Former UPND Bweengwa Member of Parliament Highvie Hamududu has officially launched a new political party called Party for National Unity (PNU).
Addressing a news conference during the launch of the party in Lusaka today, Mr Hamududu who served as MP from 2006 until 2011 when the UPND declined his application to recontest the seat said the aim of launching the new party is to unify the nation.
Mr Hamududu, a UNZA trained Economist said PNU will aim at promoting the true spirit of national unity and inclusiveness in all spheres of national building.
He said it is not a secret that Zambia is currently highly polarised and if not managed well, the country could end up in a chaotic position.
“The two main forms of polarization that are causing anxiety are political and economic. The country is being torn apart by political extremism that has little room for political dialogue in the country,” Mr Hamududu said.
Mr Hamududu who also unveiled Mr Anthony Lusaka as the party’s Interim Vice President said the party will be unveiling its political and economic programme predicated on closing both the political and economic divides that have beset our country.
“This will be undoubtedly be a tomorrow government driven by a tolerant, democratic, unifying, pragmatic and futuristic team. After 53 years of Independence, the country is getting bitterly divided along tribal and regional lines and there is no unity of purpose across the political landscape. Politics have become more divisive, violent, petty, personal, ethnic and non-issue based,” he said.
He added, “The 2016 general election was the worst demonstration of the above, threatening the very fabric of our cherished national unity. 50 years after Independence the much preached about economic emancipation that was promised at Independence is a tattered dream at best.”
“The majority of our people are not meaningfully participating in economic activities. Debt levels are again at an all-time with foreign debt being calculated at over USD 6.7 billion as at end of 2016, created by unprecedented levels of economic mismanagement,” he said.
Mr Hamududu said, “Personal and personal related emoluments account for approximately 50% of government budgetary revenue, starving the transformative and inclusive development agenda despite the positive economic growth rates in the recent past. The latest poverty figures reveal that 40.8 percent of the country’s population.”
He said under PNU, they believe that the next 50 years shall be the best that Zambia will ever experience.
“We invite every Zambian, regardless of tribe, race, creed and gender to come as we endeavour to fulfil the vision of the founding fathers of our great nation that envisaged Zambia as a land of work, joy and unity. We will soon be unveiling a balanced and an all-inclusive interim executive committee that will lead the party towards an elective national conference,” he said.

I think being Tonga is being disadvantaged regrettably.
Being Bemba is like having been born on the A side
Thanks

This is tempting to join….. Should I leave Ba Miyanda? Because we are just 10 members.
Only thing about that party in “unity”. I don’t know whom to unit with, everybody loves me.
Junior HH (High I’ve Hamududu), there is no unity you can bring in Zambia when you are dealing with tribes from the North and the East. Just look at the way your ka small Party is being welcomed by such people like Mushota and others. You are just wasting your energy. Had you formed your ka Party with a goal of dividing Zambia into North-Western Zambia and North-eastern Zambia, I would have happily joined your Ka- Party.
There goes Hamudunderhead!!!
I see!!
Dead on arrival!
ask kabimba, Kavindele, Magende, Tayeli, Miyanda, Frank Bwalya, Chipimo, Milupi, etc all those who have formed parties before, starting a now party is not an easy game.
Hallucinations are free!
Even at your party launch you fail to draw reasonable crowds!
Ask Kabimba, Kavindele, BY, Chipimo etc.
Its hot in there!
HH is a real man! Twice denied the Presidency unfairly!
Get lost Mushota you are trying to arouse tribal feelings in the nation because you are too far away washing old Scottish people’s underwear for you to care
We wish him well. He can do better than the other HH who has tried and failed to define U.P.N.D.
Am Bemba and have interacted with Highvie before. He is a very intelligent, humble and down-to-earth person. He does not have the arrogance of Hakainde. He does certainly present a very good alternative for Zambia for many of us who are ready to work with people from other regions like the Southern Province. Am sure, I will be running into Highvie one of these days and getting to discuss with him in terms of what he stands for. As Zambians, we need to be a lot more open-minded with each other if we are going to continue to co-exist. Another party run by somebody else from the South is very healthy for Zambia. Let us not give the impression only Northerners, Easterners, Muchingans or Luapulans can lead political parties and aspire for leadership.
@Mushota:
KKKKK! I entirely agree with you when say “Being Bemba is like having been born on the A side”….with A in this case meaning having been born on the AN.US side instead of the V side!!
