The Chitambo Parliamentary By-Election

Author: Henry Kyambalesa-

The forthcoming Chitambo Parliamentary by-election set for August 13, 2009 should provide an opportunity for the people in Central Province to vote for a candidate from an opposition political party to join Parliament. Voting for an MMD candidate will be a sheer waste of votes.

Zambians need to realize that the MMD will not bring about any meaningful socio-economic development in the country. Its leaders are all intoxicated by an unquenchable desire to maintain power at any cost by using chiefs, public resources and intimidation by the party’s leaders and hooligans.

This is one reason why the party has failed to address the people’s demands for a smaller and more efficient government, free formal education without Grades 7 and 9 elimination examinations, no examination fees, merit-based scholarships for vocational training and university education, low-interest educational loans, free life-saving healthcare for all Zambians, greater and sustained food security, greater employment opportunities, lower PAYE and value-added taxes, lower interest rates, safer local communities, improved infrastructure, privatization of the public mass media, lower water charges and electricity tariffs, and a genuine effort to address the scourge of corruption.

We should, however, thank them (the MMD) for spearheading our beloved country’s transition to multi-party democracy and economic liberalization, just as we should also acknowledge the role played by UNIP in Zambia’s struggle for independence. But if we are to reap the benefits of our country’s independence, democracy and economic liberalization, we need new political players; we cannot afford to depend on some of the current crop of politicians – many of whom are clueless figureheads!

We desperately need leaders who are going to have a clear social contract with the citizenry – a contract with specific projects and programs, and a timetable when such projects and programs should be expected to take off and/or completed. Otherwise we will continue to be fed on stories of Vision 2030 and the like.[quote]

There should, of course, be no doubting the importance of sound long-term planning to our country’s future, and to the well-being of future generations. But such planning should be balanced with the needs of our generation because in the long run, to paraphrase the famous economist John Maynard Keynes, we are all going to be dead! For this reason, we need politicians who are keen on devising schedules for implementing some of our short-term and medium-term projects and programs in order to strike a balance between our needs and expectations, and the needs and expectations of future generations.

As I have always maintained, heightened and sustained socio-economic development will not come to Zambia like manna from heaven; it will need to be adequately planned for and diligently pursued. Basically, this will require a passion for radical change, and leadership with both vision and compass.

Change, as experience and observation have taught us, is a fact of life; all living things must adapt to the demands of their envi­ronments and their own stages of growth. History is full of exam­ples of plants and animals which have be­come extinct because of their inability to change when it became neces­sary. This fact of life applies to countries as well; if they cannot change in order to align their goals, aspirations and develop­ment strategies to the dictates of local, national, regional, and global socio-economic condi­tions, therefore, they are not likely succeed in improving their people’s standa­rds of living. And our country is no exception!

But in spite of this obvious fact of life, we are all gene­rally and naturally resistant to change. This is perhaps one of the reasons why we have tended to lend a receptive ear to the rehearsed warning by the MMD that we should not experiment with leadership – a warning we will soon start hearing as we get closer to the 2011 general elections.

  1. Henry Kyambalesa,

    Is a lamentable failed internet based politician. He has been an internet troll with his Party Agenda for Zambia for over 7 years years now jumping from pact to pact starting with Brig.Gen.Miyanda’s Village concept to the anything that bumps his face.Today he calls copy cut material from some change management text book writers he has parroted as his Agenda for Zambia Party manifesto. He pastes here as an opinion yet the chap has never even bothered to bring his party on the ground and do a professional survey. Henry is one pathetic internet based troll that has kept lowering the caliber of lecture theater intelligentsia the country need to tap in for technocrats..

  2. How come this same article appeared on watchdog earlier than LT?

    On “This is perhaps one of the reasons why we have tended to lend a receptive ear to the rehearsed warning by the MMD that we should not experiment with leadership – a warning we will soon start hearing as we get closer to the 2011 general elections” MMD must be careful for this warning appears to be directed at cheating the public that president HH has no political experience, but people know that experienced PF leader is backing.

    Be blessed all.

