UPND president Hakainde Hichilema says the party is close to reaching its destination of forming government next year because the PF had lamentably failed to deliver on its campaign promises.
And Hichilema says it is clear that those who accused the UPND of being gassing masterminds were the ones involved in the illegal acts.
Speaking to UPND youths at the party secretariat in Lusaka, Thursday, Hichilema said the UPND had walked a long distance and were now close to their destination and within reach of forming government in 2021.
“As a country, we all agree that PF has failed. They said, ‘more money in the pockets,’ there is no money in the pockets; they said, ‘more jobs,’ there are no jobs; they said, ‘taxes will be lower,’ but taxes are higher! Even to drink water, you are taxed; even to go to the toilet, you are taxed. Now, because PF has failed, there is only one party that can take Zambia forward. That is your party, that is my party, that is a party for the people of Zambia. I want you to know that we are close to our destination; we have walked a long distance; we have walked a long distance, but we are there; we are very close! This is the time you should work even harder so that we can liberate the people of Zambia. You must not lose hope because help is on the way,” Hichilema said.
“Nothing should stand in our way so that we can liberate this country. When we cross the river Jordan, and I am seeing the banks, they are there, we are close. Lungu alungusha chalo! My dear friends, youths in Zambia, youths in the UPND I know that the country is destroyed; I know that children are not going to school; I know that you don’t have jobs; I know that mealie meal is nowhere to be seen; I know the sufferings you are going through at home…they are a lot. I want you to know that we share your pain. I, as HH and the leaders of this party, we share your pain. We share the pain for the people of Zambia; we share the pain of the youth because they are the future of this country. We all know that before we used to argue, some people were saying that PF will deliver. We know that the three principles the PF campaigned for have all collapsed!”
He instructed party members to protect their votes at all costs in 2021.
“We have to campaign, to register, to get NRCs and voters’ cards and on the voting day, we vote so that we can win big! And after voting this time round, I am giving you instructions ahead: protect your vote at all costs! Protect your vote at all costs! The one who is going to steal the vote, that is his own problem. We must take over Lusaka, we must take over Copperbelt. The youth of Zambia, the women of Zambia, be like Julia Chikamoneka, who was able to demonstrate her role for independence; we must follow in her footpath; we must work hard as a group; we must work hard as a party; we must work hard as a country,” he urged.
“Don’t say, ‘HH protect our votes,’ HH is only one person; it is you to protect. When we cross the bridge, which is soon my job and our job as an economic team, is to turn around the economy to send every child of Zambia to school, even if that child is an orphan. Education and skills is number one; number two is to give you jobs; I know how to get jobs; number three is to give you businesses.”
Hichilema pledged to restore law and order in the country on the first day he is elected Republican President.
“When we come in the morning we are sworn in, first, there will be law and order that afternoon; then, that afternoon, the kwacha will appreciate against the dollar; that afternoon, any citizen can go to a bus stop and no one will beat them; you can go to the market wearing any party regalia and no one will beat them. My job is to bring law and order, not this confusion we are seeing under PF,” Hichilema said.
“There is confusion and there is disorder because there is a shortage of leadership. You are worried about the shortage of mealie meal? My worry is that there is a shortage of leadership. That is our promise to the people of Zambia, you do your job, register as voters, get NRCs turnout to vote; protect your vote until we are sworn in and then my job is to deliver you to Canaan.”
And Hichilema said it was clear that those who accused the UPND of being the masterminds of the gassing incidents were the ones perpetrating the illegal acts.
“They wanted to accuse us on gassing, but it was them, it is clear, it is known. I want say to say to you, the people who suffered under gassing organized by those people you know; the people who died over police bullets, we want to know because it is clear those people were killed illegally and we want to ensure that we have that information and it can be used at the right time. But our job, right now, is to deliver UPND into government and the rest, leave it to me,” said Hichilema.
“Are you still doubting HH? How can you doubt? When there is no rain, it is HH; if there is no mealie meal, it is HH; then HH is the one who has solutions! You are in a right party; you should be proud of yourselves. Recruit more members, don’t fight against yourselves. I am proud of your commitment.”

