successfull business man. Let’s see if you can see who is who.
A leader inspires his people to make great changes through his vision. Obama has a legacy that he wants reign after he leaves his presidency, but Clinton says she will build on what Obama has done and at the same time offers her own vision. But our leader wants a status quo, and does not offer his. Please give us hope, that we will also enjoy 3 meals a day, that we are no longer going to be considered one of the “hungriest” countries in the World. Please, tell us how you will alleviate suffering of an ordinary Zambian. Yes, Infrastructure Projects are good thing, but they are benefiting a few who are making millions within a year. I want a leader who is for all Zambians and not just PF. If you don`t condemn killing of innocent people, that disqualifies you as a leader,you dont show up…
cont`d
…..show up when people need your guidance. We don`t want “Dununa Reverse”, its backwards. We want Dununa Forward with hope. Give us hope, things will change for better. People are scarred what will happen after August 11th…..assure us there will be no mass masacres…give us we are not grooming another “Mugabe”
Ati economy, inflation, no jobs, miners laid off etc. We know those things baba, you are like a broken record and pointing fingers in the wrong direction. We understand the world economy better than your so called “economic manager”. By the way did you follow the proceedings of the recent AFDB meetings in Lusaka? Or you thought it was a propaganda organised by Edgar Lungu? You underfives missed out on rich knowledge of the world’s economic think tanks. Even HH was quait that week, shocked at how ignorant he found himdelf to be……kikikikiki
Yes we know, it is china’s fault, it is the world’s fault, it is the weathers fault.
Mean while we owe $10 billion and counting.
Lungu has been forced to go begging back to the IMF with his tail between his legs simply because he has no clue what so ever.
Then comes the revelation that DRC is begging zesco to continue power exports while our factories are shutting due to the power shortage. PF thinking, they would rather export power to earn hard cash then give power to our factories so zambians get jobs.
Mr Terrible even your thinking is terrible, leadership is about steering the nation during stormy times like economic downturn, don’t even go far, we have examples next door, Botswana and Namibia, those are very steady ships in stormy times, yes they get impacted but they have strong leadership and policies to overcome, ifwe under Lungu kuwayawaya fye.
Our economy has gone south, our leaders cannot think outside the box, don’t even realise the solar energy which is abundance can supplement the hydro energy. Our public services are in shumbles yet fools like you insist Lungu is likeable and approachable, those qualities won’t change our economy. Kuya bebele.
And meanwhile Kenya is growing healthily somewhat in this same global nonsense you also keep singing about like a scratched CD
The contrast betweem HH and Edgar is very clear. Edgar is naturally amicable, likeable, approachable and carries a huge friendly natural smile, really lovable person. HH is always angry, basically unapproachable, scary, no someone we can do business with come 8/11.
Did you see him at Mulungushi yesterday? My God! Very unpresidential behaviour, as usual angry over nothing, in contrast did you the faces if others like Nawakwi etc, very normal and human like, HH looked like satan himself, not happy with humans.
Terrible buffoonery from terrible 1mbecile!!!
@Terrible just say the contrast between ECL and HH is that one is Easterner and one is southern, I terms of quality HH is by far superior than wako ni wako.God in heaven who di tastes Tribalism will give a HH a chance to rule Zambia.
At dancing? He no longer a novice
Kadansa has even learned to hide his glass of Jamesoni under the table when the news cameras are around.
But he even failed in that simple task and Zambians have a picture to prove it!
He is RIGHT! He is not a novice.
Just a shameless FAILURE!
But I hear that HH looked strange but happy in his own evil ways last friday when he was informed that he had succeeded in causing the death of that young lady and two others, but apparently became visibly disappointed when he was told that it was only one and not three. Source: HHs inner circles.
It was state house that was disappointed.
There was no riots or any excuse to cancelle the elections as the intended killing backfired and UPND stewards calmed the situation and showed lungu for what he is , nothing but a thug.
He has been useless all his life, why would he suddenly become competent?
On anothet topic, UPND please update us on your Anglo American project to bring back jobs to.our miners? Have they now recovered and reinstated thise 160,000 miners laid off in other parts of the world? And yet just two weeks ago GBM was promising miners thst he would bring back Anglo to reemploy them? Now which is which imwe ba UPNd because what we know is correct is something else?
Right now lungu and PF are busy exporting power while mines are lying off workers because of load shedding….
The world will need alots of copper soon so just hold your horse you uninformed and uninspired hag.
HH although we will attend your rallies in large numbers we cannot do business with you on 8/11. But on that day we will certainly sign a five year MOU with ECL.
By the way, as correctly advised by Mumbi Phiri, HH please stop talking sex matters with our wives. When will you learn to respect other peoples marriage?
Is this the same Mumbi Phiri who married and reportedly being shugged by Chakolwa?
Lungu be careful for taking Zambians for granted. Zambia has changed from bad to worse since you took over, see what has happened to Turkey.
