HH defends his Chatham House invitation

Share

HH with the Award

UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema says he considers it a privilege to be invited to speak at the Royal Institute of International Affairs at the Chatham house.

Mr Hichilema who has come under fire from some PF officials for accepting the invitation said Chatham House is a world Leading Think Tank based in London, United Kingdom.

He said several world leaders and some sitting Presidents have been invited in the recent past to speak at the Chatham House on issues such as International Affairs and policy directions.

“We are honoured to be invited too and give our speech at the same Royal Institute of International Affairs, and really we will endeavor to explain how our country can be a true icon of democracy, freedoms, remain economically strong and independent,” Mr Hichilema said from the U.K.

Mr Hichilema who arrived in London on Monday revealed that Her Majesty, The Queen has been the patron of the Royal Institute of International Affairs since her ascension to the throne in 1952.

He said the institute was granted its Royal Charter in 1926 by her grandfather, George V.

“As you may be aware, following an invitation to give a speech by the Royal Institute of International Affairs at the Chatham house, a world Leading Think Tank based in London, United Kingdom, we will as well tomorrow basically state our party’s priorities, role of the opposition parties in democracy among other issues related to good governance,” he said.

“After our speech at the Chatham House, we will then proceed to having interviews with various media houses that have invited us, we will again explain the vision we have for our country, Zambia, and how together we can move it forward and truly become independent on the lines of economic emancipation.”

  1. Great share with the world what you will do when you lose again in 2021 even Morgan addressed the same people they will listen to you you will part with your hard earned cash for a little publicity but those people don’t vote it’s us “cowards” who do

    • Chatham is not based in london – it’s in Kent.

      This is sharm.

      Invitation should have gone to President Lungu.

      You want to listen to the alpha and omega of Zambian politics and that ladies and gentlemen is Pres Lungu.

      I have a PhD

      Thanks

    • The Royal Institute of International Affairs, commonly known as Chatham House, is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation based in London whose mission is to analyse and promote the understanding of major international issues and current affairs. It is the originator of the Chatham House Rule and takes its name from the building where it is based, a Grade I listed 18th-century house in St. James’s Square, designed in part by Henry Flitcroft and occupied by three British prime ministers, including William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham.

    • Bana PhD, just stay in Scotland. Chatham house is in London, I guess you have never been to London or just past through busy looking at Nick. You are just chigogolo refugee with your (Pwanyanini Haku Donselela, aka PHD)

    • Indeed speaking at Chatham house is an honour. The incarceration of HH just made him a hero (which he isn’t) in the eyes of certain organisations. It was a serious own goal scored by the govt, other own goals are the maize price saga, the failed IMF loan bid. HH is a dictator who everyone knows made his money from privatisation thus making him a crook, however sadly the same govt of the day has elements in it that have made some very dodgy deals so its hard now for them to take the high moral ground which has been the govt biggest own goal. In other words the govt through its mistakes have handed HH victory in 2021.

    • I am positive someone is jealous. I always provided advice. Having a position or title does not make you powerful or known. Its what you do with that power that does. Using PF thugs and police to threaten people like expired Mugabe has done takes you no where and gives you a bad name. Be peaceful, humble and most importantly follow the law and not manipulate it to achieve certain thinga that include a title

    • How can he praise PF govt when from the very beginning PF has been butchering innocent souls in the name of the police. His house was raided at midnight with teargas and chemicals armed PF police officers. Besides that its clear Lungu stole his election. He breached the constitution to be sworn in by a court clerk. You expect him to be happy and smear you batter. He is not given space to speak on ZNBC and so its an opportunity to speak abroad where it covers more people than ZNBC.

    • @Mushota,
      We are happy for you, now that you know where Chatham is based, please pack your luggage and go meet HH.
      After his presentation he will be having interviews, that will be your opportunity. It will be more value-added to yourself and Zambians instead of you barking.

