Fears of witchcraft have rocked the opposition Patriotic Front as leaders jostling for adoption as members of Parliament (MPs) have reportedly been seeking spiritual intervention from witchdoctors to give them an edge against their internal and external competitors.
Some very senior members of the party, who were named, have allegedly been trekking to a named neighbouring country to undergo ‘treatment’ to ensure they emerge victorious in the forthcoming presidential and parliamentary elections.
Impeccable sources told the Zambia Daily Mail the development has traumatised some members of the party, who are now living in fear after receiving warnings through some strange spiritual manifestations that they should not contest the elections .
A serving MP from Luapula Province said he had a frightening experience and almost drowned last month on Lake Bangweulu after the boat he was travelling in suddenly lost power amid a ferocious storm which almost capsized the vessel.
According to the named MP, this happened following numerous warnings by anonymous people that he should quit campaigning.
And another leader within the party is alleged to have been committing incest with his married daughter for witchcraft purposes in an apparent quest to give him good fortunes in his business and political pursuits.
The named leader has raised suspicions among his family members who are wondering how he has amassed a lot of wealth in a short period of time.
The family members said they are worried about his incestuous behaviour and have threatened to expose him.
“The boss is clearly vexed each time his son-in-law delivers the young woman to the office for work. He pours unpalatables bordering on sexuality on him.
“Unfortunately, the young man, maybe for fear of being beaten up, just withdraws quietly, but the whole situation has become very embarrassing and everybody now knows what is going on,” the source said.
And Teddy Kuyela and Kanyanta Katongo report that two Patriotic Front (PF) MPs have advised their colleagues from the opposition party to desist from practicing witchcraft as the party prepares for this year’s tripartite lections.
Luapula MP Peter Machungwa and Matero MP Faustina Sinyangwe said reports of witchcraft in the party are unfortunate and unhealthy to the opposition political party.
They said in separate interviews in Lusaka on February 20 that Zambia is a Christian nation and people practising witchcraft must be condemned by all well-meaning Zambians.
Dr Machungwa said Zambia will continue to be a Christian nation, and urged Zambians to continue to lift their country before Jesus Christ.
He said Zambia is built on Jesus Christ and that the Bible reigns supreme over everything that takes place in the country.
“I personally don’t believe in witchcraft, but I want to advise people who don’t believe in God and those who believe in witchcraft to turn to God because he is the only provider and Savior of humanity.
“Let these people also understand that Zambia is a Christian nation and that it is a sin for them to be practising witchcraft in a Christian nation,” Dr Machungwa said.
And Ms Sinyangwe said allegations of witchcraft will make sad reading to the nation if proved to be true.
“I am a believer and God-fearing person, and personally, I do not believe in witchcraft. It is sad that fears of witchcraft have rocked the party,” she said.
Ms Sinyangwe said if people start thinking about witchcraft, they can start harming one another just for leadership.

Give us the right staff to read besides witchcraft has no place in our Zambian laws. Once you are sued you can not proof witchcraft and you will pay dearly.
The biggest looser in all this is LT being shameless tabloid to publish this junk as news.
Load of rubbish.
Nowonder Sata has that embalmed Cobra in his office, I now understand why.
Daily Mail and there usual trash… no names mentioned… shows how “credible” this story is. Instead of reporting real issues, you start telling “tales”. Your rubbish paper just needs to be shut down. Waste of space!!!
PF = Poooor Fwitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Abash wizards —-Wicth craft sure! fellow christians lets be careful!! what more at presidential level…….???????
THE ARTICLE IS BASELESS AND BORING TO COMMENT ON PROPAGANDA RUPIAH BANDA IT SAKES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:-t
Hey, Daily Mail- This is not harry-potter. there must be some better news from zed, how about a topic like a minster created magic by making money disappear
when you look at the face of the boss doesnt it remind one of indoshi or wizard. how can someone be so ugly if not bcos of the bitter herbs he drinks and bathes in
heheh..pf ..there we go ..thats why the pact has failed..hahahaha
At first the story seems false but when you look at the characters of the leaders you start seeing the possibility of this being true. too many fontinis in pf.
Machunga has a concubine somewhere in Chilenje and he is talking about christianity….adultery is a serious sin
Ndefwayako umuti wa acquttal
For heaven’s sake ba Daily Mail spare us your comedy….is this story worth it.
rubbish moderation
Ndefwayako umuti wa acquital
Surely, How could sensible people print this as news in the 21st Century? Be serious at LT otherwise you shall still be irrelevant like ZambiaOnline has become.
