Zambia can learn from other developing nations – Sata

PATRIOTIC Front (PF) leader, Michael Sata has pledged to shift the concentration of Zambia’s foreign policy from developed nations to fellow developing countries if elected Republic president.

Mr Sata said in Lusaka yesterday that Zambia could learn much more from fellow developing countries than from the developed ones, hence his intended policy shift.

The opposition leader said this when Brazilian Ambassador to Zambia, Josal Luiz Pellegrino called on him at his office.

“In the last 44 years we have paid so much attention to developed nations. We have paid lip-service to our fellow developing countries like Brazil, India and others.

“Our government, therefore, will change that and we will pay more attention to our fellow developing countries because we will learn much more from them than from the developed countries,” said Mr Sata who was with party vice-president, Guy Scott.

He said one of the major lessons Zambia could learn from Brazil, for instance, was how the South American country, with similar conditions as Zambia’s, managed to change from the export of raw materials to the export of finished products.

Mr Sata said Brazilian leaders realised that their country could only be developed by Brazilians themselves and not any outsiders.

“You used to export raw materials but you said why can’t we export finished products. It means you have appreciated God’s gift,” he said.

He said Zambia had the same climatic conditions as some of the countries, which were leading producers of commodities like rice and wheat but there had been too much concentration on maize farming.

The PF leader also said his administration would make the civil service truly independent from political interference.

He said there was need to come up with a situation where the civil service could run the Government even without the executive.

Mr Sata said corruption was another drawback to national development and hampered development of the precious stone sector despite Zambia being a major producer.

He said Zambia was the major producer of emeralds but efforts to earn income from this area and invest in national development were being frustrated by corruption leading to the Government losing out in revenue.

During the same occasion, Mr Pellegrino announced that the Brazilian foreign affairs minister would be visiting Zambia on October 19 and extended an invitation to Mr Sata to meet him to which he accepted.

The ambassador said Brazil wanted to strengthen the relations between the countries and expressed gratitude that late president Levy Mwanawasa had opened a mission there.

He said during the visit, the foreign affairs minister was expected to meet acting President, Rupiah Banda, former president, Kenneth Kaunda and opposition leaders.

Among some areas of co-operation, Mr Pellegrino said, would be the economy and cited the aviation and motor vehicle industries in which he said Brazil was thriving.

He said Brazil could establish plants for the manufacturing of aeroplanes and motor vehicles, especially buses.

  2. it is good that other foreign nationals have seen potential in our next president.foreign policy that relates to other poor countries will surely broaden our horizon than being dependant on rich countries who impose economic policies which are not workable with our poor economic state.
    Go SATA GO
    NIPABWATO FYE

  6. #5 you are OP and going to be out of a job shortly. PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  13. # 5 YOU MUST BE MAD AND ILITERATE.NO WONDER YOU ARE GOLYATI. WHAT AN UNGLY NAME. WAKE UP MAN,READ TIMES. WE ARE NOT VOTING ON TRIBAL LINES. ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION. MY WIFE BEMBA AM TONGO. KUYUMA YUMA BASA.

  15. MAY I JUST RE ECHO SATAs COMMENTS ON EMERALD MINING. THE COUNTRY IS LOSSING SO MUCH FROM THIS SECTOR SIMPLY BECAUSE OF FEW SELFISH INDIVIDUALS WHO ATRE BENEFITING FROM THE ILLEGAL SALE OF OUR PRECIOUS STONES.

  16. Whats your main aim;To be like developing countries or to be like developed countries.Let us aways aim high if we are to achieve the best and quality development.Zambia needs to be developed hence our role models should also be developed and not developing.Am not impressed with the boat.

  18. #6 Amkandawire Nokia

    I am in Zambia and I will vote for a’Banda. But you there in the UK are just a loud mouth busy shouting bwato bwato while sweeping.
    Yet you will never vote. Put your vote where your mouth is.

  19. Time for learning is up, what we need is implementing what we have learnt from developing, developed, underdeveloped, whoever.

  22. Pa Z we are fond of aligning our policies with that of developed countries hence the failure to achieve any meaningful growth. The big man is right, Our friends are developing slowly by harnessing the resources within and not always looking beyond the developed frontiers. Ofcource optimum development is our target. Go PF Goooooo

  23. 13 PF KAFUE
    First there in no tribe in Zambia called “TONGO” it is Tonga.
    You are just waiting time there in South Africa where they don’t need you just come back and reside in Zambia. At least here you can afford decent accomodation not there where you are sleeping in cardboard boxes and doorways.

  24. It’s amazing wat pipo can do/say to get to state house… he should have thought of all he is saying when he was in government….benze na chance yabo pliz..we shouldn’t be going backwards….it’s time to move on…am sure ba PF muza shoot… why r u guys so emotional? i guess it’s true what they say..the truth hurts

  25. #14 ubo bupuba. this a very clear policy which right thinking zedian should welcome.Already developed country like dumping things they failed to develop properly in poor countries like zed, computers came from china as a donation some were in their languanges which we have even failed to use.ECZ was given a printer by china,today we cant use it coz the failed part cant be found anywhere.Viva presido.sata viva.Lucy where are u.

  26. Zambia’s foreign policy has never been one sided. I don’t think there is anything new in what Sata is saying.

  27. PF SWEEPING THE RURAL AREAS. MMD ELECTRIFIED, PITY THAT YOU EVEN HIRE FOREN IMAGE BUIDERS FOR WHAT???? DID YOU PEOPLE SEE NYAMASOYA BEEN DECAMPAIGNED ON THE BIILBOARD IN TODAYS POST.

  31. #8..whats so nice about that photo? He’s just ugly, and no matter how hard the photographer may try, it will come out ugly!

  32. Hon Sata and all PF (Progress Finders), please go and support HH before it is too late for you to expire in Zambian Politics. We need you as Prime Minister with your Given Lubinda as Vice president of Zambia.
    On, “Among some areas of co-operation, Mr Pellegrino said, would be the economy and cited the aviation and motor vehicle industries in which he said Brazil was thriving.He said Brazil could establish plants for the manufacturing of aeroplanes and motor vehicles, especially buses,” this is good news and it is welcome.

  33. Sata does not understand the rudiments of Foreign Policy. To him everything is politicking, he wants to equate himself to Lula de silver who was voted on a platform of the labour unions and speaking for the poor. We have very little to learn from Brazil

  34. ALL THE PIPO ON THIS PA BWATOOOO ARE WOODPECKERS, ONCE PF WINS THEY WILL TURN ON THE WOODEN BWATOOO, JUST WAIT AND SEE!!!

  36. Hey 3t! That’s your opinion and a good one but… you start from somewhere and that time is now when our economy is strugglin. we stand to learn a lot from these developin nations if we adopted their strategies e.g Brazil, Asian countries. Not that they are not developed but ARE DEVELOPING meanin…they are STEPS AHEAD OF US!!! Development is a process and doesn’t come by a flipping of a page.

    May God lead us all as a nation in choosin our leader -president.

  37. #16 3t
    I am very sure you are not a parent as you would have noticed that babies that have learnt to sit find good company or envy those that craw and those who craw look up to those who stand e.t.c. They never look up to parents otherwise you miss the basic things in life. Rome was not built in a day.

  38. Good ideas ba sata if all the low materials we export were 2 be processed into finished goods we would have not been crying 4 employement.u ‘re thinking of these good things at a wrong time. U saved in kk u were not thinking, u saved in FTJ still nothing u ended up carring 2 billion in chopa 2 harras inocent pipo. Who ‘ll believe u now? Yr agement lives in farms, u wants 2 die kuma yards. Give chance 2 new blood u not da only capable zedian. Viva HH.

  39. MY GOLYATI. ITS NOT WAITING BUT WAISTING.YOU SEE VERY ILITERATE. AND BASA IS TONGA TERM FOR FRIEND AM PURE ZAMBIAN COMING TO VOTE IN ZAMBIA. ULIMBE BOYI….

  40. i thought he didnt want the Indians before or has he just changed his mind like before. Typical of the Hard Boiled Mpika Snake.

  42. I was listening to HH on youtube. Iam really impressed with the interview nimfuma na mubwato ni VIVA HH Nomba

  44. Too late ba Sata tata…i can see you are trying hard, but you are the best hypocrite Zambia has ever produced, I am afraid, you have failed to win my vote. Try harder.

  46. pipo lets b serious 4 once,point is, sata cant president he has no clear polices on anything.now he wants to learn poor countries,what?how to beg?? my foot the man blongs to 40s.this is no tym to learn its tym to implement.viva HH.

  47. 35. u rascal. u want us to be led by a Bemba chap from Chitulika who still all our cash like Kafupi did, I think Miyanda is better. If not then lets field Kuluku Lukuku

  48. viva sata lets learn from the developing countries we have tried the developed countries for 47 years and we are still the same find out what measures brazil has put in place for them to start exporting finished goods.go go sata

  53. Spectators from abroad – keep quite and let the pure breeds do the talking and then the Vooooting on Oct 30. Nensoni tamukwete. Imwe ni talking talking ala! we shall vote and vote out RB.
    Viva Pa Bwatoooooooooooooooooooo

  56. Iam not a Sata supporter but at least I have an idea of the ‘devil’. HH on paper is good but it is the tribalists who are tainting his image, as for R.B not withstanding the comments from the Post this is man who has been given a blank cheque to spend tax payer’s money by hiding in the presidential immunity clause. In my view the biggest enemy to Zambia is the fradulent constitution which has institutionalised theft.

  57. #33 ulichipuba. you dont know that most of those buses we uses on intercity routes are made in brazil, zed cant even make bicycles and you dare ask such a stupid question. #29 your name explains it all,you’re a fool at its worst,sorry bru we cant appreciate a comment from such an embecile.

  59. thats very true Mr Sata these are the issues we want not just dreaming, like RB saying he will build on the promise which he has not promised. Sata for president 1.11.08

  62. Good idea from the Presideent worth surppoting by any Zambian who wants to see development in this country. Go Sata GO

  63. THIS IS A JOKER!! WHICH STUPID ZAMBIAN WILL ENTRUST HIM WITH FOREIGN RELATIONS JUST STICK TO AMAPINDA NE NSHIMI.THE PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA ARE FED-UP WITH YOUR PRIMITIVE POLITIC THEY REJECTED YOU AND KAUNDA 1991.REJECTED YOU AND CHILUBA 2001,REJECTED YOU AND YOUR SATANIC TITANIC WORSHIPPERS 2006.BUSHE BASHIKULU MULICHINKUULA.RETIRE IN PEACE (R.I.P)BA SNR KAPONYA/CHIEF VIGILANTE.SINK THE TITANIC AGAIN ZAMBIANS MULEKE ALILE SHIKULU

  64. The serpant is capable of saying anything to give him a vote. He cannot do anything outside politics. Not even owning a farm. How does he expect to feed pipo when he cannot even think of having a farm. He should just retire.

  65. i think some of you guyz are better dead than live if you can not see what the big man sata did for this country.nipa bwato yama

  69. zambia should not entrust her resources in the hands of this liar. he will end up pocketing our money in his endless pockets – thieves.

  72. #58&52 reason ubupuba tebo, post has warned you.RB nonononono……..Chiefs frm south are now didvided why?RB is not a smart person & he has failed to handle his campaigns clean,then how can he handle our affairs?Viva PF.

  73. Ladies, why dont you understand at once. Sata is biogas. Zambians want turn this old human waste into energy. shame.

  74. Developed countries will not teach their tricks lest you be come independent and stop borrowing from them. You learn from developed developing countries. Look at China – it never relied on the West but through their own mode of developing they are now a power to reckon with. You see USA is even stoping other countries from having nuclear power.

