President Michael Sata’s press aide George Chellah was among government officials that came out strong to defend yet another diplomatic boob by the Zambian head of state at a regional summit on Friday in Maputo.
A popular website Zambian Watchdog reported that President Sata threw in a joke, albeit, in bad taste when a brewing conflict between Malawi and Tanzania was mentioned at the Sadc meeting.
Zambian President Micheal Sata interjected the chairperson’s speech to joke about the border dispute between Malawi and Tanzania.
When opening the summit earlier, Mozambican President Armando Guebuza said the regional bloc will also have to confront a brewing border conflict between Malawi and Tanzania.
But Sata saw an opportunity to joke.
“If they start fighting we are going to host the refugees,” he shouted from his seat.[pullquote]“If they start fighting we are going to host the refugees,” he shouted from his seat.[/pullquote]
The information immediately went viral in Malawi and Zambia prompting Zambian foreign affairs minister Given Lubinda to summon a harstily arranged press briefing in Maputo.
Malawians, on their breaking news facebook page, took to derogatory references of the Zambian leader calling him all sorts of names.
And as Lubinda was responding to the Zambian Watchdog story, Chellah took to the defence of his boss on facebook where a Zambian journalist based in the United Kingdom Gershom Ndhlovu questioned advisors of President Sata on diplomatic issues.
Chellah, who assumed his position as press aide after being a successful conduit of Sata’s falsehoods during campaigns when he was a reporter for the PF propaganda wing – The Post, accused those against the head of state of being bitter.
In supporting a blogger – Tina Nyirenda – who defendend President Sata from the Zambian Watchdog story, Chellah stated; “Zonda uzalema [hate until you are tire]…@Tina Nyirenda great interventions. However, my advise to you is that, not until you understand what oils the anti-Sata machinery, you will defend, explain and clarify continuously.
“Of course, they know its not true but they are bitter and would want to take advantage of some people’s gullibility and convey hate messages and jaundiced accounts of events.
“Strangely, even certain people you respect fall prey to such. Personally, am always in stitches because they have become so predictable and have lost value. Theirs is a lost cause, which is riding on tired legs…sooner than later it shall dock in its rightful place, in HELL. I feel so lazy to debate matters conveyed through certain irresponsible blogs. I strongly feel insulted when asked to comment,” he said.
According to Chellah’s account in the discussion, President Sata has his own way of capturing people’s attention – probably including his fatal diplomatic boobs making fun of a looming border fight between two neigbhours.
?
“@Tina, you and I who attended this event [and] know how independent minds, I mean people who were listening to Michael Sata speak for the first time received his maiden speech.
“Right in the conference hall, I overheard one minister from one of the countries within the region remark: “…that is Michael Sata from Zambia, this man has a special way he captures his audience’s attention,” he added.
Chellah’s comments did not go without challenge. Ndhlovu, a former Zambia Daily Mail journalist and now hosts a talk show on an internet radio Crossfire Blog, told Sata’s spokesperson; “ It is not a question of kuzonda and kulema [hate until you tire]. There are those of us who want the best out of our leaders and the best out of country.[pullquote]“No one is calling you out of your name. Gershom called you out and now you tell us you’re only debating him? Do you see how you sound? Because we disagree with the way your party leader conducts himself doesn’t make us any less patriotic. What is being asked of you who claims to know about progressive discourse is to perhaps pass on the same knowledge where it is so plainly lacking,” she said.[/pullquote]
“This is why you, the people close to Mr Sata, should play your role so that we achieve the best out of our leaders and our country. Veiled barbs are not very helpful. You cannot, and in this case the head of state, cannot please everybody. Yeah, if the president performed like we have been corrected by those who were there, then kudos to the president and the entire team.”
It was another contributor Mwamba Vieso Okoro who told off Chellah to stop being primitive in defending President Sata.
“Well said Gershom Ndhlovu, kuzonda and kulema is primitive politics George Chellah. You sound like an illiterate cadre but I guess you can’t help it see[ing] we know who butters your bread,” she said.
