Heritage Party President Brigadier General Godfrey Miyanda has called upon President Michael Sata to transfer current Justice Minister Wynter Kabimba from the Ministry of Justice and replace him with a person who will act beyond partisan lines.
In a statement made available to the media, Gen Miyanda said that he believed that PF’s ‘Stop Dora” Campaign was politically motivated due to the PF’s desperation and fear of future bye-elections.
Below is the full Statement;
STATEMENT: MINISTER OF JUSTICE OR PARTISAN PARTY CADRE?
[By Brigadier General Godfrey Miyanda – 7th August 2013]
I call upon the President to transfer the current Minister of Justice, Hon Wynter Kabimba, from the Ministry of Justice and appoint a person who will act beyond partisan lines in this strategic ministry that should be the bastion of the Rule of Law and custodian of our democracy.
The ZNBC evening news of 6th August 2013 showed Hon Wynter Kabimba, Minister of Justice, revealing that he had instructed PF lawyers to “engage” the High Court to act to stop certain opposition MPs from standing in the forthcoming bye-elections. In an act of abdication of his Ministerial portfolio the Minister took off his Justice shield and donned the PF cadre cap by speaking as Secretary General rather than Minister of Justice! We take this to be an attempt to disguise the fact that he is the Minister of Justice at all times who should never act in a partisan way. How can the Justice Ministry remain under a person who has shown clearly that he is a cadre first and Minister of Justice last?
[pullquote]How can the Justice Ministry remain under a person who has shown clearly that he is a cadre first and Minister of Justice last?[/pullquote]
I believe that this PF “Stop Dora” Campaign is politically motivated due to the PF’s desperation and fear of future bye-elections. While it is in order for the PF or any other aggrieved person to go to court to raise issues regarding an election, the latest tactics by the PF Secretary General are baffling. It seems the Minister of Justice has thrown away his legal mind and forgotten that citizens have certain rights that have to be observed whether in civil matters or criminal (or quasi criminal actions such as election petitions).
Under our laws it is NOT automatic that a finding that there was corruption in an election always ends in a disqualification from participation in future elections; it will depend on the evidence. I thus find the tactics being applied by the Minister to be not only irregular but premature and presumptuous.
The Minister, himself a lawyer, announced that he had instructed his lawyers to “engage” the High Court. What is this “engage” language? Rather, an appropriate process is commenced which involves other parties rather than conducting a private “engagement”. How do you challenge something that has not yet happened? Minister Kabimba’s lawyers may end up having no one to sue and instead “engage” the High Court alone! The PF are in such a panic rush to get hold of the Report that they have decided to make desperate short cuts.
[pullquote]The Minister, himself a lawyer, announced that he had instructed his lawyers to “engage” the High Court. What is this “engage” language? [/pullquote]
There is a process or procedure to be followed after a determination of a petition by the High Court. At the conclusion of the hearing, where the High Court finds that some corrupt or illegal acts were committed, the Court would prepare a Report and invite the concerned candidates to show cause why they should not be named in the Report. Only then should the Report be submitted to the ECZ and the DPP. Hon Siliya and others have a right to be heard BEFORE the Report is submitted. The Courts should not be badgered by the Minister of Justice into doing things that are not procedural.
A point of note here is that although it is the High Court that must prepare the Report, in this case the High Court held that there was no corruption; consequently an appeal ensued which culminated in the Supreme Court overturning the High Court decision. Without having had sight of both judgements, I assume that the Supreme Court’s decision was based on points of law, rather than on facts, unless there were grounds to disagree with the court below. Since it is the Supreme Court that made a contrary finding, I would assume that it is the one to make the Report indicating the nature of the evidence given in respect of the corrupt and/or illegal acts as well as naming the person/s found wanting. The Report would be sent to the ECZ and the DPP; with the DPP to establish whether there was sufficient evidence to warrant a prosecution under the corrupt acts under the electoral law. Here I contend that this is a matter for the DPP and NOT the ACC because the offences are corrupt and/or illegal acts under the electoral law.
Lastly, instead of creating so many bye-elections the Minister must consider rejecting the whole 2011 election including that of the President, as it is the credibility of the whole election that must now be in question! This should be done without going to court to trouble and pressurise the judiciary and the hard-working ECZ.
