The People’s Pact Launched

Share

Col Panji Kaunda

Former United Party for National Development official Colonel Panji Kaunda has denied allegations that he is going round the country campaigning for Patriotic Front Leader Micheal Sata.

Col Kaunda,who was expelled from the UPND for openly declaring his support for Mr.Sata has since formed the People’s PACT,a movement that is going round the country collecting people’s endorsement over their Presidential preference among the two opposition leaders,Sata and Hakainde Hichilema.

Col Kaunda says the people’s PACT was formed with a sole purpose of democratically removing the MMD from power using a collective decision,  adding that
the movement is a replacement of the UPND-PF PACT which has since collapsed.

“After the collapse of the PACT,we thought we should go to the people themselves to find out which candidate people themselves want based on the popularity since their leaders have failed to agree ..so that was how we formed this coalition”, Col Kaunda said after the launch of the movement in Livingstone on Saturday.

Col.Kaunda,who is now the interim Chairperson of the Peopls’s PACT says people should not misunderstand the motive of the movement to be a campaign vehicle for SATA despite him having endorsed the PF Leader ahead of the forthcoming election polls.

After making the declaration in favour of Sata,the UPND immediately announced Col.Kaunda’s expulsion from the Party.

“That was my opinion,I was asked as a politician ‘who do you think can win these elections between Sata and HH’ my answer was Sata because he is more popular and I was expelled from the Party but this movement has nothing to do with that, it is purely a pressure group to remove the ruling Party from power,”he said.

Col.Kaunda,who however has maintained that even though he has been expelled from the UPND,he is ready to work with any members of the opposition whose goal is to remove the ruling Party from Government.

Meanwhile a co-opted member of the People’s PACT,Francis Muchiba,who is also former United National Independence Party(UNIP)District Chairman for Livingstone says the MMD Government should be removed from power because it has failed to deliver.

Mr.Muchiba pointed out a number of parastatal companies in Livingstone that have collapsed as a justification of the failures.

“Look, since we need to remove this Government in power, what we are saying is let us put someone not necessarily a perfect leader but someone who we will give conditions that opens the doors for us,it might be Sata,it might be Hakainde but the idea is they open the door for us ,”

The Launch that was held at Villa Grounds in the vicinity of Livingstone’s largest township Dambwa was fairly attended with notably only one member of the UPND seated at the high table.

  1. what is this old col. trying to do..?why is he now changing positions about supporting sata ..hehehehehe..wapya munzi!that party you are launching won’t go anywhere!

  2. Look since we need to remove this Government in power what we are saying is let us put someone not necessarily a perfect leader but someone who will give conditions that opens the doors for us,it might be Sata,it might be Hakainde but the idea is they open the door for us

    Please Guys, this is no time for experiments; Panji is also another MCS, he changes within a split of a second.

    No chance for you Folks, You had better put the money you re using travelling up country to buy Inputs for your farm, rains will soon be here. No more Kaunda in the Politics of Zambia, just hang Panji.

    By the way, the more Satana uses uou the more will the boat sink because Kaunda is not a household name in Zed

    Free advice, take it or leave it Pa Fwaka

  3. When Sata and HH were heavily disillusioned on championing their now defunct PF-UPND Horse-Rider PACT between themselves, H.E President said he was not bothered with doomed the Sata-HH doomed pact because his launched PACT is with the people of Zambia from border to border. Hardly 2 years has passed the Head of State has been vindicated. While this Sata-HH pact is a moribund, RB’s PACT with the people is Nafuti nafuti.

  4. New political party formed

    A new political party has been formed ahead of the general elections scheduled for later this year.
    The new political party is the third new party in a space of six months just before the general elections.
    The other new parties are the ADEDO ZAMUCANO for Brown Kapita, a Zambian based in Neatherlands.
    The other party is the National movement for progress for former Finance Minister, Ng’andu Magande.
    The new political party called People of This Way has been formed by a Lusaka businessman, Bernard Mumba, who also says the party symbol is the bible.

  5. Magande confirms his presidential polls candidature
    Former Finance and National Planning Minister, Ng’andu Magande says he will contest in the Presidential elections set for this year.
    Mr Magande will contest under his newly founded National Movement for Progress Party.
    The party’s National Coordinating Chairperson Dube Tembo has confirmed the adoption of Mr Magande, who is the party interim president, as well as his candidature.
    Mr. Tembo has further revealed that the National Movement for Progress Party will also field candidates in all constituencies for the parliamentary elections.
    Meanwhile, Mr Tembo has ruled out the party’s possibility of fielding candidates in local government elections.

