The opposition UNIP says Acting President Rupiah Banda ceased being their member when he joined the ruling MMD.
UNIP Deputy Secretary General Alfred Banda says the party’s constitution clearly states that any member who joins another party ceases to be a member of UNIP.
Reverend Banda says the Acting President is no longer a member of UNIP as he has already joined MMD.
He told ZNBC NEWS Friday that according to article 13 of the UNIP constitution, a member can privately or openly resign from the party and join a party of his choice.
ZANIS/ZNBC/ENDS/MM
This is politics of povberty. As long as RB did not denounce his membership, he is still UNIT. Its just 2-3 days when another UNIP member said RB is still UNIP. So whats happening. RB has corrupted Alfred Banda to say that. Shame to you RB. Viva Sata/HH merger
still we dont want you rb niba SATA tulifwaya
Tell the Truth not lies.Yesterday’s post you were qouted sayin RB is still UNIP.Now you have U-Turned shame on Zambian Politics.
Guys, did you know that Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe died of a stroke, on the 26th of January 1980,after trying to stand against Dr Kaunda in 1978 presidental elections.I hope there is no one manufacturing strokes in Zambia.Guys what are you comments,lets discuss.

SEE NOW HOW RB IS MISUSNIG PUPLIC FUNDS.ALFRED WE KNOW BESIDES THE MONEY HE HAS GIVEN YOU TO SAY THIS YOU ALSO WANT
TO BE PICKED LIKE HE WAS.ARE YOU AWARE THAT THERE IS SATA AND
HH IN THIS RACE.ZAMBIANS ARE NOT FOOLS.
Ba UNIP fipuba…so probably RB has promised this SG a job. Anyway, nizanu izo. As for us and the many Zambian voters I know that we are putting pa Bwato!!! By the way, did you hear RB’s message in Eastern Province? How can a man who is perceived to be a unifier say that the province should give him the largest vote on October 30 because he comes from there? Silly old man, tribal politics are still in your big head! For sure you are a UNIPST like you told The POST in 2003. Ask for votes based on your competence and not origins iwe Chimudala!. When Sata mentioned RB’s tribal tendencies some people condemned him but its barely two days and he is being vindicated. VIVA SATA VIVA SATA!
I think RB is not a UNIP member. he is an MMD MP and after all he is wining. So you guys whether you like it not, Sata is not presidential material. Honest how do you take a Kaponya mwamuika pa u president. mulefya uleta chaos nomba pa zed. RB its you turn.
That is sensible not what the POST Newspaper wrote.
If I was a journalist I would not waste much time writing what does not make sense.
If an employee who left a company more than 2 years ago and joined another company as deputy MD; how you as HR manager clain, “No he is still our employee because he did not resign officially”.
That would be extreme inefficiency on your part for not firing him for absenteeism for 2 years, honestly.
And a credible newspaper makes it as headline when you tell them, “No he is still our employee because he did not resign officially”.
How sad to the journalism profession to have some people in their circles!
The Post seem to be digging themselves in to a bigger hole! They have shown us that their success is based in politics of insults just to sell a few papers! As responsible and educated citizens, we should reject this Witch-hunt politics they are so used to. We have a single private Chinese firm wishing to invest $2billion in Luapula and North Western, these are the real issues people want to talk about and not the colour of underwear RB,HH MS is wearing! shame on them.
To hell with the Rupia Banda Government and that Mrs Njovu at the Moscow embassy.Moscow Zambian embassy was made from the family tree.now that the roots to the tree are gone,we hope things for students here in Russia will be better.By the way why not just build better universities at home than sending us here in winter colleges so that we freez broke!!!!!!plz help us guys before we become baggers pa Russia.5 months no money + snow!!!!!!!!!!
#11. I feel pity for you but the only solution is to kick the MMD guys out and the party which will come into power will consider your plight. Its sad news indeed. whats wrong with our governments? they give themselves huge allowances and forget completely about the grass roots like students abroad. Abash RH
The smear campaign by the Post on RB will only strengthen and help MMD to victory. All they are doing is give the MMD a favorable platform which will only benefit the campaign team. At the time when they are supposed to show maturity and show the rest of the world that in Zambia we are different, they decide to take the rules of the jungle. These guys are showing how shallow minded and selfish they are. One wonders how deep their hole is as they pride themselves as a paper that digs deeper???
#11 if I were you, I would elope to London for greener pastures and forget about GRZ. My cousin studied civil engineering in Russia in the late 90s and was in a similar position but after an apprenticeship in London, he found a job there and is now well settled.
UNIP to be back in power?hell nooooooooooo
i won’t come to zed if it happens. Banda has no proven records.people vote according to what leaders had achieved in the past.Unfortunaterly the past shows UNIP Banda did nothing 4 the country.He worked in all sectors of the govt and did nothing.Can he explain what he did in the past?Sata did something,history tells.HH also has no past records except being a kwacha billionair.The only past records which still stand 4 him are . 1 He came into politics through tribalism.2 He sold our mines to stupid investors(infectors).
If zed were USA Sata can win the presidential elections.I hope it’ll happen in zed,we don’t want UNIP again into power.
Symptoms are showing …Mr Banda has started the the game..Do u wanna play??? Yesterday he was a UNIP Member today he aint..
Some one got paid. “Things we do for money”.
That’s true. Ifyabusushi !! Chi RB is a UNIPist in MMD clothing ! Iwe ka # 8, RB is an MP !?!?! What’s his constiuency ?
The Rupia Banda Government has failed to give the students allowance, deserting more than 400 students based in Russia leaving them to face the savage winter on their own without financial or material help. Students argue that Russian law makes it impossible for foreign student to work. In a bid to buy school materials for the new academic year that opened half a month ago, this has led to various types of ativity among students male and female.
# 8 Zee.. Either u like it or not SATA has not failed anything…U failed me. out of all Zedians u shud know that the man can deliver no matter the language he uses and the face..I bet u r pretty.
