Electoral Commission of Zambia, ECZ, Chairperson, Florence Mumba, says her recent visits to the Office of the President were part of the Commission’s procedure in holding national elections.
Justice Mumba has explained that she recently met Acting President, Rupiah Banda, on two occasions in line with the necessary procedure in an event of national elections.
Justice Mumba told ZANIS in a statement this evening that her first meeting with Mr Banda was to discuss the possible date for the Presidential elections in view of the school examination calendar.
She also indicated that on the second occasion the meeting was called to advise the Acting President on the preparedness of the Commission to meet the target within the 90 day period in accordance with the law.
She said the two meetings were held before the ruling MMD elected Mr Banda as its candidate in the Presidential elections.
“The meetings were held before the Acting President was elected by the National Executive Committee of the MMD as its Presidential Candidate,” read Justice Mumba’s statement.
Who has asked the Justice to exculpate?
PA Zed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oookey!
I think the Constitution should stipulate that such meetings should also include all contestants….at least for transparency and credibility.
here we go, why not meet all other heads of political parties?
Sata 52%
Banda 36%
HH 10%
Spoiled 2%
mmhh, something fishy here!!!!
she has alread shown her weekness
Imwe shuwa for crying out loud like it or not Banda is the ACTING REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT DOES HE NEED PERMISSION TO SEE ANYONE? The lady Judge here has been asked by opposition people why she met Banda and that is why she is explaining. She is even honest enuf, give me that job I will tell you to go to h*** as there is still plenty of space for the likes of the opposition in zed politics. Ki ma rubbish.
Pragmatist vehemently denounced the post newspaper for the Katete pictures where RB was distributing sugar and other commodities calling the post that they practice “gutter journalism.” Pragmatist claimed that the pics were taken in Gweebe valley insinuating that actually those pics were taken before levys death. well. we all know the truth as confirmed by namugala and it turns out that the post were actually correct!!! I wonder what the motives of the so called pragmatist are? HH is coming and your randevous at the zambian mission is coming to an end. Kuya Bebele!!!
Wena Miss booty (#9), No probs with the justice meeting with RB, but if indeed the issue was to talk about the preparations for the elections, she should have done so accompañied by all stake holders. In a situation where the election process has been questioned over and again, it might just help to take precautionery measures. aki ma rubish fela
Learn to be fair RB is acting presido, if things flop concerning elections he will equally be blamed. There is nothing fishy coz even the money for elections is his buziness. Common stop being negative on everything.
She has compromised her position. No more secret meetings with the VICE President – there is no such thing as Acting President. Bwezani we are watching you. . .
I agree with # 12
Vote for HH. Vote for real change and hope.
The so-called “Justice” Mumba is paid by Ruphia’s Govt, so naturally as the Zambian politics of poverty dictate she has to be loyal to him and ensure that he wins the election. That’s how backward our country is.
Guys have observed that the position of Electoral commission chairperson have always been held by people from one province. huh
Anyway lets wait and see.people will try to please their appointees in order to safe guard their jobs!its Africa.
Logic says that you cannot bite the hand the feeds you and gives you access to plots
Obviously, it was not right though the reasons and motives advanced appear genuine. Ms Mumba as a judge you know best about ethics and any explanations though well intended cannot just be easily accepted. It is a very sad development. Either the meeting should have been openly announced and the opposition made aware of it or the meeting should have been held in your offices with everyone present and the press invited. Very bad news indeed.
The word going round is that the office of the president was closed for 45 minutes and Florence got it on with Mr R Banda. After the second meeting Florence wanted to stay for another 1 hour but it was going to look suspicious. Another meeting has been planned in the coming days.
This lady just went there to ask for sugar and the only wrong thing she did was to give RB the bj. Otherwise people don`t wory coz the boat is heading to plot 1.
by the look of things we forget easily!very soon some vegetable wil be at plot 1 and maureen with her k27billion will be foreign minister thats the way it is in afrique
florence pliz dont start licking boots just for the sake of keeping yo job: We want trasperancy not these hidden meetings ok!
No. 17 you are not correct. Justice Bwalya (Northern), Justice Mambilima (maiden name, Chirwa) (Eastern married to Kaonde), and now Justice Mumba (maiden name, Mwachande).
Florence liule and the sugar dad was happy with her bj coz aleufwika kwati takwata ameno mukanwa. Florence keep it up and make more money for you poor husband.
No. 16 people like you are not respected even where you are because you speak ill of your country. Learn to critisize your country without being negative. Even in Canada such questionable things happen.
What we know is that only a wicked meeting can be held in screet otherwise if it was a genuin one even the press and other parties were going to be there. You guys who are saying fweeeeeeeeeee, do you know what these guys discussed? Buchendefye balechita.
Rigging starts before voting.An intelligence survey carried out in the 9 Provinces reveals that HH will carry the day coz almost all LPM’s strongholds are going to HH 4 obvious reasons.This explains RB’s panic in search of plan B.
Sata was on radio phoenix this morning.This man is a joker,all the 2 hours was just making jokes and avoiding to answer serious questions asked about his health,his Party’s preparedness for these elections,fighting his MP’s and his Party’s intra Party democracy.Zambians lets work up.
