Some EFZ board members distance themselves from Church Mother bodies

Share

The Evangelical Fellowship of Zambia board says it has distanced itself from the recent joint statement issued by the three Church mother bodies because its Secretariat was sidelined in the process of coming up with the statement.

The statement has however not been signed by EFZ Chairman Paul Mususu who attended the briefing at Kapingila House and his Vice Bishop Fortune Mwiza.

Leaders of the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Council of Churches of Zambia and the Evangelical Fellowship of Zambia last week held a joint media briefing at Kapingila House where a strong statement was issued condemning the PF government for the worsening governance climate in the country.

But in a statement issued this morning, EFZ Board said they do not agree with the statement because the Secretariat headed by its Executive Director was not consulted.

The EFZ Board said it acknowledges the prolonged volatile situation in Zambia before and after the last general election and appealed for calm from Zambia and urging them to engage in serious prayers.

    • A divided church. Wish you did not wash your dirt linen in public. No one asked you to. It’s horrific.

    • The Board chairman can as well claim the same that he was not consulted by issuing this statement since there is not his signature. So this is not going anywhere.

      It is really sad that confusion is also within the churches, and yet people expect churches to provide guidance.

    • The church: any church, if at all Christian, should be able to throw its weight behind justice. That’s what EFZ did. We extolled and praised them for taking such a stand. What now does one make of these others – BOARD MEMBERS – who have decided to “DISTANCE THEMSELVES” from such a noble stand?

    • Those who want to deny can bury their heads in the sand but the evidence is clear that the last election left the country massively divided. The cracks are now showing up even in the body of Christ. God save our nation.

    • Easterners supporting their son, dictator lungu.

      I think for the next 100 years, Zambia should have no easterner. They supported KK & UNIP One-Party dictatorship for 27 years just becoz he’s a nyanja/malawian.

      Now they are at it again, supporting another Dictator lungu, just becoz he’s a nyanja/malawian.

    • The Church Mother bodies and elder statesmen the likes of KK and RB lack integrity and no longer have love for mother Zambia other than living off what they think the country owes them. These should be above partisanship so as to pump some sense into the children now in the political arena! The churches lead a flock of different interests and affiliations thus guidance by the clergy is supposed to bring out in a useful way the wealth of talents to benefit the country while KK and RB having had it at the helm driving the country would do better help steer good governance! Pity that what we have now is all of them falling over themselves in need of crumbs from political leadership promoting inferiority complexes and greed eroding on their leadership legacy!

    • This wako no wako is particularly rampant among the Tonga. That is why we don’t want to vote for them

    • THANKS FOR THE REASON AND TRUE STATEMENTS FROM Ms SILVA AND THE EFC. THE STATEMENT(S) BY THE SO CALLED THREE CHIRCH MOTHER BODIES WAS JUST TOO PERSONAL AND EMOTIONAL.

  1. there is a trend of cowardice in this country. people will attend meetings but cannot append their signatures WHY? I presume its fear of reprisals and consequences.

    • Its not cowardice, despite persistent illusionary antics from UPND and their cronies there is free speech in Zambia. People anything at anytime and wherever and can change their mind anyhow. Only a free speech environment allows that

    • @ Hakaiinde. Its not cowardice. This is common when you don’t agree to the content of the document. You can’t endorse you signature.

  2. Paul Mususu is a coward or a PF carder like Mambilima. Who in their right mind cannot see what the PF is doing is wrong. Lungu must instead produce compelling evidence that shows he won. Using cowards, state machinery etc will not remove the thought that half the country hold that their vote was manipulated against their choice

    • Lungu has a vindictive streak in him of pushing wrong-doing to the max. Two years ago he justified stealing from his client by saying that he repaid the money he stole. On retaining ministers after Parliament was dissolved, he said that the Constitutional Court would advise, knowing full well that the court decision would only happen after or close to the election period end. He is doing the same with the torture of HH, that the court would determine the treason case. When the courts quash the case, he will wash his hands off the responsibility of having tortured HH through the treason trial.

  3. Chipata Diocese Auxiliary Bishop Benjamin Phiri says the recent statement issued by Lusaka Archbishop Telesphore Mpundu does not represent the views of the Catholic Church in Zambia.
    Bishop Phiri says Archbishop Mpundu did not consult other Bishops before he released the statement.
    He says there is procedure that is followed when Bishops want to advise government on issues affecting the nation.

