Opposition UPND Chairman for Youths Likando Mufalali has charged that Zambian youths have now realized that President Michael Sata duped them during his election campaigns.

Mr. Mufalali who is also Senanga MP said in an interview that the recent reaction of youths at the Showgrounds in Lusaka where President Sata was booed is a confirmation that youths have now realized that they were duped.

He said the promise by the PF to create jobs in 90 days has now backfired.

Mr. Mufalali predicted that demonstrations and resentment towards the PF will heighten as more youths realize that they were given fake promises.

He said the almost one year of the PF rule has exposed the party’s inadequacies in managing national affairs.

Mr. Mufalali observed that God had allowed Mr. Sata to win the last elections in order to expose his shortcomings in running the country.

  1. I get persecuted just because I have chosen to marry someone foreign, white, more enlightened and smarter. Zambians should learn to give credit where it’s due If I were your sister and I married Nick as I am going to, Would you criticise me,? Knowing you will have mixed race Nephews and nieces? NO that’s what I thought!

    I think It is prudent to analyse articles as they come and not throw tantrums and disagree on most often educative intelligent comments which I comment and are intended to seek Justice and the truth
    Not liking my country takes nothing from the fact that I support Zambia in some things it does, I don’t have to like everything, about it
    Like I said Zambians are nice people but Individually Zambians are arrogant as shown here

    Thanks

    • Its the first time I seem to have gleaned some sense from you Mushota! The only part of you I can’t seem to comprehend is your attitude towards Zambia. It comes over as if you were born in the Uk… Be proud of Zambia, where is not for Zambia, you couldn’t have met this white Nick you bath yourself in glory every time you drop an opinion on here.. Be advised as well to have a plan B, Because statistics out their don’t make good reading( mixed race relationships don’t endure the test of time). Arguing from a Western perspective and with massive years of experience in the diaspora!

    • Mushota .
      You would not write the trash you write in any other forum, you would be crucified and even prosecuted for preaching racial hatered. Your inferiority complex is beyond comprehension. Please grow up and start showing the intelligence your education should have conferred on you. We all have these relationships and qualifications that you claim to have but we respect our places of origin. Respect starts with self and what you are doing is self denial among people who most likely treat you like you are an *****.

    • Mushota, how’s your comment related to this article? Your excitement about marrying a white guy is your own way of expressing your inferiority complex. Do you you how many other men and women of colour that blog here are married to white people and do not find it reportable to this readership? Grow up girl…

    • A man is a man dear Mushota – what matters is the love and the relationship you will develop. It is misconception that marrying a white man is better than a black man and vise versa. Marriage is as a result of effective communication. Pray that you will communicate effectively in order to build your love – otherwise you will regret the day you made the decision to marry a man simply because he is white. Wishing lots of fun in your marriage and receive my congratulations!

    • You note some confusion, the article and what Mushota is talking about are totally different. If this the way education can do to someone, then one would rather be uneducated bbut rich. Some one has some confusion in the head. Some educated people become mad as a resresult oof what they have learnt, failing to coordinate life and living well. 

  2. BA LIKANDO, LEARN TO IDENTIFY PROBLEMS AND PROVIDE SOLUTION. WHAT HAS BEEN DONE WRONG AND HOW IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE? THIS IS WHAT IS EXPECTED FROM YOU. WHAT DO YOU THINK PF SHOULD DO TO ADDRESS THE WEAKNESSES YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED? THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UPND AND NAREP. CRITICISE CONSTRUCTIVELY COZ EVEN IF YOU COME IN TO POWER (UNLIKELY CIRCUMSTANCE) YOU WILL NOT OFFER ANYTHING TO THIS COUNTRY. THE GOOD THING IS BA SATA HAS TAKEN OVER THE COUNTRY PEACEFULLY SO LETS MAKE SUGGESTIONS ON HOW BEST WE FEEL IT SHOULD RUN.

    • I am 99% positive that you are another tribal blogger who is part of the lot killing our nation. Likando has identified the problem that the PF Govt is a farce and came to power through deceipt. There are no solution for that other than for PF to own up and step aside and allow people with interity to rule the nation. NAREP has not said anything new about the state of the nation or the intimidation of political opponents. 
      I am not from the Southern province but I am loathing tribal bloggers with a passion, be it Tonga, Lozi or Bemba. You are all sick in the head.

