The Tonga Traditional Association endorse HH

Share

The Tonga Traditional Association (TTA) has endorsed the candidature of United Party for National Development (UPND)’s Hakainde Hichilema in the next week’s Presidential elections scheduled for October 30.

Speaking in a special programme on Musi-oa-tunya community radio station in Livingstone last night, President of the TTA Dickson Namanza disclosed that his association which comprised of 3.5 million people across the nation has decided to endorse Hichilema’s candidature because he is the only Presidential candidate who has so far promised good policies for the economic development of the country.

Mr. Namanza who is also Chairman of Lwiindi Traditional Ceremony said there is no doubt that Hichilema will transform the country’s social and economic problems should he be voted into power next week.

He said Mr. Hichilema is the only one who has come up with sound policies that includes free education up to university level, improvement of civil servants’ salaries the lowest paid not getting less than 3.5million per month among other pertinent issues.

ATT Chairman charged that education, health and agriculture sectors of the economy are among the key factors that Hichilema has pledged to improve on when he becomes President.

Mr. Namanza appealed to the electorates in the country to vote on merit in next week’s Presidential polls.

Meanwhile, UPND President Hakainde Hichilema is tomorrow expected to hold his campaign rally ahead of next week’s Presidential elections in Mambova, Kazungula district .

He is also expected to hold another rally in Livingstone .

  1. Free education even in developed countrys applies to those that really cant offord it UNiversity is not free either some study and still have a lot to payback once they find a job.
    The country needs money to run its projects so how do you counter that with pay rises whether for MP or gov employees. Tongas sorry but be realistic the days of free stuff has gone with UNIP such promises awe mwandi
    I am sorry but this is not improving peoples lives this is making them lazy.

  2. Since you are saying Tongas are tribal we shall show you on 30th Oct all over the country where we are and iam urging all the Bantu Botatwe people to teach these Bemba tribilists a lesson by voting for HH 100%.Will see how your mad Sata will get the votes to beat RB

  3. #6 how sure are you that sata is mad? is it
    1. when he built mezaf house
    2. when he was paying council workers on 30 of every month
    3. when he stopped the smell at UTH
    4. when he constructed chilumbulu road
    tell me or stop making such claims which you cant prove. i would never say that hh is a thief when he sold most parastatal to himself.

  4. Ahhh DUH!!! Why what a suprise!!!!! I’m really shocked…………………… that it took them this long.
    Good for you – I think.

  5. #9
    Sata put the money in his personal account tell me if he will open another presidential account to pay salaries to the whole work force of the nation while it gains interest for him

  6. that’s the spirit TTA…let the legacy go on!why would youy endorse someone who doesn’t speak your language and cares less to know!he only to be speaking bemba and spoil the whole country with booboo language!viva HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  7. don’t even feel ashemd or be sorry about what other chaps will say!patriotism is the key to development !!if you see a leader in HH..why close your eyes and endorse old madalas without visions?

  8. Stop being tribal al u pipo blogin here.u dnt knw wat u advocate 4 in ur tribal sentiments..grow up..and stop being primitive..

  9. HH lets keep the fire burning the impact has been felt all over the country.Let the old men vomit blood this journey is for energetic and vibrant managers.Let sata continue suffering the pressure of the Helicopter by 29th Oct wina Azaluka Mu Helicopter

  10. Easterners have endorsed RB its only when its Tongas in the news that people raise eyebrows. How many MPs in PF are non-Bemba? I only know of Guy Scott and Given Lubinda. Cn someone give me more non-Bemba names of PF MPs?

  11. Time for the Tongas to rule ZAmbia. Nothing wrong with that, is there? They should’nt just sit on the sidelines. They are zambians as well.
    VIVA HH…..VIVA TTA.

  12. its very true that PF is very tribal and that’s why all the MPs have some vulgar language coz they come from the same place!no other tribe is used in their meetings and i hate that coz it stinks!all the time is bemba ….why can’t bembas learn to accept other tribes and i mean they are sharp than you!why not accept and learn from them?Easterners endorsed RB and northerners and Luapulans endorsed Sata and now when Tongas endorse HH,you dull chaps say its tribalism!nonsense…tutwe kube mbaasokwe!!

