Various political parties and veteran politicians have expressed deep sorrow and grief at the death of republican President, Levy Mwanawasa who passed on at 10:30 hours this morning in France.
Dr. Mwanawasa suffered a stroke on June 29, this year while in Egypt where he had gone to attend the African Union Summit. He was admitted to Sharm-El-Sheik International hospital before being evacuated to Percy Military hospital in Paris France where he died this morning.
Former Vice President, Enoch Kavindele described the death of Dr. Mwanawasa as a great loss to the nation.
“I am very saddened about the loss of our President. I had the pleasure of working with him”, he said.
Mr. Kavindele hoped that Dr. Mwanawasa’s economic emancipation which he was working for would not be disturbed.
He said Dr. Mwanawasa had devoted his time to fighting poverty in the country which had already borne fruits.
“Zambians must keep calm and maintain peace. The loss of a President in not easy,” he said.
Mr. Kavindele was late Dr. Mwanawasa’s first Vice President.
Retired politician, Sikota Wina told ZANIS that the death of Dr. Mwanawasa was a disaster of the greatest magnitude to the nation.
“Dr. Mwanawasa had already made a very firm stamp on the nation, he had a direction into which we were all going,” he said.
Mr. Wina said, “Let us all pull ourselves and continue where he left”.
Opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) expressed great sadness at the death of Dr. Mwanawasa saying it was a sad development to the nation.
UPND President, Hakainde Hichilema called on Zambians to mourn the late President with dignity and honour because he did a lot of things to the country.
“Let us remain united as Zambians,” Mr. Hichilema.
UPND spokesperson, Charles Kakoma wished the first family God’s guidance during this trying moment.
Mr. Kakoma has since appealed t Zambians to remain calm during the mourning period.
Former ruling party, United National Independence Party (UNIP) vice president, Njekwa Anamela, said the death of the President was a tragedy that touched all Zambians.
A clergyman, Bishop John Mambo said Zambians should put aside their political differences and mourn the late President in a calm and peaceful manner.
And first Republican President Dr. Kenneth Kaunda has described the death of President Mwanawasa as a great loss to Zambia and Africa.
Speaking at a Press Briefing at his office in Lusaka today, Dr. Kaunda said President Mwanawasa provided impeccable and exemplary leadership to Zambia and Africa as a whole.
Dr. Kaunda said Dr. Mwanawasa exhibited the essential tenets of good governance through his relentless advocacy for the universal observance of human rights, rule of law and the fight against corruption.
He noted that Zambia has lost a great leader who had a vision to attain economic and social development for all the people of the country.
Dr. Kaunda said President Mwanawasa’s vision to eradicate poverty and underdevelopment can be attained if all citizens emulate his exemplary leadership.
The first republican President called for unity, sacrifice and nationalism among all citizens by being guided by the country’s motto of One Zambia One Nation .
And second Republican President Dr. Frederick Chiluba has extended his deepest condolences to the First Family, the First Lady Maureen Mwanawasa, the Acting Vice President Rupiah Banda, government and the nation over the death of President Levy Mwanawasa.
Dr. Chiluba told ZANIS in an interview that the nation should remain calm, united and peaceful as the country mourns Dr. Mwanawasa.
“I urge the nation to remain calm, united and peaceful as the country goes through this difficult time of mourning our beloved President,” he said.
Meanwhile, the United States of America government has conveyed its condolences to First Lady Maureen Mwanawasa, the First Family and the nation on the death of President Mwanawasa.
American Ambassador to Zambia Carmen Martinez told ZANIS that the thoughts of the American people are with the Zambian citizenry and the entire SADC region.
Mrs. Martinez said Dr. Mwanawasa served the country with conviction and commitment. She said President Mwanawasa would be long remembered and admired for his contribution to economic development, good governance, regional peace and security, and respect for the rule of law.
She said his legacy provides an example to leaders, both locally and abroad.
And British High Commissioner to Zambia Alistair Harrison said the British Government Offices in Zambia were deeply saddened to hear of the death of Dr Levy Patrick Mwanawasa.
“Our thoughts are with the people of Zambia and in particular with the family of the late President at this very difficult time,” he said.
And Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) have expressed shock at the death of President Mwanawasa.
Women for Change (WFC) Executive Director, Emily Sikazwe says it is a dark day for Zambia adding that her organisation stands with the first family and the rest of Zambians in mourning Dr. Mwanawasa.
Ms Sikazwe told the Zambia News and Information Services (ZANIS) in an interview in Lusaka today that on a personal level she understands what the first family in particular the first lady is going through.
She explained that as a widow, it is not easy to bringing up children without their father.
Ms Sikazwe has since called upon Zambians to remain calm and united as the country mourns and puts to rest President Mwanawasa.
And the Southern African Centre for Constructive Resolution (SACCORD) Executive Director, Lee Haabasonda said the country has been robbed of a great leader.
Mr. Haabasonda noted that President Mwanawasa meant well for the country adding that he had put the country’s social and economic development on the right track.
He has since conveyed his deepest condolences to the first family and hopes that Zambians will remain peaceful in this trying moment.
Meanwhile the Media Institute of Zambia (MISA) Zambia Chapter have also expressed suddenness at the death of President Mwanawasa.
Chairperson, Henry Kabwe said the media fraternity is touched and affected as President Mwanawasa was committed to Media reforms and providing a conducive atmosphere for the media to operate effectively.
Mr Kabwe said Dr Mwanawasa will be greatly missed adding that he hopes that his successor will continue from he left.
“Our prayer was to see him come back home to Zambia and continue with the media reforms he had started,” Mr. Kabwe said.
And the Press Association of Zambia (PAZA) Vice President, Amos Chanda said the death of President Mwanawasa is a serious tragedy for the whole nation.
Mr. Chanda said the media will greatly miss President Mwanawasa leadership as he had elevated the country position of good governance to the highest level.
He noted that Dr Mwanawasa had committed himself to good governance and constitutional reforms adding that he was also a champion on the fight against corruption.
Mr Chanda said PAZA hopes that President Mwanawasa’s successor will also adhere to his good governance polices and reforms.

