Share

United Kingdom Queen Elizabeth has joined other countries in relaying congratulatory messages to President Rupiah Banda on his election victory as fourth republican president of Zambia.

This is according to a statement by British High Commissioner Carolyn Davidson and made available to ZANIS in Lusaka, Saturday .

In her message, the Queen said her government is looking forward to continue the close co-operation and excellent relations existing between Zambia and the United Kingdom.

She said the United Kingdom further looks forward to continued excellent working relationship with government under President Banda’s leadership.

And in his congratulatory message obtianed by ZANIS, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown also congratulated Mr. Banda on being elected republican president.

Mr. Brown said the British government through the signed ten year partnership arrangement in London 2007 was committed to providing an indicative figure of 40 million pounds a year to Zambia.

He added that 50 per cent of the amount will be through Budget Support while Zambia has committed itself to maintaining the policies that have contributed so much to its development in recent years.

Mr. Brown said the significance of the arrangement is the commitment on both sides to a continuing partnership.

He reiterated that the British government is looking forward to supporting Zambia in capitalizing further on the good economic growth, good governance that the country has enjoyed in recent years including the fight against corruption.

Mr. Brown has also expressed about the peace situation in some African countries especially Sudan where Zambian peacekeepers have been active.

He added that the British government shares the desire for greater stability in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) whose peace process was began in Lusaka in 1999.

The British Prime Minister expressed hope that Zambia will continue to play an important role as a member of SADC to find a solution to the Zimbabwean crisis.

Mr. Brown also noted an increase in British investment in Zambia particularly in the fields of finance, agriculture and tourism adding that his government will continue to ensure that the relationship between the two countries continues to prosper.

And Pope Benedict XVI has sent a congratulatory massage to President Rupiah Banda for being elected as Zambia’s fourth Republican president.

In his massage, the Pope said he is pleased to send his cordial greetings and good wishes president Rupiah Banda on his election.

This is contained in a statement issued by Archbishop Apostolic Nunico Nicola Girasoli and made available to ZANIS in Lusaka.

Pope Benedict noted that as president Banda assumes his new responsibilities, the pope has offered his heartfelt prayers to the almighty God that he may assist him in the service of the Nation.

He further said asked God to grant president Rupiah Banda the wisdom, Justice and integrity for the peace and prosperity of all the people of Zambia.

  2. Pope Benedict, many thanks for your kind words and particularly for the heartfelt prayers to the almighty God.
    Thanks also go to Queen Elizabeth, the British government and the many other well wishers.

  3. We are thankful to the Queen and the Pope “aka Godfather” for the nice words. But we have to get down to business and get this country moving.

    malume!

  4. Thanks all for your congrats on President RB Banda. Advise him too to install a very young and energetic Vice President who is in good health. We are currently at risk of having Mr MC Sata as the next Zambian President President which will be retrogressive towards everything if it happens.

  5. I never was for Banda; but I’m for Zambia. RB is finally our republican president, supported him or not. You can take me out of Zambia but can Never take Zambia from my heart. Which means that when it comes to issues pertaining national unity, all of us need support and appreciate such gestures. Twatotela ba Papa na ba Queen. Shukran Jazira!!!

  6. The pope and the Queen are lost leaders.They don’t even know what democracy is.They have no idea of what zambian leadership is. the Queen has always supported dictators.KK was alawys being congratulated by the Queen even when he was wrong and oppressing the people. The leadership of the Pope and the Queen in Afirca is built on divide and rule.Can the pope tell us more about Millingo and the Queen tell us more about princess Diane.Wait and see the leadership of RB. the smailing face you see is not a real one.I LOVE ZAMBIA.

  7. Its very nice to hear good words coming from world figures to appreciate the good polical situation in our country. Keep up the peace mwebena zambia twakana impasase.
    I never voted this time, as I was away but thanks to all my fellow Zambians who did and thank God peace has prevailed again.

  8. #7 n 12 you are rite! Even when KK used to stand competing with a frog the Queen would say elections were free and fair!

  9. Michael Sata is not obligated to respect the opinion of ignorant ordinary mortals such as the Pope and the Queen of England. These individuals are very impressed by the titles which other human beings have conferred on them. Sata has no one to answer to but Sata. Long Live Michael Sata!

  10. 13, 14, 15 & 16 RB is brain dead. he will rely on corruption and cheating. Unless God intervens Zambia is headed for doom.How much support does the Queen give to Zambia.these guys are happy as long as there is someone to oppress a fellow black person.Why did the Queen fail to develop Zambia ? She is hypocritic.

