VICE-PRESIDENT Guy Scott says Zambia is committed to ensuring that science and research are maintained as the bedrock of all health programming and policy formulations.
Speaking during the signing ceremony for Investing in Health in Africa at the US-Africa Leaders Summit, Dr Scott said science and research was the basis upon which quality health could be achieved.
Dr Scott said the Government had adopted the vision to provide equity of access to quality health services as close to the family as possible.
He said the realisation of this vision would be difficult without the country promoting research and using research findings to improve targeting and selection of appropriate interventions for the betterment of people’s lives.
The Vice-President said the Government had set up the Tropical Diseases Research Centre to be the main centre of health-related research.
He also said the country was in the process of setting up a National Health Research Authority to regulate and coordinate all health-related research.
Dr Scott said Zambia had conducted research in malaria treatment which had led to national policy changes in treatment from Chloroquine to Artemisinin Combination-based Therapy (ACT).
The Vice-President also said a cluster-randomised trial in Zambia showed that the provision of ART in maternal child healthcare facilities nearly doubled the uptake of ART by pregnant women.
Health Minister Joseph Kasonde, during an interview with journalists in Washington DC, said the world was looking forward to seeing Africa as a big participant in the area of science and research.
Dr Kasonde also said although the health signature talked about HIV and maternal health, among other issues, much emphasis was placed on the Ebola virus and lessons learnt from it.
He said the message coming out of the signature event was the need for countries to be prepared in the event of an outbreak of the Ebola disease.
The Health minister gave assurance that Zambia was prepared to handle any possible outbreak of the disease.
He said personnel at entry points of the country were told to look out for symptoms of the virus and immediately quarantine any individual suspected of having it.
Dr Kasonde also said America was impressed with the Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) in Zambia.
He said there were so many limits by the World Health Organisation on when one should be put on ART.
Dr Kasonde said Zambia initially started ART when one’s CD4 count was about 350 but moved to 500.
He said the country later started putting anyone found to be HIV-positive on treatment immediately regardless of their CD4 count.
Dr Kasonde said this resulted in having less infections, thereby making it possible to have an AIDS-free generation.
The picture would have looked better with Ukwa in a wheel chair
no it would have been nice with our first ladies big smile. Sata must be really sick.
Something is wrong with this picture!!
A WHITE VICE PRESIDENT IN ZAMBIA IS LIKE A BIRD ATI VICE CHAIR WA NSOMBA IT CANT WORK LIKE THAT
@Nubian Princess you are 100% correct
Muzunga wanga.Love this man.If you don’t like this waba itolay.
Spokes you’ve spoken; muzungu wanga or muzungu anikonde. That’s black people’s mentality regarding whites. They can betray their own people for this ‘massa should love me’ or ‘ I love massa’. Please have some racial pride. What has Guy Scott done? Really.
@Nubian Princess
I have taken interest in your comments and see that you like to demean and insult people, some you don’t even know. Have you searched your soul to see how much pain you have been going through in your life? For some of us who know you, are not surprised. You live a morally shoestring life. Watch your words, they are slowly biting in you. Comment on the subject matter and not on people as if you are a saint, you moron.
@Sick Saulosi
Leave my Nubian alone iwe mungongo.Walepa kumwenu.Just because she doesnt share you views doesnt make her a less moral.Basopo
@shi mwamba wandi, thank you for coming to my defense.
Some people on this blog are just bullies.
Wow, look at Michelle. Gorgeous black woman. She is 50 but looks thirty. I would love to marry someone like her. This is how you do it ladies. Keep your shape. Too much ubwali na mosi with no exercise will make you fat! No white women for me either. Once they reach 40, their skin turns gecko like and they look way older regardless of plastic surgery!
@Shi Mwamba,
Iwe ka Saulosi you are in the same camp with Nubian nonsense who relishes on attacking people he/she hardly knows. He/she collects cheap gossip from disgruntles and spreads it. A person who does that has serious problems of their own, and that is Nubian Princess for you. Saulosi you must grow up.
