Management at Zambia Sugar PLC in Mazabuka have rejected MMD Southern Province Campaign Coordinator, Michael Kaingu’s request for the company to help the party by directing the workforce to vote for the MMD during the forth coming Presidential by-election.

Company Managing Director, Paul-de- Robillard told Mr Kaingu during a brief meeting held in the company board room , Friday, that the company corporate policy does not permit the support of any political activity or grouping.

Mr Robillard said though the company enjoys support from government, it will remain ‘politically nuetral.’

And attempts by Company Co-orporate affairs manager, Lovemore Sievu to read out the act that prohibits the company to take part in politics where thwarted by Mr Kaingu who interjected and ordered Sievu to stop reading the act.

“Dont read those regulations to me, read them when I leave this place but my advice is protect your investment by supporting us,” the minister.

Mr Kaingu who is also Tourism, Environment and Natural Resources Minister cautioned Investors against voting for what he described as ‘a lunatic’ into State house.

He warned that voting for such a person would be disastrous because policies and manifestos might differ and one would consider nationalising the private companies such as Zambia Sugar.

“We are in trouble, we need to win these eleections to finish our mandate and that is why we have come to you. when you have a problem you run to your friends and that is what we have done to come to you,” Kaingu insisted.

He also bragged that in the event that there was change of government whether Opposition UPND or PF, he would join either parties and maintain his cabinet portifolio.

”As Politicians it is easier to change from One party to another but it is not possible for you as Zambia Sugar to change from cultivating Sugarcane to Mangoes,” said Kaingu.

Zambia Sugar PLC employs a total of 6,000 employees and 30,000 people on the estates.

Meanwhile, Mr Kaingu has described Patriotic Front (PF) presidential candidate, Micheal Sata, as ‘a comedian ‘ not fit to rule Zambia.

Mr Kaingu said Zambians will make a terrible mistake to vote for a leader like Mr Sata who he said has no vision for this country apart from creating confusion.

Mr Kaingu said the current administrative problems rocking the PF party clearly showed the disorganization in Mr Sata’s leadership style.

He said such a leader like Mr Sata cannot be entrusted with the task of presiding over the affairs of the nation.

  1. The level of desperation of these so-called leaders is amazing…the next govt must ensure these guys are thoroughly investigated for the period from the time Levy left for Egypt….

  4. I had doubts that MMD will lose these elections, but with the happenings of the last three days and this now, I have began to believe these guys are on their way out. How can he say that he could easily join PF or UPND and even say they are now in trouble. This is shocking and amazing stuff unfolding in front of us. Am enjoying this campaign. So much drama, where is VJ? Why is he allowing all this amateurish outbursts by Ministers. First it was Mulongoti and now this guy, yaba , cha diba pa zed

  6. Kaingu is a lunatic to have said all that rubish. Bravo to the Zambia Sugar Plc to having had pumped sense into his brains. Is there any honest, sound minded person left in the MMD after the demise of Mwanawasa? Looks we have more lunatics than right thinking persons and they are exposing their cadre lunacy each single day. Every single day brings with it a suprise of mad individuals to the already growing list of MMD vultures of the Shakas, RB, Mulongoti, Kaingu,etc. Guess what tomorow brings…

  7. I hope this election will not be Kenyan or Zimbabwean style. gOVERNMENT MINISTERS ARE REALLY ANXIUOS ABOUT THEIR POSITION to display this level of desparation. Giving money to nonentities like cosma mumba to win support, I cant imagine. Is this the way RB is going to maintain LPM’s legacy?

    And attempts by Company Co-orpora

  10. Mulimucibe ba kabolala. HH or Sata will be in State House come 1st Nov, and we’ll see what you’ve been upto of late. Besides RB should resign on moral grounds, he can’t be corrupting other party leaders like that. This time around we need change in whatever form. Who knew Levy would be a good Prezdo, very the mad man Sata can do for now

  11. Order your employees at your lodge as they are a bunch of iliterates who can bow down to your nonesense. Leave soild investments away from politics. Had respect for you but i have with drawn 100%.

    Go PF

  12. Pipo of the motherland, these guys are too desperate. What kind of a person would do such a thing? Zam-Sugar is a private company which employs different poeple from different walks of life, whose vote is secret. Why not respect that fact? What Mr. Kaingu is doing is tantamount to blackmail. So what happens when they don’t vote for his party??? The rest is for your imagination.