  11. Guys does the Queen even know Zambia held elections? She heard about a certain Obama not Sugar Daddy Banda.

    Well it puts a smile on Africans doesn`t it? The Queen! Aha!

  12. #19 Why should the Queen be developing Zambia? Why?

    To be honest they should not even be giving to Africa. Kuimwena batata.

    Ask yourself why we are not going to hear about those promises from aBanda again. Ask yourself why he is not going to give out motorbikes again. How about giving chiefs Pajeros? You are in America ain`t you? “tool”

    God Bless the Queen!

  13. od save our gracious Queen!
    Long live our noble Queen!
    God save the Queen!
    Send her victorious,
    Happy and glorious,
    Long to reign over us,
    God save the Queen

  14. God save our gracious Queen!
    Long live our noble Queen!
    God save the Queen!
    Send her victorious,
    Happy and glorious,
    Long to reign over us,
    God save the Queen

  15. Thanks MMD for handing power back to a UNIP Stalwart. No wonder KK is dancing. I hope RB will teach MMD a good lesson and bring back some UNIP retirees into system. This is real retrogressive Politics at work.

  16. @#18, Teacher- a person who is not answerable to others is not the sort of person you want running a country. Don’t believe me? Look at how Zimbabwe is being run under Mugabe or how Uganda was run under Amin, among the numerous examples I can cite of leaders who have refused to accept criticism, or listen to their people. A leader must always be accountable to his/ her people, and transparent in all his/ her dealings. That is how a real democracy works. If Sata wants to run as president, he has to answer to his people, and not himself.

  17. Ba Zumba! iyo mwandi! ask Mr Sata to tell us more about Paul Tembo, K2 billion trunk of money for an MMD convention when he was party chief executive, the death of Penza, the death of wezi, the death of Ngenda , the theft of an election from Dean Namulya Mungomba and his fake arrest which led to his death . its surprising that the PF leader knows alot about everything and everyone except issues like the ones above. is it by coincidence?

  18. #28, Walasa Mudala. Its a pity there were lots of mysterious deaths that happened and worse enough they have gone unpunished. Its a pity how people have decided to forget about all those things and decide to embrace wrong people by calling them Messiahs. Thank God they lost. SHAME INDEED!!!!!!!!!

  19. If USA was in Africa , papers would read something like:

    Don’t celebrate yet, McCain tells Obama
    Concede defeat, Obama urges McCain
    20 opposition cadres riot
    McCain Demands Vote Recount
    Elections rigged
    No evidence of manipulation
    The Church declares elections free and fair
    There will be violence if we lose, McCain declares
    Election results for Arizona awaited
    Trucks with suspected ballot papers crosses into USA from Mexico
    McCain is an opportunist – Go back to your farm
    I will not accept results, McCain tells Obama(copyright)

  20. # 32 walasa ! Its amazing what words can do! just a few words by McCain makes a whole lot of difference between Africa and USA.

  21. # 32, 33 yes guys that is what they call civilization and maturity.It is easier to conceed because there is respect of each other from the begining. No power hungry.Being a president is not a means of becoming rich but a service to the nation.

  22. #32 &33 Remember USA is not Zambia and the strength of USA democracy is born out of the power of ideals,liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope. The voices of people in USA are heard through votes and in many cases that make democracy strong.In Zambia it is a different scenario all together, The voices of the people are not heard when even they want change. Rigging denies people’s choices. I believe the peace that we enjoy, cherish and love in Zambia is born out of respect for one another and believing we are all one and Zambia belongs to 73 tribes. If the peace is taken for granted, it is inevitable chaos and hatred will breed amongst our people. The reason for this will be due to Organs

  23. #36….by the way I am not saying Zambia is USA. Just got interested in that piece and I have acknowlegded it is copyright. No big deal. You are ABSOLUTELY right. We can’t compare. I am still leaking the wounds.

  24. Contd: ECZ, ACC, police and the army for intimidating and denying people the rights to express their feelings through non violence acts. ECZ in it current form is totally toothless and lacks creditibility to inspire people to take up voting as their right. The intimidation by police and the Army is cant be accepted. Intimidation will not destroy the the spirit of Zambians. Political leaders must respect the will of the people and not rig the elections. Also those who have lost on merits should accept the outcome. ‘All the flowers of the tomorrows are in the seeds of today.’ The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convinience but where he stands at times

  25. #39 what is happening now is in Zambia regarding the election out come and not the whole continent is having the same scenario.

