George Chellah, special assistant to the president on press and public relations has described UPND Hakainde Hichilema as a merchant of death who whose purpose to run for public office is anchored on vicious circles of tribalism and racism, slogans of hatred and death wishes for his political competitors. This is in reaction to Mr.Hichilema saying the norm in the civilised world is for the country to know where the leader has gone for obvious reasons, such as security, diplomatic considerations and for the stability of the country, as it leaves no area for insinuations.

“Yes our president deserves a holiday but the office he holds demands that where he is on holiday is known. Can you imagine David Cameron (British Prime Minister), Barrack Obama (USA President), Angela Meckel (Germany Chancellor) disappearing without people knowing? In fact, for our colleagues, we would even be seeing holiday pictures of the president laying on a camp chair; on some beach somewhere but in a known place,” he said.

“Imagine if it was former presidents Rupiah Banda or late Levy Mwanawasa (MHSRIP) who announced that they were going on a 14-day working holiday “somewhere”, there are no points guessing who would be the first person to be making noise in newspapers and morning radio stations”, Mr Hichilema said.

Below is the full press statement

STATE HOUSE RESPONDS TO HICHILEMA

LONDON, Monday, February 3, 2014 – STATE HOUSE- UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema is a morbid and queer man whose purpose to run for public office is anchored on vicious circles of tribalism and racism, slogans of hatred and death wishes for his political competitors.

Mr. Hichilema is an abominable leader who craves to see pain and anguish in others with the hope of getting to the top. This is typical of him, he is the proverbial ‘merchant of death’, the man who takes pride in wishing others ill or death.

Therefore, his utterances on the whereabouts of the President do not surprise us because when everybody including himself were on holiday with their families during the festive season and the Head of State was busy sacrificing by working through out this period, it never mattered to him. But now that the President has taken his vacation, he wants to infuse his cheap schemes to gain political mileage out of a genuine moment of rest for the Head of State. We thank God the Zambian people don’t see him going far and have realized that his divisive politics of hate, tribalism and racism pays no dividends and are now shunning him.

Indeed, Mr. Hichilema is a frightened little man who has realized that he is carrying the burning sun on his back especially with the UPND’s dwindling political fortunes, but wants to disguise his leadership failures through reckless, alarming and abdominal utterances over the President’s health.

We urge him to stop being childish and petty-minded. His attempt to engage the Presidency on trivial demands like whether the President is indeed in the United Kingdom or not, barely 24 hours after State House confirmed is out rightly ridiculous. This level of self- centeredness and desperation should be avoided by leaders especially those seeking public office. We must respect our systems of governance instead of embarrassing ourselves on the international platform through such empty and petty political discourse.

    • What a nitwit the author of this press statement is! How can they degrade the office of the presidency like this? clearly we have the wrong officials in statehouse, how can you write such unbecoming trash and dare claim it’s from statehouse.It sounds like it came from a brothel in the back streets of New Delhi

    • Sophomoric and Classless..it is the only I can described this statement and very sad and embarrasing that it is even attached to the presidency ..an office supposed to inspire citizens to work hard and generate more taxes for national building. HH pays tax, respect him for that at least

    • Paul Chellar….. you are such an 1d1ot! HH is not the President of Zambia and is not obliged to inform Zambians when is on holiday like Sata is. If you cannot distinguish this simple fact, u should not be issuing statements on behalf of any living person.

    • Don’t fly off the handle George. take it easy.

      No where did HH mention tribe or sickness. Don’t try to force us to see things we did not read in HHs address. I seriously don’t see the connection between disclosing a Holiday resort and Death and Pain

      Don’t behave like a Kazolo who has just been caught-out with his fingers dipped in the purse. From your reaction, one wouldn’t help but conclude that your KATEKA maybe onto something suspicious or shameful.

      And please, let the phrase “Merchant of Death” rest. You have really used it to death.

    • Banne, is George Chellah telling us that the President is not okay? HH did not mention death, tribe, race or sickness. Then I saw the other one (Rowe or something like that,) giving us the mans life History earlier. are we safe?

      I think we need to see photos of Ukwa on holiday.

    • HH is a true racist.He rarely calls Vice predident Guy Scott by name he instead attaches a race card to it.He always calls him Muzungu opusa and again he always call Sata a Chimbwi.If there is someone who needs to better his language it is Hikainde and not my learned boy George Chellah.

    • Merchant of death? Has someone gone to kick the bucket in the London winter? Did HH take him there.

    • All I can say is the truth hurts so much that it leaves some people with some degree of insanity as exhibited by Chella. HH simply called a spade a spade. He simply raised the questions which most of us who employed Sata are asking.

      If they continue hiding Sata’s where about each time he goes away, one day one brave Bemba soldier will just move into state house to fill the vacancy.

      HH talks about real issues and provides good advice for free. His advice actually cost millions. He charges multinationals a lot of money to advise them.

    • Sata should fire this good for nothing PA. The boy needs to go training to learn the art of issuing presidential statements aimed at damage limitation. But instead he issues statements which just confirms the people’s suspicions.

      Let them release photos of him at Heathrow. I asked a friend of mine today to check if the Zambian president indeed arrived in London. She confirmed that no records show that Sata in the UK. All VIP people who enter UK have their records kept separately from ordinary people because they use the VIP clearing lounge.

      Guys we need to demand Ka Chella to be fired for defiling the the presidential status left ,right and centre.

    • NDOBO NDOBO where is this guy, maybe on vacation too? Ndobo, demands what HH repeated word to word. My credit to Ndobo!!!

