UPND Presidential Advisor William Banda has warned former President Rupiah Banda not to force him to start disclosing what he wanted to do after losing the 2011 elections to late President Michael Sata before the Electoral Commission of Zambia announced the full results.

Mr Banda says former President will do well to keep quiet and not contribute to the problems that have engulfed the country.

He says Mr Banda should not blame the UPND for the current political tension in the country.

Mr. Banda who once served at State house as one of the presidential aides has told Journalists in Lusaka that remarks by the former Head of State are damaging and divisive.

He says what the people expect from statesmen like Mr. Banda is to play a reconciliatory role after realizing that there are divisions in the country as a result of last year’s general election.

And former Lubansenshi Independent Member of Parliament and now UPND Member Patrick Mucheleka says it is common knowledge that the UPND has not forgotten about last year’s elections because they have questioned the legitimacy of President Edgar Lungu in court.

  1. This man has credence whatsoever

    Ignore him, RB is doing well and is revered and adored by you and all Zambians

    Thanks

    • He’s just showing the kind of leader he is. He’s an advisor for as long as things are going well, showing fake loyalty. When times change he turns into a chameleon and changes colour. Who would want such a person for an advisor, even UPND should be careful with such people. They are only loyal for as long as their needs are being met. At the time he was in MMD whatever he is alleging seemed normal, now that he is out it is bad, no substance whatsoever! Unfortunately these are the kind of leaders we have today.

    • WHAT EXACTLY CAN WE LEARN FROM THIS POLITICAL HARLOT!
      ============================
      You fall short of a model tag William Banda. I didn’t know that you are also in the UPND leadership council. Like I have always said on this podium, You,GVB M, VJ and the others are every bit responsible for sending HH to Jail through you ill-conceived wrong and malicious advice. What honestly can you advise the disgraced UPND leadership. Iwe Garry Nkombo, I am disappointed with you. How do you let these hypocrites high-jack UPND’s advisory council. No wonder! Request should be turning in his Grave. What construstive checks and balances can come from Willie sure?

    • Well done William Tekere for telling off Papa Corruption~RB a novice!

      Papa Corruption is one of MMD novices who has brought tribalism in the country with his selfishness mantra of Wako Ni Wako.
      Well done Tekere!

      The Skeleton Key

    • William Banda is a waste of time and space. A typical cadre that feeds on politics of the belly. Very ungrateful looser!I

    • And this is the man who is UPND presidential adviser. They shouls be careful what they are planning and discussing in his presence. He is unreliable and he changes wirh political wind.

    • If William Banda has ANY EVIDENCE of corrupt and/or criminal things the ACC should IMMEDIATELY use their powers to gather this evidence!

      And those people, whoever they are, should be PROSECUTED for their crimes! Or are some people abover the law and protected by Lungu???? The same person that claimes he cannot interfere with the process of JUSTICE???

    • RB is not impartial in this case. he was on a campaign tour for the incumbent so his voice is tainted with blue and green only.

    • Stupid Zambians are quick to look at who si saying it and not what he is saying. Who does not know what happened or what almost happened after Nyama soya lost elections? Is it not the same thing that has now really happened through ka nyama soya Junior?

  2. Just looking at this guy, a presidential advisor?? This guy is like the OC-Original Cadre from the 70s. The man responsible for creating the notorious VIGILANTES of UNIP. And the highly educated, the highly corporate hakainde picks him as presidential advisor?? How ironic.

    • William Banda has never been a Presidential Advisor to HH. This is a tag that Fred Mmembe put on him using his Post Newspaper as part of Mmembe’s strategy to discredit HH. Remember Mmembe is the architect of the crisis we are facing now when he helped PF come into power?

    • You are disowning Fred today?? The same Fred you sympathise with when you say the “dictator” closed the post newspaper??

    • @Zambian Citizen
      I have no doubt about the assertions that William Banda is one of HH’s presidential advisers. The status quo speaks volumes. It’s printed allover the wall.

    • Wiliam Banda, a nuisance, mad dog!! I remember telling him to behave as Leader, then he was a district political secretary under unip, during a unip annual conference in Chongwe in 1982.Everyone stood stunned, shocked as he was always feared.He nearly ordered his bodyguards to descend on me.Thank God there were other delegates who saved from a salvage beating.What beans does he want to spell and yet he was the one misleading RBB.Shame !!!!!!

    • If William Banda has something to disclose about RB he would just say it without issuing empty threats. What wrong did RB do when he advised HH to accept the presidential results of 2016 before raising other issues?
      Tekere is and I.D.I.O.T.

  3. Ba Kachema, Tongas are second class citizens who cannot take care of people but cattle. Only Easterners and Northerners have been anointed to run the affairs of this country otherwise we could have a disaster if we allow these ba Kachema to govern. Actually they should thank us for taking care of them.