  14. #1.I sincerely agree with you,Something must be done about characters like kaingu,GOD help us, what sort of leaders are they if they can openly portray in day light the nonsense they are capable of doing,what about what they do in darkness,i think these pipo have no sense of shame or may have lost their minds in MMD .Look atRB,very shamefull for leader like him indeed,and MULONGOTI very useless ,THE ALMIGHTY GOD is not going to spare them this time,everything shall be revealed.am sure ba LEVY is regreting in to have left these selfish pipo.

  15. This character is a comedian himself and not sata…”it will be difficulty for u to change from cultivating sugar cane to mangoes” what a minister!!1

    Brotherman thanx alot for a PF Song,uno mwaka ni pabwato fyee!!!

  17. Bloggers, desperation is at it’s worst. Now the Minister is putting it clear that the government can try to swindle the electorate by telling them what to do. Remember voting is right for as long as you are above age limit.

    Bootlickers, will cry foul; very soon. Yes, Lets watch the political manouvers. Brothers and sisters shall we vote, and i mean for the right candidate. Time has come for the right candidate, not people that want to keep their job. mai mai, desperation Hon. Minister, too bad

  18. Ba Kaingu… Insulting nafuti? Ala PF is a thorn in the flesh of the M.A.D. COMPANY. Tuleteka uno mwaka elyo namwishiba. Muziba ati tibwela. Muli nje nje nje nje nje nje nje. Natulo tunasila. Lesa alamona, elyo alomfya ukulila ukwa bana bakwe. Twachula sana. Twamitotela mwe Lesa paku penya aba M.A.D.

  21. only the wise will learn from this these ministers think they are so superior and yet you blame others to be dictators is that not dictating votes stop all the intimidation and grow up minister my foot. Bravo management of zambia sugar.

  22. Mr Michael Kaingu, I am sorry, but I believe this is insulting the intelligence and voting rights of Southern Province voters.If the Zambian electorate in the Southern Province in particular and other Zambian Provinces in general, then it is your time to leave as a Party in GOVERNMENT.Some of you so-called Ministers or leaders are a disgrace to Zambia as a country and Nation. You do not seem to learn from past mistakes – which is called EXPERIENCE. What did the former (late) Zambian President do in Southern Province, Monze, in 2006 and what response did he and MMD get out of that?

  23. This pure UNIP at play taking us back to when politics were even at work, RB’s influence. Ite true an old leopard or is it Hyena, can never change spots/behaviour!

  25. I have always mantained that the Southern Province in Zambia has people who have quality minds. People who vote for cahne and hope out of critical OBSERVATION and ANALYSIS.
    HH has come (HH waboola, HH abweela, HH ataha,…)

  26. MMD in Southern province died in2001 no matter what these guys are only trying their lucky. Southerners know what they want and can not be cowed. Desperation at it’s highest.

  27. the level of desparation as shown by mmd is sickening. how does the entire minister sink so low. doesnt he know that it is zambians who need jobs that the investors provide. what nonsenss is this coming from our leaders. RB is surrounded by thieving and corrupt leaders who are destroying the little respect his has. this is more comedy than sata can ever produce. sugar to mangoes…..

  28. lets take a leaf from zambia sugar management, these chaps are deperarate. they can do anything to make sure that they cling to power.
    mmd kuya

  29. What evidence does anticorruption want b4 the can move and start interogating RB and M.Mulongoti.It apears VJ has groomed Mulogoti to be the master rigger this time around.Honestly in a organised house how can RB say one thing and Mulongoti says another.Between the two one is a Lier.And you Cosmo POLITAN how can you fail to share the K15m with your friend-Selfish cap.What do opposition share in common with ruling party? Disband your parties and join the party you are supporting.

  31. God has alreday ruled out MMD. That is why you see this desperation. I understand they have consulted oracles and what is coming out is that SATA is winning. So they have resorted to threats and bribes. If God says Yes!! who are we to say No!!!

