As far the cause of death, we will never know the exact sequence of events that led to the demise of President Mwanawasa. We can only work backwards and try to figure it out. The appropriateness of the interventions or what could have been done differently is impossible to tell at this stage. It would be unethical to disclose the late president’s medical records to the public.
Case scenarios of what could have happened to President Mwanawasa
Scenario 1. By doctor A .Mwanawasa is said to have complained of chest pains first and this was the reason he was taken to this Egyptian hospital. Later we were told he had a stroke. It is therefore possible that the president initially had a Myocardial infarction(heart attack) or pulmonary infarction. A coronary catherization could have then lead him to have an Ischemic stroke. Ischemic stroke occurs in 0.2-0.4% of patients undergoing left heart catheterization, and is responsible for 5-10% of the mortality associated with the procedure.
President Mwanawasa however had so many risk factors for a stroke:
- diabetes,
- hypertension,
- a black male,
- previous stroke and the
- Office of presidency.
The other factors which we may not know relate to his cholesterol and albuminuria which is closely linked to diabetes and hypertension. He was however a non smoker
Scenario 2. By Doctor B It appears that President Mwanawasas medical conditions were not well managed. This was either because the president didn’t adhere to his treatment or the information given to the president was not sufficient enough for him to make an informed decision. The risk of having another stroke with poorly controlled BP, Diabetes, high cholesterol and stressful job should have been well explained to him. The risk of death with a second stroke should also have been well explained. So a lack of Bp control lead to a stroke which was massive if it lead to unconsciousness. Usually an ischemic stroke won’t knock you out so it was probably hemorrhagic stroke.
Scenario 3 By Doctor C The president had a hemorrhagic stroke.The Craniotomy done on the President to monitor his intracranial pressures could have precipitated uncontrolled seizures from cerebral irritation. This could have lead to aspiration which in turn lead to pneumonia. All this is what could have caused him to be ventilator dependent. Probably that’s when GRZ said he was stable. Being in ICU as long as he was he probably got hospital acquired pneumonia with possibly MDR pseudomonas or MRSA and the French, like all European countries don’t like to give antibiotics in such situations till you’re on your death bed (which he was).
Why President Mwanawasa had a craniotomy and tracheostomy.
By doctor D. The government informed the general public that the president had a craniotomy and tracheostomy. Well assuming he did have a craniotomy, it is likely this was done to reduce elevated intracranial pressure. The elevated intracranial pressure is likely from a hemorrhagic stroke (either a primary hemorrhagic stroke or hemorrhagic conversion of an ischemic stroke). The tracheostomy was likely done due to prolonged intubation.( Insertion of a tube through the mouth or the nose and into a patient’s lungs to help them breathe. The reason for the prolonged intubation was likely due to poor neurological function. He was not reported to have had major pulmonary disease and so should have been able to wean from the ventilator (breath on his own). The fact that he did not suggests that his neurological function was so severely impaired that it affected his ability to protect his airway and/or his respiratory drive was severely depressed. In any case, if this was a stroke then the cause was lost well before he reached France. Prognosis of strokes with intracerebral and subarachnoid haemorrhage is terrible even in the best of centers and the 1month mortality approaches 50%.
Discussion\Recommendations
By Doctor E.I think as doctors we should have the courage to tell the patients all the facts about a particular disease and the associated risks with or without treatment.
I believe the Presidents medical conditions were not well controlled. Why do I say this? The President flew to Egypt and the same day or was it the following day, his blood pressure was sky rocketing. Please correct me but I think he flew from Lusaka with uncontrolled BP. This should never have been allowed.
Doctor F Hemorrhagic stroke in our man with his history meant we lost him in Egypt. I do not believe he could have been STABLE post-hemorrhagic stroke and ventilator dependent. He had a very bad prognosis.
Doctor G I think there should be a committee of doctors to look after our President but doctors who can be consulted from time to time to give an a opinion. I don’t mean doctors who will spend all their time at state house to earn a living but doctors who will give specialist advice from time to time. These should not be hand picked by the President because they are MMD, or PF doctors. Some form of a body can recommend these doctors. They should be full time practicing doctors and should continue doing so even after been selected. They should be on a government t salary and not an allowance from state house.
