Lusaka Province Minister Mulenga Sata defects to UPND

Newly appointed Lusaka minister Mulenga Sata
Mulenga Sata

Lusaka Province Minister Mulenga Sata has defected to the opposition UPND.

Mr Sata announced his resignation at a UPND press briefing in Lusaka Tuesday.

But the Patriotic Front-PF- says the defection of Mr Sata to the UPND has no impact on the ruling party.

PF Lusaka Province Chairman Horace Longwe says Mr Sata’s defection is inconsequential because he was not factor in the PF.

Mr. Longwe stated that the PF is aware of Mr Sata’s plans and that he wanted to coerce other Lusaka councillors into defection but declined.

The PF Lusaka provincial chairman also commended two councillors, Robinson Kalota and Humfrey Kapapula who he said resisted attempts to force them to defect to UPND.

Mr Longwe was speaking at a press briefing held in Lusaka.

And Mr Kapapula revealed that Mr Sata had invited him to the home of UPND leader last night were he was informed that he should attend a press briefing this morning which he declined.

And Mr Kalota wondered how many people have been duped into joining the UPND in a similar manner.

    • Okay, so he was a non factor but was appointed as minister of Lusaka Province?????? What does that say about the quality of ministers in the PF government????

    • We are all Zambians. What is lacking is a visionary leadership, one who is not
      corruption inclined due to poverty, one who is disciplined generally and
      one who has a track record of success at running business or any
      institution. HH answers yes to all these. People may say but Mulenga
      and others are corrupt. Yes they were under Sata and yes alot under
      Edgar Lungu but they will not under HH as HH is not a pauper going
      into state house to taste riches. Even corrupt but energetic people like
      Chishimba Kambwili can perform wonders under a visionary leadership
      like that of HH. For God’s sake what did we expect from Edgar Lungu?
      For him to run a corrupt free government when he was just rescued by
      Sata from abject poverty? We knew exactly what to expect from Edgar.
      We need to start…

    • We need to start afresh as a nation. HH should be that leader who
      united the nation, the one who destroyed tribalism, the one who
      created tribally balanced think tanks for mapping out the development
      agenda, the one who destroyed corruption etc. this is not time to think
      about original UPND membership but about bringing all Zambians
      together under a disciplined leader. He can even do what Edgar did of
      sidelining original party members but as long as it is not for corruption
      purposes but for development and good governance.

    • THis is a game changer – well could be.

      I have heard about him not having a grade 12 certificicate but the PF should be careful on what they say about this defection.

      To blutantly strip his manhood in public and undermine what he did for this would be a mistake.

      They should thank him and wish him well.

      But do not be fooled, this is more than just a defection, this will compromise the PF, Remember they also have MMD Ministers in their Government. Those are not PF.

      Mulenga carries Legacy within him and I fear that , this defection could pyscologically tilt the till to UPND largely because of what he brings( A son of the owner of PF).

      This cant be swept under the carpet. It has changed the whole dynamics of the landscape this August.

      I know where the momentum has tilted…

    • I think PF are more in trouble than they are admitting.

      I am aware of the Grade 12 factor with Mulenga.

      But this has tilted the balance to UPND and in my eyes the damage could be unrepairable .

      Mulenga carries Legacy and history (being the son of the owner of the whole damn thing).

      Thanks

    • Mr. Longwe, can you please give us a list of PF members who are a factor so that when they defect, we will know without you telling us who isn’t a factor..

    • So imwe fima PF, cader, twebeeni who is a factor in that Panga Party…if everybody who leaves is laballed nota factor..khikikiki….I think being PF is becoming painful for everyone!

    • Nkani Yalula A Lungu, HH is a plunderer. Dont forget that. We do indeed need clean leadership but at the moment, what is on offer is three evils and we have to pick the best of them. ECL is ineffective, HH is a plunderer, and Nawakwi scandalous (Carlington maize scandal). So when you say: What is lacking is a visionary leadership, one who is not corruption inclined due to poverty, one who is disciplined generally and one who has a track record of success at running business or any institution. HH answers yes to all these’, please remember that HH is not clean.

    • Its always wise to know when its over. Wise people are the ones who know when to jump out at the right time.

    • THE RATS HAVE STARTED RUNNING FROM THE SINKING SHIP WHICH IS SINKING FURTHER IN AMAFI AYALI MU KAPELA MAKUFI!!!!

      Yes such defectors should make sure CHAGWAMUSTFALL!! The so called “APPOINTED BY SATA”, is the one the SATA FAMILY IS RUNNING AWAY FROM!!!

      Vote wisely 11/8/2016!! Vote Zambia FORWARD!! VOTE UPND!!!

      #chagwamustfall!! #pamafikuyabebele!!

      I thank you!!

    • THE YOUNG MAN HAS EVER BEEN WEAK AND non-existent TO SOME EXTENT. He is a coward and if not been the father to help him ascend to top positions, he would have useless selling dogs on the streets. I can agree with Kambwili that Mulenga Sata has not been a factor in Lusaka Politics. He has failed as a councillor and mayor. He is very weak that gentleman. This could be the end of his political journey that has difficult to make coz he is just spoon fade like a 6months baby!

    • With him, out goes the name Sata – out of PF. It’s no longer the PF it once was, one in which Michael Sata, Guy Scott, Kabimba, GBM, Sampa etc., were among its key players. This PF is a generic!