#30,we all know that Michael Chilufya Sata is not Presidential material.
deleted
Banda is useless who can’t rule the country.His records have been poor.I’ve never seen anything banda achieved in life.People vote presidents according to their records.
If he has never done anything, how can you expect him 2 deliver since he has been a fallier in the past?
The man even showed how corrupt he’s!e,g giving suger 2 people in eastern province.watch out with UNIP guys!!!
Number 9 are you lozi living in England? I support you ki ma rubbish. lets vote for HH not old pipo. We don’t want another by-election. Sata to die after elected as president afford that. GO…..HH
No 27, for your own information number 16 the Canadian is right. That’s the way things happen in Zed and Africa at large. Backwardness is the order of the day. Face it. It’s up to you to make a change
Remember RB is a former Intelligence officer. Go Zambia and Vote HH
Baketwa basilozi, aluvotele HH ki Muntoompe wa-Zambia. mulobale hande, bana ba-Mulimu. We need seriously shift in our approach to this expensive democracy brothers and sister. This is our only time!
Our time for a new and just Zambia, where all of us, Citizens, will be partners in development with the Incooming GRZ.
MWEBALWANI MWEE WHY DO YOU WASTE YOUR TIME UKUSBAILA ALL TIME ITS ONLY GOD WHO KNOWS UKATEKA KEEP PRAYING HIS IS THE BEST
This blog is so nice. You would think the race is between HH and Sata, and I ask why?

I hate to say or admit this but whether we like it or not out side Lusaka and copperbelt. Southern province economically is the strongest province. The reason is simple tongas work hard. They are hard workers who dont believe in short cuts. They are also acccommodating to other tribes and races. It is one province with the highest number of investment from either other provinces or countries. They certainly accommodate others more than my own province and that is a plus to them.
Mulobale hande mina masholi bakwa north. masholi masholi lika lamina lifelile. Mutope wamina Sata ainzi mwakoma. Sata akashwa la 29 October. Luka mibona mina masholi muka zamaya inga ma orphans.
It was good to go to local service. Now am back with the international service. I have just paid for my ticket with emirates to go home to vote for my mbuya HH. The timing date for the elections was perfect for my program here.
These thieves have no morals. Sata now wants to use Levy’s body as a campaign tool. No wonder he was following the confin all over the country. When Mazoka died HH never ever said if you loved Mazoka vote for me which Sata is saying in today’s post “if you loved Levy vote for me”. The former first lady must step in and stop this nosense.Even MMD must stop making direct reference Levy
VJ achimwa kale in today’s post with callers who told him not to rig elections. This mbuya of mine just like Sata will die poor because of his appetite for women. He has a chain of children all over the country. He is also hanging on to politics because he has no qualifications for jobs outside politics. He is a disgrace to the hard working tongas or may it is a mistake in his name. Probably his real name is Vernon Mwansa becuse all his attributes point to somebody who hails from the north.
Eureka! Bloggers thanks to zambia co.zm I have found an answer to Zambia political leadership crisis. Disclaimer: I am NOT a CDP member/sympathizer- but check out thier proposal to leadership issues. visit www thecitizensdemocraticparty.com under national issues. If I am wrong muntuke ba fikamba.
#54- True story- but where are these CDP fellows- is it Chiluba/Magande who havealready lost? Their website makess too much sense it is scary. I am in he US- are they old or completely new in Zambia
RB is acting president and we all know sitting presidents in the past have been consulted in terms of election preparations. So whats the big deal this time ba oposition. Muyopa? Anyway the word ‘Opposition’ is not good because it sounds like you guys just oppose without using brains as can clearly be seen.
Kaputula,
the system being advanced by the CDP chaps is effectively a federal system of governance. I do not see the current NCC discussing and even less advancing Zambia as a federal state. There would be no need to go in this direction if the powers currently vested in the office of the president were clipped (fewer or no appointment) and the separation of the arms of government was fact and not theory.
Why are the CDP being cagey about their identities? What are they afraid of?
Thanks #35. We should just face facts. Our friends out here do not entertain such acts the ECZ and RP are doing
I was waiting for a response. LT went quiet after my discovery. these Cdp characters are tricky- but I think they are saying that power will be spread out if the office of the president’s power was clipped and sent to provinces- @ least that’s what I get from them-which only makes sense. But you are right- they need to reveal themselves.
I hope a Zambian @ home says something maybe they have a better idea than us in the diaspora as to who these characters are.
It is strange what eyes can see, I thought I saw “Justice Mumba from ECZ defends her MARRIAGE with RB”.
# 57 Sinjoko mwa mbonyi – you seem more learned in politics than Kaputula. who is CDP? Tell us?
Iwe Kaputula the CDP link is not working. send it again- we want to see the cdp eureka.
One possible explanation for the identity black-out at CDP is that they are either civil servants who would very quickly be kicked out of their jobs for engaging in politics or they are a bunch of disaffected old guard who still want to enjoy the benefits of affiliation with the hand that is feeding them.
Who ever CDP are, they obviously lack two things:
1.) Balls or the courage of their convictions;
2.) Money. If they had enough money, they would not have to hide their identities behind some nebulous motto like ‘putting people first’.