Dr. Charlotte Scott is the 1st.. looked stunning!! None of you ladies can compete with Charlotte… Not even Kaseba wenu.
White Scott and wife pausing on behalf of predominantly BLACK Zambia and black Obama and wife pausing on behalf of predominantly WHITE USA.
Both black and white racists are gnashing their teeth. Heaven is for all races. Praise God for Mr Sata’s choice of this white brother.
For this I forgive ba Sata for whatever weaknesses he may have exhibited as President. As for new Constitution, another party will give it to us. PF have refused to do so.
what irony, a white man is head of govtment in a black mans country and a black man is head of government in a white mans country. The irony is just palpable!!!!
Picture of the Day, wonderful. while the opposition is busy with Amsterdam, we are busy with Obama. Haters!!!
@Shi Mwamba, sick Saulosi is so right. Nubian has this nack of insulting Zambians in general. She finds it had to stick to subject matters but very easy to generalize insult to Zambians…people she does not know and who certainly do not know her as well. She’s the only blogger here who consistently use sentences like ‘Zambians are….e.g. daft, damn, fools etc. Even Saulosi the General of ‘divergent views’ never insults the populace but specifics.
Nubian, please leave us Zambians alone with our poverty, backwardsness and whatever loathing sentiment you have of us. We have other major fish to fry and do not appreciate your insults.
Mrs Hon Guy Scott is still a hotty! I think she has class and I prefer her to be our First Lady – say what you like!
I’m sure Dr.Kaseba would have loved to be in that picture.Something real big must have come up for her and her hisband to miss this once in alifetime opportunity.Anyway for once the real minister of health was representing Zambia in a meeting discussing health.
But Scott shouldn’t lie that PF built the Tropical Diseases research centre.It’s been there for a long time.
Me thinking Kabimba is saying ” My face could have looked better”!
Your Kaseba is crying from envy… Nabakumbwa, she really regret to get married wrongly.
Ba Nostradamus naimwe, ati Kaseba regrets to get married wrongly? To the contrary, she could not have lived in state house, seen places she has seen and enjoyed the privileges that she is enjoying. Above all, she will be looked after by the state and inherit Sata’s assets when he passes on. She could even get a toy boy thereafter. So what is there to regret?
@2.3 just the face she has to look at in bed.
This is the News I am talking ABOUT LT !!
ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION ONE WORLD and Jesus Christ the Lord of all. Black, White, Red etc !!
Mai Guy Scott well done for represinting us !
Please people tell me what Guy Scott has done? All this hero-worship is getting on my nerves.Anyone who has interacted with white people know what they think and say about black people. If it was a white president in the White House would this meeting have taken place?
Science and technology ended with Kaunda’s era.The reality is that Superstition and myths are now the bedrock of Zambian society. Lets have a science re-orientation that starts from early childhood.
Thats my Sikote !!! Couldn’t agree more.
I like the picture.A black man managing a predominately white America in the same picture with the only white vice president in a predominantly black Africa.It couldn’t be any better. Sweet !!!!
Scott is the man.
Have not seen this picture on ZWD. They must be choking with envy. smh
Zambian watchdog can`t put it up.Those chaps are allergic to anything positive coming from this government.Unless if it was HH. Anyway he pays their bills they have no choice but to bent toward under 5.
*bend toward under 5*
@Saulosi FS
Please make me understand. How do you execute your lab work with one eye on the Internet. Isn’t that the same eye you need for microscopic work? You are always at the top of the news in an idle way. Your work is highly sensitive–looking for viruses is no joke. You can’t let your brain behave like one (viruses) or become one. It’s no wonder you are as thick as a brick. It’s a great pity really.
@Sick Saulosi
For your own information you inbred rascal viruses are not seen through the microscope.