    • Mulenga, just like Miles, is not a factor in PF. He has been riding on his father’s name. He’s not known outside the city of Lusaka, so UPND don’t should not get excited over picking up excess baggage dropping off from PF

    • UPND cadres are blind. Carrying Sata to your party is working against you in western and N. Western Province. You will recive low votes from the two provinces. UPND is now PF.congulatulations PF for giving that dead party some life. but be rest assured that people will vote for Edigar bcoz we have seen that these defections are based on hatred. the same people fought Lungu last yr but failed now the teamed up to joing a fellow hater who is dull of bitterness. Birds of the same feathers….

    • Zambians love Lungu not because of Sata but becuase of the way he has managed the country after the death of Pres Sata. The continuity in the management of projects wich sata left is unbelievable. Not even the Hater HH can perform like this. I WANT TO ASSURE ALL UPND SUPPORTERS THAT HH IS LOSING AGAIN.

    • Let those with eyes see and those with sound minds make wise decisions.Welcome to the redeeming family Mr.Sata.

      Izula bayangana.Wina azalila.

    • UPND Cabinet next year.

      My dear HH make sure all there are appounted or else you will be in big trouble.

    • We are not geting the reasons for these defections. Hatred will not develop our country if UPND was to be voted into power. What are the reasons given by Mulenga to leave PF. Is it poor economic performance? Which was initiated by his father? Iam sure he wants to come and initiate PF policies in UPND becoz UPND have on clue on how to run a country

    • IN BEMBA WE SAY THAT “UMWAICE UKOABUTUKILO LUBILO EKO ABWELA ALELILA” AM SO SORRY FOR THESE BLIND BEMBAS WHO ARE SUPPORTING HH,ALABANE BALE MIBOMFYAFYE KWATI FIMA DOOR MATS,UMUTONGA MUTONGA,TACINJA,TOMMORROW HE WILL THROW YOU AND THEN YOU COME BACK TO US AND START APOLOGISING TWAKANA.LUNGU IS A GOOD LEADER.

    • MAMAMAMA! I CANNOT JUST LEAVE THIS BLOG WITHOUT DROPPING A COMMENT. WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENNING BACK THERE IN ZAMBIA? ECL IS NOW ONE MAN PARTY? HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? UPND HAS ALREADY CARRIED THE DAY CLEAN GAME. THE LEGACY OF SATA FAMILY IS NOW UNDER UPND MMMM THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.

    • Who in their right senses would see a few termites gnawing on the roof or veranda wood of their house and take no precautionary measures to stop damage advancing? We have been hearing this “NO FACTOR” nonsense for too long for any loss of membership should be of concern! Those familiar with the science of icebergs understand that below the observable tip there are tons of massive ice below and thats what led to the sinking of the Titanic!

    • Mulenga is one smart guy among the smart people of the Zambian Enterprise … this is a huge blow no matter what kind of spin anyone in the PF wants to put on it. The kid is a well trained engineer with such a brilliant mind.

      ECL’s mistake was he announced too early about a future running mate, that made the alliance with MMD (though I have never been fond of them) hard to actualize. Now, unless he had Dr. Kaseba as that future running mate, he has just about lost the entire MCS clan.

      Believe it or not it is hard to win this election without half the MCS Clan behind you. You can lose some and win some but you can afford to lose them all. This is a game changer … I still put my money on ECL, though! May the best team win!!!

    • All this I predicted better than the fake PF prophets.

      Bravo Mulenga Sata. This is a timely move after seeing the wako ni wako tribalism perpetrated by RB using naive Lungu.

      RB very soon will come on board with all his children. Right now Henry is on his father case persuading him to support UPND and now is the right time when Lungu ‘s administration is weakened.

      By wanzelu evading LT blocking.

    • UPND IS NOW A “SMALL PF”
      It is shameful what is going on in our party. I look closely at who is joining the party from PF and can see very soon UPND will be swallowed up by these people. Our identity is gone. Our leaders are quiet. PF is now very loud in and outside the party. What has gone wrong?
      KK did not need the opponents to get independence, Chiluba never allowed MMD to be swallowed by the opposition to come into power. MCS did not depend on the opposition to go to State House.
      I do not see HH making it this year for the blunder he has made. This is a national disaster. BB

  1. Even Edgar when he defects..the iddiots will say he is not a factor! Kikikikii. Viva UPND and Junior Micheal Sata.

    Well done Mulenga!

    Forward we go!

    • MULENGA SATA YOU ARE DEAD AND BURIED POLITICALLY HH WILL NEVER WIN THIS COMING ELECTIONS. BRAVO ECL, BRAVO PF.

    • I agree with what you are saying up to Viva UPND…… the rest is a big NO ….. ” and Junior Micheal Sata. Well Done Mulenga!”… Mulenga Sata has been involved in unmentionables… his defection is susPICIous

  2. Yaba, these pipo no principles at all. You would expect him to at least hold fast and keep his father’s dream. Look at Tilyenji. UNIP went into oblivion a long time ago but he’s still holding on to it…..

    • The sad thing about Tilyenji is that his father is still alive and not even a member of his own party. Remember Nyerere, he never stopped being a COM member. Neither did Mandela stop being ANC.

    • Exactly what I was saying . Tilyenji knows UNIP can’t win but he has just continued to keep his father’s baby. Yoooo
      . Let us wait and see.

    • Imwe na imwe, Chishimba Kambwili is not a factor, he can defect and the ruling party will not be affetced.

    • This is a huge vote of no confidence in ECL. Think about it, Mulenga spend alot of time with him at State House and as provincial minister, leaving his father’s party isn’t a decision one just wakes up and makes. There must be more beneath the humble persona they try hard to sell, just who is ECL?

