CHIEF Government spokesperson Chishimba Kambwili has called on the people of Southern Province to redeem themselves from a tribal tag by allowing other political parties to conduct their campaigns in the region without being harassed ahead of the August 11 general elections.
Mr Kambwili said in Kitwe yesterday that Southern Province should not be restricted to people from one political party as every Zambian has a right to campaign freely in the area.
Mr Kambwili said Southern Province is a fraction of a bigger nation called Zambia and as such, every citizen is free to conduct political activities without being harassed.
Mr Kambwili, who is Information and Broadcasting Services Minister, was speaking during a Patriotic Front (PF) rally at Kitwe’s Mukuba Secondary School grounds.
He described the attacking of PF deputy spokesperson Frank Bwalya by suspected United Party for National Development (UPND) cadres in Monze on Friday as unacceptable.
He said Southern Province is not for only one political party.
“Southern Province is not for only one political party. The province is part of the whole Zambia, and as such, everyone should be free to visit the area,” Mr Kambwili said.
Mr Kambwili called on Zambians to scrutinise people vying for presidency as most of them did not mean well for this country.
He urged all well-meaning Zambians to rally behind the ruling PF government and vote for President Lungu and his team to enable them to continue delivering massive development countrywide.
Mr Kambwili urged people not to be swayed into changing Government by what he termed prophets of doom.
Copperbelt Minister Mwenya Musenge urged Zambians to vote for President Lungu because of his humility, hardwork and his visionary leadership.
PF Copperbelt party mobilisation chairperson Joel Malanji said Mr Lungu was the suitable person for the presidency as evidenced in the professional manner he handled the transition period after the death of President Sata.
He said President Lungu has also continued with the PF’s development agenda.

Campaign time has not yet come. Mr CK hold your fire. This man of God was bitten because of his language. He should learn to speak the truth. He is one of those misleading my President One Chagwa Lungu.
Was this picture taken before he became president? Lord have mercy! Kambwili you are free to hold a rally in any part of this country unless you scared of having your tribal demons exorcized, just learn to tame you tongue, by the i like that audio on market loans”, aya ama elections tuleyamo, kikiki mwaiche wandi chanda, teyakuya naufyononona. “
Even if I’m not a Kambwili fan if other political parties can’t campaign in the province we will conclude that Tonga are tribal
Just accept that it is not yet time for campaigns.
imwe mwe ba tonga twamupapata zambia is big you are just a fraction. muli no kumona ifyo imitudu shimbi shaba. viva ecl.
Zambia is annoyingly a nation of divisive political dimwits as mediocrity takes the cake! Seems politicians speak according to what favors them than the country at large! Its a pitiful that the country decided to try the PF experiment and nothing takes away KK’s counsel that Michael Sata is not presidential material as his musings were more of a sage and the escalating violence being harvested is what lay underneath! Remember KK used to refer to those causing confusion “Frightened little men” and those who were not there then would argue that this violence is not as a result of PF in government!
By attacking Frank, Tongas exposed how tribal and primitive they are, lets wait and see what gonna happen after August 11th…………………….kolopesha this time around
Frank Bwalya claims that he is Tonga from Monze, so where is tribalism there??
If you are beaten in a certain area,it does not mean that the people in the area are tribal… How about those who hack others in Lusaka? why are you not saying Lusaka is for everyone and everyone should be free to campaign.The PF is always chasing UPND in lusaka and you are quiet.Miles Sampa was attacked at the airport in Ndola,you were all quiet.PK sung a song called TOMBOLILO…Listen to it Kambwili…Some of the words are,”umwana wandi ngauma mumwana wabo, batilati mushinemo nobe,nomba umwana wabo ngauma mumwana wandi,ine nandeko abati kabili baiche, CHORUS… NIFIFINE NASHIKULWA NATOMBOLILO ” PLease teach your cadres.
PF IS NOT A PARTY OF CHOICE IN SOUTHERN PROVINCE. PF IS NOT A PARTY OF CHOICE IN ALL THE POTHER PROVINCES IN ZAMBIA. LUNGU HAS MESSED UP OUR COUNTRY. WE ARE BURYING PF ON AUGUST 11.
@kafumanchu, you are just a dull, stupid ,nkusa, shameless UPND cadre. Kambwili is spot on the conduct of southerners. S.province is for all zambians, not just for Bantustan, no. Your reference to Kaunda’ s words on Sata’ s leadership quality, Kaunda lied. Was it not the same Sata he used insult who came to deligate some duties to him, which no any past president did? If you have nothing sensible to say just keep quiet. It is because of your conduct that people can’t vote for your leader. You need to change your mind set.
