Zambia First President Kenneth Kaunda on Wednesday received defector to ruling Patriotic Front – PF and urged others to join and support President Michael Sata.
One wonders what the founding president of Zambia is upto and in what cotext he was receiving a politician joining the PF. Former presidents are expected to be none partisan and not active in politics.
But on 13th December 2012 when receiving former Deputy Minister in MMD Jazzman Chikwakwa who was joining PF Dr. Kaunda asked Zambians that mean well for the country to support President Sata’s quest to develop and unite the nation.
He said himself Dr. Kaunda is proud to support President Sata because whom he said was making positive strides in uniting and developing Zambia.
Dr. Kaunda explained that President Sata has embraced citizens beyond ethic, political affiliation as enshrined in the one Zambia, one nation motto.
He said he was glad to welcome Mr. Chikwakwa first before being welcomed by president Sata himself later. Chikwakwa said he was happy to be welcomed by Dr. Kaunda in the PF and support Mr. Sata.
But while Sata was in opposition, Dr. Kaunda told Zambians not to vote for him as he was not suitable to head a country. He said Sata was better to work under someone.
I am sorry to say, I once had a lot of respect for the old man. But I am now questioning his integrity. Isn’t this the man who once said Sata was no Presidential material who was only fit to work under some one? Ba Tata ba Kaunda please slow down and leave these things to the young generation to be fighting. It is no good to loose respect that you hardly worked for for 27 yrs. You do not need to keep talking for the the nation to keep remembering that you were once our beloved President please keep the respect you once commanded ikaleni tondolo mwala ifuna it is a young generations game now.
To say Jazzman Chikwakwa is a defector is a mockery of the word defector…from what has he defected?Who was this man? What political influence if any at all does he hold? The Lamba speaking people have moved on to the younger generation of politicians not these old junks Phuuuuuleaseee!!!!Zero net effect.
surprising…but most of all ‘
shocking’