Whatever! Sata is the man for Zambia. As local government minister, he planted flowers on cairo rd., provided accomodation through mezaf flats but was stopped on corruption charges. But what happened next? As health minister, he made UTH clean. He may not be that handsome to be president, but he can make people work.
# 17 Bebe..Ka # 8 Tapali ifyo kaishiba
Ladies and gentlemen, our brothers and sister in Russia have cried. If there is any government official checking this site please we appeal to you to convice the Minster of Education to send money to our fellow Zambians. We should not just waste money to compaign for useless and finished poeple but consider of students abroad. These brothers and sisters will come and develop zambia once they finish their studies.
Imwe RB said in 2003 ati he is a UNIPst and cn nt join antha party..thts y he is quite n ths,hs folish quite diplomacy is js rubish,he has kept quite n th salary hike 4 hs frnds and the closure of UNZA..
# 20 U know what u are talking about. RESPECT
no 8 take your foollishness to your home NOT HERE
#8. Stop being stupid. Maybe you are even part of the family tree and enjoying tax payer’s money when masses in zambia are suffering.
#11 thats a good point today i have not gone for lessons because of hunger.
This chi RB, we want to hear the official resignstion from UNIP. We want see it in writing. Otherwise if he were to win, you might hear him saying UNIP has bounced back in power!
Duh!!! ofcourse he’s no longer UNIP!, ba Post pls give us break & research your tuma headline news better nxt time! All you want is to malign RB, trust me don’t take his quiet diplomacy for granted! Mmembe, come Nov08, your ball$ will be toast…with all due respect!
Membe’s is surely out touch with reality,he’s being emotionally fuelled,
first he decampaigned Magande by openly going on the offensive against Rupiah,infact i would think Magande stood a chance if Fred had kept shut,
seems he hasn’t learnt his lesson,the more he attacks Rupiah the he’s campaigning for him,
what a poor sod,whatever made him think he’s such an influence of Zambian minds,i see a sad ending for the Post
VIVA SATA
It makes sad reading to see that most of us who post on this site are outside pa Zed. Those at home do little of posting to say the list, going by the flags on the postings. Is it that they have no interest at the happings or we have technology problems. Or is that they know little of the site?
M’membe and the Post deserve a lot more respect than this. I would recommend them for an award at the next independence day. What they have done for Zambia’s democracy is there for all with unbiased eyes to see. Not to say they are always right…but I think they try their best.
@ Baba L,
when was the last time you was home,the internet is still a luxury for most folk,
it’s not a necessity like in the near/far abroad,
such a pity
It’s very difficult to get a computer in Zed and very expensive to use internet. its easy use things like 3G, in Zed you would rather use the money to pay for this service to buy kapenta!!
#20 you forgot one more thing: when he was Lusaka governor, there was no transport crisis. He provided enough buses.
Ba RB, once you lose these elections, even MMD will deny you. Then what next?
Sata has a good CV
What is most embarassing is that all the comments are coming from Zambia’s economic refugees (Zed is at paece and therefore NO single Zambian CAN seek political asylum). You are all in the dispora seeking better education and health facilities. So whatever noise you are making especially the praises for the POST are misplaced.
Fred has done a lot for the Zambia media but he has now lost direction and is trying to use paper for his personal selfish stupidity and wife grabbing tactics to mislead the nation. It is a sham on the Zambian media including the fully trained journalist at the POST to be used but this gay accountant cum journalist and recently a lawyer to sway the nation.

# 38. Baba Lubuto “Sata has a good CV”
Which SATA are you talking about?
You mean the same SATA who is changing everyday?
Is that the CV you are proud of?
Tell us more, maybe he has stoped changing.
But if he has stoped changing, it means he stoped this morning.
Because even yesterday he was still potraying his unstable character.
Anyway, we will hear more on the news this evening..
you have to update your CV every now and then!
Ah! So, it is true that Fred is gay!!
It is a desperate attempt by ‘The Post’ to fend off a certain bash. They figure the best option would be support SATA whilst decampaigning RB.
SATA has promised protection to them and they have in turn promised to suppot his Prsidential aspirations.
SATA’s loss will confirm a certain doom for their debunked ‘Zambian Airways’.
at least you have seen what he can do when he has some little power. What more been president? Tell me what RB has done from UNIP to MMd
@ Zero Option #41,
And Sata is a polygamist… … tell me how many 1st ladies are going to have?????
or how many ‘mini state houses’ are we going to have for him to rotate among all his wives whilst fulfilling his conjugal duties?
care to explain???… … … …
#1 UBUNTUNGWA, STOP MINCING YOUR WORDS, YOU SOUND LIKE A BABY THAT HAS JUST LEARNT TO SAY ‘DADA’ ‘MAMA’. RB FOR PRESIDENT!
The Post Newspaper are SATA’s political Agenda mouth piece and this puts them on a war path with GRZ.
Surely, it easy to see how vulnerable and yet how unwise the Post Newspaper is.
On one hand, they are soliciting for favours from GRZ, on the other, insulting the same GRZ.
This is a grand example of how fallen they are in prniciple. They have thrown priciple and have embraced mediocrity.
#47 tel Sata to explain tht to u..im nt hs spokesperson..
#48. You are so.. When Nervers wanted to stand as president they said is not MMD. Since when did RB become MMD. Stop being… If he is your family tree to ..with RB. This time no rigging. Sata is winning.
Post Newspaper has always been immature and cheap in news reporting. It is the worst tabloid in Zambia. Opinions are childish and unprofessional.
The ‘Post Newspaper’ is now prostituting itself and has thrown ethics off board.
It is not difficult to see why.
Neither is it surprising to see them behaiving in this way. Mmembe would rather fight on than just give up.
He figures than he has gone this way before and he can still pull it off.
How desperate is he? To the extent of entering ‘A PACT WITH THE SATAN’
I really cry when I realise that my beautiful country has such a leadership crisiss to an extent we even talk of RB and Sata as potential presidents or presidential material. May God help us surely
Why was there no report of RB renouncing UNIP and joining MMD before? Surely, to a man of his position that was going to be great news. Mwanawasa crippled the MMD constitution by removing vice presidency and also by appointing a UNIP man for the republican vice presidency. RB is UNIP.