  13. HOW ABOUT SATA ENDOSED BY THE NORTH AND LUAPULA AND HIS TRIBES MATE Mmembe who is just eyeing one man to shame and discredite. The difference is Easterners will vote for reason not for tribe Mwanawasa got very goot votes seats and support not that he came frome their. but southern province the partern tells you a very big story todate apart from livingstone. the entire province voted for HH not because of good policies but tribe.Its time Southern you stoped trible politics. redeem yourselves otherwise you are still very trible

  14. Yes `how about Easterners edosing RB and north and Luapula endosing Sata what do you call that. You are the ones who are tribalists shame on you.

  15. Southern,Western,North-Western,Central and Lusaka…viva HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  16. As a Zambian coming from the other 71 TRIBES, let me state that we are TIRED OF THE TONGA-BEMBA TRIBALISTIC POLITICS. MAYBE WE SHOULD NOT VOTE FOR EITHER SATA NOR HH, Things were a whole lot better under Mwanawasa than the first two chaps; and he came from one of the smallest tribes. Lest we forget what happened under Kaunda and Chiluba. My friends and I from a large expanse of the other tribes have agreed, we are tired of TRIBAL politics the sleeping gaint has awoken. Let us behave as one Zambia, or the rest of us that make the majority might keep some Bembas and Tongas out of politics till the grow up. Remember we love you guys for you too are Zambians but you keep forcing regulations.

  17. It is becoming increasingly evident that Zambian politics is shifting torwards tribal lines. I can smell another Kenya, NOT at the next week elections but some time in the future. Most of the contributors on this forum are foreign based but I am yet to see contibutions from them that gives me hope that one day Zambia will be like countries these guys are writing from. You are too attached to the tribal cord to make contributions that can move Zambia forward. This does not exclude those writing from home, you can also make a contribution that can fuel Zambia forward. Politics based on tribal will only take us backwards. Let usbe pariots NOT tribalist. Sorry if anyone will be offended by this.

  18. SOUTHERN PROVINCE WILL MAKE RB LOSE,THE PEOPLE DO NOT CHANGE THEIR MINDS BECAUSE OF BROWN ENVELOPES,THEY MEAN WELL FOR ZAMBIA.THEY VOTED FOR MMD IN 1991 AND 1996 100%.AFTER NOTICING THE MISMANAGEMENT AND CORRUPTION IN MMD(WHICH INCLUDED SATA),THEY TURNED THEIR BACKS ON MMD AND THERE IS NO TURNING BACK.BY THE WAY 503000 REGISTERED VOTERS IS THIRD LARGEST.

  19. RB and Sata have UNIP habits. Their dictatorial tendacies are already showing even before they are voted in. If you vote either of them into office, you will see the wisdom of those who are supporting HH.

  20. Zambians you never cease to amaze me…Will we ever live up to the ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION slogan? Come young Zambians let’s vote wisely not on tribal basis. We can make history…

  21. #28, that so-called “Man of Action” doesn’t even understand the constitution. He wants to rule for five years instead of three. He also wants to resurect the Barotse agreement which will divide Zambia into two. He wants to nationalise industries. With this so-called ‘Man of Action’, Sata, chances of inflation Sky-rocketing are very high. Infact I even see the possibility of him refusing to give up office all together. Don’t forget, Sata admires Mugabe’s style of leadership.

  22. #26 and #29, you are wise guys keep it up. I share your views. I now understand why Europe has small countries which are almost divided on ethenic lines. People have stopped thinking! This Bemba Vs Tonga political war just stinks. I would rather RB wins and to sobber some chaps and then I hope he retires in 2011 as he has said.

  23. the only candidate with a proper plan and vision is HH…shrak nyama soya and satana devil are old who need to rest!!

  24. Guys let us vote 4 HH, instead of sata and RB. This will help us avoid building a hse worth billions of kwacha after 3yrs. HH can develop the country.sata and RB can be like mugabe. Plz my felo zeds avoid the mugabe man of zed sata and RB. vote HH!

  25. #31 tht statement is ratha too strong…dnt hav neva heard such evil frm my felow zambian..lets be sober here pipo.

