GALLANT Youths of Zambia National co-ordinator Henry Mulenga has branded Mbita Chitala a liar for refuting reports that he advised President Banda to concede defeat to the Patriotic Front (PF) during the 2008 presidential elections.
Mr Mulenga said in an interview in Lusaka on February 23 that he was present when Dr Chitala advised President Banda to concede defeat to PF president Michael Sata during the 2008 presidential election.
He said Dr Chitala is the one who is telling lies because he (Mr Mulenga) was present at the meeting held at Government House on September 30 or October 1, 2008.
Mr Mulenga said he recalls that Lusaka Province chairperson William Banda was also present during the meeting.
He was reacting to a story in The Post edition of February 23 in which Dr Chitala denied asking the President to prematurely concede defeat to Mr Sata when he was trailing by 80,000 votes.
Mr Mulenga said it was disrespectful of Dr Chitala to call the President a liar when he knows that what the head of State had said was true.
“It is insubordination for Dr Chitala to call the head of State a liar,” Mr Mulenga said.
Mr Mulenga said he was part of the MMD team that was working with Dr Chitala, who was the national campaign executive secretary, at the totalling centre at Government House.
He said when Dr Chitala saw that the Electoral Commission of Zambia was taking too long to announce the final results and that Mr Banda was trailing Mr Sata, he allegedly asked the team to accompany him to where President Banda was waiting for feedback.
“When he looked at the block figure and saw the deficit between Mr Banda and Mr Sata, Dr Chitala tried to persuade Mr Banda to concede defeat. I was there and Mr William Banda and other people were also there.
“We did not agree with him that Mr Banda should concede defeat and we went outside to call the campaign manager, Mr Vernon Mwaanga, who was at the campaign centre in Rhodes Park. I personally called him and told him what Dr Chitala was trying to persuade Mr Banda to do,” Mr Mulenga said.
He said Mr Mwaanga directed the team and Mr Banda to wait for the Electoral Commission of Zambia to announce the final results.
“We waited until results from the last three provinces, which included Eastern and Western, where the MMD was strong, were announced. The MMD rapidly caught up and even surpassed the PF,” Mr Mulenga said.
He advised Dr Chitala to be honest enough and tell the truth.
“Dr Chitala should be honest enough and should not deny what he said,” Mr Mulenga said.
[Zambia Daily Mail]
What GALLANT Youths of Zambia? Just typical of MMD sponsored and supported NGOs! This chap is not different from Zambia Daily Mail and Times of Zambia – MMD sponsored and controlled media!
This is very st.upid. so what? if it was Chitala’s opinion, so what? forseke wena, Mulenga you have no issues to raise, and i wonder why news agents even report this
You lot sicken me! Why don’t you learn from Egypt, Tunisia and Libya? Icigumula cileisa, mwapya bonse. A president is not a f.u.c.king god, he can, and he infact, lies.
The chap is a typical sycophant.

It is tru what you have said! What gallant youth when this we can see for our selves that this is a MMD sponsored SHIKULU?
Insoni e bunthu bane. Anyway we can’t blame you. Ni sebana wikute! Ukusheta bane! lol
There is great respect in being quiet sometimes. This Mulenga in trying to defend his master, he has exposed himself that after all his NGO ( Gallant Youth watever you call it) is not a genuine NGO but some MMD group pretending to do justice. How do you explain his statement that he was part of Chitala Team.
I read Chitala’s story yesterday in the POST and I must say it was an emotional sad story, but the big question comes to my mind is why can’t a 50+ year old man with a PhD fail to earn a living and has to rely on boot-licking the Govt machinery to earn money or make his business work? What is the problem really with our system. Is the education stupid or what?
This guy is a PhD holder and he should not rely on government help to make it in life. This makes me question the quality of PhD holders in our Govt system and their ability to deliver. Seems like they are in their to just make ends meet and not really put their degrees to work.
Diclaimer: I Have not verified his PhD status. He could be a Medical Doctor. Certainly not Honorary
So where is the argument here? Oh yah, so they had to consult the chief rigger VJ and find out what he was doing with his spinning machine….The old man’s tricks have been exposed. How could VJ who is said to have been in Lusaka in Rhodes to be the one to know the actual outcome of the electoral results? I am smelling a rat here. Ba VJ this year is different. Dont force us to take the Arab way lest you will also be pursued. Africa is changing. Zimbabwe is in the process of staging a revolutionary protest against the strongman Mugabe. Anyway, with the pact in disarray MMD’s victory will be genuine so I may not even waste time to protest. I will concede defeat on behalf of the fragmented opposition. I am now switching my interests to soccer following Kalu’s landslide victory in Sudan.