  6. Confusion at its best. What is he saying? He is just shoewing us why he did not make success of his father’s success. And he is still failing…..

  7. What peoples pact, no wonder only PF acdres attended! We will vote tactfully to produce a balanced parliament were no single party can dictate issues without consulting others. This is the biggest problem in Zambian politics, were the ruling party bulldozes it’s way on any major issues including the constitution. Don’t be deceived by this peoples pact nonsense. Sata and Rupia are both the same and think alike. They are like two old identical twins fighting over a cob of maize. They were both in UNIP and MMD. They are both close to Chiluba. They are both dictators and like exploiting tribal politics to their advantage. Vote wisely, vote HH for real change!!!

  8. Dear Bloggers, what is in politics which cause people especially former Ministers or let alone Sons of former politicians to want to continue politiking?

    I stand to be enlightened

  9. The opposition have lost the golden opportunity,there is nothing that the retired Soldier will do to change the fortunes of PF and UPND,who does he think he is on the Zambian political platform,what command and respect does he have from the general populace,after all it was greed by MCS and HH that has brought about this developement.With or without PVT,with or without vote rigging MMD is winning these elections,therefore Bawesu ma Panji find other things to do.

    • More chiefs in Southern province have distanced themselves from the Royal Foundation of Zambia Southern province chapter’s declaration of support for President Rupiah Banda’s candidature in this year’s general election.
      In an interview with the Watchdog Monday, chief Haamusonde of Monze West said it is misleading for chief Mukuni to announce a binding declaration without support from other traditional leaders.
      “As chiefs we didn’t agree or endorse President Rupiah Banda for presidency in that meeting which was held in Mazabuka, I can’t remember endorsing him for this year’s election. It is wrong for chief Mukuni and Mwanachingwala to suggest their personal opinion to the entire traditional leadership, that is why some chiefs are saying the institution of traditional leaders lacks…

  10. Panji doesn’t seem to know what he wants or was talking about ..he’s slowly changing his position..and PF may cry foul at the end of it !

  11. Panji u are free do that even for PF. Noone can stop u from doing that, u are just using your free will for the benefits of Zambian’s.

  12. Col. Panji Kaunda has the right to do what any Zambian wishes to do so i do not see why any one should call him names. The problem with some of you chaps you want every one to belong to your useless parties no, any normal adult has right to do what they feel is right for them if you do not agree with me then go to hell.

    • london walasa walikwata amano mwandi Col Kaund has the right to do what ever he wants to do dont mind these chaps who just open their mouth anyhow

  13. Panji’s movement is turning into a political party. Why do zambian politician act so insincere? Even magande, it was the same political gymnastics.

  14. Good afternoon
    Democratically speaking, the idea and purpose of the People’s Pact is a good one but will it achieve it’s objective? It’s too early to tell. Let’s wait and see.

  15. No winning solidarity can be realized nationally on mere objective of removing a national people’s ruling party from power without national plan. Panji comes out to be a very myopic Groupthink victim. He should have upgraded his education like his late brother NgaWezi when time allowed him. Here he is showing the country that he lack basic concepts of political campaign management. He says, “our goal is to remove the ruling Party from Government”.
    This clearly is MMD Nafuti nafuti.

  16. Whatever Peoples Pact this Panji boy is talking about will not work

    In the copperbelt, the UPND support has started going towards MMD. They know that HH is better working with RB. I for one as UPND follower support this move, which will stop SATA from having any chance.
    In Southern province, MMD has a chance to gain more votes. It also appears most Chiefs are now sending directives to the Village Headmen influence voters stop Sata from getting Plot One.

  17. HH is seriously thinking about this. He does not want to differ with the Chiefs in his native area. HH knows that he cannot win it alone, but at the same time does want to wake the day after the elections and find Sata in State House. For that, he is willing to allow RB go all the way to 2016. This is not about selling out. This is a tactical way of stopping Sata.

  18. It does not matter what Panji, Sata, Nawawiki, The Catholic Bishops says.

    HH is not stupid. He is playing tactics to put himself in a better position in 2016. We also know that this Homosexual thing has & will keep injuring SATA/ PF a lot.
    This year’s elections are about tactics. HH will determine if RB stays in State House. HH has seen that RB has done his best to bring development, especially in Rural Areas, which Chiluba/Sata had forgotten completely for 10 years
    HH is an opposition leader so he can not praise & praise RB because that will appear like he is endorsing MMD.

  19. So the question to my fellow UPND Supporters is: Who would you prefer to be in State House, if HH does not get enough votes in this year elections? Is it RB or SATA?

