Acting PF secretary general Nixon Chilangwa has written former Lands minister Jean Kapata to exculpate herself over her insults on Chishimba Kambwili and Kanyama ward chairman Kelvin Mwaba, popularly known as Papa Gunasi.
Meanwhile, Chilangwa said there is no reason why PF should not be confident of winning the Kabwata parliamentary by-elections given the UPND lies which he said have now been laid bare before the Zambian people.
Central committee member Kapata recently told Mwaba in a recorded telephone conversation to tell Kambwili “chikala chakwe. Na iwe wine chikala chobe”, which her colleague, former Works and Supply minister and central committee member Sylvia Chalikosa described as “amalumbo”, despite protestations from Kambwili, Mwaba and the others.
But Daily Revelation has been told that Chilangwa has written to Kapata over the insults, as Mwaba himself was also written to over his other faults against the party leadership, including going after former president Edgar Lungu, whom he has described as having a unique hatred.
Contacted by Daily Revelation on the information that he had written Kapata, Chilangwa said: “Yah for me discipline is discipline no matter who has crossed the line. For me discipline is discipline, every member of the party must go through disciplinary measures if they cross the line.”
Asked if he was indicating that Kapata had crossed the line, Chilangwa answered in the affirmative.
“(She) Crossed the line,” he said.
Asked if Kapata had responded to his letter, Chilangwa said that was an internal issue, and will be dealt with internally.
Meanwhile, Chilangwa said the former ruling party will win the Kabwata seat.
“What shouldn’t give us the confidence? Five month ago is five months ago. A lot has changed, I am sure you can even see the writing is on the wall, I don’t have to go through the details. Unless you don’t live in Zambia. Unless you live in heaven,” said Chilangwa. “If you live in Zambia I don’t think you can even ask me that question. You don’t know what has changed? You don’t know that the lies and deceit of the UPND has been laid bare? So that is what has changed. Lies are lies and lies cannot hold water. Lies have got a short lifespan so people are able to see through them.”