Another contributor Emmanuel Chisanga laughed off Chellah’s defence of President’s Sata’s diplomatic flip; “Kuti waseka [It’s laughable]. It appears no one is permitted to voice a difference of opinion with the establishment, lest one wants to be labeled an empty head or much worse. Kwaliba? [Is that so?]”
When Ndhlovu chipped in to Chellah to find a moderate way of correcting misrepresentation by his boss if it arose in the course of President Sata’s duty, he arrogantly conceded but was met with full force by yet again Mwamba Vieso Okoro.
“No one is calling you out of your name. Gershom called you out and now you tell us you’re only debating him? Do you see how you sound? Because we disagree with the way your party leader conducts himself doesn’t make us any less patriotic. What is being asked of you who claims to know about progressive discourse is to perhaps pass on the same knowledge where it is so plainly lacking,” she said.
Chellah was then forced to drop all his comments on the discussion as he could, seemingly, not withstand the level of debate that was emerging.
President Sata is not knew to disgraceful behaviour each time he leaves the country. He was a disaster in Botswana, Angola, Zimbabwe, United Kingdom and now Maputo.
Later, Chellah announced on his facebook page he would permanently log off drawing massive reaction that pleaded with him to stay on so as to continue gauging the mood in the country and pass on to the head of state.

Sata for you ba SADC
After analyzing how The Post newspaper demonized Sata during Mwanawasa’s reign (bcoz of the benefits accrued- the 14billion DBZ scandal, ZRA tax waivers on Zambian Airways, Airport fees waivers,the TASK FORCE benefits on corruption(fake) etc), every wise&independent mind can now see how opportunistic & deceitful the Post- Mmembee is. Pure egotism, pure opportunism& pure deception! . Expose these double standards to warn Zambians never, never to trust the Post again!! Ecclesiastes 5 : 4-6 says It’s foolishness not to keep promises and principles. THE ELECTION PROMISES are so fresh!! It was a contract! No further promises : Deliver or you are OUT!! An ACTION man gives no excuses and blames no body..It’s works that speaks-come 2016 no campaign, no promises ,no excuses no deceit,
We are used only fools will be disappointed at the behaviour of sata , what do u expect from a grade 7 without any diplomatic etiquette me iam no bothered I just treat Zambia as a country like a headless chicken run on auto pilots how many times will this thug embarrass us. Please 2016 is too far. I regret voting for sata. I cant wait to vote for HH in 2016. PF have achieved nothing in 12 months of their being in power. Ati man of action atase!!!!!!
inda iwe wiso apelele mu grade shani. stanyoko
Can you change the tittle please!!! Anything other than what you have put…
I agree.The word “gaffe” would be better than “boob”.
he is human,and we all knew his best personality before we gave him the presidence…. but as at now am not offended since i have something in my wallet,till 2016…..let him rule
Embarrassing the whole zambian nation again with his usual lack of decorum borne out of village mentality and little formal education. There you go PF enthusiasts this is what you voted for.Time to bring back RB or vote for Dr Mumba than live with this village herdsboy.
George Chellah has a very difficult job. It is like being tasked to keep a duck from taking to water or worse still trying to keep a hyena from a carcas.
hahaha!!!! funny but so true….am sure when he is alone at home, he broods over the the character of his boss and shakes his head in disbelief thinking ‘nomba elo twasangwako!!!’
Countrymen, it is good very educative to listen to the excellent English in the debates. We surely cant expect any more or less from Mr Chellah as it is his job to be a spin doctor
The title should actually be: Chellah Abandons Defence of Sata.
There is nothing amusing about this.
The president is doing a wonderful, job thank you very much. George Chellah has n pedigree is naive he punching above his weight. Being a pawn in a chess game does not mean you will become a queen, I don’t think his writing the one sided articles in the post before the elections, should have meant him being rewarded with as a prestigious a job as this. His naivety is being extended to the president Either way the president is surrounded by too many yes men
Thanks.