  26. Let me remind all of you who are chanting: ‘Pabwato! Pabwato!’ that Sata is not called “King Cobra” for nothing. You are going to start ading yourself whether this is the same man you once admired.

  27. I knew that some bemba tribalist would raise eye brows at this endorsement. Please read the reason given for endorsing HH by TTA. It is only true that he is the candidate that has promised free fertilisers and education from grade 1 up to university. He is the only candidate that says he will not draw a salary but donate it to the youth and the women. HH is the only candidate with economic management skills required to address problems such as the credit crunch that has hit the world on behalf of Zambia. Please lets us see quality before voting. As I mentioned shonas are suffering in Zimbabwe despite Mugabe being shona. Remember this as you vote. VOTE HH!!

  28. Tel me u pipo were it is writen tht-ths bloger is a bemba and ths bloga is tonga and so on.,cause ths primitivnes bein shown here is an embarasment,especialy tht sum of u ar in th developd world,i hope u are nt racist tht side-cause tribalism is js as racism..

  29. Someone unrealistically asks where HH will find the money to give the civil servants a minimum of K3.5M when they know that a large cabinet with their deputies and MP had given themselves hefty salaries which HH has said he will not approve. Is not sensible then to say that there is money around which can given to civil servants? Lets be realistic, this is our country and if a bad leaders comes in, we all suffer, it does not matter whether you are his tribes mate. When there are bad roads even tribes mates to the president die in accidents. Lets vote not on tribal lines but lets look at quality. It is only true that HH is the best candidate and all this nonsense of calling him tribal is bad.

  30. #45 abena copabelt..we knw tht hh is th best cndidate bt wat pipo also knw is tht it was tod tht only a tonga cn be upnd presido..meaning he wil automaticaly be presidnt for th tongas only..adres tht my man b4 apealin for hh to b votd 4..th tribal ting came frm upnd itself nt frm th odnary pipo.

  31. #48, thanks for admiting that HH is the best candidate. HH has never advocated 4 tribalism nonsense yet he has become a victim even when those who were calling for a tonga to lead UPND the likes of Ngande Mwanajiti are no longer with UPND because they could not deliver and HH is about hard work and commitment to poverty reduction and not the nonsense of tribalism. I mentioned earlier on that you can go to the Monitor of 2001 between Jan and June, you will find a paper titled ” Six OP boses axed” for not supporting Chiluba’s 3rd term and in that paper there was another headline “Chiluba has placed us in strategic positions-Sata”. Here Sata was being proud of the tribalism they practised.

  32. One Zambia one Nation is a waste time. We are fed up with it. Tongas dont need to give any excuse to anyone. Please no need to explain any of your actions. You have sacrificed enough for this Sh..t country full of thieves. Dont you see that these id..ots just want to put u in defence for there own benefit.

  33. Sata was even saying that if the country is not ruled by a northener/luapulan, it was as good as being in the hands of dogs. People don’t comment on this, they instead preffer to attack HH who never issued any tribal statement during the funeral of Mazoka. They attack HH that he still surrounds himself with tribal people but we know that the tribal people such as Ngande Mwanajiti have since left UPND to join MMD. I don’t know why Zambians are like this. Anyway, like I have mentioned, tribalism will not affect one section of society if allowed to ushers wrong characters with dictatorial tendencies in power. Sata champinoed the 3rd term and he is already saying there’ll be no elections in 2011

  34. 99% of people supporting hh are tongas.open and clear fact.This will make hh bring only his relatives in top positions,fact!

  35. # 9 you are simply sick because u don’t understand what it means to be a cosultant. if you want vote for your fellow sick people…

  36. #52 abena cb-u knw wat i knw is tht politicians only say o do things tht suit them at tht moment o ar to their advantage..and wat pipo wil tink is tht hh neva denouncd tht statement coz it suitd o advantagd hm tht time..and mayb now tht he needs votes to country wide,thts wen hs tryin to mend things up…i wud say thy must by al means try to acomodate otha pipo in orda to appeal to th masess(more voterz)

  37. No 52 I seem to remember reading that HH said to Sikota that he (HH) should lead UPND because a Lozi could never be president of Zambia. That was straight from the horses mouth. HH is tribal pure and simple, Have you forgotten he told the Lozi’s in Kaoma in 2006 that they should not vote for a Bemba?