These are a bunch of enthusiastic amateurs until proven otherwise. Keep a safe distance.
63.Sinjoko mwa mbonyi- thank you for your insight. I took it upon myself to google CDP. Patrick Chisanga in a Post issue was actually asked about them and his reaction seems that he;s somewhat involved with them google maravi Chisanga. I don’t know about dismissing as amaateurs them because I have also been told they have distributed a lot of literature pa Zed by a cousin. I think we can agree they talk sense- maybe too advanced for Zambia.
#42,#43,#45, #47,#50, with due respect, can u translate all that? it all sounds like GREEK!
Iwe Msanide fall in line with the debate CDP not RB. These id*ots have sensible ideas which can work. If these fo*ls don’t come out let us steal their ideas, www thecitizensdemocraticaparty.com. Zambians wake up and steal ideas not money.
hahaha, Greek?? Bo #65, Kimina makuwa?
Maximo,
Thanks for that bit of info. Patrick Chisanga, if indeed involved, is no amateur, but I still think he (of all people) would know better.
A federated Zambia is not a new idea and the brains behind CDP must know this. One of the major counter-arguments against federation is the ‘One Zambia, one nation’ national motto. Federation may indirectly lead to fragmentation of the country and we all know the Barotses have a nervous finger on that trigger.
How does any one advance the federation of Zambia without being perceived as an enemy of the state deserving the punishment for treason (death by hanging)? If CDP can overturn Kenneth Kaunda’s powerful vision, I will applaud them.
Sinjoko mwa mbonyi – thank you again for your mature and eductaive comments. I think you should contact these characters- I have emailed them. I do not want to dismiss these CDP characters as they seem original amateur or not- Ithey have to start somewhere. What do you think of their 7-point agenda?
Iwe Sinjoko mwa mbonyi – you should blog some more and maybe help these CDp if they are not old guard. Goodnight nagona ine
Good job madam mumba. Continue doing your job,you can never satisfy everyone in zambia. Them guys will never stop complaining. They even complained on LPM even when the economy was doing fine.
Maximo,
I too will get in touch with CDP and will not dismiss them wholesale before I figure out what they represent. But unlike them, I will be open about my identity.
The seven point plan looks good, but I am keen to see the vehicle (usually called the manifesto) which will covert these objectives into hard reality.
Thank you Maximo for the engaging, polite and civilised conversation. A definite breathe of fresh air. I must retire if I am to be of any use to any one at work tomorrow (today actually!) morning! It is 2am in London even though the flag shows I am in India! I look forward to catching you here sometime soon. Good night !
Thank you Sinjoko mwa mbonyi. Goodnight- I too have homework to finish. But I encourage you to contact them as you never know maybe they canhelp pa Zed. I am in Chicago and will look out for your name here. It has been an educative discuss even though it was short. keep blogging.
#71 the economy is fr from fine. Employment rates and incomes are ever decreasing
Maximo, Sinjoko mwa Mbonyi et al, good discussion. I learn one or two things from it.
Ilyashi yapa Zed ilantekunya!
Easterners are farmers, southeners are farmers, northerners Ba bemba ni akawalala. They steal without shame. Even when Chiluba was arrested a chief from Luapula said ‘taibile abulile fye’. We must have a federal state and see which province will survive when there will be nothing to steal between themselves when they reamin on their own.
#77 you are spot on mate. Congratulations for telling the truth

kanshi ka flag kalabomba- bat LY namwendelela zo ona. Kitwe boysz P?F….CDP ni zee
The last 44 years of our independence has shown that our ethnic diversity is a huge impedement to the development of this country. The way forward is federalization. Welding ourselves to a disfunctional notion of one Zambia one nation that has clearly failed to deliver and is now just as dry as Mugabe’s misguided belief in external conspiracies working against him will just dig us deeper into economic malaise and potential civil war. Listening to Banda, Sata, Aka, HH, Kavindele and Katele, any sensible man would see we’re not a people working in unisom for one nation but a people split on ethnic lines first and national one a distant second.
#81…In other postings on this site, I have also advocated for decentralisation/regionalisation of the economy. This is the only way you can get professionals to go back to their roots and help the folks. Who wouldn’t want to help their own people develop? Let the central govt. only handle major projects like hydro-dams and highways. The state govt. has no business mending roads in a township that has no national significance.
Ba LT why aren’t my posting not showing? First, ati nde posta too fast. second, ati ni duplicate. But still, I can’t see my posts!
Why????
The post is all out to undo Banda. Check out todays editorial, they claim if he cannot use govt owned vehicles etc if he is standing for presido by law!!
This Zambian Airways thing is getting presonal, it is gonna get ugly if he wins.
#17 YOU ARE WRONG, JUSTICE BOBBY BWALYA, JUSICE MAMBILIMA AND JUSTICE MUMBA ARE NOT FROM THE SAME PROVINCE. CHECK YOUR FACTS BEFORE MAKING COMMENTS PLEASE.
wHEN SHE WENT TO SEE RB, anoter pajero was dished out to her,what will stop them rigging
Keep trying #83. I suggest you change your name.