    • George Chellah is a product of a licking co.ndom, a boy without sense. George is a true manifestation of a Sata’s evilness and this boy together with his a$$-licking hyena boss sata are headed for extinction soon. Watch this space. Chellah ch1kala cha wiso na sata, you are headed for doom. Watch this space we mbwa iwe.

    • So which British official met with our excellency President Sata when he arrived at heathrow?The Brits must find it odd for our president to leave sunny weather in Zambia and go for a holiday in the dead of winter in London.Who does that?

    • This description of HH is exactly the opposite. This is a good description of his boss and we all know this. Eg, who is practicing visible tribalism between the two?

    • I cannot believe this statement comes from the highest Office of the land!

      It is STUPlD beyond belief! Gutter politics at its worst! This Chellah fella has taken Zambia down to a pit latrine level.

      We need statements on development and implementation of the Constitution, not this SHlT being regurgitated by this IDI0T!

    • Pure kolwestan language and hatred for sense, embracing mediocrity and uselessness as usual. The way your kolwestan mentor and hopeless leader used to cry and blow the whistle every time Mwanawasa was taken ill, now he cannot be questioned the same hen he’s clearly using taxpayers money. Most people on this site don’t use brains to think but your tribal foolishness. Whe HH says anything, he really tickles your arse.holes.

    • This boy will be stateless soon!
      He has become very big-headed to the point of insulting the entire nation!
      When a dog is about to die, it loses the ability to differentiate between food and feces!
      MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN!

    • WHOEVER WROTE THIS ARTICLE IN LT TO SAY, “GEORGE CHELLAH INSULTS HH” IS VERY MYOPIC AND EQUALLY AS TRIBAL, RACIAL AND INSULTING HAS HH HIMSELF. IN THE FIRST PLACE I WONDER WHY HH IS LEFT TO INSULT Dr GUY SCOTT FROM TIME TO TIME AND JUST BEING RACIAL AGAINST Dr SCOTT. HOWEVER, IT’S NOT VERY DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHY. HH HAS NOTHING TO LOSE. HE HAS LOST HOPE AND CONVINCED HIMSELF THAT HE WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA AS HE IS A REJECT POLITICIAN. NEVER THELESS HH MUST BE STOPPED IN HIS TRACK FROM INSULT GUY SCOTT WHENEVER HE SEES IT FIT. GUY IS NOT ONLY A ZAMBIAN BUT A PRACTICAL ONE AND PEOPLE CAN SEE. HH STOP BEING FUULISH AND START IMPROVING YOUR POLITICAL IMAGE.

    • You are very right; George Chellah’s language, especially when reacting to HH is exactly the same tone and style as the Post Newspaper Editorials. Even the letters signed by the President in response to HH on occasions HH has written to State House sound like that. I guess State House Press Statements are edited at The Post.

    • Chella shut up! HH is not a tribal. HH married a lala from Mkush or Serenje just like Your boss’s wife Kas.e.b.a is lala. are you telling me HH is tribal against his wife and children? the problem is that your thinking capacity is low. anyway I don’t blame you for you do not know what Uncle BC meant to us! we had to gulf not for anything but for BC!

  1. Goerge Chellah is such a jerk………..maybe he should learn from Richard sakala before he continues to behave as though he owns Mr Sata

    • George Chellah is a product of a licking co.ndom, a boy without sense. George is a true manifestation of a Sata’s evilness and this boy together with his a$$-licking hyena boss sata are headed for extinction soon. Watch this space. Chellah ch1kala cha wiso na sata, you are headed for doom. Watch this space we mbwa iwe.

    • A jerk is you king Fisher who sees joy in the insolence the cowdung boy spews everyday. Sometimes its nice to have a heavy response to this nonsense. Bravo Chela.

  2. wat a petty response from Chellah, please people………. not only HH but every zambian want to know wr the president is…………How can someone announce that the president has arrived in england when they did not announce his departure to the same place? We were told he had left for an unknown holiday destination how come the destination has now become known? So whose lying? The one who announced the destination or the one who has jst announced the arrival? Why did they keep the destination secret only to disclose a fake destination now?…….

    • NOW I SEE THESE GUYS WERE GATHERED AS PF AND AGREED WHAT EVER HH SAY GOOD OR BAD WE SHOULD BE SAYING HE IS A TRIBALIST.THEY NOW KNOW ZAMBIANS TO BE FOOLISH AND DANCE TO THEIR TUNE

  3. While the cat’s away. Couldn’t get past the first paragraph. In the ‘civilised’ world this is what would lose someone a job. Zambia is civilised but its politicians sure ain’t..,

  4. I support HH’s request although I dont agree with his citing Western society (Cameron, Obama Merkel) for examples all the time. It looks like Africans always want to be like Europeans Thats where the problem lies.
    George Chellah, special assistant to the president on PRAISE matters should know he is a civil servant. He doesnt assume Sata’s political stance meaning he should not be firing pistols for Sata’s political arguments if he really knows his job

  5. Chellah’s language has been spoiled due to blogging to much….Other a high office like that one cannot address a Big Oppostion leader like that…Politicians mind the language that u use…The entire response has diverted our attention from HH’s Point to the bad language…..

  6. Chella has in many ways contributed to how badly Sata is perceived. Chella’s thinking is very petty which makes him not qualified to be Sata’s voice. It appears even after spending 2yrs at Plot 1, he still has not gained any experience on his job.

    The description he has given on HH is basically a Boomerang. He has jsut described his boss. There is no single malice in HH’s statement.