Doctor H Obviously we can see that with all this speculation about what happened to our late president, it’s clear that our Medical Association needs to change from that of being an association to that of a union or another body stronger than it is, so that we can add our voices to such matters. We have representation of ZMA during the NCC and we expected that ZMA would have met to discuss the things we want enshrined in the republican constitution as regards the health of our president. We also hope on an improvement on the kind of reporting that we heard over the past months.So I pose the question –when should the chief justice call for a medical board? In our current constitution it states that and I quote:
36. (1) If it is resolved by a majority of all the members of the Cabinet that the question of the physical or mental capacity of the President to discharge the functions of his office ought to be investigated, and they so inform the Chief Justice, then the Chief Justice shall appoint a board consisting of not less than three persons selected by him from among Persons who are qualified as medical practitioners under the law of Zambia or under the law of any other country in the Commonwealth, and the board shall inquire into the matter and report to the Chief Justice.
If that’s the case, did we have to wait until it was too late? Such a board should be convened when the experts feel that a president is not fit to continue. Currently the Chief justice is appointed by the president so it will be extremely difficult for him to call for a medical board. Therefore we should advocate for a professional body like ZMA to decide to convene such a board and not Cabinet or the Chief justice. The French doctors should be ashamed of themselves for saying Mwanawasa was in a stable state and making steady progress. President Sarkosy felt guilty on his countries behalf and paid all the medical bills and gave us his presidential plane to bring home our beloved president.
Doctor D As far as the lessons to be learned from this, whether medical conditions should disqualify people from running for president is a tricky question. There are many examples in the US where people with questionable health have held important positions in government. Bill Clinton underwent bypass surgery. McCain has a lot of medical conditions, but they are all controlled and so it seems okey for him to run for presidency. Senator Ted Kennedy is currently being treated for brain cancer, but continues to work in the senate. So it is difficult to rule out candidate just on medical conditions alone. Further, President Mwanawasa had a potentially preventable condition. One thing is clear. There is a need to educate the public about diabetes and cardiovascular disease in general and stroke in particular. The need for education is great in Africa. Let’s keep trying to get the word out on disease prevention as much as we can. We have the ability to prevent the epidemics of hypertension, stroke and cardiovascular disease in Zambia before things get as bad as they are in the West. We can apply the lessons learned from the west to prevent disease before it gets more people.
Proverbs 24 v 11-12 “Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to die;save them as they stagger to their death.Don’t excuse yourself by saying, “Look, we didn’t know.”For God understands all hearts, and he sees you. He who guards your soul knows you knew.He will repay all people as their actions deserve.
Interesting article. I think we need a Commission of Inquiry set up ri look into this. Did those Doctors who got huge State house allowances to be at State house and examine the president before he went to Egypt do their job. Did they wrongly advise him just to keep their huge allowances and jobs. I think they should be made to account for their actions. Levy’s condition was manageable
I think we also need to ensure that people contesting for the head of state office and are mentally and physically sound. Sata needs to be examined carefully. We dont need another head of state’s funeral soon.
People people, Mwayamba. It was just a stroke unpredictable. Stop finger pointing. Some ministers died just sitting on the couch. There is nothing wrong with death. Boonse tuleya.
I must admit that there were serious lapses with LPM’s medical condition monitoring. Yes a commission of enquiry will help answer a lot of questions and settle the ever mind-boggling question as to why they let a man heavy with healthy baggage travel such long distances. Whoever was advising LPM on health matter must be brought to account. What is sad also is that despite all the resources at his disposal either LPM or his advisors didnt see it fit to utilise and help control and curb his failing health. What a shame really.
Sata should stop smoking. Otherwise he will go soon.
CLOSED CHAPTER!!!!!!!!
I gotta go to bed. No holiday for me.
