I find it extremely disgraceful that comrade Wynter Kabimba could peddle such appalling falsehoods, calculated to discredit the leadership of the Socialist Party and to tilt public favour against socialism.

It should go without saying that the unfortunate remarks attributed to the leader of the Rainbow Party are nothing but a packet of filth motivated by unbridled jealousy and ill will. I must aver that comrade Wynter is an accomplished political figure whom many hold in very high esteem, irrespective of his shortcomings. But for him to stoop so low to engage in politics of hate, falsehood and malice, is really regrettable.

I can state without any fear of contradiction that the majority of the members of the Rainbow Party left the party because there were very strong allegations that comrade Wynter was having clandestine meetings with the leadership of the Patriotic Front at State House, coordinated by Robert Chikwelete. He categorically failed to clear himself of the allegations. These allegations were enforced by his recent remarks that he voted for President Edgar Lungu in the last general elections and this statement summed it all.

The successful launch of the Socialist Party has obviously left him at sea and is now literally vacillating between the PF and the UPND. What has happened to comrade Wynter should serve as a lesson to all party leaders who want to patronise their members and run a party as a personal asset. Leaders should at all times realise that the greatest asset of any politician worth the salt, are the people. As such, they ought to be treated with utmost respect and consideration.

The birth of the Socialist Party in Zambia is a direct response to very strong and clear calls from people of varied and diverse backgrounds across the country seeking to chart a course out of the capitalist quagmire. We in the Socialist Party understand fully well that the birth of the Socialist Party will not only alter the political terrain but will also change the political dynamics in the country. This entails that those leaders who are still glued to pedestrian politics of cho-chise will inevitably become irrelevant to the needs and aspirations of the people.

Comrade Cosmas Musumali and comrade Fred M’membe have openly stated that they are not politicians, but revolutionaries seeking to transform society from capitalist right wing politics that flourish on cutthroat competition, unbridled greed and naked self-interest fuelled by consumerism to Marxist-Leninist inspired politics founded on equity, honesty, humility, and solidarity. So please spare them from petty politics of personal attacks designed to deviate them from issues that matter most.

  1. Naimwe do you have to answer to everything? We’re never practical. …just talk, talk. If Mmembe wants to marry a fellow man that’s his problem. Will it increase or reduce our poverty ? No.

    • The spirit of Nsingu & Cecil Rhodes have resurrected and M’membe has arisen to fight historical oppressive fossils. What a joke of a party.

    • Comrades…Comrades we are in 2018…now lets deal with the Chinese invasion,,forget about fighting John Cicil Rhodes

    • ….and i quote,”they are not politicians, but revolutionaries seeking to transform society from capitalist right wing politics that flourish on cutthroat competition, unbridled greed and naked self-interest fuelled by consumerism to Marxist-Leninist inspired politics founded on equity, honesty, humility, and solidarity”.

      Mwale, You cannot just be parroting and unconsciously shoving Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels’s 1848 “Communist Manifesto” without considering circumstances under which they drafted it and indeed our own experience as a nation. Zambia has neither Right wing system nor ideologues standing. What exists on both divides the political theater is dangerous liberalism. Some of us have been calling on Zambian democracy to realign for rational protectionist policies in…

    • In a democracy we respect choices of individuals, we stand ready to desecrate any political theory that is unconsciously parroted and shoved on the populace without demonstrating intellectual depth. Such utopia is dangerous on our active youths daily approaching public affairs with unparalleled edge and intellectual curiosity. Zambia has neither Right wing system nor ideologues standing. What exists on both divides of the political theater is dangerous liberalism. Some of us have been calling on polity to realign for rational protectionist policies and not panting for Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels’s 1848 “Communist Manifesto”.

    • Nzelu, I am full blooded Zambian and my comments on Mmembe marrying his fellow man is just an irony. I don’t support unnatural acts. …unnatural because even animals don’t engage in homosex.

  2. Winter has nothing to lose or gain from the Socialist Party with his comments! His comments were true! We have not forgotten how Mmembe used to champion for the rights of the immoral!

  3. Winter I agree is a vindictive disallusioned man never saying anything good about anyone. Winter is still bitter by his fall from grace and position and has a poisonous mouth. Opposition should be united and not jealous or envious of other parties.

  4. Socialist Party, but the leaders are pure Capitalist crooks! Tax evaders, haters and Homosexuals! Not long ago Mmembe championed homosexualist, what has changed! He has already lost it because no Zambian will vote for homosexuality or homosexual president! Well done Kabimba, you have hit the nail on the head! For decades Mmembe enjoyed writing hate about other people, he’s now going to feel how it feels like people writing hate about him! His spokesperson is already calling Kabimba’s truth as “Hate”, when its very the very true and the truth! May Mmembe wants some men to come forward and testify!

  5. “Marxist-Leninist inspired politics founded on equity, honesty, humility”
    MMEMBE NEVER PRACTICED ANY OF THOSE WHEN HE WAS RUNNING THE POST!!!!
    HE WAS POMPOUS -SELF RIGHTEOUS AND DISHONEST.
    GIVE ZAMBIANS A BREAK PLEASE!!!

  6. “Marxist-Leninist inspired politics”???
    Which countries have benefited from such? Marx and Lenin have inspired intolerance and oppression of people’s freedom hence the China, Russia and Cuba of today!
