Macky 2, Dandy Crazy Won’t Help Lungu Win 2016 -FDD
President Edgar Lungu and his PF should hire American rapper Jay-Z if they want but the fact still stands that they will be voted out in 2016, says FDD spokesperson Antonio Mwanza.
On Sunday, President Lungu held a private meeting with local musicians such as Dandy Crazy and Macky 2 at State House. But Mwanza said in the 2016 elections, people will vote based on competence and capability to deliver the expectations of Zambians and not anything else. “We are not taking away anything good from the wonderful musicians we have but if the President thinks he can win by persuading musicians or making them campaign for him, then he is very much mistaken.
People will look at the performance of the economy and social development. Look at the current situation in our country! The price of fuel is high; even the cost of charcoal is very high. There is the problem of load-shedding, universities are facing serious problems. Almost everything is collapsing,” Mwanza said. He said winning the 2016 elections would not be based on massive campaigns or money but the passion and dedication to serve Zambians with integrity. Mwanza further appealed to Zambians to weigh what the current government had done against what other political parties were offering.
“On the basis of the records and performance, PF should be voted in or out. When they came into government, the dollar stood at K4.50, today it is at K8.65. This means the cost of all essential commodities have gone up over the last four years. This is the basis on which people will vote,” he said. Mwanza further said the recent closure and reopening of the Copperbelt University should make students ask themselves if this is the kind of government they wanted. He said the closure was not only costly to the parents who did not have enough money but also to the nation. Mwanza further urged the youths to seriously take the 2016 general elections because the future of Zambia was in their hands.
“The only way to bring change is to ensure that you vote for people who can add value to your lives and not for people who will buy you Chibuku beer or because of a musician hired to perform at a rally. You should realise that the vote that you have is your opinion.
And if you make a bad decision, you would have to live with it for the next five years,” said Mwanza.

Alungu is likely to lose more than any incumbent president in the annals of zambian history:the man is just a fluke,very pathetic indeed!I wonder why he’s ever high & brag about winning via -‘white washing’ his opponent(s) HH in particular!I also question the normality of other opposition leaders who do the same when they fail to win a paltry councillor for decades down the line!Surely,even when we are espouncing democracy,its high time sane radical adults supported HH & his UPND on sane grounds!Anyway,this will definitely happen next year,I’m seeing progressive & proactive rational opposition parties joining HH in masses! PF is really going next year & we will demand the office of the Auditor General to thoroughly & authentically audit these lounge lizards masquerading as governing Zambia in the name of PF! All the loans,contracts,appointments & court cases will have to be radically reviewed on a helicoptic view!We will demand for justice, transparency & accountability-it will be a revolution for zambia & will advocate for an overhaul of all institutions for efficiency & accountability-A revolution task for will be designed & formulated to pursue this agenda!

Now you who are speaking, are you a people? Is ECL stomping at your ballz?
Advise: You need to worry at the fact that Lungu seems to be aligning himself with the people that speak to the masses and at the grassroots while your Icilema entangles his leadership appeal with clowns like Plato. You are losing the plot as your multi-named single bloggers at tumfweko try hard but fail to convince the other 30. Lungu is going on to 2021 & your emperor Hichilema will puke crushed bottles.

BE WISE…!!!
Instead of being critical of people in authority over you and envious of their position, be happy you’re not responsible for everything they have to do. Instead of piling on complaints, thank them for what they do. Overwhelm them with encouragement and appreciation!

Antonio is right. This administration, like others before it, does not have the calibre or the quality to turn our country around economically. Despite being such a richly endowed nation we are still wallowing in poverty. I agree with Obama: the missing link to Africa’s development is quality leaders.

August 29, 2015 at 6:45 pm
You are A only ‘people’ seeing that poverty in your home. What we are seeing, experiencing or going through is a tough battle to survive as we did yesterday and seeing this as a challenge. If you are poor boyi, speak for yourself and your fellow poverty stricken upnd goons.
Give me statistics of upnd lowlifes that have died due to the dollar rate rise.

August 29, 2015 at 6:49 pm
kiki you seem upset. As they say, the truth hurts bane. How many problems are we facing. If you are enjoying those little benefits of being related to a pf official do not think that everyone has that opportunity. Only the pf goons are enjoying that is why you are blinded from reality. Load shedding, currency depreciation need i go on?
kakolwe
August 29, 2015 at 7:06 pm
Yes, you can go on in that repetitive uselessness known even by yourself. Load shedding ain’t a politics phenomenon. Even my toddler son knows that & compels his siblings not to open the fridge anyhow because there won’t be power between 19 & 24hrs. I bet in upnd homes you are dying & resurrecting as soon as power comes back on. Related to PF politicians? Nope!! I have worked hard & continue to do so. Why should I drive to Soweto market for overpriced tomatoes & cabbage when I can suspend a 5m x 5m simba lawn for veggies? Only ifinkuula like you will expect Hichilema to come & teach you to be self-reliant.

August 29, 2015 at 7:14 pm
kiki kakolwe so you think it is acceptable that we have load shedding for that long. How are people supposed to do the same self reliant business you are dreaming about? Do not be naive and sheild yourself from the fact that things are bad. Just because you are able to manage does not mean that the million of poor zambians are in the same shoes as you. That is why we say the pf does not care about the under privilleged in society. To you, as long as you are ok then everyone else should be. That is why we are saying that the pf have lost the plot.

I always feel pity on people who are jumping up and down like grasshoppers and shouting that PF is out in 2016! As a powerful former monk from the ruins of UNZA with a powerful and high paying job which involves travelling through out the country, i have interacted with several people on the ground and most of them are very happy and comfortable with PF. I have been to Sikingo, Namushakendi, Jimbe, Zombe, kanyala, Makasa, Shimukunami, Nsokolo, Chimbola, Nabwalya, Nseluka…..and all the people are saying pabwato! Its only a few lazy and jobless idiets who are throwing tantrums at the hard working government!
Wake up you lazy chaps and start working hard instead of waiting for handouts! Pabwatoooooo!
