MMD leader Nevers Mumba has denied accusations by President Michael Sata that he seeking criminal asylum in South Africa.

Addressing a media briefing at his residence in Kabulonga in Lusaka, Dr. Mumba said the accusations that he was in South Africa to ask for criminal asylum are false.

Dr. Mumba said the opposition leaders that travelled to South Africa have no intentions of leaving Zambia because they have nothing to run away from.

“We are not running away and if there is anything that President Sata wants to do to me and my colleagues in the opposition he will have to do it right here in Zambia,” Dr. Mumba stated.

The MMD President explained that the South Africa meeting was meant to facilitate a legal meeting with their lawyer.

“We didn’t go to South Africa to have a political meeting, we went there to meet our international lawyer and as you aware our lawyer Mr. Robert Amsterdam is not allowed to enter Zambia so we had to meet in a neutral environment to discuss our legal options.”

“In today’s technological age, the issue of having a meeting outside the country does not arise. What happens in Zambia attracts the interest of the international community in real time. So where you hold the meeting does not really matter,” Dr. Mumba said.

He also dismissed assertions by Chief Government Spokesman Kennedy Sakeni that former President Rupiah Banda attended and organised the South Africa press conference.

“I feel pity for my brother Sakeni because he is being forced to release statements that he has not written,” he said.

And Dr. Mumba says the opposition leaders are determined to continue alerting the international community to the growing human rights abuses taking place in Zambia.

Dr. Mumba revealed that the opposition leaders will soon engage the African Union and the SADC Secretariat to present a dossier of documented human rights abuses under the PF administration.

“The document we gave the Commonwealth is about 40 pages, we will document further abuses in the next dossier we will give to the AU may be 60 pages and the SADC one might around 80 pages long.”
Dr. Mumba also appealed to President Sata to desist from telling lies.

He said President Sata has developed a bad habit of telling him on his political opponents.

[pullquote]“When people are hiding you don’t know what they went for to South Africa because the person is looking for asylum but he does not know we can go to South Africa and get him extradited and come remove his immunity here,” Mr Sata said.[/pullquote]
Dr. Mumba reminded President Sata that he is now occupying a holy office at State House which requires that he tells the truth all the time.

“This government should slow down. This knee jerk reaction to any challenge from the opposition will not help the PF government.”

Earlier today President Michael Sata claimed that the South African government was not ready to give criminal asylum to former President Rupiah Banda.

 

President Sata explained that Mr Banda did not know that the government can have him extradited from South Africa to Zambia so that his immunity is removed.

The Head of State charged that MMD president, Nevers Mumba, his UPND counterpart, Hakainde Hichielma and Mr Banda were looking for criminal asylum in South Africa.

Mr Sata stated that out of the three opposition leaders who held a media briefing in South Africa, only United Liberal Party (ULP) leader Sakwiba Sikota was the clean.

[pullquote]“So the only person who was clean out of all those was Bo Saki. Nevers Mumba and HH were looking for criminal asylum and the South African President is not ready to give Rupiah Banda, HH and Nevers Mumba asylum.[/pullquote]

Mr Sata called on the opposition political leaders to return home and exonerate themselves.

“When people are hiding you don’t know what they went for to South Africa because the person is looking for asylum but he does not know we can go to South Africa and get him extradited and come remove his immunity here,” Mr Sata said.

“So the only person who was clean out of all those was Bo Saki. Nevers Mumba and HH were looking for criminal asylum and the South African President is not ready to give Rupiah Banda, HH and Nevers Mumba asylum. They should come here and sing the song here in Zambia,” Mr Sata stated.

    • There are 20 more pages of abuses for every additional organisation. When they send to the UN security council it will be 100 pages. Why don’t they publicise these documents so that we all know what they are writing? I do not think it is the quantity of pages that count but the quality of content. I wonder if there are diagrams and pictures in the dossier. Amsterdam is known to attack personalities.

      I think these documents provides a character biographies of Sata, M’membe, GBM, Kabimba, and Nchito. If complainants, NM, RB, and HH, did not participate the case would be credible. So RB is the leader of the whole opposition? He can call on them under his wings so that they can collectively be shielded from prosecution. His immunity is the stronghold. There is time for everything.

    • His official title is Republican President, or His Excellency MC Sata or if you like Chiluba american style, call him Mr President. What I do know is that we Zambians are respectful.