    Bishop Phiri says the procedure was not followed by the Archbishop when he released a statement attributed to the three Church mother bodies.
    He was speaking when he addressed Christians in Chadiza district.
    The Bishop said the Catholic Church is non-partisan, contrary to assertions by the other church mother bodies.
    He said the Catholic Church will continue to work with the…

    • The problem with governments in Africa is that, anyone who speaks against injustices is an enemy of the state. For supporters and beneficiaries of state power all is well until they themselves suffer injustice at the hands of their idols. At least the Catholic Church has been consistent in its stand against injustice. They spoke against KK, Chiluba and RB.

    • Am Auxiliary Bishop is not a Diocesan Bishop. He is merely an assistant to the Bishop who is responsible for the diocese. The Archbishop is two steps senior to the Auxiliary Bishop. This is like an altar boy dissociating himself from the priest’s homily! This blatant Wakonism and insubordination should not be tolerated in the Holy Church.

  4. When are Africans going to learn that religion just divides them and self destructive…even the white supremacies can easily influence you without lifting a finger.
    Wake up from your docility and study about self!!

    • So there is an experienced atheist…if one does not believe in religion does that automatically make them an athiest? If a colour is not white does it make it black? So you are telling me that your ancestors who lived thousands of years before Christainity were atheist?
      Wake up from you folly!!

    • An African’s worst enemy is another African who wants his job, or land, or wife or another resource. Africans were killing or selling each other long before the missionaries came to Africa. So religion is not a divider among Africans. In fact it is a unifier among tribes that have hated and murdered each other for millenia. Without religion and a fake legal construct like Zambia, I cannot see how, for example, Bembas and Lozis can be in the same country.

    • @6.2 Jay Jay

      If behooves you to speak for yourself. Are you an atheist or not? And if you are not, then be so kind to tell us of the religion you adhere you, which, I presume, must be better than Christianity.

    • @Imute wa Kalilo
      Really laughable …you are the selfsame people who goes to a vegan and ask them what meat the really eat!!

    • @ Buck Teeth Lungu – You are the reason why so many of Afrikans are lost and ignorantly promoting white supremacy you do not even know it. Do you know that Egyptian history predates Christianity but no where have Pyramids been mentioned in the bible. Why? They knew if they mentioned them they acknowledge how great the ancient Afrikans were..
      You need to study about self …wake up!!

  5. Iamfras
    It is dunder heads like you who have failed to smell the coffee that are then biggest liability to the nation.Your PF has already confirmed that the nation is divided,that statement coming from the president himself.What we are now seeing is that the church is now also divided,whilst Lungu has unleashed rabied dogs like Mumbi Phiri and Bwalya to further divide the PF and the UPND.Meanwhile for pipo like you and your Lungu it is buisiness as usual.

  6. Lungu has evidence that he won. That’s why he was sworn in Whoever has doubts should go and inspect the ballots
    its HH who should show proof that he won

    • 8.1 Kubweka – HH was given the opportunity but his lawyers spent all their available time on preliminary issues. The constitution cannot be circumvented just to please HH. 14 days is 14 days.

    • 8.1 Kubweka – Furthermore, since the abortive election challenge, UPND have failed to release their evidence of how they won in terms of their own nationwide PVT. Goes to show they didn’t have any evidence making them spend their time floundering about on side issues.

    • Lungu has no evidence that he won. He knows that he rigged the election results so that he could be declared the winner by ECZ. That’s why he would not allow the election petition to be determined by his Kangaroo Court.

  7. I don’t know whether this weakens or strengthens EFZ. The problem they have is that some of their board members are compromised. Who is going to believe anything that comes out of Rev Pukuta Mwanza’s mouth, the man has become a cadre. So I would rather believe Bishop Mususu.

    • MUSUSU IS A KAONDE FROM NORTH WESTERN PROVINCE A UPND STRONGHOLD. SO HIS BEHAVIOUR IS UNDERSTANDABLE. THE BOARD HAS 7 OFFICIALS. AND ONLY TWO TAKE UP A POSITION WITHOUT CONSULTING THE OTHERS AND CLAIM THAT IT IS THE OFFICIAL POSITION. THAT IS WRONG. THE OTHER FIVE WERE NOT CONSULTED AND THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN AND NOT TO BE MISUNDERSTOOD AND NOT TO BE MISREPRESENTED.

