The newly found ‘love’ between the current Patriotic Front leadership and most of the Movement Multi-Party Democracy senior members can never go without our scrutiny. Its the duty and responsibility of a citizen like me to question the morality and integrity of organizations whose business is to run the nation on behalf of the whole population. I understand how ever that in our quest to offer checks and balances as non political aligned citizens, we are labelled as sadist and haters who according to those in party politics are choking with jealosy for seeing them in power. Nevertheless, I for one have resolved never to be shut down or be told what to say, as long as I am being truthfull to my populism beliefs.
The alliance between MMD and PF which has erupted just after the death of the Founder father of the PF, HE Michael Chilufya Sata,(MHSRIP) and soon after the rising of two factions in MMD is very unholy. The PF was founded as a protest and splinter organization from the MMD after Michael Sata was snubbed to succeed Fredrick JT Chiluba. For ten years in which PF stayed in the opposition, Sata and his colleagues like Scott Guy, suffered humiliation, embarrassment and terror by the MMD led government. From being incarnated at Chimbokaila Prisons, being teargassed or being denied rally permits. Sata survived in opposition due to is perseverance. If the PF was never persistent and determined, the MMD led government would have managed to kill PF. Sata and his team raised his own trademark and signature which marketed PF to the general citizens, worse still the MMD led government made sure that Sata is painted black despite all his hard work to get his message fairly and square to the voters. The MMD manufactured propaganda like, Sata will start forcing same-sex marriages.
Its now very surprising that the very people who for a decade fought the then PF leaders tooth and nail are back with full force, seemingly with so much preference than the founder members, benefiting from the efforts of those who they prevented from getting in government by setting unfair ground be it by not covering them by the public media or arresting the leaders on unfair charges like public order act. Every person has a democratic right to belong to any political organization of his/her choice, but categorically, let me say it is morally never right and logically incorrect for the current PF leadership to resolve and invite over the MMD leaders who for years prevented a fair chance for PF to thrive. As politicians, i understand that you believe in ‘no permanent friend, no permanent enemy’ philosophy but there is a need that our leaders also remember keeping their morals . It is clear that those MMD MPs and former government leaders who condemned the PF of Micheal Sata never did it out of principle. Other wise if they did, how can they stand today and defend the same policies they rubbished just 4 years ago, what has changed if not the change of PF leadership which has created opportunities for those who still want to continue sucking from our national coffers but never found courage and opportunity in getting such a privileged under the Sata led government. I understand that right now the PF feels they need MMD because of the influence which they feel those in MMD have on voters, especially after realizing that they have a very strong competition (going by last years results). This is the reason PF leadership will try and hang on MMD despite knowing that this alliance between them is very unholy. But I can humbly advise that the continuous alliance between the MMD former leaders and PF will never win PF any votes instead, they will lose those longstanding members.
The PF leadership need to take a decisive and responsible decision before its too late. The MMD is dead political organization and there is no help or influence which it can provide to the PF right now. The sooner the PF realizes this the better for their future. If those in PF feels this are unjustifiable calls we are making then its ok, we shall celebrate with them once MMD makes them leave government soon. Because the continued alignment between the two can only produce failure. Those politicians who keeps on changing political ideologies to suit the current ruling parties policies are not just greedy but selfish individuals who wish to continue they occupancy in the corridors of power, how ever Zambia is not for just for a few individuals, there is need for those in power to rotate the appointments and adoption of those to be made MPs not just from the same crop of disgruntled and corrupt politicians. We can not allow a situation where senior citizens who should be enjoying their retirement continually keep on calling the shots in the political spheres of our country. The very people who PF is entertaining right now sent MMD in oblivion, some of the came from UNIP and other parties, where they didn’t either defect or resign but kept on renewing their membership somewhere whilst there where putting on MMD regalia, the same people right now, with MMD cards in their hands but in PF are regalia are going round masquerading as true patriots. They managed to kill MMD in 2011, and thereafter came back and pushed Dr Nevers Mumba away who was busy trying to awaken the dead MMD, they carried the party and finally buried it.
PF need tp wake up and unbreak this unholy alliance, otherwise there is no reason why people voted out MMD if the same characters are back in our government through the back door.
God bless Zambia.