This story can only be believed by Nyau dancers like RB who just left his village farm kumawa.
Load of rubbish!
:d wizards….
#21, I hope your grand father is as handsome! lol
Is this paper serious? When a dog bites a man, that is not news please unless a man bites a dog!
# 27 mule
This is zambia we are taliking about here, not buckingham palace or windsor.Witchcraft is alive and kicking.Just the other day LT reported some guy in livingstone drowning and missing in a prostitute’s poon.Yesterday an adulterous couple in monze stuck to eachother literally.So dont brush these reports by LT.This is zambia.
i get bored with PF issues,let me just travel to lusaka otherwise PF is a bunch of crooks hope one day will sit down as youths and think which party means well for us as zambians not this rhetoric opposition party PF-
It happens only in Africa.The main cause of this is that we have made politics to be a lucrative profession.These politicians do not feel the pain of paying abusing tax.They will continue practising voodoo for them to be adopted.
People should not be amazed at that even certain people who were involved in corruption were visiting witchdoctors for them to be acquited.We know these things.A judge had to pass a wrong verdict because this person was in vodoo from witchdoctors.Witchcraft is African culture which should be discarded if we are to progress as a continent.Even those who proclaim to be stauch christians are involved in witchcraft.How come they have been acquited of their cases when it is plain truth that they plundered our nation of its resources?the answer is witchcraft.
The Daily Mail and its Surrogate Govt media institutions have really sunk so low!!Figures why I havent bought Govt Gazettes in over 4years!! This kind of mediocre reporting is not worth paying 4. I would rather but a cut out of the puzzle from the street than the whole paper
MULOWE IWE WAISTING TIME!
The #1 witchcraft is the king cobra himself, you can see him with a snake sitting side by side consulting all the time.
Kaponya now nfwitis you have gone too far,no wonder you are ever bitter and violent,evil spirits.Kalos2121 what do you say about your ndoshi leaders no vision apart from ubuloshi.
Ba Kaponya now nfwitis you have gone too far,no wonder you are ever bitter and violent,evil spirits.Kalos2121 what do you say about your ndoshi leaders no vision apart from ubuloshi.we have always told you this party is totally useless
Myopic PF, nothing serious about this party at all. Honestly in this day and age would you want to let people of this calibre to run the country?
Time of desperation ask for desperate resorts. This is how low MMD and their papers have sank….they have run out of accusations against Sata, now they have started telling utushimi….hehe they are really desperate.
This story is trash and boring. I’m off to go watch paint dry.
What else do you expect from Banda Daily Mail apart form that?
this article only shows how low this papaer is nd its editorial staff.. grow up u *****s this is the 21st century..
DAILY MAIL SHOULD BE PROFESSIONAL IN THEIR REPORTING.THIS ARTICLE IS JUST A WASTE OF SPACE NO THIS BLOG.
Daily Mail is becoming like kachepa dotcom! A sensational article without substantial evidence? Even Fred Mmembe atleast tries to back up his nonsense with some basic facts. Incest, witchcraft, what nxt ba Daily Mail; unless you’re willing to publish names, don’t even bother!
Whats this ? Sounds like fear of the unknown to me.
Hahahahahahaha cheap propaganda. Ati this is journalism. Hmmmmm i can imagine.
Please Daily Delele. This is 21 st centuary. Lets talk CYBER and not WITCH whatever you call it.
Daily and MMD are full throttle to find some story to campaign PF. Machungwa in the story proves how this story was hatched. All rubbish. Don’t be fooled. “Don’t let them fool you, or even try to school you. You ‘ve got a mind of your own” are the wise words from Bob Marley.
ALL is rubbish an chase after wind. There’s nothing new on earth. what they are saying have been said before.
YAYA ubuloshi mu PF bwakunya kwati bwakwa number 50 lady gaga she is also a mfwiti
The idea of witchcraft in the 21st century maybe backward, but I don’t see anything wrong in exposing
the fact that some of your so-called future leaders may desparately be trying to use it to win power. Is
it not better that you have an idea of the philosophical underpinnings of your leaders’ thought processes?
People have always engaged in witchcraft practices (weather they work or not) from time immemorial. Stories about your potential leaders engaging in the same, should assist you in making informed decisions come elections this year.