@Saulosi,
Surely there are times when you use the microscope for something related to you work. You need your eye for that, but as I can see in your picture you see the world differently and your long ears make if difficult to hear what normal humans are saying. You brute. By the way don’t drool when you make a comment. Take your time. Make sure your English is right. You are always making errors. Do you understand what I am saying young man?
Safe and secured……..there was no need to screen this one, otherwise, they wouldnt have been that close, picture perfect!
The one thing I dislike is seeing this racist musungu as our vice President.
let me tell you people and mark my words you will remember I said it, the one mistake the PF govt made is to let this owner of nkumba farms which treated its workers terribly and paid even worse, to let this former minister of agriculture in Chiluba’s regime that presided over the destruction of namboard and other viable agri cooperatives to become vice president. Time will tell, he already talks to you as if you are all kids including those of you who love him, well maybe he is right you all have an inferiority complex, he is a musungu who looks down on blacks and has conned all of you..wake up please!
You are right. Black people get this huge smile when they see a white person. They are very racist people. It’s like racism is in their blood. In this day and age they still think and say black people are lazy, intellectually and racially inferior. They have utterly no respect for black people and Africa even when they are born and live on the African continent they still look down on black people. Open your eyes and see them for what they are. They only smile and pretend to like you when they are getting something from you. Everyday they insult Africans in their speech and actions of which am sure Scott has done plenty having been born in the colonial era. Phew! Sometimes I get worked up when I see how black people will bend to kiss the ground that white people walk on.
You say all this stuff but, have you looked at your own behaviour as a people? If you can not love and respect yourselves, or even value your fellow black man, what do you expect?
You mistreat your fellow people, ati ni kaboi, and you want to act holier then thou?! Grow up, grow some and if you’re not happy about something, look within yourself first and start the change from there.
The problem with you people is that you hide behind your keyboards, on the street, it’s a different story.
@7.3 9mamba hold it right there! I live what I speak. If it was a face to face forum I’d speak the same way I’ve spoken here. For one thing I have no one under me who I call ‘kaboi’. Even those Kabois are treated better by their black Zambian employees than by whites and Asians. But they still go to whites and Asians and take that treatment (and work even harder for them) but they would never do that for their fellow black Zambians.
And how do you know we mistreat our fellow people and are acting ‘holier than thou’? Do you know us personally? You certainly don’t know me. I don’t need to change anything because am not guilty of hero-worshiping a white person while looking down at my fellow blacks. The only person who needs to grow up is you because you’re not capable of debating…
@7.4 continued
…..intelligently and without getting all emotional and making assumptions about people you don’t even know. I speak of what I’ve seen and heard. And yeah I haven’t been happy about this that’s why I’ve spoken about it. And no one is hiding under any keyboard because we have been posting under these pseudonyms long before this topic came up so why haven’t you accused us of hiding then? Only now because these comments have struck something deep inside of you. Looks like you need to take your own advice and ” look within yourself first and start the change from there”.
White that black that whith out any clue of who all these people are as in real life is a bit shallow and says much about ones character! How do you Judge a total stranger? Europeans have them, those can even kill innocent people because they dont approve them being black, orange yellow etc…. how are you any different from a white extremist or a Jihadist?! Food for thought!
For many a milenia, Zungus have been the source for a better life for Africans and I mean Africans not the black Americans…and you wonder why Africans smile to them and not you? The original Africa was dark and riddled with disease. The great chiefs could not adequately handle malaria, cholera, TB, neonatal and maternal deaths, and the like. The escapades in Africa by Livingstone & Co reduced mortality from such. All major inventions that make life bearable have been developed / invented by the muzungu you wanna hate others for pretending to love. The great chiefs conmmanded their subjects to respect the bugaz for that. It is a trend that has been consiously and sub consiously passed on from generation to generation. The mere fact that we have a modern day diaspora says it all.
