PF Deputy Spokesperson Mumbi Phiri says as a party, the PF is perturbed at how the DA and EFF have allowed themselves to be toiled by the whims of a disgruntled opposition who want to undermine the will of the Zambian people.

THE PATRIOTIC FRONT DEPUTY GENERAL SECRETARY ADOPTS ANC YOUTH LEAGUE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE MEMBER COMRADE SIFISO MSTWENI’S STATEMENT AS SHE ADVISES THE SOUTH AFRICAN OPPOSITION DA AND EFF AGAINST ILL-ADVISED COMMENTS ON ISSUES BEFORE THE ZAMBIAN COURTS
The Patriotic Front is disappointed by the South African DA and EFF Party’s inability to comprehend how the Zambian justice system works before issuing out unpalatable remarks against Zambia’s duly elected President His Excellency Edgar Chagwa Lungu. As a party we are perturbed at how the DA and EFF have allowed themselves to be toiled by the whims of a disgruntled opposition who want to undermine the will of the Zambian people.
The Opposition UPND has shown recklessness in their failure to explain simple civics to their opposition counterparts in South Africa. The opposition UPND are power hungry perpetual failures whose appetite for unlawful behaviour has been condemned by a cross section of civil society, traditional leaders, Church leaders and Zambians at large.
Let me also place on record that I have adopted ANC Youth League National Executive Member Sifiso Mtsweni as my own, and thank him for his support to Mother Zambia. Reactionary forces from other countries aligned to Opposition UPND are misrepresenting Zambia. Sadly we have thugs masquerading as leaders of a named Opposition Party, which seeks to see anarchy in Zambia to the extent of seeking to collide with the Presidential motorcade. Every meaningful friend of Zambia must condemn such provocative, barbaric and thuggish acts!
The Patriotic Front on the other hand is a duly elected, law abiding, unifying political party that enjoys massive support from the Zambian people. Our people respects the rule of law and wishes to commend His Excellency the President of Zambia Mr Edgar Chagwa Lungu for defending the rule of law by not interfering in Court Cases. Attempts by the Opposition UPND and their misguided allies across the borders are an exercise in futility.
We strongly advise the DA and EFF to take a cue from the various reputable international bodies that monitored the Zambian elections and deemed them free and fair. They must also learn from credible international institutions such as the British High Commissioner Fergus Cochrane Dyet who condemned the provocative nature of HH and his minions in Mongu where they shamelessly attempted to undermine the Zambian government.
Let me commend the civil society, the international organisations and foreign Governments that have rendered solidarity to his Excellency President Edgar Chagwa Lungu.
I would like to lastly want to announce that the Party will also write to former Copperbelt Minister Hon Mwenya Musenge to show cause why he should not be disciplined by the Party for his unwarranted statements in the media, considering that he is a senior member of the party familiar with the channels of communication.
I thank You!
Hon. Mumbi Phiri
Deputy Secretary General
Patriotic Front
Hon.Mumbi Phiri,just ignore those one man opposition parties of South Africa.PF deals with the ruling ANC party which has support from majority South Africans.
HH asked for that in Mongu so now he must dance to his tune in Chimbokaila.
People must answer this simple question “if HH goes unpunished for blocking presidential motorcade,then how many Zambians will be paving way for the presidential motorcade in future?”NOBODY.then “is that the Zambia you need with no respect for the office of the president?”.BIG NO!!
THEN COURTS MUST DO THE RIGHT THING IN HH’S MONGU CASE TO AVOID SUCH NONSENSE IN THE FUTURE-SIMPLE!!
The Catholic Bishops through their pastoral letter have given a comprehensive assessment of how the Judiciary in Zambia works…It is an open secret that the Judiciary have let the country down by failing to stand up to political manipulation and corruption. How can one explain the failure of the Constitutional Court to hear and exhaustively conclude a presidential petition? We reiterate what we said before: “For some time now, there has been a persistent discourse on the state of the judiciary in Zambia with respect to its independence and impartiality. This situation has undermined public confidence in this institution. There is need to restore confidence in this important arm of Government. There are also many unresolved questions of public interest that have been left hanging and…
Did you that ANC is in big mess in south Africa,,, mumbi phiri does even know that, UNIP is a friend of ANC not PF
Well said Mumbi
Meanwhile the top man in ANC (Zuma) today failed to address the workers after being booed so much. He was forced to leave the podium. That’s the party someone wants to make us believe is doing well. We are not in the UNIP era. We are now exposed.