  5. #3 Maestro … continued.

    Since the writer seems to be covertly supporting the MMD by confusing the public to get an informed opinion about the public’s reaction, it only equips me with insight that MMD are set to block PF leader Sata MC (Grade 2/6, unknown) from contesting the Zambian Presidency on account of a degree education qualification. Thus, the MMD’s only way to decampaign the UPND-PF PACT to prevent it from forming a new hope GRZ is to cheat the Nation that PACT leader president HH has no experience.

  6. Good analysis!!! But I doubt it if the kind of leadership you are talking about can be found in the current crop of opposition leaders either. Just to vote for change for the sake of change ‘AINT’ GONNA CUT IT, my friend!!!!

  7. Funny enough, I have read rumours that FAZ president and football great man Kalusha Bwalya (Grade 12,?) is being pushed to replace Mr Sata MC (Grade 2/6, unknown) as PF presidential candidate for the 2011 elections.

    I urge all tribalists to emulate former MP Mr Saviour Chishimba to move out of PF if they are not happy with the old man’s decision to work with the man of the moment with a serious National clout president HH.

    Yes, it is time for change in our political system and real change is needed.

    Be blessed all.

  8. Senior BOOT LICKER RB WAMUYAYAYA

    Where were you when your Murderous Mexican Drug (MMD) cartel thugs beat up innocent Times of Zambia and Post Journalists??

    How are you today? We missed you on the blog. You bring a programmed robotic perspective to the blog which helps us understand how brainwashing destroys thought processes and choices

    Anyway, welcome to the blog. Trumpet your controllers’ propaganda as you have to earn your living. Otherwise your sponsorship to the USA could be withdrawn.

    As for us, We earn our living by our own kupulukuta, intuition and hard work. Have a blessed day

  9. Keep dreaming Kyambalesa. Check your facts & indicators are that Zambia is in ICU on leadership even in some of the “popular” opposition parties.

    You say “we need new political players; we cannot afford to depend on some of the current crop of politicians – many of whom are clueless figureheads” as if they are only in MMD.

    “MMD leaders are all intoxicated by an unquenchable desire to maintain power at any cost by using chiefs, public resources and intimidation by the party’s leaders and hooligans”

    Are we forgeting that just 8years ago some of the leaders were party to the same abuse of public resources? Aren’t they to blame as some of these trends could’ve been their brain-child? Have you forgoten privatisation experts already? Please remove the clog on your…

  10. I have seen Kasumbalesa make intermittent policy and ideological position like a typical bumping ball without own weight to settle.I seen him parrot the worst of failed Chinese Communist Chairman Mao Zedong’s policies to Western version neo-liberalism policies based on his pure Utopian world classroom idealism.I think he has spent too much time in lecture theaters memorizing Henry Mayo’s change management philosophies.

  11. #7 Maestro. That will be the end for Zambia because the guy is a bit greedy. Have we forgotten how he pushed some under-performing players to be part of the national team just for them to seen by scouts at CAF in exchange for him to make money once they acquire contracts. Iyo kwena lukanya.

  12. “smaller and more efficient government, .. low-interest educational loans, free life-saving healthcare for all Zambians…, greater employment opportunities, lower PAYE and value-added taxes, lower interest rates, …improved infrastructure, …, lower water charges and electricity tariffs…”
    Nice sound bites, BUT to do this, government must raise revenue. A smaller govt is a good idea but it means unemployment for many, so it contradicts greater employment opportunities. Lower interest rates is a monetary policy issue. Since the Nobel Prize winning Economist Friedman’s monetarism, Central Banks must control money supply to control inflation. Water and electricity tariffs cannot be lowered when there is a monoploy. This sector must be privatised.

  13. Zambians, one thing should be clear to you all that MMD will not develop zambia. That’s why they should not be given another chance. You can’t judge the opposition now. Let them be in power and see how they run the country. You don’t judge the book by it’s cover. Where MMD is concerned, we know them by now. They are corrupt, they are encouraging violence in the country, bribing is the order of the day, they’ve comprised the judiciary …….. .In other words, we actually don’t have a leader.

