The Patriotic Front has said that the UPND rally in Kabwata Constituency was just an assemblage of insults directed at the President Michael Sata and the PF.

Lusaka Province PF chairman and Member of the part Central Committee Geoffrey

said that again the UPND paraded its bitterness and their prolonged failure to recover from their defeat in the 2011 elections.

In a statement to the media, Mr. Chuumbwe said that it was unacceptable that former Katombora Member of Parliament, Regina Musokotwane, chose Sunday’s rally to vent her frustrations after allegedly failing to hoodwink President Sata to give her a job.

Mr. Chuumbwe accused Mrs. Musokotwane of making numerous attempts to lobby for a job from President Michael Sata adding that she cannot deny this fact.

Mr. Chuumbwe further said that the UPND meeting also exposed the partisan behavior of some civil society members, who he said are well-known sympathisers of the UPND.

Mr. Chuumbwe says SACCORD Information Officer Obby Chibuluma and FODEP Executive Director McDonald Chipenzi for being tribal.

“The UPND meeting also exposed the partisan behavior of some civil society members, who are well-known sympathisers of the UPND, such as SACCORD Information Officer Obby Chibuluma and FODEP Executive Director McDonald Chipenzi, who showed up at the meeting to show solidarity to their tribesmen and tribeswomen,” the statement read

Mr. Chuumbwe further says PF is happy that the UPND got an opportunity to attest for themselves that they have no following, as evidenced by their very poorly attended rally in Lusaka’s Kabwata Constituency.

“But the PF is satisfied that the UPND got their much needed reality check after seeing for themselves that Lusaka has continued to reject their politics of tribalism, bitterness and insults,” Mr Chuumbwe.

“The meeting was poorly attended even from inside the UPND, as only very few of their MPs and senior party leaders were in attendance, reducing the meeting to a tiny congregation of bitter tribesmen and women.”

He says UPND have continued misleading themselves by importing people to attend a rally in an area they do not reside adding that people of Kabwata and Lusaka in general have sent a clear message to the UPND, that they are not interested.

  1. this car thief should stop blaming UPND for their failure..your cases are still at large..the PF are hooligans..aren’t you ashamed you maggot Geoffrey?they are not being tribal by attending but supporting democracy!!

    • Always remember these election results trend :
      2001 2005 2008 2011
      PF: 3.35% 29.37% 38.13% 41.98%
      UPND: 26.76% 25.32% 19.70% 18.17%.
      Let your minds dwell on substance, how to win people’s hearts and minds so that they sympathise with you and/or support you. Mind the language you use in your daily campaign. Your words can cause perpetual spiralling to the bottom. Proper reasoning, respecting others be they clever or dull in your eyes. People will judge you and your supporters based on what comes out of your mouth, what you post and your actions. Do not use force when it is not necessary. other people think and judge you as they with encounter you anywhere, any time.

    • BA WATCH DOG USED TO REFER TO IT AS A MAMMOTH RALLY LAST WEEK.NOW THEY CANT EVEN SHOW US PICTURES OF THIS “MAMMOTH RALLY” KEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKE.

    • PF GOING BACK TO THE SAME STUPIDD DEFENCE MECHANISM bitterness,jealous and chocking with envy lol. ba PF just accept you have failed ifintu tafilibwino even a blind man can tell

    • ba pf ifintu tafilibwino zoona where are the jobs for the youths, we don’t even have a policy on job creation yet, all of a sudden we have food shortages (akabunga), someone is blaming the innocent millers, where has our bumper harvest the mmd left gone?, for the first time their is shortage of oxygen at uth imwe ba pf what has gone wrong, we want you to deliver on your promises, we are not stupid we know who is not doing things properly here, we did not go to the rally because of pf violence but we are listening to HH whether you like it or not. HH keep on having rallies and checking the government for us.

  2. Even without thinking, one could see the PF reacting like this! If UPND is tribal, then Sata’s PF is much worse than a family tree!

  3. upnd is too jealous and badly wants to destroy PF because of being ashamed of big 2011 surprise. That made them to employ criminals thru hhyena’s pocket to terrorize Zambia and to shake the government harder without rest. you be CURSE, you hhyena and stupid people among upnd.

  4. I knew PF will go back to their last resort defence; BITTENESS. When they are caught out in their failures its all they have in their defence; whoever catches them will be labeled BITTER. Will they ever move on and be able to discuss issues? i doubt.

  5. hahaha ba PF sata ran his campaigns insulting levy mwanawasa who is ten times the president hed ever hope to be in this life!!and he also insulted RB and MMD ..koma eee chiwamila galu…can they just shut up and get to work..neo nikali nu lindilila more money in my pockets..

