Clergyman censures unruly political cadres

Share

A Lusaka-based clergyman has strongly condemned the hailing of insults at former President, Frederick Chiluba and physical attack on his press aide, Emmanuel Mwamba by suspected opposition Patriotic Front cadres at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross yesterday.

Bishop Bwanali Phiri of World Baptist Evangelistic Association said the incidence showed lack of respect for leaders.

He further said the use of violence and vulgar language could be a recipe of political skirmishes in the country.

Bishop Phiri said it was embarrassing that some leaders of political parties were failing to discipline their cadres, who stir up calm situations and engage into violence.

He lamented that women were being used to insult and disrespect people by some political leaders.

He explained that people that were in authority or once held respected offices should be given the respect they deserve at all times.

Bishop Bwanali said leaders should guide their cadres especially that the campaigns were over not.

He said political leaders should espouse Christian values and principles so that there was peace in the country even after elections.

He has since called on the Evangelical Fellowship of Zambia (EFZ), Christian Council of Zambia (CCZ) and the Zambia Episcopal Conference (ZEC) to consider holding a reconciliation meeting with all political party leaders in the country.

Yesterday, suspected PF cadres reportedly scorned Dr. Chiluba and used unpalatable language on him during the funeral service of the late former Prime Minister, Elijah Mudenda at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross.

  1. I agree with the clergyman’s remarks. But our leaders must also think about the reasons’ behind people hurling insults at them. People of Zambia are bitter, where is their tax money going? Leaders tell us!

  2. Human beings have different ways of expressing their disapproval those with weak and fainty hearts resolve to the easiest violence…PF is for Peace!!!

  3. You probably have heard this a thousand times, it’s time to reflect… as Pre sident elect Obama assembles the best minds there is in the US, both Reds and Blues, to tackle economic issues facing firstly America, then the rest of the world from 1600, Pennsylvanian avenue! He’s smart, disciplined, pragmatic, and optimistic. The guy has no time for basking in victory euphoria.

    We have a lot to learn and unlearn as a people of Zambia. I’m suspicious that even in the next elections, if as a country we knew which way to go, but still, we probably won’t go there.

    Any news of RB’s vision and new look cabinet?.

  4. The incidence was very unfortunate, the woman took it too personal and it was done at the wrong place and at a wrong time..viva peace…………

  6. Bishop u cant control people (cadres) even in yo own church chaps misbehav u cant control them but u shud pray for them to change

  7. What happened, happened and am sure the woman has regreted. RB has extented an olive oil to the loosing candidates, let them grab it and we move on as a country. There can only be one president at a time, this time it is RB’s time, who knows who will next,……..

  8. Yesterday,we were morning our freedom fighter Elijah Mudenda and yet the PF leader was planning who to beat.Who is a ‘leader’in management a leader is a person who leads others.So Sata you are not a leader,next it will be PF caders beating innocent Zambian,but a thug-sata.Think twice.2011 is around the corner.

  9. violence for whatever reason should be condemned at all times. That chi woman needs to be charged for assult and for using profanity. Koma ya vuta strategy mu kabwato zooona…

  10. Why waste money petitioning the elections?The could have helped you for the PF convention.NO vote,we need a PF convention for you(Sata)to be subjected to 2011 presidential elections.Zambian demand that and not self imposed PF LEADER.

  11. In my opinion, Chiluba made a good leader. Cautious, eloquence, age etc. Sata is hard hardworking but indisplined guy. If u lost it is not Chiluba who made u lose NO. U thought zambia was Northern Province alone, u got it wrong. Ur age is making u lose temper, u shall never stand again. Be like MacCain guy. Chiluba´s age is still valid, if he wanted could stand again. So be a good boy ba Sata.

  12. Why waste money petitioning the elections?The MONEY could have helped you for the PF convention.NO vote,we need a PF convention for you(Sata)to be subjected to 2011 presidential elections.Zambian demand that and not self imposed PF LEADER

  13. PF again,the other day it was the chief cadre(SATA) himself who bt up some one and today its some woman beating up pipo.Shame.U can imagine the kind of lawlessness this country would have bcome had ICHIBWATO not hit the icebeg.VIVA HH.

  14. Zambia is amazing, some months ago FJT was being used by LPM as an example of the corruption fight, now the man can’t even be insulted? Abash the dwarf!

  15. GIVE HIM SOME OLIVER OIL…..SATA ONLY REFUSED BECAUSE HE IS CERTAIN THERE IS NO CAPACITY TO PROCESS THOSE BRANCHES INTO OIL

  16. BUN DEM DREAD where art thou mon!. ka situaation tense bak a yaad de. Di PF cadre dem fight an fuss alms ouse a gwaan mon. Bt feel nuh way ka disya Zed life fi real, zeen!

  17. Please,let us not exhibit ignorance,were it is not suppose to be.Why shower insults at the second President,for God’s seek,he has the fudamental freedom of speech,movement,association etc.
    But PF leadership has started manifesting ITSELF.Slapping,showering insults all this is coming from their pompus leader(SATA).
    Please sata,we have cheap fertiliser,go back to the land and make Zambia green.

  18. yes we are together re-couting of ballot papers following the letest news from southern province that…………..tule kumona chiluba. mulogoti acili mu UTH.

  19. What christian values? look at your felo pastor nevers and chiluba himself. God is just and so dont oppress people and exepect them to be happy. Give people waht they want and voted for and that is CHANGE!!

  20. It is very surprising indeed that the man who was and is facing charges; one who was stripped of his immunity today is a factor.Chiluba is a thief,PERIOD! and such should be treated like one!

  21. Hi all guys and gals. King Cobra is like that-a disgrace Preident of the biggest opposition politcal party. But dont get supprised by his behaviour. He’s a brainchild of Chiluba’s corrupt regime that was characterised by murders, exam leakages, cadre mentality u name it. For now guys, lets help Akulu Mphuno form his Cabinet. My contribution from Vice President down is this:

    Veep-Felix Mutati
    Finance-Chibamba Kanyama (Let magande go)
    Home Affairs-Ronnie continues
    Education-
    Commerce-Dora Siliya (She must be moved and leave Zambian Airways alone)
    Mines-Kalombo Mwansa continues
    Local Government-VJ
    Energy-Ronnie Sisala
    E.t.c

  22. I really felt bad for chiluba when i watched the clip on muvi tv news,iam pf but what hapnd yesterday was very bad,this is a former president for Gods sake,let us give him the respect he deserves.

    Pf members please no violence,and no bloodshed let us just work hard for 2011…

    Viva Pabwatoooooooo .

  23. Can MMD slappers cease their acts, Mr SATA is maintaining his PEACE and DIGNITY and that irritates RB.My family voted for RB in Choma, now they are poverty stricken.

    We need PF now because it is the only party that speaks for the poor. Choma village children are starving and cannot go to school! where is RB.

    SATA PLEASE HELP, WE REGRET! VIVA PF.

  24. Still this should not be an excuse to set Dr. Chiluba free from his corruption charges. RB said he wants to continue with Dr. Mwanawasa’s programmes and our Late President worked hard to fight corruption, so President RB, let justice prevail. if the case attracts crucification, why are we wasting time, lets go ahead with it………..