    • This type of crisis is necessary to take away the veneer of fairness that most people put on in fault lives. Now their real personas and tribal affiliations are showing through. Even if they were not consulted, the EFZ board members are showing that live, compassion and fairness are not their guiding light. They are compromised by Lungu and their tribal affiliations.

  8. I am ashamed of these Muzungu anikonde men of God. EFZ is dead with such pls fire this Pukuta Mwanza today he has failed. Pukuta please go back to Garden Compound. I am burning your books in my possession.

    • I sympathise! Were the books given free to you or you actually bought them? You must be completely bored to have time to read anything written by Pukuta Mwanza!

    • All pretense of oneness is rapidly evaporating. Lungu is a failed politician whose feeble attempts at hoodwinking Zambians about unity have failed miserably. In fact he has been at the forefront of victimising Tongas and Lozis. There are 58 people who have been recently dismissed from State House, people in their late 20s and early 30s retired for being their tribe!

  9. IT IS SO DISAPPOINTING THAT THE EFZ CANNOT SEE AND STAND UP FOR THE PEOPLE OF THEIR OWN COUNTRY. CHRISTIANITY IS LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING FOR EACH AND EVERYONE. WHY ARE THEY SO AGAINST TELESPHORE MPUNDU? ARE THEY BEING PAID TO SIDE WITH THE WRONGS OF THE GOVERNMENT? SURELY IN THEIR BLIND DEVOTION CAN THEY NOT SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE COUNTRY? IF THE UNEDUCATED PEOPLE NOTICE. HOW THEN DO THESE SO CALLED CHURCH LEADERS TURN A BLIND EYE TO THE EVIL THAT IS CORRUPTING OUR COUNTRY. I HAVE READ AND REREAD THE STATEMENT FROM THE ARCH BISHOP AND FIND NOTHING AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT BUT THE WORDS OF A BRAVE SHEPHARD STANDING UP FOR HIS FLOCK.

    • Don’t be misled. Religion helps Africans to work together, instead of killing each other on tribal grounds as we have been doing for millenia. Without religion, people like Lungu are target practice for spears, machetes and guns.

  10. We should as well become a Muslim nation or a pagan nation. So what is the Ministry of Religion doing about this? A divided christian religion.

  11. You see how they have just imbalanced themselves.. The chairperson did not agree/sign… Zambia is A dictatorship..FULLSTOP.

  12. Comment: When some of us mentioned that the introduction of the Religious affairs ministry will bring about a divided church some pf caders castigated us. It’s not just Efz look at the Catholic church too. It’s slowly becoming divided. That’s what happens when theres no separation between the state and the church.

    • You may not agree but the truth is the dislike of Edgar Lungu by Bishop Mususu and Bishop Mpundu is what has caused this confusion. How can the clergy hold a press briefing on behalf of a political party to castigate a party in government. If these two men understand parenting they wouldn’t side with any of the two children fighting. Also lets not fight because of politics because these same politicians change camps. The current president was initially a UPND member . Atleast UPND should be happy that their own man whom they groomed is in state house. Personally I have hope that UPND can produce a president. So be careful when you castigate president Lungu because he was initially raised by UPND. A branch can’t be sour whilst the trunk is sweet. Impossible!

  13. Paul Mususu should resign from the EFZ board if he doesn’t want to work as a team. They wouldn’t even waste time. They have put the institution of EFZ into disrepute. And him and his vice have chosen not to sign the press statement that gives the official position of EFZ on such a serious matter shows that they are not in good standing with the fellowship and they cant continue to serve as leaders. They should know that there is no shortage of leaders in EFZ.

  14. Its a pity tribalism has even entered EFZ! Simple reasoning, the current EFZ chairman Paul Mususu is from North-Western hence his stance on UPND rather than being neutra, also Mwiza is from southern province, hence his stance.
    Church learn to be neutral.

    • Well said, however, you forgot to mention Bishop Phiri of Chipata Diocese and Bishop Banda of Ndola Diocese.

    • Your thinking is retrogressive. You only see tribes instead of analyzing issues. You are a bigot and a tribalist. How can Zambia develop with people like you? Is Mwiza not a name from eastern province?

