PATRIOTIC Front (PF) Secretary-General Wynter Kabimba has advised former president Rupiah Banda against misleading the international community on economic achievements allegedly scored by his administration.
Mr Kabimba feels that the former government “greatly mismanaged the country” adding that Mr Banda should not attempt to ‘white wash’ the MMD administration and himself.
He was speaking in an interview yesterday following Mr. Banda’s revelation that he is still shocked at the fact that Zambians denied him another mandate to govern “despite the various achievements” his administration supposedly scored.
The former President still could not believe that President Michael Sata was chosen over him last September in a lecture he delivered to students as a visiting associate lecturer at Boston University’s African President’s Resident Centre.
But Mr Kabimba said Mr Banda should come to terms with the humiliating defeat and move on.
“Let Mr Banda get back to reality. You cannot be in a state of shock for six months because you are likely to slide into a coma,” Mr Kabimba said. “The reality is that the PF have been given the mandate to govern the nation and we (PF government) will deliver according to people’s expectations.”
He said the former President is trying to ‘clean’ the image of his administration, which he knew was highly corrupt and that his administration failed to deliver development to ordinary Zambians.
He observed that the much preached about 6.5 percent gross domestic product (GDP) growth of the economy achieved by the MMD government did not benefit many Zambians.
“It was growth that benefited a few politicians. It benefited Mr Banda himself and a few of his colleagues while the majority of Zambians remained poor and grew poorer everyday,” he said.
Mr Kabimba said Zambians liberated themselves from Mr Banda’s administration because of the syndrome of corruption. He said the MMD government was “tainted with high levels of corruption”.
Mr Kabimba alleged that Mr Banda’s fight against corruption was hypocritical, adding that the vice was being perpetrated by people close to him.
“So let him not mislead people in Boston about the things which his administration did not do,” Mr Kabimba said.
He said the road projects that were embarked upon prior to the general elections are shoddy and were marred with corruption.
“The hospitals that were constructed had no personnel and equipment. Mr Banda’s regime duped Zambians and they (Government) lived off the Zambian people,” he said.
Mr Kabimba explained that the MMD administration failed to deliver a people-driven constitution despite spending billions of Kwacha on the National Constitutional Conference (NCC).
He alleged that the former regime wanted to amend the Constitution to serve the interests of a few individuals.
“We would have ended up with a Constitution without the legitimacy from the people,” he said.
[Zambia Daily Mail]
Rubbish you are not telling us anything sensible. We want more money in people’s pockets.
He yaps like Dora Siliya and he will be the Achilles’ Heel of PF, this Kamimbya
Delele Mulembwe,you’re so funny- you cracked me up… .Ati this Kamimbya…long time I heard that word….I like that sense of humor!!!!
FACT
We are tired of your rhetoric. Just get down to work. Where is the ERB COI report?
hahahaha…. i hope this is Easter Joke
Please stop nitpicking over the past and start governing the country, if you don’t start soon Zambia will slide into a coma. Stop yacking and start delivering!!
Stop making noise iwe Ka kabimba,you people who have parents from Congo and Luapula province you are just talkative ,just get to work and start your own (new) projects not what MMD left.People want to see development,not accusations,because you good at accusing people!!!!!!!
Instead of talking about RB he should be telling us where Ukwa is. He is right when he says the MMD mismanaged the country -that is the MMD that Ukwa was part of for 10 years. After Ukwa left the MMD under LPM and RB did wonders for the Zambian economy and Winter’s rhetoric can not take away the achievements of these two great men. Has anybody seen Ukwa lately?
Iwe ka Mr Masebo the country is right now going to the drain because of you liars ba Pa Fwaka,people are crying for RB they know they were cheated,they are regreting for voting a terminally ill man ,visionless,tribalist,corrupt and arrogant *****s.Tell us about how you came about award the tender to Appollo Enterprise to renovate state house.Crooks are running the country Nchito,M’meembe etc.Just shutup you ka Mr Masebo and deliver on your lies.
These guyz are stil campaigning,he z talking of a constitution which they said they wil draft within 30 days but there z stil no show. Pliz kabimba stop toking about da opposition nd divert yo energy 2 developmental issues,u hav da mandate now!
you can call kabimba and sata all sorts of names, you can moan and groan till the sun comes up, you can whinge and whinge until you are blue in your faces, the fact is PF is in power and will be for the next 5 years. just give them a chance to rule until when the voting Zambians decides to remove them. yes they maybe not sharp enough but just give them achance to fine tune. There is not a single political party that is perfect. Mistakes will be made, but lets wait for the final product after a term is over.
Yes, we shall for their poor finishing. We are in for it but what can we do? I am waiting patiently! Altho, i wld luv for them to just act instead of these campaign like speeches. Plz tell them that they are in power, no need to get overboard with the past.