GODFREY MIYANDA,
BRIGADIER GENERAL,
HERITAGE PARTY
[7TH AUGUST 2013]
General you mean well more than ever before
Kabimba knows he’s on the verge of being fired. Last kicks of a dying horse.
Please, spare us your 700 year backward ignorance Kabimba.
PF’s strategy has always been to split the country into 2 groups:
Group 1: The Poor, The Youth, ‘Bembas’, Catholics, ‘Kaponyas’, Lazy People and Relatives.
Group 2: The Hard Worker, The Affluent, The Investor, The Saver, The Familyman and The Ambitious.
People like ba Winter (mature spelling), ba Sylvia, Mmembe and Storella are tasked with ensuring that Group 1 remains wishful and intact as it has the much needed “high numbers” that ba Winter preached about on Muvi.
I’m part of Group 2 (just like most of you) and I pay no attention to anything coming out of the above named people. Worse even – ba Kambwili, ba Mwaliteta, Masumba, ba Sichinga, ba Kasonde and ba JT Phiri.
R.I.P. to LAZ, the Judiciary, morale, productivity, etc. Damn I’m glad I’m rich
What a load of nonsense. Since when does an advise to the president constitute a well written message to the press by Mr Miyanda’s secretary.
This is nonsensical bizarre unwarranted and unnecessary, but then I expect people who are mental midgets on here to think Mr Miyanda ‘s ‘saying’ something sensible,
There is a reason he has perpetually made misdemeanant since he fortuitously became the vice president of your country
A desperate man trying to be relevant still admiring his own shadow.
someone pass a puke bucket.
Thanks
Ba Mushota lelo balembako Ichisungu bwino (not the substance written which does not make sense).
Pali uwabalembelako obviously.
Anyone seen Injustice Minister Kabimbya today? I need to perfom my famous citizen ARREST!!
Imwe bantu imwe, dont you realise that these ARVs have side effects? sorry no offense but i thought you all know that when one takes in so much medication and for years, such strong medication i emphasise, they cross over to the otherside, i mean balapenako, i guess this should be the case with one minister we are talking about here.
I therefore urge our political leaders to thoroughly inverstigate the applicants of public office in order to avoid such problems.
Solution? sick permanent leave!
@cindy
your comment violates human right… its true but too strong…kekekekekekekekekekek
@Mushota
Stop plagiarizing my comments. You have copied a comment I wrote, almost word for word, but it was about you.
Be original in your stupidity. Please.
Will she campaign as she did in 2011?
And Siliya has continued her onslaught on PF leader Michael Sata, this time describing him as a disrespectful old man who did not come from human beings.
Addressing villagers who waited for her for over five hours at Chisonso Middle Basic School on Friday afternoon, Siliya told the electorate that they should not vote for Sata because he would enact homosexuality laws.
@Remove Immunity
Stick your tongue up your own arse and see what else you can pull out. I am Bemba and take exception to ignorant fools who can’t see beyond tribe.
Fcuking *****. The biggest mistake your father made was not pulling out in time.
Ndobo,
am not trying to break any laws am just putting it like it is, true or false? It may sound strong but thats the reality, am not saying they are no longer people and shouldnt be treated like people, yes they deserve the same rights as us, am sorry am using “they” and “us” words which seems to be allienating, but please dont get me wrong guys i cant seem to find the right words in seconds, my point is lets watch out who we give stressfull jobs they can bear stringent consquencies,ndobo dont make me feel guilty.
@cindy
dont feel guilty, you are right unfortunately there is no softer way to put your accurate point/points across
The Editorial comment in to day’s Post Newspaper is passionately urging our courts and Government to fight electoral bribes by disallowing candidates whose seats have been nullified.
The puzzle I see is that our own DPP Mutembo Nchito:-
a) is a documented forger
b) is on record to have corruptly issued a nolle in favour of Raja Mahtan who in turn discontinued a court case against Mutembo Nchito where he was being sued for recovery of US$4m owed to Finance Bank.
Where is the morality of allowing criminals occupying important judicial positions while pursuing an individual who merely said words during the campaign that have now turned out to be true?
Advice not advise is the correct English miss imaginary PHD student.
DORA TO DIE 4!
