UPND and PF change mind on extra 600 000 ballot papers

The opposition United Party for National Development(UPND) and Patriotic Front (PF) have rescinded their earlier decision that the extra ballot papers be sent to various districts.

UPND president Hakainde Hichilema said his party has lost confidence in the manner Electoral Commission of Zambia(ECZ) is handling the ballot.

Speaking at press briefing in Lusaka today, Mr. Hichilema demanded that the extra ballot papers should be destroyed or burnt without any negotiations.

“we demand that the 600,000 ballot papers be destroyed or burnt forthwith without any further negotiations,” he said.

He charged that the conduct in which the ECZ has been handling the ballot papers is not only disappointing but also provocative and annoying.

He said the recent alleged attempts by the driver at the airport to steal ballot papers are a clear and damning indictment on the part of the ECZ as an institution.

Mr. Hakainde said his party is prepared to defend its victory saying no amount of threat will make him resign or surrender.

He added that UPND is putting up measures to ensure that the political machinations by the ruling party are stopped.

And the Patriotic Front (PF) has demanded that the extra six hundred thousand ballot papers be destroyed in the presence of all political stakeholders.

PF member of Central Committee, Samuel Mukupa said the interception of ballot papers in the Kalabo vehicle has cast doubts.

Mr. Mukupa told ZNBC news in Lusaka, that everything possible should be done to ensure free and fair elections.

He said also said the inclusion of 4 hundred thousand voters who were not reflected in the 2006 voters’ register raises suspicions.

Earlier, this week, the PF was part of the four political parties which had agreed that the extra ballot papers should be sent to districts but not polling stations.

Candidates from the four political parties contesting the October 30 presidential poll, agreed to the arrangement through their representatives during a meeting with ECZ officials in Lusaka.

The meeting was called by the Electoral Commission of Zambia to resolve the issue surrounding the extra ballot papers.

  2. Bring them to my house, I keep them and we shall count them after the voting has taken place. Please keep them instead of wasting our money like that. Who made the decision to print almost one fifth extra ballot papers? Please don’t tell me it is Mulongoti please mwebantu. That imbecile is destroying RB’s chances and must be castrated before he hands power to the most illiterate candidate of the four!!

  3. HH you are right mwana natufyochefye infact just bring them over to manda hill on 24 oct this friday in the evening so that we can make a big fire palya tulenwa mosi mu bwato. Remember people we are on the boat and its only 10 days to go before we reach plot one.

  5. Dont worry the will of God is with zambians.God can not be bribed by mmd.if you dont destroy them take them to any neighbouring countries for safe & less suspicion of ballots missing.Anything that goes up must always come down we are great & diginified zambians.He already knows the results God is great.

  6. It is indeed very sad, ECZ has sank so low that they are not ashamed of themselves.I can imagine what has happened in the past elections, so many things and we will never know. This issue of extra 600 000 ballots and the inclusion of non existence 400 000 volters is just atip of the ice beg.

    Look at the chiefs who have taken sides also, shame on you!Ni tushinga balemipela mu ma brown envelopes?

  9. Vote in peace my beloved brothers and sisters back home, show the continent how thins should be done. Myself, like many others, I’ve been studying and working hard here in a foreign land and now i feel that the time to return home to contribute my bit has come, but that will depend on how you’ll behave after the 30th. Be peaceful about it and god bless.

  10. those ballot papers should be destroyed. the manda hill bonfire is a good idea…….. but i fear that they may have already distributed some of them…… so we will need to count them before setting them ablaze………shame shame RB and ECZ

  11. How are they going to ensure that there’s no undisclosed number of ballots beyond the mentioned numbers? How are they going to ensure that it is truly ballots contained? Good people, don’t you think the MMD is using these as some form of proxy destruction, to make people focus only on these 6 chakuti chakuti ballots and yet they know how many others are being distributed. Who knows, maybe the others have even been dispatched using government machinery! Kaya!!!

  12. #What has been happening at both Ndoal and Livingstone Airports regarding entry of unknown consignments into the country?

  13. aah! at ma rubish!!! whats up in Zambia you people???? mwaona imwe ba MMD, Maurin told you that LPM wanted Magande! you ati democracy…you see now yakakana! kayamanje…I agree with #6.

  14. I warn the PF thugs going around making noise in compounds creating a make believe situation that their chief thug has won the election to be careful. I urge the more affluent people like Lubinda to educate these thugs to be cautious because the electoral mathematics does not favour Sata. There is no major shift that has occurred in Sata’s campaign strategy to warrant a different result from last elections. Except that the post now stand on their side against all ethical and legal circumstances. But when did the post ever manage to control peoples choice? Let the armed forces be ready to meet these thugs head on the 31st. This is a timely advice for the sake of peace.

  15. #21, great posting and good stuff there. Given Lubinda’s calibre has seriously been compromised and impacted by his joining the PF – althoug he had little choice after Saki was a clear loser and no planner.
    Someone said, “Birds of the same plumage always congregate in the same proximity” and Given Lubinda has found himself in this category.
    For the Kaponyas and undereducated PF cadres, the above adage also reads,”Birds of the same feathers always flock together.”

    Victory is now certain. Vote for the UPND’s HH for stable political, economical and social atmospheres with unity in the country, Zambia, after the elections.

  16. The Ngoni were defeated in Bembaland before they imposed themselves on the people of Eastern Province. The historian Gann (p. 65) wrote: “One party commanded by Chief Mpezeni moved westward, but for the first time the Ngoni met a warrior people who matched their valour — the Bemba. Blood-thirsty raiders, they wielded muskets supplied by Muslim traders; the Ngoni were defeated and finally settled in what is now Southeastern Zambia.” The REFERENCE is as follows: L.H Gann, Central Africa: The former British states, Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, 1971.

  17. #22 your style of campaigning for HH by labelling Bembas as bad people is not good for you and HH. I agree that every tribe has its own bad eggs but two wrongs never make right. You can not correct a wrong using another wrong.

    Thats why removing RB and replacing him with Sata is a catastophy. Lets move with time…Viva Lubinda, Viva HH, Viva Chisanga, Viva Saki…why ant the other guys contesting???

  18. #24. You are thinking alot. I like your school of thought. Its unfortunate that Lubinda, Saki, Chisanga are out. However, HH can do it for Zambia. Coming to the issue – Please it’s disgusting to see the parties agreing to such an opinion. There is no Vote for more than the people registered. VIVA HH

  19. #24, point taken and will be considered carefully. However, it would have help much if you pin-pointed the actual ‘not good for you and HH” part.
    On the Bamba-tribalism, it is only true. And the TRUTH hurts, but the Holy Scriptures record that ‘you shall know tht truth and the truth shall set you free.”
    Engines Block, look at these LT blogs and clearly find that all insults posted on here – LT – are written mostly in Bemba and posted by Bemba Speaking characters and not all Bemba people. What I want to see is that all well-meaning Bemba, like some have done, must condemn the use of Bemba for insults on LT. This will show that indeed Bembas dont like TRIBALISM.

