UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema says voting for PF at any level is giving “thumbs up” to the PF government-orchestrated social distress among Zambians.
Hichilema, who flew into Mongu accompanied by UPND national trustee and former Zambezi East member of parliament Sarah Sayifwanda and party national youth chairman and former Sesheke member of parliament Likando Mufalali, arrived at Mongu Airport at 10:20 hours on Saturday.
The opposition leader was then driven to Liseli radio and as his convoy slowly drove into town, thousands of Mongu residents followed and waved and cheered.
At some point, Hichilema’s convoy was literally blocked by a jolly crowd that could not contain excitement.
Then in town, UPND security personnel and the party’s provincial leadership combined their energies to ensure that the animated supporters were held back.
In the company of Mufalali, Sayifwanda, Mongu Central UPND member of parliament Dr Mwilola Imakando, Gertrude Imenda, party’s Lealui Lower ward candidate Muyongo Muyongo, Hichilema proceeded to Liseli radio station where he featured on a special interview.
On Liseli radio, Hichilema said once UPND forms government, it would focus on job creation across Zambia to better the economic well being of citizens.
“UPND is there for the development of the people. It is there for improving the people’s lives. It is not there to cheat or steal from the people! We are saying to the people of Lealui Lower ward, vote for bo Muyongo Muyongo. That is our candidate! But he is just our conduit to the main argument; there in Lealui ward, the debate is whether we love Lungu or we love Hakainde – that’s it,” Hichilema said.
He also noted that giving a vote to the ruling PF was retrogressive.
“Do we support Lungu and his government who are the architects of all this distress we are seeing in Mongu and the entire Zambia? If you vote for the PF candidate, you will be voting for Lungu and saying ‘yes’ to the suffering that he has brought. Hakainde was almost killed for attending his ceremony, the Kuomboka. You cannot get anything from those who never love you and that’s what the PF has shown for the people of this province and the entire Zambia – no love at all,” he charged.
“If you vote for PF, you are saying you like the status quo in the country and especially here in Mongu. There are no jobs, agriculture has been destroyed by the PF government and then how can one wake up on Tuesday and go and vote for a PF candidate? It means you are happy with the high taxes that the PF government has introduced.”
Hichilema added that the UPND was on a journey towards forming a “development-minded” government.
“Muyongo Muyongo is part of that journey. This journey must continue until we achieve what we want. We want to form government and focus on poverty alleviation – to create jobs, improve agriculture. We want to make sure that once we form government, we revitalise economic activities in Western Province and the whole Zambia,” Hichilema pledged.
We want to beat the hell out of PF With no time.
UPND forward…!
UPND forever in opposition!!
VIVA UPND,VIVA HH
This is what hatred breeds. This hh chap has completely lost it. In campaign, you hardly lobby not to support the government but sell your manifesto. If it is the game of chess which depicts war, you don’t move any piece forward then retreat to the same position. He is doing that and Lungu is consistently moving his pieces forward. Come 2021 it will be check mate for hh. His strategy is very wrong. He will come and cry again in 2021. He needs to grow up and show us maturity.