      Show us that you have PHD brains

    • HH Muntu sana elo balamutina ba PF, Like ten devils. They don’t talk about any other opposition leader. It is just HH, that’s the diarrhoea he has given them. He has been denied space on ZNBC, a public broadcaster he is entitled to, He is not allowed to hold rallies in Zambia but the man is still as strong as ever before. He is simply a darling of the country, love him or hate him, internationally and locally powerful.

    • KANONGA EBO

      First Lady Esther Lungu has arrived in Minneapolis, United States of America to receive the 2017 Humanitarian Honoree award from the Starkey Hearing Foundation.
      Mrs Lungu who arrived at Minneapolis’ St. Pauls International airport around midnight (local time) is accompanied by her Senior Private
      Secretary Florence Chawelwa and was welcomed by Zambia’s Charge`D’Affaires in Washington D.C, Joseph Chilaizya and officials from the
      Starkey Hearing Foundation.
      ZANIS reports that the Starkey Hearing Foundation nominated the First Lady to receive an award at the 17th Annual “So the World May Hear” award gala.

    • Mushota, Chatham house in London and the Borough of Chatham in Kent are different from each other. Improve on your research skills so that you may earn a real PhD based on a sound methodology and set of arguments.

    • @ MUSHOTA

      Not ifyakubepana pano. CHATHAM HOUSE is in London. I have been there, St James Square. I now believe you when you say you live in Scotland – so please don’t mislead people, no matter how frustrated you are that it is NOT Edgar Chagwa Lungu who has been invited – and now it looks even more certain that ECL will NEVER EVER be honored enough to be invited by CHATHAM ever.

    • For sure Chatham House is in Sevenoaks, Kent and not London. This was a retreat house during the Second World War by Winston Churchill. I personally have been to that house and attended meetings. Its a house with a good view of the Sevenoaks landscape.

    • Politicians can never be a hope for anything they are all the same, HH, Lungu, SATA, Chiluba, GBM, kambwili Munkobwe, etc are all hewn from the same cloth… smiling and humble today to get your vote, eating your liver tomorrow after the vote…. NEVER PUT HOPE IN ANY POLITICIAN, you will always be disappointed.

    • @20/20 Vision
      Is it really you or some imposter has hijacked your feisty self. You seem to have made a decision for a more balanced view to politics than most PF supporters here. Evidently you don’t support Hakainde BUT you are also one person who is not an outright hatemonger. The scariest human beings are those who are ABSOLUTELY convinced that they are ALWAYS right on every issue and on this site there are those like that. Certainly you are not one of those.

  2. Silly award. You are a merchant of the colonial masters and Zambians knows whom you are and will never allow to rule this great nation. Thank you for Joining the long list of longest serving opposition leaders in Africa.

  3. HH come and rule us we have suffered enough. While price of copper is good the PF has reduced the price of maize terribly with briefcase buyers buying K40 per 50kg bag in rural areas. How is the poor farmer going to send children to school?

    • But do you need HH to tell briefcase conmen to buy at higher than K 40 when this has been the price all along? Grow up man!

  4. It should be renamed Chatterbox House for all the nonsense speeches given there by empty self seeking egomaniacs

  5. This useless House n*ggar dances to the imperialist tunes and thinks they can install him in Plot 1.
    Cattle Boy (HH) thinks he’s one of them. Little does he know they’re using him. The supreme leader Hayatolla Hakainde thinks he’s white, a proud elitist conman who can’t relate with the common man.
    Kaponya is a sham, a retard at best.

    • Not everything in this world is about Plot 1. There are many other achievements and recognition that matter in one’s life. Where have you been invited yourself or gatecrashed!!!kikiki!

    • Kaponya says “… we will again explain the vision we have for our country, Zambia, and how together we can move it forward and truly become independent on the lines of economic emancipation.”
      You sold the mines and other national assets and bought shares in the same assets. You became rich from stolen wealth what emancipation can you bring us House n*ggar?

    • @7.1 for us normal people not everything in this world is about plot one. Unfortunately for your demented Supreme leader the Halpha Homega of UPND, it’s all about entering Plot 1, using any means possible.
      He’s busy canvassing the international scene seeking recognition thinking they can vote for him.

