Lawyers representing more than 400 traders of the Tandabale Marketeers Co-operative Society Limited in Livingstone have commenced contempt proceedings against Local Government and Housing Minister, Sylvia Masebo in the Livingstone High Court.This is in a case in which the traders have asked the Livingstone High Court to start contempt proceedings for issuing an eviction order for them to relocate to Libuyu market, when the injunction they had filed to restrain the council from evicting them from their trading places was still in force.
Ms. Masebo issued a 24 hour ultimatum last Tuesday to the traders for them to relocate to a designated area.
The traders through their lawyers from Mak Partners firm had obtained an injunction in the Livingstone High Court restraining the Livingstone City Council from evicting them from the area.
Ms Masebo has denied disregarding and disrespecting the court when she ordered Tandabale marketeers in Livingstone to vacate the site while an injunction was in force.
In her affidavit filed in opposition before Livingstone High Court Judge, Elizabeth Muyovwe yesterday, Ms Masebo argued that the application made by Mak Partners for the traders to have her cited for contempt was misconceived and misguided.
Ms Masebo asked the court to dismiss the application for leave for an order of committal with costs, arguing that it was an abuse of the court process and an attempt by the applicants to sustain illegalities under the court’s shield.
In opposing Ms Masebo’s affidavit in opposition, the traders submitted that Ms Masebo was a total stranger who became aware of the injunction but went ahead to disobey it under the guise of being a minister, which amounted to contempt of court.
And solicitor general, Dominic Sichinga also applied to the court for the State to be part of the case.
In his submission, Mr Sichinga said local authorities generally acted as agents of Government and were superintended in the functions by a public officer, namely the minister responsible for Local Government and Housing.
Justice Muyovwe set August 12 for ruling on the applications.
Here we go again
Masebo looks like a proper prostitute in the picture used by Lusaka Times in the article above. They say a picture says a thousand words.
The way things are happening, its like somebody is in a circus.
yeah thats how prostitutes look.ugly and trying had to make themselves beautiful with all sorts of make up.they should have shown a full pic then you would have appreciated something about her (the rear).
We know there has been poor planning in most of our cities and this is what the marketeers need to be understanding.our cities are congested with no space for expansion.I just when the time comes the people a chisokone won’t refuse to move.It takes you like 30 to get passed thru town.though i feel masebo should explain and reason with marketeer rather than issuing orders.
Has Masebo got kids. I wouldnt mind her becomign my big moma !!!!! Hehehehehehehehehe
Masebo is beautiful mwebantu!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jealous up !!!!!!!!
To all you who are saying that masebo is beautiful, then i wonder if you are not married the type of girls you go for or if you are married, how your wives look – UGLY. Masebo is not beautiful but an ugly woman who is luck to have all the good things of life at her laps. Take all she has and put her in the very markets she is trying to close and see how she will look. This is not beauty, but hefty zambian tax payers money at work on an ugly woman called Masebo my dear.
#2 and #4 Can you describe how a male prostitute looks like as well? It is a world of equal opportunity.
Looking at the pic above I don’t think your assessment is correct.
#8 Would you rather she was light skinned for you to appreciate her beauty?That is a slave/colonial mentality where one is assumed beautiful by the closer they look like the whiteman.
All women are ugly except that they apply all sorts of make-ups and just apply themselves. I believe thats what makes a woman a woman. Check out on women when they come out bed. You will run away.
Masebo is beatiful PLEASE period.
Tell us learned people, what are the definitive looks of prostitutes kanshi…both male and women prostitutes?
…the pervasive lack of respect for women reflected by some bloggers here is just shameful and sad.
People, the old men, children and women are suffering at this Tandabale Market because of poor planning by our local authority, so Madam Masebo should not be so excited about the underprivileged let them trade freely and feed the families.
I sc**wd her trice some 20 years ago and that was at some school some where.She really gave me a tough time.But i enjoyed it.
#11, i agree with you and especially when they go to Apollo ha !
u guyz,dont u know that some prostitutes are so cute or beautiful?its only the behaviour that is not good.
go along joseph mwila road in rhodes park around 21hrs and see some of the most beatifull beaches!