  32. KAINGU MIN.WABONAAA…MULILO WATUKA…SABA WACHA…LUNA KI HH FELA..HALUBOTELE HH SICHABA.HH UKA LUTUSA SHAA.

  35. Imwe bakabolala ba mmd, please start parking, you chi tetamashimba,\Mulongoti and VJ please please we are fed up with u we can’t continue listening top the same crap everyday twatendwa what more do you want u want to make sure u reap all our resources mwapya? pipo please vote for either hh or micheal sata!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  37. HAMUBOTELE HAKAINDE HICHILEMA…HH..BOMA NI BONDATE,MICHAHA NI LIKALIBE KAUFELA BANA BA ZAMBIA.MULIMU ALUTUSE NI KULUFA MWEETELELI SAKATA…

  41. Cannot understand why our politicians behave like id@ots. You walk into Zambia Sugar mukulanda ifyabupuba and walk out with your head high instead of your tail safely tucked with your b#lls.

  42. DON’T ALLOW BEMBAS TO RULE AGAIN AND MISTREAT OTHER TRIBES,PLS DON’T GIVE SATA CHANCE OR ELSE ZAMBIANS YOU EVER REGRET TO HAVE BORN IN ZAMBIA,GIVEN LUBINDA..DON’T USED AND LATER FORGOTTEN AS IT HAPPENED TO WINAS AND AKA…CAREFULL..VOTERS.

  43. DON’T ALLOW BEMBAS TO RULE AGAIN AND MISTREAT OTHER TRIBES,PLS DON’T GIVE SATA CHANCE OR ELSE ZAMBIANS YOU EVER REGRET TO HAVE BORN IN ZAMBIA,GIVEN LUBINDA..DON’T BE USED AND LATER FORGOTTEN AS IT HAPPENED TO WINAS AND AKA…CAREFULL..VOTERS.

  45. FELLOW YOUTH THINK ABOUT OUR FUTURE,PLS LETS GENUELLY GIVE THE BEST VOTES TO NO ONE BUT HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…VOTE WISELY VOTE HH

  47. All along I have been supporting MMD but after critically analysing what has happened in the recent past, my opinion:

    MMD – Corrupt – we have seen and read for ourselves
    PF – The President and the followers belong to the Cha Cha Cha era, they might just set this country on fire which might be difficult to put out.
    HP – They have lost their vision and gone into oblivion (May the soul of HP rest in Archives)

    UPND The only party with a clear vision for this country. People, lets be objective

  48. HAMUBOTELE HAKAINDE HICHILEMA…HH..BOMA NI BONDATE,MICHAHA NI LIKALIBE KAUFELA BANA BA ZAMBIA.MULIMU ALUTUSE NI KULUFA MWEETELELI SAKATA…HH FELA PLS.CHANCE TO BETTER OUR LIVING STANDARD

  49. I wonder why this minister is desparate, when RB, the man wining the elections is cool and composed.
    Kaingu is behaving like opposition leaders; what is his problem also?
    Mr Kaingu, please let RB win these elections nicely without your panic, ok!

  50. “He also bragged that in the event that there was change of government whether Opposition UPND or PF, he would join either parties and maintain his cabinet portifolio”.

    Honestly fellow Zambians; is this the callibre of leaders that we are going to continue havingin this day and age. Selfishness is written all over him! If Zambia is to progress people like Kaingu should definately not be part of government.

  51. SORRY #43,I DIDN’T MEAN THAT PLS,I THNK YOU ARE VERY RIGHT,ITS TRUE BEMBAS ARE CROCKS AND SELFISH…WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL REALLY.

  52. Anyone who knows Kaingu will agree with me that he’s not a man to be taken seriously. Remember Swift Auctioneers and MK investments? He was the proprietor and he lamentably failed. He then sold the companies, bought a farm in Choma where again he failed lamentably. He then sold half of his farm, borrowed money from the banks and built Kozo lodge in Choma. Those of you who’ve been to Choma of late will agree with me that the lodge is currently crumbling. This is the man who supports polygamy and says it’s good for man. Zambia is simply in a leadership crisis.

  55. Dont waste your coments imwe,! Chi Kaingu Chikopo,, i have worked with this fella before,,only nonsense comes out of his mouth,, suffers from mouth diarihoea..

