ACTING MMD spokesperson Mike Mulongoti has said Katuba Member of Parliament Jonas Shakafuswa and other MMD members who are not happy with the party should resign.
Mr Mulongoti said in Lusaka yesterday that Mr Shakafuswa should peacefully leave the MMD instead of regretting being a member of the party.
In an interview, Mr Mulongoti said the former deputy Finance minister should leave the ruling party if he was not happy about certain decisions the leadership had made.
“A political party is like a club which one joins voluntarily. When you are not happy you go away quietly,” he said.
Mr Shakafuswa at the weekend told Muvi Television in his constituency that he regretted belonging to a party where leaders were now trying to defer the national convention.
The MP said the MMD party convention should not be deferred because it would be undemocratic.
But Mr Mulongoti said a political party was like a club and all the members should abide by the rules failure to which they should voluntarily vacate.
He said politicians, like any other citizen, had the freedom of association which Mr Shakafuswa should exercise by leaving MMD instead of continuing to regret belonging to the party.
Some MMD MPs having been criticising the party following calls from several provinces urging the national executive committee to postpone the party national convention until after the 2011.
Former Finance minister Ng’andu Magande said some party members wanted to postpone the convention where one agenda item was to elect party president because they were scared that he would win.
[Times of Zambia]
The dramer continues .The beginning of the end of MMD.Wish it could come sooner.
Lusaka Times, Please spare us from this Mulongoti Fimofimo. No one can ever get sense from what this man says. Is this man the only source of information you have? His vimitting is not news. Please give us news. Some many things are happening at home and we want to know. Whats happening at CBU. Our people are hungry. We need such relevant coverage not this shameless cadre.
MMD cadres, you have all heard from tyour chief cader, please apply for PF or UPND cards NOW while stock lasts. This MMD must end now (Mwadya Mweeka Dadi). Leave this MMD for VJ, FTJ, shikapwasha, Mulongoti and RB. Lets see which hell they will be in come 2011.
GOOD WORK MULONGOTI ………
Every club too has rules and regulations. It’s way too apparent Mulongoti and his lot are busy trying to gerrymander the MMD regulations to suit the goals of Kanitundila. I also wonder whether Mulongoti realises he may not even live to see the 2011 elections. There is a very distinct possibility him and Kunda will observe it from six feet under, stone cold.
Which tribe is Mulogoti
drop dead pliz,we tired of you yokels
Iwe Mulongoteta!! MMD is not your Party. If there is anyone who needs to pack and go, niwebo. Umunenu Levy Afwa (MHSRIP), Elo mwa tampa ifyabupu.ba? rather than listen to your cheap endless ranting, we actually prefer three days of National mourning! kalale!!
But it iz sometimez wizer to stick around even if you are not happy, withe hope that what you percieve wrong may be corrected instead of jumping on the next train every time. But yes, if you should get to levelz beyond redemption, then why not?
Mulongoti u know Shaka very well. He is going to screw u in your mouth. Just leave him.
Continue with your good work Mr. Mulongoti. We rally behind you. MMD forge ahead with prosperity!
#10 I will sort you, prepare for…
MULONGOTI SUFFERS FROM AN ITCHY MOUTH WHICH STINKS OF HIS AS.S. HE SHOULD STOP POKING IT AND PLACING THE HAND ON HIS MOUTH AND THE TALKING.HE TALKS TOO MUCH CRAPP
go s.c.r.e.w yourself mulongoti
Mr Mulongoti, do u need to rant at anyone with different views all the time. We are tired of and pathetic agenda of wanting RB to be sole candidate for 2011 so that you keep your ministerial position. We all know that you can’t survive without RB.
Why do people like Mulongoti feel they have all the right to run this party in whatever way they want & everybody else should just say AMEN – Inde bwana! Every member has a right to fight for their rights. Why should they run away just because of Mulongoti?
Mulongoti has very short memory. We just recently interred Teta. He also became very vocal towards his end. Soon Mulongoti will be next.
A pattern has surely emerged. Talk, Talk, Talk, then expire.