THIS IS THE END OF UPND. PRETTY SURE NO ONE WOULD LIKE TO REMAIN IN UPND WHEN GBM TAKES OVER FROM AN ALLEGED CRIMINAL, HH. OR SHOULD I JUST SAY THIS IS ANOTHER TRIBAL INCLINATION ACID TEST FOR OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THE SOUTH. LET’S SEE WHO REMAINS UNDER GBM.
This the best long awaited news.
I have never been a pf zealot.
Am now behind Hamududu
UNPD will now be dissected. Ni Lungu chabe. Keep hh mu jele mwamene umo until we are satisfied that he is no longer a threat to our democratic governance.
This is the real HH not the other tribal one in chimbokaila (jere man). Come 2021 half of southern province will be PNU. This marks the beginning of the end of the up & down party (Unpd)
Why form a party after being dropped or thrown out? Behave like Chipimo Jr. who saw it fit to out right form an own party! By the way this PNU brings the number of political parties i Zambia to how many?
If there is a Tonga who will become president of Zambia, I think that Tonga is Hamududu.
Not serious, he is talking for 50 years?? what kind of vision is that?? he will not even be alive??? We want action and change within 5 years.. If he has formed a Party because of being dropped?? then that’s not serious..
@Mushota. That is why this union of NE Rhodesia and NW Rhodesia (now called Zambia) is no longer viable. Look at how the so called Zambia is split according to the voting pattern for 2016 elections, it speaks volumes of two different peoples pretending to be living together. We are different. So like wise Zambia must split accordingly.
Hamudu, you seem not to understand the major problem in Zed at the moment. Tribal issues are so important and forget about that nonsense of pretending. The north and the east has come together and whatever you are doing at the moment will not work
UPND and Tongas at it again?
Give it up
Cant stand them
Thanks
BB2014,2016
Tonga’s are best, radical, not those @Ndobo cousins of Lozi kind…. Imagine their Kuomboka took HH to treason cell, and they are so silent as if they are still in wet plains.
Anyway, Milupi and Mulokela tries, not those disgrace of Sakwiba, Akashambatwa, Inyambo…
What do Bemba’s have now, Kambwili?
Very stupid girl with tribalistic metality shame bembas or monkeys which one
Nostra I will always like you, but I think you are wrong here Bembas have the X factor..In zambia.
Thanks
BB2014,2016
Wiseman – Monkeys ? WHo is being tribal?
Thanks
BB2014,2016
It happened na kuli ba Milupi, where is his party? it is now junior HH
Mushota, I have been following you a while and do value your usual out-of-context commentary. I have always thought you simply love humour and comedy. However, your opinions about the Tonga people depict the kind of upbringing you may have experienced. The superiority complex is always a disease and if I am to take you seriously, you are beginning to cross the boundary of reason, logic, common sense and sanity. You are in an environment where the black race is stereotyped as some form of curse. It could be the way we think about ourselves. Your reasoning and mindset exhibited in most of your posts justify the judgment of your current neighbors about you. If you are truly some PhD material as you claim, think bigger picture, context and good judgement in what you post.
Hoo ya Mushota, us are undisputable X-factor.
Calling us monkeys is wrong, someone need apologise.
Your Unity Party is already failing. I resign.
@2.2 HOW DO YOU KNOW MUSHOTA IS A GIRL AND BEMBA? PLEASE, DON’T TAKE THESE NAMES HERE AS TRUE IDENTITY NAMES OR WHAT SEX BLOGGERS CLAIM TO BE. MOST OF THE IDENTITY CLAIMS IF NOT ALL ARE FAKE.
Jjp my heartfelt apologies.
I completely take my words back.
I feel horrible
Thanks
BB2014,2016
Kaiser’s strategy?
Why is the PF desperate to sponsor the launching of a party that they know will not divide any votes for UPND with the current situation in our country. I am proud of who Iam as cute lady born from a Tonga man and Bemba lady. You will notice f00ls from their multitude of words just to show up they have spoken on every thread at LT. However, I speak with wisdom as one that is ordained with it. PF will be cerebrating this even when they know the launched party will not survive like the rainbow. Its irrational to think that UPND will fight the unity party as PF fought the Democratic Front.
Hope he is not funded to divide upnd
Why launch a party without a manifesto??? What is the rush?
HE IS FUNDED. THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER.
This guy is a genius and have lots to offer to this great nation.
The only problem was he spent too much time under HH who is a tribal leader and short sighted for that matter.
Anyways, better late than never – just bring in other tribes as well in your party so that together we can slowly but painfully kill UPND
Dream on Hamududu is a fly.UPND will live on.We know our HH will come out strong.We shall use all means possible to make sure HH is president in the next few months.
