Former United Party for National Development Vice President for Politics Dr Canisius Banda has said that the problem being faced by UPND is not because of the Bandas, but its party President Hakainde Hichilema’s own deceptiveness, treachery, lack of sincerity.
In a posting, Dr Banda said that the UPND leader Mr Hichilema has deceived many people in his political career, and that the incident of Dr Faustin Banda is an issue of Karma and that the Mr Hichilema was merely harvesting what he planted, a classic case of chickens coming home to roost.
Dr Banda further said that it was not surprising that Mr Hichilema is surrounded by a dangerous horde of infidels that have made him today very insecure and warned that the number of those deceiving him will only increase.

UPND’s ETHNO-CENTRED POLITICS MUST CEASE
This is my response to Stephen Laura’s statement that ‘Bandas are a problem.’ What Stephen KATUKA must know is that his party, or any party in Zambia, will never win an election without the Bandas. Insulting them, therefore, is both idiotic and suicidal. Bandas are NOT the problem. Bandas are merely intolerant of treachery, ethno-centred politics and idiocy.
Stephen KATUKA, the UPND secretary general, must let sleeping dogs lie. He must leave me alone on my path of nationalism and patriotism. I can be politically acerbic, strategically poisonous to the dreams of his party. I am not of that mind bent.
Stephen KATUKA is a friend of mine. Either Stephen KATUKA mispoke or now there is something cancerous about his mind. Stephen KATUKA knows that I am NOT the problem. He knows that I was the solution to UPND. He knows that I nearly made Hakainde HICHILEMA win in 2015, and that, by omission, I made him lose in 2016. Stephen KATUKA knows that, without me, the UPND is now very lame, mortally wounded. Stephen KATUKA knows that the problem in the UPND is his boss Hakainde HICHILEMA, HICHILEMA’s own deceptiveness, treachery, lack of sincerity.
Dr Faustin BANDA is merely an isolated symptom of the cancer that has now become the UPND. Worse is coming. More people, even closer to Hakainde HICHILEMA, will soon deceive/betray this pitiable man.
This is karma.
Hakainde HICHILEMA has deceived many people in his political career. I am one of them. I, as a victim of his treachery, I am one of the witnesses of his duplicity. When you plant deception you will reap deception. Hakainde HICHILEMA is now merely harvesting what he planted. His is a classic case of chickens coming home to roost.
Today, it is not surprising that he is surrounded by a dangerous horde of infidels. Hakainde HICHILEMA is today very insecure. The number of those deceiving him will only increase. Because he has been practising deception himself, he too now will suffer deception. As age old wisdom tells us, as a man makes his bed, so must he lay in it.
Stephen KATUKA by attacking Bandas is merely consolidating the community perception that his party is only a sick platform for the PROJECTION of ba Toka pride.
The education that Faustin and I have, but Stephen KATUKA doesn’t have and detests is the very bedrock upon which the foundation of a united, peaceful and prosperous Zambia shall eventually be built.
Let him just shut up and come to me we have coffee or Thobwa. We are friends after all.
Dr Canisius BANDA
Development Activist
Former UPND Vice President for Politics
We all know Under 5 is Satamic and treacherous.
This is not headline news
This Banda is a pot head. A junkie.
HH is a failed politician. Spoilt goods.
Lungu is a thief. A drunkard.
Kambwili is worse than those mentioned above.
Zambia needs to dig deeper to find capable leaders. Not this currrent crop of perverts.
Canisius BANDA chipuba sana. How van some with a tittle Doctor sink so low?
ONLY A TONGA SHOULD LEAD THE UPNDEADS. A SICK PLATFORM FOR THE PROJECTION OF BA TOKA PRIDE. PULLING THE TIGER BY ITS TAIL.
