Voting for Opposition will cost Zambia K500 billion, RB

Acting President Rupiah Banda has warned Zambians against voting for the opposition as this would cost the country colossal sums of money.

Mr Banda also said if Zambians voted for the opposition in the October 30 presidential election, the country risked losing donor support.

Speaking at a rally at Chongwe’s Chimusanya Basic School today, the Acting President said voting for the opposition will cost Zambia K500 billion as the new president from this wing would automatically dissolve Parliament.

Mr Banda said the dissolution of Parlaiment if an opposition Government is voted into power would mean going for another general election that would cost the country K500 billion.

The Acting President said it is therefore imperative to vote for the ruling MMD to avoid a scenario where the country would be turned into a laughing stock by the global community.

He urged the Zambian electorate to vote for him because the late President Levy Mwanawasa entrusted him with running the affairs of the nation.

The Acting President requested the Zambian people to given him the mandate to rule the nation under the MMD for the remaining three years in order for the legacy of the late Dr Mwanawasa to continue.

‘’Give the mandate for the next three years, as you are aware l have been running the nation in my capacity as vice president and in certain instances l have acted as President each time the late Head of State was out of the country’’, said Mr Banda.

He challenged the Zambian people to vote for him as he already had experience in governing the country unlike opposition leaders who were novices.

Mr Banda reiterated that voting for the opposition leaders would plunge the nation into chaos as their dealings were questionable.

At the same rally, Chongwe MMD District Chairman Edward Mwaangwa assured Mr Banda of massive support on October 30.

Mr Mwaangwa said Rufunsa Constituency resolved to rally behind the Acting President just as they supported the late president.

He said Mr Banda should be supported as there was need for continuity.

Earlier, Area Member of Parliament Kenneth Chipungu attributed the loss of the Kanchibiya seat to the opposition PF due to the demise of the Dr Mwanawasa saying the MMD was still mourning their instrumental leader.

Mr Chipungu however told the rally that this time the opposition had no chance to win the October 30 presidential polls.

And Lusaka Province Minister Lameck Mangani reminded the Zambian people not to disown Mr Banda as the opposition leaders were only bent on insults.

Mr Mangani said MMD believed in mature politics as opposed to petty issues adding that Government was focused on service delivery.

Those present at the rally were Headmen Sheleng’I, Mwanduwa, Malisawa, Ndauzeni, Lutanti and Chimusanya of Chongwe district.

  1. Honestly can the donors be laughing at us for voting you out?They will be happy to have you out of the race infact if u lose they are more than willing to fund the whole elections.Shame on u nyama soya….Pathetic liar.

  3. Imwe ba RB, first bribes, now threats, eh? Is this 500 billion what you are in the process of stealing from government resources to bribe us? It is you whose dealings are questionable bwana!!

  4. RB you again publicly expose your ignorance! The new President after this election will not be mandated to dissolve parliament.

    Clearly, this RB is not presidential material! Running the country? My foot! Can’t he see he was just brought in to woo and apease Easterners?

  5. I fail to understand the logic in Ulupiya Bwezani’s statement. Will another general election really be required if PF were to take the presidential poll? I believe Pf has enough MPs to form government. And what is three years after all? They will wait for 2011 general elections. If the donor community really scrutinises the PF manifesto they will not find need to withdraw support

  7. Banda is lying. its not automatic that the opposition president has to dissolve parliament. The opp president can move around by trying to bring in a bit of balance by dropping almost all nominated members of parly and bring in his own. Further, the all the ministers can come from the opp while deputy ministers can come from the ruling party. If the president was in a minority, why didnt LPM dissolve parley but he instead went to appoint all the shikapwashas, nyirongos from the opposition?

  9. kuli kantu uko, now they are saying becoz LMP died thats why they lost the kanchibiya, meanwhile Judy is saying they (mmd)neglected her. zwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaa MMD. PF go with your broom, sweep the dirty minds off state house grounds but u shud also deliver otherwise we are watching coz 2011 is just around the corner

  11. five hundred billion is an imaginally money to be spent compared on how much his campaigns.fuel for his helicopers,fleet of vehicles,allowances to the drivers,food,accomodation to his bootlickers?how much is spent per day on his campaigns strictly speaking its more than what has mentioned if receipts were to be kept.levy legacy are u think u are God do u know if u be there on election day shutup Rupiah Banda?

  12. ha ha….thats so funny…… reminds me of animal farm. keeping you guys in power will cost us even more.. judging by the lavish campaign expenditures in this short time that u have been acting president.

  13. Be alert Rupiah has in measure to remain in office even when things are nt in his favor. Copperbelt and n.western provce is behind sata. AMaka is the slogan in all mines.