  26. Pafwenamwine, I can read between lines your disapproval of the current trend. I agree with you. I am equally disgusted with what just transpired. As I said I am still leaking the wounds. We are

  27. cont’d..we are still far from having a true democracy. Those in power have absolute power, able to direct the flow of the elections.

  28. Apart from a few countries such as South Africa, Botswana, Namibia i dont know of Mozambique the opposition always cry foul after an election. you wonder whether its rigging or saving face.

  29. It is reported from Zambia that an Ocean Liner carrying more than 618000 from Lusaka, Copperbelt, Northern and Luapula provinces disappeared and sunk in the small streams of Western Province a week ago. Eye witnesses said the cause of the accident was not immediately known but that an invetigation has been launched to determine what really caused the accident. The people have therefore, been warned to be calm until all investigations are exhausted.

  30. #5. helloooo,
    Do you expect the POPE to exercise denominational devide?
    I can see that if you were ever going to be a president of a country you would exhibit a lot of nepotistic behaviour

  31. #18. The Teacher,
    I can assure you that even if Sata decides not to respect the Pope and the queen, they will both not lose anything. Sata’s respect for them equally does not benefit them anything. It’s not like the Pope and the queen are sitting in europe depressed because Sata has not respected them, No! For your own information they may not even be aware that Sata has reduced his hours of sleep in persuit for vote verification. In fact when they come learn about his persuit for vote recount, they will just conclude that he is doing all this because of lack of proper social amenities and entertainment in Lusaka.

  32. Aba na beve bafuna chabe vo chita chita… On which grounds are they congraturating me? Did they notice the rush for the inauguration ceremony???

  33. A lot of you guys always have something NEGATIVE to say about EVERYTHING! If your life is so bitter, seek therapy and stop being such irritating grouches. You’re the reason a lot of bloggers don’t even bother to voice their opinions because someone will use the most useless of facts to negate them! Just say THANKYOU, for your kind wishes, but lets get down to business. The POPE doesn’t owe you JACK.

  34. The queen is useless and the pope should marry like Milingo. Congratulating Banda is pure folly, for what? rigging and sleepy dullness. RUPIAH BANDA IS LIKE A BLIND MAN WALKING ON A RAIL LINE SERVICING A BULLET TRAIN

  35. 52. Pa zed,
    The Pop and the queen have seen what you can’t see. That is the difference btn you and them. They congratulated RB because he won the just ended elections. Did you want them to congratulate someone else instead of the one who won? And the issue of riiging is just a state of mind in the minds of suspicious people. This illusion normally comes to people who lose elections. It is an african nutural response to a loss of elections. Otherwise the word rigging does not apply in reality, that is why if you ask anyone who claims there is some rigging they will not show you any evidence. It actually has become the african way of handling the feeling of election loss.

  36. I hope they cngratulate wen a military junta takes place..and hope they knw why their rb didnt travel ths wknd.nt jst cngratulating things tht are nt evn fair and square.

  37. This blog has gone to the dogs. Maybe its the dogs that have come to the blog. How do sane pipo scrumble to be the first and post a number as a contribution. I dont want to be party to the cader of useless bloggers whose prime occupation is scrumbling for first position. Seems they never got first position at sch and they seek consolation when they post first here. Shame on you mates. You are wasting our time. I would rather watch paint dry then post a blog here. Till sanity returns, am out of here!!

  38. PF people you are entitled to your opinions. What I disagree with is allegations of rigging when you have no evidence. Where is the evidence? If MMD had done well in Lusaka and Copperbelt then we all would have smelt a rat. The problem is that your mad leader Sata did not state clearly what he was going to do for the rural populace and concentrated on preaching to the converted. In addition, he stated playing the rigging card well before the election took place and precipitated a stated of paranoia in which vehicles on their normal business were stopped unlawfully by his cadres to check for phantom ballot papers.

  39. Exactly 40 years this 2008, Martin Luther King dreamed that a young Afro American man will rule the United States Americano.It has happened.

    You see now even the influential whites and leaders are appreciating our winning presido for Zed RB72.Then chi Sata and his nacked locals both girls and boys, men and women are still crying for the loss and strip on the streets of zed.Get a young man or lady to manage PF.

    Viva H H go go forward.

  40. I will never congratulate RB. Only foreigners like OLD Queen and OLD pop should do that. I don’t like RB Sorry Bane.

  41. Hope sum of u cn c tht ur HH has no chance watso eva of ruling zed..u even cmpare hm to obama!wat a pity,on wat grounds?age…thts a non starter comparison parameter..