All of you in London, Washington, New York, Paris, Brussels don’t pretend to have found Nirvana. Most of you are security officers, shop keepers, cleaners, tellers etc. despite being educated by the same Zambia you complain about.
None of you is going to vote from there so your comments are of no value, Zambia is for Zambians in Zambia not you armchair critics who when things go wrong will turn around and blurt out some stupid comments.
If you don’t have a Zambian flag beside your comment, please comment on your new govt. wherever that may be.
@50 Option Zero,
then Rupiah must have explained to you that as widower he’s surely entitled to remarry a woman of his choice,i.e young,old,sweet 16,virgin etc
as far as i know he’s not committed any moral,religious or criminal offence,
unlike Sata who by the way professes to be a devout catholic,
divorce later on polygamy are outlawed by the catholic church not to mention smoking in any form, (yep! that includes his cigarettes and Chamba/bange/matokwani)
Thandiwe to my knowledge is an adult,a consenting one for that matter ,
so why not bleat about Sata’s somersaulting and spare us Membe’s tired and empty antics,
@ Sisala,
better watch out for them sucide bombers were you are,
Hamas means bzness my friend
The Post is fighting for survival.The letter s to the Editor are now written by the Editor.Zambians cant be fooled as they have seen this before with the UNIP govt. and at the height of FTJs third term Crusade.Why not leave the politicians to fight low and dirty while you stick to go back to professional and ethical journalism?In case you dont know,your support is a poisoned chalice for any presidential candidate.Ask Magande.
39 Smooth Criminal,indeed you are a criminal,most Zambians are suffering and cannot even afford internet and you foolishly calling us in the diaspora economic refugees.You have no brains.We live 100 times better than you!
#61 Opposition are too selfish to unite, give me a break! Cycle Mata is too much of a loose canon & HH knows this for a fact. So come Nov, like it or not, RB will carry the day. LPM (RIP) never really had a clear succession plan & is the reason we find ourselves in this mess. I never really understood his rationale for picking VEEP’s – Kavindele, Nevers, Mwape & RB…!!! I hope the next President will have a better succession plan, but given the vanity of African politics, that maybe too much to ask!!!
Guys, this is Sata’s time
HE IS DEFINITELY WINNING THE ELECTIONS(OCT, 30)
VIVA SATA PA BWATO
#63, Sisala, shani imiponto mudala? r u a relative of Zesco Sisala? 4rm the family tree…u chaps r screwed, LPM is no more & u will lose your positions very soon. U seem to be blogging 4rm Israel, or perhaps thats just your ISP proxy server, none the less, Zedians in the diaspora (unskilled/semi-skilled/professional) are all making a tangible contribution back home via remittances (totalling hundreds of $millions!) & supporting kin back home with education etc So pls get off your high horse…
Fellow Bloggers…there is no need to be emotional here…the fact is that the majority of Zambian voters are illiterate with cadre mentality..that is why we shall never have a good president in many years to come..Late Mwanawasa TRIED but……SO MY ADVICE..JUST CONCENTRATE ON YOUR LIFE BECAUSE RB,SATA OR HH WILL NOT FEED YOUR TUMMY!!!!!! KEEP YAPPING

I think guys, we ought to think deep if we have to move forward as a nation. I am always surprised to see how easily people are swayed to sides that at times make very little sense. I know that it may be difficult for thr right person to win this by-election, but all in all a good and patriotic Zedian would pick on a candidate who had real creditibility. And l know that between RB and MCS, MCS is more credible than RB. RB to me has failed to provide true and honest leadership , especially when he had to allow himself and his fellow fatties to have their salaries raised when LPM was incapacitated. Oh, what a shame, if we shall trust our affairs to suc a selfish person.
RB 4 president!go MMD
Come November 1, 2008 Rupiah Gezani Banda will be sworn-in as Zambia’s 4th President. You can rant all you want be I can assure you Micheal Chilufya Sata will never president of the republic of Zambia.
Am sure soon after his swearing-in ceremony he will use the challenger and the increased allowances to travel to the countries where you are forwarding your comments from. “No Zambian outside the country is eligable to vote” so says Electoral Code of Conduct. So I see no sense in defranchaised voters are forcing their prefered candidates to the electorate.
Power kubantu and RB is already president.
Who can refuse that RB is a racist.He was quoted by the post saying:Of course I expect that the Eastern Province will give me the biggest vote so that anywhere where there will be a deficit, the vote from Eastern Province will cover.”
Vice-President Banda asked the easterners to vote for him, their own son.
“I am from you; I have my late mother here, my grandparents here, my brothers, my children,my grandchildren.”I want to thank my colleagues who have come with me here to support me to show you that they will carry me to all the provinces of Zambia in order to ask for their votes which I am sure if we ask the people properly, if we work hard and walk door-to-door they will give us that supp

i feel for the guys in russia. i dont know wats wrong with these people in govt.if u are failing to provide for these students, why did u send them there in the first place. after 30 OCT MMD will be an opposition political party. mark my words.
From the stand # 87yes you are a tribalist and racist yourself.boma ni boma mwana..
I just recently learnt that the flags on your postings are indicative of where all u cowards who are posting comments are taking your economic refuge or is it asylum from. Its amazing how unpatriotic punks like you who deserted this country when it most needed you can have the nerve to comment on what is going on here and attempt to sway the opinion of the voting zambian public with your silly ideas and base thoughts. All you talk about is nothing but crap. Leave the debate to us who have weathered the storm here back home. Come on guys give us a break and apply that crap to your host countries that you do slave labour for.
Guys watchout we ve got the father of rapist RB is one of them lockup your girl child .Cause RB cannot marry someone who is more less like umwishikululwa guys say something about this ba teenager bakatampe nokulatusalula fwe bakalamba.