I am happy that you guys out there are keeping a closer look at what is unfolding back here in Zambia. Congrats guys!! I like your comments.
I think the point the Post newspaper are raising in their editorial makes sense.Even though there past editorials were in bad taste as regards RB ,today’s is spoton.The man has to step down-he can’t have it both ways.Lets have a level playing field
Sata was a constable before joining politics. Does any one on this forum Know which Unversity or College he attended?
Running an Economy is not like running a City Council.
Please help me out screen the candididates!
Ba Justice, nifyofine, efyo iya.

We my have problems with this meeting. I think it would have helped her a lot if she had meet the “sugar daddy ” in an open set up- it’s too late!
zambia has so many tribes but if we base our votes on tribes then we are going to be the same for a long time please people DONT VOTE FOR HH BECOZ HE IS A BUSINESS MAN WHO ONLY HAS HIS WALLET IN MIND
The price of mealie meal has gone up,

THE JUDGE SHOULD JUST BE CAREFUL WITH THE CLOSED DOOR MEETINGS. RB IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN POUNCE ON YOU. FOR YOUR SAFETY IN FUTURE, PLEASE BE ACCOMPANIED TO SUCH MEETINGS.

Hey guys! have you heard? Rupiah may have to vacate the office of the vice president coz Article 71(1)(2)(f).
WE NEED TRANSPARENCY!!!!!!!!!!!!LET THE POEPLE TALK THROUGH THE VOTE…IN THE LAST ELECTION LUSAKA ALMOST WENT ON FIRE….IT MAY BE WORSE …PLEASE DEVELOP CONFIDENCE IN THE ELECTRO PROCESS….ABASHI VJ…..VIVA SATA…VIVA PABWATO
Ba # 94.One Zambia One Nation.That HH you are against is what the majority want now.Zambia needs a 21st century leadership to reach the level of S.Africa,Malyasia,China etc.Viva HH & may God bless u more.
welcome osama bin zed, you rock!
don’t worry Justice Mumba,why fear PF which can’t give back life?they lost the elctions in April when satana fell ill…you only have 2 candidates ,RB and HH…

who asked for an explanation
The Guilty…………….
I agree with No.4. such meeting needed all players to be involved. Thats why we need the ECZ to have independence in totality.
This is not about mbuyas and all that rubbish. Watch us and we are on the boat of victory. You dont vote for mbuyas but credible people. If you not happy with the boat leading; Hang! Atishani ba ponyax?
LT what’s with duplicate content detected?
Iwe ka No.103 walitumpasa. you are stiking tribalism. Zed is for all.
THe way we suffered when IT SeeMED Mazoka was headed for victory I will never make that mistake again. HH may be good but his tribesmen are a threat to national security.
Tongas and Lozi`s now look at how your triblisim will cost you. y do you act like this? i mean y r u so different from the majority. i know hh is the best candidate but am scared that once his voted into power this country will be another Rwanda.if only you guys were different.
That blog was for my bro Chris, # 42, 43, 45, 47, 50, 51, 52, 53 and 76. Listen to shi philipo at # 106 and you might get some insight. You are not helping HH with some of these blogs; you simply taking him lower.
Who says the judge cannot meet the president? She is human and a Zambian and has rights to meet the president maybe to discuss pressing issues. The problem with some of is that you still can not digest the fact that RB is the acting presdo….want it or not he is the the one in the sit now and period untill the oct. 30 by elections which I have no doubt he will win and win and win…..epela ala!!!
we want her to meet ba Sata now………….sata iweeeeeeee!!!!!!
Florence you need ‘Alangizi’ like ba mama ba…..Who told you the forthcoming elections are only for the MMD (RB)? The elections are for all those taking part, the opposition inclusive. So your meeting to discuss procedure in an event of national elections, would have involved the opposition who’re in this case, the stakeholders and not Sugar Daddy alone! People are watching and every move you make to conspire is being watched very closely. Desist from such tendencies for the sake of peace. If its Sugar u went for, they would have delivered to your office. Stop thinking that we’re so dull and naive to read your moves! As of today, you only have 42 days in office.
#103 Nonsense……..koswe iwe!!
Chi No. #26 the Judge does not need to get permission from anyone she wishes to meet. What is wrong with you, and you shud analyse whatever you want to talk about. Which poor husband are you talking about? Her husband is late (MHSRIP).
Mbuzi, wilatumpa mwaiche! leadership does not mean you have to come from the university. Thats why you chaps are full of theories. Sata when he explains issues it makes sense. you don’t necesarily have to use words like macro economics those are nothing but just jargons. get a life.
Ba #121 naimwe. Dont you know that when you hold such an office you are open to scrutiny over who you see during such a time? Sometimes you blog amaze me that i cant avoid saying something.
Bu whay not meet other heads of Political parties? Whats so special with Rupiah Banda which is not in other Politcal Heads?
There must be something, actually some games are being played already.
Zambians, lets be watchful.
#103 watuka aba Bemba.
while we’re at this,dont waste your lives mates,remember in a few years the burden will be on us,so lets start practicing leadership now.viva continuity mu bwato
#111 what credibility has MCS got?