“… all means possible to make sure HH is president in the next few months” That’s kind of an overstatement. You need to grow up or at least come back to reality. 🙂
Good, clean and issue based introduction. No insults, name calling or threats. That’s what Zambia needs. Hope they continue in this manner.
What’s the economic agenda? Only Sinkamba has outlasted them all because he chose dagger from very early on. What is the symbol by the way? I think now Sinkamba has involved DRC and soon to include Malawi, Botswana, Lesotho and parts of Namibia in his wrangles with late King Leopold of Europe. He is also in search of reunification. Zambia has strong people.
By the way its not a secret that HH is the one who has single handedly brought politics on triabal lines and violent as well. If you remove HH from politics sanity will be brought back to Zambian politics.
Thats why i support treason charge, every normal Zambian must support this.
those in power can either bring division or unity,its been proven throughout human history both biblical times and political era.your statement is a living proof of people who champion division while blaming others.
@Planzos matutis self denial is the springboard for disunity and thereafter disaster. Listen…. No matter what, upnd will not accept results if Lungu wins! Do you remember?
True, this hh is the one who has brought tribalism because when Mazoka was around, i did not even know my tribe but immediately Sejani said ONLY A TONGA WILL TAKE OVER FROM MAZOKA, i started asking my mother what tribe i was. Keep chi hh under lock and key until death does him part.
Lying b4 pf we had no official tribal politics,now tribal politics is the only clear PF policy.
@ 7.1 planzo
Don’t always blame those in power.
You go to Mongu and refuse to give way to presidential motorcade and then you say those in power can bring division or or unity?
You refuse to acknowledge and disrespect and provoke those in power then you say those in power can bring division or unity?
“First, respect for the head of state is a cardinal rule in international relations and democracies. The incidents in Western Province appear provocative. It should be possible to combine polite respect, and adherence to Zambian protocol, with disagreement and even legal challenge. I repeat that the UK, along with the rest of the international community, have recognised the Zambian government. “, says the British High Commissioner
HH MUST BE ERASED FROM ZAMBIAN POLITICS. HE HAS BEEN A DISASTER AND ALWAYS WANTING TO DEVIDE ZAMBIA ALONG TRIBAL LINES. THE ONLY DISADVANTAGE WITH THE NEW PARTY IS THAT ALL TONGAS WILL LEAVE UPND (AS THE NEW PARTY IS FORMED BY A TONGA MAN) AND CREATE ANOTHER UPND DISGUISED IN THE NEW PARTY. HH HAS DIVIDED ZAMBIA TRIBALLY AND IT MAY TAKE A LONG TIME TO RE-UNITE THE COUNTRY.
Short memories is a curse on some Zambians @ munone. Check on Chipimo article and read @Nondo comment
Short memories is a curse on some Zambians @ munone. Check on Chipimo article and read @Nondo comment
I agree with you munone. Before HH came on the political scene everything was OK.
You mean PF and Lungu. HH was there before Lungu. All this tribalism started with Satan and got bigger, really BIG, with Lungu.
True JFM, even though they are always praising Mwanawasa, as far back as 2006 they have always voted hh and upnd!!
remember the “mapatizya formula?
It’s in national interests to remove HH from political arena. Let him stick to business and leave politics to politicians who have the energy to bring Zambians together. HH is a failure at politics, he must be retired before he messes up this country.
@8.1 YES, HH WAS HERE BEFORE LUNGU, BUT, HH WAS ACCEPTED AS PRESIDENT IN UPND BECAUSE OF BEING TONGA. HH CAME INTO POLITICS WITH CONFUSION. YES, LUNGU JUST CAME IN LATER BUT WITH NO CONFUSION. IN FACT GUY SCOTT ALMOST BROUGHT THE CONFUSION. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR ECL’s HUMBLENESS, GUY SCOTT WOULD SUCCEEDED IN BRINGING CONFUSION.
This is real Zambia where every voice of reason must thrive and every voice of violence and egocentricity must be condemned with the contest it deserves. I wish we had more parties such as PNU and NAREP.
How many Councillors and MPs do Narep have if they are that good?
it is his democratic right… Nothing to do with HH or unable to stand on UPND…. Hope he will offer proper checks and balances to PF rather than deride opposition parties….
Be like the Labour party of Great Britain…
Don’t think like Mushota, though she claims to be UK but talks as if she is shangombo…. or Kaputa….
If he is going to be like the Labour party of the UK then PF and Lungu have nothing to worry about.
I have a strong feeling that this party is formed specifically to divide the UPND by way of defections from UPND to Hamududu! I see the sad end of UPND!
