LUNGU LAUGHS AT HH, ITS EASIER SAYING THAN DOING

Sixth President Edgar Lungu has laughed at his successor Hakainde Hichilema reminding of his time as opposition leader.

Commenting on the current economic situation in the country which he says is worse than during his reign, Lungu said Hichilema had said his team had failed.



“I still recall how someone once thought my team and I had failed Zambians. Easier said than done!,” Lungu said.

Lungu says his worst period or performance is still better than Hichilema’s best. He has posted the post Hichilema made at the time.

  1. If anyone reminds Hakainde of what he used to as opposition leader, they get arrested.

    The man lied through his teeth to get the top job. Yes he is totally useless at the job.

    ECL has every right to laugh at his friend. Unfortunately for us citizens, except a few of his own people, it is not a laughing matter. We are suffering a lot.

    Reject tribalism, corruption and oppression.

    Vote like they do in Southern province.

    Vote wisely in 2026.

    • Indigo Tyrol and your Defunct TuPF criminals will never ever rule this country but you will continue barking like dogs until you’re buried because you are already dead like a dodo
      Vote wisely vote for HH7 in 2026/31

  2. Rigmarole! Times are different.The world economy has just gone crazy.We feel it hard yes.But imagine if this world economic pressure was under the looting years, what was to be the state of affairs?
    Donald Trump has done some economic adjustments including aid to poor African countries because of world economic depression not that he hates poor countries.If you don’t realize there is economic pressure all over the world ni nshi mwa salila baba.Nai kaba pa world ba Sir.

    • Shut up just shut up please. You’re puking and not defending anyone can tell your head isn’t engaged in this your argument. Trump effect has only been here for less than 3 months. We had COVID 19 during PF and the world’s mobile economic activities were on lock down worldwide.
      Come 2026 You’re going back to the farm. You’re more useful there.

      • Negro please….who is mopping the things that you left? The debt? And the after effects of COVID-19, The UKraine war? And to top it all the sabotage that even the Sec to the Treasury and directors at Finance were buying bonds & TBs?
        Need I go further?
        Yes, Trump has thrown a wringer into it all. But would you guys have managed to deal with al these issues?
        Hell No! So stop trying to act all tough, with your break dancer of a Bank Governor. Its a figment of Lungu’s imagination that you can run anything. Who will give you the money (if you even came back) to keep the country going? You may fool some people but you can not fool everyone iwe 2.8million. People like you are no different from Lusambo who is singing confessions of how he illicitly got money. Yes, you sold the country. Read Lusambo’s testimony? Twikaed the country with the Mopani debt and rendered the country bankrupt. Negro sit down in embarassment instead of yapping about things you dont understand. Klepos want to flex? The nerve! Muleta speaks sense. Alot more than the lies you try to sell to illerates. Keep quiet. Who do you think you are kidding ba kabwalala…

  3. Lungu should just keep quiet, he is just provoking the Zambian people. Can Lungu compare the economy he inherited from MMD and the economy HH inherited from PF? Although it first went through Sata’s hands PF under Lungu found a sound and vibrant economy from Mwanawasa/RB compared to a run down and collapsed economy which HH found from Lungu. What pride is there in the collapsed and run down economy with a huge mountain of unsustainable debt? Is he not even ashamed of talking because there is nothing to talk about. The economy under PF was a disaster, from almost zero debt to an unassailable, and yet he is boating, what’s wrong with Lungu kanshi?
    Imagine Lungu saying that his worst period or performance is still better than Hichilema’s best but he is forgetting that his worst performance was reckless borrowing, gassing, arson, cadrerism, corruption, harassing opposition in markets and bus stops. Only some selected Constituencies were receiving 1.6 million which left no impact on development. Our children are now sitting on desks, they have decent classrooms, they are enjoying free education. Teachers, health workers, security officers, mention them have been recruited in big numbers. So what is Lungu talking about, he didn’t even experience any severe drought like the one we have during his seven year rule. He should also remember that he was in power for good seven years and HH has only been there for four years and yet he has by far out performed him.
    Lungu cannot deceive anyone, he found a good economy or a runner vehicle but HH found a broken down vehicle which Lungu recked.
    For sure things are easier said than done, is he not the one who said I will lock him up after I hand over power to myself?