God bless you always
Please HH as much as I would like you to be our next president I dont think you are doing enough to convince the electorates. You cant ride on PF’s failures only. Convince the people what you are going to do differently. Give a chance to other senior members of your party like the guys incharge of mining, economics, agriculture, justice, and so on to also give their visions. Right now you sound like a one man party. Dont disappoint us. Go out there and campaign please and explain in simple language what your party will do once in power….otherwise you are looking at another defeat.
The title of this article might remain wishful thinking,if the Zambia Intelligence/OP is not stopped now from Rigging Elections.
It is also the OP which is behind the Barbaric GASSING of innocent people including Children, which culminated in the needles killing of more than 50 people.
OP is the biggest threat and problem in Zambia, not Lungu and his Corrupt Regime.
The OP has an HIDDEN AGENDA of usurping political power, indirectly and then directly. OP is the self appointed ELECTORAL COLLEGE in Zambia- like the American Electoral College, OP, on behalf of the Electorate, and to the total disregard of POPULAR VOTE, decides who should be President and who should occupy Strategic positions in government; OP is the de facto Appointing Authority- NO ONE can be President or occupy strategic post in government, without the consent of and manipulation by OP- Consequently, both the Presidency and government are Compromised; OP is more powerful than the Head of State- in fact , OP is a STATE within a state- there is State Capture by OP, in Zambia; OP wields unchecked absolute powers resulting in unstoppable Impunity Brutality Torture Deprivation Isolation Alienation, Cruelty, Invasion of Privacy, Victimisation, Vote Rigging, , Corruption,, use of WMDs- Deadly RADIATION, POISONS, TOXIC CHEMICALS and GASSES, Planned Air and Road Traffic Accidents, Political Assassinations, Misuse of Satellite Technology together with EMR; useof OCCULT, SATANIC, DARK FORCES- that demand HUMAN BLOOD.
Under the sway of OP, Zambia has become a VIGILANTE STATE, and Land of Terror, Torture, Extreme Cruelty, Fear and Death. Many people have been and are still being victimised Tortured, Paralyzed, and killed by OP. OP can do anything to anyone including Killing of two Presidents, and get away with it. OP is playing God. Some of OP’s victims include: Late Kapwepwe, Mazoka, Sata, Mwanawasa, Mulongoti, Chanda Chimba, Chiluba, Bright Mwape, …..HH, Kambwili, Guy Scott, me, etc. No one is safe in Zambia, including Presidents and Foreign Dignitaries Accredited to Zambia ( Daniel Foote).
The real Seat of Political Power-is with OP. It is Ruling and Governing this country. Lungu is a Figurehead President, just like Erdogan of Turkey. Lungu is a puppet of OP.. Lungu is just being used and will be discarded, like Sata and Mwanawasa, when he takes OP to a point where his services will no longer be required..
Under the sway of OP, Zambia has become an apt SAVAGE DEMOCRACY where focus is on serving the Head of State, his family members, and his Cronies: Regimes serve a selected few: Governments serve all people equally. Savage Democracies are more dangerous than Regimes, as evidenced in Zimbabwe Turkey Egypt, N Korea Angola,etc.
The health of Democracy in a country is measured by the Level Playing Field and the Evenhandedness of the ELECTORAL PROCESS,which ensures Free and Fair Elections. There is no level playing field and the Electoral Process is rotten in Zambia.. The entire Electoral Process is controlled by, and is in the hands of OP. Hence , NO BALLOT WILL EVER BRING DESIRABLE REGIME CHANGE IN ZAMBIA., as long as OP is not stopped now.
Lest it is forgotten, late Anderson Mazoka was robbed of the Election Victory, Presidency, and his Life , by OP.
All Presidents, including Lungu, have been alerted and advised not to listen to OP, for it is up to no good- and that who ever does so- it will be at own peril.. Kaunda and RB Banda only confirmed this, after they had lost the elections and had been kicked out of State House.
