Quite a tight schedule for the president. Even my self as a youth can be exhausted with such a schedule, but hey you can always wind up such a busy Friday with an ice cold castle lite & a meal of grilled spare ribs with chips na Greek salad pa side not forgetting a beautiful chick too

Mosi ilanchita bad in the morning

@No way backwards whats wrong with having an ice cold castle lite & a meal of grilled spare ribs with chips na Greek salad & beautiful chick by the side??

#10 Comment By Ola On April 18, 2013 @ 5:27 pm

I think the president is doing well with these projects bearing in mind that the previous governments treated western province without any serious development. But this looks like a politcal move to win votes. Moreover, building a stadium when Lewanika Hospital in Mongu is is bad shape is another misguided policy.

All work & no play make you dull

The hospital was an MMD project completed before 2011

#13 Comment By Maxwell On April 18, 2013 @ 5:35 pm

This government is working very very hard. everywhere I look there is development. Salute them!

#14 Comment By Anti Maxwell On April 18, 2013 @ 8:48 pm

The only PF project in Western Province is the STADIUM which no one asked for. Shangombo Hospital is an MMD Project. You can search for old pictures on Lusaka Times. Sata is just Keeping Up appearances!

#15 Comment By Luhila On April 19, 2013 @ 12:53 am

Keeping up the projects started by the previous govt is very good; we should build on the foundation built by KKs, chilubas and mwanawasas of this world, keep up the good spirit zambia, africa looks up to u as a good example, in my home land botswana we are not so educated and our political life is boring, I enjoy the political evolution up there at Zeeed.

The President would have killed two birds with one stone by staying an extra day for the Kuomboka. The ceremony would have been more colourful with the President around!

#17 Comment By og On April 18, 2013 @ 5:42 pm

Development, my foot. He is just launching projects which may never even take off, the hospital was built by MMD and these guys just painted and do the official opening ceremony.

#18 Comment By Power2000 On April 18, 2013 @ 6:10 pm

Just get to grips with the fact that things are changing for the better! Did the MMD build that hospital with their own money? If indeed as you suggest it was started by the MMD government. When will chaps like you learn to take ownership of what belongs to you the Zambian people and paid for by the Zaambian tax payer?

#19 Comment By Umwina Zed On April 18, 2013 @ 6:33 pm

Power2000 its time Zambians rose above petty rationalising. I agree with you.

#20 Comment By Things fall apart On April 18, 2013 @ 7:23 pm

og ulichipuba sana!Learn to appreciate what the governement is doing.The Hospital was build by Zambian taxi money not the MMD.Follish thinking indeed!!

#21 Comment By Zikoma On April 19, 2013 @ 1:00 am

again as @ Luhila above has already pointed out, to develop our country it should not just be left to MMD, UNIP, or other previous govts, we must continue building further what is already standing or at least maintain it and not neglect it as MMD neglected UNZA and the gemstones for sooo long….so thanks Mr. head of state sir keep on moving we are watching u or else we zoo you out.

#22 Comment By Malikopo On April 18, 2013 @ 5:58 pm

Who says president Sata is a sick man, come on you opposition leaders wake up, ba Sata is a fit person, how on on earth can a sick person who has just returned from China and is busy going all around the country be a sick person. come on H.H, Nevers and Chipimo junior just admit that Pf is a hard working party and president Sata is the right person to bring development to Zambia and unlike R.B and Chiluba who were just busy stealing the countries wealth and made 13 million Zambians poorer.

#23 Comment By ZAMBEZI EXPRESS On April 19, 2013 @ 4:30 pm

Who said Sata is sick?Personally I have never heard the opposition leaders mocking Sata but Mazoka and Mwanawasa were mocked by Sata.Infact Nevers Mumba says If Sata is sick he’ll pray for him.No one is wishing the demise of the president,it’s Kabimba and crew who are faning the flames.The destruction of any powerful empire has happend from within,so PF open your eys.

Sata is doing his bit as a president. Lets mature and learn to appreciate any good work.

#30 Comment By peter zuze On April 18, 2013 @ 7:38 pm

Wasted expenses when all this could be launched by District commisoners in respective districts…maybe there is no need to have them after all when the snake has grown wings and can now fly…

Serious developmental projects in the Western province. Thumbs up

#34 Comment By EnkA On April 18, 2013 @ 10:10 pm

Haha,is that an MMD aeroplane that Sata used with our MMD colours? Our infiltration of this useless & thuggish PF is working i must say.

#35 Comment By Zikoma On April 19, 2013 @ 1:08 am

Thats the spirit @ Enka at least ‘this THUGGISH PF is working’ uli mwana wa mfumu iwe kapala ulatasha thumbs up my bro. tipitilile pamodzi nabakawalala ba PF basebenza bwino zoona mudala.

#36 Comment By MundiaM On April 19, 2013 @ 4:28 pm

HEMCS has proved all doom proclaimers wrong. Shame on all Sata will die next week wishers. Some may even die earlier than Sata. Mr. President continue with all development projects, whether started by MMD or PF as it is our tax money spent.
Enka, you are surely hallucinating! To you, everything that is light blue is MMD? How about the sky over every Zambian, is it also MMD? Learn to think with your head & not your behind.

Let him go a mile further and honor the Barotse agreement. Isn’t it past 90 days already? This sugar coating grass hopping from primitive village to another “ground breaking” projects that have very little to do with reality, won’t just do. Lozis must show seriousness and reject this immature political patronage successive Presidents have apportioned this backward province for a long time. The choice is truelly theirs.

Heard, he failed to break the ground as there was no pick and shovel ! He left immediately without cutting the ribbon;

#40 Comment By THE RUMBLER On April 19, 2013 @ 7:40 am

TELL THIS SO CALLED MICHAEL THAT THE STADIUM IS NOT ANYTHING BUT A RIBBISH PROJECT.hE SHOULD HAVE STARTED WITH A UNIVERSITY PROJECT FOLLOWED BY A HOSPITAL AND A CANAL PROJECT.
HE KNOWS VERY WELL THAT THE SHANGOMBO HOSPITAL IS MWANAWASA”S BABY AND HE HAS BEEN REMINDED TIME AND AGAIN THAT OUR PEOPLE IN BAROTSE THEY NEED A MODERN HOSPITAL NOT THE DILAPIDATED LEWANIKA HOSPITAL, WHICH WAS BUILT BOFORE THE CURRENT BRITISH QUEEN WAS BORN