Thanks
Wow you can say something sensible and true.
Just bcos it is against everyone = pleasing Mushota, who is always fond of pulling in an opposite direction
Mushota has never written a single correct sentence in her life. Its either the entire sentence does not make any sense or it is littered with spelling mistakes + mismatched conjunctions. You can apply to work for LT because there you can write as you please take for example the word boob in the title of this article, it has no connection with the topic at hand. Mushota do you know what the word boob means?
For once you have made me smile.Keep it up!!
What is wrong with you Zambians Sata is our president even in heaven it is known.No African leader has raised any fingers in protest.Zambia for sure had wellcomed refuges and no one can dispute that.In his joke he was communication a good message to both countries.I love my president. You do called graduates what have you achieved you have even failed to recycle paper wake up and stop insulting our God given leader.
Sosa, The prpblem here is that he (Sata) should not have come out publicly ..Wise people interpret it differently like Sata celebrating for disputed lake that may degenerate into war hence him sata benefiting from keeping refugees.. Ali mulena taawalwi kabwe. (Don’t play a joke near the handicapped person) .. Just take this into consideration out of the issue in hand.
I mean the so called graduates
At least we understand what war means!! It brings about suffering & people seeking refuge in foreign places – SO FOR A PRESIDENT TO THINK IT IS FUNNY, BEGGARS BELIEF!!!! As Graduates, we understand, THAT COMPREHENSION of the wider aspects of the brewing conflict, which the chairman of SADC was trying to draw, OBVIOUSLY DIDN’T SEEM TO GET ACROSS TO A CERTAIN PRESIDENT!!
Why address people as so called graduates. Being a graduate is open to all humans. its not an exclusive club for a selected few. Sosa is free to join. Go to UNZA and see the registrar at 10hrs on Thursday. Make sure your grade 12 certificate is tip top an indication of basic ability.
What is wrong with you Zambians Sata is our president even in heaven it is known.No African leader has raised any fingers in protest.Zambia for sure had wellcomed refuges and no one can dispute that.In his joke he was communication a good message to both countries.I love my president. You so called graduates what have you achieved you have even failed to recycle paper wake up and stop insulting our God given leader.
HE IS NOT GOD GIVEN!!! He was voted for, GOD DID NOT PICK HIM!! Stop blasphemy!!!
Is Prof harworth still around? I mean seriously!!
Just a recap on the criteria for diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder according to the DSM IV :
1. Impulsivity: Often has difficulty awaiting turn in games or group situations
Often blurts out answers to questions before being completed
Often interrupts or intrudes on others
2. Hyperactivity: Often talks excessively
Often has difficulty engaging in leisure activities quietly
Often is restless
Often fidgets with hands and feet
3. Inattention: often fails to give attention to detail, makes careless mistakes eg over appointing MPs
You are so right our president has ADD. He needs some medication to help him calm down
Mushota I do not understand what you are saying!!!!!
:-w
she is probably high on drugs
Provisional Diagnosis: ADHD – NoS ( Not Otherwise specified)……. too many atypical features
Sorry people, i did not mean to disgrace u. but its in my nature to talk without thinking. I m a CNP
Tongs cant
that is what RB said about Sata, unless u are God u cannot stand and say HH will never be president
Just who can vote for HH mwebantu please. Come out of this screen and see for yourselves.
blogs that only focus on negative sides of all issues are sowing division in our country. i cant believe the whole summit all they captured to report was a jok. what about the maiden speach? God will punish you.
Mukalanda Muka naka, Micheal will always be himself. There is nothing anyone can do. Accept it or get ulcers worrying and complaining about his behavior.
Ukwa @ it again, What a joke of a president
We need a president, Sata is the worst president ever, 2016 seems verrrry far to withstand such behaviors from a president. But what do you expect from a grade 4 man…..
Which president do you need. Just say who, but we don’t want him because he is not appealing. We need Michael Chilufya Sata still. Hung if you can’t contain it. You’re making him even more popular because as you know King Sata is more responsive to such criticism than ….(You Know Who). The more you criticize him the better it works for his popularity. Remember your criticism is what put him in State House.