Not me sorry.
Not afer all the money as tax payers are going to pay for him staying in a posh hospital in France.
#1  come on man, move on, what is the point of beating a dead horse? This is not the time for your stupidity here. Save it for another day.
Anyway, good to see all our former leaders come out and talk about the need for unity. Lets show the world how it is done. We are Zambians and peace and unity is the middle name of our country. God bless the first family. God bless the people of Zambia. God bless Zambia
This man was a father, a brother, a son – Beebeo show some class please.
gentlemen #1 and #2, you sentiments are very unzambian. A man has passed and it is not right to speak ill of the dead. LPM rest in peace to most of us you will always be hailed as a great lawyer, and an exemplary leader. My thoughts are with your family and the nation at large. i worry about the vacuum that your passing has created. i pray for peace in our beloved country.MHSRIP.
Where is the funeral being held?
MHSRIP….
Twausa. Thats the Spirity Zambia. United Always in times of need. Chindi ca mause nchiindi ca kukamantana. Lets unite now and forever.
This is a great loss to the nation and africa as a all. Levy you did the best for the country MYSRIP
Stupid comments from Disgruntled Foolish Individuals (DFI) .i.e. # 1 and 2. You heartless chaps if you don’t know what it means to mourn go and enjoy your life than adding salt on our wounds.
MHSRIP
Its sad that the international media can’t make a mention of the beloved LPM passing away. I wonder why we have to pay tv licence while our leaders are sidelined and have medals won in china as breaking news – BBC and Sky are crap. CNN had sometime for that and am sure zambians living in USA do appreciate that.
RIP LEVY
Riches can not buy life so is money. If they had to pay billions to keep Levy or any Zambian soul, it will be ok for me and hope for all loving people. This negative and naive attitude of saying “he stayed in a posh hospital in France” is really regrettable and shameful. Having said that, there are questions the government must answer to Zambians in regards to the “fraud” updates they have been issuing on the State House website. A commission of inquiry must be put in place to ascertain the truth behind the updates on the health of our beloved President who did his best despite his healthy scare.
May the good Lord bless the first family and Zambia as a whole.One Zamia, One Nation, Peace.
This is a sad day for Zambia and Zambians at large. However we need to be told how much this comatose situation cost the country, so we can avoid incurring such unnecessary costs in future
#12 You are a very funny girl. You do not know the British. You will huff and puff. Christine Ohuruogu’s Gold is more important and yeah why should they worry anyway?
Posts @ # 1 and 2 are very childish. People like you are very demonic and just disappear in the oblivion.
A normal person would never post what you posted.
The Beeb would rather go and cover Bob Mugabe than a certain Levy dying in France. By the way France is only a stone`s throw than Zim.
may his soul rest in peace.
The man that finaly had the guts to shake up things in our beloved country, the man who stood up against Robert Mugabe when everyone else kept quiet, the man who did not tolarate corruption. I will personaly miss this great man and am sorry to say that the good die young. To the first family I say the angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God. Long live LP Mwanawasa. To my fellow Zedians let us unite as this is the time for mourning our great leader. I LOVE MY COUNTRY.
Didier E. Mulumba/Sweden
Lets all look at the good that LPM has done for our country!I think he has been by far the best leader we have had, it shows from his track record. Zambia’s economy has been fast growing under him. I hope Chirwa and HH can get together and lead our nation.
#12 i’m also feeling bad here!it shows zambia is useless to internation media.They can’t even mention our president!.Gold medal are important than lpm.useless BBC as if uk was not a master colony.
we just have to make our country famour in order to be regornised.
Anyway God bless us.May his soul rest in peace!
He was a Great Son, a Brother and a Father for Africa, may he rest in peace
#russia-moscow if it was Bob who died you would seen BREAKING THE NEWS on the bottom screen.
its really a sad situation, may his soul rest in peace. Am worried who next we will have as president….
Katele says the death of LPM has cast a dark cloud on Zambia, I think he is wrong, it has actually cast a dark cloud on him and his fellow MMD shushushu’s who thought they would never wake up from living their dreams. No had feelings but for some people its a breakthrough they have been praying and fasting for.
RIP LPM
The French are covering all the costs you imbecile. You are the cockroaches in offices who have a small corner table and not recognized by anybody and trying to draw attention to yourself on on blog you left-handed wanker! Wabe-T Sta-nyoko. You are an ***** with no brains.
Bane, we want to mourn LPM traditinaly…Nomba bushe amalilo yali kwisa.??? Is it state hse or Ku farm?
Hope it will be peaceful knowing these countries.
Shakafusex…wibilima i know you plans..ulefwaya ukupyana tekalya first we still crying….Elyo niba watch tower NO ifyatambi..
may his soul rest in peace
6. Miss Zambia says: Aug 19th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
Please grow up!
Rest in peace LPM, your footprints will not be erased.
Ba 27. Kandanji, RB says we mourn LPM with dignity not insults, even if u r trying 2 raise a point, wachilamo we mwana
Grow up!!!!!!!!!
#27 Ci Kandanji ifimasele wecipubawe waba icimona. Ububi kwati nisokulu. Ukufita, waba icilufumo.
MHSRIP: He has definitely contributed to the development of Zambia and he will be remember in history as who sacrificed his life for the sake of mother Zambia. To all those who are calling him names, remember that this man died serving mother Zambia. Let us show him the appreciation in this time of sorrow and put our difference aside. Let us maintain peace because a nations character is judged in times like these. My thoughts remain with the first family. God bless them and God bless the people of Zambia.
chabipa,MHSRIP
Abena Kandanji muli bakali. Ati left handed wanker? Thats a classic…lol
#2 please grow up
Well done CNN for the announcement on your leading news.Not these biased BBC networks that will always be local channels.
Whatever you feelings about this man could have been, we really need to be sensitive to the feelings of the family that has lost a loved one and the country that has been deprived of a great leader. I was not always a fan of Levy but I must admit he brought back a sense of dignity to our country. He made being a Zambian cool again. Rest in peace your Excellency. You will be greatly missed.
#27 no need for the insults. This blog and especially today is meant to share the sad news. You could be affected more, but we have to leave as civilised people and respect each other. Please, sit back and think twice before you blog. The man deserves decent mourning from all corners of the world. My heart is with you all zedians back home. RIP LPM
Levy’s death is a great loss to the country. It will be hard to find a replacement half as good as he was although he had his faults. I support the call for respect during this time.
I think the international media did not rush to report on the news because of the embarrassment they suffered in the false alarm.
Ok, on a serious note, #1 and 2’s comments are really un-called for. And condolences to the Mwananwasa family. He is a los to the entire nation. He was such a principled man. who could ever stand p and prosecute a person who hand picked him the way Chiluba did. Only a brave, selfless and extrmely well principled person can ever do that. Most ordinary pipo would have een busy sucking up to FTJ. Now Zambians please lets not let FTJ and Co run the country again because we ll go back a hundred years. RIP LPM!
Sad to hear the news, my his sour rest in peace. Let’s pray for his family. God bless him
#1 and 2 are you by any chance first cousins with Mugabe who didnt show any remorse when our dear president suffered the stroke? You must surely be from Pluto……geez!!! Grow up….
#1,2,18…Whats wrong with you,this is not time to post funny comments on this blog especialy on the death of our beloved president.how can you be so heartless?u’re behaving as if you’re goin to live for the rest of your life.if u hav or had personal agendas with our presdo[Lpm]just go and make sure th@ your grandfather mugabe lives long.let peace prevail in our beloved country,may levy patrick mwanawasa’s soul rest in peace.
People, get it through your heads…. your country is not news worthy because there is no war and thus they’ll mention the passing of your prez as a by the way… to them it’s not news… You wait until you have chaos like Zim or Darfur, THEN you’ll be newsworthy.
Let’s just mourn our president and celebrate his life. Don’t worry about the world media.
It’s a great loss hope mwebeba(anyandule)won’t take advantage of the situation.kLekeni tuloshe
Rest in Peace Levy…and Condelences to the first family.
Lets mourn our President with dignity…please Katele,Mlongoti,Teta & Mpombo be quite over who moves to state house…Do not politize the death..THIS IS A NATIONAL DEATH, not MMD matter alone, Hence KK, Chiluba, Sata,HH have prominent roles to play here such welcome other state officials for a funeral.
Lets show the world that Zambia is united even in darkest hours like this one..
Viva Mwanawasa’s Legacy!! ZAMBIA MISS YOU.
Sincere condolences to the mwanawasa family.May his soul rest in eternal peace.
Great loss to the family, nation and africa as a whole. Let us all stand together in times like these. One Zambia, one nation!
Strategy for the insensitive cabinet has been disturbed. Mwalacula some of you guys. You thot you where going to by time especially iwe ka Mike
We are very suddned by the death of our hardworking leader.
#47 if it was Bob who died those Gold it would have been BREAKING NEWS. Well done the Beeb!
Number 12. Atleast ALJAZEERA an Arabic English Channel, France 24 and E TV News in S/Africa have made a Mention.
#47 If it was Bob who died it would have been BREAKING NEWS. Well done the Beeb!
#47 do you think Xavior Chungu shares your feelings on LPM’s passing on… reminder Xavior lost his wife and prety much his life after rigging elections for the same LPM…. He did some good things to the economy but he was no angel and he should be rememberd as such. He had good economical policies and he also brough nepotism.
# 1 & 2…WHO ARE YOU AND WHICH SCHOOL DID YOU ATTEND…ACCORDING TO FRENCH LAW..HEADS OF STATE EMERGENCY MEDICAL FEES ARE FREE WITHOUT ANY KWACHA…REPENT YOUR COMMENTS..THIS IS A SOLEMN TIME FOR ZAMBIA, ALL U THINK ABOUT IS YOUR TAXES, HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY LAST MONTH..I GUESS NOTHING…LETS MOURN OUR PRESIDENT WITHOUT SUCH GAMES…
Sad news
It’s disturbing to have such a situation and condolences to the first family.we are with you in prayers and wishing our beloved father eternal peace and rest.
no.32 why should i grow up? IF I WANT TO GO AND MOURN RIGHT NOW WHERE SHOULD I GO?
It’s disturbing to have such a situation and condolences to the first family.we are with you in prayers.
Levy’s funeral is the calm before the storm. Ifintu fya pena Zambia
1,2 you have spent to much time in white man’s land sweeping floors, That’s why you have no respect for anyone.
#60 LPM died more than a month ago in Egypt. If RB and his cohorts didnt put LPM’s death aside just to award themselves the salary increaments which they will enjoy only for 90 days. People have mourned LPM and they gotten over it. We knew Mbeki wouldnt announce LPM’s death without verification. When the dust settles we will know the truth.
May his soul rest in peace but now we look to the future. In 90 days we have to vote for a new leader who is capable to lead the nation and who must be better than mwananwasa. Because we need progress!Electrol Commision get moving
The man who knew best the constitution review has died, I do not know what to do now, any advise?
post 1 & 2 go to Zimbabwe and see if u would be able to send such stupid msgs,u should have respect for dead.u are lucky that l dont know u coz l would have taught u a lesson.no right thinkin person can heroworship that crazy ***** or lunatic called Mugabe.
#65 ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ahaaaa! How did you know? I think we work together. Are you the one that sweats the most? I know you.
#69 what are you doing in Arusha?
Oh come on 1 and 2 have a right to express themselves! Anyway he died in a hospital in France. What does that tell you about the health care system in in our country? He should have died in UTH like the rest of us.
hhmmm bane ba chamanga bayipaya cabbage ala its dark day for zammbia from now on because katele has manufactured a special carbon fiber dark cloud with all his minions na shikulu wakwe puta .twafwa bane the only person who can lead us is teta or sexafuswa
Nabatushe muchibote.
“the loss of a president in not easy” Mr. Kavindele did not say this. Lusaka times please edit your things a lot of people have complained about this. Now that our leader is gone, many people would want to know what is happening in Lusaka and then you write broken English. Anyways i agree with Kavindele, let us keep calm and peace. “The loss of a president is not easy”
MY HEARTFELT CONDOLENCES TO THE LATE PRESIDENT LEVY MWANAWASA’S FAMILY AND TO THE PEOPLE OF THE REPUBLIC OF ZAMBIA. IT IS ZAMBIA’S FIRST DEATH OF A PRESIDENT AND HOW THE PEOPLE AND GOVERNMENT DEAL WITH THE LOSS OF THEIR PRESIDENT, THE DEMOCRATIC ELECTION OF A NEW PRESIDENT AND THE RETURN TO THE COUNTRY’S PATH OF PEACE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPEMENT WITHOUT CORRUPTION, WILL DETERMINE HOW THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY VIEW ZAMBIA AND THE STABILITY OF THE COUNTRY. THIS IS CRUCIAL FOR FOREIGN INVESTMENT AND CONTINUED GROWTH OF ZAMBIA’S ECONOMIC FUTURE. I TRULY HOPE THAT ZAMBIA MAKES THE ‘RIGHT’ DECISIONS FOR ITS OWN FUTURE.
#59 nice place to die then? I must be the next president.
TO CONTINUE THE PATH THAT THE LATE PRESIDENT LEVY MWANAWASA SET FOR ZAMBIA AND ITS FUTURE WOULD BE THE GREATEST TRIBUTE THAT THE ZAMBIANS COULD PAY TO A UNIQUE, FAR-SIGHTED, TRUE AND HONEST LEADER.
Very sorry for your loss, he is our African hero. RIP levy
#72 reason I am here! Get it?
cabipa ba Levy. MYSRIP
it is so sad to lose the cabbage now kalaki will have nothing to write about.anyway i knew a cabbage could never survive in a field
of elephants.all cabbage species prepare prepare to be uprooted from the land(all relatives you will be fired ba koswe)maka maka ba zimandola abena kunda
# 32 you are very foolish. You chap you are in sweden working in a bar and you can`t even fly back for the funeral coz you get $300.00 per month mbuzi. Tulefwaya ukuya kumalilo ifwe mambala. Ba RB nikwi kuli amalilo bushe???????
what may happen now may even be sadder than this loss!! i just wish presidency in Africa was treated like an institution and its characteristics were independent of the current holder!! if we attain more of such independence any planned or unplanned transition from one to another would be smooth. the news will be ever so interesting for the next few months as people fall over each other clammering for PLOT 1!!
ponyax we mbushi we u shine shoes pa chisokone market do you think you would go to state house ne fi gamba pamputi.pumbafu ule typer na laptop yakwa katele
Dr KK, would prefer to die in UTH, believe me. A couple of weeks ago, he under went medical review there.
Isn’t it sad that most of the prominent people in our country die in other countries.
That just undermines the kind of health-care facilities and personnel that we have in Zambia.
Hopefully, the next president will overhaul the health system, so our leaders can die back home with everybody else.
It will be hard to replace a leader of his nature. Rest in peace state council.
Our leaders are supposed to be well looked after and mourned with dignity hence the issue of medical fees has no room.levy moved the country and our continent,his efforts are appreciated here in the country am living in.Lets all stand together and not dwell in things that could hurt and bring embarament to our country and the continent.Lets learn from Mozambique 1986
Reuters and other media are reporting that the Zambian Kwacha has dropped by 3% at the news of Dr.Mwanawasa’s death. This is the time for us to hold firm and rise from this loss. Let the world judge us by how we will pick ourselves up and let them continue to have faith in our country’s economy. Let’s unite and continue work towards economic growth and stability that we have seen in the last few years. Abash corruption!! Forward with productivity and unity!! Condolences to the nation and specifically, the Mwanawasa family.
REUTERS: Zambia’s kwacha currency fell as much as 3 percent on news of Mwanawasa’s death.
The International Monetary Fund and other Western donors extended billions
mwe mbushi mwe theres nothing hard about replacing a cabbage if its rotten u buy another one
No need to cry over spilt milk! lets move on. he was half dead for more than a month anyway.so what next? We need proper medicals for aspiring candidates henceforth, this death has cost me as a tax payer alot of money which could have been used for development. So, half dead people like Sata should rule themselves out of the race!!
#89 cont’d: of dollars in debt relief to Zambia after Mwanawasa curbed government spending and launched the biggest anti-corruption drive since independence from Britain in 1964
P.S for those that are displeased about the BBC not mentioning Mwanawasa’s death, tune in to BBC 4.
Assex mwaice bauze ba nvesese….
I really dont care about LPM
why is that marriam… i’m sure you had your share of cabbage…
#66 don`t expose your ignorance the the entire world. Who told you that we are voting in 90 days time? Read article 38 of zambian constitution and educate yourself. RB remains the president up to february when the next presidential polls are likely to be held. However if he wishes he can call for early polls. His cabinet remains unchanged. Wilabwatabwatafye kapala.
condolences….let’s mourn today, but tomorrow is another day where we have to worry about the nation as a whole.
Beebeo or whatever you call yourself, you must a big fool and joke.
In the first place, the money you contribute to the govt is minute for you to complain.
Secondly, dont cry about tax payers money because the zambian govt did not pay for Mr Mwanawasa, the French govt did. Dont just open your mouth and spit rubbish. Research
96 Read the constitution you piece of sh**t
Mirriam @ 94, you sound like a sconned woman. Move on!!!
Iyee abantu baya. Rest in Peace bashi Chipo

#98. shuko4011, Dallas, USA. Wecinangwawe. So what if the French are paying for you? Why didnt he die in the UTH? Would your stinking relatives from the village have a chance to die at the Pecry? You have no heart!
iwe tc uk mambala we are not interested in nonsense do you hear me am sure you are from south london koswe you chav am warning you dont make me come from essex to come and whip you while you are wiping asses in the elderly homes.
Ponyax@ 96,please educate them, i also tried to inform the guessers. I have personally read the whole constitution.
May the soul of Dr. Patrick Levy Mwanawasa rest in peace. Mwanawasa had love for our country zambia and he had vision for our country. As Zambians lets remain calm and united at this period of morning our beloved president. May his soul rest in peace. Amen
My father died! thats what matters to me. Other deaths do not matter to me because he was not supposed to have died if the politians had improved medical facilities in zambia. so Dad, if you ever meet levy in the after life, tell him that you died because there was no doctor to attend to you in time!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zambians are hypocrites. Cabbage got all his relatives and gave them jobs at state house. Bakoswe we will see you get turned into imbeba one by one. Remeber this cabbage couldnt buy his mother a car…guess what she died in a mini bus fire. Like marriam i dont care about cabbage dead or alive i like steak. You cant fight corruption while practicing nepotism its one and the same thing. FTJ uwa mubikile pa chambaso asuka alwalila mo no mutima muku mupishanya…. Cabbage was not only ungratefull but evil.
What police IG has done to me and ms zambia is bad. Twafika pa plot 1 tuleimba nechimbo chamalilo temapi twafikilamo mwebantu. Na shake shake twachikwata yonse bakapokola bazampa. Twaya ku TEKA farm limbi balatupokelelako umutende.