  1. Be warned. Innocent Chimfutumba is a charlatan and a mole. Like a deranged vulture he preys on people’s character. He is all over the Internet sniffing out stories and writing gibberish about people and issues he hardly understands. Google his name and you’ll see what I mean. I have compiled his texts in both the “LT and ZWD. At times he wears the hat of a skunk, spraying his terrible malodorous smell. He claims to be learned. Read all his comments (How I wish I could display them). He’s a moron who writes in colloquial English—semi-literate style. Learned bloggers write well even in haste. His writing is best described by one blogger: “so many words with no sense.” His punctuation is terrible and typos aplenty.

    • He claims to have been in class with me. It is not true. He might have been in the same 1973 stream and not 1972 as he claims in some of his comments. He’s so damn he does not know when he graduated. I never met him in 1967 because I went to Chingola Primary School in 1968. At Chikola I was not taught by Cheeseman. I associated with him in the Young Farmer’s Club. Yes, the late Patrick Chibwe was in my class, but not Lazarus Chota. In Form Five, I and Patrick were in “A” and Lazarus in “S.” Ask him what form he was in. He claims to have been with me in the same class for five years. There was no Innocent Chimfutumba in my class. If there was, he must have been one of those dumb students with nothing to offer. What was Innocent Chimfutumba famous for? Anyone?

  2. How can the head of state peddle lies like this?this is why they want to creat an impression dat only the rulling party can deliver development…lies only..ask Folly,David and other pipo serving in pf wat development is going on in their constituencies?Monde duped and shame to this clueless regime…ataaaa ati assylum without shame

  3. Ask Innocent Chimfutumba to table his qualifications and credentials. Let him give a link to his thesis or books he has written, then simply google my name and see my books and academic achievements. What a difference. Get off my back you grain-brain spiteful creep! You can’t intimidate me.

    •  
      Come on  field ruwe, did you have to through all that ? you claim to be a word smith and an educated man , yet you are not because educated people do not broadcast their  academic qualifications neither do they attack the lack of education in others . So what if one googles your name ? there are only four books you have written and they aren’t international best sellers , that is why we do not have them on our shelves in Zambia ,please be like Prof Chirwa , Dr Dambisa Moyo or even Dr Kaela Mulenga who do not broadcast their works , your articles are nothing but trash and you know it , you write things that you have heard and you want to makes believe that you are innovative when you are just a copy and paste author , what kind of a PhD candidate does not create h

    • his own thoughts? You just collect historical events and rant about them , you provide no solutions at all you just write what we already know .  You should learn something from the young man Sishuwa Sishuwa who I think is a real PhD candidate and he is a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University doing online program , because among the graduate programs at George Fox  are

  4. So who will respond to this, UKWAS voice mail George chellah or Sekaneni ?? UKWA has been caught napping @ his level this is embarrassing. Someone will get fired tomorrow

  5. Oh, I remember an Innocent from Angola who lined in our neighborhood. He used to bed-wet and froth at the mouth. His pee smelled like hell. Each time we did what he thought was wrong, he would run and report us to his mother. A Shaman visited his home frequently to check on his epilepsy. Is that you? If you are, I can smell you pee in all your comments under different aliases. Get off my back you grain-brain spiteful creep! You can’t intimidate me.

    • @ Zed – shhhh. I’ll whisper it. It tracks back to Field Ruwe article a couple of days ago. Someone named Innocent blogged that he knew him. Canadian flag blogger named Field Ruwe responded that he felt this was someone who was stalking him. Now Canadian flag Wordsmith is expressing himself repeatedly on different blogs. I reckon it is up to LT to provide comfort in the form of….. as I doubt that Mister Ruwe would pursue this line. Shh. You didn’t hear it from me.

      Hi Wordsmith. Hope you’re having a nice day. Hunting for a successor 35 is located in archives if you want more writing space.

    • Save this forum from abuse, find somewhere else to settle your little personal differences, we have a big elephant or rather a bigger embicile to deal with in state house. We’re tired of those silly postings.