  38. HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO ALL BONAFIDERS AS ZAMBIANS…I LOVE YOU PIPO BIG TIME. BUT REMEMBER TO VOTE FOR WISE MEN, THE MEN OF HIGH CARIBRE, REAL INTELLECTUALS WITH WELL ESTABLISHED MANIFESTO…..I MEAN MEN OF THE MOMENT…VIVA UUUUUUUUPPPPPPNNNNDDDD…VIVA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  39. IT’S ONLY THOSE WITH FIVE SENSES CAN UNDERSTAND AND VOTE FOR HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THOSE WHO ARE SICK UP THERE WILL VOTE FOR THOSE SICK CHAPS..WE ARE MOVING WITH TIME BOSSES & WE CAN’T AFFORD TO WASTE TIME ON THOSE MORONS. WE ARE DESPERATE FOR CHANGE YOU PIPO LIZ. IT’S ONLY HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AMONG THOSE MADALAS WHO CAN DELIVER PLIZZ..GOOOOOOOOOOOO HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH VIVA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  40. # 56, the issue is Sata saying that if Zambia is not ruled by a bemba (notherner/luapulan) it is as good as being in the hands of a dog. Let’s not forget about that and that is what I want you guys calling HH tribal to address. Sata was even boasting that Chiluba had given them influencial ministries such as Defence, Finance, Home affairs which he singled out that those ministries were always in the hands of bembas from the time Chiluba came into power which was only true. From Emmanuel Kasonde, it was Ronald Penza, then Nawakwi, and finally the witch Katele Kalumba at finance. Defence was with BY and Chitalu Sampa. This is the issue I want you to address before attacking HH.

  41. NO 56 WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PUT ACROSS???????? SO IF HE TOLD LOZIS NOT TO VOTE FOR A BEMBA ARE YOU SAYING LOZIS ARE NOW TONGAS????? THINK TWICE BEFORE U UTTER YO NONSES

  42. #60 Abena Cb..im sure wen u rid my postings im nt atakin hh bt simply articulatin wat was said and wat pipo tok wen thy tink of votin tht way..as 4 th sata issue and hs so kod positioning..mwana,those are turnoffs frm a politician.al i wnt to c is politics basd n isues and nt tribal,if these candidates cn be tribal lyk ths,its a realy big danger to al of us..we dnt wana c wat we hav seen arnd africa…abash tribalism..its 1 zed 1 nation..

  43. Zambia’s 1st president was named “DAVID” The 2nd was “JACOB” The 3rd was “LEVY” All these three names came from the bible, now tell me which book, chapter or verse where you can find such names like “RUPIAH” ,HAAKAINDE or GODFREY? Come on people “THE GREAT ANGEL IS MICHEAL” Vote wisely its 30th October. He is 4th.

  44. Iwe abena copperbelt it’s too much!!
    Don’t bring the issue of tribalsim here.I don’t really understand you some tonga guys.why do u like talking about Bembas.i think there’s something wrong with you really.U’re putting other tongas down.wake up no one will vote 4 HH if u conitnue attacking Bembas!!

  45. How about all Bembaz speaking from Luapula and Northern start evacuating Southern province. We only need to be meeting in Lusaka only period. Sata wont be president of the South. Twakaka.. Let him be the presidnt of his fellow thugs and thieves.

  46. #66. Who cares!!!.. We have been ruling ourselves since 2001. We have been the opposition. We just need to move it a stepfurther after these election should Sata win.

  47. when are we going to have traditional leaders to be neutral!it does not require sense to understand the difference between tribal & national political leadership but common sense.HH watchout with these statements they might be like mmd campaign committe decampaigning in the eyes of vice president corruption or your downfall poverty or corruption has lead zambian to comment minus thinking for the future.These are toka leyas the offshots btwn tongas & lozis marriage dont want to go deeper.

