President Michael Sata has said the opposition leaders, Nevers Mumba for MMD and Hakainde Hichilema for UPND shunned today’s Labour Day celebrations because of they are ashamed of the lies they have been peddling that the Head of State is not in good health.

President Sata, who graced the Labour Day celebrations wondered what kind of leaders, Dr Mumba and Mr Hichilema were, who wished others dead.

“Today Nevers Mumba and Hakainde Hichilema are all not here because they are ashamed they have been preaching that President Sata is dying. Does a dying person look like me? There are many people who can take up the leadership in the PF from me. They have tried witchcraft but I am still here. What type of leaders are they who wish death for others” President Sata said.

President Sata challenged the two opposition leaders to show good leadership by attending national events and understand the challenges the workers were facing instead of avoiding them.

“Ask them that, what type of leaders are they who wish others to die? If they want to be leaders they must come here and understand your difficulties. Tell them that if they want to be your leaders, they must come here and celebrate with you and understand what you are going through,” he said.

Mr Sata said he was concerned with the hatred exhibited by the two leaders to the extent of peddling lies about his health adding that even if he died, he would still be with God who was responsible over his life just like anyone else.

He said that Dr Mumba and Mr Hichilema should not be worried because PF had capable leaders who would take up the leadership of the party in an event that he died.

  1. Okay Mr. President, this labour day and not Never Mumba and HH day. Why talk about them all the time? Focus on bringing about sustainable development

    • “So Mr. Shamenda take-off your jacket and put on your overall, and take your Mr. Hikaumba with you…and take that ka ma Joyce(Nonde)”.Ha ha ha…ati that kama Joyce.Bakashi babene abo muleyeba ifyo yama.King Cobra fyaume.

    • But the talk of ailing Sata, Sick Sata, dying Sata is very much out of context by opposition! What a strategy in wishing your Republican President death? You would wish they would talk about developmental issues and how they are going to rule when they win and power handed over to them be the incumbent. But ever wishing him death. May be these guys were responsible for Mazoka’s death so that they take over which one guy did! Even their propaganda online media peddles same message and now they have resorted to referring to any death by road accident as sacrifice! What kind of thinking is that? Is that the opposition? They have brought village reasoning that anyone who dies has been bewitched. All death is deemed caused by PF. That must be opposition of the early 1960s, indeed.

    • Did you people hear Sata’s speech, I heard it on radio. It was hilarious, Sata webange sana. Unfortunately he forgot about the Chibombo minibus accident.

    • IT’S EASY NAIMWE BA SATA – JUST GO JOGGING ON CAIRO ROAD AND EVERYONE WILL SEE THAT YOU’RE FIT AND HEALTHY….

  2. As MMD we welcome the publicity. Talk about us whether positively or negatively, you are still giving free coverage and we welcome that. Thanks Mr President

  3. pn this one sata 10 vs hichilema & mumba 0.

    mr. president, what do you expect from a free mason?
    theirs is to kill and nothing more…
    as for pastor mumba, he is slowly losing it.
    he is a strange christian if at all there is one.

    • john,
      i have been listening to the 19:00hrs news.
      the president said many things on top of this.
      its just that qfm just picked this one out of the rest.
      thats journalism…

  4. Another thing Mr. President is that labour day is suppose to for workers to celebrate their hard work and equivalent rewards. Zambian work so hard but most are working for foreigners and see nothing of their hard work. We want Zambians to working for Zambians not for Lebanese, Somalians or even the Chinese. No more bringing investors lets invest in our own people (train us and give access to funds).”Zambia will only be developed by Zambian”

  5. sure!!! mr president… some people tried witchcraft on you but are still here??? do you know them?? is it under 5 HH?? Is It why you were so ill almost dying, hiding in your bedroom??

    Is it also true that pastor mumba,, i mean pastor nevers mumba prayered for your healing,, that why you are alive today??,, or is it Dr kaunda had to take you to is witch doctor in india???.. am just asking with no malice

  6. the speeech was not insprising .however if we go back did mr sata attended any state function while he was in opposition.l will leave it for other to judge.