  20. #24,25, I truly like your arguments on Lubinda, Saki, Chisanga. But Saki has committed political-death by being bitter on HH’s win of the UPND Presidency. I respect Chisanga and I know that HH will consider him (Chisanga) and Lubinda once elected into Plot 1.
    One other thing to note is that these PF shouters on here – LT – have no credible points to show muscle to their arguments. I am happy though that Saki has shown all those who doubted the UPND delegates that vote HH into being UPND President. We do not need flip-flops in life.
    On my Bemba friends and fellow countrymen, they must know that they are very important but they are not indespensible. Such is true of life in general.

  21. #22 i hav neva seen a tribalist lyk u.u hav so much hate against bembas,WHY?th way u cmpaign 4 upnd rili js puts off a normal tinkin person..

  22. wat a shame to see such things happening in our peace loving country Zambia,i agree from # 12 its better to get rid of them by burning them.Lets all put our hands together and pray to God for guidance.

  23. #21 i dont know which current affairs u follow,may be from neighbouring congo becoz surely if u update youself with the zambian one u would know that Sata has already won,unless the MMD rig otherwise ni PAAAAABBBWWWWAAATTTOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!.

  24. #28 wen upnd went to the convention,thy said only a tonga MUST be the party presido..tel wat tht means to u,if u rili are nt a tribalist..tht one statement echoes in every nationalist Zambian,and thtr the reason its almst imposible 4 ur hh to eva rule us.

  25. #28, I do agree some Bembas have a superiorist attitude and usaully like to call others tribalists to detract attention from their own separitist tendencies. Today they will Tongas tribalists, next time they will call Luvales just be cause they think they are better than others. BUT! its not all bembas please do not generalise. HH is a sobber and humble guy who would not discriminate.

    Ignore the insults, Zambians are just learning to vote…it will take time for some to let go of these tribal tendencies…they make me sick coz I have loved ones in severals tribes.

    Stick to the good, it will defeat the bad.

    For everyone, lets have fun in these elections, we will need each other.

  26. #32, light can not mix with darkness. HH is too good to mix with questionable characters. One or two or more characters are not invincible.
    As a Zambian who was educated in Zed for Grade 1 to the University of Zambia, I can not be easily cheated by Fred mmembe and his Sata’s current Mouthpiece. I read widely to establish the truth of the matter. Mmembe has always had an agenda to paint Tonga people as tribal while coercing his Bemba As a National Language Theme.
    Hey, no! I can not be duped since I am not gullible like undereducated Zambians of Sata’s calibre. I love Sata very much but I hate the Tribalism he has imbedded in Zambians. That is why I can never entrust or confide in Sata.

  27. Alot of PF cadres have no voters’ cards. HH will definately get more than SATA.

    People, avoid tribalism.

    Why cant ECZ give us a presidential debate? Am sure RB cant manage.

  28. #36.my brotha,im nt tokin of th post here,tht news n hu must be upnd presido was n radio at tht tym…please adres tht,and dnt run away frm it,the way ur fyting against tribalism by championing it,tho indirect is nt goin to wok,because pipo cn read btwn th lines,im telin it hurts to find pipo hu ar tribal coz pipo hav mixd tribe parents,nw imgine ur one of those,where do u stand n a tribal situation..lets do away wth ths vice.

  29. Vuka Sizwe, Vuka Zambia. The is no rigging of election this year. We are just in for a big suprise people of Zambia. Please do allow VJ and his brothers to rig the election. Those papers should be destroyed. But that do not mean that we will not be VIGILANT. Good people it’s less than 11 days from the election. PF do not be overconfident. You will be crying when you see the hand going forward. VIVA HH

  30. #34, I have never generalised that ALL BEMBA are Tribal. I have always and ever said that Sata is the biggest TRIBALIST Zambia has ever had and probably will ever have. Unfortunately, a few of his tribes men like Mmembe at the POST have taken Sata’s teachings and agenda and are willing to myopically leave out Sata’s terrible part in life just because Sat is Bamba. As if that were not enough, most Bemba-Tribalists insult us Tongas and LT without any credible points. I have raised issues that point Sata’s non-Presidential materialness with qoutes from all sorts of sources to convince ill-learned and ill-informed characters that records are available for all to see. Sadly they rush to insults.

  31. #34. Anyhow, I like your contribution regarding my postings and take care.
    Have fun “Engines Block ” and you all – LT bloggers.

  32. sorry, no HH no RB, just SATA. First president was David (biblical), next Jacob, then Levy both biblical so next is Michael! Ever heard of bwezani or hakainde in the bible? No way! Only tonga bible name is Habakuk! PA BWATO! MWA MUKOLO!

  33. #37, Even Sata can not debate. He will inmidate you so that you can be afraid. RB is worse. A debate is needed. No one can debate or talk issues but HH.

  34. #38, exactly, lets do away with “this vice” in your words. How then shall we do away with this vice? Is it by keeping quiet when we notice it? Is it by exposing the vice and those who advance it? thnk on these things and be objective.
    When I was young, I remember getting rebuked by my mother or any elderly person is I insulted someone. Now, were my parents wrong in rebuking when I insulted? Would it have helped me, if my parents and othe elders around when I insulted kept quiet? Would it have been morally right for elderly people to listen to me insult and then fail to advise me on not insltuing others but embracing all humankind? Think, be objective and shun being emotional.

  35. #38, can you please quote the RADIO STATION, with the exact words that it used, that aired such news about the UPND elections for its President. I will then respond to your a s s e r t i o n s carefully with a s t r o n g mind-set.

  36. #47 here is the answer about HH’s ascendency to UPND presidency-those that sung that only a Tonga should be presido made the biggest political mistake that one can ever make. That statement stinks just like all the bad things in Sata or RB’s history. I like HH’s credentials compaired to others but that statement was a killer Just like the sermos from Obama’s pastor are still haunting him. I hear some of those who made it have even left UPND.

    HH would have worn easily but those sentiments though made in the bliss of the moment should be condemed and strongly so. So, all three front runners have corpses in their wadrobes….who is the lesser Evil? thats the question here!

  37. #38,47. Please do not let me think that you are a brainwashed caharcter by Sata’s current Mouthpiece the POST. You see to be failing to back up your question. Do you need my help on it (the backing up of evidence to your querry)? Have you, Tufwee Chabee, fallen into a quagmire where you can not redeem yourself and need external help on this subject?
    You know, I have had a lot of debates with more organised bloggers like “Mwine Filimu” who has since left LT or changed his identity. The have come and gone leaving me intact because I base my arguments with sound quotes and data. Arguments are not for the emotional and TIMID, but for those who are objective, articulate and well-prepared.

  38. Maestro please man,u r championing a good cause against tribalism whilst seemingly promoting it. come on man,facts and records r there of pipo who advocated and endorced tongaizm in upnd. Mazoka’s widow and the sejani’s of this world r on record 2b togaist!

  39. #51 thank you very much 4 being truthful and objective…true al of them hav skeletons n their wadropes,.thts the bigest blunda tht upnd did,and thy must try by al means to show tht they wil o cn acomodate otha pipo of ths diverse nation,wen thy do tht,maybe thy cn rule,bt nt the way ‘maestro hehe’ tries to do it.