@ The Fake…#88,
Prepare yourself for a series of strokes my friend,
there’s noway MMD is losing these polls,
hook or crook,combined opposition or not MMD is winning,
poor fellow,i can picture you ranting and frothing about how the elections have bn rigged by the MMD on Nov 2nd,
but as usual life will drift along afterwards … … …
Tongas want to rule because they cant work with other tribes “Chief Mwanachingwala of the tonga said the previous appointments of non Tonga speaking leaders had seriously affected traditional and political implications on the ruling MMD in the area.
He said all the Chiefs in the rea will now rally and support Mr Munkombwe to foster development in their respective chiefdoms.” source lusaka times

Banda wants Sata to retire
By Chibaula Silwamba and Christopher Miti in Chipata
Saturday September 13, 2008 Print Article Email Article
VICE-President Rupiah Banda yesterday said it will be nice to defeat Patriotic Front (PF) presidential candidate Michael Sata so that he retires from politics.
And Vice-President Banda, who hails from Eastern Province, said he expects the highest number of votes from this province to offset any deficits he might have in other provinces.
Addressing people who welcomed him at Chipata Airport, Vice-President Banda – in an apparent reference to the PF and Sata – reminded the people that a certain opposition par
Here is my earnest appeal to RB. In the same way you are proposing to reduce fuel prices please consider reducing income tax (which also is one of the highest in the region) as this is the bone of contention for the Lusaka and Copperbelt provinces’ electorate where Sata has a stronghold among the working class. You do that and you would have finished him off and secured my vote. Last time in the 2006 elections I voted PF. Why? First of not because I agree with all of Sata’s ideas but simply because he at that time was proposing to reduce our PAYE, increase mineral royalties and introduce other taxes for the mines as he said this in a way would relieve us from our tax bondage which we give M
There is nothing wrong with Mr Rupiya Banda expecting the highest number of votes because the people of Eastern Province are always ready and willing to work with other tribes in Zambia or other countries.They even have joint traditional ceremonies with other countries a sign of unity.
lADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!!!
THE ISSUE HERE IS NOT WEATHER RB IS UNIP OR MMD.IT MUST BE VERY CLEAR THAT NONE OF US WERE PRESENT WHEN HE AGREED TO BE VEEP TO LPM.THE ISSUE SHOULD BE HIS CREDENTIALS !!WHAT HAS HE DONE FOR MOTHER ZED SINCE HE WAS A LEADER .WHY NOW!!
ZAMBIA WISE UP UNIP IS REGROUPING IN THE NAME OF LEVY’S LEGACY.SHIBUKENI ZEDIANS.THOUGH I MUST STATE THAT I DONT AGREE WITH MEEMBE’S OUTBURSTS ON RB.MEMBER HAS LOST JOURNALISM ETHICS.MEEMBE I DONT WANT TO WISH YOU BAD BUT KNOW THAT EVERY DOG HAS ITS OWN DAY.PEACE TO MOTHER ZED
Magande and his HIPC completion point credit for. Magande found PAYE at about 30% but has never reduced it even when he has been trumpeting unprecedented economic growth. It’s still at 37%. Please take it back to where you found it or even to 20% as the resources are there and instead of rewarding yourselves hefty allowances. The extra revenue from the mining windfall tax is not for politicians’ benefit but for the people of Zambia. I hope that wasn’t their basis for the proposed allowances for constitutional office holders. And please don’t you pay attention to the comments from bloggers with foreign flags they don’t live in Zambia and probably foreigners who won’t be able to vote, worse fo
#90 DX what a fool you are yourself. Your flag suggests you are abroad and you’re passing those comments about your friends in the diaspora. You seem to know more about slaving labour for others. Dude, do you work in an old age home or what? Wiping up them old asrses and cleaning out they hemorrhoids? How dare you open your trap here, talking about unpatriotism. You do try to be clever but you are exposing unacceptably low levels of idiocracy. Go back home and we’ll belive you’re a patriot. What’s all this hatin today about people in the diaspora?
Why the fuss about wheather RB is UNIP or MMD. The bottom line is the he is standing and winning on the MMD ticket so lets discuss real developmental issues. To hell with HH and the mad warthog (Sata) who has no priciples, vomit the post and eat back the post..
deleted by LT
continued from #97 and #100 ……worse for them if they are in the USA because once they get out they won’t be able to go back again because they are probably illegal immigrants. So rest assured they are not voting, no electronic voting in Zambia yet.
#90, DX read #60 my comments on #39 who shares the same haters complex with you.
Easy gentlepipo, there is what they call renewal of membership every year in the different parties, the question should be, did RB renew his membership in UNIP in the last one year? If so, then he needs to formally resign from the party, if not then he left the party by virtue of not renewing his membership. As long as I remember you do not join a party for life: this is only natural reasoning let us not complicate things. Of course my fear is that RB does not seem to have a stable and alert mind, he might just have a senior moment and shout “and that leader, doctor Kaunda wamuyaya” or “KK no Change”!
The flags do not show where are but has to do with our internet swervice providers.Ask Lusaka times by email and they will tell you. I also got annoyed when I saw fun flag on my name.
My main contribtion anyway is that HH is naive politically and does not know when to seize oppotunities. As a UPND candidate he will never become a republican president, cut my finger if he does. Mazoka realised that issue and that is why he looked for help from other parties. HH and UPND must support Sata with his PF . I repeat this again Sata is not a stupid person, he is very much changed man who has realised the importance of reconciliation. HH must swallow his pride and work with Sata.