LET THE POLICE TAKE CONTROL HH IS A BLOODY VAMPIRE CAGE HIM
Their is nothing you’re saying, you & kakambili are sick in mind.ok no Pf in Nw province tukamifyonona ba makaka.Zed fwd.
who can vote 4 mo lodsheding naiwe wen God is giving us more water. useless cadre in state house. if pf ll go on after august my pistol ll start working on pipo like chimbwili who always spik false and silly, fool.
pipo should not be scared to go anywhere in zambian unless you stepped on other pipo’s toes. kambwili for one should be scared for his foul utterances towards others. did he forget he needed to campaign in southern province? they ‘ll surely tame his foul mouth
Only a fool would ask for permission to visit any place in this country, by the way who is he trying to get permission from, let him just learn to tame his fat tongue.
Just the way thex comment can make u understand that,they are tribal.These pipo they never change from their addiction of being tribal,even in church,they are like that ma niggaz,ask other tribes from these churches,they be able to….
Kambwili is being tribal. He wants people to raise against UPND. The only message he has is tribalism! Sampa was harassed on CB, HH was attacked at one radio station on the CB but were all people on the CB labeled as tribal! This idi0t is very childish! Come up with meaningful campaign message not that outdated rhetoric!
Kambwili litole. Ask me why I say this and I will explain
@ cooned..who told u that naiwe…that pf is not a preffered party naiwe boi get your facts right…the problem with a mind if u constantly tell a lie the more u begin to believe the exact lie u created. ..now if u said so pf is not a prefered party in southern province i might believe u..might..because i know even in southern province we have people with common sense..but if you mention the rest of the country..my conclusion is that u have reached the level of insanity ..defination of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. some how u have convinced yourself hh will win..same way u convinced yourself last time and the other time and the other time..now to my understanding last elections we had a vote apathy…turn out of people were very few…but not in southern province..remember ka? secondly only the people with old voters cards were allowed to vote..u do remember right..now the low turn out of peopl saw hh close to pf…hh did not gain popularity but mainted his southern votes..that alone was a wake up call to the whole zambia..thats why we have a full pact new voters this year..they realised they almost lost zambia..now why did zambia have a low turn out..after the death of sata aka king conbra…we had vipers who wanted the seat even wen ba sata left the seat for edgar..they refused to recognise him..more than 5 people were aspiring to b zambias president…mwamba inclusive..and guy scot fought tooth and nail to vanish edgar..but as NIZEE said earlier MATHEW 5:5..and now pf is solid and working how on earth do u plan to remove it..by gbm sending his panga trained crew..guys really who takes a knife to a gun fight…this year i assure u….. PATRIOTIC FRONT
All I can see is an empty Jameson bottle and a white muscle mouth ape
@ Michael what kind of glasses r u using to look at edgar..im sure if i could use those very glasses at HH i would see a thief who sold our mines
…a tribalist and a satanist…if i would choose the least problem of HH..lets say i choose between a tribalist and a drunk i would choose a drunkerd anytime or day
Y the rush ECZ has not yet said start campaigns ? Oh sorry u are crying bcoz there’s no new project to commission in SP. Oweh mwamonekela bataata…..
Bt on a serious note stop being tribal ba CK .
Last time the nalumangos were chased in luampula provinces , omost beaten…how come that province has never been tamed tribal. Whats with u people and southern province? And keep hh out of ur mouths,pantu umwine tafishibe…regardless of what u say aleisa aleisa hh…get used to it. It’s not about tribe any more bane….ifintu nafibipa and we are moving forward!!
Other political parties like PF,FDD,MMD etc must also tell their cadres not to allow upnd to campaign in their strongholds so that hh’s evil way of doing politics can be exposed!!HH HAS DIVIDED OUR COUNTRY AS HE HAS BEEN CAMPAIGNING ON TRIBAL LINES IN HIS SOUTHERN SINCE 2006!!HOW I WISH WE NONE TONGA CAN ALSO UNITE AND DEFEAT TRIBAL HH ON 11/08/2016 SO THAT HE CAN RETIRE FROM LOCAL POLITICS.WE MUST ONLY START VOTING FOR UPND AFTER HH IS REPLACED!!IF ANYBODY DOUBTS THAT TRIBALISM EXIST IN OUR POLITICS,THEN LET THAT PERSON VISIT SOUTHERN AND SHOW PF OR FDD OR MMD PARTY SYMBOL THEN U’LL SEE HOW YOU’LL BE INSULTED OR WORSE STILL BEATEN UP BY THESE TONGAS WHO SEE HH AS their god!!!PLEASE ZAMBIANS-NEVER VOTE FOR TRIBAL HH SO THAT TRIBALISM CAN BE DEFEATED IN ZAMBIA!!”IFINTU NI LUNGU-2016″!!!
Tafibipile pantu kwashalafye 4 months ninshi twayamba ukulanda ati kwali upnd part yabatonga iyaikele imyaka imitapendwa ukwabula ukutekapo twasuka twashiika. Viva ECL and forever PF.