There cannot be confusion. There are many parties headed by loners that have not taken off. Miyanda, Mulongoti, Milupi, Nawakwi, Kabimba, Muliokela, Chipimo, Chanda, Chishimba, etc ad nauseam. Why should Hamudunderhead’s take off?
He is just increasing the number of parties. The direction is already which party will be next in governance. UNIP, MMD, PF, UPND with or without HH. Forget about this tribal Tonga, bemba talk.
Welcome to the crazy game Hamududu. All the intelligent people in Zambia know that you are being Bankrolled by the PF because you are as dirty as the PF. YOU ARE STABBING YOUR KIN AND KITH IN THE BACK. YOUR KA PARTY IS DOOMED FOR FAILURE. GO ON, WE SHALL MEET ON THE FIELD.
@13 Sinono, The PROBLEM you have is that A TONGA is NOT SUPPOSED TO THINK DIFFERENTLY FROM OR OPPOSE HH then SUCH A PERSON IS SIDING WITH HH’s OPPONENTS!! HIGHVIE HAMUDUDU was a very eloquent and efficient MP in UPND. HIS DEBATES WERE ALWAYS BASED ON ISSUES, he offers SOME FRESH AIR and THOSE THAT LOOK TO ISSUE BASED POLITICS THE WAY UPND STARTED CAN SUPPORT HIM! You may worried that the held tribal rant that BEMBA DON’T WANT TO WORK OTHERS IS DYING! There is GBM, NALUMANGO IN UPND, there is now ANTONY LUSAKA IN PNU and in PF the two TOP SLOTS ARE HELD BY NSENGA and A LOZI!! So be OBJECTIVE!!
No Sinono. This is not how we should take it. For your information, Zambia will soon produce a Tonga President but in the most unexpected of ways. I am not saying Hamududu will. What I sense is that a Tonga will be president but may not be a product of UPND. That is how I see things. So, look at things broadly.
SPOT ON SINONO
It will not work. How come Madam Wina has failed to influence Lozis? Ba Hamadudu stop being used for the sake of money. You have been in UPND for so long what unifying the country are you talking about? They will still insult as being tonga mulejampuka.
It will fail lamentably Hamududu has no muscle to convince voters not even in Bweengwa. His paymasters will regret. Southern province is not for sale.
We need more of a movement than a kantemba party to restore democracy and decentralized governance structure or a Federal system! All governance institutions have collapsed! To contain this, we need to compartmentalize the country into states. Any rot that starts in a particular state remains in that state. We can share the national debt among those states and see who gets out of debt faster! A Federal System is the way to go! Stop cheating yourselves with this “One Zambia One Nation” fantasy from KK! When it comes to sharing the national cake, there is no such thing as one Zed!
The political landscape is saturated with a lot of parties.What have is his party going to add?There is no need of having political parties which will just exist on paper.Anything formed out of bitterness does not stand.It takes time to establish and get support from the masses.
On the issue of too many political parties, there can be an argument made for PAC, NRP and PNU sitting down and forming one party going forward. It might actually result in them becoming a formidable force.
I am in. Please contact me by giving me a line here.
New party is welcome. Zambia will soon have a collision government, which provide better services to the people.
Zambia has got a “COLLISION” Government already! No need to wait!
It is called Lungus PF. The collision is going to be a very spectacular TRAIN SMASH when the borrowed kaloba runs out due to PF thievery and the interest cannot be paid. And the IMF refuses to bail out these bankrupts unless the RULE OF LAW is upheld, not the PF kangaroo Kourts bribed by Lungu.
Bad news is — it will be poor Zambians that suffer. PF has stolen enough of the TEN BILLION to last their lifetimes.
This is the Zambia we know, united with purpose. Let us go back to our roots those of us who are Zambians, don’t mind these foreigners in upnd and upp.
We told Hakainde Hichilema that his undemocratic tendency of not allowing a Convention and that of choosing GBM as Running Mate will have a toll on his prospects. We are now seen the emergence of a new HH under Hamududu confirming our point. I see Tongaland being divided on this matter and it will not be Edgar Lungu to be blamed but HH and UPNDs neglecting of original UPND members in favour of Sata’s ‘family forest’ !
I think the political landscape is ready for a new political player with the right message. People are tired of PF and UPND fighting and if a new party comes along that shows inclusivity in its leadership and programmes, they could sweep the political landscape. Highgive used to debate very intelligently in Parliament so I believe this is a person who has a great message for the people.
What makes the donkeys in UPND hallucinate kanshi? To be brutally honest, these guys are just like ba Maibuye, they perpetuated violence but time as it is, proved them worthless and no one ever mentions them in our political history.
