The Patriotic Front is concerned at the amount of hate speech being peddled by some media houses against President Edgar Lungu and sponsored by some opposition political parties.
PF Media Director Sunday Chanda says the known media houses and opposition parties are sick minds publishing malicious articles aimed at demeaning the sitting President.
Mr. Chanda has charged that the named media houses are now praying for misfortune for President Lungu including physical illness through their careless articles and editorials.
He says Zambians understand that it is immoral and inhuman to wish sickness and other misfortune on another human being – all for purposes of attaining selfish political objectives.
The PF Media director says, this is why Zambians have continued to associate some political parties with dark forces.
Mr. Chanda says the PF continues to call for civilised and ethical media reporting and mature politics.
He adds that Zambians will continue to demand for an opposition that offers credible checks and balances and understands its other role as a “proposition” of new ideas and policies.
When people or parties run out of ideas they start insulting. Thats natural. Dont even worry its part of life. These insults will never end so long we have multipartism in Zambia. Are you searching for a one-party state because of insults. Or just want to be heard saying something for fear of being fired. Ask Trump how much insults he has received for the shortest time as the USA president. No president in the history of USA politics has received more insults than Trump. The most insulted president ever.
Its all disaster baba!
You want credible Checks and Balances? Respect the separation of powers among Judiciary, Legislature, and Executive branches of government. These are the ones who can give credible checks and balances. Don’t preach to the opposition.
Can fat bum Sunday Chanda tell us why his feeble Boss Edgar is failing to deal with corruption? Why does Edgar prefer corrupt cadres like Barman Lusambo, Stephen Kapyongo, Jean Kapata, Kampamba Mulenga…when he has Sebastian Kopulande, Dr.Jonas Chanda and Dr. Martin Malama. To Sunday this contribution will be classified as hate speech
Yaba..LT headline “PF with hate peddled against President Lungu some media houses” chanipita chizungu. Kapena ni direct translation from chichewa
How did these dogs infest statehouse?
Who let the dogs out??
Statehouse has indeed gone to the dogs.
Chanda???? You think anyone can wish Lungu WELL? WITH THIS HARDSHIP?? Actually, there is No Black Magic nor Witches, because he would have long been BEWITCHED.
Here we go as if Sunday knows what toning down on what one says to deliver wise counsel…….”PF Media Director Sunday Chanda says the known media houses and opposition parties ARE SICK MINDS publishing malicious articles aimed at demeaning the sitting President.” (stressing ‘sick minds’ thus it starts here)
The president is public property daily feted by tax payers therefore open to broader varying views of scrutiny by the citizenry! Sunday Chanda could well take leaf of basic guiding principles from among many and a wealth of adages that those in public service and leadership roles may appreciate:
“Mwikala apatalala mwine apatalalika”
“Do unto others the way you’d wish them do unto you”
“Rush not to try to remove a speck in another persons’ eye when you have a log in…
contd….. yours”
“Insult a kid s/he will insult back”
“Charity begins at home”
Many a traditional leader is ever insulted left right and center yet wears a thick skin to lord over his subjects, they don’t respond unnecessarily but listen as theirs despite their privileged position they do understand that the denominator is service and remaining cool headed helps them maintain their seat!
Sunday, you are the one who is sick in the head. Maybe you suffer from schizophrenia and you need your head to be examined. Just because you are looting this country’s resources with impunity and becoming fat like pigs doesn’t mean that everyone is happy. Its people like you who have wasted all your education just to become carders in order to put food on your tables. Are you not ashamed when you look into the mirror and see what you have become? A bootlicker, devoid of any sense of entitlement and belonging. Grow up, PF wont be in power forever. You will dance pelete.
Sunday sounds like an uneducated cadre. No intellectual input in anything he says. Only language of the street boys. What a waste!
If the catholic pope him can be demeaned/despised by some people despite him being “pure”, what more a party/president whose cadres violently break into radio stations and cause chaos simply because someone from the opposition is being featured…..whose corruption fight targets those with opposing views or in opposition…..who has already started campaigning for 2021 (thereby blatantly violating Zambia’s electoral rules!) in the name of mobilizing the party?? I can go on and on. In short, you, Sunday Chanda and your PF enthusiasts are putting themselves on a higher moral pedestal when you’re not.
Chanda, when people provide checks and balances you bruttalise them and send police officers who have nothing to do with little understanding of why theh wear uniform to arrest and even steal food from those they raid. What checks and balances are you talking about little man? Yesterday was Kambwili a victim of checks and balances and the Daily Nation that Support PF found it necessary to write about his health, did you condemn that Chanda?
If you want respect tell Koswe eleke ubukopo, ala.
Anyway, what sickness can one wish on someone who already has an incurable sickness?
I don’t read the Mast because its full of evil! Whatever lies UPND and their HH , and NDC and Kambwili peddle against President Lungu, they are adding more years to Lungu’s life and presidency! Lungu was annointed by late President Michael Sata because a few months before he died he appointed him Minister of Defence, Minister of Justice and Secretary General of the party, PF. Making the most power person in the land, after himself! Those who had eyes, saw! Those who are “blind” looked away! But surely it was the beginning of the Lungu’s journey to State house! While Sata was propping up Lungu, he fired and demoted people like Geoffrey Mwamba , Chishimba Kambwili! Late Sata was one of the most intelligent politicians we have had in country! A brave strategist! He had been with all…
Totally agree … All of the politically acumen stewards of the Zambian Enterprise saw it very clearly as Bashi Chilufya (MCS ~ MHSRIP) started preparing ECL to take over from him.
You actually forgot one part, he even left ECL as the acting President before embarking on that fateful trip. In fact, of all the past Presidents, only ECL had prepared a successor without making any qualms about it.
Sata was the most skilled politician of all times, one who understood that he was destined to lead no matter how long it would take but he also was aware that his leadership was going to be short.
That’s why he hit the ground running and the rest is history … he had the shortest presidency and yet it became the most consequential.
After the deportation of a South African singer, I met a man of God and he gave the following passage from the Bible. In the gospel of Mathew: Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. v42 For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink, v43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
Instead of welcoming the NAKED and giving the cloths, The Minister of Religion decided to send them away! The Lord will judge you. Just to let all of you know!!!!!
Crushing people like a tonne of bricks is civilised language ka.
The more they insult lungu the more they decampain they selves.
Remember data…CHANDA chimba issue.
If you are fighting and your friend starts picking stones just know he has accepted defeat.
Recently upnd paid money for people who attended the rally just to make sure they show the nation that they are now popular in north3rn province.stop cheating face reality upnd currently CN not win elections even if non stood with a frog. This party has no democracy how can it rule when it self has a dictator nn shame.
RSA parliament passed a law to make hate speech a criminal offence last week. Meanwhile here we call it free speech and part of democracy??? We are lagging behind. Ku yamba ukifi kaka fi shinka manyela. You are right, Sunday
@ Zambian !MBECILE
Why not mentioning that RSA is also to prosecute CORRUPT THIEF ZUMA and STATE CAPTURERS GUPTA
I will crush them like a tonne of bricks – love speech
