PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu has described some party members who continue to want to remain as Patriotic Front members, yet are on hills and mountains insulting the party as ironic and stupid.
Speaking at the ground breaking ceremony for the Patriotic Front Regional Office and Convention Centre in Ndola, President Lungu described the politicians still sitting in Patriotic Front seats but yet rubbishing and insulting the party as ‘ichiwelewele’.
The head of state asked the aggrieved PF members to leave the party, noting that aggrieved members or those with different views do not have to insult the party publicly, but could air their concerns in-house using the many ways that the party provides.
He said; “only a foolish wife would insult her husband publicly but want to come back in the evening to eat at the household table.”
President Lungu retorted; “Those who do not believe in us please, leave us… You are either Catholic or Seventh day.”
Meanwhile, President Lungu said he is fixated to ensuring PF delivers it’s development agenda so as to recruit new members.
He said he is committed to taking the party forward and will welcome new members with love because that is what PF is all about.
President Lungu announced that PF was aiming to not only cross the prescribed 50 plus one but a with a whooping 65 Percent.
“I am here to show the love and warmth which Mr Sata left for us… we are a welcoming party, politics is about numbers and PF is here and will always be here, we all just joined it…”
And the president said that will not be intimidated into stopping his provincial visits because of aggrieved opposition claiming he is on a campaign tour.
The head of state, who landed in Ndola Copperbelt to mark his three day working visit, laughed at his critics and told them to start campaigning if they wanted because he is just doing his job.
“Naiwe kachite campaign ngaulefwaya (Go campaign as well if you want,) The next election is in 2021 if you guys want to campaign get
started, I am just doing my job,” President Lungu said.
He sternly reminded the opposition that, as Republican President, he is supervisor of the nation and in doing so can visit any part of the country he so desires.
“I am the supervisor for all ministeries, projects and the entire country. Ewo chilekalipa (whoever is hurting) can take me on,” he dared.
President Lungu noted that he is a politician and does not need to fight political battles using police or Anti Corruption Commission.
“By the way let me make it very clear, do not interfere with police or ACC. When they summon you ati harassment, political intimidation… what nonsense,” he castigated.
“The police will deal with every law breaker, whether opposition or in the ruling party. Ati Lungu is scared of me, he is using police to deal with me, nonsense.”
For his critics President Lungu highlighted; “Why should I use police to deal with political opponents.”
Meanwhile, President Lungu said that he is happy with the way the Patriotic Front (PF) party is working in ensuring that it remains strong in the Copperbelt province.
President Lungu said he will support the provincial leadership to ensure that it builds a regional PF office adding that the Copperbelt province is the heart of the nation.
The President said the PF in the Copperbelt province is moving on the right path as can be seen by the number of people joining the party.
He has since advised those that are criticising the party leadership to leave or offer constructive ideas which will help the PF move forward.
“PF is not my party or for Lusambo but for everyone. So stop segregating those joining us. Let them talk about 50 plus but us we are saying it is 65 per cent in the next election,” President Lungu said.
He said the PF is growing because it is able to resolve squabbles through dialogue whenever they arise.
And PF Copperbelt Province chairperson Stephen Kainga said the party has remained strong and that all party structures are working together to uphold the legacy of political dominance in the country.
Mr. Kainga has meanwhile told those who are insinuating that the party is divided to realise that its leadership is equal to the task.
He said the construction of the party conference hall will help to improve PF operations in the province.
And PF Secretary General Davies Mwila said leadership in the province has shown commitment in moving the party forward.
Mr. Mwila encouraged party officials to commit their efforts to ensure that PF completes the building of the conference hall which will have facilities such as lounge, offices for the President and Secretary General among others.
And President Lungu has thanked residents of Ndola for cooperating with both government and the local authority when they were moved out of the streets in an effort to combat cholera.
Mr. Lungu said government will at all cost support the people in ensuring that they trade in a good and conducive environment.
President Lungu has since instructed Copperbelt Provincial Minister Bowman Lusambo to launch a cleaning exercise and ensure that all sewer drainage system in the area are unblocked within one week.
