PF IS DESTROYING ITSELF BY ADOPTING THE SAME STRATEGIES THAT BROUGHT THEM WHERE THEY ARE TODAY.
I cannot believe that it is not possible for the PF to realize that the path they’re taking as they want to rebrand is leading them towards self-destruction? The PF leadership seem to have surrendered the party to it’s rival gangs amongst the PF to decide the fate of its party.
I may not agree with everything that Seer 1 prophesises, but on tickling a catastrophic spell of confusion in PF,I totally agree with him! PF is in a totally confused state.It doesn’t know what to do and yet it wants to be seen to be doing something.Currently there’s a groundswell of the scrumble for the PF presidency that has given rise to many rival gangs operating underground.Edgar is not doing justice to this party that sponsored him to his presidency.His silence on the party presidency and yet holding on to it, will cost the PF more than how RB costed the MMD! If he is hanging his political gloves,let him do so openly so that others might have the courage to come out contest! So far the only gang that has come out in open is the group sponsored by CK. This gang wants CK to take over the presidency and you can imagine the confusion that this decision can create from other gangs strongly opposed to CK’s loud-mouth type of tribal politicking!
These rival gangs probably are the ones at the center of crushing on each other during by-elections and accusing the UPND.PF had secured alot of UPND ligalia.
These PF rival gangs haven’t started today, they’ve been there even when they were in government when Kampyongo was the Home Affairs Minister and Kalimanshi one of the commanders of a rival gang!
It is these rival gangs raised by the PF top leadership themselves whilst in government that will destroy the PF completely.Equiped with incriminating evidence against those who were sponsoring violet activities against their opponents,these PF rival gangs have become untouchables….loose cannons!!!!!
If these commanders of these rival gangs could slap the Justice Minister in broad daylight at the market place in full view of members of the public whilst they were in government then,who can control them in PF today? If a commander of a rival gang in PF can publicly insult a sitting Minister of Home Affairs, what makes you think the former minister can scare such a commander today when they’re both out of power?
When people were advising the PF government then to tame their cadres,these PF leaders thought people were just jealous about there new found lifestyles! People used to warn them that these cadres you were raising and sponsoring to attack others, one day they’ll rise against you,they thought people were just hallucinating.Today,this confusion in PF is about to erupt.
These PF rival gangs in PF are hunting each other like predators in the jungle.Once they strike their opposition, they’re quick to scream whilst pointing to UPND as perpetrators of violence and yet they know each other pretty well! UPND has a very disciplined leader whom by now everyone knows that whoever is caught on the wrong side of the law,he or she will be himself or herself to blame regardless of the political party one is affiliated to! UPND members knows this pretty well to undertake such a risk operation of engaging in political violence without the full backing of the party leadership.UPND is aware that the responsibility to maintain and conduct peaceful elections lies squarely on their shoulders.They know that any incidents of violence in areas where there are by – elections, the buck will stop at them.Therefore, the UPND has no reason whatsoever, to engage in violence.However,there could be one or two disgruntled members acting on their own volition to engage in violence,but that cannot be said to be UPND’s stance!
I submit.