Justice Florence Mumba is not your ordinary judge,she’s probably one if not the most accomplished judge in Zambia,she’s worked at all levels in the Judiciary & also worked as Presiding Judge at the International War Crimes Tribunal at the Hague.Justice Mumba is not new to the ECZ having sat on the board from 1989 to 1992.
The appointing authority for the position of ECZ Chairperson is the President,the position is ratified by Parliament so like all those appointed by the President,she has to report to the President who operates from State House,the Acting President is Banda so she had to go there not the other way round,Sata & HH don’t have offices at State House they’re ordinary men.
#115 please stop compatring Zed to Rwanda, we can never have that nonse in zed!
This tribalism thing is so rife among country Tongas & Lozis who come to test citylife straight from the sticks. Pure Urban ones are good campany
mossad which side are you on? du need me to convince you to jump on the boat before it sails too far off shore
#131 i’m non-aligned, go on and convince me I might just be pf’s number 1 supporter
I have seen the Man hold public office and saw what he did. Am tired of theories of most of these educated fellows we put in power. I like a statement that MCS said and i quote, ” we dont have to beg for investors to come and invest but rather we need to make an enviroment fit for making money and they will be rushing to come and invest coz its money they want to make” end of quote. Am equally tired of us looking like begger when they should be begging to come and exploit our ambundant natural resources. Comprende # 127?
viva sata, we do not want fluke leaders, like HH business man My A*******. you cant run a country like a business all we need is proper leadership with direction. If sata became president today , he would be the first ever president in Zambia to have really struggled and proved himself to be one. This is what democracy is all about, its about putting leaders who have served in the public servie for long time and have a proven track record. Now tell me what has HH done apart from his Business nonsense, worse still RB the cry Babe.
vote wisely pabwato here come
You tribalists are very strange. Not every tonga in zambia was at mulungushi when HH was elected UPND president. it was only party members but yu keep on saying all tongas are tribalists. At moment HH is the best man for the job so lets just get him to plot 1 on 30th october.
#133 he served in two past goverments why didn’t he implement all that then? How different will it be if we put him in office?
crazy jlm is rite.most of these so called investments dont even benefit zedians at all.the mines for example,copper prices hit a record high and yet the roads on the belt so horrible,pipo die almost daily btn ktw and chingola,mostly cozed by trucks going to the mines. investment shud mean development not stagnation
pipo saying sata is a dictator,i think thats exactly the kind of personality we need.i have frends working mu boma who report for work at 9:30 amd are out by 2 o’clock,c’mon how can we develop if you aint working hard guys,we need sata to push such lazy characters in the rite direction.
GOD HELP US
Tonga’s must concentrate on mabisi and polygamy, leave politics to Bembas and wise men from the east.
#140 u talking s h i t!
shidada wat du smoke ayi? c’mon make a valuable contribution not that nonsense
HH best man for the job?. We havent seen his contribution in terms of meanigful investments. Grant Thornton some clowns had the guts to say he owned it.The place is just full of tongas man thats not the Zambia we want Zambia is for all of us.
Doesn’t matter who takes over as long as he can perform, Zambia *********
von goethe which part of s.a are you in.wanna by you beers mate
Mossad there is a limit to how much you can implement or impact depending on your position and whose above you. Just in that statement alone i have said it all but let me elaborate. If people who you have above you allow you to do so much and you do it well, i would like you to have the whole chunk so that i see the same effeciency in everything. Get the logic.
#53
if you who has the chance to move out and see how other people live, cannot learning anything from them to change your pre-judicial way of thinking. How do you expect ZAMBIA to change for the better where our children will live without the FEAR of the UNKOWN that you carry everywhere you go?
you need to grow up my brother. what your parents told you about the bembers is not true. just work up and live without fear of the Bembas. Learn to respect people. we are one zambia and we should contue living as one. dont be afraid to learn.
HH,we are with you my man,no matter what? come winter,autumn,summer and spring season we are going forward not backward.Some people belong to the past.we are not going to eat tribalism but food on the table.Go HH!Forget about about these big mouthed Satas,Sata still thinks he will continue even after 2011.Shame on you recycled zambian politician.You never invested in your lifehood now you think you can bring changes FORGET YOUR TIME IS OVER. VIVA HH,TOGETHER WE WILL ACHIEVE,NO POLITICS OF DIVISIVE AND PULL DOWN.
#53 nimbushi, i think hes got inferiority complex.
biggest investor, there’s a way that simz rite but in the end that way leads to death.hh will only lead to the death of our one zambia one nation

Well said # 151, thats wisdom.
Zambians we are a laughing stock, Just look at the trivial issues we are discussing.The level of debate in this country is appalling. This has been caused by one paper which thinks they own all the wisdom, just do a self test honetly and see if you are uisng your intelligent judgement. You will discover that you are also a victim of this gutter journalism. In your own opinion are you sure that people in western province will vote for RB because he gave sugar to people in Vulamukoko?
osama bin zed Am in Capetown what about you?
bonita what are you trying to say,your english rather sucks you know,ati in your own opinion,which school did you go to?
ba von am in jhb but i graft in pta.am coming down to cpt next year tho for my masters program.so tatwenwe,too bad mate
I dont drink brother and besides next year am going back to the Fatherland am just coping their ways and reading their books
But ndeya muku Vota First next month
Walishiba fye
#140 you are a baboon of all kind,you dont know why you find yourself in Namibia.Souther Province is very critical to the development of you country Zambia.if you want will simply switch off Kariba North bank Electricity supply,The tea or coffe your relative and particularly yourself enjoy when you are in zambia will not be supplied without sugar.You are the dullest of the most kind.think b4 you insult us man!!!you saw what your Grand Father on Post front newspaper that he was busy dishing out sugar in Katete.