@Papa J, DBZ recalled its loan, they closed his bank and they have denied him a licence for his radio station. We are dealing with ruthless characters here. If only our thickos of leaders could separate politics from business, Zambia would be Eden.
This will just degenerate into “he said she said” scenario. Looking at how the MMD govt behaves, I am more inclined to believe chitala
By the way what is this gallant youth thing?
So it means MMD lost and RB had to wait for Internatinal Tricks before announcing the results? Ouko, 2011 yashupa
What is surprising me is that these issues happened in 2008, why are they been discussed now? The other day i saw Derrick Chitala for sure he has been fixed, he looks miserable. RB should not fix people like that. i feel pity for him.
Im waiting for Senior Citizen (Veteran) aka BK to come out and disect Mbita, just wait till he brings out all the data about Mbita,all mmd caders will be unleashed on him. Gregory Chifire is yet to make a statement,so will Mumbi and the other NGO’s
Whilst youths in other countries are protesting and leading the political and economic directions of their countries, Zambian youths are defending nonsensical, corrupt and useless political leadership. Is it really a sin to be Zambian? Why do we have more fools than sane people in our motherland? Takwaba fye ubupuba bwa so!
This is the most stupid story i have ever read. come on guys, there are better things to report on than a boot licking, stinking NGO of the NOCE or ZIMT type. Even the reporter seems dull to me. You mean you cant question and probe such chaps further rather than have them give you an annoying headline comment?
Ay NGO that supports RB is given so much prominence just like tuma tuntemba pastors aligned to a thief FTJ.
A chief can shout forward with RB, that will be great news, but if the same chief supports Mr. Sata, he is branded a threat to security.
African politics clouded in vengence. Tata Lesa twalomba iseni Bwangu.
You PF Cadres always amuse me. You are forgeting that a fallen Priest in the name of Simon Kabanda is going round the country preaching violence and misleading Chiefs like Senior Chief Mwamba, all in the name of NGO but propagating PF agenda? Just be factual as Mulenga is merely telling the truth on what happened. You have been praising Chitala and when Mulenga says the truth on the matter, then he is an MMD Cadre and has exposed himself. Sorry Guys, whether you like it or yes, MMD is winning with landslide if not it will be the mighty UPND. These two parties have a staight forward agenda to develop Zambia than your useless PF.
#7, you are right. This guy(Chitala) is not telling the whole truth about the reasons for the closure of his bank. The BOZ advised that they tried to engage with the shareholders of that bank(non deposit taking) but failed for over a year. Like many pipo in Zambia they want to use politics to fence poor performance in their banks. Can he dare the BOZ to reveal the truth about why his ka poorly managed bank was closed? Much as politics should be separated from business, even politics should not be used by politicians to cover poorly managed businesses. This guy(Chitala) is not clean enough to be in government, it’s good that he is out.
So who the f**ck do you think you are iwe mulenga? I think you are very dull you are even saying you were there when Chitala said it?Uli chipuba
“Insubordination!”
These are the muntus you want to continue speaking English?
Twapenga!
How many people were there?
This thing grows by the day.
The REAL MMD readies itself for attack on the lazo and his boss.
lol, it must be an embarrassing job being an editor of Times or Zambia. Running stories from noise makers as long as it’s in the favor of RB. Gallant Youths ke ke ke ke, if they were gallant trust me, gallant would not be in their name but deeds ha ha haha
Any NGO that supports RB is given so much prominence just like tuma tuntemba pastors aligned to a thief FTJ.
A chief can shout forward with RB, that will be great news, but if the same chief supports Mr. Sata, he is branded a threat to security.

oops it’s actually Daily Mail – same control anyway
As usual, we have clowns and puppets rushing to defend RB even wen we know tha RB is a spineless liar!!!
This time there won’t be votes from western province for mmd. Let’s wait and see how the RB will panic during elections.
I feel no pity for Chitala. He had no mercy in refusing to pay former GTV employees what was due to them he plundered all the resources that the company left now it has dawned to him that people are not fair. Well thats exactly what the former GTV employees felt like when he denied them their money. It doesn’t even matter who is telling the truth just continue screwing yourselves over.