  56. ZOONA BO GIVEN LUBINDA BE CAREFUL SATA IS INCONSISTANCE,HE CHANGES SO OFTEN,OSA ZIPAYA KUKA COMPAIGN.AT EASY UNCLE.SATA TO REST FROM POLITICS.SATA ZWA..ZWAAA..AND RBB NYAMA SOOYA

  59. I can’t believe there are still some pipo wanting to vote for MMD. This party is a Shame. No person in their write mind would vote MMD. Mulongoti should seriously be investigated

  61. BREAKING NEWS!!!!!………..General Miyanda is having difficulty in getting 200 supporters so that he files in his nomination…This shows that he is a time waster….listen to QFM

  63. It is not these characters you call ministers and the like, who are bad and useless. It is the one who appoints them to these portfolios. How can a minister ejaculate such nonsense, to poor workers who are just out to earn a living, get wages of sin, for a salary and try to make ends meet at the end of the day? Give them a break you numbskull.
    “Nshikinshiki Tanganyika, wekakote kekele apo kete sekeyo, pantu, Mwalaleka tume Mfumu tume nabaikalile.”
    Fellow Zambians, Vote wisely, the vote is your power.

  65. #51 Imagine if all registered Bembas heard you say they are Crooks and Selfish, do you think any one of them (including myself) will vote for your candidate? Not every Bemba is voting Sata otherwise you will force them to vote for him in protest.

  66. IAM #54.SORRY BA HH,SATA IS TOO NOISE AND CONFUSING ME SIR,I’M REALLY SORRY SIR,YOU THE BEST MAN TO RULE US NOW.BA SATA IS OLD AND SICK TO WITHSTAND STATE HOUSE PRESSURE SO AS RBB NYAMA SOOYA.AS YOUTHS LETS MAKE THE DIFFERED…VOTE WISELY …VOTE HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH TO PLOT ONE.

  70. #64 YOU ARE PART OF CROCKS.KNOW THAT WE CAN NOT RISK OUR NTIONAL RESOURCE INTO BEMBAS HANDS..ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH.YOU TOUGHT US BIG LESSONS.GIVEN DON’T BE USED PA EASY HON.

  71. Gentlemen unless we change our atitude towards each other especially on tribal lines. Objectivity must be the rule of every zambian in they dids and what they say. What I m trying to say is never practice tribalism in what ever form but be objective, you might be the victum of tribalism as this has happen to the person who I think can lead this counrty HH. The days of my schools days at Chiwala those who were there can bear with me. this will cost us alot let us change my brothers from the southern province this is the result of your behaviour for some of who were there. now let forget that past and forge ahead.

  72. #43 and 51 its our problem that you are dull okay, stop tribal hating.( Mwashuka LT nachinga ama shiwi yamu chi bemba )

  85. This RB is a serious liar who lies with a straight face. Pliz dont waste your votes by voting for him. What can he now say about the K15,000,000 after saying MMD/RB did not give this Cozmo Mumba thing some brown envelop. Let him say something about the Mazabuka saga where his minister is lobbing for support from Nakambala workers. Shame on RB. Thus why he has married a granddaughter. He was boen in 1937 in Southern Rhodesia and his wife “granddaughter is 29yrs. Mathematically in 1979, RB was 42 yrs, thus the same now wife was born. What a patience, waiting for all these yrs for her to mature……. Zoona nika potential.

  88. A biblical proverb says “…what the wicked man fears most, the same shall come upon him.” All those panicking because of Sata are actually only helping him to achieve his goal. Mark my words.

  89. If being a bemba was as simple as wearing a shirt, I’m sure some of you would have worn 10 or 20 shirts, pantu mulakumbwa ukuchenjela kwamu bemba.

  90. BREAKING NEWS!!!!…Miyanda still has not raised the required number of supporters and this has delayed the announcement by the chief justice on who has been nominated…the other parties are running out of patience….

  96. BREAKING NEWS!!!!…..SATA is alledging that Miyanda has been sponsored by MMD…and has been recruiting supporter thru corrpt means…he was speaking on QFM live just a while ago

  99. Brothers and sisters, I implore all of you Zambians wherever you are, at home with an NRC which doesnt indicate your tribe or outside the country with a Zambian Passport which also does not show your tribe/race, to please seriously take a minute to reflect on what really you want for Zambia, Zambians and the next generation of Zambians.
    Then humbly post your stuff on LT or any other blog with Zambian issues. Thank you very much for your time in READING THIS POSTING.
    I will from now onwards DROP the “the TONGA TRIBALIST on the net” tag attached to my LT-username. Let us move Zambia to another level.