May the lord give strength to the Mwanawasa family as they endure grief of their beloved Levy. He will be missed by all of us who have all along liked what he stood for as a president of our beloved country. Peace to all.

May God bless mother zambia and keep us in unity.May He grant strength to Mwanawasa family.MHSRIP
May the Lord receive President Mwanawasa’s soul. He was a great man who stood up for justice and showed concern for the masses of Zambians and Africa as a whole.
He deserves the credit that he was an exemplerary Leader perhaps the greatest Zambian and African Leader, tommorrow I will walk with my head high not cast down for the integrity that our president had when our vetran regional leaders were chickening out, he exposed the darkness in and outside the Country. Bravo Presido Bravo Zambia!
Ba His Leadership naimwe mulesalako na mashina ayamipalile. If you want that boocrap go start your own kantemba(blog) where you can praise cabbage. While here we will state the facts as they are without fear or favor. State house is full of kulibonesha ba taa. Are you telling me that only his relatives qualify to work @ SH? Do you know the job of Spy chief? Xavior did his job, he even rigged the elections for cabbage. He turns arround and throws him in jail and kills his wife. FTJ the one who anointed him has been in and out of court so many times he has developed heart problems. That is your heroe not mine. He will forever be remebered as a rotten cabbage.

May His Soul Rest In Peace
In death Mwanawasa is doing even greater things.
Iwey Ponyax chaba shani? Kwena naseka nembafu shakalipa… indeed I think I really needed this after the sorrow am feeling pali ba Levy
Ka Beebeo (comment # 1 and 2) you’re “I don’t know”- what kind of comments can u pass like that??? Plz be a human being and be reasonable enough on the media like this! Show a bit of being “umuntho”. its better you could have kept your ka mouth shut- plz keep all that nonsense to yourself- have respect for the dead- kakoswe iwe!!! Are u not ashamed of yourself especially that your comment is the first one??? I didn’t know we’ve such stupid Zambians. I don’t even want to know you- you’re such a shame to some of us.
President Dr. Levy Patrick Mwanawasa may your soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in Peace.
#1 and #2.May God have mercy on your soul and may he deliver you from any demonic oppression and hold no curse against you.I badly wanted to CUSS you out but i do not want to show my ignorance at a time like this when our nation is mourning.Condolences to President Mwanawasa’s family.

I mourn, we mourn, all those who stand for good, mourn. All those who stand for right, mourn. Zambia has been moving on a prosperous road led by the late Dr L Mwanawasa. His tenure was synonymous with the zambian economy improving, investor confidence rising. I was proud to say i am a Zambian. Dr Mwanawasa was Zambia’s gift from God. A respectable man all found him to be. His critics were confounded by his success. He was deemed as the most astute president in Southern Africa. May God give strength to his caring family. this is a loss which is better never than ever. MHSRIP.

Lets continue to pray for a peaceful transition. MHSRIP.Those of you making silly comments, remember evry dog has its day!
#137 Nikki what wrong have I done? Just because I am notg out loud it wa no a kiss ass does not mean I am “demonic” like you have put it.
Why did your beloved president get flown to France? You are on the net and chances are you are not in Zed. If your parents are still alive, wait until one of them gets diagnosed with a condition which can not be treated in Zed. That is when you will appreciate that we need to improve the health sector in Zed. He only suffered a BRAIN ATTACK and for cryin out loud. How many people have died in Zed of the same?
#140 ehh kabanda (young ghost) utekanye shikulu pa menso kwati chipato chaka kolwe are you his relative ulenkalifya umutima tawumwene at shikulu chiluba ali lwala umutima that is a serious issue infact its a matter of national importance which should be chaired in parliament

#142 ci muramo I was on about using caps lock. Yeah it is irritating you girl pants!
Its true good people dont live longer. Surely when we are slowly seeing the sweet fruits of Levy he can pass away today? Shame to Zambia. Even if some people were not able to read the future Levy had set, i could see it myself. He did not set it for himself but for the people to come after this generation. His ideas were long term that short sighted people could not see but fruitful and if he ruled this country long like KK did, Zambia would have been far much better than it is today. HE WAS GREAT.
MHSRIP
back to basics…the president did a good job with the economy; but his family members who got jobs through nepotism and failed to deliver need to go…Where shall we start scrutinising from? (rubbing fingers..)
1. Chibwa, High commissioner to the UK (good job or not)?
Can someone drop any other names and we can analyse them one at a time….
So…let’s start fom CHIBWA….alibomba bwino olo awe?
My condolences to the first family and the people of Zambia on the passing on of our great leader. We will miss his great deeds and leadership. I hope and pray that the next leadership will follow his steps and not those of TJF and co.
Immanuel
anonymous thank you for pointing out that shameless dog chibwa i didnt know him because ifi ndonsanya utuba sungu utwanakashi iam more important than him but anyway he has to go back to head rats at teka farm
Sad news for our Country Zambia and Africa. People who do not appreciate levy’s work are either thieves ( corrupt)or just not good for our country. I would rather have someone working with his honest relatives for the purpose of helping the country than one who is employing thieves to rob off the poor and the country’s future. May LPM’soul rest in peace. Godbless Zambia and its Citizens.
#150 Anonymous much is I do not like you, I have got to say the ***** you have talked about does not even deserve to be where he is now.

#150 Anonymous mush as I do not like you, I have got to say the ***** you have talked about does not even deserve to be where he is now.
This is sad, i knew the outcome but for now, the right thing to do is say. thank you Levy for doing the best you could do for Zambia, regardless of our differences, you were a patriotic Zambian and may Gob be with you family
Chi # 131. Cinci Wababili and Ka Essex, I get you that this might be a wrong forum for my suggestion. But your comments are way out of line. Be sober for once.

Has the members of the mwanawasa family give through this time of sorrow,all i would do is to pray for the and ask the lord almighty to be their great comforter and to give them a mind of understanding that it is only God who knows why he had to take him away from them.and it is written there is time for everytinng on on this earth.*eccl 3vs 1*.the lord has called him to be with him now.And may the people of zambia remain in peace at this time and pray for the lord to help them pick a leader who will help zambia rise.my his soul rest in peace
Just got this from the CNN in Canada;
President Bush also issued a statement mourning the loss of Mwanawasa, described by the U.S. leader as “a champion of democracy in his own country and throughout Africa.”
“As President of Zambia, President Mwanawasa launched a sweeping anti-corruption campaign and dedicated himself to improving the welfare of all Zambians,” according to the White House statement.

For those who feel BBC has not covered this sad news adequately, they’ve opened ‘a have your say’ thread for Mwanawasa on their website. We can complain there.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed profound sadness today after learning of the death of the President of Zambia, Levy Patrick Mwanawasa.
“Mr. Mwanawasa was at the forefront of Zambian politics at a time of exceptional challenge and change in his country,” Mr. Ban said in a statement issued by his spokesperson in which he offered condolences to the late President’s family, and the people and Government of Zambia
What was Ban Ki Moon referring to——->”The statement also noted Mr. Mwanawasa’s key role in the struggle to end apartheid in South Africa as well as his firm stance as Southern African Development Community (SADC) chairman on the post-election crisis in Zimbabwe”.
Mwanawasa and Apartheid….? tafilepanga sense

Serious question? UN secretary general
rest in peace father of zambia and the entire africa..he saved his president without fear or favor..he had put zambia’s interest first and africa …he died becuase of thinking of how he could save the children in the street of our towns in zambia..he lead by example .he taught those who worked with him a lesson of no favouretism ..his presence will be missed by all good loving zambian citizens..he died at a time when most zambian people wanted him for more years to rule..he had no friend at work
may his soul rest in peace

You are a coward who can not even come up with a screen name.
Was he your uncle? If not wait until your mother in the village gets diagnosed with a condition which can only be treated outside Zambia you girl pants. May not be long from now.

I have established one clear issue and the truth is you are retarded.Look at you contributions on the sports canclled.So you who you are because of your mental condition.hallow
So sad to hear the loss of our beloved President May he rest in peace. God will be with Zambia and the first family. Comments by # 1 and 2 are unafrican I hope you are hell bound.
Can someone fugure out what is going on between Losha and Essex Boy? They seem to have a heated conversation. I am available to mediate if they need me.
As a Zambian leaving in USA, me,my family and Zambians in Zambia and the rest of the world join in prayer for the family of our late president Levy Mwanawansa.
Very sad indeed but I am very pissed that the Government continued to lie to us that the President was stable, out of danger, recovering, etc.
I am very saddened about Mwanawasa’s death, I didnt really care about him as a president but I liked him as a person and I think its a great loss. I am especially sorry for his family and I can only hope and pray that they find comfort in God at a time like this.
Right now we should all just pray for peace in Zambia during this difficult time.
RIP.
#1,2 now listen i will give you a break.Some reasonable blogers asked you how much tax you payed last month(non).My pay as you earn is probably three times your pay.Its UN scale for your infomation.since you couldnt answer.Someone else advised you that preidential medical bills are covered by a free insurance policy.Now why do you you want to display your ignorance and retarded mind on this blog.Keep quite because be advised that what i will tell you next will send you to sleep.

The comments posted on this site should be for serious comments. I can not belive the bad comments coming on this site. I have always thought Zambian care for one another mostly in such times. Do not let the good grace of your country go down because for your hate for this great leader. May he truly rest in peace. I visited Zambia in 2004 I saw good things mostly from the kind zambian people, please have respect for one of the true sons of Africa.The owners of this site should delete those bad comments, they will divide your country.

The chap called Beebeo is working with agents from HELL, please do not respond to his useless comments.

Beeboe am on your side coz these people are crazy. Anyone that attacks you attacks me. They are the same Zambians that make Zed poorer becoz they are fake like LPM
Ba pastor #200 why r u in USA instead of zed saving lives? Wishing LPM sad msgs like he is hearing you?
May his soul rest in peace.May the Almighty God grant us wise,prudent and God-fearing leadership.

Nibu uule bwako. kaoneni,kuipa monga ni infwa yamene.Just because you are now looking bad because of sufering from Aids and you can’t prostitute to find money for rentals now you want to blame the LATE.
Leka abakaele baloshe iwe.
Just look at Beebeo and Lisa #1,2 and 222 disgaruntled gots.
Lisa it is a matter of principle. What I do not agree with is the fact that the president goes to die in a foreign land. Why did he not get flown to UTH?
Time the developed nations said no African leaders going to die in their countries!
Cheers babe! God I thought I was the only one with a brain. I was sad to see that pastor from the States. Crikey!
Kaunda brought independance and national economic development, Chiluba brought democracy and economic freedom, Mwanawasa brought economic growth and justice and the rule of law. He will be remembered as a great leader.
MHSRIP, we will surely never arase his foot prints. For those of you who are Kafupi’s or Saviou’s son’s or nephews, mwanya bakoswe imwe, you will continue staying where ever you are washing copses or working in restraunts because the cases against your uncles shall continue. You shall continue to be taunted by the memories of huge chunks of cash handed out from your corrupt uncles that you wasted. I have not forgotten how some Kaponya told me that my 5 years at UNZA was a waste of time when Kafupi was in power.
#222 Lisa you are so ugly such that you caused your mother to divorce your father because she cpouldnt believe the object in the name of Lisa was her daughter.Your father also couldnt afford to look at you twice and he commited sucide.

#226 Any chance you will chill?
I am sorry if you are one of those who are going to get back to Zed because the next president will appoint his relative in your position.
Lusaka times,do u have any moderators for your blog? Bloggers,as much as freedom of speech is allowed,lets not abuse it! Haters create a site for yourselves where you can insult each other. For now, allow Zambians to mourn their Presido with dignity! Let LPM-rest in peace.
Peace loving Zambians, Can we spare each other from shameful attacks on this blog. Every man has their own shortfalls and failures (including most of us participating on this blog). It would be unfair to start attacking LPM, who can no longer defend him self at the moment-looks hash during this period of grief and sorrow. I would love if we could all look at him as human as he was and his sacrifices for the country, starting from time in Kaunda era up to his death. I think he deserves much more than the yucky stuff we are posting on this blog. Fellow Zambians, let’s appreciate each other even when we have different opinions- remember we are one Zambia and one nation.
Condelences to the nation, please mourn our leader in peace remember good people go early was the case here. I envyed Dr. Mwanawasa a leader with a vision for our country. May his soul rest in peace, God bless Zambia and Africa.
232 and 233 Okay because of you I rest my case,but If Lisa and her disgruntled brother say something negative I will attack.So peace keepers ask them to step douwn.I’m a marine i dont go douwn without a fight. I loved Levy.Even in death he has gone down a worrior.
Who wants my job?
People had better be in internet cafe’s because we are now tracing your IP addresses. Mind what you say on the blog. Take this as a 1st warning
#235. Love your good Zambian attitude to change and love for peace. Wish you well.

