Movement for Multiparty Democracy MMD national chairman Michael Mabenga has said that the party is relieved now that Chongwe Member of Parliament Sylvia Masebo has left the party.
Mr. Mabenga said that the MMD did not like the behavior of Ms. Masebo and that it was therefore a relief that she has left the party.
In an interview with QFM in Lusaka, Mr. Mabenga said the MMD was still intact despite the departure of the former local government and housing minister.
He said the party does not regret that Ms Masebo has left the party because it will even become much stronger.
He has expressed confidence that the party will still retain the votes in Chongwe constituency because of the developmental initiatives that the MMD government has taken to the area.
Mr Mabenga further states that the party will remain focused and ensure that victory is guaranteed the coming elections.
And Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) Deputy National Secretary Chembe Nyangu has said the process of adopting candidates to stand on the ruling party’s Parliamentary and Local government seats in this year’s elections was going on well in all the constituencies across the country.
Mr. Nyangu said the party was so far satisfied with the manner in which interviews were being conducted throughout the country.
He urged all Provincial MMD panels involved in the process to do a good job so that the party would be able to choose winning candidates in this year’s elections.
He told ZANIS in an interview in Lusaka today that all interviews were currently being conducted at provincial level adding that they were going on smoothly in all the nine provinces of Zambia.
The deputy National Secretary said that the process was halted following the demise of the Second Republican President Dr Frederick Chiluba who died on Saturday, June 18, 2011.
Mr. Nyangu stated that the party was optimistic that by today,(Saturday), the National Executive Committee (NEC) would be in a position to receive a list of adopted candidates for both Parliamentary and local government elections.
He further explained that the MMD would ensure that it selects candidates who would be easy to pitch to the electorate ahead of this year’s elections.
He added that the party had never experienced any adoption problems from the time the exercise started early last month adding that this was an indication that the ruling party was the most democratic party in the country.
Mr. Nyangu also said that the opposition would wake up in a rude shock after this year’s polls because the ruling party under President Rupiah Banda‘s leadership was going to win the elections with a resounding victory.
He appealed to all Zambians to vote for President Banda and all MMD cadidates for continued development in the country.
She has been ****king with Malupenga of the Post and what did she expect…. a prostituting mole. Good riddance. ili hule with no morals
You are such an *****
Mr Mabenga Sir that’s a lie to say it’s a relief to MMD following the resignation of Masebo. It’s a blue lie Sir.
sour grapes.how do lose a party member of masebo’s calibre and claim that the pasrty is even stronger? sometimes it is better to face reality,and that it is a big blow for her departure for mmd.will see by october in chongwe,all the best .
Mr Mabenga if MS Masebo’s behaviour was not liked by your party why keep her for ten years. It doesn’t make sense. You are just consoling yourselves and deep inside you are missing her very much. Good luck madam Masebo. And may the MMD not rest in peace but in anguish.
 Mr Mabenga, 55,000 has just gone to pf please stop living in denial, Oh! how much has your boss paid you to put up a face? Silvia Masebo has been a factor since the days of Kafupi so don’t lie to poor Zambians. Anyway why am i so concerned about Mad Dogs internal affairs when we have a rally to organize this afternoon.
Amafi yeka yeka!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MMD is panicking, dont lie to us Mr CDF.
This party has lost direction, they don’t even know whose influential in their party anymore. Masebo has a lot of respect in her constituency that is why MMD were hanging on to her. There’s need to kick them out of power, we had 27 years of KK we can’t afford 25 years of MMD otherwise history may just repeat itself.
Mabenga u r a true liar. Eeeeh! why choose to be on opposite with reality? Masebo’s departure is a what? or may be I dont understand the word ‘relief” Mudala u r lying through yo teeth. That is a hot potato for u guys.
masebo is suffering for let down RB proposal this one of weman abuse if they push her too much RB will be ashamed wait and see
Got to agree with Mabenga here and this is why-
He says nothing negative about Masebo
Talks about the MMD becoming even stronger
Acknowledges there is development in Chongwe.
If I was a voter in Chongwe I would be saying wait a minute, any chance she was a pain in their backsides? Any chance she was aggitating for this development and the plonkers didn’t like it?
But then again that is me and that is why I am here and there are people in Chongwe dying because they have no medicine, clean water and an Ambulance is something you just learn about in class.
Anyone who opposes the leadership of MMD is a bad seed……. then define democracy…. this business of “Yes Bwana”, “Kanalesa” is what is killing Africa in particular Zambia…. MMD sure 20 years in power you still want more……. and openly saying it’s a relief when one prominent MMD member leave which means ordinary Zambians are expendable …..Vote PF vote Sata
Politics is all about telling people the opposite of truth,shame this is a good job for the likes of mabenga .Even loosing one voter is a loss to the particular party waste still an MP.