#8 and #11, are you saying ALL women including your mothers and sisters are ugly? Please define beauty then? Is it looking like a guy? Guys don’t apply the make up you’re talking about…does it mean they’re more beautiful than lasses? Do you find guys more attractive than women?
Iswawu is somebody who gets favors/paid for their sexual activities
But how many men even on this blog can say they look good?Just look at your vice president or the ministers.
Some of you would give Halle Berry a heart attack if you approached her…
She is a beautiful MILF. She has nice black skin.
So young men just keep on admiring her nice black skin and her booty.
a male prostitute has a long and thick dick. you should try it!
She wouldn’t know if it is a baboon or not.The teeth are like there is no toothpaste or dentist and with breath like a sewer,the hair like there are no barber shops in this world and body order funky funky
#11, unless u say u are a gay.
By the way, you don’t love a woman because she is beautiful but a woman is beautiful because u love her.
#25 Totally agree same goes for the men.
LT would you render a picture showing Masebo’s rear end, please.
I love all women…they are so beautiful…ifyanakilila pakwenda fi lobina.
#21, what do you mean, MILF?
Game recognises game. Only a prostitute can truly recognise another prostitute…and only an ugly person can recognise another ugly person.
You are all *****s! Did the marketeers sue Silvia over her looks? If not, why has this turned into a debate of fools? You are the worst bunch of fools I have ever come accross. I wonder what inspiration you render to your kids/sisters/brothers whatever!
Morons!!!
#18 and #24 Please do not miss quote me. There is no one who is urgly here on earth. We are all beatiful and handsome. The issue of being gay is neither here nor there. I wish I could meet some of you guys who are saying Masebo is urgly / prositute. Some of you guys, the way think thats the way you are because whatever you write reflects what you are. Masebo is beatiful and all the ladies out there period.
You guys stop this bad language.
#31 you are the biggest ***** ever. Why cant you contribute constructively. Quite alright the issue is on the marketeers but you have come out strongly with the bad sentiments.
#31 I agree with you but you are very very strong on them.
MILF is Mothers I would like to F**k
#31 you can’t call people *****s to stop them discussing *****ically.You are just inviting insults to your self.
Can somebody stop this nonsense of insulting one another. Why cant we contribute constructively on the matter at hand.
that reminds me, I need to put on my make up before someone comes up to me…:-) FORGET UGLY OR BEAUTIFUL, be serious and discuss matters that are important. What is wrong with us? There is a serious issue here and all we talk about is the picture, PLEASE. Hope none of you are planning to become ministers if you display such behavior of not being serious. OKAY, we lacked foresight in our planning and now we are reaping bad but what can we do? It’s the responsibility of the min. concerned to make these decisions but at the same time, ensure that they work something out for these ‘poor’ marketeers. I am sure she did all of that, meet with them, discuss & come up with amicable solutions.
#31 go with the flow
Am pretty sure there must be some space somewhere where our brothers and sisters (Marketeers) affetced will relocated. Ofcourse there was lack of planning but if somebody is squatting in your house, there comes a time they have to move somewhere. I sympathise with the pipo involved.
U dont shift people like you are stopping a wheelbarrow which is already in motion.lets give people the full information they deserve first especially if its an issue bordering on their lives.every where around the globe people or business institutions/houses are given a warning as it is said that forewarned is forearmed.its necessary because the very information will help them make a very critical decision however bad /hard to make.for me its immoral,inhuman and unforgivable for one to be evicted before you arrange an alternative place that befits human dignity.stop being bully madam.
I remember that the first problem was that there were no toilets to the new place they were suppose to relocate to.
#42. Am not quite sure. Did the minister give the marketeers the forewarning or she just woke up and sent the eviction notice to the marketeers?.
The whole thing is a two way issue which needs the input from the government and the marketeers themselves. Can the two parties invloved sit down before the actions are effected.
Kwena mulatushoba!!! There is nobody who is ugly in the eyes of God please
My apologies to all well meaning bloggers. Some chaps are making the whole essence of this blog a ridicule.
