Sata seeks revival of PF-UPND pact

PF Leader Michael Sata

The Patriotic Front has called for fresh negotiations with the United Party for National Development over the future of the UPND/PF pact.

 

Sources have revealed to QFM that PF president Michael Sata this week met with UPND president Hakainde Hichilema to see if they can still work together.

Mr. Sata is said to have complained to the UPND president that some people close to him were advising him wrongly on the issue of the PACT.

The PF president is said to have written to the UPND requesting to have a fresh look at the electoral alliance of the two biggest political parties in the country.

Yesterday, senior members of the UPND met to discuss the letter written by the PF.

The UPND meeting which was held at the party’s secretariat and lasted for more than 9 hours resolved to give the PF conditions in order to enter into an alliance again.

The sources explained to QFM that the UPND will keep its doors open as long as the PF accepts the set out conditions.

Among other conditions include the economic agenda of the PACT government and the sharing of the government positions equally.

QFM news has also been told that UPND president Hakainde Hichilema has no problem with being the vice president as long as the most important issues concerning the nation are agreed upon.

Efforts to get a comment for the two camps failed by press time.

  1. MMD SPENDS K25 BILLION TO BREAK PACT

    The MMD via a special State house monitored task force has spent K25 billion since beginning of the year on activities to disrupt cohesion in the Pact. The scheme seems to be yielding dividends going by the latest events in the Pact that is on the verge of collapse.
    This special task force is headed by the party’s chief whip Vernon Mwanga and assisted by state house presidential aid Austin Sichinga.
    The money has been used to pay chiefs in Southern province to threaten to disown HH if he remains in the Pact. The chief led by Mwanachingwala and Mukuni have netted about K500m each plus a car of their choice. Chief Mukuni is since ever in Lusaka driving past Arcades and Manda hill malls in his latest BMW 7 series.
    The next target lines has been some…

  2. The next target lines has been some UPND and PF members of parliament (MPs) who have been instructed to create confusion and counter progressive statements to ensure the Pact does not succeed. The MPs that were paid K250M each mid February are Peter Machungwa (PF), Elizabeth Chitika (PF), Faustina Siyangwe (PF), Besa Chimbaka (PF),Anson Sinama (PF), Douglous Siakalima (UPND), Garry Nkombo (UPND) and Highvie Hamududu (UPND).

    The UPND troika have been promised another K2 Billion each if they can deliver UPND to partner with MMD. The exchange of cash usually happens at Arcades car park between 8 and 10 pm when Pajeros and Landcruisers park side by side.

    Selected pastors like BIGOCA’s Ndlovu and NGO presidents like Edwin Lifwekelo are on K50M to issue anti Pact statements

  3. So why the arrogance you desperate old man,you thought those intellectuals in UPND would allow you to bully them around.You need UPND more than UPND needs you.Be humble,dont follow the likes of Kabimba.

  4. Give the man a chance to defend himself. All he sais was that the Zambian law is silent on the issue of those with different sexual orientation.

  5. Let us fight this strongly people of Zambia. HH and Sata ought to see beyond their windows. HH get back to PACT please twapapata. We know non of you get beat MMD as at now but with combined power and DOUBLE punches from UPND and PF we will do it. VIVA PACT.

  6. I hope this time these guys will be serious,we can not afford to be taken for a ride for a second time…VIVA PACT

  7. Why ba Sata why? please let these guys go their way, we dont need their province to give you presidency. Very disappointed.

  8. The only wise thing to do. Or else No pack No Vote! I salute HH for the humility. Do not be cheated.
    In humility there is strength. You really mean well.

    The future is still bright for u HH. We need the Pack Come Rain Come snow.

    Be careful with sponsored Team mates advice.

  9. Sata has always meant well for every peace loving Zambian,only afew miss guided selfish people power hungry try to misslead the nation about the great leader.Poverty is the number one enemy of our great nation followed by iliteracy.
    Don’t twist stories imwe mwe nsamba,shaisula ubuwelewele Cifine,Mumbi,Chimba Liwekelo fwenkufwenku,the message is clear we WANT CHANGE. Bambi batekeko….

  10. what a wanker sata is. is he not the one who said UPND is just a small tribal party who do not use their brains but their tribe to think. NOW HE IS BEGGING UPND TO COME BACK TO THE PACT!! WHAT A USELESS MUDALA HE IS. AND IF UPND AGREE THEY WILL EVEN LOOK MORE STUPID. FIRST SATA SHOULD APOLOGISE FOR INSULTING THE WHOLE OF SOUTHERN PROVINCE

  11. This is more like it. This under5 is so much power hungry than serving the Zambian pipo. Mudala that is the way forward. thanks for thinking big. Viva PF

  12. To say i have been ill advised casts doubt on the judgement of the leader who appointed the advisors. Ultimately the decision is the leaders, so in this regard, i am afraid Sata has shown a serious lack of leadership and very poor judgement.

    I am a supporter of the pact becuase i believe there could be synergistic benefits to HH and Sata working together, which would not be there if either one of them was soley in charge. However, there appears (in both UPND and PACT) to be too many loose canons. There does not appear to be any communication strategy.

    Somebody needs to gag Kabimba.

  13. There is still hope. My advise to the 2 parties; please negotiate honestly and reasonably. Nothing is cast in stone. All must be prepared to give and take. This pact is the surest way to beat MMD’s rigging machine. MMD must bite the dust this year.

  14. It does not matter how many MPs ditch you? The Two Brands are now critical in Zambian eyes.

    What Zambians will support is PACT Brand and not spoilers no matter their popularity or influence.