Zuma can’t even address workers on may day, he was booed and wisked from the podium, that’s pf’s friend and the other one very old, probably in some Asian country having his….. Checked, come on pf give us a break and spare us from your pile of bad breath from your mouths. Yikes!
Mumbi Phiri. What an example to women. Very shameful and embrassing. Madam please don’t try defend wrong thing. Everyone knows Lungu did not win on a clean slate. He manipulated the system and is scared of the petition. Let your Lungu go and prove himself in court instead of arresting people on fake charges. South African and the whole continent at large know what happened.
Those are parties that will NEVER form Governwment.
Mumbi should ignore them. Those are worthless parties like UPND
Thanks
BB2014,16
Is South African going to charge those who booed zuma from the podium with treason? Id iot njimbu you compare sh*tty Zambian democracy with South African democracy.
Gbm is speaking from hiding. Ati: am not a coward.
Kkkkkkkkkkk.
Upendi is a terror group setting building ablave thats why gbm went into excile
DA and EFF will rule sa in 2075 so just ignore their ranting s
Madam, Kindly enjoy the tempo of peace in Zambia and apply some temperament in politicking. What is stunning though is the fact that UPND has found comfort in the solidarity of eccentric characters with emotions governed minds. Out of all parties only to be associated with a Boers’ party and Malema. Why is UPND so obsessed with such miscreants?
Just ignore this woman, she cannot even reacll that perpetual failures means (PF), and not UPND… Ignore her as she can utter anything when she is feeling so h0rny, and the whole time she is thinking of ukulengela ukulengela muli ba GBM…pathetic M!LF!
Did he block it or was overtaken? moreover was he driving the vehicle? anyway if he did was that treason? we are very dull in Zambia we support politics like premier league football ati MAN U for life
1.1 IGNORE BA CATOLICA, THEY ARE ALWAYS IN POLITICS AND FORGETTING THE BIBLE. WHAT THEY HAVE MASTERED IS POLITICS. ONE WONDERS WHAT BA CATOLICA IN ZAMBIA STAND FOR- LAWLESSNESS OR LAWFULLNESS? TRY TO OBSTRUCT THEIR POPE IN VATICAN AND SEE IF YOU CAN COME OUT LIVE. IF THEIR POPE MUST BE RESPECTED- WHAT OF THE PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA?
Hon. Mumbi Phiri?
@Peter, you may be too ensconced in your English pub to realise that Mumbwe Fhili wears a rosary and Catholic Women’s League chitenges. She is the one who drabs Lungu to Catholic Churches where he dances with total abandon energy time a hymn is sunny or bells sounded during Eucharist. Lungu and Mumbwe have put themselves under the eye of the church and are answerable to it even though Lungu is Daesh.

I@Njimbu, you must be a joker and a clown! You call the DA and the EFF small Parties in South Africa? You need your brain to be checked by a psychologist.
There are also many unresolved questions of public interest that have been left hanging and unanswered by the Executive.”Where is the Judiciary to call the Executive to attention?
Mumbi doesn’t want anyone to have a view on any matter except hers and PF. Zambians are docile but they know injustice.
How dare she calls commando style raid on political opponent unarmed family without a warrant of arrest as justice. She is a pile of rotten fish and mangoes. Yikes.
Popi Njimbu, the best you can do is keep your stinking mouth completely shut, than allowing your dirty mouth vomit rubbish worse than Mumbi’s unbrushed mouth’s scent. Are you aware that ANC like UNIP have had their miserable days numbered? Do they not support the corrupt stupid and uneducated Zuma even when evidence of corrupt activities are clear for all serious SA’s to see?
It is SAs interest to condemn dictatorships in Africa.. ..they don’t want another Zimbabwe with millions of refugees pouring over their boarders.. ..already zambians claiming asylum in S.A. are at record highs according to the Zambian HC.
The mere fact the British HC took time to comment on HH and meet membe shows this is not an internal issue any more.
Hint: if the UK HC had said that is an internal Zambian matter for GRZ then lungu had the green light.