I am convinced some bloggers are missing the point over Sata’s satire of the entire civilised acceptable method of engaging with each other in this day and age. Plotocal an diplomacy demands Sata be given opportunity to speak his mind and convernors of the conference would have certainly accorded our president that chance. Chellah’s comment shoots that bwith a mind set mantra ‘uzalema kuzoda’. That posture of pride is unknown and alien in civilised circles of societies of the world. Others claim Sata is ‘God given’ president of Zambia. Granted, Pharao was raised by God in Egypt to deal with Israelies for God to be glofied among them. Never heard kudos go to Pharao. Hitler was raised by God, so are leaders such as Amin, Popot, Robert Mugabe, Ian Smith, Bokassa, Chachesco, King George
Thats what you get from uneducated villager as president….
“when a monkey climbs hight it exposes itself….”
Heeeeee;uneducated villager?and you town dweller?
South African appatheid leaders, including Islamic leaders killing their own people and late Kamuzu Banda. Sata may have been raised by God however, his misrule will not go unchallenged as it is being challenged all over the world. Former president George Bush Jr may have heard this disgraceful satire uttered at SADC meeting in Mozambiaque. Whould George be in error to call Sata a nutter?
@ paul bwalya.u r vry stupid foolish nd arogant.hw dare u insult da President wit such impunity.ddnt yo parents tichi u gud mannaz? even if its freedom of xpression aweeh! dis is getin out of hands…dis is bad 4 our democracy.checolor,sirtarnewcall waumfwa!..respect da elders!..parmoony!..zondani muzalema ‘f colour!
***** is you. You obviously an uneducated fool like your pathetic fools leader. Use your brains and smell the coffee. This so called your president is ruining our very good name as zambia.
If you voted for St. Michael in 2011 and want to change him fo HH you are in denial, seriously! We voted him for his character as King Cobra, Cobra ila sata (spits!)
Muza zonda muzalema.Its a pity how my fellow bantustans have assumed northern names on the blog and try to paint the President black. If waht was reported was true, I salute him 100%. He tried to remind those characters of the dangers of war. Ofcourse there will be refugees and who will look after them other than neighbouring countries including Zambia? Lets put it this way, this is the new diplomatic way of telling people about the bad things they are harbouring. Oh! we want it to come from washington calling other countries the axis of eveil and we start applauding tefyo? Come on grow up people.
Spot On!!!!!
Zambians themselves are to blame, they knew all along the type of person they elected as president. Enjoy the circus for 4 more years.
Blame us if you like. We’re voting him back come 2016
Guys let’s learn to separate George Chellah from HEMCS. Give the young man a break. This is not an easy job to do especially at a tender age.
Why should we spare him when he himself does not seem to know the boundaries of his work. He made those pronouncements, let him defend them. He should know when to keep quiet and when to talk.
HE IS NOT FORCED IN THE JOB!! HE IS FREE TO QUIT ANYTIME!!
In Zambia everything has to be analysed to a great detail based on the non-existant “analyis yardstick” held by the ZWD. Wile sung: “if God created man to look and or behave exactly the same, it would have been boaring”. Leave our Kaponya president; Democracy is majority; and majority means losers will zonda and tire till 2016 when they will lose again; ba kabwa!!
President Sata is gaffe-prone. So are Prince Philip, his son Prince Charles, so was President Reagan, so was President Yeltsin, so is candidate Romney of USA, even President Barack has had his share of gaffes. Gaffes are a common characteristic among all humanity and Zambians, especially hate-filled opposition politicians, should not feel excited about them.
I am quite sure their gaffes have nothing to do with interrupting other speakers with inappropriate comments! Besides the jeering and shouting that Ukwa does are not gaffes. Ukwa consciously says the rubbish that he does. There is no confusion about it. Ukwa does not mispeak because his stuff comes out the way he intended it to.