  75. This is the same stupid man who says different things to suit situations and has no principled stand. He is a desparate man desparate looking for power. He won’t get it!! Not after what LPM showed the world about a principled leadership. Wailasha Mudala. No third lucky. No No no.

  77. Mind your language. if you won’t entrust him with foreign relations you will be the only stupid zanbian not supporting such developmental ideas

  78. YOU GUYS ITS TIME WE REALISED THAT WE CANT GET BASHIKULU IN STATEHOUSE. PEOPLE ARE NOW VERY SHARP THESE DAYS AND OUR PRESIDENT LOOKS A BIT TIRED.ELO THE IDEA OF MOVING AROUND NE CHIBWATOO NE FIMINKO IS NOT VERY SANA.TULEIMWENESHAMO INE NA FILEKA.AND THE MOTTO YAMAKA VERY KAPONYA/VIGLANTE.BUSHE BASHIKULU TEBAPUNKA BANE.IFYAMAKA FYAKALE.PANSE CHISHIKULU.

  79. Pipo pliz, don’t just critisize for the sake of it. Give credit where it’s due. Learn to read between lines. Not bwetu, bwetu chabe. Pabwatooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

  80. 2006
    Anti Indian,Anti Chinese..

    2008
    Pro India, pro Chinese

    Analysis

    Levy was Pro China,and pro Indian Sata became anti,in short the
    PF leader goes with the wind, he has no permanent standing on anything thing he says,It will be difficult to trust him.
    HH is the only consistent politician remaining after Levy.We can perhaps award him with a certificate of good judgement,no one for now has accused him shift in his policies.

  81. Iwe Golyati you are pretty dumn,we have more in common with our fellow deloping nations than developed ones,countries like china,india,malaysia,singapore,botswana here….there are countries that have found a way to develop policies that have worked for their economies….they compete aggresively with developed countries,singapore was even the first country to purchase the A380 jumble jet…and you say we have nothing to learn from them,brazil can provide a lot,they are leading in fuel independence(boi fuel) that even the USA taps into their kowledge…sata is right,he has an understanding of how we can help the common zambia come out of povert…
    Pa Bwato…it’s the better choice….

  83. #39 even when you are trying to correct me you make a mistake. The correct word should have been wasting. Just come back and vote stop wasting your time in the backstreets of Johannesburg.

  84. I am told Sata’s campaign song is popular in neighbouring Congo. May be he can try his luck there and fight Kabila. We don’t need people of his ilk in Zambia. Too modern for such backward thinking characters. After all he ran away from the independence struggle when others were sacrificing – what does he want now?

  85. That what is called desperation gentlemen. SATA’s political carear has been a miscarriege always on the wrong side of the fence. THIRD TERM, NAKAWALA, 2yr PRISON TERM, TAIWAN INSTEAD OF CHINA, MUGABE FOR INAUGURATION CEREMONY. WHAT A MAN. anyway there are a lot of benefits in being an opposition leader, attnding state functions and donor aid SATA must have gotten the trick from CHAMA CHAKOMBOKA and KEN NGONDO now MIYANDA has also joined the game.

  86. Golyati use head! Even South Africa is going into partnerships with the likes of Brazil and India, why can’t Zed do the same?

  87. seo pano pasu pamunzi, ni mweo mweka.paliye wati aka tiyepe wenye.ni mu bwatooooooooooooooooooooo tyala mwayangu mweo.

  89. Let’s be realistic,Sata’s statement seems to have a lot of sense.We can learn alot from these developing economies.We can apply xsimilar ideas they are appling to their economies to grow.Bid up Sata

  90. TAMWAKABALE AMUTEKAPO CINO CALO. YOU KNOW YOURSELVES AND WE KNOW YOUR BEHAVIOR. IF YOU ARE ANNOYED ABOUT THIS STATEMENT, THE ONE YOU ARE SUPPORTING WILL NEVER BE THE PRESIDENT AND GET READY TO BE RULED BY THE ONE YOU HATE.

  91. Its important that we embrace both developing and developed nations as we have a great deal to lean from both sets of countries.i hope sata does not mean we align ourselves with developing countries and give the developed ones a cold shoulder.Remember that these countries are developed we can lean something from them but we should be wary of countries that want us to enter into trade agreements that disadvantage us.

  92. golyati,you should realize that pipo are simply trying to help you and alot others out of the poverty you’ve known your whole life. you probably dont see a way out of it,but there’s a way mufwetu, if you’re content with your poverty keep your dumn opinions to yourself

  93. 2008 election is filled with fears and anxieties. I spoke to one R.B supporter who told me.Am actaully HH’s supporter,but am voting for R.B because i dont want sata to win,the man is a dictator, he has never allowed an election in hiss party,look also at his 21 MPs and the way he has treated them, now imagine if we give him zambia.

    Well, fears and anxieties are weapons for politicians,Imagine a goverment official telling people if you dont vote for us you will not see development.

    Now ask yourself, whether PF UPND or MMD are we doing ourselves justice voting out of fear.

  94. SATA WHAT DO YOU WANT TO LEARN NOW AND WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO IMPLEMENT IT.YOUR OLD AND ONE WOULD THINK YOU HAVE THAE PLAN ALREAD BUT YOU SOND LIKE YOU STILL WANT TO LEARN WHATYOU DONT KNOW AT YOUR AGE SHAME.IF IT WAS HH WE WOULD UNDERSTSND.VIVA HH.

  95. ccj,sata ever ruling zed or not is immaterial rite now.we’re interested in parties offering good policies and he simz to do just that. inga iwe will you ever rule? fool!!!

  96. Sata no vision at all, keeps on changing statements everyday. His time is long gone. Vote for a young man with vision. Vote HH

  98. Sata just a useless corrupt fellow like his brother Chiluba. Zambians this is no time for tribalism Vote for energatic young men. The snake will die in State House too!

  99. Mr Sata with his party vice-president, Guy Scott (though white) do not know what they are talking about. Most of the companies in the developing countries including S Africa here where I am, technologically rely on the developed world, through technology transfer. that is a joke. I have to many industries. Equipment for those industries is coming from the developed world. Elo lwanya nomba.

  100. # 5! We have a great deal to learn from some of our fellow third world countries that are doing well, economically speaking. How can we compare ourselves and learn from a country like the USA that can pump $700 billion US Dollars into the economy when we can hardly manage $ 5 billion US Dollars for our National Budget?!!! The gulf is too wide to cross! For sure we have a lot to learn from one another; and cooperation must be enhanced for our benefit.

  101. pliz some of u, do you use free internet. I say so coz you jst think of writing what ever comes in your swallow minds,let us be serious when comment’n on issues of national importance.

  102. FOOLS NEVER LEARN.THEY HAVE NO PRINCIPLES HENCE NO FIXED PLAN.THEY SAY ONE THING TO DAY AND ANOTHER TOMORROW.
    WHY NOT GO FOR SOMEONE WHOSE PLAN YOU CAN FOLLOW.VIVA HH.

  103. If he was capable of learning, he could have had at least one certificate on his CV. But he has none and that says it all.
    Look at his attributes: No principles, no manners, very poor communicator, an ardent liar, super adulterer/polygamist, poor timing, very ugly, no people skills, very dictatorial, no public relations, very uncouth, very foul mouthed and all the nasties that go with a Cobra. Who wants such a thing for president mwe bantu imwe please?

  104. Ba sata tutekeni. Do not be mindless like young lawyers and leaders in the name of SAKI [Sakwiba Sikota] who are supporting other leading simply because they are seeking jobs. He will see red again. By the time he realises it will be too late. Why cant people stand on their own priciples. Does it mean now they are MMD – So they mislead their flock earlier? I am disapointed!!!!!!

  106. MY SURVEY CONFIRMS THAT MOST PATROTIC FOOLS ARE BEMBAS 98%,old people 90%,illiterates 99%,miners30% ,minibus drivers/conductors 15%
    now how do rule or lead this country into the future with this kind of support.
    NB:IRONICALLY MOST HIS SUPPORTERS ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF HIS INVOLVEMENT IN POLITICS FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS.
    TWAPAPATA TULEKENIKO SHI KULU. TWALIMIKANA
    SINK THE TITANIC ONCE MORE ZAMBIANS.WE WANT ECONOMICS NOT ‘AMAPINDA NE NSHIMI’-PERIOD ELO TETI MUIKATE MULI ONE MONTH

  107. Sata is old (sick), HH not experinced(tribalist), RB is corrupt atleast thats what I have picked from the contributions. I have a suggestion , let us try The General. He is non of the above.

  108. #91. CCJ,
    I totally agree with you, there is no need to shift concentration but to expand it.
    SATA is right to say we can learn a lot from developing nations, but I do not agree with him when he says he will shift concentration.
    Each of these economies has its own aspect of knowledge Zambia needs.
    The idea of polarised policies or international policies will not help Zambia in this era.
    Our country needs to be free to relate with as many countries as possible, and for each country to devise trategic areas of economic interests.
    As we do that we should guard against enchroaching in the internal affairs of these countries or entangling in their relations with other countries.

  109. #47 Mastubator.
    Am not a rascal and maybe youare!!!
    We are not talking about tribes here,koswe iwe!
    If you have nothing to offer,shut your mouth and get back to your sweeping!
    After all,you are not even voting!!!!!!!!1

  110. LATEST.Prophet T.B.Joshua has foreseen the outcome of this election.He said the ruling party shall win the elections but cautions on the violence that shall follow. LETS PRAY FOR THIS NATION TO AVOID THAT CHAOS.

  111. #81 Leona.You sound like you are a type who thinks Lusaka qualifies to be called a city. And that the Lusaka qualifies to be called International Airport. Each time I land at Lusaka, I then feel how backward we are. It therefore suddens me that we should evening be debating about who should be the next president of Zambia. These old guys, KK, RB, Sata have done their part. It is our time to make change in our country.

  112. Engine,you got it right, Sata has no experiecnce in the ruling govt,but only has experience in the opposition,such that asking him to shift from his wrong bench to the right one will be like wearing a baby a wet nappie,very uncomfortable.

    I question Sata’s judgement to lead Zambia based on him being always on the wrong side of things,alwez opposing good.He controls the councils, but his 90 days never materilaised.3rd term,Anti Chines,Anti India, Mugabe issue.No judgement to lead.

    Experience based on wrong choices every time he makes a decision.

  114. Ha ha ha ha,instead of RB hiring PR Specialists,Sata should have been the one who should have done it,he especially needs someone who is multi talented to teach him many things,he just goes with the wind & so do his supporters,now he says a blind man should lead a fellow blind man & the clan say Amen! Oh no,no third world country should take an example or depend on another third world country,we need to look at those on top,how did they make it,these are the same chaps who are calling 4 a govt of national unity just because Kenya & Zim have some old men who don’t want to go when their time.

  115. Zambians plse be serious vote 4 the young man who still has energy 2 take the country forward not backwards 2 unip coupons and promisory notes

  117. Sata olwez on the wrong foot.He is now at it again,Lets look up to developing nations.That is why Engine says,this man is a professional opposition leader.Always opposite to global trends.

  118. Those of you from the age of 16 to 55 supporting any of the two old guys feed directly from these fellows. The old guys will never make any tangible change to our country. The hour for change in our country is now. The policies of MMD are still terrible, Sata is not any different. Colonial mentalities only. Ni pa kuboko fye. The future is in our HANDS not PABWATO or NKOLOKO. We work with our HANDS all the time. Not everybody has NKOLOKO or UBWATO.This time ni pa KUBOKO epela.Viva HH.