Am just imagining how on earth can upnd loose their veep who knew hh for what he was .I whod rather get witness from kapita who new him inside out than you fan bloggers such as Nez .
what surprises me is, Zambia we have 72+tribes but why only bembas and tongas mwebantu.!
This idiot called Kambwili who does he want to cheat. We did not see the injuries the idiot Father Bwalya got after being beaten. God works in different ways maybe this time around God wanted Father Bwalya to feel how innocent people feel when PF unleashes their cadres on them.
The truth is upnd is a party that specialises with insults. Am sure there are sensible people who can advise this chaps tht the insult u make on this website sends aware genuine people who are potential voters from the party
Upnd have become violent bc of pf pangas so they revenge in their stronghold
Viva Ecl 11 Agust.
Atonga.difficult blood on tribalism
The only tribal dog here is this dull fool called kambwili. You cannot campaign in southern not because they won’t let you but because the southerners are clever people who cannot be fooled by idiots like yourself. Hence if you go there you will be booed like lungu was in livingstone.you have the manpower and police on your side so how can you claim that common citizens won’t let you campaign. Kambwili for your information you are not very popular in pf following thr leaking of that recordingm so rather than trying to show loyalty by being tribal start preparing for life after politics. We chipuba we
Ba jo breaker or what ever you ko your self by the way where do you stay?if you stay in zambia where m/meal is expensive,queing for fuel,univesities are closed,medical care very expensive,masive and abnormal loadsheding,miners have lost jobs here in CB.The list is endless.Where you live in hell or space you mean you dnt read abt zambia being a MALABO dumpsite.Wait for few months from today thats when you wil see real vote apathy in what you think is yo stronghold and by the way where is Pf stronghold???.
anyone is free to move anywhere,anytime as long as one has not injured anyone,anywhere physically,verbaly,socially etc
1. If Tongas are tribal for beating father Bwalya then Bembas are even more tribal for attacking HH and other UPND members several times in Mpika, Kasama and Chinsali. Recall HH running to Kasama police station for protection, Nalumango and Maurine being attacked on landing and running for their lives etc. The government spokesman Hon. Kambwili was VERY QUIET. He is only repeating his tribal statements. But why do we not hear of MMD President or FDD presidents being attacked in the same Southern province? These 2 are both bemba. President Lungu is not bemba even.
Why are we not hearing of FDD or MMD presidents being attacked in Southern province?
Both presidents Nawakwi and Mumba are bemba speaking Northerners. Hon Kambwili should ask himself such a question.
As for Frank Bwalya the man is so careless with his tongue. The man has completely forgotten the teachings of the bible. One wonders what he used to say during the homily.
@eddy
Tribalism became a real issue in 2011 when PF came to power and it has been watered and fertilizer by those in power.
MMD and FDD leaders cannot be compared to tribal PF. Have you heard a report of MMD and FDD presidents Mumba and Nawakwi being attacked in Southern province?
You Eddy would be beaten to pulp anywhere if people knew your real identify. The police would be very happy to usher you into cells for the security of the nation. You are worse than father frank Bwalya in your postings. So forget about recruiting FDD and MMD leaders in your evil campaign for strife in Zambia. Keep your identity hidden for your safety. That goes for kudos.
I would have to be lunatic to walk in Mapatizya and announce that I am kakolwe. What with the hate I have been assured of by ALL hakaindeans!!!
Our out going president always looks drunk bali bunwa sana ubwalwa I’m sure those very close to him complain of ichena chabwalwa pamubili anyway ba HH does not drink and drive we will be very safe after 11th august
Kabwili looks like a chief chef in his west-African styles of dressing ;
@ kindo…but we already got used to the song.aleisa aleisa…we too sing it…especially to our kids if they are being naughty…simply say hakainde aleisa….and one day the story will b written im the books just like mulenga and jelita…in our we have heroes and vigilanties..in the usa heroe barak obama enemy alkaidas..nigeria boko haram…zambia HAKAINDE HICHILEMA…even the name sounds boko haramish.. boko hakiainde haram hichilema…non the less…we too in zambia have found our very own boogy man…and we shall never forget…u last posted that let our voters cards and nrc do the talking and kido i 100% agree
KAMBWILI SHOULD ALSO LET NATHAN CHANDA STAND AS MP IN ROAN CONSTITUENCY SO THAT HE CONCENTRATES IN HIS MWAMONA INVESTMENT COMPANY WHICH IS HIRED BY FRA.
More rubbish from Kambwili. Every time This man talks his language is hate speech against southerners. And if he made the effort to find out he would have known that the one that beat Frank Bwalya was not even Tonga but an Easterner.
YES, A BOY CALLED SAKALA FROM EASTERN PROVINCE BEAT UP FRANK BWALYA.
Feel free bro . What a u afraid of ? One zambia One nation. One leader and that leader fyakale !
Unless you are a thief then obviously your fellow thieves will sort out as it goes set a thief to catch a thief . Oftentimes southern province is cool boy .