      Look at how he smiles when he’s in front of the imperialists? A big neggro smile of submission before his paymasters. It’s people like (HH) who make Africa weak

    • Compare that big white neggro smile of submission before the imperialists to the fake smiles when he kneels for votes among the poor in Kanyama and Chililabombwe.

      These are the type of House pets the Neo colonialists entertain. Next it will be a Nobel Peace prize for Kaponya, an enemy of democratic progress who was appointed to UPND by Kambela’s wife. A conman who has never held any intra party elections or convention for 12 years.

      What democratic tenets do the capitalist imperialists recognise? Definitely only those that suit them when it suits them.

      They need cheap House pets like this Privatization thief as puppets across Africa and the Middle East

    • Look at the type of international gangs he associates with and you will understand that this con man was not acting alone when he tried to depose our President in Mongu.

      Cursed is the day this modern day Uncle Tom was born

    • Slow down boy, mugabeism will not take you anywhere, hallucinations about imperialist and colonialist are a result of your taking a lot of genkem. Let go of ichimupashi icho iwe.

    • Thank you, Mr. Kudos. You have nailed it!!! That is a thorough, truthful and precise description of badaala. What a disgrace this man is to our nation. Pure “Old Man And The Medal” stuff!!!

    • Thank you @Divide & Rule,
      This “imperialist and colonialist” garbage is so ridiculous and prevents these people from thinking outside the box. They are still in Kaunda ` era and enjoying mugabeism.

      They insult the same hand that feeds them what a bunch of hypocrites !!!!

  6. …..After the speech at chatam house we will then proceed to have interviews with the media and explain to them what we intend to do in Zambia. EoQ….Kiki ladies and gents here is why this tribal leader always misses the target. Those 1diots there don’t vote in our elections. Your msg to them is a waste of time and energy. Why do you always think that foreigners can make you president. You need to convince the voters why they should vote a tribal leader against a drunkard.

  7. Your leader will be getting his award in december from his fellow dictator museveni what a shame.Every sane world leader knows that zambia is not in safe hands as some one is ready to kill to remain in power but the GOD we save will not allow him to kill instead it will be him in internal hell.

  8. Thats why we call him u5

    he has no stratagy.

    Does he know African history

    am sure the catholic bishops are just shocked.

    his own church never spoke for him because they know himm

    He is arrogant

    pompus

    egooistic

    rude

    sturbon

    tribal

    His friend in Kenya cried for a rerun. just wasted tax payers money.

    in zambia a rerun will never help u5 becaus his only partner is milupi ADD.

    u5 will forever go to the polls with 3 province .and even if turn up is 100% in these provinces he cant get 50+1

  9. When you see a white man drawing near to you check around your self, it means there is something they want to get from you, and they how to come to you for example ,when you are weak they pick on someone amongst the community to get what they want ,Africa was colonized using by giving gifts to chief and kings ,they look for someone with influence to penetrate through a society, check history and HH has been seen as a weak link because of his desperation to become President

  10. Congratulations my president HH. You have done us proud and I know that you are still being recognised. Let those who are jelous hurt but it wil not change any factor. They hurt becoz it is not their useless leader who was invited. I mean we all know that he can’t speak anywhere. What wud he talk about? The poverty that he has inflicted on the pipo of this land? Welcome HH you are great. May God continue to bless and protect you.

  11. Another Raila Odinga.Wasting peoples’ time on petitions which do not materialise.He thought the majority will sympathise with him.They came to realise that he was a time waster and opted to vote for Kenyatta.This is a lesson to opposition leaders who think the courts of law will give them the votes.Votes are won in a ballot box not in a dock of courts.When people decide,no matter a rerun,their decision will not change.He has even lost the little votes he had.It is a big shame!!!