  14. i hav been sapoting RB;but am geting disapointed every time he opens his kamwa,showing all the egnorance,pliz image builders wat are u doing?surely things cant be like wat u were teling pipo in chongwe,thats old cheap politics,

  15. #13 Yoz Agency.

    A friend who was born and bred on the Copperbelt but is now in Sheffield summed it up in a single line

    “There is only one party in the Copperbelt”

  16. RB is even clad in a chitenge shirt with LPMs portrait on it..this is a big insult to Levy…..#13 YOZ agency, give us more information about whats hapening in NW province

  17. amaka amaka amaka amaka amaka amaka pabwatoo epamaka power power is the slogan in all miners mouth.kaondes in solwezi have refused to be behind like batacoos.

  18. Knowing the demographic make-up of Solwezi [large group of miners from Bemba speaking copperbelt] I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it’s a PF clean-sweep there.

  19. Since u doubt the PF win and “Satamania”, mince through this. in 2006 estimate results LPM-1,140,000 Sata-820,000,HH-650,000 General-42,000 Ngondo- 20,000.My projection for this year with MMDs lost ground are RB – 870,000 – PF- 971,000 HH- 750,000 and the General -20,000. This result is so leaving Northwestern and western the way they voted in 2006.All that PF will have to is Beat the MMD and HH flat on their faces in CB,Lusaka,Northern,Luapula, Get the Urban areas in Central,Eastern and Southern to increase just by a few votes.Then It will be game over.This what PFs strategy is.So for all those that hate the man becoz of his face just keep upright for he will be your presido.

  21. Why worry about Donors – Always begging from developped nations – stop wasting resources , go and do an honest days’ work and you shall be self sustaining-RB you should know this by now 82 Years old or whatever – Has Dementia set in ?

  22. ¤¤º°¨ ø„¸¸„¨ ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨
    ¨°º¤ø„¸ Bob Marley ,„ø¤º°¨
    ¸„ø¤º°¨ LEGEND 0¤ø„¸
    ¸„ø¤º°¨¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º¤ø„¸ ¨°º¤ø

  24. RB should stop using scare tactics and Levy’s name to gain political mileage. After all Levy did not regard him as his successor. Let’s vote on the boat. Sata will not go for costly elections. Time is up for MMD.

  25. Why was Sylvia Masebo not present at the Chongwe rally? There is a woman near RB in the picture but it is certainly not Masebo. By the way, why fly to Chongwe which is so near Lusaka?

  27. Typical UNIP tactics. Scaring the electorate into voting for the ruling party. The only style of leadership RB knows is what he learnt from KK. Shame.

  28. Zambia risks losing K500 billion if the opposition was voted in.So how much did Zambia lose for voting in MMD?
    Have we now gone back to wa muyayaya time?If Dr.KK campaigned like this,would there be any multi-partism in Zambia?

  29. Only the rural community can buy that crap but even then I am sure they are not that cheap.Rupiya is so desparate he will say anything to get take advantage of people’s ignorance.I hope and pray he rural community can vote differently this time.Nipabwato chabe-ata chi RB!

  31. No. 7; I agree with you. Even Banda was appointed by Mwanawasa in the same way, RB can from the opposition, this we know. RB should tell the people what he has achieved at the defunct Namboard and what he is going to do and not threaten people of the outcome of the election.

  33. its not about money,its about pipo’s wishes.#28 yu are head on !!how are we losing by maintaining MMD in office? its above the figure bwezani is threatening pipo about,its really becoming hot fo bwezani and the camp,mwapya! they say days are numbered!!!!!!go back to the farm and let the incoming sourt these issues out.

  34. This is total nonsense nyama soya! It would be cheaper for us to lose such an amount than u guys looting the entire treasury when in office.

  36. what kind of bull crap is banda talking about? bribing people is one thing, threatening them is a bit too far.
    abash banda!!!!!!!!!!!

  38. Why are you instilling fear into the electorate RB Toadface Banda? The cost is a sacrifice we’re willing to make. Anything to get you out of power.

  40. Rupiah Banda and his tandem of thieves had the opportunity to dissolve parliament after the death of Levy using Article 88 (9)(b) of the Consitution but they themselves where so selfish with the promise of the hundreds of millions of Kwacha they wanted to give themselves in salaries and allowances. It is Rupiah who is costing us this unnecessary expenditure. Why does this man think Zambian are dull, surely? WAPYA RB, WAPYA MULONGOTI.

  42. I can’t wait. What is RB’s vision for this country? Can some one tell me. Housing, Health, Education, Economy (Especially Mining and Agriculture). Zambians let us be very serious. VIVA SATA, ABASH RB. PEACE BE TO HH AND MIYANDA. ABASH BY, SAKI AND NEVERS

  45. pabwatooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  48. No matter what happens RB is the man to go for!!! Gentlemen, someone can have the bad looks like mphuno and the like but that does not matter!! I do not want repeat the same mistake in 1991!!!Ati ukaipa ziba nyimbo!!!!

