PF Adopts New Slogan: From ‘Dont Kubeba’ to ‘SELENI TUBOMBEKO’
The Patriotic Front (PF) supporters are never short of the right slogans when it comes to the mood of the country at any given time. The famous “Donchi Kubeba”, which means “don’t tell them”, was born out of the general tendency by then ruling MMD to distribute money and other gifts to voters in exchange for votes.
The slogan was simply used to advise the electorate that even if they were given such gifts, they needed to still vote against MMD, after all, the vote is secret. It’s like saying: “get the gifts, but don’t tell them you will vote against them”.
The “don’t kubeba” slogan spread like wildfires across the country and helped catapult the PF into a national movement that eventually unseated the MMD after 20 years in power.
The PF recently grabbed its first ever seat in North Western Province after resoundingly beating the MMD-UPND alliance. That victory saw the birth of yet another catch phrase: “Seleni tubombeko”, which, when translated in English, means “stay out of our way, so we can do some work”. This slogan is inspired by the view that some opposition parties in Zambia are playing a disruptive role in their work against the PF government. The PF supporters are therefore advising the opposition to ‘make room’ for the PF government to exercise their mandate properly without standing in their way.
The slogan is also a reminder to the opposition who, prior to the Mufumbwe election, were claiming that PF had lost popularity and tempted the ruling party into the bye-election by expelling the area Member of Parliament. After PF’s convincing victory, the ruling party’s supporters feel that since the opposition has proved beyond any reasonable doubt that the PF remains the most popular party which has continued to grow, it’s time to respect the people’s choice and allow the ruling party some time and space to implement their programmes and policies.
As timely as PF slogans usually are, according to PF claims, it’s indeed time for the opposition to be told: SELENI TUBOMBEKO!!!

Actually it is “seleni tulyeko” or better still “seleni twibeko”. It is time for these natolafye plunderers to perfect their act.