  120. some pipo say pf is full of illitrates, suprisingly enough,these pf critics have failed to comprehend the simple principles of life that sata is talking about. when i was in primary and high school i was taught by pipo with deplomas and degrees,when i went to university i was taught by pipo with a minimum of a masters degree. you cant have professors teaching grade ones.
    i totally agree with sata’s reasoning on this one

  121. No. 47 MASTUBATOR, WHOM DOU YOU MUSTURBATE WITH. IS IT THE ONE YOU ARE SUPPORTING. NO WONDER THE ONE YOU SUPPORT SHALL NEVER BE THE PRESIDENT. HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF SUCH A NAME. I THINK YOU ALSO NEED IMAGE BUILDERS.

  122. Most of you will just waste your time queing up in the october sun to vote for somebody who will never rule zambia. Sata is the best joke out of Zambia. I wonder why people are supporting him…just shows how many fools we have in zed!

  123. Emeralds is my area, it is true that because of unscuplous people the country is not benfiting much from it. Zambia has the best emerald in the world. There three emerald recognised in the world, i.e Zambian, Brazilian and Columbian. The prices are The columbian, Brazilian and zambian. The Columbian are five times more in price than the Zambian and the brazilian is three times more. The reason being that many of these selfish people in Zed sell them uncut which reduces value to any Gem stone among other things. Zambian is the best but lowest inprices but right now the Americans are trying to advertise alot in their country for the price to go high.Its their four things check on a gem.

  125. #29 Hatred, name-calling or bitterness will not develop Zambia. Let us learn to critically analyse each aspirant candidates’ pros and cons and choose the one that outsmarts all of them. The biggest dundahead is you for failing to appreciate and analyse other people’s views. Yes Brazil is a developing developed country and it is one of the emerging world economies. So if they are succeeding, why can’t Zambia learn from them? May all the haters choke with frustration. May the best man carry the day!

  126. #125 well said. At least Sata has the humility to admit that we need to learn as a nation, regardless of our degrees or certificates

  127. Chi 124, ofcourse am speaking for self..who do u think i can speak for? I know u can never hear after all.Have u ever seen a fool who changes..Nada no!

  130. Cont.from#123

    On the emerald

    The four are colour,clarity,cut and carat. Known as the 4 C’s.
    Zambian emerald has a very good colour concentration and is well distributed unlike the other two. Its a hot cake in the U.S.A. But people usually want to get it for the lower price. But if measures are to be put, which i do know that recently the country has become more strict and the prices rose a couple of months ago by 3%. Will see what other measures will be tsken

  132. #122 Zambians fought for democracy to allow for divergent views. I feel for Zambia if your preferred candidate wins because it is very clear that with people like you supporting him, contrary views will be suppressed. Shame on you for calling others fools. Only shows your levels of ignorance on democarcy. Sata will always have support from people who agree with his ideas.Don’t insult those that do not agree with you. I guess this is an HH boy/girl coz you seem to be the only ones having difficulties appreciating/accepting that even others could have support.

  133. Sata, does not only need image builders, but Advisers.Lubinda is a coward, anointee Lubinda fears for his job.

    These consultants should resharp his inconsistencies,his wrong judgement ( always on the wrong side ).Going by this it will difficult to win these elections

  134. SATA, HIKAINDE, BANDA AND MIYANDA.
    AMONG THESE URGLY FACES, ONE WILL BE A PRESIDENT SOON AND I KNOW HIM AND THE REST THREE OF THEM SHALL NEVER BE PRESIDENT.

  135. In fact the man who will carry the day is the best man of the three candidates.
    We will all support him, as he will have been mandated to rull this country.
    If it will be Miyanda, we will support and pray for him.
    If it will be HH we will support and pray for him.
    If it will be SATA we will support and pray for him.
    If it will be RB we will support and pray for him.
    May God bless these four leaders:
    Miyanda,
    HH,
    SATA,
    RB.
    And may God bless us all, and may He bless our country – Amen!

  136. Number 18!!!! Golyati….. Tell them!!!.. these chaps are just making loud noises ka… pabwato pabwato… meanwhile come sunrise October 30th they will be knocking off from sweeping job number 3 to go and sleep…. (no offence to those of u doing well out there…)

  138. Ba#118, we appreciate that you are an HH cadre but this does not mean that all young people should agree with HH. Not all young people in the US agree with Obama, others are for McCain. So don’t condemn people’s choice. Develop incorportaes both the young and the old. Even Obama picked on more experienced and older Biden to be his running mate and likewise McCain picked on younger and less experienced Sarah Palin to be his running mate. This shows you that the old and the young both need each other. PF is not full of old people and I believe UPND is also not full of young people. Let us discuss ideas and policies bane. You will also get old one day.

  140. Statement Made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Fellow Countrymen and Women,

    Sometimes it is considered wise to pay attention to the words of the dead.

    Our late President, Levy Patrick Mwanawasa, SC had stated that Micheal Chilufya Sata could only rule this country over his dead body. So who are we to deny him his wish?!
    There VIVA Pabwata, Viva Sata.
    Pa boat Chabeee

  142. #118 You will also get old one day and I wonder how you will feel if the future younger generation discriminates or rubbishes your ideas on the basis of your age. Mulekwata umucinshi bane this is Zambia in Africa and that fact you will never run away from. It is sad that the so-called young people who want to be taken seriously and spire for leadership ae showing som much signs of resentment and disespect for the older generation. Balya ni ba wiso. You need his wisdom just like he needs your fresh university ideas if at all you’ve been there. Those supporting RB/Sata should not be discriminated against. They have every right dependin on how they interprate their preferred candidates’ idea

  143. HOW CAN YOU BUILD THE IMAGE OF NYAMA SOYA WHO HAS JUST BEEN INTRODUCED ON THE MARKET VERY RECENTLY. PEOPLE HAVE EVEN STOPED LISTENING TO ITS ADVERTS OF BECOMING POPULAR BECAUSE HE IS NOT A CHICKEN THOUGH HE TASTES LIKE CHICKEN.

    I AM SURE MULONGOTI LIKES NYAMASOYA BECAUSE HE LIKES REPLICAS.

    KATELE LIKES NYAMASOYA BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT HE SHALL NEVER BE A CHICKEN

    MABENGA LIKES NYAMA SOYA BECAUSE HE HAS NO MONEY TO BUY CHICKEN

    VERNON MWANGA LIKES NYAMA SOYA BECAUSE IT IS GOOD FOR HEALTH AND PROLONGS LIFE

  145. I love this, the intellectuals from other parties are failing to comprehend basic and applicable concepts that this great leader has brought to the table….

    Well said Ba Kateka!!!

    PABWAAAAAAAAAAAAAATOOOOOO>>>>>

  146. #118 We shall respect your choice. Our advise is that bring forward your ideas so that we discuss them and see how they can be implemented. That is where people get it wrong. Poverty will affect you whether PF,UPND,MMD so if you want me to vote for your candidate let’s discuss his policies and convince me on why they are the best out of all candiadtes not just cadreism. It will not work.

  148. #141, are you going to commit suicide if Sata wins or will you denounce your citizenship? Let us be level headed and not allow emotions to take the better of us. Bring issues on this forum so that people see why you are supporting your candidate otherwise nangu ukane ala tacakwafwe pantu bengi abakavotela Sata.

  149. The way you guyz are expression your views, as if HH will literally be dragging Zambia on his shoulders. What energy does one need to rule? If one is a team leader, you simply delegate some of the functions. Technocrats are there to represent us at various levels and in different fields.

  151. Number 122… shame on you… U think just coz u’ve been on a plane then that gives u the right to insult hardworking Zambians down here. That’s the problem with chaps like u… u get a taste of Mcdonalds.. both the food and sweeping there,… and u think you have arrived…. that is so un couth…. a$$hole!!

    Here here number 144… tell that piece of sh*t.

  152. The word ‘developing’ is a relative word. Two countries can be called developing but that does not mean they are at the same level and they can not learn from each other. For how long have we been depending on the west without meaningful results. East Asian countries developed without ‘coping and pasting’ the developed countries’s development formular. These chaps recommed policies to us which themselves never implemented when they where once like us. They ask us to wide open our borders for trade before our industries are able to compete with theirs, the results are evident. To be honest and objective regardless of ones political affilliation, there is nothing wrong in what Sata said.

  154. Those you are busy saying Sata’ campaign is not issue based, what do you say to this and many other progressive thing this great leader has articulated on?!!!

    THANKX BA PabWAAAAAtooooooooo PIPO!!!!

    VIVA SATA!!!!

    VOTE FOR SATA!!!!

  155. #141,i wonder who see capable of winning these elctions apart from sata.jst accept it,its his time,& this time hez got more suport than last time.

  156. Hi people,, you like it or not, Michael Chilufya Sata is the next Zambian Republican President, period! No wonder you all sit up at the mention of his name. The old chap has guts as compared to the other contestants. You may say whatever you like, use the abusive language now and forever, you will never take away the fame from him. He may have a bad side, but he can not be compared with the others.

    VIVA MCS – LIBERATE ZAMBIA

  157. #114 It is very clear that he Sata haters are failing to appreciate that what we need here is to advance each candidates’ideas. The issue of image builders for Sata does not arise here. Just tell us why we should shift camp and vote for your candidate. chapwa. Sarcasm and all other things will not help your candiadte win, in fact you will be de-campaigning him.

  158. #151..for ur info am bloggin from Zed, dont be FOOOOLED by the flag put up by LT. I dont think PF ‘fans’ are hardworking zambians, they are just fools blindly following a fool who will never stop his foolish dreaming!

  159. South should reject tribal politics – RB
    From WALLEN SIMWAKA in Mazabuka
    ACTING President Rupiah Banda yesterday ended his campaign tour of Southern Province with a call to the people to reject attempts by some political leaders to practise tribal politics.And Mr Banda said the October 30 presidential election would be free, fair and transparent.
    Source: Zambia Daily mail

  161. from the time i was born in 1979, this is the bestest picture i have seen of Sata.

    atleast mwa onekako monga bantu.

    but i still vote RB… sorry 🙂

  162. LpM himself said at joint briefing with Noah (Sata) at state house that since Noah had opted to remain in the Arch we shall compain fo our canddate in 2011. meaning even LPM appreciated his ability coz he wanted him to be Veep.
    Even in the USA u dont just wake up from slumber and within 2yrs u want to be president just bcoz u headed a company with 200 workers or bcoz u have money.GBM has more money than some candidates. are we going to vote for them coz of money? Do we want some1 who is going to privatise Zesco &/or Zamtel the only parastatals remaining to himself.Even when u have degrees u dont go straight to the top(CEO) to head a company. May God deliver our People.

  163. Only those who know how to are going to, not those who do not know. Sata does not know and this is why he is not going to. We can only know how to develop if we can develop ourselves, Sata is not developed in anyway. He’s not learnt and does not have the ability to rule a country which is learnt. so its better you try another region or country not our own Zambia, nothing like pabwato. Kulibe ivo, nizee with HH, go HH go. The man is HH and this is what reality holds only those who know how to will and not people like Sata and if there were only two men I would go for RB even if he is corrupt than one who is not learnt. Peace is what we want and that is when we can develop.HH, HH,is the man.

  164. “Mr. Sata says there are many developing countries that can help Zambia become a more developed country than it is now. He cited Brazil and China as some of the most developed countries whose investment can also improve Zambia’s economy.” Source: w w w . muvitv. com.