    • He’s not provoking any Zambian. HH hasn’t serviced any debt since he got elected. All the money HH found he’s given it to his cadres through cash for work and CDF. As if it’s not enough his associates in the mines have been given tax holidays. How do you think CDF got to 32 million?. That is the money PF used to arrest the cost of living with, whilst making sure infrastructure development isn’t hampered. You can’t point at anything that the current criminals running this country have done other than stealing the FIC reported USD6billion just in 3 years. SHAME ON YOU! You and the president think this is a farm full of sick cows. 2026 is fast approaching!

      • Shut up you theives….2.8million how many people starved during this draught season? If CDF is not working read independent reports about the uptake. Whatever is spent is with the people instead of you theives that were busy burning money, building homes and raking state property.
        Tell us of a scandal that this President has not acted on? Where is Chitotela today when he should have been in prison and fired a long time ago. Lungu doesnt have a vision for you or me. Then how can he claim to lead?
        UKA kicked him out. Why? Power for powers sake means nothing. Why dis he leave the country instead of campgaining in Petauke?
        He is sick, or holidaying? That is the kind of leader you would want instead of being in the “trenches” with you he is having fun? Ba Jameson is just a joker like you 2.8million. People who have never seen what an honest days work means. People who dont take pride in hard work. People who are not different from what we read about Kelvin the form MP and now swindler.
        Hand out and scheming scams is all you folks are about. The next deal. There is nothing you can tell us. For awhile we have quietly been watching the empty noise you make.
        Think Trump is who you will emulate?
        Americans are having buyers remorse…. dumb latino are learning that racists dont give a…..

      • Better you die silence 2.8 than writing faeces on this platform,we all know that money for work are given by the Donors not what you are talking, serious president was suppose to be at chimutengo farm doing some work not out the country doing vigololo nabena faith musonda.

  4. I’m very certain that Edgar is mentally challenged because there’s no way a Man can fail to see the truth. Surely those who can’t see and appreciate the many successes HH and UPND have achieved before completion of just on term in office should clearly consider themselves abnormal. Edgar spent seven years playing, dancing, drinking , womanizing and stealing. So where does he gather courage to contrast himself with the hardworking serious president ?

  5. Lungu is anathema to the 2.8million+ Zambians. When he and his Tonse co-operative open their mouths it’s political bad breath all over..

  6. Lungu instead of providing answers to the Auditor General over NAPSA’s overpriced investment which you instigated in Macopolo as chairman of ZDA, who are pretending like you haven’t heard anything! We want to know where you took this money. Mind you this directly involves you. This time for you to account not politicking. This has a potential to affect your immunity. Apart from your corruption, stealing, lawlessness, alcoholism, killing people and caderism I can’t see tangible you spent 7 years on doing in government!!!

  7. Lungu = a baboon
    HH = going forward
    Lungu is a kock sucker and a master of corruption. Lungu, your family are going to jail one by one because of you, you satan nyoko

  8. SIR, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED AND REMORSEFUL FOR DANCING AWAY THE BOND MONEY THE SATA GOVERNMENT LEFT WITH THE TREASURY. HOW CAN YOU EVEN OPEN YOUR MOUTH OR EVEN PEN TO PAPER THE PRIDE IN YOUR FAILURES AND ECONOMIC DISASTER YOU ENGINEERED AND COMMISSIONED IN YOUR SEVEN YEARS OF DISASTROUS LEADERSHIP?
    YOU WILL EARN MORE RESPECT BY SAYING SORRY TO ZAMBIANS, HH INCLUSIVE, FOR WIPING OUT THE TREASURY.
    ZAMBIANS ARE NOT FOOLISH.
    THE DAMAGE YOU LEFT IS STILL VIVID.
    IT IS LIKE A PREGNANCY THAT YOU CAN NOT HIDE.