  6. I do hope the travelling show will come to the UK. An opportunity to wash our laundry on a grand scale awaits. As well as dealing with the very real issue of human rights abuse, we can add retrospective abuse by past governments. We’ll have a chance to explain the Chiluba judgment to the commonwealth head, then bring in Barostseland shootings as a means of slipping further back and talking abrogation and maybe the Brits can chip in with an explanation what an amalgamation is and why they were witnesses to it. Hmm we can continue on with colonial hangovers and deal with slavery reparation. We can even find out if David Livingstone was actually lost and how tight was Queen Victoria with that Indian prince. Hmm. Can’t wait. All politicians suffer from Zamnesia and the propensity to lie…

  7. Ba Nevers,just be ready for the outcome of your cases.It’s only those who don’t know you who can support you.You pretend to be courageous,when the truth is,you’re just like your name,nervous!You committed crimes in Canada and thought God’s going to protect you,nooo ,God doesn’t protect people who commit crimes.If He was like that,He wasn’t going to be God.You just have to come to your senses and understand that,you reap what you sow.And your imbecile lawyer Robert Amsterdam won’t be able to help you.You don’t know Sata,just wait,he’ll finish you.

    • Be proud of Sata finishing people with falsehood, your turn will surely come. If you can see so much injustice in Mumba and fail to see the injustice in Sata ……it’s because your heart has never known justice. This is my Zambia and I want my democracy and I am leady to die in its persuit, you can continue enjoying with Sata just like he enjoyed with the coronialist while the African blood was shed in persuit for freedom.

    • @ Kwathu,I understand your frustrations.Just come to terms with the fact that Sata is President.If you enjoyed with Nevers,the law will visit you as well.Are you more Zambian than the rest of us?The majority voted for Sata and you didn’t vote for him,but he won.This man has the mandate from the people of Zambia to correct the mess.If you want democracy,do the right thing and you won’t be in problems with the law.And by the way,the law is part of democracy,in case you don’t know.No matter who steals,the law has to visit him.If Sata steals,we’ll make sure the law follows him as well.It’s as simple as that.Why is it so difficult for you to understand simple things?Tell Nevers to just be strong coz he’ll definitely reap what he sowed.Period !

  8. I shudder to know what President Zuma of South Africa today thinks about our pathological liar in Nkwazi house cursed with all demons of lies.

    • Welcome back Senior Citizen, u have been away fro a long time! I remember your well articulated articles in defence of MMD & RB.

      I do apologize the support i gave Dictator Sata & his corrupt ministers during the 2011 elections.

      Pathological liar Sata becoming Zambia president, was the worst thing to happen to mother Zambia.

      We miss RB & his calming & reassurance attitude!

    • What is mortifying is that MMD has printed t-shirts with “don’t kutina written on it.” I don’t think that will work for them. They need a new craze, one of their own to wake the Zambians into a new consciousness. As it stands, they are reacting to PF machinations.

  9. Does this President even get any briefing for him to be lying like this. Did his intelligence fail to tell him that Nevers Mumba is already back at home and HH is now in Chipata?

    I think this president is drunk with power and choking with hate for RB , if he want to remove RB immunity the law is clear and he knows what to do. Let him go to parliament and get embarrassed. Let him call the vote even tomorrow if he is man enough than keep issuing empty threats.

    Immunity can only be removed by parliament if they are brave enough , bring it on and stop wasting our time. Use your powers to summon parliament tomorrow and lets get on with it. Why are you scared you cowards, show your so called power and bring it on.

  10. Give an example where the Commonwealth, SADC and AU has successfully interverned and stopped worse atrocities than this? How do you discredit a country you want to lead? Zambia is bigger than you. As long as the common man does not align with you, you have a mountain to climb all by yourself. Dont bring more misery on us, we have sufferred enough.

    • If Zambia is so big does it mean authorities should be punishing innocent Zambians? They started by saying Nevers missapproprieted funds in Canada now that they have seen that they cant corner him on that now they are saying he never followed laid down procedures. Shame

    • @tribalist, Charles Taylor in in cages, not because of the intervention of Commonwealth, SADC and AU. These guys should approach the ICC in the Hague that is if they have credible evidence and their lawyer is advising them right.

  11. What Ukwa does not know is that Zuma used to stay in Banda’s house in Kabulonga when he was in exile… even if it was true Banda was seeking asylum in SA Zuma would never deny him.

