Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) president Edith Nawakwi has said that United Party for National Development (UPND) leader Hakainde Hichilema has a track record of criminality.
Speaking when she held a media briefing today, Ms.Nawakwi insisted that Mr. Hichilema is holding hostage the missing Pheluna and Milton Hatembo at his house and that Pheluna Hatembo and Milton are the witnesses in the case involving UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema where he is accused of fraudulently acquiring farm number 1924 in Kalomo.
A missing person report was filed at Lusaka Central Police on March 09, 2021, by brothers to Ms. Pheluna and Mr. Milton – Emerson and Cosmas Hatembo.
Ms. Nawakwi said Mr. Hichilema has answers on the whereabouts of the Hatembo’s adding that he should release them because their family needs them and that Mr.Hichilema risked being arrested over the missing of the Hatembo’s.
“HH cannot continue to run away he has the answer on the whereabouts of the Hatembo’s and their family needs them. I wonder why the Police are slow on this matter maybe they plan to arrest him when files in his nomination papers to run for the presidency,” Ms.Nawakwi said.
“The UPND is desperate to the extent of circulating a fake WhatsApp message and their desperation will injure them. I have come to the press because there is a video from the Hatembo’s purporting that they are running away from me because I want to kill. That video was done under duress and maybe they plan to kill the Hatembos and then frame me,” She said.
Ms. Nawakwi said that it is evident that the UPND members are the ones who are involved in the abduction of Pheluna and Miltone Hatembo and that it is nonsensical behavior for UPND to want to spin the matter thereby accusing her of the matter she is not involved in, adding that UPND must face the reality.
“Do they need to pock me in my eyes in this particular round when they know there are people who have been arrested by the police facing the same charge and they are known,” she said.
“Are these FDD, what is their orientation, they are all UPND. You can not wash your dirty on me this is nonsense,”.
Ns Nawakwi further said that the allegations of fraud are not a UPND matter but against an individual Mr. Hakainde Hichilema.
Ns Nawakwi challenged Mr. Hichilema to drag her to court for the continued allegations leveled against him that he has dubiously acquired land from vulnerable families and that she will be able to defend herself adequately with the affidavits which are before the court
Ms.Nawakwi also said that the UPND leader should not be allowed to be anywhere near the corridors of power because he may turn the country into an armageddon.
“What type of leader steals the property of people after they are dead. His wealth was not obtained in a viable way and I have no doubt in my mind that HH dipped his fingers in the Lima back liquidation and he is not worth your time as a leader,” she said, before adding that the dwindling political fortunes of Mr. Hichilema has to do with himself and he will keep losing members.
“The country can’t be on fire because of HH and this matter of the Hatembo’s will only be resolved by the UPND themselves. UPND cannot substitute themselves from law and order,” she said
Ms.Nawakwi said her interest in the Hatembo’s is to ensure that justice prevails.
“I am not keeping the Hatembo children at my house but am providing material help, the children are dehydrated because they are missing their mother,” she said.
“The grabbing of their farm 1924 by Hichilema has left the Hatembo’s with nothing and they have no source of income. The interest in the Hatembo’s is that they are Zambians and am fighting for justice to prevail.,” Ms. Nawakwi said.
Pamushi nga paikala indoshi iyanakashi ,umushi ulapwa…
Hatembo nonsense again.Please can all news outlets stop covering this pathetic and stupid story of the hatembos
Lol
This cow better seek asylum once HH is in power.
False accusations and going on a crusade to implicate call sorts of dirty tricks will lead to no avail.
Convict won’t be able to help this cow at all.
All our leaders are where they are because of stealing. Some of you knew they were stealing and you did nothing. If Hichilema has a track record of criminality as you put it, of which all our Leader have, and so what? The show must go. Get Zambian Leaders from the diaspora if you want clean Leaders with no records of criminality in Zambia.
This Nampala, has no shame. Even when she say arrest HH, HH. Dear Zambians, is it not shameful when you look at her lips dropping poison? She was finance minister who was directly involved in privatization, why has the Police not arrested for banking the money she got from privatization? She was found in maize deals/ scam why not reported her ku PF police? She had stolen broad day light somebody’s husband why not take her to local court form house breaking or marriage interference?