  6. Sata…..nists and their limited vocabulary! Typical and boring! Honestly , before the Sata….nists accuse others of tribalism, they should look at the complexion of their cabinet, permanent secretaries, foreign service etc! And it was rammed into the nation that the appointments are as they are because ‘these are the people who voted for PF’ and that ‘the President only appoints people he can work with’ i.e people he shares a mother tongue with! This is what constitutes tribalism!

    • HH is self-centered boy governed by manipulative emotions and prejudices without a grain of sagacity. This is why people never take him as a wise “leader”. He is a goon, a ruffian a hoodlum, never humble but an attention seeker, a show off.
      He has no manners not even bad ones. He can learn some lessons of being humble and rational from Elias Chipimo
      HH’s demeanor is so callous and his insatiable appetite for power is mind-boggling!!
      He is a danger and a polarizing person not only to the people he claims to represent (Tongas) but to the nation at large.
      UPND has remained weak, impotent and is in a political conundrum without a clear way forward other than getting into a political abyss if they choose not to wake up from their slumber.
      As Zambians we say NO to such a political…

  7. We need to raise the standard of politics and handle National issue with dignity. We can’t be discussing insults and we are lobbying for office and people are waiting for answers and action. PF, if you are serious raise the standard when the opposition comes like a flood, and the opposition, we shall not hide in sympathy. we want serious people to reciprocate what the Zambian voters have done. They have shown that we can change and thank God that the only thing that is constant in life is change. Zambia need change and a lasting shift in the mindset to do the best for the country.

  8. What hypocrisy! The PF thugs created fear in those who wanted to attend the rally by blocking the venue. Now this idiot turns around and says the rally was poorly attended. What a shame! On insults, no one insulted anyone. Unless he calls facts as insults then we will agree that PF and Sata were insulted. All what the speakers did was point out the ills of the PF and Sata. If you call these insults then you need your head to be examined. Sata during his days in the opposition insulted people openly. He made fun of people’s health publicly. Unless this criminal has something else to say he should just shut up. Zambians are very intelligent people as compared to you PF thugs. No wonder your audacity to produce such a useless statement.

    • It’s true us Zambians are intelligent.We are able to see that you have failed to come up with your own stratagy of winning elections.You are imitating Sata when he was in opposition.When you insult and are told that you are isulting,all you say is that even Sata used to insult when in opposition.Do you mean you cannot come up with something authetic,something of your own?Lets assume you win elections,God forbid,in 2021,are you going to be doing the same things Sata is doing now and defend yourselves by saying even Sata banned opposition party rallies.PLEASE, BE ORIGINAL.A CRITICAL PERSON CAN NEVER JOIN YOU

    • Just admit the rally was a flop,during the livinstone by election who burnt the pf material? Was this move made to encourage voters?mmd during their tenure tried to disrupt some pf rallies did they manage?no 1 can stop time, your time wil come.mazoka M.H.S.R.P worked so hard to win the hurts of the people.some pipo re overlooking a certain tribe yet they expect support from the same.kaya

    • I agree with you. It is clearly reported that PF youths were violently preventing people from attending the rally and some smart, if not stupid, alec says the rally was poorly attended because UPND is not poular. Typical warped Zambian analyis.

  9. Errr…what UPND achieved on Sunday was quite exceptional….managing to shift the police force and the Ministry of Home Affairs to succumb to their constitutional right of assembling and engaging in public discourse. This has a set a precedence for all opposition political parties, and some court cases may end being mere technical exercises at law.
    I urged many compatriots at home to vote for ba Sata in 20111, BUT things have changed so much, it is not only confusing but a grave concern how intolerant and violent the PF has become. It is almost unthinkable that for such a bold person, the president has yet to address a press conference and engage our vibrant media outlets on a range of national issues in a public forum.
    Well done HH for restraining your cadres, you read the strategy…

  10. But what were pf thugs doing at the rally.Chuumbwe,do have any roots in pf?Give chance to upnd to hold a rally freely without intimidation

  11. Am at a loss as to how our Zambian politics go. Kanshi who gave all this authority to the president? he can wake up to hire and fire anyone he likes. is there any constitution or document that i can read and refer to and maybe understant the job description of the republican president. I think some gov. positions should be appointments while others should be awarded according to qualifications. what criteria does the president use to appoint ambassadors and chif exectives ect. pls someone help me

    • the problem is our constitution which is very defective to say the worst it gives the executive too much powers to hire and fire, the powers of the executive in the new constitution should be streamlined to acceptable levels. How can the Director for ACC/DEC be appointed by the President and be expected to work professionally?there are many wrong things in our the constitution.

  12. Yaba!!We knew it.No one expected large numbers of people to attend a tribal meeting whose headman has no plan or manifesto for development of a country!!UPND is tribal and I am sure they got a rude shock after all the noise they made about a rally in Kabwata.Kabwata is not a village,it is a cosmopolitan area and people there are enlightened on most of the issues UPND wants to talk about.If anything there was no substance in whatever HH said,only insults!!

