Lack of membership cards in Zambia’s governing Patriotic Front -PF party makes it difficult for one to prove their validity as members of the party. This is the dilemma that has hit Lameck Mangani former MMD Minister who was last week rejected by Secretary General Wynter Kabimba.
Zambia Reports an Online News Website reports that the embattled former Minister who heavily campaigned for the PF in Eastern province is now seeking to have an audience with President Michael Sata. He wants to personally discuss his membership with President Sata whom he says even traveled to Chipata where he was Member of Parliament at the time to welcome him into PF when he resigned from MMD.
Mangani was even adopted to contested the Chipata Central seat on the PF ticket in the 2011 tripartite elections though he lost to MMD candidate. He is however petitioning the results in court and the High Court is yet to pass verdict on the matter.
But last week, Kabimba explained that just like former MMD Minister Mike Mulongoti, Mangani’s relations with the PF in September 2011 was a matter of convenience.
Mangani has said he has asked for an appointment with President Sata to discuss his membership in PF to clear his mind. He says it is in order that he talks to Sata who is also the PF president in a personal.

if the court will rule in fevour of PF and PF chooses to leave mangan, they will loose again to MMD.
There is definitely something wrong with PF Secretary General that probably, only doctors can tell what the condition is: every week, he has to pick on someone to fight with; the list goes like, it was GBM, then Lubinda, Kambwili, Nsanda, Mangani, Mulongoti… This week, we dont know who he will pick. His upbringing must have been terrible as a child, of fighting with ‘everyone’? So pathetic…