How can you advise our wives to deny us our conjugal rights? Dont you know that we agreed on this when we married? Were you there HH? And you are an underfive, no respect for older married people. Please HH reserve such talk for your bedroom, and not lije you did at a public rally in Chingola.
The agony is….
When they look at their wives they see HH..
When they try to write some thing the only thing that they write is HH…..
Dont divert the topic, advise your HH not interfere with our private matters of sex. We are not all ***** bulls who talk sex anywhere. We are Zambians with different beliefs on sexuality.
The agony is…..
When they look at their wives they see HH , when they eat they see HH , When they try to think all they can think of is HH….
Finally, where is HH campaigning today so that we warn parenrs of yteenage girls to lock them up and protect them from being sacrificed.
Parents, ignore this warning at your peril.
The agony is…..
They seem taken over by HH. that is all they can think of, HH
Even in Thier bedrooms it is only HH they see……they have forgotten that the country needs leadership. It is only HH they think of.
Breaking news….breaking news…
DRC katanga province governor begs zesco to continue power exports to Congo which were cut due to unpaid bills.
Now that is how PF and lungu think, they would rather earn hard cash by exporting power rather then supply zambian factories to employ zambians and drive exports. Zambian factories are shutting down making people jobless because of no power. But the PF see industrialisation as hard work which they would rather not do.
That is what we mean when we say lungu has no vision and is selfish.
Bear in mind that when DRC completes its construction of its dam they will become one of the biggest producers of hydro electricity in the world.
Lungu never ceases to amaze Zambians. Earlier this year Lungu launched the PF Manifesto at the National Stadium. Is that not the PF’s vision for the next 5 years? How can Lungu expect to be re-elected without a plan or vision of his own? Sata’s vision died with him so Lungu has no vision. He wants to be given another 5 year mandate but does not know what he will he will be doing. He wants to continue with ‘Chipante pante”. HH and UPND have a Ten Point Plan so lets give them a chance to govern Zambia for a change. Mind u without a vision people perish and with a vision people prosper. Vote HH & UPND.
Now I know African politics really need to mature.An average cadre in Zambia and Africa at large when asked to explain the performance of their government, they will instead focus on the personality of their chief and how that chief carries himself.Ask an average cadre in the US,the cadre will expound about immigration,job creation slow down,china economic policies,inflation, fuel, health insurance, Obama care e.t.c because they know that a government is not about one person but a group of people who formulate policies that impact on them.Here we have lazy bu3ms talking smiles, my chief smiles better than your village headman, your village sold companies,your chief stole client money.WTF Africans mature your politics and judge an establishment or administration and not a personality.How…
Kavindele is now a campaign manager. That is why he forced his son to withdrew a criminal case when his son was almost shot for the love of money by Lungu regime. Kavindele is smelling loose money from from Lungu.
Ati not a novice, please Mr Lungu you should now accept the invitation for a live debate with HH.
I am challenging President Lungu to a debate on live TV. I am challenging him to go head-to-head with me to debate our plans and policies for the country so the people can decide for themselves who they want to see in State House for the next five years. This is an opportunity for us to lead by example and send a strong message to our people that we believe that competition in a democracy is about the exchange of ideas and civilised discussion, not violence, slander and intimidation. This is a chance for us to focus on the issues that are impacting the daily lives of our people, such as joblessness, rising food prices and the difficulty of accessing even basic health services. It is a chance for us to educate voters on the choice they face on 11th August 2016.
Hakainde Hichilema
UPND…
At ba Matokwani
Lungu has humbly siad to us that you say taishiba speaking English and dressing properly BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, HE IS SMART AND VERY ARTICULATE LAWYER. This is the difference and gap that hh need to fill or buy. AWE IMWE LUNGUWE LOVE HIM SIMPLE CONNECTIVITY. NOT ALGEBRA OR ABRACADA ABRACADA YA KWA HH NO GBV CALLED GBM
Several Fake Pastors especially from the Pentecoastal Churches this morning lined up at State House to receive money in preparation for the PF National Day of Prayers that has been slated for July 24. According to sources at State House, the Men and Women of Gold have been collecting huge envelopes from the office of State House Permanent Secretary Emmanuel Chilubanama. ” Some started coming yesterday but they were told to come today. If you look at some of them, you can not believe they are Pastors, one came with tropicals and unkempt hair and he claims he is a Pastor from Marapodi,” the source said. Outgoing President Edgar Lungu who behind the scenes is encouraging PF cadres to turn violent against the opposition has asked Northmead Assemblies of God ” Bishop” Joshua Banda to call for…
Bishop Banda who is also Chairperson of National House Prayers has set July 24. Meanwhile, a source from other churches has said they would rather participate in the Law Association of Zambia March for Peace than being fooled by Joshua Banda. ” LAZ has called for March for peace and it sounds more genuine. I do no know what is wrong with our friends from the pentecoastal. They know the solution to the violence but they are also playing politics” the source said. The Council of Churches in Zambia and the Zambia Episcopal Conference will bé part of the March for Peace on Tuesday July 19 organised by LAZ.