  20. Panji is now a clowny!!! We do not want any circus here….please do not infect people with your ideas which have not direction. Just support existing parties or form your own. LT, don’t publish such stories, sure you servers have better news to store than this.

  21. lol so u just want to remove pipo from power just becoz. Sounds very dull mwe. Pipos Pact (sounds like cbu porn movie) just dissolve now, u cant make any impact now.

  22. @ Zed Patriot

    It’s right. A True balanced parliament is what we need.

    I was a secondary school teacher at 4 secondary schools in Southern Province before I changed my career to study accounts, hoping to finish my studies this year. I know the area though I am from Central Province and I hear what some chiefs are proposing to HH to work with RB

    UPND is better working with RB than SATA. If SATA wins, he will find a way to revenge on HH or finish the guy. The man is unpredictable and a devil.

    • u just ignorant my friend and stop showing it on the media!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!RB AND HH WORKING TOGETHER!u gat to be dreaming and shatop!!

  23. I think ichichitata Nachipanga Party yachiko, Zambians we should learn to suppport one another. Never in my right mind can i support this chitata.

  24. PF wake up, Panji is an opportunist. Thats how they expelled him from UPND, He has managed to trick the POST for coverage, SATANA that he was campaigning for him.

    Anyhow , low levels of education are a big reason for this. The learned read through Panji

  25. Insanity of the greatest order. How possible is it that you call it a pressure group yet have Som1’s name in mind as presidential preferred candidate? This pact is with who? Panji you have lamentably failed your vision. Why are you obsessed with Sata given that world momentum is pro young and new leadership paradigm shift? For example your father KK was president in his 40s and delivered. its only when age caught up with him and started misfiring that we chucked him out. why do you want to take us aback? stranded politician that you are… Wake up now or else you are in for a big shock with your Sata. he will cry worse than is on You Tube. By the way the writing is clear on the wall ‘ RB & SATA ARE TOOO OLD. Both born in 1937. They shld have immediately taken over from your father.

  26. Panji might just manage to pull a fast one, second Kaunda at state house. Dribbling at its best, watch the space

  27. Just adding to Zambia’s statistics on infant mortality. By the way, do I detect a change of heart regarding your political allies, Panji? Did you just learn a few truths about your allies rather belatedly?

  28. My prayer for mother Zambia is that God grants Zambia a leader who is selfless, honesty, principled, a democratic, whose desire shall be to serve Zambians in humbleness. A listening leader who is open to positive advice and criticism. Not a leader whose desire shall be to worshiped and whose ears are closed to advice.

    Fellow Christians let us stand up and join our hands in prayer. Let us ask God to intervene and provide us with a leader who will shepherd Zambia in the fear of God. A leader who will execute fair justice, a leader who will seek God’s approval in all his decisions by committing his ways and plans to God. This is my prayer for mother Zambia.

    Christians join me in praying for mother Zambia. Let us pray that God grants us principled leaders who will serve people.

  29. Lusaka Times please learn not to twist facts: here are the facts panji is supporting Sata as stated in other papers and i quote:

    Panji, who was recently expelled from the UPND, has announced that the only way to change government this year is through the Patriotic Front which he is supporting.
    Panji Kaunda also boasted at the launch of the PPF that the UPND has lost a ‘great leader ‘in him.
    Panji, who is the interim chairman of the PPF, charged that his expulsion from the UPND has not made any impact in his life.
    He told journalists in Livingstone that his expulsion from the UPND has not affected his

  30. political career in anyway but instead it has made him stronger.
    Panji claimed that he is not sleeking employment from the PF but that he was just helping Michael Sata to win this year’s elections. He said Sata is the most popular candidate this year.
    He said that he has decided to support the PF because the party has become stronger than before adding that it has a lot of support from many Zambians.
    On the revelations by vice president George Kunda that he is bankrupt, Panji charged that the statement was just a political stunt.
    He said that Kunda was just trying to sway people’s minds by dragging his name in MMD’s campaign agenda.
    The launch of the PPF was attended by a handful number of Livingstone residents.
    Panji told the small gathering that the only way for a possible change…

  31. of government was through the PF.
    Panji said that people should not be cheated by MMD’s promises of development because they have failed to do so for the past 20 years they have been in power.
    So Lusaka times you got the story alright but decided to twist the details in order to bring confusion, shame on you.

  32. It is you MMD Decampaign who is thick. You think Panji will be so dull to inform you that he is seeking for a job once Satana wins!

    You re the same chaps who have been dribbled everytime.

