Michael Sata’s passport seized

Share

The Zambian government has temporarily withdrawn the passport of opposition leader Michael Sata, an arch critic of Lusaka’s key ally Beijing who has been lobbying against the Chinese economic presence in Africa, a minister said Saturday.Home Affairs Minister Ronnie Shikapwashya told reporters that Sata’s passport had been withdrawn with immediate effect to allow a probe.

“We asked him to temporarily surrender his passport because it was issued without following procedures,” Shikapwashya said.

He said the opposition leader, a vocal government critic, had been interrogated and cautioned by police over the matter and could be arrested if sufficient evidence was gathered against him.

Two weeks ago, Sata lost his passport while in London en route to the United States but quickly returned to Zambia and got a new passport without following the procedures, the minister said.

Shikapwashya said Sata failed to provide necessary documents to prove his claim that he lost his passport and needed a replacement.

The controversial opposition leader has been making international trips to campaign against China’s growing influence in Africa and is accused of receiving money from Taiwan for his mission.

Sata had threatened to expel Chinese traders from Zambia if elected president in last year’s elections.

Bilateral trade between Zambia and China, the third-largest foreign investor in the country, grew by 11.8 percent last year to 316 million dollars, according to the Zambia-China Business Forum.

There are some 180 Chinese firms doing business in the southern African nation.

  1. Ronnie Shikapwashya how many Zambians get their passports by following “the correct procedures”.Those same procedures are so archaic that they just breed corruption. Its like the government lives in La La land and you have no clue what happens on the ground.

  2. Shikapwashya, you must first arrest those who issued the passport for not taking the normal procedure you are claiming. Iwe Shikapwashya, in terms of emergency a passport can be issued within hrs, plz don’t expose your ignorance on this matter. Fine, let the police do the investigation without any interference from MMD dogs. By the way, Shikapwashya just concentrate your energy on AVRs you are taking, walaba shani?

  3. Dr chuchu and Shikapwasha remember,you will face the same in future.They are looking for any case to discredit Hon Sata. Nchanga by election has been the hardest pill to swallow and so they will do anything. Hon Sata we are behind you whether in happiness or problems. we all know the Movement for Madarax Dealers are after you as well as the post wich is a propaganda media machinery they are using.Mmembe is afraid of his sexual appetite towards amashinshi to be known.Shikapwasha take your meds.

  4. Unbelievable!! The MMD gvt, has absolutely lost it, just like the Post. This is a very simple issue which the passport office could have sorted out without the involvement of Central Gvt. Shikapwasha takwata nensoni calling a press briefing just to anounce that they have seized Sata’s passport. Way to go boys, you are campagning for PF indirectly by talking about Sata everyday. Its funny how one man can the whole gvt so unconfortable that they are acting crazy!

  5. When Chuchu and his govt for Movement of Madarax Dealers whenever they hear Hon Sata’s name they fear and panic.The fear is amounting to panic and threatening the propaganda media machinery running of the govt full of sick pipo due to brain deficiency sydrome.
    Trying to shut up or silence Hon Sata is like starting war without contigent plans.If this govt has any common sense they must leave Hon Sata and do the wonderful work is doing to multiparty 2 work.Shame Post for your witchhunt/biasness

  6. looks like the government has nothing more to talk about other than Sata. seems they are under pressure by sata’s strategies. have they forgotten that sata is “the king cobra”? i think nothing will stop him, no even death. pliz leaders try to concentate on serious and developmental issues. we have enough problems: hiv/aids, poverty, ileteracy,…………. are these not enough? try to be real and fulfil the promises u promised the pipo of zambia. wats happenin 2 independence stadium? do somethin

  7. Several non-Zambians with Zambian passports followed the right procedure! You right Mr. minister! Sata did not follow the right procedure!

