The United Party for National Development (UPND) has responded to the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) Deputy Media Director Antonio Mwanza on his remarks where he urged UPND President Hakainde Hichima to stop advertising what he called ignorance when HH made an allegation that gazetting bill 10 was illegal.
In a statement, UPND said that Antonio needs to instead be worried that the basic needs basket as reported by JCTR, indicate that the minimum monthly food basket for a family of 5 people has increased from K5,395 in January 2019 to K7,410 in January 2020 yet the majority of Zambians don’t earn that kind of money and that these are the things you should be looking at not HH.
Below is the full statement
Antonio hands-off HH
We have ignored your hate speech on President HH for too long thinking you will look back at your life and come to terms with reality that the man you are paid to despise played a role of a father in your life when he provided your educational needs.
We are not like you, so we will not proceed to say what happened later because at least he provided what you needed most without looking at you as someone’s child but as his son.
And today you want to refer to him as an ignorant person who seems not to understand the monkey tricks your government is playing to try and convince the people of Zambia so that they swallow the poisonous BILL 10 pill.
You are the last person to say anything malicious to President HH because of the love he showed you when no one looked at you because you were a nobody. But HH as a bally picked you and took you in his hands as a son needing a father but true to the definition of a spoiled ungrateful child, you turn around to say nasty things for wanting to dine with corrupt thieves and destroyers of our democracy.
Why not help your already stressed President fight corruption in his government which include the theft of life-saving drugs. His term of office is nearing its end but meanwhile the Zambian youth is still waiting for the 500,000 and one million jobs promised to them by Mr.Edgar Lungu. That is the man in desperate need of your attention by helping him respond to the needs of the youths in this country.
Antonio leave HH alone and help President Lungu deal with the country his government has plunged into being the fifth hungriest nation on the face of the earth. Those are the issues you are supposed to be looking at instead of wasting time to please your masters.
Antonio IMF won’t bail out Zambia because its debt is unsustainable following Zambia’s US$11 billion debt, 27% Chinese loan obligations, and another estimated US$3 billion owed to some foreign markers in euro bond among others, all these are problems you need to help your President deal with but because you are a spoiled child, your eyes are on HH who has nothing to do with your party’s appetite for borrowing.
Antonio you need to be worried that the basic needs basket as reported by JCTR, indicate that the minimum monthly food basket for a family of 5 people has increased from K5,395 in January 2019 to K7,410 in January 2020 yet majority of Zambians don’t earn that kind of money. These are the things you should be looking at not HH.
Zambians need your government to release reports of the serial killings, burning of markets and gassing which led to loss of innocent lives and not talking about HH. It won’t help your government in anyway because Zambians need answers before elections in 2021. Eyes off HH because your President needs you to help him have those issues resolved because voters are hurting.
Am sure the youths expected you to say something that was going to ease the pressure your government is undergoing because of the suffering they are undergoing.
Meanwhile to the people of Zambia thank you so much for your support, surely you will lead a different and better life under President Hakainde Hichilema because he loves you and has a vision of building a better life for all Zambians across the country.
There is nothing to debate PF government has failed and they should go.
Ninshi banamulipilila olo bwanji apa? Release the secret pls as this guy was heading recently boasting “i went to the same university as HH”.
It’s only in Zambia where people are told the amendments to their constitution came from their submissions, but the same Zambians are again asking MPs to debate the same amendments they made for them to understand what in bill 10, if the amendments came from the people why do they want MPs to debate the bill 10 for them to understand the contents, the contents we are made to believe they submitted.
Upnd want to give out malicious statements and criticisms against the government and party in power, and yet when they get a reaction against their demigod they get all defensive and offensive. They know that without their demigod master that party cannot exist because he bankrolls it via his gay and imperial connections. Zambian can you trust such criminals with power ? Zero kiki
Apparently according to upnd Zambia watch dog, I am currently in Malawi to help that country’s president win elections. This is how desperate the upnd propaganda machine is
Did they chase you from Malawi?
But it’s true Antonio not supposed to turn against your guardian HH. We used to respect you Antonio, but how on earth could you join that Sunday Chinkula?
Now UPND has a stable, mature, smart, and wise media team lead by the most beautiful Ruth Date. No ZWD and Larry, he really cost Zambia last elections with his monkey videos.
This is how to write, this is how to win by 85 %, keep it slow Ruth…. Xoxo
For me, it was quite childish for UPND to start revealing that they educated Antonio Mwanza or whatever they did for him. Such gestures should have been kept within the confines of UPND.
Despite him (Antonio) saying all those bad things about UPND, they should not have been tempted to reveal to the Zambians how they assisted him.
Anyway, politics and wisdom do not go hand in hand.
Kaizer, how about a boxing match between me and you in Heroes stadium, no cadres as support.