    • Wait and see. How can Mulenga Sata honestly condemn ECL. ECL appointed Mulenga to be a Deputy Minister. Mulenga father, MHSRIP, never even appointed him a Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Public Works despite Mulenga being an Engineer. Please let’s give credit where it is due.

    • MULENGA SATA HAS NO GRADE TWELVE CERTIFICATE THESE CHAPS THOUGHT ECL WILL AMENDED THE GRADE TWELVE CLAUSE DURING THIS SITTING BY PARLIAMENT WHICH PRESIDENT LUNGU REFUSED TO DO. SHAME ON MULENGA SATA

    • Tell Kaizer to repay all that corruptly gotten money and apologize to the Zambians. Also, let him not try rig the elections as it is evident that the wind of change is official and PF must pack their bags

    • @Kudos: while on the phone tell Kaizer to jump ship while he has time and that you will do the same when you come back to Zambia. Lungu can remain alone mwa bwato with his pangas. This is why we have been saying
      #ChagwaMustFall

    • @kudos, I thought you completely had no brains but I have changed the way I think about you. Congratulation.

  3. The writing is on the wall. There will be no re-run.
    PFs days are numbered.

    Mulenga is reading something from the grassroots.

    • He has no grade 12 certificate and was hoping ECL will amend the Clause in the last sitting. Many are yet to defect, but for Mulenga its not about reading something.

  4. Some of these people, we wonder if they are really the sons of the fathers they claim to be!!!!LOL Only the mother knows!!!God forbid!!! I’m sorry!!!

  5. ECL Nebuchadnezzar King of babylon, Mene Mene Terkel Parsil! Your Kingdom is finished and your days are numbered!

    What a period with you in office of President of Zambia?

  6. Those of you who still think PF is alive will develop BP in August! Please for the sek of yo health ditch the sinking boat now- its for yo own gud.

  7. Winding up on my peace keeping mission, if this story is true I’m very disappointed. Still we will strive on as true die hard PF. I personally will always respect Mulenga a seasoned engineer and gentleman to the core regardless of what he does.

    These are lessons to learn as we move on to another victory in August!!!

    2016 ECL nafuti

  8. Edgar has no direction. He became president by accident. Just hear him answering questions from journalists at the airport when he is going or coming from somewhere. He speaks like a pure cadre in opposition. No inspiration from a so called president! Morons in PF made a costly mistake, Miles Sampa was going to inspire and unite PF.

  9. Why these defections now? Where were they all along? Am not a politician or a political analyst but I think there is no genuiness in most of these politicians. A number of them have a bad record. All those without grade 12 cerificates are now in fear of losing their jobs and possibly solicit comfort in the party which others have laboured to build. Can a leopard change its spots? Or can an Ethiopian change his skin. However God is the only one who will ultimstrky liberate us. Shalom.

    • Lungu is gradually being isolated by his own stoopidity. It is best to keep your enemies close so that they remain pissing inside your tent. That way you can keep an eye on them.

    • Grade 12 issues will not go away by jumping from party to party. Mwaliteta and Mulenga’s defections show that the grassroots will not give Lungu a chance and these people jumped ship regardless before it became a shipwreck. They have seen up-close the disaster that Lungu is presiding over. Really
      #ChagwaMustFall

  10. sata died but pf is never dead,with or without mulenga sata pf ls still vry strong enough. my appear to all pf members,supporters,cadres dont worry nipamaka cabe viva PF.

  11. mulenga sata is not a politician but a dog sales man ok. so he is not a factor in pf. upnd is collecting losers all the way. edgar lungu kept that dog sales in GVT coz he is a good president.

  12. It was a grave mistake for E Lungu to lead PF ,he just cant hold the PF party together .The only thing he has proved to be good at is fostering relationships with fellow easterners at the expense of the party. The biggest wrong move he made was to form a partnership with corrupt Banda and bring on insult styled Dora all at the expense of the party . Not even one senior minister is happy with EL ,is a very isolated president and all the public affection and defense they show him is pure pretense . He seem to be preoccupied with things that we cant see , he works less for the country and he also works less for the party ,all is works is about himself thereby neglecting important structures. I serious see more Sata in HH now and less tha 5% in EL

    • @Luapula fish I agree with you entirely. Lungu is one uninspiring leader who’s pholosophy is unknown. I have no doubt that even his Ministers don’t know what he stands for hence the contradictions in government policies. The man is so disorganised in words and actions leaving you wondering just how sobber he is. He offers no direction to national problems apart from harassing members of the opposition.

  13. No Morals Not Princilled no Vision
    How does one justify himself after all
    That, being nominated MP to Provincial Minister and then foolishly and blindly
    Goes ahead and insult the Party’s and Governance by defecting to the Dump-Site
    Party.
    Disgustingly Pathetic

    • Kindly call him all names but you know for sure deep down your hearts that it pains to lose a pillar like him.

  14. Tongas and Bembas join hands again as was before independence. But this time guys, you need the Lozis, Luvales, Kaondes to play a central role in managing the economy. The enemy is poverty not Welensky. No more corruption in new government. HH, put your foot down on corruption. It must be true One Zambia One Nation. This is my dream and Zambia will never look back again. Rwanda is sailing with great successes on account of discipline and focus in government. HH, you can do more than this.

