Patriotic Front PF Member Max Chongo has issued an apology to Zambians and the Seventh Adventist Church for what he described as all the wrongs he may have done in his life, knowingly and unknowingly.
Ia statement posted on the PF sponsored page, praised the leadership demonstrated by President Hakainde Hichilema saying that if the president was a vindictive person and believed in vengeance most police cells and prisons would have been full to capacity with his PF-affiliated comrades.
Below is the statement
After deep reflection and self-introspection, I have come to a conclusion that I owe the nation of Zambia and its Citizenry a sincere apology for all the wrongs I may have done in my life both knowingly and unknowingly.
I know many people will come on my page to insult me, call me names, express anger, disrespect me, or demean me but I don’t blame anyone for any action because I called for it when I did all the wrong things in life myself.
Truthfully speaking President Hakainde Hichilema has demonstrated excellent leadership which is not vindictive or based on vengeance but promoting peace, love, the forgiveness of sin, reconciliation, and unity for a better Zambia for every citizen regardless of our political affiliation.
It’s from this background that I am convinced not to take advantage of his kindness and love but show remorse by apologizing for all the wrongs I may have done to this Nation and its citizenry.
Clearly, today if President Hakainde Hichilema was vindictive and believed in vengeance most police cells and prisons would have been full to capacity with PF-affiliated comrades.
I also want to apologize to all the Churches in our Nation with emphasis on the SDA Church for my actions that could have offended your church and it’s within my prayer, hope, and faith that as you preach about forgiveness of sin find it within your area of jurisdiction to forgive me for my actions.
To the UPND Government under the leadership of President Hakainde Hichilema I wish to apologize unreservedly for all the wrongs I may have to do to you or said whilst in opposition and it’s my prayer and hope that you will forgive me, above all help me contribute positively to the society.
To the people of Zambia that could have been offended by my personal actions or my association with the Patriotic Front Party, I wish to apologize unreservedly for my wrongs and I pray and hope you will forgive me above all help me become a better person to contribute positively to the society moving forward.
Last and not least I take full responsibility for all my wrongs I may have committed Knowingly or Unknowingly and tender in a sincere and unreservedly apology with prayer and hope that the nation of Zambia and its citizenry will forgive me and help me become a better citizen.
Kwena mwalitumpile, i forgot about this picture where you wore SDA uniform, sure. Awe you had all the power. No wander you can reflect and ask for forgiveness. You had your time. All forgiven otherwise.
Cage this ydiot please.
Wise man. You will be president one day
Was he doing to apologise had the PF retained power. These are crocodile tears.
Don’t take such people seriously. Remember Kambwili apologized to the Tonga Royal Establishment for his insults only to insult them again during the campaigns.
There was a lack of proper leadership in the PF and that led to many relatively young persons to fail to appreciate the realities of life and its values. The PF leadership seemed to believe that what the youth needed was being lavished with money and beer. The PF rewarded indiscipline. It’s not only Max that fail into that trap, Dandy Crazy was given more money than he could handle and we saw what it did to him. In this vein, an apology from Max is welcome and I advise him to grow up and never ever engage in such mischief. Nkani ya mu Kachasu has it that Max is now a whistle blower. He’s said to be the chap that’s blowing whistles like crazy
I can’t forgive u, walitupile ad u still the same stupid boy with no remorse to poor Zambians. You’re a greed thing ad be with your apologies, u just afraid of your wrong doings, ad if you ad PF went through tht election, awee Zambians nga nikatwishi.
If you are truly ready to reconcile yourself and apologise, you must admitted to the crimes and out your sponsor’s……..
If the foot soldiers and thugs are comming out apologising, we will see what becomes of the likes of kapoyongo, lusambo , kamba , Monga, Etal……..
I told you guys that no one will be prosecuted by UPND because they’re all the same…all the loot is being shared now and you won’t see any plunderers in jail…they’re all busy singing praise and holding on to their loot and sharing with corrupt UPND officials…like Future Zed puts it…Garbage out Garbage in
@ De Javu
UPND is just as bad as PF even worse than PF……and this guy will soon be welcomed in UPND and they will continue looting
All is forgiven. Next.
And this is a sign that all what UPND is doing about fighting corruption is fake…its just to show voters like they’re doing something but otherwise nothing has changed…Faith Musonda still has her million intact…Milingo Lungu is still laughing straight to the Bank…Garbage out Garbage in
@Saulosi: UPND is not the same as PF, they won in oppression and do no need these PF cadres. It is clear they are not welcome? They are Zambians and are free to rebrand their Parties or Go back to MMD. Just reflect and think. Why would UPND go to bed with such people? For what? If that Happens, They will be a one term Party and Zambians will be so disappointed. NOTE: HH is a very smart man, unlike your Lungu, HH Interacts with commoners with an ear to the Ground.