  12. Hi HH,As you talk about your issues with London, Could you please ask those thieves when they will pay for the copper they got from Zambia during the colonial era. That copper is worth more than these loans IMF and the world bank are claiming from poor countries like Zambia. To some extent I think that money is the same they stole from us. Could you also push in a petition on our behalf for the return of the broken hill skull and other artifacts they stole from Zambia. What those colonialists did was and is still called theft, getting copper and our heritage without permission and not in exchange with anything.
    I hope you will talk sense instead of persecuting your own brothers.

  13. Haha HH you have given hurters sleepless nights I wonder if others will not end up commiting suicide. Huh it’s now all about you…that’s how strong and powerful you are. Mch love!

    • YES. u5 gives me sleepless nights. he like a neighbour who just shifted from the compound and plays loud music and you fail to sleep

      u5 should know that self praise stinks .

      These whites call you to a banquette.

      who paid for the air ticket

      who paid for stay and food

      u5 paid for his own recognition.

      the white man benefited

      when u5 says . AM A VILLAGER FROM BWEENGWA . you can see it from his annoyin attitude

    • u5 is like a neigbour who shifted from the kombon and plays loud music

      each time you try talkin to him he says you are just jelous. blaaa blaa . its hurting you because he ha a powerful music system and you dont have

  14. HH Muntu sana elo balamutina ba PF, Like ten devils. They don’t talk about any other opposition leader. It is just HH, that’s the diarrhoea he has given them. He has been denied space on ZNBC, a public broadcaster he is entitled to, He is not allowed to hold rallies in Zambia but the man is still as strong as ever before. He is simply a darling of the country, love him or hate him, internationally and locally powerful.

  15. I think HH has no right to talk about democracy when he became UPND leader without a vote and has refused to be subjected to internal elections to prove his popularity within UPND even after losing 5 times. The fact of the matter is that his tribe mates (I am sorry this may sound tribal but it is a fact) know that if HH was subjected to an intra party election and he lost to a none Tonga then they will lose the chance for a Tonga to be President. On the other hand if another Tonga took over it will confirm the tribal tag the UPND has worn since the take over of the party by HH. Its a catch 22 situation I am afraid.

  16. Where on earth do find an awardee defending his perceived merit of that award? It is up to the awarder to do so. This only confirms that this award is not meritorious but a bait. “How do you catch a monkey ” Great King Shaka asked. “Dangle before it something shiny or is it an African Freedom Medal? By the way, which Africa did HH help liberate? Oh dear me, I remember, it’s Dundumwezi “

  17. I am half Bemba and half Ngoni, I like HH. You can tell he understands issues very well, be it economics, politics, mannerisms, religious. Nobody beats him, that is when one analyses issues from the objectivity perspective and not from which party a person belongs to.

    • Me too i have no issues with this man. He can make a better president than Lungu but the only problem is that his tribesmen who can’t to see him at plot 1 are hardcore tribalists. Join a company where the head of a department is Tonga and see for yourself. Tongas and Bembas are no different.

  18. World class leader, that Zambia does not deserve, just has this world does not deserve Christ – Christ gives life, the world chooses death. So blinded by tribalism, Zambia can never choose a good leader. They rather choose death than life, poverty than better life. You can pray and fast the whole year, if you intentionally choose poverty God can not make your life any better. With God is about choices, so He can punish those who choose evil than good and those who practice tribalism above brotherly love.

  19. The imperialist ANGLO AMERICA want to consolidate COMMONWEALTH countries (mineral owned countries) around the global because of BRIXIT , Britain is busybody strategically to UNITES ALL monarchs like the Catalonia, Moroccan queen and Forkislands of Antlantic ocean an issue that almost brought breakdown of Argentino/British ties.This plan has extended even as far as Newslands and Australia though not fully implemented. The ANGLO-AMERICA just previously were in Congo DRC , Nikki HALEY the ambassador (US)SAID Congo should have elections in 2018 and she stated that regime should change but on the other hand she couldn’t talk about civil wars in eastern part of the country (kIvE district).All they are interested in are MINERALS and ZAMBIA is unexceptional, Now they are busy working with HH…

  20. @Mushota,

    All the websites state that Chatham House is based in LONDON – the word Kent never appears.
    Are all your statements so badly ‘researched’?