  25. This just shows a glimps of what would have happened had Pf won!!! There probably would have been unruliness from the caders!!! Hurling insults and beating up everyone. Thank you Lord you didnt allow that to happen. Im not a Chiluba supporter but i was really asshemed to be a Zambian when i sew the behaviuor of those peolpe. That was a funeral, People were morning, it was totaly the wrong time to start Politiking!!!! If that woman sew her behaviour on T.V news, Im very certain she is very ashemed…….. Shame on you!!!!!!

    This is a must see movie that has sold millions of copies. It is a remake of the 2001 & 2006 editions.The movie starts with a Driver from Kalomo being caught loading ballot papers and ends with the Titanic sinking. Only in this movie, the captain of the ship barely survives and hits a colleague of the Kalomo driver…

  27. First lady, we are not any where close to Violence…what you saw yesterday is just a way of certain pipo’s expression of their disapproval…Big up you heal fast…even if you heal fast, when you see the way our pipo are suffering to meet ends kuti walila and now someone comes and tempers with their voice!!! Awee mummy!!!

  28. Obama is a young leader,Please Zambian,why do want to be lead by an old man(SATA) who has resorted to slapping and beating the pontential electorate in 2011.

    I voted for Sata,but now i have started regrating,beating,slapping send PF cadres to start exhibiting bad behaviour.Zambian,it is high time you thought twice,before you become a victim of cirmustance.

    Dr.Chishimba,were are you?Please challenge during the PF convention.It is the time for the young to rule,America has done it,Tanzania.

    The old man(SATA)has lost vision,because of his cardic problem.This is a medical piece of advice.

  29. THATS WHY PF CAN NEVER RULE ZAMBIA! WE SHALL NOT ALLOW POOR FINISHERS AND IT’S GANG SUPPORTERS TO RULE ZAMBIA,IF IT MEANS RIGGING IN 2011,WE SHALL RIG TO MAKE SURE HOOLIGANS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO RULE OUR COUNTRY.ABASH PF ABASH SATA SATANA!

  30. #37 U R THE ONLY SENSEABLE CADRE IN PF,PLIZ TELL SATA TO ARRANGE FOR A CONVENTION SO THAT U CHALLENGE HIM OR QUIT NOW AND JOIN A DECENT PARTY LIKE UPND.VIVA #37,VIVA HH.

  31. Whatever our comments can be on chiluba before the courts find him quilty,he is innocent hence lets not be judges of him before that is done and watever we may say or do he still deserves the respect like any other leader.its unfortunate that we dont have such leaders who can lead their cadres.Peace to all zambians.

  33. Ba Kafupi, do not take people for granted, your time has already passed. Listen and learn to respect people’s wishes. baku lamipama po fye.

  34. Its hard 2 believe tht woman is PF,it’s jus a suspected PF cadre,she cud even be MMD,hired 2 look as if She’s PF,becoz everyone wants 2 blame PF,coz they neva got 2 celebrate the so called Speedy Inaguaration Victory,u cud see there was no smiles on all the Security officers tht Kept Security @ Parliament,they looked frustrated,only thoz senior officers who are on contract untill 2011,simed 2 be the only ones Happy,NO..Victory Car Convoy along the Streets wat a waste of a victory..

  35. BANE I HEAR SYLVIA MASEBO IS IN HOSPITAL AS WELL. FISHI ALELWALA? I WILL BE COMING BACK HOME SOON. PLS UPDATE ME! EEEH CHALO YESU NA ZAMBIA.

  36. if given a chance to beat some of these politicians ,i WOULD do it.They take zambians for granted.Dont accuse the ordinary cadres its some of politicians s behaviour especially political prostitutes

  37. AS LONG AS I LIVE,I PROPHESY THAT SATA WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT AND WILL NEVER STAND IN 2011.MARK MY WORDS,IAM A MAN OF GOD, WATEVA I SAY,IT’S SO!

  38. country men and women-the other day people exchanged blows and now insulting FTJ the former president,Zambians are bitter,now I do’nt know what will be next but let us not support violence and insults at all-I repeat what I said in another posting,do not insult even the political leader you oppose,it is not a solution.ZAMBIANS LET US FIGHT FOR CHANGE AND CHANGE WE SHALL,CHANGE WILL COME SOON,LET US HAVE A BETTER CONSTITUTION,THEN MANY OPPRESSORS WILL NOT HAVE CHANCE TO OPPRESS OUR CHOICES AND DEMANDS.
    Honestly speaking,I’am tired of injustice and oppression ordinary zambiaans are going through–I’am not affiliated to any political party but change we can and change we shall.GOD BLES ZAMBIA

  39. #36 VP =Kabinga Mpande or Inonge Mbikusita Lewanika…. someone from the western province
    Finance = Magande ..may continue due to pressure from IMF,
    Home = Ronnie may go…he may dispose off LPM’s relatives

  40. #44 Maestro Mabwetebwete your Southern Province “obama” did it again with a landslide in Tongaland. The ‘intellectuals’ he continues to entice saw through his boardroom mannerisms and responded with a resounding “no” vote but he was consoled by his tribesmen. Bravo Tongas for being illusional!

  41. #46 it’s good u have come to yo senses and pliz i invite u to join us in UPND where there r no insults but issues and i can assure u come 2011 HH will b president.A lot of pipo have learnt from USA. kA SPECTATOR ka kashala kake ne chibwato chakako.VIVA HH.

  42. ITS VERY UNFORTUNATE,IT WAS DONE WRONGLY AND AT THE WRONG TIME AND PLACE.
    IT PORTRAYS A BAD PICTURE TO HER GRAND CHILDREN HOPE SHE HAS REPENTED.

  43. Memories are still fresh,pangs were used by then MMD in Chawama during elections.Who was behind all these?Who elso the Kaponyas under the leadership of SATA.

    Sata’s chameloan type of leadership.Zambian have now come to know the true.

    Mr.Chiluba is a victim of circustance for not handpicking him(sata)in 2001 election.
    Please sata do not offload the anger on innocent Zambians.Your time is up!

  44. Wait a minute, as long as people continue mentioning names of political parties when there is violence, we will not develop. Did the woman have a PF identity card to prove she from PF? One thing for sure is that people have different opinions at this time of the year and some would like to take advantage of the porous situation to do what they want. Let us open our eyes and see beyond the nose. Mwikala patalala mwine apatalika.

  45. Mr clergy man.first tel th leaders to behave themselves,ths is js the begining,there wil b instant justice mobs,pipo ar upset and dnt wana any crap to cros them.

  46. What Bishop Bwanali Phiri said is very true But if the some people who where in authorty do not respect them selves through their doing and respect the will of the people how do you expect one to respect them Chiluba desrved what he got even more than that it becouse of him we are in this situation if he did not introduce regging as Sata said all this could not have been there Useless man I rest my case.

  47. Why did the woman insult Chiluba. Was it to do with his past presidency or PF? Do PF have any quarrel with Chiluba. I though Sata and Chiluba have an on-off friendship. is it in Off-position right now.

  48. Even a mad person cannot say ill words towards Nelson Chisala.Chiluba discredited himself. They are living on our tax money.

  49. Poor PF, you get the blame for anything. The other day at a shopping mall – a lady claimed she was being harrassed over parking space and she shouted ati Fi PF munichita harrass. The men were taxi drivers who could have been from any party.

  50. Mark that woman’s words;”You Chiluba if Kaunda knew how to rig elctions you would not have become president” Violent or not what that woman said made more sense because Chiluba from day 1 started finding ways and means to be in power till death threfore defeating the reason why MMD was formed.