  14. No comments. I have just typed Henry Kyambalesa in Google and indeed I can confirm he is a president of a failed Internet Party which really will go nowhere. I really can’t add more on top of what my fellow Senior Citizen has articulated. Anyway come August 14 MMD will carry the day and I hope some of these Internet Politician will shut up for ever or do the noble thing. Go to the people on the ground. As MMD we need a serious credible opposition to make us better. Not these clowns, SATAN and ICHILEMA

  15. Until one assimilates text book theories with a sense of realism, parroting to public office Henry and Elton Mayo (1880-1949)’s theories without understanding environment is not smart rhetoric. If we became literal we will see that the same mayo as founder of the Human Relations, Leadership Theory,and Complexity Management Theory movement, in his capacity as psychologist, sociologist and organization theorist says ” environment determines structure”.Does Henry understand this for given dispensations?

  16. Senior Citizen BOOT LICKER RB WAMUYAYAYA

    What’s your take on this story “LUSAKA Province MMD youth chairman Chris Chalwe has declared that the party cadres will continue to “sort out” journalists in their own way.”

  17. How can a government spend 68 million Zambian kwacha to transport one pregnant cow to Tanzania? Is this what a normal person would call a government. RB keeps of giving visitors presents. Does he think he’s on his farm? That’s why he’s running the government like his own farm.

  18. #14 MMD Chief Bootlicker, You can stick with your MMD whose leadership is so corrupt and a let down to the Zambian people. They are so greedy and crooked that their leader’s wife has been drawing GRZ salary fraudulantly for months. What a disgrace! The president would rather spend thousands of US Dollars to transport a pregnant cow to Tanzania when Pregnant Zambian women ( Human beings ) are being transported on wheelbarrows to deliver on corridors. This current leadership has already done more harm to Zambia than Kaunda and Chiluba combined.

  19. MMD is not only a practical a transactional leading party, but also a dependable transformative popular institution entrenched in the tenants of functional democracy and change for the common good.It is responsive to time and social challenges confronting the nation.It does not thrive on artificial populism but a culture of pragmatism and economic determinism that guaranties citizens real wealth and dignity other than Utopian world theories of more money in the pocket. This is why Zambians keep seeing peaceful structural leadership change only in MMD.The ruling MMD is not established on the precepts of founder leader strongman no change concept as the case is in PF a typical wamuyayaya demagoguery confusing PF zealots like this tribalist kasai masquerading as Kwabokumawa. Change is MMD. .

  20. MMD is not only a practical transactional leading party, but also a dependable transformative popular people’s change institution entrenched in the tenants of functional democracy and common good.It is the only democratic institutional with inbuilt institutional frameworks for continuous leadership change.No leader can fail landmark elections and force oneself repetitively on the top level party slot which is a trend in the opposition.MMD believes change brings dynamism and the mantle of leadership must be given to another athlete when the incumbent is legally done with his constitutional term.This is why anti constitution third terming rumpen like Sata failed to find grace in MMD.

  21. #19 Senior Citizen Bembaman BOOT LICKER RB WAMUYAYAYA

    I hope you have been removed from your former employer’s payroll. It’s common amongst your kind to remain on the payroll and continue stealing money without working for it.

    How many journalists, like yourself, are you intimidating and beating where you are?? Is Is MMD Youth Chairman Chris Chalwe your nephew? You seem to have the same Kamwala, Kulima Tower, Soweto bus station mentality of beating, harassment and intimidation.

    If you really want to know who I really am, just take this “tribalist kasai’s” picture, as blurred as it looks to you, and take it to anyone who lived in Moth or Kalongwezi in Chipata up to 2001.

  22. This said, its immaturity and authentic insanity if not just lack of bearing in political acrobatics that this Kasai masquerading as Kumawa can take the courage of calling a mother of Zambian democracy wamuyayaya.In his pursuit for more magic money in the pocket, the poor chap is ignorant that his new savior Sata is a lumpen that failed to find grace in MMD for his unconstitutional third term crusade he killed Zambians on. Patriots choose to ignore with deafening silence disillusioned trolls as Kwabokumawa ever talking with protruding ignorance even on things with public record.Anyway that is what tribalism when it involves into fanatical anarchy can do to poor souls.

