The United Party for National Development (UPND) has condemned the Patriotic Front (PF) for what it terms as under hand methods of poaching its members.
UPND deputy spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa said that the party is disappointed with the PF for the tactics they are using to make the members of the former pact partners to defect to the PF.
Mr. Mweetwa claims that the PF is this afternoon in Choma district offering 100,000 kwacha to members of the UPND who will surrender the membership cards at a public rally.
He said that it is a pity that the PF is using corruption to gain support in the UPND stronghold. Mr. Mweetwa expressed his disappointment to QFM news this morning.
He said that it is also disappointing for the party that condemns corruption to be engaging in graft.
He said that this shows that if the PF forms government, they will be corrupt as can be seen from the type of politics they are practicing.
The argument some people have that Sata is the one that Zambia needs to bring about economic change is about the most depressing excuse for hanging a political noose around a nation. The thug you see in Sata is not an illusion, it is a reality.
iwe just accept reality pipo are running away from your ka small southern province controlled party.
Iwe ka john Phiri Sata-nyokoo…keep to you tribal politics in Kasama
My brother John Phiri open your eyes and see beyond regionalism. True, UPND was started by a Tonga and is currently led by one who happens to be one of the background founder members and chief financiers, but now some of us non-tongas have seen what this party stands for. At first I was also skeptical about this party just like you but along the way I saw quality in their MPs, Manifestos and also general behavior. It does not make sense for us to support tired politicians not just in terms of advanced age but also healthwise as if we were at gun point. Let us forget about our regions and tribes. They mean zero.What do we really want as a nation? Is it a leader who will lead us into the future or one who will keep reminding us how we fought for independence and how UNIP was organised et al
GAANKATA + TUJILI JILI (UPND +PF) = find x yes now they just heating each one’s head, I told the people of Zambia these are just like headless chickens. So why are they crying foul when Zambians gave them chance to work together and they failed because of GREED & SELFISHNES. Go RB GO take us to the promised land.
you ARE as foolish as MMD. Fool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Young man why cant you understand that most defections in politics are stage managed and pre rehearsed?
Desperation in the PF camp. Sata is a very wrong leader to lead Zambia even the post knows that. If PF is his personal party, what will happen if he wins elections? The people of Zambia will be his workers. I would rather have MMD than PF if waste comes to waste.
What kind of quality is in the membership of UPND for them to be easily bought with money?
UPND are really insulting their own members, and perhaps exposing the weak membership base that they have. Some matters are best dealt with internally.
SO ITS POSSIBLE TO BRIBE UPND MEMBERS? THEN THE PARTY IS VERY WEAK. ANYWAY, IT CAN BE SEEN BY THE WAY IN WHICH HH IS EASILY BRIBED BY MMD.
CORRUPTION EVEN BEFORE YOU BECOME IN GOVT. THIS IS THE REASON WHY PEOPLE SHOULD NOT VOTE PA FWAKA! PF…. VOTE HH!
Iwe Ka John Phiri F@#%K Â pamozi na Sata.Â
wina azalila chino chaka samuziba mu tonga, eat de money given ed kno what to do at end who can vote fo that UNIP FELLER?OLD OLD MADALA unless if did nt go school me i went and it imporsible fo me to him,if there buying am here let them com ed buy me,i wil humer de money but vote belongs to HH only.tell de pipo of choma to de money of that desperate PF BUT pakubokoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo HH ONLY.
But the reality is that every body is buying people except MMD which is using methods of intimidations in markets and bus stations. last week the UPND officials were in Mongu dishing out money to those poor souls. once again hypocrisy at it’s best play.
YOU CHAP KA HAMIYANZE LEARN TO SUPPORT BETTER LEADERS WHO HAVE GOOD STANDARDING WITH THE SOCIETY,,,THIS ELECTIONS MWAICHE WANDI H.H IS WINNING….VIVA UPND ,,,VIVA H.H 2011 STATEHOUSE
IMWE BA NGWANGWAZI BA PF AND SATA ,,,YOU MAN IS VERY VERY UNWELL….REPORTS THE POSTOOO W WHICH DIGS DEPPER,,,,MALUPONGO AND I ARE AT THE BED SIDE..THIS OCCURED AFTER FAILING TO CLAIMB UP STAIRS AT LOTTE HOUSE,,,HIS HEART IS SO BIG NOW THAT IT IS NEARLY COMING OUT.