There is a window of opportunity which God has openned deliberately for us to change the govt. If HH has not seen it and believes that he will win the republican presidency now then let him go back to run his businesses. People have been calling for PF and UPND to join hands to remove MMD from power but it seems HH is just obsessed with state house. he has no enough MPs to form a govt. What I am relaibly told by those who know HH is that he thinks he knows it all and what ever he thinks and says is right. In politics things do not work like that. If MMD wins it will be HH to blame. I am tonga by the way and am seeing things from realisic point of view not swayed by my tribe.
if as husband,i die today and insteady of leaving my wife as estate manager[administrater],my will calls for a distant friend to oversee my belongings.what does that suggest to u fellow zambians?
when are we likely to shun fetch and shallow politics.rev banda sir,u are a man of God,lets call a spade..spade.RB our acting pres.could not sneak privately from unip if he was scot free.hope u are not supporting him with a view of having UNIP affiliated to MMD and rule indirectly.
can the other Banda just shut up. Why ddn’t RB tell us about UNIP rules himself. Balamulandilako shani?
if private sneaking from a party is constitutional in UNIP,I will say its very awful and sad and calls for amendment.with this trend we expect croockedness and opaque in all UNIPISTS.
The sense of morality is not seen in this article of unip constitution.gone are the days we upheld collonaial ways of approching issues
I wonder if RB will last he seems to be developing a stroke.
Rupiya banda is still unip.Guys nangu tamwakwata aba kusala kuti wasala unip?Dont cheapen yourself ifimano fya kale.
#7 you’ve hit the nail on the head. This fools are so dul that they run their mouths without consideration. We have been speaking of Unity in the country and these dul of Man start speaking of the divide and rule politics. The statements he made in Eastern province are reckless and foolish. If you are not from Eastern provice, you can not make a difference. How is he going to sell himself in other 8 provinces if people in these different province takes up the same position?
RB is a chancer and he is going to finish all the teenagers in hood take care of them . difiler aisa bane.
#114 i agree with you this RB is a tribalist, what he means is that any eastener should go for him, indeed he is foolish.
UNIP changed its stance regarding RB UNIP membership after reading its own constitution. I suggest that every Zambian should read and understand the Zambian constitution and any organization’s constitution if the belong to one. Ignorance should not be an excuse.
What right does Sata have to accuse RB of tribalism? If Sata is not a tribalist why did he ignore Southern, Western and North-Western Provinces in his 2006 campaign? Why is he using Hutu type propaganda against RB by saying RB was born in Southern Rhodesia? It seems to me that in Zambia, only Bemba speakers are the ‘true Zambians’ and non-Bembas are foreigners; A recipe for a Rwanda or Srebrenica type genocide
VIVA SATA VIVA PF,NI PA BWATO FYE ZEBIGE!THE HOUR HAS COME FOR MAKE MONEY AND DISSAPEAR[MMD]TO LEAVE GOVERNMENT,COME NOVERMBER PF IS FORMING GOVERNMENT AND I JUST HOPE KA MULONGOTI GOES INTO OPPOSITION AND SEE HOW LOUD HE CAN OPEN HIS MOUTH.
#22 and your Russian friends pliz gone are the days when poor govts like Zambia paid for their students.We won’t even see that education of yours bcoz your will just settle elsewhere.So get a JOB and pay for your school like we do here in the USA okey.By the way stick to the topic at hand.Thanx
Zambian airways issue very interesting;passengers pay the levys as indicated on the passenger tickets. Zambian airways as an argent failed to remit on customers behalf;shareholders zambian airways nchito brothers plus others.Nchito brothers were heavily paid by GRZ as private prosecutors-billions of kwacha.zambian airways needs to understand the bussiness rules and I can conclude that there was so much LPM interference at NAC resulting in this situation.Let NAC and Zairways resolve this bussiness wise.
GUYS YOU ALL BEHAVE LIKE GRADE 2 OR 3. HOW CAN SAY PA BWATO, CAN ANYTHING GOOD COME FROM A SMOKER, A BULLY, A AND POWER HUNGRY PERSON. WHY DID SATA LEAVE MMD. BECAUSE HE IS POWER HUNGRY, A BULLY, WITH MUGABE POLICIES. MULEFYA KWACHA NOMBA IBENGA ZIM DOLLAR. VIVA RB VIVA RB
Rb you will not get my vote bcoz you are a chancer.GO PF go we are with you all the way no matter what they say aba bakabwa.
What would people say if HH Sata to Rupiah’s words of tribal affiliation? What manner of man is this? Does he really think we from other regions will be willing to vote for him after those tribal sentiments? Is this why he even took 500 bags of mealie-meal and 100 bales of sugar to Katete? This is mind-boggling!
AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED I AM NOT VOTING AND THESE ELECTIONS WILL NOT AFFECT ME IN ANYWAY..SO I REALLY DONT CARE WHO WINS BECAUSE NOTHING WILL CHANGE IN THIS COUNTRY WHOSE FUTURE WILL BE DETERMINED BY TETA,MULONGOTI,MPOMBO, ETC THE BEST MINISTERS IN THE WORLD…LEGACY??/?/?/????/??
OOHHHH I FORGOT MUNKOMBWE
ACTUALLY MULONGOTI SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE MMD CANDIDATE…..ZAMBIA CAN NEVER DEVELOP WITHOUT THE VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION OF MULONGOTI….HH my man if i were you i would concentrate on making money and enjoying myself..Let Zambians suffer for their voting mistakes….VIVA MULONGOTI LIFE PRESIDENT
Of all the presidential candidates, RB seems to be mature! He has and is handling the the situation so well during the mourning of our former leader. However, I have concerns now that he seems to be backed by the unthoughtful Mpombos and other malicious MMD leaders. It’s a shame! This leadership crisis will never end if the electorates don’t awake to know the caliber of folks standing the elections. The docility of Zambians is costing the country too much. When are we going to wake up? Well, RB is the better of the worst candidates participating right now though.
#125 What are you talking about? Are you now a foreigner? Don’t surely tell your children that elections do not affect them in anyway please….or are you one of those with no family and has changed their nationality? Or if still a Zambian, do you think that since your uncle is very rich then politics dont affect you? Think just for a moment how things would be if all Zambians thought like you? We would this time have pipo like Chama Chakomboka (RIP),even Mpombo (wa mpanga) ruling us
People we are talking about 13 milion Zambians.This chap RB has no princple or morals sorry to say this to my grand father. Please can some one tell me the vision RB has for the nation
RB is the best of the current worste three(HH,MS,RB). This election is too sudden for any new entries to make an impact.