    • HH is a mother of corruption and as such can’t abort it, the reason why he is busy embracing corrupt elements from all over the place…GBM is one such corrupt illiterate who has been smuggling maize out the country of late…

  15. Mulenga Sata has no support, let UPND field him in Lusaka and you will see how he will tumble. PF not bothered by his defection which is out of bitterness. He attempted to take over PF after his father died but realized he had no support. VIVA PF, VIVA ECL

  16. READ THE ZAMBIA WATCHDOG.THE GUY WANTED TO STAND ON THE PF AS EXECUTIVE MAYOR FOR LUSAKA BUT PRESENTED A FORGED GRADE 12 CERTIFICATE.HE WAS TO BE ARRESTED AND THE SAME LUNGU HE IS INSULTING SAVED HIM FROM THE POLICE.HH SHOULD BE CAREFUL OF SUCH DEFECTORS.

    • Now that he has jumped on another boat the police will definitely arrest him for forgery. If he just wanted to leave its okay he has the right to association. Let him go and taste the others as well

  17. A lot of people will be on a losing side in 2016 like Daniel Munkombwe in 2015!!WHAT WRONG HAS PF OR EDGAR LUNGU HAS DONE TO MULENGA SATA FOR HIM TO RESIGN?NOTHING!!ITS GBM,MILES SAMPA AND GUY SCOTT WHO ARE CHEATING HIM.BUT HE HAS MADE A VERY WRONG MOVE WHICH HE MAY REGRET AFTER 11/08/2016!!OUR POLITICIANS MUST KNOW THAT US VOTERS DO NOT DEFECT FROM 1 PARTY TO ANOTHER ANYHOW!!THATS WHY DESPITE ALL THESE WRONG MOVEMENTS,EDGAR LUNGU IS ATTRACTING HUGE RALLIES WHERE HE GOES.SO VOTERS ARE THE KINGS IN ANY ELECTIONS!!I SIMPLY CANT SEE HH DEFEATING MIGHTY PF IN 2016!!!LETS WAIT AND SEE.

    • Uzakanya manzi pa 11/08.Dont say we the voters,say i the voter.Speak for ur stomach mambala.Eat while you can otherwise come august you will dance pelete.

  18. Of all the defections we have witnessed so far, the most surprising one is Mulenga Sata’s defection as far as I am concerned. This is the havoc Guy Scott meant. This is a lethal blow for PF and even Kudos is devastated on this one.

  19. Mulenga Sata defects becausr Edag Lungu has ‘failed’ to pursue his late fathers vision ; Nepotism, Tribalism, failure to consult others, recklessly plunging the economy into decline due to unplanned for roads, etc etc. We all know that Edgar Lungua reign has been that of ‘damage control’ of the mess Mulenga’s father left. After surviving on selling dogs today Mulenga is super rich ! Seems UPND is becoming a recycle bin for Grade 12 failures like Sata and Mwaliteta. Thats why Maureen has recently backed off from being subordinated to Grade 12 failures lile GBM and now Mulenga

  20. PF is NOT a monachy. Mulenga and the Widow thot everyone in PF will be asking them what to do. I would rather see PF loses than have the ‘entittled’ or the Satas.

    To UNPD ..dont count chickens before the chicks grow or even before the eggs.

  21. No Vacancies in Presidential Mate,
    MP, Concillors, Ward Chairmanship,
    Caderership or ifyabayama or ba Step
    Dad
    Sorry your application is way too late
    and as such invalid.

  22. Mulenga Sata has defected because he has not been given the full ministerial position he thought he would be given even when his father never gave him that. His father advised him to start low in politics and rise gradually but the young man is looking for a meteoric rise which he will not get with UPND. He also thought PF was going to plead with him to stand on Lusaka Central Constituency seat. But he never got it. That is the problem with conceited people. At least he has joined a party with another conceited person at the helm and we will see what chance he gets. Just wait for UPND to lose and you will see them trooping back to PF looking for jobs. Kabili, they think UPND will win and they will get full ministerial jobs.

  23. Story is that Mulenga Sata does not have a Grade 12 certificate but only Grade 9. Mulenga Sata will not be contesting on any other ticket and has made his move in order to safeguard his businesses.

  24. He is not a factor, faccccctor, nnnnooot a faccctoooor, ezzzzzyyyyy nnnootIeeee a a a afactor, roll the tape now, yo hamm quinchy, yo this is DJ Proooooof Faccccctor coming ta yaaaa on 0734 super frequeeen turn it up yo!

  25. mr mulenga,your father is so disappointed with you.am pretty sure that he would have deflected to the opposition no matter how bad things would have been.so why dint you bring the ideas you are taking to upnd in your fathers party?we know all defector are looking for positions when HH wins but we are so you thinking are wrong..PF & LUNGU again

  26. Where did things go wrong in PF following Sata’s death?
    1. Edgar Lungu was considered a transition president to pave way for fresh party elections for the 2016 vote. He has decided to stay on when it’s clear within the party he is not a leader who has intellectual and moral capacity to take the party and country forward. 2. RB involvement was initially tolerable to enable the party cross the bridge. The clawing into PF government of the likes of Dora has been slow poison that has provoked anger among many PF members. 3. At the centre of Lungu leadership are characters who were either dismissed or hived off by Sata (Emmanuel Mwamba, Kaizer Zulu, Mumbi Phiri, Sunday Chanda and Father Bwalya). He dislodged them for a reason. Shockingly, though not surprising considering the caliber of…

  27. Shockingly, though not surprising considering the caliber of Lungu, he has made them his key frontmen and women; rejecting common sense. At the end of the day, the party lacks persona for lack of credible personalities with both moral and academic distinction. We are seeing the results nationally. Those with brains will defect unless they are holding onto some material gain. This is an excellent opportunity for HH. He has in one year transformed UPND from a perceived regional party to a national party. My desire is that HH should appoint Kaseba Sata as his running mate (presuming PF will still be in existence before 11 August)..