Of course mistakes can be made by anyone but Kawimba should concentrate on running the country and than disparaging RB. RB was simply sharing his experience as President and there is nothing that RB said warranting the Kawimba attacks on former head of state. How does Kawimba belittle the economic growth under the MMD?
If you think people’s mourning and groaning can’t achieve anything; I ask you think twice. Don’t be too comfortable, there is someone who hears the cries of His people.
We have given them a chance — and all they have done is cry over spilt milk, destroy the opposition and people’s expectation.
They have won, and I know that, you know that … I don’t think THEY know that. Someone needs to tell them that when you come into power, you inherit the good as well as the bad. They need to grow up and run the country. How long will they blame MMD? Keeping in mind that all of PF was once MMD, they are as much a part of the problem as their accused.
Chance. Here is the chance and this is what they decide to do with it.
Uh….. It’s only the next four and a half years now, but who’s counting?
Good evening
He would not be living in a state of shock if he had been humble enough to read the indicator of the public views before elections. Brooding over lost elections is not the solution. The solution is to accept defeat and focus on your new role in society.
You will never hear George Bush lamenting about why Americans chose Obama and denied him another term to rule despite the achievements of his government.
“Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied.” Otto von Bismarck.
Nine Chale, thank you for bashing RB but it is still his democratic right to speak what is on his mind, unlike Bush who actually served his 2 terms and was not subject of a re-election. Mind you, he was president and like any president, it was difficult to read the things on the ground, especially that it was a close election. Sometimes we defend Sata as though he got a landslide victory. He actually got less than 50% of the votes cast
And does Obama go on about the mistakes that Bush made whilst in power. Plz educate us. We are tired of hearing what the past govt did, men you are the ones in power…move on SHA!
George Bush ruled 2 terms and could not have ruled again, as per constitution!
I see an African mind that thinks a president lasts forever!
Sick
Thanks
winter come out of the campaign mode. get into the delivering your promises mode. surely, there is no need to reply to whatever RB is saying! we voted you to work not to be following RB around. even when he coughs, u respond. No!
This is a good one, as much as they think RB cannot believe he lost for now 6 months even them PF are still in the opposition mode we can’t see their promised performance (man of action) up to now. This party maybe another regime to rule one term only like RB!!! At the moment no one is happy; the kaponyas, the civil servants, the youths, Lozis, Tongas, NWP and the WHOLE nation feel cheated!!! Money in the pockets…lol
Iwe Kamimbya you sound like a male version of Dora Siliya each time you talk. Mind your own tenure and produce results. We already know the past give us the present and the future!! Tired of vuvuzeling!!!!
Walya iwe!!!
It’s interesting to see how bitter people are with the pf govt, its like even if the pf does something good, it won’t be noticed because pipo are just sad. Why can’t we start adjusting and see anything good, I strongly believe that if you want to see the bad side of a person, you will definitely find it and you will NEVER see anything good because you are always negative minded. Its our govt whether we like it or not, so just support it, all the best fellow Zambians.
No disrespect,
please show me what good there is in Kabimba’s statement above.
Thank you.
Its interesting to be a spectator but if you you asked to perform the dance yourself! Bwafya
Useless words coming out of a nice wide mouth! Yesterday the finance minister told us that PF will go by MMDs development plan to excute programs. It is your false assurances that decieved people and ende up voting wrongly.
Kaluzi, are you serious????? Where you in Zambia when PF was in opposition and how they talked and campaigned for 10 years and criticised everything, including independence day celebrations????
Ba winter don’t wasting time and leave RB alone and tell zambins what your plans are….
NAKATINDI WINA IS NO MORE. MHSRIP
# 14 it is called politics. no political party sticks to its promises. Obama promised to close Quantanamo bay but he has not. so lets just give PF a chance. Nine Chale Obama never defeated Bush, it was John Mcain
Is this man still campaigning or what???? Come Winter, get down to business and deliver as you promised.
Kabimba again? Yaaaaaaaawn…………………………………………………………………………………
Love him or hate him Ba Wynter Kabimba is the PATRIOTIC Front Secretary-General doing his bit for the party; beating the drum.
If you do not know the role and responsibilities of a SG please save your insults and go take a walk.
What is the role of the Govt Spokesperson as opposed to that of the party vuvuzela???
I understand now, to aimlessly follow the opposition and hurl baseless accusations, demonising everyone by lionising themselves, all the while making a fo.ol of yourself.
Makes sense.
Ati “go take a walk” I love that one!
Didnt Kabimba mismanage Lusaka city council in the 90’s?He and Sata cant judge anyone.We are watching with keen interest.Banda in my independent view had a fairly good job as standin president.Lets be fair.I am not his fan but he did a decent job as head of state.Kabimba and co must know that they are govt. not opposition.Zambians r waiting for delivery on election promises.Mind you our president is an old man when life is so short!GOD BLESS ZAMBIA.
Summer Kabimba, you are a circus clown. It’s always best when you keep your trap shut.