  15. You may not agree but the truth is the dislike of Edgar Lungu by Bishop Mususu and Bishop Mpundu is what has caused this confusion. How can the clergy hold a press briefing on behalf of a political party to castigate a party in government. If these two men understand parenting they wouldn’t side with any of the two children fighting. Also lets not fight because of politics because these same politicians change camps.

So be careful when you castigate president Lungu because he was initially raised by UPND. A branch can’t be sour whilst the trunk is sweet. Impossible!

    • Wise counsel. However, aren’t Bishops human too? Must they not fold their sleeves, if need be and when called upon by mitigating circumstances? Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Bishop Tutu of South Africa was not known ever to condone evil in the name of “PARENTING.” He always called a spade a spade.

  16. UPND may have oiled the Archbishop Mpundu or he may have read the statement at Gunpoint as UPND Representatives were also present, so I hear. How come other stakeholders are distancing themselves as the Archbishop acted as if all the three mother bodies were involved. Brown Envelop is at stake anywhere, whether Opposition or Government but on this one, it appears the Archbishop had something from the other side. What HH did in Mongu is not looked at and because some stakeholders are finding it difficult to find the root Couse, this confusion may not end. Anyway, the views expressed by Me are just mine.

  17. Who influenced others? It seems some of the clergy who were present at the briefing were bulldozed by someone with influence. It has never happened in the history were the authors of statements were left alone to digest their own product. They did not consult then what was the motive?

  18. So gbm’s money only ended up in the hands of the two, whose ve not signed here. Upndiots r corrupting the church & causing divisions btwn men of God. They will soon know the wrath of God.

  19. Catholics are dangerous. Ask Rwandans and you will find the answer. If you allow Mpundu to mpundulise Zambia then Rwanda is here.

  20. The problem is neither the church nor the state. The church-state strife is merely representative of a huge underlying problem that was born with Zambia in 1964. And the problem is that our electoral system tends to promote regional politics and therefore ethnic strife. The result being that certain groups feel marginalised and righteously indignant.

    It’s all down to the fact our democracy was imported wholesale from western capitals without due regard to characteristics peculiar to our society, vis-à-vis ethnic diversity. Rather we should view democracy through the ethnic prism that holds us together as a country.

    Given that the ethnic line cuts Zambia into NE and SW ethnic blocks, the Presidency ought to alternate across the dividing line.

    To promote continuity of leadership…

  21. cont./-
    To promote continuity of leadership under this arrangement, the veep will have to come from the other side, and be the next side’s president. Five year terms should do per side to increase a turnover of leadership.

    Democracy in its current form is only workable in the western world where chiefs and languages do not exist. Out there, for one to be British, he or she only needs to be English. Period. But down here, there is more to being Zambian – one also carries the ethnic identity.

    It will take creative and imaginative minds to make it work, just as American founding fathers were when they set out to bring states together … way back in the 1700s.

    Let us exploit our unity in ethnic diversity, and align our democracy accordingly and all conflicts will disappear.

  22. i have know Paul Mususu for sometime, the man is scandalous. we have true men of God not this man, true Men of God are not easily found. and we have some in this country like Elijah!

  23. This storm shall go and God’s children shall be delivered .
    Those that fear GOD and Keep HIS Commandment shall be saved. Our GOD has never failed us. We are in this storm because of our sins. We have lost our first love and may we repent.
    First, let us forgive each other and stop calling other tribes bad names. Those in leadership must respect GOD first and do that pleases GOD before they ask to be respected.
    All acts of evil whether done by either PF or UPND must be condemned by President Lungu. He must tell his juniors never to insult HH and his supporters.Thereafter HH must apologise too to the President and the nation.
    Calling HH a s.a.t.anist by Lungu’s cohorts and saying UPND is tribal is sin before GOD. PF members must repent. Calling Edgar Lungu names by UPND is evil and…

  24. Thats how a church statement should read…very objective and neutral. Not the UPND statement Mpundu read. I think Mpundu is now shaking from embarrassment.

  25. Calling Edgar Lungu names by UPND is evil and UPND must repent.
    No need to defend or praise anyone. We , Zambians have sinned terribly. We have misused the name of GOD for our selfish ends. We must own up.
    WE ARE GUILTY AND MUST REPENT. NO POINTING FINGERS……

  26. THE EFZ HAS SOILED ITSELF WITH POLITICAL FAECAL MATTER.
    HH IS SDA, BUT HIS CHURCH IS QUIET.
    WHY THE INTEREST IN A SHEEP WHICH IS NOT YOURS BA EFZ?
    YOU SEE NOW, YOU HAVE SOLED YOUR HANDS.
    WHAT A SHAME.