    Please BRAZIL and CHINA are developing countries not developed.
    Viva HH and Viva Sata.

  165. THE MOST HATED PERSON ON THIS WORLD WAS JESUS CHRIST BEACUASE HE WAS TELLING THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH ABOUT SALVATION. THEY INSULTED AND CRUCIFIED HIM. HOWEVER, HE SAVED US.

    EVEN TODAY, SAMETHINGS ARE HAPPENING IN OUR COUNTRY. HYPOCRITES HAVE REGROUPED TO SUPPRESS MICHAEL WITH ALL SORTS OF INSULT. HOWEVER, FINALLY HE SHALL SERVE YOU.

    ONE DAY THE STORM WILL BE OVER IN THIS COUNTRY. WE SHALL SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL WHEN THE BOAT WILL BE ANCHORED ON THE SOLID ROCK.

  166. #117 you may say Sata is always on the wrong side of things and is a perfect opposition leader well atleast he kept the late LPM and his cabinet on theit toes and at least they copied some of his policies that they are today bragging about. Tell me, what did your candidate do to move this country’s development agenda? Young or old, what we shall appreciate are people advancing atngible ideas and policies. Twakana bu cadre just becoz we are young awe!

  169. #94 Ba UPND you are too petty and worrying me. I actually thot you had members of substance but no! I was very wrong. And who told you that when you are old you stop learning?
    Even HH is not a know-it-all and there are certain things he has to learn from others but if you insist that he knows-it-all, I wonder what kind of Zambia we shall have by the time he leaves office if at all he gets to win. You will also be old one day and let us discuss issues here not age. Advance your ideas so that we discuss the, No, you have none!!!

  170. A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.

    Thats why we are on the Boat knowing that we are Crossing over the other side….

    VOTE for SATA AS THE PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA>>>>

    VIVA PABWATOOO>>>>

  171. Hi Na K,

    could you varify that information is the opposition is not winning or the opposision is winning??

    Mwaapolani mayoo.

    Pabwaaaaatooooo>>>>>

  172. PF supporters let’s ignore this “Enigma” chap #158. He’s not worth the skin he resides in at the moment.

    VIVA PABWATO!!!

    MWAKULALILA FYE!!!

    PREPARE, FOR YOUR GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT BECAUSE MICHAEL IS HERE.

    PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

  173. In Bemba they say when a person ages, they become like children. I think that is true with these old politicians who are saying different things everyday. In the end we don’t knoq w where they stand.

  174. #106, sell your candidates ideas. Civilzed Zambians are above tribal politcs and you happen not to be one of them. If you think PF supporters are uneducated, you are in for a rude shock. The only tribal party is your party because it is the only one dorminant inn on region which you know. As stated earlier insults, mockery, sarcasm will not make your candiadte win. Simply sell his ideas and you will woo supporters. No tribalist vcan ever rule Zambia coz in case u didn’t knw it is still ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION but to people like you who would want to promote primitive tribal politics. Shame on you for not getting your facts right. It seems Bemba’s are a real threat to you ahh?

  175. # 153, you call me(152)fool for my analysis of sata’s comments, can you give me your views on the subject please? Name calling is not enough and remember the issue is not Sata but his statement.

  176. The survival of democracy depends on the renunciation of violence and the development of nonviolent means to combat evil and advance the good.

    Those of you advocating for violence through your tribal comments are retarding the progression of Democracy.

    ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION!!!

  177. #18 what is your problem ? it doesnt matter where any zambian is -they have a wright to comment on the political situation prevailing in zambia. It does not mean that everybody in zambia is going to vote . I doubt if you yourself will be casting the vote. As for you insulting everybody who is in the uk as a sweeper, you grow up & start living . I bet you cant even clean your own mouth by the looks of it. At least the uk sweeper can afford to feed himself and pay his Bills . Iwould like to have a one to one debate with the likes of you “BOY “!

  180. Iwe # 165 how can you aliken Sata to Jesus Christ, are you out of your mind?

    Sata’s photo doesn’t look any bwtter to me. Is he naturally a sad amn or what???

    May the best and desreving man win.

  181. At least two thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity, idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religious or political idols.

    My fellow PF supporter lets ignore those who are narrow headed and focus on winning an ELECTION!!!

    VIVA PF!!!

    ABASH RUDE COMMENTS!!!!

  182. There is no time to think when babblers are talking. Given live debates the kaponyas would beat everybody with thier well exercised loud voices.

    I know some people who literally ‘sing’ away their rivals.

  183. IS ZAMBIA A PEACEFUL OR PEACEFOOL NATION? LET US ALL PRAY SO THAT AFTER 30TH ZAMBIA SHALL CONTINUE TO HOLD PEACEFUL PEOPLE NOT PIECEFUL PEOPLE.

  184. does this pabwato man know who runs the economies of the countries he has mentioned. does he know that nothing comes of these countries without the consent of the so called developed countries. SATA do you know who is the people behind those countries. Zambians this man is detached from modern economics, he is pre-historic. either vote HH or RB. i dont know why he wants to be president with his thinking

  185. #10,#12,#14 and #20, and all those who are jealous our Patriotic leader, mwaunfwa insoni tefyo. Unless you haven’t yet done your Masters degree (not the Carvendish MBA nosense and the like)or PHD degrees from either US or UK where the education system is undeniably superb, you can comment from ignorance. For me what Sata has said is what the developed world taught me in UK that the least developed countries have lagged behind ’cause they copy and try to misapply concepts designed by and for developed countries as opposed to learning some lessons from successful emerging economic nations such India, Argentina, China, Brazil, Singapore SA Botswana etc. Viva Sata finally we can develop Zambia.

  186. #63 We cipuba niwe!Don’t insult people’s intellect js becoz they’re supporting Sata. Well alot of ‘foolish’ Zambians as you call them gave Sata their vote in 2006 and a lot more foolish ones will do so this year. Naimwe mwebamano vote for your candidate and see if he wins. Most Sata haters are js tribalist we know you. Even when the man says something straight forward, you always want to twist facts and put him in bad light. Abash mudslinging, abash tribalism abash hatred and insults. Viva development, viva democracy and viva Sata. Pa bwato epotuli mukwai.

  187. Osama Bin Zed yaama epomuli? good to see you again, you really went quiet!!

    VIVA PF!!!

    PABWAAAATOOOOO>>>>

  188. Thats how a President should speak with confidence and focused.VIVA MICHAEL, VIVA PF.PABWATOOOOOOOOOOO!
    We want amato when commissioning Chembe Bridge.Us we cross with boats

  189. PIPO CRITICISING SATA DO NOT FOLLOW AFFAIRS OF THIS COUNTRY. MUCHITAFYE KWATI ELYO MWASHIBUKA MUTULO. SATA WORKED VERY HARD WHEN HE WAS THE GOVERNOR OF LUSAKA. HE WORKED HARD WHEN HE WAS MINISTER OF LOCAL HOUSING AND HE REALLY WORKED HARD WHEN HE WAS THE MINISTER OF HEALTH. WHAT OTHER DEVELOPMENTS DID YOU WANT HIM TO PERFORM WHEN HE WAS NOT CARRYING OUT THE DUTIES OF THE PRESIDENT (KK AND CHILUBA SHOULD BE ASHAMED). GIVE HIM TIME AS PRESIDO YOU WILL BE ASHEMED.

    VIVA BA SATA PA BWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

  190. # 175. Yaaaaaaaba..here we go again….who told you that all Zedians are PF…Coz, ALL PF fans are fools…but not all zambians are pf..grow up fools. And oh, just to clear the air, I am not a candidate..so # 172 u are wasting time decampaigning me….BWAFYA…i will say it again: SATA IS NOT WINNING!

  191. the problem with Zambians abroad is the think Zambia stinks. well
    we are not forcing you to be Zambians, you already left the Butterfly Country and from the look of things, you seem to be telling us that you have the best life so far! All we have see from you guys are no constructive contributions but talk of poverty, disease, how the country is lugging behind, etc. what is there that you can contribute to your mother country. i wonder whether you ever sell your country ku basungu bamisunga – because we have great potential in tourism – there is just so much to see. shame upon you all!

  192. Fellow bloggers, let me teach you some simple social studies coz it is very clear that some of your teachers did not do a good job. Mukafwapofye necikonko. Bembas are only found in Northern province in Luwingu, Chinsali, Kasama, Mungwi and Mporokoso districts. There are no Bembas in Luapula. You find dialects such as Tabwa, Aushi, Chishinga, Bwile, and Lunda of Mwata-Kazembe. By the very fact that the Bemba language dominates these areas does not make them Bemba’s.So mwema tribalists Sata is not Bemba, he is Bisa from Mpika district in Chitulika village. Its a pity that even some of those who claim to have been to university have failed to comprehend this simple reality,shame!!!!!!!!!!!!

  194. 182,184,163 and 127 friendly advise,’Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt and remember that Great ideas often receive violent opposition from mediocre minds…

    VIVA SATA and your great and revolutionary mind!!!!

    PABWAAAAATOOOOO>>>>>>

  195. For the first time in these elections, SATA has said one constructive thing. jUST ONE. Otherwise its only personal issues. However, i must say that his statement is NARROW in its view. South Africa has long lead on this route. You can not stop learning from the WEST. They are developed. Thats why u need to learn from them too. Some Developing countries are also making progress, so you learn from them. But you MIX these things and ADOPT them to your situation. The EAST has great developing countries – Malaysia, Korea etc. So you learn from both, then you adopt them to Zed situation bcoz no countris problems are the same.

  196. #141. Anonymous. Am amazed you can understand. I have of course been to UNZA when it was UNZA where we did not cook in our residents in the days of the GREAT KK. When I say their time is up am not insulting. I said and I repeat there era is over. You sound like you still believe that Mugabe can revamp Zimbabwe. No wonder you believe people in their age can make any tangible contribution to this country. Old fellows you see leading America, Israel are highly educated with traceable CVs.

  197. Where was Sata when A’banda was studying economics;(In PRISON)
    Where was Sata When Abanda was ambssador to the UN. Sweeping at Victoria station.
    Where was Sata when A’banda was Foreign Minister.He was operating as a Shylock.
    Where was Sata when A’Banda was running NAMBOARD. He was running a small advertising agency with three employees.

  198. I guess Sata and RB are just the same…. keep lying to us… always issuing contradicting statements… well! I hope Sata can also afford a Public image consultant!!!

  199. Bitter#190 go for counselling and get healed. your degree of hatred for one Sata is frightening. If all his supporters are fools and you are the only one who is wise may just imply the opposite! God heal the land and may love floursih upon it like ocean water. Nacikwipusha, will u kill yrself if Sata wins? why are you failing to advance ideas and raise issues so that pipo support yr candidate? It is clear that you have no issues to raise. Come on go see a counsellor before you burst!! Nacikukalipa nimbona.

  200. THE RACE IS IN FAVOR OF SATA CHECK THIS:
    LUSAKA = SATA
    CB= SATA
    NORTHERN=SATA
    LUAPULA= SATA
    SOUTHERN= HH
    CENTRAL= HH/RB
    N/WESTERN= HH/RB
    EASTERN= RB
    WESTERN=HH/RB

    SO HH IS SPLITTING RB’S ABSOLUTE VOTE IN KEY AREAS. WHILST SATA ENJOYS ABSOLUTE VOTES IN 4 PROVINCES. HH IS THE GAME CHANGER FOR THIS ELECTION.THE RURAL CAMPAIGN TRICK WONT DO FOR MMD THIS TIME SINCE HH IS GETTING POPULAR DAY BY DAY IN THE RURAL AREAS TOO

  202. # 47 MR MUSTABATOR YOUR UP BRINGING WAS VERY BAD, ANYWAY I WILL BLAME YOUR PARENTS FOR YOUR MISBEHAVIOUR PLEASE BEHAVE AND CONTRIBUTE RESPONSIBLY ,BY THE WAY WHO ARE YOU NAMED AFTER? IS IT GRANNY? CHANGE YOUR NAME MY MAN.