I did’nt even read the article! That picture is wrong Nubian Princess. Look closely at Michelle, with teeth grinding, false wide smile. But you can see she’s like, “Dr Christina Kaseba, Where are you!” As for Obama, he is like “come on you guys.” Oh I feel psychologically ill, I am so far removed from identifying with this picture! Anyway, Dr Charlotte’s got a nice ass, a bit like Pippa Middleton at HRH’s wedding.
Exemplary!
All the best outcomes people.
Iyee…… clip clip ba waver Ba Scott, the wife walked and posed elegantly on the red carpet.
Role reversals…..black continent-white VP,white nation-black POTUS….over to ya backward Europe show us what you’ve got.
Jamaica has had several white Prime ministers, what good has it done there, that island is still a ghetto except for a few tourist areas. So for you people deluding yourselves about this musungu you need a reality check especially when you look at his past, I support this govt but i make an exception when it comes to Guy Scott.
That’s right! Bauze.
Guy Scott is running Zambia whether you like it or not. He does most of the work except swear in people. And FYi, I have met Guy Scott in person. He is very smart. Little wonder Sata appointed him his vice president.
@2020vision, is Jamaica in Africa?
Compare Zambia to South Africa where they had white prime ministers.
@nostradamus, I made reference to Jamaica because it is by far a predominantly black island nation, as for South Africa are you seriously telling me the blacks enjoyed economic prosperity there during the days of white rule? Even today in SA blacks are trying to recover both psychologically and economically from decades of deprivation at the hands of whites. Listen, I don’t hate whites but I hate racist whites, I also don’t like Mugabe because he betrayed his people by giving land to his political allies when it should’ve been distributed equally amongst all capable blacks with agricultural skills regardless of political allegiance.
@Guy Scott . I say abash Inferiority Complex!!! Please are there no smart black Zambians that can do the job, where are Guy Scott’s kids are they in Zambia, have they integrated with Zambians, why didn’t Guy Scott marry a Zambian woman (there are many beautiful and intelligent Zambian ladies) of whom this is his second wife, the first also white… of course it was his choice but that choice speaks volumes about a person. That “intelligence” of his almost created a serious problem with South Africa, some of you would’ve had to start getting visas even for short visits to SA because of what he said last year. So really is it worth it, the man is just enjoying the limelight but the decision to give him the boot was made 2 years ago.
@ Guy Scott, i have also met guy scott, when you say he is smart, i really wonder what kind of smart you mean. i had a totally different experience
Er don’t get carried away with the comparisons! Obama WON tough elections. Scotty is Sata’s pet project! He was appointed to bring an image of education to the office! Over and above suitable Black indigenous Zambian Women… Okay. It is not a true picture of equality in Zambia. White, African, and Asian groups rarely intermingle nor marry, nor assimilate each other’s cultures.
That’s very true. In fact Obama has endured a lot at the hands of white people throughout his presidency. I have met white people who have even acknowledged that Obama has received so much disrespect and insults because he’s black. What they have done to Obama they would have never done to a white person. Don’t even comment about Obama being president in a majority white country if you don’t live here. Those of us who live here have seen everything and it’s been ugly. White people can be cruel and relentless in their persecution of other. In his entire presidency he’s never had a break from insults and disrespect from white people. Zambians please just shu.t up about Obama being president in a majority white country. Just sh.ut up!
Stop it! Why name calling? White that Black that! Your statements say much about your real charachters! Yes there are people who think a white man is a God just as there are ignorant Whites who believe all balck people are poor and shitupid! Some black Africans have blood white relatives and never see colour whatsoever but fellow humans. We are all the same regardless the differences! People are just appreciating the inborn fairness of Zambians whom for some reason can be the most accepting people on earth! You should encourage such acts for there is too much madness going on in this world!
Think of the children dying in Gaza, what skin color do they have and at whose hands are they being killed? what color is he? A muntu is a muntu period. Be wise and make a difference!
There is more hope for a fool than you.