  28. Even if all ministers and the president of pf go to upnd how still remain PF because us die hard PF we believe in our party…no one member in is a factor but our lovely party PF is a factor with or without Mulenga Sata,GBM,M SAMPA, GUY SCOTT or whoever…… get it from me PF is winning

    • @Morgan

      We have seen it all and that is why they call themselves and are indeed diehards….the last man standing. UNIP, ANC and even MMD has them!

      Stay on in PF for UPND will need opposition apart from Rainbow.

      PF has started to implode….watch the space!

  29. You just have to love how the PF dimwits are trying to come out clean on this defection. PF is sinking and it will be in the first round. just wait and see what will happen after May 11th. Forward we are matching!!

  30. Zambians are praying everyday. God will deliver Zambia for better. Proud comes before the fall. As Christian Nation Zambia will get a good deal. I am shocked but I am sure what is happening is God’s guidance. Now I have respect for HH because it is not easy to make such headways while in opposition. I want to google this guy HH. He must be be smart.

  31. Well Mr. Sata first we shall want to know how it is you bought the following vehicles on a deputy-mayors salary(allowance) Land cruiser VX, on a mayors salary (Range rover Vogue, Mercedes Benz ML500 new), oh and how you ‘bought’ a house from Phiri, razed it down and built a new one within 90 days!….then the trip to Korea, London, SA and never mind your ‘friends’ the Chinese….fate will follow you and you will account for all the money you have plundered regardless of who is in power

  32. Comment:getting so interesting.not a factor word has bcome a song by even those who do not know what it means.why not wish those leaving the boat gód luck.u used to see them as factors the time they were in line with u ,but now its not a factor tag .its their right to do whats best for them.

  33. This is one of the reasons i hate upnd because they welcome all rejects!!EDGAR LUNGU LOOKED AFTER MULENGA SATA LIKE HIS SON.look politicians must have morals for us voters to believe them!mulenga cannot say rubbish about pf which his father made and did a lot before he died!!PLEASE VOTERS,LETS SHAME ALL THESE TRAITORS ON 11/08/2016!!HH CANNOT GIVE MULENGA WHAT EDGAR LUNGU GAVE HIM!!REALLY MOST ZAMBIANS DO NOT APPRECIATE!!COOL SINCE I AND ALL MY FAMILY MEMBERS WILL NEVER VOTE FOR UPND!!!

    • What are you talking about? HH is for development. Edgar Lungu “looked after Mulenga Sata” with whose money? Taxpayers money…. This will come to an end with UPND. WE want such CORRUPT behaviour to stop. Zambian resources are for Zambians….. Full Stop!!

  34. Mulenga Sata will not derail PF nor tip the balance to UPND by his defection. Who really is Mulenfa Sata to change the game. If Zambian people vote for ‘the son’ of one of the worst Leaders Zambia ever had in terms of presentation and character then we gave a huge problem as a people. But I trust Zambians to have more brain space, especially that they are able to understand that PF under Lungu HAS PUSHED out all the unstable characters that were riding the PF Boat because of association with President Sata and who felt entitled the respect of Zambians because of that.

    This is good and is a ‘result’ for President Lungu, whom many on LT had suggested was campaigning to remove the ‘We are entitled and Justified’ members. President Lungu is a serious Politician with the ability…

    • President Lungu is a serious Politician with the ability to demolish mediocre PF Citizens to desperate ‘Personality Cult’ Parties.

  35. WHEN THE LATE PRESIDENT MICHEAL CHILUFYA SATA, WHO WAS LIKED BY MANY PEOPLE BECAUSE OF HIS PRACTICAL HARD-WORK IN DEVELOPING ZAMBIA, STARTED PF, HE WAS SUPPORTED VERY MUCH. PEOPLE STILL HAVE A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN PF THAN WHAT SOME PEOPLE MIGHT THINK. PF IS A VERY STRONG AND BIG ORGANISATION THAT WILL CONTINUE BEING IN POWER EVEN IF IT CHANGES ITS LEADERSHIP AND MEMBERS. CHANGE IN ZAMBIA DOESN’T JUST HAPPEN IN ONE DAY. PF PARTY IDEALS AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS THAT HAVE SPREAD ALL OVER ZAMBIA THAT PEOPLE CAN SEE FOR THEMSELVES WILL BE CONSIDERED WHEN VOTING IN AUGUST. THE ANOINTING OF GOD IS ON EDGAR CHAGWA LUNGU AND SO HE WILL CONTINUE IN LEADERSHIP EVEN AFTER THESE AUGUST 2016 ELECTIONS. THERE IS NO ONE WHO CAN DEFEAT GOD’S ANOINTING HERE ON EARTH. PLEASE BE ADVISED CORRECTLY WITHOUT…

  36. PF is finished and the time for Lungu to go has come. LUNGU MUST GO AND LUNGU WILL GO – SAVE ZAMBIA FROM DOOM. THANK YOU MULENGA SATA. YOUR DAD KNOWS YOU HAVE DONE THE RIGHT THING. LUNGU IS AN INCOMPETENT AND PROFESSIONAL FAILURE (PF) THAT HAS DAMAGED ZAMBIA’S ECONOMY.