The difference between HH & Jonathan Mutaware is like Day & Night:
HH is ZAMBIAN, Mutaware is A MALAWIAN IDENTITY FRAUDSTER (Born in 2 places from 2 mothers)
HH is HONEST, Mutaware is A THIEF ($23 Million in 2years)
HH is SOBER, Mutaware IS A DRUNKARD (Jameson)
HH CAMPAIGNS CLEAN, Mutaware USES RIGGING, ECZ TO WIN ELECTIONS (Kaizer Zulu & Esau Chulu)
HH is MATURE, Mutaware ABUSES PUBLIC ORDER ACT, POLICE
HH is PEACE-LOVING, Mutaware THRIVES ON CADRE VIOLENCE using brain-washed Zealot PF00Ls
HH is NOT A TRIBALIST, Mutaware ENCOURAGES TRIBAL HATRED TO GET SUPPORT AMONG BEMBAS & EASTERNERS
HH is PATRIOTIC, Mutaware HAS SOLD THE COUNTRY TO TU MA CHINESE
HH will enjoy his HARD EARNED MONEY , Mutaware WILL SPEND THE REMAINDER OF HIS LIFE IN JAIL
HH is an accomplished economist,…
CONT’D
HH is a true Christian, Mutaware is a Fake Christian
HH is faithful to his wife, Mutaware CHEATS ON HIS EASTER LUNGU
HH is an accomplished economist, Mutaware is a FAILED LAWYER WHO STOLE FROM A CLIENT
HH is A WEALTH GENERATOR, Mutaware RELIES ON DEBT THE COUNTRY WITH $-BILLIONS
HH is man of the people, Mutaware IT’S ABOUT STEALING & RULING FOREVER…..
The list is too long.
Ba Day dreamer ba HH…
SAID WHAT?
===========
Why are you saying that? We know already that in that area, you have already won through corruption.
But voting for the UPNDEADs means you are endorsing and supporting Satanism, acrimony, petition, impeachment, lawlessness and perpetual antagonism plus stagnation in our land. You vote for a progressive party, you endorse development. The building of Kalaba road, toll gates, first level hospitals, link Zambia fwakuti fwakuti, ring roads both rural and urban. Vote wisely not retroactively.
HH will be the President for Barotseland not Zambia. Once we uphold the 1964 agreement, then HH will be Litunga’s subject because Southern Province is in Barotseland. Actually HH will be Ngambela or kapaso wamulena. LOl
Mscheew ,Bwana HH endorsing your culture of politics and electioneering 24/7 is detrimental Zambia’s development.
HH has displaced over 600 villagers in Namwala by fencing off 1,500 hectares of animal grazing land.That is President for you.
There is a lot of land in Namwala. why would people want to stay on someone’s farm which is bringing revenue to the nation. PF is a failed deal. Why would you want to put all companies in a tight corner just because they are opposing you. The economy is not doing well because of your wicked deeds.
UPND with its mediocrity has equally contributed to the misery of the masses. Bizarre incidents continue to occur in UPND strongholds, to Hichilema it’s an unforgivable offense for an MP to approach govt to address people’s challenges. He’s a hypocrite that doesn’t deserve any space in our politics
Let’s not allow HH and ECL to continue dividing our intermarried nation! Both are problems!!!!!!!
Hh think he’s super man and his blind followers especially in 3 province’s think he’s there upnd is a trible grouping were only can be president
Social distress is better than tribal distress. And people will vote on these lines.
Just wait for the results.
Disaster!
With ka Chief Mukuni behaving badly, Upnd has slid to the bottom of the list of parties order of my preference.
WELL SAID, SOCIAL DISTRESS IS MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN THE TRIBAL DISTRESS YOU CAN BRING.
Let’s not allow HH and ECL to continue dividing our intermarried nation! Both are problems!!!!
HH stop dreaming of ever winning the presidential race bring back the cash you have stashed in offshore accounts and help develop the area where you are promising heavens you greedy man.
FROM PRIVITASATION OF STATE OWNED ENTERPRISES – PARASTALS
Ati we are on the journey of forming government, which country? We will not allow it, of course you brainwashed cousins will vote for you but watch, they will be outnumbered. The Cambridge Analytica tactics you used in 2016 will equally be used by PF in its strongholds. This time around, voter registration and turnout in PF strongholds will be like fire and fury so that we wipe HH out the political landscape of our beatiful country.
see who says HH is tribalist and listen to their language. they say they will not allow it just because HH is not their own tribe. What dunderheads we have!