Ya chabipa ba chitala zoona, ol i know is even his beatifull concubines from ndola have since deserted him. Life can be so unfair sumtimes. I really pit mbita. However Mulenga should know that every dog has its day and his will surely come. If mmd wins the polls we shall give mulongoti only a space of three years and believe me you, poverty would have done justice on him. Such is zed politics, just ask VJ what FTJ did to him that excerbated his illness. Lindilani!!!!
I thought NGO’s were supposed to be non partisan. What was mulenga doing in the MMD camp during elections?
Yes, he is a lier. He got money from Ghadaffi and wanted ghaddafi to be president of Africa. Where is Ghaddaffi now?
he who digs a pit fall in it look now wahts happening they will fall in the ditch the dag 2 yrs ago shame we will wait and see am a spectator.
derrick chitala is a failure in business let him go and teach at some private unza. he is a shame everything he touches collapses ask gtv were he owes us subscribers millions and up to now we are still with his kit we bought at high price. cash for africa is another sad story. derrick humble yourself and ask RB to redeem you otherwise you will start begging for fuel money mu kabwata as you used to do in your beaten old toyota corrola and chi benz cha yellow

Dr Who – Good memory, my man(woman?)
Are we given the impression meetings are held without minutes being written to prove who said what or is it the law of the jungle operating here. Please stop wasting our time we dont need to be debating about who said what if proper systems of operation are put in place.
Gallant Youths? Which ones? Ba Chitala babufi!!:-w Sour grapes as usual. Bambi ati, “I made him President”. What losers!
Never call a head of state a “liar”: there goes the main problem Zambia has. There is a confusion between respect and fear. To illustrate due to fear educated ministers such as Dr (s) Musokotwane, Chotuwo and all, cannot advise the president over any issue. Had they had respect AND NOT FEAR, they would be free to tell the president over many wrong deeds of the current government. I believe our culture for respect has wrongly mixedup with fear; hence allowing leaders to take advantage of us knowing too well that we would not be able to confront them over their misdeeds for fear of being labelled “unrespectiful”. Even if they s*h*i*t on your table, they are leaders and they aught to be respected!! If we cant change this mentality, we can never improve.
Hee batutana batutana eee bango na bango….they are fighting themselves eeeeeee great.
#1 Zambians,PLEASE avoid and stop the mentality of supprting things blindly just for the sake of supporting an individual without direct benefit to you of ECONOMICAL,SOCIAL AND GOOD GOVERNANCE. If you believe DR MBITA CHITALA let others enjoy their own judgement NOT to believe him. OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE GROOMING YOURSELF INTO ANOTHER GADAFFI who wants only hi8s word to be tsken as truth,anyone else’s voice and thinking invites dearth.
Needing help.What is Madame Edith Nawakwi’s comment on Gadaffi’s brutality of his own fellow citizens and RB’s un-democratic tendency,because out of desire for big connections and hate for other oposition leaders she supported Gadaffi for AFRICA leadership and RB for ZAMBIA Presidency
Ofcourse, this useless Mulenga is an MMD cadre and sponsored sycophant.
# 7 Papa J, Zambia has very few jobs for highly qualified personnel, most educated people resort to using business acumen to survive. Mr. Chitala seems not to have luck and business acumen to be self employed and well remunerated through his own initiatives. Politically he is not a good bootlicker either!
# 9 Kwandangala, yes these thickos have no heart to separate business from politics and it has happened to many intelligent people, it has also contributed to the shying away from politics of most successful business people in Zambia. The politicians are all suffering from a severe case of narcissitic personality disorder. They simply want to serve themselves with our hard earned tax funds!
WE NEED A PACT!
This is a stinking toilet acrobatic by a proxy of The one and only monkey toilet. You sometimes wonder the extent to which some people will bend for Bwezani muzungu to ravage. Ati sebana wikute Mulenga we mbwawe! Chitala may have his own shortcomings but it does not rocket science to see that for once in his life he is telling the truth here. It is Banda who is lying and whether his goons like it or not, their monkey pit latrine in puking stinking lies about Mbita. What manner of shameful conduct is this, from the entire head of state sure behaving kwati kaice.
#40(Her Ladyship)
I thought you now know that there was NO PACT in the first place.Did you get the rantings of Doug Syakalima against your favourite PF? It was the confirmation from the highest rank of UPND that Pact is/was history.
I am not a fun of RB but Chitala has a history of being a rat and a sale out, is he not the one who implicated Dean Mungomba in treason issue! Musiyeni avutike he is very silly that snake!!
Dereck Chitala always fitala
Amangalo pa zed.
what carp organisation is this..you chaps are wasting your time ..instead of getting into sku..u busy defending silly lies..
