PF must be very careful in the way it conducts itself in the Country, it’s very clear that Zambians have been stretched to the limit; there is no looking back now. People who tuned up included the youths, middle aged and the old. What brought all these people is the suffering and misery they are going through. The economy has been mismanaged to the levels where people are prepared to die from a bullet than from hunger. You can dismiss this as nonsense but it’s a reality.
At one point I asked one old lady what she was doing there since she cannot even run in case of problems. This old lady said” my son I’m already dead. If I don’t support you people hunger will still kill me, so what’s the point of me fearing that gun (pointing at the Policemen with guns.) Let them shoot me it will be faster for me to die than the slow painful death from hunger.” I could not hold back tears.
As I moved towards the Civic Centre I met a very young boy and I told him to move away quickly out of that place before anything happens, but he said “you are mistaken I’m also part of this gathering” I pleaded with the boy to leave. The boy said “I’m a double orphan I only live with my elder sister who is also too young to work, we only survive on rentals we collect from the house we have subdivided left by our late parents. Now we hear this PF will be taking away that money from us, so better I die here.” You can imagine how I felt. Later I found women singing KAPATA MUKAYA MWENI AKAYA UKASHALA UCHIMONA.
This is what happens when those in power detach themselves from the suffering masses. The PF regime has been very insensitive to the cries of the people. The PF leadership is busy appeasing itself. The PF regime is so insensitive that it has continued squeezing the already suffering Zambians through endless taxes to pay back loans most of which just ended in their pockets.
Unlike the PF demonstration that was attended by hired cadres eating with PF, most of those who attended did not even understand why they were demonstrating. What was at hand was just bribery; people were ferried by free transport. But the HH one people moved on foot from very far townships of Ndola. The HH solidarity one was driven by people’s inner feelings of how they are suffering under this ruthless and brutal PF regime. The determination that I saw in people was enough to safely say that PF should start packing.
Next time don’t use your emotions and your so called power to silence the voice of the people.
The Author is UPND – Chairman for Mines and Freedom Fighter.
A look at placards alone tells you this solidarity march is built on misinformation.
News flash!!! You don’t genuinely win elections based on lies
How many times have we seen ‘tips of icebergs’ before…..false hope….Whoever stands on PF ticket will win…no serious opposition in Zambia especially when opposition leaders sneak into the state house late at night asking for brown envelope
The author is UPND chakuti chakuti….keep on dreaming musankwa
So is your hh bring jobs which he sold, put food on people’s table, take the street kids to school? Come on wake up, your hh is targed with Tribal issues it will be difficult for him to win an election. HH is full of lawlessness because of the support he get from people like you. Tell me how is he going to win election when he’s losing all the byelections in his strong hold areas? The very day he was in ndola he lost his seat to PF. Stop dreaming hh can not remove PF from government unless he grow up and start bringing real issues to the table and not lawlessness everyday.
Just like a look at your face tells us who pays you!
PF won with slogans and lies like “Sonta epowabomba” They deliberately hid from the people the huge Chinese loans which the poor Zambian has to pay through taxes
YES SOME PEOPLE ARE AGGRIEVED AND YES SOME HAPPENINGS IN THE CITY OF KITWE ARE SAD VIS POLICE VS THE PEOPLE ON MANY HEADLINES LIKE CARWASH SAGA, CHINESE SHOOTING OF YOUNG WOMAN, DYING OF A TAXI DRIVER IN JAIL.
These happenings are sad and regretable. They are enough to make some people turn against Govt. The same can not be said about the hoax ZAFFICO riots. The tribally bigoted mamporio party always want to sieze the opportunity and be found and seem to be at the center of the brighter side of things. The side in waiting by keeping up appearances. A handful of UPNDEAD can also gang up to cause chaos. 2021seem too far for the deads. It is also obvious that the PF needs to wisen up.
B R Mumba, honestly you are the only one on this blog who sounds and seems misinformed. You, a supposedly educated, probably ignorant as evidenced by your statement, what on those placards signifies misinformation? Sadly Lungu is also confused. Fires Mutati in preference for Nakachinda? What does Nakachinda do? Why go back to MMD? UBUPUBA
Percy HaCHANDA! Good one!