    • LOW ENERGY AND HIGHLY DIVISIVE AND RETROGRESSIVE COMMENT – TRIBAL CYNICISM RHETORIC
      ==============================
      @Umodzi Kummawa
      Extremely careless anti-social and anti-Zambian mumble jumbo rants. Nauseating comment. Not inspiring at all at all. It would have been better of fellaz like you to not have been born in Zambia. I am not Tonga but your comments hurts to the core. You are a freaking let down punk. For your own information, Tongas are good out there except for a few bunch of selfish individuals in UPND.

    • “Umodzi kumawa”… when it finally comes, your death will be painful…and God won’t even give you a chance to explain yourself because you do not deserve that chance…read the bible, you d.i.c.khead!

    • So why are Tonga’s being insulted here? Are Tongas saying Bembas only take care of monkeys and only the Easterners take care of mice’s and rats.

  4. What is damaging about RB telling HH to swallow the bitter pill that he lost to EL again! RB was DONCHI KUBEBA..d and HH was DUNUNA REVERSED ke ke ke

    • We are in our millions who believe that actually Edgar lost to HH. We also believe very strongly that PF bribed the judges of the Concourt to derail the Presidential Petition. In their quite moments, these judges know what they did in creating the current crisis. So as things stand, it is not only HH who has not accepted Edgar as President, we are in our millions and the matter can only be settled by hearing the Petition. Let the petition be heard. There is no other way!

    • …your beliefs are an illusion. Your denial , hate and bitterness have got the better of you. We have a mental institution called Chainama on Great East Road which has some of the best psycologists, start there. Then seek the help of a powerful pastor who can exorcise those bad spirits of denial, hate and bitterness. It will help.

    • @Zambian Citizen, no pastor is needed. It is the courts who deal with such matters. That is why UPND is in court!

  5. There are people determined to drag Zambia had into tribal genocide. It’s too late we can’t kill our half-Bemba,half-Tonga,children.. we are deep into the 21st Century and at 71% urbanisation we’ve advanced.. we can’t go back to tribal wars.

    • K. Bwaly did you pass mathematics or you failed. It is madness to claim Lungu did not win when HH only got 100 % votes in his strong region.

    • Mucheleka is a finished product of Luwingu.They rejected him outright.Does not how to read situations.Look at Mulusa, the one Muchleka befriended and became critical of PF.What is he today.Prove that you are still popular in Luwingu, in fact, your election was nullified, meaning you are cheater, thief, dishonest.No wonder Mulusa discarded you like a very heavy hot stone.

  6. when you have a “presidential advisor” in william bandit it really speaks volumes…is he the one speaking to Trump? LOL. Spill the beans kaili…USELESS

  7. There is nothing new you can tell us Mr. Tekere Banda. We know he wanted to manipulate things but his advisors advised him against doing so because the Americans and the other donors would not be happy about it. The bottom, whether willingly or unwillingly, is that he conceded defeat and handed over power to MCS. We also remember how he cried misozi mbwembwembwembwe.

  8. Shaaaaa, the fact that he did not do what he wanted to do won’t turn him into a bad person aa Banda. infact we do not want to hear that aa Banda a foolish adviser to upndown party.

  9. WILLIAM BANDA IS PRESIDENTIAL ADVISOR TO HANYA HANYA (HH),AND YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN WIN ELECTIONS IN ZAMBIA.ANSO THATS WHY HANYA HANYA IS IN PRISON

  10. There is no beans to spill about RB, the beans have already been spilt. Remember RB was in court for corruption charges and other charges? His charges were only dropped when he started supporting PF. Remember his children were charging for fixing appointments to meet him when he was President, a system which has continued up to now? Remember that Ministers and Civil Servants in MMD wanted cuts in arranging government projects and this has continued and is worse now? In fact a government of integrity can arrest RB, former MMD Ministers and most of the current PF leaders. They are responsible for the high levels of corruption and poverty in the country right now.

    • So when HH was attending RB’s court cases to offer support he was siding with someone who is corrupt? I guess that is why it was easy for him to embrace GBM despite all the allegations about his corruption that were published in the Zambian Watchdog.

  11. I thought this chap is no more in the political arena! Is there no oath taken for one to be engaged as presidential advisor? If that happens then he needs to be charged for revealing the secret. UPND should also be careful the way that party associates with Teleka William Banda. Any careless talk shall be revealed when friendship ceases!

  12. @ZAMBIAN CITIZEN,
    What you should understand is that anyone who belongs to a political party is a cadre. And if you are truly a son of the Zambian soil you will learn to respect old people and embrace divergent views. You should know better that William Banda has been in politics for a very long time and for that he has great experience and classified information about these politicians.
    Being bitter to anyone who supports UPND will not help you. At the end of the day we are all fighting to rule the same country.

    • Willie Banda’s reputation in politics is not anything to write home about. Unless you are insinuating that it’s okay to have a few bad eggs among the good ones. Whatever Willie is scheduled to disclose about any politician can totally be contested because his very nature is highly questionable and incredible. So dare not have him as your number one witness. There is no figurehead credentials in Willies’ political acumen, Sorry.