  27. Further more even you UPND bloggers don’t have even a slightly clue how HH’s votes where stolen if you knew you would have ranted already but you don’t know anything, it is just a matter of blinding following.

  28. Paul Mususu is a credible bishop and not these bishops of Lungu like Pukuta and Kamangala who are PF cadres. Misusu was a bishop before these bishops of Lungu and has always stood for the truth and justice. The real bishops have already spoken about Lungu and his dictatorship which is a fact. Forget about the PF cadre bishops who have been bought by brown envelopes.

  29. I STILL SAY NO FINGER POINTING. ME, YOU BLOGGERS, THE CHURCH AND THE ENTIRE ZAMBIA WE HAVE SINNED AGAINST GOD…. LET US REPENT.
    EACH PERSON MUST EXAMINE HIMSELF AND SEEK GOD’S FORGIVENESS.
    NO ONE IS RIGHT BEFORE GOD….
    GOD PUNISHED THE ISRAELITES BECAUSE OF THEIR REBELLION. WHO ARE WE THAT GOD CAN SPARE US WHEN WE WANTONLY SIN? ARE WE HOLIER THAN THE OLD ISRAELITES WHO SAW THE RED SEA PARTED BEFORE THEIR EYES?
    BANE LESA NI LESA. OUR GOD IS AN ALMIGHTY GOD…..LET US REPENT BEFORE HE STRIKE US WITH HIS WRATH….

    • @robmwale: IF YOU HAVE SINNED AGAINST GOD PLEASE CONFESS ALONE. DO NOT POINT AT EVERYONE. YES WE KNOW THAT NO ONE IS RIGHTEOUS. BUT JUST CONFESS YOUR OWN SINS AND DONT CONDEMN ALL OF US. HH HAS SINNED ALONE AND HE ALSO SHOULD CONFESS HIS SINS ALONE. NOT FORCING EVERYONE.

  30. whats wrong with these board members? they have said the same thing that their board chair said. in other words, there is collusion among these to try to serve men, and not God.

    The three mother bodies spoke the Word of God, even quoting the Bible, these men have spoken the words of men.

    What a sad state of affairs

  31. #robmwale: Edgar is evil and a murderer. It is not sin to call him evil and murderer. Do you fear Edgaer or God? God will judge Edger and those who support him like you for the evils which he has done. Don’t twist the Bible. You have sinned for supporting a man with blood on his hands. So repent.

  32. @Chalo Nkanza, you are right. In fact, many people know this.

    But you, like many others, have missed the issues at hand.
    Ask yourself, why are you speaking bemba and Nyanja, why are most songs promoted being those of bemba and Nyanja, why are all institutions of governance controlled by bembas and nynajja, why are executive positions in Zambia being controlled by bembas and nyanjas, why is a bg stake of jobs going to them. dear, you have left it too long without attention.

    but don’t be mistaken, they will never turn this country into a bemba Nyanja state, which their master started when he tried to destroy barotseland

  33. Its no longer a secret, and they are not ready to let go. u have a lot to learn, what you are proposing will happen, but it will not come with a silver spoon, not even a very long spoon. you will have to wrestle for it. I have told you.

  34. Father Telesphore Mpundu should learn to consult members before he utters anything. How does he know whether members are thinking like him? Otherwise he is just irritating most if not all Catholics.

  35. Bishops know the root cause of the problem: It’s all because one man has refused to recognize a democratically elected President and he has vowed to disrespect the law. Why should Bishops start bumping into each other as if they are in the darkness and yet Jesus said you are the light of the world? Bishops are expected to counsel HH to accept Lungu as President of Zambia and also respect the law instead of dancing to the tune of one man’s pride and arrogance.

  36. There is a lot of ignorance on issues regarding the Catholic church and its work.
    They two Bishops(who are Canon lawyers by the way) who have clarified the position of the church are the two who are the most competent to argue the case for the church.

    As for Bishop Mpundu,he is allowed to give his personal opinion.
    Personally, I don’t like his confrontational approach.
    In 2007,the late President Levy Mwanawasa almost arrested him due to such an approach to national issues.

