Opposition UPND President Hakainde Hichilema this morning addressed over a 100 members of Parliament belonging to the Democratic Alliance of South Africa.
The DA is the second largest party after ANC.
This follows an invitation by the Members of Parliament who wanted Mr Hichilema to share his vision and current state of affairs for Zambia with them.
During his address, Mr Hichilema called on the Members of Parliament to continue speaking on behalf of the people in their respective constituencies adding that Zambia is also on a path of achieving a truly independent and functional national assembly once UPND is in power in 2021.
Mr Hichilema also thanked them for their unrelenting support during his detention.
The UPND leader will today hold a joint press conference with the DA Leader, Mr Mmusi Maimane.
Mr Hichilema is in the company of his Vice Dr Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba and party national Chairperson, Mrs Mutale Nalumango in South Africa.
Well done HH.
Press GREEN for LUNGU
Red for HH
Thanks
BB2014,2016
HH and GBM should be sited for cheating the court in Luanshya. I thought GBM is in South Africa for treatment and HH is on a five day sick break. These characters are taking Zambians for a ride.
There are no monkeys here to press GREEN or RED at your request.
That party has many white MPs, ANC must be racist.
Nonsense
PF are making HH famous. If they didn’t arrest him for nothing he wouldn’t have been in SA addressing that many MPs.
It’s HH KONSE, KONSE!
And it’s Lungu only in Lungwebungu!
He must increase – let HH increase!
Press Green or Red if you like HH. Press nothing if you like Lungu.
Pompi
You are very stupid.How can you say these persecuted persons prosecuted left right and centre are taking Zambians for granted?These prosecutions come with a cost.Judges and Magistrates are supposed to be delivering justice not being used to sort out opponents.There are pipo in remand with there cases not being attended to and some die in jail whilst your system is playing cho-chise with innocent people.
Manimani is running a racist party which is credited with white capital monopoly and this useless convict is busy dinning with Lucifer party. Very dull approach because in SA there is no single vote.

Was it a good idea to include Mutale Nalumango in the delegation to SA and leave Mutinta behind at home alone once more when HH has been in jail for nearly half year?
Fi la leta ulubuli bane ifi ka …
This (HH) is beginning to look and sound Presidential. He’s maturing at a speed too fast for my liking.
2021 might be tough for us. Prison has taught this man vision, focus and a sense of leadership. He should thank His Excellency President Edgar Lungu for exposing him to that harsh environment as opposed to gunning down his entire motorcade.
DA is run by white monopoly capitalists and it will never rule SA. So HH is talking to a wrong camp, unless of course he will also remain for ever in opposition – which he will.
Seriously is Mwamba saying Hichilema Is Peddling Lies, “Judiciary Is Extremely Independent”
Everything happens for a reason, there we go HH will be invited by almost every country for a speech. what a shame that Lungu’s team are so stupid. they made HH so famous.
press green for P.U.S.S.Y and press red for D.I.C.K……viva HH
This man is a big shame. How can he be associating himself with this racist party when even Julius Malema can not agree an invitation to address DA MPs.
Koya ukalinine taata
GBM should look after his health. Lose the fab baba otherwise, we will be mourning again. You are too young to be in the hospital every other month.
“During his address, Mr Hichilema called on the Members of Parliament to continue speaking on behalf of the people in their respective constituencies adding that Zambia is also on a path of achieving a truly independent and functional national assembly once UPND is in power in 2021”
Is this all that he said or LT is being impartial in their reporting. I can not imagine Chanda having such a lurk worm coverage after such highly expected meeting.
I hope this will be updated with more details.
My President. A statesman. Not Chibukuman
…a statesman without a country, a king without a throne. You stop your mps from attending the presidential speech in their parliament which represents and are voted in by Zambians from all walks of life; You choose to address foreigners who don’t represent your country (and you neglect to address your countrymen and women who had their livelyhoods burnt at City Market)?? WHAT A SHAME, INDEED.
jealous down the man is becoming powerful in southern Africa because of PF stubbornness. Now you being humiliated for his popularity. Before then HH could not be called because he was not known but now everywhere its HH
Becoming “powerful” before white racists? UPND have a misplace agenda. No wonder it will never make GRZ
There are no votes for HH in SA. Misguided philosophy.
HH is Bull on steriods
But what is the reason behind lusaka times showing a liking button automatically on the comments when i have not liked it especially those opposing HH
I listened to his address…
HH still has a long way to go to win the hearts of majority of Zambians…
We all supported his tone at the cathedral the other day and we thought maybe this time around this man will do things differently….Not at all.
From what hes talking about and his association with these sworn racists which Zambia fought to liberate South Africa. he should forget about becoming president for now. He’s still raw!
