President Rupiah Banda says people aggrieved about the outcome of the October 30 presidential election are free to petition.
Mr. Banda says according to Zambian laws any candidate who is not happy with election results is free to petition.
The President said Patriotic Front-PF- leader, Michael Sata, is free to reject and petition the results.
Mr. Banda was speaking to Journalist shortly after getting an official portrait at Zambia News and Information Service-ZANIS- in Lusaka on Wednesday.
And President Banda said he is not aware that former President, Frederick Chiluba, helped his campaign in the just ended presidential election.
President Banda said he just read in the newspapers that Dr. Chiluba had gone round campaigning for him.
He however thanked Zambians for voting for him in Thursday’s presidential election.
[ZNBC]
Now you are talking.
Wow at least RB knows the law
A message for Mr.Sata!! Please just go home and sleep. Can’t you be a gracious man and accept defeat. The people of Zambia have voted and you lost. Get over it!
Look at McCain in USA, he graciously accepted defeat and embraced Obama and advised his supporters to work with the new president to ensure a better country for all.
Mr. Sata, please don’t tear Zambia apart due to your bruised ego. If you care for Zambia you will run an effective opposition to ensure that MMD and Banda are kept in check and are only working toward making Zambia better for all.
That is the Rigger himself talking
RB knows very well that the PF leader beat him in the just ended elections. No wonder he was sworn in even before the results in the other contituencies were announced. Obama will be sworn in on the 20th of January and take office a week later. What an emmbarassment
iwe chi banda we r waitin to see who will be yo veep
i hope you will go to south africa to represent those who voted for u.Dont disappoint them by sleeping.
you have chosen a nice descriptive name for yourself #3
I saw a headline in the Post yesterday, were Sata was saying Chiluba introduced rigging in Zambia. Did Sata resign because of rigging, no.
rb appoint sata as your veep
Baby C. RB is just sleeping talking.
ba banda nakakashi kenu bweleleni ku chipata mukulima
Mr. president sir, if i where you i’ld keep quite and focus on the developmental projects. Watch your mouth because the petition are in progress, atleast prove to your people that you not a sleeping ‘Nyama Soya’.
#5 The zambian constitution entells that a president be sworn in 24hrs after annoucing of the final election wici was done and hence it will be unfair to make such comments comparing zambia to USA becoz of the constitution.Lets kindly make upbuilding comments for v sake of our country and not for any of our selfish leaders.We need to make our country better for our childrens children.
#5 Baby C
Your comment is improper. You cannot compare the US elections with Zambia’s.
1. Zambia’s was a bye election. There is NO incumbent President.
2. Such a close result could have led to anarchy in the country therefore it was necessary to put in someone at the helm.
3. The constitution of Zambia limits the Acting President from changing ANY presidential appointments.
4. Election petitions take a very long time to dispose of in court.
5. #14 (concerned citizen) has made my point.
Please, No matter how much we dislike someone we should not bear false witness.
JUST SHUT UP NYAMA SOYA!!!! YOU ARE SUCH A DISGRACE, TO HELL WITH YOU
Faken Ijoti. blali basketi. san avabi ch
WELL RB WILL BE THE WORST PRESIDENT ZAMBIA HAS EVER PRODUCED I THINK PEOPLE ARE ALREADY LAUGHING AT US.WHILE IN SOUTHAFRICA PLEASE ADVISE HIM TO CHECK HIS SLEEPYNESS LEVEL IT SEEMS IT HAS INCREASED TO A HIGH LEVEL TO LET THE SLEEPING DOG LAY.SEE A DOCTOR WHEN YOU CAN.
There is UPND gentleman who is reported as saying that USA is progressive because they have chosen a younger man for President. Why do people think that just because it’s USA it is better? Kaunda was 39 years old when he became Prime Minister and 40 as President. There were more than 100 ‘Zambian’ university graduates in 1964, at least two were doctors. We were not short of intelligencia who could have ruled but everyone agreed that KK was the choice. Reading his works, there is no doubt that he had the brains and capacity to make Professor had he been born in a different era and possibly a Nobel Prize winner had he been in another geography. Don’t despise the day of small beginnings.