  40. #51,Engine Bbloko. I like your position, but the simple question for you is: what is your source of the data you are portraying? Quote for me, please, where you got this “UPND presidency-those that sung that only a Tonga should be presido”.
    I am itching to know where it came from? If it is the POST, then I am afraid you might be brainwashed. Chaps of all colours has ever sought to discredit the UPND from late Mazoka’s time to now HH’s one by painting it as Tribal. They have extended their evil vice by saying as long as you are Tonga then you are tribal. This is the nonsense that Sata, the Chiluba’s MMD and mmembe’s POST have brainwashed most of you LT bloggers with.

  41. #52,u hav failed to ansa my simpe qeustion,bt u wnt to cum ot lyk ur a champ and despise my postings..b objectiv mwana,ur the one hu is emotimal,fyting against smthn tht u yourself is busy doin.

  42. Interestingly, late Mazoka only received praises when he died. What a shame to showing fli-floping. We dont want such for HH
    #s 51,53 and 54 are you all 3 telling me that you can not back up your claims but you rely on Sata’s current mouthpiece The POST for all your news. Come on guys, I expect all Zambians to do better especially those who have travelled to foreign lands.
    Please, provide me with proof about that statement you a clinging on to like a child who have been given a packet of sweets?
    On the otherhand, I am ready to source all documents linking Sata to Bemba-Tribalism. When you bring proof on your claims about the might UPND, we can then post Sata’s Tribalistic tendencies.

  43. Time to sleep now! Later and please organise me some nice quotes instead of showing us ignorance on what your are claiming #s 51,53 and 54.

    Have a good and blessed day though.

  44. I wonder how ECZ has handled the number of ballot papers in the past. We’ve had four presidential elections since the re-indtroduction of plural politics. As far as I can recall, we have never had a case of extra ballot papers.

    A few questions beg to be answered:

    -Was this done in the past without our knowledge?
    -Is there a genuine reason for printing extra ballot papers?
    -How did they determine the number of extra ballot papers to be printed?
    -Were the party representatives in Durban aware of the plan to print extra ballot papers?
    -Why did PF and UPND agree to have the ballot papers sent to the districts in the first place?

  45. Maestro u r well spoken bt ill informed abt events back home. its common knowledge that there’s no smoke wtout fire. its a fact that HH is a credible zambian Obama, bt tongaism proclaimations wil leave 2 haunt him 4 a looong tym! Abt the data source u dearly argue 4, am sure u can do a thorough research 2 find unlike engaging straight debates

  46. Let me slep,maestro hehe cn js infect me wth hs tribalism and luck of reasoning…gudnyt al peace lovin zedians here..remember.ONE ZAMBIA,ONE NATION..

  47. Have you seen on the post our new president kissing the ring of the Bishop of Mongu. Sata is very Catholic. Pabwatooooooo

  48. Maestro

    I am an HH supporter and I suggest that from this day onward you stop campaigning for HH because you seem to be hurting his cause rather than promoting it with your blatant tribalism.

    HH is not the only candidate in this election. HH is a good man and is not a tribalist but his tribalist counter parts (like yourself) make him seem tribal the same way Obama’s racist pastors make him seem racist. For the sake of HH and Zambia, I would suggest that from this day onward, you stop campaigning for HH because you seem to be doing more harm than good.

  49. [cont]

    Two wrongs do not make it right. Zambia deserves better and that better is HH but if you are campaigning for him the way you are doing it on this blog, Zambia will get worst.

    I suggest you reflect on what I have said in these two postings.

  50. ITS I D I O T S LIKE MAESTRO THAT MAKE ME SUPPORT SATA BECAUSE THEY LACK ANY FORM OF CREDIBAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE KIND OF POLITICS THAT WORK IN AFRICA..IF YOU THINK EDUCATION IS A QUALITY ONE NEEDS TO WIN AN ELECTION THEN EXPERIENCE SHOULD TEACH YOU OTHERWISE…JACOB ZUMA PROFILE ON WIKIPEDIA SHOWS THAT THE MAN JUST REACHED GRADE 5 BUT HE IS BY FAR THE MOST LOVED PPOLITICIAN IN SA AND IS POISED TO WIN SA PRESIDENCY..JOHN MCAIN IS JUST A SOLDIER BUT THE REPUBLICANS SAW IT FIT TO NOMINATE HIM….GEORGE W BUSH PRESIDENT OF USA IS A TEACHER OF HISTORY WHO FAILED TO ENTER LAW SCHOOL…BARACK OBAMA IS A LAWYER AND HAS MASTERS IN POLITICAL SCIENCE…WHATS ECONOMICAL ABOUT POLITICAL SCIENCE??? and i can go on and on EVEN MANDELA WAS A LAWYER WHO NEVER PRACTISED BUT STILL MADE A GREAT LEADER…SO STOP THE NONSENSE ABOUT HH ECONOMIC CRIDENTIALS BASED ON HIS EDUCATION…IT DONT WORK IN THE REAL WORLD..

  51. I CAN ONLY VOTE HH IF AND ONLY IF 1) he can tell us apart from just enriching himself what community based initiatives he has his name to 2) he can accept that who was voted on the basis of his tribe and nothing else 3) he can stand for mp in lusaka central and show us what he can do….we cannot vote based on mere words…we need to see your work publicly… 4) if he can apologise to saki sichinga and the other people who left upnd for undeserved appointment.. 5) if he can tell us his role in free masons clearly 6) if he can tell us if his a Christian and which church he goes to 7) if he can show us which ward he has adopted at any hospital ………. all in all HH has nothing it takes to be president….who has ever ascended from private to the highest public office…if criticles zra commisioner stood for presidency i would vote him not HH….totaly nothing to say about himself or WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR THE PEOPLE…all we hear is my salary for charity….p a t h e t i c politician…

  53. #21, what of those angels who harrased our journalists? will u still call them darlings or its only tilted toward the PF who you always call thugs? we are watching and the AXE is already sharpened to chop the irrelevant tree as its just wasting our fertile ground since it cannot produce any good fruit at all.

  54. #18, iam of the same thought also my dear. coz these guys may be using a totally different strategy than the 600pin ballot papers discolsed. what of the ballot papers which were supposed to be taken to western province, are they part of the xtra or they are in a different category also?
    I want the so called PRAGMATIST to comment using simple logic on the extra printing of ballot papers knowing well that the electorate numbers have reduced since 2006.

  55. Now i understand why the post is supporting sata. There is a SATA,POST AND ZAMBIAN AIRWAYS SAGA. The post have become shallow indeed. I also understand the reason why magande was favoured by the post, not because he was a better candidates (post hates tongas), but because of his stance on the zambian airways where the post are shareholders. Gentlemen, there is a serious link between the post, zambian airways and sata who has now promised to bail out zambian airways on conditions that they cover him. Shameful

  56. #52, we are proud of all your arguments because they represent an anlytical, objective and intelligent mind of a patriotic and peace loving Zambia with great love for the future of our country and not simply for selfish ambitions. God bless you. We are campaigning in Ndola. VIVA HH

  57. #67, just as much as not all students at UNZA came through colleges, others are straight from secondary school. should we chase them to start from certificate level. It’s time we started appreaciating outstanding people in our society including young and intelligent children than always comparing them to us if we are to advance as a nation. Go young HH. Zambia forward.

