First Republican President Kenneth Kaunda’s son Panji, has maintained that he is still a member of the UPND despite his ‘illegal’ expulsion from the party following his declaration to support PF leader Micheal Sata .
He said he had seen nothing wrong in himself for being honest to his party to openly declare the candidate of his choice because he has the right to do so.
He said party members are free to decide for themselves any candidate they wanted to support even if they belonged to different political parties.
He said this during the North western Peoples Pact Forum at Solwezi show grounds. Colonel Panji Kaunda also said that he does not regret the death of the PF-UPND pact despite spearheading its formation.
Col. Kaunda, who is People’s Pact founder member, said it was a well known fact from the beginning that Mr Sata and Mr Hichilema cannot work together.
He added that the duo personalised issues that surrounded the pact saying as a result the two leaders had no time to call on each other to find ways of resolving wrangles that rocked their pact.
Col. Kaunda has since urged Zambians to uphold the peace the country has enjoyed since independence even as the nation goes to the polls for the sake of the young generation.
“Zambians must remain united and maintain this peace we have enjoyed since independence because young ones too needed to enjoy” he said.
But some unidentified people from the small crowd that attended the rally at the show grounds accused Col Kaunda of playing double standards.
The people were heard wondering why Col. Kaunda has resolved to support Mr Sata leaving his party President Mr Hichilema and accused him of being sponsored by the Patriotic Front to campaign on its behalf.
This was after Col. Kaunda told the gathering that he is still a UPND member but will this year support Mr Sata in the forth coming tripartite election.
And All peoples Congress Party (APC) in the North western province says it will not support United Party for National Development (UPND) leader Hakainde Hichilema in this years polls despite the two parties forming a pact.
APC chairman for Solwezi central Nicholas Chaulembe said that the party in the region has however endorsed Patriotic Front (PF) President Micheal Sata as its prefered Presidential candidate for the forth coming 2011 polls.
Mr Chaulembe added that the newly established UPND/APC pact is unrecognized in the province because the UPND decided to form the alliance with APC on unfounded grounds following the death of the UPND-PF Pact.
Mr Chaulembe further called on opposition political parties in the country to unite and endorse one presidential candidate during this years tripartite elections in order to avoid splitting votes amongst themselves in fear of giving the ruling MMD a landslide victory.
ZANIS
There should be loose wires in this soldier’s head. Serve only one master please. Its immoral to have no principles at all. Be normal Panji. If you arer not normal , ok for this occassion, pretend to normal please.
:o Ba Panji, this to me doesn’t make any sense. How can you live this our house and support the neighbors actions against us?
HH IS NOT MATURE…HE HAS KILLED HIS POLITICAL CAREER. VIVA PFFFFFFFFFFFF
Is this one of those like the death of the Pact. HH tells Sata that it is all-over and Sata went to a radio station after a week or so speculating that The Pact between PF & UPND was or is still on. Thus, the fact that Wynter Kabimba had acknowledged the demise of the pact.
Better he joins PF and stimulate the campaign trail full time. Why is Panji troubled-man to join PF? Else, he will now become a bad PR Disaster for PF
Col. Panji is right. It is his democratic right to support any candidate of his choice. No one has denied that. What some of us (or maybe just me) are wondering is what are you doing in UPND then. It is like a journalist for Times of Zambia writing stories for the Post Newspaper. It doesn’t make sense does it?
I personally think the only credible alternative to the MMD is the UPND. This is because the UPND also has good policies and is also democratic. PF is too uncertain and undemocratic.
What do u mean by UPND being democratic? Is your memory short? Remember the circus after the death of Mazoka
sata is not trusted,hh not trusted rb not trusted aswell.who do we trust then?