  3. Likando you are talking nonsense.You must remember that the MMD did so much damage that the PF still has to undo before anyone can see what the pf is doing.Honestry there is no country in the world which has managed to create jobs for everybody,not even the USA with all the money it has.The UPND has no direction and no manifesto for anyone to look at.Dont talk from a baseless point.Give the PF solutions on how to sort out the problems the MMD created insteady of yapping.

    • Moonga Mulanga – I agree with you, the MMD did a lot of damage to Zambia but the PF is taking it to another level. You must be blind if you can’t see the mess that the PF is adding to the MMD mess.

    • yes, otherwise every time it will just be blames on govt,when problems are self inflicted through un planned families……

  4. Mufalali you are spot on. God allowed PF to rule so that we can see the fake promises and confusion. Go to watchdog web site and see the new increment for H.E. Pres Sata. Just confirms what Mufalali has said and vindicates Chanda Chimba III.

  5. Yebo Observer, you are very right, UPND should point out at what the PF is failing the youths and provide solutions to the weeknesses, just saying PF has duped the youths does not in any way amount to anything, infact it only shows that these guys in UPND like reading text books on economics and then go to some radio stations and cite what is in the books instead of figuring out what is really the problem that the youths are facing… Problems are there yes and they have to be sorted out and i believe the PF will sort them out…. It is a matter of time. The problem we have is that the MMD did so much damage to the economy of this country.

  6. Am back. First of all @mushota, you never cease to me. If you hate this country so much, how come you dont concetrate on what goes on in scotland and pass your neferous and silly coments there? The truth is, you are a servant holed in a dogs kennel and hallucinating to be a master holder with Acca, Cima and persuing a Phd and yet you dont even know the former president of Ghana? My foot. As for CNP we warned you and never listened, so just shut and enjoy PF Mismanagement.

  7. UPND should do the following if they want to rule:

    1. Change yo Party presido coz u have tried him (HH) several times and he has failed, he has failed to get rid of his tribal tag, he doesnt kno politics. 2. Try to penetrate in to Bemba dominated areas to show that your party is not just southern based and you are ready to work with anyone. I want to tell you that these Bembas have spread all over Zed especially urban areas like C/B and Lsk where most of the votes come from.They entered through C/B coz of copper and have spread all over Zed, so if you use tribal politics you will never rule. In addition to their Luapula and Northern, they have also dominated Lsk and C/B.

    • how many times did sata try?…how many bemba guys are on the cabinet? the first 2 points are not true..i agree with the last one..

  8. cont. 7

    3. You should realise that for people to vote for Sata it means hes very popular(huge following). If HH continues to fight him in the way he is doing he will find it very difficult to win the hearts of those who support Mr Sata. Mazoka had issue based campaigns thats why he almost won.

    Lastly, there are more Bembas participating in politics than other Tribes and am afraid this dominance may continue coz if PF wins it will be Bemba, MMD wins its Bemba, Chipimo wins its Bemba. Why cant other tribes also participate and have a fighting spirit unlike just believing in inheriting parties.

  9. THE YOUTHS WERE NOT DUPED BY SATA AS ALLEGED BY HON MUFALALI ITS THE YOUTH WHO DUPED THEMSELVES. KING COBRA MERELY ASKED FOR THEIR VOTES AND IT WAS UP TO THE YOUTH TO HAVE CRITICALLY EXAMINED WHAT SATA WAS PROMISING GOING TO BE WORKABLE OR NOT IN 90 DAYS. BUT AS USUAL THEY WENT TO SLEEP WHY BLAME THE OLD MAN. DONT BLAME THE OLD GUARD BUT BLAME YOURSELVES YOU HAVE EYES YOU DONT SEE YOU HAVE EARS YOU DONT HEAR. LET THE BIG RULE HE FOUGHT FOR THE PRESIDENCY AND DESERVES IT. CHAPWA.