  7. Really this stoopid statement is coming from State House!? Do people in that house know their responsibilities? Do they know the President’s office is for all citizens including HH? Does Chellah know his job description? Why do all people who go into this offocr like Richard,Dickson, George become drunk with someone else’s power? Its like getting intoxicated from someone else’s dagga smoke

  8. People like George Chella do not learn from history. Presidents and parties come and go. Ask Unip and MMD. Time of reckoning is coming. Electronic media stays in archives. Ask those vocal civil servants in UNIP and MMD, where are they now? Most people like Chella should be prepared to go into exile. These are ponds that will easily be taken.

  9. What a load of bull from the presidency. That is unpresidencial response. Sounds like the usual Mmembe rhetoric! Chella my boy get a scholarship while you are in money to further your education. The post you hold is too big for you. Unfortunately, you are on the same level with your president in thinking. Childish!

    HH is far mature and cannot be compared to this PF failed project!

  10. Really this stoopid statement is coming from State House! ?Do people in that house know their responsibilities? Do they know the President’s office is for all citizens including HH? Does Chellah know his job description? Why do all people who go into this office get drunk with someone else’s power? Its like getting intoxicated from someone else’s dagga smoke

    • well man, normality is on a scale. Some tend towards madness while others towards an imbecile and others still in the normal range. You judge each by their actions and speech to gauge their level on the scale

  11. after reading the response, I have come to ma conclusion that it is chela who is actually morbid, if ever he understands the meaning of the word itself. HH raised issues of concern and not whether sata is dieing or not. the guity are always afraid goes an english adage. chela are you telling the zambians that sata is about to die? why jump to tribalism yet you practice it morning noon evening and night?

    • @ Matipa, couldn’t agree more.

      Also looks like HH is giving the PF government a good run for their money. I think he is also enjoying it. He is keeping them work ‘extra’ hard, to an extent that whenever he (HH) passes a comment they have to make sure they convene, from a confused PF supporter to the so called president, to compose a response. It’s the whole party and government against one! Surely this is embarrassing for the government. I will also try and have a go at them…

  12. Well said Chellah ! You rock dude.I have seen that some desperate(And petty too)opposition cadres have already started throwing some cheap jabs in your direction.Be strong boi.As they will be thumbing down this post as a result of unfounded emotions let me say that “Aluta continua !”.Bachepa sana !

    • Come on more thumbs down ! We don`t mind being hated for speaking the truth.Now i`m going for jogging i expect to find atleast 100 when i come back.Bring em on !!! Lol

    • Wow ! I expected to find a lot of thumbs down but instead it is thumbs up ? Looks like people on this site have a lot of humour today.Nice one ! @Nostradamus there are shoes specifically for running in ice kabili.They are called running spikes.

    • Be assured that if you think this little tantrum from small George has shocked and humiliated HH, then you think as a child. This reaction confirms to HH that he stings your PF and your Sata badly and only adds more fuel because he will continue talking and Chellah will continue issuing these hopeless statements and Zambians will continue reading said hopeless statements which in turn will fuel a lot of resolves to get rid of the lunacy in govt mu 2016 and put in normal people there.

    • Sata is simply reaping what he was sowing when he was in the opposition. You remember how Sata behaved when Mwanawasa fell sick? Sata actually demanded that govt should inform the nation about Levy’s sickness. When RB went for a one week holiday, Sata said RB was lazy. What should people say about Sata who has taken a two week holiday?

    • George Chella well said. This ka UNDER 5 has nothing to tell the people of Zambia. He has no agenda and direction. 50 years of independence, lets be serious with what we are opposing, not just opposing for the sake of gaining political mileage. People are happy with the construction works which are going on around the nation. Lets appreciate what the PF GOVT is so far. I think HH should start as a ward chair boy, so that you know what it takes to development the country. You are just too small to be barking too much.

  13. Basically, Chella is describing himself to be a F00L.

    If at all, he thinks HH is raising Trivial, Unimportant or Insignificant issues, why the HELL is Chella responding to such, when is representing the Presidential Institution.

    Could it be that the truth always hits hard to the core.

  14. Is this statement from the mouth or the opening at the opposite end of a human digestive tract from the mouth with two sphincters that control the exit of unwanted particles? Oh my God, this is a BULLS…. of statement to be from State House.

  15. Its only HH and his suppoters who are not aware of sata’ whereabout. it was reported on radio ,znbc tv1 online and picture were shownyesterday that sata had arrived in london and today a senior politician and a leader of the biggest opp poltical party speaking wothout consulting others. while! zambian politics …….. shame on blind followers.

  16. Chellah, there is a saying which goes like this, “IT IS FAR BETTER TO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND LET EVERYONE THINK YOU ARE STUPID THAN TO OPEN IT AND LEAVE NO DOUBT”

  17. In case you didn’t notice, I Fred Mmembe wrote the press release on behalf of George Chella. It’s a typical Post Editorial

  18. Young George Chella immature as ever…does he know who pays his wages. Its neither the PF nor Sata….as a professional which he is not its important to be humble and show restrain you never know who your next boss will be. Leave politics to the politicans.

  19. People, the Watchdog has confirmed that Sata is in New Dehli for a medical procedure. So no need for any further speculation.

    • And how does this little piece of info help you…has anything changed.? Guys take time and think…. If anything this whole kaak does not help you and I so lets find something sensible to do with our precious time.

      Am out…

    • Sata is a public figure, so the public has to know wherebhe is coz thats what he signed up for when running for that office.

      So why tell lies as a head of state. The truth has been exposed, so we are happy. Thy shalt not lie!!