@Remove Immunity THEN find charges
Please stop the tribal talk. Again stop polarising people. Again, concerning your last parting point, please read Proverbs 13 vs 7. Wisdom itself you will find there.
I love it! Thank you sir –
am i missing a point here? the once not so popular Dora has become a darling to the masses… even to the extent of being defend by General Miyanda of all people
Is because Dora has a special charm which turns the masses on…especially men? or people realised hate for PF so much so that people will love anyone who will stand against PF?????????
General, all your facts are correct. Why not call for a new election if PF are that popular?
pf is not popular all they are doing is grooming Dora as president material she is
a strong woman fit for president
Winter is not a type that listens. He’s got no “thermostat” or nsoni. No sense of humour. People wil speak but he behaves like no one has spoken. I thank you General for your words though the pipo you’re talking to have no ears.
I think there is need to sue the people that awarded WK a law qualification.
That institution, I will never take my son to it. It has lost all legitimate credibility.
….the most sensible living politician in Zambia! it’s cracking!
TeamDoraPetauke2013 Campaign is now OPEN. Wynter, his Sperm Bank Bonkmate Sylvia Masebo Murambiwa, Ka Edgar Lungu and others will **** in their BOXER shorts.
teamDoraPetauke2013 let is raise Money and campaign ceaselessly to ensure DORA gets back to MandaHill.

FIRE WYNTER KABIMBA from Government and the Party. Kabimba has nothing tangible to stand on. He’s being lying to Sata all along, time has caught up with him.
He’s in the Government at the Grace of President Sata whose he’s being calling as SICK. He’s proved to be a Danger to himself, the PF and the Country. FIRE HIM from the PARTY AND GOVERNMENT.
THIS IS HOW CI KACHINGWA WAS CHEATING ON RB.IT IS TIME THESE LEADERS IN MMD LINE UP FOR NEVERS.THERE IS POWER IN UNITY.LOOK AT MADAM DORA….
TeamDoraPetauke2013
Viva Team. DORA4LIFE
Wynter Maize Kabimba needs to be fired. Not transferred. he is better OFF as SG cadre for PF.
Abena GBM ka funding kabili. Wynter Kabimba is on the alter ready for slaughter…….
Wynter has undermined u sir, such a huge man…. Time to pay back!!!!
Spot on, General. Kabimba has proven beyond any reasonable doubt that the office of Minister of Justice is beyond him. All his efforts to ‘wing it’ are backfiring.
Abena Kambwili Chishimba. winter is a lame duck now. Attack. Remember he sponsored David Salubaje in Kabwata to say u were giving Youth empowerment funds to Girlfriends. That destroyed your moral standing.
Wynter on the alter ka funding kabili to finish him OFF.
Kabimba needs to be euthanized…….his quality of life is very poor due to his underdeveloped mental capacity. He’s a danger to himself and society. His, is a life not worth living. It’s time to release him from his misery!
It is also in PF’s interest to move this Kabimba away from Ministry of justice because PF’s efforts to attract investment into Zambia are being undone by this man as no serious investor would want to rick investing in a Country whose custodians of the law are themselves so inept. Kabimba compounds existing risks in business and is simply bad for business.
If Kabimba wants to nullify seats based on pending litigation or suspected corruption which has not been proved, let him apply that to the Masumba’s (certificate), Namulambe’s ( bicycles) etc
Kabimba is a useful dull lawyer. jst thinking
Kabimba’s Law syllabus could have had a lot of ommisions
He’s also too lazy to even consult those in the know
The Free Dictionary defines Justice as the “The upholding of what is just, especially fair treatment and due reward in accordance with honor, standards, or law”.
Hon. Kabimba, SC is highly compromised by holding the portfolio of Justice and the position of PF Secretary General. This is obvious to anyone who cares to pay attention. The current arrangement works well in a one-party state where citizens’ political affiliation is not a factor. All Zambians, regardless of partisan allegiance, look to the Justice Minister for legal justice.
Will HH, for instance, get fair treatment from Hon. Kabimba under the current circumstances? Very unlikely, and yet, HH as a Zambian citizen and tax payer, is entitled to receive justice from the GRZ.