  23. # 21 You Kasai,

    Don’t waste your time thinking that masquerading as a none Kasai has a covet before serious minds.When i call you Kasai whether you mutate, i know what I’m talking about.Like any democrats, our Zambian culture and responsibility is guarantee you space to rant freely without impediments irrespective of how much naked you are.FYI, wherever you get your journalism tag, you are only proving unbridled protruding ignorance through your head.Talk of Economics, Public Policy and some business applications architecture, you will be mining me.Do your groundwork or come for a one month training i can selflessly help earn high dollar value skills to radically change your real economic value independently within a max of 6 months of corporatocracy ties. You are enslaved to…

I can willfully train you into a money making machine on high demand by the business world without borders.Ask LT to breach their privacy rights by giving you just the distance I’m from the DC you keep ranting about.

  25. On “Zambians need to realize that the MMD will not bring about any meaningful socio-economic development in the country. Its leaders are all intoxicated by an unquenchable desire to maintain power at any cost by using chiefs, public resources and intimidation by the party’s leaders and hooligans.” Actually MMD plays Zambians an old method divide and rule by appeasing Chiefs and some useless church leaders to support the MMD GRZ even when they are clearly mis-governing Zambia. Soon, MMD may divide Southern Prov. _

  26. Following on Soon, MMD may divide Southern Prov. … ince. This appears to be in an effort to get votes from Livingstone and its surrounding areas from the UPND which appeals to people of that area. This is seemingly being perpetrated by some support that a character from Congo Chief Mukuni is receiving from GRZ in his effort to become Paramount Chief of the mighty Southern Province — following his application and call to divide Southern Province into 2 parts, his starting from Choma to Livingstone.

    Very sad indeed.

    Mbuya, your writing tells me what your mother tongue is. Bemba’s have no “r” in their vocabulary. That’s why your spellings also follow in that pattern. Otherwise you are just a hopeless snob. Just get on with your mindless propaganda.

    You are forgiven for misleading yourself into giving me the kasai tag which to me is CHEAP INTIMIDATION BY NAME CALLING, A WELL KNOWN KAPONYA/N’GWAN’GWAZI MENTALITY

  28. Yebo madala Maestro Hakucincha,

    Kamwamba, Don’t you think neutralizing Tonga tribalism through divide and rule is in the best National interest?

  29. Tribalism threatens to destroy UPND

    From the very beginning, the way UPND was organised created a great potential for serious regional problems and contradictions.political support that runs more or less on the basis of one’s tribe or region has a lot of inherent problems. You cannot create a strong political organisation on such a formula. No durable or long lasting unity can be constructed or carved out of such type of political alliance. This is because unity built on this type of formula has no depth, it has no roots. All that it needs is for one opportunist to descend on it and attempt to exploit it and all is in flames or tatters.

  30. 28 Nationalist ndilikabotu, ino yebo naa nwebo?

    On your “Don’t you think neutralizing Tonga tribalism through divide and rule is in the best National interest?“, I do not think so boss simply because their is no Tonga tribalism. Also, the consequencies of creating civil war among Tonga and Toka Leya people will not help the MMD GRZ and may simply spill over to the whole Nation.

    Thus MMD must stop using hooligans or thugs for the sole purpose of having grip on ruling Zambia.

    I hope you’re old enough to understand.

  32. 28/9 Nationalist, such methods you are embracing are a danger to the Zambian society and will only succeed in bring instability in Zambia at the hands of no other than the MMD leaders — if this behaviour continues.

    Currently, the open free for all to see hooliganism is being noted on POST journalists but I will watch its spilling to tribes.

    On “No durable or long lasting unity can be constructed or carved out of such type of political alliance“, what alliance are you writing about?

    The PACT is set to from GRZ.