UPND has no platform, no strategy and above all no message to convince potential voters. All they know is HH, but the question is who is HH and who cares about him anyway? PF came on the scene with a message and true to their word Zambia is now slowly but surely getting it’s place in Africa through stead development and NOT blind and hero worshiping.
First CHANGE THE NAME OF YOUR PARTY BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL BE INSULTING WHEN THEY CALL YOUR PARTY WITH FIRST TWO LETTERS PANU..SOUNDS LIKE PANYU PAKO
please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes please!
WELCOME HAMUDUDU, this is a GOOD MOVE! You HAVE BEEN IN PARLIAMENT, IN OPPOSITION and thus you have a very good idea on how things run! THOSE ATTACKING YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT WE HAVE RUN OUT OPTIONS FROM THE CURRENT CROP OF “PROMINENT” POLITICIANS as most of them will come with the same mentality!IGNORE THOSE CRITICIZING YOU! It is all bcoz in Zambia WE ARE NOT USED TO HARD WORK, WE LIKE TO GET THINGS ALREADY MADE, INHERITING POLITICAL PARTIES and CRUSHING INTERNAL DECENT.That is what happened in UPND and is happening in PF! JUST WORK HARD, YOU WILL HAVE SYMPATHIZERS and as PF tries to push Lungu or Mutati and UPND hang on to HH, YOU WILL BE A NEW ALTERNATIVE,just look at EMMANUEL MACRON IN FRANCE,BEATING ALL LONG KNOWN POLITICIANS!!
Maybe this new party can dislodge UPND as the main opposition party; UPND has failed dismally to provide the much needed checks and balances.
Count me in please President Hamadudu
Being tribal like Mushota is like amafi amapwelekete and the nose.
you think so? if you do then be it
amafi is you na HH
This Mushota is one vile desperate attention seeker. It’s stupidity beyond comprehension. If she’s a female then she’s obviously not getting any dick in life. I suppose it ,not she, needs something to fill the void. What a waste of sperm
No he is not funded they can’t just tolerate another tribe to be heading UPND so they are preparing in case GBM takes over.
Nkani izibika GBM is going to lead UPND very very soon mark my word !
Good move Hamududu
@Mushota,Isaiah 2:12 The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled)
Isaiah 23:9 The LORD Almighty planned it, to bring down her pride in all her splendor and to humble all who are renowned on the earth.
hope hh is reading your post @kilo, cos it perfectly fit him.
I 100% agree with Munone.before HH became UPND leader,tribalism in politics was almost not there as Zambian politicians worked together in UNIP and MMD.the 1991 MMD had FTJ Chiluba,Godfrey Miyanda,General Christon Tembo,Sikota Wina,Bennie Mwiinga,etc.BUT HEY AFTER ANDERSON MAZOKA DIED,HERE CAME HH WHO PREACHED TRIBALISM FROM DAY ONE!!!since 2006 HH has been preaching tribal politics in 3.5 provinces.he openly used to tell them that nobody from Southern,Western and N/Western has been Zambian president,so you must vote for me(HH) as one of you.this is the message HH has been preaching since 2006.ONCE HH IS REPLACED AS UPND LEADER,THAT WILL MARK THE END (or it will reduce drastically) OF TRIBAL POLITICS IN ZAMBIA!!
WELL DONE MR HAMUDUDU FOR YOUR NEW PARTY.PLEASE INCLUDE ALL TRIBES IN YOUR…
This is the beginning of the end of UPND. The Tongas are divided now. Thank you PF to help create this division in Tonga kingdom. Now HH can come out. The game is over. Only genius can see what is going on here. I love it!
This is another Briefcase Party being bankrolled by Lungu and PF to try and neutralise UPND and HH popularity in Southern Province. This is just a way of trying to Divide and Rule the Tongas. Most Tongas will see thru this Divide and Rule Tactic. HH is now a well known brand so the PF Hamadudu Project will fail. #Release HH and let the Petition be heard in Court.
This culture of resorting to starting splinter parties whenever differences arise within an existing party, is detrimental to a nation’s political system. When are we going to grow? When are we going to learn to face each other to resolve differences of opinion? When are we going to learn to exist side by side, even though opposed to, and yet not antagonistic to each other? That is what “NATIONAL UNITY” would mean. It’s what it would have to entail. There is always a price to pay, interests to sacrifice, for the good of the nation, for the benefit of unity.
Compliant to Lusaka times
I have been relying on news update from you online publications and find it sad to see you allow hate crimes to go unpunished.