    Please Please Take this advice critically. Time is not with you. You need to RUN on this.

  15. HH should be stupid to fall for this ? they say once beaten, twice shy? sata is in debt and wants a way out of his misery and the expense of the voters? as usual we zambians are so stupid and docile? HH stick to your guns my brother…your time is yet to come…2016? last kicks of a dying horse are the most dangerous one.sata is a dying horse….keep away from him?

  16. EVEN THE WOMAN I HAVE MARRIED THERE WAS A TIME WEN WE BROKE TIES DURING UR DATING PERIOD FOR OVER THREE MONTHS BT LOOK WE ARE HAPPILY MARRIED NOW. SO EVEN THIS PF/UPND MARRIAGE CAN WORK

  17. its the Zambians on the ground who are calling for the pact…SATA is good leader he listens to the people.
    if you don´t know there is a campaign going on right now people are saying that NO pact NO vote. lets work together guys we can not let our country been destroyed by the MMD.

  18. my God the old man has realized that he cant win an election alone. he needs a youngman HH. now that he has realised this. why is winter kabimba against the pact?. old man get rid of Winter and Bring Given Lubinda Back.

  19. I used to wonder that week in week out the DEC announces that they have arrested so many people with so many tonnes of dagga. Tonnes of dry leaves? Suppose these traffickers are not caught, where does the stuff end up? Now I know…it is smoked by PF/UPND caders!!!

  20. PACT. IT CANT WORK ANYMORE. YOU NEED TO FORM ONE FORMIDABLE PARTY. MMD MEANS REAL WE NEED CONTINUED PROGRAMS. THE TENDANCE OF ZAMBIAN POLITICS IS TO DISCARD EVEN GOOD IDEAS AFTER WINNING ELECTIONS. LOOK AT WHAT MMD DID. UNIP HAD SOME BRILLIANT PLANS SERVE LEVY WHO HAD WISDOM. I DONT LIKE SATA ANYMORE..

  21. MMD we know you are not happy stay away from this you chaps we do not need propaganda from you chaps. MUZAZINYALA CHINOCHAKA BA MMD

  22. Again-the Pact?

    RB, Dora, VJ, Shikps, W.Banda and the entire MMD have been sleeping like babes and their HBs had stabilised since the anouncement that the Pact is no more! Now you people are causing sleepness nights again!!

    Anyway, on a serious note, this is great news and we only hope it’s true and that it materialises this time around. It would be great to give MMD size 9 out of power!

  23. what a circus. a day after kabimba said good riddance, here comes sata begging like a little boy caught with his pants down!!! so who speaks for PF now? is sata still in control of all his faculties? look at the mess he has put himself in on the homo issue. everyone says that sata is a homo now!!! he is a buffoon like we have always said and now HH is in a more powerful position than Sata and really HH should be the presidential candidate thats all. Anything less and HH kisses goodbye to the vote in southern, western, nw and central provinces. none of these will vote for a pact headed by a buffoon like sata

  24. Mudala has sobered at last. I will be very disappointed if HH will accept any deals with Sata. I love his thrust but not as the president of Zambia he is too big headed. Give RB the last chance he will appoint you as VP eventually president after his term. HH has proved his worthiness but not as VP to Sata. Wish you the best for those who believe that a politician will enrich someone. Believe in yourself.

  25. Way to go bwana president and good news to the us. I pray that you get back to the drawing board.

  26. Now I believe that Mr. Sata is a clown. He does not deserve to rule this country. Let Zambia move forward. This is an election year and elections are just a few months away and he is till negotiating his way into the PACT. This time campaigns should have been in high gear. Zambians please reject this clown. UPND beware the cobra is in wait to strike. If you will get back into the PACT u will regret big time. UPND watch this space. UPND can have a consistent and Zambian friendly PACT with Hon Milupi and other sane people. We are not short of leaders to have Mr. Sata as our president

  27. UPND be careful with this man Sata. He has seen that he blundered and has been blamed for collapse of the pact and fi you are not carefull he wants to make you look like the ones to blame at the end of it.Please do not return to your vomit.It is not worth it as this man is not credible.You had won alot of kudos from your well wishers by pulling out. The thing is Sata is never trust worth.UPND know this,if you re-engage with this man and fail to work together shortly after,you will find hard to pull out for the second time.I do not need to emphasise how foolish this move be seen in the eyes of the pubblic.Know this also that all those who insist that you need to be in the pact are people who have never and probably will never vote for you but simply want to use you and dump you to become a

  28. Why is Sata pleading with a small tribal party? Has UPND become gold now? What inconsistency is this, he is indeed desperate. One of the conditions should be that HH must be Pact President otherwise Sata is too s.t.u.pid to leads us. Now that he has realised that Chanda Chimba has finished and all sane Zambians do not like him anymore he wants to align himself with HH. Indeed the youngman has reduced this unwise old man. Thanks UPND for using your intellect well. Ni HH kwasila, kipeto, kwamana all the way.

  29. UPND answer this question ‘Is Mr. Sata trustworthy to be a partner? You have your answer and then make a decision

  30. #24 John Phiri, don’t pretend, u r just like Kabimba. Before the PACT broke, you were demonising HH and all southerners, today u r wagging ur tail after Sata pleads with UPND! My foot. U hv been cut to size. Be consistent otherwise u r the spoilers.