    And if you miss your picture, as you complained: Just look into a mirror, if there is one in the house; it will be up to date, and not a fake.

    Get well – soon please!

    • You are a TOOL

      I said Chatham is based in Kent, I didn’t mention or say anything on Chatham House

      Selective hearing?

      SOB leave me alone.

      Read and learn, I have a PhD so I must know one or two thing you dont.

      Stop living in denial, and yes Chatham is in Kent. The Garden of England.

      I am in Scotland.

      Thanks
      BB2014,2016

    • Somebody educate this suspicious PHD holder that you cant say one or two thing, it will always be one or two thingS with an s on the word, thing

  21. Even when babies are crying for no reasons, Mums find them toys to help them cool down. Dont worry fellow citizens, this is a way of cooling the boy after the 2016 loss and the eminent 2021 one.

    ECL for 2021

    • @Moshota
      You are sooooo silly, it’s beyond words.
      The topic was the Chatham House invitation of HH.

      And you think he was invited to “The Garden of England” to speak in front of ducks like yourself?
      Just shows that a so-called PhD is no guarantee that the holder is automatically qualified to do some logical thinking and contribute something meaningful.

      Get well – soonest!

  22. Me too i have no issues with this man. He can make a better president than Lungu but the only problem is that his tribesmen who can’t to see him at plot 1 are hardcore tribalists. Join a company where the head of a department is Tonga and see for yourself. Tongas and Bembas are no different.

  23. Why does HH have to justify himself to PF – is HH PF? CHATHAM HOUSE is one of the most prestigious think-tank institutes in the world. It is a privilege just to be invited by them. PF are losers and have very short memory, a characteristic of a group people with very low IQ – I’m very convinced that the collective IQ in PF is below the IQ of a monkey. Imagine, Michael Sata used to travel to address different audiences in UK where in fact on several occasions used to say very bad things about Zambia. At one time Sata even pledged to promote homosexual rights if he came to power. And today PF have the audacity to condemn HH for his travels, his speeches, his awards????? Hey may be PF have become UPND you know – you never know shinonshiku. Bwana HH, don’t worry about PF – it’s the last…

    • Only elitists and extremists think they are better than their fellow citizens. It does not matter who Chatham house is if it isn’t contributing (not financially!) to the well being of the common Zambian man. You can call PF people with low IQs below that of a monkey-IT JUST PROVES YOU upnd FANATICS ARE TRIBAL, HATEFUL AND ELITIST. That is why the majority of the country has continuously rejected you!!! You lost to MMD 3 times, to PF 3 times. Did Chatham house ever help develop countries like China, Brazil, India etc????

    • Iwe ka @ ZAMBIAN CITIZEN, what if I tell you I’m Bemba from Mporokoso, what are you going to say? What tribalism are you claiming about UPND? Chi-Tribalist niwebo you fool and people like you make me sick. You are the stinking tribalist and you go round accusing everybody to be a tribalist because in your s.t.u.p.i.d head you think everybody is a sick tribalist like you and that everybody who supports UPND is Tonga. Mwanya, ichalo chileisa. You are such a sick bunkum you need help.

    • Iwe ka @ ZAMBIAN CITIZEN, what if I tell you I’m Bemba from Mporokoso, what are you going to say? What tribalism are you claiming about UPND? Chi-Tribalist niwebo you chicken and people like you make me sick. You are the stinking tribalist and you go round accusing everybody to be a tribalist because in your low-IQ head you think everybody is a sick tribalist like you and that everybody who supports UPND is Tonga. Mwanya, ichalo chileisa. You are such a sick bunkum you need help.