=============================
He is yet to empty all that lays in the upndead’s bedroom. Too much of what we already know about here. He was protecting them when he was dining with them. Now, all we need is more of the Katuka and Kakoma rants on the doc to let it rain. Too much filth out’a upndeads. Anyone can go to school, but not all can achieve that level of education the doc has. Those who actually attains that level, kudos, use it to bless the country and the less privileged in one way or the other. Just like CK, when one is fired rightly or wrongly , beef ensues. Unlike CK , who’s a mouthful by nature, it had to take dull katuka to unhinge the learned…
…doc’s verbatim. I don’t blame the doc except that he is echoing what we already know.
When you pull the tiger by its tail, you can assuredly a hell of the day. Be nice to each other now, I guess Chibwantu or Tobwa can do in times like this. Hey doc, remember not to argue with the unlearned. It’s dangerous. Damn! That reminds me, does double h have a first degree?
Canicius is right. But
Stephen nailed it, Bandas are notoriously a problem. List them, from Kamuzu Banda to William Tekele Banda.
CANACIUS BANDA IS VERY BITTER AND VINDICTIVE. HE HAS A PERSONAL GRUDGE AGAINST HH FOR NOT HAVING ADOPTED HIM AS HIS RUNNING MATE IN 2016. BECAUSE OF THE BITTERNESS HE HAS PUT BEHIND ALL THE GOOD THINGS THAT HH DID FOR HIM. I FIND HH TO BE VERY TOLERANT AND FORGIVING OHTERWISE HE WOULD HAVE DENOUNCED CANACIUS BANDA BUT GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF HIM IN DUE COURSE.
No merit in this posting, just anger , emotional and vengeful ranting which is not exonerating the greedy act of Dr Faustin Banda, the corrupt act of Rupiya Banda and the indeed the unparalleled behavior of Dr Canicius Banda.
….that’s why upnd is in free fall, you want to blame others while conveniently ignoring the real problem, the elephant in the room-kainde himself!!
UPN Deceptive
UPN Decline
(HH) is Satan incarnate
Useless Banda HH made you desirable for lungu, if you were not close to HH ECL wouldn’t have wasted his time poaching you, look now you just a mere carder. Let’s be honest what Faustin did is very wrong and criminal. You as a grown man should be condemning your fellow tribesmen instead of wanting to justify his theft and selfish actions which also compromise our already weak democracy. We as citizens are very disappointed with Faustin’s selfish behavior which we hope won’t lead to the destruction of our democracy
But who do you blame for the weakening democracy in Zambia now, all the opposition parties none of them is democratic. Look at UNIP for example, shouldn’t Tilyenji Kaunda have already given someone else to lead the party? TK knows he can’t win and election but come 2021 his face will still be on the ballot. What about UPND? What about FDD? You see our opposition parties lack dynamism and soon followers become bored. How many people have tried to support UPND and immediately come out of it, many including the likes of Maureen Mwanawasa and now very recently Nervous Mumba. Sichinga Robert and Lupando Mwape have been quiet after being unveiled at Chainama hotel. Last time I heard about Guy Scott and his wife Charlotte Scott is that they are now with Kambwili party. Something tells you…
@4.1
I feel you.
Genius!
Shame, at least HH paid for your rent and brought you to the limelight. Guard your jealousy and envy before it buries you alive.
“…Stephen KATUKA knows that I am NOT the problem. He knows that I was the solution to UPND. He knows that I nearly made Hakainde HICHILEMA win in 2015, and that, by omission, I made him lose in 2016.

Kudos Stf, you are destroying our country with your crooked way of doing things. Don’t think we don’t know you paid that Banda guy. A guy takes another person’s money and stuff there you are as PF with no morals receiving and welcoming him. Do you think morally right donors and organizations are going give us money with such kind of behavior. Wining is not everything but doing the right thing is and improving people’s lives.
Chickens have come home to roost for the Zim junta
Some foreign investors investors have voiced they have shut the door on Zimbabwe due to the brutality by the military seen since last week Wednesday.
