ECZ indefinitely suspends the verification after cadres fight

Share

Cadres from opposition Patriotic Front (PF) and the ruling MMD Thursday morning clashed in a free for all punch-up at Lusaka’s Nakatindi Hall where verification of presidential ballots was due to take place.

According to eye witnesses, a number of polling assistants were also caught up in the physical tussle between the PF and MMD cadres.

The fracas prompted Lusaka Returning Officer, Timothy Hakuyu to indefinitely suspend the verification of presidential ballot papers.

Mr. Hakuyu who is also Lusaka Town Clerk confirmed that a number of polling assistants were slapped by some unidentified cadres during the fight.

But MMD Lusaka District Chairman, Paul Chihande alleged that his cadre William Matalauze was slapped by PF leader Michael Sata during the confusion.

However, PF Spokesperson Given Lubinda denied allegations linking Mr. Sata to the fracas.

Mr. Lubinda however confirmed having witnessed the exchange of blows between PF and MMD cadres.

Earlier, some polling assistants who were waiting to be paid their dues refused to leave Nakatindi Hall, demanding that they be paid their dues.

The polling assistants only lef the place after the Returning officer assured them that their monies will be paid later in the day.

And Lusaka Police Commanding Officer Greenwell N’guni told ZNBC news that he sent police re-enforcements after Mr. Hakuyu alerted him on phone.

Mr. N’GUNI said Inspector General of Police Ephraim Mateyo will issue a comprehensive statement later in the day.

  1. WHY SHUD THE PF LEADER START SLAPING MMD CADRES?LET THE VERIFICATION OF VOTES TAKE PLACE IN A MATURE MANNER.LETS LEARN TO CO-EXIST.

  2. Whats this obession of being happy if you are the 1st one? Kwati twaiche sure ATASE !!!!!!!!! Mukule !!!!!!!!!! Fi cadre nafyena.

  3. PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA, LET US PUT THE INTEREST OF THIS COUNTRY FISRT. THE VERIFICATION PROCESS IS NOT ABOUT PF, BUT IT’S ABOUT THE NATION. U ARE NOT THE ONLY ZAMBIANS WHO ARE INTERSTED IN THE PROCESS. GIVE ECZ CHANCE TO DO THEIR JOB IF U TRUELY LOVE OUR ZAMBIA. WHY ARE U SO EXCITED AS IF U ARE THE ONLY POLITICAL PARTY AROUND. U HAVE LOST AND JUST ACCEPT AND LOOK FOR THE WAY FORWARD. IT’S NOT THE END START REORGANISING YOU PARTY, GO TO THE CONVESTION AND PREPARE FOR 2011.

  4. I can’t be surprised if it is true that the PF leader slapped someone. At least not after i watched him fumming when he stormed the Mulungushi during the result announcement period.

  5. Why slap him ypou should have shot him in the leg so that you leave a permanent scar. Then he would be telling his kids ati ni chi SATA

  6. A message for Mr.Sata!! Please just go home and sleep. Can’t you be a gracious man and accept defeat. The people of Zambia have voted and you lost. Get over it!
    Look at McCain in USA, he graciously accepted defeat and embraced Obama and advised his supporters to work with the new president to ensure a better country for all.
    Mr. Sata, please don’t tear Zambia apart due to your bruised ego. If you care for Zambia you will run an effective opposition to ensure that MMD and Banda are kept in check and are only working toward making Zambia better for all.

  7. This is sad indeed, Zambian we are knwn us peaceful people. So such dehaviour is un-Zambian. Where is our christianity in all this? Can someone from somewhere, which should be within Zambia stand up and do some. Ofcourse not this behaviour we are now being told. Yes if someone is saying yes i strongly believe something went wrong with these elections let them follow that right channels, not telling the officials what to do. coz if we the same people choze these officials and meaning we must learn to trust them.
    otherwise, the law should take its course.

  8. Imwe ma supporters tekanyeni mukapanya neco mwikete minwe!(you will lose what might rightly be yours). Conceding does not come easy with some of our unsuccesful candidates. I salute McCain who has taken his loss so gracefully.
    Verify the votes peacefully. If you cannot manage your tempers then filekeni! Impompo na ma stiches on your heads will take you no where.
    May peace reign in your hearts, homes and mother Zambia.

  9. maybe the slap was captured by MUVI TV …so lets wait and see the “thriller” on the evening news…. those of you in Lusaka can tune in at 18h30… those of you in diaspora wait for our confirmation tomorrow morning

  10. Whats up with these cadres fighting over a simple verification exercise.Ba Sata should not be involved in some of these dirty and unnecesary fracas.He should realise that he is a senior person being the president of the main opposition party.

  11. sata you a dictor,please should go for a convision,for Zambian to vote for you in 2011.Zambian will never vote for a self imposed leader.Please,listen to people.

  12. The only thing we learn from hsitory is that we don’t learn anything from history! Same old Vigilante Group tactics are back! There is nothing new under the sun…..or is there?

  13. This PF president never cease to amaze me,how does a potential president behave the way he does.That’s wat i mean wen i say this man does’nt deserve to be a president of any president especially ZED.HE IS A KAPONYA.

  14. it was just a planned move by mmd, they sent their supporters to coz confusion so that ecz finds a loophole to stop the verifications, cntinue bala mipela na shimbi impiya ba kabwalala.

  15. Tempers are still very very high in the city. If Rupiah were there, somebody would actually have slapped him. Let ECZ go and do the verification in Nalolo please

  16. I have always asked people to tell me why they voted for Sata,apparently no one seems to give me a good reason.However am always willing to give them many reasons why i would never vote for this man.One of the reasons why is’he is a THUG as evidenced above.

  17. And pipo call this man “sata” a leader, when he can start brawl, we should be care ful when choosing leaders and thank God the pipo rejected this thug.

  18. Think we still have Good, matual and educated Zambian PF members whom i strongly believe won’t choose resort to violence.

  19. URGENT HAVE YOU READ THE POST TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    MAUREEN HAS REFUSED A HOUSE IS SHE NORMAL HERE WE ARE LOOKING FOR HOMES AND SHE REFUSES SHE WANTS A MODERN ONE HOW MODERN CAN A HOUSE BE

  20. do not think so low of thinking that mr sata would do such a thing, even if you hate him have some respect,thugs mwalibelela ukwipaya abantu bakulaluba one,one with this unip come back.

  21. This shows you how much anger is in the nation and if I were you I would not joke about it. Like on says it took two to fught, To me both PF and MMD are to blame for this and not only PF. PF is angry at the loss and MMD would not want to be found out if they lost. So please talk to both parties for the sake of our country and future votes. I personally would want a conclusin to all this and the only way is to verify the votes and if not then it is a calculted move so that no verification takes place which will be a sad development indeed and speculations will forever be there.

