So, Tonse was or is a Lungu family affair.
Ilibadiii….. I am watching from terraces…..!!
Sean Tembo ( under machinations of KBF ) Vs LUBINDA…..and bene Mundubile with no direction politically!!.
What iam convinced is that ZMP OR PeP CAN’T be USED AS A SPECIAL VEHICLE the owners of the party aren’t serious.
Let PF go for FDD and MOREOVER FFD have similar Green Color just as PF.
It’s just an advice.
Truly amazing. Consulting the Lungu family for what? The family’s role in the political scheme of things ended with the demise of Mr. Lungu. The sooner this sinks into PF’s collective head the better for PF and a strong opposition. They have already squandered the good will of the pepple by engaging in a tug of war with the government over Mr. Lungus remains.
This is not a dynasty for the Lungu family to hold PF to ransom. It is like PF is held captive by Mr. Lungu’s spirit and they can’t think objectively.
Aini sure!! Is this Party a Monarchy Party? And yet same people are loudest shouting about democracy? So when they reach there, whom are they going to consult, Kebs, Tassie, bamayo ba Essie nangu Banakulu abene bansele?
The PF money has dried up. They want to know who is keeping the ‘kasaka ka ndalama’ in Lungu’s family.
How the Mighty Zambia has fallen!!! The whole 4 years and counting,spent on manoeuvres,plans and plans within plans,to destroy the PF instead of governing and helping to uplift the Zambian cause for all !!!
PF has always been in self destruction mode. Whatever PF touches crumbles. UKWA, now Tonse. Finally, like a dying star PF will explode like a supa nova.
They know Lungu is Live.Thats why they have to consult him at every turn
Lungu is alive. Why go to consult a frozen and emburmed corps? Plan B will be revealed soon.