  52. never than before Zambian’s will not be taken for granted to be negative or pessimistic…because of your wishful thinking “MMD”
    it’s a wrong time for you RB to take away our dreams,whatever opinoin you may have about the opossition leading government after October,30 will not affect our action,we therefore remain deaf to any kicks of a dying horse! sort out your house first with the ballot
    paper’s issue,you will not rig this one!!!

  53. Come what may R. Kelly is carrying the day on the 30th of October…so people redeem yourselves do not waste your votes. Just give my man R. Kelly Bwezani Banda!!!

  54. It seems Ba RB is becoming desperate. I think the image builders he brought ain’t doing anything. There is only a week in between before the October 30 elections, meanwhile on Friday next week Banda will be busy with Independence celebrations as acting head of state while Sata will be busy treading the campaign grounds. Bwezani avutika!

  57. 50. Anti rigging limited company
    I want to agree with you that LT has become mischievious with our comments. I have lost alot of my blog work with LT’s elusive update system. I think the “posting too quickly” was better because atleast I would refresh and have them update. LT yashani???

  61. tell nyama soya he is not the only zambian the people dont want him . i see him to be a weak chicken he is a man that can sign a blank chequre he will plunder this nation to worse . what mathamatics is he using fertilizer from 200 pin to 50 pin .the man is using GRZ FUNDS SO THAT HE CAN WIN . RB IS THE DEVIL HIM SELF

  62. He has seen that things are not going well with his campaigns.Very few people are attending his rallies. He thought the crowds that turned up to view LPM’s body would be at his rallies but things are completely different.

    I am ready to contribute tax towards that K 500Billion provided it brings peace and democracy in our country. Has he thought about the money he is wasting on image builders he has brought from Europe?

  64. I just think it will be a huge mistake for our country to vote for RB. The country needs fresh blood and only HH offers this. HH, Zambia forward!

  67. A little bird once said that the funny thing about this BLOG is that most Bloggers are in the Diaspora and dont even vote! Funny world.

  69. And the billions u have wasting on corrupt campaign strategies? Isn’t that costing the nation huge sums? Abash your cheap and myopic arithmetic. Just be careful in the remaining 12 days because the law will surely visit you when Abene basenda ichipuna!

  70. chi bwezani uleichindika.we want to vote you out because of your abuse in all areas,i.e girls,puplic funds,govt vehicles and so on.we need someone who will respect his grandchildren especially girls. dont forget even in 1991 the oppossition won to kick you na kaunda out of office even this time we want change.MULYA MWEKA DOLLA.

  71. Mwebantu, did you listen to yesterday’s interview. Frank Mutubila-RB. You could clearly see that the two were acting. Ba Frank, try to be professional, we know you eat & sleep MMD considering that your wife has a job with MMD. That interview was pathetic to say the least

  72. Please ba RB find another campaign strategy,that one is old fashion.Why don’t you change your campaign team its like the chaps are not advicing you properly.VIVA OPPOSITION.

  73. LOOSER. LOOSER. BIG LOOSER. CHEAPER. VERY CHEAP POLITICS. ZAMBIANS. THIS GUY IS SO SHALLOW HE THINKS WE STILL WANT DONNORS. HE DOESN’T KNOW THAT DONORS HAVE SHOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT. 700BN DOLLARS. WHERE DO THEY GET MONEY TO GIVE HIM. BACKWARD.BACKWARD.BACKWARD. HE DOESNT FOLLOW INTERNATIONAL NEWS. THERE NO DONORS ANYMO. AMERICA AND HER FRIENDS ARE IN RECESSION. THEY HAVE NO MONEY TO GIVE THIS BACKWARD CHARACTER.

    NO PROGRAM. WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO.ONLY SAYING HE MUST CONTINUE WHAT LEVY LEFT. SHAME. WHAT DID LEVY LEAVE. HE HAS NO IDEA. ANY ZAMBIAN WHO HAS SEEN THIS ARTICLE AND GOEZ AHEAD TO VOTE THIS FELLA WILL BE A LETDOWN. I DONT WRITE ON LT.BCOZ SUM OF THE BLLOGERS WRITE INSULTS.

  74. RB is obviously desperate. Zambias country risk is rated low. The opinion of the global investors and donors is that our democracy is not perfect but it is functional. No one foresees a radical Mugabe style change whoever wins.