The Head of State was speaking in Ndola today when he addressed traders at Masala market.
And President Lungu said he was saddened to learn that the area has no proper water supply and that most of the sewer systems are blocked.
He added that he will not allow people to trade in a dirty and filthy environment adding that people deserve better.
He promised to go back to Ndola in the next two weeks to ensure that this is implemented
President Edgar Lungu says government will not sideline the physically challenged people in the country but will instead work to improve their welfare.
Mr. Lungu said government will continue ensuring that the welfare of the physically challenged people in the country are addressed.
The President was speaking in Ndola today when he visited Kagonga farm for the physically challenged people.
And President Lungu regretted that the three boreholes which government allocated to service the area were sunk elsewhere.
He has since promised to have one borehole drilled at the farm.
He later donated books for school going children, calendars and pieces of Chitenge materials.
Meanwhile, Kagonga farm manager Patrick Miyenga said the farm is faced with a number of challenges which include transport, poor state of housing infrastructure, water and sanitation among others.
Mr. Miyenga said the infrastructure at the farm has ran down as it was constructed in the early 1990.
He said since then, there has not been any construction or rehabilitation works at the farm.
Good tell them!
Tell them but mind your language. It be must be reconciliatiory in nature

Your Excellency Felicitations, i think all the anarchy we see in politics can be atrributed to our work in progress flawed constitution you enacted in good a good spirit of our burgeoning democracy. I believe in it’s current context, we have problematic constitution. It is a recipe for unabated confusion. Amendments are inevitable to restore political order.
He looks vulgar in the picture. Is this the best the cameraman could do? This picture is not presidential.
There is now news here. This is sh!thole politics.
The patriotic behind police will not allow your opponents to hold rallies. They need permits even for visiting the markets. Can you level the planning field before you utter such drivel.
If you are the supervisor of all ministries then you are very ineffective just look at the auditors report!
And what do you mean………
“Those who do not believe in us please, leave us… You are either Catholic or Seventh day.”
Sometimes you need to act and talk presidential!
ECL has spoken! Umucinshi kuli ba Kateka!
The most inconsequential, incompetent and clueless leader to ever have emerged from Zambia, and arguably from Southern Africa even Africa. Zambian policy arena as a whole is dysfunctional and direction-less, institutional development and integrity and as a reflection of eternal Zambian values is long dead and gone under Edgar Chagwa Lungu. It will be a miracle if PF under ECL can cross the prescribed 50. Achieving a “whooping 65 Percent” for PF will be a pipe dream, a fantasy and if ECL’s current performance is an indicator, a PF “win” under ECL will mark the begining of the Republic. Zambians are enduring wasted years under ECL.
How did we end up with this insecure lazy thief who loves surrounding himself with bootlickers?? How??
THE PRESIDENT IS EXTREMELY RIGHT
####################
Why would a normal person insult family members publicly UNLESS they need serious medical mental attention. It is true bawelewele fue. I concur with you ECL. But you know what? They are afraid of political extinction out’a there. It’s rough, they wanna BE in confusion in-house appeasing the desire of their father who is the father of LIES. The father of untold confusion in the world. Agents of doom.
If he wins next election prepare for more insults because the more he stays in state house the more power gets to his head and the more he thinks he is holier than all of us
Thorn in the flesh – you are as dull as Lazy Lungu a Political Party is not a family as per say…there is more democracy in a family than under Lazy Lungu…infant it fallacy to use the example of a family. In any party be it UPND or PF anyone should have a shot at the top seat…these greedy fooools all need to sell themselves at Party level.
Visionless corrupt Lungu yapping with Lusambo on the left. He is scared of Kambwili hence camping in the copperbelt. Ba shushushu have told him to be careful with NDC and Kambwili.
THE PRESIDENT HAS SAID HIS OWN
=====================
Rejectamentas are bitter, truth hates. Amplified version: All those SO called Zambians insulting the president online and in public Jay squared included here, fiwelewele. How about that @Jay fimofimo 1.12.