While you are maliciously in personality overdrive, Rupiah Banda unveils economic masterplan…
WITH his national address on radio and television on Tuesday night, acting President Rupiah Banda effectively asserted his authority and appears intent on galvanising the country out of the hangover from the 21-day period of mourning president Levy Mwanawasa.In the wake of president Mwanawasa’s demise in a French hospital on August 19, and his subsequent burial on September 3, a 21-day period of national mourning was declared which ended on September 9.In his inaugural national address as acting president broadcast on Tuesday on State television and radio, Mr Banda unveiled his key issues of
While you are maliciously in personality overdrive, Rupiah Banda unveils economic masterplan…
Mr Banda unveiled his key issues of attention during the transition period leading to the forthcoming presidential by-election, and also touched on a number of areas needing immediate attention.The main sectors of his concern include: economic policies, the constitution-making process, human rights, public service management and performance of the media, especially in the run up to the presidential polls, which the acting president set for October 30, 2008.
RB is a real chancer, Dont vote for him coz He has no vision for our country.He’s only fit to be a village headman .
only fools will vote for him
Economic policies
On the economic front, Mr Banda says his administration would seek to build on the late president’s pro-market economic policies, that had led to significant achievements in almost all sectors.Over the last seven years of Dr Mwanawasa’s reign, Zambia recorded an annual economic growth of five per cent, and for the first time in 30 years, inflation remained in single digit throughout 2007 while the Kwacha greatly appreciated against major convertible currencies.
Dr Mwanawasa re-introduced national development planning, which was abandoned during his predecessor, Frederick Chiluba’s 10-year-rule, and in 2006 launched the Fifth National Development Plan (FNDP) as well as the Vision 2030. The FNDP is credited among other things, for the speedy economic recovery that the country has attained at macro-level over the last two years, while the Vision 2030 remains a guide for the country’s progress from a poor income to a middle-income status by 2030.
“These hard-earned economic strides have been appreciated in the international financial circles to the extent that Zambia is now poised to have a sovereign credit rating for the first time ever,” said Mr Banda. “We are determined to continue with the implementation of prudent economic policies to score even more successes particularly a rapid reduction in poverty among our people.”The country’s inflation, however, early this year slipped back into double digits on the back of the global food shortage and escalating fuel prices. The upswing in fuel prices resulted in Zambia, as a non-oil producing country, experiencing a sudden upsurge in the prices of all essential commodities including foo
I repeat! ONLY FOOLS ARE FOR RB
The acting president has called for the re-examination of fuel prices in Zambia, and has taken cognisance of the fact that the oil prices on the international market has started reducing.“I has directed the ministers of Finance and National Planning and Energy and Water Development to sit together and examine the matter with a view to reducing the price of fuel,” Mr Banda said.
138. SHI MUMBI,
But your mother and father are in the camp.Your mum will even be dancing at Kasama airport in reception of the incoming President Banda.If all those million patriots in support of continuity, unity and prosperity inclusive Government are fools,then that foolishness starts with your own blood parents and you by blood carry that foolishness.
Energy
Energy plays a pivotal role in the socio-economic development of the country. But the country in recent years has experienced disruptions in the form of power-outages which have triggered a public outcry impacting negatively on the overall performance of the economy.In order to address these constraints, Mr Banda disclosed that in the short-term Government was undertaking a rehabilitation programme at Kafue Gorge and Kariba North Bank power stations respectively.
As much as I respect pipo’s opinions, Pragmatist is so myopic in the way He looks at this political race.Just this short time RB has been acting, He has made silly mistakes such going ahead with salary increments for constitution office holders,I mean this is ABSURD.
The work at Kafue Gorge power station is expected to be completed before the end of the year, while work at Kariba North Bank will be over by March next year. The two projects will result in an increase in power generation while reducing on power deficits.In addition, new power stations are earmarked for construction in the wake of the growing economy. These areas include Kafue Gorge lower, Kariba North Bank extension, Kalungwishi, Kabompo and Itezhi- tezhi hydro-power projects.In an effort to promote alternative power sources, Mr Banda’s administration will encourage the production and utilisation of bio fuels and solar energy.
Agriculture
During Dr Mwanawasa’s reign, in which Mr Banda served as vice-president in the last term, the agriculture sector consistently posted an annual surplus crop on maize.This year, Government has already started distributing farming inputs under the Fertiliser Support Programme (FSP). The State has since increased the subsidy from last year’s 60 per cent to 75 per cent, while the number of beneficiaries under the Food Security Pack has risen from 150,000 to over 200,000 peasant farmers this year.The sector still remains one of the key priority areas of the country.“We shall continue to implement the policies and programs of our departed president … the ultimate goal is to ens
… the ultimate goal is to ensure sustenance of household and national food security,” said Mr Banda, adding that his administration would continue to develop agricultural extension and research services.
Mining
The mining industry is undoubtedly, Zambia’s economic lifeblood, accounting for 80 per cent of the country’s foreign earnings. Zambia has over the last five years experienced massive investments in the sector following the record prices of copper on the world market.Major investments include Chingola’s Konkola Deep Mining Project, Solwezi’s Lumwana Copper Mining Project and Kansanshi Mining Project. Others are Mulyashi Copper Project in Luanshya and the Munali Hills Nickel Project in Mazabuka. Analysts say other than the favourable policies, the influx of investments in the mining sector has also been prompted by the rise in copper prices on the world market. Copper prices have sin
Government early this year upped the royalty tax from 0.6 per cent to the global norm of three per cent, thereby significantly increasing earnings from the country’s chief export, copper.All mining companies have since reiterated commitment to continue their operations in the country, according to Mr Banda.“I want, in this regard, to assure both local and foreign investors that there will be no departure from the current policies and focus in the mining sector,” he said.
Media
The media, which is the Fourth Estate of government, has consistently offered widespread coverage of the national mourning period with both the public and private media highlighting various programmes around the life of the late president.Without the media’s active involvement in the burial programme of the late president, Mr Banda said the public would have been starved of the vital information that was required to keep them updated on all the funeral events.