I dont give a hoot to LPM’s passing if that the road u want go aheard and fly around until u cant say JET LAG any more, have a wife fly you around until u add 300 kgs, employ all your relatives and book out in France and be forgotten in 7 days.
Watch all the tuma companies send sad msg muma papers like LPM can read them
This here “The Blog” is true democracy!!! I hope one you guys will make it to become a Leader. Sometimes talk is cheap. Let the dead burry the dead.

To the first lady, the first family and all the people of Zambia. We are mourning together in this loss though it was known but death is death whether sudden or not. Mwanawasa was a father of the nation and let us mourn him as we would mourn our own parent.My prayer is that God will replace him with a leader who has not been known to all of us and that will change Zambian’s destiny to a christian and prosperous lovely country.Mwalosheni mukwai..

Sad to see Zambian ignorance is alive and well on this blog.
When people die, the human thing to do is mourn, sympathise or empathise. LPM was one of us. He was a human being first, then President. For this reason, we should put our differences on the shelf somewhere and think of his family first and Zambia in general. However, the world goes on…but LPM deserves the respect as a human being. It could be you tommorrow. Think before you post something on here. May the father, husband, President etc. rest in peace. We will miss LPM’s intellect whether for or against. Be sensible!!

1, 2 and 268. Clearly you are fools living abroad you need wisdom before you open your useless mouths, you are a shame to the Zambian people please have a heart at this turmoil you need to grow or shut up. May the Good Lord cover be with the family and the entire nation in this time of turmoil. Amen
What a lose to Zambia, Mwanawasa was a great leader Zambia has ever seen. His exhibited his passion and advocacy for the voiceless. he empowered many and he made sure that the rule of rule was observed. May his soul rest in eternal peace. We will greatly mis you bro.
My LPS’ soul rest in peace.I wished he had taken over the reigns of power when Dr Kaunda lost. By now this country would have been miles.
Lets now be thinking of specialised burial sites for both our liberation heroes and contemporary patriots like LPM who have made huge contributions to our country. Its a pity our heroes are buried all over the country.
I am really disappointed with some of your comments and they have indeed moved us from the core of this subject. Rest in Peace my President. I hope someone can buy me a ticket to come home for the funeral, its Melbourne – Jo’burg – Lsk
#107 (Beebeo), you lack sound reasoning. Had LPM died in UTH, you would have been the same chap condemning GRZ for not flying him to a better Hospital. Don’t forget that LPM was first admitted to an Egyptian hospital. Despite the Great Egyptian medical facilities and expertise, they couldn’t handle LPM’s condition. What you are demanding is for Zambia to be better than Egypt and France in a few years! How unrealistic. UTH is improving but you can’t expect to beat France within a few years.
Also allow this fact to sink into your head. The president of any country can’t be treated the same way as an ordinary person. Just look at what has happened to the Kwacha upon report of LPM’s death.
Just picked this piece from Zambia online’s Dear Mr.President forum in entry # 5751.Levy will be buried in Lusaka east’s palabana site.
Name: Bwembya | Country of residence: Zambia | Written: Wednesday, 20 August 2008 (00:29) 5751
President Mwanawasa’s body will be buried in Palabana, east of Lusaka.
Cont..
The body will leave Paris, France for Lusaka this coming Saturday August 23, 2008 for burial next Tuesday August 26th in Palabana east of Lusaka. Arrangements for a state funeral are ongoing during the seven days of mourning we have entered as a country.
Cabinet has met in Lusaka and has respectively agreed state announcements bordering the death of president Mwanawasa. In accordance with the constitutional options procedure will follow at every level. His Honor VP Banda is now acting President and President Elections must be held within 90 days from today.

Zambians mourning their President are the custodian of sustainable peace. Together we treasure it and should continue do so. Democracy will hold and peace given every priority.
If you are in the EU, you could go to Paris France (place to be shared) and pay your last respect to our dear President’s body on Saturday August 23,2008. Attendance of burial in palabana.He has been a President for all Zambians.
Ba Beeboe, I think you have to remove the which has engulfed your brain because it’s you getting your comments from a baseless think tank. *****!
REST IN PEACE
Ba Beeboe, I think you have to remove the dust which has engulfed your brain because it’s like you are getting your coments from a baseless think tank. *****!
Beeboe ##269/70, what an *****!!!
REST IN PEACE BA LEVY MWANAWASA !
may his soul rest in peace and God bless his family…just to mention a couple, Chipo and Mutinta Chisunka……sorry mates about this loss. But know that the pain is not only to you but to all sensible Zambians…not these *****s tring to hurt your fellings even more (#1 & 2).
So who is the sucsesor….definatly not Sata……
yayayaya
Commentors #1 & #2 are assholes, they don`t have sense of human and are inhuman. They are lunatics creatuers of 21st century. I loved Levy and may his soul rest in peace.
Please leave 1 and 2 alone, they are on a different planet. LPM died a long time ago and RB, Mpombo and I mourned a long time ago. RIP ba Mwisho.
#220 (Lisa), the sooner you understand this, the better. No president will ever do anything for you as an individual . Get up and work! selfish one. Your even have the energy & time to harbour biterness? Some of you chaps are unbelievable.
# 286,
I see an Algerian option taking precedence if stakes are proved high. It takes wise diplomatic salesmanship sold to regional Governments, international community and the donor dependent civil society who go by the interest of cooperating partners.Sata is an ally of Bob widely feared as a potential axis of Bob’s evil Veteran politics not ideal to our time.The region is burrying the reberation era politics.Besides that, he has a rotten heart too susceptible to burst under pressure.Another bye election? no ways.He is not a unifier or democrat or crusader of anti grafti.Algerian option could prepare the way for national unity.Its tough to pacify 73 tribes we’ve been pretending united.
Change of Government or not, the outcome is never a panacea to your personal failures.MMD may retain power or another party, but if you are the clueless one, bitterness may even get worse. Vindicate these warnings.But if the worse takes precedence God forbid, the poor househoods may even suffer the more.Most of you come from dangerously vulnerable families without options in the hell you have been just watching on cable channels.
Let this be a lesson to all: When we critisize each other in politics, we should acknowledge what a person has done well. This is the unwritten rule in politics in American for example and even in our Zambian age-old traditions. There is a tendency in our politics to say “he is good” or “he is bad”. When a person dies, therefore, many people are seen to be saying something good about someone for the first time. Some people who now say Levy is a great loss never had a single good word to say about him. Ba kabwa mwebo!
I FEEL THE 7 DAYS THEY HAVE GIVEN AS NATIONAL MOURNING IS NOT ENOUGH FOR SUCH A LEADER. CAN’T THEY INCREASE TO 2 OR 3 WEEKS? WE LOVE YOU LPM. MHSRIP.
Stop sending sad msgs coz LPM cannot hear them ever!!!!
All relations to LPM working ku ma Missions pack your bags yall coz Zambia kuya soon. All the haters on anti-LPM get a life. This is free speech which part of free dont you understand F-R-E- or the E son?

I really wonder what LPM did for you? Oh I forgot he got you the job in Govt, financed your school in Russia or is it made you leave Zed to go abroad coz Zambia has no jobs for you?
MISSIONS ABROAD START PACKING
Beeboe WHERE ARE YOU MY BROTHER? I AM JOINING YOUR FORCE TOO
ZNBC TV still taking a snooze. MUVI TV has already updated their web page. While ZNBC still has old news on their page. Why are you people still paying TV Licenses.
I dont live in Zambia but Iam really touched by the loss of our president. the vibes that I have been looking at from outside were really good for the country. Let us pray for another good leader.
Iwe ka Janet who cares if you are in the USA? Ati vibes “I have been looking at..” You hear vibes and not see them.
Comments 1 and 2, mwendoshi mwe. If you have finished killing and eating your own children, this is not the platform to exhibit your witchcraft. Stupid and ***** undeducated foolish people. The nation is in a state of mourning and you chaps (1 and 2 comments) are busy sharpening your teeth to eat more human flesh. When you die your bodies wont be burried but would be eaten and defiled by dogs and vultures.
#302. Ala you can’t believe how certain people think. #1 & #2 I don’t think you are normal person. #302 HAS DESCRIBED YOU VERY WELL.
He represented Zambia with heart and worked hard to make sure plunderes especially in government get what they deserve.May your soul rest in peace LPM.
305. I would like to condole the first family on their loss. As a Zambian living outside the country I have noted a lot of good vibes on the sound leadership of the late president. Zambians let us pray for another good leader
306. You can say what you that is your problem
As we mourn as a nation and as Zambians MHSRIP.
MYSRIP MWALIBOMBA BA LPM.