#45. I thought the issue of urglyness has been put aside. I can assure you that you are very pretty. Masebo is beatiful. No doubts. But can we tuckle the issue of the marketeers.
You are boring people,I was hoping to see constructive debates and no about Masebos body/ structure. You should learn to appreciate her body please
Shaggy, you must already be sweating.
#48 USA just stay with your iraq.you are useless to ass.
The only person who is talking sense is Chipondo
I dont see anything wrong with the marketeers moving, they were there illegally & they have been told several times to move out if my memory serves me right.Atleast they have even had ample time to move. If we want to develop this is the result. Should Masebo sit and not do her Job?She is contributing a lot to the development of our beautiful country.The marketeers should just move without wasting time wasting time is delaying development.There are things to be built on that area.
By the way beauty depends on what each individual sees.Thats why we even have the saying beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.For all are beautiful.I too see her attractive.(but thats not why i support de move)
#52. I tend to agree with you if and only if the marketeers were given a notice to move out way back. What Masebo should ensure is that wherever the pipo concerned are being moved to is a well planned place. We dont want the same thing to happen in the 5 or so years to come.
Councils through out the country have seen pipo buildng houses, tuntembas, shops etc. After many years that is when they give them few hours to move because of occupying places meant for something else. I wonder what these planners do in their offices. They should advise pipo well in advance
#53
Thats what we lack true information upon especilly that the businesses these people do alway have an effect to us their clients.how is the sanitation like where they are going?how shall the foods their selling be preserved:ie are there any refridgeration facilities or they dont require such?how are we protected from the negatives related to food/product handling management available where they are going?what of strategic location of the place?how is transportation/connectivity to other vital centres arranged?we need more information for both our good and theirs.educate me pls people.
Marketeers are individuals like any other person and hence they are entitled to a reasonable livelihood and dignified life style. The marketeers were in those places because of lack of planning and therefore it follows suit that if the authorities would like to move them enough notice should be furnished and suitable places for relocation prepared to avoid creating another illigal and squater markets for no facilities for trading and loss of livelihood.
Guyz please learn to respect women and authority.Lusaka Times please do sme thing about these guyz sending messagers from Chainama Hospital.
Shantie compounds mushroomed because of lack of planning. Planning is always foreign to councils. This mentality is inherited from building structures in villages, where there no path names. Check out woodlands extension in Lusaka , there are no street names
It is good when you here marketeers hiring lawyers to sort out such issues, this is the spirit that should be encouraged as it will make people wake up and learn how to plan!!!
#8 Have you noticed how a great number of successful black men in the West always marry white women? This trend is catching up in Zambia too.
We need pipo who are natural beauty and not this masebo who is applying different type of amby just 4 her to look beauty, look at her now because of the same amby she is looking like an old woman. why is she not married if she’s beautiful? no wonder some of the deputy ministers are screwing the same masebo cause she’s is open to all. masebo can you pliz leave these pipo alone and deal with the concils who are giving illegal plots.stinking asi…
Mesebo got a big noise and big butt
Yes we may say al sorts of bad stuff on masebo all of you bloggers came from a WOMEN PUSSY just like Masebo’s so mind your statements we all have our Ugly Mothers from where we came out of their VAGINA so torn down your language fools
But guys, jealous down, MASEBO is beautiful. Every time I see her in pick it dicks. How can I approach her? Help me gents and gentlemen, I want to win and dick sizeably!
LT should know by now that such a picture doesn’t go well for a serious story. What we’re reading now is a sexually inspired discussion. It is natural for men, esp. Zambian men to talk about women, but please, show some respect in your words. They are the mothers of the nation. Engage your brain before you put your mouth in gear!
#64 Mwebantu sure!!!please dont expose ypour stupidness in here, do you have your mother? Masebo is a woman jus like your own mother from who’s VAGINA you came from
Iwe naiwe Luwande, ku Malaysia I hear its the world of dicking. Are you a saint yourself? By the way how old is Masebo? I think she still pure and young to adopt. Behave gents!