#7 Pap J,
Please ask Chitala if he has a PhD and from which University. Some of these online qualifications people get are not worth the paper they are written on. Chitala does NOT have a PhD to the best of my knowledge just like Chishimba and Chiluba. Please let us respect those who have earned their PhDs by differentiating them fro crap such as Chitala and Chiluba. I hope I have made you understand the truth. Its not what you call yourself but what you know. Chitala might have his BA or whatever but he does not reason like a PhD holder – far from it.
Well since people call him Dr Chitala, I though he was either a PhD holder or a medical Doctor. I guess now he joins the list of fake Doctors, FTJ, Cosmo Mumba, Chishimba, Nevars Mumba and now Chitala. Then this explains his current status to blame other people for failure to make progress in life and still dependent on Government resources like a person on Welfare in the west or somebody on child grant support. I think he should move on than moan in the POST the way he did yesterday, he is over 5O, please somebody remind him
NO 47 – at least Chitala has a BA but Chiluba dont have even a grade nine certificate
Stupid story
There is time for everything,God is very annoyed with election riggers,first it was ftj.on tricks second mulongoti was over heard when he went to clear his former office at works saying;its ok after all the Bemba chap has been winning in all the previous elections! Its now mulenga wampanga highlighting the role VJ. Next (soon) it will be VJ himself confessing before dying. Thanx daily mail keeping on covering them. I feel Derrick chitala did not know about rigging thats why genuinely as a messanger delivered the good news to RB. why is gangster Tekere william banda quiet?
gallant dull youths..
USELESS
Foolishness at its best. What’s the moral of the story?
Gallant fimofimo you can do better by concentrating on the social needs of the youths than participating in politics without direction. Whats Your take in all this as a youth?
what is every blogger saying????
Derrick, now formally known as Mbita (having discarded, “Derrick”) is a chap who is too clever for his own GOOD. His is indeed a graduate of UNZA, as to whether he has PhD, I may behind times, but he may possibly have, as last contact, he was still doing something at UNZA(i.e. just before birth of MMD or there about). Of course was at the forefront of MMD, but what happened thereafter, left much to be desired, esp when I think he was Sec. gen. Lots of people who were his friends & genuine democrats were hounded out of MMD. However once he lost favour with FTJ & people like VJ, it has been down hill for him. Word of advice Mbita, “learn to be humble & try not to forget the rungs that you step on, on your way to the top, as you will need them on the way down!!!”
GALLANT Youths of Zambia National co-ordinator Henry Mulenga? Another Lufwekelo, who survive out of lying against innocent people like Chitala. These accusations against Chitala brings revolutions like the ones happening in Libya and Egypt.
Henry Mulenga please stop the nonsense!!!!!!!!! Do something productive. This really puts me off.
I can not be surprised that last sunday the GALLANT Youths of Zambia National co-ordinator called Henry Mulenga went to Church and gave a testimony for what God has done for him!!!!!!
This is very very unfair.
President Banda please stop this nonsense, you can not punish Chitala like a CHILD? THis is what you did to the POST’s Zambian Airways and Mahatani chairma of FBZ.
God will burn you in HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHITALA WE BE ARE WITH YOU, FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS AS EVERY REAL ZAMBIAN, WE
WERE THERE WHEN YOU STARTED AND FOUNDED THE MMD WITH OTHER YOUNG GUYS AT THE TIME, BY THEN BANDA WAS LICKING DR KAUNDA’S SHOES NOW HOW DARE HE BEHAVES
LIKE A BAD BAD FATHER, HE IS SPOILING ONLY CHITALA’S LIFE BUT OF MANY OTHER
PEOPLE’S LIVES, BY SELLING ZAMBIA’S RICHES TO THE CHINESE, WHERE ARE THE ZAMBIANS
RIGHTS. BANDA THE EARLIER YOU GO OUT OF STATE HOUSE THE BETTER FOR ALL
REAL ZAMBIANS. GO CHITALA GO GET BACK WHAT HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM YOU.
BY THE WAY I DON’T BELONG TO ANY POLITICAL PARTY AM JUST ZAMBIAN WHO LOVE
THIS COUNTRY.
this chilufya sata micheal has given mmd and its supporters sleepless nights, if mmd think that he is nothing and a lightweight why use chanda chimba,edward mumbi, chifire, sampa kelvin to mention a few leave the old micheal alone and go for young hichilema.then u ll get the shock of yo lives