I think you need to have your head checked if you can write Obama in the sam sentence as your CNP
ZWD have been lying with a straight face since inception and will never recommend govt when credit is due. From the time PF started campaigning to date ZWD reporting has being amateurish . The other day went on to say the catholic priest who last deported weeks ago said Sata was an arrogant dictator which wasn’t true. That priest has never had an interview with any media.
NARRANT , your assertion is flawed . The fact that there other past presidents and memebers of the royal family that are gaffe-prone and basically stupid, does not make it an acceptable trait in a president. There is acceptable diplomatic ettiquet and decorum . Prez Sata should differentiate when he is dealing with cadres at Kamwala market and statesmen who take the running of their countries seriously.
Mushota, i doubt you are doing PHD. I also doubt you ACCA/CIMA and MBA. Your english is pathetic. I cant really understand what you are trying to put accross.
If there was any fighting between Malawi & Tanzania, most of the refugees will end up initially in Zambia and there after South africa. Sata was simply stating the truth. If there is any fighting between the two countries, Zambia will end up hosting most of the refugees. That is a FACT.
I don’t think stating the fact is wrong, how many refugees are we hosting in Zambia? We have spent so much money on these foreigners, it has to stop. Sata was right, we don’t need more refugees because of a stupid war. He did well to let them know that they are not welcome when the war starts. We have got problems of our own.
Thanks for looking on the bright side of things.
If Sata’s banter was contrary to the standards of “SAD-C”, they will raise an issue.
Sata needs to zip is mouth… u dont just shout in SADC meeting like pa chibwence…
This fool is embarrassing our country with his loose mouth!whats the problem kansi?is this what patronising taverns can do to people?talking any how even in an important meeting?
I find it rather funny how PF cadres are trying to defend their chief kaponya.
H.E. Buzaazd on this one, of course. Too bad. But our problem in Zambia is that we over dramatise issues. The man was voted into power, by the Zambian people. So, he is our president. Regardless who is president, they will buzaaz once in a while. We have him, at least until 2016. As long as the two countries do not raise any issues, can we please focus on the economy and see how we can develope. Our real enemy is poverty and continued dependence on western aid.
The Joker i knew ,hahahaha
The truth hates right?it lives me with dismay after reading & critically trying to understand the arguements,but hey what did the presidents involved say?????
no one knows their responses & here we are insulting our own,strange but zambian as usual!!!
To all you bloggers, if You cant take it dont dish it.Coz this is a Web site wher an individuals can record opinions, information, etc. on a regular basis.and i say Sata is a Joker
I have to admit that Sata is gruff. But his quip in this case had more truth than the whole SAD Countries summit. If the two neighbours fight, we shall bear the burden of hosting refugees. The man is hated because he is too straight and does not go round and round like most of us/
In conclusion, DIPLOMACY= ALWAYS SOFTEN THE TRUTH!!
It would be interesting to see how Sata and Prince Phillip (The Duke of Edinburgh) would get on. They are both given to gaffes. Still, this must have spiced up an otherwise boring meeting.
Good afternoon
Push comes to shove again. Are we going to be analysing every joke the president makes or are we going to analyse his actions?
When Berlusconi was Italian Prime Minister, he cracked a lot of jokes that had far more dynamite in them than anything I’ve heard our president say. But he was judged by his work behind the desk and that is why he was re-elected and still has potential to be elected again.
When critics disagree on the painting, the artist is always in one accord with himself.
Fair enough, so what positive actions has Sata taken thus far? You can’t compare Berlusconi with Sata, Berlusconi may have had loose lips but he knew what he was doing and got the job done, can you say the same about Sata? The problem we have is Sata is all talk and no action.
Nine Chale, you are great.Tell them.
You oughta be dreaming that Berlusconi has potential to be re-elected, THE WOMEN SPOKE!!!
HE WAS NOT TO DENIGRATE THEM EVER AGAIN!!!
