Low Crowds Displease Hakainde Hichilema
Dear Editor,
UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema was less than impressed with the below par attendance of the local people at his party’s rally in Mandevu Constituency in Lusaka, but still went ahead to assure the crowd that the UPND will reverse the PF government’s decision to remove subsidies on fuel and maize meal for consumption.
In a speech filled with classic Zambian political rhetoric, Hichilema accused the PF of having failed to do this and that, and having done this and that wrong.
“PF has failed to create full time pensionable jobs but are only creating piecework,” the UPND leader told a crowd consisting mostly of non-Mandevu residents, who were ferried from places as far as Bweengwa in Southern Province.
Sources allege after the rally, Hichilema lamented to his colleagues at the indifference shown by the people of Mandevu, a constituency with nearly 150,000 registered voters.
The UPND chose to stage the rally in Mandevu particularly because it is seen as the centre of discontent against the PF government due to the non performance of the ruling party’s area Member of Parliament, Jean Kapata, whose chances of retaining the seat in 2016 are in serious doubt.

Tell them.Sata had 10 torrid years sleeping in the bush together with Dr Scot for them to succeed. Displacing MMD which had deep rooted itself was not an easy undertaking. He wants to create his chances in Mandevu, God forbid that is not Monze.

That was in Mandevu,but Hakainde should expect such scenarios every where he will conduct his so called rallies because pipo are seeing developments every where.

Pama Fi (PF) is disintegrating and you are their in your little cocoon thinking Pama Fi will rule us beyong 2016. You will be in for a rude shock. PF have failed to govern, there is total confusion in the country. PF fighting among themselves, strikes all over the country, miners complaining, etc. You will see continue living in denial. I thought PF learnt from MMD. UBUFI BUBI. PF has just splashed it’s own shit on its face. Shame.

For Sata it was evident that one day he will rule this great nation. But for this Hakainde of yours we do not see any sign of some sort. Sata was supposed to be president way back in 2006 had it not been swindled by the autocratic regime of MMD.

HH will rule Zambia, after all he is still young. That dinasaur at state house was in opposition when he was 65 yrs old, and yet he made it to state house. What about the young and vibrant HH? HH will rule Zambia.
Isaac
October 8, 2013 at 10:15 am
Do not be blinded by age or generational gap. According to their constitution that is UP-END,Hakainde’s tenure expires in 2016 before pipo even cast their votes.He might be young quite right but that is not an automatic passport to presidency. Stop cogitating like a grade 7 chap.

October 8, 2013 at 9:45 am
Clearly both this so called observer and Tumfweko are sponsored by PF. Anyway what does one expect from a publication with the name “Tumfweko”.
On the whole, if Zambia is to make strides in development we need a young, educated and progressive person for president. The 21st Century is not time to have a fossil in State House.

It is very possible that come 2016 PF can loss this constituency because of the under performing MP. to be honest, their is nothing Jean KAPATA is doing in this constituency. she is just enjoying her ministerial position forgetting how she ascended to that position.

The one who has never been anything before not even being a ward Councillor. Can that one run the country? The man who drove a disastrous privatization in the history of this country. A liquidator he amassed worth to himself leaving many in total abject poverty and many were sent to their early graves because of him.Never allow such a person with shambolic type of records to rule this great nation.

Pama Fi (PF) is in shit. First of all people of Zambia are not happy because of the dis-unity in the PF (which is affecting the governance of the country), civil servants strikes, councils strike, Bashi Lubemba impasse, Barotseland uprising, collapsing economy that is now surviving on borrowing, rising cost of living and many others. Plus the health of that dinosaur at state house.
So lets not attack HH as a person, but look at the policies and the message. Every tribe in Zambia can rule, and its not appointed that only one or two tribes are to rule Zambia. Uku itemwa mwe fi bantu.

Considering HH’s back ground and his past performance, he has more work to do than Micheal Chilufya Sata had when he was in the opposition. It is a different ball game for HH who has never held a government position to be trusted by ordinary Zambians (majority of voters).
Secondly, he also has to adjust his stance and speak politics. He has to state the failures of PF and give alternative solutions, currently this is missing.
Further, HH should learn that criticising everything the Pf government does takes away from him as all his criticism is frowned at by most people. This also led to the ruling party in the past (MMD) and currently PF referring to him as being bitter.
There is need for HH to surround himself with strategists to help him rise to the challenge.
As for me as an intellectual, I believe he would perform given a chance.

It has even taken them 48 hours to come up with a false story for they did not know how to twist the truth. You will soon bury yourselves. Come to the reality guys…….
