“….IT IS NOT ABOUT DEMOCRACY BUT TYCOONS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO FURTHER ENRICH THEMSELVES”
By Cephas Mushanga
Former Nigerian President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has appealed to the government of Zambia to adhere to the rule of law and human rights principles in dealing with the opposition in the Southern African country of Zambia…. has been the scream of UPND sympathetic media carriers.
It is well known that HH has the funding of Anglo America, however, what people may not know is that in October 2014 a Brenthurst Conspiracy was hatched, this conspiracy was a conglomerate of mining businessmen who wanted to rid off President Edgar Lungu and usher in fellow businessman Hakainde Hichilema.
Attendees at the meetings included Jonathan Oppenheimer, nephew of the founder of Anglo American, Greg Mills, director of Brenthurst Foundation, Moses Khanyile, member of the Board of Armscor, and Olusegun Obasanjo, former president of Nigeria.
The agreement was to have Hichilema reduce mining royalties for foreign companies at the expense of the Zambians.
Photo evidence can prove that Hichilema has been dealing with these businessmen and was ready to auction the Zambian mines to further enrich himself and his founders.
Hichilema on several occasions was flown to Oppenheimer family’s luxurious Tswalu game reserve in the Northern Cape, South Africa. In a series of meetings run by former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo (who also chairs Brenthurst Foundation), sought to bring together a secret alliance of Hichilema and Rupiah Banda to ensure President Edgar Lungu did not win the elections.
However former president Banda refused to take part in the conspiracy but Oppenheimer family and their partners pledged to support Hichilema in his bid for presidency.
Hichilema has always upheld the interests of foreign corporations at the expense of the people of Zambia and it is this link that businessmen like Obasanjo want to exploit.
So it should not surprise Zambians that Obasanjo is quick to want to fan lawlessness that has been exhibited by his potential partner Hakainde Hichilema.
It would be also important to point out that the integrity of Obasanjo has a few question marks as he never supported the democratic election of Muhammad Buhari or Goodluck Jonathan yet he wants to speak about Zambia’s democracy.
The will of the people supersedes financial pockets and has been proved when President Lungu, Buhari and Jonathan ‘walloped’ the brief case carrying politicians.
However, we know businessmen cannot accept a loss they are looking for ways to make a profit and that is why it should not surprise you to see that Mr Obasanjo would rather promote lawlessness in Zambia.
Obasanjo has zero record of democracy to his name. He has been a board member of the Greig Mills mercenary outfits from Seirra Leone to Liberian and the 2 Congos wars in RDC and Brazzaville. They were behind Foday Sanko wars on diamond greed.
@Cephas Mushanga, do you find it embarrassing the Obasanjo is defending HH?
Do you want the whole world to be silent?
Author you have done a great job. This information is so revealing about the dark corner deals HH involves himself in. I didn’t know all this. Find a way of getting this information to all corners of Zambia. Zambia is not for sale to illegal miners. Publish this information in all the schools in Zambia.
But why is RB the only one carrying a bag at a group photo, am sure he thought this business meeting was about getting allowances, that’s he got disappointed, and came up with this story.
Zambia, like the rest of world needs democracy. We cannot have HH behind the bars just because the 600-plus Zambia Police officers failed in their duty to sweep the road their master was going to use. Whether HH had a meeting with Anglo American or whomever is irrelevant. VIVA HH VIVA UPND VIVA Democracy!
This smells like FAKE NEW !!!! Please ignore this article and save your brain capacity for something important than this story.
Those doubting should ask Nevers Mumba……..he was asked to rally behind HH then, but he refused.
@general Kanene: and the picture, is it fake too????
This cheap PF propanganda wont take PF any where. Lungu has already signed the last chapter of his demise.
If there is any one who went begging for money from fellow dictators it is Lungu.
First he went to borrow money from Mugabe. Then RB introduced him to Nigerian friends who also lend Lungu money. Money was not enough for 2016 elections so Lungu went to ask for more money from Museveni, Kagame and Dos Santos. As I m talking right now these people are demanding for their money.