  37. Reverend Pukuta Mwanza is causing divisions in EFZ. He has always been a PF cadre and will support everything PF does. Even if PF ordered killing of all citizens, he will support them in the name of loyalty to the government. I regret that at one point in time he was my pastor. I thank God am not under him anymore because he can mislead people. True Christians do not support everything that government does. Where government does something wrong, they are there to advise the correct way of doing things not just endorsing everything president does.

  38. What we need is to do is clasp our hands, knee down, close our eyes and pray to White Jesus our great saviour.
    Prayer harder for unity in Jesus’s name.
    AMEN!!
    AMEN I say!!

  39. @37 terrible, I hear you and hope we be the first nation to resolve this problem or wrestle it, as you put it. Democracy has eluded many an African nation as a result of failing to align the continent’s ethnic reality with the facts of democracy.

  40. The press briefing by the catholics is being used by upnd to represent the voice of the church in Zambia, which is totally wrong. The catholics only account for 20% of the church going population in Zambia. Myself and millions of Zambians who represent 75% of the protestant congregations are not spoken for here-therefore I cannot and will not take this issue serioussly!! A more complete representation of the church should include the pentecostals, the SDA, the baptists, the Apostolic faith etc. THIS FAKE CHARADE BY UPND HAS FAILED AGAIN, SOMETHING THAT HAS BECOME SYNONYMOUS WITH UPND!!!

  41. All the Wako ni Wako and Umodzi Kumawa Bishops are distancing themselves from the Pastoral Letter are siding with Dictator Lungu becoz they are all Easterners. Its most Easterners like Lungu,RB ,Kaizer Zulu etc who are persecuting HH the Tonga Bull. The hatred by the Easterners and a few Bembas is glaring. HH is being persecuted and incarcerated not becoz he committed Treason but becoz he Petitioned the 2016 Election and he is refusing to recognize a Vote Thief and Law Breaker as the legitimate President of Zambia. To make matters worse HH is Tonga and Lungu and PF hate Tongas with a Passion.

  42. These men of Gold are just about to distance themselves from God at this rate christians for lungu will blame everybody but Saint chagwa.What a shame.

  43. We know that some bishops and clergy distancing themselves from the press conference released by three church mother bodies are Pf cadres and are receiving envelopes from state house! Shame to the so called church leaders who support injustice in the country

  44. THE CHURCH IS NOW RECEIVING COUNSEL FROM THE WORLD, FROM HH, FROM GBM ETC.
    WHAT IS THE POSITION OF THE CHURCH ON THE BEHAVIOUR OF HH IN MONGU?

  45. Christians in Zambia are on test. What the Three mother bodies stated are worth looking at seriously not politicking cos’ the points have the potential to heal our land or destroy it even more. Look at the POINTS raised not WHO is the PRESIDENT you support. The points are about the problems faced by the Zambian society. Please fellow believers avoid being used by evil politicians/devils most men reacting to the points raised by the Three Mother Bodies are NOT Christians including the cited Bishops being used now to speak against the statement. REMEMBER- Father Frank Bwalya. Don’t be that blind at all.

    • BUT THE THIRD MOTHER BODY HAS REFUSED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT STATEMENT. MUSUSU WAS IN IT ALONE. 2 IS BIGGER THAN 5. IN SHORT, 71.4% OF EFZ BOARD MEMBERS HAVE REJECTED THE STATEMENT THAT THY WERE PURPORTED TO BE PARTY TO.

  46. Those who signed the EFZ statement agree that the country has challenges which is not what PF says that there is no tension

  47. Politically, Zambia is very divided.just look at the EFZ press release and check the names:
    Paul Mususu – Kaonde from N/Western and Fortune L.Mwiza (tonga) took a upnd stance together with Telesphore Mpundu.the other 5 members which include 2 from the East have distanced themselves from T.Mpundu’s propaganda.its clear that politics has divided the church too-shocking!!!
    I SIMPLY CANT SEE HOW THE VOTING PATTERN SHALL CHANGE IN 2021 AT THE RATE THE COUNTRY IS MOVING!!UPND WILL WIN IN 3.5 PROVINCES WHILE PF SHALL DO THE SAME IN 6.5 PROVINCES-MARK MY WORDS!!

  48. From the beginning I was never wrong, there is no doubt that we have Donkeys among us. How donkeys could have obtained Zambian citizenship I don’t know.