  10. PLEASE PLEASE …… WE AS FORMER ZAMTEL EMPLOYEES THE PRESIDENT PERSONALLY PROMISED US THAT HE WAS GOING TO GIVE US BACK OUR JOBS ONCE PF IS VOTED IN TO POWER….WE WERE HAPPY THEN AND DID ALL WE COULD BUT ALAS….PF IS IN POWER -ZAMTEL WAS REPOSSESSED ..BUT UP TO NEAR THERE IS NOT EVEN A SINGLE WORD COMING FROM OUR PRESIDENT MR MICHAEL SATA OVER HIS PROMISE…….THIS IS NOT POLITICAL BUT WE ARE REQUESTING MR HICHILEMA HAKAINDE TO KINDLY CALL MR SATA AND FIND OUT ON OUR BEHALF…COZ I FEEL WE WERE DUPED…..PLZ HH FIND OUT ON OUR BEHALF…

    • Looks like the list of groups of pipo who were duped into voting for PF is growing longer! Catholics (at least the non-bembas), UNZA students, youths, street vendors, and now xzamtel workers!  I can’t even waste my energy feeling sorry for such pipo, your choice, your consequences. 

  11. kind of too pronto(early) to be expecting everything to change in just 1 year .come on lets be realistic here.Lets give it some tym pliz and continue hustling as a country. te amo zambia.

  12. he,he,he @ pf pf doubter, and you honestly believed that? what was going through your minds people hmmmm honestly!!!!!!!!!!

  13. Firstly i want to appreciate all the contributions on this site. I want to appeal to to all pf supporters that its high time you stopped blaming MMD for PF’s failler to improve the standard of living of the Zambian people. For how long are you going to continue accusing the died elephant for the destruction instead of start to build. PF go to work & stop politicking, its your time to prove to the Zambian people that we didnt make a mistake to put you in government. HH is coming up & will just happen to be the next moses for Zambia.

  14. if u tongas continue insulting bembas and pipo who voted for sata.i can assure you that no one will ever vote for hh.you mufalali you never voted for sata.but why talk on behalf of youths who voted for sata.as for us the youths who voted for sata we are not job seekers un like you un educated cadres who depend on jobs from government.don’t expect the pf government to find a job for you and even send you to university.pf has said those who can’t afford university let them go to zns.but you opposition you refused like you can even pay for them at college.to hell upnd, to hell hh.

  15. Young people were certainly DUPED. This Sata should be kicked out as soon as possible before our country runs into a DUNGEON.

  16. @ 1 Mushota Marrying a foreigner is supposedly a private and personal affair. Indeed, there are many Zambians married to spouses from other races. But why, in your case, does this have to be your pre-occupation in a public domain????

  17. HH hold the bull by its horn & continue giving hope to the suffering Zambian masses. Zambians stop been petty be obective as you handle national matters. The issue of been what tribe should come to an end if Zambia is to development. Therefore, we call on HH & UPND to find time to tour the whole Zambia interect with all Zambians. We know that some incompetent pathetic fools are just afraid of HH & they know as soon as HH is elected president their thieving tendencies will come to an end. Zambians wake up stop being used by grade 7 who have no agenda for the country but just to bring divisions. I call on the Lusaka, Central, Eastern, CB, Luapula, Southern, Northen, NW, Western & Muchinga to Unite for a bettter Zambia.

  18. What has PF done that is praise worthy since they came to power? Is been lies,divisions,witch hunts,persection,tribunals,secret trips to hospitals abroad,loss of crediblity on the international scene…What has Sata done to derserve the salary increment he has secretly given himself?PF supporters are in serious need of a brain surgeon.

    • You stop using the name Bwalya. A Bwalya can never speak about PF like this wafiking malabishi. You southerner! Tonga bull…..

    • mr.Tembo please leave Bwalya alone. What happened to freedom of expression? I don’t see any insults in what he has said. As for you, well, you are a tribal bigot, far worse than what Bwalya words.

  19. NO. 21 NATASHA

    LOOK,
    WE HAVE GIVEN YOU FREE ADVICE ON HOW UPND CAN WIN ITS MERELY HARD WORK AND NOT INSULTS. IF INSULTS WILL MAKE SOMEONE ZED PRESIDO THEN LETS WAIT AND SEE.