We formed MMD due to lack of democracy in the one party rule by Unip. Our consititution clearly states that for one stand for any position on MMD ticket that one must have been a member for a minimum of 2 years. But alas! any Jim and Jack can defect to MMD in the morning and becomes a minister etc in the evening. Trash like Mulongoti have a problem because they are foreigners who have adopted Zambian tribes and will support any thing lest they be deported like Chiluba did to KK
Not #10 but #11
”But Mr Mulongoti said a political party was like a club and all the members should abide by the rules failure to which they should voluntarily vacate.” Interesting, but I thought the people Mulongoti is trying to push out of MMD are actually trying to follow the rules.
Indeed, we need serious prayers to Tetamise Mulongoti or should we wait for the expert from Chiengi shool of medicine (Katele) to do the needful?
#20. I meant Chiengi School of Medicine.
Mulongoti please, MMD is not like your house where you can chase anyone. Whats your problem? The truth hurts. We will see how far you will go with the postponement of the convention. You are just scared of your worship Kanitundila not to be challenged. You have been advising him wrongly. You will end up like Chiluba and his third term which never worked. We are watching you. tell your president to concentrate on developing the country instead of wasting time on Chiluba’s acquittal, Magande this, Shaka that.
Next on the death row. maggot or mulongoti
The only criteria for being chosen party spokesperson is that you must be sufficiently a tin that is empty enough to make a lot of noise. That is their criteria for choosing a party and govt spokesperson. You must be willing to talk and talk a lot of rubbish. You can see how Mulongoti moved from being govt spokesperson to now party spokesperson because the guy is an emty tin alright. Ask him how many times he failed courses at UNZA? The man can’t write a simple essay. Even when he speaks, listen to his sentence constructions and these are the people we call Hon. Hon. Nonsense!!
Does Mulongoti own mmd? donot talk about his tribe that is imaterial talk about what he hopes to achieve continue Michael
# 6, Tribalist,
Ka Mulongoti is Bemba likely from Mpolokoso. I hope you dont mind the bemba tribe – ba kaele apart from a few bags of slime like Mulongoti.
Time will tell. Mulongoti should just keep quite. Soon, he might be the one to follow Teta!!! bali na umoyo wo toping bambili mu MMD including the second in command. I can’t wait to see Mulongoti goes to the other side of town quickly.he should let pipo talk about the convetion who are still thinking. Banda is real UNIPIST, very undemocractic.
#26 Wrong. He is mwachiusa whose parents settled in Lufwanyama. Check from those from Nkana
No.27 you are very right kani yaku toping toping its like the whole bunch of MMD crap is a damn shit. Really Teta mulongochi shut up bootliker and concentrate making arrangements for your family before you are like nshimba Teta who had no house and the mother to teta has a grass thatched house when the son was Local Govt Minister maRubbish as you are next on the line while (chiengi) business on searching when to target you plus kanitundila
LT – can you please advise Mulongoti that he is paid to patch-up our roads not politiking…issssh!!!!!!
We don’t talk about tribes but people’s abilities. However, depending on where you hell from, your mannerisms may be different. They charity begins at home, but what if you came from a home where no one no charity at all where will yiour start from?So, if you listen to Mulongoti and listen to HH, you can see who canme from where? Mulongoti is uncouth and has no mammers, which could mean, he is just unruly or came from a home that taught him extremely bad manners. Nothing to do with tribe but upbringing!!!
That is MMD for you. I always argue that the closest they ever had to democratic conventuin waS IN 1996, SINCE THEN they have always managed to stop serious contenders from challenging the President. As for Shakafuswa, while you are right, you were serious boot licker when your uncle was president so serves you right. We must learn to always be on the right side of an argument, not to only go there when it suits you
By the way, did you that “Teta Masimba” means talk rubbish in Xhosa language (MHSRIP)………& then nga ka Mulongoti kafwa we start saying he a very good leader..twapenga maningi mu Zambia !!!
During election time ka mulongoti gets sick,havent you noticed.the last election he pretended to be sick
What Mulongoti has said is true a party is a club. When you are tired you move on. Shakas u came from UPND U CAN GO BACK. i DONT AGREE WITH MOST THINGS MULONGOTI SAYS BUT FOR THIS ONE HE IS RIGHT.