@1.7, wrong! B R Mumba, sounds to me as one of the most sane voices here! Wow, you must be a UPNDist, no doubt! TRIBAL ONE TOO! Sadly UNDER FIVE is confused and does not know that he is UNELECTABLE and is a TRIBAL LEADER!
Corruption and 24/7 politicking are twin evils killing the Zambian nation regardless of which side of the political divide you’re on.This ZAFFICO scam should be depoliticized and examined by an apolitical outfit.
upnd lost 6 times
has existed before PF since 1998.
lost to unpopular candidate ecl even when big players like VP Scott, mulenga, miles joined upnd.. this isn’t an iceberg its a tip of the poooopsberg
I’m breaker and I approve this message
HAZALUZA HAGAIN. In 2021, it will certainly go into retirement because it will be the election that shall certainly break the cow’s neck.
I like it! The tip of poopsbag from Gay Jay’s diapers.
Kambwili and Kalaba can easily get the Copperbelt and Luapula vote in 2021.That will leave Edgar Lungu and the PF-MMD party severely crippled in terms of votes.
UPND should just concentrate on Southern,Western,North Western,Central and Lusaka provinces.
In the meantime,lets continue exposing the PF filth.
We heard that story in 2016 about GBM dismantling PF in northern province. Anyone who recalls the euphoria about “FLIGHT HH2015”, weekly chainama hotel press conferences and non-stop defections? Now it’s ‘a tip of the iceberg’!! And the recent losses of your seats to PF, they are a ‘tip’ of what?
Kambwili and Kalaba??? Taking Luapula??? Dream on. The vote is decidedly taken by whoever wins Copperbelt and Eastern provinces! Check the number of constituencies snd registered voters…
UPND should start campaigning in Muchinga.Northen and Luapula more, in addition to their traditional areas
I am a Luapulan and vote at Mambilima Mutima polling station but Kalaba will not have my vote. I’d rather give it someone else not someone who has resigned but doesn’t want to leave the party. Not principled. …but then this is Zambia. ..anyone against Lungu regardless of how they stink, they become heroes.
HADREAMS HATRIBES!
Sadly, @HaIndependent, Northern, Luapula and Copperbelt do not think like the club KAKOMA represents.
Look at the PF rats boasting from overseas, unconnected to the suffering and high tax burdens our people are subjected to ??
All these rats think about is winning elections to stay in power despite the unprecedented levels of corruption, debt , un employment and tribal divisions in Zambia.
We expect unemployment to stay around 40 % and raise slightly while debt levels will increase dramatically snuffing out any benefits seen this far.
About you Spaka what are you doing abroad, tribal were brought by your hh. You cannot draw a line between tribal politics and Upnd, they look the same. Wake up from sleep my friend your hh will never create any job for anyone or bring food on your table. You need realize and know that you’re responsible to create your own worth. Your hh sold the mines for the song to enrich himself.
@Spooked … you are forgetting the realities of the last the election. ECL won despite the country experiencing the longest electricity load shedding the country has ever had.
Yet without electricity and power to power mining operations to optimal capacity he won. The country was losing FOREX to a tune of $40MM a month just to import power, people still voted for ECL.
Our copper production was at its lowest as mining companies were rationing power supply and our GDP had shrunk by 2% and yet the smart people of the Zambian Enterprise still voted for ECL.
Because of the drought, our farmers did not have enough money as much of their stock could not yield. Add to the drought those worms that ate the remaining maize stock, yet ECL won.
Even if 2 years is an eternity in politics,…
Continued…
Even if 2 years is an eternity in politics, should the ConCourt clear ECL to stand, he is still beating HH hands down, why?
The economy has improved by over 6% from 2016. No more load shedding. In fact we are net exporters of electricity. The farming community has been happy in the last 2 seasons.
Copper production is at it’s all time high, and youth unemployment is expected to be lowest since 1991 due to co-operative initiatives like black mountain and agro co-operatives.
The list is endless and you can continued to be “SPOOKED” all you want. It is better for you that way.
HH’s goose has already been cooked, his last chance was the last election, basa!!!
