Nawakwi urges Zambians not to Vote for HH

Share

Edith Nawakwi, the leader of the opposition Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) has urged Zambians not to vote for United Party for National Development (UPND) leader Hakainde Hichilema due to his neglect of Zambians, hundreds of whom have since died.

Speaking in Livingstone and clad in the ruling Patriotic Front(PF) campaign outfit, Ms. Nawakwi said that she is in possession of intel that shows that some companies Mr. Hichilema holds majority shares in are responsible for the “needless” deaths of many pensioners from companies such as BP and KCM whom Mr Hichilema has wantonly refused to pay even on their death beds.

“Pensioners have died while waiting for companies Mr Hichilema heads such as Surtnia Regina, Africa Life and Sanlam,” Ms Nawakwi said.

“If he cant pay simple security guards and retired miners now when he is ab ordinary citizen,” Nawakwi said before adding: “what do you think he will do with these levels of arrogance and callousness as President?”

Welcoming defectors from UPND, MDC and NDC to PF, Ms Nawakwi said that Mr Hichilema has already promised to hurt the Zambian civil service publicly.

“He will scrap 50 percent of civil service jobs, police, teachers, nurses, etc which President Lungu wants to increase,” Nawakwi said,

“He has also promised to cut down by 50 percent civil servants salaries, is that the kind of President you want? I would rather stick with President Lungu who has a heart for the people.”

Ms Nawakwi said as a former Finance Minister, she knows where Mr. Hichilema´s “political bodies are buried” including the various deals he has signed to “auction to foreign interests, especially from South Africa.

  1. She has credibility – so most people will believe her.

    She makes sense. Why attack a fellow opposition though ?

    I hold a PhD

  3. Jezebel Nawakwi is a PF Surrogate and nobody will listen to her. In fact Nawakwi is Campaigning for HH and decampaigning PF. Jazebel said that she was not going to rest until HH is arrested b4 August and his name removed from the Ballot Paper. Well she has failed to block HH’s Nomination and HH will be on the Ballot Paper . With Macmillan’s wind of Change is blowing across Zambia most voters want a Change of Govt and that Change and Hope is HH and UPND Alliance. People are Angry and Hungry for a change of Govt in Zambia. They are sick and tired of ECL and PF Misrule. On August 12 People will vote for the Sober,Principled and Visionary HH to turnaround this Economy and our lives. ECL and PF will be sent “ku wire” on August 12 without fail.The writing is on the wall.

  5. Nobody is going to tell us who to vote for and who to not vote for. We have done our own assessments especially with all economic stats in negative even before Covid came

  6. Go Nawakwi go! Not only does HH want to mortgage the country, particularly the mines, to his South African imperialist friends. He just cannot unite the country. He failed to condemn attacks on Northerners and Easterners by UPND cadres in Namwala in the aftermath of the 2016 elections. Again, we have seen a repeat of the same attacks and HH has remained silent. He is no leader.

  10. Only satanists will vote for a satanist like hh.

    Why do you think upnd officials are ugly like Anthony bwalya? They are the devil’s disciple

  11. The devil is a liar. Edith Nawakwi has allowed the devil to use her. The devil comes to destroy, not to build. Edith was a minister of Finance why did she not report HH at that time? The end of a liar is terrible. Both Nawakwi and Kambwili enjoy lying. I do not know whether to call them honorable or dis-honorable people. Anyway, let me call them honorable even though they are liars because they love to be called honorable. There are positive things they can campaign on behalf of PF: massive development, but they have failed to defend why many people continue to go hungry at the expense of infrastructure and the cost of infrastructure for almost 10 years. That is what they are suppose to defend. Lying comes from the mouth of the devil and its servant. God has a price for liars. They are…

  12. Just happy Mushota is still alive. The work of an opposition is to opppose so as to make the party in government work. If Nawakwi cant oppose, then she is not an opposition leader and therefore should officially join the ruling party. Why forming the opposition when you are satisfied by the work of the party in power?

  13. I am an adult, can somebody surely tell me who to vote for. Inflation is at 23%, Exchange rate is at K23 to a dollar, reserves at BOZ are depleted except for a few kgs of gold, Unemployment is at its highest, debt is unsustainable, with these kinds of stats I would rather go for the devil I don’t know than on the same path, so nobody needs to tell the Zambians who to vote for. This is a straight forward issue and this election is surely a no contest.

  16. Hatred, envy and jealous should not be used in selecting a President. Competency, intellect and capacity which is surely missing now going by the EVIDENCE of the state of the economy must be used to choose the way forward. This election is the easiest exam for any Zambian and nobody should be trying to offer fake leakage.

