United Party for National Development President Hakainde Hichilema this morning addressed a mammoth rally at Mbila, Itezhi Itezhi District, Central Province.

Mr. Hichilema in his address to the people of Mbila area in Itezhi Itezhi District, Central province, announced that he remains committed to ensuring a united, prosperous and equitable Zambia, devoid of violence and hate.

And the UPND President has called on the country to unite more than before and stop any possible injustices as is the case now, in order to foster development.

During his address to the local people of Mbila, Mr. Hichilema also thanked the people, the church, the civil society organizations and the international community for standing up for him when he was arrested and detained on flimsy charges.

And Mr Hichilema has committed that he will use his 127 days incarceration to turn around the country’s future especially economic emancipation and governance.

The President of the UPND is on firm ground that he holds no grudge against those who engineered his arrest, arrested and detained him for 127 days as he believes that if he is to pay back by punishing them, the country would not see the difference between him and those who tortured and brutalised him.

And the UPND President who is in Itezhi Itezhi to drum up support for the Party Council Chairperson candidate, Mr Shalooba, appealed to the people of Mbila area to vote for UPND in the August, 15 elections while emphasising that UPND will provide exceptional leadership across all sectors of governance that is before, during and after being in government.

Mr. Hichilema is accompanied by the Party Chairperson, Ms Mutale Nalumango who also stated that there is need of restoring rule and law in the country.

And the Leader of the Alliance Democracy for Development (ADD), Mr. Charles Milupi who called on the Mbila people to praying for the UPND President and the party in order to continue with the struggle for the country’s democracy.

  1. Fantastic! This is what I tell politicians. Power is in the people. You just have to concentrate it in one man for it to be effective.

    • That ediot “Sharon” has not seen this story yet. She and other Tonga hating PF clowns will soon be typing incoherent sh!t about UPND and Tonga’s here.

    • Zambia is burgeoning democracy. Let politics of ideas and authentic national interest have its way in a competitive democracy. All the best.

    • Bottomline, intellectuals start thinking of stepping for national leadership. More of you in the arena, the better. Our collective enemy is the raging poverty, tribalism and corruption. These vices are Zambia’s existential threats Government of the day cannot afford to inherently ignore. They are clear and present danger to nation security and cohension. Anyone who will understand the issues confronting the masses and pitch a sellable redemption plan, will strike a winning code.

    • Yeh, this brother is laying down excellent ground rules (basics) and, he is reflecting words and phrases of a prudent leader. HH is not a transactional leader nor a situational leader, but he is very consistent with transformational leadership qualities. Furthermore, HH is unlike the lunatic villain (Lungu) who often combines transactional and autocratic leadership styles at the expense of poor gullible Zambians. Villain Lungu and strategic PF disciples play on ordinary Zambians including perceived enemies with dissenting views. The PF pits neigbhours against each other for the sole purpose of maintaining their relevance. The PF has overstayed its uselessness in the community and it is time for them to pack and disappear. Most Zambians do not need them (PF) at all. Viva HH and UPND.

    • It is like you are in your house and you address the family and get excited that you have 100 percent attending your address.

      Obvious a mammoth rally for HH in itezhi itezhi has never been news at all.

      What is new about wearing your usual suit which your have been wearing for over 11 years?

      How does that become news, “He has won his suit!” So what?

    • @Ndobo, kkkkk, I wondered whom Mwenya meant… Makes sense.
      Unfortunately, John the Baptist was beheaded and Messiah cruscified by thugs like PF.

    • @Advise, sure addressing 100% of your family. How about PF who cannot even attract full attention of their spouse in their bedroom. You fail even to get 100% of one person in your bedroom.

    • LT IN DUNUNA REVERSE GEAR

      “…Mr Shalooba, appealed to the people of Mbila area to vote for UPND in the August, 15 elections…”
      And I am like, is LT backwards, this is 9/13, man.
      Meanwhile, impressive turn out, alas, we are used to these kinda’ crowds. Nothing new. Good luck.