Ba PF you need to listen. Kabimba is dead weight for the party. Him and GBM need to be let go. They’ve caused the PF so much unpopularity. i say abash ba Kabimba and his 700 years backwardness! PF get organized and convince your man at the helm to reorganize the party.
People what has Mr. Kabimba done, we have to be specific and tell the national. Mr. President (SATA) please don’t swallow everything that people say, better digest it before making a decision. People like Mr. Kabimba and Dr. Scott have a strong voice to defend the party, getting rid of them is killing PF and thats what people like Mr. Miyanda want. Regards
General Miyanda knows the PF are following the right procedure. We elected the PF to uphold the law. The question is WHY is the HIGH COURT not producing the REPORT after a candidate has been found wanting as per the requirements of the law? All Kabimba is doing both as Minister of Justice (this is a justice issue for the people of Zambia) and PF secretary general (an important issue for the PF as a political party) is to move the court to abide by the law.
The only thing I find disappointing about Kabimba is his failure to reform the Judiciary. He is taking too long to institute serious changes in the judiciary. The law on electoral mal-practices is very clear. It is the Judiciary that is failing the people, it shoud therefore be reformed.
Zambians DO NOT UPHOLD CORRUPTION.
@ mwelesa wafyeni Zambia.
Read and understand. The high court did not find any corruption issue with Dora, the reason PF appealed to defunct Supreme court that found Dora wanting. How do you expect High court to issue a report. it is the supreme to write. However, the law say it should be the High court and not the supreme court.
Baller yalula
@Italian Presdential Material – What you have said is what ba Miyanda is saying. But that is not what the law says. The law stipulates that the HIGH COURT – not the SUPREME court should write the report and submit to the Electrol Commission. The big point here is, there is a law that regulate nullification of elections and a procedure that the courts must follow. Whey are they not following it??? Ba Miyanda is insinuating that PF should not follow the law, that is just not right.
u may not stomach it but the fact is kabimba is a pillar of PF and his removal will see the END of mighty PF and SATA cant risk that. shikulu do not listen to those who want u to remain alone in the party let them concentrate sorting out problems in their parties other than misleading u
He his also the person who will make PF see the DOOR in 2016
We original PF members think Kabimba is doing a good job. The only people that are always criticizing are those that have always been critical of PF from its inception. If critics think Winter is making PF unpopular, they should be celebrating so that PF is kicked out of power in 2016. But alas, the reason they are being critical of him is because they know the PF is becoming even stronger. So we’ll just be watching people like Miyanda yap and we will continue with our programs.
I have found this General to be very sensible whenever he speaks. Even during the FTJ reign when Godfrey Miyanda, Arthur Wina, Dr Lumizu Shimaponda, Levy Mwanawasa spoke it would make some sense where there was a national issue.
atleast king Solomon was wise and had a kingdom, manje ba Miyamba has cyber followers
WTF?
Hon Kabimba and Hon Lungu are among Zambia’s best legal minds and they just want justice to prevail.No need to transfer a hard working minister.You are just feeling the heat.Gen Miyanda,i have a question for you Sir.With due respect,were you in Zambia prior to 2011 elections when President Sata suffered humiliation on a daily basis on ZNBC ? How many times did you stand as a concerned Zambian to protect the man ?ZERO ! The problem with Zambia is too much hypocrisy.Cry my beloved Country……….!
Correct!!!!!!!!
If we were to be honest about things, did ZNBC and Chanda Chimba III lie about Michael Sata?
Joel, what does “Cry my beloved country” at the end of your rant mean? Apart from being an over-quoted title of a book, that is.
Also, Sata is now PRESIDENT. He wasn’t then. Capish?
yOU MUST BE ON WEED
I have always admired the intelligence,wisdom and soberness with which Gen. Miyanda looks at issues. This man has it all for a president and a good one for that matter. However, us humans easily fall for lies and are repulsive to truth, the more reason we end up with leaders who are a let down. But these leaders are not to blame because it is us who give them the mandate to rule. I pray that one day we shall be a people who will embrace truth by being able to see through those who strive on lies-Zambia shall be saved!
People like wk are the ones sending pf fast into oblivion. They are very pompous. Wk is always finding himself on the wrong side of the law. Adhere to advice to save the remaining little credibility of yours if at all there’s any remaining. Wk you are a disaster to pf,country and the appointing authority. Look at the way you behaved at acc . Shame on you man for thinking that you are above the law and you dug a bottomless pit which him and pf have fallen into. Who will rescue these people?
