Zambian president Hakainde Hichilema’s party, the United Party for National Development (UPND)’s spokesperson Joseph Kalimbwe has warned President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s spokesman George Charamba against bullying him and his boss.
Charamba has been making careless statements against Hichilema, Kalimbwe and the UPND since the party won elections in Zambia in August.
On Monday he posted: “I merely send warm felicitations, my dear Comrade!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣How is Zambia?? Saw the boss yesterday. He gave a good speech!!!” he said.
But Kalimbwe warned him against mocking the Zambian leadership.
“No Charamba, you must cease. You and your comrades always come here to bully me and laugh at our leadership. But if I say something, you and your comrades go to complain, issue statements and say I am not respecting elders in Africa !!!” Kalimbwe said.
On August 24, Charamba labelled Hichilema a “sellout” over his association with opposition MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa, following a similar attack in May.
One of the attacks was made while Mnangagwa was in Zambia for Hichilema’s inauguration.
The UPND is seen as close to the MDC Alliance after inviting its leaders, Chamisa and Tendai Biti and other opposition figures in the region to Hichilema’s inauguration.
Zanu PF last week however, said it was making efforts to engage Hichilema over social media rants targeted at Mnangagwa’s government by Kalimbwe.
The ruling party acting spokesperson Mike Bimha said Kalimbwe’s social media posts mocking Mnangagwa’s government had the potential to damage relations between the two presidents.
“Even if I have issues or concerns with the ruling party in Zambia, there are proper channels that should be followed by both parties to communicate, not through individuals,” Bimha said.
“I cannot just come out and make public comments about the ruling party in Zambia or vice-versa, there are channels that should be followed.” Nehanda Radio

Tawanda Kuwana if u see this as not news worthy you really havent marured enough to know this is affecting our diplomatic ties with Zambia. So if u dont see its relavancy you really dont the meaning of relavant
Let them show Mnangagwa, kuti nguva yekutonga nechigandanga yadarika, kutongoita maelection zvakanaka, adyiwa obva, ndoozvinotobatsira.
HH exposed his political inerptitute by inviting an opposition leader from a neighbouring country on his inauguration ceremony. This strains deplomatic relations HH is dancing on slippery ground in regard to international relations. HH must focus on delivering what he promised the electorate than his administration wasting time on Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is to big for his administration to handle. In spite of all the problem Zim is facing …Zambia has a lot to do in solving its own economic path.
Emmanuel Mwasangwale As a sovereign state Zambia is entitled to it’s obligations with regards to their foreign policy which is not subject to verification by anyone, not even the bloody regime across the Zambezi river and there’s nothing you can do about it.
The era of vain and vile threats is over
Tonderai Chamusingarevi so HH regime should leave Charamba alone as u noted Zimbabwe is also a sovereign state…let him say what he wants.
Tonderai Chamusingarevi again HH regime are political amatures .. can he make diplomatic relations with an neighbouring oppositions party? Which it’s future to become a government is blink?
Emmanuel Mwasangwale the Zambia regime is siding with the people of Zimbabwe they know what it feels like being ruled by a vindictive regime
Marvin Sithole which people..or some people…you can not dictate to all Zimbabweans..that’s the mistake you make..you think you and all Zambians represent Zimbabwean’s political views? Is that what you call democracy?
Emmanuel Mwasangwale you know nothing about zim I don’t think you are hh supporter you are from the defeated party you can’t also speak on behalf of all Zambians lust shut your bitterness due to your loss in e election
Emmanuel Mwasangwale Too big how, you don’t enforce friendship it comes natural, where is that stupid law which forbids President elect to invite friends in the the opposition?
Emmanuel Mwasangwale wakafura njere ukasiya dziwa here Zambia made Zimbabwe in a million ways ko iwe hauna kudaidza girlfriend yako pa funeral here
Dion Shumba your anger is not my problem..seek help somewhere not on me. On issues of politics..wakasarira kumashure semhata yembudzi.
Emmanuel MwasangwaleEmmanuel MwasangwaleEmmanuel MwasangwaleEmmanuel Mwasangwale hongu ndingave mudiki pa politics asi handizomboiti sewe 41yrs uchiri kufunga sa Nzeni wakanyanya shaa
Dion Shumba wasting your time on me about my age etc….ugodii? Kupupa furo ne social media just because someone is not on the same page with you. That’s my name boy…handizvivanze.
Joseph Kalimbwe your Charamba has nothing to write about now😂. Uyu cadre wa pf alibe nzelu
Zambia is a sovereign state and it’s foreign policy is not subject to verification by anyone, not even the bloody regime across the Zambezi river can contest that.
The era of vain threats is over.
George Charamba I duzvi wakamboonepi munhu anoshandawo ku Zimbabwe achigara ku Europe
Zanu yasara kuenda bcz as far as l can see hapachina nyika ichafarira hutongi hweZanu excerpt vanowana zvishoma kubva kuzanu yangova gomera uripo
He is a president of our neighbouring country. He maybe a boy to you but he was elected by majority Z… https://t.co/rzWoiJiX9M
HH was called a puppet by the same Charamba before and after elections so why should he respect the bad mouthed neighbour?
Someone should tell this Hichilema character and his outfit to disengage from opposition politics mode and realize that they are now the ‘ruling party’. NechiShona tirikuti Zambia is now under UPND regime…
