THE MMD in Lusaka has unearthed a scam in which Chongwe member of Parliament Sylvia Masebo has been collecting MMD party regalia and cards to be used in a planned defection to the opposition Patriotic Front (PF).
MMD Lusaka Province secretary Samson Mkandawire said in Lusaka yesterday that Ms Masebo has been planning a defection and she wants people to believe that the people of Chongwe are anti-MMD when the truth is that they are happy with what the MMD government has been doing for them.
Mr Mkandawire said Ms Masebo has no right whatsoever, to handle MMD party materials because she is no longer a member of the MMD. He said the people of Chongwe should not listen to Ms Masebo because she is a disgruntled politician who thinks she owns the people of Chongwe.
Mr Mkandawire said Ms Masebo has a tendency of deceiving the people of Chongwe into believing that she is the only one who can represent them.
“She has left the MMD before and joined the Zambia Revolution Party and the people of Chongwe accepted her but this time, she should know that the people are tired of her political gymnastics and they do not want her any more,” Mr Mkandawire said.
He said Ms Masebo is not wanted by the people of Chongwe because she has been disrespectful to President Banda and has been intimidating MMD members to follow her wishes.
Mr Mkandawire said Ms Masebo has been requesting President Banda to appoint her as a Cabinet minister so that she can remain in the party.
“That is pure blackmail which should not be tolerated. Ms Masebo was supposed to respect members of the MMD, including President Banda but instead, she was giving him conditions, for her to remain in the MMD,” Mr Mkandawire said.
And Mr Mkandawire said Ms Masebo should stop dragging the President into her failure to develop Chongwe because she had greater capacity to develop the area.
“She has held ministerial positions before but she still failed to push for the development of the district.We respect her decision to leave the MMD for the PF but she should desist from blaming President Banda for her failure to take development to Chongwe,” Mr Mkandawire said.
Mr Mkandawire wondered how Ms Masebo will work with the PF when she has been condemning and insulting Michael Sata, the leader of the opposition party.
“She has been insulting Mr Sata and now she says she wants to work with him. I wonder how that is going to turn out,” Mr Mkandawire said.
She’s a proper political prostitute who doesn’t know her?
Masebo is a political professional prostitute who does not know her ???????????????
Masebo you are welcome. You will be an asset in the PF government of performers. You can’t work with these corrupt and lazy MMD and UNIP cadres
The post says “And MMD Lusaka Province chairperson William Banda says the MMD will resort to any means at its disposal, including ‘juju’ if necessary, to ensure the party retains the Chongwe parliamentary seat”
And William Banda said he is a smart guy and not the violent image portrayed of him by The Post.“I am not the way people write about. Can you see the way I’m dressed? I am a gentleman. You can’t break strong people easily,” William Banda, who was dressed in a suit said while beating his chest pompously.
mmd you are dead in chongwee. am soli by tribe and i can attest to the fact that mmd will never get any vote from chongwee. people are happy with development? which development? which people? didnt we hear what the Chieftainess mukamambo said? the chief represents her people, will see.
THE government has frozen the Chongwe Constituency Development Fund (CDF) with immediate effect.But Masebo questioned the motive of the government’s decision, saying it would only affect the people of Chongwe who needed development.
“This money is not intended to benefit me as an individual, it is the people that need the boreholes to improve their living standards.
Masebo did well to leave MMD. Why is MMD worried about her resignation? If MMD is strong in Chongwe let them just campaign and win elections. MMD will never win election in Lusaka province but PF
Last kicks of a dying horse
How can the whole President be fighting a woman? As a man i dont like men who persecute women. Such men have no class, they are cowards. Ms. Masebo has every right to belong to any party. Its her democratic right! MMD wants to harm Masebo becoz they have no sufficient muscle to grab the Chongwe seat from her. Good luck Masebo!
Go girl and strengthen PF. We sure need you and your supporters.
This iz fishing on very dry land and desperation at its best. Denis Liwewe in the commentary box would shout “… geeaaaaa……let us wait and seee…”. And that’s exactly what we should be doing now; WAIT AND SEE.