HOW MANY AR U GOING TO BUY DESPERATE PF THIS YEAR NI HH CHABE ALL THE WAY NI PAKUBOKOOOO,WE SHALL SEE U. YO SATA WILL EVEN HAV NO TRANSPORT MONEY TO GO BACK TO MPIKA IF IT IS TRUE HE IS COMNG FROM THERE OR NIKU TANZANIA.
Cheap thinking,tribal national anthem of SATA/PF and RB/MMD will not tempt HH/UPND to lift the foot from accelaration and putting more heat for SATA/PF and RB/MMD,watch the space but keep your eyes on the ground NOT underground. Watch your addiction to sata/pf and rb/mmd you will soon be suffocated by VOTE HH 2011FORMULA. Clean,no insults,no manipulation,no propaganda and no re-cycling.
THIS IS THE TIME TO RETIRE THE TIRED POLITICIANS….VIVA BETTER LEADERS VIVA HAKAINDE ..H.H 2011 ,,THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA..MAY GOD BLESS OUR NATION ,ZAMBIA NOW AND FOR EVER.
the problem iis change. People have fear of the unknown. Zambians need a leader who will change individual attitude can then country will develop. Strict rules and law will help this country forge ahead. Sata tried it when he was in health and local government but he couldnt go further as he was serving under some short assol. He is not the best but he can help us change our attitude problem that has affected so much e.g corruption and ignorance on spending carelessly.
NOAH NI SATA .KUOMBOKA NI PABWATO -CHIMUKALIPE UPND.
VIVA SATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
NI BOTELA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 2011
FOR SURE SATA CAN’T BE A GOOD PRESIDENT,,HE IS VERY CHICK AND ARROGANT,,,VERY DICTATOR MAN..SO THIS TIME ,,IAM VERY BRILLIANT LEADER, H.H…VIVA H.H…WE ARE FOR YOU H.H
Who says Sata is chick and arrogant? Don’t judge books by their covers.But don’t be suprised to be ruled by the arrogant man next year. Melt yourself off in thin air if that happens.
SATA IS INTERESTED IN HOMESXUAL…WE ARE CHRISTIAN PLS WE WANT CHANGE ,,REAL CHANGE,,VIVA H.H
Pf has always been corrupt, tribal, gayish, childish and one man party. sata always says MMD riggs but they just win. BY DA WAY< IF THERE WAS ANYTHING LIKE RIGGING IN ZAMBIA THEN DO IT AGAIN SO THAT SATA DOESNT BECOME PRESIDENT, BUT I KNOW MMD JUST WINS.
I dont want to repeat what kabimba said, just stop dreaming Your UPND is divided thats what happens when you dont consult the grassroots today PF which has no money is buying Upnd members?????????????????????????please a vote for HH is a VOTE for RB.
So UPND members are so unprincipled and cheap that they can be bought witha 100pin, or iz that what Mweetwa thinks of them.
zambia forward,thie country is meant for youths,Sata and RB had thier time and its experin this year,please leave us the youths,they left you during independance,during multiparty now its during economic liberization leave us also we have a better candidate who can see us through,we had you RB and Sata we saw you through thats why we are suffering so let us do the same we no longer depend upon your insults and outdated plans,we are a youthfull country,not pipo like hamiyanze parading in a short in the streets of choma kicking a ball made of plastic papers no,we need milupi,chipimo not siulapwa he is a disgrace to the youths above we want to usher in someone to lead these youthfull thinking,our man HHHHH zambia forward
If Southern Province is UPND’s stronghold, why is Mweetwa worried over a 100pin? A membership card is not used to vote we use voters’ cards. Mweetwa’s worries tells you the story that UPND has realised that PF had for sure penetrated their so called strongholds. Just chill UPND, Southern Province cant make any person win an election. Sata is gona be president whether Southerners vote for him or not. But unfortunately after talking to a number of Southerner, be sure of the PF giving UPND a good run for their money in Southern Province….
