THE Government has advised MMD presidential aspirant Kabinga Pande to concentrate on his campaign instead of dragging the Patriotic Front (PF) in his ill-conceived rhetoric.
Information, Broadcasting and Tourism minister Given Lubinda said in an interview in Lusaka yesterday that Mr Pande had diverted his energies from rebuilding his party to attacking the PF Government.
He said Mr Pande who is Kasempa Member of Parliament should stop cheap publicity meant to propel his desperate desire to ascend to the MMD presidency.
The minister was reacting to accusations by Mr Pande at a media briefing in Lusaka on Wednesday that the PF government was tribal and had embarked on ‘trial and error.’
But Mr Lubinda said it was clear that Mr Pande wanted to spark debate with the Government in order to boost his chances of taking over the MMD leadership.
The minister said Mr Pande should concentrate his campaigns on issues within the MMD and explain to the people what he intended to do
instead of misdirecting his efforts.

LUBINDA you rubb**ishi cheap cheap liar!
you know the truth but want to defend your boss by all cost
have you not seen all the tribalism being brewed and all the problems being cause by your government
tribalism my ass…whats wrong with @gagande..we need positive comments here…..shaaaaaH
Kabinga, you are unpopular, stop fighting PF, it is already in power and ruling. How do you fight with a winner. Common start planning on how you to organize and sell yourself to your supporters and not waste your energies on PF, otherwise you will lose even the few supporters you have currently..
The best thing to do should have been to ignore him. Mabenga is busy accusing QFM of having been the ones who made the MMD lose the election.
These plonkers have gone bonkers!
@Gagande 1 why is everything to you is seen in tribe? Be reasonable for a change and embrace all Zambian as one
Just ignore Pande. Only yesterday, Mabenga was saying they lost because QFM capaigned for PF.
Some people are so retarded that they are intimidated by the clever ones. Now if the clever ones speak Bemba they hate the tribe. Gagande would not say in person what he blogs because he is a coward who feels intimidated by so many Bemba speakers
. So he. Will always hide behind his penname for his tribal outbursts
@1 u rubish. wat tribalism.is issac banda bemba and the other non bembas appointed by the big man mr. sata. pipo you should learn to apprecaite alittle things these pf have done.
The next MMD candidate will have a big chance of becoming a republican president cos sata is not standing in 2016. The other pf candidate will be a walk over
kabinga pande is an *****, the man has no morals. who can this stupid dull man lead with a ka diploma in news writting? let he try to become a provincial president for the dead MMD in NWP may be he can succed.
I don’t know whether to lough or cry . Gaganda whatever this creature is called. With anyone who speak Bemba language is Bemba. Any one appointed by the President is Bemba. Hallucination all the way!

no. 7 you are not correct . yes as much as SATA does not stand in 2016 , dont think pf is not preparing some1 to ascend on highest office . believe me among opposition political party i see one join or work along with pf . guess who among these parties ? and that is where the president who shall propel pf in 2016 . mmd kwasila baba . God is not a fool . pipo u should realise what extent of subjecting majority zambian living in poverty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unip is better than MMD
@Gagande- Disgruntled little bigot. Tell daddy his circumcision is overdue.
@1 Gagande for your own information Lubinda is not even Bemba but Lozi,and he is serving in Sata’s government because of his hard working. so stop this nonsense of preaching hatred against Bemba’s. Mind you if you issue such sentiments expect to get a hit from Bemba’s and just suck it up.
How you Bembas get worked up at nothing surprises me. You are very good at accusing others of tribalism but it is a well known fact that you are the more tribal of all tribes in Zambia. Just chill because a tribe is really nothing in the eyes of God. We are all created in the image of God regardless of who you think you are? I smell some inferiority complex here. You want to defend Sata even with you life regardless of whether he is right or wrong and guess for the wrong reasons. I am sure non of you have even received a sweet from the serpent and yet you want to portray as though you are also in the driving seat. What we want is development not your sick tribal superiority. Okey you are superior, does that change your status now!!!!!? Work hard for you future and your children’s future.
This government stinks of tribalism at every layer of GRZ operations. All the commission of inquiries are led by bembas. diplomatic missions will now be filled with 60% direct or indirect relatives of kateka and his wife. This is more than tribalism but a mixed masala nepotism+tribalism.
bembas are stupid. i no longer live in zambia , i nolonger vote but i keep an eye in world current affairs,what is wrong is wrong even if its from a bemba MAN. as long as u dont have a civilized approach with all ur education u still appear foolISH THIRD-WORLD graduate.Gagande has some sense even if he is grade 7 leaver than u lot.
@MWIPONTA MUKABWELA
Don’t be ridiculous. Â This coloured Lubinda is a non-Lozi with a Lozi name. Â He is from Chilenje. Â Otherwise you tell me what village and under which chief he comes from? He reminds me of Mwansa Mutanuka who definitely was not Lozi. Lubinda is for window-dressing only to fool Lozi id!ots. Â Loziness is not about names but behaviour. Â Leave us out of your PF madness and incompetence.
If what I am hearing about Pande is true, then forget the man he has no vision to lead the dying party. The best he can do is start Kaimbwe salt business in Kasempa. Can you imagine such a man being president of Zambia. He has forgetten of the Kaondes he sent into foreign missions when he was Foreign Afdfars Minister. Was that tribalism? Tell him to just shut up because people were and are still watching..
With all these cu-nts on here talking about tribalism; is Guy Scott Bemba???
The problem with Zambians is that we like to complain too much, this is one reason why our country can never develop at the rate of our neighbours. There is a lot of talk with no action, plus a very heavy dependency culture (I have no money so I’ll go to so and so to beg, never offering to work for it). Get off your backsides and work harder to get your self into power and represent your people, why should you get positions on a silver plate. Furthermore, you’ll find that there are a lot of intermarriages going and some of the poeple being appointed are mixed tribal ancestory. Well, unless you are from one of those tribes that do not like to mix….mwashala mweka ba fipuli…
why should it always be tongas vs bembas on each and every article posted on this site? for once ZAMBIANS lets grow up, cos we have only one zambia which we share. should we disintegrate like this over who is leading who? am sure foreigners, envious of how we live in harmony, are behind all this. be careful fellow zambians. i will be back!
Yaba – and to say someone has been condeming me??? All you guys from #1 to #24, okay what’s the point you are arguing about??? Sometimes just leave LusakaTimes stories to run without commenting. Your comments are just GRAFFITTI!!!
