UNITED Party for National Development (UPND) president, Hakainde Hichilema has said Patriotic Front (PF) leader Michael Sata has no credibility and is only depending on The Post newspaper to boost his image.
Mr Hichilema said at a Press briefing in Lusaka yesterday that Mr Sata’s popularity had reached a new low despite the vigorous campaign launched for him by The Post, which he described as a PF information department.
He said Mr Sata’s popularity had drastically gone down and that The Post had failed to revive it.
Mr Hichilema said the newly-coined slogan that PF had formed a pact with the people of Zambia was a smokescreen having realised that there was nothing left for Mr Sata.
“They want change, what change do they want because they have been in Government for over 57 years? What has been changing are titles, today he is governor tomorrow he is minister and so on,” Mr Hichilema said.
He said The Post had resolved to stop covering UPND and wondered why the tabloid had started fabricating lies that his party was discussing formation of an alliance with the ruling MMD.
Mr Hichilema said apart from personal attacks against leaders and calling them by their tribes, Mr Sata did not know how to articulate issues and did not even understand economic management.
“You cannot have a newspaper which is always fighting people. I cannot sue them because I do not have a small brain and I do not make money out of suing others, I do business. We will just continue talking about these issues but things will be fine one day,” Mr Hichilema said.
He said if he won the elections, he would provide free education to the Zambian people and grow the economy by re-introducing windfall taxes for the benefit of the Zambian people.
The UPND leader said The Post newspaper was becoming unprofessional by not calling UPND to seek clarification each time they made accusations.
“We are ahead and The Post newspaper and their candidates are trailing. This is the reason they are panicking and fabricating lies about alliances which do not exist,” Mr Hichilema said.
The UPND president called on the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) to resolve anomalies on the voters’ register, and that he had asked for a meeting with them to discuss some important electoral issues.
He said this would guarantee free and fair elections and bragged that he had been to the United States of America to discuss democracy which some leaders like Mr Sata had never done.
[ Times of Zambia ]
HH you are an amoeba. No spine, no form. You are the one who has flip-flopped all over the place. Where do you stand in terms of advancing Zambia?. Stop with the finger pointing and show your balls!
HAHA HECHIHECHI (HH) THE NEW MMD VUVUZELA IS AT IT AGAIN! ASK THE PF REBELS THE WAY THEY HAVE BEEN DUMPED…IF YOU THINK RB WIL GIVE YOU A JOB YOU ARE CHEATING YOURSELF..YOU WILL BE USED AND DUMPED LIKE TOILET PAPER AND FLUSHED DOWN THE DRAIN TO END UP IN MACHINCHI SEWER PONDS….
Well done Mr President. You have just stated the truth and nothing else but the truth. Continue with your real change angenda and just ignore these muppets.
All points are correct. Am sure more will come up as the campaigns hot up. Sata started by claiming that HH had no experience, he called him Kajongosi (small ox) in Kabwe who should be paired with bulls which was a wrong terminology all together. Kajongosi or what ever the spelling is, is used for ploughing while bulls are for mating with cows. Sata during that same meeting in Kabwe mentioned that HH stole some money. He has forgotten his medical stores scandal that had made late Mwanawasa to resign from govt. Personally I would encourage HH to go for eye for eye because that is what Sata deserves. He thrives on rumours and lies with the help of the Post newspaper, a paper that has been turned into an PF mouth piece.
Shame on you Tonga boy. One can see how dismantled you are. Honestly why talk about Sata if at all his standing has gone down? You surprised me and thats why i fully agree with Panji that you are a selfish arssehole.
HH is the man to lead Zambia. The whole world is looking to young people to bring real change and we have *****s busy trying to get old people to continue running down this country.
These same *****s are busy saying he Sata or RB have experience, what has experience done to your country ?
When HH said the govt has money and can easily do raods and schools, everyone was laughing , now RB steals the idea and sees the money, HH says ,mines are underpaying tax, govt wakes up to the idea.
Zambians !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go HH. Tell them young man. Even here the Pa Fwaka team is panicking big time. What change can come from someone who has been a staunch UNIPIST and a Machet-man in Chawama under MMD? 50 years in Politics and he still wants another 5 (?) years to make it 55 years+. VIVA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Very arrogant young man no wonder you are an under 5 you will die with your tribal party. Come what may the race is between Sata and RB you will just continue to play the spoiler. Mind you this time we are fielding all candidates in all constituencies and wards. You have done it before as UPND and you failed to perform. PF in the past elections have only be fielding candidates in four provinces watch out!