Now that a mature way of handling it. Not behaving like savages
Well, Sata should just swallow his bitter grapes silently. The same rigging he engineered to trick Mazoka of the presidency and the same tribal bigotry wave he unleashed on Inonge have come back to haunt him like a ghost. He shall never rule this country, he shall never have a state funeral when he kicks the bucket or neither is he ever going to come anywhere near our corridors of power. If he wants power being the unrepetent janjaweedo that he is, he should go to Katanga and help his nephew Laurent Nkunda’s banyamulenge unseat Kabila. Maybe then Nkunda can make him Katanga Governor.
“President Banda said he just read in the newspapers that Dr. Chiluba had gone round campaigning for him.
He however thanked Zambians for voting for him in Thursday’s presidential election.”
Great stuff my President RB Banda. Let us who are progressive like Mr president Hakainde Hichilema and Brig. Gene. G. Miyanda move on with the time. Those who are behind will continue being in the past, but we welcome them to either join us or complain to appropriate authorities.
Take care President Banda and give us a yound, healthy and politically mature Vice President for Zambia as a Nation and Country.
To you the people of Zambia. Mr Sata has a point. RB did not win the elections. lets wait and see what the courts of Zambia will come up with when the case is taken to them. E.C.Z is checking the ballots to see if for sure RB is elected. Please stop insulting each other. Learn from USA. Politics of insults is long gone. We are one Zambia One Nation remember that always. Let learn to respect each other if we want to take Zambia to high heights. Time is now for all of you Zambia to make a meaningful contribution to the growth and development for our Zambia. Please stop contributing insults on this blog. Thank you!
Why is PF’s Sata in the middle of this fracas. Doesnt the party have other officials/ senior officials that can witness the verification process on his behalf – just to avoid a situation like this? He is always doing the dirty work himself! The keys to the ZANIS van is another example. This is a sign that Sata has taken the loss very personal. Some people had to lose in order for only one winner to emerge. PF was among the lossers.
As sure Sata now regrets having engineered “RIGGING”
DELETED AND POSTER BANNED
We are waiting for a new Cabinet to be ushered in office.
#24 belongs to “ECZ indefinitely suspends the verification after cadres fight”
Wow! wow! Gentlemen & a lady stop missusing this website. Let us learn from USA. Tired of dirty politics prevailing in Zambia. Nali Rigginger and get a VISA to go to America.Is it nice to be like Obama?
Fighting can only happen if you are not honest in your dealings. Please allow peaceful verification. things should be done and every one convinced – this did not happen. How can you anounce results in far places ealier than a place like Kabwe?
we need peace please so let every one be satisfied that there was no underhand methods. Verify – simple
I have no cofidence in ECZ. We should have indipendent pipo to do the verification – i suggest we bring pipo from CANADA to do it.
He said all that knowing that he has influence over the ECZ and judicial system so he knows SATA wont get anywhere with his petition its just common sense.and the 24hr inoguration period was put in place suit the election irregularities in the FTJ time as once in office very little can be done at one time there was discussion on untill the petition is reolved and results verified,only then was a presido sworn in but that was out ruled in FTJ time
#6
The practice in MMD has been that the one who delivers an entire province takes the Vice spot in this case who delivered western province and who delivered northwestern or even central. RB please the VIP should come from any of these Areas we need to maintain these strongholds for the MMD remember the Vision is 2030 middle income income Zambia. The vice president should come from any of those areas napapata Bwezani
Sata won the elections! Ubwatoooooooooo
Ba LT,its commendable on your part to provide the nation with news and comments that are upbuilding.Continue deleting those who cant debate issues but rather insult.Hats off.Let mr.Sata exercise his rights but he should be held responsible for any acts of violence if any,that will arise going by what happened this morning.By the way,can someone matured assist me with the whereabouts of the following pipo;
Mr.Chumbwe
Mr.Willie Nsanda
Mr.G.B.Mwamba
That is the way SATA does it he will never accept defeat.That is why when one of his cadres was boxed, he had to slap that chap as well for revenge.