  31. Number 37 you should learning to Reason.
    Everyone makes Mistakes,only a fool makes a mistake without realising that he/she has made one.That good ba SATA,you have truely shown that you thinking for the future of this nation.H.H twapapata sumineni naimwe ba PF respond well to the Requests UPND will make. Donchi Kubeba……Pact yabuka…….KALEFUMA!!

  32. Sata is finished..! just like # 12 has put is straight : Satan must apologise to southerners for unwarranted attacks.

  33. UPND LISTEN, AND LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY….

    DON’T be stupid. Leave this PF man and his party alone. If you go back and things fail either before or after the election, that will be the end of HH as a leader. Also, there is no guarantee that if HH started by being the vice-president he can then later be President. There is no guarantee that Zambians will remain loyal to your Pact or indeed individual parties after 2011. For one thing, once in power the only way will be to get kicked out – that is the natural course of political life in Zambia. The only way you can ever be promoted is if in due course of your rulership Sata leaves and gives you the presidentship. Vice-Presidents have a terrible history throughout the world. Very few end up being presidents. You are warned!! HH the fool!

  34. There will be more than 100 responses to this article. Why? I’ll tell you why: the president has spoken.

  35. HH don’t be desparate. Leave this guy and build your party. You are still young. The Pact which you want to go back to will ruin your political life for good. Stop being desparate, Sata is growing old, RB is retiring soon, fairly soon you will be the most elligible person to be President of Zambia. Don’t spoil it just because you want to be in power next year. The truth is, Pact or no Pact, RB is too strong for both of you. All this Pact noise is coming from Lusaka and Copperbelt alone PLUS the few literates in the diaspora, just wait for the elections you will see. It is better for your UPND to lose as a Party and re-group next year, than lose as a Pact. The Pact will leave a terrible stamp on UPND – HH will always be remembered as one who went into a Pact with an untrustworthy chap!!

  36. LAST MESSAGE FROM ME TO UPND:

    REmember this. The only reason Sata has gone down on his knees to plead with UPND is because the Taiwanese are on his shoulders to pay back the debt he is owing. Sata knows that the only way he can ever have the chance of paying back is if he becomes President of Zambia. As soon as he pays the Taiwanese, he can overrule any Pacts he entered with UPND. Being a president is a very powerful position. He will be too powerful for UPND and HH, he can simply kick them out. The Pact is not a constitutional institution. But I will not be surprised to hear that UPND have gone back to the so-called Pact. Why? Because like I have always maintained, HH is too daft as a leader. HH is too risky to be president of Zambia!!

  37. you PF kaponyas, we are not interested in working with you. don’t you get it? go and work with Homos! ala!

  38. Whatever difficulties may come, when you refuse to take them personally you move
    powerfully beyond the limitations of your own ego

  39. Sata is showing strategic political maturity here. First, he is showing voters that he is for the pact even after being openly humiliated by the UPND arrrogance. That is smart. Some of you bloggers can’t think and read between the lines. Look, Sata has portrayed true leadership and selflessness by trying to work with UPND despite UPND’s arrogance and super elevated ego. Sata has one important goal here: maximise and tap into all potential voters. You don’t win elections by being arrogant and standing on top of a hill to announce that you don’t need so and so to win an election; that’s just lame and being naive in politics. Politicals is all about numbers and Sata knows that. HH and his UPND wackers think otherwise, that politics is about playing to the gallery of arrogance. Viva Sata!

  40. WHAT!
    I cant believe this!I will be even more shocked if UPND goes back to this rotten old gas bag!
    This just confirms he is not to be trusted!
    He has no principles and will say and do anything to get to plot1!
    Please UPND prove you are better than this Kaponya by refusing to eat his vomit!

  41. Sata is a real politician,he makes Zambian politics and govt to work, he thinks ahead and has proper interligence. If this is true ,he has weighed the situation on the ground thus the aftermath of PACT break away.

  42. Taiwanese are asking for their money. Sata is desparate. The only way he can pay the money is to mortgate part of Zambia. Otherwise, they will get him one way or another.

    HH as well cannot be trusted. How can one take him serious? Zambia look at the people that want to lead you.

  43. Negotiations and negotiations are healthy in any engagement, so if PF and UPND are able to meet again and ironout the any key issues that is welcome and it will go along way in shaming the MMD and thier patners who want to continue ruling the country forever. PF and UPND can reconcile their differences and build on a strong electoral pact.

  44. I personally do not see any presidential qualities in mr sata.Among all the presidents of parties in zambia his rating is the lowest. His personal attributes are not admirable by any person looking for serious leadership of a poor country like zambia. Indeed it is true that human beings especially africans and zambians in particular inherently fall for the rot.Surprisingly even educated people tend to follow the hollow heads of the kaponyas in the streets and shanty compounds who do not understand the magnitude of zambia economic problems. common country men, we can do better than this.How bad should somebody before you know it.There is nothing good in mr sata as president of any republic.

  45. dealing the illiterate is a hussle..he can;t make decisions on his own..hahah..let HH go n see what you will gain as PF..viva under five!!

  46. Well done to SATA for showing leadership and humility and negotiating fresh talks. Thats the way forward! VIVA PACT!!!

  47. Stop deceiving yourselves that “Sata is showing strategic political maturity here”. Where was Sata when the pact was in existence? Where was he when UPND was begging for pact to work? He was busy destroying it together the post and his Kabimba and now he want to pretend that he wants the pact to work.. What nonsense is this?

