UPND President Hakainde Hichilema has denied having incited people on the Copperbelt to riot over the alleged sale of ZAFFICO to Chinese Nationals.
Mr. Hichilema said the people of Zambia are aware of what is going on in the country such as the sale of ZNBC and the Natural Resources Development College and the rampant corruption in road construction and do not need to be incited to riot.
Speaking during a Hot FM Breakfast show on Wednesday morning, Mr. Hichilema said blaming him for the fall of the Kwacha against the US dollar, delayed rains, University students’ situation and many other challenges facing the nation is not a solution to the problems.
“You had Mwakalombe on that Radio yesterday saying Hakainde incited the riots that is not true, I did not incite anybody to riot. If you check the social media, before I went on SUN FM there were already issues in ZAFFICO”, Mr. Hichilema said.
He added that he has no power to incite anyone to riot at ZAFFICO and emphasised on the need for the Media to have their facts right before accusing anyone of issuing certain statements.
Copperbelt Province Minister Japhen Mwakalombe on Tuesday accused Mr. Hichilema of causing the riots that broke out in Kalulushi and Kitwe over the sale of ZAFFICO.
Mr. Mwakalombe said Mr Hichilema caused the riots by allegedly inciting the people of the Copperbelt to demonstrate.
He said Mr. Hichilema made some allegations on privately run SUN FM based in Ndola that government had sold ZAFFICO the same way it sold ZNBC.
There high levels of poverty in knowledge in this country.
Hakainde is expired. UPND need fresh blood. But blaming him silly. People are just upset. deal with their grievances rather than shifting blame
The Zambian People cannot be taken for a ride any longer. Leave HH alone. The rains are delayed can someone check if HH has something to with this as well
Really??? With so much misinformation about everything??? Just read some of the blogs here if you are oblivious to the facts.
To some people the truth is no longer palatable. Snake Oil Salesmen at best!!!
Heaven help us all …
PF is in trouble, now Copperbelt is on HH side. PF can be so fooolish, they are even going on radio proclaiming HH’s voice.
THE FATHER OF LIES FASHION
Are you gonna sue Mwakalombe too?
I see no truth in this man’s voice. There is no room for me to have second thought about him. The more he lies, the more I drift farther away from him.
Snakey style.
Chilling denial style.
Utter unpresidential.
Very unZambian, verily verily I say unto you.
When HH says something ati the man is bitter, the man is just reminding you. He is not even bitter, bitter for what as comfortable as he is. Shaaa
Bitter Animo Farm. Zambia was a very peaceful nation until the Privatisation Thief and Money Launder came.
The only CHILDISH and UNDER FIVE politician we have in Zambia.
PF strategy to deflect blame for their incompetence and corruption. They tell their members this: “When in doubt, blame HH and UPND.” Like HH said, people don’t need him to remind them that corrupt Lungu and his minions are favoring foreigners over Zambians in our country. And that they’re busy selling our country to the Chinese. Corrupt Lungu only cares about the Chinese, and the kickbacks he gets from them. These traitors need to be thrown out of office by 2021. Vote them out. And we’ll make sure we monitor the elections closely this time around, so they don’t hoodwink us again. We need patriotic Zambians, who will put native Zambians first above foreigners, to lead our nation—and not these sellouts.
Listened to the interview on Hot FM. The interviewer asked simply, “in your radio interview on Sun FM, you vividly said ZAFICCO had been sold to the Chinese, do you have facts to substantiate your claim??”. hh, “i did not incite anyone to riot…”. And he kept on repeating the same statement throughout. Is this leadership???
I didn’t even know that he was on hot FM this morning, you asking about his leadership skills yet you following him 24/7. Follow,follow,follow, follow the leader, you never used to sing this song Ku primary?
People make news for right and wrong reasons. hh belongs to the latter reason. I would never follow hh as he has never inspired me since 2006. I heard the interview on a whatsapp group because i wouldn’t get out of my way to listen to an hh radio interview.
Awe sure! Now i understand why we have so many Nolle prosecui, i heard on hot FM, i heard on whatsap group,what are yapping about and you calling for his arrest.