Sir/Madam, it is normal stuff to thank people. these people came out here to support him. to ignore them is lack of appreciation.
In the first place this shouldn’t have been news here, the visit has no bearing on the Zambian political front and this man is hell bent on tarnishing the image of Zambia so long he is not president. What will he do if in that one millionth of a chance he becomes president?
WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT DA AND SA FOR UPND.
VOTERS ARE HERE IN ZAMBIA AND NOT THOSE DA MPS.
It is so refreshing to see an African man without a bald head. HH you are very good looking and your presidential portrait will make Zambia proud.
Oh my my… potato oval head.
If he so wishes, he can address the house of commons, congress or even UN assembly. But satana uyu takatekepo mu Zambia.
The president should find a genuine political adviser to avoid embarrassment in future.
Zambians r so misinformed & do not read. With the current state of SA & Zuma heavily messing up, the DA might be in the next government in 2019. PF was in opposition & now they in power. As for the number of white MPs, the ANC has a sizable number of white MPs. Even a couple of ANC Ministers are white.
We all know that the DA would not bring back apartheid if it came into power, but the reality on the ground and belief is that if a white person like Helen Zille were to be in power they would bring back apartheid. This is a perception that prevails in the black community. We all know the majority black people are impoverished in SA because of white people and policies implemented by the apartheid government. Black people might have forgiven what the architects of apartheid did to them, but they certainly have not forgotten how life was under the leadership of a white person.
Ba Zamani Boza! DA pakuti ikateke patali. If anything, EFF stands a better chance. There is no sane black South African who would leave ANC for DA. One would rather go for anything that is purely black… That is just a cold fact.
12.1 EFWENI B HIBALWA
If the blacks in S.A. are impoverished because of the whites , why is it that the majority of Zambians are living poverty existing on 1 dollar / day ?
Pilato,
Very wrong. The DA currently 4 big Metros in SA i.e Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town & Mandela Bay (Port Elizabertha). They got them because a lot of ANC supporters voted for them. In the 2014 General Elections, they ate a good of ANC voters.
Zamani Boza
The DA is running those councils as a coalition with EFF.
Dont lie about DA popularity in areas other than Cape Town.
Leta nabumbi ubufi
By the way annual inflation rate has reduced by 0.3% … viva PF!
so if inflation has gone down according to your analysis what difference does it make when it has no effect on the value of commodities? Inflation can even go to zero but prices will never be reduced.
Ubunga umutengo walibwela panshi

But CHakubaba Tate anyway ni soche.
The DA is a reincarnation of the National Party that brought Apartheid to South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe. HH is copying the same tactics of thinking Tongas should rule.
“In any normal democracy, when citizens are unhappy with the incumbent government, they vote for the opposition party. But this is not the case in South Africa as black people prefer to go out in the streets, burn tyres, burn down buildings and damage government property, rather than vote for the DA. Black South Africans would even go as far as boo the president of the ANC in front of world leaders (as it happened at FNB Stadium during Nelson Mandela’s memorial) to express their dissatisfaction with ANC leaders…”
HH will continue to behave like this until 2021 when again he is going to run out of time in his bid to win the hearts of the 6.5 provinces. HH should have gone back to the people and thank them for their votes and ask for more come 2021. Going to SA will not win him votes here. Let him concentrate on removing the tribal scar on the UPNDs face. Who are his advisers kanshi?
I always wonder why HH has maintained his advisors. I believe he has surrounded himself with people who do not know how politics in Zambia works. They are blinded with the wish to rule that they don’t see the reality on the ground. Hooking himself to the DA is a taboo to most African leaders and Africas in general. What does HH gain being a hero to the aparthied party and a zero to other African parties. It boggles my mind
Chipuba umu fyashi uyu
HE IS FIT TO REPRESENT THIS COUNTRY ANYWHERE. NOT ICHICHIMBI ATA.
Only on social and misinformed International media as well as his cult party…
Im impressed with GBM’s recovery after being evacuated ‘on oxygen’ just a few days ago. Was he again fearing Mwami-1 would raid the Cathederal as part of his now common cowardly escape antics ?
Is GBM not in hospital??? This is cheating the court and the Zambian people. I even wrote, “we miss you GBM wish a quick recovery.” But he had gone for meeting. Shame on GBM. That’s why they will not rule because of ‘Boza kwambiri’
GBM is becoming irrelevant !
That’s my president wrote there! HH rocks!
That’s my president right there! HH rocks!
Frederik Willem de Klerk of NP the last white president and first vice president to Mandela was better opposition leader than Maimane of party.