  42. Zambia can only create employment if there is a national economic strategy that will improve Zambia’s competitiveness. Many Zambians are now entepreneurs, but this has to be supported by science,technolgy and innovation. Govt has to spend money on R&D just like advanced countries do.For research to make sense we need scientists. This means that our higher institutions have to become stronger in equipping students with highly advanced skills. These are the guys who will work with entpreneurs in making inventions commercial products and supply the mines instead of everyone thinking of working for the mines or goning to SA to buy goods to supply. So Govt has to improve schools and universities

  43. #54. Georgia Russia,
    A pact between PF and UPND has more disadvantages than advantages.
    Do not think that if HH and SATA had formed a pact their candidate’s total vote would have been the sum of the individual votes each got in the ended elections. You need to understand that factors affect vote patterns do not follow a straight line. If the pact chose SATA as president most of HH’s supporters would have backed out and supported RB as a better alternative. In a similar way, if HH was the candidate of the pact many of SATA’s supporters would have switched to RB as an alternative. This would be more serious especially in their respective rural strongholds. Mark my words!

  44. Most of you don’t know what you are talking about. There are two types of refugees. We have people that came in 1970s and others that came in the late 90 and early 2000. Are you people that are suggesting that they stay also include those who came in the late 90s and early 2000? I don’t agree with that view. The majority of the refugees came into Zambia from Angola at the height of the Angolan war in early 2000, I don’t think such groups should be given citizenship. That is where people are misleading the refugees because some are trying to apply the same rules to old and new refugess. The recent refugees should go back while the old ones should be dealt with on a case by case basis!!

  45. It is no wonder that the MMD picks ‘winning’ particularly in western and north western province because the gov’t keeps mileading the refugees by giving them NRCs and voters cards to participate in our elections when they are not entitled to vote since they are not citizens of Zambia but mere refugees seeking protection and shelter from the Zambian gov’t. In my view, this is were the rigging is coming from and this issue needs to be dealt with. We can’t give citizenship to over 500,000 people who came to seek shelter during the war in Angola because: 1) the War is over 2)Angola is rich and is at least 3 times bigger than Zambia 3) the majority of the refugees have been in Zambia since 2000!!

  46. There needs to be an honest and open debate about the refugees in western province, basides where are all these people going to be stationed? Violent crime is high in western and north western province because of the many former rebels wondering about in our country. If Angola can afford to host a continental competition in 2010, I don’t see how they can fail to look after 500,000 of their own citizens. We know we have some that have been in the country for over 20 or 30 years but these are different to those who came only in the late 90s and 2000 and the constitute the majority of refugees in the country. I believe such people should be sent back to Angola to be part of the new Angola!!

  47. I think the term ‘rigging’ is the newly adopted word for conceiting defeat by african losing candidates. This word ‘rigging’ is very popular among african losing candidates. I must come up with a book entitle:

    “Rigging – Reality or Illusion, Can Someone Prove?”.

    Written by fine!

    Distributed by Democtratic Ltd.

    Zambia.

  48. The Zambian gov’t and some politician linked to these refugees must stop promoting the idea that the Angolan refugees should stay and be given citizenship as though there is some great big sea that stops the Angolans from going back to their country. Just like the walked into Zambia they should walk back if they can or the United Nations (UN) should help them to relocate back to their homelands. Zambia was not involved in the Angolan war in any shape or form and therefore the burden must not be left on the Zambian people to deal with this issue. The Zambian gov’t must also take into consideration of the effects of such a policy on the hosting communities in Zambia who host these refugees!!

  49. #68 Are you saying that giving NRCs and Voters cards to refugees is not election rigging? Don’t forget that elections are always about numbers and the gov’t has been using the high refugee numbers of at least 500,000 to win elections in rural Zambia particularly in western and some parts of north western provinces. Let us not simplify complex issues. The first thing to do is send back ALL recent refugees then registered voters in western and north western should be checked to ensure that the list does not contain refugees then you can start talking about free and fair elections. These refugees are not Zambians but we want to be letting them determine our politics which is wrong,Let them go!

  50. Only an MMD wil refuse tht they rigged using th refugees,reliable info came frm pipo on th ground in tht part of country,.it wil b a regime of misfortune.

  51. #71. Off Topic Comment,
    Then I can write another book on refugees and rigging entitled:

    “Refugees Given NRC to help Rig – Reality or Illusion, Can Someone Prove?”.

  52. #72. Gridlock..:-S,
    “information came from pipo on the ground”, interesting!
    Are these the same people on the ground who brought information that 2 trucks from South Africa were carrying ballot papers meant for rigging and caused a lot of anxiety to the nation?