The UK HC even mentioned the UK being on the IMF board and they turn Zambia down for a loan and the kaponyas still think the UK supports their crackdown on democracy ???
Keep dreaming…..you not arresting membe after your fake warrant for his political arrest is not enough…..
Which Zambians are seeking asylum in RSA?? As far as I can remember, even the friends I was with in college that migrated to RSA are now returning to invest and run businesses here in Zambia, so who is seeking asylum??? Maybe those Tonga cowards who perpetrated the Namwala violence?? Then you think m’membe’s arrest warrant is fake? You thought the same with hh, it is only time, he will face the law as well because he is a criminal…
Someone needs to shut this woman’s rotten mouth.
She is a total biatch, a Catholic whore and a smelly pussi.
A wise politician (and a person) will keep mouth shut when nothing to defend. Mumbi, sooner than later there will be a government change, where will you hide then?
PF cannot win even with rigged elections next election, neVer means NeVeR.
Mumbi Phiri is the Vote Thief caught by Mwaliteta and others with fake Ballot Papers rigging the 2016 Election. Lungu is blocking the Petition Hearing becoz the Rigging would reveal how the PF rigged the Election. What was the Ugandan Emmanuel Chavula doing in the ECZ Server Room? COSATU, DA ,EFF and other Opposition Parties in South Africa should demonstrate in Durban should Chakolwa Lungu attend the World Economic Forum. # Free HH and let the Petition be heard in Court.
She is a pile of bad breath and rotten eggs. Yikes.
MUmbi you silly sIut.shut that ugly mouth of yours
Bauzee! Well put Mumbi unfortunately there are group that believes in twisting facts and even after knowing so they end up in believing their lies….. To be honest to date they have failed to prove how their votes were stolen even after availing them their constitutional right to petition they failed lamentably.
Anyway their just of bunch of time waister. Kwamana
Ubushilu bwakwa Mumbi will not surprise me because she wakes up drunk pupy puffs and talks rabbish
The job description of every opposition party is to oppose the party in power and it’s government. However, I would have supported HH if he was arrested for revelling corruption done by members of parliament. The man HH is too dull that he can’t even capitalise on some of the issues revealed by the media with regard to Chishimba Kambwili those mansions he has built using stolen money and land. This could have helped him to win copperbelt province because once you destroy kambwili u are done with Cb.
Seriously HH is a thieve who has stolen and robbed copperbelt province and so he can’t challenge kambwili. These two are the same.
EFF and DA only make sense to people who can’t remember history. EFF flights ANC because they were chased and that is anger which has nothing to do with…
Pathetic analysis! Do you think if you PF minions had evidence of what you claim you would have let HH roam Zambia for 6 years without killing him if you can attempt to kill him for a non-incident on the road to Limulunga?
Lungu is putting his ka tiny penis inside this ugly woman’s huge and loose hole. That is why she can talk anyhow and thinks she is something.
So Nez have your comments added an inch to your hair. Well not surprised insults flow freely from the mouth of the upnd president,his vice as well as his followers.
I don’t see how those insults will secure bail for your beloved brother.
@Mutinta,you can laugh and gloat at the humiliation of HH. But your time too is coming. This too shall come to pass.
Your evil plan is to find HH guilty using rotten judiciary & let Lungu pardon him in exchange for recognition. Then lungu will score points & go for an illegal 3rd Term. HH is principled, he’ll never bow down to your golden statue, lungu.
EFF & DA know that their democracy is not primitive as to wish someone to be sentenced to DEATH over a minor traffic offence.
With a brutal primitive police force & rotten corrupt judiciary & a st!nky ECZ your PF have managed to fraudulently remain in Govt. You scramble for recognition, that’s why you wish HH will bow down to your lungu.
Just like Unip & MMD came & went, so will PF. There’s no wamu-yayaya in Zambian politics. Go ask KK or RB. You’ll answer for your transgressions soon.

Mwamba Emmanuel through pf mouth piece LT was bragging yesterday that chagwa has been invited to sasafrika by zuma, while zuma is been booed left, right and center, hope when someone goes to South Africa he won’t give him ideas of charging those workers who booed zuma with treason.