So how can you trust such a person. It was ok to sell the mines to Europeans and South Africans because of the benefits it entailed. Let him bid for Zafficco and stem off the Chinese if at all he has information on the alleged sale. But of course he hasn’t going by his giving a different answer to a simple question. I’M A GRADE 7 DROP OUT SAYS ONE UPND CADRE
Who told you that HH sold mines? What powers did HH have to tell the entire MMD cabinet to sell the mines? Was HH the only consultant hired to audit the mines?
Research before you join the bandwagon of genetically modified fools ululating that HH sold the mines. Where were you when MMD govt. sold the mines? Why not ask Mr Francis Kaunda or Nawakwi? where did they take the money from the sold mines?
You are pathetic. Your country is being sold and you continue clapping for pf to continue selling the country to China.
The only TRIBAL leader we have in Zambia.
Because he is an UNDER FIVE and CHILDISH.
Forgive him he is still a boy need to grow up.
He caused the riots. He was asked 10 times whether he had proof that zaffico has been sold, he didn’t answer that question meaning he’s guilty, just arrest him.We need peace.
Speak for yourself please.
It is Lungu and his groupies that need arresting for gross theft and corruption.
Ask Lungu what he has done with the Euro bonds.
I always wonder where Sata got this lot.First they fail to run the country,instead of apologising or taking steps to rectify their mistakes they are now campaining for HH in their naivety.They talk more about HH than they talk about their Great Leader,literally consigning him to the side lines.If their are people with leadership acumen they should push Lungu to fire these people who have made a hobby of shouting HH as the strategy cant work,you are literally decampaining yourselves
What a shame
This man is being handed the presidency on a silver plata but cant seem to take advantage.
The only leader in Zambia who has THREE MANSIONS and refuses prayers.
The Zambian People cannot be taken for a ride any longer. Leave HH alone
Speak for yourself.
The soon to be six-time LOSER.
When we leave him alone is he going to bring back our money from PANAMA?
Handed the Presidency on social media???
…kwekwekwekwekwekwe…because he’s losing the upcoming by-elections…AGAIN…kwekwekwekwekwe….
You are right sir. These PF f.ools are just digging their own graves and no one is to blame unless themselves. Look who killed that student at UNZA = its PF
Who is selling assets in the country to the Chinese = its PF
Talk of shooting one’s foot and pointing fingers at others.
As for UNZA elections and sponsoring it has nothing to do with HH. UNZA has always sided with the opposition because the government in power always suppressed them and they see a better guy outside the circle. There has never been a day when UNZA sided the ruling because the ruling is always afraid of it own shadow. The ruling fails to keep the student well and they (students) will always look for alternatives in the opposition.
Disaster PF always crying. Kuya bebele!!!!
If half of the leaders valued education, UNZA and other universities would be well catered for.. solutions to our country’s challenges lie in innovations that universities apply..
MAD COW DISEASE is a terrible disease. Bitter herbs, bitter hearts and evil hearts.
HH is an ***** just ignore him
So ati you have said something….you even press send
Even PF morons are listening to him on radio coz their drunk can`t utter a word on radio or TV, so the best for them is to listen to HH, what losers, ask that drunk to give an interview, even the Donald Trump ich!puba chilaya pa TV, what is the debarred fyimo fyimo scared of…… tell us you PF cadres coz you know him best
Remember those days we used to get glued to radios and TVs just to listen to kk and chiluba, you could even feel the President’s presence and get inspired, i think this HH has the same swagga , look at pf cadres listening to him on radio.
Yangu tata!! How do you put great politicians like KK and FTJ in the same sentence???? Remember hh lost to Levy, RB, Sata, and Lungu twice: THE GUY IS A POLITICAL FAILURE!!!!!!!!!!@
HH is no different from sir Winston Churchill.
Oh, no!!! hh and Churchill???
my question is very simple, why does the drunk not address the nation either on TV or radio, he chooses Monday Chanda to do the talking for everything that goes wrong, cant he speak English….. I want to understand from people who voted for him
This PF thing, had we known it was going to be a completely failed project that it has turned out to be , we could have voted otherwise.