Others based in London, UK on Monday told ZimEye they believe the country has nose dived on its reputation on the business front as a result of the post election violence following also threats and intentions to cause harm sounded by Emmerson Mnangagwa’s own advisor Chris Mutsvangwa, Masvingo Minister Josiah Hungwe, and Deputy Finance Minister Terence Mukupe.

help resuscitate the Zimbabwean economy that has been subjected to economic abuse and distortions by political leaders.
We do take note of the current post electoral events in Zimbabwe and therefore to make the following announcement to all prospective investors under the bandwith of the Forum. Investment announcements:
• We do suspend all investment deals currently underway destined for Zimbabwe till further notice
• We are not processing any business plans or packages for Zimbabwe • The forum will not be liable for any losses or sufferings incurred by its prospective member as a result of doing business in Zimbabwe
• All deals pending implementation or consideration in Zimbabwe are placed on special hold till further notice
• Any of our members or any diasporans must not…
Part 3
• Any of our members or any diasporans must not send CASH to Zimbabwe rather send FOOD PARCELS. The idea is to reduce the Si b annual approximate remittances to Zimbabwe which is now the source of liquid cash being used by the Zim gvt.
Our investment and economic analysts have re assessed the investment status of Zimbabwe and graded it a “Dangerous and military zone” . We do therefore do not advise investment into a militarised economy where there is no respect for corporate governance, business ethics. constitution and human rights. We do call upon similar investment and business forums to Zimbabwe to also evaluate the Zim investment status.
The Forum will attempt to contact the HE, President Elect, Mr Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangangwa and make the following requests:

Part 4
• De militarising of his cabinet and his government officials starting with the removal of Major General Sibusiso Moyo as Minister of International Trade. We quite believe that he is not a suitable and capable Trade Expert or Conduit to bring investment into Zimbabwe.
• We expect the Zimbabwean government to respect the rights and lives of its citizens and particularly of the Opposition political parties that are being targeted and persecuted for exercising their rights.
We will continue to monitor the political events as they unfold and review the investment status.

Zambian citizen it will be nice if you spent more time advising your boss lungu because upnd’s problems you too focused on don’t have any bearing on citizens than ECL’s issues and short comings. We have loans to worry about and jobs let’s talk about that than this which is an internal issue.
It doesn’t work like that. In a democracy, opposition is govt in waiting. So what they do affects the country. Right now we have bitter, tribal, hateful and useless opposition which has the potential to bring chaos in our country if these characters got hold of power. upnd’s modus operandi has all the traits of dictatorship, bad policy decisions and undemocratic tendencies, how can we just sit back and pretend they are fine and everything on Lungu’s side is bad??
Zambia – the nation of dog eat dog politics of personality instead of politics of issues and ideas. I weep for thee Zambia .
To cut to the chase UPND can not win the next elections if they have alienated the whole of Eastern province and Easterners who are a sizeable chunk of the populations of Lusaka and CB provinces.
Why cant the party replace HH? If HH ever came to power he would not behave like KK or RB and step down if he lost an election, rather he would behave like Yaya Jammeh or Museveni. If he can cling to a ka party presidency like that he would never ever step down and would have no qualms about persecuting Easterners.
you people say upnd should replace hh but how is that.your comcern if with him upnd doent stand a chance?
is highly regrettable that Dr. Banda’ s nonsense is being glorified. What he did is an extreme case of tribalism. Posterity will judge the whole scheme harshly. No reasonable democrat can condone that. It is a recipe for electoral violence if not budded. Imagine if all players adopted that approach… then a number of aspiring/ nominated candidates may go missing by hook or crook and the outcome may be disastrous. We may end up having unopposed candidates in a number of constituencies. It’s a serious matter that should not be underrated by all

Reflection
It’s very clear that Edgar is not in a hurry, like KK was, to put an end to tribalism. Edgar is actually clinging to tribal support for his political survival. Look at the people who came to his support and defence when he was under criticism from representatives of the mother bodies of Christian churches! Two Catholic bishops who, like him, hail from Eastern Province and Evangelical pastors from the same region. The other was Rupiah Banda, who in 2008 started his presidential election campaign by telling the people of Eastern Province to chase away candidates from other regions and tell them to go and campaign where they came from. This is the man who today is Edgar’s political godfather, supporter and defender!