Oppose the president objectively rather than in a subjective manner. Insulters make me feel like throwing up in their ugly faces.
Take out Catholic and Seventh-day, what are you left with?
Lungu2021 nafuti.
Why?
If someone advises you, you say they are disloyal so what do want them to do.
Simply look at that photo and look at the bootlickers with the smiles on their face!!
WHAT A VULGAR LANGUAGE FROM HIM.
WHEN OTHERS RESPOND WITH THE SAME LANGUAGE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT COMPLAIN.
Why can’t he just mention his name. We know he’s talking about Kambwili. Is he scared of him by not mentioning his name? Weak President, CK should take pride in all this because he’s in the driving seat and Lungu is scared of him. Go CK.
He is the only president in the world who uses unpresidential language. He is the only president who can eat 16 unwashed mangos in front of cameras. He is a good example of cholera proof.
He’s a foreigner who came to Zambia through Chawama. Whichever country he comes from they are immuned to Cholera. Now ye wants to kill all Zambians. Lungu go back to your country.
This man is very childish ati Ba kateka……how did we find ourselves having this man as a president? What is humble about this man ? Look at Botswana, Ian khama is so humble, his security detail is so low cost and when he talks it not about attacking other people because that is for small minds but abesu it is like he is not sure that he is president of Zambia.
This guy is not presidential at all. Language, kaponya fye. How did we end up with this maggot masquerading as president. He seems not sure if at all he is president. wasted years indeed!
KK called you “st.upid i.diots”. Wasn’t he Presidential?
Dissent within the party is healthy for democracy bwana Lungu. Its not gonna be “hand acclamation” style like when you got PF presidency in unusual manner.
Correct, but not when it is characterized by insulting your own Party and the leadership. That is not healthy democracy.
Harry Kalaba and Chishimba Kambwili, you have heard it for yourselves. please leave the party in peace stop scheming within and looking like you are smart. be alone and independent, stop it please.
Hopeless chataran ……he thinks simply unblocking sewers fixes the state of dilapidation and inadequate provision of sewergers ?
Someone tell this thief that sewers need repair and upgrading…..not just unblocking…
Ba Kateka balanda .Come 2021 we are burying Upnd for good!
Sosa, ichalo ch ilekumfwa.
Politics in Zambia is something else, I think Kalaba and Kambwili remain strong and fight the intruders that have taken over P.f don’t go anywhere, u are the sole owners of the P.f not Dora,Malanji, mutati,katambo,Anthonio Mwanza, Bowman etc. If they want u to leave then it should start with these people I have mentioned.
Its a sad sight we have brought this among ourselves at party level…I can not point any democratic party in Zambia. The only difference from the Chiluba years is potential challengers are not dying mysteriously!!
That is true Mr. President! “Ifiwelewele” are many! HaSpaka, HaJayJay, HaMweetwa, HaHH, HaLosers! They are not only in PF but in UPND! In the latter are more than in the party, sir!
That is true Mr. President! “Ifiwelewele” are many! HaSpaka, HaJayJay, HaMweetwa, HaHH, HaLosers! They are not only in PF but in UPND! In the latter are more than in the party, sir!
Sorry for double posting! Maybe it did so to show the seriousness of the problem!
Victor you have morphed into Sharon now…….has some one at that Washington embassy serviced you ??
Yah right “the seriousness of your mental problem @Sharon” See your therapist and ask to have your medication increased.
The entire PF “fiwelewele”
And that’s the reason why those with integrity have been resigning from pf.
And being told the truth that you are corrupt is not an insult, it’s a matter of fact
Suck it up and do your job jonathan.
There is a big Ichiwelewele and it has tu small Ifiwelewele!
The big Chiwelewele in the center of the photos above and the small fiweleweles right behind him
The arrogant fool
Sharon you are the big chiwelewele he is referring to. He is speaking to cadres which you happen to be, so the message can be addressed to you and the likes of luapula, njimbu and the rest who are not allowed to use their brains
nice one mr president,i think this is not the time for u to sit in your office but its time for u to move around the nation and get first hand information on the ground,check if there is implementetion of your programms
Fiwelewele type visionless cholera president no wonder they’d call your type “makwerekwere” down in South Africa.