You have not been voted for to continue a crazy rebutt of anything and everything RB says, you are even proving him right by exposing that you are insane and that is why anyone would be shocked that you could be voted for! Focus on your governance hell RB is not even your contender now. So far you have done much much less than RB did in his first 6 months so just shut your trap and let ABC talk about the economy – at least he is the sane one of the lot of you jokers.
This is a sad state of affairs, this is moral decay, you chaps are busy insulting elders on-line, you are not obligated to comment on every article if all that is coming out of your gobs is vulgarity; DON’T POST COMMENTS. If you have a problem with the article take your grievances to LT.
Kabimba has a problem with RB!!!!!!
# 20 , a company called Robert Hudson was run down by who? workers have never been paid up to now. The company has been closed for over ten years now. Oh it was solely owned by Rupiah Banda
Ba Winter, yes Sata won, but not overwhelmingly, PF did not win with majority, 42% Sata and 35% RB i dont think u call that humiliating? its close shave. that is why PF is trying to grab as many MMD seats through nullification of MMD seats. People celebrated not becoz they all voted NO. So MMD was voted out, work and make thinks better instead of always talking abt RB and former leader, “Look up in the sky it will soon be dawn” and it will too late for U.
You are misled. RB was very embarrassed. 7% is a large gap especially when the ECZ commissioner states “even if the MMD got the remaining votes, there still would be a gap of 30,000” now that’s something!
I am surprised that some people are only interested in insulting our leaders.PF has done a lot compared to RB’s government in the short period they have been in power so far.RB did more damage than anything else.He removed the abuse of office and spent most of his time travelling.His son is still hiding in RSA or wherever he is.What do you people want?There is no government that can develop a country within six months.Give credit where it is due.Your bitterness wont help.I hope the Engineer in Australia is not government sponsored because he talks rubbish most of the time.Grow up man and be an intellectual you are supposed to be.If you make a woman pregnant do you expect a child the same day?Stop thing like under 5 HH,he is a very bitter man!!
PF leaders envy RB’s recognition…it is killing them!!!!!
Moonga Mulanga, does amending a law on abuse mean more money in our pockets??? And this falls under the category of “a lot”?? You sound like one of those chaos who used to raise their right hand at anything Hitler “Heil Hilter!” Im sure you are short of saying “Hallelujah Sata!”
Moonga Mulanga, that law was amended at the end of the term but it still remains in the penal code. Duplication of the law, most of the mmd guys will be charged using the one under the penal code, so what is wrong with that? What has pf done thus far?
Name one thing that they have done my dear. We need facts
These politicians of ours should be reminded that they are now in power and must govorn instead of playing politics. Leave RB alone and let him do his thing. Are you jealous?
Poor Moonga Mulanga ati “There is no government that can develop a country within six months” so in other words yo are agreeing with the rest of us that Pres. Sata is a liar, he hoodwinked Zambians to vote for him? It is not Zambians who demanded for development within 6 months, it was PF itself which promised. “Money in your pocket within 90 days”??? Anyway, we are used to U-TURNS.
It’s not hoodwinking, it’s called strategy, and it worked! If you know what hoodwinking is, ask Obama who promised a Utopia but met reality!
Six months on, Mr Banda is still in shock and can’t believe that Zambians kicked him out. What it really means is that the man is so power hungry and wanted to be president for ever despite his numerous short-comings. This is the man who has been ‘lecturing’ on democracy in America, surely a true democrat doesn’t spend sleepless nights crying after being rejected by the people. Even his own party are blaming him for the mess he has left behind.
Distant Drums, more than 55% of voters did not vote for Sata and yes, some people are wondering, especially now, how we could have believed that story of “more money in your pockets within 90 days…”
Ths man and Bob Sichinga irritate me like mosquitoes.
You can say that again!
Just yesterday Finance Minister Chikwanda was saying the PF government will adopt the 6th National Development Plan left by the MMD beacuse (seemingly) PF did not have any development framework. If MMD mismanaged the country, why is PF adopting the whole 6th National Development framework desined by the same party Kabimba is accusing of having destroyed the country with unworkable policies———-the same policies PF adopting?
All parties adopt plans left behind by predecessors because most policies are almost bi partisan as they go through parliament. I like Chikwanda, he seems very sober and sound and honest, I like Guy Scott too because he seems to be the logical head around. But Kabimba is a dissapointment, unfortunately, he can woo traditional voters!
Any one supporting RB is a DOG finital
You can’t use such words in a democratic nation like Zambia. You should respect divergence of views.
I think the word you’re looking for is “finito”. Either way we all have a God-given right to be ignorant, to see things as we like, to make mistakes, to be hoodwinked, to be gullible, naive, to be blind, to believe anything we hear, and to think that PF can make any meaningful change.
Iwe Bwaima, you are so foolish. I bet you are so broke this moment cos there is no money in your pockets. Maikalange has said it all. *****!