Gen Miyanda. This is brilliant. Only one point I disagree with. Wynter Kabimba has never had a legal mind. He is SC by luck and favour. A simple check shows that there are simply no cases that talk about Wynter Kabimba. It also shows why our judiciary is so polarised. He is not an intelligent man at all.
Zambians lets give chance to General to rule this country. I checked around all the oppositions, the only person who is honest and mature to rule this country is Gen.
General please start campaigning. Come out and start reoganising your party.
You are right Pelete. The only thing people are uncomfortable about him is that he carries that military tag. I hear he was at Sandhurst Military academy in the same intake with Mushala and Gaddafi. They could be wrong.
If our politics in Zambia were mature and issue-based, the General would certainly be heads and shoulders above all other politicians. No doubt about that. And the military tag is actually be a positive tag because when used correctly like in western Countries e.g. here in UK, it is brings about orderliness and respect.
Pelete probably in your dreams!! This Guy who can’t even seem to run his own party – you elect to make him presido??? Give us a break!!
KK needs help
Accessing ZWD here in chisamba!
Yeah,
I read that a deputy minister of Labour, a Mr Chitotela expressed his happiness that ZWD is blocked. He said you can’t access it because it’s housed in Australia!
What a tool.
Chitotela is a fool too stupid to know how to use a computer. And a bigger fool to show his ignorance in public.
PF has wasted millions of our taxpayers money on a stupid effort to block the ZWD.
ZWD is freely available in Zambia if you know where to look.
Patriotic Front is going nowhere nabafilwa elo bafilwa bwangu if me who is not a fun of politics am able to see their wrong path what of real and true politicians
What has the Bembas to do in the isue of the Justice Minister? Kindly let us be civil in handling nationa issues.i dont know where (Mr/Mrs/Ms/Miss/Dr/ProfRemove Immunity THEN find charges) has involved innocent Bembas.us avoid issues of Tribe and divisions in our beloved Country Zambia we are all one and the same people ……………..there should be no mentioning of Bemba,Tonga,Lozi Lunda,Tumbuka or any other tribe.stay blessed
Tell them my brother or is it sister? The tribal insults especially between Bembas and Tongas is sickening. Zambia is bigger than Sata and HH. A lot of us innocent Bembas are having to endure these insults when we don’t even support what Sata stands for – the same goes with innocent Tongas. We need to be more civilized as Zambians – otherwise all our education is in vain.
Bemba chiefs are the most persecuted in this country. Not every one who speaks Bemba in Muchinga or Northern Province is a Bemba. Is Myles Sampa or Sata Bemba? Bemba is used only as vehicle to get power.
Trnsfr Wynter where?Nonsense has he faild to perfom?Yes Dora’s case is politcal & so shudnt be handled,why?Yes its politcal bt stil must be decided whwther motivated tht way.Wynter is simply givng the legal aspects of her mai boksi soft balms the implications of hr stance.Shud she b left jst like tht?Wht kind of manerless is this?So why talk of trnsfr mr vilage conept!Jst wait yr usual general elections nomination.As fr now sleep u may wakeup a genius.
Pontificate-In-General!
Hey when he speaks i listen, when he walks i watch bravo my general.
mr pat you are indeed a monkey. do not say we, you are just an individual, say i, speak for yourself do not speak for me too, 1diot. i can never vote back this rubbish government come elections i am voting for a candidate bellow the age of 60years
Jealousy Jealousy ! it wont take the Country anywhere.You should admit that Kabimba is too smart for you.The man is just intelligent and us non partisan Zambians admire the leadership qualities in this man.HE can never make a mistake to transfer the man and play in the hands of the likes of Miyanda.Joel asked Gen Miyanda a question and we cant see the response.Even 2016,we shall vote for PF again because we have seen.They are a serious government.

This should be done without going to court to trouble and pressurise the judiciary and the hard-working ECZ….” …………. The General has spoken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…………..kikikikikikikikikikikiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
My question to the learned friends is:
If a candidate whose election to Parley is nullified and the same person recontests and is elected; would the Nullification therefore been necessary?