  7. But the truth is that the opposition are busy saying he is very sick so its better he clears the air. Zwd calls him ailing president a proof of the wish as that zwd is fully funded by upnd. Let’s grow up!!!

    • you mandingo its not a wish but reality. whether you like it or not the truth is that the man is near the end of his life. how I would love he asked God for forgiveness and not consulting witchdoctors and peddling lies for sympathy I have never head the opposition leaders talk about his health, is it in his ears only?

  8. What a hollow and irrelevant rhetoric from this president! Someone should have reminded him that it should be about labour day and nothing else. He has said nothing about the plight of the worker but chose to lecture on witchcraft.
    He has already forgotten that he is the architect of rejoicing over other peoples’ ill health, probably his dementia has reached a very advanced stage.

  9. Even on the day of the worker its politics from Sata? Now you see why foreign media thinks you’re repressive,nutty and fitch ratings want to downgrade zambia?

  10. Probably the most hilarious speech.I have read it.Nice ba Sata.No dull moment…epashili pakuleka yama.

  11. I have never heard Nevers or HH saying the president is sick. The person I have heard spreading this true romuor is Winter and the stupid one. I read also on online publications who qoute ‘reliable sources’ presumably sources within state house. I also learnt about the presidents secret trips to India and london, to do only what God knows. Why should the whole lot of a president subject us to such mediocricy on labour day? Infact we are back in Kaunda days where politicians want to hydjack labour day celebrations, shame on you

  12. But the talk of ailing Sata, Sick Sata, dying Sata is very much out of context by opposition! What a strategy in wishing your Republican President death?

    • Ok it’s very much out of context when it is your president at the receiving end. Please spare us your hypocrisy!

    • HH actually paison Andy. It is in the public domain. Andy had his last meal with this chap called under5 politician.

  13. President Sata is playing off-side. Labour Day is a national event at which the people of Zambia expect the President to articulate important policy matters. At his level he need not dwell on petty issues at such occasions.

    In fact, neither Nevers Mumba nor HH have ever been publicly heard to talk about President Sata’s health. Talk of his health have always emanated from his PF Ministers. Therefore, it is agonising to learn that a Republican President would sink so low as to respond to gossip propagated at the Markets – and to economise on the truth.

    If the President is sick, we can only pray for his quick recovery.

  14. Is Sata serious? He is a head of state there is a place and time for everything not every day is for partisan politics….there are so many things that have happened over the past few weeks,months and he has time to crack jokes. Its no surprise that this man doesn’t see the importance of holding press conferences.

  15. but ba LT, this is too edited. atleast you could have given as a verbatim like ZWD have done, then we can make our own assesment

    • Why is KK insinuating himself into the PF political arena so much? He would be better respected if he worked for humanitarian causes as most retired presidents do. You had your 27 years of dictatorship old man.

      Step away gracefully!

  16. opposition needs to get organised otherwise Sata 2016… he is just trying to give them some advice on politics so they have a chance

  17. Nice speech…humor is good for the soul.Even Obama sometimes does things not according routine or what the speech writer prepared.Just last week he defied his advisers by walking to the podium while jiving to Florida`s rap song.

  18. Mr PRESIDENT, the one who talks about your health is WYNTER KABIMBA. Please get your facts right for once.

  19. Unbelievable! How does an entire Head of State behave like that? Lusaka Times, I do appreciate your prerogative on what to publish and what not to. But I just feel you needed to respect the intelligence of your readers by going verbatim. What happened to day at the Freedom statue was a tragedy of great proportions. You have a Head of a nation talking about witchcraft and bald heads at a workers’ function covered by the International press and attended by diplomats accredited to Zambia. And PF cadres must find justification for this kind of behavior? Our President embarrassed and didn’t reciprocate the respect his audience accorded him. Workers filed by his dais in droves and numbers and honored and saluted him. To get what in return? The Talk of witchcraft and bald heads! My God!