  33. 31 Nationalist, your ““The struggle to defend and consolidate national unity demand permanent vigilance and action to neutralise and eliminate the manouvers of tribalism and tribalistic opportunists HH has long proved” Fred Mmembe” borders on mental and spiritual sickness and I will leave it here.

    As of now, I am now looking up to a new GRZ run by the UPND-PF PACT to clean the MMD GRZ mess until 2016 when we can resume with a normal better democracy.

  34. Good afternoon
    This is the first time I’m hearing about Henry Kyambalesa and I must say that I’m quite impressed with his remarkable analogy. I’m also surprised (or why should I, since it often happens on LT?) that such an open and honest article is being met with sarcasm by some bloggers. Sometimes I really wonder whether we Africans want to open our eyes and excel in life because if we really did, then we wouldn’t care where the eye-openning words of wisdom are coming from.

  35. MMD Chief Bootlicker and Senior Citezen; You seem to have never stepped anyone of your foot in class. or it could be that you the kind of people who used to remain on the road and smoking gunjer while your friends learned at school. Please confirm that you are only joking or you are just those people who are naturally stupid and dull?

  36. We know of such people who’s life style is just to argue but in the process learning and they apply what they learn on a different forum. If this is the case please let us know, otherwise we see your comments as statements that can only come from criminals.

  37. CIAO,

    That ‘s exactly what i see too about the man of God beloved brother Heheheheheheheheheh Maestro Hakucincha.To much arguing over straight forward issues.Salvation unto him.Asante sana mungu wakubarike.Powa bwana!

  38. I am impressed. Not by what is being reported on the by-elections or your comments. On the previous two discussions regarding Thandiwe (Your first lady) drawing a salary from her former employers-the Ministry of education even after effectively resigning, not leave of absence or Sabbatical Leave, one of you guys disappeared. Ba Senior Citizen, what happened? Do you pick and choose battles to fight? Were you so embarrassed to an extent lost words to defend that crime? You see, when you attack and attack, you expose yourself to real life. RB and his govt is not fighting any corruption. They will arrest a police officer for not letting an arrested pregnant woman go on bail, but fail to arrest a police officer for shooting an innocent student. Now it is her, will they arrest her?

  39. 38 greetings. I like your “We know of such people who’s life style is just to argue but in the process learning and they apply what they learn on a different forum. If this is the case please let us know, otherwise we see your comments as statements that can only come from criminals.“. Very very hilarious indeed.

  40. Ba Ben Kangwa AKA Senior Citizen, there is no Kasai on this blog. The person you are attacking is a well educated person like me than you will ever dream. You left me at Hone but in your case that was the end of your education journey. Sorry we move on and sort more for more learning and growth. Your name calling and attacks really gets into my nerves more so because it comes from an elderly person like you. We used to call you Ba Ben Kangwa at hone not because of your record spinning gig at ZNBC, but you were an old man coming as mature person in a class with people like Mangani Phiri, Lameck Ntani, and the rest. Please, in the goodness of your age and your semi profession as you are, stop attacking people three times less your age. You are being a bad example.

  41. The people of Chitambo cannot be moved by make Zambia ungovernable rhetoric and 90 day economic miracle formula. The people cannot be moved by going to state house to enjoy agenda’s. What the people need is real development and empowerment. What the people need is a govt that will deliver to their expectations. What the people need is the MMD. Posting a story to internet armchair critics is not going to change the outcome because these armchair critics cannot vote. Only the people of Chitambo can vote.

    The people of Chitambo know the MMD can and will deliver. The people of Chitambo will vote for the MMD.

  42. Senior citizen, do you at all read what you write? Can you make any sense out of your postings or are you so illiterate that you do not know why people write? The basic idea is to communicate but if what you write is incoregibile then what is the point? You are surely diseeminating nonsense in all your postings. Sorry about that but please proof read your postings if that will help. Our old folks used to describe people like you as “I didn’t” and there is only one mode for the ‘I didn’ts” – Silence, so senior citizen, just shut it!!