  58. # 67. THAT IS RUBBISH. ITS NOT ABOUT THE CHURCH SOME ONE GOES TO. CAN YOU TELL ME WHO THE REAL CHRISTIAN IS AMONGST THE 4 CANDIDATE? MAY BE MIYANDA. THE REST ARE ALL PAGANS, HENCE LETS NOT BASE CHRISTIANITY AS THE YARDSTICK. WHAT HAS ZRA MWANSA DONE? THE ONLY REASON YOU CAN VOTE FOR HIM IS BECAUSE HE’S YO TRIBESMATE THATS ALL. VIVA HH

  59. #23 your references are completely wrong-ni malabihsi cabe. This character was not there when Bembas and Ngonis fought the firecest battle that saw Bembas give Ngonis their women and Ngonis later, in appreciation of the good-looking Bemba wome, cattle. Ngonis never take a wife or woman without parting with something for her; a true reflection of Ngonis attitude towards ‘handouts’. Even now, Ngonis do not rely on handouts like Bemba men-natola fye. If you lack proper details, please ask right people, not bakaponya banu.

  60. Your demands are baseless and show how tribal you are. HH never chased any of those men you are talking about, why should he sink that low, can you remove the log out of your eye b’4 you try to remove a perk from you friend’s please. Tell your Satana to apologies to the 26 MPs who are busy de-campaigning him and see if he can do that. That is utter rubbish.

  61. #78 is meant for #67, if you feel you cannot vote for progressive people for our mother Zambia, then stop putting your rubbish up here

  62. when the ballots are destroyed there now will be no evidence of rigging because if they were kept we would see how many are missing now they will burn fake ones then use the originals which we will think have been burnt

  63. thats good lets destroy extras. pabwatoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.mwamu koloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  64. # 73 Mo tain, you real need to have strong analytical skill for you to understand me. just to remind you, for many years the post has been vigorously and vehemently attacked sata for being a crook and a thief. today the post is married to sata. the reason is that the paper has financial problems. know that the post has 30% shares, NMC has 12.5% and JCN Holdings has 57.5% in zambian airways. the chairman for NMC is also chairman for ZA, and he sits on the board of the post. ZA has serious financial problems and magande had indicated that he was going to bailout the doomed airline, hence he was favaoured by the post. now there is a deal between the post and and sata that if he wins, he will

  65. it weeired how you can decide to print more even when you know well that the turnout will definately be less than 100%. guys lets be transparent. were on earth have you seen all voters participate in voting. ECZ dont still our rights, we are voting for our kids. WE WONT ALLOW YOU TO ROB SATA AGAIN

  66. cont from 84…..do what magande intened to do. the post is trying to cover sata even if he has no substance to try and sway the voters minds. if he wins he will bailout ZA using tax payers money and the post will not have financial problems. man or woman, open you thick head and ask yourself why the post has become a spokesperson and campaighn manager for sata

  71. I support the idea of burning the extra ballot papers, becuase the actual number of voter have reduced as other have died, , incapacitated due to illness or run mad etc.

    WE DO NOT WANT TO TAKE CHANCES, IYO INALUKA KWASILA, (BALILOBA ILYAUMA.)

  72. Zambia’s 1st President was named ‘DAVID’, The 2nd was ‘Jacob’, the 3rd wsa ‘LEVY’.

  75. 2006 ECZ REGISTERD VOTERS:3,926,214…TOTAL VOTES CAST:2,786,125….THERE IS NO NEED FOR EXTRA BALLOT PAPERS FOR GOODNESS SAKE. NO ONE CAN ACCEPT THE 600,000 EXTRA PAPERS…THE PROBLEM IS THAT ECZ CASTS THESE FIGURES ON THE WEB AND FILES AND FORGETS. ZAMBIANS ARE NOW SHARP. WE RE IN THE BOAT.

  76. this is what should have been done earlier on!!you chaps have woken up from slumber now!!ECZ wasted alot of money for nothing!!

  77. Is it true that 4 000 000 voters have been included to the 2006 voter register without registration process, according to mukupa of PF.any details?

  78. somebody must stand by meastro as the result start to pour in and st micheal is crowned.he will certainly have aheart attack.hh is a non entity

  79. There will be no polls in 2011 – Sata
    By JAMES MUYANWA

    PATRIOTIC Front (PF) leader, Michael Sata, has said there will be no presidential elections in 2011 because whoever will be elected president in this month-end’s election is supposed to rule for five years.

    And Mr Sata has pledged to restore dignity to Kabwe town by reviving all closed and ailing industries in the once mining district, if elected president.

    Speaking at a public rally in Kabwe at the weekend, Mr Sata said that whoever would emerge winner in the October 30 election was expected to reign for five years and therefore there would only be parliamentary and local government elections in 2011.

    Mr Sata said tha

  80. # 84 you must be a very confused character you pose like you have more analytical skills when you are not .Judging from the way you have answered to a very straight and simple question asked by # 73 you really need to do some serious changes to your understanding of economics.damn you

  81. ECZed…. this body should be dissolved, delinked froom Govt because they can’t think straight. they are not independent at all and depend on govt for their survival. i mean you can’t bite the finger that feeds you right…so what we need is a truely independednt body not funded by RB but by donor funds. Am sure alt of donors out there are looking for projects to fund so why don’t we try them otherwise rigging will never end

  82. U turn by opposition is very dissapointing,they sent representatives in South Africa who endorsed on the quality ad quantity,It is shameful that today they stand and cry foul.

    We didnt send them there to shop,it appears thats what they went to do,why see the problem here and not RSA.

    I dont like the the way taxpayers money is being misused,Opposition guyz have let us down,we are loosing huge sums printing ballot books which will later be destroyed.This is total carelessness.

  83. hh honestly you can never win,you dont have what it takes to be President,dont hide your failure in ballot boxes.relax

  84. Maestro,and the rest ye who hate anything thats not tonga, remember “hotel ruanda”we shall run you out of town! Thou shall see the boat discending and thy children shall sing “ubwato bwaisa”meaning the boat has come!

  85. Careless words by Choma1 can fuel further tention in this country,Are you God to decide HH will never rule Zambia,such calessness should not be entertained by well meaning Zambians.

    Choma1,i believe he is over 35,why not try your chances than prophesy of others who atleast have tried.The Bible says dont judge so that you will not be jdged.

    I urge Choma to restrict himself to the topic at hand that delve in dangerous acts of false prophecy that HH will never rule”. could he be another false prophet.

  86. Absolute crap coming from Sata and HH! First you agree to the extra ballots then you change at the last minute?! Is this the kind of leadership we expect when you enter plot 1?

  87. Please people can you critically analyse issues. We have a dictator in the making and you can’t see this? Go back to history and you will find other names like him. Hitler was also very popular but he led the World to WWII. This one will lead Zambia to a civil war twapapata ba PF put your country and your children first.