  37. PF should be worried. UPND has two former Vice Presidents in Lupando Mwape and Guy Scott. They have come with valuable information. Mulenga Sata a month ago was Deputy Minister at State House. He has all intelligent information including the projected outcome of election results from the OP. This is a foregone conclusion. PF is finished. What are you going to tell abena Muchinga, Luapula and na ba Bemba? You won the January 2015 elections using the Sata name. Now The son and nephew (Mulenga Sata and Miles Sampa) are working with UPND. Romour has it that even the surviving spouce (Kaseba) is being qouted by UPND! The whole Sata family is now PF! It is a bitter pill to swallow but the writings are on the wall and its too late for the PF to remedy the situation. Can President Lungu stand…

  38. wiso akufwaila icifulo elyo wacilekelesha lishamo .umulembwe wachipuba upwila mulitumfwe. mulenga you are a disgrace.

  39. So it’s a true every one in PF is not a factor, in other words, useless. But this is supposed to be secret until they defect. At this rate I wonder what will happen on the day parliament dissolves.

  40. PF banished this boy to a decorative large room ( to boost his self importance), but seemingly he was never allowed to leave the room and appear before citizens. What intelligence has Mulenga shown in all the time he was privileged to play on the high stage of politics? How many speeches did he make? What did his ‘honorary’ post at state house entail? Most politicians on the Zambian political landscape worked really hard to get where they are including HH who is now reduced to collect Strays ejected from their party’s. This man now joins his other friends who challenged Lungu for Leadership all arranged by Scotty Boy, Zambia’s Albatross, or the ‘cross we have to bear.’ They have just regroup elsewhere because the PF inner group who masterminded President Lungu’s ascendency…

  41. These people fought ECL during the runner-up to the convention, so morally, it’s very difficult to work with someone you fought. With the grade twelve (12) clause, Mulenga sata is now confused but joining the upnd is the last mistake that he has made. Let’s wait and see this time the goalkeeper is there ( ECL). In January 2015, there was no goalkeeper and upnd failed to score so let’s see if at all they have good penalty takers this time around.

  42. In my dream, a very deep ditch was dug as a trap for President Lungu to fall in. When I arrived at the scene very early in the morning before anyone else, I found the UPND president Hakainde Hichilema there trying to see if President Lungu had fallen in. In the process of checking, HH fell in the ditch himself and hit his head against a big rock down the ditch. I tried to help but there was nothing I could do and I woke up. A huge ditch is being dug for ECL and it look so really deep, but am keen to see how this dream unfolds. So for so true. I cant wait for August 11 to see how it goes.

    • Any coven, principality, wickedness and ruler of darkness uttering satanic incantations and programming dreams and setbacks against HH, fall down and die.

      You wicked satanic demon militating against HH , hear the thunder of God and dissemble into nothingness in Jesus Name. Wicked altars fighting HH, receive the brimstone fire of God and die in Jesus Name.

  43. Mulenga Sata must be respected for defecting because its his right. I strongly believe no individual in the PF is bigger than the party itself. All these defections can not be compared to the gap the President left when he died but PF went on to win the by-elections. I think PF are stronger than they were in January last year and all these ”transfers” wont affect them very much.
    Life goes on PF lives on.

    • It was unwise to have let them remain in PF after the Leadership challenge. Thus could gave been prevented but for strong butchers knife to cut them off at that time.

  44. Too bad for mulenga, it is too soon for him to get finished. Thats why a full grade 12 certificate is very important guys, you can’t go anywhere without it. Imagine if MCS can scoop the whole lusaka and the whole copperbelt but looses twice to mmd, how muchmore with the under 5 party which is only popular in southern and n/western provinces bamulenga wesu, that is sucide indeed. Anyway mwapita, nokumilaba twamilaba.

  45. Mulenga Sata may not have a huge following in PF but his defection from PF to UNDP is significant. It shows that McMillian’s wind of change is blowing across Zambia. Mulenga Sata’s defection means a vote of No Confidence in the leadership of PF and especially President Lungu. Politics is about numbers so Mulenga Sata’s defection is a huge boost to HH and UPND. After Parliament is dissolved we can expect more defections from PF and MMD. Lungu’s titanic ship is wrecked and will soon sink. Captain Lungu is in trouble.

    • No he us not. This was planned for after last elections. They had to put him somewhere he could do no harm. Now he is attempting to find stature by rejoining his friends who caused the power struggle. This is good for PF!!

  46. With or without Mulenga we are winning PF is not a family party. Mulenga I thought you were educated enough to know that the sufferings people are going through now were created by your dad(mhsrip). People don’t just want to talk.

  47. PF should bury their heads in sand there is more to this.These people who are resigning are Deputy Cabinet ministers who have access to state resources for them to resign there is more than our eyes can say.
    RB lost becase he ditched all the MMD members Mwasawasa left and surrounded himself with other people otherwise Lungu must be carefull not to lose all the founder members of PF and rely on Simbao,Siliya,Kaingu,Monde and Siamunene.

  48. Voters don’t defect. In fact these defections are giving us voters powers to prove to them that they can’t cheat us. A lot of them have forgotten about munkombwe. If anything munkombwe was more closer to making the right move than these because Upnd Then faced a weaker Pf.

  49. No wonder some classified information has been leaking to UPND and the media, it’s because of ID!OTS like Sata who can betray the name of his own late father and the party he toiled for so hard.

  50. UPND Mouthpiece Zambia Watchdog less than a month ago said Mulenga Sata had a forged G12 certificate. What has changed now…LOL POLITICS…LOL..I leave it here.