    • Then you are a misled bemba man. Like GBM, you ignore truths and realities to support failed political dogma that has not worked for hh and his band of tribalists in the upnd. Yes, upnd is supported by the tongas heavily-who can forget what Akson Sejani said “only a tonga can head upnd”????? All my tonga and lozi friends are upnd by default unlike MMD or PF or FDD which has a diverse support base. Most disgruntled “founder” PF members and supporters who got kicked out for going against ECL have found refuge in upnd not because they agree with hh’s ideals but they use upnd to get back at ECL. I AM SURE YOU WILL PLACE YOURSELF IN ONE OF THESE CATEGORIES.

    • …and please, try to put up points in your posts; don’t show everyone how limited your small brain is by insulting when it heats up…

  24. This invitation is not different from these honounary degrees that have been given to the likes of Kambwili,GBM, Lusambo and Mumba. They simply have vested interest to gain something or they must show that they are working to promote the so called democracy. All they are after are business interests for our mineral wealth.

  25. What most African leaders think about these clubs abroad is that they are good because the skin colour to the contrary most of these guys are crooks with softistgated motives , you cannot expect a reward for what you havent qualified for and why should it be from Europe and not africa .
    These clubs have a well researched agenda which HH doesn’t have a clue about , these guys use any one they see to be their instrument for their. goal , while he is smilling like a cow they see a fool in him and wink about it.
    Come on they know your stupidity to sellout your nation like you sold those mines they want a repeat.
    Before you do anything think deeper, dont remain on the surface just imagine any small group people or how one individual from Europe claimed ownership of all africa from cairo…

  26. LET HH GO AND SAY WHATEVER HE WANTS TO SAY BUT THE PEOPLE HE WILL BE ADDRESSING AT CHATHAM HOUSE DO NOT VOTE IN ZAMBIA. IT IS ONLY AFRICAN OPPOSITION LEADERS WHO GO OUT OF THEIR COUNTRY TO DISGRACE THEIR COUNTRY. HAVE EVER HEAD THE SCOTISH PARLIAMENTARIAN OR FIRST MINISTER GO OUT OF BRITAIN AND SAY BAD ABOUT BRITAIN DESPITE ENGLAND OPRESSING SCOTLAND AND DRADING THEM INTO BRIXIT WHICH AS SCOTLAND THEY DID NOT WANT. THEY SORT OUT ISSUES INTERNALLY AND WHEN THEY GO OUT THEY UNIT. HH CAN NOT BE A TRUSTED LEADER AS YOU KNOW HE CAME INTO THE PARTY ON TRIBAL GROUNDS. I HOPE HE WILL TELL THEM THEIR THAT HE WAS AN OUTSIDER WHEN MAZOKA DIED BUT CAME TO THE LIME LIGHT AS A RESULT OF HIS TRIBAL AFFILIATION. I HOPE HE WILL ALSO TELL THEM THAT SINCE HE BECAME PRESIDENT HE HAS NEVER HELD A CONVENTION…

    • HATRED and bitterness is like you swallowing poison and expecting the other person to die. Chill, boss-boss. Mukafwilapofye ifya mahala. How much do they pay you? HH is coming, whether you like it or not. Haters used to say the same about Michael Sata, until we voted him into power elyo bashininkishe.

  27. PF haters are green with envy. What has HH’s invitation got to do with you? Why is it an issue that other people/institutions appreciate and value HH’s stand?

  28. WHY IS KALABA HALLUCINATING ABOUT WHAT HH SAYS. WHY HAS THE IMF SAID NO TO GIVING ZAMBIA ANYMORE LOANS?> WHY DID YOU GO TO”IMPERIALIST” (IMF) TO GET LOANS? WHAT NEXT NOW THAT THE IMF HAS SAID NOO? IF THIS IS NOTHING> WHY ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT HH’s MOVEMENTS? TIME IS APPROACHING FOR ALL TO SEE HOW MUCH MISMANAGEMENT YOU HAVE ACHIEVED. THE FIGURES WON’T BALANCE FOR 2017. THERE WILL BE NO MORE CONTRACTS FOR SALE AND YOU HAVE MISMANAGED THE FARMERS

  29. Me I kinda like these invitations and awards to under5, why?
    1. The boy will be exposed to civilised etiquette in politics, i.e. if he is capable of learning.
    2. He is being exposed…kikikikiki… if you know What I mean….kikikikikikikiki

  30. Small minds with next to zero byte memory forget that has been on that route when he visited the Vatican and other such secret societies. Many who address gatherings such as the Chatham Think Tank are normally marked for great positions by thise who move the earth. This is what has the PF running worried. Mark my words, PF maybe a Bonner.

