SAVE YOURSELVES FROM ABUSE IN AUGUST – KAPWEPWE
MAKE the right decision in the August 13 general election and save the country from weaponised state institutions, social activist Mulenga Kapwepwe has urged Zambians.
Kapwepwe, daughter of late former vice president Simon Kapwepwe, said Zambians should exercise their democratic power and decide which direction the country should head to by making the right choice in August.
She told The Mast in an interview government should stop weaponising the law using State institutions.
“Yes, Zambians themselves must decide the direction of the country. Because we have never been here in this situation before. So, I think it is the people themselves who have to decide where we should go. They [Zambians] are the biggest part of what democracy is,” Kapwepwe said.
She said what was happening in the country with the law being abused day and night with impunity was uncalled for and a violation of human rights.
Kapwepwe said Zambia was on an unbelievable trajectory where the voice of the people, particularly those with divergent views, was being silenced.
“But then we are in this trajectory where the voices now should not be spoken. Where are we heading to as a country?,” Kapwepwe said.
She said the country had never experienced such hatred and division among citizens before.
“The Zambian people must come out and decide where we should go as a country because with what is prevailing, this is definitely not where we thought we should be. The situation now is the people versus the State. It’s a pity” Kapwepwe said.
The Mast
Where was this woman during the PF reign of terror? Or she was part of the establishment and beneficiary?
Beneficiary I think…
Yes,that list of tribal appointments in government institutions was not hatred and divisive inside her forehead.The tribal retirements of innocent civil servants was good governance in those small eyes and thug Kalimanshi was her hero boyfriend
Some people are just forced what to say not really from what was seen in previous regime.
We definitely will NOT madame. We will avoid anything tainted with PF, whether it called Tonse or any other name. We are not going back to that misleadership of financial recklessness and looting of the national treasury.
We decided 5 years ago and nothing will change it now…
She is saying what she is saying because of a feeling of entitlement. She thinks only her kitn and kin are entitled to rule. She should stop living in dreamland, but in reality.
Children of other politicians during the reign of her father are just quiet but for her, just ya
Yapping Yapping useless things…
Yap on your own behalf…
Don’t include us, we are Adults and can make our own minds…
The MP’s we Voted for spoke on our behalf in Parliament…
Who are you…
Ninjala wakunyokola…
This hater, you think people are blind and deaf, they’ve lived experience of a corrupt/violent regime and a sense of economic/political sanity. She’s putting up a facade of activism, pf chap
Ba Mulenga, in August 2021, we decided which direction we wanted to go.
Nothing has changed.
Madam you are honest and objective. Those who are not in agreement with what you said lack sincerity and objectivity. I totally agree with you. Keep it up with same spirit of saying the truth.
Only ignorant people like you who are economically illiterate agree to such nonsense.Is it not the pf who borrowed money and defaulted paying back leaving the country and its economy in ICU.Employ your intellect rather than animosity
We’re you in Zambia when lungu was president, if yes then you are not truthful in your assession that the situation now is worse than pre 2021 because the truth is the opposite. Any am happy that most of us Zambians have not forgotten the dark days of pf. You sound bitter, did the upnd deny you a job?
Which Zambians is this woman talking about? We already saved ourselves from the abuse in August, 2021 and in August this year, we are giving HH another five year mandate to continue driving our nation and continue with his visionary developmental agenda. We are not going to get instructions from few selfish individuals under the disguise of activism.
This kapwepwe woman only knows how to present herself before politicians and then she gets appointed to some role. They think because they are Kapwepwes, everyone must take notice of them, and that what they say and feel is gospel truth or wisdom. She has not contributed anything really tangible on her own without the kapwepwe name. And worse still is she is tribal. when she says the zambians, she is implying those she identifies with, and supports, the PF and northerner/ easterner block. She thinks that those and including herself, are the ones entitled to rule.
Ba Pakulo, stick to the issues Ms. Kapwepwe has raised. Don’t go off at a tangent. What she has expressed is her opinion and she is entitled to it. Do not attack her as a person. Above all, donot bring in the Kapwepwe name. Which other Kapwepwe have you heard commenting on political issues for you to say “they think because they are Kapwepwes…..”?
As far as I know, her brother Mwansa has always kept a low profile. He is a dignified man like his late father. Her sibling, Chileshe, also keeps away from the political fray. I have not heard much about her elder sister Chilufya.
The point is, even if they were to be visible, that is their right and you can’t muzzle them just because they are Kapwepwes.
You also seem to suffer from the same tribal prejudice you are accussing her of. Why bringing in Northerner/Easterner block? PF does have supporters in all province just like UPND. The numbers might be small in some areas but they are there all the same.
We are in better hands than the previous rule.
No one is perfect but we would rather be this
Then go back
What a worthless woman who has become accustomed to receiving free money under pf.If you assert that your relatives were superior because they could borrow funds to support you and provide you with money for consumption, then why were they ousted?
They left the country in a state of bankruptcy, and now you wish for their return simply because you have been benefiting together.
You failed to repay the money you borrowed, thereby exerting additional pressure on the economy.There was no economic growth during that time.
Your animosity towards HH is rooted in tribal sentiments and the fact that he defeated you in the 2021 elections, preventing you and your relatives from exploiting and profiting from public resources.
Continue to dream, but do not provoke us to insult you.
When you use insults to debate, it means you have developed an airlock in your brain. In simple terms you have stopped thinking.
Is she a relative of yours or merely a friend? Why are you supporting her? She was appointed during Lungu’s administration, not based on merit, but solely due to her name. The truth cannot be concealed. This woman is known to be tribal; we are aware of her. Do not attempt to appear intelligent here.
She is a humanbeing made in the image of God and therefore entitled to some dignity. That is why I am defending her.
I comprehend your perspective, my leader. I recognize your line of reasoning. However, you are aware of the alliances this woman has maintained throughout.
Mr. Musonda learn how argue with proper reasoning rather than insulting. We are all Zambians please.
This is the same woman who failed artists when lead Zambia sports council, but today she wants to sound wise, truly wonders shall never end. She also led ZNBC board, and we all know how poor ZNBC was performing under her leadership of the board she led.
Ba Musonda, we don’t have to have the same perspective for us to live together. Diversity enriches our lives and is the very basis of human progress. We should not feel threatened by those who see things differently.
What is important is maintaining mutual respect even when we are on opposite ends of an argument.