    • @The Engineer (Australia):

      Sata knows this history perfectly well, badaala. That’s why he mentioned Zuma by name. In fact Sata was already in active politics and in KK’s govt, in capacity or the other, during Zuma’s exile days in Zambia. So for you to intimate that this simple fact about RB and Zuma’s past relationship is “NEWS” to Sata simply shows how naive you are. Sata knows way more than you younglings born yesterday think. He may be a ‘loose cannon’ at times, but he is NO DUMMY!

    • Yamabayamba, what an empty defence of Sata. he ‘knows’ bla bla bla and you think RB does not know? Why would he be the only one who ‘knows’?

    • @Lon:

      And who said RB does not know, you !d!iot!!! Why don’t you read my post again and understand who it is directed at?!!!!!!!!!!

  12. Why does he always use swearing-in ceremonies to spew out lies like these? That is why HH was telling him to stop hiding in State House and to go out and visit the people that put him into office. The last time he appeared in public at the agricultural show people started asking him for the money he had promised. From then on he does not look comfortable to show his face in public. That is why RB said and I quote “Ubisa chani mambaala”

  13. Sata was emotional. He should take it easy. We like him better when he does not speak. Let him speak from a written script all the time. When he speaks off cuff, it is always disaster.

  14. i feel for the president..he may just have an early ejaculation form his heart..lol..take it ease and let the opposition live sir!!

  15. Declaring Psalm 91 and the blood of Jesus over Dr Nevers Mumba, HH, RB and their families and UPND and MMD and over Zambia.

  16. The most frustrated Officers under the PF climate are the professional members in the OP, who are supposed to sniff details and file accurate information for the President. But ubufi, boza and kubeja is the birth right of a southern African President.
    A person seeking for assylum does so when one finds it unbearable to stay in ones own country. Ba Sata’s definition of assylum is strange. Soon after swearing a traitor at State House, an assylum seeker gives a press conferenced at his house located less than 5 km from State House, Ba Sata babufi, nibaboza balabeja.

    State House has admitted that conditions are so bad that people can contemplate seeking assylum and breath an air of freedom outside Zambia. GOD HEAR OUR PRAYERS.

  17. That is the point Mr Mumba – Mandela did not just say words, he meant it:

    Rivonia “…if need be, IT IS A CAUSE FOR WHICH I’M PREPARED TO DIE…!”
    Stay on the ball all of you, you are fighting for something LEVY DID die for…13mio+ HUMAN BEINGS! If our govt won’t sit at a round table then they can only blame themselves – EVEN GBM is trying to correct that, why? I say b’cos he knows WE AS A PEOPLE have never been so near to the brink since UPP and THE HOUR. You as opposition leaders did NOTHING WRONG – there are millions hanging-out out there – Aluta continua !

  18. I think we need a new news source. It appears there are half-truths coming out to stir up bloggers so that opinions and ideas can be harvested. Most of what is being reported from the President’s utterances to the rebuttals seem to me to be lacking a bridging of detail. I do get this very uncomfortable feeling that all is not well somewhere in between these positions…

  19. Am I missing something here? Nevers Mumba had a press conference at his home in Kabulonga. I thought the reason they had held a press conference in South Africa with HH and others, is the fear of being arrested in Zambia. What was said in South Africa which could not be said in Zambia?

    • POA. Nevers was arrested for visting a certain chief without a permit. He can hold a press conference at his own residence but if HH and Saki joins him, they will need a permit. Thats the POA for you

  20. Br Nevers when How do you associate Your self with crooks You know that lawyer he has been defending crooks what does the Bible say regarding those that support crroks or acquits crooks that is not the best way to Approach politics.Majority of Zamvians are happy and it’s just the few of you who are crying

  21. You people are saying that the OP are not telling Sata the truth mmm ba chiyopa nabo.I think something is wrong with this man he was not like that.A president who lies aha it’s very awkward mwe.

  22. Which human rights abuse you dogs? Bakwikata uleiba kolwe iwe and with respect u are taken to court ati human rights abuse? Useless beings. Why can’t RB b put to task for Mongu shooting please? Mumba caught ‘bamba down’.

  23. What kind of leaders are u Nevers and the ever under five hh? What has stooge Tsvagirai Morgan gained by conaiving with the west? U are headed for oblivion from politics

  24. I URGE THE PF GOVERNMENT NOT TO TREAT THESE ENEMIES OF THE POOR WITH KID’S GROOVES. THEY DON’T MEAN WELL. MUMBA U ARE THE ONE LYING THROUGH YO TEATH. IF C’WEALTH ,SADC AND AU CAN BUY INTO THIS RUBBISH THAT WILL B STUPIDIT OF THE WORST KIND.