  48. As at now HH is the only credible candidate and has support from most of the Zambian voters that is why he (HH) is saying that RB can only win thru rigging which most Zambians agree with. It would just be a shame on Southerners if they do not see that for which non Tongas who have observed the same view about HH would expect it from Southerners. Only a pure party cadre and not a partriotic Zambian would hate Tongas for this, because Tongas voted Chiluba when he made sense on the need for a change in 1991. It would have been sad for other provinces especially the c/belt, Luapula and Northerners if they did not unanimously voted Chiluba as presido in 1991

  49. #53 Plz gauge your language. As your name implies (Supuni), let people continue using you for eating their rice, porriage,etc. The fact is you have no brains and honestly you must be the dullest person ever. If you are mentally sick, plz better go for a mental treatment before it is too late.

  50. Tongas cannot rule Zambia but can definitely rule the Cows all over the Southern province. Once upon the time, some cows were destined to a foreign country (neighbour) and one manager stopped the train in Kabwe. Then exchanged the slim cows with the fat ones that where supposed to go to a neighbour. I think he must enjoyed a lot mabisiiiiiiii milk by that time.

  51. One zambia, One nation thats all i can say for now. I come from a minority tribe and i just wonder why you people want to vote on tribal lines. anyway to be honest with the way things are going now the only person if people are not voting on tribal lines is SATA. he can clean this country for the next three years and then HH can be given the mandate in 2011. fair…

  52. HH is the man of our times. Every product has expiry date: Sata and RB are ancestors who have no constituency except their sugar baby wives.
    Viva HH.Pa Kwanja. Pa kuboko. Fa lizoho.
    SATA MUST LOSE.

  53. Viva HH, Come 30th October 2008 its HH & HH & HH, Go HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    HH is the best candidate among the four whether you like it or yes.

    Look at RB, always sleeping whenever he sits
    Look at Sata, vulgar language resposible fo the chawama saga, a rough old man whose health is also failing him.

  54. Fellow graduates and learned coleagues why do you want to bring shame to this great nation by ushering in someone who has never stepped on the corridors of a secondary school.Man of action in General Assembly Tukasebana.Zambia will be the first country to have an illeteracy president in the world

  56. i lost interest in the Tonga chiefs after it was reported that in the presence and under Old Poor poligamist Daniel Munkombwe, they endorsed RB.

    It has come to the attention that the Chiefs only wanted Brown or is it pink envelopes to fatten their bellies. well done to the chiefs for chewing RB’s money for Mahara. Well done indeed and well done again. Now you are speaking that you dont love RB. thanx a million times. now you can have your dignity.

  57. Great stuff, lovely stuff and good thinking Tonga Traditional Assoc iation. I expect other associ ations throughout the country to do the same. There is still a lot of time as we undertake this 30th October, 2008 solemn duty to elected a Zambian President who can sit with US GW Bush in a meeting or UK G Brown.
    Abash mediocre leadership that will get Zambia isolated on the international scene.
    Vote HH for a real ray of light that will bring in economic, political and social harnessed s a n e atmosphere to move Zambia to greater heights. Happy Independence day to you all and be blessed.

  58. why is it that tongas and bembas attack each other.u people are the only tribalists in our country.u think u’re the only ones in z.look at how kaondes,luvales,lundas easterners ,lozis etc behave,.cant u be ashamed u people.dont bring conflict in our country.

  59. Bemba thieves will never rule, most zambians have now known them for what they are. Check the list of all those facing plumber cases…99% Bembas.

  60. number 77, you are right these two tribes are tribal and i can not understand especially the TONGAS, bembas even better because when it comes to voting they dont vote on tribal lines but our friend!!

  61. Why go for tired ,recycled policticians with irrelevant experience when you have a fresh and young HH at the peak of his energy.Vote HH if you quality oriented.Yiu need a business manager now and not a cadre stone throwing type completely out of tune with current international business techniques that we need to turn this economy around! VIVA HH

  62. VJ is back in the campaign to put a case for national unity, stability and peace. Let all patriotic Zambians stand firm to prevent any heartless snake from putting it’s scaly a#s on the presidential chopper for the next 3 years. Zambia is the only country we have and can not afford just for the sake of change to ignore history. The disgraceful post must be brought to its knees for being the prince of hatred. Look at the sound counsel they gave to Zambians continuously for several years against voting for an anarchist. They have shameless swallowed their words to become a gutter paper, maligning a decent man for the sake of their lobbyist motives. Viva Bwezani, history will absorb you.