  49. ZAMBIAs PROBLEM IS BASICALLY A TRIBAL ONE. THERE IS A TRIBE IN THE SOUTH THAT THINKS IT IS SUPERIOR TO THE OTHERS. IT THINKS IT SHOULD BE THE ONE RULING THE NATION. UNFORTUNATELY FOR THAT TRIBE, THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTERS DO NOT THINK SO. SO THE TRIBE KEEPS LOSING ELECTION AFTER ELECTION. ALL THE REFUSAL TO ACCEPT THE 2016 ELECTIONS IS BASED ON TRIBE. ALL THE OTHER THINGS ARE EXCUSES. AND THE CHURCH SHOULD SEE THIS AND TRY TO HELP US. THAT IS EVEN THE REASON WHY THE SO CALLED DIALOGUE CANNOT WORK. BECAUSE THIS TRIBE WANTS TO BE GIVEN POWER ON A SILVER PLATA. LET US BE HONEST WITH OURSELVES. GOING INTO DIALOGUE WITH THE SOLE PURPOSE OF GETTING POWER FROM THE DECLARED WINNER IS NO DIALOGUE AT ALL.

  50. It doesn’t matter we don’t care about corrupt sido church which doesn’t care about the suffering of Zambian only receiving corrupt money. God is watching you. you’ve no value in our society EFZ. MPUNDU is right and is caring about as than Easterners corrupt Bishops especially Daka

  51. BA CHISANGA CHISANGA. I’m a Bemba by tribe according to my research we are being used by the people from eastern province and we are busy insulting our brothers in southern province. we need to work up we are sleeping. look today a percentage of people who have been appointed are from eastern province. in fact those people they did not help us in all elections in the history of Zambia we have been having. Chiluba was not voted for they voted for UNIP Kaunda from Malawi same to Sata they voted for MMD because of Rupia Banda. If I take you back during election between Sata and Rupia after the death of Mwanawasa. Rupia was preaching to the people of Eastern Province that wako ni wako meaning your tribe’s people is your people again he did the same this year to Edger Lungu. why is that…

    • You cannot fight regionalism with regionalism. You will fail. Fight injustice with justice. Fight hatred with love. Fight poverty with wealth.

  52. BA NICHCHANDS, YOU’RE A TONGA DISGUISING YOURSELF AS A BEMBA SO THAT YOU CAN DIVIDE PF. LET ME TELL YOU I AM A BEMBA OF THE BEMBAS AND A PF BORNAFIDE CADRE. THERE IS PERFECT LOVE BETWEEN US AND OUR EASTERN COUSINS. WE VOTE LEADERS ON THE BASIS OF DEMOCRACY AND ANYONE CAN WIN UNLIKE UPND WHERE ONLY A TONGA MUST BE PRESIDENT. YOU THINK WE ARE SO DULL TO BELIEVE YOUR DECEPTION? IN FACT YOU ARE THE ONLY TRIBE IN ZAMBIA LEFT WALLOWING IN TRIBALISM.

  53. Ba Nichchands, you’re a Tonga disguising yourself as a Bemba so that you can divide PF. Let me tell you, I am a Bemba of the Bembas and a PF bornafide cadre. There is perfect love between us and our Eastern cousins. We vote leaders on the basis of democracy and anyone can win unlike UPND where only a Tonga must be President. Even Sakwiba Sikota your own cousin was pushed aside in preference for HH. You think we are so dull to forget so early and believe your deception? In fact you are the only tribe in Zambia still wallowing in tribalism.

  54. Pukuta Mwanza became a PF cadre when Lungu took over, under Sata he used to support RB’s MMD. That’s how come late Sata used to refer to him as ukupukuta

  55. VERY IMPORTANT WARNING:

    Please may I warn people trying to join ILLUMI-NATI or SATAN-ISM to become rich. You will only do so to your own destruction and premature death. Satan cannot give you anything for free. I was a Satani-st but I barely escaped death when I quickly saw the Pastor and he helped me to surrender my life to Jesus Christ. That’s how my life has been protected. If you want to know how life is in the river, you better ask the crocodile.

  56. NGOSA 2 58/59
    You are so right. NICHCHANDS is just one of those people who are always using bemba/eastern names to disguise themselves, so that they can win on facebook.

    These people will do anything to have Double H in state house. Cant never