  22. SATA SHOULD JUST ACCEPT THE RESULTS HE WAS TOO PROUD HE SHOULD HAVE FORMED A COALITION PARTY WITH HH AND THEY WOULD HAVE WON INSTEAD OF SPLITTING THE VOTES MMD IS HERE TO STAY COZ OPPOSITION IS DIVEDED THEY NEED TO UNIT TO GET RID OF MMD WE ALSO NEED CHANGE

  23. #25VJ You are right there is no way MMD is gonna let the “vitory” to be snatched from them. Mind you those MMD cadres were not there own their own; some body sent them to disturb the proccess and sad enough the PF fell for it.The ballots will now be mixed so much

  24. Even if its not true that Ba sata slap someone, I think its not even right for him to be seen in such groupings, I mean he’s a leader who has people to ask for such duties. Please ba sata stay at home and wait for the results.

  25. Sata will spend the night in the container at Northmead Police post, ni yenda ku mu lembesa kuli ba buju, wapya chimudala!

  26. The PF trying to brew up unnecesary commotion coz they know that the verification will not be in there favour.Come on guys if they rigged the elections then it goes without saying that they will rig the verification as well.Im sure that past few days they have been working on this verification coz they saw it coming.U ARE WASTING YO TIME.

  27. George Bush indeed you are in the bush. I could give you one reason why people voted for Sata even though your fellow nitwits failed. The reason is that we want change. As for the fracas this morning, those are UNIPIST tactics to confuse people. By the time the suspension of the recount is lifted, Matalauze and his team would have changed the goal posts. Bamudala ba Sata filekeni fye. twalibelela ifyabupuba mu Zambia.

  28. WHY FIGHTING WHEN THE BALLOT PAPERS ARE JUST BEING VERIFIED ARE MMD SCARED OF THE FINDINGS OR WHAT?. PF IS FREE TO THE VERIFICATION OF THE BALLOT PAPERS.

  29. Ba Sata you are a disgrace. Why didnt you stay at the office and wait for a report from honourable Lubinda who was present? Is this an indication that you dont trust your fellow PF leaders? Or does it mean that you feel you are the only one who can run things in PF? A prudet president wouldnt even be found in such a grouping.Where is the dignity? where? You are a disgrace to your fellow PF leadership.

  30. There is no need to verify the results you have already sworn-in your president RB,it will not make any difference.We are pa Zed where we don’t respect people’s feelings.Obama will start his white house duties in January do you know the reason? exactly why can’t we do the same pa Zed? Nomba imwe you rush tio swear in Your Banda so that surpress the truth that you rigged the elections.Iam proud to be a Zedian but sometimes Zedian leaders makes me regret it.

  31. Ba Sata nichani? just forget about the petition thing and move on……by the way, I think its about time you thought of being a farmer. au bien.

  32. THERES NO NEED TO CRY OVER SPILT MILK . ITS IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS EXCERCISE HUMILITY RATHER THAN EXCERCISE ARROGANCE. THE ELECTIONS ARE OVER NOW AND MOST OF US HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED WITH OUTCOME BUT WHAT HAS BEEN DONE HAS BEEN DONE . LETS FORGE AHEAD . IT WILL SOON BE ELECTIONS AGAIN, TIME MOVES SO FAST AND BEFORE WE KNOW IT IT WILL BE 2011.

  33. Let the votes be re-counted so that people can verify if MMD won popular vote or through tricks. PF should come down and handle the matter with maturity. MMD should also stop the delaying tactics. Let the people verify the votes. I don’t see why cadre punch ups should stop the recounting process as if it is the cadres who are doing the counting. Continue the recounting process and stop tricking people.

  34. I think even MMD caders are a problem as well, they think just because they are in ruling government they think they can do anything they feel like. PF did well to give them slaps.

  35. I BELEIVE MMD CADRES STARTED THE FRACAS JUST TO CAUSE CONFUSION BECAUSE IT’S IN THEIR INTEREST THAT THE PROCESS IS DISRUPTED. IT’S AN OPEN SECRET THAT THEY RIGGED!

  36. shame.. and sata had to witness the ballot verification process… no better things to do. this man is in shock and will collapse before long

  37. I agree with Gods beloved (|64) Time moves so fast and people die. Elections may just be sooner than you anticipate.

  38. At 73 RB must have some health issues naturally. Can the public be told what these are so that we know the health status of the new president? Could this trip to South Africa be a medical check up? The last thing we want to hear is that RB is “stable” at morningside clinic!! Since the MMD picked the old man to be their candidate, they might as well let us know his health status.

  39. SA

    Sata must have started the fracas. He has forgotten how the late Dawson Lupunga ans Ntondo Chindoloma beat him eat““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““

  40. What verification nonsense is this? Well that’s another admission of how unreliable the electoral process is. Learn to do things perfectly once and for all and stop creating room for more allowances from the poor taxpayer. You nuts or what?!!!!

  41. Napapa, chishinka Ba MMD ni Bakabwalala…….after having been led by their Master Kafupi…into theiving , theiving in the morning, theiving at lunch time, theiving at night all times theivingggggggggggggggggggggggggg

    SHAME ON YOU MMD, For sure you will answer for stealing in Heaven

  42. But why involve candres or ECZ in votes verification and why not call an independent body to conduct that exercise?? There would never be peace if you involved ECZ or respective party cadres. Please learn you Zambians!!!!!!

  43. You who are defending SATA when you were not even there are not objective. SATA is capable of doing anything, so why defend him. It is only over the weaken that this man insulted journalists using words that LT will not allow here. He also castigated the entire ECZ, calling them thieves. Now you want to defend this man, SATA. Anyway in a democracy you are free to defend him, but you must know we know him. He is rough and very provokative, probably that is why he flows well with Kaponyas. His conduct i dont even want to understand him because that would be waste of time.

  44. Its a pity they are slapping each other. just let the verification go on peacefully, No.61 you make me laugh………..you have made my day

  45. What was Sata doing there, he should have let his subordinates do the verification..now a cadre may sue the PF president for assault.. more drama to come

  46. Iwe sum-thing-4-the people watch wat u say dont try to demean other bloggers.U c why i said that most of Sata’s supporters do not hav a gud reason 4 supporting him “we wanted change” is that the reason u voted 4 him.Do u c any sense in that surely coz u might jst aswell voted 4 Miyanda.Give me a good reason and not that crap u r giving me there is no sense in that.Pliz think b4 u blog coz u r exposing yo self too much,im even forming a picture of u from hw u reply.

  47. what is ka zambia as compared to America, how long did it take to know who the winner was?,we’re still a 100years away from the ba zunguzi of this world. moreover where was mateyo the so called IG.We are no longer dull thugs.

  48. #50. Boooo,
    I agree with you. This man SATA, wherever there is confusion it’s either he is somehow there or he has actually caused it.