  43. #44, I doubt it very much. The real Ben Kangwa cannot write like senior citizen. This so -called senior citizen must be some very illiterate MMD stooge who is an imposter in a lot of ways. Read his incoregible postings that are totally devoid of any logic. It would be interesting to know who this MMD stooge called senior citizen is.

You are free to believe that i have no education but vested my time in tertiary institutions of higher learning drawing cartoons eating tobamutwe.Hope that lifts your ego and profile against me.The real world will teach you that no one in my bloodline has failed to actualize their potential out of the many opportunities God has been faith to line for us.Do your homework and comeback barking another one.I’m yet to see your logical thought process along these threads.Hope not your Satanacracy of usual insults and…

  46. Senior Citizen,

    ” This said, its immaturity and authentic insanity if not just lack of bearing in political acrobatics ” etc.

    Senior Citizen, you write like a party cadre, just denouncing someone. Do you have any concrete criticism of specific things that Professor Kyambalesa has said?

  47. 47 Senior Citizen greetings. Please, badaala (old man) calm down. I reckon you are a fan of serious English Language, but please degrade it to he level of many who have not had the privilege like you have had.

    There is no need to insult as all blog contributor have a interest of Zambia or are Zambian Citizens.

    Thus help us help Mr President RB Banda to start letting someone speak on his behalf and limit his talk to reading from prepared speeches. As of now, even Kaponyas are complaining about his way of leading.

  48. To me, it appears like there is someone in the MMD who is close to Mr President but does not like him and ultimately causes Mr President to fumble in his interviews. This failure to speak truth is bringing us all Zambians into a question and the best you and I can do for Mr President is to help him come to the right path.

    This is because he holds keys to the most powerful position that our Nation offers and hence his words carry a lot to Zambians and the outsiders who are keen onlookers at how we carry ourselves.

    Be blessed.

  49. MrK,

    From A-Z, what Kyambalesa has pasted is pure Utopian world view idealism parroted from Mayo theories.Until one assimilates text book theories with a sense of realism, parroting Henry and Elton Mayo (1880-1949)’s theories without understanding given environment is not smart rhetoric. If we became literal we will see that the same mayo as founder of the Human Relations, Leadership Theory,and Complexity Management Theory movement, in his capacity as psychologist, sociologist and organization theorist says ” environment determines structure”.Does Henry understand this for given dispensations?

  50. MrK,

    I respect your cadre mentality but ask you to look at things beyond that prism. See why i have rebuked Henry.He is too old to be peddling Utopian world idealism.He must show understanding of Zambia, her challenges and commitments to overcome a myriad problems created over the 45 years.

  51. #52 Senior Citizen

    Kwena bamudala mwasebana. If you have anything between your ears, you will realise your folly and own up. Just ask yourself one question; can all the bloggers who have questioned your sanity be in the wrong? If your answer is yes, then you need a psychiatrists attention. Because we can not all be wrong to notice your insanity.

  52. Kwathukummawa,
    You guys are serious jokers no wonder even in real politics Zambia democracy sucks. I’m not stunned that we are not heading anywhere. How can a blogger be driven by a spirit of appeasement? That is failure there.We are heading for a life time blogging experience without achievement. One because there is no hope is such childish thinking. No wonder MMD keeps toasting us like brainless kids.Why don’t you take on MMD activists intelligently in rebattle.Its clear that MMD Bootlicker and Senior Citizen are experienced Political machinists if not Political science scholars with years it it. FreeEconomist is their trainee emerging out of college.Do really think experienced activists would be botheredd by what is said about their stand by those they know have been on their…

  53. Not surprising that SC has shreded Kyasumbalesa with consistency and theoretical arguments watering down any room for damage control.I presume this guy has years of political activism with high value commitment. I would really love to meet SC live. If only as opposition we had such savvy political firebrands in the camp on and offline, MMD would have been long gone. But how come we don’t find such prepared activists in the opposition. There was one in the early 2000s called Bwana for UNIP but was squeezed till out.Why don’t we produce similar firebrands?

  54. Watch satanic deeds (Post newspapers-Sunday September 24, 2006)

    People who promise things they never give, or will never be able to give, are like clouds and wind that bring no rain.

