The President swore in Mr Mumba Malila and Roydah Kaoma as Supreme Court judges at a ceremony held at State House today.
Justice Mumba Malila, State Counsel, was until his recent appointment to the Supreme Court, Zambia’s Attorney General while Justice Kaoma was until her elevation, Kitwe High Court Judge in charge.
The swearing in completes the process following the duo’s appointment to the Supreme Court by the President and their ratification by parliament in June this year.
The President congratulated the duo and urged them to serve the Zambian people diligently.
The ceremony was witnessed by Vice President Dr Guy Scott, Acting Chief Justice Lombe Chibesakunda, and a number of Cabinet Ministers who included Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda, Information and Broadcasting Services Minister Dr Joseph Katema.
Others who witnessed the event include Secretary to the Cabinet Dr Roland Msiska, his deputy, Ambassador Peter Kasanda and Permanent Secretary in charge of administration at Cabinet Office Margaret Miyoba.
I want to see the video. If Sata doesn’t show up on 19th sept NKENDA no bwamba
Awe mune, fulila limo, but knowing you chaps who hate the President, you will still say something against, because after firing Winter, you have still complained and praised him as a national builder.
An invisible president whose sole purpose is to swear in people. What a president!!!!
Iye!! BaOctopus. Mukenda NObwamba? Ninshi all along mula busha? Anyway, that your right to childishness. Enjoy yourself.
Who is standing next to Lungu? Kabimbe lol
@ 1.4 Kakolwe,
Taumfwa! Ati mukenda Nobwamba? Ninshi all along mula busha? Very funny!!!
How can a man who died in june(according our insane blogger Wanzelu) swear in someone ?
Truly repentant Sata ; no ranting sure about the constitution during swearing in- maybe it is true he does not talk, or is it economising the now small voice, to reserve for Parly opening?
THERE WILL EVER BE DOUBTING THOMAS-ES IN THIS WORLD.
How does Sata a dead person fire or swear in some body? Where are fresh pictures instead of these recycled file pictures that we have seen before?
Ba LT please learn journalism etiquette using latest pictures taken at the time the said ceremony took place.
Its not Sata swore in these guys its AB Chikwanda holding the instruments of power.
This another BUFI because I am 100% sure that Sata died on the 20 th JUNE at 02 : 00 am and he is currently hooked to a machine in Israel in the hope that he will be resuscitated one day.
This kind of lying is now getting out of hand. When is the PF going to the nation the truth about Sata ‘s death?
Zambia is ruled by a Ghost right now.
@Jomwa
Its ABC behind the scenes. Why no latest picture?
Witnessed by fellow lieing empty tins….we are patiently waiting for 19th ….the deadwood will not have anywhere to hide as a mounted police escort will pick him up from State house.
@ octopus
nomba whenever you walk ulasha ubwamba bobe?
I see Kabimba in the stripped tie. That was picture from the other swearing ceremony.
I want to see Mumba Malila.
fula tukamone umukulu pali iwe na bob east
Tukakutambilapofye.
Please strip and dont waste our time.
That is my president!!! Long live HEMCS, long live PF.
File Picture(what is the meaning?)that pic was taken years back. You can’t See Late Kabimba’s shadddddddo?
How come we are always shown a file picture?
Because a file pic is a good pic
Its because Sata is dead. He died on the 20th June at 02:00 am.
This is an achievement, within a week he has accomplished two favourite tasks, firing and swearing-in.
19 September: horses, guard of honor, speeches whole day long-loads of hours…can’t wait for my black President 🙂
This is comedy at it’s best, why use a file picture at a ceremony such as this?
YOU CHAPS, WHO IS USING A FILE PICTURE HERE? IS IT LT OR PF? I THOUGHT PF IS A POLITICAL PARTY IN LEADERSHIP. AND THEREFORE, IT DOESN’T PRODUCE LT BUT POLICIES, ETC. AND LT PRODUCES THIS ELECTRONIC PAPER AND IT CAN CHOOSE TO USE A FILE PICTURE OR CURRENT? SO, BLAME LT FOR USING A FILE PICTURE.
PF and LT have no choice but to use file pictures because Sata is dead. He died on the 20th June at 02:00 am.
@PETER,
You are trying to be smart by bringing in LT in Sata’s hide and seek games. You know very well that relevant pictures have always been used at Sata’s ceremonies until 3 months ago when he started ‘working hard’ as he is ‘fit and healthy’. It’s typical of PF cadres like yourself to always try to suppress the truth and keep on lying. No sane person will believe you that a newspaper can prefer an outdated picture to a relevant one. Why not keep quiet when you have nothing to talk about?
Imuntu nga amwipusha mule yasuka?I repeat what happened on June 29 this year ,at around 02:00hrs?Why is ZNBC showing still pictures of Sata even on important swearing in ceremonies even when Kabimba was fired the president never used the press conference to explain why such a senior minister was fired as he did with GBM?Continue living in fools paradise,as learned a hard way when we saw Mazoka in a casket.
