Nalumango Behaves Like a Common Cadre on the Street – Nakacinda
Patriotic Front (PF) Secretary General Raphael Nakacinda has publicly criticized Vice President Mutale Nalumango, saying she behaves like a “common cadre on the street” and gives “unintelligent answers” in Parliament.
This criticism comes after Nalumango urged opposition parties to stop using former President Edgar Lungu’s name in their campaigns, arguing it evokes negative emotions and is culturally inappropriate.
The tensions between the PF and the United Party for National Development (UPND), led by President Hakainde Hichilema, continue to escalate. Nakacinda’s remarks are part of the ongoing verbal sparring match between the two parties, with each side dug in and determined to outdo the other.

Leave that woman alone.You can never be her in so many ways .You one of the dull guys I know Nakachinda. Nzelu palibe.How did we find ourselves being governed by people like you…it’s really sad and just hope it will never happen again
Ba Sir, mulekwata umuchinshi, ba Nakumango niba Vice President. Her point is valid, you can not continue using the name of a dead person in campaigns or regalia which bears the images of a dead person. When Sata died, you did the right thing to switch on to Lungu. And now that Lungu is dead, why can’t you do the same? Equally UPND stopped using Mazoka’s name or regalia after he died. MMD did the same, it would be madness for MMD to continue using the names and portraits of Mwanawasa and RB when the living leaders are there.
I googled Nakachinda’s credentials. Now I understand the reason he behaves this way. It’s a big complex. The young man spent time doing nothing in his younger days. His former teachers can attest to this fact.
This is the kind of behaviour by this convict, Nakachinda. He deserves to be serving jail time in prison.
