Speaking in an interview with the local Diamond TV on Tuesday evening, PF National Spokesperson who is also binoculars movement leader, Raphael Nakachinda described Hichilema as a liar, conman and explore that was bent on auctioning Zambia to western powers for few pieces of silver and gold.
According to Nakachinda, Zambians were regretting voting out PF and its de facto leader, Edgar Lungu, but callers to the program refuted his assertions, reminding him that the former ruling party lost for being bloody thirsty, evil, promoting hooliganism including tribalism which was directly sponsored by the governing clique.