    The behaviour of Michael Sata is everything else but wise. It is the kind of behaviour that people with no goodwill and no serious intention engage in. It is very clear that Sata has no shame. He will go to any length to gain power. If it means becoming stupid to become head of state, he will do it. If he thinks being a fool will earn him power, he becomes a fool. This man has no boundaries.

  55. Are you done guys? Okey read this Mr Mestrol madala

    Watch s-a-t-a-n-i-c deeds (Post newspapers-Sunday September 24, 2006

  56. People who promise things they never give, or will never be able to give, are like clouds and wind that bring no rain.

  57. The behaviour of Michael Sata is everything else but wise. It is the kind of behaviour that people with no goodwill and no serious intention engage in. It is very clear that Sata has no shame. He will go to any length to gain power. If it means becoming s–t—u–pi–d to become head of state, he will do it. If he thinks being a fool will earn him power, he becomes a fool. This man has no boundaries.

  58. His history is there for all to see. Under Dr Kenneth Kaunda, he was chief vigilante and was one of those who contributed to making Dr Kaunda unpopular at the time.

    Many of our people who worked in the markets will remember exactly what Sata did. When Frederick Chiluba came to power, Sata yet again took a centre stage and this time became a chief kaponya. Anybody who needed harassment was dealt with by the machinery he controlled as national secretary for MMD.

  59. Surely, our memories are not that short. Zambians know this man. No one should be fooled. The Sata who today wants to defend Chiluba was one of those who were key in misleading him. When the whole nation was saying no to dictatorial tendencies and Chiluba’s shameful attempt to impose himself as a life president, Sata – behaving like an evil snake – continued to mislead Chiluba.

  60. He worked tirelessly to purge the MMD of anybody who opposed that well-known evil scheme – the third term. We are not surprised that under the sponsorship of the plunderers, Sata is at it again – attempting to gain power which he will use to defend the plunderers.

    His apparent U-turn on this subject cannot fool us. It goes to prove everything we have been saying. This man has no principles. It is the same mouth that only yesterday was promising to defend Chiluba that is today saying he will not defend him and his fellow plunderers. Why?

  61. 16 Kuku greetings, on your “You guys are serious jokers no wonder even in real politics Zambia democracy sucks. I’m not stunned that we are not heading anywhere. How can a blogger be driven by a spirit of appeasement? That is failure there.We are heading for a life time blogging experience without achievement. One because there is no hope is such childish thinking.

    When I was at UCT, I heard of a friend who was using two usernames in the bwanji . com system but with a goo to attack himself to deceive others.

    Be blessed.

  62. With this When I was at UCT, I heard of a friend who was using two usernames in the bwanji . com system but with a goo to attack himself to deceive others. background, could it be that Nationalist, Patriot, Mr capitalist, Senior Citizen, Ba Dr Maureen, Nkosi, etc. are hordes of one characters coming out with different skins to deceive unsuspecting blog contributors? For them to keep attracting contributors, the attack me.

    The Holy Bible is great at it records that I will only overcome them by Jesus Christ’s blood. Hence, their confounding each other.

    Sadly, the person who sends them is equally a terrible analyst and hence their bad public relations.

    I just hope they will change strategy by 2011 elections or they ‘ll lose.

    Be blest.

  63. Nationalist, I agree with your views on Sata. None of us wants Sata as an alternative to the failed leadership of Nyamasoya. What we want is a team of well meaning citizens, equipped with the tools to analyse and implement solutions that will deliver Zambia out of poverty. We do not want rhetoric from the likes of Mulongoti and his Tetamashi or whetevr the long name is but want people who can explain their vision like the late Andy Mazoka and can define what the problem is and what possible solutions exist. Please let us work objectively and not behave like people like Senior Citizen – a VIP (Very Ignorant Person)

  64. The Intelligentia,

    What do mean by “whetevr the long”? My expectations is too high for you the intelligentsia with ego the size of Texas.