  20. Wrong headline ba LT stop being sensational for nothing.You can’t call this as insulting this is speaking the truth and far much mature speech compared to HH’s use of Chimbwi on the president and father bwalya’s use of Chumbu.

  21. Where Sata decides to go for his “working” holiday is his choice. If Sata does not want his pictures while on holiday appearing in the press is also his choice. We cannot say that since Obama posts his pictures while on holiday, Sata should do the same thing. As a Zambian it does not affect me at all, if Sata spends his working holiday in hospital. Let us Zambian learn to talk about real issues.

    • As a non-tax paying Zambian it doesn’t affect you, I agree. As the tax-paying Zambians who have no medicines in the hospitals and clinics, who have to driver over pot holes and who have to pay exhobitantly to put food on their tables then come back and tell us we do not need to know where our so-called president goes on holiday.

  22. Chellah, you are still a young man to start creating enemies. Leaders come and go for one reason or the other. One day whether you like it or not and no matter how long it will take it is obvious you will not hold that position for ever and the people you are antagonising now will be waiting for you in public. Takenya M’fana, bola panshi

    • The young man is drunk with power. He feels he is also by proxy in power. In chewa we say “ulemu wa buluzi muyumba ya fumu.” Meaning even a lizard in the palace of a king will be comfortable knowing the respect and decorum accorded to the king is extended to all that is associated with the king. “Unyan’gwa”

  23. Chella was in need of ejaculation when writing that statement> hope he got out more from b***s and not just sloppy few seconds.

  24. CHELLA YOU NEED TO HAVE RESPECT, BEING IN THE CORRIDOR OF POWER DOES NOT MEAN TO LOOSE MORALS AND START INSULTING ELDERS YOU ARE VERY UNCALTURED.

    • Indeed he is. This UNDER 5 is just wasting our time by making unnecessary noise. We need people with positive contributions to the national issues.

  25. although chellah went to school he is very dull and stupid,where did he find this statement?there totally no link between what HH said and tribalism or racism. it shows just how confused people like him are.Senseless statement,Shameful

  26. “Can you imagine we are still quarrelling on the constitution making process when President Michael Sata promised to deliver a people driven constitution within 90-days. Mr. Sata kept repeating the same promises even after being elected during his address to parliament. Now he has completely changed and is saying there is no need for a new constitution,” Mr. Hichilema said.

  27. Whatever you chaps say is nonsense. Just tell us where that sick chap is. Dont create stories to distract our attention. Where is the Presidential Challenger? Why were we NOT told that this guys was going to London? Chella, are you hiding something? it is Not only HH asking on the whereabouts of SATA, all of us are asking coz we foot the BILL he is incuring in LONDON with alot of question marks.

    • Is’nt it hte same challenger which was banned and impounded last time ba kateka was here. Wenye muleke imwe. You think the aviation department will trun a blind eye to a dangerous plane entereing their airspace. Bufi

  28. Proof of what HH said is in this statement

    He said PF should just admit that they are political failures who are in a scramble for personal wealth going by the numerous contradictions, instructions and counter-instructions among themselves as no one seems to know what to do.

  29. Zed Politics……!!! I am very laka…!!

    “CHELLA JUST SAY U LOVE HH” & u want him to b the President of the Republic. We kno wht u r doing. Him & Chipimo r the PRESIDENTIAL MATERIALS tho Chipimo is not known.

    Viva HH Viva UPND.
    I am an ANALYST, even ba mudala ba Sata wants him to b the PRESIDENT.

    We happy for MUDALA’S tenacity tho later in his days has FAILED US.
    GOD UNDERSTANDS..”AGE”.

  30. I want to agree with the people who are in support for HH’s concerns. A responsible parent can not just leave home and let the family starts to wonder about. We deserve to know where our national leader is at all times. The hide and seek syndrome is for childish. To me all I see is that we are working with a bitter Govt. who do not like to be queried for whatever they like to do, my advice to you now is that please leave that public office for others who would respect the people who ushered them in. Threats will not take us anywhere. There is a Chewa saying that goes like ” Ukankala pa bwino dziwa kuti poipa paitana”. Be real and not Gong’a my friend chapwa.

  31. Chellah teka akasanga mulinso. Your old man will not be in power for long and who knows the man you are insulting could become your president. Tekanya boi.

  32. It surprises me why Chela has only chosen to respond to HH despite other people having queried state house. MMD youths were the first to raise the concerns and asked State House to inform the nation where the President would spend his holiday. Mr Magande was the first opposition leader who demanded to know where the President was going to spend his 14 day holiday. He even said, late President Mwanawasa (MHSRIP) would always inform the nation and that Mr Sata would even ask what type of aircraft LPM would use. George Chela in his “wisdom” chose not to respond. But because it’s HH, we see M’membe through Chela issue a scathing attack on HH. We have seen this this type of language in some editorial.

  33. Good evening

    Firstly, contrary to the headline, I do not see any insults in the statement. The language is extreme and subtle yes, but there are no insults. An appropriate term would have been “slander”.

    The other thing – the mere fact that HH has been given such attention by State House shows how significant he is held as an opponent. Why would you otherwise bother to respond “trivial demands” from a “petty-minded” person who is not a force to reckon with?

    Moral: “The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.” (From the Art of War)

    • The uproar is not so much that he ‘insulted HH’ per se, but that he is such a gaping and festering eyesore to the president’s office. Chella’s utterances of yellow, green and brown fumes of all sorts from so lofty an office as that of the president, degrades the office on whose behalf he is writing.