PLEASE BA KATUKA. Read this and NEVER ALLOW THESE PEOPLE in to UPND. Kapyongo, Lusambo and Lubinda should Apologize. Actually Lusambo should be arrested for slapping Zambians over Masks. That was abuse of Office.
@ De Javu spot on
Iwe ka Saulosi, Too early to judge UPND they are still cleaning the MESS.
Unless you have a hidden hatred of the new dawn gvt.. Or insane
But why the women’s dress? Is he a transvestite?
@ Saulosi, UPND and PF can never be the same and while you’re in haste to see the UPND administration carry out an agenda perceived through your desired actions the marked difference between UPND and PF manifests! Unlike PF that was a law enforcer, arresting and prosecution entity as well as being the court and judge, the UPND is leaving it to the institutions mandated to carrying out their assignments professionally! It is neither for HH nor UPND structures to carry out investigations, be arresting officers and prosecutors, judges and jury!
The chickens have come home to roost
Only God can forgive you.
Us citizens just want you and your corrupt friends to be jailed for a very long time.
If you are indeed sorry, return everything you stole, and tell us about your corrupt friends and where they have hidden the money.
Then beg for leniency from the courts for a reduced sentence of no less than 10 years with hard labour.
Otherwise you will be caged for 30 to 40 years my friend.
All you downvoting Saulosi you’re missing a point….look at what happened to Zimbabwe….Zimbabweans were celebrating they thought those thieves who surrounded Mugabe would be brought to Justice and the loot recovered..and guess what happened…all the Mugabe Bandits are in Munangangwa Government…so expect to see all Lungu bandits in HH government and the looting wont stop…ask yourself why is Mukula still being smuggled out of Zambia….under UPND government HELLO!!!!!!
@Saulosi, give it a rest mate. You trying to whitewash that corrupt PF regime of Lungu by comparing with UPND won’t take away that bad PF record. Or perhaps you are trying to stain the UPND by using the PF dirty… we are not kids mate and can ‘see’ through your desperation.
Take a break from Lusaka Times dude!
As for this dude, I suspect he’s sensing the cops are closing in on his transgressions and he is trying to buy his sympathy by this hollow apology… doesn’t sound genuine to me. Like someone else said, return all the loot.
Max before you are forgiven you will need to (a) tell us all the people who stole with you and committed other offenses and provide evidence (b) return everything that does not belong to you or you acquire through illegal means (c) show that you go beyond your words and will for sure become a better person. Lastly, if you are found guilty you need to face some jail time because there is no way someone steals a chicken they are in jail and your team steals millions and even have the never to speak with their heads high like they did nothing wrong.
we call it politics, you are a really politician young man keep it up..
@Saulosi, stop behaving like a ribbed dog, why refer to Zimbabwe of all the places.
You are upto mischief, the sooner you contain your fanatical, extremely enthusiastic and raging behavior the better.
Politics aside. We did not usher in UPND because we thought they were angels but because we thought they were better than PF. If at all they make the same mistake PF made of closing their ears and becoming arrogant, they will end up in a dust bin. So far so good because they are creating an enabling environment. We do not need hand outs but just an environment where hard work is rewarded and not the other way round. If you can’t feel the sense of belonging to this great nation then you are just lazy.
COWARD WHAT ARE YOU APOLOGIZING FOR? YES APOLOGIZE FOR THE WRONGS YOU DID TO THE PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA. YES APOLOGIZE TO THE SDA CHURCH YOUR ANTICS….. BUT WHEN YOU SAY YOU APOLOGIZE FOR EVERYTHING YOU SAID ABOUT UPND WHEN THEY WHERE IN OPPOSITION IS COWARDICE. TODAY UPND MEMBERS ARE TRASHING PF BECAUSE THEY ARE IN CHARGE NOW AND THAT IS HOW IS THE GAME WORKS. POLITICS IS A DIRTY GAME. YOU EVEN APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR ASSOCIATION WITH THE PF SURE. DO YOU REALIZE THAT OUT OF 18 MILLION PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY, ONLY 2.8 MILLION USHERED IN THE UPND AND NOT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY AND YOU APOLOGIZE WITHOUT SHAME FOR AFFILIATING WITH ANY OTHER POLITICAL PARTY? OR MAYBE YOU ARE HOODWINKING UPND MEMBERS. ZAMBIA IS NOT FOR PF, UPND, MMD, SOCIALIST OR INDEED ANY OTHER PARTY BUT FOR ALL ZAMBIANS AND ALL ARE FREE…