What can we reasonably expect from Edgar in the fight against…

What can we reasonably expect from Edgar in the fight against tribalism?
There’s a general feeling in the country today that civil servants and other public workers from certain regions of our country are being retired from public service on the basis of tribal mistrust. This is planting a very dangerous feeling in our people which will be very difficult to weed out, uproot. – The Mast
So ba Katuka you are also telling us that even your political advisor to Kainde in the name of William Tekele Banda is a suspect? That blanket statement of condemning all Bandas in this country is alarming. Tekele yewe fumako before the sun sets on you. I fully agree with DR Canius Banda, you cannot just abandon a person you suffered with for along time just like that. I belief even long time members of UPND did not agree with that decision. I shall always respect the late Sata for appointing Guy to be his Vice. These two guys toiled together, they walked, they slept musanga, ate from the same pot together and after the job well done Sata did not abandon his friend. So what Kainde is experiencing is what greed is all about. Uwaikete fibili …………..!
Good point. …no Banda for Upnd. The only B welcome in Upnd is Bitterness.
I hope the UPND keep HH since he is going down.
Everybody can see where all this is going except the U5.
You are right, let them keep kainde so he can be dununad again….kwekwekwekwekwe….
“WANYEKA MUNZI”…….UPND is in free fall and in TOTAL MESS!!!I can only imagine bantustans are feeling especially in tongaland!!!I’m sure they feel like breaking away from united Zambia…kkkkkkkkkkk……”WANYEKA MUNZI”…..I just dont know if UPND as a party wants the Almighty God to come and tell them that HH cannot win them the presidency in Zambia!!!Look,under anybody else than Kainde,UPND could have won long time ago.This party loses elections because of HH whom many Zambians in the North and East do not want!!!JUST VISIT HOMES OF NORTHERNERS AND EASTERNERS THEN HEAR WHAT THESE PEOPLE TALK ABOUT YOUR KAINDE!!!Kainde lose elections before we even vote as he is decampaigned in the homes of people from the North and East!!!2021 ELECTIONS WILL BE KAINDE’S LAST AND LOOKING AT THE…
“I WAS CHEATED, USED AND DUMPED BY HH” says Daniel Munkombwe. Like Canicius Banda, late munkombwe was cheated by HH into resigning his post as a provincial minister of southern province, promising to give him back the same position in the event that HH won the 2016 elections, he uttered those words when he went to the state house to appreciate Lungu’s loving kindness after coming back from South Africa where Lungu had flown him for medical treatment. Miles Sampa, Nevers Mumba, Bob sichinga, Maureen Mwanawasa, mulenga Sata, Guy scott have all been the victims of HH’s deceptiveness, treachery and lack of sincerity. Can HH be our republican president? A BIG NO!!!!! I agree with Dr. Canicius Banda’s words above.
This is not a secrete that tribalism is at play. Just see the connections Canniciud Banda defending his tribesman and Richard Sakala igniting the fire. When RB was being persecuted by MCS ., it was HH who offered solidality to him. Immediately Lungu came on Board Lupuya changed direction and did a wako ni wako. Who cares you can continue voting for yourselves and we contlnue voting for ourselves.
If we are to buy a concept of tribalism from UPND,then we can safely state that minus support from a combination of Northerners(Luapula,Northern,Muchinga) and Easterners, no politician can enter state house in Zambia because these are the majority (but not special) Zambians doted throughout the country.Insulting these people is deadly for UPND or any other party in Zambia.Dr.Banda who switched off his phone did not see sense in standing in Kasenengwa just for the sake of it.Thats why even others refused to replace Dr.Banda as UPND stood zero chance of winning in Kasenengwa or eastern as a whole!!Therefore,Stephen Katuka should have controlled his bitterness AND PURELY BLAME HH WHO HAS SEEN HIS BETTER YEARS AS “CUUNDU CHAITWA” CHAIRMAN!!