  51. I remember that during the 3rd term saga, Sata printed nice caps for Chiluba and cadres. Written on the cap: “Chiluba Man of Peace”

    Sata should print more of those caps and give them to his cadres. That woman can have two. Chiluba is a man of peace, let him enjoy his peace.

  52. That’s Sata for you PF thugs.

    Also, Kafupi, for sure must bring back the money. He only gets sick when its time to defend himself in court. He even had time to go to campaign.

    RB, we are watching you. No reconciliation with plunderers, otherwise, you are also gone.

  53. the woman you saw is tipical of what you expect when sata wins an election. their will be massive indiscipline both at the presidential level and at lower ranks. thank God the Boat failed to rich the habour

  54. The Clergyman is right to condemn those acts; he is right to sate that their leaders need to guide the cadres. While PF cadres have a share of their own blame, they have a wrong role model. All that PF cadres are doing is to try and be like their role mole, Mr SATA. Sad!

  55. YES I AGREE TOO… SATA WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT!! EVEN IF WE NEED CHANGE LETS LOOK FOR DECENT CHANGE!!!! PEOPLE U FORGET EASILY.. REMEBER WHAT HAPPENED IN 1991 WHEN WE NEEDED CHANGE AT ALL COST!

  56. Let Di likkle man FTJ suffer, him ah cause nuff misery pon de people dem. If i and i woulda meet him, Mi woulda give him big uppercut

  57. I am back in circulation. I was fasting and reflecting. I have finally discovered that all politicians are desparate to make a living at plot one, at the expense of miserable taxpayer. You must be mad to vote for anyone. Wether a gorrilla,chimpanzee,velvet monkey or baboon. Four wicked candidates-and its up to you to classfy who is gorrilla,baboon etc…….. By the way when is Vela Chiluba tembos wedding with H.E Bingu of Malawi? Anyone with info call me on 099999999…………

  58. Well done lady if it was me I could have done something worse kukapuba ako. Anyway it shows those who voted that Chiluba will soon be a free man with UNIP back.

  59. During the 3rd Term attempt, Esther Nakawala was Sata’s right hand woman. He even promoted her to some senior position in Lsaka MMD. I was surprised she only joined PF a day before elections.

    The 3rd Term inner circle included FTJ, Sata, Nakawala and the late Christopher Chawinga.

    What do PF supporters think of the past 3rd Term saga. Would they support Sata if he attempted to change Zambia’s constitution so he can get a 3rd Term, and may be even more terms? What does PF constitution say on the party president’s terms in office (and also of the head of state’s). Please educate us.

  60. Im shocked that people are surprised abt the happenings in the past few days.U guys dont know Sata,that is wat he is he is too old to change pliz forgiv him.He is slowly realising that that was his last chance 2 get 2 Plot 1 and he wil stop at nothing even if it means the court cases drag for the next 3 years.The pastor shud pray 4 him and we will need to fundraise his medical bills as RB may not b as generous as LPM.

  61. That woman did what she was feeling at that time coz we all have different reactions.I personally feel that even though we can’t prove it the rural pipo can’t manage to put my friend in power and i want to protest the way i desire.

  62. I think let me voice out my views on Chilubas issue. If chiluba is a thief then he did not steal alone most people benefited from his stealing especially those who bought houses at very cheap prices as cheap as 10 pin. Most people are now enjoying themselves in big mansions which they benefited from Chiluba. I wished one day chiluba would challenge all those who got house at give away prices to surrender them back to the government. Ifintu kulinganya.

  63. #59 I also used to pray that Sata never rules Zambia, but now though seemingly answered, I am thinking it could have been a wrong prayer…because in the US elections conservative evangelicals were praying that Obama will never rule their land… but God chose him to lead anyway… meaning their choice was not Gods choice.. what do you think?

  64. #75 you are right ka Chiluba is Just reaping he sole. And it should be a lesson to the rest that there is no way you can mercilessly Steal from poor people in the manner he did Such leaders of his type will die and national celebration write follow. Any way, that aside, now lam # 36. Never mention old forces like chi VJ anymore in the new government Nee are on Mwanawasa ‘s way of governance. Wilatubwesha Ku numa!

  65. I am sure that every one now knows what PF espouses, PF’s creed is that public service must be more than doing a job efficiently and honestly. It must be a complete dedication to the people and to the nation with full recognition that every human being is entitled to courtesy and consideration, that constructive criticism is not only to be expected but sought, that smears are not only to be expected but fought, that honor is to be earned, not bought… Well FTJ was around all this was thrown out of the window…

  66. #92 Pastor J

    God is the God of all mankind. He rules over all the nations of the earth and he sets upon them whoever he pleases. He loves every person because he created them in his image and likeness, no matter how that person is rebellious against God. So if the Lord put Obama there, then it was the best for all mankind, not just those in USA. Remember, the USA is the most powerful nation in the World. It has an immense responsibility on the earth. Check Babylon in the book of Daniel. God placed the whole earth under King Nebuchadneza. God owns the earth, he craeted it and put man on it. He does whatever he pleases in heaven above and on earth below. And no man can question God.

  67. maaaaaa!!!!BA 10 nabafitoba, thats a new one OLIVE OIL!!!Maaa!!!any way na ba LT bene!!!!YAAAAAAAA!!!!awe Kweena….SIVINTHU NAFUTI!!!!LOL!!!!!!

  68. *89 RB’S FRIEND.YOU ARE TRULY PF PLEASE CHECK THE VOTERS REGISTER .
    WE HAVE MORE VOTERS IN RURAL AREA BWANA DONT BE CONFUSED BY THE LOW POPULATION DENSITY. ANYWAY KEEP CRYING!! ITS YOUR RIGHT AND I AM SURE TIME WILL HEAL U.

  69. Chiluba and PF had a special relationship,remember how they used to dance and receive at the airport each time he came from medical garage in south africa.let pf do what ever they want to do.Not everybody likes to be dribbled.

  70. As Zambians we need to preach peace at all times while we know that peoples tempers are still high especially here on the cbelt lets exercise self restraint

  71. Why are there “political cadres” in Zambia? Do other countries like America have them? I just read bad news about them most of the time.

  72. Both Sata and Chiluba participated in the rigging. That is why Sata can’t elaborate when and how rigging was done and against who. Sata was Chiluba’s bootlicker who even supported the illegal third term bid by the disgraced Chiluba. The two are thieves and criminals trying to sell their half baked concocted stories to Zambians for sympathy. We should refuse and resist being taken for a ride. The two are reaping what they saw. In the unlikely event that Sata is elected President, he will use the same rigging tactics against Zambians.

    The Rhodesian

  73. THE FORMER KING COBRA(NOW A WORM) HAS GONE IN OUR HISTORY BOOKS AS THE MOST REJECTED POLITICIAN IN ZAMBIA AND PROBABLY AFRICA .AND IT APPEARS TIME AND AGE ARE CATCHING UP.COME 2011 HE WILL JUST BE A SHADOW OF HIMSELF IF NOT ALREADY RESTING IN ETERNAL PEACE.WHAT A PEST!!!

  74. Ine mwandini chapapusha,Cycle Mata has now resorted to fighting. I tell you people I was around when he slapped that gentleman as we were waiting for our allowances. I voted for him but I’ve just realised that he is not a right person for Zambia. Fighting is not a trait of a good leader. Viva wisdom!!!

