The Ruling Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD) has said the opposition Patriotic Front (PF) is panicking following second republican President Fredrick Chiluba’s declaration to support president Rupiah Banda in the 2011 general elections.
MMD national Chairperson Michael Mabenga said it was surprising that the PF is jittery with Dr Chiluba’s support for president Banda by condemning him, when the party did not condemn him when he supported PF leader Michael Sata in the 2006 elections.
“ PF is panicking, its leaders are now condemning Dr Chiluba because they are aware that the MMD will retain power after the 2011 elections,” Mr Mabenga said.
Mr Mabenga noted that in 2006, the MMD allowed Dr Chiluba to support the PF because he has a democratic right to support whichever party he feels like supporting.
PF President Micheal Sata has ordered Dr Chiluba to aplogisewithin seven days or be dragged to court.
And Chiluba has vowed to defend every statement that he made against Sata during his press briefing last week.
According to a letter written to Dr Chiluba by Sata’s lawyer John Mulwila from Ituna Partners, the law firm had been retained in connection with the alleged innuendos and remarks that were also published by the Times of Zambia.
Mr Sata was particularly concerned about the allegations by Dr Chiluba that he was dismissed by the Northern Rhodesia police force and that he was arrested and imprisoned because of some criminal offences committed in the police force.
He was further concerned about Dr Chiluba’s allegations at the same Press briefing that he led a polygamous life and had a relationship with a woman in Ndola, yet he was receiving Holy Communion in the Catholic Church.
And Mr Sata’s lawyer stated that the words complained of by his client were in no doubt defamatory and the estimation in which he stood in the opinion of others had been affected by false statements.
QFM
Mr CDF, what panicking? Its yu guys panicking. therez bed space for yu in Chimbokaila in 2011
Mabenga iwe is Chiluba now your friend? When Levy was alive you could not touch Chiluba even with a long stick. In any case PF cannot panick because they are no in office and are therefore not afraid of being probed like you will when we kick you out. You are the ones who should be panicking. On Chiluba I would appreciate if you could collect all the bad statements you and your coleagues made on Chiluba from June 2002 to October 2008. Other wise Satan is better than you because he has remained constant since Eden.
Hmmmm…..To start with Both you Mabenga and Zarare being in prison.Its MMD panicking that s why you have hired the chap to campaign for you.I dont think there is any sane zambian left who can believe Zarare in in time and age[-x[-x[-x[-x[-x
Iwe Mabenga. This midget openly supported Sata. Then he changed to support the modern UNIP and you are happy about it?
The first I am hoping HH should do when he wins on the pact tickect next year is to build an ultra modern primary school in Chavuma, turn one of old ones there into a prison and thats where all you rats will go.
Just wait! We know how the system works in Africa.
Mabenga seems to be excited that Chiluba is supporting MMD and RB. The folly of his analysis is to think that MMD will win because it has Chiluba’s support. Let us wait for 2011 and we will see who will have the last laugh. What influence does Chiluba have on Zambian voters? May be MMD will gain a few votes in Luapula and from a few former miners. As for NWP, SP, WP,NP and even CB Mabenga and his MMD must forget. Inanycase it is time to put a new party in power not the same clueless MMD.
And then when HH’s term is over, someone will also lock him up. This will be the political culture of our country.
Nonsense, what panicking. Its the MMD which is desparate . Trying all the tricks in the book. Zambians are looking for genuine leaders and not tricksters. MMD cant get it. Mr CDF Banakutindila! JUST JOIN THE PACT:((:((:((:((
BREAKING NEWS…THE DON DROPPED A BOOM ON SATA SUCH THAT HE’LL NEVER RECOVER.
DON! DROP ANOTHE ONE AND SILENCE YOU ACCUSERS!
Its dangerous delusion to wastefully think MMD would ever lose to Sata or HH under any dispensation.Certainly not on the watch of MMD. The future of the unconstitutionally supported PACT is holistically only in the mouth of Sata and dream of HH. These circus partis only thrive is on the premise of MMD tolerance and heart for legitimizing democracy in the country regardless of how the opponents continue sinking in deep campaign debts.
#7 Yes after 25 of the pact being in power. Why are you guys desperate? Look the first version of UNIP with KK thought they were untouchable. The midget got state house and instead of sorting things out, he was quick filling up his little pockects. The late Levy was going to sort him. Shame he died.
Batata just make sure you have somewhere to run to. As long as the pact stays together, batata, you are gone!
Impressive but I am interested only in “PF President Micheal Sata has ordered Dr Chiluba to aplogisewithin seven days or be dragged to court… And Chiluba has vowed to defend every statement that he made against Sata during his press briefing last week.” Following the above statements, let Mr Sata MC just take Mr Chiluba FTJ, Mphil, to court. After that we will see what Kawala aziba kawala munzake similitude can do for us all Zambians to know who our leaders are.
Have a blessed day.