    • The fact of the matter is this- the State has failed on a number of fronts such as the maize floor price, no support for small businesses and too much regulation, haphazard and poorly planned infrastructure projects,policies that favour a select few such as the lifting of the exportation ban of maize which only a select few are able to afford to export, the exercise of getting a permit is expensive and very complicated, high costs on expenditure of top govt officials, MPs, SUVs yet simple improvements on prisons have been ignored. People will be the final judge- we still have 3 years to go- some of us have made the warning and people at the top have ignored us! Kaizer Zulu, Mutati, Dora and other traitors to MCS vision will be the first to abandon PF when this happens-better to offload…

    • The numbers have always been favoring HH in Tongaland. Just like kambwili said, even jesus has few followers in itezhitezhi.

    • So wonderful to see the real people’s president out there. What a breath of fresh air than the regional trotting fake of a pretender president we currently have.

  2. This must be commendable on the part of Mr lungu, letting the UPND have rallies as they see fit as long as they are not breaking the law.. ….

    If you are working there is no need to brutalise the opposition, your works will talk for you.

    Amen.

  3. That ediot “Sharon” has not seen this story yet. She and other Tonga hating PF clowns will soon be typing incoherent sh!t about UPND and Tonga’s here.

  4. Let’s see how far he can take it this time.

    7 times fall, 7 times rise. Every stick in the bush has it’s hole, and even this man will have his place in Zambian history. At this point, I can’t tell exactly where – only time will tell.

  5. This under 5 party as usual it’s puffed up as though they have won elections already. We know in your tribal areas you will win with landslide but wait for North, Lusaka, copperbelt and east to teach you a lesson.

  6. Jonathan is incapable of attracting a genuine crowd, he has to ferry cadres from Lusaka and other places in bus loads to where ever he’s addressing a meeting. It’s usually a pretend crowd for Jonathan.

    • No one has time for Jonathan’s boring speeches. He usually has nothing to offer, he doesn’t inspire any hope whenever he speaks.
      He has no vision for the country, other than the harp hazard billion $ dollar debt accruing construction projects he calls development.

    • dear mafikizolo

      i hope this letter reaches you in good faith, dear mafizolo of you did not notice these pretend crowds have seen PF beat UPND three times yet UPND was formed before the pretend crowds PF did, maybe you can copy and paste some ideas of pretend crowds and hopefully by the grace of our heavenly Father the alpha and Omega, Elohim, El shadai , Yahweh, El olam, Adonai Jehovah jire, the lion of Judah UPND maybe able to win in the year 3000. it’s all about faith and determination

      yours sincerely breaker

    • Dear jo transgender…

      IT is worthy rlto mention lungu can never win nor has ever won a free and fair election without using state violence it is also worth mentioning that have just spent 10 billion US he still had to rig……that Mr jo transgender is a moral defeat…..

  7. I do not subscribe to calling people donkeys! I think it is not right to call people donkeys! However, I know that in the Bible a donkey once spoke! I am sure @Nose demons, @Spaka like lilo, @HaJayJay and friends have read about it!

    • for your own good, you need to deal with your bitter hatred for the southerners.
      Voting is not always about winning, it’s about making wise choices.
      I must say to you that am neither Tonga nor a UPND member.

  8. How do you pretend to be a crowd I wonder? You surely cant be where you dont want to be, transport or not can you? WELL COME TO THE NEW ZAMBIA. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

  9. the problem with this man is that he is never wrong, did the police have nothing better to do than follow that clown of man to his home and paper spray his private parts and pooop on his bed (according to HHs theory) clearly this man is a political clown because he is the only opposition to write a congratulatory letter to Trump, and he claimed he called Trump and discussed corruption, kikikiki, how I laughed, who would believe the stories of a man who claims to talk to Trump all the time, fwaka tileke

  10. Illiteracy and ignorance in the party is really appalling! Many believe the election is NEXT week! Remember they are from Namwala Constituence! Rural if you want!

  11. Under Five Card! The president has just been in power for about a year! He has four more years and the rate he is working nor Under FIve card will be electable in four years! Even when he gangs up South Africans! Kekekeke

  12. You mean to tell me, in 16 years UPND has not found anyone else that is presidential material. This is the problem with African politics; the people are too sheepish.

    • And the best PF could find was mutati and siliya for key ministries ???

      Are you telling me in the whole pf they are all theives and hopeless to an extent that MMD had to be brought in gor those key ministries ??

    • Alternate where you ?, PF are all theives and could not find anyone suitable amongst them selves for 2 key ministries what an unpleasant indictment of the calibre of PF.

