Stand up for Zambia producer Chanda Chimba (III)

Second Republican President Dr. Frederick Chiluba has dismissed media reports that he is part of the sponsors of Chanda Chimba III’s MMD propaganda.

Dr. Chiluba says the insinuations are untrue which are meant to demean the status of his office as second republican president.

He says he does not owe anyone an explanation over the allegations because they are false.

Dr. Chiluba through his spokesperson, Emmanuel Mwamba states that Stand Up for Zambia producer Chanda Chimba has his own financers, and that he is not one of them.

He says such allegations should not be believed by anyone because he as has no association with Chanda Chimba.

Information circulating on the internet has named Dr. Chiluba, as one of the sponsors of the newly published Stand up for Zambia Newspaper.

Others said to be sponsoring the newspaper are Ben Mwila, Katanga province Governor Moses Katumbi and the MMD Task force fund.

  1. He should start looking where to hide his tail when PF comes in power. He is a hungry chap with no morals. Hope he has finished paying for that Caldina he got on credit and failed to pay for some time back. He must be swimming in dirty money now.

  2. Chanda Chimba is a bonafide Zambian with same constitutional rights and privileges Mmembe and his sensational Tabloid is enjoying in a democracy. He has full rights of speech, associated, enterprise and opinions as anyone of us. If he is enterprising in what gives him happiness, creates jobs for others, pays tax and serves his country, what is the whole issue here? Is it wrong for this man to actualize his potential in a democracy? Is it wrong to par the sensational tabloid of Mmembe? Democratic Zambia under democratic guardians MMD treasures citizens’ rights of entrepreneurship and free speech. If there is anything that this initiative constitutionally contravenes, we have the constitutional and civil courts of law to run too. Let someone institute tools of a civilized society.

  3. #7 u are on record that the post is rubbish, why encourage a sane adult in chanda chimba to “par the Post”! You cant do better than the post, ki ma rubbish, kima sholi!!!! ;)

  4. Leave Chanda Chimba alone. Just counter what he says intellectually.Threatening him with ”sorting” is on the primitivity side. This can only come from thugs , not a politician worth his salt. He has not insulted anyone.

  5. #7 IF WE SET UP ANOTHER STAND UP FOR ZAMBIA TO START DISCREDITING RB FROM HIS PRIVATE LIFE OF MARRYING A YOUNG LADY LATE ME SAY A DAUGHTER, TO SUCH THINGS LIKE KILLING OF INNOCENT LOZIS, WHAT AR U GOING TO SAY? AND THIS IS NOT CAMPAIGN TIME. TUKA KADILINGA KA CHANDA CHIMBA….TIME IS TICKING HE SHUD PRAY HARD.

  6. The democracy we ushared in 1991 and we keep treasuring does not inihibite or impede free speech, association and entreprise of citizens. It is neither predicated on terms of a few rascals who thinks what they want is what a free Zambian should do only. the buck of this democracy is on tenants of free minds and creative society free on choice.If chimba has a serious need and need professional advice in becoming a vibrant and successful entrepreneur, i would Gladly guide and expose him on opportunities and incentives.

  7. PF thugs must learn from consecutive MMD administrations which have kept thriving on records of progress against years of deluded tabloids. Despite unlimited access to powers tools which could easily and summarily asphyxiate sensational tabloids a brink of an eye, MMD has stayed the course of rendering tabloid useless in a free space environment by staying focused on service delivery to Zambians above self. They are delivering hospitals, schools, roads, food and emerging social security, national and regional stability and wealth creating opportunity to all hardworking citizens. Its therefore sheer wastage of time and day dreaming to think the right of speech of Zambians will get actualized on terms of kaponyalism in a democracy.

  9. Chanda Chimba is doing a great job, so is Mmembe. People in my village had almost forgotten about who this Sata really is until Chanda Chimba iii came on the scene. Clearly Chanda Chimba’s impact is being felt, especially in the rural country side just like Mmembe’s impact in the urban.If the Chanda can continue with his hammering for the next 3 months only, Shang’ombo, Sikongo and Sinjambela would decide the outcome of the new next elections once again.