Samlindo how about a boxing match at the polls between the party that you support vs mine ? Numbers don’t lie
UPND are a party that is easily distracted …I mean who takes this former FDD boy Tony Mwanza who was calling PF every name under the sun associated with corruption just yesterday. There are so many issues to respond to and pressure the govt like the covid-19 data or why ACC has suddenly got cold feet on following up on Chilufya …you have people on the Parliamentary committees why dont you call the head of ACC. The boy Chellah has done more damage to PF than you chaps…this is why we need a third force in National Assembly and by that I dont mean NDC which can not control one MP.
Zambian Wizard Katete Kalumba, former Spook Assassin Xazier Chungu and Crook Kaizer Zulu are all in Malawi to help cook the votes there…all these chaps specialise in three different disciplines to deliver results.
Mr Kaiser zulu, you make good comments on this plat form. Nevertheless, you are biased in your deliberation. Try and learn to be objective.
Who is responding to Antonio? is it Upnd Catholics?
Tembo must realize that Zambia is not PF. Zambia is for all Zambians. When you loot Zambians you shall remain with shame in your face.
Agony is not knowing that the chola boy you use at the airport is a serious blogger who is exposing all your movements out of the country. Meanwhile we need to realise that the way UPND feels when HH is attacked is the same way PF feels when the President is attacked. If you dont realise that then you have a problem. Do I have a serious problem because I like both?
If what they say is true, then someone is ungrateful to repay evil for good.
Agony – It seems you are new to LT, do you seriously think if KZ wanted to be anonymous, he would use his own name and photo then use a VPN which has been stuck in UK for 5 years….come one man wake up from your sleep!!
Mmmmmm this Chap is very ungrateful ayy? University then wabwela mukuponta
It is like of morality and integrity for Antonio Mwanza to insult a person who made him what he is today. It is unbecoming of him to do that. If today he can turn against HH and bite the hand fed him what will stop him to turn against PF tomorrow? It is wrong to defend him or support him. People need to have morality and decency.
Antonio Mwanza should have the decency to apologize to HH.
It is lack of morality and integrity for Antonio Mwanza….
Tarino the childish boy. Still claiming I am not who I am because you have failed to handle my points in a constructive debate. You are a little sad loser. At least I do not hide my identity whilst you hide behind a fake name. If you stand by the rubbish you spill here then reveal who you are and be a man.
many a times I have told PF not to use this twit Antonio Mwanza. His brains are extremely decimated and probably not useful at damage control.
@Vote Him Out : yes they went to the same university but there are significant differences between the two. cream HH directly from high school to university while the twit Antonio had to rewrite several g-12 papers including including English before he could get accepted into university of Zambia as a mature entry student. The difference is Huge.
You don’t only have to do good things to your citizens, unless the Constitution says it?
I am very sorry I dont respond to silly sick impostors especially ones based in UK who shamelessly pretend to be in Zambia and claim to use special VPN which is stuck in one locality for past 5 years even when one flies to Malawi it still shows UK.
Please answere the question Mwanza posed.Is it illegal to gazette the recomendations of paliament select committee.upnd media team kuwayawaya fye.Answere the question not ati jctr who doesnt know that!
The opposition is winning in Malawi just like here. It will be all Refs if Julius Malame also wins their nxt election.
Much as I think the ruling party is useless, I hate when the so-called government in waiting fails to be intelligent in responding to issues: mixing Zambia’s debt and the President’s careless job creation number in responding to Antonio’s posting on Bill 10 is very unintelligent and just renders the opposition as a bunch of the same thing.
Useless dunderheads in upnd. Tell people why Bill10 should not be adopted. Ask your hh to parade his children and not use other peoples children as human shields.
Kaizer Zulu you are biggest ***** crook what are you doing in Malawi you will embrace us as Zambians.you brought Zambia in to Chaos with your boss ECL headless chicken president we have since ever.zambia could been rich with minerals but now is the poorest in the world.will lock you 2021 .
SO ZAMBIA CAN EXPORT ELECTION RIGGERS TO NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES? IF THIS IS TRUE THEN IT IS THE REASON POPULAR CANDIDATES DON’T WIN ELECTIONS IN ZAMBIA. FOR SURE RESULTS OF CERTAIN BY-ELECTIONS ARE QUESTIONABLE!!!
Bonzo man you bozo the clown, if you believe news from Zambia watch dog then you are dumber than I thought
When is PF Government going to increase salaries for the workers since the food basket for a family of 5 has jumped to over K7,000.00? And when are the retirees at PSPF going to be paid?
KZ,ANTIONIO ALL THESE CLONIES ARE ON DRUGS CZ THEY ALWAYS WANT TO BE BEHAVING LIKE WHORES.KZ,ANTINIO I THINK WHEN YOU WERE BORN U HIT YOUR HEADS ON THE GROUND
Which is the correct way to address HH? UPND always address HH as president HH. Should he not be addressed as UPND president.
