Nawakwi vows not to be intimidated

Forum for Democracy and Development FDD leader, Edith Nawakwi

Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) leader, Edith Nawakwi has vowed not to succumb to the intimidation of the ruling MMD following her sustained criticism of president Rupiah Banda and his government.

Ms Nawakwi said in an interview she would continue to be critical of the MMD leadership style.

The FDD leader described Vice president George Kunda’s remarks and for the African institute of democracy and good governance as empty for alleging that she has failed her party and members were calling for her removal.

Ms Nawakwi said it is clear that the ruling MMD has been threatened by her stability in leadership and the heat is too much for them to handle.

She said the assertions by Mr.Kunda that her party members would soon be petitioning her are false and only go to show that the MMD has started to porch some of her party members to destroy her political career.

She accused the ruling party of sponsoring a few members in the FDD who might rise against her and call for her to step down.

  1. What i dont understand from Politicians and Zambians in general is that you can say all you want about someone of influence but then when those people say something about you they its intimidation/???:o:o Am seriuosly confused…Its like we all want to be heard but we dont want to hear what others have to say…ie everyone was calling FTJ names when he spoke out ati intimidation.When the Church speaks out it ok give a response ati no one will intimidate us not that i support any of this crap but if you are going to point a finger at other you better be ready for the other 3 fingers pointing at you and not cry that they only want to intimidate you.Its like pointing a finger half heatedly because you are afraid or hiding something or just dont have the bottle for the fight that gos both ways

  2. madam, don’t lie to us that the reason you are fighting so hard is because you love mother Zambia. we watched how you enriched yourself at the expense of serving the country. you have up to now lamentably failed to explain your involvement in the carlington maize deal.

  3. I love her brevity but what I dont understand is WHY DID SHE SO STUPIDLY SUPPORT RB in lat elections? She disappointed us a lot.

  4. Just join MMD and save yourself from mental torture. MMD is the only party with good, frank and hardworking leaders.

  5. And yes, Edith, I still remember how you were bank rolling your “husband’s children” ‘s school fees abroad, using govt. funds, Husband snatcher. I still remember how “big-headed” you became when Titus bought you that Volvo in the name of ministerial duties. Just crawl back under that small stone you came from. You “ate” enough. It’s RB’s turn. Afterall that’s what you all do!

  6. If Nawakwi was such a nonentity and a “bad egg” why didn’t Kunda expose her when she was in league with RB during his presidential campaign? Allover a sudden, she is now an enemy of the State who deserves to be crushed by the State machinery? Just because she has “seen the light” and changed her mind about someone (Rupiah Banda) she thought would take Zambia to new heights, but he has lamentably failed? Politics is indeed a dirty game!!!

  7. #1 and #2, I agree with you, it seems this lady has other motives behind are recent criticisms or rants. Her impeccable desire to dramatize all issues sicken me. As for appearance, I think she desperately needs a make over, you cannot tell her apart from some villager in Nakonde.

  8. I eagerly await the demise of Kunda, he’s the most senseless lawyer i have ever seen or heard of. What ever he says nowadays stinks like rotten eggs and only interesting to fellow ‘dogs’ and the likes of Senior Citizen and his civil partner Mr Capitalist. He thinks he’s a sum total of all Zambian wisdom, he’s head is grown too big he’s starting to irritate everyone. If this is the kind of degree holders the NCC empty heads had in mind when they decided to include that shameful discriminating clause then it’s two steps backwards. He’s time is coming he won’t on annoying everyone at this rate for a long, infact sometimes i think RB would have been a good, rational, best ever Zambian President if he had good advisors or indeed if he had an independent mind.

  9. Listen to what the lady is saying about pipo dying coz of the floods and lack of medicines in Hospitals coz that is wat is prevailing and need attention.MMD seems to have serious issues with constructive criticism!George Kunda pliz grow up!