Lungu was imposed on the Zambian people by the OP through fraudulent and disputed Election Results of 2015 and 2016, which the Cronistic and partisan ECZ and ConCourt failed to annul, to the let down of the Zambian people, the disappointmentt of the Electorate and a disgrace to the National and International Legal Fraternity.. The Malawian Professional Judges have done better than the Zambian incompetent and Cronistic ConCourt and ECZ.
The OP kept Kaunda in power for more than 27 years. The same OP brought Lungu into State House .and wants to keep him there indefinitely, against the wishes of the people.. OP is doing this not for Lungu’s sake, but it’s own- the Hidden Agenda of usurping political power. Lungu is just a pawn in this dirty power game. Lungu is not aware of this sordid intrigue- he is being duped by OP.
OP has deliberately misguided, misled and spoiled Lungu who has increasingly become more Autocratic Impulsively Intolerant, and Arrogant.. Just like other dictators, like Kaunda, Mugabe, Mubarak, etc, Lungu is living in a parallel universe, completely detached from the realities on planet earth. Lungu has taken Zambia to be a Monarchy or Empire- he is talking and Acting like a King or Emperor.. No one appointed Lungu to the throne of a King. . In fact , Lungu didn’t win the 2015 and 2016 Elections, he was imposed on the Zambian people by Power Hungry OP, in collaboration with Cronistic and incompetent ECZ and ConCourt..
Lungu arrogantly issued a despotic and undemocratic statement that he will not allow HH to Rule Zambia.. Who gave Lungu the mandate to disallow or allow people to contest for the Presidency? Why doesn’t Lungu let the Electorate decide, through a democratic process, the Ballot. It is evident that Lungu’s arrogance is stemming from OP’s assurances that the 2021 Elections will be rigged in his favour and will win by 70%..- Chitotela wants to come and appear that he prophecies this outcome.
But if the OP doesn’t meddle with the 2021 Elections, Lungu can’t win . His Administration has lost Credibility. An Administration without Credibility cannot govern or win re-election.
Apart from OP fueling Corruption and Economic Sabotage, Lungu’s model of: uubomba mwibala alya mwibala- stealing Culture, has made it worse.
OP is the biggest culprit in wasteful extravagant, reckless and unregulated expenditure of Public Funds: it has illegally acquired stockpiled and conducting Experiments on innocent people using: Radiation, Poisons, Gasses, Traumatic Torture Techniques, and Dark Forces Attacks that demand HUMAN BLOOD.
The OP is the Master Mind of the Barbaric GASSING. It has the MOTIVE- its HIDDEN AGENDA; it had the CAPACITY and WEAPONS to carry out Barbaric Attacks countrywide..
Lungu is in a CATCH 22 situation: whether he knows or doesn’t know who is behind the Barbaric GASSING, he is to blame. It he knows, why hasn’t he taken action against the Mastermind- the OP; If he doesn’t know then who is in control of the country? – of course it is the OP.
Lungu has contributed to his own failure: and downfall: Self- Justification,Self Preservation; Self – Enrichment; Self- Engrandiziment; Self- Glory; Stealing Culture- uubomba mwibala alya mwibala, Kuba na nzelu, Kuba na mayele; Transactional, Autocratic Repulsive indecisive and Incongruent Leadership; Arrogance; Ignorance; Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent; Nil CAPACITY to listen and learn from the wisdom of others- he couldn’t listen to the Attorney General’s professional advice on Sangwa’s case;
People don’t want Lungu. People want Regime Change today, not tomorrow.. But OP is the biggest hindrance to Freeland fair elections.
PUBLIC PROTESTS and DEMONSTRATIONS have become effective tools in bringing about Regime Change in other countries, like Sudan, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, etc.
This can also be done and achieved in Zambia. Although most people in Zambia seem to be in a slumber, they have the potential and capacity to rise to this occasion.
Zambia is in dire need of a Courageous and Galvanizing leadership to spearhead a SUSTAINED CAMPAIGN aimed at ousting the PF Autocratic and Narcissistic Kleptocracy; Call for the Disbandment and replacement of the Barbaric OP; Call for the removal and replacement of the Partisan and Cronistic ECZ and ConCourt.
The Opposition Alliance should strategize to remove OP first, before 2021elections.