Journalism in zambia is a profession that has no ethics.I wonder if the information we get is even correct.We have the PF newspaper and the MMD newspapers always have contradicting stories who is telling us the truth.
mkandawire we all know you have been sent to destroy masebo politically remember masebo has been powerful even before went to chongwe is a woman of substance that why even RB tricks will fail unless leak election in chongwe otherwise. all those calling her political prostitute you are unfair to her if you were in her shoes you dont go along with unreasonable RB what could you do remain and wait to be destroyed no no be fair
Look at what V.J said about her and then look at what MMD locals are saying.
Total disunity in MMD as they are fighting themselves for a seat they know will not come their way.
What a fake statement by Samson Mkandawire the truth is that Masebo will win the Chongwe seat and MMD will be beaten hands down. MMD should start worrying coz some constituencies like Kafulafuta, Katuba, Kafue and now Chongwe are going to slip through their hands and in total they have more than 100,000 voters and politics is about numbers. This is a matter that should not be lightly taken. I like what William Banda has stated in today’s Post that to retain Chongwe seat if it means using Juju they will. That is how serious the Chongwe seat has become.
Yap, yap, yap. Where is the discussion of policy?
She is not staging a fake defection, the people themselves are already handing in those items in advance. its a normal procedure because they don’t want to be caught up in a rush hour so the earlier they do it the better. Announce the election date please.
Politics is about numbers You’re welcome Silvia! Noah’s ark is waiting 4 you before the flood gates are opened!!!!!!!!DON”T KUBEBA!!!
Heeee first the hearses now CDF funds misused..But what do you expect from a person who married a known drug dealer, dated a hived married man, sold herself a council house under suspect circumstances, tried and lost in Munali, is envious of her sisters School hence the ‘desire’ to build a school for her late mother…and is now going back to the party of her tired and sick boyfriend..A ministers position is sweet..but corruption is corruption you missused the CDF funds and the cheques you were trying to pay your companies will bounce..you did the same with keep lusaka clean..companies you formed to pay you…
MMD and PF will share votes badly.. I do not think these people are seeing this one….In fact MMD of winning in areas where PF is popular will only give chance to UPND.. Presidential Banda will win, that one is not dought,,,,I can see the MPs increase to both parties…!!!!!
LET HERT LOSE AND BE WIPED OUT OF POLITICAL STAGE, SHE THINKS SHE OWNS CHONGWE AND SHE WILL BE SHOKEDI…………………. :((
Then she can be arrested for stealing government money through the purchase of hearses.OP at its work.What and see as no one will protect her as Mpombo.
When masebo was with mms she is good when she leaves this silly party she is bad please leave her alone
Masebo the only missing piece in the PF’s puzzle. all we needed was Chongwe to win the general elections.
am told william banda has delivered a container of pangas to chongwe……how true?
The POST- “MIKE Mulongoti has endorsed the candidature of Michael Sata and the PF during this year’s tripartite elections. And Mulongoti says he has greatly suffered in his mission of defending the ideals of democracy and good governance in successive governments.In a press statement, Mulongoti, who was dismissed as works and supply minister following his decision to challenge Vice-President George Kunda who was President Banda’s favoured choice for the MMD vice-presidency before the position was scrapped, stated that he did not need to be a rocket scientist to appreciate the strength of the PF and its leader Sata.”
NO wonder PF is a trash boat,i cant imagine how Masebo,Mulongoti,Sata will contradict each other as they once used to be bitter rivals,there gona be cheos in PF soon.
MMD is feeling the heat in the kitchen. Please bear the heat you started the game with Rupiah
And William Banda says MMD would resort to any means at its disposal, including ‘juju’ to ensure the party retains the Chongwe parliamentary seat.
Addressing a handful of MMD cadres in Chongwe on Wednesday, William Banda said the party would campaign vigorously to retain the seat.
“I think we have all agreed that we shall all support Japhen Mwakalombe in Chongwe. Iwee basakuyofye (You Mwakalombe, they should not scare you). If it means using juju we shall do so,” William Banda said.

Willam banda and his coherts employ such tricks all the time. I was paraded in chilenge about 2 months ago as being a PF defector at a MMD rally when i have never ever been in PF. Old names from a list of MMD members at on branch were said to be defectors when infact they were rent a crowd chaps. We even made it head line news in one of the papers as being defectors. What a bunch of liars.