I thot the oppozition partiez are all up against the ruling MMD and not fellow oppozition? Maybe we should all endorze RB like the chiefs are doing on ZNBC and forget about electionz to save the little tax-payerz’ money for development.
If u know he has no credinility why did you go asking for a pact with him? And by the way who do u want to remove 4rm government is it SATA or Rb? And if u think SATA is finished think twice have wasted my vote on you in the past becoz of tribe but this time my brother am using it wisely.
Fide #8, the truth pains to you. HH now knows who Sata is after the experience of the pact. Go hh go, we are with you all the way!!! We have to retire some politicians this year.
Mwaiche walasa, right on spot, thats what my uncle is. Now you know him!! THE SERPENT!!
Sometimes its only good to shut up. HH cannot sue the Post because he knows he will be opening the Pandora box. Its not about having or not having a small brain but that his law suit would seriously backfire on him and end his polical career. He has so many skeletons in his closet
The thought of HH as our President terrifies me.. He has unpalatable language, arrogant and likes to talk down people.. “small brain etc”. Imagine if this guy had the almost God power of a Zambian president.. My God he would insult us all viciously daily..
Mu mwache mutoto nini?
viva HH the real change we want and not recycled leadership
#13 POST has gone into extrems,why didnt they ask UPND over MMD alliance but they keep on saying UPND/MMD talks under way and pipo like you stands up and claps yes yes without any proof,when winter called UPND a spoiler you did say fight MMD not UPND now HH is responding to alligatuions level against him,you are saying why not attack MMD for sure we need to be careful UPND has the right to attack any other party as they are on a compatition to win votes,PF is not superior that we cant attack it,thats why PF is full of thugs and dull craps
If Sata had smart advisors, he would have been president of Zambia —Sata has allowed himself to be cheated by the likes of M`membe, Kabimba and Guy Scott that Sata can still win even without the Pact. How can Sata win when he only relies on 4 provinces? Its a pity that the old man has worked so hard to build PF to what it is today, but will never make to state house becoz of making wrong strategies all the time.
HH stop attacking individuals.
The POST and Mmembe are stranded. They have realised that they have made so many mistakes in the past thus they feel ashamed to to apologise. A fews ago, the POST used to insult Sata like no man`s business but alas, Sata to day is a darling. The POST should have first told us that all the rusbish they used to write about Sata was fake and then apologise to Sata himself. However, this they have not done. All that we see is Screeming GOOD headlines about Sata nad PF. Mmembe is a crook and conman. He will not continue to mislead us. His impaired personality that thrives on telling lies about fellow citizens will not do to deceive us.
PF missed a golden opportunity to partner with UPND when their leagal advisor made pronoucement from Prof Chirwa without consulting the other partner. It showed lack of respect, and honesty a normal thinking person with good enough brains would have not pretended as if all was fine. Bravo UPND you did a good thing, beacuse from that time on, PF potrayed theie lack og credibility.
what’s wrong with HH. I fail to understand this under 5 of a Politician? He may have the brains but is politically myopic and lacks political judgement. Busy attacking his political allies shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HH has the right to express his opinion over Sata. This idea of saying he shouldnt attack a fellow opposition is a sign of cowardice, desperation and follishness on the part of PF
With this kind of behaviour, proper leadership and development will continue to be a very distant dream in Zambia. NO DIRECTION! One moment he says he’s UPND, then UPND-PF Pact, back to UPND, not even trying to deny rumours that he’s heading to UPND-MMD marriage of convenience. Ukwalola umwela. There’s some serious growing to be done by the so-called young man if he has to stand a chance to rule. Grow up!
PF supporters , you a very dull people, every time you hear HH talking, you are hurt, bad laguage…. your only comments,, tribal,,,,tribal….you are not injuring Tongas alone but other tribes as well. How can u hate Tongas and you want to be friends with Lozis,,, that will not help you in any way…We are the same people with one goal, to get rid of MMD,,,HH & SATA are opposition party leaders,,,in any case can attack each other or attack MMD.. Sata was saying alot of things about HH like he stole without any proof. Every zambian knows who a real thieves in our country…..You are hurt because HH is standing….you wanted only SATA and Banda to stand in your minds. HH standing,,, will get alot of seats now than before….. you may not agree but SATA will have a very big problems…!!!!!
i jes dont understand this Hichilema person…what really does he want?? who is he fighting here the post? SATA? or the current govt under RB?…what has the post publications on him and UPND have to do with SATA? why not address his grievances with the POST alone instead he has to attack SATA? LEAVE SATA alone and concentrate on building your personality!! does HH even have to brag about going to the states…men this man is so egoistic it PISSES me OFF!!!