Nothing you can do dad, go to sleep and bye from the Zed politics.
No good history about you, but will be on the list of street fighters
Viva H H you where not there.
Imwe guys………Nafipita! No going back..what a wasste of time. You think Banda will come out of that office today??? Bufiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. Just vote wisely in 2011.
# 33, still dreaming.LT will delete you from the site, they are bad guys these days and they know where you live and what you do, behave.
We have only one republican presido pa Zed and that is one and only Bwezani Rupiah Banda Nyama Soya.
Viva H H will always love you, man of principles
And those of you insulting SATA! How do u explain Tetaz statement that the list of dignitories to the swearing in ceremony of RB was prepared before October 30 because whoever was going to win was suppose to use the same list? Where on earth do you find a standardised list for such events? Dnt you know that even Presidents have friends they regard more than others! Results were announced on the night into Sunday and yet these chaps went for rehearsals on Saturday! How do you explain this? Since when did an Army General threaten people during elections? When people are angry even a gun cannot work so lets not cheat ourselves. You can insult SATA and he will remain SATA but if these mulpract
RB the dullest president zed eva had!!!
mulpractises continue like this it is the whole country that suffers.
#14, you seem to be happy with the Zambian constitution with it’s shortfalls. I agree with #5 the US constiution should inspire us, our constitution is flawed, swearing in B4 the final result just in case the opposition snatches the presidency away.
#39 how do you measure dullness. if i were to use education i think Mr Sata is the least educated of all presidential aspirants we have ever had in the history of Zambia. RB/Bwezani/nyama soya beats Sata in in terms of education, experience exposure to gorvenance and international relations. Do you think if we gave Mr Sat special paper one would do better now at 72 when he couldnt make it when he was young and got stuck at grade 4
SATA lost the election clean.Recounting even 100 times will show that villagers voted for RB by mistake.The logic is simple.Villagers are told that if they dont like the MMD,they should cross on the clock and if they like the MMD they should do the same.To the genuine village voters grade 2 class room mentality aplies eg 2+2=5,The Shibbukeni teacher cross on the wrong answers and tick the collect answer.Most of the spoiled ballot papers have two things in common a tick on one party symbol and across on the other party symbol.SIMPLE SATA U LOST.
Dear RB
‘Political life is like a mountain railroad with an engineer that’s brave.
You must make the run successful from the election to the grave.
Watch the Satas. the GBMs, the Givens, never falter, never quail;
Keep your hand upon the throttle and your eye upon the rail.
You will roll up grades of trial; you will cross the bridge of strife; See that Christ is your conductor on this lightning train of life. You will find obstructions; look out for storms of discontent and pain; On a fill, or curve or trestle, they will almost ditch your train. You roll across the final swelling tide, you will behold the last post into which your train will glide; then
God’ll rejoice o’ you with pride
Hey guys, did anyone here any specifics from the 4 candidates that stood for president of how they would create jobs and reduce the soaring unemployment levels from astronomical 40% it stands at???

`RB is more intelligent and educated than your president Sata could ever be in a hundred years. It doesnt mean that when your are talkative that you are intelligent. Analyse most of Sata’s comments you discover that his understanding of issues is very shallow. No wonder he was busy promising to find the cure for AIDS within 90 days of coming to power.
chi SATA WAS BUSY FIGHTING WITH CADRES TODAY.NDEO SO
VIVA AFRICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA IN THE DRIVING SADDLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#50.GOLYATI
Read between the line, or is it that you can’t read the writings on the white wall? If one is educated after 44years of Zambian independence, why bring in “IMAGE BUILDERS”? It just shows that this Man was just luck to have finished his school and it did little to reorient his Mind! Intelligence is not only being in class, but it’s for action. If someone never finished school, that does not mean is dull!
