Masebo finally goes to bed with "useless"Sata

Chongwe Member of Parliament, Sylvia Masebo has finally defected to the opposition patriotic Front-PF-ending speculations following her decision not to apply as a parliamentary candidate on the MMD ticket.

Speaking in Chongwe when she defected to the opposition Party Ms. Masebo however, admitted that the MMD under President Rupiah Banda has done some developmental works but not enough to warranty him another term of office.

Ms. Masebo claimed that all the projects credited to President, Banda were started during the late Levy Mwanawasa’s government.

She has blamed the late President Mwanawasa of having left problems for Zambians by leaving president Banda as leader.

She said the late President brought Mr. Banda from the farm, who is now allegedly giving Zambians problems.

She claimed she now feels like her real self for the first time in her life because she was treated like a leper in the ruling MMD.

She has also predicated that this year’s elections will be held in August.

Ms. Masebo said she did not defect from MMD before to avoid a bye-election which would have cost the nation.

She has further promised to help Patrick Mwanawasa to campaign in Kafulafuta, as a parliamentary candidate.

Among the people who attended the rally was former health minister Nkandu Luo and other ex-ministers from previous regimes.

And welcoming Ms. Masebo, Mr. Sata described the Chongwe iron lady, as an arrogant but sincere worker.

He told the gathering that Ms. Masebo had problems with Republican President, Rupiah Banda because he does not know her.

Mr. Sata, however, said the PF is capable of taming the mischievous Ms. Masebo.

He also said Chalimbana College should be upgraded to a university level a pledge he made in 2008 in the run-up to the presidential by-election.

Mr. Sata further dismissed allegations that he hails from Mbeya, in Tanzania.

He claimed that government has sent some journalists to go to Tanzania and create stories that he is Tanzanian.