  8. SHIKAPWASHA
    We the non aligned would like to see that you return the public funds you syphoned while you were ZAF commander.Make sure LPM returns the land he grabbed from UNZA and for MABENGE just carry out what the SUPREME COURT ordered about the CONSTITUENT DEVELOPMENT FUNDS he misappropriated.Please.don`t forget to return the funds your MMD party stole from the nation when they bought the 150 vehicles.
    Failure to do this would make us conclude that you`re just a SPINELESS MORON and a losser

  9. Zambians have become so seriously welded to lies and stealing to such an extent that even when one deliberately lose their passport to avoid trouble entering the US with a “Prohibited immigrant” stump in their passport, Zambians especially on this site think “ebwaume”. Some would even go to the extent of smearing M’Membe with that gay filth just because they feel embittered by his hard stance their own kind, stinking thieves and unrepetent tribal bigots.

  10. If young ones like us could lose or misplace our passports on big trips what about Amabiggies like Ba Sata? Please leave the big man alone.

  11. #11. who told you, if you have a PI stamp in your passport other than uncle sam’s, you can’t enter the US? Wake up MF.

  12. Chandachinangwa,
    Iwe kaboke iwe, basopo, uzisunge ka! SataNyokola can tell all the lies he can peddle in and cheat all the people like you gullible enough to stomach his neuseatings excrement under the illusion that it’s “good milile” but to me and like minded people, he still remains the same skunk that would never rule this country. Going by the ridiculous percentage he curved out for himself in the last polls, you should know his appeal is tribal, only Bembas voted for him, nobody else.

  13. In the 2006 poll, Bembas voted heavily along Satani ethnic lines. Today, the Northern, Luapula and Copperbelt/Lusaka Bembas constitute approximately 29% of the total national population and its by no coincidence that Michael Sata curved out 26.9% vote during the 2006 polls and nearly exclusively in the above mentioned areas only. His shortfall came from strong but truant Luapulans like BY and Kalumba plus the North’s then allegiance to Levy for appointing one of their own to VP.

  14. Chapi,
    First congratulation for holding on to your party seat in Nchanga. I presume you are full of it now.Within a span following the results i have authenticated beyond doubt that politics is not your beef. If what i had been doubting until confirmed this time around is what you are bringing in the real world political arena, then you are headed for a harsh posterity.Your euphoria and loss of self control has been stunning to say the least.

  15. ….You have confirmed that you lack an analytical mind capable of drawing up a realistic projection of possible outcomes in present and future national level elections.Stunningly you are already seeing Sata in Plot one with the Nchanga results. Your party PF was defending that seat after a loss in Luposhi.MMD was and is dealigning PF systematically on many fronts than you seem to understand. Nchanga is a constituency of around 22K voters. Look at the apathy that resulted in victory.

  16. I will respect your challenges in statistics or Research Design and Methods where such skills are enhanced. But find a mathematician or social scientists to multivariate the Nchanga results for you. You need a smart translation of political events than buying kids dreams. I expected you to be a jackal of all trades if you have to be a dynamic or prolific result oriented pundit worth the confidence.

  17. Admittedly, the ruling MMD made a lot of mistakes on that seat from start to the finish line. Everything therein stunned a lot of us Patriots vested in winning strategies. There are myriad issues to appreciate even a democracy. Operational wise the responsible campaign party exhibited stunning oversight which will never happen again. Among them is that they overlooked the issue of candidate in the face of unparallel applicants for the seat. Ruling parties have many mansions to accommodate in app

  18. First things first, the Malawian govt neva endorsed Sata’s passport, he was booted out from Malawi without issuing any deportation order and the case is still active in the High Court of Malawi. About procedures, i really dont think there are any procedures to be followed here, if Alistair Harrison (UK HIgh Commissioner to Zed) could stay up Wednesday aftanun when the High Commission is closed jst to issue anotha Visa to Mr. Sata, then wat procedures are u tokin about.

  19. Fred and his Post newspapers nid to rethink their strategy. He can actually do beta repeating his ZIALE results which we failed to clear 5 sujects out of 8, by the way, this fool used to publish his friends ZIALE results in his trash newspaper, why his he not publsihing his disgraceful ZIALE results.