Is that all he said?? This is not even funny anymore. Knowing ba PF they are impressed by this. Look at the one above, ati ” that’s my President.” They really don’t expect much of him, do they?
LOOK AT WHAT MICHAEL SATA DOES AND NOT WHAT HE SAYS. TIME FOR LONG SPEACHES LONG-WENT. THIS ERROR IS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BUILDING AND TALKING LITTLE.
PF and LT have no choice but to use file pictures because Sata is dead. He died on the 20th June at 02:00 am.
Your Michael Sata is doing nothing other than receive treatment.
Indeed it was an ERROR to elect a president who treats the people with scorn and disrespect or did you mean ERA?
@peter Kwena you are a crack pot. We are not asking for long speeches which we all know he always screws up whether well or not. All we want is a president that is seen in public and is able to address the nation on same of the things that have been happening and not those FB Chella postings. You think it is normal for him to hide for close to quarter of a year? And I say “hide” because you cabbages are adamant that he is fit and healthy. I feel this Kabimba issue is a way of diverting attention from his hide and seek he is playing with the nation. Time will tell
Well said @Peter.
We are in the PF ERROR!!!!!!
Sata is incapacitated. There’s no way he can swear in anybody. This PF government is composed of rascals. They should all be put behind bars at an appropriate time. They should not mess with the constitution and State institutions. The country has indeed been hijacked by a criminal ethnic clique.
Hey! Gonclaves! Have you noticed how you boys imagine things & convince yourselves that it is gospel? 2011 HH is president, we don’t need Sata. Mkaika is ours of start mourning. We have already won Mangango, pf is shaken! etc. etc. You never learn but more lessons are coming.
PF and LT have no choice but to use file pictures because Sata is dead. He died on the 20th June at 02:00 am.
Iwe Wanzelu ulibe nzelu, stop writing the same thing a hundred times and hoping you will convince people. Times of Zambia has a current picture with Sata shaking Mumba Malila’s hand, buy a copy and stop depending on gutter news papers online.
Even a broken record would play better than your blogging Ulibe nzelu! Most likely you are the twin brother of chande Bwamba above!
@#octopus icant wait to see u nakedness, mukapiteko naku chingola tukasafyeko amenso, chali kale ukumona umuntu mwelekese. plz we are waiting
Why show an old photo? Even Kabimba is in it.
Ask LT to get actual pics of the ceremony
Its a farewell present to one Wynter Kabimba….in reality though we all know that this swearing-in ceremony was conducted in the presence of State House medical staff on the old man’s sick bed.
You still talk about Sata————–?! This man is a forgone conclusion in the Zambian politics. Its only his stubbornness that is making him to hang-on. He will be remembered as the worst President.
It least he will be remembered unlike you! Kekekekekekekeeke.
PF and LT have no choice but to use file pictures because Sata is dead. He died on the 20th June at 02:00 am.
Even on 19 of September he is not going to open parliament at all.
Absolutely spot on!!
WOW! Sometimes you can wish if you where a Dull PF cardre and tribalist to at list comprehend the massage above but I can’t believe someone who the Country anointed to be a public figure has turned Himself into a secret figure. Only someone who is very dull and mentally disturbed can apprehend this and still treat it as gospel truth and morally right for a president to be ruling in hibernations. May this be the last time you are doing this no+sense because you are just putting countries security systems a risk.
Just undress. Bwamba bobe mune.
He is alive !! I love this.
PF and LT have no choice but to use file pictures because Sata is dead. He died on the 20th June at 02:00 am.

Wanted person either died or alive we want see him in puplic.
I we bamumbwe. Who told you that LT camera boys were at the swearing in? Kabimba who used to send them pics is no longer there. Just wait for them to pilfer some from somewhere.
look closely at the picture, Kabimba is standing next to the lady in the zebra stripped dress and Greg Lungu beside him; LOL; we v been duped again.
Just swearing in,going to election campaigns and firing -that’s all to his presidency.
Folks like Sata who lack depth,vision,strategic thinking and mental fortitude just do the simple stuff.
The image is located here, and was uploaded to LT July 2014. Make your own conclusions.

My earlier post has been blocked – hahahahahaha funny.
@wanzelu,dudelove,fakeengineer,stupidpatriotabroad,cjs,blago and the rest of you satanic bloggers..they say the devil is a thief and a liar..you cretins have been spitting lies about the President some even going as far as saying HEMCS passed on in June you devils have no shame, please tell me for those of you in Zambia if that was not HEMCS on the 19hrs news??? You UPND chaps should just concern yourselves with your disentegrating tribal gathering under the guise of a political party.
PF and LT have no choice but to use file pictures because Sata is dead. He died on the 20th June at 02:00 am.
Even on 19 of September he is not going to open parliament at all.
@wanzelu I’m not as gullible as you to think that pictures on Lusakatimes are taken in real time, obviously the pictures are on file, I was making reference as I mentioned above to today’s 19hrs news which clearly showed HEMCS congratulating the newly appointed Supreme Court Judges. So once again wanzelu you are wrong, its becoming a habit for you to tell lies..thanks to lusaka times for briefing us and keeping the nation up to date, I must say I’m really impressed with lusakatimes they have greatly imrpoved with their reporting..