Mwebantu sure, its un zambian to discuss our mothers in the blogg mates, Yes Malasia was like zambia not so long ago but they have since developed if you have no idea most panosonic electricals in the uk and usa are from Malaysia, zambian men cant think of how to even produce a simple needle, you are busy insulting our Mother Masebo, go UNZA and pick some girl there Mwebantu they have no lectures now if you ar so horny just masterbate mate
Excuse me but this is not acceptable, as the saying goes ’empty minds discuiss people”. We are supposed to discuss ISSUES that can improve our councils and not Masebo. I do not think her being UGLY or Beautifull will add value to the council nor will it affect us personally unless we have ambitions of one day waking UP NEXT TO HER!!!
one zambia one masebo.
Surely Lusaka times you have a better picture of Ba Sylvia Tembo, why did you pick this particular one where she is looking all “aided”, weak and feeble from the usual Masebo we know? Or is there another juicy story to follow this?
She looks like a drag queen.
At least we all agree that Bembaland is the Headquarters of theft.
Quit arguing about looks and talk about the subject at hand. Such naivety is stupid.
Guys, just say you are feeling horny because of my beautiful picture. just approach me nicely. we can have two hours of good time so long you pay for better results
#75 which porno website are you.
Masebo over does herself. Beautiful african princesses, the most sweetest of the female spieces, there is no need for you to cake your selfs in muliple layers of makeup, there is no need for you to stick on hair that dosent grow. You are the most beautiful at your natural self.
Stop tyring to look like black muzungus.
Interesting case, I will watch this space and see where this ends up.
Doesn’t the media have better pictures of Masebo or is she always wearing “ka Always”? I am sick and tired of seeing her in the same outfit, LT get updated pics of her.
She is a national assembly hule. While her pimp lies almost comtose in france, she has started dressing silly. That is what happens when the girls have no control
she is nothing but a big booty! takeout that booty she is as inconspicuos as nawakwi!!
The locals allocated themselves and the Local authority are not involved so there is no need to to warn these guys.
Why do you people like changing topics like wind.
Some of you blogs have even forgotten the topic at hand.
For all you know is to insult every one and every thing.
Get a life.
Leave such topics to well meaning Zambians to contribute to the issue at hand.
Who is paying for your insults anyway?
83. jaya
we have been blogging about this topic for the last 2 months i think, and you still whant us to talk about it. Nowander nothing gets done in Zambia. Make speeches and talking, champions but no action.
Masebo is a circus. She is not real, but artificial. She is a representative of someone else. She is so made up that I doubt if her mum would recognize her! Why do some women want to look like someone else and not themselves?
I will only comment after 12th August 2008 when the Judge makes her ruling. I tells you the Livingstone City Council is a bunch of fools who should have listened to our advise. These marketeers are smarter than most Councillors in Livingstone whatmore with HH’s input.
There we go again! When the learned commented that Masebo should have concentrated on her law-making role, some said she was right and labelled her a hard-working Minister. Mwaona manje? I certainly did not think the Mayor and the Town Clerk were incapable of doing anything about the marketeers. Kusezela pa mgong’o ka?
Let our leaders respect protocols mwe banu napapata. Iwe waona manje Masebo angena mu Jere; mulekeni alobe cabe mwami. Cosa belt osacedwa iwe, inde bwana!
Now Masebo says “Residential plots should not be used for business”
A lot of guest houses are in residential plots and the minister is silent about them.
There is need for clarification what kind of business should not be conducted in residential plots.
but i get surprised, does the opic say masebo and her ugliness or masebo and the marketeers??? guys u r surprising, kwaliba ukulanda pabubi bwamuntu shino nshiku, u r disadvantaged my dear ones…
#89 i mean ‘topic’ not ‘opic’
i kinda agree with Masebo and the councils on this matter. i onced worked in the planning office of one of the once clean and well planned district council, and was responsible for dealing with marketeers. these people know no law. they would build an unsafe and very ugly structure in the middle of the town, and then threaten your life if you do your job of advising them to avoid such things. my boss used to send me with the police in the night to go demolish these tutembas. what’s worse is we’d find people actually living and sleeping there…for 2 yrs I and my boss kept sanity in that town. the place is now an eye sore…the marketeers are now un touchable.