  10. Mmmmmm!!!! imwe guys wilachita intimidate impopo.:x:x
    Ababantu niba ninefwe. Balatwafwa Ka!#:-s

  11. No. 8 – Canadian Thermometer: please don’t stoop so low as to comment on appearance. Post a picture of yourself if you are better looking than the beautiful, intelligent, educated, brave Edith!

  12. No. 8 – Canadian Thermometer: please don’t stoop so low as to comment on appearance. Post a picture of yourself if you are better looking than the beautiful, intelligent, educated, brave Edith!

  13. Ms Nawakwi did herself irreparable harm by shamelessly supporting RB for President in 2008. By that act, she clearly demonstrated to all discerning Zambians that she lacked good judgment, one of the essential qualities expected in a capable leader. Much as we may sympathize with Edith regarding the virulent attacks from her adversaries (erstwhile friends), alas, she squandered much of the goodwill that she might have previously enjoyed. Might as well retire from politics!

  14. HAHAHA Shes paying for her sins.
    she was so blind to support some pipo in last years elections. thats wat happens if yyou dont get wat you wanted. Shame NAWAKWI.

  15. Multi Millionaire (that is if you are one, or if you will ever be), what is your beef? Listen to yourself, make-over is not about beauty, but improvement in style and appearance. If you see my photo, then what? I do not want to waste anymore of my time by further debating you. If you are fanning for an argument with me, I am not interested, I expressed my opinion which I am entitled to.

  16. Nawakwi did not get want she was promised by RB just like Ngondo, Nawakwi has no morals she does what pleases her and what benefits her. She is not any different from all other politicians who only pretend to speak for the poeple when it affects them personally, WE WILL GANGRAPE NAWAKWI. Let us screen these politicians who have now made politics as a career, Look at the KING COBRA (SATAN), For me HH is the MAN.

  18. Four surgeons are discussing who the best patients to operate on were.

    1. The first surgeon says, ‘I like to see Accountants on my operating
    table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.’

    2. The second responds, ‘Yeah, but you should try Electricians!
    Everything inside them is colour-coded.’

    3. The third surgeon says, ‘No, I really think Librarians are the best;
    everything inside them is in alphabetical order.’

    4. But the fourth surgeon shut them all up when he observed, ‘You’re all
    wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There’s no guts, no
    heart, no balls, no brain, and no spine, and there are only two moving
    parts – the mouth and the ass’ and they are interchangeable.

  19. SATA THE CRIMINAL
    We know you. Ndiwe ka UPND HH supporter ,tell your master to go ahead with UPND alone as presidential Candidate.since Cobra is a satan a criminal convicted by you , so that again HH akachoke number last

  20. in light of “Ms Nawakwi said in an interview she would continue to be critical of the MMD leadership style” I hope Ms Nawakwi is prepared for what it takes to take on the MMD GRZ which she was part of and that evict her.

    Have a blessed day all.

  21. It seems Nawakwi will never learn her lessons.She was screwed by Dr FTJ and she ended up being disappointed, She then snatched somebodies husband and had plain unprotected intercause with him and she was damaged, Now she is after RB, may be the old man will do it the eastern way,send me to screw her or a bunch of cadres to gangscrew the talkative bitch.

  22. Bana Mbwiga, we are with you all the way now that you have seen the light. Hammer ba roomie!

  23. she looks horrible wat happened to her too much husband snatching or educating her husband children has left her damn drained she really looks s”””ht

  24. #31 RB KUMAWA
    I pray that God forgives and helps you. you’ve taken blogging to a all new lowest level, enough said.

  25. Nawakwi is the true prostitute, few days ago, she was busy campaigning for RB. Then awarded with one trip to Ethiopia, then ditched. All this time she was very quiet and happy. But after realizing that no more trips. she started attacking RB, calling him a butterfly. Her attack or comments might make sense, but she is not the right person. she is a finished politician, not worth any body’s comment.