  33. Continue hilluciating that you can remove the MMD from power. People are not blind. They have seen the development that is going on in the nation that is overwhelming for PF. This development is all over Zambia and people are seeing all the schools, hospitals, roads, railways, business parks, etc. that are springing up everywhere.

    People are happy with this development and will give the MMD another mandate. This year, MMD is winning with a landslide victory.

    MMD….NAFUTI NAFUTI

  34. #43 Kambombo Look here my country man/woman, am not alluding to the fact that Panji is asking for a job or not. All i have done is to counter the distorted facts presented by this MMD contaminated mouth piece by coping from other credible media institutions that’s all. If you are a MMD supporter and the facts presented here have caused you pain then am sorry because i don’t have the remedy for your sufferings. By the way if Panji seeks to be employed by PF, UPND or even MMD that’s not my concern and it will never give me sleepless nights like it is bothering you people basking in denial who believe in the half a loaf theory. get a life!

  35. My mother just informed me that, Panji was embarrassed in Livingstone as he was trying to lauch his pact where only street kids attended and it even looked like a funeral gathering. Honestly, Panji who told you that all the people in Zambia want or in the opposition wanted Sata to be presidential candidate? Sata is the last person many people would want to have as a president of Zambia because of his past record which is so questionable. It is not in many zambians to remove Rupiah and replace him with a thug who is likely to divide the nation and cause violence with his thuggery caulture of the Chawama matchetes and pangas. His dictatorial tendencies of the third term where he broke the constitution just to benefit him and Chiluba while zambians were suffering.

  36. #45 still I doubt your intellectual capabilities. This is an election year my brother. No media is worth trusting. If your source is not Zedian press then I would give you a benefit of doubt, but if not then you re living in stone age era.

  37. MR Cpitalist you are the biggest lier i have ever come across on face of the earth, you mention Hospitals, Roads, schools as if there are any! 47 productive years thrown down the drain just like that, Zambia is a typical example of a failed state, a big blot on the world stage, you know what! If you don’t have anything to say just shut up!

  38. Panji should not say the MMD has failed to develop the nation in the last 20 years, but he should say Sata’s MMD failed to develop the nation for 10 years and also the MMD of Rupiah has also failed to develop the nation. This means Both Rupiah and Sata in their administration have failed to develop the nation. Actually Sata’s MMD was the one which brought more harm than good to our nation because they plundered the nation so much in their ten year rule. All failures should stay away this time for the energetic zambians to take over. Viva HH

  39. #48, it is you who should shut up because your argument is baseless. Are you really in SA, if so I bet is Soweto

  40. #39 Anold Nyambo.
    Your prayer and mine were answered in 2008 when God gave us Rupiah Banda whom he had recalled from his farm in Chipata where he was taking care of his sheep to come and take care of Zambians. It will just be confirmed this year. Sometimes I shudder to imagine the unthinkable if in 2008 this country had been taken over by someone who idolise snakes and keeps them as trophies on his working desk in office and probably home. Did you hear how twisted his tongue was when talking about homosexuality and our laws.

  41. #47 Kambombo Woe to you sons and daughters of plunders of the economy, truth pains but pays thus let it be told.

  42. On
    Former United Party for National Development official Colonel Panji Kaunda has denied allegations that he is going round the country campaigning for Patriotic Front Leader Micheal Sata
    I think that Col Panji KAUNDA has a disorder because what he says is not coherent. I hope it is not his very old age that is making him to behave the way he is doing.

    On another note, I hope Panji is covertly eating into PF’s Sata MC popularity so that HH wins the 2011 presidential elections by a landslide victory.

    Anyway, UPND under HH is ready to form GRZ Administration this year. Vote wisely and for your needs especially your children’s welfare.

  43. #53 Kambombo my brother, my heart bleeds for you, how many people are you going to argue with without facts under your belt? Any way i rest my case.

  44. #53, you pf guys cannot do without calling others tribalists, no wonder you are sinking and not going forward the way others are doing. I know you hate facts, thats why you raise with vernom whenever someone says something touching your hearts. I am not Tonga and not even close to that, just because majority of pf guys are Bemba, and you feel anyone for UPND is a Tonga. I am from the north, and I feel HH is the best for the nation period. Take it or leave it the young man is winning because many have lost confidence in these recycled politicians like Sata and Banda.

  45. # 39 that was an old prayer and now we need a current prayer. Actually prayers are usually targeted at an identified cause/need. Your prayer should have a name of proposed candidate in it otherwise its vility. Are you praying for the old to continue or you want absolute change by voting in HH. My prayer is on him. Remember its through prayer and prophecy that Jesus Put an end to the Old Testament.