“Speaking at the ground breaking ceremony for the Patriotic Front Regional Office and Convention Centre in Ndola,”
I wonder who is building this building…AVIC? Our the Chine firm constructing the hugely overpriced Ndola-Lusaka highway..some of the cash for those “hotel”is being extended that way.I remember UNIP building a 8 story building what happened to that? Shameless thieves
How come out of the 16 million Zambians this is the president? In my view, the president must be beyond petty party squabbles – he should be a uniting force – noti amafi so everyday
CHAGWA WAGWETSA DZIKO!!
This Mfuko Jonathan, is very contradictory!
Now he confesses to being supervisor of all ministries.
Just a few weeks ago he was abdicating all responsibility, & saying Cholera was NOT his problem but of others in his failing party, even going as far as blaming the opposition U.P.N.D. He also says He’s not responsible for the endemic corruption that we all know starts from Plot #1.
WHAT A SHAMELESS QUACK THIS CHAGWA.
The weekend is here and the Lazy Bum decides to take a working visit with PF bootlickers again…we need to kick out this tin!!
My eyes couldnt believe after watching on ZNBC TV a mammoth PF rally in Ndola today.Hope HH and his dreamers such as SPAKA LIKE TONGA watched!!there is no wind of Change in Zambia like in 1991 and 2011.PF is still very solid.numbers do not lie.wherever ECL went on the copperbelt today,huge crowds welcomed him.we saw the same huge crowds in Luapula last week when 4 ministers visited that province!!the PF leadership has a splendid strategy of visiting all corners of Zambia oftenly WHILE KAINDE AND KAMBWILI CONDUCT USELESS AND ENDLESS PRESS CONFERENCES IN LUSAKA!!going by what we are seeing,indeed ECL and PF will win by more than 65% in 2021!!a number of politicians are joining PF from the opposition while nobody is leaving PF including those IFIWELEWELE who are not wanted in PF.they still…
Edgar has set the agenda for upndees again as usual, otherwise what else can they talk about?
I tell you its painful to be a upndees cadre or leader, just see how h.h is crying from the pain of Mukobeko and other little things that will not bother any normal person.
Actually i pity you, it must be very painful to be stuck up in that mindset of yours. Am not a cadre, never been one to sing praises to a mere politician.
Chàchine fiwelewele
By the way where is that f.ool ati pirate, pilate or something like? I mean the do.nkey who sponsored to south africa by h.h and abandoned there? You mean we have already forgotten the i.diot? Bwele nifye kumwenu imwe mwe ciwelewele.
I can see how upnd guy are under pleasure now that lungu hes doing the needful and to tell you i dont know who are the advisers of hh the nature of press breif he holds awe kwena i was like is this nigerian movie kwena ni comedy ilya stop imbalance our beloved mother zambia imwe ba upnd
Bo Inonge Wina and Hon.Jean Kapata are in Western mobilising the Party too.this is a strategy which wins elections for parties!!late Michael Sata before he won in 2011,he was mobilising PF on weekly basis across Zambia.the oposition parties only have themselves to blame.all HH knows is holding useless press conferences at a rented Rhodespak secretariat or at his chalala house which only ends up in the Mast which only sales in tongaland or online here when only few Zambians can access internet!!
BRAVO KOPOLA RESIDENTS FOR GIVING OUR BELOVED PRESIDENT A PROPER WELCOME!!
Kainde’s tonga voters shall cry once more in 2021!!IFIWELELELE -Kambwili and Kalaba are clining on PF like LICE even if we dont want them!!
COME 2021 NI PF NAFUTI NAFUTI!!
#21 Jay Jay, kick him to where? Edgar is here to stay, we love him.
Did you on TV how excited those pupils were when H.E. visited Fatima Girls Secondary? Which other leader is loved like Edgar? H.0H? Come on dont make me cry!!