    • Idiots like you are nauseating.You intmidate the people from not attending the rally then claim UPND has no support.I am 100% Bemba but this PF nonsense i cannot accept.If you cant think of the nation’s interests please then just think of your children.Would you honestly want to leave the nation with such practices for your children’s inheritance?

    • Ha ha ha So you actually see substance in Sata’s activities you tribal chap and compare it with what HH says. Come on man, your hero is a grade 4 retired constable for heaven’s sake. Both HH and sata spent time in the UK. Sata cleaning the Railway Station; HH studying for a Masters Degree in Business Administration at a very good University!!!!!!. lol . Of course that does not mean anything to your PAFWAKA PARTY. There is no way you can compare him to HH on any scale of comparison. HH is practical, educated, exposed, rich and knows what the heckk is strategic planning. Your tired line of labeling him tribal hits right back at you in your face in view of your tribal cabinet;ambassadors and CEOs. May God forgive you and we promise we will not revenge because veageance is the Lords.

    • @ TRUTH PAINS . Who is laughing now,the one who was cleaning the railway station,or the one who was studying for Masters degree?Who is President and in State House between the two people?So surprised that you can even claim to be a Christian and mentioning God’s name in vain when you know deep down your heart that you’re not a Christian.Leave God out of your jealous.

  13. only fools can listen to disgruntled individuals like chuumbwe. an educated cadre. why did they resort to smashing peoples vehicles before the rally? it was to instil fear so that people dont attend. today you maggot u turn around and tell us that the rally was poorly attended when you know the reason. fooolish donkey

    • You are the one who is disgruntled because your rally was a flop. Mr Sata’s rallies were crowd pullers every time he held a rally. I think you were just putting yourselves on test to see whether you will pull a crowd, ALAS, very few hired call boys that came. We saw that on TV. So therefore no one can be disgruntled at all; you are the ones who are sad bros. That was a litmus test for you to see if you pull a crowd.

  14. Why does PF reactions always sound so hollow! Always talk is about individuals and never the issues we face. It is so painful to try and see what point is being advanced, certainly, it does not sound like a government with a solid vision for the country & which is comfortable in its skin.

    • I would rather be a Kaponya and not fillow fools who can not read the situation.The so called Kaponyas are in authority .They are wise and practical degrees are nothing if you are not wise.

  15. PF is so cheap! insults woa, does geoffrey know what an insult is?. i doubt. if one tells PF the truth then hè/she is bitter and insulting. To all the PF members be truthful to yourselves at least Sata has so far failed to leader, he is a zero

  16. Ba Chimbwi If you knew that UPND rally was going to be a flop why did you send your thugs to beat up and threaten innocent people?Its not you and your party to choose or select which political message the people of Zambian will listen to.You guys have failed completely even to construct a simple toilet that your leader was fond of referring to when insulting RB and LPM.In Bemba there is a famous adage -“Ukupesha Chibola Kumupanswila” meaning if you guys think UPND is impotent give them the leeway to conduct their political rallies freely in the country without in hindrance and see whether they have a large following or not.

  17. Geoffrey Chuumbe,
    This fugitive is on interpol’s inventory of wanted cross border car thieves and, he has now turned his temporary freedom into a labelling theory by accusing educated and harding working Tongas of tribalism and bitterness. This is typical of crooks whose backs are facing the dead end.
    Stop blaming the UNPD and Tongas for your incompetence and neglect in lieu of allowing the flow of divergent views and innovatitive ideas which are very important ingredients in the development of Zambia.
    If any person supports the UNPD, he/she should not be treated as a tribalist or a sympathiser of the UNPD but as a free individual who truly comprehends the benefits of a democratic setting. Only those who wish to cling to power indefinitely can label UNPD rank & membership file as…

    • Just to state facts, HH has no reason to be bitter as you like to claim he is. He has more man than the entire PF cabinet members + Mmembe own. He is into politics to serve the Zambian people from poverty. You make all sorts of baseless claims that he stole. This statement hits right in your face because if he stole from a government where Sata was a number 3 and was not arrested then Sata is the most useless human being that has ever lived. By the way, tell your Fred Mmembe man that HH does not have to borrow hear and there to get rich. He built his empire slowly mostly through Consultancy and not through fun loans that will just messy you PF chaps up.