“Bwaima” you need deliverance, really. Pray for the salvation of your soul this Easter
Moonga Mulanga #25, when you say people has done alot, your next line should list examples of whagt your PF government has achieved. I guess including maintaining stability of the Kwacha.
Moonga Mulanga #25, when you say PF has done alot, your next line should list examples of whagt your PF government has achieved. I guess including maintaining stability of the Kwacha.
#33 You should also have mentioned the fact that pf has managed to bring unity amongst the various ethnic groups that make up Zambia! By the way where is Ukwa? If he does not make an appearance at St Ignatius this Sunday then we will all know that something is definitely wrong…
Look at Ala Bee, look at him there he is in the Boston, USA telling lies and drivel to his those American chaps, Banda don’t take your hosts for fools, they are just as informed as the next man in Zambia and they are probably just studying you and are laughing at you behind your back.
If I was Mr Banda I would be talking about unity and the way forward for our beautiful country and our continent.
But since you are Maxwell you talk instead about your hatred for RB and the MMD rather than about unity and the way forward for our beautiful country and our continent?
Makes sense to me.
This Maxwell thing Hates RB, Is he in government now or works for the post
@ 40.1
If I was the former President of my beautiful country Zambia, I would talking about unity and the road map to prosperity for this great nation. You will never see a former American President or former British PM publicly trash the ruling administration on foreign soil. A former Prsident is a Statesman he talks about the future of the country not about the next election.
@#9, Nine Chale,
Get your facts straight. It is called “telling the truth”. George Bush ruled for two four-year terms. That is the constitutional limit. He did not run against Obama (Mcain did).
@35 you can change alias a thousand times but your empty head gives you away. Please just change back to your original name!
Nine Chale# 9, you are really out of touch, typical of PF cadres. Gearge W. Bush never contested against President Obama.
KABIMBA ULIMBWA WAUMFWA. CAN SATA GIVE THIS THING A JOB, HE SEEMS NOT TOKNOW WHAT HE MUST DO. DONT EMBARRASE ZAMBIA INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU RAE A FOOL. CHIKALA CHOBE .
No.8 Roger Ramjet
Who is preventing them from fulfilling their promises? Is it not him who is still campaigning? He is the one wasting his time. You think 5 years is a long time?
Mr kabimba and the pf are just frustrated because they thought Rb would be isolated,but there he is the man is in america representing zambia.
My appeal to Zambians is to stop buying this mantra from Kawimba and lets demand development plans by PF govt. Yes RB may have had his weakneses being addressed by PF govt and the new in coming leadership of MMD. However, development registered at 6.5% economi growth is not a mean achievement. Remember PF economic growth will soon be known and will be IMPOSSIBLE to attain even 2% growth. Reason because PF govt is without any economic plan oragenda as adimited by Mr Chikwanda recently. This will back fire on rantings of Kawimbe and his uncle Mr Sata.
Kabimba thrives in his world of deception. We pity PF cadres that have been fed noxious lies. His assertion that RB is misinforming the international community stems from utter shame for his PF’s failure to deliver. People who have accessed RB’s inaugural lecture will attest to the fact that the President clearly presented authentic facts – including aspects of self-criticism. RB’s full lecture can be accessed on website {http://www.lusakatimes.com/2012/04/04/rupiah-banda-defends-democracy-inaugural-lecture-eighth-presidentinresidence-boston-universitys-african-presidential-center/}. RB’s lecture has been published in full in Daily Nation Vol. 2 issue 151 dated 5th April 2012. RB upheld MMD’s integrity in high steem. Kabimba is a frightened ass.
shut up iwe ka sakala. as your government is making sense…
In my haste to comment on the issue at hand, I obviously overlooked the fact that George Bush did not contest against Obama. Nevertheless, I recall Mc Cain equally taking his defeat without any hard feelings against Obama.
Having accepted my error, I still stand upon the notion that it is better for an outgoing leader to bow out quietly and decently rather that to slam the door bitterly on his way out the way RB is presently doing.

Happy Easter weekend everyone!
silly boy
Nine Chale, please, just keep your quotations to yourself as the more you talk the less we hold you in high esteem as you have previously been more objective than you are sounding right now
Winter, RB seems to haunt you big time,maybe you know something we dont know, is he bouncing back,or did he perform better than ukwa ?
munyono ba summer leave RB alone ah-ah let him enjoy.
Which Govt has given 15% salary increment and doubled the taxfree allowance from K1m to K2m in the past to civil servants? I worked for the govt, councils and a parastatal so I should know. Unfortunately I am not a beneficiary because I retired a long time ago.
Kabimba, I am very disappointed with you. I doesn’t matter how wide your mouth opens, Zambians have realized that they were cheated last year and wrongly voted for PF. I would advise you to take a deep reflection on the RB’s lecture and learn something. You may not agree on everything but if you are sincere there are a lot of lessons for you.
