Zambia does not belong to any tribe or region – Siavonga MP

Share

Siavonga Constituency UPND Member of Parliament Darius Mulunda has urged people in leadership to realize that Zambia does not belong to any particular tribe or region.

Mr. Mulunda says the current happenings in the country suggest that Zambia belongs to few individuals who are able to do injustices against other people they differ on political ideologies.

The Siavonga Lawmaker says the current government should have been in forefront of upholding Christian values especially that it even created the Ministry of Religious and National Guidance.

And Mr. Mulunda has expressed displeasure that suspended UPND MPs are even denied access to visit incarcerated UPND Leader Hakainde Hichilema in prison.

Meanwhile Mr. Mulunda has alleged that government has failed to uplift the living standard of people because it has emptied the treasury.

  1. This man is a lemon

    That type of thinking is adverse to anyone with a sane brain

    President Lungu is the legally legitimately elected president.

    The country is in his palm of his hands, yes it doesn’t belong to him but it is within his execution of duties which he is doing very well if you ask anyone who thinks coherently like me

    I have a PhD

    Thanks

    • FULL Video Samuel Doe Assassination African Leaders This Is A Reminder… by Dainfamous: 10:27pm On Jul 27, 2012
      Question! where did you Samuel Doe stash Liberian money? And his ear is already cutting off…, when will our leaders learn?

    • Well Samuel Doe was a dictator and a specialist in human rigths infrigments. So I can´t say “I am sorry” for him. He did the same thing to his predecesor William Tolbert in 1980?

    • Samuel Doe did a lot of wrong things, he killed a lot of people. he just tested his own poison. this can serve as good example for the African leaders who still think they kill and get away with it. just like Chag*a. they are all shiit?

    • Lungu will suffer a worse fate than Samuel Doe. If Lungu cannot let us live in peace then there will be no peace in Zambia for Lungu and his supporters. It is irrelevant that nobody wins after a civil war because the causers will also share in the pain. PF and Lungu should feel the pain of their actions.

    • SO, MPs SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN DISCIPLINED OR WHAT? YOU CAN’T ALLOW ANARCH IN PARLIAMENT AMONGST THE SO CALLED LAW MAKERS WHO ARE IN FACT LAW BRAKERS. WHO IS GOING TO ACCEPT A LAW MADE BY LAW BRAKERS? AFTER ALL IT IS UPND MEMBERS WHO THINK ZAMBIA BELONGS TO THEM MORE THAN ANY OTHER REGION OR TRIBE.

    • Insulting the president, Judges and the Speaker of parliament and committing a crime is not differing on “political ideologies.”

  2. This continent is about a couple of centuries away from the rest of the world in thought process and democratic ideals.?

  3. @Mushota: I am sure you are not normal. There is nothing wrong to what Mr. Mulunda has said. Zambia is not for One Tribe but for all of us. I am not a Tonga but from Mbala (Umumambwe or Lungu) The One Zambia One Nation covers every thing. If a UPND says something you criticize. You need deliverance, your heart is full of hatred. Please understand one thing Judgment is soon coming and we shall see who is who. Money will never save you, neither position in the Government or Private sector, but you love for others matters most. Be a peace maker.

    • Yes mushota a big fat green house fly lunshi in your mama’s dialect, nzinini in tonga always thinks it’s perfectly normal to feed on bog.

  4. Zambia does not belong to any tribe or region but to all tribes and regions. The more reason why people should not form parties as vehicles for taking a person from one tribe to be President. For, the moment many Zambians realise this, it becomes difficult for such a party to govern. UPND would do well to adopt an open policy by making it very clear to all Zambians that any Zambian from any tribe and region can actually take over the reigns of the party and use it as a platform for advancing his presidential ambitions. But as things stand today, UPND is becoming even more unattractive to many Zambians as it is being seen as a party meant to make a Tonga President. MMD made Chiluba from Luapula, Mwanawasa from Copperbelt and Banda from the East to be President.

    • PF made Sata from Muchinga and now Lungu to be President of the party and Zambia. UPND, on the other hand, made Mazoka and HH both from Southern Province to be party presidents. Is this not what makes UPND to be unattractive to many Zambians and hence not assume the leadership of the country???

    • Which upAndOWN does not believe.They have forgotten that they are the ones who started it by insisting that it’s their turn to rule the country.How can you want if the voters do not want you because of your regional outbursts.You even created a slogan,”bantustan for life.” What does that entail?It simply means Zambia belongs to you only. T-shirts were made to promote this slogan.But if you go to the grassroots, they don’t agree with you selfish leaders who are advocating regionalism

  5. Rubbish Rantings…very inferior statement. It does not go like this man….just because you are UPND then you think you are at liberty to misbehave?? Oh no man, come to your senses please. Shame shame.

  6. When UPND was being invited for prayers, they were busy pouring scorn. Today they are talking about Christian values. So, it takes the long arm of the law to visit the party for this realization to occur?

    • Amapepo yenu lead by hypocrites the same prayers are just bringing a curse upon the nation, i would also not go if the person calling for prayers is the devil himself

    • Prayers for what when the causer of the problems wants prayers? Why can’t PF stop their evil ways so that people do not have to pay? Lungu is the devil incarnate, an evil hearted tyrant.

  7. What prayers you hypocrite. I am sure even the sole called pastors that used to conduct those prayers are very disappointed. Don’t pay attention to anything Mushota (sole called) says. Her thing is itching. It makes her rant.