So UPND members are that cheap, just 100pin? Anyway, the new ways are that you accept the money and do a donchi kubeba. You vote for someone else. So Hakaivotela Humwine should tell his followers to receive the Poor Finishers (PF) money but vote wisely. You kill two birds with half a stone.
Kays @19, you don’t know what Sata did at MOH. He destroyed medical stores beyond redeption by bringing in an underqualified inexperienced brother in law of his a late Mr. Martin Mulenga. There are other disturbances that he created like the so called boards which are being dismantled upto now as these were pararrell systems to MOH. All in all, he was a disaster at that ministry. He lack of sytematic approach in setting up checks & balances was the very reason people are still able to steal from MOH. You may want to know that Kapoko is implicated in funding Mr. Sata in 2008. Don’t drawn yourself in a false myth.
without even reading the article ..the tilte equal bull crap..stop crying and just campaign..looking for excuses before people vote is useless
black diamond alias got stole..by the stealer…
Psycho Sata is a maniac who lives in his own world dreaming of ruling Zed one day kwati yakwa wishi. Akaye teka kumwabo ku Tanzania. cheecolour.
Jay @ #28 you must be dead blind and deaf not know for sure that southern province is upnd strong. Continue hallucinating, it is allowed after all. What mweetwa is talking against is your corrupt way of campaigning as it reflects serious levels of moral rot in your ranks and desperation of the worst order. If you cant see anything wrong with bribing carders to support you then you do not deserve to govern this country and we will make it impossible for you to win.
@30- tell us another lie we know that one.
Top Je, I know Southern Province used to be UPND stronghold. Mweetwa is a half lawyer let him produce evidence that truly PF i buyin UPND cards… The chap is just murning the death of his party before its compltely dead. There are no excuses for losing members. Its just thei UPND that has no directions and pipo not only Southern have realised that a vote on UPND is a vote wasted, period…. Too bad but whatever u say or do the reality is that PF will this election…
If people genuinely believe in their Party, there is no way, they can accept to be bought off by another Party. Those who are accepting to be converted to PF have no trust in UPND as a party.
this Guy called Cornelius should just keep quiet, let him learn from the elders than just opening his mouth any how. Many you shuld start making money not always thinking you will be appointed. You must be contributing with sense. Everytime you comment, you come out like a very weak individual.
#30 Donchi Kubeba,
Kubeeba!! Bakeeshiba shani??? Zambia will soon be on fire because at every openning of a one’s mouth, tribe comes in. What is this about tribe regionalism, insults et al? Fellow zambians, lets be a team for this country to develop. Its one zambia, one nation. God gives leaders and even if you hate someone, as long as God wants him to be president, you will have to live with it.
Aisha lets eat the homos money and later teach them a lesson.Aluboteli masholi.WHo doesnt know that these chaps are thiefs.Me its only HHHHHHHHHH.Young blood not recycled freedom fighters.
@ Nepotist CORRUPT to the core;
If you don’t understand certain things, it’s better to shut up. The issue of CBoH was not started by Sata, but by the Donors worldwide, because the money meant for service delivery was being diverted for Political activities. The stabilisation of drug supplies by MSL was made possible by Sata’s prudent leadership, before it was temporarily destroyed by Dr Kashiwa Bulaya, where RHC Kits were being distributed by a wife of a Presidential candidate. You mention Kapoko, do you know Rupiah Banda’s image builders were accommodated at Best Lodge? Even if you hate someone so much, have some decencey and debate objectively. UPND sell yourselves and make sure your members do not defect, what do you call the slaughtering of animals by HH at rallies? MMD is…

it is very sad that PF has become this desperate. I thought such bad behaviour of PF was going to end in Western Province but it has now been extended to Southern Province and probably soon it will be heard of in all other parts of Zambia.
