  1. He only wanted an escape from a jsil sentence whuch was very possible. Just like he violated Scotland’s efforts he will do the same even this time and continue with what he knows best….violence.

    • Politician is never to be trusted…inciting violence and at the same time sneaking behind his supporters backs and having late night meetings with Lungu…whilst you supporters are hacking each other with machetes these guys are dining on some expensive meals together…dont be surprised if you find out that Lungu and HH have been communicating for more than 3 years…

    • Peace and security is significant in the nation. However, Ministry of National Guidance should question the morality behind overpriced projects eg the recently built Toll Gate. These are things that breed dissention in the Country.

    • What did they talk about? What did they agree or disagree on? Can we safely call this a dark corner meeting? Was this meeting about the two of them only, what about the people?

    • And blogger Sharon thinks HH and Lungu are enemies…only when they talk to their supporters but backstage these guys have always been buddies and thats how Politicians fool everyone…just pay attention how they interact once they meet at funerals etc….Esther Lungu and Mutinta…..Lungu and HH most of the times with smiles on their faces….GBM and Lungu always laughing together…..Donchi Kubeba mwila lila lila shiii…..and you Sharon always insulting your fellow opposition bloggers like Jay Jay and Spaka like lilo…..

    • HH and Lungu have been meeting in secrecy for more than 3 yrs for brown envelope but now they just want to make it official….NEVER TRUST A POLITICIAN….am sure you’ve heard this before….look at Kabila and Katumbi….you might think they’re enemies but Katumbi is systematically shielding Kabila…..Late Sata told us ” Donchi Kubeba”

  2. Zambians must just open their eyes, politicians will use them for senseless violence while they(politicians) are drinking tea together behind closed doors. The type of opposition of confrontation cannot be sustainable.

  3. A meeting in itself is good but not enough. What is important is what was discussed and agreed. HH or anybody can trust ECL at his Peril. That was just a Tactical retreat on the part of ECL. Otherwise a Leopard can Never change its Spots.

  4. This religious affairs ministry is a serious waste of tax payers money. These are the drains on the economy that some of you don’t see. I am a pastor myself but I can tell you this ministry does not add value to your salvation AT ALL.

    • National Guidance shouldn’t be in a Ministry. The Ministry is too PF. We need a neutral body on the lines of church mother bodies united. Someone who thinks PF is Jesus is not my idea of one who can give good guidance to the nation.

  5. THIS IS NONSENSE. WHAT IS SHE DOING WHEN HER MASTER AND OTHER CLONIES ARE STEALING?PLEASE DON’T HIDE IN THE NAME OF THE BIBLE MADAM. YOU KNOW ALL THE NONSENSE HAPPENING.YOU ARE JUST PRETENDING. AKRISTO THIS IS A BIG JOKE OF THE TIME.SHE IS NOT TALKING ALL THE MALPRACTICES WHICH HAVE HAD HAPPENEND. WHERE IS THE FEAR OF GOD?
    I HOPE SHARON WILL POST SOMETHING SENSIBLE LELO!KIKIKI

  6. What about other political parties

    I think this meeting was about pending arrest and it unfortunately that barely after being saved, the man goes back saying he will continue his activities.

    Its not right to broadcast lies

    And it unfortunate that when big powers intervene in some of these cases its the same people that complain about political interference

  7. Ba Godfridah nabo.
    Gets paid hefty allowances, free car, house, workers, holidays for just doing the job of applauding, ba Jona & P.F.
    Some folk are extremely lucky, & hence she is Jona’s cheerleader, as Godfridah is well aware, when a new sober Government comes to office, it will be Goodbye to freeloading.

  8. Do not say UNKNOWN LOCATION when it is known by the people who were there when the two were brought face-to-face. Say a place secret to some of us. If this location remains secret, then I shall start to trust the conveners that they can keep things to themselves until time is right open up to the citizenry.