  49. Enesi’s supporters also ah. oh Nyama Soya or N.S. or Enesi, bakabolala! Anyone can slap anything when angered. Be greatful to the opposition because without them the government would just be sleeping & enjoying Tax Payers Money. utulo!

  50. “Cadres from opposition Patriotic Front (PF) and the ruling MMD Thursday morning clashed in a free for all punch-up at Lusaka’s Nakatindi Hall where verification of presidential ballots was due to take place…According to eye witnesses, a number of polling assistants were also caught up in the physical tussle between the PF and MMD cadres.”

    PF cadres, lyoonse ndinwe (everytime it is you). Very very sad and this shows that your leadership is failing to handle simple matter as evidenced in Lubinda’s presence who did see what happened.

    Sata’s PF, this is not a period before 1964 where Zambians were fighting for independence, please.

  51. MMD! its time you stopped playing with peoples minds. It takes too to fight. Be careful ba PF. these guys want you behind the bars by all means. Once out of the picture and one will enjoy brown envlope.

  52. Well excuted by The Govt in Power,Send Thugs 2 the venue,so as Provoke an sitchu,and suspend the whole process indefinetly..People lets Read btwn the Lines..they know tht wen this verification goz on they are gonna Fish out So many Anomallies…Shibukeni mwebantu

  53. it takes 2 to fight, are you people saying it’s OK for MMD cardes to fight but not PF? malabishi! And we are fighting for independence – from poverty among other things

  54. U guys im sure Sata was misunderstood as always.He was probally waving his party symbol and someone mistook it for a slap.

  55. Imwe ba fipwali! why are u just bent on criticising MR SATA. He’s right by slapping anyone trying to disturb the verification process because mind you, its his money he spent on campaigns and not your fathers money. its just a matter of time even nyama soya we’ll soon busy bt presidents park cuz fellow christians believe me, God does not take pleasure in seeing his children suffer. wait and see! SATA IS MY PRESIDENT

  56. iwe chi#89 lyonse you talk senceless things ant you UPND i think you are the dullest person i have ever come across shame.BUSHE those who attacked the MUVI TV CREW were PF or mmd koswe iwe.

  57. Sata will die a cadre. why dont you trust Lubinda or an snr persons in PF to be there? Sata why why dady, plse get a life.

  58. The story clearly states that polling assistants where caught up in the cross fire. So there is no way counting can continue.
    However, whoever wrote the story has missed out one of the components of a good news story. He has broken the rule of 5Ws+1H i.e he has answered the Where, the When, the Who, the What and the How. The story does not tell us the WHY? This is what we want to know. WHY WAS THERE A PUNCH UP. Some of our journalists are shallow.

  59. Why is PF’s Sata in the middle of this fracas. Doesnt the party have other officials/ senior officials that can witness the verification process on his behalf – just to avoid a situation like this? He is always doing the dirty work himself! The keys to the ZANIS van is another example. This is a sign that Sata has taken the loss very personal. Some people had to lose in order for only one winner to emerge. PF was among the lossers.

  60. Iwe chi maestro ikalafye waumfwa. Mushe oko wachiba. I was there and it was the MMD cadres who started the fracas.

  61. ATTENTION!!!!!
    reading todays paper is a clear indicatin of how bossy Maureen is.how can she honestly refuse a house saying it is not morden when she even has her own house to move in please people…..people of mazyopa are suffering without accommodation and here is a person refusing a house because she feels it is not modern???? helo does government have enough funds to rent awhole lodge for her and yet mealie meal price is going up like no mans business……what a shame….

  62. 94.DON POWER. If it was Miyanda o HH that were reported to have been involved we could hav given them a benefit of doubt,but then this is Sata that is wat he has been doing all his life in:UNIP,MMD and now PF.

  63. SATA is uncouth and uncultured its as simple as this. SATA please let the Zambian choice rule this country. you will NEVER be president of this country. Go find a farm and start fights with whatever farm animals you will be raising.

  64. My president is very vicious. Thank God it was just a slap. Had he spat on him, he (Matalauze) would have gone blind. As a part we are still carrying our own investigations. We will hold a pres briefing to state our position in as far as the behaviour of the Cobra is concerned. Becoz of his attitude he caused the boat to capside and only one naked woman survived and she was spotted on the street

  65. I think Ba Sata needs image builders, it unfortunate that he was at the verification exercise when he has Juniors to do this and report to him. One thing that surprises me is that Ba Sata’s Veep is nowhere to be seen. I think Guy Scott has been sidelined as he wanted to build Ba Sata’s image when he started threatening foreign investors. Anyway at the rate PF is sinking it will never be salvaged again. Tone down and resolve this straight forward issue like civilised people.

  66. All of you who are criticising Sata,u are stinking.Wether you like it or not,you wil never be like him.The man is comfortable and he knows issues. Can you start bathing and remove your fithy. Ubupuba,ba koswe imwe.why Jealousy?

  67. George Bush uleke fwaka. I said that’s one of the reasons. CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN, not just change yaba Miyanda. Let ba Miyanda shop in peace at Game Stores.

  68. I can understand why Mr Sata slapped him. the man is not happy he borrowed a lot of money for this compaign and those south africans will not leave the country until he pays the helicopter bill. In the meantime they are lodging at inters at Mr Sata’s expence. All those little buisneses he had collapsed one by one during LPMs time. if you are a true PF please contribute financialy liquidate this debt and start fundraising for 2011.

  69. MWAMUKOLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.IT WAS JUST A LIE.THE BOAT WASN`T EVEN IN MONGU.IT WAS ALL FALSE PUBLICITY BY A CERTAIN PAPER.

  70. 108. Chewe,
    Thank you very much the that word of of relief; we will never be like him. That gives me great relief – once again thanks!

  71. This can only happen if you are not honest in your dealings. Please allow peaceful verification. things should be done and every one convinced – this did not happen. How can you anounce results in far places eralier than a place like Kabwe?

    we need peace please so let every one be satisfied that there was no underhand methods. Verify – simple

  72. PF please engage some image bulders comprising of leaders from the Church mother bodies to help cos the man’s conduct is worrying as it seems to lead to derailment. The job of handling the hardworking leader is too heavy for Given who might soon give up!

  73. It’s embarassing that most of you don’t even know how to construct a sentence, shame!!! Express yourselves properly.

  74. SATA can’t stay away from such proceses (verification) and thus why he can’t be elected as a president just one reasons out of many….He is not a leader but a mere cadre. You can take the horse to the well but it will not drink water, thus SATA he has a party to run but he takes up duties of cadres. So he belongs their, do not blame him.

    Wise Zambians in the villages know him better than those town dwellers who claimed to be educated.