The votes will once again be split since both HH and Sata want to be president….its very interesting how we all want power and are not willing to learn from others. It’s the same thing as a fresh graduate leaving campus and joining HHs company refusing to start as a trainee because he wants the top most position!! I personally thought HH would be wise to field sata so that he runs and hold office for three years, then we back HH for 2011, can people honestly be so short sighted..I was thinking the pact would mean HH is in charge of the house and Sata does all the diplomacy, forign affairs etc….Lesa twafweni. Ps : I have nothing against HH just thought he’d consider the pact…
look guys ichi chi website chilefuuta ifyo ndelemba yashani iyi?(this website is deleting wat am typing why?)
Ask former Grand Thornton workers and hear about HH’s style of management. Yu wil be shocked. We don’t want that kind for Zed.
Iwe chi osama bin zed u r nt even in zed but u want development in zed.come & dvlop zep.ulichipuba!
Biggest Investor u sound like u actually have the power to switch off Kariba North bank that is not a tonga project it a State project. Neither is Zambia Suger a Tonga Company
Those things belong to all Zambians
My doggs,debate issues not ur tribal sentiments,i could feel fire burning becareful!!I totally blame Chiluba for not holding the nation tightier than it was b4 in Kaunda era.
#148.Biggest Investor, I hereby join your progressive attitude. If we put Sata into power, there shall be no change to the politics of the country because Sata and his PF are simply an MMD break away.To argue that Sata comes in now and then HH in 2010 is the biggest political joke that only those with childlike faith agree to.Where will Lubinda be to let HH carry on or indeed the MMD itself? Cant you see why MMD wants to hold on to power? Power is sweet. Ask Chiluba.It is not impossible to boot out RB. We must vote for progress with our heads connected not tribe.
PATRIOTIC FRONT THE WAY FORWARD FOR ZAMBIA LOCAL AND FOREIGN INVESTMENT THE PATRIOTIC FRONT VALUES LOCAL AND FOREIGN INVESTORS EQUALLY. A PFGOVERNMENT SHALL THEREFORE NOT ONLY PROTECT INVESTMENT, BUT PROVIDEINCENTIVES ACROSS THE BOARD. PF ALSO RECOGNIZES THATS KILLED PEOPLE ARE CRITICAL TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. BEARING THAT INM IND, A PF LED GOVERNMENT WOULD ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITH SKILLS WHICH ARE IN SHORT SUPPLY IN ZAMBIA TO LIVE AND WORK IN OUR COUNTRY. AT THE SAME TIME, A PF LED GOVERNMENT SHALL PROMOTE UPGRADING AND ACQUISITION OF CRITICAL SKILLS AMONG ZAMBIAN WORKERS.THE ANTI-CORRUPTION CRUSADE STARTED BY MWANAWASA IN 2002 SHALL BE EXTENDED…
#162. Shi Mugodi, Who tells you that Sata is a model HH should emulate? The converse should be the case. These two leaders have totally different approaches to advance Zambia. One is an intellectual (economics) and the other is a political something. We are not calling for a government of national unit.Can we look back? KK(teacher)built so many schools, Chiluba(transporter) improved the transport sector and house ownership, LPM(Lawyer) the power of the law, HH(economics) to improve the economy. Sata(What profession?)
Somebody & Biggest Investor i beg to differ with u guys the people who will hold this nation tighter is neither of these clown these guys careless about you and me.We are the answer to our problems.
In our own ways we can change this nation.
The People on the ground have no tribal issues. Am Bemba but i been welcomed in tongaland without reservations. What has now become tribal insults were once mere harmless jokes and we can keep it that way
#168 thanks ny brother you are really “somebody” i dont feel comfortable with people like #140(shiducks).He ran away from eating rats or fish from luapula which made him blind resorted to stay in Namibia where there is no mpulungu stony kapenta.Now thinks Tongas are wrong to eat mabisi.dear shiducks we are cattle ranchers not rats bearers which terrorise your harvest from the farms.Tongas are after wealth creation not destroyers.let me remind you my brothers and sisters Tongas are like Jews on earth,most progressive hard workers.Tongas focus on the future not on the past.The past is there to build on the trend reflecting on where we went wrong.But we focus on changes not status quo.contine..
IN THE PATRIOTIC FRONT, WE HAVE BOTH THE WILL AND
VISION. WE SHALL NEVER ABUSE THE TRUST AND CONSIDERATION OF OUR GLORIOUS PEOPLE.
WE NEED TO BRING BACK DIGNITY TO THE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE.