Foolish African leaders emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds. We surely can not dare to invent the future with such subservient leaders. This African morons are queuing up at the White House to sell our grandchildren’s souls…Thomas Sankara and Patrice Lumumba we miss you!!
F*olish African leaders emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds. How can we surely can not dare to invent the future with such subservient leaders.

Sankara and Lumumba were murdered by their own people.While it was the white man who conspired,it was the black african man who drew his sword and eventually killed his brethren.
Those Bob Marley messages are meaningless.Bob Marley would have condemned Nelson Mandela for his stance after his release from Prison.The world is not as simple as Bob Marley saw in his days.The world has changed with Globalization.Zambia is just trying to fit into the status quo.Guy Scot presence as Zambia’s representative is just okay.
Besides,why is it that the constituents of Bauleni Compound(Lusaka Central in general) always vote for a non-indigenous candidate?
First in was Dipak Patel and now Guy Scott.It shows that they look at things beyond ones skin colour.
Viva Guy Scott.
Please go and research again about who murdered Lumumba and Sankara. ..its just shocking how uninformed how some fox can be!!
In spite of everything the picture looks nice though. Charlotte looks really nice in that dress. She must’ve been pinching herself there. And Michelle Obama? Always classy. Love that dress. Look that arm. Na basuba vaseline white petroleum jelly balebeka. Beautiful.
President Scot, not that stale so and so we gat at state house. Thank god he didn’t represent us in the US. It could have been a big embarrassment.
Zambia you are sending leaders around the world who can hardly walk what a shame.
Namayo bravo. Obama has no real power, because in the two houses, he has less seats and majority. So in fact he cannot pass any law without approval of the so called Tea Party (fascist ok ‘conservatives’). It was demonstrated with His pet project, the Medical Bill, which he nearly resigned over. This is about the only thing he was able to gift poor Black&White Americans. That and bringing the troops back, but do they ever insult him for that!! A lot of black Zambians have no clue to how different white people are to them in nature! The idea of superiority is ingrained in them. In UK, it is rare to see whites at the pub with blacks enjoying a social. There are pretentious blacks who think they are in with whites, but they usually suffer from an inferiority complex.
Very wrong and misleading view. Maybe its your personal experience. My experience is quit different, Mostly white people are reserved and tend to be friendly if you are already personally known to them. People are mean in every form of color and if you play inferior anyone can dominate you. When a white person is being mean you are quick to call that racism and yet black people are known to be more cruel and untrust worthy with each other. Black culture and white culture are different, and I would rather have white friends because they are predictable, reliable, they keep their word and when I come across the mean, I quickly put them in their place and I earn my respect.
At times it pays not to comment,the USA senate 56 Democrats,out of 100,and the house of representatives has 198 Democrats.even though Obama is a Democrat,not all Democrats will vote on his side,to say health bill is the only gift Obama has given the poor is being lunatic,the USA economy has recovered greatly.this is why Zambia need a new constitution.in Zambia never heard president veto any bill from parliament.
What I don’t understand is this butt-kissing of white people by black people. It’s like we’re born with it.Is it because they enslaved our people and colonized us? All the while they don’t want black people around. Even the U.S Attorney General said it when he referred to Americans as ‘racial cowards’ because of the lack of social interaction between black and white.One newspaper article talked about how blacks and whites work together but they don’t interact socially.Zambians and other Africans don’t seem to get this even though it’s been evident since colonial days.Look at where white people live.Do they have black Zambian friends who go to their homes to hang out? Do they go to black Zambian homes and hang out in black neighborhoods? One white SA summed it up this way: the…
91.2 continued.
One white South African summed it up this way: The world doesn’t need black people.The world can survive without black people.