Nonsense …Even us we used to get excited when meat was being served on Wednesday in the dinning hall at boarding school!!
Edgar the President of all Zambians including h.h and all upndees whether you like it or not all the way to 2021 and beyond!!
And when is Charles Kakoma crossing over??? I like what he said about Raila Odinga over his stupiod “swearing”, and if I like that thenit must be very painful to h.h.
Next when h.h speaks he will talk abiut Mukobeko as if we care whether he goes back or not.
@upnd Cadre; Stop wasting your life here posting under multiple names [Njimbu, upnd cadre, vianrazor, np, mambwe, etc etc] to convince yourself you are winning the arguments.
An idle mind is the devil’s workshop indeed.
Get yourself some friends or a job or a wife, Get occupied productively. Use your time for a good cause amd make your mother proud for a change.
Putting oneself in President Lungu’s boots, one would empathize with his trenchant reaction to those allegedly insulting the PF Party to which they still belong.
But using immoderate or Insulting Language against those people, will not stop them from unloading more insults. A vicious circle of insults is being created.
As Father of the Nation, one has to absorb the agonizing pain of demeaning language and still act calmly as a Father .
Those insulting the PF Party could be urged to search their conscience and make their minds as to where their feet should be- in one position or two. Emphasis could be made that the PF Party does not want to waste time on trivialities, as it is this time, preparing to beat the 50%plus with a clear 65% plus in 2021 Elections. And end up there. There…
Well said. Insulting has never been a constructive means of engagement with detractors.
Wrong ba Musonda – there comes a time when a leader has to use strong language to put across a point. ECL has been “quiet, humble” for too long, he now has to be aggressive in both language and action.
Yayaya, I am ashamed to have this man as my President, can sink low and speak the language of the street. You touch the Catholic Church you are gone, they have removed governments before, please watch the space.
You mean the Catholic Church that was in bed with Hitler and bankrolled trade in slavery of your own kind…if only you knew the history of the Catholic Church….you docile fooool!!
This is so embarasing as a country having such a president. He says, he is not campaigning, then what is emphasis on 65% (rigging strategy), why talk about oppositions if these are just presidential visits? Now that he has made money from visiting abroad and making flatuated contracts, he is feeling energetic and rich, and definitely can visit the poor us.
Bla bla bla. Can someone summarize this compaign agenda for me? Well atleast I know someone is just talking too much. Why can’t we work silently everything its politics. That’s how people lose popularity. Overdoing things!
@Papito; all the names you have mentioned above are different PF lovers!!so dont cheat yourself that we are one.PF IS LOVED BY MANY ZAMBIANS ESPECIALLY THOSE FROM THE NORTH AND EASTERN!!
We cannot vote for your tonga god HH in our lives!!come 2021,whether you like it or not,we will vote for PF together with our children,wives,parents,family members and all close friends.we campaign for PF daily in our homes,churches,place of work,etc.SO YOU ARE IN FOR IT BADAALA!!VOTING FOR A TONGA KAINDE IS NEVER AN OPTION!!WE CAN EVEN TRY KAMBWILI IN 2026 AND NOT HH!!The sooner you realise how damaging tribal politics which HH introduced in 2006,the better for you!!THE NORTH & EAST SUPPORTED CANDIDANT SHALL EVER WIN ELECTIONS IN ZAMBIA!!
Kainde only has himself to blame for starting tribal politics in…
Useless!
All he knows is to tour and show his insecurity by making references to those that have decided to challenge the PF nonsensical hegemony. Un-Presidential language, paranoia and desperation for another term after 2021 is all he exhibits. In the meantime, where ever he goes, he expresses disappointment at what hasn’t been done or is supposed to have happened in terms of real things that affect real people. When does he actually work?
Imagine he craved for Presidency but when he gets there he is worried about challengers instead of what he promised ..the only problem is no has absolutely no vision hence the panic as he can only see as far as his nose!!