  75. Kwena zolile! Am openin a freedom for zambia movement. Am sourcing for arms! Pf we need to arm ourselves, defend our families from MAD M.D. Guys we nd to fight for our rights! Game on

  76. Please just ignore SATA and his fable minded moloons.They have run out of ideas hence they are ready to do any thing.Why resort to fighting at the time when your graviences are being responded to in time?Thats an admission of failure. So PF and MMD practice politics of maturity.Learn from what is happening in the smart USA POLITICS and civilisation.

  77. MMD planned this fracas so that people may not know the
    truth. They are trying to cheat even in verifying am sure
    that is what caused all that. ECZ handle verification of votes
    diligently and honestly dont play on people’s minds.

  78. last kicks of a dying horse that what i call it. If its true that the whole lot of sata slapped someone aand it was not out of self defence but one of his 2yr old tantrums all i can say is sue him. He cant go around doing such like its in a kindergaten play ground hes a leader and he should act like one. let the process go on its only to his disadvantage if its disrupted some of us want to see justice prevail. dont disappont us.

  79. #85 you are right, since N.S. is a minority president we didnt vote for him and that we are annoyed, let those who know how to slap slap. Why should we be suffering as if we are a cursed nation. Anyway whoever will steal our hard earned tax payer’s money we are watching. All the thieves God will punish you in broad daylight for all to see. We cant be wallowing in poverty while riggers are enjoying. Fed up those who can slap let them slap.

  80. Pa bwato where are you?you are too quiet about it and we told you on this site about the Mad Manager for PF.Shame on him, he’s even involved in the fight like Mike Tyson.
    I wish i was there to laugh at your dirty mind dictator ci Chilufya Mike Sata

    Viva H H

  81. bufi ba Sata teti bacite ifyo mwabapatafye. He was not even there
    you just want to discredit his name. MMD time will catch up with you
    for cheating. You will reap what you have sown.

  82. Surely SATA does not inspire young Zambians into politics. SATA is creating a picture that in politics it is difficult to behave honourably. There is this think called ‘remorse’; does SATA know about it? could some well meaning Zambian please introduce this thing to him, and explain it clearly otherwise he wont understand it.

  83. shuwa my fellow zambians do you think its our destiny to be poor as a nation to be beggers to be at the mercy of crooks.No its not its got nothing to do with the level of development of a country its to do with the personal development of the individual it it hurts so much to see our polititians acting like they are from the stone age. we need politacal leaders who will empathies with us not only sympathies it goes beyond that. Remeber god helps those who help themselves. So think about it

  84. THE MAN IS A BULLY AND A THUG. GOOD THAT HE LOST! TOO BAD FOR HIS FOLLOWERS. I OVERHEARD A GROUP OF KAPONYAS IN TOWN SAYING “NGA BA STA BA WINA, TUKALA BAYELA FYE MU STREE MUDALA, KABILI NABENA BALA BAYELA” (WHEN MR SATA WINS WE WILL BE SMOKING WEED IN THE STREET SINCE HE ALSO SMOKES. NO PLACE FOR THUGS AND GANJA SMOKERS AT PLOT ONE…PERIOD….THE PIPO HAVE SPOKEN WHETHER YOU CALL IT RIGGING.

  85. Nabene how can the entire president go to such a function? kuti waya mukwangala not baice elo nga twakubepesha ati ba Dadi bachisunda kuti wacita shani? pliz learn that is the job for Edward Mumbi and his team. just some administrative officers assuming PF you have a secretariat.

  86. Why are they so many Kaponyas? Isn’t it the policies of the MMD. Even Educated pipo support PF because there are not in employment so they are all classified as Kaponya’s. And who is the causer of all this….. MMD and their policies. Mind you all the political parties in Zambia have Bakaponya’s

  87. Sum-thing-4-change u r the one who shud stop smoking.Did i say that’We want change” is the only reason u hav,heh? But i bet it is the best reason u had in yo arsenal ?if it wasn’t then giv it to me coz i hav challenged u that change cannot be a main reason wen u hav 2 other candidates to choose from.Pliz tone down yo tone coz im almost done with the painting of how u look!

  88. #144. nadabwa,
    You are asking why we have so many kaponyas? They were founded by SATA and his colleague and former president Chiluba when they ruled Zambia for 10 years, yet SATA wanted Chiluba to continue into ‘third term’ as if 10 years was not enough. Now, he comes to people with deceipt they embrace him, forgeting about everything. Even some educated people join the kaponyas in embracing deceipt. This is why SATA thinks education does not mean anything – has a point!

  89. Typical of the Poor Finishers
    Typical of Sata
    Typical of these thugs
    Typical of these loosers….

    Viva HH for 2011!!!!!!!!!!!

  90. Look at this Satamania? Shame on him. He should just rest we dont even want him in 2011 please noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

  91. You my niama soyas why beating PF cadres, wait for me I will come and sale Zambia to Zimbabwe when I come back from South Africa.

  92. #97. why is it that you keep reading my opinion and truth. Please, avoid those insults and concentrate on building your PF. Have a gret day though.

  93. Let ECZ, suspend it forever, how can the entire PF leader go to such a function, the man has juniors who can do that.

    It appears the man cant trust not even Lubinda.Is that what you call a man of Action, everything its him.

  94. One thing people shouldnt forget is that when bathing we always jump into the boat, So mind cause the boat may change and you may find yourself strugling in the water.

  95. #151 Serves him right, why didnt he moved out of the way when he saw the President approaching. This world is not for the weak.

  96. Please whatever happens let us protect our leaders including sata.By the way iam not a PF supporter but i feel we need to condemn the fight and please let us leave sata as he is mourning.Remember you don’t touch the mourner mouth otherwise he will bite you.

  97. #101, why did you reteriate as PF cadres especially when the Holy Scriptures advice Christians to “[Matthew 5:39] but I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” since Zambia is a Christian nation according to our current Republuican Constitution that is in place.

    Have a blessed day.

  98. PF have you seen that Barack Obama only beat McCain by 4%. Accept defeat and disband you have a party that does not know democracy. This is not a presidency by acclamation. The crowds were there to see the Chief Clown Sata.

  99. it is because of this peaceful nature that these camels will forever be rigging, the punch ups are very healthy, i wud love to punch ka mulongoti myself

  100. People, how myopic you are! Why condemn PF alone when the exchange was between PF & MMD?
    Hypocrites, you commit adultery and only want to stone the Woman.

  101. Poor Finishing (PF)
    once your president dies the party will be no more
    better go to the convention before its too late

  102. i can assure u that hh will neva win an election in this country, he is an mmd assistatant, that is all he will ever be, his tonga vote will always help the mmd to win elections

  103. All of you Opposing Mr Sata must be MMD Cadres,Why cant you ask what your fellow cadres were doing at the verification centre when they were sure they genuinely won the election?

  104. #168. ,
    Everyone knows the behaviour of PF. If you find a goat and sheep fighting even if you may get it wrong your first reaction will be to think that the goat has provoked the sheep.