Great loss indeed,we mourn,mourn and mourn for you Ba mudala.You were such a role model.MYSRIP.One Zambia one nation.
so sad lets all unit in Jesus name. lets keep the faith of Jesus
Dr. Mwanawasa Rest In Peace. We shall deeply miss you. You are such a great leader who will never be forgotten by the majority Zambians for your fight against corruption and reducing poverty. To the first family, especially to the wife Maureen, this is the time to be strong in prayers and leave everything in God’s hands. For us Zambians lets remain united as we mourn our great leader and lets show the world that we are really Zambians who believe in ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION.
Nowonder they say that the greatest hypocricy is seen at a funeral. Condolences to the berieved family.
Ba Levy we will miss you. You really did your part very well.
There is time for everything. Time is up for our LPM. we should all be reminded that we shall all pass through this and therefore live clean lives so that when we are called to sleep we shall be in Gods hands. MHSRIP
it is really sad to hear of the death of our president,whether we agreed with his polices or not we are all a part of the country called Zambia that has lost their leader.
i personally think Mr Mwanawasa tried hard to put our country on the world map and improve the economy of our country,even though we are free to express our views,i guess this is no time to expose our mediocre minds,
what has zambia become?a nation of professional insult spitting young men and women?indeed it is a shame.
woe to whoever speaks ill of the dead,esp if it is only to be heard coz of nothing intelligent to say,SHAME.
Lastly i wish to convey my heartfelt condolonces to the first family and Zambia as a nation.
Mugabe ni Ndoshi
this ia Sad NEWS ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE READING luSAKA TIMES AND THE FIRST COMMENTS NUMERO UNO 1 POSTS SOMETHING STUPID AND DISGUSTING…BANE SOMETIMES MWAKULAKO PLZZZ
MHSRIP but i still dont think he was a great leader. 80% of Zambians still leave in abject poverty. If anything, he goes down as a leader that failed to take advantage of the rising copper prices and rebuild a Zambia with reduced poverty levels. A great leader is one who will come and revamp the Zambaian industry and create jobs for the jobless 60% plus Zambians. I appreciate his effort to fight corruption but his fight plan was all wrong hence he got knocked out!!!! You can’t fight corruption without first giving people a proper livelihood. Lets be honnest here……for Zambia to get back on track, we need our industries runnig. For now, Zambia remains a big super market………………..
My sincere Condolences to the berieved family.
ZEDIANs let unite during the mourning period.One Zambia one nation
324 Muntu – I say amen to your comments… Zambians we always want to turn people into saints when they die. He was no saint – he was also a shameless nepotist – I ran into Shakafuswa yesterday – seconds before he got the news of his Uncle’s passing and as usual, he was as smug as a fat cat. Need I say more??
Farewell Levy – your time was up
Zambians are the worst bunch of cowards there’ll ever be. The person who has died is the same one you where busy insulting a few hours ago, and now that he is dead all the bad things have u-turned into praises! What crap! This is why even people who where known for leading promiscuous life styles get saint-like praises on their burial date. Some dies of HIV/AIDS and you say Pneumonia. Why bit about the bush? Learn to ‘call a spade a spade’, dead or alive because it don’t make no difference.
Am shocked at some of the comments, This man changed our lives and at the moment Zambia is the best country to live in. For those who are in diaspora, you’ll be shocked that even people who have never been to school are travelling to china, dubai, etc and bringing and clearing all sorts of containers, while some of you ‘know it alls are busy washing dishes, facing xenophobia on a daily basis.
MUZAMAYE MU YO PUMULA MWA KOOZO YA MULENA MULIMU. WE SHALL MISS YOU YOU BO MUTOMPEHI MWANAWASA!!
Thank you afrocentric…………you needn’t say more!!!!!
It is a great loss to the Nation as a whole. Indeed this is a trying moment in Zambia. we are experiencing the loss at a crucial moment in our development. MHSRIP
Please this is mourning time, mwilalemba ifyatupa.
331, you call going to China and coming back with sub standard goods from China and Dubai ‘a positive change’ in your poverty stricken home? And please for once leave out those in the diaspora! Just because your relative is a bum-cleaner does not catter for everyone.
#331…………what benefits do those imports from china and dubbai bring to our country????? c’mon man, we need to produce exports for us to thrive economically. What we need are industries like i said earlier or we remain a big super market that we are. Think you so called patriotic zambia think!!!!!!
The problem with you all is that you are pretends. Discover yourselves.
thanx njooka……this man ‘patriotic zambian’ has no brains and it’s such characters that are making zambia go in deeper crisis. imagine him becoming president…..God forbid!!!!!
Levy you will always be remembered for your undivided courage to fight for the betterment of the lives of the common man. This was seen in your decision to face head-on all the economic plunderers in our country. On my part i pray that you rest in peace.
Njooka mwati unafelewapo,thats why ndiwe njooka and a big poisonous one even the devil would be shocked to hear your statement.Suutasha
Zambians lets mourn our President in peace.Lets not use offensive language.LPM was a great leader & will surely be missed.MHSRIP.
1 and 2 please lean to respect the dead this is not the time to think of riches these are the people who start sharing property b4 the dead are even buried learn to have manners this is a very touching week for zambians who really loved their leader he was a father of all grow up 1 and 2
#324 muntu. utasha ngakalimwitobo iwe.Levy was a great leader who died fighting not only for Zambia for but the whole sadc region as well.No matter what your feelings are that will not change the great job this man did for Zambia.Before levy (Chiluba’s reign) there was division and hatred in the country but levy managed to bring us together.Investors had confidence to bring thier money in Zambia because of his good and sound economic policies he had.He showed good and examplary leadership qualities and he refused to be popular just to please people by playing politiks.Balevy you were great.Ahuman being is never 100% perfect but he tried very very very much.
Go well Ba levy with you it is fi
Tribalism
when a person dies, everyone speak good about them. shame on you hypocrytes.
now LPM is a darling and only talk good things…there is the other side
akulosheni
he is not first one to die
#338 muntu ndimwe bamane mumapa ya,why behave like a devil.have seen that devil is your father together with ci njooka (m’bombo)
#343 your opinion my friend……your opinion. i doubt if thats the opinion of many! i will not go into argument with you because the evidence is there for all to see……Zambia is as poor as ever and will remain so for as long as unrealistic characters like you continue to florish and exist! I rest my case.
tribalist and neoptism
levy patrick mwanawasa rest in peace we will definetely miss your services in zambia,condolences to the first family and the entire nation of zambia
God gives and God Takes, Dear Lord we count it all joy even in a moment like this one when you have deemed it fit to take away LPM. You who through moses lead your great people out of captivity to the promised land, we are not captives and I know you will lead us through this land till you provide us with a capable leader.
May you name be gloried now and forever more.
LPM mysrip.
Guys, 1 & 2’s the same *****…..I can’t believe in this time and age we could still have such petty and vindictive imbeciles as this moron…..How dare he brings up such an off-key issue at this moment of national loss. May Levy’s soul rest in peace.
May the good Lord be with our dear President. He may have done wrong things but good was above bad. he kept peace and showed true zambian charisma. I, with my family, will miss you Levy. Rest in eternal peace.
Continued from 343.Go well ba levy.With him it is finished and no matter what we say he will not listen but its up to you and me to decide whom we will serve and we want people to remember us our time up on this planet earth.Once Zedians what has made us Zambians is not KK,FTJ nor LPM but the one Zambia one nation.We stand united strong and love we will pull through with God’s guidance no is impossible.To our leaders the message is whoever want to take over levy’s mantle should deny him/herself and put Zambia first before self and family.The Children of Isreal mourned Moses for 40 days and humbled themselves B4 God & he gave them Joshua.
#343 you are so dull. when did anglo pull out. just when levy came into power. they knew nothing will materialised, what has levy done. we have spent so much money on chiluba’s case and he has died without even getting closer to arresting him. For your records Boreen will go as the most unpopular first lady in the Zambian history. Kaunda told her not to let levy stand but because of greedy she could not listern. as for me levy did nothing, Lusaka grew to big a big shuntcompound under levy. sorry though they say good things always died with us but for levy. i cant seen any good thing apart from him bring Indians to run down the mines
Wish to convey heartfelt condolences to the first family and Zambia as a whole on untimely death of our Republican President.May our Father in Heaven be with zambia.E.MS
Number 255 you are HIV/AIDS incompetent. Please do not associate people suffering from AIDS with prostitution. For your own information most of them expecially women are just victms because of their vulnarability. Do you know your status youself. Go for VCT first then you will understand. Ko baleka bachiswa AIDS mbantu mbuli nduwe abalo.
Many bloggers have asked where the house of mourning is and i dont see any answer. Can someone clarify. And what happens to household items in state house? Kuli ukusampa or what?
Rest in peace LPM,may God continue guiding the first family,friends and the entire nation.
undi undi undi……how many times did i call you? think again my friend. am only being real here. am equally sad that the man has died. death is no good to befall anyone…….but we talking the economy of zed and how best it can be improved. if someone failed, they should be critised / condemed whether dead or alive. the man failed in his duties and that just the way it is. do not be fooled my friend.
After how long should we have Presidential by Elections is it 90 days or 6 months? What does the constitution say?
This is the problem with the LT set up – no censorship
The insults are mostly from non Zambians Masquerading as Zambians.
They obviuosly have some connection to Zambia but very clearly aiming to bring disrepute.
Be vigilant the devil would devour those who slack
For the time being Ignore the insults and rest your hearts on the one who is able to comfort the broken hearted.
LPM, like Mmembe would say “Hard to love but when you know him,he is hard to let go” . Ba tata ba Chipo, i voted for you,i asked God before i could vote and with obedience from God i voted for you though i didnt feel like and as years passedby i came to appreciate my vote. You are my Hero Jesus gave me to vote for and lead my beloved Zambia. In all these, God knows why it had to be at this hour when we needed you more. RIP ba tata, bayama, bashikulu, bakateka….. I have read part of a prayer you prayed in today`s post 20/08/08 editorial comment. Ba Mwanawasa you meant well for Zambia and Africa!!
A great loss indeed. one question though; Do weddings take place during the National Mourning of a Sitting President?
|Has anybody been able to find an official statement from the SADC chair, Thabo Mbeki? I found a few fro the African Union and other African leaders. Not expecting much from Mugabe
just a suggestion can the body ly in state for a day in each of the provincial headquarters of zambia,maeaning the mourning should extend from 7 days to 10 days to afford all citizens an opportunity to pay their last respect
Its really sad that HIs Excellence has passed on especially on his family. Am with you guys especially the children, you were not like ka Castro and yes am feeling for you. On the other hand, to the bootlickers I say too bad for you. Am sure people like Mulongoti are busy scheming undergroung to secure their futures. Yes let the great man be mourned in dignity, but i guess the only people with dignity are us the common zambians not people like Katele and co.While all agree that there is a dark cloud cast over Zambia; I believe we all know that every dark cloud has a silver lining, lets also look at what good will come out of this. This is the time to think of who we should be picking as pres
lets all get united and fight the injust of the remaining Movement for Mad Dogs that wants to plander our resources in their association with the Chines.
I thought I never like LPM. I was wrong. My heart is bleeding and I can feel the emptyness in the coners of me. His death gives me a sense of belonging and just how much am ATTACHED to him. MHSRIP
R.I.P LPM you did your best and were the best!!! We Love You!
Its a pity that we have lost the president.Please rest in peace and may the lord bless and comfort the mwanawasas. during this trying period.
Those addressing LPM in your ‘mhsrip’ cliche’, are you sure he can read your postings? Or someone will tell him that now you are being good to him? Wake up. The moment someone dies he/she is ‘unconscious’ of a thing. You are wasting your time. You’d better address your hypocrisy to the family.
Lets scrutinize all potential guys and see that we come up with a president who will carry on from where Mwanawasa stopped. I am wondering what will become of the New Deal MMD.Can someone update me on comments from Kaande and his team ?RIP Your Excellence
Its so sad that you’ve gone at the time when we really wanted you to continue even with the NCC in progress…LPM,we shall greatly miss you.you sacrificed alot for your nation and served it even when your health was failing you.May God help Zambia to get another seriopus and spotless leader.All Zambians and LPM’s family,let’s stay united and God will make a way!
Zambian’s let us just mourn bamudala in harmony.MYSRIP
Thank you Lord for giving us LPM. Thank you for taking him at this time. Who are we to question you. You gave us and you have taken. Our prayer now is that you give us another Leader of your choice. Rest in peace LPM.
To the first lady and family, you are in my prayers……
May God be with you during this trying time….
Lawyer wa ma lawyer, constitutional fundi, icibumba wakashimya mulilo muadala shi Chipo. MYSRIP.
Can you stop blaming God for this lose. My God is not cruel and does not like seeing people mourning. I can give you a lecture on why people die if you need one. 376 your ‘god’ must be a suicide bomber.