  9. Indeed Mr Hakainde Hichilema has failed the country…I don’t know the type of economics he did at UNZA.
    The problem the man has is that he has never practiced as an economist anywhere in Zambia. From UNZA he joined an Accounting firm , a completely different discipline.Soon he was a liquidator of Zambia’s Parastatal Companies, becoming a Billionaire in the process…And then pushed to the Presidency of the UPND because of Tribe, and riding on it to become state President.
    Mr Hakainde Hichilema’s corporate experience as a practicing economist is non existent. I have never read any professional paper written by our President . Am sure the only papers he has written are EC 110 , 210 assignments, and may be a final year Undergraduate project, and a Thesis for his MBA.
    How an Economist can be married to the Fiscal Indiscipline we are currently seeing in Zambia, the Chaotic programs everywhere, and the resulting free fall Economy under his watch is unbelievable!
    He is lucky he has a legion of Tribal Zealots who will always stand by him no matter what..and he can still present himself as a Leader, when clearly the man has failed.
    If he was from other tribes which don’t condone nonsense whether done by kin or kith, he could have by this time been in free fall just like his Economy.
    Well , let us now see where his K500 and K200 notes are going to take Zambia!
    Vyakulola vye.

    • Your ignorance about economics is something else. The man you claim to be a failure turned the economic growth from -2.8% left by your successful PF to about 3.5% in his first year and growth has been positive ever since including 2024 when we had the worst drought in the country’s history, the economy still registered positive growth and not even a single person died of hunger but if it was still PF in power when we had the severe drought, the economy would have completely shut down and there would have been deaths everywhere and we already saw how people started eating poisonous wild roots during the drought in PF despite it been just a minor drought, now imagine a severe one. Secondly, the man you claim to be a failure has attracted over $10 billion of investment in the mining sector in just 3 years, the largest investment in the sector by any administration. Not only that, he has resurrected the mining sector which your PF destroyed and the results have started showiing in terms of copper output from 700,000 tons in PF to over 840,000 in 2024 and this is despite the power deficit and it’s projected to reach over 1 million tons in 2025. By the way, PF found copper output at over 850,000 in 2011 but broght it down to just about 700,000. Thirdly, PF found the country’s GDP at over $23 billion but left it at $22 billion in 10 years while the person you claim to be a failure has grown the GDP to $28 billion in just 3 years. Further, the man who you claim to be a failure is providing free education which has even brought in over 2 million students who could not be in school because they could not afford and on top of that, the school children are getting fed by the schools without parents spending a ngwee. I can go on about the successes of this government which were not there in PF and I can dare say even other administrations before in some areas. And coming to your claim of the falling kwacha, it’s seems you don’t know that things don’t work in isolation. Let me educate you on one of the reasons why our currency has fallen. Our country biggest forex earner the mines which your PF destroyed have not fully recovered and ramped up production to exceed demand for forex. Remember in 2011 the population was about 14 million and copper out of 850,000 tons but the population has grown to 21 million which is 50% increase while copper output went down to about 700,000 tons which is about 17% decrease in export revenue so to maintain the forex rate at 2011 level copper out needed to be above 1.7 million tons (assuming copper remains the largest forex earner). In short, I can’t manage to explain everything here but I hope you now understand things better.

      • This man like Indigo are a sick pair of fools. They are paid to make these non sencical statements that are made to mislead and cause comotion.

    • Zambian Democracy – how many undergraduate degree holders write about anything in journals?
      I have a MSc in Applied Economics, work as a finance specialist and have never written anything for publication.
      People who do research for years write about tests and results of their hypothesis, they usually have phds.
      HH is a practitioner of common sense and has, with a team of qualified experts, tried to improve an economy decimated by theft and incompetence of PF.
      Try not to write and confirm your stupidity.

    • @Zambian Democracy advocate. We now know just how illinformed you are, and naive.
      From the courses one has to take to get an Undergraduate degree in Economics, what you call Accounting firm and actual Audit and Consultancy firms that do alot more complex things than just accounting which I believe you think is just bookkeeping. To the process of Privatization which in itself involved the valuation of the firms being sold (in which the sale was different as well from entity to the next. Floatation, MBO, MEBO, etc). To evaluation of the bids, to selection of the bids and offers. While Privitization process didnt start until the 1990s. The processes and the debates of the processes, the creation of ZPA started much earlier. And those that took an interest in the discussion then will tell you that the lies you hear people like spread just show ignorant you are.
      You like to paint a picture that you know. But here just asking what a degree in economics involves you dont know and exhibit your ignorance. So please like we told you yesterday.
      Learn to learn. There a lot you dont know, stop trying act like you do. Sit down and keep quiet. Maybe you will learn a thing or two in life.
      Stop following failures like Mmembe who went to England 4 times amd still failed to finosh ACCA. The then owners did Mmembe a favour employed him, and let him buy them out. Even then he run down the paper and failed….How can such a man lead a nation if he cant run a business. This is what we are seeing Trump today. A failure is failure. They can not and should never be trusted. HH has excelled contrary to why outline and suggest. Learn to learn young man.