  17. When my dear brother spoke to the ills of cobra…people didnt listen…the results are before your eyes…he is now since passed on from cancer but had people listened…? I hope we are listening to what persons with calculators plan for this nation

  18. She thought Lungu will anoint her as his running mate but alas the oil of anointment landed to Luonyokolola’s ugly Zinjanthopajn face.

  19. Please do not call this woman ‘leader of the opposition FDD,’ because there is no FDD let alone OPPOSITION. What is she opposing? She had a joy ride to Brazil with Sata. She has never opposed PF. She is a surrogate.
    What about the Civil servant pensioners who died while waiting for their pensions when YOU Edith was finance minister? What about the pensioners who are dying now while waiting for their pensions under Edgar? This is the same problem with The Post newspaper and tax. Times of Zambia, Zanis, ZNBC and Daily Mail go for months without paying their employees and have not paid tax for years, but they have never been closed.

  20. Ignore her message at your own peril. Those financial stats people qoute are bound to get better with Govt interventions so if you base your decision on how things are today its your choice. For others like me we analyse the interventions and see whether things will get better and base the decision on that. In short we’re not moved by emotions but clear articulation of issues at hand. So far UPND mumbles some solutions here and there without being coherent. They can’t even put up a clear manifesto.

  21. Finished politicians, leave Zambians alone to make their own decision. If it is HH they want so be it

  22. I am PF but I cant get instructions from her on who to vote for, these are the people destabilizing our party. Why cant she disband her 2 man party and join us, you cant continue being called a leader when you have absolutely no followers

  23. I hope the fear is not that if it goes the other way, maybe those carlington maize issues might come up.

  24. Right on Edith, you are very brave woman! No normal person will vote for Hichilema on August 12, because hes a sworn tribalist, crook, thief, privitization crook , pompous character. Dont worry Hichilema will not win, he may even be relegated to third or forth position this time around, since he wont be able to rig in Southern and Western provinces, with the new digital voters register!

  25. Nawakwi, inform us who to vote for, that will be enough. As for the other accusations, that is what it is only, accusation/s.

  26. What a useless liar and unprincipled being. Where is your party? A lapdog for the PF is what she has turned into. She is scrapping the bottom of the barrel to find a miniscule of relevance for her existence – like some here who shockingly think she has any credibility left

  27. Singing the same old song of selling companies. Were you not part and parcel of selling companies? In fact you were his boss as minister of finance. People who live in glass houses……

  28. To vote for PF hoping that things will get better is like a frog sitting in a pan of cold water on the fire. He feels amanone thinking that the water will get better as it gets warmer until he is boiled to death.

  29. Hahahahahahahaha!

    Him and his disciples are so freaking afraid of her.
    She is like pain in their **ses.
    Freaky demons.
    Crazy little se.xi.sts.

  30. To some people like NAWAKWI a win for PF especially Lungu is more important for their lives as they will be completely finished

  31. Ba Kaira and Ba Nawakwi,

    Your days are numbered. She has to pay back the DBZ loans and you will also account for your wealth

  32. I have been watching and listening to Ms. Edith Nawakwi talk on how Mr. Hakainde Hichilema is controlling pension funds in Zambia. The last time she was talking about how H.H privatized the mines (national assets). In my life, I try hard to stay away from politics but can’t help but think Ms. Nawakwi is campaigning for H.H indirectly because only an intelligent crook or a genius can do what she claims he has done. He has blinded the Zambian government, stolen the pension funds and privatized the mines, while the government is watching.
    Maybe we need those skills in State House. With those skills, he might be part of the solution to our deteriorating country/national fibre.

  33. Poor Edith, her creditors are breathing by her neck n taking down the incoming president presents the best opportunity to get them loan sharks off her.

  34. In 1991, Zambian got so excited and made a big mistake by voting UNIP which set up serious manufacturing industrials, These coming elections don’t vote using your emotions ati economy..you will end up regretting therefore think as for me … I can’t vote for one who almost beat up a fuel attendant over his K10 change he has no heart of the country you will know by their fruit.. Auction sale ka Zambia..

  35. HOPE HH SUES THIS WOMAN FOR DEFIMATION OF CHARACTER. NOTHING BUT LIES COME FROM HER MOUTH. SHE IS A DESPERATE WOMAN WHO WILL TRY ANYTHING TO KEEP POWER !!!

  36. I had no intentions of voting UPND but because of this vuvuzela Nawakwi. I am now VERY much compelled to vote UPND.

  37. So sad to see Edith sink so low! I really loved her the first time in govt; she was very promising. Whatever happened to her? Look at who she is talking to? About miners in Livingstone; seriously? She needs friends to tell her to have some self respect, stick to Hungarian Sausages.