Lungu paid Mugabe by letting Zambia guarantee Zimbabwe ‘s loan from ADB.Another payment was given to Mugabe through the Maize export whose proceeds are a top secret. Ask ZRA if any payment has been received for maize exported to Zim.
Lungu has also agreed to borrow money for repair of Kariba on…
Lungu paid Mugabe by letting Zambia guarantee Zimbabwe ‘s loan from ADB.Another payment was given to Mugabe through the Maize export whose proceeds are a top secret. Ask ZRA if any payment has been received for maize exported to Zim.
Lungu has also agreed to borrow money for repair of Kariba on behalf of Zim because Zim under Mugabe has -D credit rating because of political risk which Lungu is currently creating for Zambia by arresting HH.
If these allegations are true why not let HH out so he can defend himself.
Warning if HH dies anytime from now then its Lungu who killed him and this will be the begining of an endless war in Zambia.
Some of us will never forget this until his revenge is effected in equal measures.
Dont say I did not warn you?
Cephas Mushanga is Kaiser Zulu ‘s pseudonym . If people want to beleive lies conctated by Amos and Ksiser Zulu the armed robbers thats your fault.
All we know is PF is now scared that people are not happy irrespective of which party they support. I mean the impovrtshed masses in Zambia. The people will rise and defeat Lungu and his minion whether he likes or not.
Lungu and his stooges must br afraid now. All they might live to enjoy all the money they looted from Government.
Mwanya Lungu ang your team.
They will still deny even with pictures exposing their evil did
This article is good as one crafted by a Jesse Ventura disciple of Conspiracy Theory as there is no bit of truth in what the writer would want to make the readership believe! Its not everyone that do not follow what is happening around the world and meetings of interest especially when notable individuals from one’s country are invited! Nice try by Cephas Mushanga and of course a PF zealot, but we’ve got you!
It’s been long senior citizen! Your input is valued. Whilst other bloggers would want to argue the authenticity of the article they should come up with counter articles to support their denials.
It was actually Nevers Mumba who revealed the same story and not RB. This story is very true as our archieves have this story. The writer is spot!
So according to Mushanga, foreign direct investment is bad for Zambia. The major reason Zambia is so far behind other African countries , including Kenya by the way which has no single copper mine, is because of this backward protectionist thinking like that of Mushanga. Running a country is like running a business. We should be prepared to give something if we want to improve the standards of living of our people through decent jobs and infrastructure. No one incarcerated Mr. Lungu for expressing his wishes to lead Zambia and that’s what democracy is all about Mr. Mushanga. It is because of abuse of people’s fundamental rights like in this case, freedom of speech, movement, right to own property that no serious investor will come to Zambia. Look how Rupiah wanted to destroy Finance…
contd. Look how Rupiah wanted to destroy Finance Bank which could have sent hundreds of workers on the street like what he has done to the post. Mathani had every right to support a political party of his choice to the benefit of his business and the people. Rupiah lost power but many Zambians kept their jobs. Do not look for excuses, just RELEASE HH unconditionally.
@Political fimofimo Why indeed is Rupiah carrying a bag? Bushe kuma meeting yamusango ifi do people carry bags?
That meeting was held in broad day light . Anyone interested to know what was discussed can ask for info from the organisation responsible.
Focus now should be on this PF minions under Lungu eho are bankrupting the country while id10ts like Mushanga are cheering then on.
My suspicion is Mushanga is part Lungu s looting team.
If Lungu wants peace he should release HH.
VIVA. UPND
It shocking to read that the author is on about lawlessness!
Kamba threatened violence if UPND wad allowed to hold a rally in Kanyama. The police listened . According to this law life in the name of Mushanga the actions of kennedy Kamba are lawful hey?
If there is any group of people who are lawless its the PF bunch under Lungu.
Lungu s and his stooges days are numbered.
So SAD how myopic people can be – all because you want is to CRUCIFY your enemies.
This is why as AFRICANS, we shall NEVER develop with this kind of mentality – sadly even those who have seen the inside of a classroom behave as if they have never been!!
Everyone is supposed to be protected by the constitution – we should not be at the mercy of some foolish politicians who are only after their survival/preservation at all costs.