#1 AND 2 THIS IS A PEOPLE PACT LEADER…HH HIMSELF SAID THE PACT WAS NOT BETWEEN SATA AND HH, BUT IT WAS THE PIPO’S PACT. HH DECIDED TO PULL OUT WITHOUT CONSULTING THE PIPO…I SEE IT TO BE AN FAIR TO CALL PANJI MAD…I WOULD SAY HH IS MAD AND LACKS POLITICAL JUDGEMENT COZ THIS WILL COST HIS PARTY
No 7: Oh no, to my knowledge, Winter Kabimba first called for the dissoulution of the pact before UPND. That aside, people’s pact with who? Well, to avoid wastage of time, his behavior shows how irrelevant he is. As a son of a former head of state, he should have been influential than he is now thae fact that he is not confirms that He is not a factor BUT a liability even to PF. Watch this out. The only disgusting thing is his rantings that seem to have no direction. Better support the people’s pact in a right forum? Cheers Sir/Madam
Tis is nonsense still, this colonel is going bananas. Lack of seriousness in zed politics.
Uh, surprise, surprise. Seems like in MMD they don’t allow people to have a choice. Panji is an adult and what he just did is what adults who have brains do. Pick their choices despite which party they below to. I have not heard Panji say he hates UPND, but has basically made a choice of who he thinks is the right candidate in this coming Presidential elections. So, hey ba MMD, if that hurts you, why don’t you also just pick your candidates? No one is stopping you. After all you will all vote for Sata when that time comes. Who knows what you will do in that voting booth?
5# Mr. Capitalist – 3 E’s steering economic growth.
Well said analogy, my man!… It can only mean one thing. He is not sure of PF and wants to leave a “Get-Out-Support-Clause” just in case the wind of change does not favour his unbalanced stance or position that he keeps swinging on, from North Pole to South Pole and all over again
#7 thumbs up to you!
APC chairman Chaulembe is right. Why should the opposition be divided? We in the PF should only argue with MMD.
Small clubs like UPND,ADA,APC,Siulpwa’s party and others should argue among themselves because they are fighting for third position.
The big two PF and MMD are fighting for first position.
VOTE SATA AND PF IF YOU WANT CHANGE.
BEWARE OF SMALL TRIBAL PARTIES WHICH JUST SPLIT THE VOTES.
NO 10 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA POINT TAKEN. ADULTS MUST HAVE PRINCIPLES AND MORALS AS THEY MAKE CHOICES. I CAN IMAGINE THE Man U goal keeper supporting Chelsea in tomorow’s game! The Sir will look at him as mad and may just fire him or substitute him for lack of morals. And so is this colonel
PANJI, I will call you my elder brother because you are older than I am. I know you read LT Blogs. My advice to you is to remain STEADFAST. Because, you will sink and fail to walk on water like Peter (Jesus’s Disciple). That said, we are human bound to learn from our mistakes. Try this below.
PSALM 112:6-8
Surely he will never be shaken; a righteous man will be remembered forever. He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. His heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in triumph on his foes.
People do not take Panji serious in Zambia, even in Eastern Province…no wonder people think he might be insane….
Having watched Chanda Chimba III’s stand up for Zambia this evening and seen the way Sata behaved or performed on two live phone in programmes on QFM and Radio Phoenix, I believe only total nut cases will support this man to ever lead a nation. Sata is anything but sane.
#1,2,5,9,11,13,14. Very funy,made my day
why has this man suddenly captured the interest of the media? He is not newsworthy at all!
#15.Very very funy.Zed is funy.Nothing seem serious.So far I dont see a very able potential president.All jockers.Look at Panji!What does his father say after declairing the Sata is not preidential material.Zed is going round and around.Very funy.
Mr Panji Kaunda coming from a military back ground can go on that path, discipline is cardinal in all areas of life, just accept reality and go for your favorite candidate and campaign with all energies without distraction from other quarters of UPND – HH for the Future which starts this year
You cannot say it is the people’s pact when you yourself is supporting a certain candidate, thats really double standards, if you watched Panji’s campaign rally, you would notice that people were not happy with him, and were even regreting their attendance, which was full of core boys and school going children. Panji do not even waste your time campagning for Sata because many in these areas do not want him and will never vote for him as they are now more aware of his past deeds from Chanda’s messages. Mr Col. if you want to sell this thug, first apologise on his behalf for his attrocities and crimes in the Chiluba regime e.g the third term bid against the constitution, arresting your father KK for nothing, recomending to Chiluba to strip the powers of the Litunga, Us$ 27 000 etc.
May be we are going back to our younger days of “vows to somebody” and “flirting with another”.
This is political polygamy!
