Kicking PF out of government is the surest way of restoring the freedoms and liberties that Zambians have-HH

Share

UPND Leader Hakainde Hichilema has promised that the class divide currently being witnessed in Zambia will be no more under his government.

Mr Hichilema says all citizens regardless of religious, political, ethnic or racial affiliation will be allowed to enjoy the inherent human rights without any intimidation as is currently the case under the PF regime.

Mr Hichilema has noted with regret that citizens today cannot assemble freely because they don’t belong to the ruling Patriotic Front.

He added that it is regrettable that people today cannot freely speak if they do not belong to the ruling party or certain groupings in society.

Mr. Hichilema said all the freedoms that have been curtailed by the PF regime including freedom of movement for people with divergent views will be restored under his regime.

“All this shall soon be a thing of the past. We shall all be identified by one common denominator, Zambian!”, said the opposition Leader.

Mr. Hichilema added that kicking the PF out of government is the surest way of restoring the freedoms and liberties that Zambians have.

  1. HH and tribalism,its sad. Iam able to read in between the line. In 1991 instead of using our brains, we used emotions to vote MMD destroyed Zambia, and some of the people who ripped out this country during privatisation are making a lot of noise. They want to come and finish the little that is remaining.

  5. Nostradamus!
    You are not being realistic and honest. Dee stated his opinion which has nothing to do with his/her mum. If you don’t agree, you respond with your view. Most Zambians do know that HH during privatization. How he made can be categorized into two either 1). He made honestly through professional service fees or 2) Stole using his professional skills plus commissions received from companies sales. Now it’s up to any individual to choose to think either of the two. They have their reason to think either because it’s their fundamental right.

  6. Who is this hoodlum called HH? We are enjoying freedoms and liberties already. Only in your warped up brains do you think we do have them.You are the worst dictator in the making and we cant risk having you in the corridors of powers. You are heartless, self-centered and cult focused chap who feels is predestined to rule Zambia albeit looting the economy. We don’t want you. There other Zambians better suited to rule this country than a leader of groupings.

  8. @khumalo Mthunzi- Do your home work my friend you are behaving like most Zambian’s.
    HH did not steal any money trust me, if he had taken a single cent and the proof is there the PF would have used that to their advantage and locked him up for long time.
    I’m not a UPND supporter but we don’t a choice but to support them…they are the only hope..I can’t have another 5 years of this garbage the PF administration. Learn to give credit were it’s due. HH worked so hard to get where he is today. Just swallow the hard pill relax and embrace the fact of life. That Bally is rich and intelligent.
    You make me sick…
    PF must go….and you should go with them.

  9. For us who are BBC (born before computers) know the vinyl record players.
    If there is a scratch on the surface of the record, the needle won’t pass in the next groove, it will be repeat the lyric, instruments in that groove.

    HH song of having stolen from privatization is a broken record.

    It’s like you have a 1950’s Chevrolet which was once your grandfather’s vehicle and you sell it for $300 and the guy who buys it, restores it and sells it for $90,000. Do you call him a thief???

    A few weeks ago it was reported in some sections of the media that GRZ wants to contract a french financial company to restructure zambia’s foreign debt at a cost of $5M.
    These are experts in that field we won’t call them thieves if they grow their 5 million to $100 million.

    HH ‘s business…

  11. we need to booth them out, voters should ensure that their vote is counted and announced before leaving the polling station, malawi has taught us a huge lesson, make sure your vote is counted and announced before leaving the polling station, dont leave room to those who count votes to make a decision for you in 2021.

    • The dynamics of politics differ from country to country, so if you think what happened in Malawi should be replicated in Zambia you are dreaming bro. Mind you Chakwera has only contested for presidency twice and has won the second time, but your tribal leader has contested 5 times without success.

  12. HH ‘s businesses are not government connected (patronage)
    Most of the people we think are business people are just fronts for officials in government to steal from the state, inflating tenders
    When the patron in government goes even the business is dead.

    So give us another song on HH the privatization one is too old and not danceable

  13. This man will be the worst dictator. He controls UPND like a personal property. All the rest of theso called Members of the central committieae just his puppets. They can not challenge him in ny way. That is why you find free minds that think cannot work with him. The GBMs , Sakwibas, Patrick Chisangas, Felix Mutatis have all failed to work with him . What more when he has state power??? God Forbid!!

  14. @ Khumalo Mthunzi, channel your frustrations to @Dee. Be factual too, over HH’s wealth as you are misleading Zambians that HH was in charge of Zambia privatization. HH was not in government, ask those still alive today Valentine Chitalu, head of privatization, Dr Methias Mphande (now Chief) was minister of mines and MMD who gave away assets freely to their cronies like Francis Kaunda and others. Currently,focus on the terrible corruption Zambia is being raped with while you standby and watch hopelessly.

  15. Dream on, you oval headed twit!! On Social media, you are going to win by a landslide-bigger than what FTJ got in 1991. In reality, you will cry rigging again…..

  16. The only sure way to put this privatization zombie where he belongs is a commission of inquiry on privatization.

  17. This white inclined zombie can turn to be another Mabutu of Zambia.He is so infatuated with whites (Anglo-American) bandits, that he is ready to plunge the country into abyss of fire which might end up becoming a dictatorship, a brutal one for that matter.Remember how Hitler and Amin almost exterminated people of other races and tribes? He has that propensity and can do it just to satisfy his masters. Watch him.