@2020 VISIONLESS : We need to be serious with National issues. This is no longer a child’s play. This Sata can not be allowed to take the country to the grave with him. For God’s sake Zambia is not Sata; others have come & gone! Can someone pump some sense into these think heads? This is taking people to a limit. Don’t get surprised when people will behave unZambian by celebrating instead of mourning. Plse Chikwanda & Kaseba think beyond the bellies!
I’m sure it’s HH who is dead, has anyone seen him? It’s always a file picture and a vague report of something he said
so imwe ba vision vision this is a normal way a president should be acting? Showing up once in a while, swearing in someone and then going to hide again? This is normal? And you complain when I say you have shallow reasoning. Sata bores me now. If you read the Post (2nd September) the editorial, in their rabid defence of Kabimba, are now confirming that Sata is incapacitated.
If HEMCS is fit as purported by his handlers, why hiding for 90 days? Remember when Saddam H was running away from George Bush Senior, he managed to make three pipo who looked exactly like him but all the three were no him, meaning the real one was the fourth. Some one has been made who looks like HEMCS as the real Sata is somewhere living or maybe dead.
The Sata who is in state house was just manufactured to disguise or fake certain things or acts. Time will tell.
Who released this statement?because all along George chella has been in charge of press issues but strangely not from mr chella.so what’s going on?
kekekekeke LOL, you guys be serious; Kabimba is in the picture hehehehehehehe
And standing next to who? The plot “sickens” as they say
The photo shows FILE hahahaha…continue hibernating 19 th september is coming
Silent video again of our beloved President at prime news time! Why is ZNBS doing this to us? Or am I missing something?
Interesting there was no statement from George Chellah today. And he never attended the ceremony, when he should have been master of ceremony. Even Sata’s facebook is not updated because Chellah is the one who has the pass-words. If I were chellah, I would have posted Belinda Nafwa song before being fired tomorrow.
@mulenga,
Maybe George Chellah has been injured by the new Chikwanda administration, the number of casualties will be high, just wait and see.
@mulenga……… you are nasty…..Belinda nafwa ……… lol
Zambia still in auto-pilot mode, only power balance has shifted.
So you think all the select few kept mute on what they saw when they went to their offices/homes? They become the State House sources for online media
God has CONFUSED PF Govt even Chikwanda wont contain ths ANYMORE !! soon and very soon Hell will break Loose even if Sata is alive IT WILL BE DIFFICULT for him to open Parley mark my words !!.
God Loves Zambia.
Sometimes I think that even HH is ashamed about the blogs (or thoughts) of his followers. How does one blame a third party for the lack of current pics? How do you give a reaction to an issue that has not occurred? The UpNdon is devoid of reason. They even watch any news.
Sata must be serious. ..at this time and age pipo should be debating about file pictures. Chansoni sana… chikala chili ndwii mu state house and folks like mushota, kudos and other pf minions are biz ranting ati taumwene pa picture. Pliz pf cadres spare this crap of face book, pictures, and that shit. Lets get it (sata) from slumber to come and address his pipo..
Sata kuti akupenya…tewakukolesha mwandini. Imagine hiding for 3 months at fit and biz working hard… history in the making
No one has seen God. The evidence of his existence is his works and creation. We do not see the President but we see his works in Mongu, Sesheke, Choma, Muchinga, Solwezi, Kitwe, Chawama, Kasama, Vubwi, Mushili and other places.
I’m glad that the picture for this article is captioned “FILE”. I know its summer time, but I see Wynter in this picture.
#OneZambia
Enlighten me please, what is he wearing or are you just delusional? The meaning of delusional( a persistent false belief held in the face of strong contradictory evidence, especially as a symptom of a psychiatric condition). Please go to Chainama.
You can see why on internet UPND always win an election because honestly if these guys were in Zambia they would have watched the news at 21hours where ZNBC forgot to cut the clip and Sata was talking to the sworn persons as he walked away and you could hear him
Kwena CHI wanzelu uli wabufi, you are a proper UPND cadre. You did not see the President when he was sworning in Ba Malila and my friend from CB, zoona walikwata ulupato shameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Infact I was talking to HEMCS few minutes ago. uli mubi iwe shatani, why wishing your fellow human being dead. yabaaaaaaa
LT ARE BRINGING OLD PICTURES BECOS THEY DONT HAVE THE LATEST ONES,IT IS AN OFFENCE TO TAKE THE PHOTOS OF THE NEW KING COBRA. AM TOLD J0URNALISTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ATTEND SWEARING IN CEREMONIES AT STATE HOUSE NOWADAYS. THOSE PICTURES ARE YOU SEE IN THE TIMES OF ZAMBIA ARE JUST GRAFTED BY COMPUTER,THEY ARE NOT REAL. IT IS POSSIBLE USING COMPUTER TO PICTURE BIN LADEN GREETING BARRACK OBAMA. THAT PIC ON TIMES OF ZAMBIA IS FAKE