  48. NO PACT NO VOTING..Is the state of affairs on the ground and the pact is the wish of the people not UPND or PF party-No it is for Zambia…TRY TO GO YOUR OWN WAYS AND MMD WINS..FINISH

  49. party for fools you are really a pain the ass matope yawiso tombanoko…….do you have a life i wonder?
    ifimakandi kwati lifwasa lyakwa bulimbo kuchinsali….*****!!

  50. @ THE IGWE

    Dont be naive to tell HH that he will be the most elligible when RB and Sata retires. Who was the most eligible when MMD was formed? who was the most eligible when chiluba was about to retire? who was the most eligible to succeed mwanawasa? the answer is zambian presidents come from nowhere and HH will be risking to foregore the vice presidency in the pact gvt and wait for 2016 which may never come

  51. It will NOT work. I am privy UPND inside info. The Senior MP told HH that if he makes a U-turn they will join Magande or get him kicked out from UPND. The Senior MP’s have acknowledged evidence that indeed Sata owes millions of money. Therefore, they do not want to be smeared with corruption from day one.

    Ba Kaponya – don’t count on this. Just tell Sata to pay the money he owes. There is no PACT. Its finished

  52. Redirection of winds of change is hereby needed. Winds of change sometimes are subjected to misdirection. Please be tolerant and accommodating. Please stir the boat, together with the pact partners, in the right direction.

  53. number 12 you are a scrotum,a very big scrotum you are..ulebeya amaso chikala your friends are rearing chickens and you r busy ukusunga ifimaso mutoko obe stambwa…check your dick mother father!!!

  54. It does not matter what anyone says or comments on this blog. HH is not s.tupid. he is just using this to let Zambia see how f.oolish sata has been. Sata has been reduced to begging. Now Zambia can see that Sata was the one that was wasting time all this time. Now people have seen who is more credible between Sata.

  55. HH must go back to the pact with him a the leader! He is young and has a clean record. This will increase their chance of winning the elections. Sata will fail to win elections alone and it makes sense for him to step aside and let HH contest.

  56. Actually, the sand has shifted right under Sata’s feet, owing to his aging brain and political stature. The excuse he is giving that he was being wrongly advised on pact issues are a face saver. Listen, it was Sata who said PF is bigger than the pact, he said Pact can’t be led by under-five politician, he said UPND is a small village party that uses tribe to think and not their brains (this insult surely was not imposed on him) and he also announced that PF will field in all the 150 constituencies. All these statements and positions were an imposition or ill advice from someone close to him supposedly Winter Kamimba or Guy Scott? I don’t buy this. HH is on the right path and Sata is fearing the worst humiliation during polls. UPND just launch the real change campaign and we are with you

  57. NOw that he pleads, HH should demand nothing less than being the presidential candidate. He is the change that Zambians want.

  58. A friend who comes to you when things are not well with him, but insults you and your people when he is well is NO friend at all. HH, be wise..if at all you read this part…you will be abused if by any means you accept this offer with poison behind it…Any way, may God bless Zambia

  59. Don’t be cheated, SATAn never repents, he just changes positions. Infact he is the father of all lies

  60. Sata is really a relic from the past.His tactics belong to politics of the 1930s.
    PLEASE GOD intervene so this Kaponya does not become president.
    It is very unlikely but with the simple majority rule and so many confused illeterate Kaponyas,you cant ignore that remote possibility

  61. good move.I give the pact my vote if they can work it out.UPND, the pact is the people’s wish, so reconsider you position.

  62. God help us that this be a true thing. Am asking every well meaning Zambian to pray that all works out for the pact as we can’t afford to leave the MMD to rule us anymore than this. MMD is now completely outdate and they have to go. God help opur mother Zambia !!!!! Pact for real ..

  63. No . 34
    Those are just MMD allegations to destroy sata. They have been working day and night to bring stories of confusion in the pact. These two leaders were supposed just to discuss their way forward as soon as possible.

  64. why moderate my postings when kaponya’s like the monkey from congo are allowed to insult. no 68 go and climb a tree and piss like the other monkey did at state house. buffoon just like sata

  65. its too late for now sata after insulting the whole of southern province and also revealing that you are homo yourself. just go away and bury your head in the sand

  66. The two Political parties in the now defunct opposition alliance have continued with their squabbles.
    The Patriotic Front (PF) has now accused the former partner party, the UPND, of undermining the alliance.
    Just last week, the UPND President Hakainde Hichilema also accused the PF of being responsible for the demise of the pact.
    But PF Spokesperson, Wynter Kabimba has alleged in Lusaka today that the UPND in fact begun undermining the pact last year. Mr. Kabimba has meanwhile said disclosed of his party’s regret over the demise of the pact.

    SO NOW WHEN DID THINGS CHANGE BETWEEN YESTERDAY AND TODAY? SATA IS A USELESS COWARD WITH NO PLAN, CHIMBWI NO PLAN!!

  67. HH has put Sata to where he needed to put him.

    He is kneeling, making frantic phone calls and shouting at his people. Wynter Kabinda’s father has strongly asked his son to leave the PF.Wynter is tone betweeen the Father & Sata. Sata knows that Wynter’s values the fathers advise so much and that any time he might pull out PF

    Lubinda has been asked to play SpokesPerson again but has refused, becuase he [ Lubinda ] says will find it hard to defend Sata with more STRONG Revelation with evidence coming from Mumbi & MMD .

    Really the boat is sinking so fast for Sata….

  68. The MMD have given the PF and UPND free advice, unite or lose! And besides HH has more to gain than old cobra in this pact in short comrade HH has no choice!