You have allowed Mushota to continue on her bloggers bordering on hate crimes.
Could you please ensure you investigate are latest blogs and use of hate speech.
Black people in the world have come a long way and we should not accept retrogresive behaviour in the name to politics.
There’s also an insulter called Chilyata who has been given a lot of space for hate speech on Lusaka Crimes
I think Mushota is someone known by LT.
…and that thing called nez.
Iam joining this party. Lungu’s party is useless and so is HH’s party which fails to deal with issues practically but always makes blunders and therefore fails to make progress. A party of National Unity is what we want
Hakaivotela Heka junior….Kikikiki. The Real movement is coming. Don’t get excited yet. PNU is not a catchy name for a party that wishes to sweep the tables. PNU already sounds like an insul.t!
There are only two things here. Either this country is cursed or the citizens from this country are themselves cursed. When an academician forms a political party I would expect the least of civilized and exposed people, with analytical knowledge to be so tribally inclined. When tribalism finds space among the elites and knowledgeable citizens then it will be very difficult to sell the message of peace and unity. If you cannot tolerate and appreciate one another why then share sovereignty which is based on tribal hatred as if the country was rebuilt after civil war. Even Angola that saw bloody civil war has its citizens accommodative of one another. Why is this tribal talk so relevant these days?? It is social media and sounding very immaterial to suggest nothing can happen to a…
to a country with these tribalism talks. Unity must prevail through tolerance, otherwise, one sees trouble
@ 7.1 planzo
Don’t always blame those in power.
You go to Mongu and refuse to give way to presidential motorcade and then you say those in power can bring division or or unity?
You refuse to acknowledge and respect those in power then you say those in power can bring division or unity?
You provoke those in power then you say those in power can bring division or unity?

says the British High Commissioner
why do pf cadres close their eyes when analyzing national development,you claim mongu incidence when the issues of division started way back,tongas were insulted and the veep had to issue an apology,lungu said i will lock up HH months before 2016 elections,davis chama said tongas have to cross breed if the want to have a presdo,what were national prayers called for?who displayed coffin?who has blocked campaigns claiming national security,the list is endless,so exposing our submind wont solve the root cause,the mongu incidence is just the resultant,the british high commissioner went further in his statement that zambia has witnessed some dictatorial trends unfolding in zambia,and he said though the mongu incidence is regrettable it didnot warrant a treason offence.
It is an interesting scenario when one who has his/her eyes closed accuses the person next to him as having his/her eyes closed.
One gentleman sang a song saying,
A man asked a blind man, “Mwalila mbuya!”
And the blinds answered, “tafimoneka”.
The man asked asked the blind man, “manje iwe ungaone bwanji koma Mendoza uliye!”
This the scenario I see with comment above.
How can you say PF cadres close eyes when analyzing? Is it PF cadres who failed to count the fourteen days during the stale and expired petition?
Who the closes eyes? And nafuti ma preliminaries yayamba. And you still think it is PF closing eyes?
This is why I say if you eyes are closed and you are not aware, you will accuse the person next to you of not seeing, kanshi niwebo.
welcome
Another HH forming a part. Lol . Tongas awe mwandi
It’s how the ancients used to resolve their differences – you go West, I go East.
I think Zambians should at least give this noble man an audience…..
2021 Vote PNU
I thank you
Another HH party formed
The man has no house of his own. He is renting a house from his in-laws. How is he going to unite the country with his reckless behaviour because he served as an MP for two terms and came out with nothing. Let him use the cheque he has received from Lungu wisely.
just call ka conference where we can freely elect leadership
Mushota keep on bucking because you are a Bemba with no traditional teachings, Tawafundwa kabili limbi ulimwana wamubuhule. I am a bemba and only you who is from a mixed blood and not a true Bemba a confused lady/ gentleman can continue making such attacks so that you bring perpetual hatred with us by our colleagues. Amafi yabuchende banyela ukutali
This is a wasted effor, cash and time. This little thing ain’t going anywhere because it’s obvious it’s a divide and rule thing. Chill Hamududu and reason like a learned person. We have too many parties around including that of Ba Miyanda who we think is more of a man of integrity than yourself. Just do a STAR thing and go back where you belong.