Uh….. excuse me, but Berlusconi was derided by most people in Europe (and the world!) and only managed to dodge corruption charges, prostitution charges, and charges of having sex with minor because of the way he abused the Italian constitution. Is this the kind of leader you want to see in Mr. Sata? Should Mr. Sata host orgies at State House next just like Mr. Berlusconi? Please get real!
Are you a female or male blogger? Only when I know the answer would i understand why one would use Silvo Berlusconi as an example.
Nine Chale
And where is Berlusconi today?
Thanx Jay Jay.And the thing is we never get as upset like the dippers are getting right now. Nine Chale is a blind supporter.
#s 9 AND 10 HATS OFF. WHY DOES ZWD CONCENTRATE ON THE HUMOUR/JOKES PART OF SATA. SATA WILL ALWAYS REMAIN HUMOROUS IN HIS OWN NATURAL WAY. OF COURSE WE DON’T EXPECT EVERYONE TO BE ENTERTAINED BY HIS HUMOUR BUT OTHER PEOPLE WILL. ONLY A SERIOUS FOOL CAN MISINTERPRET SATA’S JOKES OR AT LEAST THOSE WHO ARE JUST KNOWING HIM RECENTLY. BUT, SAT HAS EVER BEEN LIKE THAT. I REMEMBER YEARS BACK WHEN SATA WAS ON TV INTERVIEWED BY CHARLES MANDO (late) THAT EVENING TV WAS WATCHED BY EVERYONE FOR A COMBINATION OF SERIOUSNESS AND LAUGHTER (HUMOUR), IF OTHER LEADERS ARE GETTING TO KNOW AND ACCEPT HIS NATURE WHAT ABOUT ZAMBIANS WHO HAVE BEEN WITH HIM FOR AGES? MIND WHAT HE DELIVERS OFFICIALLY AND NOT HIS PUNCTUATED HUMOUR WHICH MOST PIPO IGNORE.
Thanks Peter for being a balanced judge
Boob means breast – the headline doesn’t make sense. Whoever writes for LT is fu..ck.ed up!
Its amazing how the watchdog sets the agenda for zambia. i mean? there was Sadc summmit andeveryone is talking about what ZWD wrote???
IMAGE BUILDERS, YOU MUST WORK HARD ON YOUR MAN.THIS OLD MAN REMINDS ME A MAN MADE OF CRAY AND WAS ADVISED NOT TO WALK IN THE RAIN AS HE WOULD MELT OUT BUT SINCE HE WAS BORN A STUBBORN MAN HE REFUSED TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTION UNTIL HE LOST HIS LIFE.(KAMUDOTI)THE QUESTION OF OLD DOG LEARN NEW TRICKS.
@Nubian Princess, you have just boobed. To “boob” is to make a mistake. And just for the record, our President boobed big time.
you all choma boys & girls….muzazonda muzalema for shizo! continue doing what you do best with your cows in the bush….have u ever been to the National assembly? how do tonga MPs conduct themselves in the house? do they keep quiet till it is their turn to debate? even among presidents there must be some1 to crack jokes & ease the tension….so whats your problem here? if you are so hurt/bitter about HEMCS being our greatest leader ever, leave our country…atase! we are tired of childish reports & blogs combined…once i am made Minister of Information, my output will be to close down that hateful & unprofessional site called ZambiyaWachiDogi……basopo! :d
Amen!…. Time to learn that much as you would like to put the name of our President down, there is a bigger force lifting him up. Shame on you headless cows.
I think PF will get tired defending HEMCS. He can only thrive in comedy and threats so how do you expect him to represent Zambia well. He cannot just sit quiet putting up with intelligent speeches. He has to lighten things up to participate. This response of “bitterness” will be so old by next year. They better roll up their sleeves an get to work.
Mr. Kabimba is not adding any value besides lambasting and demeaning the opposition.
He awards himself 100% salary increase for Jokes at international forums…
What a JOKER
According to Henrique #32 the following people who have been known to be gaffe-prone are stupid: President Sata, Prince Philip,Prince Charles, President Reagan, President George W Bush, President Yelstin, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, candidate Romney, President Barack Obama. Any and all individuals that are gaffe-prone are stupid , according to the blogger on this site. Just what’s wrong with Tongas and their party UPND?