Nyama soya slept on of day of swearing vi ZNBC vina chosa fast camera
Even in 2011 we will not vote for SATA. This is the closet to winning Mr SATA has come. It will be tougher in 2011, than it was now.
Sata will always be my man no matter what.Come 2011 its Pabwatooooooooo for life. Do you copy
#50 Geologist
Image builders are employed by poeple who understand their need. They help to portray a positive image of someone. If Sata was as intelligent as Banda he would have employed image builders who would have advised him against foul language and poor dressing to make him appealing to educated and conservative voters. It requires an intelligent person to use proper image builders.Sata in his dullnesss employed the Post, instead of BUILDING A POSITIVE IMAGE OF HIM THEY ENDED creating resentement for him
#50, nabakweba kuli #53,he’s wise.#50 u just like Nyama Soya is he your Uncle???i think so
#56. Disaster ,
Sata said there will be no elections in 2011. According to SATA the one who won must rule up to 2013. So he may boycot the 2011 elections in protest. He would like Bwezani to rule for 5 years. So will only have RB, HH, Miyanda and others; SATA will refuse unless they are pushed to 2011.
pA BWATOOOO FOR LIFE
Sata is a disgress to our society. He is too power hungry. The guy lost and he cant stomach it. He is not man enough.
#59
I think you are right, we shall now campaign for no elections in 2011 in accordance to Sata’s wishes. Pf cadres what do you say?
Whatever you people say, please remember that we have broken a world record. Kenya held that record by swearing in Kibaki within twelve hours of announcing the results, @ nite when everyone was asleep. Now Zambia has broken that record by swearing in Lupiya Banda within 2 hours of announcing the results & at secluded Parliament Buiding, fearing ba kaponya ba PF. Can you imagine PF or UPND’s rally being televised live? We have a lot to learn about democracy, maybe lets send VJ to US, if he can make it, to go & learn how NOT to rig elections, but be a good citizen!!
#42 to be dull and to be educated are two different things all together. Someone can be uneducated but still intelligent, u cant say most of our uneducated rural duelers are dull, nay man!!!
Ronald Reagan, the 40th US president, the man who ended the ‘cold war’ was 70 years old when he became US President? Nelson Madiba Mandela cherished the ideal of an integrated South Africa, Ghandi, non-violence. Every leader is born for one thing only. No one can do everything at once. The best leaders are the ones who know exactly what that ONE thing is. ‘Woe unto me if I do not preach the envanggelion’ Paulos apostolos Iesou Chrstou (cAD 60). The leader who promises 101 things (and in 90 days!) is fake. Obama promises ‘change’, RB promises ‘continuity’, Sata promises mmmm…, what? Remind me again please!
Guys comfirm this rumour tinvela kuno kuchina ati RB, natubanzaka twina mulongoti, teta and others, killed Mwanawasa and chibanda cha Mwanawasa is haunting them.
Intelligence is the ability to learn or to understand or to deal with new or trying situations OR the ability to aply knowledge to manipulate one’s environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria. (M-W collegiate Dict 11ed)
What was Sata’s aim when he joined politics? To be president.
What was RB’s aim when he joined politics? To be president.
They have all applied their intelligence to deal with the situation and manipulated their environments to a desired goal. One wins.
We have a president who is in by default. Banda knows and lets wait who he will appoint the shameless sakwibas. By the way i can not wait for the eye to kill Mwaanga V may be we call have fair elections. Kaunda gave Chiluba the government coz he never rigged the elections, but Chiluba intorduced rigging thinking he would be in power for forever the third term lets not forget!! – But now Chiluba is just like me now an ‘ordinary Zambian citizen’. It is not about what you where but what you are now – an ordinary citizen
#67 Vote Rigger In short what you are trying to say is that the end justifies the means no matter what that means is?
