Wynter Kabimba says he has left politics of insults to Chishimba Kambwili who is always on radio to call the President and other government leaders as thieves and “pompwes”

And Kabimba says it is nonsensical to assume that the Zambia Forestry and Forest Industries Corporation (ZAFFICO) has been sold simply because the company’s shares have been listed on the stock market.

Meanwhile, Kabimba has advised PF Secretary General Davies Mwila to stop party cadre Chanoda Ngwira’s acrimonious behaviour towards government wings like the Judiciary because its destroying the party.

Speaking when he featured on Hot FM’s Frank on Hot programme, Tuesday, Kabimba said he had stopped buying or reading newspapers in Zambia because they have nothing to offer him, adding that he avoids print media journalists who like to call him so that he can join those that are practicing politics of insults.

“There is nobody who is talking about the policies they would bring in this country if given an opportunity to govern. Everybody’s ideology is about insults and how to humiliate and demean someone else across there and you, the press has contributed. You also think that the only way you can sale the image of your Radio station is by bringing someone here who is calling everybody ‘Pompwe’, ‘nibakabolala aba, ba pompwe (they are thieves, despicable thieves), they are corrupt’, and everyone is cheering ‘eee eee eee this is the message’ and you start running that as a headline throughout the day, as if it changes the price of oil in Iraq. Print media same, if they don’t put a sensational headline they think nobody will buy it,” Kabimba said.

“During Michael [Sata]’s time, when you saw the name Sata, whatever it was they said about him, you bought the post. That culture has continued, I have stopped buying the print media myself in this country, there is nothing that they can tell me that I can learn from them. Me I don’t want to be covered for insults and you know what I tell some reporters when they phone me? I tell them ‘try ba Kambwili, not me on that one’. So journalists share the inequity of this political degeneration.”