      Indeed, one is compelled to question the sanity of those who up-loud Chella’s unfortunate utterances. Much as he may be a street writer, he ought to know and it behooves him to write and behave as one representing the president’s office. Otherwise, it may not be a bad idea for the president’s office to subject his uncouth writing to some form of scrutiny and editing prior to getting it published. Do you concur?

    • I concur. It is not hard to recognise that there was no serious scrutiny or weighing of words before publishing the statement. I am also inclined to doubt whether there was any consent and approval from the highest seat, which in itself is a poor testimony of running public relations.

  34. Utter disgrace to Zambian journalism. Now, 50 years after independence, is this what we will call “professional journalism” in Zambia?

  35. Chella is a failure. His inability to respond to HH’s points show that he is ill suited to thr job. He is an emotional crap.

  36. I hope M’membe has not been put in charge of the country by the authority that was given mandate.

    I think that God gave a chance to SATA at this time to rule the country and not M’membe. Yes it was God who allowed SATA to be in authority at this time. Whether it pleased God or it was because of our hard heartedness is another issue which no one knows because that knowledge belongs to God Almighty.

    The FACT we KNOW is that God allowed SATA to rule, because nothing happens without God allowing it. Whether is ruling according to God’s plan or not – again that knowledge belongs to God.

    Also what we do know is that M’membe was not given mandate by the people of Zambia to rule this country. If God allowed SATA to govern through people’s vote then it followed that God did not at…

    • start with yourself.post your picture on your face book and tell us your link. you could already be a red lipped snake laughing at others who may even be negative. you think every other man is promiscuous like chimbwi no plan.

    • This could be true. Sata has been for the tests along with his wife and made the results public. Why the hesitation on the part of HH? Perhaps it explains the obsession with saying others are sick, others are dying. It’s a psychological phenomenon known as denial of the truth via projection onto others

    • But the article above has got nothing to do with HIV!! Let us talk of issues and not HIV status. Whether HH has HIV, Syphilis, Cholera or whatever . . . .Haleisa Haleisa HH2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  37. Now, if M’membe is using his power (if he has, just as he seems to think he has) to displace or overturn what God allowed and putting what he (M’membe) has allowed, he could be trading on dangerous grounds. Who is M’membe to overrule the people vote, and viz God’s hand? I cant warn him of any consequences as God alone reserves the right. He better be pleasing God in his actions because if God is not pleased with him – It is a fearful thing to fall in the hands of God.

    To the president, we may not agree with the he governs the country, but we remind him that whether we are in pain at his rule or not, the fact is the mantle is currently with him. If he decides to sale his ‘birth right’ he must reflect on what happened to Esau when he sold his birth right to Jacob. The consequences…

  38. What an insolent little boy. Either his parents failed to teach him to respect his elders, or he has swallowed some of his boss’s venom. He needs someone to wash his dirty mouth with arsenic.

  39. I wish to register my disgust at the level of dullness that parrot chella is showing.I thought the state has records on important issues or statements made by politicians.Chella should have first contacted his former boss at the post,znbc,times and found out what his current boss sata’s position was on the whereabouts of his predecessors and health status of his predecessors i.e levy mwanawasa,rupiah banda.unless certain bloggers were born in 2012 then I would excuse them for their uninformed bias on this article by a govt that uses the most uncivilized form of english to degrade sound and informed thoughts,HH like any zambian needs to know where sata is,he doesn’t need to keep us guessing,as long as he is president his every move must be made public to 13 million zambians.least you…

  40. @Wanzelu, Zambia Galu Watchers and company you carry heavy hearts. If you practiced magic you could have had the president gone by now! Wow! So what will it change if the tell you he is in the bathroom answering the call of nature? Wait for 2 weeks you will see him. Do you want to run or to replace him? Losers!

  41. That’s the message George, show this under five where he stands. infact I like it that it is you and not the President answering him, keep it that way and show him that even to you he is still junior in terms of experience in that you have held public office before, while he has not. I envy UPND and Hakaindes supporters because even when their leader has clearly failed they have kept the faith. Sata would never have survived in PF if three successive election results showed like this; 2006 25%, 2008 19% and 2011 18%. Some idiiot even claims that the ground is shifting, but Hichilema said the same in 2008 and 2011 even laughably proclaiming that UPND would get seats in Kanyama, Matero. Even wanting to be presidential candidate for the pact when Sata has always been clearly popular than him

    • Unfortunately what one does or says helps people to judge how mature one is, and from Chellah’s statement maturity is far from being a reality in his case, may be the same can be said of you.

  42. Reminds me of a saying I heard when watching one of those 70’s comedies called “Love Thy Neighbour” ( on YouTube ) and I quote – “When you lose your temper, then you have lost the argument”. This issue would have been put to bed if the trip was done in a transparent and open manner. A photo of the president arriving at Heathrow or wherever is all that was needed. What is with all this secrecy? I hope he will be fit enough to fulfill the many inivitations to countries like Mauritius, Sierra Leone e.t.c.

  43. Challeh mwaice u have dislayed a very relavant description of this racist and tribalist,a masonis who must be place where he belongs-in the cow dung. look at his mad supporters who claim to be wise yet are a bunch of educated fo ols.Bravo George!

  44. Am very dissapointed with these our political. Leaders.surely what are they teaching us the young generation.They are suppose to be people we look up to. But hey! Busy insuiting each other emobwachela.