  26. Nawakwi has nothing to offer she better keep quiet. Those staying in glass houses should not throw stones!!!!

  27. Spent force. Somebody tell her, she’s not doing checks and balances. It’s all checks and checks with no alternatives to suggest. Gets a bit too noisy!!!

  28. Nawakwi should just shut up!She is a snake that needs to be watched.The only people I have seen in the last 10years or less who have been consistent in terms of political affiliation are Sata,HH and GENERAL MIYANDA.Lets forget about Edith especially after what she did during the last election.She has no right to say anything against RB:THIS IS WHAT SHE WENT ROUND THE COUNTRY FOR! I HOPE B.Y MWILA IS READING THIS………..

  29. You are all missing the point, I am not a supporter of Edith, but I do support her for attacking the government. She supported RB at the beginning hoping he would do well for the country but he has failed. She is in opposition and she has a right to do the checks and balances. The rest of the opposition they have fallen the trap of mudslinging! Forget the past and look for the future because the country is going down.

  30. MAMA NAWAKWI, PLEASE IT IS AN AFRICAN TO ALWAYS APPEAR IN A BLACK ICHITAMBALA(BLACK HEAD WRAP) LIKE A WIDOW IN NEWS PAPERS. BA POST MAYO BALEMUSEBANYA FYE.LEAVE A MAPOLITICS. MWEMA GRADUATES FUTI MULE-VOKA-VOKA KWATI NIBAKAPONYA. START WRITTING BOOKS ON HOW YOU USED A MA-MILLIONS WHICH YOU GOT FOR DOING NOTHING WHEN YOU WERE IN GRZ.

  31. While i do not support sad lives here who are showering insults on her and infringing on her right of expression i just hope this saves as a lesson to so many unprincipled politicians with no sense of ideological direction. Unlike BY, Cosmas Mumba and Siulapwa madam Nawakwi is streets better than these useless lot and ought to have sat back and give it a deep thought before endorsing RB in 2008. She miscalculated thinking as usual that we’re a sleepy nation she would make a quick turn around at a convenient time and nobody would question her judgement. It’s difficult to understand what qualities she saw in RB when the entire civilised part of the nation was totally against RB because he’s as transparent as jelly were able to see the rotten inside of RB. I feel very sorry for her.

  32. 41 r u sure Edith was objectively supporting RB?I DON’T THINK SO!SHE WAS JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT PF DOES NOT PULL THROUGH.I DONT THINK SHE IS THERE FOR CHECKS AND BALANCES EITHER!I BELIEVE EDITH,NGONDO AND B.Y ARE VERY DESPERATE POLITICIANS.SHE SHOULD JUST SHUT UP!!!

  33. I hope this is not the beginning of her political demise because if we take the comments here as an opinion poll and extrapolate then am afraid shes done and dusted. However, she still deserve respect as a human being not the shameful insults beind spewd by empty heads.

  34. # 9 no No thats too much even if he upsets you restrain yourself from sin. What you ve done is sin. Don t get too hurt plse.

  35. “She accused the ruling party of sponsoring a few members in the FDD who might rise against her and call for her to step down.”

    Oh give me a break Madam. I think some of us are sick and tired of such useless red herrings. I would like the madam to produce some proof for this useless accusation otherwise we shall dismiss it as useless gossip.

  36. “What ever he says nowadays stinks like rotten eggs and only interesting to fellow ‘dogs’ and the likes of Senior Citizen and his civil partner Mr Capitalist.”

    @ #9 msana wanzili

    :-@:-@:-@ Talk about me when you have something much more issue oriented to say. Senior Citizen is way beyond what you can handle. He is too smart for you which is why you have chosen to slam him on personal levels and yet you cannot address him on issues because you wouldn’t last against Senior Citizen.