  10. But this man is a disaster. Lungu is insane. Surely a person of his statue and at his age can not reason and think properly even when he knows what is right and wrong.

    This economy was totally iperating in the ICU. We were operating in the negative, he failed to pay the debts he owed the many institutions world over on behalf of the nation. He also in the other brackets defaulted and even failed to clinch a deal for debt extension payment period since it was just too much to handle, talk of the US$750 Million Eurobond which was due – maturing in 2024, the US$1.2 billion Eurobond which was due in 2026 and the other one amounting to about $1.1 billion US dollars or so maturing in 2027 payment of principle and inteedt was supposed to be setylef tbwew and then withiut any extension. You as Lungu brought all these kaloba problems and it hounded us; the ( debt restructuring plus other debt commitments; all these were ECLs creation apart from other manu other issues not touched here but you can even opwn your mouth to say, you Lough. surely you normal in your kablangata Lungu agwa chagwa ?

    President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA has been exceptionally working very had in order to bring our country’s financial routes in position in order to straighten and position it on the base and he has absolutely done so. Just like a car which has been extensively damaged in an accident because of a careless drunken driver in the driving seat like you chagwa agwa so is the repairs that this great leader in the name of HAKAINDE HICHILEMA has and is doing. It is very shameful for the same person whom we called our President in the name of Agws Lungu who damaged and totally collapsed the economy to open his mouth with protruding teeth to speak evil on the wise otherwise. Very shameful indeed. Many Zambians are appreciating the work President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA is doing becsause he is shaping our future from here while other people don’t see and appreciate his efforts but their children will at one ti.e or another because of what is being done. At times being blind in the heart is a very serious disease but once the eyes of the heart is open, people will not be overtaken by liers like these thieves from PIEFU. Time is always of insence. Lungu is just too small to be compared with HH in terms of leadership and wisdom. HH knows what he is doing while ECL is just…..kaya cabe.

    ECL is just laughing at himself.

  12. Can Lungu,in his Sane ,and sober mind mock HH, ? Maybe as at his usual best, He was drunk, and Since he’s in South Africa, drunk with the best pure JEMASSON, made in Scotland,
    Not the local ones,Lungu drinks, made in John Laing.
    The best, way Lungu, you could have said it,,was to say, I feel pity for my brother H H, for all what he is going through, because I, EDGAR CHAGWA, LUNGU, left Him with a big huge Burden,,for the bad Economic problems,HH, inherited from Me
    The 7 years of your Presidency, can best be described,as the biblical, 7 years of Egyptian Famine,
    You presided over a governance, synonymus, wth, looting, plundering,and wanton destruction of the Zambian Economy,, Violent Cadres for you was Normal,, Criminals around you, became your centre of your power gravity,
    Please, Lungu, Stop, stirring our past bad memories of your governance,
    Maybe, politely, Just SHUT UP,
    From KK , there has never been a Presidential Family ,that had accumulated, such an amount of Stolen wealth,, since our 60 years of independence, UNTIL YOU CAME,
    For you Lungu, is became normal, to even embrace in your circle of thieves,All the corruption Suspects,whom SATA, had fired from his Cabinet, they became your partners in crime,
    So stop , boasting,we who know a lot more about Your Government,will expose you more,,
    If only Zambia, had, HH, during, your 7 wasted Years, we could have been 14 years Ahead, in All developments of this Country, and yet you want to mock ,a person who ,has achieved and accomplished so much in 4 years, Than what you did in your 7 wasted Years.
    HH, vision for this Country, will live for so many years if not Generations to come, As long as ,we Zambians,also, in our selection of Leaders,We don’t Elect Thieves again,,as we did elect the PF of LUNGU (of course not SATA)
    Ba ,Lungu, if indeed,, your mocking of HH, was out of your Drunkard’s state,
    You sober up, & go into meditation,and reflect on your present predicament,