  75. #111 fighting is what Mudenda and others did to liberate our country. A slap is just a slap, get some perspective

  76. Bishop,FTJ is reaping what he sowed.I pray for worse things to come his way like those while he is still alive.He introduced Thugery and Rigging of Elections and you expect Zambians to kneel for him while he is enjoying tax-payers money?.Tell him to repent his sins,its your job to help pagans like Chiluba,thats why you are there.

  77. There’z a saying in Bemba… ati… “Mumbwe pakulila, nishi na ishiba uko ashintilile bokosi..”! literally translated as “For a hyena to bark, it must have its ass well secured..!” end of translation.! This applies to all of you “Economic Prostitutes.” can you come home and sort out the mess instead of insulting others.

  78. Am I glad the free mason man HH is under our feet again!!!hahaha hehehe hihih hohohoooooooooooooooooooo. Thank you Jesus for the Victory!

  79. a reminder to upnd fellows, let us not forget that you were the first ones to bundle up VJ at Andy’s Funeral (or maybe it was a right place for you guys) , then u introduced the mapatizya formula. At mulungushi where hh was fraudulently elected, we saw how you beat up Saki’s supporters.

  80. 107. I don’t think there are “political cadres” in countries like America becoz there people don’t vote for political parties but for individuals as long as they are able to deliver. They also look at the calibre of an individual.

  81. Ba PF, you should be ashamed of yourselves. In 2006, Chiluba was an angel to you just because he supported you. Now that he supported RB, he is the devil that deserves punching and think Zambians will believe your antics. Once beaten, twice shy. Viva HH 2011.

  82. SORRY BLOGGERS AM OUT OF TOPIC.
    AM ON MAUREEN MWANAWASA’S ISSUE OF REFUSIN A HOUSE IN ROMA. Am highly disapointed wth this woman,i hav so much respect 4her bt this is a disapointing statement,a woman of her calibre? Has she eva tasted poverty 4her 2say that? Is it LAW she studied or IDIOCITY?
    One wonders

  83. #118

    Just like the Post Newspaper – 2006 Sata is rubbish. 2008 Sata is an angel. Useless paper, I wonder why people buy that paper with their hard earned money. Only to make Mmembe rich.

  84. #33 we got what we wanted and that is MMD to continue and that was the simple majority’s wish . Your political preference of P.F and Micheal Sata as a leader is not everybody’s political preference or inclination. Just because you wanted Sata and he didnt win doesnt mean the Zambian People’s wish has not been carried out. Please never forget that. There are some of us here who are happy that Sata lost and prayed day and night that he didnt make it to plot one. Our wish was granted. So dont go saying the people’s wish, the people’s wish. You can rephrase that to read as the PF’s wish not the majority voters wish.Please. Sata’s true colors and his cadres are in the open for all to see.

  85. Chiluba’s health has dramatically improved lately.I wonder whether there has been a psychological boost,like RB coming to power!

  86. HE NEVER SLEEPS OR SLUMBER.AND A WATCHFUL EYE ON HIS CHILDREN HE CASTS.HE REDEMS THEM AND WILL PUNISH THOSE WHO PLUNDER AND STEAL FROM HIS OWN.ONE BY ONE THEY SHALL KNOW TO RESPECT THE KIDS OF THE MOST HIGH.ON THEIR BENDED KNEES THEY WILL REGRET.AS THEY NASH THEIR TOOTHLESS GUMS IN A NOSTALGIC DANCE OF WISHFUL AGONY.JUST WATCH……………..

  87. #19 mulekwata amano is copperbelt & lusaka northern province don`t just comment, how old is RB? SATA is a man of peace just thank GOD for him

  88. ka chiluba should not be spared but taught a lesson that he will never forget in his remaining years on earth, bcoz he is the one who has put us in this mess, he woked up Cabbage to be a presdo and Cabbage woked up Nyama Soya just to come and mess up the country with his sleeping sickness.

  89. An unfaithful husband is making love to his wife and suddenly loses his erection.

    Husband,’ Ya! but fi MMD now they are even following us to the bedroom, they’ve just rigged my Erection imagine bana bwalya.’

    Wife,’ Awe fyena ifi fyachilamo bashi Bwalya, I can freely tell you that you are not being fair to me,we need an independent observer to come and
    sort out this problem before this marriage falls apart.’

    Realizing how serious the problem had become, he decides to sort it out himself.

    Husband,’sorry my love, actually that was just a rejected ballot, let me vote again in a free and fair manner’

    True to his word he casts his vote again and the couple is back to passionate

  90. This time you arrived late on the scene to capture the clip the boxing fight of Sata vs MMD cadres Round one.. Come on my fellas, do a great job next time. I know you are trying, since the Post newspaper has sunk with the ship, you have got potential, you can be the next news agents to deliver to the nation without bias. Think about a newspaper as well.
    By the way people are jumping from the sinking ship and they a shouting for life jackets. Nakawala from matero is one of them swimming for life to the shore. Fred Mmembe has decided not to swim he is geting to the bottom of the sea with the ship. He is very patriotic and loyal.

  91. #59 are you a genuine prophet or prophet of doom. Anyway I think you belong to these churches that have been given brown envelopes by FTJ. Kubbisamina muchurch.

  92. #99 I agree with you. but then..some people where praying That Sata wins, others that RB wins, yet others that HH wins.. are such prayers in accordance with the will of God? Is it right to draw God into party politics? I think a christian should make general prayers for Gods will to be done in the nation rather than asking God to make a certain politician win the election.

  93. #2. Regardless of what bitterness people harbour why use insults. What is even more disrespectful is that it happened at Mr. Mudenda’s funeral. Have these people no manners nor respect for the dead. Even in our own Zambian culture, one wouldn’t start a fight or a quarrel whilst attending someone’s funeral. This just shows the calibre of some certain partie’s leadership. There is a saying “The fish rots from the head” and what the PF supporters did is an example of the leadership they are following. Disgusting and despicable behaviour.

  94. if VJ joined PF and was appointed presido by Mr. Sata, PF cadres would still support him since all they want is change

  95. Zambians do not behave like this and NOBODY should condone such primitive behaviour and goings on. I am mightili peeved that Mr. Sata could allow such to happen while a family is mourning. Why air hi dirty laundry at a funeral of afigure head in our political history. THIS SHOULD STOP. PF mightas well spit on Mr. Mudenda’s grave by the way their cadres behaved.

  96. FTJ deserves it. You earn respect, it doesn’t come on a silver plate. Sata can be called a kaponya but he has spent his life fighting for the poor no enriching himself nama suit na pembela ntushe. Sata is probably the best opposition leader in Souther Africa, no fear. Viva Sata

  97. Chiluba may have wronged and he has his share of blame. But the main problem was his advisor, Mr SATA, who misguided him for 10 years. He wanted to continue misguiding him even after 10 years and so he fought for a third term for Chiluba. Now he wants to deceive the intellectually vulnerable into believing that he can make a good leader, how? Anyway, the problem is that he knows that most minds are very simple. He is not worried about the few that reason and analyse issues, but he is worried about the many that feel thinking is a burden.