I wish PF would listen to wise counsel they are given freely, this Kabimba is plotting your downfall, please get rid of him now.
Kabimba is a loose canon now. Fortunately he is causing more harm to PF.
Ba winter where u when masumba and namulambe were being adopted by pf. Is it another animal Farm?
namulambe and masumba resigned boss!!!!!!!! there elections were not nullified.
Well spoken General and observed.
Winter Kabimba needs to show leadership as Minister of Justice (Fairness) he risks cheapening this key Ministerial position which he is very much using to fight and bully perceived enemies or opponents. He was accusing UPND of holding MPs’ hostage, because as far as his concerned all opposition MPs’ should cross over to PF so that we are back to one Party state and people will then have to stop coughing.
When RB lost elections he admitted that they, “MMD” did not listen. PF is going same way, we are witnessing the same arrogance and attitude. Do not take God’s people for granted! Ask KK
Well articulated General, Kabimba is dull and a cadre who over rates himself, he can’t believe he lost bye elections.
This Man Called Winter Maize K. is a very useful, he should not be moved let alone be fired from PF! He is rapidly making PF very unpopular wich is a plus to those who love democracy-as pf has demonstrated to be an enermy of democracy-eg by supressing divergient views.
This Man should actually stay long in his position as SG and Minister, coz each time he opens his mouth even a child can see arrogance. Let him test his popularity by standing in any election, he will cry mayo! he is an eminent danger to PF and Zambian democracy… i like his PF distruction force…though
Good advise from the WISE MEN OF THE EAST. Well said General Miyanda.
The moral calibre of any government , including the PF system, can only be mirrored through the Ministry of Justice. But this time around the world sees the PF Govt as being run by a fleet of persons with warped mind-sets. If the PF party considers itself to have assumed the role of legalising and executing deception, gangsterism, andtorture, then let the Govt openly create the Ministry of Gangsterism, Deception and Torture, and then appoint Kabimba as Minister, Mmembe as its Deputy Minister and Mutembo Nchito as its Permanent Secretary. Africa and the World will respect PF for its boldness in destroying the rules of Law in this country.
It’s good that we’ve leaders who can speak clearly and wisely like the General.If only they can maintain such even when in power,we would’ve developed in leaps and bounds but State House, I think,change the wise to the foolish once they win elections. So how long can we experiment with these leaders? Let’s not put all the trust in mere mortals.
Wynter acts in the interest of PF, not of justice. As long as PF is under threat, Wynter will stand to fight tooth and nail until PF wins. He is strategically put there as Justice Minister to win cases for PF. The Injustice Minister will pay one day.
As Miyanda has said, the 2011 election should be declared null and void as ‘no’ party was free from corruption. According to Myles Sampa, PF lied to the electorates in the run up to the 2011 elections; the 90 day promises. Lying is part of corruption making all the sixty parliamentary seats and the presidency corruptly won. Consequently, two years down the road, the PF have scored ZERO vis-a-vis their own promises.
Very good observation General. Plenty substance too. You are the type that is fit to rule. You remind me of the late Mwanawasa. Very Analytical and pretty logical!
I do not see the difference between Bowman Lusambo and Winter Kabimba,same cadre nosense , but one can forgive Bowman but Winter ,I mean the man is a lawyer
Ba Brig, the man who thinks alone and acts alone. Sometimes you just shell out from nowhere and write letters and suggestions which are not really inspirational. If you are a politician, try working with numbers, I mean, group yourself with others other-than been isolated. Politicians are springing out from nowhere and are amassing numbers by involving themselves in by-elections, yet you have been in the political arena for years with currently no seat in parliament. Even independent MP’s better than you.
General is right! Considering the number of byelections so far, it is then prudent to conclude that the whole elections, presidential inclusive where corrupt. Therefore, If the PF are corrupt free, as they claim to be, then they should NULLIFY the entire elections and call for fresh ones. In the history of world governance, we have so far highest byelections conducted so far, meaning the entire elections were fraudulent. I rest my case…
Nevers Mumba when as a preacher used to carry the theme “ZAMBIA SHALL BE SAVED” , This time is more appropriate than ever. Zambia needs to have a united opposition that will save Zambia. It appears all opposition presidential candidates seem to have hidden and personal agends , (perhas on how best they can loot the country of its resources) if all could agree and come up as a united front they can unseat the current Government.