The fact that hh doesn’t recognise President Lungu as President of Zambia is also the same way people of the 6.5 provinces will not recognise him during voting in the 2021 elections and he will remain permanently in opposition and not even the UN will entertain him after insulting all people who matter in the world
laughable matter indeed how HH is a celebrity in few areas but a commoner in another, the only people you can see are his security, surprisingly HHs strong holds believe HH can win in 2021, this is a man who has lost 5 times walking around with an expired petition , a party that has of late lost many members through defections to other parties. yet you hear a person ati HH forward chabe, the strong scent from cow dung might make you believe it has the capability of making someone hallucinate. its not scientifically proven yet but i can assure you their is something in that dung thtas a danger to human health. message approved
Kkkkkkkkkkk ati “Cow Dung” Kkkkkkkkkkk. NSS. These people are more like Banyamulenge led by their Tribal Warlord
MR HH YOU CAN KEEP YOU SOUTHERN, WESTERN AND HALF OF CENTRAL PROVINCE (TONGA AND LENJE SPEAKING) , ECL WILL ALSO KEEP COPPERBELT, LUSAKA, NORTHERN, MUCHINGA, LUAPULA, EASTERN AND PART OF CENTRAL PROVINCE SO THAT WE CAN SEE IF SENIOR POOP MUKUNI WILL EVER MAKE YOU PRESIDENT.
Let’s not allow HH and ECL to continue dividing our intermarried nation! Both are problems!
NDC has chopped your vote in your so called strongholds-CBU and Northern Regions.
Your Jonazan Chagwa will have shikii when results starts tricking in 2021. Kabwili is out there to punish Chagwa and see HH win.
The difference between him and HH will be too for even his useless hitchmen like Kaiser and Chulu to bury in graveyards…
You are the very social distress Hakainde boi.
The same is true for Up and Down party! The best is to do away with both PF, UPND and the rest of the tuntemba parties! These parties have divided this once united country with their regional and tribal politics! Political parties are nothing but gangs for looting the state – a serious form of organized crime! Look at how PF has ransacked our state coffers and left us with a debt that does not make sense! What else is that other than crimes against Zambians? UPND would be worse than PF! If Hachi can fence off communal grazing land when he has no state power, what more when he tastes state power? Solution – Abolish multiparty politics and go Federal! All tribes in Zambia are tribal when entrusted with power and will do everything to give undue advantage to Wako ni Wako like we have seen…
HH please tell us the name of the Bank Governor in Paradise, where you keep your money and Paradise papers.
How can you sell mines and take all the money to Paradise, where you know that people only go there after death?. Zambia be careful of Paradise papers. If you bank with HH, all your money will turn into Paradise papers and His will remain.
All tribes in Zambia are tribal when entrusted with power and will do everything to give undue advantage to Wako ni Wako like we have seen with appointments to public office under PF. Your qualification is your surname. You must be from the Northeast or risk retirement in PF interest! Best is decentralize power! We can’t allow this status quo of mediocrity where the who country is condemned because of an individual’s incompetence in statecraft!
For 5 times u’ve been receiving that support but when it comes to results, u always become a bastered, Think twice grow up man!
To all the commentators supporting President Lungu. Show maturity by pointing at President Lungu’s achievements in the time he has been in office. Talk about taxes, the police, employment, constitutional breaches. Not tribal issues. That ship left in 2016.
“The debate is whether we love Lungu or we love Hakainde – that’s it,” Hichilema said.
???????????????????????????????????????????
In other words, h.h is saying if you love h.h then you must hate Lungu.. h.h has reduced politics to hatred, its no longer a political contest.
Tongas do you agree with h.h?
“Mummy, he keeps getting popular even when I throw the kitchen sink at him,” Childish. “I struggled to raise you because everyone in the community thought you were not the smartest kid around, Childish,” Animo Rights.
The tribal grouping masquerading as a political party always thinks it is the other side which is tribal! Wow! HaDelusions and HaLluciantions thr’ and thr’! Red for arson!