  69. No.24 John Phiri

    Imbwa iwe, you have changed sides. After insulting HH, you are back with your tail between your legs!!! You cant even be a consistent bootlicker?

  70. its hard to believe how gullible some zambians are.I think you deserve Sata to lead you mwe.This guy has no vision .one minute he says this next minute he says that. and you are busy applauding! No leadership material here.If HH sinks so low as to accept this offer I’ll be really disgusted.I guess we deserve the leadership we have.If there are no young vibrant leaders out there I guess you deserve Sata.May God help Zambia! I’m outta here

  71. People sure show maturity. Married couples have differed and separated but eventually reconciled and brought up children together which is a wise course to take. Wisdom has nothing to do with academic be it professional education. Just give every support to revive the pact. Only those who do not mean well for zambians are against this new development. If upnd go alone definately they will lose the presidential election. Similarly if pf go alone it is very likely they will not win either. So what is the point of discouranging revival of the pact. Only immature kids can do that so that at the end of the day (after losing presidential elections) people will see/realise that so upnd or pf was inevitable in the pact. All those remarks such kaponyas, learned, are useless but wisdom count.

  72. No wonder you Zambians are suffering! You deserve the suffering zoona, and I think actually that you are not suffering enough for your amatuerish and ignorant understanding of things. How can someone grown call what Sata has just done as “polictical maturity” and “strategic thinking”. You dimwits the only thing mature and strategic about what Sata has done is his own selfish ends. Sata has over $30million debt to the Taiwanese that he can’t pay unless he is president of Zambia. Wake up! Sata is a terrible human being, probably the worst human being in Zambian politics today. I just don’t see how can be trusted to run Zambia with this sort of character. THANKFULLY he will never be President, with or without the Pact. If HH wants to go back to him that’s up to UPND.

  73. I was beginning to develop some measure of respect for HH. Now if this turns out to be true, well I don’t know what is the best english word to describe his foolishness.

  74. People, don’t get ahead of yourselves here. The big man has just humbled himself for the sake of the nation and doesn’t need your dull ridicule! “Ati PF needs UPND more than UPND needs PF? What a joke! Look, we need each other but with due respect, by how many votes did Sata lose the last election and please tell me the same for HH??? Even in companies, does the minority shareholder decide who the managing director will be??? By the way, when HH loses the 2011 elections, I wonder if he’ll be spared by people like Chizyka within UPND. This might be his last shot at the presidency. Advice to HH; USE YOUR LAST SHOT WELL!

  75. And does HH subscribe to the homosexuality that Chilufya supports? I guess not, what do you say UPND cadres?.

  76. #93, I am sure that you did not mean to but you have hit the nail on the head. The Pact cannot succeed because it is based on winning elections, in simple terms who takes what position. No national interest at all, that is the doom of the Pact. Anyway try again and break up again two weeks before elections, RB has already hinted at the date and is busy putting his arsenals together. PACT for 2016! hehehehe hihihihi kikikiki.

  77. PF / UPND, get on with the PACT or else we all know the outcome of this year’s results… we’ll just be fulfilling fixtures. That’s is JUST the TRUTH, bitter or not… if bitter, you’ll just have to take it with a cup of water! Anybody saying we should go separate ways is just some MMD sponsored piece of … paid to de-rail the PACT, coz the know that uity in the PACT means “kiss dust” for them. PERIOD!

  78. Ba John Phiri # 24. What r you saying now? Mailo ati we dont need the pact, lelo ati NO pact No vote. Hahahahahahahahahahaahahahaha……Indicisiveness just like ur debt dogged and homo advocate cycle mata. Your Prez has realized after gothering facts on the ground that he is losing ground.You, Winter, and the rest of ur kaponyaz are only worth of leaders at soweto market, nothing more. I love my country too much to use it to pay personal debts…mwamona ifya kukongola kongola, hans off my country.

  79. Which conditions guys upnd? stop puffing and accept the situation that u are in politics to save the people not to brag about your intelligence. Remember intelligence is like underwear which u do not necessarlily show it but its a must that u shud have it

  80. Abakulu bakulu .If we all want MMD to go, pact is the answer and no change. Mundala knows that MMD has dribblers.

  81. At least bashikulu has realised that Kabimba is a Liability and menacing pact cohesion. I strongly feel HH sould be Presdo whilst the mudala retaing vice. I shall work. I say so because bamudala cannot be a good presdo given his deteriorated image presently. i.e. Insulting Southerners, N/westerners, HH in person and Westerners. These are conservative people and indivisible. They are not like us baLuapula that are easily bought and divided. Lets swallow our pride my vote is on HH.

  82. It will be very difficult for HH to accept this PACT. However, he may choose to enter into negotiations and not PACT first, then negotiate later. While this will present a real challange to HH, there is also a real opportunity for the PACT to come up with a very good manifesto to rival that of the rulling party. The other opportunity is that HH now knows the people he would be dealing with should he decide to come back to the marriage of inconvenience.The old wine into a new bottle does not make the old wine new. Meaning that these guys will not suddenly wake up to be new guys with fresh ideas. Power struggle, the thirsty for plot 1 has not disappeared overnight. The situation of the PACT is still very much like Zanu-PF and MDC Govt. in Zimbabwe (where suspiscion & conflict is daily bread)

  83. Wisdom is given by God but knowledge is acquired academically. One does not need to have a Phd or degrees to be a leader with vision. Wisdom on the other hand is greater than knowledge.

