Former Patriotic Front Secretary General Wynter Kabimba this morning kept Journalist in Kitwe waiting for long hours for a planned media briefing which never took place.
Journalists were made to wait for close to three at Kitwe’s Edinburgh Hotel were Mr Kabimba was supposed to address them following his dismissal by President Michael Sata yesterday, in a move that shocked most people.
The anxiously waiting scribes constantly told by one man that the former PF strongman would be coming to address them until it became clear that the briefing would not take place.
There was no information as to why the highly anticipated press briefing by Mr Kabimba was cancelled.
President Sata fired Mr Kabimba yesterday while he was on a campaign trail in North Western province where he had gone to drum up support for the PF candidates in the Zambezi West and Solwezi central parliamentary by-elections.
His sacking sparked celebrations in Lusaka among Patriotic Front cadres whose attempt last year to have Mr Kabimba removed from position through street demonstrations failed.

It’s not LIP, it’s reap. And it’s not Presido, it’s President. Between a comma and the next word, there should be a space.
People read these posts and they think all Zambians can write correctly !!

The man who never spared a moment to irritate Zambia n’s with his self importance cannot now face us? This is an opportunity for him to prove to us how popular he is but he chooses to ignore us.

Any ardent reader of European history knows how Adolf Hitler got Ernest Roem , his previous closest friend and leader f the SA ,;shot after being in power just about same period as Sata. True — REVOLUTIONS DEVOUR THEIR OWN CHILDREN

@Truly Zambian, so you just assume that Mr. Sata did not investigate before he acted? Were you expecting him to first inform you in person that he is investigating Kabimba before he fired him? Your reasoning capacity fails to rise above even that of a common garden snail.

Wynter has failed to write a press statement because he does not know what to say. He is still shocked. I’m told the first draft was like’ i’m still a minister of justice and PF SG. On second thought he realised this would be treasonable. the second draft was like ‘i’m going to form a political party.. on the second thoought he realised he probably only have the Post and Mmember to support him. even his own village has rejected him twice.. So will take time before he know what to say.

winter should just thank the appointing authority for having given him the opportunity.otherwise ,whatever,he had was for michael.all those servin in the gvt are ther because of MCS.
He should acknowledge that he made mistakes,by scheming to take over power,from the cobra.the cobra maybe sick,but the vernon is still potent.
he is an experienced politician,a tactician and has experience from the 60′s the only people who could term the cobra ,were kk and ftj.he can lie low,but he is surely a serpernt.kabimba,under estimated his closesness with cobra thinking,he was untouchable.

20:4 Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed
upon earth,
20:5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy
of the hypocrite but for a moment?
20:6 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and
his head reach unto the clouds;
20:7 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they
which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