What exactly happened to Levy ?. He died
Well researched LT. But the powers that African leaders have is what really buffles me. Do we honestly think Kafupi would have heed to being told shikulu nasheniko? We do not know the truth but chances are Levy must have thought he was fit enough to carry on and who are to say no to what the president has decided?
After “that medical” as were meant to believe in London, his health should have been questioned. But who could have done it?
hey lets forget about it. we cant afford a re-election and people are already talking about an inquiry???? are you mad?/
We are all bound to go no matter the cause, HIV, TB, BP, HP, Malaria, we are all bound for the same destination. Period
#1 Yeah Levy’s condition may have been manageable but he was the president, and, in Africa! I have seen people fired for telling the truth. On the other hand, even in the west with all the technology and the advances in medicine (talk about Angiogrames-PCIs, the by pass grafts people still die.
Hey Gelo wa pa Zee you make these killers sound like some qualifications of some kind PP, HH. But I think you are right as they say “in Africa a tree doesn’t just fall unless it’s dropped.” The truth is sometimes trees will just fall and thats why there is something called insurance. The best thing for everyone is to move on. This kind of talk just adds salt to the injury to those who are real close to the late President.
#1. There is no need for that. Our beloved President is no more and will not solve anything. Maybe for the future lets do things properly to avoid what happend. Even Maureen should be blamed in a way. He should have advised the husband to step down and rest. Nomba ukufwaya ukulya bwino.
#15 That is a bit harsh on her. Not her fault. Men in Africa rarely listen to their women.
You are always blaming Maurine for nothing. Can you stop fooling us/ we loved our president.
#12 gelo wa pa zed you are stupid. who doesnt know that we ll all go. havent you seen wat it has cost us to av by elections, increasing the chances of not opening,chanelling all resources to the funeral, wasted production tym for morning for things that are preventable. much more for moreen who is she going to be helping her????? with her title. the children growing without a father (former father) so u gelo wa pa ponopono watch out 4 wat you say maka iwe. if you wea a widow wat wea u going say eh!
#18 ORRECTION
i meant chances of NOT opening UNZA.
mourning en not morning
makaka iwe en not maka iwe
#19 CORRECTION
wateva you understand anyway
My own theory is as follows: LPM was brain dead around 3 July when we first heard rumours of his death. He was on life support for 6 weeks until it was decided that they be turned off. The day before he was taken off life support, the government told the nation that his condition had worsened. That was a PR stunt knowing that he would die the next day when taken off life support.
Ala infwa ninfwa, what LPM was supposed to do was kutoping’a. Its not like the man was financially handicapped manje akapunafye akapuna. Nififine mwakulaponafye one by one. Whose next??? Maureen has all the answers>>>>>>>>>>>>ha ha
When your time to die has come you CANNOT do jack about it, do not know why you people think anything could have saved LPM when the BIG MAN up there had called him PERIOD.
if u were to die today what ll b your cause of your death?Think before you bring all these sily talks.Don’t u ve respect for the mourners
# 21 you are the man or womam !
LPM ‘ s death was cooked. Shame on GRZ, so was his will. RB’s MDD membership is manufatured.Lawyer no need to chase ambulances and get rich .
If MMD adopts Magande, votes in the southern province will be divided between him and HH. There is also a chance that whoever wins in MMD to stand, the other aspirants might walk out on him. Sata also has his healthy issues while HH has tribe issues. Hope things will be done peacefully though coz at the moment everyone thinks he should be president when no one is perfect.
Let the games begin
Bwana UNZA failure,you really are a failure.I need to see your G12 results.You sound like the main reason for having UNZA closed i.e not qualified to be at UNZA and just waiting for that chance to throw stones.Wasting tax payers money.So stick to the topic and stop insulting and crying.
i agree with #6 and #8 its a closed chapter and he died. Concentrate on your lives now and thank God for him(LPM)MHSRIP. Amen.