Panji is a true zambian Man (UPND is wife, PF is girlfriend). Don’t we all have that stage in life one time or the other?????????????????
Girlfriend (PF) is happy as it is the beneficiary, now it is up to the wife (UPND) to decide.
Well I have to admit I’ve just been re-educated. So, meanings of words and terminologies can be stretched further than I thought possible. And a whole new world opens up. So one can be married and single at exactly the same time. Can be a full and active member of a political party and nonpartisan simultaneously. Can be a supporter of Chelsea and happily wish that Chelsea loses to Arsenal with no qualms. This is a form of dual citizenship of the brain, I suppose. The fascinating part of it all is that when I search the internet using the above rationale, I am coming up with ‘Alzheimer’s disease’ and ‘Vascular Dementia’. Now lets see. What could this mean?…. Hmmm ….Ahaaaa! I’ve got it. Using the same rationale, normality and fully blown Dementia are mutually inclusive in a person.
N0.6 please trust only God if you are a believer. all are fake politicians who are just after their pockets.
#cont, add the lesbian and homo issues, though I wonder if you will manage to finish making apologies before he commits more attrocities. What Sata and Panji are advocating for is not democracy but a one party state, how can we all have one opinion. Please, Sata and Panji spare us your crap of dictatorship. We cannot remove the MMD and have the rotten Sata as a replacement, no way. HH is the best as he represents our generation. Actually Panji is making people hate Sata more because these two are advocating for a one party state by telling people to have one opposition party to gang against MMD. For what purpose, is it to put this thug in statehouse or what, if that is the reason then spare us that crap.
These are all tactics of Sata of thinking people are not aware that him and his PF spoiled the pact, no wonder Kabimba is now silend leaking his wounds. Sata your next punishment will be painful to say the least. Who did not know that HH was the only one pushing that pact with you pf while you were making him look like a fool, even mocking him that he cannot win without us, hence he wants to ride on our backs. You are now realising your mistakes and the young man is saying it is over dealing with untrusted and dishonest people. So for you to use this naive Col.Panji to push for your motives pretending he is a member of UPND really shows how unwise and inconsistent you are. Sata grow up you are now elderly and zambians are now mature in politics who cannot accept this nusense.
11 & Independent Observer – You have made my day as well.
Panji appears to be swinging without a sense of right path. He needs to get some wisdom from old man KK who is always giving it free to anyone that wants wisdom. Whats wrong with all these elders that have had 3 or more marriages before, such as Chiluba, Sata and now Panji illuminating every week
Seriously, this can make a good play. Difikoti and Bikiloni can handle this well if they are still in the business.
# 6
my bro/sis trust God. He is the creator. The first and the end. Him alone you can trust.
You should believe the horse’s mouth. Col you are right. Offering an objective opinion of letting UPND and other small parties back Sata was right and not done out of malice. Unless all small parties team up it will be impossible to dislodge MMD.
(in picture-Kachepa360 owner Chisala Bulmaga) A leak just received has exposed the woman behind the gossip website Kachepa360. The leak from a lady claiming to have been unfairly attacked by the website, states that a story full of lies was published; she was neither contacted nor given a chance to defend herself. She claims Kachepa360 has gone out of its way to attack anybody without substantiating or making reference to real occurrences. Unlike other international gossip forums that target politicians, the rich and famous, Kachepa360 seems to have adopted a ‘revenge’ platform status where if some man or woman was hurt out of a relationship, they simply email some story (real or imaginary) on the ex to the site for publication.
She claims there are numerous Zambians, both local and…
Quote ‘…….Col. Kaunda has since urged Zambians to uphold the peace the country has enjoyed since independence even as the nation goes to the polls for the sake of the young generation.
“Zambians must remain united and maintain this peace we have enjoyed since independence because young ones too needed to enjoy” he said.
Recently, didn’t we hear this gentleman predicting violence in Zambia this year? Or does he preach violence only when the Post is preparing a statement for him?
educationist @ 24 and nutral man @ 29 – Yeah, trust in God, but the problem is he’s not standing in the elections. As for Panji, is this his title ‘First Republican President Kenneth Kaunda’s son’?