  84. Fellow Zambians, greetings in the name of the pact and the entire opposition.
    First and for all most, allow me to thank the two presidents of the pact for displaying unprecedented levels of maturity by convening at a round table to table issues of great importance to the people of Zambia. I take my hat off though to Mr Sata for taking the initiative to reach out to his companion Mr. Hakainde whom i also bow my head at for showing high levels humility. Zambians are crying out to you two from all corners of the earth and saying that ” they are tired , hungry, flabbergasted, annoyed… etc.” with the current clot of criminals sucking from the country like ticks. thus are asking with tears in their eyes saying you are the only beacon of hope. My humble plea to you two is ” please hear…

  85. serial wankers! one minute you call your friend a tribalist, nxt you want to re-negotiate?neanderthals, all of you!

  86. @106
    You dont understand what journalism is. You only want to hear what befits you. what a shame to have such people in society. Such is the reason why Daily mail, Times and ZNBC are considered to be biased.

  87. Enough about who said what and who is what. The pact was formed because the people of Zambia wanted it be so. People hear need to be objective. Its not just the matter of comenting and insulting your futire leaders. Its actually un Zambian to haul insults at elderly people. We need to forgive each other here and move forward. We sincerely need to review the pact with a view to form the next Government and above all, sincererity will be the key thing here with God’s guidance to be supreme.

    People we need to intercede for our leaders and those who wish or ought to become leaders.

  88. #94 The Igwe.
    The way you talking sounds like you have the potential of being MUSHOTA’S hubby after all you are both in the UK.

  89. pf kaponya’s are all a bunch of losers and dreamers. what nonsense coming from them. tomorrow when sata says pact is dead they will change their tune and start insulting HH

  90. When the president speaks everyone dashes to their keyboards. Any story with PF or Sata in the headline gets people busy.

    Check:
    RB warns against parallel vote tabulation: 62 comments
    MMD sets March 25 as nomination date: 53 comments
    Government seeks to amend gratuity law for President Banda: 11 comments

    All articles with Sata and/or PF in heading: >100 comments.

  91. I am beginning to think PF supporters are retarded or missing a screw somewhere in their thick heads. Can’t they see that Sata is really desperate to get in Power and will use this to pay of his massive debt? HH I have respect for you please reason because even an under 5 can read Sata. He will be even worse than chiluba, trust me

  92. 118 Limbikani Gondwe

    Its because Sata is a joke and most of his followers, not all but talk Shiite. Just like in life, Bad or Distasteful news spreads like wild-fire

    If you “Limbikani Gondwe” made two sisters pregnant, like Sata, the news will travel fast. And you helped or did good to a fellow human being – that is not news that travels fast

  93. Countrymen and women its my humble plea that we as PF and UPND work well together. We have come a long and survived a lot of obstacles in form of by-elections some won some lost and the continued underhand attacks from MMD in form of K25bn used to sponsor destabilisation of the PACT. Please we are near the tip of the mountain, let us not relent but push forward for the summit, we are nearly there.VIVA ZAMBIA VIVA PACT!!!

  94. That is exactly how the PF politicians behave with marriages. They beat up their wives and then they follow them and plead for reunion!

  95. Definitely the old man is finished. So if he still wants the PACT let him agree to be VP. Please HH, put your foot down. Dont facilitate for Sata to sell this country to Taiwani. The message is clear on the wall. I even wonder how some Zambians sink so low as to be tossed from one contradictory lie to another by this Grade 4. Let him go and farm. HH, if you are not bold enough to lead, then just leave us alone to continue with Step dad RB.

  96. The PACT, if it worked would be a disaster to the opposition and a Plus to MMD.
    Most people think it will be a direct addition of HH and SATA’s votes in previous elections.
    Watch out; public opinion does not obey the law of basic arithmetic of 1+1=2.
    Public opion follows laws of dynamics: what influences people to vote?
    What are the parameters that cause them to vote in the way they do?
    Should these paramenters change are we gona see the same pattern of vote? No, No, No.
    Remove SATA in the picture (as president) and forget about Lsk, CB, Luapula, and Northern.
    Remove HH in the picture (as presidential candidate) then forget about Sothern, Western, N/Western, Lusaka Rural, and most of Central Rural.
    Those who think am stating COMIC, wait until the elections and see it for yourself

  97. Sata is a political genius. Has any of you scoundrels screaming unpalatable at Sata ever single-handedly formed and managed to grow a political party from nothing to what PF is today? Tell me? Sata is politically successful and a gifted charismatic orator. Look, his PF has been growing by the day and no sane person can challenge this fact. What has HH to show? He hijacked the leadership of a once thriving party and now has reduced it to shambles; to simply a tribal club full of egoistic buffoons heading off a steep cliff. Fact is Sata is in politics by choice and not for financial opportunism like your HH. Sata enjoys his political life with the goal to serve Zambia. Call him whatever you wish, but fact is he is the in-coming President of GRZ like it or not; deal with it!!

  98. Therefore the PACT simply works in the interest of MMD.
    I say so because of the following scenarios:

    1) If the PACT fails, neither PF nor the UPND has enough capacity to with the elections alone.

    (2) If the PACT worked out, then two scenarios can arise, either:
    a) HH becomes prident: this leads to disorientation of Lusaka and Copperbelt which would loose most voters to MMD. The same would apply for Northern and Luapula, 95% would drift to MMD
    b) SATA becomes prident: this would cause Southern province, Western Province, N/Western province and most of Central province, including Lusaka Rural to drift to MMD.
    Both scenarios under (2) would give an enomous advantage to MMD wich would win elections by over 60% Vote.

