Former ZANASU Vice-President Prince Ndoyi says the opposition UPND are ‘irretrievably on a shameless mission of embarrassment.’
Commenting on the trip by UPND’s top blass who visited South Africa’s opposition leader Julius Malema, Mr Ndoyi said the UPND have turned themselves into a political cannon are now shooting in all directions for political relevance internationally.
He noted that as opposed to visiting opposition political parties abroad the UPND leadership should have taken advantage of the visits by the three Presidents eho have visited the country in the last two months and asked for audience if indeed their motive is to find someone to mediate for them regarding the incarceration their leader.
Below is the full statement as Mr Ndoyi.
We want to comment on the trip by the UPND leadership to visit South Africa’s opposition leader CIC Julius Malema. It is worrisome the amount of desperation we are witnessing from the UPND in the last few months.
This is yet another failed desperate attempt to try and set a stage for themselves into international politics, as well as set a tone to portray themselves as though they have grown into international politics. The UPND must not rob Malema of the integrity he holds among South Africans.
UPND are irretrievably on a shameless mission of embarrassment. They have turned themselves into a political lose cannon, shooting in all directions for help, even from places and individuals that nobody in the world would consider.
Their actions in the past months are a thorn in the flesh of people that laid the foundations of politics in our country, people like Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula, Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe, Mainza Chona and others. We can’t imagine for a bit, if Anderson Mazoka were to rise today to see what his party has been reduced to, evidenced from the political immaturity they are exhibiting.
We urge the EFF not to stoop low to the levels of UPND, who in their desperation called a stooge of Hellen Zille, Mmusi Maimane to try and gain political sympathy from the international community. The move failed because Zambians from the onset understand the interests of Hellen Zille, Mmusi Maimane and their Democratic Alliance(DA) party.
Infact these are some of things President Lungu mentioned during the Press Conference that there a number of business men who want to usurp political power in Kenya, South Africa, Zimbabwe and our country.
We are of the view that the move by the UPND somewhat exposes them and vindicates the President, and Zambians should be weary of these moves. We urge the EFF who represent the genuine interests of South Africans not to fall into the trap of the UPND.
The EFF practices practical and logical politics, and they would be dammed if they began courting a political party that is hell bent on polarizing their own country. It is surprising that the UPND has no friendship with any sitting head of state, but have gone on rampage meeting opposition political parties.
Their aspirations for leadership and national office do not represent the interests of the indigenous Zambian people, but those of the opposition political parties in South Africa and we are confident no jokes that Zambians could not be fooled in that direction.
The UPND have entered a Political mode destructive; not only to themselves, but to the nation at large. They no longer represent the values and rich heritage upon which the Zambian politics was established.
Lastly, if the UPND are genuinely looking for people to mediate over the incarceration of their president HH, they should have taken the opportunity to talk to Presidents who have visited the country.
In the last two months, we have received three Heads Of States and we are sure President Lungu would have taken heed of any advise coming from any of the three regarding their issues. Our advise is let themcalm down and genuinely reconcile their actions over the last months with the Zambian people.

What is ZANASU?
Who is Prince J. Ndoyi? never heard about him. And what is ZANASU.
I will conclude that Ndoyi is jobless [if he had a job he was not going to be refereed to as “former” ZANASU VP] and wants the president to notice him. As RB would say “Ndoyi Yamuyokotola njala”
PF are Kids, can’t believe that Zambia is being run by such stupidity. What is wrong with them going to South Africa? ANC headquarters was also in Zambia; did you see white south Africans complaining. They are all opposition parties so they are working and sharing strategies of making the parties in power accountable. I can see that UPND has given PF sleepless nights.
That’s a good thought. Apart from going that way upnd landed themselves in wrong hands. The DA party which is sponsored by the same people who funded upnd would’ve been the best party to visit not malema. Besides mmusi risked his life to come and visit his Co benefactor and he felt upnd owes him a visit but the under5s goes somewhere else. Can someone please help these retards before they land themselves into the ocean. What a blander. The da must be hurting for being dumped. They now understand why hh has stayed this long in prison.
I don’t like that ka Ndoyi, so stupidities mayadi-mayadi.
Tayali is better than this cartoon Prince Ndoyi.
Bowman Lusambo was also invited by EFF’s Malema when he was MMD Youth Die-Hard! Nothing wrong!
Another shameless PF gun.
are you their party member for you to be concerned about their self destruction? or you are just envious of their international acknowlegement and profile, when compared to someone you know very well who is despised so much internationally as someone who has destroyed zambia’ status as democracy.
Well,he is saying something sensible. UPND, just think for once, what do you think your leaders will achieve complaining to Malema? It is indeed a shame, a laughable one for that matter. They should find someone close to ECL to be a mediator. This is urgent because HH is suffering in prison. It also demands the realisation that the situation is not in their control but in ECL’s hands. They will not succeed fitting a square into a circle, it will not fit. Iyeeeee, chifundoooo!
Who told you they went to complain? Complain about what? Regular routine dialogue between different political parties of the world is normal. Why are some of you suddenly concerned? You don’t know it was happening all these years?
You are truly under 5 politicians. What do else do you expect Zambians to think after you complained to DA, Odinga, Obasanjo etc, all people with a history of violence in their countries. Are you trying to cheat me that they did not discuss the problems of UPND in Zambia and also the incarceration of HH. The details of the discussions are everybody’s guess. UPND is trying to solve a problem by using incompatible and useless tools that will only make the problem worse. Uttered Chifundooooo!