Panji was not, and has neverbeen a factor in UPND. But we now see Poor Finishers (PF) and the PAST news paper making a factor out of him. Zambians be asured that will remain factorless for the UPND and for the country at large! Viva UPND, viva HHHHHHHHHH
this guy is a lunatic..there is no way he would want to have sata to be president coz RB and Chiluba due to Wezi’s death…let him live reality and stop day dreaming..viva UPND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Iwe ka Donchi Kubeba, HH DOESNT DEPEND ON POLITICS, HE CAN MAKE IT WITOUT POLITICS. Recenty, world bank offered him a job but he declined it coz he wants to help lost people like you by improving da economy of this country. He wants to create jobs for people like you who just sit in an internet cafe the whole day after pickpocktening a few kwachas.
Who would give Sata a job????? Give me an answer!!!!
Is it true that Panji told someone that HH cannot punish RB and CHILUBA if he was president,but SATA? Is it true that the KK family are still looking for someone to fix Chiluba over the death of Waza? Is it true that SATA to the Luapula voters not to vote for Kasonde because he was going nto sell Bembas to Lozis when he was in MMD?Is it true that SATA recommended to CHILUBA for the stripping if LITUNGA powers?Ii it true that SATA said that people of North Western province are primitive when he was in MMD? Is it true that SATA disolved mmd bauleni branch when MAZOKA won treasurership because SATA didnt want him to lead MMD after CHILUBA,Is it true that SATA was purnishing and expelling third term opposers against the law?Is it true that SATA supports homo and lesbians?
And All peoples Congress Party (APC) in the North western province says it will not support United Party for National Development (UPND) leader Hakainde Hichilema in this years polls despite the two parties forming a pact.
APC chairman for Solwezi central Nicholas Chaulembe said that the party in the region has however endorsed Patriotic Front (PF) President Micheal Sata as its prefered Presidential candidate for the forth coming 2011 polls.
Panji’s father KK, FTJ and Fred Mmembe told us what kind of a man Sata is, and that he can not be trusted for president. This was just before the 2006 general election. What Chanda Chimba is doing today, was done by the post in 2006. What has changed now iwe ka Mmembe? I challenge the post to reproduce the editorial comments for the seven days before the 2006 elections. its the reason why I didnt vote for Sata then. When did Sata become an angel iwe ka Mmembe? Ba PF dont have short memories please!!!!!
UPND is the only party that can redeem us people who are civil servants. no other party can redeem us. vote HH for real change
Contd.Is it true that MMEMBE is the nephew to Inonge Wina?Is it true that Arthur Wina risked leadind MMD against KK/UPND?Is it true that CHILUBA went to Luapula to declare against Arthur Wina for mmd presidency when it was certain KK was loosing?
AND IS IT TRUE THAT INONGE WINA IS THE WIFE TO LATE ARTHUR WINA(Lozi )whom SATA warned the Luapula people not to vote for KASONDE(Bemba) beacause he would sell the Bembas to LOZIS?Is it true that SATA wanted to use Sakwiba to win Lozi votes and when Saki failed he was fired by SATA?Is it the same reason why INONGE was appointed by SATA to improve on SAKI’s POOR PERFORMANCE?Is this the worry and fear of both INONGE and MMEMBE that his aunt will be sacked like SAKWIBA?
WHAT CAN YOU DERIVE FROM THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS OF SATA”s character?
A meeting was held in Kitwe where PF resolved that hh SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWE TO PRESIDENT coz he will restock cattle in Southern, Western and N/W provinces and that would make thse people powerful. In order to achieve this, Panji should disturbilise UPND in these provinces with the issue of People’s Pact so that UPND can rise agains hh and ask him to resign.Mmembe is paying for all the expenses. They want to push in Bob Sichinga through the back door, who in turn will accept the pact with Satan. Thats whys Satan still says the pact is not dead. Shame on all these tribalists. You want to bring the old politics you id i o ts!
The Truth Pains # 40 my brother , YES is the answer to all your questions!!!!
“The son of first president” -Does it mean Panji cannot stand by himself OR he is doing and saying whatever he is doing with the blessing of KK.”KK looking for Chiluba’s destroyer and finisher through SATA/PF/PANJI”. Is PANJI creating mob mentality in un-suspecting Zambians revenge against CHILUBA? So SATA/MMEMBE/PANJI/PF are plotting that HH MUST BE GOTTEN READ OF IN WERSTEN PROVINCE and sing using POST/MMEMBE tribal propaganda against HH/UPND.