Let them form the Africa Opposition Parties Association (AOPA) because that’s what they will forever be ….DA can only win in Cape province.
Comment:
And so it turns out that the UPND is a party of reactionaries, associating with fellow reactionaries, in DA. SAD!
Frederik Willem de Klerk of NP the last white president and first vice president to Mandela. Who was the first to be invited by Chiluba to open Agriculture and Commercial Show if not Trade Fair. He was better opposition leader than Maimane of DA party. No wonder he received the NOBLE PRIZE for releasing Mandela from prison. Edgar Lungu should also be given NOBLE PRIZE for releasing HH.
It looks like a lot of people from this party NP have joined DA well done Maimane keep it up in opposition in a network of opposition parties in the region.
Ukupelelwa amano instead of addressing the UPND MPs who have there for the same goal to represent those who elected them. HH and his entourage are busy addressing South Africans who have nothing to do with Zambia. Surely a person with five senses must think twice what directionless / visionless their Leaders are, the poor people in Shango’mbo, Dundumwenzi who spent the all day to cast their votes in favor of HH and his people have no representation for their needs when the President of the party they so adored is busy mingling with foreign MPs who will never ever stand in Zambia.
I now believe the late Micheal Sata’s words that some people are babies in as far as handling political issues is concerned. It doesn’t mean when one has passed through University that he has the wisdom to…
……who are there…….
Ok so he is talking about 2021 shy of acknowledging that ECL is the president and he has accepted the ECZ results. I think he should be addressing UPND telling them that he has accept 2016 results and to focus on 2021 and in the meantime support the government. Presidence simela monga meno… Come 2021 you are losing again
Haaahaaahaaaaaa, HH is the president of the Opposition parties in Southern Africa, just seen him in the picture opening the parliament with is sick Vice president GBM comfortably seated whilst listening to the official opening of the Opposition parties parliament ……..
The never smiling HH.He can’t make a good portrait.That man has no love for anyone apart from himself.He can kill just to be in statehouse.
The Supreme Leader HH of the UPND will never rule Zambia now I believe…He had the audacity to address the white Supremist party and thank them and forgotten about the Catholic Bishops in Zambia who started the laying ground for his release but for inferiority complex he thanks the racist party…Instead of saying God willing once Zambians vote for his UPND, he’s says once he’s in power in 2021 someone must tell this Dude that God’s ways is not Man’s ways…
Kikikiki ngati chakubaba go hung yrself! HH is the man!
Chababa Boi Ba PF eeh! Sivintu winangu azazi mangilila
But who is in Power though? LOL…
GBM no kneel problem now!!!
Maimane and HH you have disgraced yourselves in parliament. Zuma has told you off that they don’t interfere in other country’s domestic affairs. What a shame. Oval head you should grow.
Maimane does NOT learn JZ tells him off in parliament all the time!
LETS SEE IF CHAKOLWA WILL BE ABLE TO ADRESS EVEN RATS IN ZIMBAMBWE.NO SANE MAN CAN ALLOW HIMSELF TO BE ADRESS BY A VOTE THIEF.
Check SABC News now. Your useless HH is sitting in the gallery. What type of gust is that?
Sweetness, ECL would rather address RATS than those RACISTS your Oval Head is addressing. What a shame.
HH is a great man bless his heart .
Going to a sovereign country to celebrate with the oppositing is not a wise thing to because you put yourself in bad standing with the ruling party… You also makes a statement that opposition is your destiny. What does Maimane and HH have in common? Just wondering
Unfortunately the DA MPs can’t vote in Zambia………
This is another blank shot by HH. It is these gestures that do not add value to their political careers. This will make them cry once more in 2021. The constitution of Zambia is not about to change to allow musi’s mps to vote in Zambia. ECL give these chapps enough ropes to hang themselves. Let them trot around and say all shallow things about themselves. Even musis’s mps can see the calibre of this man, but as usual they will keep quiet and only lough behind closed doors. It is good for Lungu because Zambians know who is who. The cheque books are not the same as votes.
I hope you were a UPND adviser to this Oval Head One Zambian.
Awe it’s clear that chababa. When HH speaks the wise listern….he is not like chakolwa who can’t speak clearly thts why he owez avoids public speeches/debates. It’s so shameful. He can’t be given any audience anywhere. Forward forward wth HH!
What matters are Zambians’ voices in the ballot box.Shadow boxing can never take anyone to State house.The “unless its me Syndrome” is killing Zambia.The other problem is that HH babbles too much in confidence.How sure is he that 2021 UPND will win.That’s why he fails to accept the election results ELC & Pf have got also their shot comings but suffice to say they have recorded tremendous infrastructure development across the country.They are performing above average despite UPND trying to make their work unattainable.