If masebo wasnt a factor in MMD,just from tuesday MMD has issued over 3 press statements against masebo and denouncing her that she was licking party info.The soli association has said they will even sell their chickens to ensure masebo returns her seat on which ever party she stands.Chongwe has over 45,000 registered voters and all votes will move to PF.In western province MMD has no vote,why upto today the have failed to hold a rally in western province then today parade old man mututwa over homo issue.Wasnt it SATA who spoke for the barostland pipo against MMD’s voilence which led to deaths?MMD is feeling the heat now
It is a sigh of relief that she has left. Now no one can leak confidential information to the Post. Good luck Ms. Masebo in your future activities and good luck with your political career.
Also remember that voters in Chongwe are not personal-to-holder. The vote can go either way. I however am confident the seat is going to MMD.
The woman is dilapidated. Who has been chewing her? He is not the Sylvia
The woman is dilapidated. Who has finished Sylvia to that extent. She is no longer the Sylvia I used to know. Maiweeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
You are in trouble ba MMD because u know these are seats u are losing even before the elections time people like Masebo are very strong and your chances as MMD are slim its a don’t kubeba thing
Lets be sincere as leaders. We should not say things just to please the BIG MAN, while deep inside we know that we are telling lies. Mabenga was rejected by the grass root MMD and the reason is not difficult to know. THE MAN CAN LIE WITH A STRAIGHT FACE
Imwe ba Zero boys, Sata is worse than RB, especially that he is un educated. He is a dictator and can not be trusted. Sata cant change anything, let alone taking us backwards.
It as good as asking Kalu to continue playing football at his age. We appreciate his so called hard working and bla bla blaaa but his time is gone.He doesnt have the skills for the present generation. Just ask him what he understands by the “GDP”. Iam sure he will say it means “DOUNCHI KUBEBA”.
Thy end is approaching, so that all of you old rags can go and enjoy what you have worked for from 1964.
Is it the MMD Party that is relieved or it is H.E.R.B? Because if I am not mistaken, Ms. Masebo was supported and eventually elected as Party Chairwoman for Women’s Affairs (or something) at the Convention in Kabwe. So it is highly dishonesty for Mr. Mabenga to say the Party is relieved—RB and a few die-hard bootlickers of ‘HERB’ may be satisfied. But Masebo still has people who likes, or even loves, her in MMD.
It is Rupiah Banda’s intolerance and hate towards this woman that has forced her out of MMD, not because the entire membership of the MMD looked forward to this. And it will cost MMD big time! To people like Mabenga, MMD is RB, and RB is MMD! Talk about hearkening back to the days of UNIP—-kumulu, lesa! panshi Kaunda! UNIP (KK), mulilo! wayikatako, wapya!!!!!!
Mabenga you are next to be fired  ….watch your mouth…….
lets vote for change. even the pot holes in lusaka are starting to look like MMD.
Chongwe is bigger than ka masebo. Its not Chongwe constituence that need ka Masebo, its ka masebo who need it. Losing ka masebo is a gain to MMD and not a loss. Let it join fellow embeciles in PF. One cant imagine how Sata and ka masebo will work considering the numerous insults they exchanged not long ago. RB and MMD are SAFE bwana.
Apg milling is behind masebo’s confusion. What about the hearses? Sylvia you are the slut of sluts
The best MMD can do iz thank Masebo for the time theyve been together and wish her well in her new found life outside the party.
What doez the regulatory body (if there iz one) at the LT do if they can’t check thingz like #21’z title?
@ 22 THE LIVING JAY
WELL SPOKEN,
When will MMD Grow up, cheap Nonsense, can’t you just keep quite? Mabenga, you are not telling the truth and shows how a low thinker you are.
It is really embarrassing and its time RB stopped these useless Ministers of his, passing such unrealistic comments. Learn from mistakes and just shut up
If RB has never liked Masebo, then it sounds like it is indeed a relief to the MMD leadership. It sounds like it also carries the advantage of safeguarding their secrets as she will no longer be there to inform her boyfriend. PF should monitor her, if she started messing with the likes of VJ (who she is friendly to), she has the potential to work as a reverse-mole.
BA CHAIRMAN ABA,EVEN WHEN YOU LOOSE THE PROMINENT M.P ,YOU CAN SAY ITS OK WITH MMD, YOU KNW WHT THE TRUTH PAINS ITS JUST TIME FOR CHANGE…………….
IYI NI DONT TELL IT GAME UNTIL THE LAST WHISTLE BRAVO P.F……………….