# I am a real Zambian and I support HH. If HH fails to win,then RB is my next option.Hon. Sata failed us at UNZA – long closures between 1996 and 1999)when, he was Minister without Portfolio. He (Sata) sponsored kulima Tower call-boys to beat up UNZA students and anyone who wa not in support of Chiluba’s MMD. Sata organised thusgs with Machetes with Lusaka especially Chawama to beat and possibly kill anyone , especailly UNZA students, who didn’t support the Chiluiba third term bid – which Sata was seeing as an opportunity to silence his friends and then ASSUME MMD presidential nomination which Chiluba later destroyed by handpicking LPM. To bad Hon. Sata, it is too late to mend his CV.
The acting president has pledged to continue providing a conducive policy, legal and institutional framework for the development of a free media on the basis of free expression of views being fundamental to good governance.Government will also continue with the policy of liberalising the media industry for continued private sector participation. In this respect, the review of media laws will continue in a quest to find an appropriate media legislation that will enhance freedom of expression.
Please, can we have the would-be first ladies address the Nation, Zambia, on what plans they have for the nation as a whole.
Constitution
The late president Mwanawasa fought hard for the country to have a people-driven Constitution that could stand the test of time. Following Dr Mwanawasa’s death, there has been growing anxiety among citizens concerning the ongoing constitutional reforms through the National Constitutional Conference (NCC) with some people calling for its dissolution.Mr Banda has, however, reaffirmed his government’s commitment to the process, saying it would continue to its logical conclusion.
Such is the enormity and versatility of the master plan that the acting president has unveiled for the country!
While you are maliciously in personality rhetoric overdrive, Rupiah Banda cognizant of time at hand to canvas the whole country unveils economic masterplan…, is with zambians hour after hour, day after day and event after event through ground and air wars.As a seasoned Diplomat, he knows that personality rhetoric has no dividends in the ballot.
Such is the enormity and versatility of the master plan that the incoming CEO or President has unveiled for the country!
HH WABOLA November 2008, Zambia FORWARD.
“Vote UPND’s HH for economic independence, a NEW and JUST Zambia. Where the Zambia people will move with their heads high as the PRIDE of this World after 30 or so years of hardships under the leadership of cold-heartless crooks and thieves whose education can hardly be traced.
Vote for educated people like HH and RB as opposed to those without tangible classroom background for EDUCATION showed that educated Americans put men on the Moon.

#162. russia moscow,
I see that evryone wants to talk on everything with or without understanding.
A person with understanding will tell you that if a country was experiencing drought, and eventually there is good rain and farmers plant a lot of food and other cash crops, that means there is an upward shift in the economy even before harvest.
If there was no capital injection in the economic activities in the country, but you begin to see investment coming in then there an upward shift in the economy.
If you were very hungry and someone gives you food, your situation has chnged even b4 you eat the food.
So why do you want the poor to finish b4 you can see a shift in the economy?
Lets hear from you RB fans…he is campaigning on tribal lines and busy distribution Sugar and mealie meal in Katete. Anyway, since Zambia is Katete let him continue. He will rule with Katete votes ONLY. VIVA SATA VIVA SATA.
Why must GRZ always seek HH’s expertise as a consultant when HH can easily do it as his job in the name of President of Zambia.
On the otherhand, both Hon. Sata and RB are old and we do not wnat to stress any of them – so much as to endanger their lives. Secondly, Sata changes his position anyhow anytime to suit his quest to get into Plot 1. What do you think Hon. Sata will do now that he failed to do under Chiluba when he was Minister without Portfolio except to try to silence then anti-MMD people (especially UNZA students) by using thugs from Chawama and Kulima Tower.
PRAGMATIST’S CONTRIBUTION READS LIKE A VERBOSE BUT ULTIMATELY IRRELEVANT TEXT. RB SHOULD NOT HANG ON TO THE COATTAILS OF THE LATE PRESIDENT.ZAMBIA’S ECONOMIC PROGRESS WAS WELL UNDER WAY BEFORE RB JOINED THE TEAM.IF HE IS THAT GOOD HOW COME HE NEVER STOOD FOR PRESIDENT IN HIS YOUNGER YEARS?IT IS DISAPPOINTING THAT YOUNGER CANDIDATES ARE NOT GETTING THE SAME LEVEL OF PUBLICITY AS THE 2 OLD TIMERS.ZAMBIA NEEDS , HEALTHY, ENERGETIC LEADERSHIP WITH FRESH IDEAS UNTAINTED BY THE PAST.TRIBAL ORIGINS HAVE NO RELEVANCE IN MODERN ZAMBIA,THE COLONIAL GOVT USED THE TO KEEP US DIVIDED.
RB IS THE RIGHT MAN NOT CONFUSED SELF CENTRED ILL LOOKING PEOPLE IN THE NAME OF SATA .ONCE SATA GETS INTO STATE HOUSE THAT WILL BE THE END OF ZAMBIA WE SHALL BE WORSE OF THAN ZIM.SATA IS THE NUMBER ONE TRIBALIST THATS WHY HE DOES NOT EVEN CARE TO SOLICIT VOTES IN NORTH WEST ,I SEE THAT MAN CLOSING THOSE MINES IN SOLWEZI COZ HE HAS A BONE TO CHEW WITH THE PROVINCE WE KNOW HIM .VIVA RB,VIVA MMD
129….i am happy my message has sunk in you kumutima…what i am saying is that there is definately wrong with our political system which is cadre inclined or is it cadre aligned..so why should i vote in elections which will be determined by cadres who are fanatical and not well informed. i can see that even some people on this blog are fanatical so country men and women..its survival of the fittest. Cadres and i mean ordinary cadres are among the people who suffer most in this country and rightly so because they vote wrongly…by the way i am a zambian in zambia but i am also a citizen of the world and my skills are sought after the world over so why should i suffer because of cadres…
i agree with #164. #4 let sleeping dogs lay. you do not know that kapwepwe was killed by the state machinery!. like RB had intimated to us in 2006 in that interview with webster that they “dealt” with anybody who oppossed the system. remmber old habits die hard, so RB will repeat UNIP traits wen in office. watch out……
I REPEAT AS LONG AS WE HAVE THIS SYTEM OF POLITICS…I AM NOT VOTING AND WILL NEVER VOTE BUT CONCENTRATE ON MY LIFE AND CHARITY WORK. HH my man do the same at least GOD WILL REWARD YOU IF YOU CAN DONATE THOSE MILLIONS YOU ARE WASTING TO GOOD CAUSES…BY THE WAY AS THINGS STAND ESPECIALLY THAT HH AND SATA ARE GOING THEIR SEPARATE WAYS RB will go thru…….I REST MY CASE….let me now go back and do something productive to better my life…BYE FOR NOW
i thought it would be right to just look at a number of issues blogged. Firstly i am displeased with those tjhat have acces to the net just to insult others as to get their points heard..shame.