  18. There is a herbal BP remedy which is sold at family 24 along lumumba road in Lusaka, it’s called MHT.
    It’s a Zambian product, in zambia its sold for K100, l found it in Dubai at herbal boutique and it’s sold $30 in zambian kwacha that’s like K540 plus, do I call the Indian, Pakistani, guys in Dubai thieves for making a huge abnormal profit on the zambian product not at all.

    HH stole nothing and there is another gentleman who should be brought into the privatization conversation. His name is Valentine Chitalu, he was the director at zambia privatization agency in the MMD FTJ tenure.

  19. -$19 billion in debt(see 2020 UN international debt report…page 144)
    -GDP growth under 2%
    -Double digit inflation
    -K18 to $1(2020)
    Only mental patients would allow the ECL and the PF to continue destroying the country.
    The PF need to be discarded…..ASAP

  20. Finance Bank enjoyed political patronage in MMD.
    All duties at major entry points in zambia where paid through finance bank.
    Fast forward mwanawasa dies and Rupiah Banda becomes the president, all political patronage for finance bank is withdrawn and all hell breaks loose with the owner of the Bank Dr Mathani, eventually he resigns as chairman of the bank and later the bank changes names to Atlas Mara.

    Fred Membe was the moral police starting from the FTJ presidency, mwanawasa presidency Rupiah Banda presidency and Sata presidency.
    Fred ‘s potent weapon was his newspaper the post.
    They went for it using whoever he owed money started with DBZ loan and finally unpaid Taxes with ZRA.

    Kambwili today is pleading for mercy, because he has been strangled his businesses are…

  21. Which supply goods and services to the mines have been cut off from doing business with private owned companies.

    Ba GBM is in pf under duress, all his contract for mealie meal supplies to the army were terminated.

    HH being a hurdle and a competitor would not have been done any favors. If there was anything really wrong with what he did during the privatization he would have been in prison or dry cleaned broke with no moisture left in him

  22. Why is it that every time the question is asked about HHz source of wealth all you receive are insults and why cant ba HH sue those accusers and what is he afraid of? A simple chronology of his education though not very acurate.1979/80 he finishes form 5,1981/82 he goes to the university,1984/85 he finish university education,1987/88 he goes to England for further education,he comes back in 1990/91 he gets a job and works for at least 5yrs by the year 2000 he owns a thousand cattle on a hill and millions of cash in off shore accounts mmmmm…..he must be a genius! UWAFITALA AKAIMWENA kkkkkkk.

  23. Regain our freedoms?

    Now about our freedom/right to life? HH should not even be showing his head in public right now. WHAT A OUT THAT MAN YOUR EMPLOYEES TURNED INTO A HUMAN CARCASS AFTER SUPPOSEDLY STEALING A COW FROM YOUR FARM????

    HOW ABOUT THE VIOLENTLY KILLED FOLLOWERS THAT YOU ENDANGERED???? Get away man, you are too much of a con. A bad ‘see through’ con!

  24. Supreme leader HH of the UPND who has hidden the privatisation loot in the paradise papers because of his greedy and bitterness is already a tribal leader who has managed to hoodwink his supporters into group think mentality…

  25. The only sure way to see PF cockroaches flood Lusaka times is to quote something HH has said. Talk of current corruption and the damaged economy they rush back into their tuma corners. Dull tw!ts. Get ready to be retired in 2021 you incompetent f00ls.

  26. We want to see the UPND manifesto. What will they do as alternative? We have seen what PF can do and we have seen their manifesto. UPND help us with your manifesto so that we can make informed decision. We shall not spend time listening to the same things. We need the manifesto!
    There is no tribalism in government. What is there is cadre-ism. Only cadres are favoured regardless of tribe. We have seen cadres from all over Zambia being favoured.

  27. 7. (1) Subject to this Article and Article 78, the National
    Assembly shall regulate its own procedure and make Standing
    Orders for the conduct of its business.
    (2) The proceedings of the National Assembly shall not be
    invalid due to—
    (a) a vacancy in its membership; or
    (b) the presence or participation of a person not entitled to be
    present at, or to participate in, the proceedings of the
    National Assembly.
    (3) There shall preside at a sitting of the National Assembly—
    (a) the Speaker;
    (b) in the absence of the Speaker, the First Deputy Speaker;
    (c) in the absence of the First Deputy Speaker, the Second
    Deputy Speaker; or
    (d) in the absence of the Second Deputy Speaker, another
    Member of Parliament as the members may elect for
    that sitting.
    (4) The quorum for a meeting…

  28. This is the evil man who campaigned hard to shoot down the BILL OF RIGHTS in the 2016 referendum, and he talks of freedoms today?? What a liar!!! His interest is to deliver the country to his sponsors and make himself extremely wealthy. He has no agenda for this country, no wonder he has no manifesto, no alternative policies or ideas. His support comes mainly from his tribesmen and women.

  29. Here at UNZA ,where UPND cadres have taken control of UNZALARU and UNZAPROSU, members of staff with alternative views are verbally abused and ridiculed. So, what freedom is there to talk about if UPND comes into power when we are seeing HH’s cadres in the two unions at UNZA fail to tolerate those with opposed views. UNZALARU Secretary General, Kelvin Mambwe, is on record having said that if elections were called today only those who eat from PF and *****s would vote for PF. He was clearly inciting Zambians against PF and curtailing people’s freedom of expression to vote for the PF, if they so wish. What more evidence is there for Zambians to have about how UPND would rule if they were to come into power with the utterance by Kelvin Mambwe with political ambitions to stand on UPND ticket…