August 19, 2008
I want to express my deepest sympathy for the untimely death of Zambian President Levy Patrick Mwanawasa. I extend my sincere condolences to his family and to all Zambians during this time of loss.
President Mwanawasa’s passing is a great loss for Zambia and Africa. He served his country well at the highest levels of government for many years and was a trusted and key partner of the United States in the region. His spirited leadership of the Southern African Development Community over the past year was critical to that organization’s efforts to address the crisis in Zimbabwe. President Mwanawasa was also a
Much as i did not like levy but for the sake of his family and zedians pipo at large and reading the muddy of the country i wouldnt speak ill of him and his dead body!
Well ladies and gentlemen, honestly speaking in all fairness, even if you never liked our late President, the comments posted should have been kept to yourselves, God is watching you and at an appointed time he will act accordingly. Let all peace loving Zambians continue with their Godly conduct and mourn our president with honour and dignity!!!!!!!!!!
MHSRIP!
Hey, strong sentiments coming from the pipo that eat from Chilubas’ table and that of his operative, Xaivier Chungu…..
ha ha ha ha even saying that Chungu will be back soon!
Those that benefitted from LPM are now looking behind their backs so that they can rip our country clean of whatever monies, contracts and who knows what else they could be getting during this period because they know that the end is surely near.
Warning to Ministers! DO not do anything stupid, We are watching!
Muntu you have a mind of a human,i love that but your heart…look my my freind a person might have failed you in some ways obviasly you wanted him bringing food directly to you,lets wait and see choose your next leader will see he will do that.oh i almost forgot,your herts like a snake
pafwa bantu pashala bantu. who should be next guys?
imilimo yafula iyashala ukwabula ukupwa?
CABIPA.
Too SAD for LPM, But Wake up Zambians,Criminals who fled the
country like X Chungu,Shashonga might sneak back,Plunderers and a Tandem of thieves have teamed up again.There finding ways of quashing there cases and hijack Govt machinery in order to loot the treasury,sighting windfall tax money from the mines K255 Billion,ZRA border collections at chirundu alone K110 Billion,Nakonde 105 Billion a month.
It’s up to Zambians to be more Vigilant this time around,or else poverty will be on top of there living standard.
My condolences to the first family may God be their comforter in the person of the Holy Spirit and also with all the Zambians in Zambian and diaspora.There is no need for us to be finding out as to how much was spend on Mwanawasa and on what.May the intelligence keep it as classified.Unless the government feels its the right thing to do.I was asked this morning by people from a western country how Mwanawasa was i said “he was a man of Justice and democracy” and that is true.He was a great man a great leader,for zambia,Sadc,in africa and the world.I will deeply miss this man.May God accept him in the heavenly kingdom.And may his soul Rest in peace.May a public Holiday be made in his memory.
How bad indeed
#1, 2, 90, 94, 124 u r all devils and yo deaths will be shameful u *****s. how do u just keep grudges on someone dead honestly? r u human, were u born or u just found yoselves among human beings, u lucifers. change and learn 2 forgive, if God forgives u what r u not 2 forgive and forget? Get serious u frustrated bunch of fools.. we have all lost loved ones but imfa siijailika, thats y its death. muzi kula bane. #268 thanks for that, God bless u….
May I register my deepest grief on the Loss of dearest President. Fellow Zambians lets mourn our president with due respect.He proved his love for this country -believe or not.
RIP LPM and may God continue guiding the first family
Mbaala manje zyakondwela, but be assured we shall follow you for stealing the wealth of Zambia. You are not free to be safe. You are in the glass house and seen by all…No presidential ambitions for you baka walala
Cont.He also brought about development at a fast rate.Made Zambia an attrative place for investment.Its Good he also brought the Chineese as these are all over the world taking development.Most countries boasting of manufacturing and other issues of industralisation including U.S.A and Australia its the chineese.Even when you look at products even if its designed in that country its written made in China.That was were it was made.Lets not chase them but embrace what Levy left.Working conditions are to be improved by government regulations.I say this bcause every Zambian is also thinking and concerned as who will be our next leader.As we did not anticipate this we hoped Levy finished his term
we lost a great lader and may he rest in peace.i hope and pray that they will be peace in ma beloved ZAMBIA.God bless our nation and Africa.
#2 you an *****
Njooka what’s your religoin iyi,let me guess you must be satanist right?i aimost forgot,ndiwe mwamuna olomukazi in enlish are what sex are you
#369
My dear that feeling in you is all about a real human having a real human feeling and i hope that many pipo should that kind of feeling.
#373 you are being very much realistic and i upload you.lets not run away from facts fellow zambians,the least we can do is to show empathy (inkumbu) during the national mourning period.
lets just give it a week as stated by RB and we will see if pipo claiming to be deeply griefed by LPM death realy were.
were is the so called mulongoti and mpombo?why are the dual silent now?oh it was because they never spoke the truth about the late.the truth shall always stand and at this moment its only our GOD who knows who will next lead our beloved zambia.
I see a mature Zambia mourning its Leader in peace,taking him to his grave with honour,rising up to the challenge to hold free and fair elections to ursher in a New Govt.
Zambians, this we shall achieve!!
Viva Zambia!!
you quacks who are sending pre-mature texts,do u v hearts? u r just showing hw uncourageous u r. tetimufweko insoni kwena? if u where choosen to rule this country, can u even much to what levy did? thats pure unproffessional critism u r potraying. natuchinje ba zed.
As we morn, we also know for Sure that Came 19th November ,2008 we shall be going into another election. We need a new President and that will be HH , am sorry to say this is reality and if we need to have focus. VIVA HH FOR NOW
Lessons from mwanawasa is he stoond for what he did , yes he had his weaknesses but at least we can be proud of his rule.
undi……….you are a wise man from the east. keep it up. but not be fooled, am only going by the say that ‘ do not argue with fools or people might not …………………….
VIVA Levy for his time and God Bless his family. No grabbing of Property??????
Beebeo you re an evil double tongued bastard.
I wish to convey my heart felt condolences to the First Lady and Family during these difficult times. MHSRIP.
Those asking as to the were abouts the funeral may be.Try the state house he was a leader for Zambia that is where it has to be.But if you want to attend the funeral the burial would be the place you should go as security is slightly reduced for that sake.So wait for the day of burial.
Its a sad time for the whole nation, and its at this time as a christian nation we should unite in praying to God for strength and wisdom. My sincere condolences to the first family and to my fellow zambians. May God be with us in our time of sorrow. May the soul of our departed father rest in eternal peace. RIP SC.
Awe Chankalipa ba levy..
Chabipasana ichichintu ba levy.
We were so expectant that one day you will come back and lead our nation but the worst has happened.
May God help Mother Zambia.
Too bad,
MYSRIP.
God have mercy on numbers 1 & 2. And i pray that you repent before its too late.Anyway,tebonse bakumanina,mwebamo twalisokoka.
Sorry for the loss of your president. He have stopped the latest controversial pay raise I believe. Now let’s wait for the decision of Rupiah Banda. A lot of people are hoping he will not sign the bill.
Please read: He would have stopped…
Maureen never advised the big man like a wife,,shes to blame for wat has happened,,shame on her
Mwanawasa was a great leader,he has done a lot for the development of this country.So lets mourn him peacefully.
may his soul rest in eternal peace
MHSRIP
# 40 Hola even bbc covered Levy’s passing on as a main news item, I watched it in the evening tuesday 19:00 hours Zambian time
Kaunda No judgement
Chiluba London judgement
Mwanawasa Paris judgement.
THE ACTUAL FUNERAL FOR LEVY WILL STARTS START AFTER BURRIAL, AFTER ALL MOUNERS ARE GONE BACK TO THIER BASES, AND WHEN THERE WILL BE NO ONE TO CONSOLE US AS ZAMBIANS, LET ALONE THE MWANAWASA FAMILY
people talk about him being a shameless nepotist, about how he cost us thousands in his illness. despite all this he was a leader appointed by God himself. more over for those who think death is far removed from them think again!!! it is appointed for man to die there after judgement. so if by some illogical thought you feel you are on a better level from levy think again.
on behalf of all the chelsea fans in zambia we wish to convey our heartfelt condolence to the first family may the good lord guide and give you strenth during this trying moment u are not alone as we are also mourning and we will continue praying for you,may the soul of hon mwanawasa rest in eternal peace we will greatly miss your leadership.rest in peace .chelsea fans
A loss of this maginitude has never happened to our country. We should seek God’s guidance during this tragic moment. Our beloved president has died when the country needed him most. the economy had started showing signs of improvement, investor confidence gained, toursim boom just to name but a few. Now he is no more.
He was a great leader, whom all his predecessors should emulate.
Lets morn him in peace. Condolences to the first family.
May His Soul Rest in eternal peace
Leave Maureen out of all this, Levy had his own mind and it was him we elected not Maureen. The poor girl is today a widow and its just plain tasteless for any one with a reasonable dose of humility to start smearing her with such filth even when the man’s remains arrive in the country he called home and led. I just hope that Chiluba’s goon of thieves realise that whoever comes after Levy, there will be no return to that culture of stealing that proved terribly injurious to all manner of the fabric and soul of this nation.

LPM is now gone… MHSRIP
Now, which way forward?
Is it right that Zambia could be temporary governed during periods of heighted tension by a personal appointee of the late President? Those that value the right to vote may not agree. Incidentally Rupiah Banda apparently suffers from complicated issues, including the fact that he was not born in Zambia and questions over his descent etc. Its unclear whether he would even qualify to stand for elections
Can you all listen to Sata on Radio Phoenix 89.5FM. If the man is touched, why can’t the rest of you feel sympathetic for the Mwanawasa family? He did what he could, and some liked him for that, while others did not. He wasn’t a saint but a fellow sinner who did things for the people of Zambia. Let’s stay united and hope for the best as we anticipate transitory change of leadership. Let’s not take things for granted, we have seen what has happened to countries like Rwanda, Mozambique & Israel. Let’s be prayerful to the Almighty because the consequences will only be felt by Zambians. We have been laughing at Zim, but if we take things 4 granted, we might be worse than Zim. MHSRIP
Very saddened by the death of Levy. Every one of us should ask ourselves the question “are we ready”? The dead are gone and we are still alive; let us be ready and accept Christ. We mourn with the First family and the entire Zambian/African continent for a man who lived with us as a father. MHSRIP. To our politicians lets unite and work together to put that man that God has destined for the Nation. ITS NOT OVER UNTIL GOD SAYS ITS OVER
MHSRIP. comfort is all that should embrace his family.
hopefully who ever ‘s going to take over will cont. digging deeper into Chiluba’s cases. that short man is the seed of some of these troubles on the Zambian land.
# 409 What practicle evidence can you put forward to show that the fist lady has contributed to the death of our beloved president. Be care full with statements you issue.
rest in iternal peace my man and may god forgive those ripping the peoples’ tax
So tuka voter lisa……….ni after 6 months or 3 months. How long will RB be acting 3 or 6 months pantu he has been atctin for 7 weeks already
On behalf of the zambian Gay fraternity i would love to convey our deepest sympathy to the first family and zambia at large, let us mourn the father of the nation with the zanbian spirit of humanity and respect, Ba Lesa mukulu Ba mipale.
#409 the wife could have done whatever but LPM is also to blame because all those that said he should stand aside after 2006, he looked at them as sata’s agents.
People are free to express their opinions on this forum including #1/#2 and they should not be admonished for doing so. #1/#2 raises an important question. As a tax payer, one has the right to know how the expenses will be settled. Will France pay? These are issued that need to be addressed in the constitution regarding hospitalisation of office bearers, otherwise we’ll continue lagging behind in development as long as there is an unaccounted for deep pot of money. May be judged according to how he lived his life on earth.
Please guys, keep in mind that blogs like this one are meant to be educative and pool people’s opinions on a given topic. It’s sad that some lacklustre individuals are trying hard to attract the attention of other bloggers by posting less than decent comments on the blog. LET’S IGNORE SUCH INDIVIDUALS – God did not see it fit to apportion all individuals with a sense of civility and timing.
Abanamayo naba kake ifitenge nd the men are looking 4 firewood but bushe ichililo chili kwisa?
the silence from the Cabinet Office is too much. at least they could have siad something by now concerning the funeral arrangements. we need for instance to kow whether they shall be public holidays during this period.all these issues need to be clarified. where is the burrial going to be
Ankale mumu payeh, azauka. Ankale mumu payeh, azauka. Ankale mumu payeh, azaaaaaauka.
May his soul rest in peace and lets all pray that these greedy politicians change their minds on increasing their salaries if they dont want civil unrest.
People, is #220 anything similar to a HUMAN BEING? I doubt it, check the s*****’z disssssssssssssss!!!!!
MYSRIP president LPM sc.our great nation of zambia will surely miss you but you will always remain in our history.
Do I sense in-fighting already? The President is not yet buried and already the article (para 25) refers to the VP as “Acting Vice President”. What shameful vanity.
Let us have a decent mourning period please……. before the vultures and hyenas take over.
I don’t think a time of mourning should be a time of “dark sorrowful sadness” but a time to celebrate the life and dearth(existence) of the individual in question….. I have warned my people that, I will haunt them for the rest of their lives if they do that when mourning me.
I love Levy for what he uniquely did for our country which no president before him did and for that I sincerely salute him.
My his Honorary Soul Rest in Peace
Tbway, I forgive your sexist comments and your ignorance.
I’m sorry for those who don’t seem to realise that this is a mourning site where all Zambians paying theifr last respects to our deceased president. None of them would stand and say the things they’re writing in the funeral procession in Zambia, yet words are words, wherever they fall. The judgement is the same and The Almighty will hold them accountable.
#1,#2,#18.You must be a fool.Good for nothing *****.Gutter scrapper.You must learn to respect the dead
TRAGIC!!! but it was just a matter of time. All those that have eyes should have seen this death coming from miles away. Maybe if govt was more sincere and accurate in its deliverance of his illness to the zambian populance,the burden would have been reduced.
# 1&2, (Beebeo) your poverty, ignorance and myopia is not Levy’s fault. Vent out your anger on your father who failed miserably in providing you a happy childhood. Levy was our president and we will mourn him. Your views are inconsequential. One day you will just go like the rat you are. Not even LT will announce your little departure to hell where you belong.
427, repent from your Sodomo actvities. Jesus can make you straight
Some posts on this blog lack decency and civility. They show such great contempt for love and everything that is called fairness. Wisdom reposes in the heart of the discerning. A great leader has passed on so let us mourn him with dignity and respect. FAREWELL COMRADE LEVY!
1 and 2= May God forgive you for offending those that stand for what is right. Fellow Zambians, at a time like this we need to remember that there has been times like this.May God bless Zambia
Zambians shall miss His Excellence Dr. Patrick Levy Mwanawasa. MHSRIP.
443, I agree with you. That is the difference between Americans and Zambians, look at 9-11, the came together, Ronald Reagan death they united. Levy was the president whether you liked him you not. Lets unite for a week and mourn the man.
1 and 2 have not long to live.
please pipo stop worrying about the money spent on the health of our president because it is not in fact the Zambian government to pay the bills the Government of France has released a statement that they clear the medical bills. even if it was our government paying so what Levy was our leader and we have to take care of him in happiness and sadness my your soul rest in peace…. u were truly a son of the soil..
Blessed are those who are mourn,tears will dry, but memories will never fade,may his soul rest in enternal peace.
He was good fight; has you can see the jobs he as done in all the provinces,ooh God we wish him safely journey
MHSRIP.
we gona miss u Levy..its unfortunate u hav gon minus u seing “CHIPOLOPOLO” win the AFCON..rest in peace
why blame bbc for not making it a headline,,,the fact that its was headline in zambia is smore important than what u stupid bloggers are toking of,,,,,,,and y postpone zambia,s friendly game against some club in germany,,,after al those guys need to win and shud they loose i shall skin them alive,,if we postpone all form of activites then this country will go down over some one whos resting in peace,,mind u kwacha has shaken already…….and over the 1st lady its a duty as wife to advise your husband in aproper manner,,if she was intrested in his health she shud have advised him to stop and rest but instead they hero wosrhiped him including mpombo who knelt for him
The leader of this country has departed and as Zambians we need to stand in unison as we look forward for better tomorrow free from unwanted conflicts spearheaded by the haters of peace and love. Zambia has a challenge to prove to the rest of the world that we can stand as one even in worst situations, where some have failed. We still have a lot to achieve as a country and so we have NO room for bloody conflicts. We still have a country to build. Those of you who want to champion hatred & fuel anarchy, must realize that you’re in a God protected land and such schemes shall against yourselves. This is a time to unite & encourage one another and posting senseless messages. GOD Forbid!
L.P.M R.I.P
For these that are negative its a shame,our late father might have had his weaknesses but let us not judge him. He did what he felt was in the best interest of the country. Its a shame to hear pipo complaining about the medical bills, ala mwebantu mwe bale lila pashsa ma medical bills they are been covered tamunfwile. Lets be united, lets all be prayerfull let the spirit lead. The lord has seen us this far and he will surely guide us.
where is he going to be buried? i dont know if we have burial site for big people in this country
so sorry.may the good Lord bless the bereaved family and the nation at large.MYSRP
George Russia is spot on. maureen should have advised the late LPM to step down due to his frail health. As for FAZ… they are *****s, you cant put the friendly on ice just coz of LPMs death. Life needs to go on..
ka Lisa ichi nyo!
He was a great man. Despite his short comings (of which all of us have), he deserves a dignified and respectable mourning period. we shall miss u ba Levy. MYSRIP
To everyman, one life is given