  63. Way to go TTA, I am waiting for BRE and other Associations including Mwata Kazembe in Luapula to show solidarity with HH. According to Sata’s current Mouthpiece The POST, Chief Kasempa of Northwestern province has asked HH to continue the good fight for Zambians’ economic emancipation.

    Lovely stuff and enjoy the Indepence Daya wherever you are.

    Lovely stuff and enjoy the Indepence Daya wherever you are.

  66. I am not Tonga and I find nothing wrong with the TTA endorsing HH because of his good qualities. The people of Eastern province including their paramount chief have endorsed RB. Based on what? Tribalism. Sata is supported by mostly Bemba-speaking people. Based on what? Tribalism. If others are doing it, why should the Tongas abandon their own? HH is the best candidate. Unfortunately Zambian voters are not objective. Instead they have exchanged their senses with brown envelopes, chibuku, chitenje material, and sugar. What a shame.

  67. KK advised the nation who would make a good leader for the nation. People mistake a hard worker and a leader, some cannot be both. As much I appreciate Sata’s work ethic, when you are presido, you do not need to go about all clinics checking who is working, simple you will not have the time.Put in place policies and framework and then implement them, with right resources good results should start showing.Secondly, zambia is in need of a farmer biased president at the moment, reason, diversifying the economy needs a person with good understanding of the agric sector.Not increase “tontembas” all over Lusaka and say the economy is doing well.Zambia deserves better.

  68. Those advocating tribalism are wrong. Not until we stop looking at tribal lines will this country develop. Most people hate others because of the the tribe where they come from.
    But let put zambia first not the zambian people ahead of our personal emotion and attachments.
    We know veery well that certain leaders have nothing to offer this country as some themn have been part and parcel of the corrupt regimes which ruled this country. So VIVA right man for zambia.
    VIVA HH VIVA UPND

  69. the tonga traditional association adopted HH for president because of his good policies, energetic,and gud vision for zambia.
    he just happens to be Tonga.
    When the chiefs in southern province supported RB no one commented against that.
    HH is the best man of all the aspiring presidential candidates.actually u can even tell by looking that other candidates are very old ,tired and finished.they have out lived their usefullness.
    VIVA HH VIVA UOND VIVA ZAMBIA FOR REAL CHANGE.

  70. “President of the TTA Dickson Namanza d i s c l o s e d that his a s s o c i a t i o n which comprised of 3.5 million people across the nation has decided to endorse Hichilema’s c a n d i d a t u r e because he is the only Presidential candidate who has so f a r promised good policies for the economic development of the country.”

    Fellow Citizens, I would like us all to focus on DEVELOPMENT issues as we all sell our candidates. We, Tonga People, know too much about Sata and his Bemba-Tribalism agenda but we deliberately chose to keep quiet for reasons best known to ourselves.

  73. #92, continued.
    Fellow Zambians, there is a game of Chess which is plyed by two players. In Chess, the player with WHITE pieces starts (ATTACKS) the game and put the one with Black pieces on defense (DEFENDS). In this case, the Player with White pieces has a slight advantage over the one with Black ones. However, as the game proceeds the Black pieces players consolidates his pieces to try to gain equal opportunities of winning the game and the moment the White Pieces player makes a simple mistake the Black player takes full control and normally enventually wins. With this in mind, I would like the Bemba-Tribalists to mind their language for we know enough history to Show how Tribal Sata is.

  74. #72, you saying Sata should rule then have HH take over in 2011? Sata has declared that there will be no election in 2011 and we all know that PF has never had any party elections. I there fore take that statement seriously. Should Sata win, this might be the last Presidential election you will ever see in Zed till he dies. Sata is Mugabe’s desciple. HH did well not to join hands with him.

  75. #102, great stuff.
    I would like to remind PF (dull) cadres that HH will be subject to UPND elections at a GENERAL A S S E M B L Y (convention) and may not win the UPND presidency. So, the hallucinations about HH being President in 2011 must stop because the future is not n=known. Besides, only God provides life and we can not claim that we will do this in future.
    Thus, it is now for now and we will think about 2011 elections when we will be in 2011, by God’s grace.