This whole thing stinks of Wako ni wako tribalism / politics. The perpetrators of tribalism( the PF CADRES) often point their fingers at UNPD as a tribal party but PF are the worst culprits at practicing TRIBALISM. This needs to stop.
can you compare wako ni wako to the tonga upnd cult of southern province where kainde gets 97% against 3% for others to the 22% kainde got in Eastern province??
There is no recording of katuka saying those alleged words. We thought cannisius Banda was intelligent to not fall in the trap of propaganda propagated by the pf who want to do away with multi party democracy. Maybe this explains why banda couldn’t fit into our party. You can haxe all the degrees in world but that doesn’t stop someone from being an ldlot
Even if for some reason we were to assume that kakuta said those words, is it not faustina banda who deserted upnd without notice and in possession of party property based on wako ni wako syndrome? The pf or easterners should be the last people to claim high moral ground when they promote wako ni wako only when it suits them. Katuka has nothing to apologise for and will not be doing so. Meanwhile nindani apika nsima???
Sometimes when you se the term “wako ni wako” when referring to Easterners, have some shame. How many votes did HH get from the Eastern Province in the last elections compared to what EL got from the Southern Province?
I am Bemba, but I don’t like the way Njimbu is painting northerners and easterners in relation to southerners. It leaves a putrid taste in my mouth. Such statements are dangerous and unacceptable, and should be condemned by all peace-loving Zambians. We should emphasise unity, not regionalism.
@21 Kanyense, There is NOTHING @17 Njimbu has painted Northerners and Easterners with RATHER, he/she stated FACTS ABOUT ZAMBIANS POPULATION DISTRIBUTION!! The BIG VOTING BLOCKS in ZAMBIA are in URBAN AREAS (LUSAKA and COPPERBELT URBAN) followed by NORTHERN+MUCHINGA and then SOUTHERN, EASTERN! While it is VERY SAD THAT OUR POLITICS ARE NOW STEEPED IN REGIONALISM AND ETHNICITY, WE SHOULD UNDERSTAND HOW WE GOT THERE;HOW UPND LOST ITS APPEAL IN LUSAKA where it had constituencies and good representation on CB?! UPND has no Parliamentary seat in the main urban areas of Lasaka and the CB partly because the supporters and leaders alike emphasize ethnicity and regionalism!!
Canisuis Banda is a political clown filled with bitterness for not being chosen as running mate for HH. So whatever this clown says is malicious and we do not want future politicians like him. Just goes to show he is in politics for self gain and not for the country or the people.
Canicius Banda and PF are doing every thing possible to deviate the attention of the masses. The general citizenry need sufficient safe and clean water 24/7, 3 decent meals per day, quality health services, quality education, secure and stable employment , conducive working environments in Markets, good condition of services for all employees, Public places e.g, Bus stations and institutions to operate professionally for the benefit of all Zambian, Free and fair judiciary, accountable dealings and institutions of governance, Free and fair elections, full enjoyment of human rights, security and abidance to the laws of the land by every citizen, principled members of Parliament for their people, fair distribution of CDF, Freedom of expression and assembly etc.
For the government in…
Pilgrim will die with his chikonko because of his hatred for HH! Whether you were betrayed or used and dumped is immaterial. What is important is to man up and move on! Your hate won’t make HH poor and it doesn’t matter whether he makes it to plot one or not!
Dr. Banda is not hating anyone here. He responded because a certain Katuka dragged his name into this mess.
Hate builds no one.You can hate the Tonga you can hate hh and love your pf and sundry. In the end you still go to bed on an empty stomach. Ask Lungu he was once in UPND together with most idle politicians.Today he is the omega.Everything is a chasing after the wind-meaningless,according to Ecclesiastics.