  20. Ruling parties have many mansions to accommodate in appreciation those who have acted in the best party and national interest. In politics you don’t match a candidate for a seat like in charity business where we match dollar for a dollar. MMD had many perfect candidates to select from but a last minute unconvincing push was tolerated in the name of internal democracy.

  21. I hope you know that MMD took the Lupoposhi seat from PF while PF has had none from MMD in a comfortable lead. Besides this, PF lost the Ndola seat for corruption. That too is coming up for grabs soon. Three more bye-elections to the loss of PF are coming up come what may. One will be retained but two MMD without doubt will lock in safely. The blunders aside, MMD suffered no political loss in Nchanga but an indispensable opportunity to heed seasoned winning strategists’ advisory now and beyond.

  22. #10, remember that when the MMD stole state funds for their campains, Sata was part and parcel of the MMD. How do you forget the 2 billion used at the MMD convention at which Sata expelled all those who opposed Chiluba’s thirs term bid? Come on stop the name calling, Sata is egually not clean, that is why IN MY VIEW he is not fit to be presidenct because he will steal just like the MMD. He left the MMD just because Chiluba denied him access to the state treasury. That is why he is so bitter!

  23. If you want to prove me wrong, besides the three or four seats lined up ask PF to test the waters by firing one pro-Democracy MP trumpeting for intra-party democracy through a convention denied for 8 years now. That is the surest way of getting fired from Sata’s autocratic Presidency. You know he is too allergic to internal democracy through elections. That said, MMD will be operationized and win 2011 with a running margin beyond belief. Then you bad losers’ with your accusing fingers you will b

  24. #10, remember that when the MMD stole state funds for their campaigns, Sata was part and parcel of the MMD. How do you forget the 2 billion used at the MMD convention at which Sata expelled all those who opposed Chiluba’s third term bid? Come on! Stop the name calling, Sata is egually not clean, that is why IN MY VIEW he is not fit to be president because he will steal just like the MMD. He left the MMD just because Chiluba denied him access to the state treasury. That is why he is so bitter!

  25. Patriot (24),

    Sata will never ever rule this country. He represents the evil side of Zambia which many of us patriots have sealed our hearts never to tolerate. It’s nice he can yap 24/7 to consolidate our democracy and free speech rights but he will never rule our Country. Already he lies, rants and moves with a rope around his neck. Time will vindicate our patriotism. You remember the wise words of Dr.Kenneth Kaunda in 2006. “Ye shall not destroy this country by giving it to Sata”.

  26. This is outrightly foolishness.We cant spend 3 weeks discussing deranged individuals here,its Sata,Levy & FTJ.
    Zambians thats why ……………

  27. You will realize that those who anchor around Sata wasting their time at zero value lack self confidence, hope of ever being national leadership actors hence hopeless sycophancy. They are in a state of self deprivation, failure, alienation for lack of progressive ideas and largely are tribal bigots. See through their dedication to insults and level of delinquency on rational arguments. You will attest the challenge of this “5 column” of disillusioned kids long after Sata using them is gone.

  28. My personal words to President Mwanawasa and his administration is and has been that please “let this administration now prove it has the courage beyond the past to implement some Zambian centric political as well as economic reforms to silence the calls for the country’s destruction by those too desperate to ruin our Country”. We the patriots who know this country inside out, lined up our lives from the days of our youth implore your focus. Out of our love and patriotism we have kept it safe a

  29. We the patriots who know this country inside out, lined up our lives from the days of our youth implore your focus. Out of our love and patriotism we have kept it safe and united. Those of you in-charge should do the advised after some active serious professional critique internally. We vow never to see it turn into a den of prowling lions of fortune with unfamiliar tribal agendas.

  30. Bushe imwe #3 afunya kwisa issue yakumbuyo? What is the connection between Mmembe’s sexual apetite and Sata’s withdrawn? I dont get it at all. If you have data plse let it out just here.