Disgraceful RB…nt my presidnt at all,wil neva be..im sure he even weeweezz wen he is dozing..
Today its SATA crying foul tomorrow it will be you mr your father. thats the way life is… you loud mouths will cry when your time comes. sata is a great man and you can’t take that away from him its why he’s so popular
President Sata..
President RB Banda, has US President elect Barack Obama already given his Inaugural speech? This is so because you, Mr President, have been quoted saying:
“I was very much interested to listen to his inaugural speech. I am glad that I made mine before his otherwise you would think I had copied from him. It was a very lovely, lovely election,” he said.

#69 Anonymous
I am trying to work out who is intelligent between the two.
Politics is all about working out the process by which you get power. It is the power that is the means to an end. However, that process needs to be worked out intelligently. Sata has been sitting in the wings since 1991 waiting to be the third president of Zambia even going to the extent of ‘boot leaking Chiluba’ but to no avail. It shows that he did not learn. RB also once failed to be president except by a stroke of providence he returned from political retirement to be VP. But he emerged MMD candidate above his fellows, that takes intelligence. In retirement he learnt something. Sata remains the same.
One thing, I like about the MMD is that it has tried to follow the way US(A) politics are conducted where the Presidential candidate in not the President/Chairman of the political party which sponsors him/her but just someone who is a nominee. The MMD has now twice, produced Zambian Presidents who were not initially Presidents of the MMD party but only presidential candidates in the name of late Mwanawasa and MMD Trustee Zambian President RB Banda. I am looking forward to see the UPND and/or others to implement such in the near future. In 2006, I was hoping that the UDA would sponsor someone who was not necessary a President of either the FDD, UNIP and UPND. Let us enhance our politics.
Slip of tongue. He meant acceptance speech but there is no problem because Obama repeats himself a lot so he will say the same thing when he is actually inaugurated. By the way, repetition is the mother of knowledge and great communicators repeat themselves ad nauseum. Bad communicators contradict themselves. Today, ‘I will kick out the Chinese,’ tomorrow- ‘No what I meant is…’
Today, ‘I oppose increasing tax on the minning companies’ and next time ‘It is right to increase tax on the minning companies.’ Today, ‘Levy is sick. He should not be president. He is corrupt and appoints his relatives’, tomorrow ‘I am the only one who can continue Levy’s anti-corruption fight.’
I dont see sense in those who apprciate OBAMA’s win and yet supported or support SATA…It does not just match.
#76, hhehhehhehhe. Have a nice day, but hey our Zambian president needs to be alert all the time so that he can make good speechs.
PRESIDENT SATA THE MAN OF THE MOMENT..VIVA PF..
#77, great observation. I mean, you certainly want good thing s for the US(A) which is not even your native country, why must you need the opposite (bad things) for mother Zambia?
Fellow Zambians, let us make sure the President RB Banda Administration gives us all Zambians a Republican Constitution we need so that the delay of 10 years (since 2001) to implement the best of all current Zambian political parties manifestoes, the UPND manifesto.
It is now or never in a long time. I think, Zambia as a Nation and Country has been blessed to see what needs to be corrected in our Constitution as early as this time in the 21st Century to enable us make headway.
Together as Zambian Nationals, YES we shall.
WHY SATA CAN’T WIN PETITION
1. THE OPPOSITION COMBINED GOT MORE VOTES
2. COURTS CAN ONLY LISTEN IF MMD GOT MORE VOTES THAN THE AGGRIEVED PF
3. INTELLIGENT PEOPLE LIVE IN VILLAGES EG THEY ARE CLEAN NO CHOLERA, THEY DON’T DRINK SEWAGER WATER.
4. DONORS EG EU KNOW THAT PF LOST THE ELECTIONS.
5. REAL ZAMBIANS VOTED FOR PARTIES WITH MANIFESTOS NOT ONE OBTAINING IN ONE’S HEAD.
6. REGIONAL OR TRIBAL PARTIES EG ONE TRIBAL PARTIES WHICH HAVE 90% PEOPLE SPEAKING ONE LANGUAGE SCARES OTHER PEOPLE.
7. HOW DO YOUR FIRE PEOPLE 22 MPS, SISALA, KALALE BEFORE YOU WIN. A DULL PERSON CAN SIT DWII-(IDLE)
8.PF SUPPORTERS PLEASE CHECK YOURSELVES, WHICH TRIBAL ARE YOU FROM?