M.C SATA
PRESIDENT
Lets build zambia where all citizens will be empowered socially ,financially and so on.There is no hope from these Old chaps.They are supposed to be advisors or watchdogs not contendants.Please Lets use our brains.Zambians need a Leader who focuses on economical empowerment to its citizens.Let me share with some knowledge,In Botswana youth are much more empowered than any other country in the region(SADC).The government came up with different empowerment programs to its Citizen.there is what is called CEDA and YOUTH Grants to empower its people.What we want is development.Iam not in zambia but i will go and vote for HH.There is Hope in him.
In primary school I was taught by a Mr Mbewe, secondary school I was taught by a Mr Kazoka, at university I was taught by a Professor Hasungule. My young sister’s husband is a Mr Mulenga (A very good and gentle Bemba), My elder sister to a Mambwe (Also a very good gentleman). My brother has married a Tonga (a very beautiful and caring wife). My wife is from kwa hae (Barotse Land). What am I saying. I have been loved, taught and fashioned out of every culture in Zambia and not forgetting the English. Thus how come we can talk to each other like we are doing. Thanks to KK.
Justice Mumba has the MANDATORY to visit ALL GRZ institutions without faviour or delay.
#171.Under-cover, you have not differed with us. We are speaking the same language.Thank you very much. Zambia needs the young people like you and me with better vision. HH at 46 is the younger generation we are talking about. Look at Kabila(DRC),Kikwete(Tanzania),Ian Khama(BOTS), etc.There is serious investiments from outside in these countries. Sainity includes things like voting for a FIT president (google about heart-attacks). When an American is 72 he will be functionally fitter than a Zambian counterpart.They care about their health first.Even insurance premiums these days are proportional to age.
Sure people dont you have something serious to talk about? What is wrong with the Justice meeting with the acting President? For Christ’s sake these meetings are normal protocol cause whether you like it or not, the acting president is briefed on the happenings of the ECZ. Its normal protocol as he is the custodian of everything that is happenning. Be objective and dont see everything as fishy!
Florence you need to retire, we have had too much of your corrupt practises. Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaa………..ssssssssssseeeeeeeee shilako bambi.
Why meetings mufuna Kudya

THE 2008-9 farming season’s subsidy has been increased to 75 per cent from the previous 60 per cent, Agriculture and Co-operatives Minister, Sarah Sayifwanda, has disclosed. Government has paid 50 per cent of the value of the 80,000 tonnes of fertiliser in order to allow selected suppliers, Omnia Small Scale and Nyiombo Investment to start and continue distribution of inputs to various districts.

Story 2. FRA blacklists 2 suppliers FRA executive director, Anthony Mwanaumo told a parliamentary committee yesterday that the agency had stopped dealing with Nyiombo Investments and Louis Greyfus because they allegedly supplied the agency with GMO maize in two years ago.
Further, FRA gave Louis Dreyfus, a second contract without consulting the board for the supply of 12,000 tonnes of maize instead of buying cheaper maize which would have been ready at the end of March 2006.
I beg to differ with russia-moscow.You seem to know little about RB.Mind you, he is an Economist with an impeccable and corrupt free record(go to POST archives for verification).have facts first hand before criticizing.
No.183 you are right, people just critise anyhow.
The boat is a sinking TITANIC now. After all most of these cheats will not vote. You dont know what is on the ground.
Most of you will have heart attack on the 3rd or 4th November after RB is announced as winner. VIVA RBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB, VIVA MMDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.
#138, its my first time i hear you make a real contribution!
BA Von goethe am not tonga but judging from your rather shallow contributions you seem to be obsessed with the tonga’s. my man grow up politics of tribal lines are long gone and besides there so many inter marriages now in zed.
Abalozi!!! Mwebalozi mwa amba ama zeting’i. Tatuleumfwa ifitundu fyenu guyz but ni down anyway.
vote for the man of the moment. he sends shivers because he is feared by those who take politics as an occupation to enrich themselves. politics is about service to the people not self aggrandisement. Vote with wisdom and vote RB? NOOOOO NOO, Vote SATA? NNNNOOOOOO Noo. ladies and gentlemen lets Vote HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH for presido.
Iwe #187, get serious in life and grow up.
Find some Lozi neighbours near your area, make friends with them and ask them to teach you LOZI – atleast one word per day.
Otherwise, stop Complaining about LOZI on here for I am enjoying reading it. If you are serious about your sentiments on #187, please refrain from using that BEMBA and use english so that all people who are non-Bmba-speaking-Zambians can get your writings.
Sata, Lubinda and HH are worried.
Fellow Zambian people, watch HH campaining as a NATIONAL LEADER in BEMBA LANGUAGE in some place obviusly in Luapula province in a video HH media at www . hakainde . com
HH in tune with the National and UPND mwakabeleka basa. I wish you all the best Mr Incoming President of Zambia to-be HH.
“Abakali tabalanda”, “wina azalila wina azaseka” come 4th November 2008.
While they are ranting the UPND’s HH is meeting the voters in villages, in urban areas and what else can I write…. HH ni zii!
N0. 10 Pragmatist is a liar
HH is not going anywhere if he continues to allow Mutinta Mazoka, the mother-inlaw of M’membe of the Post, to wear the trousers.