  31. Ras Zongo #32, just know that what #3 has said reflects the type of person he is. He cannot discuss issues objectively without being vulgar and insulting. It would be nice if this blog was kept clean and intellectually enriching. Am glad you noticed the vanity of some of the bloggers on this blog.

  32. Changwe,
    Ladies and gentlemen, when did it become High Commissioner Alistair Harrison’s role to come as low as issuing visas? There is a Visa Attache at that office and Harrison was not even in the office on the material day. Besides, Sata needed a visa for the US when he came back from London because he was now travelling to New York via J/Burg not London. On Sata’s status when he was booted out of Malawi,please see the article below, they stumped “PI” in his passport before booting him out.

  33. Fact and Patriot it is difficult for you to accept the reality that Sata is the only oppo political leader who makes the govt panic and shudder.it is true without him what a boring multipartism democracy will be.The govt for movement of madarax dealers are working around the clock, using the media propaganda machinery the likes of the post that is baseless and bias in reporting.All the state runned media as well as the post are toothless and guided by assasination of reporting to amuse the govt.

  34. contd: well informed and educated zeds they know very well that if Sata had anything to do with K2 billion , this time he would have been arrested.H e never signed for that. LPM, shikapwasha

  35. Nakapwasha ni typical henchman wa kwa Chuchu. Just after the Nchanga Elections Chuchu ali umfwa akafukushi and then he ordered the passport seizure in his sick state.
    Shikapwasha should better come and pick me up and other thousands of zambians as well coz we all obtained passports in an improper manner.

  36. Its amazing how HON SATA brings Movement for Mad Dogs MMD and their government to a stand still, you will try but you will fail to bring him down Hon SATA ninshimbi. Back to chuchu when you grabbed land from UNZA did you follow the procedure? maybe even teka farms have no title deeds we will investigate!!!!!!!Shikapwasha you should thank Chiluba for just firing you, you did a lot of wrongs at ZAF and you are supposed to join Funjika and Musengule behind the bars. Time is coming for you very soon

  37. Anonymous,
    If you’re a believer in the concept of “No smoke without fire”, would you also agree that it goes the same with Chiluba being a stinking thief? Worse more for him, he was legally convicted, after a fair trial, of stealing from you and I by the London Court. However, no court in this land has ever convicted M’Membe of having carnal knowledge of any man (not even your hairy anonymous smelly prat). For all Fred cares, you will forever remain a wolf hauling in Nabwalya bush.

  38. I know fred mmembe very well he likes yakumbuyo #4 is very right, some of us knew this long time ago.fred promised chuchu that he will discredit Hon SATA so that Chimumbwe the criminal can win the elections but things have turned sour thats why they are now bringing petty issues like passport. We zedians know all this schems, don’t deviate the issue of copper theft to passport pliz. HON SATA don’t despair us the majority are solitary behind you.Chuchu and Shikapwasha are sick. Viva HON SATA

  39. True, whenever Zambians are outsmarted and they have nothing to say, they start talking about sexual issue like “M’membe is gay”, “Nawakwi is a whore”, “HH is tribal”, etc. This is a culture Chiluba entrenched in this society and all his lieutenant’s left aloof by FTJ’s ejection from Plot 1 and now crowding “the Satanic Bwato” are bursting their lungs singing to their opponents, everyday. Sometimes you would think maybeE M’Membe’s mistake was to nail Anonymous’mother, in here shit hole!

  40. #42 Dixie you don’t know Mmembe ask us who are in the know pliz for more info about that gay and you will be shocked to learn the truth

  41. #42 Dixie dont be ifontini. May be u steal copper too like Chimumbwa…

    By the way, chimumbwa will pay Ndola Central Police a visit to day as he will confront his remanded Chinese copper/Zamtel cables thieves….your so called business partners.

  42. The action by the MMD is so obvious and so underhand.LPM needs to intervene, this is a president of our main political party we are talking about.Sata is above Shikapwasha.