Kainde keep on meeting same bantustan voters year in,year out but hope to win the presidency how?kekekekekekeke!!registered voters in western and N/western (combined) are fewer than registered voters in Lusaka only where PF is too strong!!!simply put all registered voters in 3 bantustan provinces (Southern,western and N/Western) are fewer than registered voters in Lusaka and Copperbelt provinces,areas which are dominated by PF lovers!!!DOES HH KNOW THIS FACT?addressing rallies in known upnd strongholds is simply misleading himself(HH)!!tomorrow we will have 16 by elections,10 are in PF strongholds.we will see how many wards will upnd grab from those 10 in PF areas!!LETS WAIT AND SEE!!
The real verdict is how the people are feeling now. Are there more people starving now than two years ago? Do they feel hopeful about for the future ? I think you know the answers to these questions . So, it is not about HH or Lungu or tribe?
The problem we have in Zambia today is HH. Honestly, I don’t even know where this man came from, his childhood experience, his motive and his spiritual life. I think its time to do away with leaders who have too much hatred, promote anarch, lawlessness, embrace division and lack of respect for others. This man called HH is not a politician and may throw our country into chaos. He is too emotional and has no sense of forgiveness. No tolerance. If he was a normal person, he would have left UPND in capable hands to take over. Even Arsene Wenger has finally given up despite huge amount of money he gets. How I wish he was late FTJ was his opponent, he would have learnt the hard way. He is lack that we have soft and humble ECL.
@Alibaba:thats how you cheat yourselves in UPND!!who tells you that HH is our saviour?our economy has been bad since 2012.it was worse in 2015 and 2016 with load shedding everyday,mealie meal price reached K120 per 50 KG,kwacha reached almost K14 against $1,etc.BUT STILL MAJORITY ZAMBIANS REJECTED YOUR KAINDE!!today load shedding is over,we have power 24/7,Mealie meal is at K60 per 50KG(breakfast),kwacha is at K9.4 per $1,etc!!new roads,schools,hospitals,districts,etc are being done daily by PF Govnt.SO WHAT CAN YOU TELL US?DO YOU THINK HH IF VOTED WILL BE BUYING US FOOD,OR GIVE US FREE MONEY?NEVER!!Kainde is just on tribal crusade-he has nothing else to offer!!
THE PF GOVNT IS ON RIGHT TRACK.ROME WAS NOT BUILT WITH A YEAR.REAL DEVELOPMENT TAKES YEARS!!so upnd cant cheat us in 6.5…
Even if he studied political science, I still wonder if he can get it. It is in blood!
“Mummy he has more people than I but I still think I won,” Childish.
@ Njimbu
First of all, point of correction, the exchange is K9,400 to a dollar not K9.40
Secondly, according to Mr Simumba, Zambia’s debt if you include domestic arrears total debt rises to just above $15 billion.
Our domestic revenue is being consumed by public service salaries estimated at 60% and debt servicing estimated at30% leaving only ten percent for investments. This is why Government is struggling to pay local suppliers and contractors and has built up arrears of US$1.3 billion.
He said this is the reason annual debt servicing continues to increase and now stands at US$504 million in 2017.
PF is Ponzi Scheme or bubble slowly unwinding soon to burst because of unstainable debt mountain.
I’m looking forward to a time when those in opposition will say that they have advised the government on ABC, and that the government has thrown away the advice. Really, just proclaiming that the ruling party is not doing anaything no longer makes sense. Every party in oppositin says the same. PF was saying the same when it was in the opposition seat. It is time for politicians to debate openly on issues so that the electorate can be allowed the freedom to tell who is credible and who is not. If it is about country’s debt, how is the opposition going to let it go away? If it is the question of unemplyment how is the opposition going to answer it better than the ruling guys? That’s the info Zambians want to know.
Mama we need a signal here! HH is only a cattle saviour, he has no qualities of serving zambia coz:
#greed he is a god on his own
#selfish
#merciless
and pipo are still following him blindly coz he is related to their tribe tho unzambian
