Former PF Director of Media and Publicity Brian Hapunda has dispelled as a concocted voice play back a phone conversation between him and Ephraim Shakafuswa of United Party for National Development (UPND) which has gone viral on social media.
Mr. Hapunda says he was in Lusaka at the time President Edgar Lungu was leaving the country for the UN General Assembly in New York.
He also notes he still enjoys a very good relationship with PF secretary General Davies Chama, State House Permanent Secretary Emmanuel Chilubanama and State House presidential Political Advisor Kaizer Zulu.
In a statement made available to Qfm news, Mr. Hapunda has expressed sadness that his name is being used by other people to fight the trio.
In a 9 minute detailed conversation between Hapunda and UPND Lusaka Province Youth League Co-coordinator Ephraim Shakafuswa, Hapunda can be heard briefing Shakafuswa on President Edgar Lungu’s Special Assistant for Political Affairs Kaizer Zulu, State House Permanent Secretary Emmanuel Chilubanama and PF Secretary General Davies Chama whom he claims were partly responsible for his firing.
And Patriotic Front Secretary General Davies Chama has told QFM news that the party will take action after an investigation is done and facts are established.
Mr. Chama says it is presently difficult to know who is telling the truth when one who is allegedly in a conversation.

You people that surround Edgar must learn from one Winter Kabwamba. He started fixing all close friends to Sata and portrayed himself as the only loyal angelic son. When his lights were turned off, not even the Mmembe lead cartel could save him from the dive into oblivion.
Naimwe, you’ve started throwing mud at each other and will continue fixing each other not knowing that you are just exposing your total stupidity and lack of capacity to be advisors, assistants or guardians of the Presidency!! Shame on you all. You are failing Lungu.

@Chembe Matola-its not Hapunda’s line only that is in danger & insecure,everyone’s line has been so since PF’s reign from 2011 when ZICTA was instructed by the Chief Tribalist then Sata tutored by Mugabe!This hacking of personal lines is a criminal offence & its an affront to freedom of expression let alone violation of human rights!I wonder why The Commission of Consumer Protection & other institutions of integrity & good governance are quiet when such criminal acts are being justified by the Security Wings & the “Commander in Chief itself”.This is an absurdity being justified by Zambians now in a Failed State!

New Educated Zambia©❤√
September 27, 2015 at 3:49 pm
jjb kiki nothing sexist mune. Just giving these chaps an analogy. This is an on going study in the western world where they will soon be introducing a law for women to take statutory leave during that time of the month. Edgy or irrational? same difference.. Most experience different types of pains and symptoms. Therefore this is why I said they become tempermental and unpredictable. It is proven medically and I advise all to read on this. Now if you choose to dwell on this and not what point i was bringing across we wont go anywhere because no apology is coming from me

magoye all women including your mother undergo changes in hormones during that period. There is nothing sinister or taboo about that topic. The problem with illiterates is that you choose to shun certain topics out of some perceived taboo and in the process end up making foolish deciisons. Let us learn to be open. It is not an insult to say a woman is on periods and is having mood swings.

hello haters all that was happening in the midst of this report:MOODY’S Investors Service has downgraded Zambia’s credit rating from stable to negative, putting it at B2, which is five steps below the investment grade.
The southern African nation, the second largest copper producer, is grappling with its worst-ever power shortage and metal prices that have fallen to six-year lows, prompting companies including Glencore Plc to halt operations.
The kwacha has fallen 41 per cent against the dollar this year, the worst performance among the world’s currencies.

Thanks for telling me your “successful life story”. However that does not mean that all Zambians have had the same opportunity and capital as you. You might have business acumen but that doesn’t mean that every zambian doesn’t that is the very reason why we have governments. They are meant to support the weak in society and provide enabling environment to the unfortunate which in zambias case is three quarters of the population. Please keep that in mind while you breed those animals