  20. Mmmmm…its really unfair and too early to start saying PF has failed.Ok..if anyone was given a chance to develop this country from the damage it had,can it be done in a yrs time?Lets be realistic pipo.We youths never made any mistake,even if HH,Magande,Chipimo etc had worn we were not going to see anything putting in consideration the damaged that had been done by MMD.Lets be seriuos and realistic pipo.

  21. Where are we going with our politics? UPND is as Tonga/Lozi as PF is Bemba (even this UPND youth chairperson’s name suggests the criterion used to elect him as such), so you are both behaving like bakolwe…

  22. The PF Government shall continue to open new avenues of employment for as many jobless persons as possible, including through the security of land tenure; access to credit; training of labour, direct labour contracts and promoting entrepreneurship.

  23. Senseless opposition will kill UPND. If UPND is the party to look to vote for in 2016, let them give solutions to the identified problems. We voted for PF because we were promised more money in the pockets, there were no promises for voting for UPND only a slogan Zambia Forward, Forward. Where? Put Tongas superior to other tribes? No ways!

    If UPND need to rule, it needs to accommodate all Zambians wether Tonga BULL or Not. This hate for Bembas and those that voted for Sata, will land HH into history of Bantustans.

    And for you honorable Mufalari, yes youths seems were duped, Now whats is the solution?

  24. Meaningful Zambians let us all call for unite in our mighty country. We dont want any leader to use any tribe in our country to stay in power & bring divisions. Tongas & Bembas & Ngonis & all Zambians tribes let us unite & stand for our only one Zambia. If Sata has failled it is him who who has failled not a tribe & if people want HH for a better Zambia it is the Zambian people who want a change. It is selfish people who continue argueing on the national issues beside on Tongas or Bembas. Zambia is for all Zambians, Zambia needs good leader who is a Zambian, not a comedian, ukwa.

  25. This opposition politician conveniently fails to own up and say that his party sponsored the youths! We cannot be duped, bwana.

  26. Valid point! These are issues we expect from the opposition and not that BITTERNESS from the UPND top leadership. My advise to Likando Mufalali ; stand as UPND President to replace HH. We need sanity in the oppostion.

  27. Those asking pipo to advise PF is like getting water from a very dry bone. PF thought they knew it all. \They have pretended from the word go that they know it all and they had the panecea for solving our problems. they lied to everyone including GOD even at swearing ceremony where Sata said he will develop Zambia within 90 days. He never said within 2yrs BUT 90 days mambala. He lied his way to State House.

  28. You bloggers, HH will definitely win elections in 2016 by a very big margin of about 52% because cows will vote.

  29. @ 31Mpangula, so you are telling us that HH knows it all better than Sata? The answer is no. In fact HH has no followers to write home about. they all stink with cowdung and mabisi.

  30. Iwe Mpangula Mputyu @31, you were the loudest shouting Pa Fyono before the elections.Busy insulting us who were voices of reason.So shut up and fasten your belt pantu there is 4 years more of Pathatic Foo.lishness.

  31. HH, Milupi and Sakwiba have joined hands hoping for a 50 + 1%, to rule! Does it suprise anyone that Sakwiba who openly accused HH of being tribal has joined the bandwagon?

  32. @ OBERSEVER1, You are very right & thanks for that advice that goes to all development loving Zambians. Indeed its hard work that will earn UPND the oppornuty to lead Zambia. & i say to HH go west, go east, go North & go South. Let the Zambian people see your agenda for this sinking government under the Paya Farm(PF). Let people see what solutions UPND government will offer to bring the suffering of many Zambian to history. Otherwise, am beginging loving & appreciating HH’s efforts. One Zambia One Nation.

  33. @ Catholic nun, if cows who have no brains will vote for HH who means well for Zambia what more Zambians who have brains & have felt the shocks of economic instability during the Paya Farmer government. Indeed 2016 will be a landslid victory for chief HH.