Monkey face concentrate on your country of islamists and chiboko girls
Interesting expose!! Sums up his recent unusual behavior. Obasanjo like Sara Longwe have ulterior motives that originate from pressure exerted by their paymasters. Shameful indeed!!
Yes Sarah Longwe is Malawian
2014 sata was still president so how does lungu come in. please read the story and do a bit of research. you are some of the people who believe in that childhood fairtale story of a zambian goal keeper called KAFWANAYO.
And you Wajimona are Zimbabwean
THIS IS TOTAL LIES. IT IS RUPIAH BANDA WHO WENT TO GET MONEY FROM OBASANJO THAT WAS USED TO CAMPAIGN FOR LUNGU. WHY ARE YOU TELLING LIES IN BROAD DAY LIGHT? DO YOU REMEMBER THE PLANE THAT LANDED IN EASTERN PROVINCE WITH MONEY? HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ABOUT MONEY THAT WAS DETAINED IN MALAWI ON ITS ROUTE TO ZAMBIA? THAT IS OBASANJO MONEY. OBASANJO IS A STATESMAN AND IS JUST TELLING YOU TO DO THE RIGHT THING NOT THE MURDEROUS BEHAVIOR THAT YOU ARE SHOWING. WHO IS THIS STUP.ID MUSHANGA ANYWAY? CHECK WHAT TRIBE YOU ARE BEFORE YOU SHOW YOUR TRIBALISM
States man my foot! You might as well call Museveni a statesman. Why even bring tribe argue your point and we shall listen to you.
The only thing that made RB get disappointed about this business meeting, there was no allowances, why was he moving with a bag everywhere, even on a group photo?
Rubbish article
Pipo if you want pipo to believe you just give big provicative headlines, repeat ypur story over a d over again, vary the way it is put but it is still the same story, have many pipo saying the samething publicly and you will have the pipo believing. Propoganda101.
So when obasamjo was paid per diem to state that elections were fair and free as a norm with all observers all over world, pf saw him as a very highly respected man. Now that he has realised that his name might get dented once it is revealed that indeed elections were fraudulently carried out, he has gone on to support hh. The truth of the matter is that the longer hh stays in prison the less support lungu is getting. I wonder who his advisors are. It really seems like there is confusion in this banana republic. The truth is coming out
sata died on 28th october 2014 and that meeting also took place in october2014 to conspire against Lungu meaning that ecl knew that sata was going to die.
oh, HH!!!!!!!!!! you are indeed a bla,t that wishes good for itself at all, now we no how you got rich eh, this time i wish you a hard prison detention than ever with all of your party members. you are going strait to hel!l this time you mo,ron. kolokonbwa!!!!
I FOR SEE THE HATE IN THE PF RISING AND THIS IS DANGEROUS TO OUR NATION AND THIS WILL INCREASED PAIN ON THE TRIBES WHICH FEELS TO THE MINORITY WHO HAS BEEN LEBELED AS THEY WILL NEVER RULE THIS COUNTRY. THEY SHALL FIGHT FOR THIER RIGHTS AND FINALLY WHEN THEY ALL UNITE, THEY SHALL BE A BIG CROWD TO SAY NO AND ENOUGH IS ENOUGH RESULTING INTO NORTH AND SOUTH SUDAN.
WHEN WE LOOK AT DEVELOPMENT, IT IS ALL ONE SIDED, THE CABINET IS ONE SIDED.
KANGANJA IS USED AS A RUBBER STAMP BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT HE IS NOT A ZAMBIAN BUT A MBUNDU FROM ANGOLA WHO HAS THE FIRST AND RELATIVES IN ANGOLA. HE HAS NO CHIEF IN ZAMBIA
Very quick to deny those who don’t agree with Upnd. Sad. Kanganja is not Mbundu but KaLunda of Zambia.
The author lamentably fails to highlight the presence of Rupiah Banda at the same meeting but chooses to highlight HH. Why is RB not circled in the photo?
This a fake story from a fool. Let HH sue this fool, use how he will disappear.
“…..attendees included Jonathan Oppenheimer, nephew of the founder of Anglo American,…..”
Just reading this you know this is fake trash reporting.
What would a dimond dynasty want to do in Zambia with your scrapping copper mines who’s left overs are bring cleaned by Chinese and Indians?????
