Kabimba Says Mike Mulongoti Will Have To Wait For 50 Years Before He Can Become President Of Zambia’
WYNTER Kabimba says Mike Mulongoti will have to wait for 50 years before he can become president of Zambia.

“Fifty years is the minimum because PF is here to stay. It will not be dislodged (in 2016) by a political party that has not yet been registered. Kulibe!” he said.
Kabimba observed that Mulongoti had been vacillating, like one who was jumping up and down to look for where the big cake was since the coming in of the PF.
“We campaigned together under PF and I remember him saying to me ‘for me this is not about getting a job. We have a cause to get rid of the MMD’. But also it was very clear to me that he was very bitter about being hounded out of the MMD,” he recounted.
“It turns out now that he has been looking for recognition and because he has not been rendered that recognition, he is sulking.”
Kabimba said the party however believed that Mulongoti’s support for the PF was on a matter of principle and thereby interacting with him in good faith.
“Now I saw him vacillating between going back to MMD or continuing rendering support to PF after elections. He’s been walking that tightrope until today when I read this article that now he wants to become president,” he said.
“Now I have problems with people that think the only role they can play in the service of the Zambian people is to become president because I believe it is the people that must say that ‘we think you are fit to lead us’.”
And Kabimba accused Mulongoti of projecting the argument that PF had not done much and according to the expectations of many, simply to gain political mileage.
He wondered what Mulongoti had to show for his long service in both government and MMD.
“He has nothing to show. You cannot make a judgement when you yourself have a record that shows nothing,” he said.
Kabimba dismissed claims by Mulongoti that he was Levy Mwanawasa and Rupiah Banda’s king maker, saying that the opposite was true.
“Mwanawasa nominated Mulongoti when he came in power because he was from the Lambaland and probably suffering. It was the same with Rupiah. He nominated Mulongoti. So who supported who?” he asked.
He said PF was instead cleaning the mess left by the MMD, a party Mulongoti served in.
He said he appreciated the fact that Mulongoti would have been useful to MMD, but he said it was unfortunate that he was not part of the team that President Michael Sata had picked to work with, a decision that was the President’s prerogative.
“When these people were in MMD, we did not go to him and seek recognition, even when there were better people in the MMD,” he said.
He said being in a political party should not be perceived as a debt to its leader, as was his case.
“I think it is high time Zambians started making correct judgements about some of the leaders in this country. My advice to him is there is no need to sulk,” said Kabimba.

Mulongoti might be sulking or hurting and we appreciate the fact that he will never be president of Zambia. However, this doesn’t mean PF can’t be dislodged in 2016. Who leads Zambia after 2016 is the people’s prerogative. Kabimba and the PF should instead concetrate on scoring success in their governance.

If it were possible for someone to come out of ones body and see oneself as others see you Mulongoti cannot even vote for himself. He lacks charisma including his lack of fluency in English as one blogger has pointed out. Charisma is a special ability to attract or influence people by your personality. Zambia has had its fair share of charismatic leaders such as Kapwepwe and Mulongoti is not one of them. Kapwepwe could sway a crowd even calling it “batubulu” and it would applaud him. The people in power at the time were so fearful of him they never gave him a chance to stand against them. He was beaten up,imprisoned and was barred from campaigning but he still managed to win a parliamentary seat in Mufulira West Constituency. It is a pity Mulongoti was not allowed to stand as VP of MMD. He would have assessed his popularity or the lack of it by now.

for me both are in the same shoes none of them will be President. both are not Presidential material as i believe will be more cautious of the leaders will choose in 2016. as a country we are learning it hasn’t been easy but i congratulate SATA for showing us a BAD example of a president. Kabimba’s dealings and health leaves much to be desired.

But Kwena! Given the current crop of leadership! Katwishi. If MCS is not standing in 2016, let him groom someone sellable. Of all the politicians availabe, to me its only Magande and Miyanda who hold out a candle. Ba Nevers, Hakainde, Milupi, Chipimo, Nawakwi, NabaMulongoti futi?. What are you putting on the workplan towards 2016? You are yet to sale yourselves other than following bakateka pamata…. sorry, panuma! in everything he says. You are playing into his hands. WISE UP! Otherwise, NO RISE!