This Hamududu is being used the same way Mainza Chona was used to neutralise the Tonga/Bemba alliance to win the UNIP vice presidency in 1967. Bembas please keep away from victimising Tongas & political persecution of HH & leave it to the Easterners. You have nothing to lose other than fighting other peoples’ wicked battles. Kampyongo, Sunday Chanda, Amos Chanda, Mumbi Phiri, Davies Chama (Mushota , an LT editor fishing for a diplomatic post from PF as a press attache) are too dull to know that they are being used the same way Kambwili was used to attack Tongas. Have you ever heard Dora Siliya, Kaizer Zulu or Inonge opening their mouths carelessly on this issue yet they are chief enjoyers! I thought you were wise but obviously NOT! Ba Kapwepwe died a little for KK. He even gave KK,…
He even gave KK, Bemba ethnicity & a clan of abena Bowa, but where did he end up?
Despite their friendship from childhood, Kapwepwe and Kaunda drifted apart after leading Zambia to independence. In 1967 Kapwepwe led a rebellion within UNIP. He stood against Reuben Kamanga and won the position of deputy leader of UNIP. (Kapwepwe won because of support from Tonga because our so called Mbuyas voted “Kumawa Umodzi”). As a consequence, Kaunda promoted him to the position of Vice President. He used his new position to put forward economic policies that differed from Kaunda’s, but his views were sidelined. He also campaigned for the preservation of Zambian culture through the teaching of indigenous languages in schools. In August 1969, he offered to resign from the Vice Presidency as well as…
In August 1969, he offered to resign from the Vice Presidency as well as the deputy leadership of UNIP. This move was precipitated by tribal friction within UNIP ( Bembas vs your so called “mbuyas”). Source: Wikipedia
Kapwepwe’s life in UNIP began drawing to an end when he was linked with rumours of a new party called the United Progressive Party (UPP) that had been formed on the Copperbelt. He did not own up until Kaunda dismissed four cabinet ministers on suspicion of being clandestine members of the new party. In August 1971, Kapwepwe resigned from UNIP and the government and announced that he was, indeed, the leader of UPP. In December 1971 he won a by-election for the Mufulira West constituency, and became his party’s sole representative in parliament. Kaunda was not pleased with…
Kaunda was not pleased with this development. So, on 4 February 1972, he banned UPP and imprisoned 122 members of the party, including Kapwepwe. Kaunda’s excuse was that UPP was an instrument of the Rhodesian, South African and Portuguese governments, which favoured White minority rule. Kapwepwe was kept in prison until 31 December 1972. By then, Kaunda backed by strong political ties with China (The Chinese were critical of European colonial rule of African territories,therefore, sided with a number of African freedom fighters like Kaunda during the liberation struggles for independence. see Taylor, 2006 for an analysis of Sino-African relationship) had neutralized any threat that Kapwepwe could pose: the Chona Commission, under the chairmanship of Mainza Chona, was appointed in…
the Chona Commission, under the chairmanship of Mainza Chona, was appointed in February 1972 to make recommendations for the constitution of a ‘one-party participatory democracy’ (i.e. a one-party state). After collecting four months of public hearings, the commission’s report was submitted to Kaunda in October 1972. The Second Republic (i.e., the one-party state) was inaugurated on 1 January 1973, the day after Kapwepwe was released from detention. Source: Wikipedia. Note Mainza Chona was used to neutralise the 1967 Bemba/Tonga alliance the same way this Hamududu chap is being used. Kapwepwe was harassed even after he had been politically emasculated. He was arrested in February 1973 for illegal possession of two guns. He received a two-years suspended sentence. The UNIP-controlled…
This is very good. PF should help him establish himself in those difficult Western, North Western and Southern Provinces to split the UPND vote. Really they gave us a scare this last election! We can’t allow their votes to grow any further. Let’s set the cats among the pigeons to scupper UPND!
Maybe, even, why not give monetary assistance to any Tonga to set up a Party that will work for national unity? Let’s have more!
They can share HH’s votes. Make him less greedy!
The UNIP-controlled Zambian media reported that Kapwepwe had sent people for military training outside Zambia. He sued the Zambia Broadcasting Services, the Times of Zambia and the Zambia Daily Mail for libel and won when he proved that they had made false reports. Source: Wikipedia
Kapwepwe turned his back on politics and went to live on his farm in Chinsali. In the spirit of national unity, Kaunda asked Kapwepwe to return to UNIP in September 1977, which he did. To test his erstwhile friend’s sincerity, Kapwepwe stood for the 1978 UNIP’s one-party presidential nomination against Kaunda. He was disqualified by last-minute changes to UNIP’s constitution. He retired for good from politics and returned to Chinsali. He died on 26 January 1980, after suffering from a stroke two days…

In 1991, FTJ was voted for, by 8 of the then 9 provinces of Zambia (including the Tongas, Lozis and Kaondes/Lundas/Luvales of Southern, Western and NW, Zambia except the Easterners (your so called Mbuyas/ MMD supporter were being burnt alive in their village huts in Eastern province). These Easterners remained UNIP & FDD until RB was hijacked into MMD by LPM. Your so called Mbuyas did not support Sata in 2011 except for a single seat in Chama South (now Muchinga) under Effron Lungu. Now the entire Eastern province is suddenly PF because Edgar Lungu from the East is in the seat! There is tribalism in Zambia (we are all guilty of this sad state of affairs) but the dimension this tribalism has…
The dimension this tribalism & political/tribal persecution has taken under E. Lungu is unprecedented not even comparable to the treatment of Kapwepwe by Kaunda! We the people from the North have been used by these “Malawians”/Easterners at the expense of national unity & real democracy. Please leave the majority voiceless rural Bemba speakers out of the impending and self-inflicted, civil strife. Leave it to the Easterners to sort it out with the Tongas. Koswe alasuma no kuputilisha! Napwisha mukwai!