  10. There is no need for Sata and his kaponya to enter into his final cardiac arrest phase because I’m very sure sure that Chimba is not sending invitations cards to PF kaponyas. The man is entering the free market economy with a product of choice like anyone of us do. The market has a right of choice to buy or ignore it based on perceived value. If Chimba’s reflections based on what the tabloid has said over the years on Sata is an issue with kaponyas, stay away. And if he has no audience, why the bothe?

  11. Try Conduct yo own. survey. That TV programm has earned Sata so much sympathy. And negative results for RB.

  12. #6 Senior Citizen. Mmembe does not use govt facilities to insult his opponents. Get the arguement right. :-\”

  13. #12 ba senior citizen,we pf thugs cant see what you are talking about,the govt is only sponsoring approx 15000 out of 350,000 school leavers to higher education,the few zambians that work are being over taxed while the super profitable mines are contributing little,they are insufficient drugs in hospitals which i must mention are dirty and understaffed,recreational facillities are run down,corruption rampant,fuel prices have gone-the highest in the region,transport expensive,food expensive.You want us to shut up???

  14. I bought a supper slim sumsung and they charged me k36k toward tv levy to be watchin chanda chimba program.

  15. Is there any level of intellect in what Chimba writes, I wonder? Well only a confused mind can buy such rubbish! No wonder Chiluba is disowning sponsoring adverts.

  16. This negativity directed at Sata will only backfire and help him earn him some sympathy votes! See what happened in Scotland a few days ago!

  17. The next big project undergoing currently is the compiling of all the ‘POST NEWSPAPER’ issues on SATA during the runup to the 2006 general elections when the Post was supporting Mwanawasa. Headlines like :”Sata not our Messiah”,” Sata to free Chiluba of all corruption charges when voted in”,Sata to expell all Chinese”, “Derick Chitala betrayed Mung’omba-Sata.”, “Sata is a Mad Man-Mulongoti”, “Only Pact can remove MMD-Sata” etc.These publications will once again refresh voters minds and probably help Sata win the elections!!! People in Zamabia easily forget! What Chanda Chimba is doing is simply to remind us. Period

  18. It’s good that even LT which an MMD platform has acknowledged that what Chanda Chimba does is MMD propaganda. My fellow Zambians in the MMD and your chanda chimba will be swept together by the unstoppable wind of change.
    No doubt,Sata will be on the throne soon and very soon.
    Be part of the ballot revolution.
    SATA MICHAEL AND PF COME 2011.
    BEWARE OF SMALL TRIBAL PARTIES WHICH SPLIT VOTES.
    PABWATOOOOOO MWAMUKOLOOOO.

  19. I recently travelled to Zed for Easter. A friend called me to listen to Chanda Chimba III documentary. My impression was that the guy really prepared himself and presented facts. Initially I just heard about the documentaries. This time round I even saw extracts of statement made by the people he talked about so it was easy to form an opinion from the documentary. If these were not true Chanda Chimba III would have been sued by politicians who rush to the courts even when they know they have no prospects of winning the court case.

  20. #25 K. Mulanga, sounds stupid to travel all the way to Zambia to listen to Chanda Chimba. If you have been knowledgeable enough Chanda Chimba can be compared to Rush Limbaugh of Fox Channel, a piece of lunatic human being.

  21. Thumbs up to Chanda chimba the 3rd. Gentlemen when i first saw this programe on a paid ZNBC TV i was very annoyed but recently i ve seen the results of such programmes.This morning i was listening to radio icengalo on face the people programe.This is where i heard how people ve team up to make sure that chanda chimba and his sponsors will we see the wrath of people thru the ballot.Sata has been fairly sold so much to the electorate with programes like that.People ve become so sympthetic with Sata.i urge all that sponsoring such programe not to stop the campaign for our president Sata.for sure not dont kubeba

  22. #26 Hold your fire. I did not travel to listen to Chanda Chimba III. I went on my noble family business affairs. I have no scores to settle with anybody. If you have scores to settle with Chanda Chimba III I have none. All I have done is express what I saw and the facts that were presented. Iam mindfull of the fact that it has become fashionable in Zambia and especially by some learned Zambian colleagues to rubbish any divergent views. My view after watching Chanda Chimba;s documentary; well presented, prepared and had compailing exhibits Period.