  76. I CONTINUE.AM SO PISSED. THIS FELLA THINKS WE ARE BACKWARD LIKE HIM.CHEAP.CHEAP.I WAS SAYING I DONT WRITE ON LT BECOZ OF INSULTING BY SUM BLOGGERS. BUT TODAY AM SO PISSED.HE THINKS WE ARE DULL. COMRADES. AM OUT OF THE COUNTRY. AT SCH.WILL NOT MAKE IT FOR 30 OCTOBER.I FEEL BAD. BUT PLIZ. NOT RB.NOT HIM. HE STILL THINKS DONORS ARE IN EXISTENCE.

    WE WANT JOBS, LOWER TAXES, 25 PERCENT SHARES IN COMPANIES,UNIVERSITIES.THE COUNTRY WHERE I AM IS ALSO POOR. BUT THE GOVEMENT ISS SERIOUS ON EDUCATION. ITS VERY EASY TO MEET PEOPLE WHO ARE IN UNIVERSITY.NOT IN ZAMBIA. MOST OF US, FRIENDS ARE INTELLIGENT BUT HAVE NO CHANCE OF UNIVERSITY IN OUR COUNTRY BECOS OF MMMMMMMMMMMMMMDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.MMD.

  78. Vote wisely and don’t worry about the comments of RB. One has to win and others will have to lose this game. Right now it appears bribing or rigging is not going to work. The majority of the electorate is pretty much focussed and geered for change.

  79. Fred Mmembe and Sata are panicking and are now courting anarchy by preaching not accepting results and accusing ECZ of all sorts! hypocrites! if Sata is confident why he is crying loudest? By the way is Post obeying ECZ media code of conduct? NO! Is Sata normal in his attacks on ECZ ? NO!Mmembe is sentiaonal to sell his newspaper as his cash flow is weak!

  80. RB u r a better person wen u keep quite. No amount of threats will do u good, instead it will just kill u politically. Because even those pipo who held u in high esteem will now consider you as an ignoramus.

  81. Ba RB naimwe, bushe mulebepa abaiche, Donors will be more happy to see a corrupt personal like you out of office, pipo dont just give money anyhow so that you use it to bribe bangwele like Nevers and his nephwe Cosmo……
    Kuyabebele bagai…VIVA ANT-RIGGING ZAMBIA NAD THE POST FOR THE GOOD JOB YOU ARE DOING GUYS.

  82. IN CONTINUE.MMD HAS FAILED.FEW ZAMBIANS HAVE JOBS TODAY. VERY FEW ARE IN UNIVERSITY.THERE WAS A BIG GRADUATION HERE YESTERDAY. AND THEY MADE KOFFI ANAN A DOCTOR.BUT IN OUR COUNTRY. THEY WANT TO BE PAID 35 MILLION KWACHA WEN ZAMBIANS HAVE NO JOBS.

    THIS IDEA OF THINKING THAT DONORS CAN DEVELOP OUR COUNTRY IS VERY BACKWARD. VERY SHALLOW.

    EDUCATION AND JOBS FOR OUR PIPO IS THE WAY FORWARD. RB IS NOT MENTIONING THAT HE IS GOING TO CREATE JOBS. WHY VOTE THE FELLA. HE IS BACKWARD. NO PROGRAM. HE DOZENT KNO AMERICA, BRITAIN ARE IN TROUBLE. FRIENDS. AM BUSY STUYING BUT I WAS VERY PISSED WHEN I SAW THIS NONSENSE. PLIZ DO THIS. VOTE PF. AND TELL RELATIVES IN THE VILLAGES TO VOTE PF. FON THEM

  83. Since when do we need to consult donors before we go and elect our own leaders? Which donor wants us to elect HIS or HER favourite? That is the more reason why we should change!

  84. I CONTINUE. YES FON YO RELATIVES AND TELL THEM. PF. TELL THEM THE MMD MININSTERS ARE GOING TO INCREASE THEIR SALARIES TO 35 MILLION. WHILE THEIR AIR TIME, WATER AND ELECTRICITY ARE PAID BY US.

    TELL EVERYONE U MEET THAT U ARE JOBLESS. THAT U WANT TO GO TO VARSITY.

    SERIOUSLY ZAMBIANS HAVE BECOME CHEAP UNDER MMMMMMMMMMMMMMDDDDDDDDDDDD.
    UBWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. PIPO. UBWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MAKES.SENSE.

  85. We av alot to gain if we win this election. Mulongotis: k256m gold BMW, 3 roma houses. Makeni concubine fully furnished flat! Personal wealth $7m on recold! Wilt keep u informed. Watch this space

  86. Pls, Africa needs a change we can believe in. Our future lies in the changes we make to challenge the present status-quo of leadership. RB, u have done well, it’s time 4 u to retire and watch how the change moves on.

  87. Mr President sir, we ready to lose that kind of money than have you as our president, moreover what you have used on your campaigns is far more than the amount you are mentioning.