#28 i agree with you.Hallujah to that
Zambians, the man died of stroke ! Let’s mourn, bury him and move on. This is how we don’t progress starting this witch hunt. Mwanawasa was not immortal – he was going to die at some stage. And his death has not come as a great surprise (great shock yes, as in all deaths). Let’s focus on rebuilding instead of going backwards tying to determine WHAT exactly killed him and WHY ?! The man is resting now, it is for the living to move by choosing a new leader and continuing with the good work Mwanawasa had done.
Ni ka last kana muletelela Levy. The first time round he should have convinced his dearly wed, Maureen that time was up at State HOuse and they needed to lead a private life. He was too active given the odds against him. One man Bp. diabetes, and God knows what else!
In the first place ,all Zambians new that they where voting for unhealthy man,i dont know why people want to keep debating about his sickness coz his gone….
there is no smoke without fire,cant say no more,otherwise MHSRIP
when all is said and done and LPM is gone, we need to forge ahead and look at how we can prevent unnecessary happennings. LPM’s chances of suffering another stoke where high and his doctors shoould have advised him so. anyway he is gone so now we nid to tok about the future without him. lets work hard as Zambian and lets put leaders who have shown willingness to serve and nnot to be served. i think there can never b any1 who will rule like LPM coz he had his own style. HH will have his owm method of ruling, BA sata his own and ngondo(God forbid) will rule his own way. LPM is gone and lets move on. MHSRIP

One of the risk factors for a stroke for our beloved LPM was “a black male”. How was this a risk factor as opposed to “a white male”. By the way are there no better terms to use except the offensive black and white persons. I wonder if there is a black/white person on planet earth. I only notice shades of brown earth.
nice new look LT..keep it up! its important to look at the circumstances surrounding this issue objectively and i feel a medical report should be issued so that necessary legislation is put in place.we dont want such a thing to happen again.
What do they mean by ” a black male”?
Let the people decide through the ballot their next President whether from the MMD or opposition. We all at one time belonged to UNIP and later MMD and then split in all shapes. This nonsense of carrying on with Levy legacy can’t hold because we all sacrificed to reach HIPC hence the economic boom. Levy merely hoodwinked the interational community with selective prosecutions and wait for the judgement and the issue of the Finance Charter under the Levy regime which he hesistaed to produce because he has used it also.
The task force mandate should now be extended to Levy’s regime so that the legacy is exposed.

let bygones be bygones,Levy is no more and there is nothing we can do about it.From begining we all knew that levy was not fit for the job but instead we all pretended.Its a lesson we have all learned so now which way zed?. This is the question we must all attempt to answer bravely and not emotionally.Who is going to be our next president?
#37 Pa Zed they mean as the late Pres was a black man like most of us on this forum, we are susceptible to having ‘certain’ conditions like LPM in our genes (heriditory). Stay well
I think the idea of saying there was nothing he could do is very shallow! Please think before you post your comments like little children in pre-grade. We know he could not do anything about it. We also know you can’t do anything about your thinking if you even call it ‘thinking’. LPM could not do anything about it! But Zambians could have done something about it. We all know he was ill. People are trying to find the cause of his death. Why were people saying he is fit to rule and died while ruling? Was it a fair conclusion? Were doctors lying about his condition? If it was a lie, who spread the lie? But these are questions which some pple’s brains can’t handle and they PERIOD point to
One thing I would really like to know is what happend to spark that stroke in that meeting? Was it Mugabe or Maureen. He is no more so let them tell us the truth so that we don’t have many unanswered questions so that when we mourn our hearts mourn in peace. We need to know who aggravated this painful loss.
People be mindful of what you post ala!!! yamo ama commments kusamwa..
#37: black male means black man – black people in general are more likely to have high BP compared to people of other races, so say some reports.
yes we can move on, but we need to move on with some lessons from this experience.
This is a lesson,Zambian Leaders dont respect educated monks from UNZA.I remember the late Alexander Kamalondo when he was in power he told the UNZA Monks that you will rote with your degrees,Alaas when he got sick,it was the same monks treating him in south africa.VIVA BA MONK MULIBA DATA.