  88. WHY IS HH AND SATA WORRIED ABOUT BALLOT BOXES? THIS HAS SHIFTED THEIR CAMPAIN FROM ISSUES TO RIGGING PLIZ BE DESCIPLINED LIKE HIS EXCELLENCE GEN. MIYANDA WHO IS BUSY WITH HIS OWN CONCEPTS RB, HH & SATA HAVE PARVED WAY FOR MIYANDA AUTOMATICALY THATS HOW POLITICS ARE GO MIYANDA GO YOU ARE THE ONLY MAN WITH INTEGRITY.

  89. help me imwe, let ma submissions show. whoz paying for the extra ballot papers? who made the discision to print extra papers? ba pompwe ba ya sana. kno this afta 30 oct ubupuba we wont tolarete. total misuse of resourse. now we shud burn the xtra ballots,u c thats as gud as flashing moni down the toilet. TWAFWENI. The boat the boat the boat theboat the boat the boat the boat the baot the boat the boat the boat the boat the boat the boat the boat the boat the boat the boat the boat the boatttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt……..

  90. It is supprising that even in a Democratic country Choma 1 can expose such ignorance, Choma1 this is a blog you are linked to people beyond Zambia.

    Right now Zambia is boasting of being democratic model in Africa.This one party mentality by Choma1 is worrying.I propose that Democracy be enshrined in the secondary Curriculum to allow Choma1 understand why we have 4 presidential candidates.

  91. #116 munyono its not a prophency,it my personal humble opinion anyway which i can defend,I withdraw my comment,I never meant to offend you my brother

  92. #96 All those names are from bible but the bible also has names like Judas Goliath and many more but all those names are foreign names with little identity Names like Rupiah Hakainde are are local names and more over provide indentity

  93. WHY IS HH AND SATA WORRIED ABOUT BALLOT BOXES? THIS HAS SHIFTED THEIR CAMPAIN FROM ISSUES TO TALKING ABOUT RIGGING, PLIZ BE DESCIPLINED LIKE HIS EXCELLENCE GEN. MIYANDA WHO IS BUSY WITH HIS OWN CONCEPTS RB, HH & SATA HAVE PARVED WAY FOR MIYANDA AUTOMATICALY THATS HOW POLITICS ARE GO MIYANDA GO YOU ARE THE ONLY MAN WITH INTEGRITY.

  94. #119 My brother its like its a shear waste of time to try and coax these guys to reason amicably, there is nothing they are writing other than putting a million zeros in front of their boat thing, so the best is just to condemn them up to the bitter end. Others are even going to the extent of reminding others about “hotel ruanda”, Chi #114. What a crap?

  95. # 108 Whats wrong with you young man?It’s people like you allow chaps like “JOHN ZAZA” and DANNY KALALE” misbehave.

  96. this episode shows lack of seriousness on the part of the PF and UPND. they agreed with the ECZ that the extra ballot papers were ok. now they say they should be destroyed..?? the representatives of the same party witnessed the printing of the ballot papers in Durban and gave reports to the ECZ that the process was ok. now they should come and say the process was not okay?? we need to be serious…

  97. munyono The only prohency on the blog came from #114 wafwa na panga ana i quote ” Thou shall see the boat discending and thy children shall sing “ubwato bwaisa”meaning the boat has come!

  98. PF cadres, at Longacres were intimidating clients at LA fast foods yesterday evening.Telling them PF will chase Indians and turn the restaurant into a Bar.What thinking is that, I appears Sata has not told his suppoters his change of heart over his 2006 Anti Indian,Anti Chinese stance.

    It appears all PF supporter only think of drinking at the expense of development.I thought More money is as a result of a strong private sector participation.

    These Kaponyaz,if these are PF’s intentions of creating more bars than Jobs then kiss my vote goodby.

  99. #119.TONGA BULL YOU ARE GENIOUS I AGREE WITH YOU SATA IS A DICTATOR DONT WORRY YOU ARE NOT THE ONLYONE WHO HAS SEEN THIS DANGER WE ARE MANY LETS JOIN HANDS AND PROTECT OUR COUNTRY MAN. IT DOESNT MATTER WHO COMES IN AS LONG AS ITS NOT SATA–NA I WILL MIYANDA COULD RESCUE US FROM THIS SELFISH LEADERS.

  100. #84 and 86 Mbo You are right about the post. They seem to be in a severe financial distress and would bow to anything that promises them light. They have thrown their professionalism away just for their own selfish benefits. Every day the headlines are about positivity of Sata or condemning RB everyday? Yesterday they even put a picture of a man on a bicycle with sata’s posters in Mansa. This is how once credible zambian companies wash away.

  101. Choma1 you are a real gentleman, there are very few pipo who would admit a wrong and apologise.

    No hard feelings my bro, am really humbled by your sense of brotherliness.

  102. Zambians will have no one but themselves to blame if they allow Sata to rule. This guy is a dictator in the making and the stuff he says about ruling for 5 years (even though it is not in the constitution) just shows how power hungry this man is that he will even attempt to go above the constitution.

    Lets move Zambia forward. Vote HH.

  103. With the state of our fire fighting equipment it is imperative that we have print extra ballot papers in case a anything like fire

  104. #109,Free-Market-Capitalist,

    I’m wondering why it has taken you so long to agree to the fact that Mmembe and his post are not credible. Going by your past and present and possibly future contributions, i believe you saw a long time ago that Mmembe and Sata are not credible.

  105. PF & UPND are feeling the heat. Why do have to be cry babies? Go and capaign but remember that we will only have one winner.GO GO RB.

  106. “Maestro Hhehhehhehhe” my advice to you is that you should stop coming out like you are very educated than other blogs on LT for God sake Bsc you have probaly from Unza extention studies for that matter may be school of Education you know what I mean. Mr I know it all the Mouth piece of HH

  107. IF YOU SEE A BLACK MAN RUNNING…..
    he’s being chased by the police!

    IF YOU SEE A WHITE MAN RUNNING…….he’s just exercising!

    IF YOU SEE AN INDIAN MAN RUNNING…… he’s got a sale in his shop, so he’s in a hurry to open the store!

    IF YOU SEE A COLOURED RUNNING…….. The bottle store is about to close!

    And if you see a CHINESE running? SATA has won the Elections

  108. #136 Biggie Jim

    I have seen it through the stories that the post has been publishing ever since this election was announced.

    It has been positivity about Sata and just negativity about Rupiah Banda.

    The Post is not reliable any more.

  109. #68 SATA ti Win, why quizz HH over community projects,if he an NGO activist.The man said he is a Businessman, why torture yourself with such headaches.If you need help just say it, not hide under community nonsense.

    I think before you look at the stick in HH’s eyes, check the log in your first.What have you done for your family, how many dependant are you keeping.Dont earn yourself a bachelors degree in negative criticism.

    Why should HH stand in Lusaka Central as MP,dont you have Guy Scott are you admitting your MP is not working.

    Keep those quizz ? to ypourself.

  110. “Maestro Hhehhehhehhe” Mouth piece of HH, One question for you. The Post Newspaper was in favour of Magande to succeed Levy, what tribe is Magande? Is it true a tribal paper wanted to a tonga to be president? Now if the post is againest tongas then what percent of magande is tonga tell us Mr. I know it all.