If you you dont want to hear anything from anyone in the MMD, sit down and learn from Finance Minister Chikwanda, he is the only sensible leader I have seen in the PF. Take it or leave it, the more you rubbish the MMD’s achievements the more useless you become.
Its true that nation still has a lot of challenges but the MMD laid a strong foundation, apparently you are now destroying it.
Ala Bee should not take people for fools. The people listening to his lectures are not *****s. They and we all know that what is keeping Zambias economy in positive outlook is the high demand and hence price of copper, not some m#^%&#F******r called Rupiah Banda. It is even sadder that he still thinks the Zambian people owe him something. This man did not have a plan for his life before the presidency was thrust in his direction.
If I were him, I would be humble and not take any credit for anything beyond the simple truth that he was merely a CARETAKER president who took over after the death of Mwanawasa. That way, people will continue to respect him. Right now, he is painting himself with the colour of the sterotypical dictator that people paint all African leaders with.
Kabimba can rant as much as he wants but if we dont see Ukwa soon then it will be up to the electorate to decide whether or not this Bemba dominated hegemony has performed better than RB in the short time it has been in power. Kabimba it is not RB you should be worrying about, you should be worrying about whether or not Satan will be seen walking on his two legs any time soon.
Doesn’t PF get tired with their “it was Jones’ fault” rethoric? We voted for you deadwoods for a reason, and this isn’t it! Wynter is just so jealous that RB was recognised by an institution of reputable higher learning. Now he thinks there is Copperbelt, kaponyas and jerabos in the USA who have time to listen to his verbal diareah. Get over it! If it makes you feel any better, I hear that your boss has a place to lecture at Chainama after his term. Now get over it & do what we voted you into office for!!! Fikala!
Shock here means ‘SURPRISED’. So I don’t understand why this Kabimba should be so vexed. And please do something to show for your stay in power. So far, none of the promises have been met.
Those above, posting about US Ex-President! George Bush may not critize Obama openly but he does it through GOP machinery such as using Karl Rove. Just like Bill Clinton uses Paul Bagala & James Caville to shoot down the the Republicans to protect Obama.
I worked for Elizabeth Murdoch on a project, daughter to Rupert Murdoch when she set up a London Fund Raising Base for Barak Obama in 2008. As a team, we met every friday evening to strategise and target city millionairs. Since then, I have learnt and seen info that US ex-president don’t retire but just continue playing dirty tricks behind the scene. Bush is still working behind to ensure Obama looses.
My friend, am impressed that well informed people like you still exist. To an extent, Sata has been very careful not to name Banda in any criticism. It’s quite evident that most republicans have lost the fuel to unseat Obama because most of his accomplishments have been those that a republican president can be proud of such as getting Bin Laden, toughening the Afghan front and the like. And Romney doesn’t provide a clear distinction because for all Obama’s failures, GOP are equally to blame. And Romney has used ‘Obamacare’ in Massachusettes!
tHE DOG HAS STARTED TO BARK AGAIN. WHAT HAS UKWA NETOLE LIMO DONE SO FAR.
Further more, McCain is behind the hardcore GOP Machinery trying to shoot down Obama by using all sorts of dirty drinks. He said it in the Senate just a month after Obama was in office that his primmary job was to kick out Obama from office showing his frustration. And the main stream media attacked him. So the thought that John McCain lost without ill feeling is not correct.
He used Sarah Palin as a dirty attack dog to make racial slurs during the campaigns against Obama when he realised he was loosing. He is still doing via FOX News.
MrKabimba pliz close that big mouth. It serves no purpose apart from the very use of filling ur stomach. You open it to pliz ur fellow kaponyas. Does a mere mention of rb give u butterflies in ur stomach . Leave him alone, u liars. Atleast he never cheated us
The bottom line is that PF & Fred “False Prophet” Mmembe want to isolate RB like the way Chiluba was confined to his Kabulonga Joint. RB was a diplomat in USA,Egypt etc and over the time made friends and connections.
This sounds like a patient insulting a doctor giving him a life support system. PF is running of MMD Policies or support system.
Kabimba needs to visit India as well…
Mr Kabimba, the best way to fight MMD is to fulfill the promises that PF made to the people not down-playing MMD successes. PF is almost clocking half a year in office but we can`t see anything not even a signal that we are headed in the right direction. It will be wrong to say that people voted Mr Sata because Mr Banda was a bad President. PF lied its way into power. Majority of the electorates are shallow minded hence bought in to the lie of the 90 day theory. You must be ashamed of yourselves. Mr Banda, lost not because he was bad but because MMD had stayed in power way too long and became smug and self-satisfied. Had Mr Banda stood on UPND ticket, he probably could have maintained his Presidency. If you aspire to be a leader, do not insult people. Just do your work and let people judge
Nine Chale has always has a soft spot for PF even when they make a lot of mistakes. RB’s administration may have been corrupt, but give credit that the man did a lot for Zambia in the 3 yrs he ruled as president. PF is still working on his projects while it is daily naming institutions, changing district and provincial blundering and reschulling ministers and other PF cadres and going to India for private officicial health tourism.