  23. CHANDA CHIMBA – MMD ATTACK DOG

    I hope he has a very good exit strategy out of the mess he has put himself in.
    Today he is busy pocketing money from his sponsors MMD, but it wont be forever he will be crying to have been ordered by his masters. Qtn, where is his brain today?

    The wheels of history are turning and no amount of propaganda will turn the people’s revolution. the wind of change is here and MMD has now expired. Two terms is over.

    It is time to change. Good bye MMD, History pages are about to turn. Get ready.

  24. Telling facts is not insulting. Chanda Chiimba is only bring out the truth about Sata. Things that Sata has done and said. Some of these things were actually carried by The Post Newspaper. Is it an insult to say that Sata did this and said this?

  25. MWAICHE CHANDA UYI SOKELE….IN LESS THAN 5 MONTHS FOM NOW, WHOEVER IS PROTECTING YOU WILL RUN INTO HIDING,…MY ADVICE IS …SAVE SOME OF THE MONIES YOU ARE EARNING FROM YOUR DIRTY JOB, BECAUSE YOU WILL NEED IT TO SETTLE YOUR LIBEL BILLS WHICH WILL COME FROM ALL THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE SLANDERED, OTHERWISE BE PREPARED TO BE DECLARED BANKRUPT……THE CLOCK IS SURELY TICKING…TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOC,…..ABALEYA!!!!!

  26. Well, it is clear some PF blogers are twisting Chanda Chimba’s TV documentaries to their false advantage. Many descent readers on this column have not threatened The Post for its incessant (persistent) insulting languages and programmed negative fabrications against RB. Yet PF cadres are arming to the teeth to harm Chanda Chimba for telling the truth. In fact Chanda Chimba does not need donations from FTJ to air his documentaries, because this well trained journalist has merely been drawing his facts from The Post’s own database archives. This is the resaon why even both Sata and Mmembe don’t have courage to sue Chanda for libel. If they did that, then they will just open a drum full of worms for Zambians to know the true colours of Sata and Mmembe.

  27. What is it that Benny Mwila is affraid of when ever Sata seems to be doing well in politics BY jumps,, there must be some crime he has committed which Sata seems to know about

  28. Well, Chiluba will be back in court before the end of the year or to be more specific soon after the elections. I just hope he will be brave enough for once in his life to dance to the tune and not start feigning sickness once again.

  29. If mr chanda chimba the 3 has never sinned,may he continue critising ba mr sata,4 what i know only God knows the inside of ones heart.so,if God wants sata to rule zambia,let His will prevail.its my prayer that you learn to be humble.What you say might be true but do not insult .

  30. Sebana Wikuteeee! Sebana Wikute Chanda Chimba! Bushe Chanda Chimba where did you get your Journalism qualification from?

  31. What is it about PF supporters threatening CC3? Aren’t they able to counter what he is presenting thereby lending credence to what he says? I’m inclined to agree with those who call you chaps thugs by nature, using brawn more than brain.

  32. It is in fact wrong to equate Chanda Chimba The Third to the Post. The former presents their opinions and those of others as news .They are not as original as Chanda Chimba who has reached the highest level of perfection in his journalism uncomparable.Sata only needs to come out and counteract what Chimba is saying of him. The same with The Catholics.Like he exposed the Pope’s representative to zambia; is he Gillisoli? The man with clear embarrassment in his eyes asserting that gays need be given respect? Sounds to me as if the man was begging for his own defence.We have read a lot of reports about these things about catholics mostly priests.Pedophilia is too common in the church.that is why I have left it.

  33. Chanda Chimba..great news that u launched a paper..we shall be selling and buying it ..viva..you need financiers..freedom of expression!!

  34. #37 when did ZNBC present any positive response from SATA? Chanda Chimba with Lifwekelo deliberately editted what sata said on gays by removing a complete statement which said, “the laws of Zambia have put restirctions on these things.” And you call that truth? Ask Lifwekelo he will tell you that the audio recording was editted. Even LT published the full statement of that. The Truth is MMD is panicking and want to use lies though Chanda Chimba to decampaign SATA. I pity Chanda chimba and his sponsors should SATA win these 2011 elections

  35. I cannot be sponsored by Kafupi. I dont like people who grab other peoples’ wives like Elias Mpondela