  90. RB was my neighbour in chila road Kabulonga
    His 2 grand daughters were beautiful
    Those are the only reason i am coming next week to vote him for.

  91. Imwe kuno nachilila nipa Bwatooooo!!! satamania has hit us like i have never seen before!!!!!!!! Four buses have been organised for registered voters kuno. Tuleisa pa Bwato chabe!!!

  94. #92 Bakalamba they (Ba MMD) dont know what has hit them they are panicking Job well done Anti Rigging. Chisamba is already on fire ku bwato this morning!! This afternoon Ba Kabwe will be on fire at 1400hrs. The King Maker for all Mps (from Bwacha)in Kabwe has joined pa Bwato and jumped Ship Ba bwatooooooo!

  95. ZAMBIANS LETS SEE TO IT THAT WHOEVER BECOMES THE NEXT PRESIDENT DOES NOT APPOINT A FUUL SUCH AS RB TO SUCH SENSITIVE POSITIONS.

  97. I was in Southrn province for a month and to my surprise Pabwato is gaining so much ground.
    Even my fellow tongas are feeling that HH is not in touch with reality and peoples’ suffering in the province.
    In short they are disowning him.
    I think we need a radicle man like Sata. Perhaps things like labour laws can start working for and not against Zambians.

  98. and the verdict is …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..pppppppppppaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbbbbbwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  99. Zambia shall be saved 18 years is enough for MMD please lets vote them out hence this bye election think mwe bantu please pa Bwato chabe…..!

  102. RB 72, how did you come about with this figure?What about the Zed resources you are using for the campaigns, give out the budget?
    You are just a laughing stock or i s it the image builders cheated you?

    Vote for H H , he will make sure Zed economy is power sounding.

  103. GUYS CAN YOU TELL ME HOW FAR IT IS FROM LUSAKA TO CHONGWE? DOES ONE NEED A CHOPPER AT ALL? ZAMBIANS LIVING IN ZAMBIA (WITH VOTERS CARDS) BE SERIOUS. THIS RB MAN IS A SENSELESS PLUNDERER. VOTE WISELY THIS TIME AROUND.

  105. Chibi Peter. Zambians with voters cards are satamaniacs. they will vote pabwato but Mwaanga and the crew will r.. the elections.

  106. THE BOAT IS GAINING MOMENTUM. ANYWAY ZAMBIA IS FULL OF LAKES, RIVERS, DAMS,STREAMS, NAME THEM. SO, ITS ONLY PROPER THAT WE HAVE MORE BOATS THAN CARS. GUYS VOTELANI BANTU OSATI VIPUBA BENA RB AND BUNCH.

  107. #19 your analysis is very weak and biased towards sata. Why are you making the results for NW and W constant? Is it because sata does not exist in these provinces? why not make northern and lusaka constant?
    Anyhow, just look at the picture for sata in the post. Your man looks very sick. He looks late already to me. He laughed at his friends, but look at him now, a scrap of a human being. Zambia should wake up, we dont want another by- election. The post is indirectly decamphaining sata, but because he is dull he will not notice that.

  108. R B SOSA SOSA ICHALO CHILEKUNFWA EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE FULL OF LIES AND DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR.HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN OUR MESSIAH?YOUR POLITICAL INEPTITUDE SUGGESTS OTHERWISE.

  109. RB does not have his facts right and he is on a quest to mislead voters. OOOuuuuuuttttttttttuuuuuuuu RB! WE can not be ruled by an ignorant man who does not even understand the xyz of the electrol process.

  110. It only takes about 35 minutes by bus to Chongwe. For presidential motorcade it can last barely 20 minutes. I dont understand why Nyama Soya could just decide to plunder further by flying to Lusaka’s backyard when he could have just gone by road. This is a clear abuse of resources. Na tubene Saki, Nevers, Aka and the like who claimed to be champions of corruption are in the entourage. SHAAAAAAAAA!!!!

    Bamabala mwaya sana. We shall kick you out come Oct 30. MY VOTE GOES TO MC SATA, period!

  112. RB should be finding ways to make Zambia self-dependeant like Namibia and Botswana instead of blackmailing voters. Sincere donors will give unconditionally, the rest have an ulterior motive which we can do without. We refuse to be beggars for life.

  113. ba RB has no political style. his talk is rather childish.who cares if thats the cost??if thats wat it will cost to oust thos thieves then i see no problem.his now begining to talk like ruthless PF supporters

  115. Akulu Mpuno, ndipo mwa sebanya……mwataya ma voto……………………..PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  116. #112(Nine Chale) i have to say u might be wrong about Namibia being self dependant.this country is just the back yard of SA mwana.the same way you have yo chishala is the way Nam is.SA’s economy goes down so does that of Nam.if RSA has a shortage of food, fuel anmd the like so does Nam.if theres a strike in SA , theres one aswel in Nam.u get my drift

  117. UK PF MEMBERS (THE FIRST PF BRANCH IN DIASPORA) PLEASE, DONT 4GET THE MEETING MEETING NEXT WEEK. YOU KNOW THE VENUE, YOU KNOW THE TIME. SERIOUS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTAL ISSUES TO BE DISCUSSED. paaaARK, pali PF, pali SATA, pa BANTU, pa BUNTU. CILELONGA FYE ICI BWATO. AMA ZAMBIAN NABACA.