  46. Col. Panji is forced to explain his twists to the nation after being shot down by many in his campaign lauch in the areas he has covered so far. Many people are telling him the truth, that they were not in the pact to asher Sata as presidential candidate but HH, and we are not here to remove Banda and replace him with the worste, all these are facts. So Panji take a rest as many zambians are now mature in politics as they know what they want, if you think they are blind you will be shocked. Panji you have now received a share of your shame for following blindly.

  47. Zambia will always be poor as long as we keep retaining the same people who have failed us to rule us and protect each other on economic plunder. Not until we put one who is neutral the results for corruption fight will never be seen. Mwanawasa could not fight it fullly because the money which was used to campaign for him was corrupt from zamtrop, Banda cannot also fight it as the people who campaigned for him like Katele etc are the same corrupt one who need protection, Sata also will not fight corruption as all those economic plunders are his friends and he was part of the team which plundered our economy, and as he promised in 2006 he will just protect them. So if we keep keeping the same people who plundered our economy we will never get anywhere.

  48. #58, now walandako ifya mano. But lets stick to RB for now and allow HH gain some governing experience by getting into Parliament.He certainly can be a good president but for lack of experience.

    Thanks for realizing that the snake is no Presidential material. Remain blessed

  49. #59 Mwansa.
    Please i beg you to leave the bible alone if you know nothing about what it says on any topic. Jesus did not put an end to the Old Testament. He did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. The same Bible says God does not change. For example the Ten Commandments are still applicable to us today. In Revelation a punishment is prescribed for anyone who takes away even an iota(the dot on letter i) from the word of God. Let us stick to what we know and we will not mislead people.

  50. HH is sending shivers in these recycled political masterminders, they know that the young man has made progress and is headed for victory, his strategy is not a match for many as his real change messege is spreading like fire. Siulapwa is a failure and he thinks HH is like him, no. RB was pleading the Southern Chiefs to advise HH to make a pact with MMD and now they are sending the cheap Siulapwa to move their agenda, honestly HH has 27 MPS, how can you withdraw from presidential race with such a huge following, I think Siupapwa must be dreaming. Sata has now has 25 MPS after the 22 left him and HH has 27, so in short HH is more popular than Sata and is second to MMD. These recycled have failed the young man as he is not cheap like the Siulapwas and James Lukukus who can be used.

  51. These recycled politicians really panicking over the young man HH, PF is using Panji Kaunda to reduce HH and MMD is using Siulapwa to do the same, Oh God the young man’s messege of real change is moving fast. HH is a principled young man who knows what he is doing, and I know the cheap politicking will not sway him at all. He is the only person to stear development in our nation and has all the leadership qualities we need. Success is what he is made of, and am sure these recycled politicians are not happy with him because once people taste the best they will never go back to recycled individuals who have failed them before.

  52. #46 capitalist, iwe chi.colour you shud learn to just shut the f#*k and enjoy your embassy money while u can, tell me 2 railway lines that the mmd has built since coming into power, tell me 5 new roads that mmd has built. You are in Canada and think you’ll can fool people about development who are in Zambia. You and your fellow thieves need a firing squad. People are dying coz of this corrupt government and u rant about development, i lost a brother in UTH due to lack of medication and stuff, i know how it feels to suffer coz of politicians who receive medical attention in SA stan. yonko!

  53. # 59 Yes, in 2008 God gave us RB “for there’s no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.” But we don’t know the one God will give us now. That’s why we nee to pray for a principled, selfless, honest, loving, caring and God fearing person.

  54. Ndate Sicaba i apluade you for that comment, however i feel that you lack the capacity to counter my assertions on certain topics because you lack the capacity to debate amicably. for the record you are the same person i corrected not so long ago for trying to lie on this blog about the percentages,so don’t even start with me. you guys just enjoy your meager salaries at the mercy of your slave masters. for your information, i don’t earn a salary i pay them(Salaries)

  55. #69 You re too proud for nothing. You dont need to tell the world that you an employer. You re the same chaps who pay peanuts to employees

  56. #69 Chomba my brother i hear you loud and clear . However, some people who use their kidneys to think on this blog, think that this is a perfect platform to pick up fights with people they don’t know and can’t see, which is totally wrong. Am not against anyone who wishes to critcise, rebuke or even correct as long as that person does does so with humility and civility.

  57. I pity people who are fantasizing that sata will win these elections.Sata is so easy to beat.Mwanawasa wacked him twice,RB licked him in 2008 and he is Religiously waiting for a pack away for good this year.