But in your own wisdom how did you vote yourself? It is not appropriate to say we because each one of us had our own choices and even now we still have our own choices which may be different from yours.
Who honestly thought things would work out under these illiterates and despots? We all knew the truth…the majority saw it but bafoons such as Esau Chuulu subverted the will of the people.
Bufi alebepa ni UPND uyu.
Sata used the same formular. He preached hatred against chinese.
So as he was elected he started eating with Chinese.
No nation can fight china here in Africa. And politians like sata and hh are floating on illiterates in order to get surport .
At least sata was popular and Zambian s would protest each time he was arrested .
If hh was popular why dont Zambian s arise each time he is arrested.
He is popular in NAMWALA.
It is prudent not to give extra judicial evidence where you know the State is trying to find a fault in you and have you arrested….. Every lawyer can agree with me that your client is under no obligation to give any evidence to anyone not even at a radio station….. cases are not tried at radio station but in court. Everyone must choose what to say and do in public with a clear conscience that what he says or do can be used in court….
For example if someone is accusing you of murdering someone , you have the right to be silent and never incriminate yourself…..Truth is fought within the Courts not in the street
Great observation and very sharp of HH to dodge some of the questions because they could use the same to incriminate him.
This is not the true Hakainde Hichilema who went to UNZA. This one is Sanny Chintombwa the son of the cattle rustler Chintombwa from Angola and related to Jonas Savimbi.
I listerned to the interview of the opposition leader on this matter….sp so shameful…. some people are not worth following… no facts..cant answer smpile questions on the subject matter after going on radio to mislead the community.
Edgar won twice first when he campaigned for 21 days he beat his number two by 28,000 votes in 2015. In 2016 beat his closest rival by 100,000.
I can imagine the gap for 2021… after taking development like hospital, schools, airports and roads to the people.
Sata simpathy Votes were at play! Not anymore!!!
Some of us never knew Edgar until Sata appointed him acting prosido and ever since we thoght he was capable but now we know! He has lost our support!
He is a pathetic thief !!
@ZAMBIANS FK And that’s the problem. Knowing how Zambians vote. PF will again win in 2021…. u think PF is unpopular or whatever the case when u get on social media, but in reality the majority voters will vote PF and those are not even on the internet day and night. I just don’t know how best those of us tired of PF can help the situation to keep PF out cause nabo ba UPND ni dololo
I just can’t vote for double h even under gun point.
I would rather waste my vote on Muliokela Dora’s secret admirer. I have to wake up 1000 000 times to be this close thinking about the double h presidency.
HAZALUZA HAGAIN Guinness Book World Record.
Some times when people choose to disbelieve at all cost, you must be careful how you respond….. Pf is not be trusted… the PF is full of wicked people….. the truth will soon be known…..Lungu is worship in Pf and I can assure the Zambians one day they will come for you just like the Nazi did to the JEWS
CHISUSHI TALKING FROM THE ANUS ALL THE TIME
HH would have done himself great good by not picking up HOT FM’s call. He really made a shameless joke of himself on radio. His loyal follower, pastor chileshe, tried some damage control but hey, some things can only be redeemed by Christ Jesus Himself, trust me!
We can`t keep on blaming HH for every thing,get to the root cause of why people were rioting,these are mostly offshoots of poverty.
He puts himself into each and every issue.
The root cause is bitterness, hence the so called leaders can not even justify their unfounded stories.
@Ghost – until we find a better opposition challenging govt or pf on fact not speculation, please let us continue supporting and voting for the hard working pf govt.
Remember when Sata was in opposition he will always back up is issues with facts e.g. the issue of Tandiwe Banda (first lady) under RB was still getting salary as a teacher when she was no longer teaching and only based in state house. Sata produced a payslip to prove his case.
That is the kind of opposition we need in Zambia, not those who will creat stories on social media and go on radio to announce with facts. For this reason I will continue supporting PF govt under Edgar Lungu.
Where has this day dreamer Zambian FK with a cowardly name come from. Brace for hard times, exit is beckoning. Ulendo…..