Today she claim she is an opposition president instead of fighting many like someone who has a pure criminal record of stealing from a widow K35,000 but she keeps on barking that HH,HH,HH. Ladies come on wake up and silence this noise maker whose mind is being doubted as to whether she is straight or damaged…
Is Nawakwi friends with the court and police? I thought she was restrained from uttering any more defamatory statements against HH.
All our leaders are where they are because of stealing. Some of you knew they were stealing and you did nothing. If Hichilema has a track record of criminality as you put it, of which all our Leader have, and so what? The show must go. Get Zambian Leaders from the diaspora if you want clean Leaders with no records of criminality in Zambia.
@ Kabanshi,
You are right. Indoshi yanakashi nangu mwingaipuma shani, mailo kulya no mwana munono. Zambia has found in a trap of indoshi yanakashi and ngatabayocele amalalo yaiko ala yalaisebanya iyine.
The goodness of this witchcraft of some lady will soon be silenced come after closure of National Assembly.
People should just debate issues instead of calling those they do not agree with as cows. HH and Nawakwi have invested resources in this case. We cannot simply dismiss their allegations against each other by name calling.
I have avoided commenting on this lady, but now I know she’s a thief. This world will soon come to an end and Ms. Nawakwi think of your life while it’s day light.
Story izibika. Just look at how crooked he was when it came to privatisation and selling this country’s mines for peanuts, all for his own gain. God has a way of dealing with such undesirables. I hear he is in a coma now
Kambwili hailed all sorts of insults and accusations against ECL, and because of desperation to be in power, ECL forgave him as if nothing had happened. That’s how rotten the moral status of Zambian Politicians. This Chicken Nawakwi can say whatever she wishes, she knows she is protected by the master, who again want to stay in power. I am sure, you have heard or seen videos circulating where allegedly PF leaders are saying, if they lose the Aug elections, it will be a prison for them after August 12th. They will do all the dirty just to reduce any chances for HH. They are doing whatever it takes, to avoid prison….Even this chicken called Nawakwi, knows, very well, her future is bleak. There is nothing for her to lose.
Take note on how she is INCITING the POLICE to storm HH`s house…
cont`d
This is her strategy…and Kampyos is just wait…… Nawakwi is becoming desperate every day that passes without Kampyos taking action.
Why can’t some church elders sit this woman
Down before she gets out of control.she might collapse with BP Or give her a post
In PF.Or is she campaigning for PF? Is she
Forced by some one to do this?
Character assassination/defamation with no real evidence adduced .This lady better be ready for paying hefty damages if she cannot prove her claims.
At what point do we start having certain people checked for mental disability….uyu mayo napeena nomba
As they say “doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome”…….is MADNESS
Nawakwi is an evil woman desperate to be appointed Running Mate by ECL. Nawakwi is behaving irresponsibly and tarnishing the image of PF and the Country. Nawakwi’s behaviour shows that there is no more Rule of Law and Respect for Human Rights in Zambia . Nawakwi is referring to HH’s “Criminal Record” in which Court was HH ever been convicted for a Crime? Nawakwi’s obsession with removing HH’s Name from the Ballot Paper is worrying for a Country preparing to hold Credible Elections in accordance with SADC and AU Election Guidelines. Is Nawakwi now Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces to order ZPS to arrest HH? Why is Nawakwi allowed to behave as if she is above the Law? Where is she getting these Powers from? Is this kind of Person suitable to be appointed a Running Mate?…
SHE IS RIGHT…TIME WILL TELL.
Is Edith Nawakwi of a sound mind? Maybe she needs some medical help from Chainama Hospital? If Nawakwi thinks she is damaging the HH Brand she is actually making it more popular. Nawakwi talks of HH’s Criminal Record. In which Court was HH ever convicted? These are all lies to discredit HH but it won’t work. We all know Nawakwi is being used to fight ECL’s battles in return for being appointed ECL’s Running Mate. That will make ECL even more unpopular. Nobody can stop HH from filing his Nomination Papers with the Nomination Court on 17th May 2021. Its HH’s Right to seek election as President of Zambia. Zambians and the UPND Family will ensure that HH’s Name is on the Voters Roll. Edith Nawakwi is playing with fire. The writing is on the wall.