  99. #126, keeping dreaming with your MMD “advantage”. Look, in the event that PF and UPND go separate ways the likely scenerio is that PF will still carry Lusaka, CB, Luapula, Northern and a significant part of Central. UPND and Magande will share Southern and North-Western. Milupi will take it all in Western. MMD will get eastern and a part of Central. So, when you do your math, who wins?? If UPND and PF form a pact, UPND will just be enjoying a free ride becoz they will not bring much votes with them (just one and a half province if not less).

  100. Magande is insignificant in politics even in his own area, Chilanga was a mere advantage of the MMD ticket just like most PF MPs in Lusaka.

    Milupi will not risk standing for presidencial elections, but rather as an MP on his party ticket. So no threat to MMD.

    SATA will take LSK, CB, Luapula, Northern and a significant part of Central. This he has always done so it makes no difference. After all someone warned us of doing the same thing yet expecting different results. If Sata has taken these areas always and he takes them again so what?

    People want to behave like politicians who want to be told what they want to hear, even if it is not what is on the ground. If I say by analysis MMD will win elections, what makes you think I support MMD? We can choose to close our eyes to reality.

  101. Folks, fellow bloggers do you call this leadership. Today you say onething , the next day change. Sata is really a finished politician while HH is immature for sure

  102. Lets not full ourselves with statistics we may not be sure are acurate. let each one of us support the party we are affiliated to, vote for whoever we want and at the end of the day we will have an elected president, like we always have had since 1991.

  103. #130 your observation is very objective. I hope everyone manages to see that.
    It is surprising, however, that some people call that behaviour as being a ‘political genius’.
    In my view, a genius is not one who manages to organize the largest and best collection of tools yet fails to use them.
    I think a genius is one who may not have the best tools but makes the best use of them.

  104. Is this what they meant by Donchi kubele? I used to support PF but ve stopped from today. What an irresponsible leader

  105. Well if what Sata is showing is experience then his experience is surely useless experience and Zambia does not need it. How can you have a person who is not organised in the head then you call him as having experience. Sata is as good as a chameleon and you cannot have such a disorganized individuals to rule a country….

  106. I think Fine you re right, let him just keep putting pressure on Government but not to be at the helm. He is a total failure & disaster at the same time

  107. Dear Bloggers,
    If any of you has mobile phone numbers for both HH and SATA, kindly give them to me as I want to speak to them, as a concerned Zambian in the diaspora.

  108. Why should Zambians pay for a personal debt of so many million dollars? Should we be subjected to pay (through taxes or printed money) for a personal debt at the expense of development, social services and the like??? Wake up Zambians… no individual should hold us at ransom for personal dreams/goals.

  109. WARNING TO SATA NOW CHAMPION OF BESTIALITY IN ZAMBIA

    EXCERPT

    “donor had unprotected gay sex in the 11 weeks”

    Transplant patient got AIDS from new kidney

    ATLANTA – A transplant patient contracted AIDS from the kidney of a living donor, in the first documented case of its kind in the U.S. since screening for HIV began in the mid-1980s.

    It turns out the donor had unprotected gay sex in the 11 weeks between the time he tested negative and the time the surgery took place in 2009

  110. #140 this information is too advanced for this people. i know where you’re coming from. Back to the pack. Raise above pettiness and deliver. Live beyond and above self interests. This pack will once again prove that Tonga Bemba,Luvale Lozis. Kaonde, Ngonis,Chewa are one in this fight. We have a job to do to secure our lives and that of our children. Sata stop being a snake in the grass, stop being a flip flopper. Find humility by surrounding yourself with smart people. You’ve that gift of pragmatism and rallying people but not a great leader in policy making.

  111. #140 Is that donor your brother-in-law you just brought to Antlanta, last October? Is it that he sold that kidney for $5000, because you persistently asked your in-law to refund for the airticket?

  112. If this story is true then HH has had his position strengthened to lead the PACT. From what the majority of bloggers are writting, it is plain for all to see that all they want is for Sata to be the president with the help of UPND. If UPND is as smart as they claim to be, they MUST ask for nothing less than the presidency. If sata can change when he has no instruments of state power, what more whhen he assumes that? He is simply unreliable and beyond his “sell by date.”

  113. Good news to listen to.Bane twatotela amashiyi aya mwalanda.Ba Sata poseni amano kumwaice HH please groom him to the next president of this country.I for one would want some body young like HH to rule after 2016.

  114. MMD PROPANGA TACTS WHICH UPND AND P-Fsupporters can’t see BUT it being used to fool them, AND they continue beingnfoooled .
    THE TRUTH WHICH GOD KNOWS IS THAT HH/UPND WILL NEVER GO INTO A PACT.IT IS AS GOOD AS SAYING THAT GOD GOES TO BED WITH LUCIFER SATAN THE DEVIL THE LIAR.
    How can MMD love to be joined by HH when has never been MMD and when MMD has forsaken SIAKAFUSWA, MULONGOTI,MPOMBO,KAVINDELE,and MMD made Prof Chirwa to run away.
    THE TRUTH IS HH/UPND is the cleanest party with its President as at now .
    And for that MMD will ensure they Politically and/or physically destroy HH.

  115. On “Mr. Sata is said to have complained to the UPND president that some people close to him were advising him wrongly on the issue of the PACT… PF president is said to have written to the UPND requesting to have a fresh look at the electoral alliance of the two biggest political parties in the country” I hope HH and the rest of the UPND Team will reject the advance by serpent Sata MC to revive the PF-UPND PACT.