MAFIMAFI EKA EKA, LEAVE RB OUT OF TRASH AND GET TO WORK. YOU SEEM NOT TO HAVE AGENDA. TALK ABOUT YOUR LEADER WHO IS DOWN NETOLE LIMO. IF IT WAS SOME ONE IN SATAS SUTIATION YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE ANNOUNCING. MWE MWABWA MWE.
RB IS THERE BEACUSE THE WHITES HAVE IDENTIFIED WHAT HE DELIEVERED, WE KNOW YOU BA PF YOU ENJOY SEING PEOPLE SURRING. CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOU HAVE DELIVERED SO FAR. YOU HAVE FAILLED AND THAT IS WHY KAUNDA IS NOW HELPING TO TEACH YOU, MWE FIPUBA INCHITO. MAFI MAFI EKA EKA
You are an *****! Very emotional and disgruntled. Economic achievements of RB? I think you mean Mwanawasa!
Our economy was not mismanaged by MMD alone here is a list; MMD cabinet,RB family,Peter Daka family,Henry Banda crime family and our own more sensational and charismatic single mother single source Dora Siliya. family.
However PF are equally not managing our economy well hence resorting to attacking same same D [MMD] as a cover to unfulfilled promises. They are playing delaying tactics in the first 12 minutes of the first half.
why do you people leave out the Chiluba + Sata era? Is it too far gone? I loved Chiluba though and still love Sata.
@ NINE CHALE
it is sad to see how you have degenerated into a washed up simple cadre always parroting PF nonsence. among the two bwezani and cobra,who has the character and moral behaviour befiting ba head of state.you know it`s not sata bof course but you idiocy wont let you agree
pathetic fool
and wynter kabimba, we are not interested in what the MMD did or rupia is saying.please fulfill your lies,you cheated people and it`s time to stand up to the truth,economically you have mismanaged the country,politically you have torn it part socially you have turned it into a filthy place to live in
where is your pride
Matolokoshi I like your comment. Winter and his friends should just get off their butts and start honoring the promises not leaving in the past. I reckon RB and MMD are still a threat to these guys cos they still can’t seem to be settling down…….cane some one pls tell them to get down to business. The kwacha is depreciating every other day and instead of doing something about that they waste their energy talking about RB? Come on!!!
IWE CHIKALA WINTER JUST TAKE YOUR ARVs. WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR ACCUSATIONS. JUST WORK IF YOU CAN, *****.
DONT THINK WE ARE ALL GRADE 5s LIKE YOUR PRESIDENT.
Petty jealous from people without a plan for a poor country.
Debatable: RB mismanaged zambia
FACT: PF is in power and has been elected to “clean up” zambia
FACT: Crying over spilt milk will not bring the milk back.
Has no one sent PF a memo telling them that they are in power? All issues are now their problem, the kwacha, the constitution, zambian unity, the economy, security, unity, etc.
Blaming the past just makes them seem incompetent.
Kabimba’s rantings are petty and this lunatic can do a better job of vetting the facts handed to him by his illiterate boss, because PF folks simply do not provide factual information. Under Rupiah Banda’s government foreign direct investment were at a record high. This is contrary to the report we are receiving that foreign investments are at their lowest since 2005. Instead of expanding the influence of anti-Rupiah Banda ideology in the country, Kabimba and his uncle Sata should think about dwindling foreign investment. What about Barotseland, when will he and uncle honour the election promise?
this man has nothing to offer to this country.who does not know that RB plundered the resources of this nation?since we have changed govt,why cant they prove MMD wrong by working hard.the kwacha is depreciating everyday and people are living in poverty.why cant he concentrate on addressing such issues?how many times are we going remind them that their honeymoon is over?ba sata please use the experience you have been boasting about.we are tired of we your experiments.
pf get down to work,rb belongs to the past bt i gues somebody has to talk.busines as usual.to the bantustans marry frm yo enemies so u cn ve any chance of forming govt.take heed
These PF fools through Kabimba are losing direction and just running around like headless chickens. The chaps are still in a state of shock that they managed to wrestle power from MMD. BaPF kaponyas please you are no longer in opposition. You do your part and we move on. Don’t ill-talk the MMD or Banda concentrate on the promises you made to the electorates. Forget about Banda he is not part of your promises you made to the people. People want more money in their pockets. They want to see a powerful Kwacha and not one trading at K5500 to a dollar and still losing its value at a rapid rate. They want to see good hospitals and good roads and not your rotten mouth yapping yapping all over. Imbwa iwe! I end here!
The biggest problem with PF is that they do not want any opposition, they are afraid of the unknown and still think they are the opposition, they need to get their act together. The only solution to this is them getting down to work, fulfill what they promised the electorates and not issuing conflicting statements amongst themselves everyday, the judgement day is just 4.5 years away it seems a long time , but its not.