He’s been mentioned in the Panama Papers so he’s a very sophisticated criminal, the Great Mweene Mutapa Cayman Island Man
These are your leaders? Bushe pa Zambia tamutontonkanya? People of no substance, no wisdom, no brains, no ideas, no plans, let alone vision, are your leaders. Why? Her hate and jealousy is all the gas she has in her tank. This is what African development looks like. Ubupuba. She has all the opportunity to go to police or court to substantiate her accusations, but she can’t. Her own sponsor, the real criminal, Edgar “Changwa” Lungu said he will form a commission of inquiry. Where is it? Ubufontini ba Zambia. Nefipuba kulamiteka. Ubuwelewele fye.
Since nawakwi is so interested in digging up the past let’s start with the Carrington maize scandal.
Poor Nawakwi is under siege by Under 5 surrogates. They just can’t see a satan in Under 5.
It’s good he will never be president of our country.
Bana wakwi be a leader
Madam Nawakwi has a point she is not saying things from without.
LT ban this annoying troll Kaizar Gay Zulu he’s gone against your comments rules so many times.And Edith Nawakwi you need to stop lying too.
Mlevi how can an influential, honest and powerful man like me get banned for telling the truth? You call me a troll because my truths are annoying you and you are failing to debate with me. I wont sit here and allow you to spread tribal lies and hate against our government
We hear that boris Johnson is facing allegations of corruption there abroad. So how come non of the f00lish upnd diasporans are calling for him to stand down? Do these kunta kinte upnd diasporans only see wrong in their fellow bIack people? Is it because the whlte man is keeping them there so they have to kiss his hair backside? Tarino and co tell us?
Nearly all bloggers here – evidently UPND types – are vilifying Nawakwi. You are in for a shock when the truth comes out. You can only disparage what she is saying at your own risk. Watch this space.
Just look at her face , stone cold evil……..
She presented facts, that’s what needs to be addressed not attacking her person. No one is above the law.
You may not agree with the noble stance this woman has taken because of your political affiliations( UKULI UOBE TAKUFUMA INGOMBE YATULIKA ILINSO) but listen to what she is saying. In my opinion, she means well and let the nation support her. Leaders must be accountable even before they assume office. It will be sad and even unchristian if we are going to keep quiet and allow the country to fall in the hands of people who have been involved in criminal activities before. The economy is biting but it should not blindfold us to such an extent that we become immoral. Accepting wrong doing just because we want to satisfy our ego. How can abduction and fraud become normal actions ? Where on earth do people accept these vices? Let us think twice before insulting her!!!
For anyone to comment on this onbjectively, please go to Youtube, Search Kay Felix Inspire, the whole Press Statement is there. This article is wirtten in a way that presents her as simply speaking from without, the woman has evidence that should make all of us talk. At the very least, she is presenting facts that should make us doubt HH’s innocence in this.
The UPND needs to sort this issue out way before nominations.
Again, be objective, watch the Press conference and let HH answer.
@Ayatollah. Panama Papers have nothing to do with Criminal Conduct but Tax free Investments. HH has no Criminal Record becoz he has never been Convicted in a Court of Law unlike ECL who was convicted for stealing a Widow Pensioner’s Money. ECL’s criminal record is there and LAZ cancelled his Law Practicing licence. They should just leave HH alone.
She has fallen into Edgar Chagwa Lungu’s hoax. All of you hallucinating abt Nawakwi becoming Edgar’s running mate – that cant happen. And it will never. Chagwa is half stupid abd smart, the plan is to damage HH completely by killing two birds with one stone. The stone that they wish will kill HH’s political career ,is the same stone that will kill Edith Nawakwi’s political Career. And that stone is Edith Nawakwi herself.
The PF is applying deep political science methodologies on her, its working well & will definitely achieve proper results. Because, think abt it, who after this whole drama will ever listen to or pay attention to Ba Nawakwi ever again? Who? Not even mad at chainama would. Not even kids. Cos her rantings by the time PF decides to abundon her, she ll be open to all kinds of scrutiny, from primary school kids, to the villagers in all four corners of Zambia. There ll be no place to hide for her, in cities people know, in villages people know. I strongly believe three things ll happen:
1: she will be jailed by PF itself when edgar Lungu wins, as a way of getting rid of her, because by then, he would ve known that she talk too much and Edgar does like at all, people who talk too much. Whistle blowers are last on his list. So, he is definitely holding her by Vaginia.