  43. Boss ba Mbulawa # 45 you ve got it on spot. Sata is above Shikapwasha.Sata ni league ya kwa LPM not that boy Shikapwasha where is the respect? Fact # 16 – 19 what are you trying to say? use simple and plain ENGLISH to express yourself not that jargon you are using . It is all rubbish and empty. Get to the point

  44. #36 Pafwenamwine, Sata may be good at keeping this corrupt government on its toes and I congratulate him for that. But the fact remains that that is where he belongs, in the opposition and not directing the affairs of this land. There are better people even within PF who can run PF and later on Zambia better that Sata. Unless you tell me that PF is Sata and Sata is PF…like the way it was in the UNIP/Kaunda case.

  45. #48 You couldnt be more right!! I totally agree with you!! Piece of advice to the moderators – name Lusaka Times to PF Lusaka Times

  46. Cobra is an irritating itch that we should not expect to just go away.It has to be dealt with and unfortunately that means making his existence in the political arena hell.This is what politics is all about..an arena where the rule is…there are no rules !! LPM is gentle compared to Musharraf,Putin,Mugabe and even Mbeki.What MMD is doing is nothing new in politics as any “clued up” person will note.

  47. Hey guys,would u please give us a break.we’re fed up of reading bullshits!Talk about progressive issues,plus let the law visit sata including workers at passport office for making a mistake claimed by shikapwasha.Plus,u-MMD believe in clean politics.They say”u win some and lose others”.U’re making Sata a hero by always making noise about him.Just deliver positively&if u’re luck,pipo’ll appreciate and start voting for u again.The issue of M’membe being a gay is pure damn hell&non of our business!

  48. It is a suprise for me to hear young educated Zedians like you still in full support of these political prostitutes including Sata, the MMD, and other oppasition party leaders who have been destroying our country for the past 40 years or more. Its time we choose new and fresh guys with developmental minds. Stop supporting or recycling outdated political prostitutes. I’m suprise why Sata is so againest chiness, I think it will bee better if he focuses on all foreign investors than just one china

  49. I would like to agree with PAFWENA MWINE PAUJENI, if you care you would remember GBM threatened to spill the beans about homosexiality at the Post. No one, not even the stubborn Mmembe rose up to defend themselves. Am sure LPM got interested in that juice story and consiquently struck a deal with Mmembe, to tone down a bit and to help him dicredit Sata as much as posible, especially during Nchanga by-elections or else face the law. FWENIZO mwaice lundapo

  50. Levy Patrick Muzorewa [Mwanawasa] is a plunderer just like Chiluba. He grab UNZA land, now owns five farms [Some registered in his sibblings]and now runs MMD funds from his person account. What nonsense is this

  51. if being gay guarantees a multi billion kwacha business only the jealous paupers out there will have cause to complain!!A persons bedroom preferences are no business of anybody but the person himself…when we had gay cabinet ministers it was never an issue nga chashupa shani nomba ??

  52. Sata look at how the Indians are mistreating the Zedians. If you are gettin money from Taiwan that is your problem, but since you want to be the prezdo, you have to level the ground. we see sense in some of your speeches, do it in the interest of Zedians and not your own. If they came to invest let them do so, but under the guidelines of the responsible ministries. We are tired of the some politicians.

  53. Let’s turn a blind eye on these Satas,LPM,FTJ,etc and chat about our soccer.Would anyone of u down there mail us who won the BP TOP- 8 final between Warriors and Nakambala,plus 3rd&4th place game involving Zanaco and K.Blades.yr kindness will be appreciated.Follow our politians with open eyes.Believe me,Sata can’t rule our lovely country.Let other educated PF members take over leadership from him.But being power hungry,he won’t allow it.CONGRATS ZESCO FOR WINNING THE SUPER LEAGUE!!!!!!!!!!

  54. ORIGINAL PUNDIT, sosa icalo cilekumfwa, thats news for me. Who are those former cabinet ministers you are talking about? As usaual you have deliberately forgotten that, gayism is by law not allowed to be enjoyed not even in the confort of your bedroom. My friend if l find in the act ….. you are in double trouble. Not in our beautiful christian nation.

