HH Escalates Tribalism Cause, says ‘Bembas Have Failed The People Of Zambia, Tongas Should Take Over’
UPND president Hakainde Hichilema dancing after filing his nomination papers at the Supreme Court in Lusaka on august 8,2011
A close confidant says “The UPND strongman is of the view that Bembas reign over the affairs of the county is fast approaching and it will not be long before a Tonga goes to Nkwazi House(State House). He is bent on seeing himself in that office.”
Hichilemas tribal campaign is being fostered, backed by the likes of Douglas Siakalima and Raphael Muyanda who are hardcore tribalists.
And what Hakainde and his tribal colleagues do not know is that Zambia has never been ruled by a Bemba. It is common knowledge that Presidents Kenneth Kaunda (Tumbuka), Rupiah Banda (Chewa/Ngoni), Levy Mwanawasa (Lenje/Lamba), Michael Sata (Bisa) and Fredrick Chiluba are all from different ethnic groups.
A number of Tongas within UPND do not however agree with him and this is why a number of his MPs disagree with him such as Sinazongwe Parliamentarian Richwell Siamunene.
This escalation campaign of tribalism in Hakainde has saddened even some NGOs pushing to oust the ruling PF government that they are chances of having a divided Zambia if such a character ascended to the highest office of the land.

HH, may be intelligent but his dids are not.A good leader will not waist time to discuss tribes, but to discuss development. The best is to let him show us the interllect of trying to bring all people, regardless the colour, together and discuss brillianat ideas otherwise he is heading nowhere

An intelligent person will condemn or make a comment on a sound arguement i.e. he is sure that the premises are fact and that the arguement has logical strength. This Bwinjimfumu statement has neither, therefore it is simply hogwash.

This reporting is coming from foolish inferior bush reporter. This kind of reporting will not do you any good but just learn to draw a clean line.
Your tribal report just dents you as you even call yourselves. Learn to be level headed in your report so that you can gain popularity unlike this dirty reporting.

In UPND a non Tonga can not expect to get a senior postion ather than through appointment only.For example the positions held by naïve Dr Canisius Banda and blind follower Mutale Nalumango.In fact this goes to confirm what Sejani said that UPnD can not be lead by a non Tonga

The only problem I see with Tonga’s is that, they hate Bemba’s too much. How can an aspiring head of state issue such tribal sentiments. If UPND is to succeed, let them call for a convention to elect a new party President.

Zambia is one unitary state which can be ruled by anyone. Issues of tribe should not be matters of any significance but the ideas one holds. HH should desist from talking about tribe but he has every right to talk about the way PF is governing this country and simply offer an alternative developmental agenda which he should sell to the Zambian people.
The economic performance and human rights record under PF is not impressive and these are matters HH should seriously engage the people of Zambia and offer better alternatives.

the problem is the chap cannot talk alternative but tribal issues. leaves us with no alternative but ditch UP and ND party which will definitely not rule under him or any other Tonga. First put a bemba as leader to fade away the tonga/bemba rivalry

HH has lost it bembas are about 43% of this country’s tribes.Hence if you want to antagonise us you can never go to state house.I wanted to vote for HH but with Such statements coming from him,i will vote for pf and Sata in 2016.Not a tonga tribalist.

Go ahead mwana and vote foer your own. Your sick friend TUMFWEKO is shooting himself in the leg firstly, by fabricating shit stories about HH showing hatred for Bembas, and then going on to say Sata is not Bemba but Bisa. In that statement attributed to HH, do your sick eyes see any statement saying ‘Sata is Bemba and tribal’? If anything, Sata should not even come into the picture because he is Bisa and not Bemba. But because Tumfweko and you both think in one local tribe, your friend can dream up a story about HH and you can bring in you vile statistics……Birds of the same feathers…

What does your 43% signify, eligible voters?
Looks like you have no idea what your 43% stands for, think in the lines of eligibility to vote not just a figures, moreover not all bembas vote so for certain reasons like religion, so if you do your math and work out subtractions, you will find that you are just a fraction of 43%.
I hope this makes sense to you and others busy boasting about 43%.
I am one of the 43% but not all of this figure (if all are eligible to vote) will make it by the time elections will be called, lets be realistic.

These hard core tribalists chaps in upnd have contributed immenly to the dwindling fortunes of the upnd.If anyone wants to know ask and you will be told that 43% of zambian’s population are bembas. Therefore if you hate us you will never go to state house,am challenging anyone who supports this HH a tribalist am saying upnd will not win in 2016.I can bet.

Actually, it is not this mental disarrogate called HH, who maybe qualified as a case of schizophrenia to blame but the journalists.The publicity being accorded to this man makes him think that whatever he says does make sense. Already he and his followers have turned the national parliament into a place of indiscipline,insuilts and arnachism.To save our country, we need capable President whois able to appoint a an independent (not affiliated to any political party) disciplinary institute to scrutinize all potential parliamentary candidates before they are allowed to stand for elections.The present leadership must look seriously into this potential explosive situation instead of spending thier time in appointing thier relatives and friends into important diplomatic and government posts.

This is bad weather true article or not. If its true then its bad for HH but if not then its bad for Zambia and the writer should be arrested. However, HH is educated to have a better history of Zambia and he is careful as he knows how detrimental such talks can be. Please tell us where he said it from.

The ascendance to the UPND presidency was thru tribe hence all this mud been thrown at HH. I think HH should call for a convention to elect UPND leaders and the convention should NOT be held in Monze but Lusaka or Copperbelt.
HH should at all costs avoid mentioning the tribe of a person.
Tongas are NOT tribal i have a lot of friends from Southern province who are very good and intelligent

Sad how people can just create stories out of hatred. Tribalist has clearly stated that he just hates HH. The devil falsely accuses God’s children daily not because they do those things but because he hates them. Period. If Bembas claim to represent 43% of the electorate (or is it the Zambian population)are they including bisas, Mambwes, Lungus etc and why include them if they are not bembas as you claim? If you constitute 43% and have vowed not to vote for HH then why is State machinery being used to prevent him from campaigning. I have a feeling HH is going to win going by the fear being expressed by those who hate him. What about the dreaded 50+1 for size, bane?

Both tumfweko and those attacking HH are pathological liars. HH never said such things and can’t just do it now, but this little tumfweko hegemony of tribal hatred has always shown its biasness. You hate HH but how many are you to stop him because God has made him acceptable to majority of Zambians just as they accepted pf across the country. Pf has lost its chance and credibility because of its brutal and dictatorial tendencies which have irritated many people within and without Zambia. Sorry its too late for Tumfweko to resurrect them by scheming lies against hh.

For those who are busy trying to cover their tribal practices by saying Zambia has never been ruled by a bemba, this is what I have to tell you. Bisas, mambwes, namwangas, etc are all bemba speaking people. Some if not most of these people actually see themselves as bembas and yet they are not. On the other hand, Ilas and lenjes are commonly known as tonga speaking people even though they are not tongas but they (tonga, ilas and lenjes) are bantu botatwe. It is the same as chewas, sengas, etc. These are known as Nyanja speaking people. When it comes to western provinces, nyengos, nkoyas, luvales, etc are all known as lozi speaking people and yet they are not lozis.

Bafikala bonse nalamichinja imishi, Tongas(my favorites because of education) will go to muchinga, Bembas (too much boasting, lies, less educated) will be disposed off to western province since they couldn’t make it in Zaire – DRC where real bembas exist.