  65. Then who do want to lead Zambians and what are doing to realise that leadership? Thank you the Intelligentsia.

    Yours sincerely simpleton Nationalist

  66. Us the Very Ignorant Persons who are nationalists like my brother expect you to be the error free maniac.Who do you have for leadership and what have you done to realize your dream? Blogging around the clock insulting MMD and RB? What have you put in Chitambo bye election? Are also like Kyasumbalesa and his Agenda for Change internet based trolling politician?

  67. I’m very fine and no closer to the psychatric condition you are vainly interceding that may be in. Today i have time and pleasure of squeezing indoctrinated PF Kaponyas here like you, Kalo2000, the Kasai masquerading as kumawa.It beats me that a normal person can be burning in vanity for Sata a publicly declared thug with no probability in ballot out comes for Zambian leadership.Whatever you wish me will not come to pass but reversed for manifestation in any product out of your loins.

  68. Tabloids in Zambia are a den of gutter journalists deserving a self regulatory media body to foster code of conduct and ethics.You cannot have a profession turned a free for all to misfits.

    Goodnight and have a redeemed week y’all.Its been nice to bash you

  69. We don’t know who is a misfit. The journalist/OP record spinner at ZNBC now at the embassy blogging everyday to silence the free and intelligent bloggers. I see you as a failed journalist who never wrote any news byline but performed badly even below Mangani Phiri who spent every evening smoking grass playing raggae. So, who is the misfit? The people reporting the true at the Post effecting change or the one spending throwing insults and supporting his employer even when his wife is a scam artist stealing from the poor Ministry of Education. By the way I met your wife when you were at Hone, she was almost sixty then, how old is she now? almost eighty not so?

  70. Senior Citizen (aka Ben Kangwa), I know a bit about Mr. Kyambalesa; he was one of my favorite lecturers at CBU during the late 1980s. I cannot believe that you can attack his “person” so viciously without devoting a single line to question his thinking about the MMD and the future of your country. And the concept of change has been articulated by millions of authors on Management. Henry Mayo and Elton Mayo never wrote on this subject. Give me one publication and a page number by any of the two authors you have mentioned on the subject of change.

  71. # 45 Sata, I have known this man for some time now. Edem Djokotoe knows his writing and if you wanted to know more about his incorrigible writing, ask 1987 journalist students. One of them right now blogs from South Africa. Same class with Ben. Tall guy, worked for Times of Zambia and I m yet to recall his name. If I am not mistaken, his name is Sakala. He also works at the Embassy in South Africa. One I recall his name, I will expose him. Their duties as press attaches is nothing but kamuchekas on Zambians living abroad.

  72. LT, Could you please limit the number of articles a person can contribute to a thread as there are some bloggers who have hijacked the threads. For instance, Senior Citizen has hijacked this thread with his continous comments which is not the essence of blogging. The man is just talking to himself.

  73. Senior Citizen, It is quite annoying to have bloggers like Senior Citizen who see no sense in anything but keep ranting nonsense. Which planet are you from baddy? And what food do these MMD thugs feed you? You surely don’t consume the food grown by our hardworking people, do you? If you did, just a few grains of well grown beans would have improved your reasoning capacity beyond what you are exhibiting in your postings. Anyway, please sit back and reflect as you are making a mockery of yourself in every posting thereby losing the little respect people had for you. May be we should call you Senior Nonsense.

  74. #79, Muliz, Ben Kangwa is now the Press Attache at the Zambian Embassy in Washington. Maybe there’s another Ben Kangwa in UK.

  75. # 8 You are so crude in your writing you have hate for Sata as a politician and human being you are fool of tribalism and my worry is that one day iy will burt. Hold your fire young man.

  76. # 78 ha ha ha ha i avoid reading postings by Senior bootlicker citizen and Maestro tribalist they make my chair spin like i have taken spinorf spin.

  77. kalos 76 Chirwa not Sakala. The sakala you are talking about is with the SABC. There are a couple of the Zambian Journalist who i know at the SABC one woman was with the Times of Zambia now at SABC if she hasnt changed names her sir name was Nyirenda