  101. I am reliably informed that VJ has flown to South Africa. Am sure you can imagine what he is gone to do there. Remember Ballot papers re being printed there. MMD is up to no good

  102. mmm,we still sink this low in Zambia,I thought people were more civilized by now and see things beyond tribes.

    I personally don’t even know the name of my chief,and don’t know 80% of my buddies’tribes.

    shame on all of you,especially if you are “educated”

  103. #97 Bwezani hope teshina lyobe ilyapa mutoto, mpantu libi. Ama fonti with a language widely spoken. Twali chenjela over ifwe mambala iwe.Waba akaputi.

  104. Welcome to the contest of the strong RBB. Nkuyuma yuma taata, nkuyuma yuma. Nkuyuma yuma baama, nkuyuma yuma. May you all have a great day and have a happy Sabbath.

  105. Bamayo ba #89. Twatasha but dont forget that everybody is happy and proud to be what they are including a DOG.

  106. He thought he would end up with bales of sugar to give to his sugar daddy leader for bribing villagers with. The behaviour of these MMD Ministers sucks!! Please decampaign the MMD. Mwanawasa (MHSRIP)was the only person in MMD who had the country at heart. The rest are a bunch of chancers and thieves. To hell with post-Mwanawasa MMD.

  108. #89, 93 94 you guys have summarized it all! Even if I am not Bemba I am irked by these chickens who secretly wish they were Bemba. Mulichindike inyebo, baboola alimwi!!

  110. #104.Tribalist in Sheffield U are right i don’t know why some of u guys are so personal with Bembas….if U really have issues take them to God.
    Or marry a bemba you will have access to the bemba culture….its so beautiful u know…

  112. It seems to me that a lot of people on this blog like #83 fail to understand the way we Bembas think because they have never lived among us and have a totally wrong picture. If only you genuinely interested, you would find that we are not as bad as you think.
    Although I’m Bemba myself, I have taken time to study the History and fundamental characteristics of the Bemba and I found nothing related to theft or crookedness, rather war and conquest.
    Infact, one unique aspect of the Bemba culture is that material property is of little importance in determining one’s position in society, furthermore, the power to command services.

  114. MMD should screen its organizers,for the sake the party’s face.This is embarassing.Voting is individual,and our leaders should learn to differentiate politics (esp. votes)from national economic investments.Mr.Kaingu should feel a bit ashamed.He should go back to school and learn what A(one)Vote(individual)decision of a citizen is, and should know that one’s decision on who to vote for,is not necessarily collective. Anyway, success!

  115. It is clear that MMD is desperate for power and would use money and power to win the elections.Vote SATA for president,bonse iseni mubwatoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

  116. Kudos to management at sugar plc for exhibiting integrity and courage in the face of the highest degree of lunacy in Zambian politics.I know RB wants to win this election,but this is not the way.Kaingu is too ignorant,lacks loyalty and has let power affect his capacity to reason,if he had any in the first place. How does one become a minister in Zambia? Any qualifications? Values? What a shame!

  117. #110, sorry but just a quick question for thought. Who, among the Zambian tribes, stole something from Chief Mwata Kazambe in the 1700 or 1800s? I will come back with more details later for I learnt this data in Secondary School – so I got to do a small research. No offense though.

  119. #113, thanks for commending the Mazabuka in the Southern Province based Zambia Sugar PLC.
    Yhe SP people have always been object and treat people with respect. That is why votes come out well in SP because People there vote for the best candidate.

  120. All our leaders lack wisdom and I never knew that our ministers can go as far as asking for votes from zambia sugar emplyees and even threatening them about investments.Lets be serious guys.We need wise leaders and full of wisdom and not these ***** we have in goverment today shame on you MMD .

  121. #42 you are still in dark and you need to be educated on issue of sata been the next presido and because you are triblist together with yo part UPND then you shall never rule this country coz u always think in TONGA AND LOZI,SHAME IN YOUR THINKING AND YOUR HH

  122. A Bemba hater’s greatest wish is to be Bemba. Bembas are just flesh and blood like any other people except that they have that drive,that can do spirit that get things done.