  18. ITS INTERESTING TODAY TO NOTE THAT 99.99% OF UPND POLITICS ARE CENTERED AROUND ONE MAN, THE PRESIDENT. YESTERDAY’S RALLY WAS ALL ABOUT SATA….. IS HE ALL THE ISSUES UPND WANT US TO VOTE FOR? HH AND FRIENDS MUST REALIZE THAT SATA COULD BE A VILLAIN IN THEIR PERCEPTION BUT THE TRUTH IS THERE COULD BE AS MANY VOTER-CARRYING DEVILS IN THE WORLD AS THERE ARE ANGELS IN THE WORLD, THE FORMER COULD EVEN BE IN THE MAJORITY! SATA MAY NOT BE AS EDUCATED AS ONE WOULD WISH BUT SO IS JACOB ZUMA OF SA. SATA AND CO. ARE WISE ENOUGH – THEY APPOINT TECHNOCRATS LIKE CHIRWA, MARK ETC OF ZR AND PROFESSORS IN KEY POSITIONS AS ADVISERS. MY ADVICE TO HH AND HIS FRIENDS THEREFORE IS THAT THEY MUST SPEND MORE TIME ARTICULATING THEIR MANIFESTOS OR THEY WILL FAINT WHEN ELECTION RESULTS ARE RELEASED IN 2016.

    • Do not make fun comparisons out of ignorance you PF rat. The government of South Africa has a proper Constitution and can therefore not be compared to the Zambian Scenario. Who says every public meeting is a manifesto presentation. Was PF presenting its Manifesto at every meeting they held before Sept 2011? Come on, we all know that you want to copy our ideas and claim they are yours. Even if you get the best brains but you are clueless and arrogant as the leader you will still not amount to anything. Your biggest problem as PF is arrogance and Tribalism which you accuse others of. Your Cabinet is 90( Northern ,Luapula and Mafinga) and so is the diplomatic service. Just check who is Southern Province PS and who is Western Province PS. We are not bitter and we will not revenge.

    • You are not worthy a person to engage in an argument of deep thought and your reflection of Tongas mirrors your short narrow minded analysis which comfirms your psychological make up. The above trash tells us much about your below average critical thinking. Flowing from that, is that your thinking is boxed in a context of tribalism and it is not fluid, meaning that it is permanently confined to trivial tribal issues and nothing progressive will ever be fulfilled from your typical views. See you around son

  19. Mr Chuumbwe,zambians are all tribal because of poverty and a sense of belonging!To demonstrate this,you as a Soli went for Chilanga,Masebo in Chongwe and Mwaliteta in kafue under PF with the help of chieftainess! Were you not being tribal?
    Mr Chuumbwe you lost in chilanga to intelligent and hadrworking lawyer Hon Mukata,are you Bitter?
    If you are a genuine democrat,you should have started condemning the PF youth who caused confusion then what was said at the Rally.

    • So Chuumbwe is Soli? People should not mind him because his home area has been overrun by Easterners. He is pretending to be non-tribal that is typical of a thoroughly overrun people.

  20. But honestly gentlemen, how do you get votes from the same people you insult and the same people who are the majority? Something is amiss here. Brains. Ukupoke chinsenda kunkoko, kunakilila. You lack strategy some of you folks here and that amounts to bitterness which does not yield anything tangible. Make a strategy. Pretend you are friendly when inside you are a snake. get what you want, the vote and then make noise. You do not insult and ask the same people you insulted to vote for you. Bupubafye ubo.

  21. Where are the pictures even on ZWD of the rally, I dont want to state how well attended it was without seeing pictures.

    But the following statistics dont lie and are a real reality check, and not insults:

    PF: 3.35% 29.37% 38.13% 41.98%
    UPND: 26.76% 25.32% 19.70% 18.17%.

  22. Only mindles pipo support da upnd,this party used to be the strongest opposition under the late Mazoka but wen this BITTER,TRIBAL guy came in the upnd hs been shambolic.
    Mazoka was a tonga and shud be succeded by a tonga then today you ar f*****g sayin you ar nt a tribal party.
    To all tonga party go to hell and get burnt.

  23. I just wish my beloved President when he comes back from the summit should go and have a rally at the same venue to show this Tonga animal that he is nothing and will remain nothing.

  24. SMALL MINDLESS AND SELF PROCLAIMED EDUCATED BUT BRAINLESS AND CONFUSED BRAIN WASHED ZWD TONGA ARE bitter,AND VISIONLESS, FALSE STORIES BY ZWD IS AN EYE SORE. FIRST CHIBAMBA KANYAMA HAS REFUSED TO BE ZNBC DIRECTOR GENERAL. I said this is untrue CHIBAMBA KANYAMA IS DG. PROF LUO HAS RESIGNED IT CAME OUT SHE WENT TO ATTEND THE FUNERAL. DR KASEBA SATA HAS BEEN GIVEM MORE MONEY THAN ANY OF THE PAST FIRST LADIES, IT CAME OUT MRS RUPHIA BANDA GOT MORE IN THREE THAN DR KASEBA THE ONLY SIN THE GOVT COMMITED WAS TO BE OPEN AND ACCOUNTABLE TO ZAMBIANS.

  25. My brother recommended I might like this website. He was once totally right. This put up actually made my day. You cann’t imagine just how much time I had spent for this info! Thank you!
