Since vacating the hot seat FTJ has only been out of the country to hospital in the RSA ??how sad…if i were former president i would be all over the world giving lectures and fronting good causes for a handsome fee of course!! Koffi Annan wasn’t even a president and yet he is getting WELL PAID for trying to stop the Kenyans from resorting to the machete!!FTJ must be quite depressed having to see the same faces day in day out!! No wonder his ticker is giving problems!
Now that his days getting closer for him to go to court, his cursed heart will start giving us more reviews and trouble. By 5th May, the chap will be declared unfit to stand trial calling for another bloody expensive video conference. The chap has continued to mock us and will always mock us. Let him hang with his cursed heart.
Who are you to judge a brother Mr Gluco,what if his situation is true.Do not condem and you shall not be condemed too.God be with you
To follow up # 3:
And if his situation is not true,he will be judged by the almighty.
How come the South African President never goes abroad for treatment? (Neither do his opposition leaders and former presidents)Is he healthier than our presidents or is he better looked after medically at his state house?
Mr. Mwanawas has problems in stopping Mr Chiluba’s Medical treatment in South Africa becozi He himself and his family including allies have had more treatments abroad than any other Head of State/Government and his family in the history of the Nation. Sir Evelyn Hone and others before him were never reported to have gone for Medical treatment in the UK, They utilised federal health facilities. Kaunda did not have the habit of travelling out for medical treatment, even in the late 80’s when health facilities were very poor Kaunda and his family still utilised Zambian facilities. Remember Kaunda’s son who died from Aids, he too utilised Zambian facilities and died within those facilities.
All we need is the truth from Doctor chiluba thts all! Had he improved the working conditions of Docs and Nurses and others or put healthy matters first during his tenure of office,all these trips would have not been there!
Let this be a lesson to all aspiring candidates!
When in power priotise issues at home first, not foreign issues! We have qualified healthy personal that can work on our former and current President’s sickness,without spending huge amount of our hardly earned money we get frm pathetic condition of services.
Bosses work on Hospitals,schools,agriculture,and Prisons you never know kamboo mazuba ano zintu zila chinja! Who knew that Chiluba’ll be sued/prosecutd 1 day?
Sory Ba Dr.FTJ we wish you a very quick recovery and give the zambian people answers! May God heal you soon and protect you from evil! We love you so much,you changed and brought alot of things into zambian Politics and really opened our eyes,thank you for that! but we need answers bosses!SAY THE TRUETH AND THE TRUETH ALONE SHALL SET YOU FREE* Don’t be scared just name them! then we the zambiam shall deal with them all!
Something tells me I should be sympathetic to the midget but again, life was tough during his presidency. Problem yaba Mwanawasa is that nothing is happening…WE WANT THE BIG FISH. Abena Chungu and Kabwe were simply learning the ropes, that’s why they were caught shishita. Daily vi news vaku court naimwe! Do unto others what was done to Bulaya!!!!!!!
Chiluba is not as sick as he wants us to believe, when I was in Zed in December, I saw him addressing a press conference about Matani (sic) looking very fit and jovial. He makes a lot of noise but when the trial is about to start he gets sick. Please.
Chiluba is nothing but a crook. He is wasting our money by going abroad everytime he has a bad orgasm. He must go to matero clinic near where I stay to see his legacy.
Thugs like him must not be entertained.
Maybe taking back Regina to the owner will help the poor man’s heart
Wasting tax payers’ money.this chap is not sick at all…ubu chende mudala ebulemwipaya…how did you grab a wife?
Taskforce pliz make sure this chap is convicted.he has caused alot of pain to many indigenous Zambians since he’s congolese he didn’t care.
Leave the man alone you guys. The man has not yet been convicted of any crime as far as i know. Why don’t we all wait for the much MMD influenced chuchu’s courts’ verdict. Of course he has been found with a case to answer and that does not make him guilty anymore. The man can still explain his part.
Yes hes not sick, sources have confirmed that when hes in S. Africa hes drinking and ‘partying off’ everyday in his hotel room at the expense of the poor Zambian. SHAME!!
Ba Undertaker
Mwisakamana…if he’s truely sick then his ticker will soon cease and you’ll do your jod but otherwise that ka man is just wasting the money we sweat for and pay to Magande and crew!!! Just take the chap to Matero or Kalingalinga clinic!! or better yet ku n’ganga!!!
People lets be realistick. We must look back and see all the good things which chiluba has done not always looking at the negative things all the time. Chiluba made us realise how important it is to own our own assets for example houses, he realieved us from quing for essential comodities so he should be praised for that. no one is perfect in this world so let us not continue saying bad things about him without any proof the man played his part which was good of course. We should learn to appreciate him since his the one who opened our eyes to realise what is good and what is bad otherwise Zambia was just going to be like Zim so let Chiluba enjoy his freedom
i don’t understand the fus.you are blaming ftj for going to south.for a change why don’t you blame levy and his courts for wrong jugement and for wasting taxe payers money on a wrong and long drugging case.ftj is entitled to these benefits he is just enjoying.if the man is sick its okey for him to attend to that call.but i think the court case should be taken serious on the part of the gvt so that taxe payers money can and should be used for other important things like hospitals and clinics which need serious attention.its true ftj is as free as any zambian who go for treatment in uk.

14 is the only Jew , his pretty sure Chiluba never amased wealth dubiously…. the man is on record using zamtrop cash in London giving it to his daughter and claiming the money was his . He claims friends put that money. So low shallow minded Chiluba thinks we all are stupid. When money is depisited in an account one easily traces the source. He could have simplicy asked the London court to obtained a detailed bank statement to show us which branch and account it came from but alas he cant now his sick.
that what happens when u grab other peoples wives…………………
He shouldnt be accorded the chance to go out for tretment , let him feel the effects of sacking the diligent Zambian doctors when he was in power. Let him go to UTH and be attended to by the Zairean clinical officers!!

I see FTJ has dribbled passed you. Such is the trickily and canning nature of FTJ. He set up a lot of booby traps so that even the very elect like you can be deceived. Should we praise FTJ for what his job entailed? I wish the can allocate him Namseche Prison in Chipata