Zambias potential is in agriculture , there is nothing for the richest dimond cartels or Anglo America. Production costs are too high in Zambia and other cheaper copper producing countries abound.
Ba Nez when revelations like this are done people need to be ashamed. This is tantamount to auctioning the Zambian country. Let me say this, HH would never be president between now and 2021with revelations like this. I said it that these politicians they just need us to authenticate their personal egos. As for the petition Upnd were given chance to be heard in line with the current constitution. Upnd are just loud mouths. Ask yourself, why did your lawyers walk out on Hh in court abandoning Upnd he needed their services most. Am telling you most Zambians do not support this kind of crap. However, a wrong is wrong, it was wrong to teargas Hh. What ZP should have done was to summon him to the police. The action is not supported.
Spaka like lilo. It is obvious from your posting that you have no idea about the relationship between Anglo American Plc and the Oppenheimers and what used to be Debeers. Educate yourself and you probably will understand why they would be interested in the Zambian mineral resources – or are you like the Trump supporters?
Just saying
What mineral resources can attract the Simons cartel to Zambia??
You think if zambians minerals were worth what you think they are worth , the west and deebers would have let the Chinese and Indians buy them at toilet value ???
Dimond cartel
Just saying
Zambia is a bankrupt country with skewed costs of production and hungry jobless masses.
Entrenched corruption and mismangment make even the little mineral wealth we have not enough to cater for the masses.
To the west Zambia is nothing but a drain on their aid funds, to the Indians and Chinese Zambia is a valuable destination for their unemployed and a chance for those unemployed Chinese and Indians to exploit Zambia and send money back to their countries.
Fully agreed. This author is dull and confused PF thug
IWE Obasanjo WHAT DID YOU DO FOR Nigeria, YOU JUST A LOSER…
Not our interesting.
No sane and patriotic Zambian would support any conspiracy against Zambia, however these photos are only evidence of a business meeting and not a secret conspiracy meeting. There is no evidence provided to show that such a conspiracy MEETING took place. And if it did and RB refused to take part why did he not tell the Zambian people himself. Why has he not renounced his friendship with them publicly considering the conspiracy. This is truly fake news and should not be taken seriously.
OCT2014 SATA WAS STILL PRESIDENT
Fake….propaganda. Publish the minutes of dream. This is a dead story.
Write a call out and arrest a culprit. Kaunda arrested people for treason after getting enough proven evidence. Chiluba arrested captain solo after he himself proved in the airwaves. How many roads leads to the palace in mongu?
in October 2014, His Excellence President Edgar Lungu had not even become the PF candidate for the for 2015 by elections let alone the Acting President but the article says “in October 2014 a Brenthurst Conspiracy was hatched, this conspiracy was a conglomerate of mining businessmen who wanted to rid off President Edgar Lungu and usher in fellow businessman Hakainde Hichilema.” THIS ARTICLE IS FAKE and only based on insinuations.
Very chilling and explains Guy Scott connection
What have you ” Ndanje Khakis” seen in this article that connects Guy Scot to what? its important that we engage in rational discourse if this country is to move forward. And what is Chilling when the author has not provided any credible evidence to prove his assertions.
Are you spokesman?
This a lie,when you spoke of a meeting I thought it involved five people whose name you mentioned,now you showing us a picture of hundreds of people.so they were all discussing how to suppport HH?stop your nonsense
If you have attended a lot of conferences and seminars you would know that there are a lot of side meetings. It is the side meetings that are more intense than the main meeting.
HH may have any wrongs ba Mushanga but he has never been in Government. RB has a record for Zambia and we all know why he was shamefully removed from power coz of corruption and we again know what is President Lungu is abusing power. In summary Mushanga don’t think people don’t what is happening evil does not prevail over good the so called your leaders you are today worshipping today cause probably you have some connections are going to account for their actions its just the matter of time and God is watching and people,s silence does not mean they subscribe to the happenings in Zambia today. Today Ba Mushanga its HH and you are busy celebrating but tommorow it will be you.