Mkandawire twafwa ubufi. Leave Masebo alone. The battle lines are drawn. In any case did Silvia tell u she is joining PF? u guys r damn scared of PF. I really wonder what u will do when u lose.
WHEN NOAH WAS BUILDING THE ARCH PEOPLE THOUGHT NOAH WAS MAD AND AT THE TIME NOAH WAS LOOKING VERY OLD AND FRAIL.WHAT HAPPENED AT LAST NAOH SERVED ALOT OPEOPLE WHO RESPONDED TO HIS CALL.EVEN ANIMALS WERE SERVED. TODAY BRETHRENS WE HAVE A NOAH IN THE NAME OF MICHEAL SATA LET GET INTO THE BOAT AND JOIN SATA.WE ARE GOING TO BE SERVED FROM THE CASTASTROPHY.SATA WILL GET US OUT OF THESE PROBLEMS OF A CORRUPT REGIME AND THE PASS THE BUTTON TO THE YOUNGER GENERATIONS .NO EXPERIMENTS. VIVA PABWATOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.for the real change
WELCOME TO PF SILVIA, WE’LL TAKE YOU BACK TO LOCAL GOVT, WE WANT LSK THE WAY YOU LEFT IT, CLEAN AND ORGANISED. AFTER YOU LEFT, SOWETO MARKET HAS BECOME A GHOST MARKET DESPITE HUGE SUMS SPENT TO BUILD IT.
Masebo is confusing the public. First there is no development in Chongwe and now some projects of water, school will be affected by freezing CDF. What can we buy from these two statements.
Anyhow time will soon catch up with her.You claim to express concerns on behalf of community when infact you re the biggest beneficiary of CDF.
Take a life woman
So MMD will even resort to juju to win the Chongwe seat? What a fake Christian nation Zambia is. Who says it knows — this Mkandawire guy knows that staged defections is the main game of the MMD so he thinks even Masebo can sink to such a lopw level. The defections in Chongwe will be for real and MMD is going to be humiliated in that constituency this year.
Mkandawire………… woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
mmd is panicking, masebo is strong politically compare her to dora and you will see quality in her. why does the mmd keep losing influential members? their intolerance will cost them dearly in the forthcoming polls
Leave us in peace n join ur PF…
And in another news, senior citizen together with MMD Chief bootlicker have also defected to pf the source says.
PF won’t take you anywhere Sylvia..they are just hooligans..
did you say that masebo is planning to defect to upnd? surely it has to be upnd and not pf, which sane politician would want to join pf at this hour? flip flop, gay rights, corrupt leaders, thieves, adultery, cannot mourn a friend, think of any evil mentioned in the bible, that is pf for you.
Mkandawire is a liar.Masebo cant ask for a Cabinet position from Banda.Who doesnt know RB? hE COULD HAVE LIKED THE INFORMATION ALONG TIME AGO DUE TO THE HATRED THAT WE SEE EVEN AS HE SPEAKS.WHAT IS WRONMG IN STAGE MANAGING DEFECTIONS AFTER ALL SHE IS WHAT TEKERE BANDA HAS BEEN DOING IN LUSAKA BUT ALAS IT HAS FAILED TO YIELD ANY RESULTS.PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING.
The defection of Sylvia Masebo was emminent from the convention as RBish tried using all MMD and GRZ mechanisms to have a favoured chairperson for womens’ affairs.Honourable Masebo proved a big point by scooping her position at the convention. THE LESSON IS RBISH SHREK IS UNBEATABLE! GO GIRL, WE ARE PROUD OF YOU! # 41 pf government, learn to think you 1diot and stop being dramatic! You lumpens have used all shades of political propaganda about our party PF and it has not gotten you anywhere, that is what happens when the masses have had enough! I was a staunch supporter of LPM (MHSRIP), but after shrek Rbish assumed power, I have been left with no choice but to change my mind and support a tested man, a man of action and productively hard working! VIVA PF & MCS. Sylvia, you are capable!
How come we no longer get the words of wisdom of what is going on in the MMD from their paid mouthpieces Senior Citizen and MMD Chief Bootlicker? Where are they?
Senior citizen has now become independent observer. Coward chap