  55. #56 you are an imbacile.You think Jehovah God will approve such infidels like yourself.Sodom and gomora was distroyed (incinarated) because of that stinky conduct.Nowonder Zambia is failing to achieve its good goals because most of the things read are written by homosexuals.

  56. #60 All you see is contradictions. All what i say is that we need flesh politicians if you are being paid by these postitute politicians thats your problem. If they can buy a tin of chibuka iwe ati nyapapene. grow up man. We dont need leaders who are xenophobic to rule our country. come on guys!!

  57. #55 Original pundit from the look of your comments its like you are also gay, let Mmembe defend himself, why are you defending him.Okey #55 i challenge you to go and consult GBM, find out the truth since you can’t believe us on the blog. akonda yakumbuyo nikuuza mwaiche

  58. Zedians what is wrong with you? Has anyone wondered why the Chinese want to run our show.Ba KM come back from Russia you seem to be losing your mind in Russia. FYI PF will run the next Govt

  59. Can the people who are talking ill about MC just let us know who the want as President? I am always surprised when people say X or Y is only fit to be opposition leader what type of crap is this? Why shouldnt one aspire to be President?

  60. #66 you are truelly zambian, i also wonder what this guy is doing in russia of all places kwena.KM Hon Sata is next prezdo whether you like it or not PF tuleteka

  61. #63 Iwe ci KANGWANSENUKA, wake up, this isnt about xenophobia. God has stopped making countries, we’ve got just one country to call a home and should be allowed to enjoy natural resourses with minimum disturbances. I will tell you what, am in the diaspora and its expected of me to follow the laws of the hosting nation to the letter. e.g if i were to be caught with stolen goods like chinese’ copper’ thieves or am found harrassing the britons, trust me i would on the next flight back to Zed.

  62. #58KM-RUSSIA…We are not the ones that told u to migrate and clog up your brain with Russian ice(bergs) so that you can miss out on Zambian soccer and surely we wont help u coz this aint no soccer blog

    A thread should always go with the topic on it and this remains a sata’s passport topic. Confirm heading pa mulu. Taubelenga???

    Come back ku Kalingalinga ukwakaba na Chibuku all over if Russia is too cold 4 u.

    Naiwe #56 Original Pundit, twala bu Satana Ukutali.

  63. #40 Oh, so you are a beneficial of Mashinsha guy!!! Shame on you, to get waked up from Mashinshing with ka little guy ka media and writing shit!!

  64. # 73 uleumfwa bwino mudala ai?iyo, naine ndemonekela pa January.Go and tell the mad dogs to stop fighting for toilets.Prof. SATA talked about these toilets during 2006 campigns so one wonders why the dogs are fighting for them.He told them straight.Are these not ambarrased?

  65. #69, there is absolutely nothing wrong for one to aspire for the presidency or any post for that matter. But we should put these people through the mill and ensure that only credible people are supported. Even a frog can aspire to be president (they used to in the second republi) but its for us to either accept to be ruled by a frog or reject it. As for offering an alternative, I cannot do that coz people are free to choose their own leaders. But patriots should look out for fakes & reject them.

  66. #78 chabashani kanshi, we are going to vote for Hon SATA period, why do you want us to vote for another person. Ukashala weka ichibwato ngachaisula takuli ati ngiswileniko. nipa bwato fye mwaiche

  67. Keyser Soze(74),read the credits after the movie and spell it right..tut tut!!Ba Mushindike trading insults change very little..tolerance of divergent preferences is difficult and i sympathise with the venom you direct at gays but the fact still remains The Post is booming and people will still buy the paper mostly out of anticipation of the next breaking story.Being gay is unAfrican and illegal..legislation i agree with, but we live in a global village so at times we just have to cope with it!!

  68. Keyser, i suppose we can forgive the simplicity of the keyboards around.It was a fantastic movie and only cost $6 million to make !!