  45. This is very sad! the statement does not fit the office of the president at all. Chella 2016 be ready to swallow that same bitter pill you have created for your self

  46. No, no! Please Mr Special Assistant to the President (Press and Public Relations) can we start having statements that show respect for the Presidency. This is not acceptable at all! The State, which you represent, CAN NOT DEMEAN A CITIZEN. Such a statement is tolerable if it is from a party spokesperson. I am really sad.

  47. Obviously this boy Chella thinks he’s in a circus. Whatever happened to respecting elders? In any case HH’s speaking for all the voiceless Zambians and his concerns are shared by most. This boy Chella’s doing a damn good job making himself public enemy #1. Remember his days of reckoning are coming sooner than later

  48. These two (Chella & HH) deserve each other. They both have very bad and undiplomatic/ugly language when it comes to expressing their feelings in public. It is really very disappointing.

    Grow up both of you. This back and forth on who is “more skilled in using coarse language” against each other is really very childish!!!!

  49. Mr chela,beta mind de u tok 2mi HH! If dere z somthing dat u r lukin,beta find gud means of findin it.u adastad!wat z wrog frm de young man said?

  50. I said in my comments on anothe topic that trading insults is the only acceptable form of communication in Zambia. I noted some of you did not agree with me – well?
    If this is how people at the very top level talk to each other – then how would you say I am not right in my characterization?

  51. Looks like HH is giving the PF government a good run for their money. I think he is also enjoying it. He is keeping them work ‘extra’ hard, to an extent that whenever he (HH) passes a comment they have to make sure they convene, from a confused PF supporter to the so called president, to compose a response. It’s the whole party and government against one! Surely this is embarrassing for the government. I will also try and have a go at them…

  52. George Chella is a rebellious witch with no manners at all…what a shame to have such an aweful bad mouthed arrogant person representing a dear country worse off our president. He should get out of that position and we probably dont even need him in the country at all…What a shame…How do you speak of elsders on an international platform like that…thats you CURSE!! and you will never prosper on account of your words

  53. Oops, did Chela just make reference to and possibly annoy hjs former boss Fred Mmembe by his ‘queer‘ remark characterization of HH? Sometimes he spews out words without understanding their meaning.

    Not sure what motivates him to write such viled press statements. Is rage, pride or downright sarcasm? But unfortunately his behavior actually reflects the larger Zambian society behavior. Differ with anyone and this js usually the language you receive in response. Even check the Post or the ZWD responses to their critics. It’s a society needs a reflection.

    • There’s only one confirmed qeer person in Zed I.e. Fred Mmembe andsome of his cartel friends. Maybe George is trying to step on Freds shoes.
      The culture of insults in the press was started by no other than the qeer man, Fred Mmembe. It is just an issues of fighting fire with fire not with water.

  54. Who cares about this HH who will never be president of Zambia. Mazoka died, it doesn’t mean UPND should adopt a cult of death obsession. HH is destroying UPND and probably secretly working for PF to help destroy UPND. New and genuine leadership is the only chance for UPND

  55. This Chella fellow is a liability,a bad communicator and so is his boss.Gosh, how did we end up with two uncouth villagers?

    Wake me up in 2016 when this nightmare is over.

  56. The uproar is not so much that he ‘insulted HH’ per se, but that he is such a gaping and festering eyesore to the president’s office. Chella’s utterances of yellow, green and brown fumes of all sorts from so lofty an office as that of the president, degrades the office on whose behalf he is writing.

    Indeed, one is compelled to question the sanity of those who up-loud Chella’s unfortunate utterances. Much as he may be a street writer, he ought to know and it behooves him to write and behave as one representing the president’s office. Otherwise, it may not be a bad idea for the president’s office to subject his uncouth writing to some form of scrutiny and editing prior to getting it published. Do you concur?

  57. Is this an insult? Why will HH to know if the President is sick so that the nation can pray for him? What type of prayer would come from a Manson alter and sacrifices? Chellah is simply trying to spell out the truth about someone’s insolence. So leave the President alone. Even our parents, we need them and have access to them almost all the time but there are times when dad and mum will need to recoil in their bedrooms without anyone’s disturbance. Whatever they do, its non of our business. Respecting elders must be the strive of HH if he needs progress in life. Bravo Chellah

  58. Bane, ngati matenda yavuta, we dont have to let everyone know by the way we react to genuine inquiry. Can LT go into time and publish articles written by George Chellah where Sata would bark at Mwanawasa or RB for going on holiday or treatment out of the country. The used to be a ussual chorus from George.
    And by they way, no one will ever break Sata’s record of tribalism even in 200 years to come unless a Bemba becomes president again.

  59. pipo insults are not jst mentioning body parts or f**k yo relatives no even jst question yo intelligence is tantamount to an insult

  60. Chella and Mumembe you seem to have both poor or suffer from selective memories. HH did not make a bad statement anywhere near what your now angel did to HE Levy P Mwanawansa. You should recall how hateful Sata was to the first family at that time. Therefore, Chellah and Mumembe spare us your childish language and reap what was sown by HE and it is time for him to swallow his own bitter meds. As for the post, recall also that you are the one who introduced the culture of insulting seating in president, hence relax and read the ZWD with pleasure.

  61. Seriously what is happening in Zambia when i read some of the statements issued by state house i feel like crying i think to be head of state is a top job and you need to surround yourself with quality not what is coming out of state house it is simply trash

    • All you are doing is:
      1. helping the Young Chella successfully campaign for a sounding PF victory 2016.
      2. De campaigning popularity of your boss HH
      3. Not advising HH well. For him to know that people of Zambia know him as
      shallow minded as you his supporters.
      4. Sata is President & not in opposition. If you think that winning 2016 G/election
      is by using Sata’s tactics, then you are not fooling but foolish.