  118. # 107 I just copied and pasted that analysis from another blogger. It makes a lot of sense. It is a simple plan of what PF have to do to win the election, showing that it is indeed WITHIN OUR REACH!

    Canoe, wakeboard, raft, boat, ship, ark, pontoon, barge, ferry, surfboard, ocean liner, yacht, catamaran, dinghy, jetski, hydrofoil even submarine.

    Pabwato!

  119. RB PLEASE DONT MOCK THE DEAD.MWANAWASA EVEN THOUGH ONE WOULD POINT TO HIS FAMILY TREE WEAKNESS, WHO HAS NOT ONE ANYWAY? BUT YOUR SUGAR DADDY CORRUPTION SYNDROME SEEN WITHIN AFEW MONTHS IN POWER IS FRIGHTENING. LOOK AT HOW YOUR FOLLOWERS ARE ABUSING GOVERNMENT RESOURCES EVEN CHANGING GRZ NUMBER PLATES TO PRIVATE ONES, YOU SEEM TO BE THE WORST CORRUPT AND WEAK LEADER ZAMBIA HAS EVER HAD;PLEASE RESIGN OR YOU WILL COLLAPSE AFTER 30 OCTOBER AS MOST OF US LEFT MMD WHEN U COME ON AS ACTING PRESIDENT AFTER THE DEATH OF LPM; RESIGN PLEASE, WE ARE IN THE BOAT!

  122. IG on shooting to kill

    The shoot-to-kill directive by Inspector General of Police Ephraim Mateyo leaves much to be desired. In recent times, we have seen police officers being murdered by armed criminals.

    However, we have also witnessed police officers becoming trigger-happy to the point of shooting their own wives. One wonders whether the directive by the Inspector General is due to fear factor or being trigger-happy.

    The directive borders on violation of human rights of suspected criminals and whether one is a suspected criminal o

  127. # 125 TEMBO…i agree with you…you are 100% right and this should be a warning to the Zambians that RB is not ok…Vote for RB at your own peril..Lwenu!

  129. This RB chap is crazy….How did he correct the figure…He has not told us how much we will lose if you vote MMD back.

    Look at him he is even proud to say donor support.

  131. Predictions or rather projections are that Rupiah Banda will definitely win!
    Voting patterns of 2006 will not differ much. Sata’s lead on Copperbelt was cancelled by votes in North Western. His Copperbelt lead was cancelled by MMD performance in Southern province. Eastern made the difference to the MMD victory. Sata will not perform the way he did in Luapula,check his rebel MPs. Otherwise pattern will go same way!! What is it that Sata is doing different in the provinces that made him lose? Banda is further supported by GRZ machinery and resources!! Come 30th October, You will prove me right!!! Statistics are more powerful than what you think!!!!

  132. I just Love you man for you and the family lets do it for plot 1;

  135. Pls Mr Mphuno stop cheating yourself that the next presido (Sata) will dissolve parliament . Zambia will have the next election in 2011 as per our constitution. If you are scared of going to your farm, find a tall tree & hung yourself. Ifwe nipabwatofye, no other way period. l

  137. Livingstone (#133), here’s to you

    ??? ? ? ??? ?? ?
    ??????????? ???
    ???????? ?????????
    ?????????? ???????
    ????????????????
    ???????????????

  138. Yoz agency is in eastern province conducting a survey on battle of the 4 presdts the tension is high with main conteder sata and banda topping the chart.

  140. Nyama Soya is just scared of King Cobra…those are the last kicks of a dying horse…”kuyabebele remember 1991 song chilafi fye mwakwata it was sung to you and KK when we wanted change and we are doing just the same …kuyabebele!

  143. Rupiah banda my foot.he sounds so emotional in his campaigns,reminding me of Mccain lol.GO! ZEDIANS,we all no hez not presidential material.MMD has plyed the ball enough,we need a new game kuyafye mukwai!