  111. #139. Dr. Evil

    Ok, lets say ba Sata chases the Chinese investors. That will mean

    1. Investor confidence will go down
    2. Zambian companies which used to supply the mines will be bank-robbed.
    3. Who is going to take over the mines who will have the same access to credit like the one the Chinese had (You will be running back to the IMF again).
    4. Where is govt going to get revenue which will enable it to lower taxes and carry out development of the nation.

  112. JUSITCE MUMBA DEFENDS HER MEETINGS WITH RB. Sept. 17
    Electoral Commission of Zambia, ECZ, Chairperson, Florence Mumba, says her recent visits to the Office of the President were part of the Commission’s procedure in holding national elections.

    Justice Mumba has explained that she recently met Acting President, Rupiah Banda, on two occasions in line with the necessary procedure in an event of national elections.

    ………..REMEMBER THIS

    SHE WAS VERY DEFENSIVE ABOUT THE MEETINGS. NOW WE KNOW WHY!!!!!

  113. #140 Free-Market-Capitalist,

    My biggest problem at the moment is how to help people that cannot see or deliberately ignore the fact that there is open propaganda by the post to help Sata to plot one. You do not have to be intelligent or to know how to read between the lines to see the evil that Mmembe and Sata are propagating.But if people ignore the truth and choose the most wrong candidate in this race (Sata), then we can only watch the harvest of their sowing.

  114. #145
    The Kwacha is weakening now and no chinese has been chased. So why do you think its weakening, its about 4pin now.

  115. #147 Biggie Jim

    All you have to do is glance at this blog and you’ll see how PF supporters ignore the facts about Sata. All they do when faced with the facts is accuse Rupiah Banda of corruption, accuse HH of tribalism and shout “PABWATO”.

    Zambia is doomed if Sata wins.

    Sata has been in govt since Roy Welensky (colonial policeman), KK and Chiluba, what has he done???

  116. I personnally dont trust the Electral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) I shall put my trust in the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, who has power to allow birth as well as death. I am willing to go on total fast just to insure that those that rig be punished by death.

  117. Muna and maestro must be husband and wife(or both) its like nzelu zyabo they are the same they just argue without any strong basis.Eh eh you two simumvela

  118. God is Great, Allah is Great, Mulungu ni Mukulu, Zambi Munene, Lesa Mukulu.

    I personnally dont trust the Electral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) I shall put my trust in the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, who has power to allow birth as well as death. I am willing to go on total fast just to insure that those that rig be punished by death.

  119. #126 Muna, I agree with you but I am a person who believes that some of the PF supporters can still change. I know there are good people in PF who I think are just being misled. I know they want the best for this country. That is why I want them to understand our position Of course for the die hard ones other measures can make them change their minds.

    PF supporters the ball is in your court. Come with us to prosperity and peace or carry us to destruction.

    #131, thanks for the compliment.

  120. We need a live TV debate for HH,SATA,RB & the General.Let them show us what they are made of, is it intollerance?,short memory,luck of ideas,oppotunist,job seekers e.t.c.

    Come on ECZ help sponser this one.in the USA they do it,so we can do it too.

    To be intervewed by : Augustine Lungu & Frank Mutubila

  121. #150, Anonymous,

    Putting our trust in God is the only way to go. With God, you can’t go wrong. To put one’s faith in humans especially politicians can actually be very suicidal. The good news is that when you are a child of God, no politician can touch you, unless God allows it. In other words you are above the politicians.

  122. Ponyax wa lasa lets burn the extra 600, 000 papers on 24th October palya tu lenwa “KESTLE” MUBWATOOOOOOO!!
    Bggie Jim, you dont no what you are talkin about as you a beneficiary from MMD.I urge mmembe to continue with his work,come wat may tuli mu bwatoooooooooo!! its only next week TUKAMONA KO!!

  123. Selfish chaps! they manipulate the rules to suite their selfish interests! Even SATA is now making changes to the constitution because he thinks he can smell power! see quote from zamnet below.

    There will be no polls in 2011 – Sata

    PATRIOTIC Front (PF) leader, Michael Sata, has said there will be no presidential elections in 2011 because whoever will be elected president in this month-end’s election is supposed to rule for five years.

  124. #156 I support you, we need a debate on TV for these presidential candidates, Mine will still remain HH and hey with the extra ballot papers anh Ine siniziba ngati tizaona vamushe apa. Nway HH is the man.

  125. 159 FutureZed,

    We would have been surprised if Sata spoke otherwise, because he is a well known dictator. No respect for the PF and Zambian constitution. So when he says there will be no elections in 2011, that is what is expected of him.

  126. HH as long as he is a free mason he darkness and zed being a christian nation is in light and cannot mixed with darkness!

  127. When Sata loses on 30th oct,Definitely Fred Mmembe would also have lost too the battle.Why cant he just tell us what his agenda with Sata is? His hatrate for RB/HH has forced Fred to publicly campaing for Sata.I have stopped buying the Post as they only waits for Sata to cough and make Headlines tommorrow.Quite useless paper.

    I personally like Sata for his courage but his dictatorial tendenceis is what scares most of us.Its time for the young generation.USA has “Young” Obama, DRC “Young” Kabila,Tanzania “Young” Kikwete,Botswana.. Why can’t Zambia also entrust HH.Lets move with the rest of the world ladies & gents.Meanwhile Sata must be respected & allowed to rest.

  128. Voting for a killer like sata puts everything in question.If Paul Tembo was killed by sata s machination what makes you safe with your vote.

  129. # 148 Sugar Daddy, Cant you see that its the post weakening the kwacha? They are portraying a picture that Sata is winning, so the investors are taking away their money for safety and reducing their investment! Its that simple!

  130. #163 Anonymous,

    Fred Mmembe is a self-confessed atheist (does not believe in GOD) and has endorsed Sata, a devoted Roman Catholic Christian. How is it that darkness (Mmembe) and “light” (Sata) have blended so nicely that you can not tell the difference? Its either they are light or darkness since there is no middle ground.

  131. The extra ballot papers dont seem to have much explanation in my view.
    Since there is not additional registration of voters to the list done in 2006, we can only expect that the number would only reduce due to deaths, emigration, voter aparthy etc. That number can never go up; the best it would ever do is to remain the same, a scenario which is unlikely.
    If the ECZ feels that in handling ballot boxes some would be distroyed natural disasters such and accidents, then this should have been agreed with all stakeholders before hand, so that all should have concented.The suggestion to destroy them is OK as long as people agree on how they will handle natural loss due to accidents without backup

  132. #164 I AGREE WITH U ON THE SATA ISSUE, however i beg to differ on the idea of young leaders being better I like some of hh’s point of view but i think he needs to be in the political world a little longer because i fear that he may fall in the trap of selling your country for “aid” talk about kikwete, the west esp USA love the guy but ask tanzanians what they think…about what him today, n he came in with the similar ideals and popularity as hh.Good governance should be reflected in the attitudes of the people and after enuff research he is not as popular as he was.Even tho pipo on LT often refer to PF supporters and kaponya’s…its these pipo who count in the end the marketeers,