  37. I cannot belive I am hearing corretly from number 31 of agreeing with gang rapists…. it shows how Zambians have stooped so low in morals, I am not too sure whether you can be happy if it were your wife, sister, grandmother, Mother who was threatned to be RAPED!!!!! I cannot belive sombody would sit on their normal ASS and make a joke out of this… I think the deplorable conditions in Zambia has wiped out every brains from our country men…. People you need to change!! There is a terrible saying and it always catches up with us, that tomorrow it can be YOU! Somebody would rape yr wife or daughter, lets hear you open yr mouth, on this one… thats why we must not be advocates of WICKEDNESS, no matter how much you dislike the other person, never ill wish them!! Do unto others

  38. AS you would want them do unto you? Jesus’s sermon on the Mountain… a very object lesson. Vent all you can on the persona of Edith, but never, never want something bad to happen to your friends, as we are all sitting on the edge and are not protected from our evil thoughts. Life is bietch, it make us taste the medicine of our own making!

  39. Hell has no fury like a woman scorned! Chiluba promised to hand over the presidence to Nawakwi and when he reneged on his promise, she came down on the pygmy Katangese like a torrent of Nyamulenge rebels. When she campaigned for Bwezani, he promised to bring her in from the cold to be the vice president but in typical Bwezani style, he stuck to his red lipped snake and what he is now experiencing is the wrath of a woman scorned. Though I think she has valid points in most things she says but its the over stretching of the truth and sarcasim that characterises he outbursts that I find most vile.

  40. Mr Capitalist
    Tell us something we dont know about Senior Citizen aka BK,what is it that Msana Wanzilil cant handle from that man,maybe you should ask some of us who have spent sometime unearthing mr ben kangwa,he is just a journalist who’s life hit a dramatic turn when he became an mmd cader and was duly rewarded with a post as a press liaison officer at the american embassy,all he does is copy and paste stuff,i bet he cant even write a biography of himself.This is a man who even writes on his twitter that he is done with Journalism,all he wants to do is work in foreign missions,he blew his cover and talked too much,time is catching up with him.SIMPLES!!!!!

  41. “Tell us something we dont know about Senior Citizen aka BK,what is it that Msana Wanzilil cant handle from that man,maybe you should ask some of us who have spent sometime unearthing mr ben kangwa,”

    Till today and yet you still accuse Senior Citizen of being Mr. Ben Kangwa. You have done this without providing evidence that can prove beyond reasonable doubt that Senior Citizen is Mr. Ben Kangwa. I am challenging you right now, Provide irrefutable verifiable evidence that Senior Citizen is Mr. Ben Kangwa.

    Smooth Criminal, judging from your past, it is difficult to take anything you have to say about Senior Citizen as factual. You once accused me of writing evils about Mr. Mpombo and his daughters, till this day you have not been able to prove it. You thrive on lies.

  42. Mr Capitalist
    Senior Citizen is way beyond what you can handle. He is too smart for you which is why you have chosen to slam him on personal levels and yet you cannot address him on issues because you wouldn’t last against Senior Citizen.
    what makes Senior Citizen so smart that we cant handle please,from whatever he has blogged on LT,unless you have some other reasons to suggest otherwise,i will take it you are in the same league.
    Im not going to justify to you how i came to know Senior Citizen,i provided whatever i gathered to him,who are you to challenge me anyway,and if i prove it to you then what
    I once asked you if you work at the Canadian embassy or if you are related to Nevers Mumba in anyway,you kept quiet,i’ll rest my case

  43. “what makes Senior Citizen so smart that we cant handle please,from whatever he has blogged on LT,unless you have some other reasons to suggest otherwise,i will take it you are in the same league.”

    Oh give me a break. Even you can see that in my post on #48 I was talking to msana wanzili. How did it all of the sudden become a we when I was talking to Msana Wanzili. At what point did I address you in my post on #48? As for me being in the same league as Senior Citizen, what league? I think for myself and form my own opinions. Senior Citizen thinks for himself and forms his own opinions. I have come to notice that the tactic you and other PF cadres and Sympathizers use is to try and attack people on a personal level when you fail to challenge them on issues.