  62. so is Chellah telling us the man is sick or George is undergoing some change of tubes too..?kekekekekekekekekekekekeke

  63. George Chellah’s kindergarten press releases are damaging the good standing of the PR profession. It makes some of us miss people like VJ who despite being part of similarly arrogant regimes, though less than PF is, knew how to handle such situations or statements that are making the young man so disgruntled and throwing vile invectives at the perceived enemies of his master. Can’t someone be kind enough to sponsor the young man to a decent PR school, provided he’s trainable.

  64. The tribal tag on HH will not work this time around as real tribalists are now being seen. So my advice to all those who keep labelling HH a tribalist, this lie is very much out dated therefore has outlived its usefulness. Try something else, if you can, though HH will always be vindicated. Evil has never prevailed over good. The truth always has a way of coming out no matter how much or how long you may try to supress it-Zambia shall be saved, in Jesus’ name. Amen!

  65. Oh my God – Chellah Why?

    You guys are in govt. You should be above board. If I were you, I would have not even reacted to HH’s statement because it meant nothing. You know you are in London (point one), you know the president is not sick (point two) so why the heck would you respond to HH – unless OTHERWISE of course You KNOW that the president is NOT in London and that you verily KNOW that the PRESIDENT is SICK.

    You are messing up the presidency Chellah naiwe.

  66. I find this Chella’s statement stupid, childish and empty. Young man don’t respond to anything that makes you stupid and dull. I am sure the president didn’t read your nonsensical statement.

  67. Is this statement coming from the Special Assistant to the President? it describe the type of president we have. Any sensible person can not allow such a statement to be issued on his behalf. Let those praising this lunacy count the comments above and am sure they will know what the majority Zambians thinks about this childish outburst. Chellah should learn to think using his brains and not bozzz`s

  68. The tribal tag with HH can break the country. History repeats itself. During the early days of MMD, the politicians from North Western province almost caused a civil war between Lundas and Luvales and this was headed by Anoshi Chipwaya.

  69. At State House we have forgotten how we mocked Mwanawasa, George Kunda, and RB. We forgot that when Levy was sick in london hospital, my boss even wanted to charter a plane to go and see for himself how he was jogging. My boss even applied for a medical board to have Levy checked. When Kunda was sick, my boss even phone the Zambian Embassy in RSA and the clinic where he was admitted to find out how he was. This is how stupid we have been and have continued to be so even now in State House where lunancy is the order of the day. Expect even more from me as we wait for HH to normalise things in 2016 which time I will be headed for prison with my other boss Mmembe who helps me write this trash. Thanks

  70. To all Zambians, including Mr. George Chellah. Let us be mindful the way we perceive and handle leaders of opposition parties. Today, the leader may be in opposition, and tomorrow will be President of the country! Remember FTJ, MCS? You will insult them today, and tomorrow they will be your Presdo! Please, let us respect each other, and not insult each other!! Naturally, we will differ in our thinking and approaches, but we must do it decently!! Name calling, half-truths, untruths, slander, misalignment, suppositions ……and the like will take us nowhere!

    • Actually even if PF wins the 2016 elections, George you have no grant that you will that Job. The day you will be fired will the day your house will turned upside down! Without mentioning there names, ask those who were under Levy (MHSRIP) when RB took over, they parked so quickly. Anyway, what is the difference between George Challa and BAD language?

  71. A proper president wud have a mature wise PA. “merchant of death, morbid” totally out of place, HH is a nationalist sata is tribalist and highly divisive,chela u a very silly in yo writing to HH to say the least.

  72. George chellah is a complete idi0t thus where he is behaving like a baby whose diappers have not been changed the whole day.The chap is always insecure and scared of the unknown.This useless press release is just good for the toilet,what does he think opposition stands for.Three years ago his master demonised Banda over travelling and he always demanded to know where Banda goes because he was using tax payers money.Chella young man slow down or else you will crash like thunder

    • @ Hatonga
      Mind your language to whom? If anything, Saka’s contribution is to mild to be considered. Do you realize that any civilized person is aghast after reading “press release” purportedly originating from the highest office in the Country.
      What a shameful and disgraceful language.

  73. You are today upbeat insulting HH tomorrow u wont be there the mood in zambia is in favour of damping PF at any time, u shud read that mood/temperature is fast eroding Pf dont pretend to please yo finished,divisive tribalist boss former colonialist informer!

  74. Now and then:
    BY GEORGE CHELLAH, 11 APRIL 2006 (The Post newspaper)
    Lusaka — PATRIOTIC Front (PF) president Michael Sata has written to Chief Justice Ernest Sakala asking him to appoint a team of three doctors to investigate President Levy Mwanawasa’s illness.
    And Sata yesterday said justice Sakala promised to react to his concerns about President Mwanawasa’s health after making consultations.
    A letter dated April 7, 2006 which was copied to Vice-President Lupando Mwape and Speaker of the National Assembly Amusaa Mwanamwambwa, Sata stated that he was prompted to write because he was concerned about President Mwanawasa’s medical condition.