You are God sent. It is very sad that this day and age, we should be talking tribe? Even at places of work Tongas are afraid people. You can see it in their faces. This is very sad. Now we have children who are called Zambians because they come from 2, 3 4 tribes! Mr Hamududu is free to launch a party of his choice yes, but my question go the Registrar of Societies is, how do you allow this new party to have a name and symbol very close or almost similar to an already existing one? Let’s wait and see how things will unfold but I sense something not very okey with Mr. HIGH V.
I am from the North both mother and father (But I have Tonga, Kaonde and Lozi etc etc nieces and nephews), but I am extremely hurt and dissapointed with the tribal politics caused by small ethnic groups (Nyanja’s) pitching largely tolerant Bembas and Tongas against each other. We are not both perfect. FTJ using Sata to Expel “Mwana Muzuma” MAZOKA from the MMD for selfish 3rd Term ambitiions set us on this inexorable self-destructive path. There are bembas fishing in Lake Kariba and migrant Tonga farmers in Mpika, Serenje, Mkushi etc. Why should we start killing each other beacuse of belly politicians? God help us!
The beginning of the disintegration of UPND. Brilliant move Higgie. Let us take it to another level. There is too much bitterness in UPND and at least I have got an alternative now.
Well done Mr Hamududu I wish you well task one retire HH back to fafming.please
Smells like a PF sponsored party
Mushota your comments are disgusting, you should be ashamed of yourself. Where you born normal?
Yes mr hamududu, good thinking. your party is welcome. I wish u success.
This is the beauty of democracy when one fills he can no longer sit at the table with an egoist he moves on weldone and welcome my young brother HH from Bwenga now once you gain momentum call for a convention
It won’t work if Lungu have sponsored. Lungu.’a plans are not God’s plan. Lungu is behaving like David in the bible. David took someone’s wife then decided to kill the husband of that woman. Lungu stole the elections then has decided to cage the winner, facts cannot change but figures can be manipulated. God is watching.

PF brought tribalism on the scene starting with SATA’s appointments. They also introduced violence starting with factional fighting with Kabimba and the others – mainly Bembas – on the other side. PF has been using tribalism to discredit UPND even when HH has reached out to them. What are you talking about?
Hamududu should have brought those unifying ideas to his former party. But as usual everyone wants to be president. The people of Bweengwa rejectes him hence he was not adopt by the upnd. Everytime these guys are left out they either change the party or format their own, very selfish way of doing things. This one is not going anywhere kuwayawayafye!
It will die like mpombos and Frank bwalya’s; but he has a right to form his party
Mushota you are a bad seed. don’t talk on our behalf as Bembas. we are not like you. Anyways, lets learn to comment on the issues raised constructively. we seem to diverge from the topical issue and start arguing on what we want to fight, Tribalism. As youths, lets change our mentality and build our Zambia.
@Global world what about NEZ who insults the president day in day out? actually Mushota is better that NEZ is it because he/she is against HH?
THIS PARTY IF WELL BLENDED CAN BE THE SECOND CONTENDER AS UPND IS TECHNICALLY A DEAD PARTY WITHOUT ANY FUTURE
IF IT WINS MEMBERSHIP FROM SMALLER PARTIES IT CAN FORM THE SECOND BEST ALTERNATIVE
HAMMUNDUDU HAS SEEN THAT UPND IS GOING NOWHERE
This man served as an MP for Bweengwa for 10 solid years.He was not adopted in 2016 and now quits his party and forms his own????I thought him being an educated man he would have some shred of morals and integrity.The is the highest level of ingratitude beyond comprehension to UPND
HAMUDUDU is a great man,Thinking outside the Box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