  69. The biggest and long term contractual clients of the Post Newspapers is GRZ. If you withhold your $ 10.00 online monthly subscription, GRZ continues placing big money ads and hard copy orders. On monthly basis the Post collects a big check from the national treasury in equivalence of US $ 500,000.00 minimum on pure business terms. During their tyrannical tenure, Chiluba and Sata tried that strategy of scheming to kill the Post. I didn’t work.If you think you are better start your own.

  70. #81 Original pundit what else can we say you are a sleeping partner of Fred Mmembe, yakumbuyo naimifulunganya sana to make quick money

  71. Smart politicians and Diplomats wherever they go, the first thing they do is to identify the media houses, create a rapport and progress from there on. Sata and his challenged cadres here are evidently dreaming. They could not be anything in any competitive political undertaking without the role of the press. Modern political Campaigns are driven on competitively strategic smart Ground and Air campaign wars.Not this tendency seen here of deploying boots of blind but insulting machines.

  72. Where is LPM? Is he okay or still recovering from the Nchanga loss? I miss his constant outbursts, no wonder the post is boring of late!

  73. KC- i have been asking the same question where is LPM. After declaring himself to be stake and not carbage i hope he hasnr turned into chikanda. From a far you can easily mistake Chikanda for stake.

  74. KC,
    Why do you want to know where Ba Kateka is when all you do is insult him? You mean where you are in the Diaspora you don’t have credible family members home to tell you what Ba Kateka is doing?Does he have to report to you everything. Just attend the first lady’s town hall meeting in your County next Friday.

  75. #85 Pragmatist
    Zoona uli mafi. That paper all along has had anti ruling govt until Temba Chito and Dr Chuchu (who has sold his soul to the devil) bought shares upon clinching a deal of becoming pro govt. PragMAFist, stop bark at your shadow when things are straight forward that post paper was at the verge of crumple before your boss Dr Chuchu & co part away with cash to revamp its operations with a sealed deal. By the way do you know that paper is one of the most EXPENSIVE papers in the world?

  76. pragmatist, we all know the importance of the role the media play in our lives but assasination & bias reporting is not good for a country trying to become democratic and embracing multipartism to flourish. we are not saying Mmembe shouldnt report news wealth reporting but impariality is the key.In advanced countries there are alot of independent media as a result each media support the party that they are enclined to.In Zed it is the post alone.And for state runned media give impartial coverage

  77. KC do you miss carrying an umbrella during Presidential addresses so that you can protect yourself from Chuchu spiting on you?

  78. #85 Pragmafist iwe, if that is the case then why didn’t Mad Muwelewele devils(MMD) scoope the nchanga election with the help of all government machinery and gay newspaper post, the gay paper tried very hard to dicredit Hon SATA and PF, you are just talking rubbish iwe. just go and ask for Nichekeleko from muwelewele and your gay friend Mmembe. muwelewele maybe this time nasanguka na chikanda

  79. Contd. Here the times,Daily mail,ZNBC are clued and toothless to cover for other political parties thats why a change of govt means change of Directors in parastal organs because of political appointmentts that in many cases are based on who you know regardless of not having qualifications or able to stand for those principles, values of org.Eg Frank Mutubila resigned from Kitwe-ZNBC When Charles Mando was sucked by Kaundas’ govt for questioning him as a seasoned journalist to bring up the truth

  80. SATA is a true hero as evidenced by the Nchanga outcome. Again a black Zambian is poor because he betrays himself all gives major businesses to foreigners. Muzungu anikonde disease. God have mercy on this skin.

  81. #91 Socrates

    Dr Chuchu nasanguka chikanda ya bwelenge or something similar to mudyoli (ifisashi fya dry pumpkin leaves in Tonga).

    So far we have received two conflicting reports that Mrs Chuchu had a night stand while in EU, hence divorce is an indistinguishable looming and the other is that Chuchu has another stroke. Stay tune, I will furnish you with with real data.