  203. YOU CAN INSULT. BUT YOU CANNOT CHANGE PEOPLE’S MIND. THAT IS THE PROBLEM OF DEMOCRACY IN THE DEVELOPING NATION.

    IN THE PAST OUR TRADITIONAL LEADERS WERE CALLED BRIGHT CHIEFS BUT NOW ARE CALLED BLIND THIEFS.

    IF I HAD A CHANCE TO MEET THESE BLIND FOLLOWER CHIEFS AT ONCE, THE FIRST THING I CAN DO IS TO COLLECT ALL RETROGRESSIVE CHIEFS, PUT THEM IN A BIG SACK AND BIT THEM UP LIKE CHILDREN.

  205. #197 Bane malice will not help our respective candidates win. Let us market their policies instead of mudslinging each other on this fora.
    Great brains discuss ideas
    Simple brains discuss events
    foolish brains discuss pipo
    Which one are you?

  209. #192 thats right on. someone Zedians think the whole North is all Bemba and to correct the record, there has never been a Bemba President in this country. So take the tribal bearing off this election and from this blog.

  210. #200 spot on Mudala, now the trend is also changing in rural area as Sata has managed capture some Votes from those areas….

    Sugar and Vitenges won’t do the trick this time around….Kuvhoka chabee, fimanifesto filya so!!!

    VIVA SATA!!

    VOTE FOR SATA!!!!

  211. Guys. sata does not qulify to be president very far away .Lets give chance t our HH lets be proud in him his the only hope zambia has.

  212. #They say the PF policy of loewering tax cannot work because govt needs that revenue. But why don’t they also say that the PF plan is to broaden the tax base so that pipo are taxed failrly and the tax burden on those in the formal sector reduced?
    Armchair criticism is what they know best. This idea can work if implemented by whoever wins. It will not only benefit PF supporters but the entire nation. Aya ema issues bane.

  213. allow me to quote from the bible,”do not speak wisdom to a fool,for his folly will not allow him to comprehend”.
    those of you opposing sata’s wise words in this article can interpret the quote and see where you stand

  214. #63/#190. You people avoid that Language of insults lets put issues not what you are saying.I pit for you.If you are hurt do not insult.VIVA PF .PABWATOOOOOOOOFYE.

  216. Dont even talk about pictures caz some picture i have seen around its hard to know whether somebody is going to sleep or just working up.

  217. yes we are voting for hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH to plot one..GOD BLESS MOTHER ZAMBIA..

  218. They say how can someone put more money in yr pockets. But they don’t explain that when the tax base is broadened, pipo will have more disposable income. Disposable incokme bushe temuma pockets mwa?

  219. Why a person from Southern Rodesia RB when are we going to be ruled by a Zambian…Chiluba ( CONGO ), Kaunda ( MALAWI ),Mwanawasa ( ZED ) next……? Sata ( ZED ) and HH ( ZED )known facts

  220. #141. Anonymous. I am in S Africa which is among the most technologically advanced countries in Africa now being put on the same lines as India and Brazil. I work and visit various industries here. It can only be without understanding that such a statement on foreign policy made by Sata can be issued. Is it that the man does not understand how the world economy is? Most of the companies here are foreign. Open you eyes by travelling and reading about these things.
    And you want such a man for president. Let him be president for perpetual backwardness.

  221. HH know what he is talking about as the work culture in Zambian. Even the Holy bible records that those who do not work should not eat. HH has made (38.8 – 26 ) = 12.6 Billion Zambian Kwacha in 2 years. This can not happen if you are a LAZY PEOPLE. Look at RBB, since 1964 to 2008, he has only managed to make 3 Billion Kwacha – and most of it obviously came when he was appointed Veep by late LPM. Sata equally made less 3 Billion or so since his days in the British Colonial Govt. to 2008. Miyanda, I do not even know what he has. Please, Zambians, this is not time to insult people but time to work, work, WORK HARD TOGETHER as ZAMBIANS to build a future for our children.

  222. They say he is not investor friendly. But why don’t they explain that what he is against is importing cheap labour from wherever and performing jobs that can be doe by Zambians?
    Why don’t they tell the whole truth and explain that he demands decent wages and afir treatment of Zambian labour by investors in addition to respecting and adhering to this great country’s labor laws?
    Teti balande abo ma arm chair critics. Hatred fye no musalula efyo baishiba.

  224. sata chibayabaya will never rule this country,we need young men like HH,RB NYAMA SOYA BWEZANI BANDA kuya ku farm,we dont to start mourning again

  225. spectator bakamba nilipo. just tryna work harder,evaluation around the corner,kuti bakuchinga ka promotion ka

  226. 203 Provoker

    I dont know what you are doing in South Africa but I inclined to think you mut be a footballer. You seem to have so many challenges with the queen’s language. The word you wanted to use is “beat” and not bit. Bit means to attack with the mouth,it can be by snake,fish,dog, bird, insectcbi or even a human being.

  227. #211 i see you have a problem of comprehending things but you should know that Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done.

    from the way i see it the President has laid it down properly for all to understand….

    Vote FOR SATA!!!!

    PABWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOO>>>>>>>

  228. 203 Provoker

    I dont know what you are doing in South Africa but I am inclined to think you mut be a footballer. You seem to have so many challenges with the queen’s language. The word you wanted to use is “beat” and not bit. Bit means to attack with the mouth,it can be by snake,fish,dog, bird, insectcbi or even a human being.

  230. #197 Dear Golyati, where was Sata when RB was fired from the council, where was Sata when RB was fired from Nambord – you should learn to finish what you start.

  232. somebody where in rsa are you anyway, diepsloot or alex? if the article is too hard for you to comprehend,read thru 9 times b4 u give ur opinion. rsa is a developing country but its far more developed than zed,and thats what sata is saying,lets ask them how they managed to get where they are

  233. They say nicikabova. But kabova tells us that you don’t need somebody to come and sweep clean yr house. If yr yard is dirty, get a broom and sweep the dirt.
    Go to Kankoyo township and see how it has become normal for people to live with blocked sewer swimming in their midst. Where is the local govt system? Shd such issues be politicized or worse more be trivialised as non issues? That is what the man stands for. Come and sweep clean this sewer!!
    You talk about decentralisation which you have failed to implement, give some autonomy to councils so that they perform their duties effectively aya ema issues

  234. 199, yes u r right I am bitter..very bitter actually..it pains me to see such intellectuals like you blindly following a ruffian like Sata who has nothing to offer Zambians. Come on guys..that one is a clown. He will never rule. Wake up…

  235. Osama Bin Zed mudala ndiyankhani iyo mudala, kubombeshafye thats what we are about-HARD WORKING!!!! Obviosly ka promotion kabweela mudala wanga!!!!

    VIVA SATA!!!!

  236. OH YES KI HH FELA ..LU VOTELE HH VOTE HH..FA LIZOHOOOOOOOOOOO…PAKUBOKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….VOTE..HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…NI HH KU STATE HOUSE CHABEE

  237. WAS SATA NOT AWARE OF ALL THIS THE WHOLE TIME HE SPENT IN GOVERNMENT. HIM AND MUNKOMBWE ARE JUST THE SAME. I USED TO HEAR ABOUT THEM WHEN I WAS STILL YOUNG AND IM NOW OLD TO STAND AS A PRESIDENT TOO. WHAT ARE THEY STILL DOING IN POLITICS? EVERY JOB NEEDS A RETIREMENT. WE NEED FRESH BLOOD NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  241. Chiefs are an important part of this country’s governance like it or not.It is shameful that some of those aspiring to be leaders have tampered with these pipo’s integrity by giving them brown envelopes and parading them as having endorsed a named candidate. We shall bring back the integrity of chiefs by confining them to what they know best. Ubwato thriving nama issues. We have stopped wasting time responding to haters. Let us campaign vigorously as they post their malice mwamvela?

  242. AM for RB but lets give credit were its due. why behave as if when you praise your opponent then he will win the elections. thats a sensible statement from micheal at least

  243. Can somebody help us the bloggers understand the real meaning of being Mubwato? Noah’s arch had to do with a great flood. Now Pa bwato for what? Many of us come from hilly country side. A more meaningful symbol like UKUBOKO makes sense. When some body speaks sense we say “manja manja”.
    For all things we need UKUBOKO.
    The hour for ukuboko is now.
    Titiyeni tiyeni, sokoni, sokoni manja, manja.
    Viva HHHHHHHHHH,
    tiyeni tiyeni , manja manja manja manja

  244. WE KAONDES,LUNDAS,LUBALES ARE VOTING…HH TO PLOT ONE…..NO MATTER WHAT WE JUST FOR HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…WE VOTING HH TO SATE HOUSE..

  246. Infrastracture development bane. Did you know that the country’s second largest falls Lumangwe is not well known and is not marketed because there is no proper road leading to the site? These are the roads that need to be contructed so that tourism is equitably spread across all provinces in order for us to gain the much desired FOREX. Bushe aya te ma issues tule raising’er fwe ma so-called dull PF supporters?
    Open up that road leading to Lumangwe alnd you will encourage local people to set up lodges for tourists to be accommodated when this falls is marketed vigorously.

  248. somebody,pipo in noah’s days also lived on hilly land and had not experienced rain for years,thats the reason they mocked him.
    similarly,pipo in zed have been yorked in poverty for too long,thats why they mock sata and his plans for lifting our lovely pipo out of thier poverty

  249. Pliz let us mind our language you cant be insulting the electorates just because they cant and wont support yo candidate.Even the polls that are being carried out I dont think one can say Noah supoters are tribal,illiterate,calboys when he has suport from CB and Lsk.we saw in 2006 how one political party got votes from places they never visited just because they come from there. I respect the The Northerners It is the only province where not more than 55%will support one candidate depending on how you convince them. But some political parties even if they dont go there.Even within Lsk there is one constituency where one tribe is dominant and there this party will always get votes(ECZ stat.)

  250. 230 Nevers
    When RB was redeployed from Namboard to Indeco as director of Operations, Sata was just a hustler in Cairo road.
    When RB reqested KK to relive him at the council to concetrate on running his businesses Sata was chaffing as Minister of State for Local government.He spent his time demoloshing houses in Misisi

  251. Cycle Mata is reading speeches written for him by Guy Scott, kulibe, we won’t buy your rhetoric this time! It’s amazing why The Post is so quiet on Cycle Mata this time around, instead they are calling RB a chameleon?! It’s pretty obvious Sata is the biggest chameleon of all given the number of times he changes his stance…

  252. White sand at Samfya beach. Go there and appreciate this country’s God given natural wonders but you will cry when you see the levels of underdeveopment in the area. All successive govts including that of the St LPM have not done much to open up that area for tourism.Ifwe ni priority.
    Go to the source of the Zambezi river in Mwinilunga and see the poverty and underdevelopmeht and yet this is a potential powerful toursim destination! 44 years after independence Mwinilunga, Chavuma, Mufumbwe, Shang’ombo are still not on the national electricity grid. Then what are yr priorities ehh? Thre is no filling station in Kasempa and you have to buy fuel in Solwezi if you are going as far as Chavuma.