  31. @36, PF may go in 2021, 2026 or even tomorrow, but under5 will not be the replacement. Change can and will happen in Zambia but it will not be under5.
    The guy talks about democracy and yet himself has been wamuyayaya, so how can he give democracy to Zambians when he can’t give his 3.5 regional followers? I will ask him that question at Chatham since I will be a panelist indirectly or directly.

  32. WINNERS NEVER QUIT BUT LOSERS. PF STOLE AND ARE CRIMINALS NO-WONDER LUNGU IS NOT CALLED TO SUCH AN IMPORTANT ACTIVITY. WHAT EVER PF CADRES MAY CRITICIZE, THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT HH HAS REPRESENTED ZAMBIA NOT EVEN A MINISTER OF FINANCE, HOME AFFAIRS OR ECONOMICS …, THIS REFLECTS THAT HH IS WELL RECOGNIZED. HAVE I HEAD AN EXTENDED INCLUSION OF OUR GOVERNMENT LEADERS, THE ANSWER IS NO…

  33. Terrible – you’re terribly right. Those of us from the wrong regions will ever remain under5 in the eyes of chicken -brained tribalists. But as the sun rises tomorrow, its the Zambians’ in manipulated vote that decides. Unless of course some people want to be wamuyaya natolafye.

  34. Ask Raila Odinga, how he lost and chickened out on a rerun. We know the motive behind the relationship between HH and white supremacists…Minerals and desire to exert a firm grip on former British empire.As a strategic move they opted for BREXIT so that they can have monopoly of decisions to re-colonise us without red tape from Brussels.TWAKANA. PF chabe 2021

  35. When people say HH will ‘never rule’ or like HE Micheal Sata refered to him as ‘under-5 politician’ , we should not run away from these two descriptions of him. HH has the fiscal power and to some extent, the numbers (Mostly in Southern, though) but he does not have the political tact to remain a formidable opposition. HH Should realise (Or be advised) that the talk of the ‘Petition’ will take him no where because even Muliokela knows that its ‘water under the bridge’ !
    HH correctly says there is a leadership crisis in the country but is he giving an alternative apart from crying how he slept on the floor and this pathetic word ‘petition’? The answer is NO.
    HH should exploit what is hurting the masses directly, poverty and such issues as the fire-tenders. Why should Kambwili have more…

  36. @38 Semeki, you must be suffering from short memory span. Or is it deliberate ignorance? President Lungu and his ministers and officials address the UN, the AU, SADC etc. Even First Lady Lungu does that, she is also invited and addresses prominent American and world NGOs. And they do a sterling job!

  37. ……Even First Lady Ester does that, she is also invited and addresses prominent American and world NGOs. And they do a sterling job! A good job for Zambia while under5 uses such opportunities to destroy his country…..kikikikiki

  38. Time will tell and time is a good school master! with the current trend of PF mismanagement, disregard of rule of law and rampart currumption the economy is going to blow in their faces and then we will see how long will the voters going to comfortable with tribal politics before poverty teaches them a lesson and bring them to their senses. HH will be voted into power out of need of change overriding tribalism – watch this space.

  39. @46 Life experience, take my free advice, under5 us not the change that Zambia may need. He has too much baggage, like his economic team includes corrupt GBM as his right hand man! Also consider this, under5’s political career began with his annointment on the basis of only a tonga can lead a tonga “party”, and he has never denied this instead he confirms it periodically.
    Simply put, under5 is not an alternative to any leader no matter how bad they may be, under5 is simply worse than any thing bad that may come on the Zambian political scene.
