LUSAKA ECCO Mens Cheja Sandals Warm Grey Olive Oil Australia , July 24 (Xinhua) -- A former Zambian minister who has been expelled from the ruling party said on Monday that he will not sit idle but fight his expulsion in court.
On Saturday, the Central Committee, the highest organ of the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) expelled Chishimba Kambwili, who was information and broadcasting minister for alleged indiscipline and causing divisions in the party.
But Kambwili said in a live interview on Muvi Television that he was going to challenge his expulsion in court because procedure was not followed.
The former minister said he was among the founder members of the party and would not like to see it divided, adding that those accusing him of causing divisions were lying.
"I am going to court to save the PF from collapsing because if we leave PF the way they want us to leave it ECCO Chander Classic Fisherman Sandals Black Australia , I am telling you the consequences will be too grave to contemplate. And in any case, when you know that people want to push you out, it is not a good idea to surrender, you have to fight to the bitter end," he said.
Kambwili ECCO Mens Yucatan Sandals Black Mole Australia , who was fired as minister last November, further revealed that he has tried to seek an audience with President Edgar Lungu to deal with the perceived divisions in the party but that this has failed.
The former minister has been accused of being among top members of the ruling party with presidential ambitions.
But the central committee of the ruling party has settled for Lungu as the preferred candidate for the 2021 general elections although this was subject for approval by a general conference to be held in 2020.

China's next generation of stars taking cue from career path of retired Grand Slam champion
Li Na's Grand Slam wins did miraculous things for tennis in China, but experts say a cultural shift away from central planning towards individual development is needed if the country is to emerge as a powerhouse in the sport.
Tangible evidence that China is embracing tennis comes in the form of the Wuhan Open's new, 15,000-seat stadium ECCO Mens Yucatan Sandals Tarmac Black Australia , opened by Li last month, which has a capacity similar to Wimbledon's Center Court.
Steady crowds and the presence of 12 Chinese players in the women's top 200 - behind only Russia, the United States and the Czech Republic - also demonstrate the game's upward trajectory.
Much of the growth is directly attributable to Li, Asia's first Grand Slam singles champion who won two major titles before she retired on the eve of last year's inaugural Wuhan Open.
But many observers believe China might have an extended wait for its next Grand Slam winner.
Li Na's stand set new standard
Simon Chadwick, professor of sport at Britain's Coventry University Business School ECCO Mens Soft 8 Slip On Black Australia , suggests China needs a cultural rethink.
"The factory-style government development of athletes might work in sports such as gymnastics. Tennis is different ... it requires a very clear and simple focus on individuals," Chadwick said.
"Unless China embraces this notion then one imagines that the country will find it difficult to enable the type of cultural change that is required to promote the sport's development."
Li, who at a young age was ordered to abandon badminton for tennis against her will, famously took a stand to split from the state system in order to organize her own sponsorship and be coached by her husband.
It took years of difficulty and media sniping before she finally made it big late in her career, becoming a superstar in her home country ECCO Mens Soft 8 High Top Black Australia , complete with a bronze statue in her native Wuhan.
Jorge Salkeld, a Women's Tennis Association board member and senior vice-president at Octagon Tennis, the Wuhan Open's promoter, said the "Li Na factor" has seen the popularity of tennis in China surge.
Provincial governments have quickly come on board, developing tennis academies and domestic championships - although regional rivalries are a difficult distraction for Chinese players.
"Sport is all state-funded and if a province is a winner in whatever national games then they are even more centrally funded ECCO Rugged Track Gtx Moc Tie Mocha Australia ," Salkeld said.
"The tricky part is that the provinces' main objective is to win the national games, which diverts attention away from the professional tennis tours.
"When a player needs to be training on clay to prepare for the qualifications for Roland Garros, or grass to prepare for Wimbledon, they have another schedule going on at the same time. So that has created problems."
However, it is clear that China has embraced the sport ECCO Transit Slip On Moon Rock Australia , and when that happens, things can move quickly - and in unexpected directions.
Yi Guoqing, tournament director and general manager of the Wuhan Sports Development Institute, said it took just two years from the start of negotiations for the Wuhan Open to become reality.
He compared tennis in China to the market reforms under Deng Xiaoping - dubbed "socialism with Chinese characteristics" - which allowed it to blossom into the world's second largest economy.
"The government means making the policies, the hand of the market is the participation of the society ECCO Collin Casual Slip On Black Australia ," said Yi.
"Not only in tennis. The whole economy of China is taking the same road. It is c. |