  58. Panji this, Panji tht….now u r realising his motive in his pipo forum,watever he calls it. pipo who are brok and desparate for power can do anything.dont expect Panji to tel u tht he is looking for a job,even the dullest person can not admit tht.but we all knw wat is making him a vuvuzela in the Post.credibility is all we ask for from thoz who seek public office and Panji and his minions dont hav even a bit of it.if he has failed to make wealth for his family,wat makes him think he deliver on a big stage…wat a shame.

  59. Zambia A Failed State !! What?

    Let’s not meander and believe in our lies. We should take time to read the Government Gazette, which is counter checked by all Opposition Parties. Zambia is not a Failed State [FS]. Unless if we do not know the meaning of a FS.

  60. #71, MMD De campaigner you have been very polite, I like that but rather change your name or you will be the one using kidney to think and fight with MMD supporters.

    Many thanks for your wisdom

  61. We Zambians should stop this docility with immediate effect. Lets demand what is good for our children and childrens children. These babyboomers in power now enjoyed free education, good medical care and a great economy. Not untill we ( the people) take control of our own destiny and demand what we want, these parasites ( politicians ) will continue milking our treasury for a privileged few endangering posterity.

  62. The government has made in roads

    GRZ is contracting 40,000 Km of roads nationwide, which are pinnacle to National Development
    87 New Bridges have been built
    Just in 2009, 2,543 New Classrooms were constructed
    11 New Trades Training Institute to be built
    4,050 classrooms built after MTEF [Medium Term Expenditure Framwork]
    Trade Surplus in the last 24 months
    3,600 Doctors have been recruited
    Bumper Harvest in the last 2 seasons

  63. The government has made in roads

    Zambia recorded over $7bn in 2010 Exports, $4.3Bn in 2009,
    Zambia is about to issue its first Foreign Bond issue to raise $500m
    International investors coming from USA, Europe, Middle East, South America, Asia & African nations
    Building District Hospitals ( Plus Mobile Hospitals that can reach remote places )
    We have Freedom of Speech
    Zambia is peaceful nation, which welcomes people from all nations to come as Tourist

    I can go on and on…..

  64. I ask any of you people to ask for a copy of a Government Gazette from parliament. Else, ask your respective PF & UPND Members of Parliament to give you a copy

  65. You have said it all Independent Observer,Let those who have ears hear, those with eyes read, those who never went to school expect money in their pockets 90 days after loosing elections.

    VIVA RB &MMD

  66. 69# MMD DECAMPAGIN 2011

    You have just confirmed that you are patient that belongs to a mental institute. How can a human being think using a Kidney? Which school did you go to?

  67. I’ve just seen pictures of this launch on facebook.there are more comments on this thread than the people who actually attended the Launch!

  68. Mushota,hw can u announce on the blogg without first telling me the one responsible….lol. u r so swit in bed my luv.

  69. wow! It is so good to hear how bloggers are busy insulting other bloggers who they dont know. God has heard our cries already and he has chosen already a perfect leader after RB this year. My brothers and sisters don’t worry because real change is close at hand. Real Change and not just change! HH represents change that we all need. Continue Mr HH with the message of change because people have now realised that we need new and fresh brains in govt.

  70. #71 MMD Campaign2011.
    I apologise for my offensive language to you. I was responding to your post on 48 which I believe is wild. To say we have no roads, schools and hospitals, that we are a failed state I think you must be on a different planet where Zambia is the equivalent of Somalia. On percentages I still stand by my posting that Sata will not improve from 10%, 5% & 4% he got from WP, SP & NWP while RB will get 30% from SP up from 21% and maintain his popularity in WP & NWP of 68% and 64% if not increase it. By the way my salary is meagre but I am still able to see what my govt is doing where they still need to improve. It is no reason for me to vote for political jokers like Sata.

  71. For those on this thread that have compared Zambia to a Failed State, herewith are some countries that are Failed States ruled by Tyranny, Oppression, Cruelty and Totalitarians?

    Zambia is not even close to be called a Failed State

  72. 77 & 78 (independent observer) I salute you!
    Dear bloggers,Ba LT has give us this opportunity as Zambians at home and in the diaspora to express our views and not trade insults.Each one of course is entitled to his or her opinion but don’t just write for the sake of it.
    Fellow Zambians take a leaf from the independent observer.Please give us facts.
    Any idea how i can get online the Govt. gazette?
    Regards

  73. I have been on this forum on facebook and i can report contrary to What Panji is saying about going round asking people they are all PF cadres and they admit it…
    There is not point in trying to hide this fact… they are not talking up anyone else apart from Sata so i dont see how they think they are actually asking the people… to make matters worse how can it work out when all the members actually have affiliation to 1 single party and you call it peoples pact.