  34. PF has not provided the radicle change that was needed in Zambia

    1. Opposition are still being harrased and locked up just like in the past

    2.Cabinet reshufles are still the order of the day

    3. Globe trotting by the president and his government continues at tax payers expense

    4. No vision no direction of what government wants to do to help Zambia move forward

    5. The Media is still heavily controlled by the goverment

    6. We are back to the days of the party and its government (P.I.G) 7, Tribalism is at its worst. 8. Poverty persists.

    • @ Bricklayer walasa…..During RB’s reign twali mu auto pilot as things stand Auto pilot has been disengaged and the new Pilot is on job training so we are just spiralling out of control.

  35. Being in opposition for so long one would assume the PF would come with a proper plan but alas it has been total chaos. A year is more than enough to pass judgement that PF has failed one tends to wonder if they even have an economic plan for the country. Nangu waesha ukuichaila pa last kufilwa

  36. IF YOU’RE NOT EQUIPT TO HANDLE A JOB ! HOW CAN I GIVE IT TO YOU?
    MANY OF US WORKING UNDERWENT TRAINING !
    OTHERWISE YOU’LL BE CRYING LIKE A COW SUFFERING FROM DENKETE!

    • At the very least he would have articulated his vision, his priorities, the challenges etc so that the whole country is on the same pace. Right now, the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. Zambia is doomed!!!

  37. during RB’s rule he made deals with other nations for the benefit of Zambians.Do you know I can go to Brazil without a visa? thanks to RB.There were always pictures of RB opening this,commissioning this,he brought developement and thats why he left so much money in our countries reserves.A point PF Kaponyas don’t talk about.There was lots of infrastructuer coming up.we have a new hospital in Lusaka,something we cried for for many years.RB supported the football team behind the scenes and we won Africa cup-at least Sata even acknowlegded this by sending RB to Gabon.

    • You southerner Tonga bull… STOP USING THE NAME Bwalya… writting this hatred malabishi… sing about your ka upnd and leave PF alone!
      stupid!!!

  38. For this country to be okay,we need to do the following; criticize positively,national interest first,tribalism out,favoritism out,and we should be impartial.We talk too much without action.

  39. THE PRESIDENT ,NO SHOW.USING MAMA DR KASEBA AS IMAGE BUILDER EVERY DAY ON TV.MOREEN TRIED TO BUILD MWANAWASA, SHE FAILD.GIVE US JOBS OR QUIT.YOUR JOB IS PERFORMANCE BASED.NOT FALSE PROMISES,YEAR AFTER YEAR.

  40. UPND is the most talked about party at the moment.The foundation after the death of Mazoka has been established now the UPND is making another step to conclude on the part of the shadow cabinet.Take it or leave it HH is on the way to plot one.
    Tribalism what does it really mean?just take a good look at Sata and his cabinet come on you people who is more tribal here.
    Stop tribal remarks you people every President belongs to a tribe.Bemba let us Unity wheather bantu or who ever we only have one zambia.please let as use our numerical advantage to the benifit of our mother zambia.Through HH we shall attain economical liberation which we dearly need.

  41. UPND should accept that they lost the elections and move on. One year is a short time even for a major investment to bear fruit and it is the UPND which duped it’s own party youths that they will win the elections when they knew that it was impossible. The opposition should start telling people how they can do better than PF and explain it the people, instead of criticising the best policies which will benefit Zambians like minimum wage.

  42. Hahahahaha, provide ctiticism and soultions. My foot! To CNP? I guess we all know they have no plan and have asked the Minister of youth somthing –somthng to do that. So they lied when they said they had a plan for the youths. Second, providing solution? Let them create jobs and plans for youths. If they cant, let them step aside and allow normal people with plans, be it NAREP, UPND, NGP etc take over and run the country properly. I guess the youth has the rght to say you have no plan and have decieved us without giving an alternative. Reason, there is no plan to give an alternative to!

  43. Did i not tell you that you put a BABOON in state house and you insulted me….  i will have the last laugh

  44. #48. For you will perish as you wait for your piece of slime to be president of your bantustan, definitely not Zambia.

  45. #20 you are spot on ….on Mushota. Besides that, You Mushota were the first to post the comment on this space..but surprisingly your comment was totally out of focus. the topic is “The Zambian youth were duped-Mufalali” how does this correllate with your intentions to marry Nick?? Its totally your business no one cares whether you do it or not, you do not owe anyone an explaination as to who you chose to marry. so please try to condend your feelings !