  82. 95# I totally agree with you. Pragmatist, the post has lost it value and principles.Mmembe knows very well that whether he uses his toothless, biasness and crued reporting Zambians are educated and well informed with his propaganda and assasination of reporting. He is making Hon MC Sata more popular than ever.In America Sata is well knowned than Chuchu. Mmembe jst needs to continue with his appetite for amashinshi.2011 he will not defend chuchu. Chuchu return land grabbed -UNZA.2011

  83. FACT # 29
    Reading your post in # 29 i absolutely concur with you. Lack of education, isolation, hopelessness and deprivation have locked these street kids in insulting vocations. It is very sad especially that they have failed to improve themselves on all human index even in the Diaspora where opportunities are aplenty to the focused.

See through their dedication to insults and level of delinquency on rational arguments. You will attest the challenge of this “5th column”among these disillusioned

    To be known as insane like Sata is not synonymous with international plurality. Until you recognize the centrality, and the plurality, of theoretical frameworks of stature in international politics which is important for you to learn in view of your zest in public punditry. I respect your myths, freedom of choice and dissatisfaction with the ‘interparadigm debates. Evidently, in the swath of PF thugs, you have some challenge for rationalist and reflectivist approaches to po

  93. how is it most, if not all court actions against the Post have failed? Could it be this paper is run by people who know what they are doing? There have been countless carbon copies of this paper but they have all folded up.The curiosity of the Zambian readership continues to keep the Post in business.This says alot about the enterpreneurial skill of the management…they are in touch with what readers want and they successfully deliver without hinderance from court actions!!credit due to Fred??

  94. I am in Latin America. I have been waiting for my new passport from the zambian Consulate for the last three years. If i had a short cut of getting a new one I could do it…Like sata did.

  96. Tendai(112), just get one whichever which way…….there are no prizes for going through the front door in Africa!!

  97. you fools leave the post alone, it takes men wit guts to report such findings, why is it that your small heads can\t handle the truth, sata is eyeing to be the next president, we need to know all about him, we don\t want to be the next zim, think twice, sata should learn to ACT IN A CLEAR AND TRANSPARENT WAY,face both sides of sata, had we known about chiluba, we could have not made the mistake, balance your thinking and analysis,let sata clear the air,let the post do its work,

  98. #115 – You are full of envy, you can’t stand PF winning Nchanga seat. The reason for the Nchanga win is very simple, Zambians are getting thin and poorer every single day while on the other hand foreigners and politicians are working in tandem to get all the natural resources. Again my question is what is wrong with the black skin??

  99. #116 CALL ME ENVY , SATA IS NOT THIN,THE WINNING PM IS NOT THIN,THEY PLAY WIT THE MIND OF THE COMMON MAN , WHO DOES NOT SEE BEHIND FOOD AND NOW, THEY KNOW THAT VERY WELL, BUY HIM BEER AND HE SELLS HE RIGHT TO A FREE VOTE,WE CAN WIN BY BEATING THE FOREIGNER PHYSICALLY, ANYTHING WRONG WIT THE BLACK MAN, BUT THE FEW WHO KNOW,ARE SELECTIVE IN SPREADING INFORMATION, THE POST JUST DOES ITS WORK,SO ITS NUCALLED FOR NAMING THE POST , DON`T READ IT

  100. Advice to the Zambian Electorate 2011
    Zambia is at the cross roads and seriously needs direction by a Visionary.Being ATI this or ANTI that wouldn`t be enough to propell our country into a place of prosperity it rightfully deserves.We need selfless individuals whose main aim is service to the nation and as a result creating a generational change or paradym shift in the thinking of our people.We need issue based politics that would usher in workable policies directly benefiting the populous.

  101. we really need direction, I agree wit you Chapi,we have lived in this grey are for a long time, we just look at thing or issue in a short run,it really hurts me to see how votes are exchanged for beer,simple materials things etc, its like we live thing life of homer simpson, with him daff “beer” its a temporary solution , thats how this politican take advantage of these voters,