  8. Very good heading, and if it’s coming out without any prejudice or malice can take our nation to another level.
    But my question to the lawmaker is, why is it that, it’s only a region that seems to be obsessed with the going ons. What comes to your mind when particular individuals point out that it’s time for a particular individual from a particular tribe to rule. Your way of fighting defeats the caption of your comment. Fight in the manner, that will make all Zambians feel a sense of belonging to your fight. Nevertheless, you maybe fighting a losing battle if that’s your game plan.

  9. We are not a monarchy where you are placed in a succession line, any Zambian is free to vote for any person suitable to rule. So the issue of Zambia belonging to few individuals doesn’t exist but as long as you want tribe recognition it will never happen in Zambia. If wise and suitable individuals are coming from one or two or three tribes there is nothing we can do but to vote for such individuals. We will not allow tribes which form empires in institutions.

  10. Musonda it’s not one region Mambala. Fetch and check the electoral map (blue Vs red). It’s half of Zambia. That’s the problem with PF propaganda; you keep saying it’s one region or tribe. How many seats did PF get in Western, NWP, Central and CB Rural? How many councils across the country are under UPND? Talkl with facts.

  11. This is the thinking of all upnd followers and leaders.they only think about tribe.Tribalism is in their blood.
    Who told this Mulunda that the speaker( who is lozi) suspended 48 upnd mps because of their tribe?or is hh in mukubeko because of his tribe?very shallow thinking indeed.THIS IS WHY I SAY UPND IS IN POLITICS TO PROMOTE TRIBAL CIVIL WAR!!!THIS PARTY IS BENT ON TRIBAL FIGHTS.ALL THEY SEE IN ANYTHING DONE BY GOVNT IS TRIBE.in short,this man is saying “Zambia does not belong to Northerners or Easterners”.THIS IS WHAT HE WANTED TO SAY!!but bo Mulunda,is it northerners or easterners who told 48 upnd mps to walk out of parliament?are they the ones who told hh to block presidential motorcade in mongu?SOME PEOPLE ARE CURSED!!KEEP ON PROMOTING TRIBALISM AND YOU WILL SEE IF YOUR TONGA…

    • correction, the speaker is not Lozi find out his correct tribe.But he is a son of a very prominent educationist, the late Mr. Andrew Matibini.Fatherly Principal at Malcolm Moffat Teacher Training College in the 1970s. He was among the likes of Mr.Kaweche Banda, Mr.Wilbroad B, Chilangwa- among the dedicated and committed educationists of Zambia.They never Knew tribes but regard everyone as equal and children of God

  12. “It’s time for tribe X to rule Zambia” – is a bad statement and unZambian, all tribes in Zambia are equal no matter their small or big population, but they need to produce a candidate who will win the hearts of the people in any party. One tribe in Zambia want to rule at all cost, why? they want recognition and to suppress other tribes. What about the other 71 tribes if they go for same what will happen to mother Zambia? chaos, ethnic violence and that is the danger with lesser tribes they always want recognition.

  13. RB, KK and Chiluba divided this country on tribal lines… ECL is a copy of the old regime. Zambians are bigger than any President.

    • lie, if anything RB eased the tension fat John left.Without KK, the United Zambia you are enjoying was not going to be there.He, together with the Winas, Kapwepwe, Kamanga, Matoka, Sipalo, Bulawayo, Mudenda Mainza Chona, to mention a few united this nation under very difficult conditions.The colonial government divided the country cakuti cakuti land.We nearly witnessed a civil war when on politician broke away from UNIP, after being fired for misuse of the office.This was in 1969.It was tense, we were moving in fear all the time.But Kaunda with the leaders mentioned earlier on unted and stopped this to happen.Go to the archives and read more about this especially the old, old newspaper of 60s and 70s.

  14. Just watch the space..God is about to banish all the devils..we now know who a satanist is between the incarcerated and the leadeing..God answers prayers..HH will soon be freee

  15. When Anderson Mazoka (MHSRIP) died, Ackson Sejani said, “Only a Tonga will succeed a Tonga.” and indeed, Sakwiba Sikota who was Vice President of UPND at that time was not allowed to take over the presidency. A Tonga who was settled in South Africa was called to take over from a Tonga.

    In 2015,Some old man who practiced politics of the belly said, “It is now time for Tongas to rule. After that we will give presidency to the Lozis and then to the Kaondes and later give it back to the Bembas” What does this mean? Surely there is no tribe in Zambia that is as selfish as Tongas. We actually now know that they are busy building empires in institutions to prepare for 2021. Unfortunately the government system is fully aware of this and you will not succeed. Your empires are being…

    • Exactly,mudumbu wane.Sakwiba was chased out like I don’t know.He was supposed to the be president of this party.I can’t even understand why bashinono went back to eat the vomit.Lubinda left it due to this segregation!!Limbula isansa apo talilakosa, crush these empires and who is allowing this to happen!!

  16. Your empires are being dismantled and by 2019 they will have ceased to exist. Just sober up and be part of Zambia

  17. What’s wrong with these bantustan trialists. They have a dangerous inferiority complex. If you don’t want to vote for others why should they vote for you. Democracy is about numbers and for as long as you remain tribal, forget about State house

  18. PhD for Philosophical Disabled , Remember the saying “Still water runs deep”. There is a Zambian saying “TOO MUCH EXCITEMENT BREEDS DISAPPOINTMENT.