  44. For the upteenth time,im not PF,neither am I UPND or PACT,God forbid i cant even be a loyal mmd DOG
    Im not attacking anybody,and i’ve never attacked you,if asking you if you work at the Canadian embassy and whether you are related to Nevers Mumba, which you keep on ignoring is an attack then its unfortunate,tho i wont apologize.as for BK, he talked too much and in the end blew his cover,someone somewhere in the corridors of power was not very impressed,its all about security when you work at such sensitive places.
    So what makes Senior Citizen so smart that Msana Wanzili cant handle?my bad you not in the same league,i used to think smart people are meant to be in some sort of their own league,now you not even in the league of smart senior citizen aka bk hmmm :d

  45. “For the upteenth time,im not PF,neither am I UPND or PACT,God forbid i cant even be a loyal mmd DOG”

    Thank you for making that clear.

    “So what makes Senior Citizen so smart that Msana Wanzili cant handle?”

    Well Senior Citizen understands political, economical as well as issues that have to do with law. The many times he has made posts pertaining to this, he has been attacked on a personal level by the likes of msana wanzili and others. If they cannot challenge him on the issues he brings up and choose to attack him on a personal level, it simply shows that they do not understand the issues he has brought up because the issues are beyond their scope.

  46. cont. from #58

    And some words of advice, if you cannot prove beyond reasonable doubt that Senior Citizen is Mr. Kangwa, you are committing libel and Mr. Kangwa has every right to sue.

  47. Every one can understand political,economical as well as things to do with law,but that does not make them smart and too much to handle for the likes of Msana Wanzili
    I doubt you can even come up with any meaningfull post that Senior Citizen ever posted on LT that was well researched,im putting it to you that he is not an economist,neither is he a political analyst,nor is he vested with any knowledge in law,He is a journalist,thats why he is a Press Liaison officer at the embassy in DC,cut and paste is like a hobby to him
    I’ve proved to him beyond any reasonable doubt,i told you im not going to prove it to you.SIMPLES!!
    I noticed you still ignoring my question,you dont have to answer it anyway,silence is sometimes a sign of acknowledgment.You reckon i can be sued,that would be exciting

  48. My sister you have the capacity to be in government. You are far much better than most ministers in the current government. Just join the pact and assist Zambia to Move forward!!!!

  49. #9, you are taking this hate thing too far. Now you want to see people dead? Honestly? Is this how desperate you are to see your one tribe rule over the 72 tribes of Zambia? You want people to die?

    It is one thing to have faith in God the unseen but it is another to have faith in man that has looted the economy and taken lives in Zambia. Do you honestly think these opposition leaders have your interest at heart? If they do, where were they when Zambia was being looted under FTJ & Sata? You cant be a murderer today and then a pastor tomorrow.

    You need to seek the strength of the lord to save you from the work of lucifer. It is demonic to wish someone dead regardless of how much you hate them. Our leaders were picked by God and they are his servants.

    Seek help!

  50. Mr. Capitalist, please understand that the threat of tribalism is real. I see many educated people with bright futures looking only to see a president from their tribe rule over the rest. Satan has taken root in Zambia and he targets the weak. This is why PF is pro-bemba and UPND is pro-tonga. Jesus is for the rest of the 70 tribes who are united under MMD & RBB. So when you read the responses of Red Card or msana wanzili, you should know that they will deny being affiliated with political parties because they are actually tribalists whose intention is to dominate other tribes.

    Just the other day i heard an educated Bemba saying “Bemba’s are the rightful rulers of Zambia.” A few days later i heard an educated Tonga saying “Its time for a Tonga to rule over Zambia”.

    No merit!