HOLY ADVICE TO HH IS THAT CAMPAIGN TO THE GLORY OF GOD .NO INSULTS,TRIBALISM,VENGENCE AND HATE.JESUS WAS BETRAYED BY MONEY HUNGRY JUDAS LIKE THE “UPND MONEY HUNGRY DEFECTORS”if any.
so when Nawakwi supported RB, it was a noble cause to do for MMD supporters eh! Did you at any time say Nawakwi join MMD? Politics in zambia has gone past the dogs, its right ku shit farm
shi.t farm naimwe ba MMD in disguise as LT
why same people since 1964 panji and sata i will not forgive them myself there are a batch of people which have failed us zambians. a true zambia supposed to proscute these chaps not to sing praise songs for these failures. you’re what you are you who worship these guys because of these characters.
VIVA PANJI VIVA CORRECT THING. VOTE FOR MICHEAL CHILUFYA SATA FOR REAL CHANGE.PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE KA DONCHI KUBEBA CHAP JUST HATES HH… WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING YOUR HATE SPEECH FOR A LONG TIME: WE KNOW THAT THIS CHAP DONCHI KUBEBA IS A BEMBA TRIBALIST WHO LIVE IN POVERT AND JUST HATE PEOPLE WHO ARE WELL TO DO: MY FRIEND NOTHING JUST COME EASY: MY ADVISE TO YOU IS WORK HARD; DONT JUST HATE PEOPLE FOR NO REASONS: DONT INSULT PEOPLE OTHER WISE YOU ARE JUST DECAMPAINGING YOUR PRESIDENT SATANA! VIVI MAN OF PEACE! VIVA HH! VIVA YOUNG LEADERSHIP!
sata is not change! That nigga was in govt from kaunda error to MMD.. So what change do you want. Just say recycleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed! We need real change and not a go’nga change! HH represents real change. My vote is for HH and UPND.
Expel Panji, admit Shakafuswa? Total nonsense.
On what basis have they expelled Panji?He is just a mere member of UPND.He holds no position in the party.HH is becoming an embecile in his thinking.A person who should be expelled is one in NEC position not a member.That is the reason as to why I am not in support of defections.They are fake and a sheer waste of time.Hypothetically,those defection are just on paper and not a reality.
My advise to HH is what the Luvale say “Swita meya, kanda wivwilila vimbotwe” – Go on doing good and pay no attention to useless people. Us from Northwestern are behind you HH. We don’t like SATAN at all. Even if he brings Panji or Waza wa Kaunda, or any living or dead person or anything, it will not help him. HH, you are our Presidential choice because you speaks sense, you are logic, and you are young and inspiring. We, in Northwestern do not care about about charisma. The Chokwes say “Lunga mana chizundamo chamokomoko” – A man is the brain, and not the looks. I rest my case.
This makes me love my motherland just more……….nipa zed…………….politics yamu bombaza at its best with ba col Panji panja kaunda!
On
“This was after Col. Kaunda told the gathering that he is still a UPND member but will this year support Mr Sata in the forth coming tripartite election”
it is interesting that Panji is still in shock as mush as Sata MC of PF is.
Do these two think that they can cheat any Zambian? Maybe that is how very old people who have lost their ability to reason think.
For me, it is HH and UPND this 2011.
This is what Mpombo had to say about Namulambe in today’s edition of The Past and I quote,
“I know the chap right from the days when he served as my office clerk when I was DISTRICT GOVERNOR for Ndola rural in 1990. That chap had the tendency of reporting his colleagues, especially senior officers to me as DISTRICT GOVERNOR, all with a view to getting favours,” end of quote. Kanshi Mpombo was also a DG just like Sata, and that was in 1990 and before!!! Birds of the same feather . . .!! Viva HHHHHHHH THE REAL CHANGE!!!
Ba Panji talaleni fye. King cobra will dump you as soon as the elections r over. Continue making noise with your other brother Waza. Sata is a master dribbler. Wina azalila, i m telling u.