@Zambian Namayo, very true well said.. you have said it as it is, as much as people try to deny it there is a problem, yes it can be a bit of a strategic move to send over GS and he might bring over a few more investors but for us to gloat over this as some are doing above is a pity. What is the whole point of independence??? I refuse to believe this Guy Scott that brought in yellow maize from Argentina when white Maize from Zimbabwe was cheaper back in 92 has honest intentions. I for one refuse to be a sheep and follow the herd of buga worshipers of whom it is interesting to see cuts across political lines..
@Zambian Namayo:
You have really hammered on this topic but it’s like trying to convince PF cadres that Sata isn’t fit. They just won’t have that. The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of white people will never accept blacks as equal. This is how it has been and continues to be. There must be some white people who probably don’t have an issue of equality with blacks but that number of whites who think so is so minuscule you can count them on the fingers of only one hand. I interact with whites on a daily basis because of the nature of my business, I have yet to meet one who truly appreciated me as a friend. One way or the other they drop a hint surreptitiously to remind you there’s a chasm between you and them that wont be bridged in our time, may be in future.
@Zambian Namayo
My sis its not HERO WORSHIP. I pity you. Guy Scott, Given Lubinda & Wynter Kabimba made MMD loose grip of POWER.
They used to effectively debate in Parliament WHERE NO ONE could challenge them the REASON EVEN TODAY Scott handles Presidential issue effectively MORE THAN SATA himself.
The REASON SATA ‘partially’ dropped Lubinda!
Lets debate the skin color/tribe in the Head. Ths Guy has contributed GREATLY TO THS LAND.
To be Honest I hate ‘stupid’ white people BUT ALL who r family in Christ I love !
THIS WAS REALLY GREAT REPRESENTATION BY DR GUY SCOTT AND HIS LADY MRS CHARLOTTE SCOTT. IT WAS REALLY WELL DONE. THANKS YOU GUY FOR THE GOOD SHOW. WE LOVE YOU GUY AND CHARLOTTE. GOD BLESS YOU.
19.1 Chikubabeniso- SOME EDUCATION FOR YOU.
As per the USA Constitution, the U.S. House of Representatives makes and passes federal laws. Facts:-
As of the 113th Congress, following the 2012 elections, the Democratic Party holds a MINORITY of seats in the House of REPRESENTATIVES and a majority of seats in the United States Senate, as well as a minority of state governorships and control of a minority of state legislatures.
Get you ducks in a row before telling people they are wrong. We’ve been in a worldwide recession, and America is trailing behind leading industrial nations for the first time even China has taken lead economically.
Here is an extract of PW. Botha’s speech to parliament!!:
….”They are good in nothing else but making noise, dancing, marrying many wives and indulging in sex. Let us all accept that the Black man is the symbol of poverty, mental inferiority, laziness and emotional incompetence. Isn’t it plausible? therefore that the White man is created to rule the Black man? Come to think of what would happen one day if you woke up and on the throne sat a Kaff*ir! Can you imagine what would happen to our women? Does anyone of you believe that the Blacks can rule this ccountry?”
@Patriot Abroad, that is not true. America is not trailing behind any leading industrial nation. America recovered quicker than any member of the OECD. Most European nations have been anaemic in their recovery. The UK had the largest growth in the 2Q growing at 3.1% but this was surpassed by the US which grew at a hefty 4% . China is still a developing country and it can still grow at rates of up to 10% per annum. The UK and US cannot even grow at Zambia’s rate because these countries are already developed.
All a lot of nonsense. Everything everyone has said here is partially true but its the way you say it that matters , you might be revealing more about your own biases depending on how you talk. Its better to take issues with individuals and not with races or based on individuals race or else you wont be able to fit in with the changing world, youll just be left with a few tribesmates and endulge in primitive thinking.
