The Zambian Watchdog, funded by UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema has continued fabricating stories to discredit President Michael Sata and the PF government, and even when their stories have been proved false, they have failed to retract or apologise.
Below is a few of the false stories that were reported by the Zambian Watchdog, which turned out to be malicious and false:
FALSE STORY: MMD MP Keith Mukata quits as deputy minister from PF government
July 11, 2012 | Filed under: News | Posted by: Mwansa
Commerce Deputy Minister Keith Mukata has resigned his position from the PF government in protest against the ‘street’ way government is being run.
Information reaching the Watchdog show that Mukata tendered in his resignation today or will do so Thursday morning.
Mukata is in disagreement with the happenings in the way things are run by Sata’s government.
Mukata, who is also Chilanga MMD MP who joined the PF govt plans to apologise to the former ruling party.
TRUTH: KEITH MUKATA IS STILL DEPUTY MINISTER OF COMMERCE. HE VOWED NOT TO QUIT AS HE SAW NOTHING WRONG WITH SERVING IN GOVERNMENT. ON THE 19TH OF JULY, MUKATA, WHO IS CHILANGA MMD MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT TOLD THE POST:
“THE LAW IS ON OUR SIDE, THE PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA WHO ELECTED US, ARE ON OUR SIDE, THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH US SERVING IN GOVERNMENT.”

FALSE STORY: Sata to appoint GBM vice-president
August 8, 2012 | Filed under: Exclusives | Posted by: Mwansa
President Michael Sata will soon appoint Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba as Vice president, the Watchdog has been told.
Mwamba is the current minister of defence and is a nephew to President Michael Sata.
According to information given, Guy Scott will be demoted to be the minister of Finance.
Current Finance minister Alexander Chikwanda, the Watchdog has learnt, has asked Sata to send him into the diplomatic service.
Chikwanda has whispered to close allies that he is not happy with the rampant corruption at the ministry of Finance and in the PF government generally. So wants to take up a lesser prominent position as resigning from the family government will send wrong signals.

TRUTH: ALEXANDER CHIKWANDA LAUGHED OFF THESE SUGGESTIONS. GBM WAS NOT APPOINTED VICE PRESIDENT!
FALSE STORY: Demoted Luo goes on indefinite leave, may resign
August 1, 2012 | Filed under: More News | Posted by: Kabwe
Demoted Chiefs and Traditional Affairs Minister, Prof. Nkandu Luo, has reportedly gone on an indefinite leave from her job.
Sources in PF government told the Watchdog that Prof. Luo may actually be the first minister to resign from her job due to frustrations on many issues. Read more lies on http://www.zambianwatchdog.com/2012/08/01/demoted-luo-goes-on-indefinite-leave-may-resign/
TRUTH: PROFESSOR NKANDU WENT ON LEAVE FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF HER MOTHER
Other lies from the Zambian Watchdog include a false story that alleged that President Sata was in hospital in India at the time the Head of State was in London last month, and the recent cooked up story alleging that deported Catholic Priest Fr Viateur Banyangandora had denounced President Sata [ click here] http://www.zambianwatchdog.com/2012/08/15/deported-fr-banyangandora-says-dictator-sata-will-lose-next-elections/
The priest has since denied calling President Sata a dictator and denounce as lies the fabricated reports by the Zambian Watchdog: see herehttp://www.daily-mail.co.zm/?p=11566

@ALL
Guyz let’s not demonise ba Tumfweko. They are just trying to do their best. Just as someone said, the news is up for anyone to take or leave it these days. Listen to the news on these so called giants like CNN, BBC and so on, you will notice that they too are biased in some way. That’s why to some extent I like Aljazeera and Press TV.

tumfweko,tumfweko! be serious with wat u scribe. a timely publication of a ill intended act prevents it from happening-i wish u knew this living fact.the zwd has actually prevented the occurence of evil by exposing it on time.people think twice or even more before u waffle.is this tumfweko providing any checkk and balances apart from social gossip?

How many of the stories published on ZWD have been proved true? Is the more than 100% salary increment of the president also a lie?

I agree entirely with ba Tumfweko.Its just too much of Watchdog publishing false stories which they cant prove when challenged to do so.However their impact is non existent except with the bantustans only.

Why have you started attacking Zambian Watchdog on selective stories?
1. Is it because of the 67.5% and 100% ?
2. Is it K50, 000,000=00 salary structure?
3. Is it police brutality?
4. Is it minimum wage crisis or nepotism?
Explain more guys because Post, Times, Daily Mail, ZNBC, The Herald (Zimbabwe) etc are all liars except BBC, eNEWS, CNN

The unrivaled fact is Tumfwenko is by far better than the ZWD. ZWD thinks they promote HH by what they write. As a matter of fact they are destroying him through their lies, intolerance of divergent views and hatred. Tumfweko will atleast publish your views even if your views are different from theirs which is not the case with the despicable ZWD

BATUMFWEKO GROW UP AND REPORT ON OTHER ISUES.IF YOUR JOURNALISTS HAVE FAILED TO FIND NEWS LET THEM QUIT, WATCHDOG IS JUST OK SO FAR AND WHO HAS REPORTED ABOUT YOU FOR FAILING TO FIND NEWS?
YOU ARE JUST MAKING HH POPULAR AND WHO TOLD YOU THAT THE WATCHDOG IS SPONSORED BY HH? U PF CADRES!!

What about your story on HH’s girlfriend at E. Hone? Has it been substantiated? I’m not in anyway defending ZWD but this site is 100 times worse and should be the last to criticize others, you’re all just a bunch of quacks.

Tumfweko, can we also dig into your archives and expose your lies? Unfortunately this would take several days to do, so I’ll leave it at that.

Pipo chaps supporting ZED imbwa need careful examination. Is was one of them who used to comment on their stories on the opposite. Wat they did was to block my IPs for the ICTs that i was using. Nowadays the comments that u find on the ZED IMBWA site may at first site indicate that many pipo are against the govt, but that may not be true bcoz all opposing views have there IP adresses blocked.

dear Tumfweko…
your stories half the time are also full of lies and simply based on speculation.
pull the log out of your eye first.Start publishing hard core facts and proper analysis of what is happening in the country and globe at large.Lets see you do that and we will give you a thumbs up.But if all you do is try to make watch dog look bad wilst u pull the same s*&%,inkona wena thats some back door cowardly stunt!