Mumba, that your drunkard “won” by an imaginary thin margin courtesy of hi uncle Essau Ischariot Chuulu. You can you honestly brag about that? Let him contest in a free and fair election and then let’s see what happens
Ba BR mumba does not know that lungu had just splashed around 10 to $12 billion by the time we had 2016 elections, no leader worth his salt would even campain yet alone be accused of rigging after spending so much….yet the corrupt theif was forced to dance dunnuna and still had to rig elections ????
WTF
JUNIOR is an educated fooool don’t mind him…
@5.2 MR B R Mumba sr
Bad manners….our friend his name is Spaka and you calling him “Spooked”…..my ribs are hurting you made my day…please also find a better name for brother Jay Jay
“When it comes into power, Zambia will be like PARADISE PAPERS, like the U.S., and there will be no more hunger and poverty,” BoSpakata. Ha DELUSIONS from the TRIBAL H-ORGANISATION.
The BoSpakata Animo Farm is well connected through the dung!
People are unhappy and it is true PF is not improving the plight of the poor, there citizens are now the Chinese with Zambians as secondary citizens,people are hungry,corruption and loans that they contracted from China half of which they have looted.people are not blind or stupid
“We want the Corrupt Privatisation Chief to be the President of Zambia because he is TONGA,” Larry Mweetwa.
UPND solidarity……more like “Rent-A-Mob” to me!
Rent a mob indeed!
How much per hour from the Privatisation thief?
You are saying there is no strong opposition and gatherings for HH what are they doing?
Arrest hh if he sold mines and you guys go to school to know what it means to sell government property like mines. Hh did the evaluation and was paid by government which later used the evaluation document to negotiate on price to sell the mines.
Someone will be disappointed HAGAIN in 2021. False Hopes, Evil Hearts.
It can’t change a thing! Why did he take the money to PANAMA? Panama is a tax haven country. Blur, blur, blur. Corrupt thief with INSIDE TRADING deals. Let him bring his “clean money’ back into ZANACO or FINANCE BANK.
Zambia Watch Dog mentality.
Galu Watchers in Zambia will be disappointed because they don’t believe in reality. No wonder it takes them five years to go over the disappointment cause by election. Their little god is still foaming like a hyena or a MAD COW. The little mob in the photo does not translate into votes to beat the President and his hard working government which has done a lot to change Zambia for better. UPND cannot win CB because CB is not as TRIBAL as Southern Province.
UPND is losing in its strongholds. This was just last week. Who paid the author of this article, if any Zambian falls for this nonsense, you might need to seek spiritual hands to be laid on you. HH is the downfall of the UPND, we need a vibrant politician to take over that party immediately.
I keep advising UPND to fire HH for their part to form government but eeee they love him like a messiah
How much did HaCHANDA get from UNDER FIVE for this TRIBAL article?
The lost their Mnanango seat, and three others out of 6 just last week. UPND is now a joke.
UPND is MENTAL. TRIBAL = MENTAL.
Don’t deceive your self. Ask thse people one by one. You will hear their sir names.
I rest my case
Iwe in the first place, let me tell u UPND won elections in 2001 but due to corrupt nation so called Zamchina. They declared MMD as the winner of which they did not, same in 2016 UPND but still they declared PF as your winner of which u didn’t but that whatever goes up must come down and God is watching this corrupt Government. Come 2021, God is going to send his angels to prevent corrupt PF from stealing votes. Even the judges will have no option but only to declare HH as the Republican president of Zambia. Remember what happened in 2011, MMD tried their level best to steal votes but they failed.
Change the leadership and I will also vote for UPND & not ha ha. His is full of himself
Hallucinating UPND due to Mental tribal brains.
If indeed people are crying for change, the last thing they want is Trib.al Hacks. No real and serious Zambian sees any good in the Trib.al Hacks. Look here ba Percy Chanda, no Zambian would want a trib.alist as their President. He is a trib.alist from his day one in 2006, and has never apologised. Don’t misread the crowds of Kopala, they will use your party and abandon it at the polling booth. You can’t learn from 2016 when miners lost jobs in large numbers? They were angry and Trib.al Hacks misunderstood that to mean votes for him. Come to the poliling day, the miners simply abandoned trib.alism, don’t you wonder why ka trib.al Hacks just could not accept the results? Ask Elisha Matambo, he is there in kopala. It was a shock to Trib.al Hacks and his tri.b.al clan but not to us…
If they want a corrupt fraud convict , they will want any one….