    UPND must now request for a “UPND-Sata Deal” where Sata must support UPND president HH for Zambian President and Sata must not stand for President of Zambia in the 2011 elections. The once HH wins the 2011 presidential election, HH will have to appoint Sata MC to be Minister of Local Government and Housing. This will cut confusion in supporters’ minds.

    B…

  116. #46 Be reminded, that is if you read the Bible, that when SATANA THE DEVIL THE LIAR speaks and the the majority responds leaving GOD and his son JESUS who are not liars nor deceivers with the TRUTH. SO THE NUMBER OF C0OMMENTS TO WHAT SATA SAYS IS NOT A JUSTIFICATION OF HIM BEING FAVOURED.

  117. Sata and PF should be sincere this time around. They have realised that no matter small UPND is it has got balance votes for PF. My proposal for the PACT cabinet Sata President Vice HH and share govt positions 50-50 basis Defence PF Home Affairs UPND Foreign PF(Dr. G Scott) Finance UPND(Prof. C Chirwa) Legal PF (Winter)Commerce UPND(Kapita R) Transport PF(Nsanda) Education UPND(Siyakalima) Lands PF Tourism UPND( S. Katuuka) Agric UPND R. Chizyuka) Mines PF (Simusa) energy UPND(G.Nkombo) Community PF Labour PF (M Misapa) Sport UPND (Kambwili) Local Govt PF(J Kapata) Higher Edu PF (Mumbi) Works & Supply UPND (V. Moya) Information PF (G. Lubinda) Health UPND(Dr Manda) and the list will go on. In this way those who are scared of losing out will be happy about the who whole arrangement.

  118. AS for the positions for Deputy Ministers those could be swaped so that there is balancing or leveling. As for those cadres then they can slotted in here and there.

  119. #51 YOU ARE ARROGANCE ITSELF. SO YOU ARE NOT HELPING SATA/PF. WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT KABIMBA’S FATHER ADVISING ZAMBIANS NOT TO VOTE FOR SATA/PF BUT TO VOTE FOR HH/UPND. Is that arrogance by Kambimba’s father?

  120. #54 SATA Iis too slow to see what is on the ground .HH saw that long time ago when he kept on telling Zambians and those who are for the pact that we need HH/UPND+SATA/PF together nbut KABIMBA andGUY SCOT(Intelectuals) together with other PF intelectuals in insultijng and arrogance were taking pride in saying that HH/UPND wants to ride on SATA/PF.

  121. col panji advices upnd to accept that it is a small party and should support pf for presidency .sources radio phoenix let the pipo talk

  122. If the PF and UPND are serious about wining this year’s elections, they should bite the bullet and hold the bull by it’s horns. THEY SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING!!!

  123. HH

    Go your way.Sata is unpredictable,its just that he has realised that he cannot win an elaction alone. You will this year do better that the last elction in that you have won back Western and N/western provinces.You have also penetrated CB and you are in Liusaka

  124. @ 33 WE MBWA WE DON’T U KNOW THAT HUMILITY IS THE POWER OF THE LAMB…. WALOBA ILYAUMA

    BA SATA EKUKULA UKO I THINK I WILL GIVE YOU MY VOTE! HH WORK WITH SATA……….WI

    WILLIAM BANDA BOMBASA YAPONA………
    LIFWEKELO MUPELENKO TISSUE

  125. @ PAMWE CHETE YOU ARE MY MAN! I WILL BRING YOU ON BOARD IN MY POLITICAL PARTY TO BE BORN AFTER HH’S SECOND TERM….GOOD ANALYSIS MWANA BUT I DISAGREE WITH YOU ON ROBBIE CHIZYUKA,
    CLIVER BEST TAKE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AND NOT KAMBWILI FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
    FINANCE WILL BE FOR FELIX MUTATI BECAUSE HE IS DEFECTING TO UPND IN JUNE

  126. Sometime when I see certain comments posted I am so amazed and I cant believe people are so shallow in thinking.Come on lets try to be cynical with things here. Whether the old man gone to beg it just shows that he mature enough to apologize and seek a way forward.@Chi Satana chikala kwata amano.President Sata has shown more than any of the presidential hopefuls the ability to interact and dialogue with others. You are such a prick.Zambia needs change now.You are just a tribalist.VIVA SATA…VIVA HH…VIVA PACT

  127. The way to go is the Pack. If the pack fail, Pf will loose, Upnd will loose and HH will loose big time. If MMD wins HH companies will be destroyed. What has happened to Matani and Finance Bank will happen to HH and all his companies. Please HH work hard in the pack so that MMD is dead and buried or eselse consider yourself bankrupt as MMD Will work hard to bring down so much that your name is remove from the political picture. HH, Pf is not your enermy. Your real enermies are Chief mukuni, mwanachingwala, Robby chizuka,Pf rebel Mps and MMD. Please be wise!!! Vote for the pact.

  128. HH do not agree, how can someone plead for a Tonga, Lozi and Luvale party, pf just go on with you majority, and leave the loners to fend for themselves. You have mistreated HH enough and we are ready to punish you for that. Pf just fit in the opposition not in GRZ because the man is the worst zambia can ever have. Go HH, leave this recycled politician who has been there from time imemorial without retirement. What is that he failed to do with his Chiluba regime that he can do now, only divisions and thuggery. Wake up zambias snakes are coming in the name of Sata.

  129. Ah ah ah ah, the Big man now wants to work with the “Under 5” with a “small tribalist party”..POLITICS, awe sure.