Anyway, this year UPND and HH need votes to form GRZ Administration whether PF likes it or…
I KNOW MWEETWA, THIS IS FEAR, THE OTHER DAY MMD SAID PF IS FERRYING CADRES, WITH ALL THE POLICE AT THEIR DESPOSAL WE COULD HAVE SEEN ATLEAST ONE BUS IMPOUNDED……UPND IS ACTING LIKE THE MMD, ALL THOSE FORMER UPND LEADERS CAN THEY BE PAID 100,000 PIN TO MOVE TO PF? THIS MWEETWA GUY IS ONE OF THE FEW UPND TRIBALIST WHO BELIEVE IN HINDERING PF IN SOUTHERN PROVINCE ON THE BASIS THAT PF LEADER IS BEMBA
Go on insulting each other…TONGAS VS BEMBAS….Kekekekeekekekekekeke, The pact failed between you guys coz of your selfishness…what Next BEMBAS trying LOZIS…..With Us Bane its Battle to Battle….Lets go on with the pact with Barotseland…Politics is a Gamble….We gambling with PF in Barotseland as long as everything will be in black n white as usual…you abrogate it,,,we battle…Continue attacking each other……PA Bwato !!!!!
#37 Peter Ngosa: You seem to be remote to grass root politics. You are speaking at high level not grass root level. In Zambia people get paid K10,000.00 to sell their voters cards. The person who gives K100,000.00 is viewed as a saviour. This is the reality on the ground. Us who have travelled around zambia to the remortest parts have witnessed this evil going on. Thats why the party that buys Chubuku, dishes out vitenge, bicycles,money,etc to bribe voters is the one that poor people feel cares for them. Poverty has reduced many people, and has made them loose principles. What PF is doing is what SATA used to do when he was in MMD, so he is now trying to buy voters in southern province. This party is more corrupt than MMD. from land allocation, to gays, selling land to taiwanese, etc
NI SANGWAPO MANJE. THE BIG TWO PF AND MMD SHARING UPND MEMBERS.
UPND REFUSED THE CLIVE CHIRWA OFFER, WAIT AND SEE WHEN CAMPAIGNS START AND THE CHARISMATIC PF LEADER GOES TO SOUTHERN.THERE WILL BE MASS DEFECTIONS. TRIBAL UPND IN TROUBLE THIS YEAR.
VOTE SATA COME 2011.
UPND – it is clear you are one and the same MMD and hence you cannot direct your campagn against them but you are using all your resources to destablise PF. What a shame. Zambians during your voting there are only two parties here – PF and MMD. PF seems to have stood the test of time this time around.
#!11vmashimba ba wiso pamo na banoko!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Taiwanese want their money. You promised them tht when you win you will give them land in Luapula, u didnt win and you are nt wining this year. wina azalila chino chaka.
#49 – Fortunately Taiwanese are not as silly as your assertion that an opposition party can promise them land before they are in power. MMD are have sold Zambia and still doing it.
HONESTLY SPEAKING THERE IS NO OPPOSITION PARTY THAT CAN BUY DEFECTORS IN THIS COUNTRY NOT EVEN UPND,THIS IS COMING FROM A PARTY FULL OF SOAR GRAPES…VIVA SATA
iwe # 28 learn to dimistfy your illusions. Southern Province cannot condon stagnance to old rhetora. They are not like us from Northen and Luapula where we are always divided. what is seen is a visionary people standing for a very noble cause who dont believe in recycling politicians. Thats why VJ and his uncle hadly walk freely and so is Major Chizyuka and Syacheye Madyenkuku. They have lamentably failed to penetrate this part of the country and so shall be PF. Thats a greatest Joke and delusional to think like that iwe Jay. Only the young paddle the boat just check at the Kuombaka mailo. Sata cannot. why cant you paddle yourselves as youths? learn the way HH is paddling ours and all that we do is support. VIVA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
john phiri sata_nyokoo.
#53 SO WHAT?? HAHAHA GROW UP
SATA U WILL LOSE MUDALA,LOSE CHABE.BA PF MUKAFWALILA AMABAMBA NA MANIKA KUMITWE BA FIPE.Buying votes u morons,WILL U EVER LEARN?Any way the Great Satanist and sapernt cobra retires from politics this year after plundering and looting our country for many decades.woooooo mwanya ba PF.VIVA MMD
Guys why votukanana?I thought this blogg is for civilized people? I urge all the UPND to sell their cards 100 pin can go a long way. Afterall, its not the voters card that casts the vote. I will send txts to all the UPND members, free money from sata but do the usaul come election day.
You are now feeling the heat.Nonsense.