#10 Lets wait and see what happens. But so far the numbers tell me it`s more than a possibility. Remember their small parties from KK? Do not underestimate Zambians. They have had enough. MMD stands no chance as long as the pact stays together. Unfortunately it`s looking like another 1991!
People ignore this idi ot called Maestro Hehehe. He is an MMD cadre. The pact is wining and he knows. The pact will stand together.
By the way he is a mod for your info! Maestro sorry you mug. You are on your way out. Just make sure you plunder as much as you can.
Veteran nishinga ufola kuli ba mukukulu. You seem to speak a lot of sense in all you none sense. Why don’t you as well make enquisitions on what ministers do with tax payers money, instead of only saeching for your belly. Any way that is what iliteracy can do. Truthfully as yourself about RB movements, are they really justified?
VETERAN. How old are you? Sorry to sound ridiculous but you seem to have been in your mother’s womb when KK lost to Chiluba.
Let me educate you. There were hardcore KK suporters like Dingiswayo Banda who spoke like you do. They swore over their living mothers that UNIP could not lose to a party led by a small short man, but like David did to Goliath, history took its course.
Today, they are in the books of Zambia’s political history.
The good thing is that your name will make it into those books when the PACT wins and takes its rightful seat and mantleof leadeship.

Am sorry Veteran Buarmber Buarndee

Mabenga guys I dont like you but I will vote for you, I cant risk with Sata never ever. But since you have my vote, now get serious and improve things around the country. I also just realised that you MMD people change presidents every ten years.I like that. Imagine if ba Sata was in power, he would still be fighting for a third term, kaili he has been PF president for ten years, and he isnt stepping down. Isnt it time he gave Winter a turn too.

# 20 you are mad. How can you pledge to vote for a man who was found guilty of misappropriation of public funds by the High Court. How can you entrust our national resources with a corrupt thief who thinks because he is in power he can do whatsoever he wants with our money. Shame on you # 20. Its the likes of you who are taking this Country backwards because you are so dull. Even a grade 3 can think better than you. If it was not for LPM’s seletive fight against corruption, that Mabenga would have been in hail.
Politics is really dirty, Mr. Mabenga you must be ashamed of yourself you are not principled not long ago chiluba was your enemy who was as good as death! Today he is your darling, What type of a leader are you? You have neglected your consituency Mulobezi at the expense of praising crystal clear thief who does not deserve praise. Who is a christian? ans Some one who share jehovah god`s Views,Interests and Values Which are fine qualities, Such as honesty and Kindness.
Now Mabenga tell us does chiluba have the mentioned qualities to be god`s friend! The ans you know it he belongs to Sustan the devil. So Mabenga you are chiluba`s disciple. No vote for you in your area Should dare to contest, We know you very well, You have a big post in the the party but you have failed to deliver.
As for Mr Sata, he is the only practical leader this Counctry needs right now. This Country needs someone to sort things out, not these time wasters who are forever garavanting around the world when things are in a mess in this Country, everything is a circus in thios Copuntry. For RB its navionelanji so he is really maxmising his presidency. Shame
What are the signs of panic in this instance, educate us Mabenga. One can only tell from symptoms that they suspect anything. This is merely political mud-slinging between two old rivals, not parties.
Soory, I meant Mabenga would have been in jail
I am not sure what Mr Mabenga thinks is special about Mr Chiluba. The man is an unmitigated thief. How can a party proudly say they are happy to be endorsed by a thief? This is surely an open goal for the oposition. Here, I can imagine posters with morphed pictures of Mr Chiluba and Mr Banda with the caption ‘Son of a Thief’ – Priceless!
This chap stole some/corrupt.
Ba Pact, give us a credible set of leaders and we shall in return give you a fleeting chance for 2011.
You talk about winning 2011 when you have not even settled on the candidate, but instead pretend that you know, or hope that the Pact “leaders” know whom it will be. Sorry they are in much the same pitch darkness as you are, trying to outmaneuvre each other and when they come to light there will be a Lozi kang’oto baba.
The political atmosphere is interesting. Sata has no hope of winning some provinces because of his academic background and foul mouth. His hope is that HH will get him those votes. that was on the assumption that he had the copperbelt and the north in lock. now it appears that there will be a massive schism in his assumed background. If Sata could be magnanimous enough to support HH then the pact would have a great chance of succeding. We all know that both leaders have supporters that would not support let alone campaign seriously for the other. Their hope is for the MMD to political crumble beyond resuscitation and then they can divide the spoils. This will not happen as is apparent. The problem we have is that our leaders across the board are not serious enough and WE THE PEOPLE do not
demand a higher standard from them. We have too many jackals and spineless individuals on both sides of the isle. We need to make a stand and purge our political parties of chancers, bootlickers and selfish people and illiterate folk. Long live Zambia and may God’s will prevail
Awe ba maestro muli chi puba mwe.
Zinga only a full like yourself thinks the pact will not work. Stanyoko iwe.
Zambians – What is your problem with MMD? Pact will not rule Zambia come what may. Sata has nothing to offer Zambians. Mabenga has seen PF panicking. The former head of state FTJ has endorsed RB while Sata & HH waiting for KK to endorse them. KK will NEVER, NEVER endorse any of them because he has a powerful focus. VIVA MMD, VIVA RB. The hour has come.
