Insulting women is the lowest level any political party or disgruntled politician can go, All People’s Congress (APC) leader Nason Msoni has charged.
In his Facebook comment on a Daily Revelation story quoting ruling PF central committee member Paul Moonga’s attacks on Tamara Ngozi’s ALungu song, that she sung it because she was suffering from prolonged periods, Msoni stated that he was shocked to hear the words from Moonga.
“How can you insult like that. Insulting her is in essence insulting all the women. Insulting women is the lowest level any political party or disgruntled politician can go. Indeed change is a must for Zambia. Am shocked to the core. This is an absolute disgrace to the entire PF leadership. women this party does not deserve your vote,” stated Msoni.
“…may be she has prolonged periods. She has a problem. When women are sick with prolonged periods they can say anything. Mentally she is not stable she is handicapped. So let her just enjoy whatever she is enjoying,” Moonga said to Daily Revelation. “Wamene Tamara umu uze uyo if you have prolonged periods go and see a doctor, leave Mr Lungu alone he has no time for such stupid characters like that.”
Moonga said as opposed to the issues Tamara was raising, President Lungu has brought massive development into the country, including the three international airports in Lusaka, Ndola and Livingstone. He also mentioned the massive upgrades to hospitals like the Levy Mwanasa, plus universities, roads and schools constructed across the country.
“So it’s such characters who are sick. And when a woman has prolonged periods she becomes so unstable. She needs a psychiatrist. Uilembe So chabe the way it is,” Moonga said, calling in a minute later after the first call had ended and unloading more: “I think she is suffering from fibros let her go to Levy Mwanawasa Hospital, because sometimes fibros cause prolonged periods.”
“But you are insulting women?” the author asked him.
But Moonga said he was talking about this specific women, in the same manner he was talking about opposition UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema when talking about his Tonga tribesmen.