If these flags am seeing,, you stay in these counrty, the ISP providers are laughing at you….Really how can you talk so hard on tribal….
WHY IS IT THAT THE DEVIL HAS SEEN IT RIGHT TO USE MMEMBE/POST TO CONTINUE ATTACKING HH/UPND THROUGH NEGATIVE FALSE FABRICATIONS AND PUBLICATIONS? MMEMBE/POST STATED IN THE POST NEWSPAPER THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER HH/UPND. HH/UPND OBLIGED NOT TO BE COVERED JUST LIKE HH/UPND OBLIGED WHEN SATA/PF CHASED HH/UPND FROM THE PACT.
we ng’ombe we amafi yalakupenya mwaiche you stole money from zccm and lima bank .pipo have died without geting their benefits.and ulemona ifinda fyabo
Hey blogers, Sata started it in Kabwe. He said a lot of crap about HH and now you dont want HH to say anything about Sata? Shame on you PF. Sata is not a god who should not be talked about.
When Sata says someting about HH, there are no such reaction but when HH hits back, he is a bad guy. Please stop worshiping this Sata thing, the man has reached political menopouse.
NO GRADE FIVES IN STATE HOUSE!!
The new Dora Silier
My brother # 29, I doubt if Sata ever sat in a classroom. Even grade five is too much for that man.
SATA REALLY HAS NO CREDIBILITY!
#16…. I am not asking UPND not to respond or stop competing in the political arena. All I am saying is that HH is afraid of taking the Post Newspaper to Court because he will just be bringing in the open all the secrets that will spell the end of his tumultuous political career. HH is free to form alliances with any political party
If Sata were to win the elections he would, within the first 15days, revive the defunct ZAMBIAN AIRWAYS as a token of appreciation to Mmembe. Within 90 days he would venture into projects which would send the economy into a crisis. Sata is a danger.
IS HICHILEMA SERIOUS REALLY? I FAIL TO SEE WHY HE SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE IN OPPOSITION WHEN ALL HE IS DOING IS TO MISDIRECT HIS GUNS TOWARDS A FELLOW OPPOSITION LEADER. WHAT IS HE BITTER ABOUT. THE OTHER GUY RARELY IF AT ALL TALKS ABOUT HIM NOWADAYS BECAUSE HE IS PROBABLY CONCENTATING ON WHAT IS MAKING HIM POPULAR. THESE COMBINED ATTACKS ON MC HAVE SEEMINGLY FAILED AS THEY NOW APPEAR TO IRRITATE PEOPLE AND PUT THE COBRA MORE IN THE LIMELIGHT AND SOMEWHAT INCREASING HIS POPULARLITY. REALLY, I MISS MAZOKA
Imwe ba # 33, if the post had any dosier on HH, they would have had unleashed it a long time ago. They tried and couldnt find any dirty on him. Govt contracted him and he quoted then they paid. Thats business my brother. They paid for his expertise. Suing the post would be a wast of time really, and in any case, Mmembe hates HH coz he refused to sell him Mazoka’s shares in the post as the administrator. So we know where the beef is comining from. We have all stopped buying the post.Ask them, their sales have gone down.
You bemba men are so mean to the Tonga guys. They are good people elo abengi niba mulamu benu. We love them, they are gud. Swallow your pride and accept that ba Shikulu nabanaka and the young man hh is alright and best suited than Sata.Stop the tribalism, most of these Tonga men are the fathers to your nephwes and nicies.
Iwe Iron Bemba Lady, even us from the east are also gud.
Sata is a danger to our society and must not be allowed to win these elections,this year.remember he was in UNIP were he worked as an informer of the whites,he battered our parents,and now an advocate of gay rights as evidenced by our brave man from mazabuka,thats why even the POST supports him so much that they have done away with ethics of journalism.we all know who MEMBLE is.am happy the residents of the copperbelt are changing from supporting such a unrealiable person.he insults everyone who does not support him,the lamba he insulted us,the luvale and the whole northwestern province was insulted,luapula people he called them names,people from mbala,mpulungu,isoka nakonde were never spared,we can not entrust the presidency in this person,NEVER
Iwe godivo, the same way you insult HH is the same way you insulted Andy. Stop cheating.