#43 Who do u wat to tell wat happened is Maureen or Mugabe God? Only God knws so shut up with yo foolish idea? aka mutwe.
We all know about our Late President having a stroke. What we dont know is what triggered it, I mean for it to be that severe? Is it our “dearest” Robert Mugabe or “wifey” Maureen Mwanawasa? What really happened down there in Egypt?
Why only talking about politics you leaf lafs, talk about circumcision too, Hey!
LPM made an informed choice to run for a second term. Even those of us who are not medics knew his condition to be serious enough for him not to risk. He chose or it was chosen for him by those who we hear pressured him to continue. His life was not taken from him, rather he laid it down – knowingly.
#21 Right on. He was brain dead the day he had the stroke, didn’t you hear Kabinga Pande talking about the last moments with the president he said the president was put on Oxygen right there in the ambulance and blood samples taken there and then. The late president never spoke a word from the time he fell ill to his death. Even the cousin Mr. Litana on TV when asked what the last words he spoke with the president were, he first eluded the question then finally said he never spoke to me when I went there(France).
Sata u r very mean u know that let live other people alon OKKKKKKK
#43 Who do u wat to tell wat happened is Maureen or Mugabe God? Only God knws so shut up with yo foolish idea? aka mutwe.
Mya, I assume you are a woman? Be a lady, there is no place for kabovas here.
oh No #49 why dnt u find a circumcision web page
#47 Mya just goes to show you dont deserve to blogg if you insult. What kidn of a woman insults a fellow woman….dry. None of the men here seem to be insulting shame on you, grow up!
GOD HELP ZAMBIA AM TIERD OF THE TALKIN WITH PEOPLE IN ZAMBIA
Licious:- whoz a kabova you who wants other pipo to be answerable for death caused by a well known illness or ME.. grow up!! ALA!!
All the best Zambia
Look #57 Mya be diplomatic in the way you blogg that way people will respect you. #53 Licious is simply telling you not to have language like a kabova, there is a difference between wanting to know what transpired and insulting like a call boy pa Kulima Tower.

TRANSITION TO ELECTIONS – ZAMBIA AT CROSSROADS AGAIN
INTRODUCTION
Zambia is renowned to practice lawful and peaceful transition of power since 1964. Zambia has experienced three major transfers of executive powers, in 1964, 1991 and 2001 with admirable and efficient success.
Yet again Zambia seems to have reached that difficult cross-road when the nation hangs in a balance and its admirable quality is put to the test again. The gradual shift of power is now underway and it is hoped that it will remain peaceful and lawful as has been the case in the past.
Clearly this eventual but inevitable transition was kicked-off by an official ministerial statement in Parliament on Friday 8th Au
I was talking to RB yesternite, He says he has no vision
THe doctors have shown indepth knowledge about what was wrong with LPM.
What I find odd is that they have not stated what Zambians must buy for the UTH and other major hospitals so that they can do a better job at understanding what is wrong with their patients. I know that we must pay our doctors more money, but we must also give them the best technical tools to get their work done. Sad that LPM did not seem to have a will to make the UTH a greater hospital it desrves to be by investing in technical equipment and training for its operators.
I blame the leaders for treating their illnesses as private when at the end they die and still leave the nation scratching its head in confusion.
Doctors or whatever they call u just keep that rubbish to yourselves. knowing or understanding what could have happened to LPM does not change anything at this stage. You now want to show us that you are intelligent mwefipumbumwe!
I wonder why Mr Sikatana was fired on medical grounds and yet very well and kicking. This world is funny!!!!!
Does this really matter ….. now. LT gives news, not useless prognosis full of uncertainities.
when Brian Chituwo, Minister of Health, gave a detailed statement on the medical status of President Mwanawasa. This was prompted by FDD Vice-President and Chasefu Member of Parliament, Chifumu Banda’s scheduled question.
Dr. Chituwo, (a renowned medical practitioner himself, who was with President Mwanawasa in Sharma- El- Sheik, Egypt and Paris, France until recently) disclosed that Dr. Mwanawasa’s healing process will take ‘considerable a long time’ and that doctors attending to him ‘could not foretell as his life was now in the hands of God’.