  98. UBUFUMU BUCHINDIKA UMWINE !!! BA CHILUBA KNOWS WHAT IT MEANS AND WHATEVER YOU SOW SURELY YOU SHALL REAP. PEOPLE ARE BITTER AND PRAY FOR THE HEARTS OF PEOPLE TO CALM DOWN !!! EVEN YOU WHO BLOG HERE DON`T PRETEND YOU DON`T KNOW THE EXTENT OF BITTERNESS IN THIS COUNTRY!! MOVE AROUND TOWN AND ASSESS THE MOOD OF PEOPLE.

  99. # 36 you must be very dull to propose Sisala as minister of energy and Chibamba Kanyama as Minister of Finance. cant you even learn from what the U S A is doing . We dont just apoint anyhow. rember this are very sensitive position we dont need people who just make noise. its not just talk talk.

  100. True Sata is the best opposition President in Southern Africa. He should leave being president to others especially now that he is old and partially ill…Ichikonko he is even biting up opposition cadres… The President sure… what will the people on the treet do kanshi!

  101. First of all those leaders seeking seeking the respect of zambians should first of all earn that respect through integrity and truthfulness.Apart from that they should conduct themselves in a manner worth of the office they bear.

    Their past evils have power to haunt them in future.What is happening to these leaders is something they entertained,natured during their time, these are just but effects of what the past can do to our future.

    It was good when they were in power,now it comes back to haunt them.

  102. What happened ofcourse cannot be entertained, we condemn it in its strongest terms.

    Pepople fanning such stupid acts happens to be people we know, people we stay with, people with children,people we can call our mums and dadies.Its a shame.

    Where is the respect fellow zambians,I doubt if any Tonga can do that, they are well cultured to do such a thing.

    Those must be from a loosing candidate commanding a population of street kids for his supporters.Look at what happened in Kamwala around 12am, unrully PF street kids blocked moptorists.

    Next time be careful, who you give your vote.

  103. Zambia is now very desperate for change like a woman in her late forties whose never been married before she would even accept her hand for marriage from anyone without bearing in mind whom she’s getting married to as long as long as there is someone beside her. Its only after few months that she realises ati canshi cipondo. So apa naikosako pa ZED.

  104. Can we kwit the hypocrisy… SATA and FTJ were partners in Crime… how can you condemn on and bless the other. If FTJ is the devil then i think it is only logical, fair and intelligent to say 2 can only work together if they agree. SATA is also a rigger. He advised and executed himself… LETS BE REAL PLEASE… FTJ FTJ fyototo fyototo get real

  105. Ba kafupi bakabepaya bushiku bumo. How can a former president become a political prostitute. Chiluba was a ngonga president who kaunda rightly called shortman with short ideas. VIVA UBWATO. HH sory,he will never rule Zambia in his life time if his party conitnues to be tribal. Atleast PF is well balanced in Lusaka and Copperbelt. What kafupi has is all stollen property including the wife. How can we respect such a leader?

  106. # 39 (SR) I THINK YO FAMILY WAS ALREADY POOR. DONT ACCUSE RB FOR YO POVERTY AS HE HASNT BEEN IN POWER LONG ENOUGH TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YO POVERTY. AND I THINK U WILL CONTINUE WALLOWING IN POVERTY GOING BY THE WAY U ARE REASONING. DONT DESPAI, AT LEAST U HAVE SLAPS TO WTCH AND INSULTS TO HEAR AS YO DEFEATED LEADER (SATA) TRIES TO SHOW HE CAN STIL HAVE SOME IMPACT IN SOME WAY

  107. I also noticed on Muvi TV how Chiluba was insulted by PF cadres, it is really sad. But one thing FTJ should realise is to stop following ukwalola umwela.

    Sata was the last man to be with FTJ when everyone ran away at the time of his prosecution but then he abandons him after the death of LPM. These kinds of politics from our leaders without morals are bad.

    RB is also keep a distance from FTJ so we will see who is going to comfort him. Remember what RB said the other: “I am not aware that FTJ campained for me.”

  108. What goes around comes around. Live by the sword , die by it. You rig for 10 yrs and dont repent from it …. you’ll also suffer the consequences of rigging. Big man SATA the best opposition president should have fought rigging in the 10 yrs of being in power. Now the rules of life dictate that he deserves to loose to a rigging candidate…. but theres no proof even that they rigged.

  109. That PF man should not just incite people to rise against our heads of state, if he has any evidence of rigging why not go to court instead of telling us, why cant he tell the courts.

    The man likes making false claims on radios, buthe fears taking those issues to court.Now what happens those kaponyas take him serious by harrasing former heads.

    This is the guy who used to pink women on their buts, insulting people from every angle.

    This man must be stoped before he sets this country on fire.

  110. Some senior citizens are known as ‘freedom fighters’, how honourable!
    On the othere hand, Mr SATA will be remember as ‘third term fighter’, how sad!

  111. Nakawala, if you dont have anything to say just shut up, i read a book by Dale Carnage whic says, “no opne kicks a dead dog”, for you to kick HH it means he gives you sleepless nights.

    You are Kicking HH to look important and perhaps to seek attention because HH is a National figure.We will no give you what you want” sense of importance” we deny it to you.

    No one is stopping ypou to run for the high office,dont be a prophet of Doom on your friends, prophesy on your self,say i will never be presdo.

    Jealous is first learned, next develops into a habit you will fail to control.

  112. “Why should Zambians exercise their right to vote?” Why should we vote? Is it really worth our time? The answer is “YES” or NO. People say that one vote won’t change the outcome, but take a look at Rural Voters! Right now, the election of our president is in the people of Rural’s hands. [Your] one vote is very important. That sounds good in an event that there is no rigging. now in today’s case the Vote is never respected, because you don’t know who is messing with your Vote-therefore, this gives credence to the NO! In a Democratic situation it is worth it…in the Zambian case I am honestly not sure!

  113. Pa PF, look at this idiocy??! Even if Chiluba campaigned for RB that is his democratic privilege and right.Who is PF to stop that?Can you imagine such baboons ruling? There can be unprecedented savagery unleashed on the general populace.As somebody pointed out ever since Sata left power we have rested from leaders going to the bank to collect money in a suitcase.We have rested from leaders being assassinated just a day before they testify on the whereabouts of k2bn.We have rested from leaders who arrange for other leaders to be beaten at perty conventions. Ba northern province you have a lot of brilliant guys why force this thug down our throats.Zambia should never be rule by a kaponya

  114. EVEN THE DREADED CHILUBA SAW THAT SAT SHOULD NOT BE ANYWHERE NEAR THE CORRIDORS OF STATE HOUSE ( THAT SAYS A LOT ABOUT THE CALIBRE OF THE PF DICTATOR)

  115. Gentlemen, I was in a meeting and I am a bit behind bushe what happened? you know sometimes I don’t get to know whats up there. Gud guys on blog put me in picture so we flow together in comments. I also like those that add humour to this blog but off course not insults.

  116. Well 55 million plus people do not approve of Obama, have they hurled insults at him or Clinton? Gusy Chiluba is no ordinary zambians he ruled the country for 20 years and he actually is more in touch with people than anyone else. Sata says Chiluba introduced rigging 2 years ago Sata was receiving Chiluba at the airport, what is wrong with that old man napapata nebo

  117. Whether people are bitter or not it is not good enough grounds to hurl insults at people. Kushama ukutuka aba kulu for heavens sake, what do some of those cadres even know about anything besides demanding allowances,and stripping and being unruly? Awe ba PF twanaka nabo!