      The tourism ministry , another key ministry which was manned by pf has been rundown and in decline…….

    • Nzelu; we just don t want any leader. HH is dynamic; he is intelligent. He is CALM; COOL; AND cOLLECTED; need I say more. You go ahead and change your leader if it is your desire. It is your right.

  13. @Fire & Fury, #4, Sharon never puts up with ignorance! She never spares Namwala mentality but she loves the Tonga! You are wrong!

    • You my dear are a classic definition of ignorance and vile tribal hatred. Very opposite of the Christian you claim to be.
      The fact you maybe typing from within the USA doesn’t make you less ignorant.
      Am pretty sure you are no more than a form five drop out from Zambia.
      Leave tribal and regional connotations from your comments, focus on productive details, we are all one.

  14. PLEASE LEAVE HIM ALONE. THESE ARE THE SAME CROWDS THAT FAILED TO USHER HIM INTO STATE HOUSE. LET HIM SPEAK. IF THE PEOPLE LOVE HIM, THEY WILL VOTE FOR HIM. PERIOD.

    • That is the spirit my friend….and if Mr lungu and PF provide jobs they will be listened to….this what we have been calling for free and fair democratic Zambia where Anyone is free to chose who they like as their leader without being subjected to state sponsored brutality..
      .

  15. These are massive crowds. Jonathan Lungu thought he had finished HH by incarcerating him for 127 days on Trumped Up Treason charges.Well the man is now 10 times more popular. HH is now a National Hero. All these crowds want the Petition Heard in Court without fail. Forward with HH chabe!!

  16. Well articulated my man HH. We know you have a vision and a transparent mind , so please lead the way and get Zambia out of this nasty corruption and poverty. We know you’re not a thief like the others . You made your own money through your hard work … n’gombe _ naturally , as is done where you grew up from . Well done , what a crowd of followers !! My house hold will jump on the plane to vote for you !!!

  17. PF and UPND (Real jokers), though HH is consistent and can turn around our fortunes. For now its chipante pante. HH should go talk to Kambwili and talk to him nicely and get data. Of course real data and not who was staying in the garage or the boot

  18. It is like you are in your house and you address the family and get excited that you have 100 percent attending your address.

    Obvious a mammoth rally for HH in itezhi itezhi has never been news at all.

    What is new about wearing your usual suit which your have been wearing for over 11 years?

    How does that become news, “He has won his suit!” So what?

    I know that Lusaka Times do their best to look for news and salute them for that. They don’t create news they only report and of course this is all there was to report, so what do you expect them to do?

  19. Kikikikiki this is how upnd miss it.
    HH ATTRACTING A HUGE CROWD IN BANTUSTAN AREA LIKE ITEZHI TEZHI IS NOT NEW!! HH’s upnd will win in such areas in 2021,2026,2031,etc.even that Shaboola thing has already won that seat under upnd.to test his popularity in PF strongholds( 6.5 provinces),HH could have gone to campaign for upnd candidates standing in Muchinga province.BUT AM SURE EVEN HIMSELF(HH) KNOWS TOO WELL THAT UPND CANT WIN IN THE NORTH,HENCE GOING TO CAMPAIGN IN ITEZHI TEZHI.
    Take note;upnd will win in itezhi tezhi and in any bantustan area WHILE PF SHALL ALSO WIN ON 15/09/2017 IN ITS STRONGHOLDS!!so if HH’s upnd cant start winning in PF strongholds,then even in 2021 or 2026,HH will lose!!WHEN SATA’S PF WAS ABOUT TO DEFEAT MMD GOVNT BEFORE 2011,HE STARTED WINNING BY ELECTIONS IN…

    • I also thought it was going to be wise for HH to start trying to get voters in non UPND strongholds.That is the only way he will get to plot 1.Otherwise if he goes to his relatives and thinks he is popular…he has something else coming come 2021. Let him make very strategic alliances to amass votes in non UPND strongholds . He really has the momentum to whitewash the current regime,it’s all about how well he will execute this time around. otherwise those talking petition are a lost cause.one year has passed and nothing will come out of it. “The decision of the CONCOURT is FINAL “. So HH needs to plan for 2021.Petition is water under the bridge.Let him learn from Odinga on how to successfully file a PETITION.