  25. Ukwa underestimates the intelligence of Zambians all the time, he honestly believed people will be fooled by his lie. he thinks its ‘donchi kubeba’ all the time.

  26. I f the real intention is to investigate the former leader for his past misdeeds, it therefore follows that the due process of the law must be followed. How do you summon a person with presidential immunity to answer some allegations and yet you fail to deal with an attorney general who goes to the ACC offices with cadres and defies the very law he is supposed to uphold.
    These are double standards we are talking about. How do you consult the president before you investigate someone for corruption? Which law are we following? If the former leader committed crimes against the Zambian people, lift his immunity through parliament and then take him to court. But the question is, who is going to investigate close associates to the president who seemingly is the appointing authority. Answers…

    • @yambayamba
      i get your point and i appreciate your thinking, donot be mistaken. Am not trying to ´shield´ RB and his corrupt group or support anyone with a corrupt head. What am saying here is that apply the law equal and fair to all. The same law that should visit RB should also visit kabimba and GBM. lets have a fair system here.
      Now, you have scandals serving in the PF govt… eg, masumba, mbulu, nchito…the list is endless.. is this the type of change zambia needs?

  27. These so called opposition leaders should ask Morgan Tsivingirai across the Zambezi if they really want to know what human rights violations are. And Morgan fights his battles within Zimbabwe without the help of crooks like Robert Amsterdam.

    Being made to answer to legitimate suspicions of criminal misconducts in our courts of law is NO violation of anyone’s human rights—give me a freaking brake!

    • @yambayamba… why should they ask morgan Tsivingirai from across the zambezÍ?,,, those human rights violations are zimbabwe standard, not zambian standard moreover zambians are more awake then sleeping zimbaweans. This dictator monister must know that and respect zambians,,,,

    • @ndobo:

      I am saying they should ask Morgan Tsivingirai because the kind of human violations going in Zim are the ones organizations like the Commonwealth, UN, AU, SADC, and the like, pay attention too. Not the “Secondary school cadet” kind of violations these opposition morons of yours are wasting their time on. In fact, the killing of our fellow citizens in Western province by one of the “CHIEF PETITIONERS” (RB) was more serious than the kaka mania these visionless opposition leaders are concocting. But where was the ‘NOT SO COMMON-WEALTH’ then?

      I realize people like RB have a lot of free time on their hands nowadays. But why can’t he spend it constructively than trying to destroy a country which once benefited him immensely?

  28. What is “criminal asylum”? Any lawyer or criminalogist among bloggers please? As far as I know, this term is incorrect. But I’m open for a lesson in Her Majesty’s language.

  29. @Luundu, I am NO Layer but I do know that there are all kinds of ‘classes’ under which people can claim asylum. I do know political asylum is the most universal among them. Refugee status can also lead to being gratend asylum. Also things like violence that is not necessarily of political nature can lead to one being granted asylum in some countries. It all depends, I think, on the determination of the host country.

    Rememder the WIKILEAKS leader who was/almost granted asylum(not sure what the final outcome was) by one of the South American county (can’t recall which country exactly); I am not sure under what category they thoguht he deserved asylum. In short, there are all kinds of asylum classes out there. Not sure if “criminal asylum” is one of them under South African law.

    • That’s a reason why we need local languages as a media of communication. Foreign language is not for the president . The 1951 UN Geneva Convention states that a person can claim asylum if running away from political persecution, torture or discrimination. basically asylum can be granted if you prove to the receiving state that your human rights have been violated by the Government of your origin. In criminal cases asylum can be granted if the country of your origin cannot guarantee the receiving state that your human rights will not be violated if returned back to your country e.g you will not face torture. The receiving state will grant you asylum on humanitarian protection not refugee status.