    “On 31st March, 2006, the nation was informed through a terse press report that the President had been evacuated to a London hospital. There have…

    • CAN GEORGE CHELLAROTE REACT TO THIS.TYPICAL OF SATA’S BEHAVIOUR IN OPPOSITION.BY THE WAY, HH NEVER MENTIONED ANYTHING ALIGNED TO TRIBE, RACE OR DEATH. YOUR ONLY WEAPON UPON HH IS TRIBAL COZ YOU CANNOT CHALLENGE HIM ON ECONOMICAL ISSUES. TODAY WE HEAR HH IS TRIBAL, WHAT ABOUT HIS CREDENTIALS? YOUR LIPS ARE FULL OF HATRED AGAINST HH.
      COME 2016 HH THE MAN OF THE MOMENT WILL BE IN STATEHOUSE CONTROLLING THE NATIONAL ECONOMY WHICH IS BEING MIS-MANAGED.

  75. What do you expect from a boy brought up from a failed marriage,( broken home) chella ‘s father left his wife to stay with some prostitutes in kayama compound, he was working as a driver for CR bus services at the time, so chellar can be forgiven because he has no fatherly advice

  76. @ mwana

    please leave parents out of this mess. Sort out George Chella and dont insult his parents. Have some respect.

  77. I think we will be misguiding ourselves if we concentrate on George the Assistant President alone. Even in the presence of the President we have seen these insults come from STATE HOUSE, so It will only be logical to conclude that these are the standards developed at our State House. In the Past I used think State House was the highest Office with the creamiest standards but I guess I have been wrong. Insults In Insults Out…my hearts is bleeding. How can the President of all Zambians allow such kind of insults to come from his office? As for George, the Education you got is wrong my fellow youth. This is how HISTORY will describe you to your children!! So Zambians if you want to hear the best insults comment on State House.

  78. Kekeke kikiki, but bo challa muli chikali? Ka language is just sweet to make some one cry. I think both you Chella and HH have stinking language. Stop it imwe ba mambala (HH and Chella).

    Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.

  79. Well done young handsome George Chellah. Maybe that is the language they will be able to understand. What kind of prayers did HH want to pray? Mocking crocodile prayers? ZWD even lies that Mr Sata is in India. Did not the State House issued a press statement that Sata will be in London? So what was HH asking about? I am telling such political acrobatics will make HH go even deeper in the pit. People are able to know who is desperate or genuine.

  80. @ Evans Mfula @ Evaduco: You are a shameless plagiarist. You copied my comment @ 41.1 and reproduced it @ 71 word for word. You need to grow-up. Such kind of stealing is not allowed.

  81. Ala baane Ba Chella, your press statement should be civil. If I were you I would have written like this.
    Statehouse find HH’s comments on the presidency umbiquos and out of order. The presidency deserve a rest after so much hard working in uplifting the Zambian economy. its unfortunate that some citizens would find the 14 days holiday as an opportunity to gain political mileage, by speculating the whereabouts and healthy status of the President. Statehouse would like to assure the nation that the President is fine and well in London and he shall be attending to national duties as he has taken a working holiday. Statehouse therefore, expresses displeasure on anyone taking advantage of the president absence to sole grapes of division.

  82. HH is really under five. This chap will never ever step on the state house grounds. Common sense dictates that such characters are bound to be rejected repeatedly until they fizzle out. I agree with George Chellah, this HH is a merchant of death. When Mazoka died he saw an opportunity to become president, when Mwanawasa died he saw an opportunity to become president. Before and after Sata became president, he has been wishing him death so that he can seize an opportunity to become president. What kind of human being is this? He is queer.

    • for once let us address this issue of under five, really this hold no substance wealthy anything. What is the basis to say so?
      1. Look at the origin of the issue, PF, what has been their main slogans
      a. more money in the pockets – useless
      b. 90 days theory – useless
      c. low taxes – useless
      4. Dochi Kubeba – useless as it lacks the very basis of good governance (transparency)
      2. based on the above one can not expect such people to come up with anything to talk about let alone the under five issue.

  83. Mbinji Mufalo @76.1 Your Evans is a destitute and scrupulous moral wreck. May need some chiding from you for being a shameless plagiarist. See my comment @ 41.1 which he reproduced word for word @ 76.

  84. MAY BE HH YOU KILLED MAZOKA WHO KNOWS. CHELLA WHERE IS YOUR FRIEND DICKSON? VERY SOON YOU WILL JOIN HIM. HH PLEASE SELL YOUR PARTY TO OTHER PARTS OF ZAMBIA E.G LUAPULA, NORTHERN ,MUCHINGA AND COPPER-BELT PROVINCES .YOU CAN NOT WIN ELECTIONS WITH ONLY 3 PROVINCES NAMELY NORTHWESTERN, WESTERN AND SOUTHERN AS YOUR HEADQUARTERS.FAILURE TO DO THAT YOUR TIME WILL BE IN 2031.VIVA HH 2031 HH2031 HH2031,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,2031HH,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,2031HH. COZ AS AT NOW IF THEY HEAR THE NAME ATI HICHILEMA IN NORTHERN THEY THINK THAT MAY BE WALILEMA. VIVA HH.2031.

  85. I can’t believe that some people can even think Chellah’s utterances are within ‘norm’. What is his role? He is a mere press assistant for goodness sake! He writes utter garbage on a personalised level. Who’s uninformed views are these? His, or the Presidents? He even writes against things that HH did not utter. The fact of the matter is that he tries (and does deceive some Zambians) to appear very sophisticated by using ‘bombastic’ language that most of the time does not address the issue at hand. I believe his real role has been elevated to ‘heights’ that are completely out of his terms of reference. Even Sata doesn’t understand Chellah’s ‘spin’, but thinks the words are flowery enough to buy him statehouse time.

  86. “Head of State was busy sacrificing ” I like this one, this time coming from the horse’s assistant.

  87. I’m very happy to uncover this site. I need to to thank you