Edgar does not like whistleblowers, any Dictator does like that. At all. Trust me. So there is no way Lungu and Edith will work together, absolutely NO WAY!
2. She will be assassinated by Lungu himself or UPND or any Zambians that are tired of her nuisance.
3. She will runaway from Zambia, and she ll disappear for good. Because definitely and definitely again, after this Episode of this Soap Opera, there is no life in Zambia for her. Doesnt matter who wins, both men dont like her and botg want her fixed after the tide has settled.
Hon. Nawakwi is HH’s Mulamu and hence has privileged information of HH’s life style. Besides, all humans – including the rich – can live comfortably on 3x meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) per day. What drives a rich HH to grab land from the poor Ilas of Namwala and humble Tongas of Kalomo? These revelations have prompted me to vote for Edgar Chagwa Lungu who has no appetite to grab my parents land in Eastern Province but has rather demonstrated love for all peoples of Zambia to the extent of building a School in Bwengwa in honor of the Late Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula.
Wisdom for good and long life is that only a person speaking knows the truth. We must avoid to judge people based on information but the truth is known by the speaker as it is not possible to lie to your own spirit and soul. Our spirit and soul are our great witness and are the last to leave us before we go to see our maker and God will download the data in them to use for judgement. So in anything we say to people let’s ensure we don’t lie to our souls as well for I have never seen where a lie defeats the truth. No matter how long the lie will prevail one day the truth will resurface
@Ayatollah. Panama Papers have nothing to do with Criminal Conduct but Tax free Investments. HH has no Criminal Record becoz he has never been Convicted in a Court of Law unlike ECL who was convicted for stealing a Widow Pensioner’s Money. ECL’s criminal record is there and LAZ cancelled his Law Practicing licence. They should just leave HH alone.
ECL promised International and Regional Election Monitors and Observers free,fair,credible and peaceful Elections in August 2021. Why is ECL allowing Edith Nawakwi to discredit the Elections by ordering the Police to arrest the Main Opposition Leader in Zambia, HH and have his Name removed from the Ballot Paper? Who is Edith Nawakwi to disqualify HH from the 2021 Presidential Race?Nawakwi is doing a lot of damage to Zambia’s Constitutional Democracy. Why should an individual be allowed to behave in such a reckless manner? This ECL surrogate is doing a lot of damage to ECL,PF and the Country. Nawakwi should be told to shut up and concentrate on campaigning for her Party,FDD and leave HH alone.
The timing may not be right for madam Nawakwi to say what she is saying,but is it not true that most individuals involved in this saga are upnd? Is not true that those farms in Kalomo were not rightly obtained? Ba Nawakwi has laid evidence on the table and if upnd really cares they should move fast to correct this notion before the majority Zambians begin to believe what ba FDD leader is saying.Uwa fitala aka imwena says HH.Utu puba tuletalika says ECL.Elyo kabili umwine wachisushi tomfwa kunuunka says Akabwili.

THIS IS WHAT WE ARE SAYING. NO NORTHERNER CHIEF REBUKES NAWAKWI OVER HER HATE SPEECH ON HH. HH HAS A FAMILY. HH IS A HUSBAND OF SOMEONE, HH HAS NEVER RESPONDED WITH HATE SPEECH INFACT HE IS A UNIFERE, HH COMES FROM AREAS WHERE THERE ARE CHIEFS WHO ARE HIS TRADITIONAL PARENTS.
NAWAKWI, CHILUFYA TAYALI, SUNDAY CHANDA KAMPYONGO, NKANDU LUO, CHISHIMBA KAMBWILI ETC ALL ORIGINATE FROM ONE ARE AND WHEN YOU HEAR WHAT THEY SAY IS RUBBISH AND YET NO TRADITIONAL LEADER FROM WHERE THEY COME FROM HAS EVER BEEN HEARD TAMING THEM TO STOP WHAT THEY VOMMIT OUT.