May the soul of our dear beloved president rest in eternal peace.
A great loss indeed to his family, Zambia and Africa as a whole.
What will you gain if you sold your soul
Just to gain earthly goods
Lo Hell does not say enough
Yet the way of the redeemed is narrower still
Lets move on,we all know that we shall die one day since its an appointment.Maureen has done what she wanted to send LPM to the grave early.Uncle bob was just a catalist not to mention increments by public office bearers.
Ba Mwinsho baya… iwe gay who are you advertising your stinking ass to
Lisa.You ar a fat ass hole.May God deliver you from your evil ways.You must be an elien.
Lets not forget that the dead were once alive like the living you and me.The thing is, whether we like it or not we shall all come across death. Bane lets have respect for the dead. Takwaba uwa temwa ukufwa nangula uwa temwa imfwa iyo. My deepest condolences to the first lady and the children and may the soul of our beloved President rest in eternal peace.
#461 Iwe ci Mwisho ubupuba makaka iwe. Grow up for crying out loud. Ifimano ububi.
I am sorry for the people of Zambia, Mwanawassa was was our friend, our father and he used to love people of Tanzania.
rest in peace Dr Levy
Why are people condeming the international media? These news media did inform us when the President died but everybody dispelled the news. Iam not convinced that LPM died on 19/08/08.
I still go by the earlier date which is 03/07/08. Mr Mpombo and RB even shed tears that day. I should have seen tears on TV yesterday, maybe I should have been convinced.
THE FOLLY OF A DEJECTED KING HANGING ON A CROSS
CONFOUNDS THE KINGS OF THIS EARTHLY LIFE
BEYOND THIS LIFE YONDER NO ARGUMENT REMAINS
YET JESU UMEMEZA, HE SAYS COME COME
Mwe bantu, you have been posting comments the whole night! tamwachilala?
To Beebeo.
Mwanawasa was a head of state and therefore, deserved to receive treatment at a VIP Hospital just like any other Head of state in the world over. No one would fly your sick brain to the Percy for treatment because the Hospital is only meant for VIPs. May be for experimentation purposes cause yo brain seems to be strange. VIPs from all over the world go there to receive treatment. Even from the highly developed countries with state of the art hospitals. Thats the way it is. VIPs have their own special treatment. Strive 2 be a VIP if you want. Hope this will get into your head.
Question,
Our great leader, where is he going to be buried?
unza closed,,,salaries increased,fuel increased,,awe ba mudala y did u leave wen we needed u so much,,are we going have 2011 all africa games,the ndola stadium built,the new constitution put in place,i think i now agree with those who wanted to name the chembe bridge after u,,dispite having some shotcomings,there things u wud point at that u did,,i wonder wat these mpombos are going do,i can imagine the rooting that will be there in the next 90days,,twa chula,,,,,,,,,,,,ubulanda nebo
Ladies and Gentlemen, just leave that fool alone (Beebeo) we ll blame those two at home for not teaching him manners and the way to live in society.
RIP Levy
We need to united and finish the job he has left,
WAS THERE ANY KING NOBLER, WAS THERE ANY SO MOCKED
WAS THERE ANY SO INDIGNIFIED, WHOSE DEATH SO IGNOBLE
WAS THERE A DEATH MORE SHAMEFUL
LIFTED WAS HE BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH
A MONUMENT OF SHAME YET OF GODS UNABOUNDED LOVE
*461 bushe ba mwhinsho, mulibalwele? umusalula wacila. ikateni akanwa kenu. May God forgive you and deliver you.
#298 (Lisa), you have a bigger problem than I thougt. I’m based & working in Zambia, paid for my education (not even bursaries) and I got my job on merit. I exercised patience and persistence to get it. If you are just going to sit there & expect a handout from the president, you will suffer. Biterness won’t help you. The world will not stop for a whining chap.
Learn this lesson now & save yourself from further suffering, cry baby.
we ll sadly miss you our dear father
Rest in peace
268 I am so sorry i never meant you it was 1 and 2 i was refering to forgive me .

THE COMFORTER OF THE COMFORTLESS
RIP LPM. We all stand united in mourning your passing. Your words of wisdom shall always be with us.
472, an American pastor who stayed in Zambia for 10 years used to say Zambians are very superstitious people, I used to think the guy was racist. 472, going by your comments, he was right, do you think in this day and age of media technology one can hid the death of a president for two months? I wonder, which international news you follow. Levy’s death was on CNN, BBC, Reuters, Bloomberg within an hour of RB’s TV address.
All Zambians must join in prayer so that the country doesnt go back to these Bemba thieves or the stingy Tonga’s.
AMEN AMEN AMEN. 489.
490,i agree with u,,b4 our local media updated thier sites,,bcc were working on a a brief background of levy and our stations have been coting it since yesterday,,blame znbc,,coz they are not doing enough to give info on his death,,i wont be suprised to see bcc or cnn report from france,,,can u woke up and send a reporter to france,,,mwi bika ka map ka zambia na kumutwe ati reporting from france,,rubbish media,,bravo lusakatimes
#354 The Zambian Voice.For your own info Anglo pulled out bcoz their man whom they were supporting lost-Andy.Anglo thot that by pulling out the Zedian economy will come 2 its knees.Yes they managed but 4 a short while.LPM went East and Austrial 2 canvass for investment and look at what has happened in the MUF Smelter,KDMP,Nchanga Smelter,Kasanshi,Lumwana,Munali hills(Albidon),Mopani Nkana and now the Muliashi projects.Bloggers Anglo wanted to buy all the mines in Zed at a give price.You talked of Lusaka turning in a big shant compound.FYI lusaka shant compounds were mushrooming in the 3rd republic when ba Shikulu bali ba Minister ku LGHA.If look at Agric it improved from the time of FTJ and
My deepest condolences go to LPM and the many nameless zambians that have died recently that will go without mourning. When a man stands before YHWH whether head of state or pauper they will be shown compassion. I adore how zambians are coming together to mourn but also I deplore how the basis of of mourning of a person is based on his status. I just hope this genuine mourning is not only reserved for the rich because money and condolences mean nothing during judgement
The Ndola stadium(If it will be built by the Chinese) should be named after LPM. It would be fitting because, LPM was a Ndola man and it is under his administration that the signed the deal for it to be built. It should be named something like the “Levy Mwanawasa International Sports Complex”. I guess LPM had his own vision for Zambia.
Thank you for what you did during your time.
493, thank God we have Lusaka Times, at least they are faster. Zamnet, Times of Zambia are the most useless media outlets, I have ever seen. ZNBC website is better. I does to take much to update a website, they can even have a WordPress one like LT even a google blog look at Zambianfootball.net. I think heads should roll at Times and Daily.
Burial update pliz
What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
Dr Levy Patrick Mwanawasa was a true champion to real democracy in Zambia
I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Cont 494.they were postive result into that direction compared to the promissory that our poor so called peasant farmers were given.Like I earlier said not all was well but he tried his best and did not use his position to aquire other pipo’s wivies and bedding cadres like the other presdo did.For now to you he did nothing but the time will come when you will appreciate his work.There a saying in bemba that umusha bamutasha lilya aya.To all peace loving Zedians keep on prayer that the almight give us another mosiac type of leader and not the aaronic one.LORD Jesus we thank you for LPM and its our humble prayer that comfort us and prevail over our carnal thinking so that we do not habour hatr
NJOOKA you’re an *****. #340 has described you nicely.
OWeeee,OWeeee,Oweeee,Oweee,eyeeee,eyeeee,eyeee,oweeee,balevy sure mwasha mu doti.
REST IN ETERNAL PEACE MR PRESIDENT
May God, the Almighty comfort the first family and all Zambians during this difficult and trying moment. We thank him for giving us a courageous and visionary leader. Indeed we shall miss him so much. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
May we also continue praying for peace and for a new leader to take over from where he has left.
I WILL PERSONALLY MISS THIS GREAT SON OF THE ZAMBIAN SOIL………..
Ma Guyz imwe manyozooo. How can you build Zambia like this???????????????????
Its really sad that ve lost a king and a heroe. May the good Lord be with the first family during this trying moment and may he unite us (Zambians) as we see the wayforward. May Love and peace continue prevailing in Zambia.
UK ZAMBIANS, ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO OFFER OUR SUPPORT TO MAUREEN AND FAMILY. DOESNT NECESSARILY HAVE TO INVOLVE MONEY. PERHAPS A LETTER OF CONDOLENCES SIGNED BY ALL OF US (WHO ARE INTERESTED).
OTHER SUGGESTIONS WELCOME.
My deepest condolences go to the first family and to all the Zambian people. We Thank God for the Life of President Mwanawasa and we appreciate for the Contribution he has made for the country.
May the soul of our dear beloved president rest in eternal peace.
A great loss indeed to his family, Zambia and Africa as a whole.Zambian lets be united.
It is indeed a great loss to our mother land Zambia. In this man we saw and learnt courage and that is to go on a path for the good of many even if it meant losing close friends. He soldiered on with the true interests of the country. My prayer is that may the almighty God who knows our rising and our going down, guide this belovered country Zambia to greatness, so all would see that indeed you have not forsaken us. And Lord we thank you for this Great son of Africa that you blessed us with in Jesus Name. Amen!
Even when you’re gone you will always be our great president that faught for our better Zambia….RIP
Zambians in USA lets meet in washington DC and mourn Levy.May God bless Zambia and first family, rest in peace LEVY.