  13. William Banda should be grateful to Rupiah for giving the hooligan a lifeline. Rupiah lost and whatever happened then, he handed over power to Mr. Sata – he did not petition the results and did not refuse to recognize Mr. Sata as President. So, to try to bring up old stuff will not stick.

    • Your primitivity comes up so well in your post. It is not uncommon for primitive people to call upright men and women, primitive.

    • You people just cant help being tribal. If you had treated Canisius Banda – an easterner with respect last year you would not be in the predicament you are in today. Remember that the population of Eastern province is about the same as that of Southern province so alienating easterners is political suicide.

    • HH got clobbered in last year’s elections. If his and your envy and jealous cannot put it to rest, we shall keep on keeping on to disagreeing to agree until 2021 comes! Read between the lines, life goes on. There are definitely a lot of people who do not agree with your life’s stance since you were a child, alas you have kept on moving as life demands. The devil also contends with God’s precepts in life but time for reckoning will come.

  14. Well,well,well!!Wasn’t William Banda one of the right hand men of Rupiah Banda? Now the two old men are on opposite sides of the coin. William Banda should know that whatever Rupiah did to remain in power after he had realized that he was losing the elections in 2011, he eventually conceded defeat. So even if William discloses what Rupiah did to try and remain in power it won’t go anywhere

    • Sadly, there is no FULL STOP. The 2021 elections will end with an EXCLAMATION MARK instead. It will be another forged election. Like begets like. That’s how Zimbabwe got to where they are today – one bad election succeeding another. Today, in that country, a good election is the exception.

  15. @MPENDULA KAYAULA.
    It is you that is tribal. Your mind is occupied with tribal thoughts and that proves who you really are. Tired of humans like you. Always bringing tribal issues.
    Move with the world man.

    • My comment was in response to somebody’s posting about leaders from the east. Ironical is it not for you to support generalisations about a group of people hailing from a particular region and then have the audacity to call me tribal! Is it not UPND supporters who caused people to be internally displaced simply because they were not Tonga or Ila in Namwala? An act of violence that was not condemned by the UPND leadership!

  16. Iye ba willie lelo? Ok why don’t you return to your country of birth. Apapene you have forgotten how your new found associate vj feasted on your madam since she had no money for food. We have not forgotten how you moved around ‘closing’ shabeens unless paid so you wouldn’t.You terrorized muma compoundi but now what are you? Please with age must come wisdom not a lack of it you as a grandfather should be helping unite the nation but we know you fuel trouble because you can just cross the river with cash unless intercepted….

  17. William Banda, true patriot. I just love the man and his wisdom. okay he tried to chuchunganya some people in his days but he is a true patriot. And knowing the man, if he has to reveal some things, some chaps can be arrested. RB, please keep quiet, if you argue with this man, your immunity will be removed again. just chill old man. Friend, frank and honest advice

  18. Cadres why are you always condemning!!! What William is saying is they are both bad men so let not Rupiah start throwing stones when he lives in a glass house. Translation for you cadres!!!! Rupiah was forced to hand power over to Michael so he is the last person to talk about elections and democracy. Let him just keep quiet and continue chewing our hard earned Kwachas!!!

  19. Benechishi if William Banda has been in politics for a very long time, hence for him to retire. We are fed-up with same stories from the Kaunda era. New crop of politicians please.

  20. @LEMBA,
    ALL THOSE YOU ARE PAYING HOMAGE TO, ARE RECICLED LEADERS.DONT YOU KNOW THAT ZAMBIA IS BACK TO KK ERA.

  21. RB is the Godfather and Architect of Lungu’s Dictatorship, Tribalism and Regionalism. RB is a beneficiary of Lungu’s Dictatorship and so he cannot bite the hand that feeds him and protects him from prosecution. RB has so many skeletons in the closet so he values Lungu’s continued Dictatorship. RB wants HH ,the Tonga Bull, to rot in Jail for his own safety. Lungu and RB have a common interest to keep HH in Jail and eliminate him politically. This will help Lungu consolidate his Dictatorship and Rule Zambia with an Iron Fist until he dies. To Lungu the Economy is stupid and what matters is to retain his stolen power and thats why he is telling the West with their Money.Time will tell.

  22. So this man has been living with beans inside him all these years? Explains why he’s always looked gaseous or bloated. Too bad for those who walk near him for they, too, risk having their beans chewed and spilled later.

    Moral of the story: Never share a blanket with a bean eater. Lolest

  23. Iwe William, you are guilt of hiding a crime. Why didn’t you spill the beans then? Oh I know, because you benefited as well. Just shut up!!!

  24. You have already spilled the beans. This man should appear before a select committee to answer questions of national interest.

  25. Even though what W Banda says makes sence, i will never forget the crimes against humanity he committed before the 2011 general elections together with RB. God Bless Zambia Army, God Bless Sikazwethegreat and God bless Zambia.

  26. Ba ACC please act now! Arrest William Banda. He is hiding information on a crime. He is an accessory. Arrest both RB and him. We all know youre scared of RB. But Let’s see now if you are independent.