  105. As citizens of this beloved country, we should exercise maximum restraint if we want to be considered for the highest office on this land.

  106. I seriously guestion the ability of PF leader to govern his party . Im one of those who were present today when Sata physically slapped one of the presiding officers in full view of many party cadres. Shameful that Given is now protecting his boss when he was also present and even separated them. Ba lt investigate this and report.

  107. 167 VEXED
    Mutekanye ka mulongoti kuti kamiponona kaba simple in looking but tough in action. Mulelaba ati uko kubulaya mwaba mwalyaluka ba mataba

  108. give sata a farm so that he can be keeping (teka) chickens or goats since it seems he will neva rule zambia

    another 5 years for RB

  109. #108 Chewe I wonder how many sensible people would want to be like him! Anyway judging from your name, you can admire anything that hails from your place! Lack of quality and sadly your likes in town seem the majority

  110. Zambian, the issue of verification of ballot papers is not necessary for PF to claim victory. I know that the unindependent court in Zambia will allow that. But its a way of democratising the electral process in Zambia. Flaw in the last elections will be pointed out and never to be allowed in future elections. The fact is there was something fish about the MMD victory. I am not siding with PF but I would like election in Zambia to be conducted without underhand methods where some people want to rule at all costs. If there will be a bloodshed in Zambia it will caused the the ruling party definately. So we have a duty as citizens to ensure democracy is achived in Zambia.

  111. Ladies n Gents, ECZ is a non-political body and should not be dragged into party disputes. I think the elections were carried out fairly and Sata just cant concede into defeat. Lets strategise for 2011 and not instigate unncessary violence in this peace loving nation. peace out!

  112. Sata is a very good man you should apreciate him.If he was to bring confusions he ha sthe powers to do it,and today for those whose are saying all bad things about his you would have been runing up and down to find where to hide.

  113. Well said Eagle’s Eye(173).Sata requested for verification and
    recount and not mmd.We can only assume that mmd cadres were sent to
    Nakatindi to cause confusion.Where is UPND by the way? Dead and buried already?

  114. The PF Leader is simply reaping what he was sowing during Chiluba’s time, all of you Zambian Politicians take time to do good for this nation, as long as the earth exists seed time and harvest time will always be there, day time and night time will never end, today you are in GRZ tomorrow you wont be there. Like it or hate it its true.

  115. #183. BWAFYA,
    If the exercise does not meet its objective, how then can we use it to democratise the electoral process. The PF is not even participating in the NCC and is busy castigating and demonising the PF MPs who are trying to address issues in the constitution for the benefit of the same PF, and they hope to democratise the process through a petition? Democracy is belt on laws and not wishes; talking and petitioning will not change the structure of our democracy if the constitution governing it is unchanged. PF boycots the NCC but calls for democracy? I see!

  116. iwe chi golyati, indi pa lsk, u dull chap,u still dont know that the flag dont mean am not in zed. nishinga nyama soya akupeleko? mambala, ubwato bukateka whether u like it or not, nagu mu 2055!!!

  117. It is a pity that verification is now suspended indefinitely. Verification exercise was going to be a good thing and a lesson for those who dont want free and fair election will be reminded and conduct elections without malpractices. I wonder who started all these. PF you need to exercise patience as the winners will do anything possible to disrupt verification. Remember the Anti Rigging – patience pays or else lets forget about it and accept the situation……………

  118. PF we know u love sata, please look for another leader, be bold enough, Sata will never rule this country, dont have false hope, he has fought his battle and three times has sank the Mwamukolo, u PF supporters are bitter, what do expect when few of u managed to swim to the shore.

    Simple advice, find some one who can control Sata, by the way can someone tell me the PF hierachy?

    Stop crying now. I know not accepting defeat is our tradition.

    * You lose a game the refree was bad
    * You fail an exam, questions were not in the syllabus

    COME ON LETS GO TO THE CONVENTION

  119. # 194 ka vexed

    Sata has tried three times and failed. According to the new consitution we are coming up with from NCC any person who has attempted the presidency twice will be barred from any further attempts. So your Sata wil never become President. Just advise him to start farming afterall we are giving subsidised fertiliser…

  120. Imwe what verification.How can they ask ECZ to carry out that exercise?Te fyo Audit ibomba Unless bale angala fye! They will not tell us any irregularities they will find.LeTS just move on .These guys think they are dealing with babies!

  121. #197 Iwe ka vexed

    You are so annoyed that ulebodola icisungu. The word is wring and not ring like a phone. Ala mwila pundapunda fye pabwatooo mule posako namano ku cisungu.

    Napali abanda…….

  122. HH is busy strategising for 2011..while ur still verifying the unverifiable….ba Miyanda also start the preps for 2011…Nyama Soya and sata will be ancestors in 2011…

  123. Lupiya will go through in 2011if the 50+1 is not implimented.Let us forget about the verification and focus for 2011.If it is found that SATA won,nothing will change because you can easly tell that Lupiya has be give power and it wont be easy for him to accept.Let us give time atleast one month before someone is give the powers and if there is a problem somewhere it can be sorted.

  124. IS THERE NO CCTV EVIDENCE?
    I AM SURE THEY WERE CAUGHT ON CAMERA BUT THE EVIDENCE HAS BEEN HIDDEN BY THE POST. mr membe SHOULD RELEASE THE EVIDENCE OR IS HE WAITING UNTIL SATA BECOMES PRESIDENT TO USE IT TO BLACKMAIL HIM?

  125. First we all know that MMD rigged the Elections and they sent their Vigilantzi to cause confuision. What we have as government is total UNIP. Dont forget that Kaunda used to stand with a Frog I voted for the frog twice but Kaunda was never out. I can assure this country under UNIP and let’s not forget the Vgilantezi are Kaunda and Banda’s products. Vigilantezi are back wait and see. Shame!! lets remove the cadres and recount the votes simple!!!!We have the soldiers and police to be deployed to ensure that the process goes on!!!

  126. Wat is the best way of venting yo anger, let it out….hey, even punching someone helps,even better if its a political opponent because u can even give it a dignified term, ‘political tussle!’

  127. ladies and gentle men,lets be carefull what we say.I am watching muvi tv and am jsut seeing that ballot boxes for Lufunsa in Chongwe were not sealed.You know the explanation for them not being sealed?That some one forgot some important documents in them!Mind you this is during the verification exercise.The grape vine is saying Magande wants to resign and right now MMD is pleading with him.I have decided to pray for this country.MAY THE WILL OF GOD PREVAIL.BELIEVE ME THERE CAN BE SERIOUS CIVIL STRIFE If ISSUES ARE NOT HANDLED PROPERLY.PF,MMD,HERITAGE,FDD,UNIP,UPND LETS UNITE AND AMICABLY SORT OUT OUR DIFFERENCES FOR THE SAKE OF PEACE.