    Actually if you aint PF they are more than happy to talk you through on how to leave the group

    • i want to disagree with you, the membership of this People’s Pact forum does not only comprise of only PF members because there are many other members who are not PF, for example, Im a UPND memder,but Im also member of this forum and I believe strongly that with the collapse of the UPND/PF pact which seemed to have been offering the people some kind of hope, a movement like this one is important in bringing the people together regardless of political affilliation or tribe so that they can vote with a common purpose to deliver the real change the people are aspiring for. it is not right to choot this noble cause down simply because to dont like the person promoting it.

  74. Ba Panji, we should have called it the “Our Pact”, because even the MMD are also people, they are just ugly that is why we think of them otherwise.

  75. Truth be told …
    Zambia is not a failed state.
    Zambia deserves to be much better than it is today.
    Zambia is lacking a SMART development policy to get it where it should be.
    PF, HH and the other opposition parties are too fragmented to offer alternative leadership.
    Some people insult others just for the fun of it.

    Mushota, you’re not pregnant.

  76. (85) JOJO (JM) & (90) RED SQUARE
    I am with you. I also appreciate INDEPENDENT OBSERVER comments. He blogs with facts, intellect and does his homework before throwing remarks on LT. He stance is to be progressive and not wallow ourselves with insults. We should all have the same agenda to better Zambia, give credit where its due and positive criticisms at the same time. God Bless Zambia

  77. panji is confused he cant remember that his father stood against a frog where was he to advice the old man,now he comes as the all knowing.RB has formed the packed with the people not wat that tired soldier is saying.For the UPND,support RB,u know deeo down yiur hearts that u cant make it this year.come 2016,HH will make it.So 2011-2016 RB Nafuti nafuti.BA PF bafipe you will never this rule this country .woooo ba homo

  78. President Banda’s thieving son and corrupt drunkards who run Zambia’ State House.
    This is an article in the “Zambian Watchdog”. Take time to read it.

  79. I CALL PANJI A ‘STRATEGIST’……TYPICAL OF HIS FATHER WHO WON OUR INDEPENDENCE WITHOUT USING A SINGLE BULLET, BUT WORDS AND STONES………
    PANJI, WE ARE TOGETHER IN THIS THING UNTIL MMD IS OUT OF POWER…..SO CONTINUE THIS STRUNGLE……THEIR OWN CLOCK IS SLOWLY, BUT SURELY TICKING THEM INTO THE OPPOSITION……TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK………ABALEYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  80. pipo of God!!!Mr panji mighty be rite in some ways.that is if he is sure the PACT still exists.if it do not exist then he is day dreaming,i mourn for the PACT.

  81. Ba Panji anyway try your number maybe u will be a politician by forming your own party or by joining your fellow old men but remember Ba Rupiah is your uncle which makes us feel your surport for Ba Sata might be fake instead just trying to enrolled him

  82. Panji Kaunda is a Zambian just like the likes of Lifwekelo and Cifire, he therefore has the right to express his political opinions as well as form or join any lawfull organisation of his choice. he has formed what he calss people’s pact forum movement, it is his right and you have the choice to support it or not to but you have no right to stop him or other people from supporting this movement. I personally i feel it is a good thing following the collapse of the UPND/PF pact which was giving the people of zambia some hope, it is important that the people are given another opportunity for them to vote with a common purpose in order to deliver change that every genuine zambians is aspiring for. however i understand the panic that a movement like this one causes among the nnd and their…

  83. MMD is heading for victory in this years election. Just take a moment and listen to SATA’s campaign speech. The man has nothing to show and convince Zambians what he is going to do. RB has achieved a lot in just a short period. SATA has now resorted to use the Post Newspaper to try and win sympathy from Zambian people. He has nothing wrong to point at RB government. MMD has achieved and we need to give RB another mandate. I would be happy if RB will work on road infrastructure when he assumes another mandate this year (a must of course). Look at investment he has brought in this country. Of course other critics will say such projects were started by Mwanawasa. But Mwanawasa was MMD and RB is till MMD. So really credit should go to MMD and the one in the driving seat who is in this case…

  84. Until we get a real opposition, until we can have a real option that makes sence, Banda is unfortunately, the only one that can still keep Zambia’s heart barely beating….the rest are clowns or just promissing leaders.

  85. Thumbs up to col Panji!! he is not that foolish to admit that UPND will win the forth coming elections alone.what most people don’t understand especially those that have never been to Eastern province is the influence that KK and his sons still commands in the province.