    • You should answer yourself. Why should somebody enjoying himself as deputy Minister throw all that away to join an opposition party? And if he has no Grade 12 certificates, then how will the opposition party help him?

    • LOOL…check this out..
      Press Statement

      23rd April 2015

      We are appalled at the current revelations of corruption by senior staff of President Edgar Lungu at State House and other government ministries. In particular, we are concerned about allegations of corruption against Deputy Minister at State Hose Mulenga Sata, Special Assistant to the President Kaizer Zulu, Permanent Secretary Chilubanama, as well as the Minister of Finance Alexander Chikwanda and his son, Bweembya.

      These senior officials are facing serious allegations of corruption which are denting the image of State House. Corruption allegations at these high offices only breed further contempt of the office of the President if no action is taken. We have seen so often that despite these allegations being made, very…

  51. MMD went through it when National Party, FDD and party for uncle miyanda were formed. The bottom line is lungu is winning. All Mulsataga sata wants is to be MP in Lusaka central now becoz of mwanakatwe who is not popular he chose to use UPND where he was assured.

  52. @HH Tichilema or whatever you are called. Do not massage your conscience by choosing to live in self made description. Wake up to the reality that there are many more ‘voter-pulling’ individuals about to denounce your party. You will remain alone believing in the impossible. Those guys you think do not matter (Guy Scott, Katoloshi, Sampa, etc) will pull huge numbers from your strongholds. People’s loyalty to PF has crash landed unceremoniously and you will be lucky to even go into 2011 with any credible PF founders. My brother or sister, the economy has been cause for voter defection!!! People have long defected and it’s done and dusted. Where do you live or why surely can’t you see? Are you like my brother Samuel Ngoma (aka Senior Citizen) who always supports losing parties?

  53. He is a big factor …look at how dem iddiots are talking about him here.in various bad terms!

  54. Wow people are saying Mulenga Sata is not a factor, please try to count how many comments are there on this news. There are 78 Comments and mine is number 79. Why is there so much interest in this topic? You know the answer. But for us in North Western Province, we know how Mulenga’s Father hated us and how he wished we could be wipped out from the face of Zambia. So UPND just be cautious and hand Mulenga well because you may be putting salt on the wound of Kaondes, Lundas and Luvale where many of your votes come from.

  55. It look like time is up for Pf. Now Zambians are waiting for the able leadership of HH Mwana Musankwa (THE ECONOMIC MANAGER) to revamp the Zambian economy and uplift the welfare of all Zambians once again. Zambians twachula pafula!

  56. I can rest assure you that those who have jumped onto UPND are the same rejects that wanted to hijack PF in 2015 but were defeated together with Under 5. There is absolutely nothing new here and if anything, President Lungu, the obvious choice of the people will again defeat them clean.

    Only those who are jealous and envious of President Lungu’s achievements in his one year term in office and know they will not be in his team are running away like lost hyenas.
    What on earth has Mulenga Sata done for the people of Lusaka in general and PF in particular other than just being the lazy son of his late father? he was a mayor of Lusaka and the city was dead.
    What has Scott done for Lusaka Central other than being a racist? NIL! What has Miles Sampa done in his political career to even…

  57. contd

    What has Miles Sampa done in his political career to even warrant forming his own political party? What has the calibre of Mwaliteta have to offer other than soliciting for contracts in Parastatals?
    Well if you dont these people you can be excited but before you know it after HH is defeated on 11 August, you will see the confusion that will rock UPND. President Lungu will win these elections nice and clean and will lead Zambia to prosperity mark my words.

  58. ECL is very clever and I give him kudos. He knows the people who are pretending to be supporting him and own their own they are running away from PF. KIKIKIKIKIKI. PF is still very popular and they will win the August 11 elections without any problems at all. The people who wanted to challenge him will all disappear and join UPND then after August 13 they will again start coming back to PF looking jobs, wait and see. ECL is not even worried as he will not loose anything, he brought the enemies closer to him and the same enemies have now released that they can not cheat him. Viva PF and ECL. Cooperbelt, Lusaka, Eastern, Central, North Western and Western Edger will be a victor.

  59. There is cause for fear in PF. There has been rampant theft, corruption and misuse of resources. Mulenga’s defection has been sudden and abrupt. His departure has left the rank and file and indeed the party bosses confused as they do not know who is next. It’s like there is a cat among the pigeons. Watch out, Haleisa Humwaice, Halikwata na plan!

  60. As Chinua Achebe wrote. “Things fall apart when the centre can no longer hold”. Clearly Lungu has failed to hold PF together. These defections confirm Lungu’s leadership failure. With Scot,Mulenga, Sampa, Kabinda etc gone, PF is now a shell of what it was under Michael Sata. The good thing is that all these defectors know how ECZ and PF were going to rig the elections. Lungu is now deserted and left to stew by himself in the PF wilderness. If PF loses this election it will disintegrate. Rigging these elections is no longer that easy with all these informers at hand. ECZ better play ball and deliver to Zambia clean elections in 2016.

    • It seems Mwaliteta left a ilomba in that office which was tormenting Mulenga Sata so he decided to follow him to UPND so that he can live in peace kikikikikiki!!. Good redance Mulenga is a political nonentity who has just finished himself politically.