  51. Voting for the pact is like voting for two demons sent by satan to dislodge the will of God. After all, RB only became president because he was chosen by God. Now we are seeing satanic ideas being peddled on this blog. Very sad indeed. I pray “lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil”

  52. “Every one can understand political,economical as well as things to do with law,but that does not make them smart and too much to handle for the likes of Msana Wanzili”

    Well if it is so easy to understand and the likes of Msana Wanzili can handle him then why choose to attack Senior Citizen on personal levels? If he is so easy to handle, why not challenge the issues he brings up? Why attack him on a personal level?

  53. “im putting it to you that he is not an economist,neither is he a political analyst,”

    And when did I claim that he was an economist or political analyst?

  54. #65, Its because the truth hurts! This is why the weak attack personalities when there is nothing else to attack. It is a sign of weakness and is a clear indication of wickedness. It pains to be realistic and see that RB is going to get his second term. It pains to see that economic strides have been maintained despite the death of Levy. It pains to know that tribalism will fail to take root in our government come 2011 because because both the UPND and PF will fail to beat MMD & RB. Its all about the pain associated with evil intentions!

  55. @ #63 Mwangala

    I think there is great merit in what you have said. It is suspect to see the kind of supporters the PF attracts. Here is a certain post by a PF cadre and I will paste it below here.

    “I pray that Zambia goes the Rwanda way and your family be the first to be hacked.”Kalos2020, Civil society organizations alarmed and concerned at the arrest of Fr. Bwalya, Lusaka Times, May 13 2010

    Now I don’t know if the guy is Bemba nor am I trying to label Bemba’s in a certain harmful way but it is surprising that someone can post such disgusting filth more especially in the 21st century. Already we have on this blog someone wishing for the demise of the VP Mr. G Kunda. The PF is becoming a scary party indeed and I worry for my country.

  56. I voted for PF in the last election but after reading msana wanzili’s comments, I am affraid this whole thing is going to bring chaos to our country. I dont want to raise my kids in a war envionment. I think i’ll play safe and assure my family votes for continuity, stability and peace in 2011. We’re going with RBB & MMD.

    This thing of wishing death to people like Hon. G. Kunda is both treasonable as well as evil. You cant hate your fellow Zambian so much as to wish him dead. Why hate your brother? Is this what God teaches?

  57. #68, just the other day a security guard was beaten by PF cadres in Garden compound because they asked him his name and he replied “ndine ba banda”. They pounced on him and wired the poor chap. The cadres spoke Bemba only and accused the poor guard of moking them. They forced him to change his name and call himself Chilufya. When he agreed, they let him go and laughed.

    Tribalism is real and it is being peddled by both PF and UPND. It has become the basis for the politics you see today.

  58. Nawakwi can at least speak her mind! Unlike most bootlicking down right, pathertic dogs i hear and see, barking aimlessly and moving about like “headless chickens”, she has the guts to turn around and express her displeasure with the current phernominally poor leadership!.

  59. Mwangala
    So if someone says that he is not affiliated to any political party then he is a tribalist trying to dominate other tribes,what kind of reasoning is this,and by the way Edithe Nawakwi was threatend with ganga rape isnt that an offence,and whats with posting under different names,trying to make it look like a band of brothers,,,,,pathetic

  60. Musana wa Nzili@ 9.Firstly, you are a heartless ,callous beast with warped reasoning. If this display of the person you are is a representation of family and society to which you belong then ,I am afraid ,you are a park of queer individuals who always move in the dark. I think you are yourself being haunted by the spirit of death.You should repent. I have seen some sense in some of these bloggs but I have seen nothing in what you have said apart from satanism. Who can listen to you monster….you do not belong to the family of humans ; you are an animal…who should be culled. Shit!

  61. I really dont understand how some people think.Nawakwi is trying to point out some issues which are supposed to be put into consideration by the gorvenment then you start calling her names.She is simply talking about NATIONAL ISSUES which will benefit each and every Zambian.If the clinics dont have medicine who is going to suffer blive me most pipo are going to suffer and they are oredy suffering.Lets contribute things which will bring development cause we are really behind.