Imwe ibaleni koni, South America has Chaves, we have Sata and Museveni. No one else is complaining except the Zambians. Get over it…we are not there in the private quarters when they meet eyeball to eyeball.
THEY WISH RELATIONSHIP(S) HAVE BEEN STRAINED. BY NOW ZWD, UPND AND MMD MUST KNOW THAT JUST LIKE ZAMBIANS KNOW THAT SATA LIKES MAKING PEOPLE HAPPY AND LAUGH EVEN THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY IS CATCHING UP WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE. THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY HAS COME TO KNOW WHEN SATA IS JOKING AND WHEN HE IS GIVING A SERIOUS SPEECH. ZAMBIANS WHO SEEM NOT TO KNOW HIM MUST EITHER BE VERY DULL OR ARE JUST PRETENDING TO MAKE POLITICAL CAPITAL OUT OF HIS JOKES. IN ANY CASE, THE MOST IMPORTANT IS THE MAIDEN SPEECH HE GAVE WHICH WAS APPRECIATED BY THE HEADS OF STATES. I ADMIRE YOU MWEBA FUFYA TULO WISHING MICHAEL TO TRIP- YOU HAVE SO MUCH ENERGY TO WASTE.
LOL; you are so funny man!!
#45 “Push comes to shove again. Are we going to be analysing every joke the president makes or are we going to analyse his actions?”
THIS IS A GOOD QUESTION TO ALL YOU ZAMBIANS WHO ARE HELL-BENT ON WHATEVER SATA SAYS. FYSHUPA FYE NGA MULAMUKONKA NA KUTOILETI. SERIOUSLY, LET’S ANALYSE HIS DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIONS AND NOT WHAT HE SAYS TO MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY AND LAUGH IN A TENSED UP SITUATION.
# 34 – Usike wa yake musi kusiya mashala! Sata said he will host the refugees, not otherwise.
U mean Sata misrepresented us again after his excelence to be HH adviced him on diplomatic manners? Shame!
That letter from HH should have saved Zambia if Sata was a teachable man this time around.
Sata hides his deficiency, illiteracy and poor leadership in dirty,dry jokes. he should learn to be serious and offer substance at such gatherings. He should reminded that at such fora he is representing zambia and not his clones. work becomes tough if u dont have the needed qualifications.

@2, I feel the same way except on HH. We need some one like chipimo. You will waste your vote on HH .
the disaster is George Chella in all this- he has a future; sata doesnt. Shame ka George mwaice! go drink milk, OK and eat cerelac.
iyo kwena calimikalipa,sata will be president even beyond 2016.
George Chellah is in the right. Most of the bloggers are dying to get to that job. people the young man has made it and let us appreciate instead of dying with envy. Sorry, 2016 patali. In the opposition my friend. 2016 patali. Tulemiteka ba him him.
Ba pumbafu balimuchibe. Sata aleteka. Supporters of him him, what has changed now from the time him him was in partnership with His Excellency MC Sata? Are you sure him him did not know who The Excellency was then? Guys grow up and patiently wait for the right time. 2016 patali in the opposition.
Those managing the President and sit next to him in these session should just make it official practice to him that he will only speak from a script and also ensure that he does not interrupt official proceedings, but only when he or someone in his entourage has duly requested for the floor.
Otherwise is is no big deal, we can manage him and ensure he runs Government properly. He does have strong points, his joking nature should just be managed well, especially his joking habits need to be curtailed. But its no cuase for any political opportunist to think they have got political amunition!!!
We have have seen many such guys who were there and thought they would not leave those positions one day. very soon Chela will not even want to be seen around leave alone being heard.
Time and time again, cadres are the same. Look at how PF cadres are trying so hard to defend our president, this was the case with MMD. Why is it so difficult to see when a wrong has been committed and accept advice? PF cadres our presidents just needs time to adjust to the idea that his words are not the same as the rest of us out there, hence the need to be careful.
