“I want to warn ba PF…now that I have filed in successfully, do not try to misbehave. From now on going forward, no UPND member should be harassed in Mandevu. Should they try to misbehave, they will know who I really am”.

“Let’s all go flat out and campaign for our party and the president. No one should be left behind. Abantu pantashi, umuntu wabantu, umuntu pabantu”, he said to the jubilating crowds as he coined his new campaign slogan.