  133. If PF wants to close LA Fast Foods and turn it into a BAR as his supporters are alleging.

    Their Slogan should read:
    More Bars
    More Beers
    with Less working hours

  134. # 161, 162, 164,& 165 Chaps you have fear of the un known,remember how FTJ came on the scene,in 1991 with the sweet talk to you pipo.you were all smiles and the chap is in court now,you want to make the same mistake to put HH in plot one??? some who we dont no wat he is done this time around he will sell ZED and you will all BE EVITED TO ZIMBABWE,
    Guys lets give SATA chance to prove him self.
    PABWATOOOOOOOO!!! PF VI VA

  135. ** The country will not go anyway unless these pipo who many consider useless are made part of the process bcoz there are more of them and they are more likely to stay n help build the country as opposed to you ‘intellectuals’ who will run from Zambia at the first chance

  136. I agree with number 165. lets vote wisely those of us who can and will vote come oct 30th..too bad for our brothers and sisters who will not vote but just waste time on LT talking…

  137. #174, Valcher,

    Do not call people Chaps just because they have a different view from yours. You are portraying the typical Sata behaviour which we all know very well. I had no single smile when FTJ came to power in 1991. He was unable to deceive me just like i cannot be deceived by an-easy-to-read-mind like Sata’s. Have a blessed day in the boat.

  138. HH SATA RB R ALL HUNGRY FOR POWER, RB…well his recent actions are showing us the clearer picture, Sata-we can tell from his conviction that he has already won, HH- if he was truly for the interest of the people how come neither he or sata could not agree on coalition terms? they both wanted to be the presidential candidates n neither could back down,the fact that the guy has money does not excuse him from wanting power, money is not the only motivation, any well learned person should know this.. so who to vote for? RB the potential launderer(who may be using public fund for campaigning?) SATA- the potential anarchist n HH- the SEEMINGLY amateur who will use his salary to educate the poor

  139. GREED IS ALREADY SHOWING UP IN THE COBRAS SPEECH.HONESTLY ZAMBIANS HOW CAN A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE NOT KNOW THAT THE PRESIDENTIAL TENURE IS TIED TO THE LIFE OF PARLIAMENT.PURE KAPONYA GREED.ELO TWATWKWA NOMBA.ZAMBIANS DISASTER IS LOOMING .

  140. As long as we are always peaceful these polititians will always take advantage of that. We need to react this time if they rig. We cant allow them to steal some more time in government at the expense of peoples suffering. We need to stop them this time

  141. Gents, its MWA MUKOLO!! MWA MUKOLO!!! PABWATOOOOOOOOOO!!! PABWATOOOO!!!
    I have warned you again ur contry will be sold this time around by HH.and he will be the richest man in the world.

  142. We know that M’membe and Sata are corrupt and the post has lost its credibility by coming in the open in support its fellow Bemba Sata.Anyway, how many rural votes read the post? whether they manage to bilnd the CB and Luska pipo but atleast the most enlightened rurla pipo will cast their vote to a proper agriculturalist.
    Abash the post and Sata

  143. M’memebe and the post has lost their credibility by coming openly in support of only one candidate Sata and the PF.
    Goods news is that the 65% of rural voter do not get influenced and read the paper and will vote for a candidate who talk abt agriculture than street tradining and Toilets as Sata does.
    Abash Post and Sata

  144. the young man HH has made it to plot 1!!shame on the post,ZNBC and viva MUVI TV…..we are just waiting for the official inauguration !!!viva dta a and HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH best man for Zambia indeed!

  145. It is sad that PF can be saying that there will ve no elections in 2011. Sata wants to come and dictate things agains the law of the land. Now one would begin to think that probably SATA’s ambition for presidency is the very reason why he did not want to participate in the National Constitutional Conference (NCC) so that it might be a flop. I feel he was scared that changing the constitution would affect presidential powers and that would reduce chances of any president abusing authority in name of the constitution as it is today. Our constituion today gives power to the president to act almost like a dictator if he has a bad heart, and also to act as a democrat if he has a good heart.

  146. # 190 SIR KEN,
    U RE VERY RIGHT MY BROTHER, M,MEMBE IS VERY LOZI,SHAME SHAME!! IT’ MWA MUKOLO FELA!!! MWA MUKOLO FELA!!!!
    PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

  147. Maestro my brother, have you noticed how PF supporters react to challenging questions about their gang leader (Sata)? All they do is to change the topic or resort to abusive language. Mingeli Palata, the other day brought up a good analysis about their gang (PF) and their leader. Like someone already said, all they do is to add a million zeros on their boat. Asked why they don’t want to vote for HH, all I have heard so far is that he’s Tonga and rich, others say he’s a Freemason, others say because he benefitted from the liquidation of companies and others say he has no experience. We’re headed for doom as a region. We can’t have gang leaders as presidents. Mugabe in Zimbabwe. Jacob Zuma in

  148. HH is clean !!!!!viva HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…don’t try to smear him with stinky stuff from RB and satana’s past ..which is stinking ang and has haunted zambia for many years !!!Mwali zoho fela !!!

  149. Destroy them all because other voters have died and we expect the number to be less than it was in 2006 so why should we have the extra ballot papers,nosense.The boat is sailing this time,no jokes we have now captured the whole Zambia,no tricks ,eyes of PF members are open to make sure that no electoral malpractice prevails.Viva Ubwatooooo as the Satamania rocks southern province,Mwamukolo.

  150. #26 should i follow from you that using Bemba to say something good or bad on the blog is evidence of being tribal? No my brother, its a question of being proud of our languages. I wont hold it agaist you if you use tonga, Lozi or Njanja or Luvale as long as you translate. In Bots and RSA they are proud of thier lingua and they use it without appolgy both on TV or Parliament and we should move in that direction for the sake of our culture and tradations as Zedians.

  151. shameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee MMD AND ITS GVT…. BURN THEM IMMEDIATELY….. ALL LOSES WOULD BE CHARGED ON MMD AND ITS CORRUPT GVT

  152. AM A PF SUPPORTER,PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  153. RB will clearly win Eastern Province,

    RB will share win votes in NW with HH and lusaka with SATA,

    SATA will have clear wins in Northen, Luapula,

    HH will clearly win in Southern and central and probably western.

    RB where he will lose will always come 2nd place thus giving him that edge over his two rivals. Overall results= rb 38%, sata 28% and hh 28%.

  154. Iwee #206! is RB your uncle? by what minz wil RB win?

    By the way, Y is RB and his team so scared? if at all he thinks he has more support, y should he worry about the Extra 600 000 Ballot papers? what daz he want to do with these ballots papers? i min, its just simple mathematics!

    RB you are just wasting your time, just start packing, the hour has come for you and your team to say bye. Oh! don’t leave behind your image builders!!!!