To the current Governemnt Please focus .. its a sham and an embarrasment to the international community is laughing at our crop of leaders whose daily routine is to condem the Zambian watchdog and ECZ.
Nevers, HH, and others forget your own personal agendas and work together for a common cause. Support the daily NATION and Zambian WATCHDOG to increase your…
There is a situation in which I really see the PF out of office and in serious shock, bigger shock than the MMD, I will not stress it out but it looks highly likely!
Well said General. Kabimba is a ……………
Mulusa and the General are the sober minds in Zambian politics. How I wish the two could come together and form a party. I would join it. General as President, Mulusa vice, Muhabi as Secretary General, Kaingu chairman mobilization, Pande publicity, Silwamba, legal, Kalima women affairs, HH treasury, Nevers Assistant to the President. What a team! Suggest yours, please!
@ miyanda for president, I suggest u as Supreme president of this new govt., i mean your line up is fine but you should be the think tank, above president Miyanda. And this govt will be made by your new party called PDM (Party for Disgruntled Midgets), yourself as the Supreme leader, how about that.
Bulawayo you are full of hot air. Relax!
I understand Kabimba has acquired a new degree; D.O.P.F, Destroyer of Patriotic Front.
The General is right that, if the Supreme Court judgment against Dora implies that she told lies then the whole 2011 should be brought into question because Sata told a lie too about his ability to develop Zambia in 90 days.
Ba miyanda just shut up, you don’t have any one in parliament, what are you fighting for.
Your party is only your famiy period
Well done General but let us face the facts here. The issue of the “CADRES” taking up key if not all government positions is not something that we should even waste time on because every political party wants to ascend to power and promote its own ideals. By doing this it has to employ its members who fought hard. – ofcourse not all cadres are good but I do not believe that the opposition political leaders are the ones who should offer “correct” advise to the party in government when all they need is to pray that the party in government makes more and more mistakes so that they capitalise on that. Is this not one of the reasons why the General even produced his letter to the public so that he lets the public know that he has done it? Well done General but I do not think you really…
Miyanda has failed to run his own party, (its now a one man party) let alone spell out tangible programmes that HP has for Zambia except the laughable (plagiarised Ujaama) Village Concept. Talking is an industry in Zambia. So much energy and time spent yapping! Such impractical men with no sound/workable economic theoretical blueprint to follow should not pretend that they can make better presidents.
The General is a very proud leader of the Heritage Party but the danger with him is that he does not want to give in. He wants to stick to what he knows and understands to himself – to me that is the danger. Principled people are never good leaders but to be good leader you need to be flexible and at times give in. PF may have not yet implemented some of its promises because they had to accommodate to some extent even the views of people like those of the General – they are governing the entire Zambia and not PF alone. To an outsider, everything looks simple but to an insider he finds that he may not have control on some things. A promise will always remain so and can only be fulfilled if certain conditions allow.
we kno u vry well kabimba is a threat to all of u tu upnd and the so called mmd.every statement he issues you get touched,PF is kabimba period.Ba miyanda u have tried enough it cant work let it go pliz.
Mr Winter (correct spelling) Kabimba has form for blurting out his ludicrous and dictatorial opinions on Zambia’s democracy. One wonders whether this Winter Kabimba has any brains at all and it seems this man is on a mission to offend as many people as possible. Make no mistake PF will pay a heavy price for this ridiculous behaviour. As General Miyanda has rightly pointed out, if 2011 were fraudulent as Kabimba alleges, why not dissolve parliament and call fresh elections? PF a government birthed in lies.
Tinkering Kabimba is doing harm to our democratization process. It is time Zambians put him in their blackbook. Blacklist the fool. Shame
Mr Miyanda is right. We need to separate part functions from the state functions. We need the new constitution before 2016 so can sort out all the contentious issues. The learned men in the judicial system have failed us because they operate in a corrupt environment and make decisions based loyalty to the appointing authorities.
once beaten twice shy,a cadre will always be a cadre.this man s in the interest of the party and not people of zambia.The whole scenario is just a mess pf government not zambian government.Great follow up the mr Mbl