  253. If PF can rule why are you so worked up? I think you guy are wish hard that thing arent like it is. Sorry fellas Kaponyas are the majority and the learnt that democracy is about majority. so if you cant beat them then join them.

  254. #240. osama bin zed. Am not in Sandton like you are. I have read the article. My advice to you young man is that S Africa is where they are because they are standing on the “shoulders of giants” (USA, German,France, Britain). You can not therefore stand up and say we should shift to trade only with fellow developing countries. Zimbabwe is still trading with S Africa but where are they. Do you know of the Non Aligned Movement in KK’s time? Where did it take us? Foreign policy te yakwangalila.

  255. Am trying to post the great news on buts not coming….Osama Bin ZED watch my space for updates, leka mpindeko inkongole

  257. Whether my candidate wins or not, am proud that as a supporter, I have endeavored to raise some of the issues we believe are of pertinent importance to this country’s development as opposed to some self proclaimed intellectuals who are offering nothing but insults on this fora. Shame on the haters. Politics ma issues bane ale naimwe landeni tumfwe.

  258. #158, you are a big APE you know that!! It’s only an APE like you who can be fooled by someone you do not know. What is there to write about RB and HH. ZERO!!! I can’t vote for RB nor HH because they have never demonstrated anything or shown ability to develop Zambia despite having been in top positions before. SATA has done it and history cannot be erased. Mulechimona ba PUSHI. Viva SATA PA BWAAAATTTOOOOOOOOOOOO, BWAAAAATTTOOOOOO fye allcorners of Zed natwikata.

  259. “Reject tribal politics – RB
    Acting President, Rupiah Banda, has advised the people of Southern Province to reject leaders who practice regional politics.The Acting President says the Southern Province should move along with the rest of the country in the fight against high levels of poverty.”

    RBB insults the people of Southern Province’s intelligence. How could the Southern Province people vote for corrupt people?

  262. #256 all of them come back to refuel in Lusaka.Maybe you should be asking about Godfrey who hasnt even started off to the village. Genreal are you still packing or waiting for envelopes from RB?

  263. Citizens’ empowerment bane is not just accessing some fund from some institution. It is about putting in place policies that will encourage Zambians to venture into various business activities to gain a livelihood.
    If you open these areas for tourism by say putting up good rods, you’d have empowered the locals to set up lodges and they will employ their colleagues to work in those lodges thereby creating employment. So when we say more jobs why do you dispute??? These are the issues we talk about in PF aleni those of you claiming to be geniousess, tell us yr programmes so that we hear why we shd vote for yr candidates. Go on go on. Limbifye imwe issue ni cattle restocking.

  264. HH’s “I will change the culture of laziness” story is receiving no attention. The number of comments is not moving… Stuck at 186 comments.

    When President Sata speaks, everybody is busy typing away… All fingers on the move… shows who deserves the attention.

    SHEAVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO>>>>

  265. Lack of conifidence with how the economy works. you even sink so low as to learn from those strugling.HH has learnt from the best and will get straight to the heart of the problem. Not this learning 70 year old. All the emerging economies have put knowledge based leadership to get where they are. And we are still trying to pick in the trash can for a miracle. God should punish us severely if we dare make a mistake this time. (Just too upset.)

  266. osama bin zed. Without UKUBOKO in our situation, you can not even enter mubwato.However, I wish you the best in the boat. It is time to plough the land and not going into a boat to rest.Zambians do not even have food to enter the boat with. All those entering the boat will starve.
    Infact the boat was an instruction from God. But for this boat, the instruction is from GUY SCOT, and an old sick and tired captain is steering. It is scarery. Please go ahead.
    Viva pa bwato and sink.

  267. Newcastle have announced that Tony Jimenez has left the club, adding to the turmoil surrounding the Tyneside outfit.

    The man appointed vice-president (player recruitment) by owner Mike Ashley when he installed his off-the-field team under executive director (football) Dennis Wise, has left St James’ Park to ”pursue other interests”.

    A club statement on the Newcastle website read: ”Newcastle United can today confirm that Tony Jimenez has left the club.

    ”Tony, who was appointed vice-president (player recruitment) in January, has made the decision in order to pursue other interests.

    ”Newcastle United thanks Tony for all of his hard work and efforts and wishes him every success in t

  268. Good evening gentlemen, those of us who are brave and resilient enough to remain in Zambia must now do what we do best.Go home be good fathers, spend quality time with our families, be useful in the community,thank God that he put us in this great country also thank him that those who came before us created a brilliant foundation for this country. And sleep peacefully

  270. You say we hate Chinese investpors. Chinese even in their own country are known not to respect safety regulations. Kuno there was BIGRIMM explosion, has yr govt given us a report on what really transpired and have they brought any culprits to book? You trivialise such issues when your friends lost collagues, friends and bread winners in that disaster. If we demand to knw the truth, it doesn’t mean that we hate the. Right now there is an issue of contaminated milk in their own country where babies have died? Why can’t we scrutinize the products that they bring here? You will die like bedbugs and you’ll hardly have the time for cheap politiking and insults.PF, that is the one!!

  271. #78 ….THEN WHO DO YOU WANT? COZ U DONT WANR RB NOR SATA ..SO YOU WANT HH? IF YOU DIG HIM GO AHEAD AND CAST YOUR VOTE….DONT THINK ALL OF US WANT THE TONGA BULL TATUYANDI PEPE

  272. Sata does really make sense in most things that he says though it is not only from developed nation we can learn from but from every one because we cannot be an island.If really we have to go anywhere as a country we must stop having favourites but measure each and every leaders words.All of us though from different provinces are one.The courts of arm represents a man and a woman without a label but Zambians.And when we vote,the one we vote for stands as the simbol of every one.I have not heard much about what Mr Rupiah Banda would do though i have noted that he was once fired by Dr Kaunda.About Mr H,H have heard but not much insight in issues he says.With Mr Sata i have followed him and….

  277. REMEMBER KK’S WARNING

    Dont vote for non predsidential materials LIKE cobra…Chizaleta chabe nkondo

    Dont say you were not told!!!!!!!!!!!!

  278. That doesn’t sound bad at all, but I only hope it’s not an excuse for Sata’s unpopular foreign policy especially with the developed nations. It’s always clear and more so now that Sata has no capacity to see things in a global perspective! Never heard anyone (apart from Mugabe) who shuns countries like India & China? Nzelu zamu local Govt. Sata!

  280. #271. HAZEL EYES. Your comment is very ugly. Hasn’t a Tonga ever taught you? Hasn’t a Tonga ever nursed you at a hospital? Hasn’t a Tonga ever driven or flown you in an aircraft before? Didn’t Tongas together with the rest fight for independence? Your mind requires renewing. Chamba too much.You cant see further than you nose. No wonder hazel eyes.

  281. #270

    What I am saying is: in one statement you have mentioned the following- hate cihinese, explosion, baby milk, culprits to book.

    Dont insult me just yet.

  283. When I look at most people in this blog, I think we all know who will win. Its just that each of us are trying to encourage ourselves for our candidates.
    There are three losers and one winner, and the winner we all know.
    Some of us are very shy to admit that our candidate has lost so we keep encouraging ourselves.
    Anyway, that is what we call fighting spirit. Keep on fighting until you are pronouced loser. If ECZ does not pronounce your candidate a loser, at least they will pronounce another candidate winner.
    Some of you who are so addicted to your candidates, you will really feel bad, but that is OK, losing is not good. But dont wory because even in the opposition you can still lead.

  284. From#272
    ..i have noted that when governor of lusaka in 1985,he cleaned up the city,he patched up road ways and built bridges.In Chilubas time he change the health sector he was then Chosen minster without portifolio for fear of his growing name in the ministry with portifolio.Above all Dr Kaunda comfirmed that he was a good minister.Where then should we search for a president if not from him,especially if all that i have written about him is the truth.

  286. Mr SATA is one example of a good opposition leader.
    He has done very well since 2006, and for me I think there is no need to move him from his position as opposition leader.
    Even HR managers will tell you that you dont just shift people anyhow unless it is necessary.
    As for HH, he is still learning. He has a good and bright future, after this elction he will pack his economic policies nicely and keep them safe untill 2011.
    But he has some homework to do before 2011, the earlier admits this the better.
    In fact, chiefs in southern province are helping him to reorganise by showing him how wide Zambia is. Otherwise he will be a good leader in future.

  287. Don’t risk your votes for SATAN the old man is sick for the top job now..thick twice…voters.NO SATA this time..

  296. sata sorry mistake…NI KU VOTELA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH CHABE.VOTE HH FORPLOT ONE THIS TIME ROUND..

  301. It is just right to allow SATA to rule for the next Three years. Then we can judge him for his achievements. He will be a Mandela for Zambia I tell you. Just for three years and he lives the mantle to the youngman HH. He already promised that at a rally ……Remember. ALLOW MAN OF ACTION TO RULE ZAMBIA, PEOPLE.

  305. People are afraid of Sata because they know he means business. The working morality of Zambians leaves a lot to desire. Things don’t move the way they should move.

  308. voter2, you asked though you seem to have forgotten to include a question mark “Can HH tell the nation were he got the 40 bn @46years, the truth is he got money from ZPA,”
    Answer: “On Tetamashimba’s accusations, Hichilema warned Tetamashimba against involving Dr Kaunda in MMD’s dirty politics…Hichilema said Tetamashimba should not be jealous of his wealth because records were there to show how he had acquired it.”

    For further querries about HH is method of acquiring his (HH) money, kindly visit w w w . hakainde . com and send him your querry on his contact address there. All the best in you quest.

  309. He further said he would take proper care of teachers, nurses, police officers and all the civil servants by paying them decent salaries as one way of fighting corruption.
    “The choice is yours whether to vote for old people like Rupiah Banda who dozes in meetings or Sata, an old man ‘ba shikulu grandfather’ or a young, strong and energetic man myself who is ready to fight and end poverty in the country,” said Hichilema.

  311. WESTERN PROVINCE FOR HH
    Hichilema also held rallies at Nangweshi, Kalongolo and Senanga, Kalabo, Mongu, Sesheke and Lukulu among other areas where scores of people from MMD, PF and ULP defected to join UPND.

    Many people spoke of the need for change and that it was only Hichilema who would bring genuine change and development in the country.

  313. #311. People are defeacting from the MMD, PF and ULP to the man of the moment.
    bashikulu ba-Sata, please see the wind of change to Zambia and Zambians. You do not have to remian behind Honourable Sata. Kindly, humble yourself and endorse HH before it is too late.

    Countdaown: 20 days + hours and we are counting.

  314. NO VOTE FOR SATA NOW WE HAVE TOM VOTE VOTE HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GOOD FELLOW…VIVA HH

  316. HH is still learning.
    Imagine what he has done on his website, he has put the most unpopular meeting in Luapula attended by roughly about 10-15 women.
    And he entitles it, “HH in Luapula”.
    How can you market yourself like that? You see it yourself and you will find out.
    This man needs an image builder. Politically, he is still to catch up. If he thinks he is OK, then there is no hope.

  319. #246 Anonymous. I liked the falls…I think I know you. How’s it buddy? Lets link up for some investments

  321. Give us reasons why we should vote this one and not that one.It is important for yourself to understand what your prefered candidate is offering and help others to understand what you have understood.It is high time great men and women of Zambia started following issues.And by great men i mean only those with sober minds and proper character.I do not mean those whose meal are insults and have no good language even for their Children.