  123. Ba Mambala ba MMD muli mucibe ne fikansa Fyachalo. How many voters do you think have benefited from sugar and other related cash bribary. Dalo! Dalo! Dalo!!!

  124. From all indications, I think the MMD is doomed, they seem all set to lose the next polls and when this happens, all nocturnal political creaping creatures of the landscape shall exodus this seemingly expired landscape. It also does not come as a suprise that the two gentlemen who founded MMD, Aka and Derrick have come back, albeit belatedly to save their dying diseased creature.

  125. politics of poverty. Can some of these guys resign on moral grounds like their Western friends do. Do we ever have ethics in Zambian politics?

  126. The behavior of MMD cadres has gone from desperation to mediocrity, its like with each passing day they do something spectacularly corrupt to make you think twice about voting for RB. And they say they want to continue Mwanawasa’s legacy………… I bait they define legacy different from all of us.

  130. Apart from kaingu’s statement, What saddens me the most is the amount of tribalistic debate on this blog. Where has this culture come from, can someone really claim that his tribe is better than another. Yeah we are all proud to belong to whichever tribe we blong, but that does not make you tribe any better than the nexts. Tribalism is card that is always pulled by people who can not intellectually convince other people of their ideas. ONE ZAMBA! ONE NATION!

  131. I wonder how many companies and organisations that have been warned and ordered to vote for sugar daddy! Elo ba swine mulanda ati ni democracy, ataa!! Intimidation at its worst maybe even that sugar they did not even buy it. Who even donated it anyway?

  132. I hope Kaingu reads this site coz if you do here’s a justified comment for you; You sir are an ID#0T of infinite stu9id1ty. You are not worthy to be a leader of even the religion of id*ocracy if such existed. Thefact that you will be retained in govt has just given me one good reason to ask my relatives back home to vote for another person. Ba Zambia let’s find another pack of proper leaders, the whole bunch of them are are losers! RB (Sugar Daddy), SATA (those who choose to forget his panga yielding days have amazed me), HH(skeletons for selling our country’s assets for a song).

  139. Katwishi,

    Iwe, why can’t you keep keep your issues to chew with Tongas to yourselves as opposed to dragging Lozis into this stinking tribal politics of yours? Did a Lozi man nail your mother and leave her asunder, pregnant, with an illegal child called your father or what? Munee, uzisunge we Kaboke iwe, we are not your size, see, we was signing agreements with the Brits when your people were still hairy and tailed premates still leaping from one tree branch to another in Ituri forest and Kolwezi. Ba Kolwe please, ‘NOUGH RESPECTO!

  140. It seems only tonga,lozi and bemba are mentioned on this blog as being tribalist. As a bemba we are NOT tribalist kano abanesu aba balili ha ha ha ha………….

  142. No. 131 you are right we an’t tribalist and bratha don’t single out your tribe only as not being triblistic. Anyway its gata be HH come october 30. VIVA HH!!!!!!!HH!!!!!!!!

  144. That article made sad reading. The ‘minister’ and his sentiments can be described as nothing but pathetic. To think that a ‘minister’ would not know something that even call boys know that an independent corporate entity cannot involve itself in partisan politics is to say the least shocking. No wonder Zambia is headed backwards at high speed!

  145. Kaingu….Kaingu……what is this? Are we going back to the stone age? What kind of shallow mindedness is this? These Ministers/MP’s only care about there own selfish selves. Its sad that these guys will convince an ordinary Zambian by offering them a bag of “ubunga” in xchange for a vote, and then disappear to enjoy their spoils with family and friends. I am so done with freakin Zambian politics, I am moving to Antarctica!!!!

  146. BA ZAMBIA PABWATO FYE. IT’S NOT A QUESTION OF TRIBE, IF SATA IS CAN DELIVER, MUPENI. HE IS THE MAN FOR PLOT 1. PABWATO CABE BANE!

  152. #52. Tonga Bull- UK. You know the man as I know him. In fact he is/was a friend of mine but a crook. I remember his green Land cruizer. MMD should be careful. He is just eating their money.

