The opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) in Livingstone has expressed disappointment with Southern Province Minister Daniel Munkombwe’s statement in today’s edition of Post Newspaper.
Mr. Munkombwe is quoted as saying both opposition UPND and the opposition Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) lost the Mansa Central Parliamentary by-elections, which the ruling Patriotic Front won, because both opposition political parties are full of political amateurs.

UPND Livingstone District spokesperson Nato Halwabala however says his party will not be moved by such a statement from Mr. Munkombwe because it is fully aware of what sort of person Mr. Munkombwe is as he is a sort who is allegedly good at issuing statements to please his paying master.

Mr. Halwabala says this also because the UPND is further aware of the fact that Mr. Munkombwe does not mean well in the country’s political landscape because he has already publicly stated that he joined government only to eat and to benefit himself.

Mr. Halwabala has told Qfm in a telephone interview from Livingstone that his party also finds it strange that Mr. Munkombwe has overlooked the fact that the ruling PF has also being losing in other by-elections that country has been having.

Mr. Halwabala has wondered why Mr. Munkombwe has not referred to the PF as being full of political amateurs in the by-elections that it has been losing.

Mr. Halwabala says it for this other reason why his party finds it strange for Mr. Munkombwe not to understand the country’s political makeup in which people are free to vote for any political party of their choice because Zambia is a multiparty Democracy.

The UPND Livingstone District spokesperson has since urged well meaning people in the country not to take Mr. Munkombwe’s statement seriously.

    • wat can u expect from such a man who has clearly put it openly he is there to eat.he is such a loser and an amateur

    • @Cindy, well put it. I wanted to use my… but you complained that sometimes I go deeper.
      Mukombwe is like a Police officer who get to a rank of corporal, and retires as corporal or a Primary School teacher who retires without even be acting-senior teacher for a week.
      What highest post did Munkombwe reach in administration of Weleskey, KK, Chiluba, (skipped Mwanawasa), then RB and now Sata? He always stuck at cadre.

  1. Mansa peopoe are just docile and gullible.
    These are people sata promised to revamp mansa batteries.
    These are people sata promissed there shall no longer be no fish ban to all breadin.
    These are people that use mosquito nets given by min. of health to catch kasense.
    I once attended a wedding in mansa were a cadre used a mosquito net as weddin dress.
    These are kind of people that make sata to thrive

    • You really know alot about Mansa/ Luapula people yaaa? You see creative they are, using mosquito nets for fishing. They fly Kasensele/chisense using Post Newspapers.

    • Imwe. Ba sabwino palibe(zabwino)you are the new terrorists let us just give you time tukesa uumfwa ati. ,Niwe Boko Haram or Al Shabaab.Learn to accept don’t be in the negative always. after all I have spent a hell lot of long time with zambian easterners and I know what they are YOU……. are from Malawi.

    • correct my brother. even if sata was dead today, they will still vote for HIM. So, no need to praise yourselves too much, unless the expected to lose.

    • Chi zp uli chikopo sana! You re insulting innocent mansa pipo for their wise choice. You cant compare ichilema mumano” to PF. You will die of bitterness.

  2. there in zambia lusaka nasla chemical company and nasla group owner nam is mr.nasir mr. Hanif
    That company management in side no zambia people even not respict no care just force all people
    My there 1 year salary and 6 passport just holding not givin me even 2 guys more
    The are force me and cheat me no any body help me becoz that is too rich am poor
    Pleas action to nasla company
    My nam yousuf khan

  3. This man like his collegue have outlived their usefullness. Next! you will see their personal assistants carrying dypers or Napkins.

  4. The simple fact is that the PF won in Mansa because we, as Zambians remain deeply tribal (with the exception of the CB, Lsk and the parts between the two) and easily swayed by a dangling carrott. The sooner we accept that, the sooner we start taking steps to challenge our mindsets.

  5. I am from Mansa and I feel HH has come out more mature than this Munkombwe. Don’t take us for granted; we may just give the next vote to HH.

    • Mile, you are not from Mansa, What has HH done for mother Zambia compare with Michael Chilufya Sata. Sata has contributed greatly for mother Zambia than HH, who is just a political under five.

    • @Pio HH pays billions of kwacha as tax to the coffers while Satana uses that same money to pay his ill qualified relatives as diplomats and abuses the money at will.

    • Kolwe do you know what money you,re talking about?HH paying billions of Kwacha as tax?Maybe in the old kwacha and not the rebased.

    • Pio, if Sata is managing to do what he is doing with people like Munkombwe, how much will HH do? People like Munkombwe are just subtracting from what MC Sata is doing. And what makes you think that I am not from Mansa? I am not tribal period and I am a true PF sympathizers.

  6. People pipo Mukombwe has already publicly declared that he is in PF to eat. Bayanda kulya. Fisnish. If UPND wins in 2016 he will move in to eat there too.

    • boma ni boma, i have never seen development in any government than what is currently obtaining in zambia under pf, accept this bane. Let us call a spade a spade huh.

  7. Don’ t waste time debating about a half alive and half dead ***** like Ape munkombwe. What standard of education is he and honestly, does he clearly understand the meaning of democracy ? Munkombwe is half baked in the head that’ s why he can’ t tell whether he is a human being or an monkey. If we were to take a survey of people in all political parties in Zambia, there is no doubt about the findings one could immediately make concerning the people who run these organisations. From the normal persepective, could one allow a car without headlights to lead the way in the night with cars/ vehicles with normal headlights behind, how can you find the way ? Even in development it’ s the same so Munkombwe talks loudly in order to be heard that he exisits – useless.

    • Tyson Powell, Daniel Mukombwe is a great states man of Zambia who has contributed a lot to our peace and development. We should appreciate and respect him for immense work achieved in Zambia and in particular Southern Province at a cost of incalculable human and material sacrifice.
      In my humble opinion there is absolutely no point in consistently raking up the man for having served in all governments, he is full of wisdom and knowledge.

  8. @TRYSON U URE RIGHT WHY DO WE WASTE TIME RESPONDING TO A GHOST.GOING TO A GRAVE TALKING TO GRAVES MUNKOMBWE IS A DEAD PORVERTY STRIKEN YOUNG MAN

  9. y did kapolyo badly fail if the voting was tribal? Coming from a big party (mmd) with no tribal dent as is the case with upnd, i expected him to be very closer to chilufya, though it was clear that kapolyo and all the other contestants were no much to chilufya. No tribalism.

  10. Its munkombwe who made MMD win in 2008 so why is he useless today? I know how influential the man is, he is my ICON IN POLITICS

  11. Lusaka politics will not help any body. If Lusaka politics was considered in Mansa by elections, MMD OR UP END would have been declared winners. What you’re talking on this blog if it were votes for the oppositions, really they would have won the elections. But alas, very few have access to internet to hear your propaganda. Come 2016 the voting patten will not change the only change that will be there is that PF will have more votes this time around than in 2011.

    • Show me one politician in ruling or opposition parties who is not in politics for the same reason to wishfully ensure the belly if full.

  12. most of the upnd puppies condenming munkombwe ll never achieve or be where he has been so far.
    Munkombwe is a great son of zambia compared to your petty little nothing men who fathered most of you kids talking dung about him
