Let there be democracy in UPND
Dear Editor,
Allow space in you great paper to reply to Imataa’s concerns over why I have made Hakainde Hichilema of UPND my subject of confab each time I take to my pen.
That is true but I have nothing personal against him. It is just the way he carries his politics around that makes me want to say a thing or two about him.
OK Imataa as a true Zambian, how did you truly feel when your HH flew to South Africa (after feigning sickness to avoid attending court in Luanshya) purely to go and talk ill about his own country when he could have done so right here at home?
Who did he want to impress? Maimaine or Julius Malema? My foot! And did he achieve anything in South Africa? The answer is a big NO.
Those two sycophants are no better than Satan himself and Imataa you want them to be HH’s mentors, the man who wants to rule Zambia? I cannot believe you!
You see Imataa in life if you talk too much, which is not always a sign of wisdom, the danger is that there may be someone who knows something negative about you and splutter.
As for not knowing my politics, well I cannot say much but only advise your party to consider holding a convention soon for your leaders to seek a fresh mandate of office. If that happens, I will stand guilty as you have charged me.
But I bet you my life, nothing of the sort will ever take place in UPND. It is HH wamuyaya like KK of UNIP in those days. HH is UPND and UPND is HH.
But as usual (and naturally), a day of reckoning always arrives to remove such people from power.
Mark my words Imataa, HH will one day go the KK way. It is just a matter of time.
Remember KK was only shown the door after 27 years in State House.
How I wish my late President Frederick Chiluba was round, he would have told you something about people who abhor conventions.
Sorry, Imataa but for as long as HH does not humble himself before his masters, the Zambians, I included, he will always be my subject of debate until I win.
Oh, it is also nice too to know that you are an ardent reader of my letters.
Thank you so much and please keep it up.