  128. I wonder why ECZ, gives a dime to what SATA says when they know they did their job so well and that SATA is an ETERNAL loser. SATA CAN GO INTO OBLIVION NA MABOLO YAKWE He is an endless looser!!!!!! kafwileni ukutali tata!

  129. MMD you are thieves let verification be done. we want the truth. Dont provoke situation you are trying to avoid the truth to come out

  130. #216 what are you gaining by insulting people. If you don’t have something to say about it better you shut up your moth than insulting people.

  131. #217, What rigging? you people must learn to accept defeat, call a spade a spade PERIOD. No one rigged those elections, mark my words and this space. SATA lost and lost for ever this time around. Just WASTE OF FUNDS DOING THIS RECOUNT WHATEVER IT IS!!!.No offense meant to you however…

  132. #222 and 216 KINDLY LET US HAVE A NATION AT HEART AND TRY TO ALERT ONE ANOTHER BY CONSTRUCTIVELY TALKING ABOUT ISSUES THAT ARE AFFECTING OUR NATION WITHOUT INSULTING ANYONE NOT EVEN THE POLITICAL LEADERS WE OPPOSE.LET US READ BETWEEN LINES-ARE WE SAFE?LET US BRAIN STORM OURSELVES AND MOVE FORWARD…..VIOLENCE,INSULTS,INJUSTINE,BAISENESS,UNFAIRNESS,CORRUPTION AND THE LIKE SHOULD NOT BE THE ORDER OF THE DAY.GOD BLESS ZAMBIA AND WE ONLY HAVE ONE ZAMBIA TO DEPEND ON–LET US NOT TAKE PEACE FOR GRANTED

  133. Shall we all now forget about unserious characters and focus on the NCC to produce a Zambian Republic Constitution that will allow us to have clean elections and Constituitional office bearing in view of unforeseen problems like the death of a President and incapacitation.

    I personally think that we have had enough of the problem that came in due to the Chiluba MMD Administration and all those who werte part of it.

  134. DAN KALALE, PRISCILLA M’LENGA ISAACS, JOSEPH ICHABOD JALASI, CHRISTOPHER AKUFUNA ARE CULPABLE OF WHATEVER HS TRANSPIRED AT NAKATINDI HALL.

    Priscilla, your dad was a puoneering Zambian journalist he would be disappointed you are part of the national electoral fraud!!!!!!

  135. You can imagine if this thug had won the election!!!.. 2011 would have been a bloodbath. The serpernt is dangerous and the day h departs zambian politics, then we are going to have sanity.

  136. we missed an “OBAMAsque” election when rejected HH, umwaiche munankwe. BaRB tabakeshibe what “discomgooglation” means when asked at a UN function ngabayako…

  137. President RB Banda, has US President elect Barack Obama already given his Inaugural speech? This is so because you, Mr President, have been quoted saying:

    “I was very much interested to listen to his inaugural speech. I am glad that I made mine before his otherwise you would think I had copied from him. It was a very lovely, lovely election,” he said.

    Source: w w w . times . co . zm / news / viewnews . c gi ?cate gory = 2 & i d = 1225957374

    On “President Rupiah Banda says people aggrieved about the outcome of the October 30 presidential election are free to petition…” though, I am very much with you, Sir.

  138. One thing, I like about the MMD is that it has tried to follow the way US(A) politics are conducted where the Presidential candidate in not the President/Chairman of the political party which sponsors him/her but just someone who is a nominee. The MMD has now twice, produced Zambian Presidents who were not initially Presidents of the MMD party but only presidential candidates in the name of late Mwanawasa and MMD Trustee Zambian President RB Banda. I am looking forward to see the UPND and/or others to implement such in the near future. In 2006, I was hoping that the UDA would sponsor someone who was not necessary a President of either the FDD, UNIP and UPND. Let us enhance our politics.

  139. #230 THAT IS THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR ZAMBIA–PLEASE LET US UNITE AND SPEAK OUT FOR A BETTER CONSTITUTION OTHERWISE ZAMBIA WILL NEVER HAVE A PRESIDENT OF IT’S PEOPLE’S CHOICE AND INSTITUTIONS LIKE ECZ AND JUDICIARY WILL NEVER EVER BE AS INDEPENDENT AS WE WISH.
    1.A 50+1 ELECTION AT THIS TIME IS ONE OF THE SOLUTION
    2.ECZ AND JUDICIARY CHIEFS SHOULD BE APPOINTED BY PALIAMENT
    3.A VOTER AS LONG AS IN THE REGISTER SHOULD VOTE ANYWHERE
    4.LIMIT SOME POWERS OF THE PRESIDENT E.G ON ECZ AND JUDICIARY
    5.SWEARING IN OF A PRESIDENT AFTER RESULT VERIFICATION
    6.VOTING TO START AFTER ALL POLLING STATIONS HAVE RECEIVED ELECTION MATERIAL AND END AT THE SAME TIME

  140. Slip of tongue. He meant acceptance speech but there is no problem because Obama repeats himself a lot so he will say the same thing when he is actually inaugurated. By the way, repetition is the mother of knowledge and great communicators repeat themselves ad nauseum. Bad communicators contradict themselves. Today, ‘I will kick out the Chinese,’ tomorrow- ‘No what I meant is…’
    Today, ‘I oppose increasing tax on the minning companies’ and next time ‘It is right to increase tax on the minning companies.’ Today, ‘Levy is sick. He should not be president. He is corrupt and appoints his relatives’, tomorrow ‘I am the only one who can continue Levy’s anti-corruption fight.’

  141. #238, hhehhehhehhe. Have a nice day, but hey our Zambian president needs to be alert all the time so that he can make good speechs.

  142. Can we just turn to the bullet ? We have using the ballot.Enough is enough.Shame on MMD!Shame on you African leaders attended the swearing of RB-Rigged Ballot.Watch your step and keep an eye on your shoulder.

  143. #To those who support US President elect B. Obama and then MC Sata, you certainly want good thing s for the US(A) which is not even your native country, why must you need the opposite (bad things) for mother Zambia?
    Fellow Zambians, let us make sure the President RB Banda Administration gives us all Zambians a Republican Constitution we need so that the delay of 10 years (since 2001) to implement the best of all current Zambian political parties manifestoes, the UPND manifesto. It is now or never in a long time. I think, Zambia as a Nation and Country has been blessed to see what needs to be corrected in our Constitution as early as this time in the 21st Century to enable us make headway.

  144. #237, SPEAKING TIME, great posting and take careful care always. My regards to your family too. Together as Zambian Nationals, YES we shall.