  155. This is a minister with backward thinking. He must be voted out of office next time around. He certainly does not understand what is meant by “Democracy”. What he did is clear intimidation for which he must be punished by his party. MMD should not be tolerant of such behavior if they are to survive. It is never too late to take action.

  161. PF cadres grace yourselves 4 a defeat on 30th Oct.PF has not bothered to Extend there stregnth to other provinces other than Lsk & CB.The real candidate 2 watch out 4 is HH.

  162. Iwe #150 did they say they will not campaign in other areas? HH may be rich, declaring almost 40bn kwacha i stand to be corrected. Those of you who claim to live in the US such a person with this kind of wealth would be declared as being in touch with reality and thats wat exactly HH is he don’t know no poverty. Have you ever heard him of how he’ll reduce poverty..no all he says is to better the economy for the zambian people..educated and rich you may be bawishi, tell us feasible issues not ifya mwibuku!!!coz believe me I may actually be more knowledgeable than you ifyamwibuku..

  164. This makes me feel embarrased to be Zambian.. This guy is actually in government, makes important decisions on behalf of the government and this is how he shows how capable he is.. I say to Zambians vote useless leaders out of office, you are doing yourselves, your children and the country a big favour.. Get rid of the rotten, stupid politicians like this Kaingu fool..

  165. What is this rubbish! in the first place mumba denied having received a brown envelope when contacted by the post. he said they only had a meeting with R.B. Mulongoti says something else. viva THE POST the paper that digs deeper.

  169. Did you know??? – Early life and diplomacy of Rupiah Banda

    Banda was born in Gwanda, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe); his parents had come from Northern Rhodesia to find employment prior to his birth, and he was sponsored by a local Dutch Reformed Church preacher (and later, the family of B. R. Naik) to continue his education into adulthood. He became involved in politics when he joined the youth wing of the United National Independence Party in 1960. Banda married his wife, Hope Mwansa Makulu, in 1966 and the couple has five sons together??

  170. These croocks are just croocking themselves. Its time out for you Rb and your Tandem of thieves, KAMUZWA

    VIVA PF PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  171. This is shallow politics zoona in zambia and the world is watching the type of politicians/ ministers we have in zambia

  172. Tonight at 9:00pm Watch politics of real issues @ cnn.comlive or on cnnTV, democratic presidential hopeful Barrack Obama crashes with republican presidential hopeful John McCain, live debate on foreign policy and economy

  173. Hon Kaingu, i thought you hard brains. You dont
    even deserve to be honourable, you are dishonourable.
    Let people with brains take over.
    As for your bribes, pa Zambia bwalicha. We will get
    your bribes but come 30th October ni PABWATO kabili
    its secret ballot.We want change.
    Bushe twakulya legacy yakwa Mwanawasa? Mwalila pafula
    shileniko abanenu abakweteka amano. Bamukukulu (mweba
    shibila insala). Efyo bamimbila ati BANYANDULE. Its
    true mwabwedza zico pansi.

  174. Banyandule, a good song. Its a hit among Zambian in
    staying in USA.If you have not listened to this song
    please do. Those in new york i will put up adverts at
    Comlumbia university. Come and get a copy.

  175. #110 Ba Chale, This is the only WISE words I have heard from you since March 2008. Why can’t you go and file nominations? “Mulikwete leadership qualities mwebo, mwi nga lulinga”.

  176. Mr Michael Kaingu – What decade and country ru in? For that matter no county needs polititians like yourself. Maybe LPM was NOT RIGHT; There is a shortage of polititians in Zed.

  177. This is sickening that an MP can actually sink so low,like i had said it just proves the point that poilitical parties in zambia have no ideology or prinicples, if a minister can admit that he’s a free loader, prostituting like a girl who leaves you when you are broke. As a party, someone of such character should be shunned, mistrusted and sacked as minister,if i was leader i wouldnt waste time, they whole lot share the same brain anyway. As Mr Kaingu has shown he’ll be prostituting for as long as he lives.Bloody hell!!!may be 50 years from now when all these old farts have died we can finally have some intellectual real leaders with real ideas and in touch with the people.

  180. Has government shut down LT? comments are not showing. Curse you governmemt!even shutting my freedom of speech on zambia while i’m in another country. Damn it i didnt really think they were that smart.

