Curious case of President Hichilema and one Mundubile
The other day, former minister in the PF regime, Dora Siliya posed a rhetorical question, “who among the opposition can manage the $6.7 Billion dollars HH has accumulated in the reserves?”
There’s no doubt about it, this year’s elections is a two-horse race between UPND’s President Hichilema and Brian Mundubile whose political party has a clumsy acronym, NRPUP…..quite a mouthful for our liking! Mundubile is therefore left with little or no choice but tell the nation how he intends to utilize this treasure trove for the benefit of our people in all our 10 provinces unlike what we witnessed during the PF regime.
While President Hichilema has already unveiled his party manifesto that seeks to enhance a buoyed economy, improve social service delivery and resolve the energy crisis among other things, we are yet to see Mundubile scale the mountain top and preach to the world how he intends to run this country, if given a chance, save for breaking the prison walls to liberate his colleagues who’ve committed heinous crimes against the Zambian people.
May we now digress and take a look at his hangers-on…… abena Brian Mutale, Mwenya Musenge, Cosmo Mumba, Enock Tonga, Kasonde Mwenda and Binwell Mpundu. They are either struggling financially or do not posses any meaningful businesses or properties which may easily qualify them to be classified as “apa mwambas” in the Zambian context.
On the other hand, President Hichilema has surrounded himself with highly successful people……financial magnets in their own rights, if you like. While Charles Milupi is one of the country’s richest, Wynter Kabimba, Highvie Hamududu, Felix Mutati and Saviour Chishimba are highly accomplished gentlemen and not mere scroungers!
Fellow citizens, beware of those attempting to come and loot the Treasury.

Kikikikiki, in poverty you will know your friends whilst in riches your friends will know you. The distinguish of genuine allies in the shadow and sun.
As if there is any proof that we have such amounts in reserves. The lady is a politician and knows the things that are said in election year are just free fall. Doesn’t she know that mealie meal should have been K50, fertiliser K250 and fuel 12 by now. DId these things come to pass? No. It is because they were said in a campaigning year. Now, international airports are coming up in all provinces. My grandmother in Shangombo is already thinking of getting a passport. But just because Dora still has a bone to chew with Jay Jay after she was trounced in the last elections, she is now supporting the other camp.
True, those are block and will come and root our economy. All what they are eyeing on are the reserves, Please Zambians lets not allow these thieves to come back.