Upnd you are an irerevant party in zambia nd you dont symbolise th views of many zambians who wnt change our mind is set 4 change if yo hh is bought by mmd to hell nd rot there vijua pabwato upnd +mmd agaìnst pf nd th pact of th people
no. 1 and 10 you are all i.d.i.o.t.s. Dont comment if you have nothing to offer.
Donchi kubeba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PF knows that MMD stage-manages defections from PF and that’s why they coined the phrase ‘Don’ch kubeba’. So if UPND is wise, let them eat the money and then ‘don’ch kubeba’. If the defections are real then UPND base is very weak, if not real then Cornelius you should apologise to your tribesmen for insulting their integrity!
Most of u guys who blog here are not here in Zambia. Wat is happening on the ground is that Zambians here at home want change.There was so much hope in the Pact and everyone saw that as a way to remove MMD from office but when UPND walked out of it, pipo got lost they do not no who is the next one who can be a much to MMD. after careful look most of the pipo have now relised that only PF can remove MMD so the defections.So wat this Mweetwa is saying it is not true but that pipo change.PF so far is the only much to MMD unlike UPND that is why everyone is jumping in the Boat including the southerners and westerners there are no K100pins but Change is wat pipo want.Wrong decisions My friend Mweetwa can be costly JUST find other means to compaign and stop attacking PF
The problem with you fake Zambian is that you talk without thinking, Read and analyze before you comment. I can see that education is really need and it will take us a generation if not two for us to really change your dull and soft little mind that are controlled by cheap propaganda. I have always said in my blogs that you should never believe what you read in these tabloids. Always read between the lines and for sure don’t think with your tribes but with your heads………….
SATA IS TOO SCARED TO VISIT MONGU….What a COWARD!
I come back to this blog after a long absence, only to find insults & tribalism being painted evrywhere. Stop it!
Bye! i go back to my busy & productive life style.
Love you all guys!
100pin per upnd to pf. We have budget of 100m, Tulebapwisha. 100pin to buy underfive hh?
#53 CHIMBWI IWE STOP THAT STUPIDITY AND GET DOWN TO ISSUES OR WILL FINISH YOU I.D.I.O.T. IF U AR MMD OR UPND JST DISCUS YO USELESS PARTY THAN HAILING INSULTS. WE SHALL SORT U OUT IF U CONTINUE.
UPND seems to go no where !!! , PF is really doing alot of ground work than ever before. It is gaining grounds in UPND strong holds and as well in MMD , Sata is political giant in this race , MMD messed up from their meeting in kabwe and is still healing within its party, I just dont know how much time they have to cut Sata whom I see heading for victory …. I like Sata’s politics
Ba PF dont deceive your selves. Southerners and Westerners will never vote for Sata because they are very intolerant to thuggery and thieving. And dont underate the Southern vote. It can tilt the scale to the extent that RB could beat Sata by more than 400,000. Thats why PF is buying UPND members.
VOTE FOR HH, EASTERN PROVINCE THE RACE IS BETWEEN RB VS HH, We are NOT mad to VOTE OUT a our own 74 years old and a UNIPIST and replace him with another 73 years old and aUNIPIST. We want REAL CHANGE , ITS HH or no Change.
To all those who support HH wake up. He will never be president in his life time. The real I.D.I.O.T is this Mweetwa and and His party. Including all those talking ill of Mr SATA. U know the boat is sailing to show. This time it is real. I look forward to all of you licking you smell dirty wounds come end of the year, Happy easter to all.
I HOPE LT WILL BE AROUND IN SEPTEMBER FOR THE POSTMORTAM OF THE ELECTION THIS YR IN WHICH PF IS WINNING
ZO-OONA UPND IS IN A CONFUSED MODE……AS AN OPPOSITON PARTY HOW DO YOU AIM YOUR ARSENAL AT YOUR FELLOW OPPOSITION PARTY INSTEAD OF THE CORRUPT MMD GOVT?….IYOOO NAMULUBANA BA MWANA HH………YOU HAVE NO DIRECTION….YOUR LEADER, HH NALUBANA…….WHITHER TO UPND….BYE, BYE POLIO………
when a marriage fails we fight over the kids