  86. A hate of the Kaunda name by some bloggers clearly shows how Zambians will never appreciate something sensible. Panji has rights like any ZAMBIAN why subject him to be like an alien? We are all ONE Zambians and should learn to tolerate and love one another.

    This is NOT ABOUT SATA Vs RB, both of them are OLD FOX??? The Issue here is about we the Younger Generation. We have to change our Country for the Better than Live in Foreign Land??

    Our country needs a full leadership overhaul: Public services and a lot of things are going backward. Corruption is at its Pick.

    STOP YOUR INSENSIBLE COMMENTS AND THINK about the FUTURE of Zambia?? There is nothing sweet than your own HOME (COUNTRY) ONE ZAMBIA, ONE NATION, ONE PEOPLE

  87. “After the collapse of the PACT,we thought we should go to the people themselves to find out which candidate people themselves want based on the popularity since their leaders have failed to agree ..so that was how we formed this coalition”, Col Kaunda said after the launch of the movement in Livingstone on Saturday.
    Isn’t that exactly what General elections are for? To be any profession you need training, but to be a politician, you just have to be a fool. If it runs in the family you are lucky.

  89. #89 Ndate Sicaba Apology accepted, going by your flag i take you are in Kuwait and that makes you one of Zambia’s valuable exports. My assertions still stands that though the government claim to be building roads and other infrastuctures, the question that still remains to be asked is who is benefitting from these claims because? People want to see vivid results and not mare claims, if you tell me about eastern province then i would agree with you because Easter province is a hive of activity as i speak, Am from North western province and i haven’t seen any pupported development anywhere save for Mwanawasa’s mining projects in Solwezi and Lumwana.

  90. JOJO Thanks for the name but should you be looking for a job once they fire you or deport you, just call on me i will be more than happy to offer you something to keep you going, but that comes on condition that you behave yourself.

  91. In North Western Province, The government has made in roads. Lets all keep an open eye on what is happening on the ground and not just stick with negative vibes

    1. Kalumbila Mine is about to be commissioned which will make North Western Province to be the Largest Copper Producer in Zambia

    2. $125 Million from Saudi Arabia will be invested into Pineapple Plantation and Drink Processing Industries for local and international exports. This will have a major economical boots to all small scales business in the area. RB lured this project after making a trip to Saudi Arabia last year.

    3. K11 Billion has been allocated to upgrade Solwezi General Hospital

    cont…

  92. 4. Schools are being upgraded and new one are being constructed in N/Western

    5. All Districts in North Western Province have been allocated Billions of Kwacha’s to redevelop and expand the Health Centre.
    6. ZCCM will put up a modern Shopping Mall in Solwezi

    7. Road Constructions are underway which are instrumental to trasportation and development

    8. Egyptians will also invest in North Western Province into Cotton & Food Production as part of the US $5 Billion Dollar to be invested from the 30 Team that visited Zamabia.

    9. And many more….

  93. All the mentioned are large projects, which take time to come to pass. We must not believe into the “90 Day Miracle Wonders” from those in the other side.

    The developemnts cannot just pop up overnight. RB has managed secure these developemnt programs in 2 years compared to the 27 years by Kaunda and 10 by Chiluba & Sata – did for Western Province

  94. MMD CAMPAIN2011. Any comment on what Independent Observer has tabulated above as activity taking place North Western Province?

  95. The truth is that the PF/UPND pact was conceived on the strength of a combined membership. The plot was to use UPND as a HORSE and Sata alone as RIDER to get the Republican Presidency. HH and other senior members of PF were to be rendered irrelevant after the 2011 elections. This assertion is based on PF’s failure to hold a Convention for fear of a democratic process that could eliminate Sata and usher-in youthful leaders (Machungwa & Co). Panji’s wish for a pact with PF has no merit because he has no followers to add value to Sata’s dream. Panji’s aim is merely to frustrate RB who is being supported by Chiluba whose regime is perceived to have assassinated Wezi. Yet Sata was the Chief Plotter of most evils during Chiluba’s 3rd Term bid. Panji is mentally sick.

  96. Ladies and gentlemen, learned men and women of mother Zambia, I enjoy reading your political analysis, but at times, I am left to wonder. How can you support a person who says the objective of forming the People’s Pact is to REMOVE MMD. We’re not fighting for independence. Someone has to tell Col. As for ba Sata, some of the people (may be the majority) don’t realize that he has been a politician even before they were born what change are they expecting. Remember at one point Sata was a minister without portfolio – This privileged position made him a co-president with Chiluba. Sata trained Chiluba to be what he eventually became. Zambians must look for leaders, “Servant Leaders” who will lead the nation to the prosperity most needed. Change for its sake is ridiculous!