Supporting pf is just like telling the person who is in the I. c. u to eat nshima they are diabolically, biologically blind unable to differentiate between good and bad due to poverty spirit.
HH and GBM have been preaching about confusion for a long time using private and social media. The police should have caged them a long time ago. These are heartless people who want to see the country go up in flames.
Hopefully Mrs Scotland won’t come to their rescue.
Akainde the liar, where are the contract of sale? Don’t just open that mouth carelessly.
Cataract is the third biggest cause of blindness. Religion and politics remain the first two.
For UPND? No TRIBALISM is the biggest.
But what have we done to deserve this unmitigated suffering? In government, Lungu and his cowboys are running loose. In opposition, we have a Never ‘Say Die’ Mumba, Hakainde ‘Triple H’ Hichilema, Elias ‘Obama Lite’ Chipimo and Andyford ‘Rupiah’ Banda. I can’t see anybody from this list fixing the country.
Where’s Dante Sunders when you need him?
These chaps just fear HH. How can somebody incite a person in Kamitondo? What type of daloness is this kanshi?
When HH says something ati the man is bitter, the man is just reminding you. He is not even bitter, bitter for what as comfortable as he is. Shaaa
HH do not retreat or surrender you are doing your work as watchdog there is no an other opposition who can fight pf internationally , financially , physically,mentally, than you continue we are behind you
ba pf have stepped on a hot iron, every thing has gone wrong though others says let us stop stealing others say me not enough yet. next they want tsale everything to the big buyers the chines.
Comment: give the nation a video so that everyone can hear or see
Comment: we are waiting for the video released from that radio station for HH denounceing for zafico
HH is a danger to humanity. If we had two or three politicians with similar brains and characteristics like HH, Zambia would have suffered civil war by now. Its really a curse to have such kind of people in politics. HH does not realise that his actions has already resulted in loss of life and the latest being UNZA student. All these things will haunt this man for life.
He is clueless on how to get there. In bemba, uyu mwana mukopofye nobuwelewele bwaisulafye chipumu.
I second your motion.
This is one powerful person if he can control every aspect of this country at the snap of his fingers.
I will always state that HH is HOT – BITTER. He is NOW A FATHER OF LIES . This is the greatest WEAKNESS for him. His psychology is clear to the public that HH can’t make a good president of Zambia. He has a CRUEL ATTITUDE worth not to be a leader. I wonder what he will do this month after loosing parliament by – election in mangango, Western province. Anglo-American are using him and soon they dump him . His political nature is full of civil unrest even when elected as president.We better go for lungu than this skinned-hearted man, especially Bembas and easterners be very careful with this HH man.
That is why he will NEVER EVER WIN!
HH has done more harm to our evonomy than good as an opposition leader. The main reason has been that HH is not a good leader but simply an opportunist. He is also very tribalistic a situation he has tried hard to suppress but could be leashed as soon as he has some form of power. All in all HH is very childish and does not have what it takes to contribute to the development of our great nation.
He runs on a tribal platform.
What point of view do you use, when you address HH to be an under five politician?? Or it is just Cadre language?? I Pray that one day, politics of inclination due to poverty which is as a result of individual laziness and being academically challenged can end,, because our current situation is not due to privatization,, it is due to having 90% of people who have never sat on a desk to rule a nation,, stealing will always be there but not at this current scale,, let us assume HH is a thief,, he stall to become rich,, Edgar Lungu had his practicing license revoked due to unethical practices but became more poor and ended up in Chibolya,, who is under Five??
HH is a Privatisation thief and has money in Panama! So you are not aware of it?
This character of lies by under fiver politician HH is what makes him different from his friend Maimane in South Africa. Music goes to court because he has facts our HH rants day in and day out without any facts. Even his fellow kaponyas know him.
PF SOLD ZAFFICO THE SAME WAY THEY ARE SAYING HE SOLD THE MINES. IF HE IS TO PROVE IT, LET THE PF PROVE FIRST HE SOLD THE MINES.
It is okay we just now need to sell HAKAINDE himself to CHARMAINE maybe Mutinta will become sensible too.
