United Party for National Development (UPND) leader Hakainde Hichilema has paid tribute to the Chipolopolo boys following their victory over Mozambique and subsequent qualification to the 2015 AFCON to be held in Equatorial Guinea.
The opposition leader took to his Facebook page to express his joy over the Chipolopolo”s away victory over the Mambas. He also thanked the boys and expressed hope that the win would unite the nation.
He posted the following:
“I predicted and prayed for victory for the Chipolopolo boys yesterday and thank God they made it via a lone goal from Given Singuluma.
Like I said it was not an easy game especially that the Mambas even had a penalty saved by our goalkeeper. And we kept arguing as to whether Mozambique did not deserve that goal which was ruled off-side.
But anyway, from my calculations, we are back to Bata and Malabo in Equatorial Guinea for the 2015 Africa Cup finals.
With 8 points our kitty I think we are guaranteed at least a second position in this group even if Mozambique were to win in their last match against Niger on Wednesday since the deciding factor is the head to head.
For me and the rest of Zambia, I wish to thank our boys for the deserved victory and please lets remain united and peaceful as a nation even in celebrations.
Depending on my schedules, I might again suspend politics and watch the remaining match against Cape Verde this Wednesday.
For today it is iyeeee, chipolopolo……….”
Thanks HH for the message that brings joy and oneness in our peaceful nation. Most Zambians love sports especially foootball. We cherish your envolvement. Never pay attention to destructive minds like acertain Pondo. Pondo probably is a freemason and probably a poor fellow who thinks anyone rich is a satanist, a thief, corrupt or otherwise. Please Pondo and others should learn to appreciate other people like the hard working HH. Their hatred for HH won’t help them. They must be objective and critisise where need be than showing evil intentions on the next Zambian President. Vote HH and UPND for real planned development.
HH should never use the name of God coz he is a freemason
HH, whenever you open your mouth, a lot of sense comes out. You give us a lot of confidence and at least for once, we can have a president whose words are predictable. I believe that the highest quality of a leader, before anything else, is to make people proud. Sorry to my departed Cobra, maybe he won my vote, but never my confidence and pride in him.
Well spoken my president, indeed we are Wining this one.
The next president has spoken!!!
HH, I see a lot of peace in you. I see a lot of hope in you. I see a lot of organization in you. I see a lot of stability in you. I see a lot of compassion in you. I will take a chance on you
Thanks HH, we are following your advice of a clean mature campaign. We are selling our message of hope to the people. We respect our colleagues in MMD, PF, NAREP, and even Cosmo Mumba assuming he has people, we respect all of them as per your advice, we are one people as Zambians. Some people call us tribal but we know this is just meant to distract us. Let’s pray for our cohesion as a nation even in our diversity. You are a good man we know. Kabamba Chisha
Please keep being good when you take over, we already have a bad experience when we were lied to by the PF. I pray that you keep your word when you cone in, we are resolved as Zambians to give you a chance. Your probation is in 2015, if we see you behaving like PF, we will sort you out in 2016 , period. You are well educated, energetic or is it youthful, already proved yourself in the business world, translate that success to the nation as it’s leader, be national in character, I think you are , though your opponents are brainwashing people that you are tribal. When MMD came in power, UNIP remained only in eastern province for a long time and nobody called them tribal. I am personally from Petauke but because I am objective, I see your strengths
Thanks HH, I am a ngoni warrior admiring your maturity.