  181. Obama enjoyed uphand over his presidential rival Mccain in fisrt ever presidential dabate on foreign policy and economy of united states. Go Obama

  187. They Have Gone to Mazabuka Sugar to protect “Sugar daddy RB”!!!!The MMD is desparate. more sugar to donate / BRIBE villagers

    Haa I laugh each day, UNIP caders have taken over MMD. William banda, RB next Grey Zulu will be Foreign afffairs Minister and super Ken (KK) Prime Minister. This shows UNIP in it’s state is mis-managed. there cadres are holding top Jobs in other parties. Shame on them, now they say support’s RB as a person not MMD as a party. The question is: which manifesto is RB going to use. Answer: MMD’s. Conclusion: UNIP is MMD extension now. Zambia Sucks.

  191. the last time i checked, most blggers called The Post all sorts of names and now we are on SUGAR DADDY. Congrates to The Post for exposinf RB. He is now done and if he become Presido of Zed then the world will judge us Harshly. RB and his clones should be ashamed of themselves and quit these election. they are clowns and they should stop this drama cause it is blemishing the sweet name of our beautiful country.
    On tribalism, please stop this stinking debate. i am zambian first and foremost and so i love my countrymates and my country.

  192. Chi Calculos no. 159 why are you telling us about your RB! You boot leaker! We are watching evry silly step and yours was the worst ever. Twakupopa! Fsake!

    Ba Rupo@UNZA.

  193. Why cant somebody pertition these chaps so that they are banned from contesting. Do we have laws. What is ACC and ECZ doing about all this nosense. We expect small parties to be involved in this not the MMD.This is stupidity.

  194. I have been a keen supporter of MMD but the nonsens from ka Mulongoti is putting me off. Kaingu and ka Mulongoti have no morals.
    Shame on them.

  195. I want to disagree with some people’s sentiments like
    All Bembas are crooks/theives,ALL tonga are Tribalist.That is never true,get it from me whoever allages any of the above must be one!

    That’s why when you are analysing HH …pls i beg you dont think his character represents all Tongas ALSO when analysing SATA remember that not all Bembas are represented by Sata. Sata & HH are just two politicians who even when they get into statehouse may not even remember any of your names guys.Lets look at issues like our levels of unemployment,illetrace,economy and vote for someone we think can tackle them professionaly. SO VOTE FOR EITHER HH or SATA. FULLSTOP.

  198. One fun thing about RB and his group like Mulongoti and Kaingu is that,they donot have strategy in their compaign.Surely is that the way we do it.Everyday its corruption campaign,Banda gives out sugar, RB gives out money to Cosmo,this is foolishness we are no longer kids were democracy is concerned.People vote for a change.Sata is the man.Ci miyanda naco i think bali cilishamo shame on you.

  203. Bwezani ziko kuntawi yama-brown envelops
    Bwezani ziko kuntawi corruption wayikhulu
    Bwezani economy ya-ziko kumbuyo
    Bwezani voonse vamene chita-achieve ba-late President Mwanawasa.
    Bwezani ma-politician bukudhala eg VJ, etc.
    Bwezani, bwezani, bwezani vintu kuti-ziko ibwelele 8 years backwards….

  205. Tribalism is the worst form of racism ever. What ever happened to the black race, a thousand years of sleep, or maybe pegan worship. And to think we actually birthed civilisation. Is it me or are there only two tribes in zambia that talk too much. If only the majority would rise so as we could end this hate. may god bless us all.

  207. Ubwatooo!

    Why did you lie in the first place? Why did RB lie? Now they are telling another lie? The money was to endorse Banda. Why not also give PF and UPND if those are your reasons? Why has Cosmos now endorsed you if he need the money for his own campaign?

  208. U guys hu are talking on tribal grounds, have u ever sat, reflect on the empact and effects tribalism. I have lived in those states were tribalism has left a very bad marks on the people. Fellow zambians let us avoid these comments 4 a while. They are not building but destroying. We are blessed to have many tribes, so let us thank God and appreciate each other tribes minus concidering ones tribe to be the best. ZAMBIAS LET AS ALL SHOULT WITH ONE VOICE” NO TO TRIBALISM”
