WE ARE NOT UPND PRAISE SINGERS!
The tendency by the UPND praise singers to denounce us and those with foresight for telling their leaders the truth should come to an end. They want to turn Zambia into a dictatorship in which everyone should think, dream and view the world in the same way.
We maintain our humble position that it’s not wise to raise our people’s hopes very high over this debt restructuring deal. Yes, it gives us a sigh of relief. But this guarantees us nothing.
Our economic recovery is not simply about debt restructuring. More than debt restructuring needs to be done to give our people a better life. We had complete debt write-off under HIPC, what and how much economic prosperity did that bring us?
Our friends in the UPND and its government seem to have the misconception that it is all about agreement and harmony.
They want everyone to sing praise songs even when there is no praise to sing about. Was Mr Hakainde Hichilema and the UPND praise singers for the previous governments? Did Mr Hichilema ever praise any previous government for anything? Why do they want to change the rules of the game for opposition now that they are in power?
We wish them well and we all look forward to a speedy economic recovery as Mr Hichilema has promised yet again. We want to see our country and our people to do better.
Our people do not deserve more lies and false hope. They deserve nothing but a truthful and honest leadership.
Fred M’membe
President of Socialist Party
Fred, you have just demonstrated your lack of understanding and ignorance proving that you are incapable to lead the nation. Thank you for that.
Sadly my sincere observation too. Objectivity and Maturity in analyzing national issues is absent.
His preoccupation now is venting his anger and trying to creat enemity with our neighbours. We absolutely don’t need this type of leadership representing us. The narrowness of mind is absolutely dangerous.
This man, Mr Membe, is jealous, bitter & evil.Nothing human and sensible comes from his mouth. His hatred of HH will make him kill his own children one day. And he is old aged ; not fashionable of a person of that age to harbor this type of hatred towards a fellow human being. Just because him and Lungu never wanted HH to be president !
Quote. “We had complete debt write-off under HIPC, what and how much economic prosperity did that bring us?” 10 years after the debt write off your MCS & ECL govts acting like alcoholics put out of rehab went straight to the nearest pub and kachasu den to undo all the work that had been done in rehab. 1.25 Eurobond for ZRL mismanaged with that impostor CC who was sold to us as a crush specialist, morphed into a high speed railway specialist and recently wanted to pass off as a mining specialist. The party that laboured for debt relief was FTJ, LPM & RB’s MMD.All of home your post newspaper abused, probably leading to their premature deaths. When MMD left the ecomy was growing by 8%. Your much touted PF which your Post newspaper campaigned for behaved like the incurable alcoholic. By 2021 when PF was kicked out the economy was shrinking by -3%. I have never seen such hypocrisy and cruelty from any one who aspires to lead our zambia.
Meembe: ” The tendency by the UPND praise singers to denounce us and those with foresight for telling their leaders the truth should come to an end”
Me : “The tendency by Meembe to denounce EVERYTHING by government and his belief that he is the savior ( Jesus) for Zambia is worrying.
Equally, the tendency by Meembe and his likes of thinking that anyone who opposes him is a praise singer is equally worrying
Meembe thinks only him, and no body else in thus Country is intelligent! If he was what he thinks, why wash his post closed? He is going to yhd 70s , why has he, all these years, not become president? What he has achieved is to tarnish images of people he doesn’t like using his Post propaganda until Lungu closed it down!
Well, Fred is telling the truth.
Why do people that tell the truth during this short era of UPND get insulted? Should we all become liars like Hakainde?
Vote wisely in 2026.
Yes, will vote for HH wisely.
IndigoTyrol,one of the luminaries left in your generation. Manomambulwa et al are a throwback,hence the lack of supratentorial reasoning. Fred is of course right to worry about all the 10 provinces of Zambia!!!
I agree that the debt restructuring is a major achievement by the UPND government and we need to celebrate. The PF tried to echieve the same feat but failed lamentably because they lacked fiscal discipline and political will to bite the bullet. They kept dancing around the issue in the hope that somehow it would resolve itself.
However, even as we celebrate this milestone, let us not be overly optimistic and build our hopes too high. We still need to work very hard to repair the extensive damage done by the reckless PF regime. Debt restructuring won’t automatically translate into a buoyant economy.
This Fred chap needs to shut his stinking mouth before a chikala gets in there
Satan nyoko
My baboon thinks better this him
Insoni ebunthu….you are just ashamed that finally the deal is done against your evil wishes. You wished doom and failure now shame on you.