LEVY’S LEGACY ON TRIAL
The untimely death of the Third Zambian Republican President, Dr. Levi Patrick Mwanawasa has not only brought profound sadness, grief, guilt, shock and confusion to the first family and the people of this country but also inspired a deluge of hypocrisy and irrationalism over his supposed legacy and estimate.
Gripped by the tragic loss of a man who presided over the affairs of our nation since 2002 some sections of the media, civil society, political leadership and citizenry have suddenly started lavishing the late president with preposterous titles and praises which were never pronounced by them in his life. They have, for example, given him such accolades as ‘a
These comments from the Post are farfetched and insincere. It is incredible that a paper that claims to thrive on integrity, good journalistic principles and truth has chosen to delude itself. Let us advance a few refutations.
The country will recall that Levi Mwanawasa was rejected by almost every Zambian prior to his presidency. Hand-picked by the second republican president Dr. Frederick T.J Chiluba as his successor in 2000, contrary to the Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) party constitution, Mwanawasa started off his ascent to State House in defiance
IS THE POST STILL CREDIBLE AS IT USED TO BE?
But on the 24th October, 2001 the Post attacked Levi again in an editorial comment titled, “Mwanawasa’s desperation”.
“Mwanawasa cannot expect anybody to applaud his opportunistic and unprincipled entry into the presidential race. Being one of those who framed the MMD constitution, Mwanawasa is today in the forefront of undermining it. There’s nothing we can do about the fact that Mwanawasa has been produced by this destructive machinery.”
Through out his tenure of office Levi Mwanawasa remained a minority president. People did not just like him. For example, the presidential elections of 2001 produced so much acrimony that all opposition parties boycotted Levi’s official inauguration
Transparancy in how we handle issues is very cadinal. ECZ announced the election date on the media was enough. If there was nothing fishy she should have met RB together with Leaders of opposition parties. Anyway may be she wants to enjoy more because she is barely 2 months in office so she is preparing to rig so that she stays in office long.
Wapeka wena!!! (you crazy), the Batswana would say. That’s y MMD changed the ECZ chairperson. This time around, whatever it takes, PF is winning and ECZ beware. We want to come back home and uplift mother Zambia. We’re tired of working in these damned foreign countries like Zed has been cursed. Judge, watch out, the world would be too small for you on this scale if u start dark corner agendas. Work for Zambia, not copnniving with RB. Zed is no monarch. MMD, time to pack. KK didnt finish his term, MMD came in. MMD hasn’t finished the term, PF will come in. That’s de way to go folks.
That is compromise of the day.If there was nothing to hide,why not invite all participating parties at once?
Injustice mumba should learn manners,check your job description
VOTE SATA
No.187, pliz learn to respect other pipo’s languages.If you don’t know it make an effort to learn and appreciate the values in it.stop exposing your tribal inclination(yu are Trabalist).Believe in one zambia, one nation.
How transparent is our electoral commission????????????. I can smell a rat here. Lets see what happens
No. 44, I need to advice, and I think you can give it?
NISHI BONSE MULELAKILA PA MISHOBO? Bring on real issues not just Tongas to vote for HH and Bembas for Psyco Mata, and Ngunis for Sugar Teddy Bear….Its cheap.
hey whats the programme for our cotinued journey to the october 30 loss. we cant wait to lose and confine our party to the sewerage site so that it could decompose.
Sata’s problem is that he talks without thinking. He was campaigning for Taiwan;s independence and he hoped Chinese would welcome such a leader. The man needs to learn the law of implications in one’s actions. He can send the nation to war and claim he was misunderstood. That is the problem with our friends who smoke that character forming cigarette. They are never predictable. They see rivers where there aren’t any and say TULIPABWATOO!!! And yet the man is sitting in his house.
why meet RB and whats so special about him????people we are talking about our future and we can not allow any foolish thing to this time around…..we want peaceful elections and RB has no chance of winnung especially with his record..no more UNIP bouncing back to power…we really suffered bog time…..Oooooouuuutttt RB..
mumba also got paid
Zed is gud with all its happenings. I wished you guys lived in the UK. don’t tell each other lies.
Madam try to be transparent as possible. otherwise any faul play u will end up losing your dignity.if your meeting wth RB was genuine then Glory be to God. if the other way round May God surely punish you and your house hold severely for attenpting to cause tention in a self acclaimed Christian nation (Zambia). Peace is what we command ok!!
Well RB’s meeting with Justioce Mumba cant go wthout comment. Yes mch as he z Actg Presido it dosnt gve him immunity to discuss issues of national interest in behind doors. My frendly warning to Justsice FM is madam be transparent as possible for the benefit of the counrty Zambia and not 4 a small colony (RB and his MMD)Plunderers.
This time is Pabwatoooo!!!!!!! for real.
Trust you will agree with me that HH is better when it comes to economics but let have the Old Michael to clean all the dirty casued by MMD govnt so as to enable him find it easy to run when his time comes. Bravo Bashi Miachael this time ni State House bound no doubt.
SATA 99.90 %
R BANDA 10 %
HH 0 %
MMD IT’S TIME TO GO, WE NEED SATA NOW