Malabishi! Politics of vengeance and vindictiveness. Why is he coming out swinging instead of the dude who chickened out and ran away with people’s money. Saying there is something wrong with a “Banda” doesn’t mean the guy is insulting or alienating the entire Eastern province. In fact that is a popular saying, so this dude just wants to twist and milk this as a ‘pay back’ for his losing the UPND vice presidency to GBM. He’s actually alluding to this in his bitter rantings. Yes I don’t like the way he treated by the UPND and HH, kicking him to the kerb in preference for newcomer GBM but such is politics and him coming out swinging like this just hates his cause and fortunes.
This is all the propaganda work of PF, sponsoring the campaign of hounding HH out of the UPND. It’s…

This is all the propaganda work of PF, sponsoring the campaign of hounding HH out of the UPND. It’s cheap and it’s vile and it’s the country that will ultimately lose if these guys succeed in silencing every little opposition that is left. The Church, the Civil society, the Post, law enforcement agencies all have been eliminated and now they want UPND gone. All so they can loot and plunder unopposed and rule forever. A Lungu for you!
Is PF so powerful that who ever fails to acheive anything regardless of their circumstance they blame PF. The reaction of Canicius Banda to Katuka’s.. Eiish sounds like “he who laughs las laughs the loudest’. Some people discern things from afar others have to wait auntil they hear the last nail being driven into the coffin to believe that they are dead. UPND seem to have moved from the mortuary enroute to the graveyard but they dont believe that transition. We need a Zambian opposition party of a national character and not a regional one.
Actually UPND needs a Radical Leader.If can find one even from across the border,let us find him.Get it right,any so called God fearing person cannot win an election in Africa.The African politics is dirty,corrupt and rough.
Banda is upset that hh stopped paying for his rent
HH is upset because he has lost elections five times.
this is all about rent thing.
Dr Canisius Banda is looking for a job.Let him keep talking so that the powers that be can hear and offer him a ka job to China and Turkey or Lebanon.
Pilgrim you overate yourself. If you are the one who could have made upnd win or lose then how come PF haven’t yet offered you a position or even attempted to buy you off when you were in upnd like they did with kapita and candidates like faustin Banda etc.
he is looking for free accomodation kiki
Canisius is looking for accommodation in a cheap way like someone who never went to school instead of a dignified way of advancing intellectual discourse on national issues like euro bond repayment strategies.
They biggest problem with UPND is your hate the truth. Sit in there and go nowhere. Change your structures and tribalism you might just stay as official opposition. Right now you suck
Sorry we know your schemes. HH is going nowhere. He is here to stay come what may. Why does this country like listening to nonentities like the bearded man? What has that man ever won in his life. Do you think a person who can lose to Jean in Mandevu is worth listening to? And why are you paying attention to his rantings now when you ignored him while he was a VP in UPND. Come 2021 someone will go to the barber shop to shave for the first time.
I wait for a day when us bloggers on this forum will learn to be objective and not subjective. To start with, it was not HH who issued the statement Dr. Banda is reacting to, then why bring in HH? Its the same thing on the other camp, you find a story that has nothing to do with ECL, yet someone brings him in. Can we learn to stick to the issue at hand & debate constructively. For me it looks like the issue of sour grapes on the part of Dr. Banda.
I have always wondered why people paint UPND as tribal.Look you blind men PF is bread and honey in places like Luapula,Muchinga,Northern and of late Eastern but no one calls them tribal.No wonder in this country we have tribes who think they are superior to other tribes. It is no good to always think of oneself as the KNOW IT ALL.KK would winked us into the motto one Zambia one nation but no one ever thought why it was always UNIP PSG NO CHANGE TILL THEY HAD TO BE SWEPT AWAY BY THE POLITICAL TSUNAMI OF 1991.