There are many good white people. They are truthful, compassionate, emphatic and respectful to both both black and white colleagues. It is great knowing them and I would defend them any day. Those good whites do not include Scott. He is cunning and sly. I personally had great hopes when he was appointed, expecting him to constrain Sata,s habitual excesses, coming from West European culture. He has not uttered a word against the POA to allow freedom of Assembly. He has been untruthful about Sata’s illness. He has been reckless with words such as those on Tongas and South Africans. He has shown political cowardice on buying opposition MPs. I expected GS to raise the level of our democratic practice. But I am sorry he is just an opportunist like Namulambe. Our country is worse off by him.
Zambia advertized itself most in USA….having accommodated Dr Scott in Government as VP is better than any speech you can make to attract investors or win loans from International Community. White people love one another….Thanx strategic Sata for understanding the world in which we live!
@ monko! yours is the most fair comment i have read. how can one judge the world based on races? truth is we are different races and one should expect differences in whatever form. even among ourselves we have issues with tribes, Tonga this; bemba that; lozi whatsoever. lets judge the world based on individuals. As for you ‘zambian namayo’ you really have serious self esteem issues. do you have any idea of how many Africans (Nigerian in particular) who are in Europe working their lungs out cleaning toilets and other unskilled jobs? some of us have ve been in Europe for 4 hrs (concluding PHD at home), when we observe such happenings we understand why ‘some’ whites might have reasons to look down on Africans.
Guy Scott and Obana can eat the feces dropping from my bottom………unless people
Awesome pic, an African white Vice President. I love Zambia
Guy scot and the wife look lost, they are not sure they are the rite pple to be in that pic. kkkkkkkkkkk
This photo is a breath of fresh air. Had Ukwa gone there, we would have been seeing trousers hanging on bones. Thank good Heavens for saving us from Ukwa Charles Katongo who would have embarrassed us.Via Barack, Michelle, viva Scott and Charlotte.
Some comments are simply sick. Is it not possible to have a rational discussion that can contribute something positive to society without insulting or being offensive to other people’s humanness?
Bravo Guy! Bravo Zambia!
Zambia under president Sata is the most free country in Africa. All the citizens are treated equally without prejudices. I’m proud of Sata and Guy Scott. Their humility is unequaled. I recall how Sata and Scott mingled with the downtrodden in 1991 as they waged vicious campaign to dislodge one party political system. You should have been there. The two politicians interacted with people in the manner that made more and more of them ditch UNIP and join MMD original. People who talk ill of Sata and Scott are probably novices who are carried away by cheap political instincts of the modern day clowns. They do not know how far these two have come.
Harboring resentment against anyone either because of color, race or tribe is like slapping yourself in the face and expect that other person to feel the pain. The ones we hate and talk ill about are free of pain, but who is in pain? Enjoy the day.
How far have they come? Ifyabupuba iwe
ABASH RACISM!!
Guy & Charlotte Scott, irrespective of Party affiliation, or if You agree/ disagree with them are ZAMBIANS & equally entitled to represent Zambia as Scott is democratically elected, & didnt come to this position via a Coup, like some so called “Real” African leaders, on the continent- Full Stop!
Disclaimer; This does not mean I am P.F, just being objective, truthful, & mature
We can live side by side, & Develop Zambia as Zambians, so Racists, think again about negative comments based on Colour/creed.
Rest my case.
Iwe Zambian Namayo, come to Australia. There’s no restriction here where a black man can live. we interact with whites and vice versa. pay wise, there’s no difference what a black man and white man gets if you’re doing same job with same qualifications. Zambia needs a white man. we need each other. well done GS. On this one i salute Ukwa for choosing him.
Twala ubupumbu ku Zambian Watchdog uko mwikala mu paradise yafipuba, mwefipuba mwe.
What was Scott hiding with his hands. Am sure there was no button on that jacket.
@TheEngineer(Australia) stool pid fu with a peanut iq
Zambians are the most petty people I have come across, just look at the comments!!! My God!!
Understand where people are coming or debating from when it is about race. I grew up on the Copperbelt in the days that our neighbours, schoolmates and teachers where white, coloured, asian or boer. Life was good. We never experienced any sort of racial profiling/discrimination for anything. Then I went to live in England, US and most recently Nertherlands. i was disilusioned about my life when it comes to race…especially in the US and England.