  118. it is kaponyas who threw stones and got the independence of this country, when you look at the freedom statue, do u see a chap in a tie on a desk with his computer?? if you continue rigging we shall liberate ourselves again ba shinkamanyela

  119. no bo PF this is too much, does it mean the leadership is the same temperament, even if we want to sympathise awe twakana

  120. #164. Anonymous,
    Thanks, thanks! you have summarised the man correctly.
    Highly violent, I wonder whether that is what his cadres call ‘man of action’.

  121. what differenciate as the black africans with the whites is that they are very positive and progressive in thinking and us we are short sighted with a short memory. am not a PF support but i cant forgive Chiluba. What chiluba has done to this country will take years to un do. e.g destroyed one zambia one nation, Housing Crisis. Corruption, rriging of ellection, examas leakages e.tc. and shame on you most of you who are feeling pity for chiluba are poor, and you are feeling pity to this human rat . dont think when you drive a vhicle which was made more than 10 years ago and it is a scrap to your friends and you feel you are ok. chiluba has to pay before he dies so will VJ

  122. Us guys on the copperbelt work very hard. we are at the office by 5:30am. we need a leadership that works just as hard not guys who don’t even have a proper tax policy and have no clear direction. if this MMD government failed to develop the country during a time of high commodity/copper prices what makes anyone think they can do it now when there is a world economic downturn and the sweet copper profits are drying up. Zambians should brace themselves for really tough times. Good luck with your continuity.

  123. The reason Sata is still in politics is just for fun, the man doesn’t play golf, doesn’t have a farm and gave up smoking.. what entertains him is the noise of cadres singing and dancing and the thrill of fighting for the presidency.. for him its like command and conquer

  124. I think people have a lot of learning on the issue of opposition, listen we are not out here looking for sympathy we are here looking for justice and we are going to search for it till we find regardless of what happens…however, violence is not our resolve…

    PF for LIFE!!!!

  125. thats the koponya attitude pipo are talking about! typical of PF(sata)! from another perspective it’s a good lesson to the leaders to never take their subjects for granted coz they are appointed to serve pipoz needs and not their ill desires! who doesnt know about chiluba’s atrositiez? treat me with respect i’l treat you with repact in return! Abash poverty!

  126. Show me a Bember supporting HH or RB genuinely and I will show you are liar. Bembas are the worst tribalists in this country to the extent that they even hate other people’s languages as if only them were created by God. There is no other reason Sata has support wherever there are Bembas like Copperbelt, Lusaka, Luapula and Northernyou ar and in towns. It is simply because he is Bemba otherwise everyone knows Sata has no credentials and mannerisms of being a President. HH beat Sata in Northwestern, Western and Central provinces are those Tongaland. For Bembas, as long as you are not with them or don’t speak their language, you are tribal. This attitude will not take you anywhere.

  127. #167 kwisa it is true zambians forget easily like late LPM once said. Have you forgotten that it was Chiluba at the airport from south africa who openly supported Sata and said “twachula pafula” It is just political prostitution and greedy thats all!

  128. the world is coming to an END,why not look at ourselves so that we can be save when king Jesus comes do not point at finger at any one,remember the lady who was caught in the act of adultery,everyone wanted to stone her but Jesus told them that if among you pipo one has not sinned then get a stone and stone her by the time Jesus finished writing on the ground they was on one left.so look at your self you are a sinner,we are all sinners.clean your hearts fest then you can point at chiluba or anyone you heart
    thank u

  129. Pastor J,
    This is the reason Sata is in politics today:
    He is opposed to the system of society in which we live today, not because he lacks the natural equipment to do for Himself but because he is not satisfied to make himself comfortable knowing that there are thousands of his fellow men who suffer for the barest necessities of life. We were taught under the old ethic that man’s business on this earth was to look out for himself. That was the ethic of the jungle; the ethic of the wild beast….

    wait for my next posting…

  130. Im planning to be a suicide bomber coz thing have gone to the dogs, how can RB be President of Zed of all pipo. i dont know how to acquire bombs, can someone help before i contact Osama Bin Laden. people are welcome to join. lets fight for mother Zambia.

  131. Dont understand those thinking its Sata sending those people. Cant an individual just react and let go??????
    PF has no membership cards so which cadres are you talking about…….? Its the upset Lusaka residents who know that with these rains, their drains will be full and will have to be transported on us Kaponya’s backs because a hopeless govt got millions to corrupt ECZ and OP officials…hence their rehearsing for swearing in mu September.

    Its a pity they were missing to land blows on chiluba…..

  132. …183cont’s

    Take care of yourself, no matter what may become of your fellow man. Thousands of years ago the question was asked; ”Am I my brother’s keeper?” That question has never yet been answered in a way that is satisfactory to civilized society.
    Yes, my brother’s keeper sata can answer. He is under a moral obligation to him that is inspired, not by any maudlin sentimentality but by the higher duty he owes himself. What would you think of him if he were capable of seating himself at a table and gorging himself with food and saw about him the children of fellow beings starving to death?

  133. #181.WELL, THAT WAS IN 2006 WHEN CHILUBA WANTED SATA TO RESCUE HIM FROM HIS COURT CASES AND SATA WAS READY TO FORGIVE HIM AS LONG AS HE HAD HIS (CHILUBA’S) SUPPORT. BUT IN 2001, CHILUBA OPTED FOR MWANAWASA WHEN SATA WAS ALMOST THE ONLY “POTENTIAL ” CANDIADTE AFTER EXPELLING ALL WHO WERE AGAINST THE THIRD TERM WHICH SATA SUPPORTED TO THE BITTER END

  134. chi Rhodesian, lsk and cb are not bemba areas, you are the tribalist, i know many bembas who genuinely support rb and hh, i also know tongas who support sata, dont bring those tribalistic gymnastics on this blog. Zambians are very inter-twined, even genocide cant work here thank God!

  135. #166. If Sata organised all that, even having some shot dead, can someone please do us a favour too? Dead men cause no trouble. Sorry PF supporters.

  136. This is very sad for Zambia. It seems PF hasn’t moved away from the old UNIP, by air policy. These guys are so unruly and yet they are not in power. Can you imagine how untouchable they would be if they were in power? Zambians, is this what we want to go back to? Unruly party cadres? These guys are having a tough time understanding what democracy is. We need new civilized leadership in PF.

  137. #172, that was a different era. We do not have to insult. Violence and insults belong to simple minds. FTJ did his part before he shot over the bar: ended queus for essential commodities, opened up transport sector( so we stopped spending endless days on journey within our country),ended smaggling coz people were now free to do cross border trading, more newspapers came on board, sold manunyamba to many! Lets give him the repsect he deserves.

  138. The lady that was hitting Mwamba on his chest is a mrs.Chibale Mulenga, i know her.She has no respect at all and she can insult in public on top of her voice too.
    Shame PF you are coming to the last breath like a crocodile in the mouth of a Hippo.

    Viva peace and One Zambia One Nation

    H H man of peace

  139. #178. The Spectator!!
    So you mean you are looking for justice by slaping and beating up people? I thought that was injustice you are already practicing. In my view using illegal means to get justice is violation of justice.