Dr. Chituwo also disclosed that prior to this development; President Mwanawasa lived with other medical conditions of hypertension, diabetes and su
STROKE AND COMA –BRIEF MEDICAL FACTS
A Stroke
Of the 4 types of stroke, (Hemisphere, Pontine, Mid-brain and Cerebellar strokes/ – also classified as Ischemic, thrombotic, embolic and hemorrhagic strokes), the Mid-brain stroke is associated with brain haemorrhage and consequent coma
ba lt posting what quickly? i have even posted.Please improve.
A stroke is a medical emergency and can cause permanent neurological damage, complications and death. It is a rapidly developing loss of brain functions due to the disturbance in the blood vessels supplying the brain.
Guys shuwa need we go through this? Its not like it was a sudden death…moreover its not like it caught God by surprise.God knew about it and He had planned all this as early as genesis 1.
may the soul of our dear departed president rest in peace.besides this nothing else can be said,but lessons can be learnt.
If you die today, from what ever meets your fate .
what memories will you leave for your loved ones.?
what impact have you made to the human race?
what foundation did you lay for your siblings?
Are you in a more powerfull position of National interest in relation to decision making?
Check your self and then make sound decision even as you post on this blog.
Please let levy rest in peace. It can happen to any of us, only God knows.
Guyz! guyz! guyz! guyz! after following all that has been said i would say there is so much going on than meets the eye. Anomalies and all sorts of staff has been the order of the day. My challenge to you all is lets carefully select and rally behind one good candidate for the president. We dont want the Zimbabwe confusion here. Lets open dabate seriously this time to help us decide on the best presidential candidate. Let bye-gones be by-gones. Napapata whoever has more information concerning these candidates should share it ASAP. These may help us influence the selection of our new leader, a TRUE LEADER not malabishi aya yamene tiona please.
“UNZA-Failure” you’re really a failure. Your English and spellings are always BAD. Your blogs are mostly confrotational. Respect other pipo’s views. Some of us get wiser thru these blogs. Am thankful to LT for all their efforts. Personally I depend on LT for Zedian news.
oh my God, Ok! thanks to RICHIE’S WORLD. those who still want to go for the barial.am sure you still want some more body viewing PLEASE AM BEGGING YOU just go to RICHIE’S WORLD am sure it will be good if you stayed home
MHSRP
Your analysis of the situation has come rather late Docs. Nonetheles, we don’t want to make a similar mistake … can you therefore tell us what would happen to Mr Sata, with his medical condition, if he takes up the stressful office of president of this land?
#21 walasa! i said it the very day the withdrew the statement that he was dead. They should have told us there and then we would have taken it. He was brain dead and they were praying for a miracle. but hey life support is expensive and since we were not paying for it the french just said that it is time. mwe bantu imfwa yaishila abantu lets accept it and move on.
MHSRIP
I wonder too why Sikatana was retired on medical grounds when his still able as compared to Kapita….ba mwisho was also not straight there….. Good lucky honorable Sikatana!
My I know, is Rupiah Banda an MMD member or UNIP? What does the MMD constitution say on presidential adoptions. Lets not just usher Rupaih for the sake of keeping our jobs….the question is, is he really the right man….? there i dont know….can someone help!
I take it LT are relying on an anonymous medic for their story or have they picked up a text from some leading hospitals’ “Clinic rounds?”
The medical jargon used by the learned doctors can not be understood even by their grandfathers.They are blocking the water when the fish has passed.Kindly recommend what equipment should be bought for UTH.