  30. Saki is a lawyer, does he need an outside lawyer who cannot even come to Zambia?
    This excuse by Mumba that they went to meet their lawyer is rubbish, you don’t need an international lawyer to represent you for theft and why all the opposition hired the same lawyer when they are facing different cases is beyond comprehension. These guys are just trying to muddle up the waters to cover their theft and criminality by claiming human rights abuses using a hired gun, Amsterdam. As Zambians we should protect our sovereignty of our country from parasites like Amsterdam and greedy thieving politicians who have no interest for our country except their pockets. The opposition should swallow their bile and accept that PF is ruling and personal hatred clouding their judgement.

    • The courts in zambia are rotten, the system is also rotten so it doesn´t matter how good the lawyer is… solution? twist screws from outside.

  31. The opposition is disorganised because of ONE PUPPET MASTER called RB. He is pulling the strings through Amsterdam and they are all dancing to the tune without realising that they are been used as a shield to protect him.

  32. Mumba says, “The document we gave the Commonwealth is about 40 pages, we will document further abuses in the next dossier we will give to the AU may be 60 pages and the SADC one might be around 80 pages long.”

    There are 20 more pages of abuses for every additional organisation. When they send to the UN security council it will be 100 pages. Why don’t they publicise these documents so that we all know what they are writing? I do not think it is the quantity of pages that count but the quality of content. I wonder if there are diagrams and pictures in the dossier. Amsterdam is know to attack personalities. I think these documents provides a character biographies of Sata, M’membe, GBM, Kabimba, and Nchito. If complainants NM, RB, and HH did not participate the case would be credible.

  33. Dear Bloggers,
    Most of you claim our President is entrenching human rights abuses in the nation.Can some one bring out 10 such abuses and what the law dectates.Sata did not creat any new laws lest you want him to interven every time break the existing laws. Mind the international community will liase with foreign missions in zambia to get a confirmation of the alledged abuses and Sata will be vindicated.Since when did Robert amsterdam become HH and Mumba’s lawer apart from the fact that it was RB’ seeking your account of alledged abuses so that he can make a case against Sata to win sympathy for his and his family crimes during his rule. I wonder why and how RB is able to use HH in his battles with the law.Since when did HH start fraternising with Robert Amsterdam?

  34. Okay so Sata is already labeling Dr. Mumba and HH criminals?! This does underscore the importance of what they presented to the commonwealth secretariat because it raises serious questions if the head of state can assume people to be criminals even before evidence can begin to be heard in courts. I urge all real and patriotic Zambian to stand up and be counted on the right end of the moral spectrum on this matter

    • What did the Presidentwant Zambians to make of his extradition speech? As for ba Banda, it is now clear that the President has decided to lift his immunity. I have no problem with the lifting of immunity if Parliament so decides. My worry is the President’s attack on the opposition parties and their leaders at every opportunity. Does he want Zambia to be a defacto one party state?? If not why is he saying if MPs leave their party, they will be given house, money, car!

    • Well stated The Real Zambian! One wonders what has happened to the presumption of innocence doctrine entrenched in the Zambian Constitution!

  35. @ yamba yamba and Mark Carney, thank u very much. I think what H.E. meant is that Mumba & HH were seeking asylum In RSA because of criminal investigations for which they ve been arrested for and are before the courts of Law in Zambia. Julian Assange the weaki leak founder who is still holed up in the Equodorian Embassy in London asked for political asylum because he claims his actions to reveal Western secrets may land him in jail in the US after UK extradites him there. Back to NEVERS & HH, they would probably ask for “political asylum” as a result of ” criminal activities” that arise from their “political activities”. Like meeting a chief without a police permit or so called defamation of Sata. I just think there is no such a thing as “criminal asylum”. As usual some adviser…

  36. They is no opposition leader in Zed who is principled and capable of forming government even if elections where to be held to day. HH is tribal and hates us the Bemba speaking people and I do not see how he can surely win in CB, luapula and Northern. As for mumba he is not a politician but a noise maker. these guys have surely failed to sell there ideals and have found MCS to be way ahead of them even when he is in government. SATA mukali

  37. Whatever hidden agenda Ba President harbours against RB, HH and Nevers Mumba, this high Office should not have mentioned the name of President Jacob Zuma in dealing with his perceived political enemies. Zuma (and Julius Malema) and rest of current and former leaders in the SADC region know very well that Sata was never a freedom fighter but a stooge of the British Govt. The mere mention of President Zuma in his public statements is the worst kind of diplomacy emerging from a Republican President. The President must respect the refined data provided by the OP operatives.