  61. Who is mule sata?he is party of family grouping who have formed an alliance with the aim of getting lid of lungu using hh as route to power.
    Way forward
    #please secure the health/security of the president this team is upto something.
    I know they are out to support hh who has offered them kaseba to be running mate to win them. They ve miscalculated the move.
    #so mulenga was planted to do something at state house.
    #Question what wrong has lungu done to deserve this attack?
    #Observation this action actually as won more support for lungu

  62. Mulenga Sata was not a factor in PF and will not become one in UPND. And in case Zambia is not a monarch where sons and daughters, nephews aunties etc inherit the reigns of power. This actually was demonstrated when KK wanted to groom his sons to take over from him but zambians rejected kK and all stood for in a shameful landslide defeat in 1991. Miles and Dry Scott attempted the same when Sata died but Zambians said NO, NO, NO. As you go to UPND I wish a lucky defeat awaiting you in August 2016. Don’t say I was not told.

  63. The PF is now stronger without the name of Sata. This name has become contaminated in politics to the extent that it has become adversely contagious. It is good we are getting rid of it permanently from PF. while we do appreciate that PF was founded by Sata members of his family should not use it to win sympathy. If truth be told Sata failed Zambians by embracing such elements as Kabimba, Guy Scott, Fred Mmembe. Towards his last days on earth things in Zambia were only drifting without a pilot. Mmembe was actually in charge of the country through his remote control connections.

  64. Mulenga sata i thought you are wise,this is a worst decision you have made there is no future where you have gone.viva ECL.

  65. This is what happened after Michael Sata and ELC won the elections, so mpombo wi bilima taulafika, then bangoshe tabeka chulu chimo. Make no mistake PF and ELC will form the next government.

  67. August 11 will tell. so stop this pick pick na pick dolly of this one will win and this one wont. Its a tight election, we all don’t know. So can you all stop cheating people immediately. RIGHT NOW. Both PF and UPND stand equal chances of winning. So stop these psychological games

  68. I still urge people of Goodwill to hold on to need for intensive prayer and discernment to let God Alone reveal in the sub-conscience of each individual on whom has anointed as the next President and which Party is to be in Government. There is no need to become Grasshoppers yet. As for Adopted Hon. Mulenga Sata thanks for disappointing God who actually favoured you with Ministerial Appointment just for the respect of your deceased beloved Dad. Go well who knows what next….. in Bemba we say “Bayafye umutelelwe, tabasha balona nangu ukuponta!

  69. Quite shocked me am. You mean politicians even a pretence of a politician like Mulenga Sata can be this myopic? They can’t see beyond their short noses surely? This is the end of his political career this boy. There will be no dad Sata to help him resurrect his career which was just starting under Lungu. And the Lungu team will have no reason or motivation to forgive the boy. He is a true disciple of Judas.
    Anyway that is that, now let’s move on. Dr Canissius Banda, have you considered who will be paying your rents after August 11? I suggest that you get back your job as medical doctor in good time before your party is retired from the political lanscape.

  70. All those without G12 certificates are still leaving. At the End PF will be with Educated leaders.

  71. Mulenga Sata has done some home b4 defecting from his late father’s party, PF to UNDP. He has read the mood of the people on 11th August 2016. His instinct tells him that Captain Lungu’s Titanic PF ship is In distress and will soon sink. Mulenga has chosen to jump off the ship b4 it capsizes.The PF Titanic ship is wrecking and Captain Lungu has no idea of how to steer the ship to safety. RB is advising Captain Lungu on how to rig the 2016 elections but will fail becoz the ship is sinking. Sata,Sampa,Scot etc are jumping from the ship wreck to safety. Well done Mulenga Sata ! Lungu and PF must fall#

  72. PF SHOULD NOT PANIC BEACUSE AS MULENGA HIMSELF HAS SAID HIS FATHER MUST TURNING IN HIS GRAVE TO HEAR HIS SON TURN AGAINST HIM, SHAME. ITS A NAKED SECRET THAT THE ” BIG FEMALE FISH” WILL SOON JOIN HH AS WELL SO AS TO SHOW THAT ITS ALL INCLUSIVE PARTY. PLEASE ALL MEMBERS OF THE CARTEL LEAVE PF AND JOIN HH AND REGRET AFTER 11 AUGUST. THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER DEFECTORS TO UPND HAVE CREATED HEADACHE FOR HH, NKOMBO, MWEETWA AND OTHERS THAN THE ARFICIAL SMILES THEY PUTTING UP AT DEFECTION RALLIES. THEY DO NOT KNOW WERE TO ADOPT YOU BECAUSE THEY MEMBERS LINED UP ALREADY. I PIT MULENGA, MWAICHE WAILUFYA WE MWINE. SHAME

  73. UPND IS NOW A “SMALL PF”
    It is shameful what is going on in our party. I look closely at who is joining the party from PF and can see very soon UPND will be swallowed up by these people. Our identity is gone. Our leaders are quiet. PF is now very loud in and outside the party. What has gone wrong?
    KK did not need the opponents to get independence, Chiluba never allowed MMD to be swallowed by the opposition to come into power. MCS did not depend on the opposition to go to State House.
    I do not see HH making it this year for the blunder he has made. This is a national disaster. BB

    • HH thinks he is popular by attracting these frustrated pipo but what he is forgeting is that they know he will not win the elections after August 11, so there will be call for a convetion and I can assure you a non tonga will emerge as a president of that party! Why do I say so? Delegates from non tonga speaking provinces who are many will gang up and remove the tribal tag from UPND by voting a non tonga and that will be the end of dominance by tongas in that party and in the end they will be ploting to form another tonga party.

  74. THIS IS A GOOD LESSON FOR DIE HARD POLITICIANS. NO PERSON OWNS A PARTY BCOZ IT IS A PUBLIC PROPERTY. WAIT AND SEE.