Let us thank the Lord for the life of LPM. Because in the years that he ruled this country he aimed at serving the pipo.At least in every province, pipo are able to show one major project which he embarked on. ……….and for this reason let us pray your a leader who will continue developing our country for everyones benefit, not for one who will just be buying designer suits!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE SUM OF THEM**********
LT mwi la sebanya “Ridges”, from your story above, surmising an ischaemic stroke, I don’t think any of my peers would advocate a craniotomy. Well,one can never say never, but an ischaemic stroke necessitating a craniotomy, would mean a severe “global”(i.e. involving both hemispheres of the brain), event brought about by both carotids being occluded for quite some time, then the brain reperfused resulting in reperfusion injury leading to global brain swelling hence requiring intracranial pressure relief by way of craniotomy, this am afraid is mostly(if not only) seen in attempted suicides by hanging or asphyxiation.
bauze I think the story suggests mwanawasa had a hemorrhagic stroke not an ischemic stroke.
Ala litensha chalo.No one human being will ever claim to understand death,it will remain a mistry.death takes the most healthy and the very ill,the rich and the poor alike.Let us remain calm and responsible zedians.To the clever ones,let this death teach us lessons we will never forget.
May his soul rest in peace
PART 4 WHAT KILLED MWANAWASA?
1 STUBBONESS IFFITALA.. HE WAS TOLD IN 2001 PRIOR TO THE ELECTIONS BY KK NOT TO CONTEST THE ELECTIONS BUT HE WENT AHEAD..
2.MARRIED THE WRRONG WOMAN..MAUREEN WAS POWER HUNGRY SHE WANTED THE TASTE OF FIRST LADY.
3.WRRONG ASS PHYSICIANS.. I DONT EVEN KNOW WHY THEY WAS BEING PAID COZ THEY DID A BAD JOB..
4.IN 2006 HE SUFFERD A MINOR STROKE IN LONDON AND DOCTORS TOLD HIM TO STEP DOWN..BUT NOOOOO MAUREEEN TOLD HIM “COME ON BIG DADDY MAN UP U CAN DO IT…
can you stop insulting and continue bumalonda, ukupipa abakote lifting ifibokoshi and all the nonsense you do and yet you claim you are abroad.we expect you to be our ambassadors not the rude comments, bad language nabusangalatoni memakufi shame on u woooo
writing in capitals is rude incase you dont know go to etiquette school
who r u to say who he shd have married u jackass check ur partner i think urs is even a man gay slut
guys mwanawasa knew that he was sick but the guy went on even to stand for the second term imagine. he was supposed to retire after the first term but ka maureen and other bootlickers misled him and so he stood for the second term.
Interesting article it is.Well there is a strong posibility that Levy was availed all the information about his health,patients have got rights mind you one had to be mindful to intrude he was a head of state.Surprised me that much as FTJ was laughed at for going for frequent reviews in RSA there was nothing of the sort for Levy who had the bes treatment in UK.Suppose he was told to get back for reviews.The British are good at preventive treatment and thus partly why the life span is long.They control their cholesterol levels etc.What iam i saying?part of Levys situation could be honestly be attributed to himself.You do not play law with health.Lessons have to learnt.
People, lets jus rally behind Lupiya for our country’s sanity.
M.H.S.R.I.P he was a good president peace be with you Mr Mwanawasa. Everything happens for a reason lets just thank God for what he has in plan for our nation and for the next president He is going to gives our nation…
Please guys the doctor that was looking after mwanawasa for the last 6 years was suddenly retired in the National interest. Why because he told mwanawasa not to go to Egypt as he was note well. The end result is that mwanawasa had a stoke. Maureen then sent the challenger plane to collect the fired doctor who again on arrival told them that LPM was brain dead. However, Maureen insisted that LPM be taken to the best hospital in europa. Even the Chinese where consulted on what could be done. So please blame LPM and not his doctor.
Point of correction #27 we don’t say you really are a failure instead we say you are really a failure.
I totally agree with zambian in sydney, the first lady is totally to blame. He wanted to step down but she convinced him he was fit. He shuld have stepped down then, he could have lasted a few more years to walk his daughters down the aile.
It was about time. Umunenu alilwala. Let him go and rest.
Death is no respector of persons. I am glad LPM knew his
health was failing him and he knew that he was about to go.
He prepared for his death. The question to each one of you
is how prepared are you for you death…? Its coming you
better be ready. Give you life to Jesus.