Its not all about discussing the taste of the joke,but the embarrasment that us Zambians are subjected to as a result of thoughtless jokes done at the wrong time.Does Sata know the forum to use to air his international concerns? We are descent Zambians and we dont like to be associated with nonsence.
Sata is just a person like all of us. He has his bad side as well as his good side. But I think so far his good side outweighs his bad side.
I think the biggest followers of PF and Sata are the UPND they follow him and everything he does or say closely and are forgeting about their party and in doing so making sata more popular. thanks
Lekeni Sata ateke umwine!!!!!1
dont worry abt watch dog en HH.stop insulting the predo pliz.the cant win an election.we r watching.Zambia is watch.Come 2016 is SAta .Kasama Central
68 000 .HH 2 votes Lusaka Central Sata 78000 HH 100.Mansa Cental Sata 69000 HH 3.Ndola Central Sata 7903 HH 103.Mazabuka Central HH 38,000 Sata 21,000.Livingstone Central Sata 45,056 HH 27,000.Choma Central HH 38000 Sata 21,000.I can asure u HH will lose come 2016.
Gentlemen and women dont believe what the watchdog say is true. They seem to have an agenda of proping up HH. HH said zambia has sent children to be trained as militias to sudan and it never said anythng. All these blunders reported by the WD, we dont hear them from the people concerned. DONT DWELL ON TRIVIALITIES
Twali mye bele tamwalefwaya ukumfwa. We told you, and you did not want to listen.
Chellah should not react in that childish manner. This is not something personal against Sata. It is about leadership, representation, decorum and THINKING! Chellah also has this self conceited habit of showing off through winding literally language. He is one of those people who think if you produce good sounding English, then you must be right in your argument. His clear bootlicking of a master that presented him with the ‘prestigious’ job is pathetic to say the least. He just goes too far.
First of all Sata should have waited for his turn to speak at the meeting. Secondly, instead of blurting out about Zambia ‘hosting the refugees’ if there is a fight, he should have engaged in constructive dialogue with the other leaders in trying to prevent any possible fighting.
KOMA CHI UKWA NI CHI FONTINI. HE WAS JUST HAVING A “LIGHT MOMENT”. I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEXT U.N. GENERAL ASSEMBLY MEETING. I’M SURE THIS FONTINI WILL SEBANYA U ZAMBOS. NO WONDER THE LOZIS WANT TO FORM THEIR OWN COUNTRY.
This is a typical case of the ‘Emperors Clothes’. Shameless people are still burying their heads in the sand and pretending that Sata is ‘well dressed’, when he is clearly naked!
Sorry you educated but uncivilised souls. You yap a lot of noncense. I personally see no diplomatic blunder here. He was warning them in a joking manner. The message was clear, hence no one complained. If they think he is dull, let them start fighting, they will end up in Zambia for refuge, that is plain truth. I am proud of this man, he always cracks educative jokes. Even on Bush he was very right, developed countries simply pay back to Africa for all the resources they got and continue to get from here.
Once a man told me that when two people want to fight, the best thing to do so that they dont fight is… “urge them to fight, and then on their own they will not see any sense in what they want to do.” I dont think our head of state was encouraging them to fight, all he must have been communicating is “cant you be envious of the peace in our country,l since we do accommodate refugees from anywhere around ourselves?” countrymen let us not be so petty and bring the name of state house into disrepute. I feel the attacks on George are just to harsh. George is doing a good job at state house, professional as opposed to other Press aides that have been there in the past, maybe next to Musukuma.
WHAT DID YOU EXPECT GEORGE TO SAY? SATA HAS SENSE OF HUMOUR UNLIKE HH WHO’S SMILE WE HAVE NEVER SEEN. PLUS GEORGE AONEKA BWINO, CAMIBABA CABE. LEAVE HIM ALONE
ma jelous ba UPND.Its our time!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Viva Sata.
Well, is it surprising that MCS’ behavior is as observed?