Zo’na….one can not rule for 200 years!!
Indeed its surprising to take a glance at the writings on this paper today.why has the pf become the irresistible party for staunch MMD die hard members?we simply lack credibility in our political arena.there is so much hypocrisy in our politics.our morals have gone in to waste.our leaders have lost integrity such that they can not discern right from wrong.shame
Honestly this cannot just be let to go without a fight. There is no way we as a Country can just allow these beasts of politicians to rape our democracy just like this. Oke we need unity and all but we can co-opt others from all the regions and not the same ones who have robbed this Country like RB, Dora Slit. Remember Dora and her son’s dollar bank account etc. Their corruption and thefts are endless. They were even considering taking in Liato what will they do now that he is a convict
Am calling upon the Civil Society and all pressure groups to rise up and organise protest marches to oppose the appointment of corrupt leaders to Govt. People who have been found to have practiced corruption and their seats nullified are now in Parliament. Where are we going as a Nation what message are sending to the World and our children. People who are being pursued in courts of law for corruption are the Chief Advisors to the man who is leading this Country This cannot continue
Am also shocked and disappointed. Has the current PF leadership forgotten how RB decampaigned PF by sponsoring the Chanda Chimba III propaganda documentaries in which Sata and PF were demonized? There was a reason why people in Kitwe paraded a dog dressed up in MMD regalia in celebrating the defeat of MMD and PF victory. Zambians are not fools, we are watching and at an appropriate time using appropriate tools we will act in our interest.
The root cause is that very day Edgar and RB decided to undress and become bed fellows, there is no way Edgar wouldnt be indebted to RB a well known corrupt person, he spent millions on Edgar now its pay back time. PF members knew the consequences of the pairing up but decided to give it a blind eye because all they wanted was to win the elections that time. So PF better change the the name to ZANU-PFMMD (Including funding from that Zimbabwean president too)!

Angel who calls himself “Prophet” and labels his church members “FÔÔLS” even on live camera, and is wanted in Zimbabwe for fraud, recently relocated to the UK and has not been to Zimbabwe since his fraud case began last year.

BREAKING NEWS………’Prophet’ Uebert Angel Buys Expensive 400k House Funded By ATM Theft Raids
The founder of Spirit Embassy church Prophet Uebert Angel has bought a new expensive house funded from cash machine raids.
The posh property on the outskirts of the United Kingdom’s Nottingham city, was purchased at the sum of close to £400,000.
It is a four (4) bedroom detached house with its exclusive green hedge in its surrounds.
Angel who calls himself “Prophet” and labels his church members “FÔÔLS” even on live camera, and is wanted in Zimbabwe for fraud, recently relocated to the UK and has not been to Zimbabwe since his fraud case began last year.
ZimEye(dot)com has video footage of Angel instructing both pastors and church members to go and manipulate cash machines if they want to succeed. In the video footage to be streamed Saturday he reveals that he started this practice of raiding cash machines before he left for Zimbabwe back in 2010 when he enriched himself illegally to a bounty the sum of £2000.00 from a local ATM at a time his bank balance was completely “in the red” £-2.00. WATCH: WATCH: Uebert Angel Stealing from ATM/Cash Machine
But according to a top US preacher, a man who regrets making Angel famous having introduced him to US mega churches, Angel’s method and version of prosperity is “very questionable and not of God.”
When God gives someone money “there is always a source, but in this case there is none,” said the preacher who asked not to be named.
Ala bane, LESA ni PALOBE!
Let’s kick these disgrantled pipo out of office come 2016 bcoz they have no morals,Sata must be turning in his grave,we voted them out why then bring them via a back door iwe cichakolwa,hv u 4gotten hw they demonised our great Leader MHSRP.
I wont say much coz 2016 is not far i think my vote will try hh thats why one person once said pf is a one term part NEZ i think u attract my vote
Sad indeed.
HH is on South African TV News! He is speaking very well about Zambia’s future. Mpho is asking him tough questions
ba hh just go ku farm.do waist money.
I am voting them out… Come 2016
They are a disgrace to zambian pipo,they have forgotten for pipo who fault to remove mmd.They had even abolished Long Service Bonus for clasfied employees and they can not even pay those who were due by the time of abolishment of the same.What type of government are they?They are only enriching themselves,shame on you.
True indeed
Now that it is clear that, MMD a party which the people of Zambia removed from power because of indiscipline has found its way back to power through some weak PF leaders, Let us all join our hands together and join the only party that can bring back Leadership discipline into our country. Join Rainbow party. I can sense many disciplined leader under the late President Sata joining Rainbow party in 2016 towards the elections.
I fail to understand you guys is it not your fathers, uncles, aunties etc, who keeps on trotting / going round from one party to another some are even going back from where they came from except for HH who has got a personal to holder party. what puzzles me is the way you criticize PF what about UPND are they not welcoming MMD supporters? young men wake up in politics one should be awake to survivor. Do you think it is normal even to chase people just because they come from MMD when every vote counts. Mind you we were all UNIP then MMD now it is PF and tomorrow it might be UPND and people will still cross over.