  145. #216 WALITUMPA WHY SAY SUCH UNPALATABLE WORDS HOPE U NOT A WOMAN SHAME ON YOU BA SATA CAN BE YOUR FATHER BY AGE ULECHINDIKA ABAKALAMBA ULIMBWA SANA LOSING DOESNT MEAN TO BE BELITTLED BY A COCOROACH LIKE YOU WHO HAS NO MONEY DONT YOU EVER USE SUCH WORDS AM WARNING YOU NOT ONLY TO SATA BUT ANYONE BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING

  146. #244. Yes Sarah. I am a student work can never work in old peoples homes. My university is tight for such activities and so your suggestion can never for me.

    Take care though and be blessed.

  147. MR SATA LACKS SELF CONTROL AND THAT IS BAD FOR A PRESIDENT. TURN THE TABLES ROUND AND IMAGINE THAT IT WAS MR SATA WHO WAS INSULTED BY THE POST DURING THE CAMPAIGNS, THEN IMAGINE HE IS THE ONE WHO WON THE ELECTION… SOMEONE WOULD BE IN REMAND NOW ON AN UNBAILABLE OFFENCE CHARGE. THAT IS THE NATURE OF THE MAN. WHEN KK SAID THAT HE MAKES A GOOD MINISTER HE WAS RIGHT. HE IS A POLITICAL BRUISER BUT HE NEEDS SOMEONE ELSE TO KEEP HIM UNDER CONTROL, MUCH LIKE A vicious Rottweil Metzgerhund NEEDS TO BE KEPT ON A LEASH. SORRY, ‘SATAPPORTERS’ I AM JUST TELLING THE TRUTH AS I SEE IT.

  148. MVELANI LATEST MU POST NEWSPAPER MAUREEN MWANAWASA HAS TOLD THE GOVT THAT SHE WANTS A MODERN HOUE REFUSED TO HAVE THEM GET HER A HOUSE IN ROMA TOWNSHIP FOR RENT YASHANI IYOO GUYS WANTS TO REMAIN IN STATE HOUSE READ POST NEWSPAPER

  149. Kill or be killed! My policy is ‘blitzkraik’we nd more C4s’ sniper rifles( walther w2000, barett .50) assault rifles.M60s uzzis Hand guns( desert eagle.45 armour piercing.) stay away from civilian targets. The guilty must pay we need our country back from these “black maambas”

  150. #250 you’re too trigger-happy, may I remind you that he who lives by the gun shall die by the gun.

    LT, this topic is not taking us any further. While Obama is writing History, we’re busy discussing inter-party punches. How trivial! Please bring on something more progressive…

  151. Senior kaponya iwe Satamania can you stop being ridiculous together with your followers,just accept the results like John Mcain did in the US.Am beginning to wonder what could be the first interest of PF…
    Kuti wamwenafye kuli ulya confused woman who stripped naked that ba PF baliba confused nga…guess

  152. you rigged the elections now u want to annoy us,mind you dont take zambian people for granted ask emmanuel mwamba what happened to him.
    zambian people may be picefull but wen annoyed we dengerous

  153. #238 Vote rigger. What RB said was gramatically correct. Inaugural means opening, initial, first, introductory, foundational. As president elect it was his first speech, so inaugural was used in the right context. I think RB has more intelligence than some PF neanderthal behaving cardes. If we’re going to be anal maybe he should’ve used “victory” speech instead. The Post and PF supporters have displayed barbaric behaviour and funnily enough RB has risen above it.

  154. I wonder what kind of a husband Sata is.I am sure he is the kind who beats over silly reasons.Sata,I beg you, PLEASE BEHAVE LIKE A MATURE GROWN UP PERSON.

  155. people the world is progressing in leaps and bounds and we are fighting like savages. no wonder obama didnt mention his ancestrol backround in his speech. he is too embarrassed.
    we are very far from being called civilised.please lets change our behaviuor otherwise we will continue to be called the missing link of evolution while the world leaves us behind.where are the leaders of these kaponyas. why dont they say something to stop them.

  156. Maureen has the right refuse that rented house in Roma. GRZ should find a suitable house for her. I guess RB has forgotten about her as power is sweet.

  157. Guys please there was no rigging. What happened is that the Post’s Satamania crowds did not translate into the required votes. They stayed home.
    Let’s learn to have confidence in our systems and institutions as they do in U.S. Typical of us. It works like a flowchart: If you make baseless claims against the ECZ you damage its credibility, which leads to voter apathy, which leads to opposition loss, which leads to bitterness by certain leaders, which will lead to greater apathy and more losses by the opposition in 2011.

  158. Sata has shown his true colors. he is a savage who is tempermental and reactionary. qualities which are definately not presidential. people we are lucky that he didnt make it.

  159. #261.. you are also a savage. climb back up the tree you came from.
    where has fighting done any good. go to angola and see the result of war. that is what would have happened if your kind went into state house. and then getting you out would have been impossible like the savage in zimbabwe. that savage has made us know what a quadzillion looks like. we would have ended up like that in 2 years…bloody savages

  160. #255, your flag EN, thanks for your input in this “inaugural” issue. Indeed you have a correct defination, but check out the following:
    Définitions de inaugural en Anglais sur le Web :
    1, occurring at or characteristic of a formal investiture or induction; “the President’s inaugural address”; “an inaugural ball”
    2, inaugural address: an address delivered at an inaugural ceremony (especially by a United States president)
    3, inauguration: the ceremonial induction into a position; “the new president obviously enjoyed his inauguration”
    wordnet . princeton . edu / p e r l / w e b w n

    I hope this will help clarify my point!

  161. #242 I THOT YOU CHICKENED OUT YALIPWA NATIONAL MOURNING YA KWA PRESDO OBE YOU ARE HERO WORSHIPPER KWATI NI WISO GUD LUCK NEXT TIME BUT SIDNEY SHELDON WROTE TOMORROW NEVER COMES UMUNANI UNTU ULIPO

  162. PF you try to learn from america please.just accept losing like a gentleman or sorry o forgot the party is full of kaponyas

  163. Sata is alumpeni and are all his followers they are just abunche of confussion, dont seem to know what they what in their political life,HH might be younger than you can you pls emulate his good manner the quality of areal leader not nzelu zabu ego….ego.this is not kulima tower bus station were you fight over michopo yambuzi…its time you grew old and wise.chimudala.

  164. Zambians need to wake up and not let this selfish man cause havoc in the country. The man is such a bad loser and he thinks he can go around slapping people without retaliation. He should not take people for granted because one of these days people will rise up and take the law in their own hands. He is only requesting verification for publicity and a bit of attention. He knows the verification is a waste of time but has other motives – shame on him!

  165. SATAN only knows how to slap women and kids! let him try it on real men and see how he gets his backside kicked in. This is was smoking “the green stuff, iya kwa Mwale with no seeds” does to your brain cells.