Obasanjo is absolutely correct when he says the government should adhere to the rule of law when dealing with HH. The video evidence is there for all to see, HH broke the Law so the government is adhering to the rule of law by arresting him. In fact he should commend the government for swiftly dealing with him in that manner to uphold the rule of law. We don’t want Zambia to turn into a lawlessness society, this is what’s brought about war and divisions in other countries. HH has eroded the democratic principals of Zambia. The opposition no longer provides checks and balances instead they opt to run parallel governments and act as detractors to development.
So why is the author putting blame on Obasanjo?
The police is not independent at all. It’s partisan and an embarrassing situation. How does the whole IG call state house to report even laughing that we shall keep him behind bars! Thank you for leaking the recording . Our country is in a mess and I don’t even support Upnd or pf I’m Zambian crying for my country.
@ Cephas Mushanga you cannot jump to such conclusions from a group photograph showing 50 individuals. Why doesn’t the author go on to explain the conspiracy roles played by the rest of the people in the picture?
Chandard we need more pipo to cry for their country
Comment:
A timely and quite revealing expose`!
Obasanjo is not in any way supporting HH.The US Embassy and EU said the same thing-urging Govnt to adhere to the rule of law when dealing with HH.this does not mean they said “free HH”,No.it simply means observe human rights when dealing with HH,let the law takes its course,i.e.give him a fair trial,let courts clear or if found wanting let HH be convicted.THIS IS WHAT OBASANJO AND OTHERS ARE SAYING AND NOT THAT RELEASE OR FREE HH!!adhering to rule of law can also mean we are all innocent until the court find us guilty.OBASANJO,US EMBASSY,EU,ETC CANT SUPPORT LAWLESSNESS.ALMOST ALL PEOPLE HAVE BLAMED WHAT HH DID IN MONGU.SO NOW LET THE LAW TAKE ITS COURSE!!!
@Njimbu, you are wrong, he is are talking about breaking into his property using hundreds of policcemen, tear gassing him and his family, beating up his workers and denying his party permits to hold meetings and other unfounded accusations.
There is no democracy hh infringed on all he is doing is to ask for his constitutional rights. If PF has nothing to hide and won convincingly as they claim they should have allowed the petition to be heard. simple and straight forward.
Interesting things happening in our christian nation. We don’t practice what we preach. So sad. The flag in my home is flying at half mast
Ati photo, – “Mills with H.H”
Only a Brain dead, non analytical thinking P.F type Cadre would fail to see the image of Mills was taken indoors, & H.H, outdoors with a blue sky, & put together like a toddlers jigsaw puzzle.
When P.F Cadres like Mushanga, translation = (a cigarette stick), fail to even do a simple counerfiet job of photoshopping, to properly dupe its Stone age Cadres, it shows you the mediocrity within the Visionless inept P.F, which begins right from the top in Plot 1.
THE ONLY THING KA MUSHANGA WILL GIVE YOU IS CANCER, & NOTHING GOOD COMES OUT OF MUSHANGA OR P.F!!
For this CR@P Mushanga will be paid lots of Taxpayers U$Dollars, whilst Civil servants languish without pay, hospitals have no medication’s, & washed away bridges, & roads go unrepaired.
HOWEVER ZAMBIANS DESREVE THIS TYPE OF LEADERSHIP, AS THEY DEFEND SUCH 5TUPIDITY TO THE HILT.
I told you, Lungu is rubbish and so is HH, RB and all you cadres. I will let all you id10ts continue to fight. I will be Zambia’s Savior hang in there.
Actually this is good, some people in our country don’t understand. May be in this way they will understand the evil behind some leaders. Please author continue this work.
THERE IS NO LUNDA NAME CALLED KANGANJA IN ZAMBIA ESPECIALLY NW. I AM A LUNDA AND MBUNDA, MY MOTHER IS LUVALE FROM NORHWTESTERN PROVINCE.
THE KANGAMJA ARE MBUNDU FROM ANGOLA WHO CAME IN ZAMBIA DURING WARS. KANGANJA CAME IN ZAMBIA AS A REFUGEE AND HIS PARENTS ONCE LIVED IN LWATEMBO RESTLEMENTS DURING KAUNDA TIME AND LATER FOUND HIMSELF IN MAHEBA.