  46. Sata has failed to deliver on any of his promises, but has managed to effect promises he made to his family. To increase his salary and allowances twice in less than a year.

  47. Hamiyanze ————What do you gain from insulting Mr. Hichilema—-looking for a job from Sata? You are really paying for being lazing lacking the ability to use your brains to earn a living. You will be lucky if Sata will give you a job going by your name, the man is a terrible tribalist.

  48. Maybe I heard differently the actually length of time which was mentioned ; PF campaign message said 90 weeks not 90 days. 90 weeks and am very sure; True story I don’t lie 90 weeks. I think even PF hierarchy they don’t that they meant 90 weeks. You they promise house as Ause,Home as Omu,Harare as Arare and my husband as my assband

  49. BA MUFALALI, MWACITA SPONSOR ABAICE MWABANWISHA NA SHEKISHEKI MWABASHITILA NA WEED ATI THE YOUTH PROTESTED. THOSE WERE JUST UNRULY UPND YOUTH. JUST LIKE THE OTHER BLOGGER ASKED- SO, WHAT SOLUTION HAVE YOU OFFERED TO SOLVE UNEMPLOYMENT? NAREP CRITISISES AND IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS OFFERS SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS. PF AND SATA WILL NOT FAIL. IN FACT THEY ARE GOING TO DEVELOP ZAMBIA IN THE REAL PRACTICAL SENSE AND IT CAN BE SEEN.

  50. For any democracy to survive, it is imperative that there is an opposition. The game is called “politics.” Using the metaphor of more familiar sports, I would say, football is played by kicking the ball, basketball by throwing the ball and tennis by hitting it. Politics is played by way of mud-slinging. Hence the saying: “politics is a dirt game.” It involves mud-slinging. Michael Sata, while in opposition played it the same way the current opposition is doing it. What a pity that Michael Sata and his PF government are taking offense at the opposition for playing the game the way it is supposed to be played. To me, honourable Mufalali does sound like a politician in the opposition, trying to throw mud at the ruling party. After all the PF promised and consequently, got the vote!

  51. Why must the PF government not be taken to task by the opposition over its failed promises to the electorate? Of what good will the opposition in Zambia be, if they should lay down the tools of their trade, fold their sleeves and bend down to help the PF fix the mess? Should that be our fate, wouldn’t we turn around and say that the opposition has committed adultery by laying in bed with the ruling party? Viva honourable Mufalali.

  52. @8 satan won the erections in those areas u mentioned becoz he is tribal, so if HH is tribal keep it up. To be frank I hate the so called bemba speaking.I dream of the day Zambia will be divided and each region rules itself with its own president.

  53. i want to react on FOOLS who always tok on HH even wen the topic is not on HH.PF you are rulling and why is it that HH is wat is in ur mouths.I have not read alot insulting ur president but you talk s****ts fro ur f**k up mouths and heads.try to reason and contribute reasonably,i thank those who contribute reasonably.love you

  54. I agree with No. 20, marrying a white(pink) person is not really an achievement. marrying someone you love either green ,white(pink), albino, or black is what is an achievement, and i does not not have to be your preoccupation in the public domain. Bragging about it simply shows that u are not as intelligent as you portray yourself to be. Its amazing that for this short time i have been on LT, my sister Mushota all your posts have been nothing but about how inadequate ALL zambians are and how intelligent YOU alone are,now that you are in the diaspora.

  55. more money in your pockets in 90 days?????? one of their failures. instead its dont kubeba.. more increaments in their pockets..

  56. I have to get across my personal passion to your goodness promoting folks who actually need assist with this area of curiosity. The actual dedication to transferring the solution all around ended up being good and possess often urged personnel just like me to succeed in their goals. Your own helpful helpful information means anywhere near this much someone just like me whilst still being far more for you to my personal associates. Thank you all people.

  57. I will right away grab your rss as I can’t find your email subscription link or e-newsletter service. Do you’ve any? Please allow me realize so that I may subscribe. Thanks.