#17 you are right to have rubbished the story as no names are written and it all seems propaganda. This is exactly how the Post writes its stories and you believe. Why? You will notice that the Daily has merely used the Post’s approach and so far its hurting you and many other PF bloggers here. If the attack was on RB by the Post using a story werein no names are mentioned, you would have celebrated and believed. Anyways, the MMD shall win the 2011 elections going by the voters register figures. Any losses they may incur in CB and Lusaka will be more than recovered just by Eastern province which has marginally less voters than Lusaka. Take time to read the voters figures ba PF, you will cry and dance pelete, njilili njili.
#54 IF PF SUED DAILY MAIL,WHAT FEASIBLE EVIDENCE CAN DAILY MAIL PRODUCE AGAINST PF IN COURT ? YOU KNOW WHAT, PEOPLE ARE MADE TO BELIEVE IN SUCH NONSENSE SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY FEAR THE UNKNOWN.BUT IN THIS CIVILIZED WORLD WE LIVE IN ,I AM AFRAID THE COURTS WOULD ASK FOR TANGIBLE EVIDENCE..PERIOD!!!!
THATS WHY POST IS AMONG THE TOP BEST 10 NEWS PAPERS IN THE WORLD.ONE WONDERS WHY PEOPLE GET OFFENDED BY OBJECTIVE JOURNALISM EMBRACED ONLY BY THE POST ACROSS ZAMBIA.
How can they say someone is “named” and then not name them?
#53.SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU BUT THIS TIME AROUND THE VOTER REGISTERS REFLECT THE CORRECT NUMBER OF REGISTERED VOTERS.THATS WHAT JUDGE FLORENCE MUMBA HAD TO ACHIEVE BEFORE YOUR RB ENGINEERED HER RESIGNATION.IN 2006,2008 THE MMD MADE SURE THAT OPPOSITION STRONGHOLDS DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH REGISTERED FIGURES AND SOMEHOW THEY MANAGED TO GET AWAY WITH IT.BUT THIS TIME,ALLTHE TRICKS HAVE BEEN CRACKED DOWN.AND IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL ,THE PEOPLE YOU USE TO RIG THESE ELECTIONS ,COULD BE ON OUR SIDE. HENCE….DONCHI KUBEBA!
Daily mail had nothing to write about Sata because he was in Solwezi. So they went to embattled PF rebel mps. Ok.Machungwa and his friends are looking for political sympathisers based on such reports cause they have found it hard in MMD pantu RB nabo asanga mu Mmd he’s giving them a boot. Afterall their boss was fished out of a hole
What else do you expect of the PF bunch when the PF appointed Secretary General Wynter KABIMBA is a self-confessed Atheist.
On “And another leader within the party is alleged to have been committing incest with his married daughter for witchcraft purposes in an apparent quest to give him good fortunes in his business and political pursuits… named leader has raised suspicions among his family members who are wondering how he has amassed a lot of wealth in a short period of time… family members said they are worried about his incestuous behaviour and have threatened to expose him” this is good time for the said family to stop being naive and take the PF leader to the Police for committing crimes against the child.
With this news, it is clear that PF is a bunch of joking satanists…
At least there is still time to register as a voter and I will be there to register and vote.
No black magic from Nyau dancers can change my mind to vote where I do not want. Tafibomba.
This sensational reporting is pathetic and will not move the country forward.
So pf is powerfu and popular, how can so many pipo be rushin 2 stand on its ticket 2 the extend of usin juju. So pipo ve made up zea minds Go viva sata go pf
we want change we trust…..abash witch craft….OH JESUS PROTECT US FROM DEVEL SATAN…WE PRAY TO THE ALMIGHTY GOD TO BE DELIVERED FROM THESE DEVELS…GOD BE WITH US
OH YES WE WANT REAL CHANGE,,,WE FIGHT FOR IT IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY AND JESUS NAME …GOD’S WILL SHALL PREVAIL,,,,INDEED WE WANT YOUNG LEADERS TO GOVERN THE AFFAIRS OF OUR COUNTRY,ZAMBIA
IN 2006 AND 2008 WE THE MAJORITY ZAMBIAN VOTERS PROMISED THAT COME 2011 GENERAL ELECTIONS WE ARE VOTING FOR CARING YOUNG LEADER,HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH….MAY GOD BE WITH US ALL.
If Sata never went for deliverance for the Cobra title and his liking for the Cobra snake,Zambia is in trouble,It is not about saying a
Prayer and kneeling down but about literally casting out the devil,Zambians pray hard and see.
THATS WHY THEY WON.JUJU