  325. ‘”So please I have said before Sata, I had him as a governor, he makes a very good minister but I don’t think he can do the work of a president. I have no hatred for Sata as I have said to former president Frederick Chiluba. If Zambians elect him then it is their own fault not mine. Zambians are free to elect whoever they want but I am just telling them what I think about the situation today,” he said.Recently, Dr Kaunda’s initiated electoral pact negotiations between Sata and UPND’s Hakainde Hichilema collapsed after the PF leader walked out of the talks.’ Source: ht tp :/ /maravi .blogspot . com / 2008 / 10 / sata- makes- very- good- minister- but- i. ht ml

  328. #320 no wonder you are fine…is that all you can say surely? Atleast inspire people to follow your example with good reason my brother

  330. Sata and Hichilema met at Dr Kaunda’s Kabulonga residence for about one and half hours to discuss the possibility of forming an electoral pact, among other issues but Sata walked out in protest as the two parties could not agree on who would withdraw from the race since they had both filed in their nominations.

  331. And Dr Kaunda hoped that the campaigns for the forthcoming elections would go on smoothly and peacefully.He also prayed that politicians stop shouting at each other

  333. # 320. Fine!,
    It was just a joke. How can I support a candidate who is running on regional party ticket.
    Take #320 as just a joke. HH failed to make good judgement when tongas told him “we want a tonga”. He saw it as an advantage instead of seeing it as a danger.
    So how can I vote for HH. Even chief have tried to help him see that governing Zambia is not about regional politics.
    I hope he learns something.
    So please just ignore my jokes on #320, #318, #288, and #289.
    These were pure jokes. I will vote for RB, man of the people all over Zambia. RB, Man who is backed by a democratic party not a tribal party.

  341. This is not time to learn SATA. What have you been doing all this time. THis is time to make things happen with energetic pipo like HH. Sata u nid to retire. Responsible pipo will vote for HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. PAKWANJA

  342. There he goes again! Mr Sata is a day dreamer. He likes ctach phrases that are meaningless. Brazil is a bastion of Racism. The blacks in Brazil are still living in deplorable conditions. 90% of the poor people in Brazil are of African ancestry. This ALL clear for all too see except Sata, the London sweeper. India has a caste system you’ll never ever wish to it was transplanted into Zambia. The gap between the poor and the rich in Mumbai is suffocating. There’s very very little to learn from them. We have a culture of respect for one another and for other races (except that recently Sata has fuelled xenophobia against the Chinese ppl). Please, countries like Argentina and Brazil are racist.

  343. 328. Nkabwela (Diaspora),
    Thanks my brother.
    The guy possing in #320, #320, #318, #288, and #289 is not me.
    He has just seen my reasoning and he wants to confuse the bloggers. That is not ‘Fine!’, but some other guy. That is why on #333, I have diplomatically rejected the threads on #320, #320, #318, #288, and #289.
    If you look at me, ‘Fine!’ from the beginning I have never written staff that diplays mere cadre mentality.

  344. People, no need to get emotional. Zambia is our beloved country, whether Sata, HH or RB rules. Whoever becomes president needs all our support because he will not have an easy job to do.

  345. “VICE-President Rupiah Banda on Friday angered part of his audience at a campaign rally in Senanga by his failure to stick to issues that would help improve their lives. And MMD cadres in Mwandi on Friday went into a frenzy chanting United Party for National Development (UPND) slogans immediately after Vice-President Banda left the area after a 20-minute visit.
    In Senanga, Vice-President Banda, who was supposed to address a rally in the morning kept people waiting and only arrived at midday.His failure to arrive on time almost disturbed UPND president Hakainde Hichilema’s rally which was scheduled in the afternoon at the same venue, although Hichilema managed to address his rally…”

  346. ‘Vice-President Banda further said this time around the MMD would defeat PF in Lusaka.”In many provinces, late president Levy Mwanawasa won, in Southern Province Hakainde won. He had nothing in North-Western Province, he had nothing in Northern Province. We beat him in Eastern Province, we beat him in Central Province, we beat him everywhere. So this time around, we want to make sure that even Lusaka, which he is boasting about, this time he will face Rupiah Banda who had been a member of parliament there, who had been a district governor and who knows all political organisers, we have got to beat Sata in Lusaka. We want this to be a last election where we have to talk about kilimuzi….”‘

  347. #346 continued.
    ‘This should be the last time to talk about this snake. Come the 30 October, he must get out of our very politics in Zambia,” Vice-President Banda vowed.

  352. 80% of all the poor people in Brazil are of African ancestry! Do we need to go and learn how to do that? We know how to do that even better ourselves. Visit Brazil and you’ll know why Blacks in that country have stuck to sports!!

    The gap between the rich and poor in India-Mumbai is suffocating. There are no standards that you can pick up from India. Non at all. Do you want caste system standard in Zambia? Indians are clanish, they keep wealth to specific lighter-skinned indians.

    Sata generated the attacks agains the Chinese people. The change in tone is surprizing. He reaslized that while the West is crying, China is still lending out!! By the way, he realized the potential of China.

    IT SEEMS MOST OF US HAVE FORGOTTEN OUR CULTURE, TO RESPECT THE ELDERS. ALL OF US ON THIS PAGE I THINK WE ARE ALL ADULTS AND WE WOULDN’T LOVE OUR OWN CHILDREN TO EXERT INSULTS ON US. PLEASE, IT’S UNZAMBIAN TO INSULT THE ELDERS. LET US HAVE RESPECT FOR OUR LEADERS.
    LEADERSHIP IS NOT ALL ABOUT AGE, EDUCATION OR TRIBE WHERE ONE COMES FROM. IT IS THE WISDOM FROM GOD THAT GUIDES EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US IN OUR DAILY ACTIVITIES. WHEN WE’RE WRITING PLEASE BEAR IN YOUR MIND THAT THE WORLD IS READING ALL THE NOSENSE THAT YOU REFLECT ON THIS PAGE. PLEASE GUYS LET US BEHAVE LIKE TRUE/PURE ZAMBIANS WHO ARE CULTURED.

  356. Basically, any country can chart its own way of development. Study the policies of the Gulf region and their arabic tastes spattered in their infrastructure. Study the capitalistic/socialist countries in Europe in Sweden, Denmark, Finland. See how they have advanced and lagged behind simultaneously. There’s a way of designing own way of life. Take into consideration the work culture of the people, their tastes, their beliefs, their artistic values. Then look at realities of development and the imperatives of foreign investments and the need to add value to education by aligning it to international standards (washington accord, Sydney accord, etc.) Bureaucracy bleeds corruption. Review all.

    WE SHOULD ALWAYS MIND THE LANGUAGE THAT WE ARE USING BECAUSE ONE DAY YOU WILL STILL COME BACK TO ZAMBIA OUR BELOVED COUNTRY BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE WE ALL BELONG AND YOU WILL STILL FIND THE SAME OLDIES IN LEADERSHIP.

WE SHOULD HELP ZAMBIA TO GROW TOGETHER AND GOD WILL BLESS US ALL FOR THIS. 30 10 2008 VOTE WISELY REMEMBER TO PRAY FOR GOD’S GUIDANCE. THANK YOU MY FELLOW ZAMBIAN BROTHERS/SISTERS ABROAD AND LOCAL. THANK YOU.

  358. #351, China’s racisms is well known. Zambia has displayed more racism towards Chinese people than probably they have done against us. Go and figure. Chinese worked with Africans for years and built the Tazara Railways. Language is a great barrier that fuels misundertandings, keep that in Mind. If you read about Zambian in Chinese press. They are very proud of Zambia and they speak well of the country and its people. In fact, Chinese people are buying the Kwacha while in China because they have confidence in the system. Howeverm our press is not kind towards Chinese people. We have no language barrier with Indians, but boy aren’t they separatists. Africa has traded with China since 80 B.C.

  360. you pipo need to wake and see for your selves. RB doesent have a plan for Zed. where is magande? & the inteligent guys??? HH and is bit too raw to be given the top job. you cant run away from the fact that SATA is the most exprienced man for Job you cant run away from that.

    (1) Lack of computer-linked database which is accessible to the public. All government transactions at ministerial level/district levels must be made available to tax payers. A good network of compueterized transactions, (1) Eliminate as many middle-men as possible, reduce the layers of signatories. Create a single licensing and approval authority which is staffed by skilled..

  365. #363, every thing is wrong the whole system runs on a 1972 set up. you need to start from the NRC to the way we sell our companies, next they will be selling the oil prespecting licences you will see what comedy will unfold.

  366. continue..Create a single executive authority with a chief director who reports to a committee of ministers appointed by Parliament. His nomination must approved by Parliament. This mega authority will house all licensing, tendering, export and importn procedures and certificates, land lease etc. The mega authority will operate like ZRA with offices in strategic places. It should have several wings of operations that are integrated and transparent to the public. Eliminate certain approval procedures from councils..the councils should concentrate on projects rather than collecting land lease fees, etc. This mega authority will be easier to monitor: 95% of corruption will fly away. Hire me!!

  367. #364 Bo Sikota Baswabisize. you should disown him, he looks stupid with that ka green shirt of his. ba bafile ka envelope. mwai muba swalele

  369. Ba Sata, flip floping eeh! Today Chinese is Bad, Today they are good, tomorrow, we will learn from fellow developing countries…Knowing Sata, he means learning from Zimbabwe my foot! His party’s name (PF) came from Mugabe’s ZANU-PF, his political party symbol came from Mugabe’s clinched fist symbol. Now he even wants to learn Mugabe’s economic policies…oh no! I now understand why HH is the best choice!

  370. Centralisation is well known for slowing down economic activities. UNIP was guilty of this. Hence the cry for “decentralisation” in the 80s. The level of corruption in centralized activities was mainly due to the peddling effect of UNIP. UNIP was not distinguishable from govt. At the moment, we have see an exective government that works independently like NAPSA, WATER AUTHORITY, REVENUE AUTHORIT etc. We have managed to run these entities because we have placed a premium on peformance based remunerations and contracts. Also, computerisation has eliminated unnecessary backlogs whicb bleeds corruption. We need another well-thought out authority that advances the concept of “one-stop, shop all”

  371. SATA SATA SATA DO I HAVE TO SAY IT AGAIN ? OK NO PROBLEM SATAAAAAAAAAA, SATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, SATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
    FOR PRESIDENT.. NO ONE DOES IT BETTER SATA IS THE MAN FOR PLOT ONE.

  372. i don’t trust HH alamoneka umuchende the fact is u can never change a tonga from tribalism.Only God can change them.AMEN

  373. NO 163. SO YOU CALL YOURSELF EDUCATED WELL YOU ARE NOT WISE.YOU ARE BUSY PACKED IN SMALL ROOM OUT THERE OVERWORKING YOURSELF WHEN THEN OWNERS OF THE COUNTRY CALL YOU ALL SORTS OF DEGRADING NAMES.

    SHOW ME YOU EDUCATION WHEN YOU ARE BUSY BUILDING THAT FOREIGN GDP.YOU ARE THE LEAST I EXPECT TO UTTER SUCH FOLLISHNESS.

    YOU ARE NOT SEEING WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE GROUND HERE. OUT 10 ADULTS AT SOWETO,UNZA,ARCADES, SATA IS LEADING.

    ACCORDING TO YOUR DEFINATION, TO BE LEARNED IS TO STAY ABROAD?MAYBE YOU ARE MAID. COME BACK TO ZAMBIA, I HAVE 2 GREENHOUSES IN CHONGWE AND EMPLOY ALOT OF DEGREES HOLDERS BUT I DONT BRAG, IM NOT DEGREE HOLDER.

