This is the worst leadership since the colonial masters-HH

Share

UPND President, Hakainde Hichilema says Zambians only have one country therefore they should all get involved and take charge of their destiny.

And Mr Hichilema says that he is committed to restoring law and order immediately he is ushered into State House after 12th August, this year.

Addressing marketeers, small scale and medium entrepreneurs and tax/bus drivers from Central, Copperbelt, Luapula, Eastern and Northern Provinces this afternoon, Mr. Hichilema reiterated that once in office, the UPND will create an enabling business environment to support the various businesses in the country.

He also bemoaned the unprecedented levels of poverty in the country, saying he has never witnessed such levels of suffering in his entire life.

“This is the worst leadership since the colonial masters. At my age, I have never seen the people of Zambia suffer the way they are suffering [now]. This BOMA is worse off than the colonial regime. That is why we need change,” said Mr Hichilema.

Mr Hichilema says the PF is trying to use the ‘draconian’ Cybersecurity Bill NAB2 to gag citizens and stop them from using internet services.

He says no media house will be shut and that political interference in the operations of the media would be a thing of the past immediately he is sworn in.

“No media house will be shut down during our tenure in official. One of the laws we are going to reverse is the cyber security Bill. I don’t whether Mr Lungu is going to sign the Bill, though I know he will. They want you to stop using internet. This is the channel we are going to use to deliver health care to our people. We will use technology to deliver services to our farmers. Our duty is to use internet so that when there is an accident drivers can easily notify the insurance company to come to their aid,” said

He has since promised a week-long mobilization tour of the Copperbelt.

“I want thank our colleagues who have travelled all the way from Copperbelt, Northern, Southern and any other part of the country who have joined us this afternoon. We want to thank you for coming here. I want to assure you that I will be coming to the Copperbelt and I will be spending a week there,” he said.

Speaking during the same event, UPND SG, Batuke Imenda said that the the party had chosen to invite marketeers and drivers from the Copperbelt was as a result of the party’s resolve to bring everyone on board as the country goes to the polls on August 12th.

He also called on members of the UPND to go out in the field and mobilize voters, adding that his office would not allow party members to be lazy.

UPND Taxis and Buses Chairperson, Mr Mutale who led the Copperbelt delegation comprising marketeers and drivers from the constituency, district, and provincial stated that

Meanwhile, Gilbert Liswaniso, who is the UPND National Youth Chairperson, has called on UPND youths across the country to be alert and defend president Hichilema in an event that the Police moved in to arrest him over the Kalomo saga involving the Hatembo family.

And please stop pretending that you care about the people of Zambia, Are you not the one who almost beat up a fuel attendant over your ka K10 change. HH you are a hypocrite…Same sim card na Judas Iscariot.

  2. Well said. PF needs to be kicked out and prosecute the convict and his minions.

    The country needs to know how much wealth has been stolen and other atrocities committed by the convict.

  6. I also wish to reiterate my desire to see a well articulated manifesto from your party, not that 10 point plan of yours. I know that even investor confidence in the current regime has dwindled, but the alternative should not be cosmetic either.

  7. Under 5, you are the worst opposition since the colonial days. Perpetual loser, perpetual crybaby, perpetual whiner, perpetual lier and perpetual moron.

    Any stupidity after August, Mukobeko becomes your home eternally.

  10. Says the f00lish boy who took unfair advantage of this country during privatisation, and then sold our natural resources to the same colonial masters. The f00l who is owned by anglo America and the gay imperialists. I don’t have time for such useless baboons. When hh loses again hope he moves to diaspora so that he is reunited with his fellow tribal upnd diasporans.

  12. HH is just a parrot devoid of any decency, he is parroting the fact that we have told him that he presides over the worst opposition Zambia has ever had since the advent of Multiparty democracy in 1991. The reason is that he came in as Tribalist leader ” Only a Tonga can lead UPnD” those who doubt should go back into history after the death of Mazoka. And so for him to use such language for his expedience is naivity of the greatest order.

  13. What a funny world! If HH indeed committed a crime during the privatization of national assets why can’t this brutal regime take him to court to clear his name? They have tried hard to find him with a case but every time they do so they find that he’s as spotless as KK’s white hank

  15. Very true HH ,this toxic PF leadership has taken Zambia to the brink of economic-nuclear implosion.

  16. HH had you been running UPND like the way the founding father of UPND, The Late Anderson Mazoka, you would have been president by now.

    He was a principled human being who was very inclusive.

    Failing 5 times is partly your own making.

  18. THIS F00L ALSO. HE CAN’T REMIND HIMSELF THAT HE IS WORST PUBLIC MONEY CONMAN EVER EXIXTED IN ZAMBIA. UMUNTU NGA AIBA WITH NO POSSIBLE PROSECUTION AND POSSIBLE CONVICTION, THEY START FEELING INNOCENT AND START CALLING OTHERS THIEFS.

  19. This is the worst opposition misleadership since the precolonial era.
    This u5 is has been sounding like an empty tin since 2006.
    Otpelkh² has never made a credible and collaborative statement since he deceptively dribbled Sakwiba to the top position of the once vibrant upnd.
    Halibelela Hukulusa sounds the same. He sounds like a recorded voice that keeps repeating itself at the market calling for customers.
    Same blabs. Bitter man.

  20. Why is HH telling us we are the same level as the Rhodesian days, he was only 3 in 1964 , what did he know and today the PF are in the pocket of the Chinese our real colonial master. this new internet law that PF wants to push through is exact copy of what is in China. the Chinaman wants to keep the people silent, divide them and make them fall . United we stand divided we fall. there must be a Zambian out there that can do better than Lungu or HH.

  21. How come everybody who is against HH here is devoid of any logic? All that is coming out can be summed as bitterness, hatred, jealousy and biasness. Barking just because you have to say something.

  22. How old was HH in the 80s? That was the worst time to live in Zambia. At that time food, schools, clinics, transport, water, clothes, roads, freedong of speech, frerdom of movement and many other things were at the worst. Do not mislead children who were not there.

  23. Can HH hold any dialogue talking only about how he intends to develop this country without the mention of PF and Lungu. PF and Lungu are busy at grass root explaining their achievements and how they intend to do more. There is little character assassination from PF while UPND is the only thing they know. HH must have been in diapers in the 80s that had riots and no freedom whatsoever.

  24. Of course, the best thing ever to have happened to Zambia in HH’s thinking was when the colonialists when in charge of Zambia or Northern Rhodesia. Is it any surprise therefore that HH wants the British and Americans to be in charge of Zambia again?

  25. Ati ba detective…You aware of the court ruling over the Kalomo farm! The court closed the case because of the period of time…and not that ha.lema was innocent..

  26. HH needs to go to Dubai and get vaccinated; in Congo Brazzaville, the leading opposition leader died of Covid 19 on election day.

  27. Create an enabling business environment: These are hanging statement. If really you need real votes from true voter, explain how this will be done.
