Quit, Hapunda Tells Lubinda ‘Go Back to UPND If You Cannot Remain Fully Loyal to PF’
SOUTHERN Province PF secretary Brian Hapunda has asked Given Lubinda to go back to UPND if he cannot remain fully loyal to PF.
And Lubinda, who is the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Kabwata PF member of parliament, says it is not the first time allegations of treachery against the party concerning him have been raised.
Hapunda said members with divided loyalty must not be tolerated in the party.
“We challenge him to denounce his loyalty to the party where he served previously. If he is failing to do that, then let them get back,” Hapunda said.
“It’s also a warning to the party to be careful with those who are joining from other political parties.
We must scrutinise all the people joining us so that we do not have double loyalty. For example, some have still maintained loyalty to their former party and are not fit to be called PF,” he said.
Hapunda said the onus was on Lubinda to show cause why he should not be expelled from the party.
“The first step has been taken. That is from the office of the secretary general and the onus is on the accused to show cause why action must not be taken against him and this is a lesson to others that there is no sacrificial lamb and sacred cow in the PF,” he said.
Hapunda said that members must always be reminded that the rules and procedures of the party just like those of any club or organisation, must be adhered to.
“Members must show loyalty to the party and must not be seen to be exhibiting double loyalty. This will also be a warning to other members who have become informers of the opposition UPND, MMD and other journalists who are fighting against our cause,” he said.
Hapunda further recommended that all those suspected of being moles in the party also be allowed to exculpate themselves by issuing them with disciplinary letters.
And in an interview yesterday from Equatorial Guinea, Lubinda, who said was representing President Michael Sata at the ACP (African Caribbean Pacific countries) summit for heads of state, said people were free to say what they wanted over him.
The PF has accused Lubinda of working with UPND and MMD against the government.
He has been given a seven-day ultimatum to explain his alleged disloyalty to the PF.
Asked to comment on the contents of the letter which had clearly outlined the allegations levelled against him by some members of the party through the secretary general, Wynter Kabimba, Lubinda said he was going to treat all media reports concerning the matter as hearsay.
“I am not in a hurry. People can say what they want for as long as they don’t associate with me. Zambians appreciate that I have been through this gossip and hearsay about me before,” Lubinda said.
“Even when I saw the letter, my first reaction was let me see the letter because even if I asked someone to read the letter to me, I am sure they will try to emphasise certain points or distort its contents.”
Lubinda said that the issues raised in the letter were between him and Kabimba and that he would not abuse anyone by making them the conveyor of his response.
“I don’t want to react to the press because I don’t know if what has been carried is accurate…but to the author of the message. I will respond to the author of the letter and the people that he copied the letter to. The secretary general was writing to me. I don’t believe he was writing to Zambia. The matter is between me and him,” Lubinda said.
“As you know, this man is very methodical. I like to follow procedure. It is my letter and I will treat it as such.”

The truth will remain. Kabimba is showing lack of leadership skills. Let us wait and see. I know Given to be a straight person as far as PF leadership is concerned. He is better placed in terms of following the PF manifesto than Kabimba. I even think Given is more royal because Kabimba seems to be destroying than building.

Considering the issues raised by KEN above, this Hapunda should not even hold a position at branch level – he lacks credibility and gives PF a very bad image.

I follow politics so well, it was said that senior party members like Ministers should not be paraded in the media or embarrassed correctly put by the president that anything about them should be informed. Did winter and other junior leaders consult the president. Hapunda just be quiet alot will come out about, we now know that you used leakage and chased at UNZA, SHAME.Given is a good leader better that Kabimba truly speaking. Mr.President kindly control the in-house fighting among the ministers in our party.Winter will destroy the party if we allow him act in this manner, it was first GBM, now he has followed Given…….Nichani kansi

Given’s intellectuality threatens the Lumpens. It baffles the mind to think that Wynter is a lawyer yet lacks the scientific approach. And this moron Hapunda. When a person is accused of something, the accuser must give a reason as to why they suspect the accused of wrong doing. You can not just allege that someone has leaked information without telling what information and whether the recipient of such information corroborates your story. What kind of legal system is this guilty until proven innocent, where the accuser does not have to present the grounds on which his allegations are based… Its not enough to say, “people say you are a thief, so exculpate yourself or face punishment.” That is bullshit!

Hapunda just shut your beak you little boy and respect elders like Hon Lubinda.
You are a bootlicker, we all know that. What loyalty can this boy talk about?
Not long ago he was licking upnd, now pf. Brian, if you have nothing to talk about better close your mouth shut.
Brian talk about load shedding, mealie meal, fuel and cement shortages rather than yapping on top of a tiny roof. This boy is a problem, what happened at UNZA ba guy?

If this is true about Given Lubinda, i will be very very disappointed coz he has always been my man. My advise to all PF members is that please keep your internal problems by solving them within the party other than coming to the media. The more you get exposed to the media will make people lose confidence in PF. We get nothing by denouncing each other in the public. Mr Lubinda please please, if you are doing this stop and let us be firm the way we used to be when we were in opposition. This time to deliver people’s expectations than wasting time fighting each other. You (PF) will not get praises thru denouncing each other but by what you deliver to the people of Zambia. Why these fights now when you were so firm in the opposition.Please change becoz people are still expectant.

KK & Mugabe are running Zambia by default, destroying Zambia for GOOD. Mugabe hates anybody with any trace of ba mwisa.
Mugabe instructed SATA to get rid of Guy Scott as V/President.
Now it is Lubinda. wait for the game to get tough. Mugabes portrait will be displayed in each Govt building soon.

Brian Hapunda is more UPND than PF. Watch him carefully he could be a mole for UPND. By issuing such statements of false loyalty he is merely deflecting the suspicion of loyal PF members. Kabwata for Given!!!

Wynter should jst start behaving like a grown man,we know people that sacrificed for the PF while in opposition,ie Guy,Wilie Nsanda,GBM etc Wynter is was nowhere,that is why he is behaving like a wife who has never been to school,wants to please by insulting people around,shame!