#73 are you really in russia and coming to vote?
I was shocked with the Post’s editorial. For a long time i never bought GRZ papers because the Post was there for me. With their editorial on RB( yet there were so many other candidates that stood), i concluded something was wrong with Post. Why did the Post attack RB and not other contestants? When Sata addresses people in Bemba that seems that is ok with the Post. I’d have thought that they should have put that side by side with RB’s accusations of
being tribal. Fred M’memebe has been married before. He divorced Josephine and started living with an american woman(unconfirmed). We have heard all sorts of stories of him picking Tasinthas (unconfirmed again)but his paper wants to malign others as though he were a saint. One is bound to say that Fred is not the issue at hand. zambians those that run newspapers have a duty. Like one of their editorials, they said personality was critical and that is exactly my point. How do we get swayed by the writings of such a one?They spoke of RB marrying his granddaughter.I am told Thandiwe is in her thirties and as such a consenting adult. Why is she not being attacked for marrying her grand father?
Sata is believed to be having two wives and you wonder how the two first ladies will live in state house.how many first beds, bedrooms?
So much has been said about salaries. I thought RB refused to sign this bill. Executive Issues stated how RB invited Reggies Phiri to explain to cabinet the mood in the country over the salaries. Yet we go on and on discussing non-issues.
#89 says Sata is credible wait and read the following….
Instigated the matchetting of fellow zambians in Chawama simply because they were supporting Geoffrey samukonga from FDD.
Have you forgotten who the chola boys for third term were? Sata haunted Generals Tembo and Miyanda out of MMD. so that he could enahnce his
chances of succeding FTJ.
Sata got govt money and put in his personal acct at Standard Charted in order to earn interest for himself.
Who ferried the infamous K2Bn to the MMD convention?
What was sata’s comments over the chinese? Now he has sommersaulted.
Mine Tax..what does his manifesto say? See #97. At first he agreed that the govt must get some tax from mines. Later he wrote president LPM that the MMD govt should not go ahead. What is his position now????I would go on cataloguing the yo-yo behaviour of Sata.
Dont demonise HH and his money earned from consultancy over the sale of Luanshya mine. If there was an agreement and all concerned parties agreed, there is nothing wrong with that.
Ba Lupiya abamoneka kwati ni Datsun 120Y for president??? Zambians be serious and vot wisely
#39 you are what youare coz you are a criminal,we pipo outside zambia who are commenting on what is happening in zambia are PARTROITIC ZAMBIA and we have family there whom we are always in touch and we can influence them to vote for right candidate in this case SATA VIVA SATA
#179 is right. HH was given a job to do with specific guidelines from the privatisation agency and he delivered and got paid. Even today the Nchito brothers are geting K100+ million per month from the Task force on corruption and it will be wrong to call themm thieves tomorrow. People may not like it but in this election HH is the best candidtate and you can see comments from his opponents are baseless. If the Sata camp want to personalise the issue you say so we shall attack. We have the ammunition. For now I want to restrict my self to look at what Sata, HH and RB have to say on investors, education and health. I know that HH and Sata look at these issues differently.
Sata dimonises education by calling accountants calculator boy. He thinks to be president education is irrelevant. Sata wants allign Zambia away from China, the super power, when clever nations are more and more aligning themeselves with China. Sata introduced the health paying scheme which today has seen many people die because they can not raise maney. In 2006 i told a friend of mine who supported Sata of this policy and last month his auntie died at UTH because they had not paid for treatment. This is despite the fact that he had assuered the hospital that he was on his way to settle the bill. Today he does not even want to hear the word or name Sata.
RB left UNIP ages ago. He couldn’t take the nonsense of turning a political party into a dynasty/moanrchy. People don’t want to believe it now that he is acting president. I think you can check minutes of UNIP meetings held and go back 10 years, you’ll find he wasn’t there. Why do you think so many of the UNIP stalwarts have left, not because their broke or poor but the fact that they cannot condone having a weak president purely based on his gene pool. Perhaps the late Wezi could’ve done something with the party not this muppet, who has to be told by his parents to step down…Catch the drift about the dynasty syndrome?!!!
If people want to waste their votes on someone who was insulting Zambians recently and wanted to change the constitution to suit him and FTJ until his plan backfired, then that part of electorate are sadists. If you want to be adventurous and waste your vote on someone with no politcal experience good luck. Whilst you cast your votes really think about the safety of your country. Mr. Sata instigated violence when he was in Govt. What makes you think that he won’t do the same when you start questioning his policies,unless there are some who are itching for violence. Historically, we’ve been a peaceful nation, let’s keep it that way please.
No. 182 says that HH was given a job with guidelines and only executed it. So were the Gestapo in the Third Reich, should we therefore excuse them? A true patriot would have said I will not carry out a flawed privatisation just for the love of money.Obama in the USA could have taken a lucrative legal job but instead chose to champion the cause of the poor by becoming a community worker in Southside Chicago. We should look at what motivates some of these candidates. Are they there for the people’s interests or their own?