  145. Ba Banda, you are the one whose dealings, actions and behavior are questionable. Since when did you become consultant for the Donor community for you to be telling us that. you are just a desparate old man who is feel the sweetness of government position of free things. its time for you to leave so you can pave way for development. Ba Banda you muxt be ashamed at saying that coz lm sure that the donor community is watching confused at the way you have been wasting money, instead if people make a mistake of making you president they will be scared to help Zambia coz they be doubting if that help will reach the ordinary Zambians, so stop pet politics. you do not realize that Zambians

  146. Zambians are very mature to be told that. You donor mind set will cost our development. please get of the way of people that mean real business to improve the Zambia lives. you are good for going back to farm and do work their and please attend to the special needs of your young lovely wife you need you so much.

  148. Ba RB naimwe, pls be objective!? The muzungu’s can’t stop funding us just because your wrinkled self is booted out! Stop cheating us, they will only squeeze financing if Cycle Mata (God forbid he becomes nxt president), acts like Mugabe and co.

  151. Hichilema’s promises;
    “He said once UPND formed government, people would be given free fertiliser for three years to ensure increased food production in the country”.

    “Hichilema said he would improve the chiefs’ palaces and ensure that they had better infrastructure and clean water”.

    “Hichilema added that once in power, he would improve the medical sector and build clinics and hospitals in all parts of the country”.

    THESE ARE BOGUS AND EMPTY PROMISES FOR AS LONG AS HE DOESN’T SAY HOW HE IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT!

    These chaps will say anything to win an election. Shame!

  152. “Mr Banda also said if Zambians voted for the opposition in the October 30 presidential election, the country risked losing donor support”.
    THIS IS THE MENTALITY THAT HAS PERMEATED OUR CITIZENRY; THE DEPENDANCE SYNDROME. WHEN ARE GOING TO HAVE LEADERS WHO WILL WORK TOWARDS WEANING THE COUNTRY FROM THIS SCOURGE? THERE IS NO PRIDE IN BEGGING BUT SHAME!

  153. donor support.

    this guy is shallo and backward.if i had a chance to vote.i cant vote him.

    he is out of touch. donors are dead. america has its own issues and he thinks they continue giving him money.

    shallo. he dozent folo international news. he knoz nothing about the BANK BAILOUTS IN BRITAIN AND US. he is a looser.

    ubwatoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

  154. Mr. Bigga Head too soft to rule Zed. Him a go sell out de nation fi peanuts! De people dem need a heartical don like Sata, seen? No bullets can stop us now, we deh pon de Front and we won’t bow…this boat can neither be bought nor sold!

  155. I am glad we can all see the ignorance of RB, he is a nightmare. Sata or H.H should be the way forward. We should be able to demonstrate to the politicians that voters are in control even if they try to rig the election, things will still fail. We did it when Chiluba sold us houses, appointed district administrators in hope of getting a third term, he failed. RB is now reducing fertilizer aimed at bribing people in the farming sector, RB, we can not be bought for one farming season. RB to go back to Kabanana, he is not even an elected MP. Viva Zambia.

  156. RB and MMD should try to live above cheap politics. Any donor aid is not intended for a particular polical party but the Zambian nation as a whole. ”WHO IS CHEATING WHO?’.

  157. GIMMICRY! MWANAWASA COULD NOT CONDONE THIS. WE HAVE LEFT MMMD COZ CHA OPENER EVERYBODY IS BUSY FINISHING BUILDING HOUSES READY TO SHIFT AFTER 30 OCTOBER. DONT CHHEAT US THAT U CAN WIN. THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL.
    WE ARE IN THE BOAT. IT IS TOO MUCH OUR HEARTS ARE ACHING AND RB YOU WILL ANSWER QUESTIONS SOME OF US WE LOVED MMMD AND SACRIFICED A LOT SHAME. THE BOAT IS SWEETER AND COOLER! CHI RB….WEEEEEEEEEEELU!

  158. so zambians are that ignorant to believe this? if we had 500billion kwacha you would not make such a statement,we would all be able to read between the lines.

  160. Tell me Nyama Soya, What is K500 Billion in Zambia? this will happen if MMD does not want to cooperate with the new Govt. At the end of the day if good policies are not shot down then there will be no need to disovle Parly. Unless otherwise….. Vote wisely ……..

  161. RB stand for Rubbish! or is a Rabit. Zambians how can you put the rubbish into state house. Just tink of it….iweee……

  162. RB is now very desperate. Stopping feeding lies to villagers. Just tell the people what you will do for them rather than saying what the donors will do.

  163. Ba Mudala ba RB, PLEASE spare us your pessimistic nightamres. The only person the global community will be laughing at is you, if you lose. What kind of a leader would publicly paint a worst case scenario to people? I remember similar words proceeding from the mouths of some former leaders. Actually, they may laugh louder if we vote for UNIP 2, the Return of the Mummies, what with all the trails of gunpowder trailing them! Soon it will be KABOOM!!!!

  164. Pipo, Pipo politics is about dirty moves. RB is doing just like that. Sata has been in the system for years now, but he is always beaten. He will not win even this time.