As D-day approaches, one jealously guards that voters card to ensure that HH and UPND are peacefully and overwhelmingly ushered into office. God bless Zambia and it’s diversity of people.
The political violence and oppression we have seen is unprecedented .To the Zambian people I say this will never happen again.The united government under UPND will change the political landscape completely.Politics of poverty will be replaced by politics of service to the masses.
Zambian’s will realize that voting for ECL was a big mistake.Miles Sampa or Given Lubinda would have done well to succeed late Sata…
YOUR FRIENDS ARE BUSY ON THE GROUND CAMPAIGNING BUT YOU ARE BUSY ONLINE ISULTING ECL. IT IS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO WILL VOTE FOR ECL WHO MATTER. NOT THE INSULTS. THE PF IS DOWN IN THE VILLAGES WHOOING VOTERS. BUT YOU ARE PREOCUPIED WITH TRADING INSULTS.YOU ONLY HAVE 26 DAYS TO GO. ECL IS IN NP NOW.
The UPND team is in Central Province…
Its true Lungu is no longer a novice. U can’t steal from govt K13million in one year. U cannot keep yr Ministers in their posts illegally if u are novice, u cannot come up with an elaborate election rigging plan if u are a novice, u cannot shoot and kill opposition supporters if u are a novice, u cannot fool Zambians if u are a novice etc. If Lungu rigs his way then people will see what dictatorship means. The chaos in Zambia will be the worst compared to Zimbabwe. Foreign financial assistance to Zambia will dry up under visionless Lungu and Zambia will become a full fledged failed state. Our only hope is HH and UPND. Vote wisely.
Central province here we come.HH ni Mbama not fimeno Lungu.
“Give me space to work. One year that l have served is not enough,” he prodded the Zambians.
Really laughable this LAZY BUM Edgar wants space to work yet all he does is lazy about at airport tarmacs and in GRZ Challenger sipping whiskey and depleting the drinks cabinet….this bum has not made any Policy Pronouncements in 12 months if he has done anything it has been u-turned…he has only progressed in his bank balance and his net worth. Even former housewife Ester now has friends in the solar industry and a proud owner of a charity that isn’t short of funding.
God, Please what has Zambia done to deserve a leader like Lung?
In his one year these are his achievements;
1. Inflation has gone up from 7% to 22%
2. USD$ from K7.1 to USD$11.09
3. Mealie Meal from K65 to K85
4. Corruption has increased and he never talks about it.
5. Has made K23 Million (US$2.3 Million) for himself
6. His PS and Kaizer Zulu have become amogest the top 10 richest people in Zambia.
7. Zambia Breweries made over 130% profit
8. First President to have 3 separate Presidential Escort vehicles numbering 100 Land Cruisers and Nissan Hard body because of his frequent movements. A total staff of 300 have been assigned to his movement.
9. No opposition Leader has been interviewed on ZNBC since he became President.
10. Never before has LAZ decided to stage a protest…
@Mary,
That is called “Dununa Reverse”, unfortunately they don`t realize that, the song is right on. The picture shows him dancing, I am sure its the dununa thing and he loves this song.
We want Dununa Forward !!!
its amazing how some 1 can talk of experience when the economy of our nation crumbled who tod u that running a Country calls for experience because the only thing we have seen with your leadership is breakdown of law and order by your self employed cadres aimed at maiming Zambians and u claim to cover yourself with being a christian. wait you can’t mock God he will surely answer us 1day mind u where are all those world leaders who that they are clever by mistreating people we know where your are getting your dictatorial tendencies Mugabe and Museveni but don’t forget that this is not Zimbabwe or Uganda God will surely embarrass you shame.
like it or not elc is winning in august the only mistake elc has made is to come from the blues and be president
Pipo elc is GOD CHOSEN Last year they tried to broke him they failed you think this time they will succed. LESA NGA NA LANDA NINSHI NALANDA.WHO EVER COMMENTS EVIL ON ELC ITS OUT OF HATE
ECL’s experience and maturity = 50% kwacha devaluation,load shedding,job losses,inflation at 22% ,Fitch downgrades, larger debt and ineptly managed economic growth of just 3%.
Even PF itself is more divided,Lusaka is dirtier and people are hungrier.
Bad self-description there. There is hardly any politician in the country (let alone the world) who is really qualified for their job as a politician. Just look at kindergarten teachers becoming president, bus attendants and drivers becoming president, and the list goes on. So let’s cut the bull.cr.ap about being a novice or expert. You only become an expert each time you survive the peppered speeches and lies. This is the Century when that WILL NOT WORK. You lie and everybody tweets it. You U-Turn and everyone googles what you said twenty years ago!!! So the point is you must be a NEW politician now, not an expert politician. That no longer counts!
Zonda uzalema Lungu awina chino chaka nafuti nafuti.
From zero to billions in such a short time! No novice indeed! He has outdone himself at the expense of ndwiiiii Zambians.
VIVA MULIOKELA. STATE HOUSE IS YOURS. viva