  155. Do not concentrate on the 600000 extra ballot boxes,thats just there to divert you attention from where the chief rigger is,VJ.what can stop them from soliciting for more extra ballots from the same manufacturers at a good brown envelope whilst you here talking about the extra 600000 which we have in the country.work up Guys

  156. THIS IS HOW THEY RIG. FIRST THEY WILL USE A VEHICLE WITH GENUINE BALLOTS ORED CAST TO BE TAKEN FOR COUNTING THEN ALONG THE WAY A SIMILAR VEHICLE WITH THE SAME NUMBER PLATE WILL RESURFACE ALONG THE WAY WITH FAKE BALLOTS AND HEAD TOWARDS TO COUNTING AREA

  157. SO PIPO FOLLOW ALL THE VEHICLES THAT WILL BE CARRYING ALREADY CAST BALLOT PAPERS TO THE LAST STOP DONT LOSE TRACK OF THESE VEHICLES PLIZ

  158. NO ELECTIONS IN 2011? THIS IS TRULY ANIMAL FARM. I THINK ITS THE INFERIOR AND POORLY EDUCATED BEMBAS WHO ARE ADVOCATING FOR SATA TO WIN ON THIS BLOG. I DONT SEE A AN EDUCATED AND ENLIGHTENED ZAMBIAN BEMBA WHO WILL VOTE FOR SATA. NO I SEE IT VERY CLEARLY. THE ONES WHO GANG UP OVER THE WEEKEND AT DRINKING HOLES AND HAVE FAILED LAMENTABLY TO RISE BEYOND WHAT THEY CAN. THEY WANT TO USE SATA FOR THEIR OWN AMBITIONS AND NOT FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY. ONCE THEIR MASTER IS IN THEY WILL USE ALL MEANS TO KEEP THEMSELVES IN POWER.

  159. It looks like to me that if RB wins it will be Rigging. This is the way i see it might happen if RB is to Win in the first day they may want HH to lead then the next two days Sata and at the end RB to win elections from no where saying its the rural population. Why the would want HH to lead first is to get him feel he could have been the winner then to follow Sata so that it seems he was close to win and if the extra ballot papers are burnt or not RB he will want to win by a small margin say by 5000 votes so they can say the elections were tough. Lets see how it goes but if RB will win mark my words. remember them.

  160. BREAKING NEWS,THE SATA TITANIC HAS SUNK IN ADVANCE IN LUAPULA SWIMMING POOL,OH SHAME SATA WAS ABOARD AND THERE ARE RUMOURS THAT HE HAD NO SWIMMING SKILLS!!!!! THATS THE END OF SATA SATANA,OUR BELOVED ATTACK DOG,THO TOOTHLESS

  161. I AGREE WITH YOU MALUME,SATA AND ALL HIS SATANABOATTITANIC HAS SANK IN THE HISTORY OF POLITICAL PARTY.WELL. ATLIST HE WAS AN ATTACK DOG SHUWA MBUYA

  162. There will be no polls in 2011 – Sata
    PATRIOTIC Front (PF) leader, Michael Sata, has said there will be no presidential elections in 2011 because whoever will be elected president in this month-end’s election is supposed to rule for five years. And Mr Sata has pledged to restore dignity to Kabwe town by reviving all closed and ailing industries in the once mining district, if elected president.

  163. abwela maestro hehehe na ilele yake. this dude is claimimng that the post are anti-tonga, fine.now my question to him is what tribe is magande? surely he was supported by the post right? well, just like one blogger earlier said, maestro hehehe, ur unreasonable thinking is just hurting what we know of a good man in HH. just stop it bro pls ha!

  164. #223, nabwela opondi. Sata’s current Mouthpiece The POST supported Magande for their Business interests and nothing more or less. Minister Magande is a true let down for he has stayed in the MMD with corrupt elements. His former leader late LPM was a man. The late LPM resigned from the Chiluba’s MMD citing corruption and we all saw how his integrity later helped when he (late LPM) became Zambian President.I was always sure that Magande left the UPND because he had a heart for Zambians but I am very sure now that he was motivated by money. He (Magande) is a good economic manager though. However, integrity matters and the POST obviously knew his integrity, hence their failed wasted support.

  165. maestro but seriously speaking don’t u think u r hurting HH’s chances wth ur apparent hatred 4 bembas in ur “anti-tribalism”? because HH has sought to unify people all Zambians without attacking any tribe like the way u r doing it here

  166. if hh wants to become president,he must resign as a tonga.then we would see if the likes of meastro truly support principle.for now i doubt

  167. #225, I believe that I am not hurting anyone. I am busy showing that the Bemba-Tribalists, mind you not all bemba people, have taken us Zambians for granted. I am not forcing you to vote for HH. Infact, i have no problem with Hh failing to make it to Plot one now or ever in his life. But I have a Problem with cahracters of Sata’s calibre and #226. So, my preferred candidate is HH and there is nothing that will support me from supporting him (HH).
    On the otherhand, I will do my best – of course within acceptable means – to make sure Sata never makes it to Plot 1 as Zambian President.
    If Sata wins, I will just hope my entire extended family in Zambi and all Zambian people manage to live.

  168. I will thus crash all propaganda by showing the truth about the real tribalists. This is so because I am not going to advance wrong and evil doing by keeping quiet.
    Where people insult, I will try to correct them. Where Zambians will show tribalistic tendencies i will point it out.
    I am not a UPND member although Tonga. I can not support RBB now, though I did at first, because of his (RBB) corrupt record in the past one month. I can’t support Brig. Gen. Miyanda because he failed us at UNZA what he was both Veep and Minister of Education. Sata is the epitome of evil-doing for he sent MMD thugs to machete people in Chawama and asked Kaddobbi at Kulima Tower to beat up any UNZA students.

  169. DONT BURN THE 600,000 EXTRA BALLOT PAPERS .WE MAY POLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT ,TAKE THEM FOR SHREDDING AND DONATE TO ZAMBEZI PAPER MILL TO MANUFACTURE TOILET PAPER.

  170. 138. Hit’em up Maestro Hhehhehhehhe sounds very educated and I am sure he is.I am not a upnd guy but always read his comments,he is a true son of Zambia.Maestro Hhehhehhehhe if possible go help your man hh,the guy is failing to tick,that your upnd party needs serious reorganisation and Managerial skills or it will go into oblivion soon.

  171. “Peter asked Vice-President Banda to forgive all those who voted against him”. Why the word ‘FORGIVE’? Not everyone can vote for one candidate. If no people are opposing you, the know there is something wrong with you or the system or both. Please, read the post about the divisions in MMD.

  172. #231, thanks. I am asking the MMD to serious consider endorsing HH before it is too late.
    I am also here to save you all PF supporters from crying, havaving unnecessary heartattacks and being beaten up by the Zambia Army soldiers on the 2nd November 2008. Let those with ears hear for we are in what Dennis liwewe normally used to call “dying minutes”.

    Countdown: 8 days 22 hours 30 minutes remaining and we are counting.
    Vote for real and effective change by casting your ballot for HH to create a safe future for your Children, your Grandchildren and your many generations of relatives to come after you. Zambia Forward.

  173. zambias 1st president was named “DAVID” The 2nd president was “JACOB”and the 3rd was “LEVY” All these three names come from the bible. now tell me which book,chapter or verse were you find such names as HAAKAINDE or RUPIAH NYAMA SOYA. come on pipo “THE ARC ANGEL MICHAEL” Is 4th.

    pabwato