  166. Breaking News!!!!!SATAMANIA HAS JUST HEAT KABWE BY STORM WHILE HH IS STRUGGLING WITH THE PEOPLE TO ATTEND HIS RALLY.ITS SO SUPRISING HOW THE KING COBRA HAS GAINED SO MUCH HERE IN KABWE.PEOPLE WANT CHANGE,THEY WHERE JUST FLOCKING TO THE GROUNDS HAS IF MANNER HAS JUST DROPPED.IM WORRIED FOR THE RB AND HH CREW,WATCH OUT.PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  167. Ubwato ubwato ubwato ubwato ubwato ubwatoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ubwatoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ubwatoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  169. A DONOR TIED TO THE PARTY THAN A STATE CAN NOT BE TRUSTED.
    I RESPECT AUTHORITIES, THE STATEMENT FORM RB IS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED.

  170. WE KNEW ALL THIS HENCE…..NOW CONFUSION IN THE PARTY MWANAWASA LEFT INTACT…..I NOW GIVE HIM THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE WORLD AWARD. RB IS A REAL LET DOWN……HE IS SELFISH AND CAN NOT BE TRUSTED TO PROTECT THE PARTY S INTEREST…HE IS TRULY UNIP FOR SURE…SUDDENLY UNIP IS BACK WITH LOTS OF MONEY…FROM WHOM… RB!SHAME! Viva Satamania..Viva Satamania..Viva Satamania..Viva Satamania

  173. “…voting for the opposition will cost Zambia K500 billion as the new president from this wing would automatically dissolve Parliament.” This is a very useless point to stand on RBB. If your MMD members of Parmliament behave when an a current Opposition candidate takes the sit at Plot 1, there will be no need to dissolve Paliament. In fact, as soon as a new President comes into power the usual political prostitues will seek to align themselves to him.
    Zambians vote for ecHi-ecHi as Zambian President to bring in uncorrupted new leadership.

  175. RB boyi, don’t think using ur heart. Use ur brain. The heart is for pumping blood in ur round circulatory system including ur pot belly. Did donors withdraw support when MMD chacked out ur UNIP? Think man. Chama Chakomboka was far much better than u. MHSRIP

  176. It is panic now in the MMD! They are certainly not exhibiting confidence that they will win.I think their hour is gone, thank God.

  177. stop cheating pipo about kabwe and pf. if anything sata is already a loser and a mad cobra who will never rule zambia. can someone tells us the truth, which ground was packed with pf

  178. stop cheating pipo about kabwe and pf. if anything sata is already a loser and a mad cobra who will never rule zambia. can someone tells us the truth, which ground was packed with pf

  179. More donations when Sata is voted in power as he is the only one who can led the country and fix it. Remember when he was lusaka province district governor !

  180. #s 177 and 178, john/anonymous. Just read The Post newspaper. Mongu has also been gripped with Satamania. Mongu is the origin of ichibwato-ciKuomboka. Westerners have identified themselves with the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK. So Kabwe is just natural.

  182. This satamania thing by SATA’s current MOUTHPIECE the POST will not work. Just wait and see what will happen on October 30, 2008.

    Countdown: 11 days and we are counting.
    ecHi-echi tipped to win by a landslide victory. Wina azanena YES pakatipa No.

  183. #178/182 Just refer to Friday’s Kapiri mammoth Rally unless you people rig. I am not even talking about Chisamba and Kabwe on Saturday. Satamania has never gone crazy like this before. Not even image builders will help… Leave the Post alone dont panic…nipa bwato chabe…Pa Bwatooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  184. Barubish!Sata is the Man,thus vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv.Bawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwtttttttttttttttttttttooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  185. RB should know that we are not kids to tell such lies to. He thinks the voters think the same as those poor litle children he parades when addressing rallies.
    If ECZ does the job well then RB will surely cry.
    Pabwatooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  187. kwena ba mr vice president, if the donors want to leave becoz of our democratic decision they can go. besides donors dont come to zambia to help, they also benefit. investors come for business. as long as the resources we have wont run away from us after kicking you (MMD) from power well and good. Zambia is for Zambians we cant vote for you just to keep donors. no forget that.!!!!!!!!!!! i think donors will be more happy to see you out after spending part of their money to give lukuku and all those endorsement colleages.
    ba Sata we are waiting……….three years if you messup you gone.!!!!!!!!!!!!! you listening i hope. watch out.
    you politicians must be our employees not employers.

  189. Watch the space, HH is gaining grounds. ZNBC, RB’s mouth piece and the POST Sata’s mouth piece knows that. That is why they don’t show us his rallies. Did you watch his rallies in CB and Central pronvince. LT show us the pictures of his rallies. Don’t be scared of him. I know you are a PF site.