We hear too much about MMD (not to mention UPND) being bitter and needing to accept PF’s victory. Well, how about PF accepting its own victory and getting down to the business it was elected to do? As for the bitter part, reading Kabimba’s remarks (not to mention those of Maxwell and other PF supporters) I truly wonder who is the bitter one. You have four and a half years left so get busy OK – we’re waiting.
35, Tell them my brother, don’t worry about those insulting or critising you coz you are spot on!!!
people these guys lied to us..i regret voting for pf,they keep on blaming MMD instead of working,we are moving in reverse gear at a very high speed.
Winter u dont punch someone who has already fallen…. work if u can but we know ur used to opposition politics manje JOB yakunyelani ma guys! Just BEAT all the records set by MMD as at now things are sliding down!
This is coming from a man who is on the board of the newly nationalised ZAMTEL not because he has any experience or qualifications of running a telecommunications company in the 21st century but simply because he a cadre!
@Kaponya still waiting for work yet I’m very lazy.
You’ve changed to your original alias now and have topped up your talk time on your phone and you’ve returned your wife’s SIM Card you borrowed.
My friend use your little talk time wisely by making positive contributions not negative profanity and tribalistic submissions.
Winter is getting overworked and emotional over RB’s lectures at BU. The people he was talking to are not stupid…
On this one I agree with Summer Kabimba.He is justified to respond to Kwendo Munjila’s claims.However, I would appreciate if he and PF concentrate more on implementation of programmes and only less on such issues.Leave it to people to judge.@ # 81 Mbingu Wa Mtharika has said it all-you dont punch someone who has already fallen
This is time for work not campaigning! Can we get back to work Winter please
PF IS NOT GOING TO RULE ZAMBIA FOREVER THAT IS THE PRIZE OF DEMOCRACY.
THE PF PARTY HAS NOT DELIVERED JOBS BUT MERE RHETORIC, WITH EMPTY PROMISES AND IS VINDICTIVE.
WHETHER MR KABIMBA LIKES IT OR NOT PRESIDENT RB WAS PRESIDENT AND SHALL ALWAYS BE PAST PRESIDENT AND HAS DONE SOME GOOD, SO DID MWANAWASA , CHILUBA AND KAUNDA. YOU CANNOT TAKE THAT AWAY.
LET PF BEGIN TO FOCUS ON DEVELOPMENT, ECONOMIC GROWTH AND GOOD GOVERNANCE.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO REWRITE THE PAST, IT IS GONE AND THE CLOCK IS TICKING SIMPLY STATED TIME IS THE WORST ENEMY OF MAN.
You write in capital letters because you know your opinion counts less!
So rb is still president and has managed to bring the dollar from 4800 to 5400
Patriotic Fools indeed
Why does MAXWELL hate RB to the Bone, Does he/she work for the Post or is one of the Relatives employed in SATA family FOREST government
Maybe he is that one journalist I see whenever there is a picture of Sata, he works for the Post.
#86 how long did it take obama to start delivering jobs? yes RB was a president and he mismanged zambia. dont take away the fact that Kabimba is the SG of PF and that will remain in our history books
@roger ramjet, you are obviously part of winters little crack team of *****s or a family member. point of correction – the SG of PF will remain in the history books of PF party secretariat period. He is not part of the Zambian Government structure so will be a non-issue in our history. However, when PF party is gone (more likely confined to the dustbin of Zambian political history with their empty rhetoric and label as the biggest hoodwinkers of the electorate) – winters could possibly be a 15 second point of reference in a history lesson of ‘ ‘ A political catastrophe in emering economies in Africa in the 21st century!’ Coz remember PF is Sata and Sata is PF, BTW Winter who?????
The ranting of Kabimba is a clear indication that this man is a street thug, a fanatic drunk on jealous and wrong interpretations of corruption. A corrupt DPP in collusion with corrupted judges are making sure that Former ministers are being arrested and prosecuted for policy direction of the government. The ranting of kabimba shows that there is no real soul-searching in PF, no true effort to do better than the MMD. Rupiah Banda is statesman who managed the transition very well – not once but twice. Firstly when Mwanawasa died, the calm demeanour of RB ushered in a rare democratic dispensation in Africa. When global recession hit the financial markets in 2008, the MMD government showed immerse maturity. Kabimba be reminded that PF will be tested.
@Boza Vs Truth- You are either drunk or on some cheap crack, Zambia didn’t manage the transition well because your government lied to the people that Levy was still alive. Also, he created divisions in the MMD when he manipulated his way to the top. Such divisions led to the Sept 23 defeat. Rupiah Banda was athug and clearly made his personal enemies suffer. PF will be tested, but remember that Banda was weighed on the scale and was found wanting!