So why does HH and UPND behave as if PF will be in power for ever? Why cant they wait for their time if it will ever come? Why do they want to grab power by force without due regard to people’s choice? Poor souls!!!
Mumbi Phiri you are a treacherous woman who knows the truth that PF never won 2016 elections. You were one of them who struggled with Mwaliteta to grab ballot papers at city Airport. Since when did you work at ECZ? Just say you are enjoying stealing tax paye’s money. Your statements are like poison. Your days are numbered mukalila one day.
At first when HH was arrested, i felt sorry for Mrs Mutinta Hichilema,but after i saw her arrogance and lies,i concluded that she is just like any tonga who supports upnd based on tribe!!to any upnd member,HH is a saint.he does not make mistakes.but is this normal thinking?
I have been voting for PF since 2006,but when PF leaders do wrong things,we blame them.for upnd,its a taboo to blame HH.
Honestly,can a normal person support HH’s bad behaviour in Mongu?or the brutal way ZP acted at HH’s house?guys we must be serious in life.if HH blocked the presidential motorcade in any western country,today he would be history.THIS IS THE GOSPEL TRUTH AND NO TWO WAYS ABOUT IT!!
DOGS KEEP ON BUCKING AND LOOK AT YOUR NOSE POINTERS. LUNGU ALILWALA ICIPUMPUTA NO WONDER HE LEVAES IN FEAR EVERY DAY AS AS HIS FOLLOWERS
He will be released as a convict.
Peace be upon Zambia.
True
Two intellectual wankers are forgetting that we are already under “rule” of CONVICTED EMBEZZLER
Those parties are now running all of South Africa’s big cities and come 2019 they are forming government in SA. So be PF ba fi.kala no tu.nyo twenu tu Mumbi Phiris ans Mushotanyokola, beware.
Up and down party leaders do not know how to read the constitution and they are the ones misleading majority of the illiterate Zambians esp in Southern, Western and NWP. 14 days is just that…. Given an exam of 3 hours and u want to do it in 8 hours setting Your Own conditions,can you pass ?
A court is not like an exam room. Judges are not like invigilators who just watch the stopwatch. Judges are supposed to manage their courts so that they can hear the evidence and counter arguments and deliver a verdict, all within the set time. The PF Kangaroo Court judges failed to reach a verdict in 14 days.
Mumbi Mumbi, your boyfriend Chakolwa Jamerson told us that he banned all P Fools from commenting on this case. Has he given you new instructions in the bedroom after you serviced him?
You got it wrong,it is PF not Mumbi.Dont “u” know that UPND lost? Were you not on planet earth?Change your leaders or els yaaaa! Mapenzi aalo bana bokwesu.
How did you forget Choongwa and only remembered Mapenzi who you both murdered?
The crux of the matter is that Up and down party leaders do not know how to read the constitution and they are the ones misleading majority of the illiterate Zambians esp in Southern, Western and NWP. 14 days is just that…. Given an exam of 3 hours and u want to do it in 8 hours setting Your Own conditions,can you pass ?
The UPND Petition was “dismissed” on a 14 day technicality which is illegal at Law. To make matters worse 14 days in terms of the law is 14 working days ending 8th Sept 2016. Concourt has no powers to dismiss the Petition without hearing and determining it. Court was supposed to declare a Winner but they failed to do so. Concourt also forgot that the old Bill of Rights still exist and the High Court administers it and that Petitioners have Rights to be heard in Court. Lungu refused to handover the Presidency to the Speaker of Parliament during the Petition Hearing process. Another illegality.
South Africa cannot comment on Zambia because its citizens kill people and the leadership doesn’t do a think! HH deserves to be locked.
@Njimbu-you are so politically ignorant about the status of DA & EFF. They are not one man parties as you say and as things are looking they might form government soon. Together, the are ruling Tswane (Pretoria), Johannesburg and Nelson Mandela Bay Municipalities. I know you don’t understand the democratic system of S.A. but it’s necessary so that you know the parties are not one party
Njimbu you have let the cat out of the bag by calling her honorable. So there is credence to her political ambitions to become the first female president of zambia. She has alrwady been issuing directives
Who will it be the wily kambwilli or the vitiolic mumbi phiri to battle out the presidency nomination.