#26 @ meem The post tried to explore issues in that direction and they did not find any dirty on him. You have no case there my brother, the guy is clean.Dream on!!1
hh will never ever rule…
In the past i supported UPND because we had a leader in Mazoka. Since HH took over the reins of the party, UPND has been reduced to nothing. HH himself does not seem to know who is fighting whether it is SATA or RB. HH is indirectly contributing to the suffering of the Zambian people because he has always worked against other oposition parties in the past. HH you will never get to State House if you are jumping from one pact to the other. What we need is to liberate Zambians from misrule and not calling each other names. People know how you got your money.
This is my last time to blog in this name coz I have been convinced that hh is ok.Goodbye PF!!
HH will never be President of Zambia mark my WORDS
MUKWA BULOZI # 42, HH is only responding to Sata’s attacks in Kabwe. So its Sata who started it.
Aspiring for office is one thing and getting there is another. Do you think if hh would sufer if he never becomes president? I dont think so. Many of us try to do many thing some we succeed others we fail. Such is life. One thing I know for sure is that hh is not in politics to make money but to serve even those who hate him for no reasons.Its life!!! Even if hh doesnt become president, he will be a proud man coz he has contributed to democracy in this country. He has managed his party well, you can see that he has only produced one rebel MP while the other mature or whatever you call them have more than 20 rebels.Who is a good manager?
HH will one day make a very good president… MARK MY WORDS
Nachimyeba ati lekeni fyabupuba you bemba brothers. Swallow your pride!
I said no grade fives in state house, period!!!!!!!!!!!
we all know hh is the best man, but the most dissapointing thing is the man has got no guts to take on MR SATA or rb. politics is about numbers “thanks GOD SATA has that” and not how rich or smart some one is. In the next few years undp or sorry upnd will be reduced to nothing and hh will be kicked out of undp for failing the party.
Iron Bemba lady. you are so briliant. I wish alot of these brothers of mine could reason like you. keep it up sis. HH is the only man we have for sure. Young and bright. Get it roll dear. VIVA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
people lets be realistic hh in state house, tell me its just a joke.
This will be the worst year for UPND and HH..
The real change is in HH for he has never been in colonial, unip or mmd. It is totaly a new blood on the block. We rockie it wit him. New brains, New blood, New age. and we are in dot com world. The man is supperb. Mwaaaaaaaaaaaa mwaaaaaaaaaaaa.:*:*:*:*:*:*
No.51, you seem to be sleeping, keep yourself abreast current affairs. HH has gained ground in Lusaka, WESTERN, Central and a good improvement on CB. keep in mind that N/W and Southern are intact in favour of HH.
Vote wisely, Vote PF, Vote for SATA.
#54 Dream on my friend. Dream on
Umwaice HH chipuba sana.muwelwele.VIVA PF MWAMUKOLO MWAMUKOLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What we want is for these people aspiring for plot one to tell us what they are going to do for MOHTER ZAMBIA.Not name calling period.
HH ULEKWATA UMUCHINSHI KUBA KALAMBA.FWEBAKALAMBA UKUKUCHILA TWA KAKUVOTELEKO.KUTI ULE SALULA ABAKALAMBA.ULEBEBA ATI SMALL BRAIN.UKATEKA SHANI NGA TAUKWETE RESPECT KUBAKALAMBA.UNDER FIVE ULEKWATA UMUCHINSHI MUKANWA.VIVA PF MWAMUKOLO THIS IS SATA ‘S YEAR.
@33 don’t fool yourself,if membe had any secrets about HH would he have kept quite with the hate that he habours for him especially after pulling out from the post mooted pact, the guy just knows that he is going to have the last laugh.in all this membe is the loser because no matter how he desparages HH,sata wont win and he can’t win come what may.
#54 Trace, am talking about things Ive seen with my own eyes. Underate HH at your own peril.He will pull a suprise. I didnt know, like you babe, until I travelled round the country in the last two months. Dont take post news as gospel truth. There is a lot of lies in there. Like it or not, HH will improve in Lusk, Central and CB.
Mwikadabwa sana umwaiche nga awina imwe. He is on the ground!!
Silencer #59, When you are reading an article, read word by word and understand. HH said I do not have a small brain for me to sue the post. That does not bring you or any old man in the picture. Please read again.
#60, upnd hasn’t got enough numbers to form government… they will aways be coming out number 3.
Iron Bemba Lady, I like your carriage. Tell these tribal bemba brothers of ours. They like looking down on other tribes.They dont know that we have intermarried and a lot of the people they insult are their Mulamus’. Swallow your pride brothers, all tribes are equal before the constitution!!!! We love you brothers but we also love our sweet Tonga men.