…. Ask Elisha Matambo, he is there in kopala. It was a shock to Trib.al Hacks and his tri.b.al clan but not to us Zambians…. ..kikikikikiki… underfive politics!
I cannot spend sleepless nights on these trib.al clans, in 2016 upnd were so overconfident that they lost their trib.al guard ati “if you can’t speak our language, how are you going to work with us?” Can you imagine, they meant to change the official language to their trib.al if they won!!
Percy CHAANDA or PERCY CHANDA!
Hahaha! Luapula Premier, what’s that. Chaanda is ice in my tribal!
Percy HaaCHANDA.
Plus imwe ba Percy Chanda you are just a bemba monkey in upnd, like GBM/GBV and other fo.ol.s.
Which politician in his right senses can make GBM/GBV as his running mate? A renowned proudly corrupt fats.o can help you fight corruption or entrench it? That is why even in upnd inner circles he is just a bemba monkey, ever seen him act in place of Trib.al Hacks? That should tell you something you fo.ol.
Percy Chanda is a sell off hh supporter, and he is not bemba. Be careful ba Chanda, those pipo hates u and your tribe like snake and human being. They will use u and will abandon u.
HaaCHANDA is just an Himposter.
Percy Chanda is a sell off hh supporter, and he is not bemba. Be careful ba Chanda, those pipo hates u and your tribe like snake and human being. They will use u and will abandon u. Iceberg????? Ba Chanda namupepa ganja.
this are people 80%came from sourthen,north western partly lsk ,central prov if it had that ndola people turned up the pf can worry but with this still hh ali muchibe
HH hired a bus HAGAIN! Even if he did the crowd is insignificant to beat President Lungu in 2021. HAZALUZA HAGAIN!
It 2021 folks. Save your dreams. It will be Court sessions after court sessions again.
Hasn’t learned how to concede still?
Some fools awee sure just because you’re comfortably eating with your fellow thieves doesn’t mean everyone is enjoying the opportunity poured on you by thieves on you. In fact its ordinary Zambians who votes trying to comfort yourselves with hate and tribal speech won’t help you. Zambians knows who is tribal and violence Zambia is not for any tribe or any party anyone can be a president either from North, south, west the idea of saying we can’t be ruled by a “Tonga ” *****s do you own this country?? Zambia was cursed when the so called PF came into power. We know why you’re saying Zambians voted for him when load shedding was worse Whilest comfortably in UK thinking everyone is enjoying like you do. Even those who were strongly supporting Lungu are disappointed some are regretting…
Fellow thief HAKAINDE MENTAL?
Indeed Percy the wind of change is in the air. The once most popular party on the copperbelt is on its way out.2021 here I come
PF selling Zambia to the Chinese – Israeli loan axis! A nation steeped in abject poverty goes on a shopping spree for fighter jets when its hospitals are without drugs and we should be proud we have a thinking and caring government???????
Kindly let Pro. HANSONI write the UN on his University Letterhead. This will change immediately.
Spaka you’re also overseas but you are able to see poverty in Zambia while your fellow rats abroad can’t see? Amazing. By the way Percy has created that woman by himself. If he managed to get the other pictures why didn’t he capture the fictional old woman. Like I have told, Upnd is still in a primary school class politically. Reason is a) A great majority of us don’t read social media b) A lot of people don’t believe what they read. .they believe the physical.
Just looking at the author puts me off, there is no independence in the whole article! Its very biased. Nayaa inee
The author is an UPND dunderhead masquerading as a BEMBA! These tribals have no class!
@ B R Mumba
You have just confirmed that Lungu has been rigging the elections and there is no way he would have won with such poor performance you have outlined. Lungu has no clue he is just a lame duck but one day the Zambia people open their eyes see thru this c-r-o-o-k.
Larry Mweetwa has no clue that it is UNELECTABLE!