It’s very unfortunate to here this senseless man start passing such comments when he didn’t win! One does not have to cheat in order to win as there’s no pillow as soft as clear conscience Mind. Petitioning & verification of results should have been done, before inauguration! Why did they do it supersonic speed, just two hours after announcement? And when was Robert Mugabe told to come for the ceremony?
correction “Hear this senseless man”
illogical of most people who compare African dirty elections of poverty to the American system.
Mule ikala fye. Banda knows Michael doesnt get money from Equinox, First Quantum, KCM and all those privileged in a foreign land to use for petitions and all that.
Banda has Enerst Sakala in his pocket….see why a decent manifesto of PF says key positions must be filled by voting and giving an individual a term through parliament so that they are not intimidated by the president?
We are yet to suffer….
Invitation letterz were typed on th 30th,meaning our voting was js a formality,one thing these pipo forget is that,nt everyone at OP is in their favor,we get to hear alot..fact is he didnt win..th final election results were knwn by OP a day b4…crap

Very very sad indeed and I hope the police arrested the culprits. Zambia Forward, 2011 here we come for real and meaningful change. Viva HH and the nighty UPND – the HAND that feeds all people bringing healthy in all aspects of Zambian humans, lives.
God indeed answered our prayers by not getting Satana to state house. How on earth can you have an insulting president whose followers are also full of insults. God saw that if Sata was to be at statehouse, all Zedians would have acquired a bad trait of insult haullers and had to correct the situation immediately. If rigging played a role in RB’s victory, it was for a good course.
99.99% of PF supporters are primitive.
CAN YOU PLEASE STOP THE NONSENSE OF CALLING SATA “SATANA”. MANY WHO ARE CALLING HIM THIS ARE FULL OF INSULTS AND HAVE NO RESPECT AT ALL. IN MY VIEW THESE ARE THE REAL DEVILS MASQUERADING AS ANGELS.
ha ha ha wat can i say to u number 100 is sata ur uncle this guy use to call himself king cobra which is the devil.he is a satana 4 sure
Even though God saved zambia from a sata presidency, the MMD govt should take note of the huge rejection they received in urban areas in favour of anyone who promised milk and honey to all. It cannot be business as usual for govt when the majority of zambians are still living on the fringes of the economy and only the only pride we have as a nation is an economy thats growing only on paper. There should be a deliberate policy by mmd to be all-inclusive in their distribution of the nation’s wealth so that all zambians benefit. Each year govt gives (almost) free fertiliser to smallholder rural farmers, what is govt doing for urban smallscale businessmen; the ones vending the streets of Lusaka?
u number 101 u need to lean to respect elderly pipo.Sata is the presindent of urban pipo okey!
Sata never complained about rigging when he was in Government until the scheme/scum started working against. Uyu mufyashi amano yena tesana. When he disorganised MMD on the third term issue we were watching and wondering why. Today he condemns the same person (chiluba) he religiously supported against our country cnstitution. Sata you are sick physically and mentally and only sick people can support you.
# 103 get real. This man called Sata is very immoral and I can give quite a number of reasons why. He is a kaponya himself and surrounded by Kapaonya support. This is not a game where you just shout without thinking. We are talking about the welfare of a country. Get serious pipo we dont need this Sata nonsense not that I believe in RB but that RB was/is better of the useless candidates we had.