A white friend was asked in my presence why he was hunging out with a monkey. It surely takes wits not to become a racist under such circumstances.
Most of black racists are so because of having been racially abused.
ZWD and Hakivotela Hichelma (Free *****) are dying inside
A Ruwe, I don’t think that signs that one is sick are a reason good enough to keep them away from aspiring and even leading in the highest office. There are many more disease infested persons out there that are aspiring for and even holding important portfolios that could be discriminated against going by your suggestions …
Delegating to Guy Scott is best move by MCS than assigning arrogant, overzealous and over ambitious characters like Kabimba. It may not appear politically correct or disrespectful for our fallen heroes who fought for the Independence of Northern Rhodesia, but still Guy Scott is very much Zambian, (born and bred) and times have changed.
Guy Scott is an all weather friend of Michael Sata and it is in such trying times that you need a friend you can totally rely on close to you. Featuring perhaps the only white vice President of a Sub-Saharan African Country at such high profile gathering also sends positive signals about our Country to the International Communities.
@ Zambian Namayo, is saying is very important for us know well the world we live in. I agree with most of her views about perceptions whites (+ other races ) have about blacks and we need to really open our eyes and ears to fully understand the conspiracies against black people and their resources. When you read about the undermining or bad mouthing of Obama by Americans you really get disgusted that a person who has worked hard to change the image of USA abroad and pull them out of wars and saved their key automobile industry and general economic downturn within a short period of time can be treated like that. However,I don’t agree that praising Scott for his work to get PF in power is white ‘ass licking”. He worked for it ,got elected,got appointed,works so shud be respected
Am tempted to make a few rebuttals such as to 432, Mrs Doubtfire and a couple of others, but I’ve decided to bow out of this debate gracefully. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. High fives to you 2020vision, Patriot Abroad, Wantanshi, Jay Jay and Zambian4life. Great debate guys. For the deniers; go on any American website such as Yahoo, MSN or Fox News and read what they are saying about Obama, black people and this very conference you’re praising.
@Zambian Namayo,please take your deserved rest from this debate! You have made the point and educated those who might not have bothered to know more about what goes on in the “White man’s world”. The Zambian populace is so consumed with watching the European soccer league such that they spend little time reading and dissecting information concerning Africa and the black race from diverse sources. Even in soccer,one can see the hatred against black players who are proving the point of equality of races and equal endowment of talent- they are often victims of racism even from the very countries they work hard for!! Happy to know our country has people like you who are well informed and knowledgeable about this issue! Keep on awakening the masses!!
@ Zambian4life, cheers.
That is our money gone! If MCS had signed the deals the 5% signing commission was to got to Chitulika village in Mpika but now with Grandpa Scot; the funds are going to a Scottish village near Glasgow!
You guys/bloggers are a bunch of educated losers. Your Minister of Health is busy LYING to the world that we ready for Ebola and you busy being petty on our VP.
@Goncalves. The comment was based on another comment which stated Obamas presidency, has aced the economy. However you know, the situation is not about growth rates or comparators with Zambia. UNDISPUTABLE:- Obama’s approval rating of his performance has dropped. Here is how the American people see things right now:-
A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey shows that only 40 percent of respondents now approve of President Obama’s job performance. This is a new low for Obama in the NBC/WSJ poll, a one percentage-point drop since June. Americans are not only frustrated by the president, however: Respondents expressed deep discontentment with Republicans and Democrats, as well as the overall political landscape and the economy.
A truly historic moment for the world to see , a black USA president receiving a White ACTING President FROM AFRICA who would have ever dream t of this ………Martin Luther King will be smiling in his grave on this moment .We should give this picture for equality of races …..PEACE FRONT (PF) ..???? LOL
Where is my bloody comment?