  20. Its like president Edgar Lungu addressing a mammoth rally in Lusaka,copperbelt,Luapula,Northern,Muchinga,Eastern and bemba speaking areas of central-SURELY CAN THAT BE NEWS?NEVER BECAUSE THOSE ARE KNOWN PF STRONGHOLDS!!!
    PF can only be excited if president Edgar Lungu addresses a mammoth rally in Monze,Dundumwezi,Namwala or any known upnd stronghold.
    BO HH START ADDRESSING MAMMOTH RALLIES AND TURN THOSE MAMMOTH RALLIES INTO VOTES IN THE NORTH AND EASTERN PART OF ZAMBIA WHERE YOUR UPND HAS BEEN LOSING SINCE 2006!!many Zambians know that Mr Anderson Mazoka’s upnd won in the North and Eastern Zambia in 2001.BUT HH’S UPND HAS FAILED TO THERE FOR MORE THAN 10 YRS!!

  21. With all the stolen weajth, what has Hakaivotela humwine done for. his own people
    The guy is selfish. Typical of his tribesmen. Akaso!

  22. What a lot of pipo are missing , that HH has stayed loyal to his party, to his beliefs, to his party beliefs, whereas many others are political prostitutes playing politics of the paunch…… To me it appears HH has the strenght of character to stand by his ideals even in adversity.
    Sharon, jo breaker terrible et al pf I am not a UPND or any party political sycophant, imjust want zambia to find a way to realise its potential without selling it to chinese

  23. I must say I am glad that Lungu haa allowed opposition parties to gather peacefully unlike the past years. He seems to be a good person surrounded by wrong advisers. It is also good for Kambwili to be on the street backing to the wind. Thanks HH for your wisdom, we are proud of you. You will rise again

  24. Bemba people you are tribalists don’t look at that HH is better than your Chipata lawyer. He says he is a Lawyer when he does not know what are human rights.

  25. “And the UPND President who is in Itezhi Itezhi to drum up support for the Party Council Chairperson candidate, Mr Shalooba, appealed to the people of Mbila area to vote for UPND in the August, 15 elections while emphasising that UPND will provide exceptional leadership across all sectors of governance that is before, during and after being in government” Am doubting the authenticity of this news. When will the bye election be held? I suppose this news was for last year. That’s the problem with coping old pictures

  26. @kubweka TALKING ABOUT HEARING THE PETITION NOW SOUNDS LIKE PLAYING A BROKEN RECORD. UPND HAD 14 DAYS TO PROVE THAT THE ELECTIONS WERE STOLEN. THE LAWYERS WASTED TIME ON IRRELEVANT PRELIMINARIES. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? IT MEANS THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE TO PRESENT. BESIDES THERE IS NO CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION TO HEAR A PETITION AFTER 1 YEAR. STORIES LIKE CHIVULA, 14,000 VOTES IN A BIN FOR MAUREEN, OR SOME GUY WHO VOTED 5 TIMES OR SOME CHITULIKA CONSTITUENCY ALL SOUNDS CHILDISH. WHY DIDNT THE LAWYERS BRING UP THESE ISSUES IF THEY HAD ANY MERIT. UPND CAN DO MUCH BETTER BY FOCUSING ON 2021. THESE CROWDS IN ITEZHI TEZHI MUST ALSO BE SEEN IN OTHER AREAS WHICH ARE PF STRONGHOLDS. HH MUST CONCENTRATE ON CONVINCING PF SUPPORTERS TO STOP SUPPORTING PF AND TO START SUPPORTING UPND. OTHERWISE THERE WILL…

  27. We were Madam Inonge Wina went to drum up support for the PF Candidate in this by-election. With these massive crowds she must have been drowned out by the HH huge rallies. Sorry Gogo try next time.It seems Mukobeko and Chikombaila Prisons have transformed HH into a Hero. In fact he is the defacto President. Forward with HH chabe.# Let the Petition be heard in Court. They did in Kenya. Why cant they do it in Zambia? Mulandu tauboli!!

    • Defacto President? Remember that is what sent him to Chimbokaila. In fact he is lucky to be alive if it were in the States he could have been shot in Mongu.

  28. The headline & the article do not match or talk to each other. The author is certainly anti HH. Are these journalists really trained or we are just producing cabbage?

  29. Zambia votes in by election yet again there open hatred and tribalism. It is the uneducated and cadre political gangs that kill democracy