In all fairness, he has a point. You get fired from your job, go public to call the company corrupt but then you rush to court to put a stay of execution on your expulsion??? Why didn’t you resign first, go public to expose the corruption??? Very true Mr. President, Fiwelewele, fi taka taka, fi shinka manyela!!!
My God. what did we do to God to deserve such crap for a president. The guy is a dead brain.
To the praise singers of meno meno, what is good about Edgar Lungu, can you please explain? Edgar is a crook and corrupt guy who has destroyed the Mines especially KCM. you go to KCM and find out for yourselves mwe fipuba, mwe basapota nefyamungulu, many of the people abamafumo, bakandile, abaleimya amaboko ukutasha Lungu ati pamaka na dununa reverse, ndakayi benda nge nkoko shilokelwe mfula yamulamba namaka yalipwa because of what is happening. Uyo nomba Lungu wenu naisa kumigodi, finshi amuletele apart from ubufi, nga abwelelamo ku Lusaka akamusha namafya yalayene mushinganwa nayo with no solutions. Ati ba kateka incito mulemona nokumona shilepwa, everything is in fragments, yena talandapo nangu cimo.
What development does Zambia need now? Roads? Zambia needs democratic, accountability, prudential financial management development among others. Politics is not just about numbers it’s also about moral leadership. Morality and patriotism to one’s country not to foreigners. How can Zambia develop when the leadership is busy developing China through award of All Major Contracts to the Chinese? The Government has failed to Develop the local Construction industry and is preferring the Chinese. How much have the Chinese construction companies paid in company taxes from these jobs?
I think democracy is good it does not base on character of a person. president Lungu is our president for this term. Let him do his best. we zambians we should know that no person who will better zambia the way we desire but they will only try there best whether Lungu ,HH or any politician whom we will develop our nation. whether in developed nation they are all not satisfied with there Leaders. therefore Let us support any leader who comes in power. Let us Love one another. use good language to one another. insults will do us nothing. comment with right and good language. people will take you serriously your comments and make a right decision the way forward. if you insult you also are the same with the person you are criticizing.
You have hit the nail on the head good comments
Fwe ma zambians tuli ba muka nya sana. It is like every Zambian thinks they can do better, as President. Some of the comments passed on this site luck substance. If some people think President Lungu is not good enough then inform the Zambians in detail what you would do differently if you were President, that to me will make sense
What is of concern as well is that most of the bloggers criticizing the President and his Government are Zambians residing in foreign countries as Economical refugees, who have run away from Zambia. Let the people back home do the talking as they are in a better position
There will never be a President that will be loved and supported by everyone. Some (Not all) of the critics on this blog make no sense
Once beaten twice shy. If you look at those that are insulting the Presidency, they have one thing in common and that is that they are failures. They tried to ascend to the post using all means including the ballot but could not make it. Are we going to stay that low to be insulting all the time rather than offer solutions to the many problems that this country is faced with? Those that claim they can use BRILLIANT ideas to make lots of money without other input are not applying the same brilliance to create employment but insult day in day out. SHAME. A reputation is not doing what Jim and Jack want but doing that thing most of the time. When you offer solutions most of the time you shall be known as a problem solver and insults just like that.
I agree with Mr Lungu on this one, same as those who have been tasked to look at our nations resources but are steeling from us are dog’s, I mean nimbwa nemichila pamisula.
My dear brothers and sisters happy that God has blessed us with life today. One thing I would like to put forward here is this, anything to do with tribal politics will not built our dear country but destroy it. I wouldn’t love to see Kenya in Zambia. We have always lamented that foreigners have invaded Zambia leaving us the indigenous hopeless.
Here is the truth, firstly as Zambians we don’t like to read things that matter most to us. Secondly our education system was used to colonize us, we have not realised that, the sooner we do that the better, our system has quarantined us to be job seekers at all levels that is Diploma, Degree PhD. We like to use our qualifications to bully and threatening others, lack of financial discipline in our culture is killing us, why do Indians…
I know of one leader of Ifiwelewele! Losers!
HaTribal politics!!