  140. #136 Pastor J

    Yes you are right. The best is to pray for God’s will to happen. We know in part, God is all knowing. We may think our preferred candidate should be the president but our knowledge is limited. As human beings we only know what our 5 senses permit. We can’t know what the future holds, or the motives in a heart or what someone will do in future or even when they die. But all knowledge – past, present and future, is in God. So when God says this is okey, it is ok now and forever more. Actually the best is to know the voice of God so that when he speaks, you know that the Lord is speaking to you. After that what matters is you obeying that word. He does not force you to obey.

  141. #62, Just Checking, webo nchinzi cakukopa hena? “ecHi-ecHi” is the man of the moment whether you like it or not.

    Vote for HH for Zambain President in 2011 for a real ray of lightchange and hope that all Zambians can believe and trust in.

  142. Dont get it all wrong folks. We have all the democratic rights to our individual political believes and thats what makes politics interesting. Or do you want to get back to the one party state again?? If your answer is no then respect PF just as you respect yoyr own party. Some of the suspected mischievious PF cadres could be doing it on pretext ask them to show you the voters; card and you will be lucky to get 2 out of 5. The real patriots know what they believe in and what they stand for.

  143. People have been so rude about rural dwellers but it seems that there is a deep respect for everyone even though people may differ. One party stands out as a party of vulgarians and savages so perhaps this is why they will never, ever get into power. The same people who support this party seem to have no idea about physical, natural and spiritual laws. Only undeveloped minds resort to verbal and physical abuse because that is as far as their minds and hearts can go. They need our love and prayers.

  144. 183. The Spectator!!
    You say SATA is moved to be in politics by the fact that many Zambians are suffering and he does not want to be comfortable alone, right?
    Now, is this the reason why SATA fought for the ‘third term’ so that chiluba could continue?

  145. 199 I beg to differ with you your sweeping statement is not fair in a small democracy like zambia. There are so many sane people who stand and believe in the PF and of course others are just gliding along with our popularity. interestingly every party has semingly savage people. PF patriots dont need anyone’s prayers it already blessed by God surely give PF a pat on the back we have given every body a good run for plot 1.

  146. I like HH,unfortunately the more he goes on the less likely it looks like he will ever rule this country. His leadership of UPND is a product of tribal distillation and as such it will be very hard for him to win unless he is the only one on the ticket.Zambia politics move in mysterious ways.Come 2011 I think there will be other young front liners especially from the ruling party and that will bush the HH guy into further oblivion.Very unfortunate indeed but true.He should swallow his pride and admit he is no Mazoka. Actually instead of banding with thugs in PF as some have suggested he is best served by working within the MMD govt at very senior level so we can see his true colors

  147. #203 Can we please have HH as Finance minister in MMD.

    I agree it really does not look like HH will be Zambia’s president. The task of shedding off people’s perception that UPND is tribal is one daunting task he may never overcome. I wish the MMD had allowed the late Mazoka to remain in MMD. He could have made a good Finance Minister or Commerce minister.

    MMD are likely to feature younger people in 2011. I do not think the 74 year old RB will contest the elections in 2011. That would be the end of MMD. He nearly cost them this election.

  148. By the way Obama has already started making appointments, what is our Nyama Soya doing? So nacilala, icililabishi

  149. 206. Sony Ericsson Phiri,
    Which is very good. It means RB is a good leader, because LPM was following MMD policies and programs, which the entire team of leadership including VP were party to. That is what team work means. Of course you dont expect the style of governance to be the same because RB is not LPM. If RB was a kaponya he would throw out everything he finds and would behave like some party presidents who send a representative to ECZ Election Results Centre and tells him air party grievances. But before the representavie does the assignment, the president prepares some other document and goes storm the place behind the rep’s back. Whe his rep is asked to elaborate, he has no idea.

  150. “Ulya na Mayo antuka icine cine. Twachula pa fula!” The difference is that the same people insulting Chiluba today were his political base then. Meaning is simple : THE MAN IS FINISHED POLITICALLY, LIKE NEVERS MUMBA!

  151. IF YOU LOOK AT THE PALPABLE ANGER ON THE C/BELT AND LUSAKA, I CAN PREDICT WITHOUT BEING A PROPHET THAT THERE WILL BE “FOOD” RIOTS IN ZAMBIA SOONER RATHER THAN LATER – BACK TO 1986 AND 1990. IN A COUNTRY WHERE ANGER IS NOT VENTED OUT BY CITIZENS THROUGH PUBLIC DEMONSTRATIONS, IT ALWAYS GETS INTERNALIZED AND THE EXPRESSION OF IT LATER IS ALWAYS EXPLOSIVE!!!!

  152. #153, Away from all these NYAMA SOYA’s, KAFUPI / VJ and the rest of the issues that no people seem to agree on – Happy beff day younglady. What you doing tonite?

  153. “We need similar ideologies. Patriotic Front (PF) President Michael Sata says political parties should only merge if they hold similar political ideologies. Mr. Sata says there is no need for political parties that do not have a similar agenda to come together. He was responding to a question on the need for the opposition parties to merge in a bid to oust the ruling MMD from government. This was during a press briefing in the Zambian capital, Lusaka, Friday. Mr. Sata questioned the credibility of the Zambian electoral system under the current legislation. He also reiterated his party’s plans to petition President Rupiah Banda’s election.” Source: w w w . z n b c . c o . z m. Why ask UPND?

  154. #212. Ka Chiluba
    Lack of education is to blame for such possible happenings. Kaponyas will not understand the economic crisis we are talking about. They will also not understand that prices are always bound to shift upwards because of natural depreciation of our currency. So what would one expect from all the kaponyas who have left their peasant farming in the rural and have come to town do do nothing most of them.

  155. its pay back time for chiluba,this is the same chap who was busy scrueing other pipo’s wives how can he deserve respcet the wife he has was my uncles the man is dieing of depression respect is the last thing he shud expect………

  156. #210 since you have been following MMD policies so well, what is their plan on reducing the 40% unemployment???

  157. #217. Obama/Biden 08,
    First I must correct you that unemployment is not 40%, it is over 70%.
    Now, how will MMD do that? Simple they are already doing it by creating and expanding investment levels. When SATA and Chiluba were in power they destroyed industries which MMD with the new deal govt which has now become the Banda admin are revamping. New mining investments in sothern, Lumwana, CB and now in Luapula underway and Chongwe are coming up. these have and will continue to take up man power. These activities also create supporting industries most of which are for locals, and they too take man power.

  158. Well whatever the matter or whatever u believe in he still deserves to be respected as a former leader.All accusations are still in court only after the court have ruled and charged shall we say he is guilty if the high court still regard him as an accused person until proven guilty who are you to conclude and condemn, ladies and gentlemen they are laws that we need to abide by. We have our courts of law and not you to go insulting surely we have our tradition as well you will just end up commiting an offence that is not expected in a country like Zambia where the whole world believes Man has been placed at the centre hence the peace and stability in our country.So waht if you insult him.

  159. # 53 i dedicate Steve wonder’s happy bthde song to you, and did you know that steve sang it for MARTIN LUTHER KING JNR? And that VJ was ambssador to USSR at 21(never mind his latter behaviour, the man was a genious bt he blew it, sad. i celebrated my 21ST BTHDE at the UNDERGROUND PUB in Ndola, but i advise you dont drink too much if u drink bcoz BIYA is a mocker.

