Opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) says it is unthinkable for anyone to say that its leader Hakainde Hichilema did not have an official invitation to visit Paramount Chief Chitimukulu.
UPND deputy Spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa has told Qfm news that it is unfortunate that the aborted visit of Mr Hichilema to Paramount Chief Chitimukulu is being politicized.
Mr. Mweetwa stresses that the UPND president had an official invitation before he traveled to Northern Province last week adding that the right procedure was followed.
He adds that the visit of Mr. Hichilema is a normal way of paying courtesy to the traditional leader before doing any business in his chiefdom.
He says it is shocking that the ministry of home affairs responded on behalf of the Bemba speaking people that Mr. Hichilema did not have an official invitation to visit the Bemba Chief.

Sometimez it is better to be real. Hichilema and his UPN has been well known to the Zambnz people with there Tribe vice. Starting from the history during the funeral of the late Mazoka, mhsrip; these guyz has tought the zambian people how powerful, they can starnd as Tongaz; let us not forge so quick. UKASOMBOLA ICO WABYELE. Until you repent. Ababemba tefipuba.

@ichinshikululwa. I wonder by what and who you call tribal. You in the first place chose to be tribal by avoiding UPND as a party and whoever runs it. When a tonga speaks tonga he is tribal, when a bemba speaks bemba its okay. When a Bemba surports a Bemba president, its okay but when a TONGA surports a TONGA president its tribal. What kind of crazyness is that? Repent and pray that it goes after when you will realise that you the one tribal. REPENT and PRAY for the sake of ONE ZAMBIA.

I think it’s ok even if Bembas did the same. We are fed up of this nonsense!! Mazoka won the rigged 2001 elections without the support of the tribal Bembaland. Currently, bembas are the most isolated tribe in Zambia because of one man’s blatant disregard for equity in sharing the national cake. How do you build two Universities in one province when other provinces have none? Is it fair?

Why is it so difficult for bembas to welcome people from other tribes? Sata was welcomed by the lozis & they Voted for him.Can bembas vote for a lozi,Tonga or lenge?Previously they Voted for Sata who didn’t campaigned in their area than Mwanawasa who strongly campaigned with Chiluba. all this are tribal barriers.

i voted for mazoka just bcoz he was the right candidate and not bcoz he was Tonga or whatever! He never advocated tribal issue like it is today with HH!! Everytime its HH! Please find someone who is experienced in politics and give me any one else from the Tonga tribe other than HH! As far am presidents are concerned, they must have political back ground! HH has never been;
i.Councilor
ii.Mp
iii.Senator…since he thinks he is obama!
I can vote for tongaz like magande or milupi or any politically xperienced Tonga who is not just interested to go to state house!!