  166. Which farm? he does not have one . just like Chiluba. And people wonder why the farmers did not vote for him or the people whose life depend on Agriculture. By the way if you noticed his manifesto was all about investors.. investor this, investor that…

  167. #211 you are saying you know MMD rigged, how do you know, were you privy to rigging? If you have some evidence whether circumstantial or direct why not report to the proper authorities, if this doesn’t work, publish your evidence in the papers. Saying you know MMD rigged to me is not good enough. Be factual and that’s how you can help bring about sanity where this lacks.

    I will be happy if someone took time to explain to the masses more especially to the politicians that it’s healthy to have different opinions about anything because it brings out the best solution to a problem. Teamwork, serving the country in whatever capacity.

  168. “In a dramatic turn of events embattled Second republican president Dr. Fredrick Chiluba has survived blows from angry Patriotic Front cadres, accusing him of having played a part in rigging the just ended presidential elections.In the fracas, punches directed at Dr Chiluba landed on Dr. Chiluba’s press aide, Emmanuel Mwamba as he tried to shield his boss from instant justice mob.The incident happened at Lusaka’s cathedral of the holy cross where Dr. Chiluba had gone to attend the Church Service and body viewing for the late veteran politician Elijah Mudenda.Dr. Chiluba was quickly whisked away by police while his press aide remained behind.It was at this point that PF cadres started …”

  169. #276 continued.
    “…PF cadres started beating up Mr. Mwamba but quick police action saved him from further battering.”
    Source: w w w . muvitv . c o m/ news/ pnew s251 . h t m l

    Very very sad indeed and I hope the police arrested the culprits. Zambia Forward, 2011 here we come for real and meaningful change. Viva HH and the nighty UPND – the HAND that feeds all people bringing healthy in all aspects of Zambian humans, lives.

  170. verifying what! That’s nonsense, the chi man has already been sworn in. Will Sakala strip him of the title? Nonsense

  171. I passed the scene before the fracas erupted. The place was jam packed with MMD Cadres that went to disrupt PF because they viewed it as a challenge to their win. There were electro agents also full fullu demanding to be paid their dues. There was tension in the air and some of us left because it was a matter of time even a small skirmish had potential to ignite the whole place.
    The police did not help matters as well as outnumbered. So violence was inevitable due to poor planning.

  172. #277 Mestro pwi Pwi Pwi, even in 2011 HH and UPND will lose just like everyone on htiese sites projected. the loser in this election was HH. he has reduced UPND from might It had under mazoka and u people are still failing to see this.

    UPND will never form Govt on their own. even 2011 you shall start saying come 2016.

  173. We pray that this exchange shall not spread to other parts of Zambia.Zambians stand up and start developing yourselves economically.Let us not be drawn into dwelling on the same issue-thats the elections

  174. I have a feeling that if Sata had won the election, anyone who would have dared to request for a recount of votes would have been subjected to an instant mob justice supervised by sata. PF carders should be grateful that they can enjoy liberties that sata would not have accorded zambians if he was in state house today. But like someone has already observed, and rightly so, PF carders are just applying their party symbol…the fist!! Violence is so synonymous with PF that it can be shocking to hear of a peaceful PF gathering.

  175. FTJ Chiluba,alichimona yesterday at Mudenda’s funeral.
    He was almost besten up by a pf woman who claimed that chiluba took part in rigging the just ended elections,
    i feel so sorry for the former head of state for being denied like that by the peolple he once led…
    What A Shame..

  176. The fact is that Zambia being in Africa, nothing will change now since voting has taken place and the President has already been swon in. No amount of verification, recount or petition will change anything! It’s RB for now up to 2011 (unless the Lord calls him home). Wise opposition leaders should now prepare their parties for future election when they will not be around.

  177. Sata promised you that he will not concede defeat even before the election results which means he suspected that he may not be the winner of the election cause copperbelt and Lusaka as well as Luapula was not enough, There was western provinse, parts of northern. Northwestern and Southern. He used the post newspaper to campaign for him and he hired buses with his cadres wherever he went to campaign so that the Post could take pictures of the crowds which he carried from Lusaka. He sent his cadres yesterday to insult Chiluba at the cathedral at the same time fighting and slapping people at civic centre. Plants other cadres in chongwe causing confusion all over.

  178. Continued.. I have to warn you people that this man has nothing to loose and he wants to stir up trouble. He is so power hungry that he will do anything. He cant even wait for 2011. If he loves this country so much why is he causing all this confusion. We want to enjoy our peace. Other parties have concedded defeat and are not causing all this confusion. Is this the calibre of leadership that Zambia has. Is this the best Zambia can do.

    May the Lord help us here.

  179. I feel sorry for Chiluba, hes not yet in jail but his life is like a prison….. found guilty and condemned by the general public

  180. I think the fight was long over due, thats normally what happens when elections are not free and fair.. Never will you hear a fight between domocracts and republicans, because their election are always free and fair.

  181. Zambia Police pliz kick the PF stinking ass@holes hard.They are asking for it.The dunderheads cannot see that their Chief Kaponya is now defeated for ever!

  182. and this is the thug you wanted to vote in as President? look at how gracefully John McCain conceded. Sata will NEVER EVER have the opportunity to lead our beautiful country!!!

  183. A scientific research has revealed that one out of every three(1/3)Zambians is mad and likely to be a member of the PF.Look at three of your closest friends.If they are ok,then you have cause to worry!

  184. what kind of indispline is this for these uncultured pf supporters. ala twapapata mwisabankanya ubututu bwenu muchalo chesu.surely bantu balelosha eko winga twala bumambala bwino.mulekwata umuchinshi imwe bangwele.mule kwata umunchinshi

  185. Ba Sata inga ifi? Kwena mwatu sebanya. Nabana bonse balemonako efyo mulechita? Katusheni fye shikulu twamipapata. Mukonkanye fye business filya fine ama politics kwena yami kana. Mwika fwilapofye.

  186. I don’t think the oldman Mr. Sata can sink so low even to stsrt slapping the MMd cadre. Anyway the truth will be known, we hope the returnig officer can verify the allegations.

  187. Can MMD slappers cease their acts, are’nt they certisfied with rigging and bribes they carried out to go up the ladder really? Exactly what is being done with that PRAYING MANTIS that was cought red-handed rigging for MMD during elections, is RB snoring about it as usual? dozer! Mr SATA is keeping his peace since the MMD RIGGED SO CALLED SUCCESS1 Is that again bothering MMD SUPPORTERS.WHERE IS THEIR DIGNITY? BONES AND MUSCLES NO BRAINS!SHAME ON VULNERABLE VILLAGE VOTERS. WHERE IS FREE FOOD NOW THAT THEY NEED IT MOST?

  188. TONGA’s ARE GREAT they only vote for sensible people. One Tonga guy argued that if Munkombwe was the UPND president they would not have voted for UPND. This expalins why they did not vote for SATA. So Tonga critics point your fingers elsewhere as Tribalists
