Mulongoti, the political wind chaser
Dear Editor
IF Diffikoti and Bikiloni, Faneke, Saulos Dorika and others think they are the only comedians in Zambia, then they are wrong.
We have many more in the political arena. Read on.
Mike Mulongoti campaigned tooth and nail for Edgar Chagwa Lungu in 2015, with a hope of being appointed vice president, however, that did not happen.
In 2016, Mulongoti changed camp to join the UPND in the hope of being a running mate.
Again that didn’t go his way either because Hakainde Hichilema the anointed UPND leader preferred a man with financial muscle in the name of Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba.
To remain relevant, Mulongoti has gone on a race of chasing the wind by claiming Edgar is now a foreigner!
At what stage did Edgar become an alien? At primary, secondary, UNZA, Zambia National Service or indeed as a practicing lawyer?
The man stood for elections as an MP, won, appointed as deputy minister home affairs, minister of defence and stood for presidential elections twice and won both.
All this time Mulongoti had no clue if Edgar was a foreigner.
Can this man be trusted? Let him join the drama series. Trade Kings are more than ready to use him for their products. Borniface Chakwiya Chongwe