WE DONT WANT PLEASE TO BRING ZAMBIA INTO A MESS. I LIKE WHAT MWEWA SAID YESTERDAY -https://youtu.be/MTDH-QpuZ58 and there is a lot of wisdom from him.
All of us many Zambians are seeing this and we are aware that they are (Tayali, Kampyongo…
All of us many Zambians are seeing this and we are aware that they are (Tayali, Kampyongo and Nawakwi)just another mouth pieces for some traditional leaders who when other traditional leaders speak then they will label them evil.
Twapapata mukwai mwemakombe yamfumu nashamfumu please tell your children to change the way political game is supporsed to be played. They must remove tones like “” our bedroom, our stronghold, is a no go area for UPND,and yet all are your children. Other places do not use those terms why do the traditional leaders dont talk about these? I like Mwata who has strongly come out openly condemned this vice. He said whoever practices tribal and divisive remarks will be removed out of his area and what we see all are one. Please Chiefs this is not helping when we…

Let your land be grabbed for a song and then use VX and GX to scare you….as you sneak off to the comforts of a mental health facility abroad….karma will visit you…Is EZN right yes she has gone to the relevant authorities and stated her peace…the other one is suing a vuvuzela…ahh so when he comes to power he will use state machinery to ‘fix’ her…kkkkk…..awe shuwa this under 5 is a non-starter…he has the money so he claims so let him take a person he once called ‘ this ka girl who is only fit to be in a kitchen!’…how does a person who wants to rule deem women and a mother like that…he is a person who wants to rule but calls for the ‘mines to be run by foreign investors who he has already spoken with..’ the signs are clear….
NAWAKWI IS CAMPAIGNING FOR HH
Yanakazi Yanakazi Yakakazi Nayo
How can you develop like this? Each time i see a politician on the podium i get nothing apart from fighting each other. Am equally tired of hearing the same stories which after wasting so much time on them, they just disappear without conclusion. You can’t be a serious leader always occupied with frivolous things like this. Don’t you have anything new to tell us? We want to choose wisely and the best you can do is tell us what you are offering Zambians.
I don’t think any person who holds a press conference and shows evidence would dare to lie.
Now, Hichilema and his media team will run the series of fake information against Edith Nawakwi as we have seen in the past that when a person speaks against HH, fake stories against him are all over on social media.
It is good that Nawakwi did this press conference or else what she said could happen for sure that HH would kill Hatembo and then frame her. Because he had done this in the past!
Evidence is there, and even video is there now without further waiting Zambia police must arrest HH. No one is above the law!
Still, the eyes of blind followers of Hichilema will not open. I have never seen such dull followers in my entire life! God bless their brain!
How many lives Hichilema had destroyed to gain personal selfish benefits. He has zero emotions for the people then why he wants to be the President of this country? Only for money???
Even after so many media briefing and explosive interviews against Hichilema, wonder why the police are not taking any action against him!!!
Why he is allowed to fill the Presidential form in the first place. A criminal background person cannot contest any elections. We demand to remove his name from the August 12, general elections.
Waiting what nonsense HH will be going to speak over this!
It is a shame for us that such an evil person is born in our Holy Nation. Vote #Bally out from elections!!!
I am beginning to listen to what Nawakwi is NOT saying. Eventually she will say “Imwe wantu ivi vintu tenze cita pamozi na uyu muntu!” I am telling you! She’s too bold for my liking.
What evidence? Those are conveyancing documents showing a process that was undertaken to acquire titles to land. No one was arm-twisted. Nawakwi was hired by the PF to discredit HH to whatever extent while being assured of protection and paid thirty pieces of silver. An ochestrated campaign that any child can see through. She is irrelevant, has no judicial connection in the matter (the Kalomo farm issue having even been dismised) and is a PF lapdog who has abandoned her own rickety party
Those lips of Nawakwi (as seen in the picture) appear to be good for only one thing ….suck, suck, suck
Must be a very smooth criminal.
I didn’t know Nawakwis come from Kalomo. I thought she was Namwanga.
Wondering why she was not focusing on issues affecting her village.
Is there any criminal case against HH for murder in China court? Rumour r fact?