Meanwhile, the AU has officially announced that there is no dictatorship or any sign of the country sliding towards that, they say the current leadership was put into office constitutionally and all three arms of government are functioning well and independently.
Then the top leadership of the upnd runs to an opposition party in South Africa?? I am afraid the author is spot on!!! These are the real “chimbwis with no plan”, “chipante pante politics” !!!
Nice piece Ndoyi – Unfortunately, for UPND, any President who has come to visit Zambia is frowned upon, either called a dictator or supports dictatorship. There is so much pride in this Party. There are a lot of people within Zambia who can be put together by UPND to help it engage in politics of nation-building and moving forward. For them no, they would rather assemble people who are going to say Zambia is a full-fledged “Dictatorship”.
What would you do if you re told that the AU was wrong?
When KK was incarcerated, unip went to Julius Mwalimu Nyerere and the kk was released unconditionally. Awe mwandi upndonkeys is headed for doom. Julius not respected among many south Africans.
Mwalimu came on his own.
Nkhata bay, you have idea how international diplomacy works. A statesman like Mwalimu cannot just wake up and come to Zambia. There are always some official contacts and negotiations behind the scenes. UPND has to learn how this kind of diplomacy and negotiations work. Militancy is not diplomacy and will not solve the problem UPND and HH are facing. The problem, I think, is that all credible statesmen tell them to first accept the 2016 Presidential election results. niyokosa candle! !!!!!
What do you expect from UPND, it died with Mazoka. It is now United Party for National Destruction.
And “National Destruction”, which started on 11th September 2011 has been accomplished by Plunderers Federation. What else can we expect from the bunch of uneducated, vision-less and convicted embezzlers?
That from your low caliber,thinking capacity and shallow minds which can talk like, we know that most of you, are there just to robe this nation and run away we shall not spare you either way.
The picture has wrong heading, the introductory article to Ndoyi’s statement is so poorly written! That is one part. NOW for those who MAY NOT PIECE TOGETHER this LITTLE PUZZLE, here some ISSUES TO CONSIDER:Malema is NOT a genuine economic freedom fighter! He is there for his pocket! He is a chaotic person who is said to be SPONSORED BY A SECTION OF SOME WHITE BUSINESS MEN but know that they need to use blacks to remove the ANC from power. When Malema started his movement after falling out with Zuma mostly likely over business interests, he WAS SOUNDING RADICAL TO NATIONALIZE MINES,BANKS etc and GIVE LAND TO BLACKS. MUGABE liked him and thus gave him financial support! But after Malema started getting money from white business interests that support Musi Maimane of DA to
…continued from 9: ..to take over power in S.Africa in order to protect their interest! Mugabe got wind of that and stopped supporting him,that is why WE HARDLY HEAR OF MALEMA visiting “Comrade Mugabe”. THE WHITES FINANCING MALEMA (EFF) AND MUSI MAIMANE (DA) COULD BE THE SAME OR HAVE THE SAME AGENDA! Since UPND leadership is a friend to DA and the latter is also a friend to EFF, then UPND can go to EFF to learn from them! WE SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF AFTER THEIR RETURN FROM R.SA UPND TAKES ON THE BEHAVIOR OF EFF IN PARLIAMENT! The REGIME CHANGE ISSUE that Lungu talked about are TRUE especially in the context of the swalu meeting in 2015, reported by Africa Confidential where HH and Nevers (MMD) were to take power from PF to promote some S.Africans’ business Interests!
Can you PLEASE mention just ONE Zambian Minister who cares about Zambians?
@10.1 history, the REASON WE NEED SENSIBLE OPPOSITION POLITICS is to show how those Ministers are failing NOT CREATING ANARCHY and seeking external support from anarchist organisations like the EFF!! IF Ministers don’t care about Zambians, they will be voted out at the appropriate time! For NOW TELL ME IF THE PROGNOSIS ABOUT THIS POLITICAL ALLIANCE AS LAID OUT ABOVE IS NOT LIKELY??
@Nose demon is just as clueless as this group of tribal MPs wasting oxygen in Parliament! Time to replace ignorance!
The UPND bloggers are doing well showing us what Hazaluza Heka thinks! Who can elect these losers and arsonists?
@ Victor
As much as “…The UPND bloggers are doing well showing us what Hazaluza Heka thinks…”, in so far current administration has proved to be totally void of any democratic, humanitarian, legal and basic moral principle. I just wonder about intelligence level, or lack of it, when it comes to their supporters on this blog (you included).
“OLD MALIYANA” IN SOUTH AFRICA SEEKING FOR SUPPORT FROM MALEMA…KIKIKIKI
UPND is a satanic cult beyond redemption
Too much time has been wasted by Upnd on frivolous issues instead of improving on the massive gains they made in northern parts of the country. As it’s I don’t see them getting any votes in these areas in the next election. There’re many loop holes in the PF government which the Upnd could have taken advantage of. But instead they have literally helped PF seal these holes through their antics. We definitely don’t want a defacto one party state by allowing PF to dominate the scene without viable opposition.
@1.2 Yes we are having sleepless nights because you are heartless, deadly evil.