#491; but to who? Selfish and irelevant prayer!People will speak within three months; they know the good and evils KK, Chiluba and Levy have done to this country better than you.
May your soul rest in peace bashi Chipo. You will be greatly missed.
Right Now Sata is acting more like acting President than RB. No proper updates up to now, these are things that bring confusion

“the first rain after a long draught”……..
This Man became an inspiration to us,and yes we doubted and mocked him but,he had a vision which was evident for all to see…First Levy,sorry for the doubts and thank you for all the things you’ve done for Zambia and Africa.To me,you’re the greastest president to lead our country
God be with the First Family and bless them.
you guys are champion of dm thanks guy but lets be united for mother zambia. veva LPM
The Secretary-General was deeply saddened to learn of the death of His Excellency Levy Patrick Mwanawasa, President of Zambia and Chairperson of the Southern African Development Community. He conveys his profound condolences to President Mwanawasa’s family, and to the people and Government of Zambia, at this difficult time.
As Vice-President and later President, Mr. Mwanawasa was at the forefront of Zambian politics at a time of exceptional challenge and change in his country and in the southern African region as a whole. His periods in office ranged from Zambia’s crucial role in the struggle to end apartheid in South Africa, to his firm stance, as SADC Chairman, on the post-election c
guyz lets discuss developmental issues now that our leader is no more.what next???????????????????
What is developmental issues
Interesting suggestion from Anonymous 469 as regards the stadium in Ndola being named after him. That would be one way to preserve the memory of a President and fitting that it would be in his hometown.
MHSRIP
Guyz,
Those pontaling about the Late Levy are demons
#494 would you be pleased with the indians. i am sure you realise that there are building all that using our own money. if you talk of KCM, those so called inverstor LPM brought did not bring in any money. if you are sharp, check the Vendata finacial report for 2004. you can access that on the internet. then you will realise how much Zambia lost. all these projects started during Chiluba. Right now local companies are crying in Chingola. Think. i hope you are not an indian
Country men…LPM has gone in the of mother ZAMBIA and AFRICA no argument…we need to continue from where he has left the country in areas …MHSRIP
Its sad story for all zambians and neighbouring countries.A great leader is lost. Lets up pray for peace, bury the man with outmost respect. Let us stay focused and not lose hope. God has always had zambians back . Only God has the power and control over zambia.Twaya ku state house ku funeral hse, by the way its strictly by card.
#523. If you are so sharp yourself and don’t see any progress in our economy, tell us how the economy should be run.
It’s most unfortunate – but huge expenses incurred in saving him whilst Zambian doctors are on strike, no drugs at UTH, no basic facilities, babies dying for government negligence – and the rich come back home in coffins. Abena Zambia, waken up!
335 and 336 whether you like it or not China and the ‘asian tigers’ are the world fastest growing economies. The Uk and the US are battling with recession and when the going gets tough xenophobia sets in. My friends leavwe that junk food and come and enjoy our village chicken Right now the dollar and other foreign currency fetch so little that it is not worth remitting your wages against the strong kwacha (thanks to Levy (MHSRIP)
People at home have progressed to the extent that nowadays home ownership permeates accross all from New Kasama, Ibex to Kanyama. Levy Mwanawasa has a left a legacy for all to see…..
Next please……………………………….
#526 let us realise that they is no one with birth rights to rule. as long as we have fools like mulogoti, mpombo who never sees the ruth. we will never go forward. days of being in power because of boot liking, are gone. people should be in offices because they deserve the posts. The attacks on Tentemashimba was not necessary. let us spport the people who are for change and want to give Zambian people their rights. we can only move forward once we recognise school and let the people who are qualify lead us. (can you imagine at onetime some fool even proposed that the min qualification for the president should be grade 7) hope you will understand me
When are we burring Levy?
And when is HH going to State House? Those who are isulting plz mourn first or else i will follow yu and stick the very nonsese yu are sheeting right up yo ass hole, foolish!
L.P.M you were outstanding big man M.Y.S.R.I.P.
Please, dont attack #1. Everybody is entitled to his opinion. Not all the people are the same. Some are short, others tall, some long nose. It is God’s plan to have different views. Imagine the opposition being the same with the ruling party!! Criticism provides checks and balances. In society, we have sane and insane people. Dont you think this is God’s design? Personally, if no one critises me, then I have to check myself again. Criticism builds. For example, during KK’s rule his MPs stopped criticising him. They even told him lies just to please him. In the he lost the ERECTIONs in 1991. So we are not all the same please. Meanwhile, we mourn our President. FULL STOP
#528 i like your defination of progress. i guess if you crossed the borders into botswana or south africa i dont know what you will say. they has been very slow progress in zambia since KK left. how many houses does the institutions deliver to the people. and where on earth can some one pay for the house after working for 2 years and yet his/her family were poor. our children needs to be brought up in an envoroment where they know that first is school then job then get a loan to get a house and car, then pay from my salary. the situation u are recommending only makes our children into crooks. one year in employement the person has a car and a house. if you add up the annual salary
I just hope these *****s wont kill each other over who goes to plot one. Levy has left a legacy. Zambia’s legend. i agree with the naming of the Ndola Studium after the him….
#532 please there is a thin lien between freedom of option and stupidity. We have to pump sense some of these testcle holders. I dont see how you can
why is sata yapping?
Perhaps, Beebeo is trying to let our greedy politicians to invest in their own health service. Indeed a lot of tax payers money is being spent on officials being treated in the West our the majority of us poor Zambians are left bed-ridden and on nothing else but outdated malaria tablets. Wake up Zambia!
Give Beebeo a break – this attitude of holding our “leaders” above reproach is what stagnates our country’s growth. You need to reflect and learn from experiences and stop idolising our presidents. As for the Ndola stadium, it was named after Dag Hammarkesjoeld – do you intend to reclaim it from him. After all the stadium is very substandard, is that your memory of LPM?
In any western country citizens would be outraged that their president doesnt find it fit to obtain medical services in his/her country. We have an hiv rate of 16.5% and you dont want any discussion on the fact that our medical services are lacking. So, the president had free medical, and you are proud of that? Come on!
MYSRIP Mr President,now the new govt should look into
the operation of Railway systems.Concerned zambian citizen.
LPM rest in peace.
We will miss your leadership.
A loss to the continent, but in particular to the Zimbabwean people. President Mwanawasa gave us hope that our plight was receiving the right assessment when he became the first to criticise the madness that is Robert Mugabe. We certainly would have hoped for the death of Mugabe than this galant son of Africa.
May he rest in peace.
94 ask your mother to teach you some manners as an African, no matter how belatedly, otherwise uka yisebanya ne chinwa chobe pa bwingi. We have a solemn moment here and that is the best you can say? We mbwa we tawa fundwa, elo I hope ta uli mukashana pantu ninshi elo cha bipisa pushi iwe.

people please let us mourn and leave out the insults its so ungodly and inhuman.may GOD rest our presidents soul
LT. DO YOU WANT TO START SELF CENSORSHIP OR WHAT. WHAT IS IT ABOUT MAIL ADRESSES AND WEBSITES. AM OUT OF HERE.
conman has gone to prepare the burial site for our beloved. i will not be part of a site that wants to get personal details of its bloggers. ZOL tried it but they lost a lot of people and had to revisit their old format. so follow suit.
I dont think LT insists on personal details, they seem to be optional
Kibumai shangwe bo LPM. Mulimu abe niluna bana ba Zambia. Yela mina babasweli ku lyaha amuikete, kinako ya maswabi. MHSRIP
very sad, but i guess every dog has its day. i remember some people jubilant during Anderson Mazoka’s death….so whats the big deal if some people are jubilant over LPMs death? you cant be liked by all.
Sincere condolences to the family and all the people of Zambia. May the God Lord Almighty hear our prayers and bless us with yet another capable leader who will follow in LPM’s footsteps to lead our great country to even higher heights.
My most sincere and heartfelt condolences to the first lady and family.
I am deeply saddened by the death of our president.He made us proud and made Zambia a better country to live in.May his soul rest in peace

We knew our President. I was a lucky one to meet with him in 1993 and onwards. I am proud I attended Church Srvices wuth him.I am proud I dined with him and his family. I am proud to be just a small man like he was. I am proud to love my family and my country like he did. He left us a democracy to take care and friendship we built.
Vladimir Marjanovic and Family,Belgrade,Serbia
All Zambians, within and abroad our hearts are deeply touched at the death of our great leader.
He did things with a sense of ownership; and ownership not for himself alone, but ownership for the benefit of all Zambians and the region. He was indeed a great leader. The seed he has planted in our mines and hearts will stay, his influence remains, his effort continues on in bearing fruit.
May his soul RIP.

# 551 if you want to urinate in front of visitors, guests, family memebers (young brothers and sisters) can you do so because you’re entitled to express yourself??? Who ever you are you need to go to learn a bit of logic and ethics.
LPM rest in Peace
Lisa are u married??? Its a pity to have such a wife with ugly and nonsensical way of thinking. I think you’re as ugly as your thoughts. Yak!!!
Beloved President LPM we’re proud of you. You were truly a thinker and I’ll miss you.
SHOULD HAVE DONE YOUR HOMEWORK!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEE!

ITS PAINFUL AND AFTER ALL THE PRAYERS THE LEADER HAS PASSED ON.IN GOD WE TRUST AND PRAY THAT GOD WILL GUIDE US ALL TO WHERE HE WANTS US TO BE AND LOOK FORWARD TO HIM GIVING ZAMBIANS A RIGHT REPLACEMENT OF LEADERSHIP.
GOD TAKES THE GOOD.
Ambuye,muwacitile cifundo malemu Dr. Levy Patrick Mwansa, S.C. May His Soul Rest In Peace. We thank God for what you did for mother Zambia. Alandileni mukhuwala kwanu. My Condolences to his family and friends. God gave us, and God has taken.
Those who die in Christ, have not need to worry. “Father” forgive those who have abused this site, for they do not know what they are doing. Nabatushe mu cibote ca Mfumu Lesa Kabumba.Amen!
It is really a great lose in southern region 2 have such a big and unxpected pains 2 all Zambian and the entire community of Africa and de world @ large. 2 my supprice, is 2 you pipo, u kip on insulting each other on de net.Dd u wait 4 him 2 leave us in tears, so dat u bring your pathetic manners? uuhh?
I strongly call you BANKURMS AND u ar mentally dissorganised & disturbed.
Enough 4 your folishness, & remember,dat THE GOD HU CREATED YOU, WITHOUT U, `ILL REWARDS U WTOUT U .THNK ABT DIS, FOLISH BANKURMS.
The time is now that all Zambians should awake from their deep slumber of ignorance, lets vote HH, young, healthy,intelligent, successful and rich.
We do not need dead man walking(Sata) in plot 1, nor do we want poor and ignorant(RB) who will end up like bus conductor(Chiluba), by plundering with this money hungly cabinet we have.Neither do we want the clueless(Godfrey Miyanda)he will lose track of the good economical direction that the Cabbege but hard working(LPM) left us in.Nor do we want the I know it all(Magande) who will not be able to listen to advise as he thinks that he know better than anybody else, this will reduce investor confidence in Zambia.
Lets all vote HH.
N0. 1 & 2 this person is so arrogant. Certain positions go with the perks and footing the bill for our late President is befitting. Take your frustrations elsewere and not on our father who did so much to revamp Zambia. Going by his comments maybe he does not even know what paying tax is. If a company can pay for all expenses (hospital and funeral) for its employee why shouldn’ our country do the same for our President. Tata MYRIEP
#1 and #2 has committed TREASON. Check out his computer IP address, find him and bring him to justice. I am serious. Find this guy and he will be tried!!
May the powers of government find this man soon!
I will exercise “citizen’s arrest” rights and expose him for denegrating the Presidency and Issuing Falsehoods against the State at a time of National Disaster
568-570 just look at your blog name “confused”, how can we take u serious with such a degrading name? Stop intimidating bloggers, you think this is Zambia where u scare every one-ifimano fye buukaponya chimoneni ifi matobo uku fita.. Stay where u are and get yourself some ice blocks from the market
May his soul RIP and my thoughts are with his family at this very difficult time.
RIP Levy, but this should be a lesson to all up coming leaders, that all citizens of zambia deserve the health care like the one Levy received in France. A lot of Zambia die from the same sickness that the president without any attention from local hospital. All up coming leaders please may sure that you invest in health care so that all zambians can receive the kind of treatment Levy had.
I don’t about you, but would be my first priority.
#118 These two people you mentioned Xavier chungu and FTJ are the worst thieves and economic planderers of our beautiful country Zambia and for you to fill pity for them you must be one of them or you are not a Zambian. The next president is coming after you. Mind you Umulandu Taubola.
Thank you Ba Levy for having exposed these thugs.. MYSRIP. It is my sincere wish that Xavier continue jumping from one continent to the next till his dying day. It doesn’t pay to be a thief….