THOSE THAT ARE SAYING HE IS KALUNDA MAYBE HE IS A LUNDA FROM LUAPULA KWA MWATA KAZEMBE OR LUNDA FROM MUPEZENI
He was born in Zambia, is an African, he is therefore Zambian. Obama’s father was Kenyan, but the man became the US president.
Please slap the bugger with treason, and convict him. That way, we can get back to serious business of developing the country without having to think about the under 5. Interestingly, lets see how fat albert manages the party with all the vultures around him!!
That picture speaks more than a thousand words. Multiply it by another thousand.
In America if you run and hide the police shoot to kill.In Zambia you are tear gassed compare the two and who speaks about the rule of law.HH should have just come out in a dignified manner no one was out to kill him his actions lead to this why hide in a bunker what was he afraid of remember the Ivorian president was hounded out of his bunker in an unseremonious manner because he was hiding plus his other accusations.In future just. surrender muchinshi muchinshi that0 is how you humiliate your opponents.
Cephas Mushanga, you are a dog and you stink your grandmother’s pus.sey. You piece of SH.it.
He must be talking to Kabila and not Zambia!
Under Five Clinic Hazaluza Hagain!
Obasanjo a failure you did nothing about the Niger delta conflict in your country Nigeria and its still going on, you have done done nothing about the 300 girls abducted 3 years ago. what can Zambia learn from such a failure? Keep your failures to yourself and your country. Zambians will solve their problems, we don’t need external advisers like you who have done thing in championing the rule of law. Remember you once ousted a legitimate, elected government from power through military actions. Only those born yesterday can trust you. HH is Zambian and no Zambian would like him die he is son of the Zambian soil. Zambians will sort out their problems within our boundaries.
It’s these unfortunate and unnecessary conspiracy theories that are proving to be unhelpful to this continent much less Zambia as a nation. Because they tend to basically betray a lack of contextualised view of the problems and therefore missing the solution altogether. Let’s elaborate.
Currently, Zambia is indebted, back to the debt crisis it had to beg itself out of less than 2 decades ago. Chief cause of this was irresponsible borrowing. After which was followed by basically, pilferage of the borrowed funds
The borrowing wasn’t done at the instigation of foreigners. No local leaders and their complicit followers were totally responsible. The callous spending of those funds had no foreigner as the initiator, it was locals who schemed to loot the coffers.
As a result, the excess borrowing, led to wasteful and criminal spending by a few. This gave way to a huge debt burden that has to carter for repayment of the borrowed funds
This eventually entails that Zambians will be poorer as result of accruing this huge debt. And this debt hadn’t brought corresponding development, as part of it was pilfered by various kleptocrats. Hence in this case, Zambians would have been impoverished by their fellow citizens, yet they wouldn’t see it that way. They would rather scapegoat everything by looking for a white man to point the finger at.
No white man involved at all.
However, most poverty in Zambia will be blamed on a shadowy foreign conspiracy of sinister investors. If a foreigner, especially white, speaks in what seems like disagreeing with how things are done, they are painted as the nation’s enemy and accused of wanting to come in and loot. Meanwhile the real black African, Zambian looters are left, unfettered.
All because of the unrestrained tendancy to dive into sensational and hollow conspiracies like the one above. Leading to believing outright lies and from there, prescribing solutions that are totally alien to the problems they intend to fix.
Just accept that Africa has awakened from slumber and can not accept intimidation of the opposition and Dictatorship at large.
U fools u can’t see dat the picture for HH and Greg z fake??? U are doomed…..
Please give more information so that we make sound judgement
wow…I thought Id read all the bullsh!t conspiracy theory reports about HH now there is this new one.
What I country I come from were the president is so focused on silencing critics instead of focusing on developing the nation and improving peoples lives. The country is about just its worst since independence and yet the president is talking abut HH and Post news paper and all this crap. at what point is he going to talk about getting us out of junk status, reducing our Micheal Sata infused dept, getting us better quality fuel, long term solution on Zesco power etc….. It almost feels like a curse that after a brilliant Mwanawasa we have been subjected to a series of totally useless presidents. Why us? what did we do to deserve this Lungu after terrible leadership from Sata and Banda.