Iwe ka Nokia or Samung Banda, Mazoka is ten times more than the ever whining HH will ever be. HH is a cry baby; period. Obama! Oh my foot! The sooner UPND kicks out the spoiled brat the better
HH BETTER THAN SNAKE. RB THE BEST
NO. RB BETTER THAN HH ………………
Godivo, I respect your opinion, so respect mine. In anycase I just said the same way you insult HH is the same way you insulted Andy.
If you are a PERMANENT F.O.O.L PF, concentrate on your PF, we love HH, he is a gud guy. The man has built houses for his workers. Can your Satan do that?
If post write about HH, hh attacks sata. Why not attack post. HH you will never rule zed. Grow up in mind. Issue based politics are what we need. As for popularity PF is far much popular than your tonga party.
Hey Godivo,we are talking about our future here. The old had their time and did what they could. I think their time is up mwana. We need to move on. Dont be resistant to change and stick to your old african tools of production. The old guy are analog and the the world has gone digital. Not too late mwana.
MMD is this not nice listerning to these two tearing each other apart,please balekeni no lamwina this is a good sign of how they will split the oppossition votes.I predict MMD-40% PF-20%, UNDP-15% and the rest 25%
Under five wachepa sana.You arogance will take you nowhere.Whether you like it or not Sata will rule ZED.
Hey brothers, look at this: We had Chiluba. Southerners gave him 100% votes. Mazoka came and lost in Northern, Luapula and CB. HH is being rejected in the same provinces. Who is the problem here. I think its us the Bembas. We want other people to vote for us but we refuse to vote for them, even when they have a brilliant candidate like HH. All we want is Ba Shikulu even when we know that he is tired. Lets be one please, Bembas lets swallow our pride. HH is a good guy, he means well for all the people.
#78 My sister, remind our brothers that UPND had a northerner as mp in Kafue, Bob Sichinga.Can a Tonga ever win in a Bemba teritory? Awe mwe, umutundu uyu ubukaka!!!
# 77 Felix mwaiche I want my money. Tawishibe ati lelo ni Friday? Ulebwesha inkongole c.h.i.k.a.l.a
Sorry people, Felix is my small boy and we joke. I didnt realise I was insulting coz its so easy to insult in Bemba. Mnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!
Ok guys, there is life after elections. Just a question to all of bloggers. If you are PF, what would be your plan B if anything happened before the election and the cobra cant stand (GOD FORBID)? Same applies to the other two, who would you rather have if your candidate fails to win? Lets discuss guys!
Iwe #74, Sata attacked HH in Kabwe. Just where does the ‘under five’ rubish come from?
Please dont her worship SATAN, he is devlish!
We all need each other after elections. Lets not tear each other apart.
I also miss MAZOKA how could they replace him with such a tiny thinker
HH grow up and be a man people can count on! Not some weeping kid, who is always crying foul. This is politics, people can be mean and you have to be strong. Start to sell yourself and the party to the people, we are not interested in your hatred for your opponent. UPND could have been bigger than PF if it was lead by a strong and focused individual.
I lost the little faith I had in HAKAIVOTELA HEKA (HH), the moment we got wind of the moneys which RUPIAH BANDA through his close confidant gave to him. He was basically paid to destabilise the pact but he’s plan was laid bare. He’s probably forgotten Sata is not yet republican President, but Oh HAKAIVOTELA HEKA
The only problem with upnd is that they allowed HH to ascend to the top becoz of the tribe
now read this; stop this tribal debate, Zambia belongs to us all and no one is a super being. PF and UPND, can you behave. if you have no agenda for the country, would you please let RB to continue. You are mideocres ok. both of you are greedy politicians with selfish motives. for you Tongas continuew pregnanting and milking your cows and Bembas shut your big mouths dont think that you are the only intelligent tribe in Zambia. to hell with your SATA. enjoy your mokey meat
I shut up and leave great minds speak!
HH in trouble. He needs time to understand politics of African and Zambia in particular. He is shootng on a wrong target that will ensure his career go into the grave.
So you think HH that because you have some dubious US backing this gives you “credibility”? Go back to school man
Oh, no! I had respect for HH, but it seems he is an immature young man. Zambia needs coalition builders, not those who want to isolate leaders and members of other political parties. The young man has turned out to be another William Banda, alebosa fye everyday. Shame … how can you lead a country when you aim at creating enemies in other political parties? He would be worse than than what George Kunda, Ronnie Shikapwasha, William Banda, and RB have shown us!
My brother recommended I might like this website. He used to be entirely right. This submit truly made my day. You can not believe just how so much time I had spent for this info! Thanks!