These guys are serious! They have a “coup d’état” agenda! This guy must NEVER have been released! Delusional forces thinks he must replace the hard-working Zambian president so that they can receive kickbacks! Zambians beware!
Now I see why they think the little boy is “Mandela!” Wow! The Under FIve Card is not even fit to be described in the same sentence as Mandela! Even Chama Chakomboka was better!
@HaMwila, #44, you are right! (Delusional!)
That s my man ? 1 HH,can lungu do that? a Big NOOOO,this government should learn something from HH,mama,mama,HH is a real man jealous down ?,HH is the only heard of state RSA know not lungu ,Jonathan kikikiki
There is a saying in vernacular that says “For the hyna to show strength, there must be a place where it is leaning its buttocks!”
Its butts!
So hh and gbm lied to the court that they were sick and yet they want to lead this country one day. If they can lie about their health now what more if they were to rule. I cannot wait to phone my friend in SP to hear the lies upnd supporters are spewing regarding hh’s visit to S.A.
The DA agenda, is for the many white South Africans who want out of SA and Economically invade another country. Zambia is just that ideal place they believe. They will capture our state so easy that we will even be playing Chimbuya with white people!. Zambians vote wisely, the thieves are coming after 2021. What agenda has DA with the puppet Maimane, who doesnt respect a seating president to do with Zambia? He represents a crude brute of shrewd capitalist ad racist gang that only serve white interests. We did well to totally emancipate ourselves and regain full sovereignty over our land and resources to later again enslave ourselves and the future generation to capitalist Communists like the Chinese and now another Angel of death under the disguise of investors and “friends” are about…
Kikikikikiki….! wandepula iwe.. “icimbuya nabasungu! kikikikiki!
I have believed that pf is party of low thinking people,surly how can they comment on this matter which their leader failed to do the same which 1HH is doing,if I was one of you I would remained mute,it’s fine we understand you guys,akansoni mwalilufwa kikiki ,forward to hear from Amoss,Fr bwalya ,mumbi p,go go go HH GBM CK MAMA MUTALE UPND,
If a Democrat in America or a Republican went and spoke to a Russian opposition party, hell would freeze over kikiki.
What does UPND and the DA have in common to be sleeping in the same bed?
Why insult the sacrifice of many Africans who lost their lives in trying to free themselves from the shackles of white supremacy?
Why should we bow down to white capital in the 21st century?
There is little black capital in SA and reasonable Africans are supporting the ANC to restore what was brutally stolen from the indigenous pipo.
What on earth would Zambians benefit from such prostitution by the UPND?
Interested parities to the sell of Zambia and “Zambian goods!” Privitazation II in the making! Money can buy a country! Alas! Under Five will NEVER be a president anywhere in the world!
#54, your “name” shows you as a high thinker? The delusions UPND have stinks! That is why you are a party of Under Fives! South Africa will soon elect him as President of Soweto!
Most of those white people siting in that room where HH is telling a political story know the truth because they have their friends who tell them the truth. So let him lie to himself and Musi. musis party the DA has only 10% of the stake in SA politics, for those who think that Musi is about to take over from ANC.
How many MPs has South Africa got for DA to have over 100 MPs or does the number include the provinces parliamentary members ? Please correct the impression otherwise it’s another ” PVT “.
By this act, HH is guilty of Political espionage.
He must be escorted back to prison the moments he lands in Zambia
HH is just messing himself up by his associations with the likes of Maimane and Malema. His desperation for power that leads him to even solicit for economic sanctions on this country is disgusting.
I feel sorry for HH and his followers. Look at the DA and Malema. Despite not believing in Zuma there MPs are in parliament. Despite the problems in SA they have never gone to another country to speak bad it. Look at Kalusa wesu is all over tanishing and burning markets for the country he wants to rule. One thing that HH should realise is that is going no where and in 2021 he is losing. This time he would hv been going round apologising than ever expecting DA to change things in Zambia. Shame on this man if he was a seed i would hav not planted him
Mr. HH. The first thing you should have done and after those prayers you held last week, should should have ACKNOWLEDGED President Edgar Lungu as the president of the Land of Zambia. This is your test, and you should pass it. Once you do this, you will see God begin to fight for you , if really the PF stole your VOTE, Jehovah can give those votes back to you in 2021,with a larger margin that there will be no need of ELECTION PETITIONS . God can’t begin to fight for you if your FISTS are not OPENED. Think about it. GOD does not operate in the REALM OF MANKIND. All the leadership and everything man knows is borrowed from God. So HUMBLE your self.
I am glad elections are done in Zambia!