# 92 you can insult all you can the bottom line is PF is in power and winter kabimba will continue to speak. wether sense or nonsense you will continue to burn inside. MMD is gone so deal with that fact
JEALOUSY YA NYOKOLA…!!! MUZAFA CHE NAYO… RB DESERVES WHERE HE IS NOW AND I THINK HE IS EVEN THANKFUL THAT HE DID WHAT HE DID AFTER LOSING ELECTIONS BECAUSE THE WORLD IS HIS OYSTER NOW. Rupiah Banda is now making HONEST millions of Dollars from his lecture residence…. which Sata can only steal. You can’t put down what God has annointed. You keep talking about corruption and yet you failed to explain why Alexandar Chikwanda’s company was contracted to repair State House without following tender procedures. Mwanya – 2016 ibwela bangwele, imwe bakudya kolwe. Your dullness and incompetence will never dupe us, we have found out what type of clueless bunkums you are. Tiyeni uko navi ma-jealous vanu. Mukamwa monga njoka, kuipa pamanso fulu matuvi.
@Roger Ramjet, Clearly you and your boss Wynter are the ones who should deal with the fact that MMD and RB are gone so deal with the fact you are now mandated to DELIVER ON YOUR LIES!!! As citizens of this country we gave you the mandate to do that and not argue with retired RBs opinions, continue talking cack and kiss each other @rses all day long! Do your mentally challenged team need us to develop you job descriptions once again. Tell your boss Wynter to actually shut his trap to not draw attention to your epic failure!
@Chitapi-meno-ngwe-mutu
Ala Bee did what?? He lost the elections & stepped down, that’s what the constitution of Zambia stipulates.
For your own information dear friend that RB you are praising there nearly refused to step down if it wasn’t for the ECZ chairwoman to threaten to resign her position and external pressure from the US embassy, he would still be clinging to power. Why do you think there was a 48hr delay in announcing the results?
You don’t get $millions from these sessions no University can afford such monies, not even Harvard or Oxford Uni., you do such things not for money but to enhance your public profile & a corrupt former leader like RB needs that like a fish needs water with oxygen especially that there are on-going investigations on him.
He would have still refused had he wanted to. Do you think the US would have sent troops to attack us? No my mate. He stepped down, that is the bottom line after Sata’s narrow victory so give him a bit of credit. You and your Post newspaper, chikonko ka?
Yes, he stepped down nothing special nothing extraordinary, just like you go to relive yourself in the toilet after drinking one-two castles!!
The doodlers are now sounding an old record; we have heard this tune over and over again. We are yet to hear their plans for leading the country forward. They must get down to leading and stop talking like they are still campaigning. The clowns must get down to the business of ruling now.
HH the next president for Zambia, period!
This lost soul in the name of Winter Kabimba must concentrate on implementing what his party promised the people of Zambia. Where possible learn to keep quite. Kabimba you are too small to quench all the fires that are burning around. Your party won 42% the ruling pary won 35% which is not bad considering that they have been in Govt. for 20 years. Count your victory after 2016 elections people will not eat your criticizing of things that matter little to your Kaponya electorate. Careful Kaponyas are watching your perfomance, come 2016 you will be screeming your way out.
@ MAXWELL
Sumina fye noko ear ring ku kanyooh,you don`t know what RB did,we are all living in zambia so we know who you are and why you are in denial about RB`s achievements,keep on towing bashikulu`s line before tabalatampa ukupolomia preasure nga yakula.ubufi nabutampa uku bwela pa last because of panicking to show results kulakongola na change $50m,what can it develop,anyway to crown it all,RB does not need to be recognised by blacks like you maxwell and wynter kabimba because you blacks are jelous and myopic,so let him deal with whites who appreciate,meanwhile you fooools must remain envious,remain stupid.
NEXT PRESIDENT FOR ZAMBIA NI HH,nankwe tumwesheko.eko wasulile ekopa noko,we have tried the uneducated let`s go back to the educated
Kabimba should censor his own words before he speaks. His finance minister admitted to be implementing the 6th National Development Plan that MMD put in place and here he comes and trashes whatever MMD did when shall we wake up from our 1964 independence slumber mwe bantu? Each government that comes in leaves behind something the next government takes on and completes or betters. That is surely campaign language. Kabimba, you guys are in power, you stopped campaigning after you won the elections. Don’t start again as though the elections are coming this September. Govern the country intelligently, please mwe bantu!
hey, where is hon fackson shamenda? I hear the youths in ndola wanted to beat him…
My humble contribution to this thread after a long absence from the blog is simply, leave the PF alone and judge them in 2016. Those of us who overwhelmingly supported and and voted the PF into power had a covernant with them. Weed out the corrupt MMD and deliver within 5 years. part one was carried out and we are eagerly waiting for part two. By third year in power and if we see no improvement in the people’s welfare we shall start looking for a national oriented party to support and defeat the PF. People power has come to stay. My humble advice to the all who have Zambia at heart is please stay put and let the Government work. For those agitating to amputate Zambia, People power will not sit idle and see you bring war to this peace loving Country. Happy easter to you all.