  160. #219 cont’d
    They also have started to expand agriculture which will create employment for many of the rural communities. The produce also creates basis for emerging of food processing industries which will also take up man power in the urban and peri-urban where such industries are being built. Already we have seen a lot of food processing taking place in Zambia. This is the change you can believe in. But SATA advised Chiluba for 10 years to kill everything including farming. He even championed Chiluba’s ‘third term’ so that they could continue to kill the industries.

  161. You see,what goes around comes around!!!!
    210,You seem to know much,but iam sure as you that MMD’s manifesto has gathered dust and now they are in a limbo and thats the reason Nyama Soya insists on following LPM’s vision!!!
    The abuse Nkonde Chilala Kafupi Mpundu Titus Fredrick experienced is really a wake up call to the ECZ stooges who think they are protected by the puppet masters,people are upset and thats the reason they are not afraid to confront eveil,i dont support Sata but these Ecz chaps are to blame for such and really they should repent!!!

  162. PF cadres,help your presido-he’s still in denial so take him for counselling.In the pic on zamnet he looks like one who has had no adequate sleep for some good days so I suggest u give him a jab of phenobarbitol and chloropromazine intraveneuosly.Take care of him coz zambia needs him but not in state house.Politics in zambia would be boring without him but tell him to desist from violence.One day he will be dead,like everyone else,but it will be very unfortunate if he will be remembered for promoting violence.He’s got that record already in the Chawama incidence.How sad.Give him some “olive oil” that RB offered them and let him drink.Its medicinal.

  163. I saw the woman attack the press aide on T.V. She even took off her head dress in the process. I feared she would strip naked like the other PF woman.

  164. 59#I M NOT SURE IF REALLY YOU ARE A MAN OF GOD.I UNDERSTAND PASTOR OR MAN OF GOD ARE THERE TO BRING PEACE ALSO TO INTERCED FOR OTHER PEOPLE I DON’T THINK THE STANDING IN THE GAP TEAM CAN REALLY CURSE A PERSON LIKE THAT BECOZ THE UNDERSTANDING OF SPIRITUALL MATTER IS HIGHER AS THEY TALK TO GOD ALL THE TIME.

    IN FUTURE AS MAN OF GOD LET US PRAY FOR PEOPLE NOT CURSING THEM UNLESS WE BELONG TO THE OTHER KINGDOM WHERE THERE IS NO MERCY.

    I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL MEN OF GOD AND ALL THE PEOPLE PRAYING FOR OUR NATION MAY GOD DOUBLE YOUR TERRITORY.VIVA MOTHER ZAMBIA

  165. You are very right,227.!!!
    Let us also pray that God gives us couragious zambians who will say no to this Day light manipulation.
    Stay Blessed Children of God!!!

  166. Birthday girl you are the only one who has made my day. Are you single? am 56 years old any interest? Am stinking rich and will be the next VP in the sata government

  167. This is a classic problem with Africa! democracy does not mean violation of civil liberties! The police need to pounce hard on these useless thugs! Every Zambian has the right to express and move about their business without fear of intimidation. It should be the duty of the police to arrest anyone who take the law or encourage lawlessness. enough is enough!

    You just need to look across the congo to see what selfish people would do to innocent people. Do we want to go down that route? I don’t think so! The police with the support of clergymen need to sort this mess before it gets out of hand.

  168. #219, the trap we have always fallen into is relying on mining to sustain the economy. I thought we had learnt our lesson from Kaundas days. The key is to have a national strategy of building specific industry competencies that will make Zambia competitive not only in the region but globally as well. We have to pick an industry and say to ourselves we’ll tailor educational programmes to build these competencies in that specific industry.

  169. Wonderful, PF Weldone continue this spirit, Kafupi alitumpa sana, do more harm to kafupi kabolala and all those who rigged the elections

  170. Chiluba will never enjoy respect in Zambia because he did not respect Zambians when he was in power. However, I do not agre with the cadres insulting him publicly. They need to write to him expressing their total and utter disgust at how he mismanaged zambia citing their fate as one example of how he betrayed Zambians. I am sure they have genuine grievances against him. But again, I advised you that SATA was a thug who could not be trusted to be President and thank God Zambians never trusted him. Now, he has resorted to punching them because he cannot reason. What a calamity of mental breakdown ba SATA. You will NEVER be president of Zambia and yet OBAMA has done it in style-EDUCATION power.

  171. Chiluba is reaping what is Sowed.Why is he attending national functions which he never did when LPM was alive?This chap is a crook!!pls i need an update of the condtion of Masebo & Mulongoti?

  173. Imwe mwe bantu!!! You’re insisting on us to respect our leaders- very good and I accept- BUT do leaders respect the people they lead??? the people who gave them power and authority??? Is stealing national resources respecting the nation and the citizens????- I doubt! My logic does not at all permit me to see this as respect. Ba Clergyman, are you receiving a ka brown envelope from leaders??? mmmhh!!! Seemingly nice but horrible and poor language-game- sorry mr. pastor

  174. Ba pastor, if you’re doing this in bad faith, then you should further reflect about your pastorship, sometimes politics isn’t the arena for religion- you know that. people cheat, lie and committ all sorts of things to get there and when they are no longer there they want us to worship them, uko!!!

  175. The fact that a section of the most educated Zambians could vote for PF shocks most of us beyond belief. MMD won hands down. If they didnt then we congratulate our least educated HONEST VILLAGE CITIZENS for saving us from Sata and PF. We pray and thank them day and night. We feel also that GOD had his divine hand in this rescue.
    The blind followers had no inkling that 3 years is too long to allow a “dictator” to rule us. Most Easterners, North Westerners, Southerners, Westerners, would have lost their jobs by now. When this country goes up in flames, they will not be able to prove that they voted for PF. The kaponyas will not distinguish who is who…….

  176. ba “true zambian” (Comment # 240)- you’re really ignorant- sure even in religious matters??? Awe mwe, keep your illogical comments to yourself- You pray to God and at the same time you contradict your belief in God- is it not God who said- we must not judge? are prejudice and judgmental attitudes part and parcel of your faith??? Horrible if so! I’m not a Sata fan, I just responded to clarify your religious logic. If you don’t go to Church just keep God out of your discussion.

  177. Respect is reciprocal and earned. Lets look at Chiluba’s behaviour, the guy does not need to be respected. In 2001 he capaigned for Mwanawasa and we know he helped in rigging the elections. In 2006 he was supporting Sata, recently he was supporting Banda, Zambians wake up, this is a public figure who is like a Kamilioni. He brings himself in the public for scrutiny. His behaviour should change let him keep his small mouth shut and we shall never throw insults at him. Mind you Chiluba has been insulting Zambians by his Kamilioni behaviuor!! As long as he will talk nonsense he will get nonsense. As for the Clergymen/women in Zambia they are highly compromised they are just like ECZ Woh!!

  178. That’s why people from N/western and Western provinces did not vote for sata. They are a step ahead and know sata has no qualities to be a presido. Come 2011 they will still not vote for him, his behavior is not presidential.

  179. Michael Chilufya Sata and his supporters behave like rabid dogs! Zambians are peace loving individuals and we will NEVER allow that thug to rule us. I wonder why LPM even wasted tax payers money to air lift him to RSA when he suffred that heart attack? Sata, nxt time your cigarette infested heart/lungs stop functioning, we’ll send you to UTH since you take Zambian tax payers for granted!