UNIP has taken over MMD.Mr Mabenga was almost rejected for adoption in Mulobezi but felt petty coz he is MMD national chairman.We will see what happens after election results are announced.Mpombo has said MMD has entered into a political drip,intersive care unit(ICU)
This is really disgusting all this coming from MMD…these guys should give gratitude where its due…only shows lack of leadership at the top…change is surely needed!!
DRAMMER AT MULUNGUSHI KABWE WERE THE PF WILWILL HOLD ITS CONFERENCE.
LIGHTS OFF MATTRESSES REMOVED PLEASE CHECK
what relief ? you lost it on a silver plate
Let me advise that politics of insults should come to an end. I am bored by the tantrums and witch hunting by the MMD. If I may ask “Don’t you MMD politicians have any other things to do other than think that by all means you need to stay on”? Perhaps, I should advice that govt introduces a college for rehabilitation and skills training targeting ex-politicians starting with those in Govt today. Abash evil thinking and extermination and destruction of individual citizen using govt machinery and media.
Ba MMD, you are such a pain in the backside of Zambians. You are full of sh!t. You are running this country on propaganda basis while you shield the masses from correct information. Your shrek RBish hated Masebo and now you are busy licking his big behind just to impress him! Masebo is a woman of substance and since she resigned some more of your underground information is being accessed by The Post! You have a few of your bad arse supporters who have been corruptly benefiting from your misrule and they will support anything that pleases the big ears of shrek RBish! You are losing this years elections, mark my word!

Masebo still remains important and whichever party she stands in am sure she will retain her seat even though i strongly believe she has joined Magande
That canot be true ba Mabenga you need people in your party to win elections and Masebo could help greatly
Only a foo’l like Mabenga continues livingin self denial. Oh continue whishing MMD was popular, for us you’re gone and fo good
If this satan was not head of pf pact was not going to die and change of government would be assured/reality in zambia. Sorry 4him and phished members this cobra will loose. We want and real zambians will elect educated leader.
Each time cobra takes the podium he spits out only vernom at Government no day of expounding pf policy! This type of campaign is recipe 4violence. spent or tired politicking does not inspire.
Bamudala Mabenga swallow your pride and accept that Masebo is clever than you. Please go and mourn your daughter in peace
Mabenga don’t lie…the constipation continues. Kuya bebele. Chongwe is gone and very soon more will be joining the boat. Your desperation will kill you. What development have u taken to chongwe? A hospital that can’t be used…schools with inadequate teachers? Woo to you foe speaking lies for they will catch up with you
Chiluba is the one who started MMD and he has died with MMD.kuya bebele guys
Malenga li shilu mad person.You have lost the Chongwe area you mad chap.Tis lady has followers.For Chieftness Nkomeshya Mukamambo the lll,you should not play with her.She has a lot power.That is why you,re mad chairman of MMD.This the chief who gave the land to the most powerfull country the USA,that embassy is in are area and Masebo was part of this plan of givinig that land.Mwe chipuba mwe.Chieftness Nkomeshya is fomer miniters of home afairs in li KK governtment very powerful chu chu chief from the same academy na Sata.You can see a few days before the USA team came to Zambia the started our on national issues.If you don’t know mwe chipu ba mwe ba Malenga, Chieftness Nkomeshya also met the USA TEAM.
Masebo will win and SATA will lose = Masebo back bencher = retard development in chongwe. Look at Lubinda Given, power guy but still a backbencher. Useless. Why joining a losing team? RUBBISH.
This woman’s picture looks as if she was involved in a road accident. Kwena, she’s finnished. Anyway, its Malupenga.
she has been an informant and hey..Amos used her to get govt highly classified..she’s a house breaker! info..hahahah
Lying son of a B.i.t.ch. No shame eitherÂ
the genesis of masebo’s problems is a common place story. according to usually reliable sources, when levy was president and appointed rb as vice, masebo (and mpombo) made it clear to rb that her boss was levy, she reported to no one else and he was a nothing. however, as fate would have it, levy passed on and she was left with the stark reality that rb was her new boss. the sources say that explains masebo’s collapsing episodes at levy’s funeral, it was not so much grief for levy as grief for herself and what would happen to her political career. she fought to install magande and it didn’t work, her problem and undoing is that she continually underestimates rb’s fighting capacity because of his humility which deceives her, and shame of course.
Masebo is going to prove this Mabenga and the MMD wrong. Let us wait and see. If anything RB is going to lose a lot of votes in Chongwe. The top dogs in MMD are going to sweat this year.
The truth is that MMD is panicking now with the resignation of Masebo. Once again MMD through Mabenga is telling lies. the headline should have been,”Masebo’s departure is a big blow to MMD”. INDEED THE TRUTH REARY HURTS