# 102 Sarah good point sis.
Abash violent, daft & uncivilised politicians!!! SataNa will never step foot in plot one. He’s nothing but a pile of garbage and Zambians deserve better.
Can someone give me 10 reasons why he/she supports Sata?
*108 ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTION.1.HE IS ZAMBIAN 2.HE IS ILLITERATE 3.HE IS A VIGILANTE .4 HE SUPPORTS FOOD SHORTAGES AND SMUGGLING 5.HE AT LEAST INSULTS US 6.HE IS XENOPHOBIC 7.HE IS VERY BEMBA 8.HE IS SHAMELESSLY PERSISTENT.9.HE IS VERY CORRUPT 10.HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT US BUT HIMSELF(1991 & 2001)
THIS IS WHY I SUPPORT HIM BECAUSE HE MAKES ME MISS THE ZAMBIA OF THE ’80’S.
#108, i support you. 10 may be too much, may be just 5 reasons to support Sata who changes statements everytime he is giving a speech. He once rigged heavily to ensure that his uncle FTJ remained in power when somebody else should have been in plot one. He stormed out of MMD when his uncle prefered the late LPM. He clearly stated during his compains that he was the only one with LPM’s vision, someone he hated so much. Where can one place him?..He…list is endless.
Well spoken # 109. Thumbs up!
CAN ALL SHREK (RB) SUPPORTERS ENSURE THAT HE GETS INVESTIGATED FOR HIS INAPPROPRIATE SLEEPING DISORDER. RB IS A SICK MAN WAITING TO DROP ANYTIME. PREP YOURSELVES FOR ANOTHER STATE FUNERAL AS RB WILL SOON SLEEP ENDLESLY DURING THE MEETING HE IS RUSHING FOR IN RSA WHILE ZAMBIANS ARE STRUGGLING WITH FOOD AND KWACHA SHORTAGES.

Unfortunately Zambia has becaome an extremely corrupt country that is rulled by riggers. There is no such a thing as fair elections where rigging rules. Teach villagers about economics and their rights then ask them to vote and we will see who they will vote for. Informed people in urburn areas have really set the record straight and very clear RB IS HOPELESSLY GOING TO MAKE/ADD TO THE SAD HISTORY OF POVERTY IN ZAMBIA BECAUSE OF VULNERABLE VILLAGE VOTERS. Villages cannot afford food now, what is RB doing about that? DOZING/SNORING!
HK and crazy whatever you call PF supporters does not matter, we will continue supporting PF, not the bunch of thief you are supporting.
i meant thieves on #115
Immoral, low minded and development limited people are the ones who dont understand what SATA is about…
We need control imwe…not going to “investors” when we are disadvantaging ourselves…..
RB ALWAYS HOPING FOR DISRUPTION!SATA IS MAINTAINING HIS PEACE AND DIGNITY, DOES THAT BOTHER RB AGAIN? WHERE IS YOUR DIGNITY RB? calm down RB, now begin dealing with issues to do with Zambia, what are you doing about poverty inflicted by high prices of milliemeal soon after villagers voted for you.

#108 THE MAIN RESASON WHY WE SUPPORT SATA IS THAT HE HAS NO DIRECTION LIKE HIS KAPONYA FRIENDS SO ITS PROVIDES ENTERTAINMENT & FUN WITHOUT REASON. THOSE OF US WHO CANT’ REASON WE FIND IT EASY TO SUPPORT SATA COS HE IS ONE OF US. SEE TODAY’S POST HOW WE INSULTED CHILUBA 4 NO REASON AT ALL. SUCH IS OUR BEHAVIOUR.

# 120 (SP), plz don’t use caps- its tiresome to read your comment.
Can someone dish me with RB’s academic background- I’m really interested to see that. Plz help me with this infor.
I really want to know if he’s from the world of books or from somewhere else
I want to participate in this debate- but I really don’t know RB. Plz freedom fighters and so forth, help us- his profile isn’t on any website.