    Countdown: 5 days 10 hours 15 minutes remaining and we are counting.
    Vote HH for you children’s sake and your future life improvement.

  76. We in Zambia know the fact that most of the support Sata have is from the informal sector as he is appealing to those that are not literate. He talks what they want to hear. He says he will give them free Fertiliser. HH says he needs NCZ revived using the same 50% of subsidies. During the POresidential interviews, only HH articulated the how he is going to do what he is promising. Sata knows what to tel pipo and have no commitment. It is sad to note that pipo who are outside Zambia are advocating for tribe which is nopt a factor but are issues that are mentioned by Politicians to woe Votes. We all know that there is no majority tribe in Zambia even Tongas and sub divided so are Bembas

  77. Don’t waste your breathes you tongas! this is a two man race Sata and RB. Your HH is only favoured by his fellow tongas so he is far from winning the Oct 30 election. Just take a look at Kanchibiya by-election where his man only got 62 votes! What a shame and waste of time! Even in 2011 HH cannot win because he will compete with professor Clive Chirwa who I think can make a better president than HH.

  78. I can comfortably conclude that those of you who are against HH are the ones who are tribalistic coz the only thing you have against HH is his tribe. You are even willing to vote for Sata who has promised to divide this country thru the Barotse agreement. You even have the audacity to use the slogan “one Zambia one Nation”. There will be no one Zambia one nation if the agreement is effected. You are willing to vote for anyone regardless of how distructive they are just to avoid being ruled by a tonga. Who’s being tribal now?

    Vote for one of the two dictatorial old men with UNIP roots and see how you will suffer.

  79. 106. You write with you backside!
    Viva HH. Abash toilet seepers and beggars like you!
    Viva future.
    Don’nt vote for expired old redundant toxic gonga crap!

  80. Saat has promised to restore the baroste Agreement, meaning Western province will disappear, so come next year people there will be foreigners to Zambia.He has promised an Int’l airport in Zambezi, and who will be landing there? A hydro power station on the zambezi, etc, etc.All learned people in Zambia should distinguish cheap politiking and other facts. And can all these tribalist be shut down , please, we have come a long way to be reduced to a tribe.Abash tribalism.

  81. Let the people continue talking nonsense while the tongas make more money and becoming wiser. I now see why the jews are not loved. They are rich and intelligent

  82. state funerals are a drain to the country’s economy. so why vote for another dying old guard in the name of satanic sata. we all know that he was recently saved by the state by being evacuated to rsa with some serious heart problems. so how do you expect him to survive the rigors of state house? we dont want another state funeral. vote for energetic people and not recycled and finished materials. ichibwato nachibunda

  83. Pipo do not talk like you are the only voters. Lets wait and see how the Zambian people will speak next week. HH may be the best candidate but the tribal issue is a big one.
    UPND is a Tonga party.

  84. #110, Barotse Agreement includes Copperbelt. Zambia will be split into half! Thats how bad it is. Sata is so selfish that he is willing to split the country like that..

    Vote wisely avoid Sata the snake. He’s not called King Cobra for nothing.

  85. #115, tell us how many PF MPs are not Bemba. I only know of two – Scott & Lubinda. UPND is by far more mixed than PF. Check your before you post.

  86. Countdown: 5 days 5 hours 50 minutes remaining and we are counting.

    Vote for HH for a real ray of Chnage and Hope that all Zambians can believe and trust in. vote for your children’s future. Vote for economic independence

    To this end, I ask RBB and MMD to quickly endorse HH for Zambian President. Munkombwe was quoted as saying the Sata may win if MMD makes a single or simple mistake. So, MMD stand up for what is right. It is not too late for RBB to infrom the Nation through ZNBC TV and radio with Times of Zambia together with Zambia Daily Mail that let all vote for HH.

    May you all Zambians have a great weekend. I am leaving for a SABBATH recess. Thank you all for you support.

  87. Sata’s achievements listed by 9? No dispute but that’s why he would be most useful to Zambia as a minister not president.