Terrible 8 times you have neither confirmed or refuted madam phiri’s political aspirations. Will this be number 9
Mumbi you are very evil. I pray that all the evil arrows you are sending to your enemies should hit you back.By fire by force you should die by your own schemes, may you be severely punished by God in Jesus name. Your tongue is a poison to society.
Ndiye kusila ba PF. Even EFF of all parties knows that what happened in Limulunga far falls short of a treasonable offence! Kaya, the timing of the HH issue was so bad at the time you were hustling for kaloba from IMF! Mutati has to work even harder probably for nothing under the circumstances!
This is PF Rabies! No cure!
What is very worrying is she is listening to uttererances made by ZANUPF and ANC youth legue – very worrying ! Anyone that speaks out against their parties and corruption is an enemy !
it is evil when good people can sit silent and say nothing or praise this evil Pf and its evil cadres like this useless Mumbi Phiri
What every Zambian should know is that HH is no ordinary citizen. He represents half of the Zambian population. No wonder the way he’s been treated has attracted international condemnation. If the PF were the opposition they could have also enjoyed the support of the DA and EFF.These are double standards they are applying.
Those parties are a replica of UPND why worry about them…ignore them our beloved Mumbi Phiri
@Independent voice:is southern,western,n/western ans part of central the half of Zambia?kekekekekekeke you guys in UPND are dreamers and thats why your HH would need a miracle to win general elections.HH’s popularity cannot be determined by counting upnd supporters in bantustan homes or areas.try to mix with people from the North and East who are the majority in Zambia.as long as HH cannot win in Lusaka,CB,Luapula,Northern,Muchinga and Eastern,upnd should as well stop dreaming about the presidency!!HH’S VOTES FROM BANTUSTANS WILL ALWAYS BE A DROP IN THE OCEAN!!!
Besides,a law breaker is a law breaker.in Zambia we dont have two sets of laws,one for those with no following and another for those with many supporters like HH or ECL.are all equal before the law.FOR NOW LETS JUSR ALLOW THE…
What law did HH break? It is the police who failed to protect the President. Even Mumbi Phiri knows this.
MUMBI PHIRI IS A MRS.NOT HONORABLE AS I HAVE SEEN ,WHAT I KNOW IS THAT SHE IS JUST AN ASSISTANT PARTY SECRETARY AND NOT HON .THIS IS THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF ILLITERACY PF MUST TELL THE NATION IF SHE HONARABLE PLEASE
It’s not hard to see why these entities behave undiplomatically. They are not in Power, but are like most opposition awaiting a chance to rule. It seems an organised Continent wide grouping had arisen in Africa, helping each other to shire up their unpalletable ideology.
We the ordinary people all this sophisticated rhetoric is aimed at are not fooled, but there needs to be strong action by legitimate gov’ts in the region to head off these groups. Mostly funded by outside Africa money men to cause mayhem in Africa creating a smokescreen intended to seize power.
Mumbi Phiri is lost. the madness of zambian politics can not be understood by South Africans. In south africa, everyone is intitled to human rights and what happened to HH will never happen here.
Zambian politics is jungle. zambian judiciary is jungle.
Verbal diarrhea as usual. since when did PF follow the Laws?
1. What are you doing about those MPs who stayed on as Ministers and got paid hefty salaries and allowances but were later found to have flauted the laws?
2. If dissolving parliament is constitutional then who can be said to have gone against the constitution and what are the consequences for that person?
3. If the courts ruled and nullified the seats of Nkandu Luo and Margret Mwanakatwe, what are they still doing as Ministers?
4. If the constitution says Speaker of the National Assembly should take over as president while a petition is on-going, who saw this fulfilled? You can talk to kindergarten kids about your Law abiding because they don’t understand what animal law is!
5. Max the gun totting cadre is now a big…
time supplier for some government agencies
6. Kaizer Zulu the former ZSIS Special Operations is a law unto himself, so, which law madam? That or the Zambian Law?
I think PF has taken Zambians for granted.
Patriotic FO***ols
The issue is what would happen if DA or EFF won the next elections in South Africa. How then will PF deal with them. From what I am seeing on the ground ANC has lost popularity and Mr Zuma could not even manage to address citizens during the May 1st Celebration. My advice is that Hon Mumbi Phiri must be very diplomatic in commenting on such issues.
