SYLVIA Masebo is a good leader who carries her people wherever she goes, says Judith Kapijimpanga. In an interview yesterday, Kapijimpanga who is a former MMD national executive committee (NEC) member said Masebo's move had come at the right time and that it was inevitable.

“Masebo has always carried along her people when she leaves. If you remember the time she left the ZRP Zambia Republican Party she left with her people and went on to win on the MMD ticket and now that she has left, the chances of the MMD winning are very slim,” said Kapijimpanga.

She said Masebo's move was not in vain because she believed there was light at the end of the tunnel for her.

“A good leader follows what her people want and for Masebo to have made that move, I’m sure her people expressed discomfort with what was happening because if this was not the case she would not have gone ahead to contest the position of MMD chairlady at the party convention.

I support her decision under the circumstances she was working in because if you cannot manage to fit in, it is better to walk out...she was forced to walk out because the environment she was working in was not conducive,” she said.

Kapijimpanga said there was need for any political group to consider every member as their child and that selectiveness should not be the case.

Masebo was until last Thursday the MMD national women's affairs chairperson. She quit the party, citing President Rupiah Banda's continued hatred and undemocratic tendencies against her.

She said since the death of president Levy Mwanawasa in 2008, there had been evil schemes and fabrications, which have been printed in the government-controlled Times of Zambia, Zambia Daily Mail including ZNBC and the internet.