    Besides, a person who seeks asylum in another country does not go through the normal own-country immigration channels, but travels through the bush and presents oneself to a forein country for aylum. BA SATA UBUFI

  38. H.H please learn to stand on your on and not associate yourselves with criminals.RtB used you during 2010 campaigns to the detriment of your Party’s performance resulting in the current status of low popularity.Take your breath and analyse the tactics Sata and you notice that there nothing new.I have a question for: Do you think deep down your heart that RB never stole public funds and that his children are clean? If in doubt let the courts determine these cases.We want all these cases to form precedents for future embezzlers like you perhalps. You involvement with RB and MMD is time wasting and detasteful with you Party membership and inner circle if you dont know.

  40. mwanya ba………le mulekakwa this year.these hungry hyenas(hh) are thirst with blood no wander they want civil war in the country we know them their masons bakananwa ba milopa.lekeni sata atake he was annointed by GOD through the zambian people.your hatrate for sata will never help you.our country is at peace no crisis.and tell you so called mabolaw lawyer not to bring confusion in our country you cowards.

  41. Some bloggers are intelligent some are dull. But everyone has the right to express him/herself. The right to hold an opinion and share it. Denying a person this right is denying him/her the very human essence.

  42. @kantanshi. With due respect to u my brother or Sister. Can u provide me proof of HH ever saying he hates Bemba speaking people. Please do. Or is it a statement that’s been repeated, rolled over and over again that its appeared to be the truth when not. Please no emotions or insults Kantanshi, just quote a speech,press statement or anything where HH said he hated Bembas.

  43. namudabwa bafika#la.this is sata`s first aswer from the persistance oppositions baking.tachilandalanda chi mudala.sata is at plot 1# why ukulashupana na baice.seleni tubombeko,ba idio#t.if u have stolen the law will visit u.if u misconduct,u will be visited by the law as well.period!

  44. One fun thing you are forgeting is that,commonwealth,or international community did not vote for Sata,they are not going to vote for you. It’s zambian citizen like me who is going to vote,them are still eating and busy driving their economy through unity. And you business spending little resources donated to you to fly here and there. Please sit down ,ask your self,why are majority zambaian not following us,why are they sitting down and watch sata?

  45. It will not help the opposition gain millage by ranting in a foreign land against Sata. Sata is president of Zambia until 2016 whether you like it or not. Give alternative policies to Zambians so they vote for you , than always ranting political wolf that is not there. Zambians are fed up with your baseless hatred against Sata. You have lost even the little support you had from sympathizers coz of your insipid behaviour. Why always insulting Sata? Does that make you enter state house….what a dull bunch of creatures Zambia has. Shaaaa.

  46. Those three or so morons will never get votes from us.If Sata makes boofbs we will vote him out and why are you panicking now.Did Sata free the country when he was facing charges under Ruphia.that strategy to punish zambians so that we rise against an elected government wont work.We zambian dont change power like through imperial methods your are trying through amsterdam.That lawyer is being paid by Ruphia using plundered money and you busy following him like headless chickens.Wake up RB is using you.If the problems is the police denying you permits to hold rallies,using other channels to reach the masses like what Sata did.Count how many rallies did Sata hold before campaing period.Research you morons. We cannot afford to be in a state of elections all the time.We have by elections, hav

  47. We have by elections in mpongwe and livingstone, are being prevented from campaigning? You are even free to utter mapatizya nonsense and no one is harassing you morons.You wont be take serious by the international community by spreading falsewoods.Abandon Ruphia or you will be de-campaining yourselves.Deal with tribal tag and move on.I thought your degree is helping, but alas to it seems nothing of that sort.And now I believe Sata is a real political strategist than all the four of combined.mind you Ruphia is not a politician, but one who thrives on corporate and political appointments like nevers.HH belongs to the corporate world, but even there I hear is an egocentric, ethnocentric ***** and very authoritarian and paternalistic manager.Poor people skills who abhores ethnic diversity.

  48. RB and the gangwant to profit from the economic situation that will come with the expulsions from commonwealth.But it will never happen wenyo

  49. When God wants to destroy a sinner first he makes him MAD this is what has happened to our President I cannot believe he can make such statements involving another country, did he check with Zuma that these three were looking for asylum, please Dr Kaseba have you failed to tone down your husband, he is an shame to Zambians with integrity.