    • The meaning of ‘Sata’ in vernacular speaks volumes about him. It means ‘Talk without thinking things thru’. There is a reason somebody came up with that name in President Sata’s bloodline. Its a mental disorder and the damage to the Country is huge and repairs after his rule will cost a lot.

  20. I might be wrong here but I am ready to be corrected. I can’t remember Mr Sata, when he was in opposition attending any such event. Is it amnesia on the part of the president or hypocrisy? I think a precedence was set by one Michael Chilufya Sata.

  21. The mason HH and the run- away Pastor really wish you dead Mr president. Just pray for them so that they will be the first to die before you do. This is how the Lord God punish death wishing people like these two guys.

  22. Unfortunately, Sata has joined the ranks of the most stupid, uneducated and clueless presidents of all time.

  23. MMD Chief Bootlicker, you only show up to comment and to criticize when Sata says something; anything!! When HH was spewing the racist filth about Veep Scot you characteristically retreated into your shell; tortoise-like, until the danger had passed for you to again rear your ugly face! If he ever becomes your president, how do you imagine all those “white” diplomats to whom you will go on hands and knees begging for aid will think of him having banded white people as stupid?

    • you i***** do you understand nyanja? HH said uyu muzungu niopusa but you in you stupid wisdom decide to put your own racist words, mulesambilila imwe bakabwa this not kasama

  24. I have never seen KK this happy as i actually saw him during this year’s labour day ceremony. I think he is very happy and comfortable in HEMCS’s leadership.

  25. @ Floyd Chitalu and @ Mature there is something wrong in your heads. It is Wynter and President Sata himself who talks about the illness of the President. I have never heard Nevers and HH talk about the President being sick. What is making him jittery if he is truly not sick? Why is he afraid of his own shadow? The President never ever attended any National function during his time as an opposition party leader, so what has now changed? That is why all of you have to close your barber shops. I would hate it if I were the President to have advisors like Floyd and Mature because they would never tell me the truth. They would lick my ass through and through in the name of supporting me. **** off men!

  27. I think it is supposed to be Acting acting Chief Justice or Acting (Squared) Florence Mumba. The stupidity is striking the lunatic level. And reading Sata’s speech at the Labour Day function, one is left with no option but to conclude this man is seriously mentally challenged.

  28. I WONDER WHY THE PRESIDENT IS CONDEMNING HH AND NEVERS MUMBA FOR NOT ATTENDING THE LABOUR DAY CELEBRATIONS WHEN HE HIMSELF NEVER ATTENDED A SINGLE GOVERNMENT FUNCTION WHEN HE WAS IN THE OPPOSITION.

  29. Ba kateka and where was Chipimo, Gen Miyanda, cosmo Mumba? where they present with you or you just wanted to talk abt HH & Mumba

  30. How will they learn about workers problems when his(UKWA’s )police state arrests the pair for mixing with people at the market?If these guys wanted to know about workers problems thay need to go to the work place .Alas! the norm nowadays is they risk being banged up into a stinking police cell on a friday and then the people in offices disappear or switch off their mobile phones.

  31. This president hallucinates too unnecessarily. He is such an embarrassment each time he talks. When he talked of Mpika witchcraft overcoming other witchcraft this sounds a joke but hey the man is into very serious witchcraft. He can’t live outside without the help of witchcraft. He hates bold heads that is why he attacked kk and others with bold heads during labour day function. He talked and behaved like a mad man, not so?

  32. Guys sata thought he was a star when he refused to attend national events in both Mwanawasa and Rupiah’s govenment. Tell me not to waste time on these petty issues. He promised us bread and butter so just remind him to give us because he has only one yr to go. 2015 is the start of our compagning and no one will listen. MMD did not want to listen to people and zambians waited for that day. The resignations by opposition MPs has finished PF. Come 2016, pf will be disappointed and will be the first party to save one term. People are no loner foolish and are more educated than when MMD came to power in 1991. Wait and see.