  375. #372, you sound like one of those rotten Bemba tribalists…I dont understand you. Civilisation in Zambia is not in Northern or Luapula province its in other provinces and yet some bembas want to fool others that they are not tribalist when they are the worst! How many non Bembas have foroulished in Bemba Land…Stop that rubish, We want real issues here not politics of mud slinging like Mcain! Sata, like you, has no data period!

  376. KA 224 BETTER CONTINUE WIPING PIPO’S BATOCK’S THAN TALKING EFYA BUSUSHI BU GAY BWALI KUFULUNGANYA KU MA EU MWABA.

  377. IWE KA 375 I M NOT A BEMBA NOT EVEN FROM NORTHERN BUT I KNOW WHO A TONGA IS WALIFULUNGANA NANGU NAUKOLWA IFISUSHI FYA PA O5am

  378. ngacha kukalipa uyipaye BA PF ba ka kushindika PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOI KNOW NACHIKUKALIPA BECOZ THAT’S HOW U ARE.hhh ukokwine nechilema chenu

  379. #377, please use English, I cant read whatever langauge it is you are using!!! be civilised my friend, Zambia needs your inteligence. Dont be a hero in the world of fools! I know you can do better.

  380. Sata is a man of the post.He talks sense.we’ve to give Sata the chance.I agree tht he was in govt but he was not a president therefore don’t conderm him .Sata whereever he worked proved to be a man of action.That’s what people look for when voting 4 a president .Always past records are important.
    let us look at HH’s past records,RB and Sata,you’ll find that Sata scores more.Sata was the only minister in Zambia people could remember who did something 4 people.The man has heart for the country.Just that zambians sometimes don’t appriciate what the mandid.If it were in america Sata would’ve been the president already because american people follow past records of the person and judment.

  381. 346 SATA HAD A RALLY LAST WEEK AT KAPRI MPOSHI THE OTHER DAY, ALMOST 25,000 PEOPLE ATTENDED IT. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? LET ME TELL YOU YHIS TIME AROUND SATA WILL GET 75% OF VOTES IN CENTRAL.THAT TIME RURAL CONSTITUENCY GAVE PRESENDIAL VOTES TO LEVY BECAUSE THE LEVY COMES FROM THERE.THIS TIME MKUSHI NORTH, MKUSHI SOUTH, MUCHINGA,SERENJE AND NDOLA RURAL SEATS LIKE MASAITI, MPONGWE,ETC, THE THE TREND HAS CHANGED, ITS ONLY PF. MIND YOU ,PEOPLE IN RURAL AREAS FOLLOW THE TREND URBAN AREAS. I AM ON THE GROUND.

  383. #377 why are you getting waked up. #375 has a valid point. It is only southern province outside Lusaka and CB that claim to be accommodating other tribes. Teachers, nurses, clinical officers and other civil servants have retired and settled in southern province villges. This is not the case in Northern province and you should ask yourself why. The bembas just make you feel it that you do not belong to their province and you must pack and go. This is the very opposite in southern where everybody feels welcomed by even villgers in a village.

  385. #381 you go back to 2006 elections and you will notice that Sata was beaten by HH in central province. NOw that Levy is not there ask yourself this question and answer it honestly “People who voted for Mwanawasa would they rather vote for Sata or HH”. In 2006 the boat sunk in Chibombo, am sure it will be the same this time round. Chibombo will be a game change.

  389. 383#you are just like your relative u can never compare bemba’s to tonga’s bemba’s are better.you are all foolz. pack and go can’t you see i m in euro mumbwa mumwa iwe.i m talking from xperience.

  390. All Of you against SATA must be TONGAS.WE Who are on the ground knows that come 2nd November,2008 SATA will be sworn in as the Fourth President of our country and HH will be in the history books only.May be he will be considered in 2021 if he joins PF.VIVA SATA VIVA LUBINDA VIVA WILLIE NSANDA VIVA PAUL MOONGA VIVA GBM PA BWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  392. #389 ask yourself why southern province is the richest province in the country outside Lusaka and CB. Hate or hero them tongas are the richest tribe in the country and their riches are from hard work and not stealing which is something condoned by bembas. Look at how many bemebas are facing corruption charges. bemba is one tribe that keeps dragging zambia back because instead of working they just want to steal. now zambians know that the tribe we need to sort out is the bembas. they have rain but cant produce food for the country, cant produce beef, not even chicken. Twachula pafula under bemba leadership.

  393. I AM GLAD TO SAY THAT I AM A LOZI MUKWAE (PRINCESS) AND FULLY SUPPORT HH NOT BECAUSE HE IS MY MBUYA, BUT BECAUSE OF HIS CLEAR VISION AND POLICIES THAT WILL TACKLE ISSUES AFFECTING THE SUFFERING PEOPLE THAT I KNOW. FOR FURTHER DETAILS, VISIT HIS WEBSITE

    VIVA HH!!!!!!

  394. NO REASON FOR SATA TO STAND FOR PRESIDENCY BUT MY BROTHERS ARE SAYING LET US GIVE HIM A CHANCE. MWILABA BANE,”UMULEMBWE UWA CHIPUBA WAPWILE MULI TUMFWE.” SATA WILL REFUSE TO STAND DOWN IN 2011 AND WILL ATTRACT BLOOS SHED. LOOK AT ZIMBABWE AND KENYA. WE NEED FRESH BLOOD. ADN THIS NO OTHER THAN HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  396. All of you boys and girls coming here to show your backwardness through insults must be ashamed to even call yourselves intellectuals. You are the ones who must be discussed not HH or Sata….you make HH and Sata look very bad in the eyes of some of us independent thinkers. Stop the hatred and grow up?! its too much

  397. You fellows, you dont seize to amaze me. What is it that u have seen in Sata which he has failed to do for over 4o year’s he has been in politics.

    Its this same Sata who not long ago was dispising our late president and accused him of all sorts of things. Not suprising to me, the old man has turned round and want to woodwink Zambians that he would continue with the Mwanawasa legacy. what corruption can sata claim to fight when its because of his corrupt tendancies that forced the late president to resign from his position as vice president.

    Honestly if u took sata and HH, whom do u think is a better candidate to lead Zambia into prosperity? lets be honesty with ourselves

  398. U mean upto now u dont understand why people flock to sata’s rallies? the reason is simeple, the man is a commedian. Fellow zambians, lets be careful as we go to cast our votes. three years is long enough to wipe out the economic gains made under the leadersship of our late president. vote for a dynamic and visionary leader. dont be cheated, there is time for everything. the time for the other candidates is long gone. dont vote for leaders who are always misunderstood.

  399. I dont understand why anybody would vote for this guy (Sata).

    What is his policy on infrastructure??
    What is his policy on agriculture??
    What is his policy on education?
    What is his policy on health?
    What is his policy and mining and manufacturing?
    What is his policy on tourism??
    What is his policy on foreign investment??

    Guys, please dont make our country a laughing stock. Vote for HH

  400. #392 you have opened my eyes.You are very right.I also now understand why Zaire is lawless.Look at Chiluba and his alliance with katoto.Zambians thought Kafupi was a good leader yet he was bsy dribbling us with plunder,plunder and plunder of our economy

  401. 384 no wonder you are x unfortunately you are not x to life.I dont think its right for you in this day and age to blame a whole tribe for some bad social ills.No tribe in Zambia is immune of tribalism.I am happy to say tribalism is more to the uneducated,uncivilised small percentage.In reallity there is no tribalism in Zambia that is worth worrying.I am yet to see a Zambian who does not go beyond tribal divisions in areas of work,educatin,school,living,language or whatever mention it.Friendship,business etc etc has always been beyond tribal divisions except the lazy,dull few who think one tribe is better than the other and i still wonder why they can subject their mind to such thinking

  403. ZAMBIANS, BE REMINDED THAT POLITICS AND A SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE IS NOT ‘CATWALK’. ITS ABOUT WORKABLE IDEAS. AND SATA SEEMS TO POSSESS THOSE WORKABLE IDEAS.

  404. What has killed Zimbabwe are sactions and Mugabe. Generally Zimbabwe has more potential to develope once sactions are lifted. They have Good work culture than Zambian infact even more skilled

  405. Satas Comments are attracting more debate than any as seen from LT and can see clearing how short minded people even the if the idea is good what to make it useless. Ask HH about satas Ideas lets see is comments

  406. Bwana HH i was at Holiday inn now Called Southern Sun. Meaning part of HH investments. Rubbish i found a South African Contractor Paiting and Fixing Roofing Sheets. What a shame. Your are Political under five

  407. Continue Bwana you cant rule Zambia with that kind of thinking. We have a very high uneployeement rate. I sure for that contractor have paiters geven work permits must have bribed same one.

  409. Have any of you guys considered what Sata is going to be saying at UN meetings???

    When discussing deals with foreign delegates, is Sata going to understand what they are talking about when using economic jargons or is he just going to be agreeing with everything they say.

  410. Guys spare us please. We thank Mr. Sata for his contribution to the Zambian economy but it is now time for leadership with skills. We need someone who has skills to lead us. You cannot get a basketball player to coach a soccer team. Lets be serious. Vote HH

  411. Give me a break! Please comment on an HH story if you want to campaign for him. This guy is too inexperienced; he’s a suit. His vision is impaired by profits and getting more out of people for less.

    You’re thinking of UN! Do Zambians eat, pay school fees and electricity bills with economic jargon? HH cannot spell “NO” when it comes to reaping where he didn’t sow.

    HH for President? Not in my country!

  412. it is unfortunate that most of our brothers and sisters in Zed are not able to understand isues of national development. Mainly due to lack of education and sensitisation. hence to listen to HH is more complex and unrealistic for them but rather simple everyday lies. if we are to have someone to add where LPM left, HH is the only way out. No backwardness, Zambia foward. We are campaigning.

  413. Have you heard orga kents new song; It goes like

    SATA mudala ni missed call,
    RB eve ni guy koswe,
    HH ama ba dabwa chabe,
    Midala izi ni ma missed call.

    VIVA HHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  414. Those of u swearing that certain pipo will NEVER rule Zambia, will u denounce their citizenship if they win come November 1? Let all camps be humble enough to accept that leadership comes from God and whoever God has anointed to take over this country’s leadership will win no matter how much you insult or despise them! Show us that you are better than the so-called kaponyas you insult by using smart language and expressing yourself without offending anybody. PA BWATO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!UBWATO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SATA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!EEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!EMUKWAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  415. Why are we incapable of looking at the candidates and their view objectively? People, this election is too serious to get caught up in senseless discussions. Support your candidates and have an intelligent discussion, it is our responsibility to do so on behalf of those are not privy to the information we have access to. On the subject at hand, we can learn from Brazil a country that even the U.S. admits it has to learn from based on their successes. We do need to re-evaluate our foreign policy and develop partnerships that will bring meaningful development to us and not just look good on paper. Most developed countries do not view us as partners but as recipients, that needs to change.

  417. Zambians hardwork is the way no politician will ever fillup your pockets with more money continue with the hard work you have exhibited since 1991

  418. Sata can t ru zambai uyo nikaponya even if he say dat 2 learn from other countryz open ur eyez zambians sata wil neva change he iz the man of liez Sata can t ru zambai uyo nikaponya even if he say dat 2 learn from other countryz open ur eyez zambians sata wil neva change he iz the man of liez

  419. Sata will only reduce the price of sigarets en only his fellow kaponyaz wil beneft frm his work open ur eyez gayz think b4 u say pa bwato Sata will only reduce the price of sigarets en only his fellow kaponyaz wil beneft frm his work open ur eyez gayz think b4 u say pa bwato

  420. I have been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It?s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