  53. I have also joined Queen Elizabeth, the pope, Gordon Brown, Michael Sata, HH, Miyanda and other countries in congratulating RB for being elected as zambia’s fourth president………..

  54. Whatever mwe!!!
    The govt doesn’t even use the money given to them according to the agreement with Britain or whichever party involved. They put quater to use the three quaters into their pockets what a shame!!!!!

  55. #74 nt tht useles info of th trucks mwana..Rb’s cmpagn manager in western province was a forma security chief,and u shud knw tht nt evry1 is in comformity wth the hapenins,and thts hw info leaks..4 me as far as im concernd,it was a rigged elections..no wnda th army
    Is nt hapi wth th hapenins.

  56. #74 This issue has given been debated in the National Assembly many times by MPs. It is not something that is new, however, it is a real problem that needs to be dealt with. If you are a real writer and not some miguided cadre then you can go to western province and find out the information for yourself. You will be amazed at what you will find. If our people had a way in which their voices could be heard, this issue would have been dealt with but our gov’t chooses not to act because the entire issues is working for the MMD administration because these are the only regions that have kept MMD in gov’t. If we want to see a future of free and fair elections then the issue of refugees end.

  57. #77. Gridlock..:-S
    Ha, ha, ha!
    Suspicion can be very exciting, in fact it is responsible for most of the kachepa you hear in offices and compounds. It is not too much in mayadi areas.

  58. #79 fine
    Seems u run away frm reality and decide to embrace u thots only..b real,u cnt even read the simplest of situations o moods,i hope wen u write those books,they wont be fantasy books,bt factual ones..

  59. I wish RB was not the president.But he is and that is why he is being cong,ted by the queen and ba shikofu.The severity of arrogancy on the part of PFandUPND HAS LEFT THEM VULNERABLE AGAIN .IF u remember very prior to elections the message that was on all right thinking zambians was a merger.BUT SI VINAMVELE .Shame on these selfish POLYTIXIANS

  60. Ej i agree with you totally there some names on this block who are permanent negatives! its like they have a quarrel with the whole world! they even go to an extent of insulting the innocent pope and queen who have just made their logical diplomatic initiative to congratulate RB. they need a therapist and abit of education. Just the fact that one fellow is not happy with election results does not stop the world from going round! The only positive some people have said on this blog is shouting Pabwaaaaaaaaato. My guess is that they may not even know the PF manifesto!

  61. THE Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) and the Council of Churches in Zambia (CCZ) have said that the just-ended presidential election was transparent and peaceful.

    LAZ president Elijah Banda speaking at a news briefing in Lusaka yesterday said the new system of publishing election results at the polling stations on documents bearing the signatures of party agents, monitors and observers enhanced the credibility of the election process.

    And in a separate statement issued yesterday, the CCZ commended the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) for administering the elections professionally under difficult circumstances.

    (Source : Sunday Mail)

  62. Continued:

    And the CCZ, in a joint statement by general secretary, Reverend Suzanne Matale and Reverend Lucas Mwale, commended ECZ chairperson Justice Florence Mumba for administering the elections professionally.
    They ruled out irregularities in the transmission of election results from the districts to ECZ.

    “CCZ did not notice any irregularities in the transmission of results from the districts to the Electoral Commission of Zambia national result centre in the polling stations they monitored,” the statement reads in part.

    The church mother body said the counting of votes at polling stations where they monitored was transparent, peaceful and incident-free.

  63. You OFF TOPIC COMMENT indeed you are off topic comment! U can continue masturbating with your rigging theory through refugees theory! Do you mean HH also rigged in Western and Northwestern? please check the number of people who voted in those two provinces you are talking about.RB and HH were having numbers in there.What about your SATANA and his votes what can you say??? he also had refugee votes????

  65. The Queen didn’t even see that letter, its a copy which is sent to any former british colony when they have a new president, do even smile they just changed the heading!

  66. I thought this site was for comments and not insults, and more also not a chat line for the those who want to tell off others. To be frank my fellow Zambians how many times has Sata attempted presidency? Honestly, cant he see that he is not popular? To be fair to him, give him another chance to run for the same post in 3 yrs time. No potential ba chilufya, people dont know what KABOVA Sata is. Moreover na health seems compromised already, state funerals are very expensive bane.Pf should infact choose someone vibrant to organise the party that can go through in the next election.

  67. #And to be frank fellow zambians PF must go for a convention. why should we allow someone with no respect for democracy to rule us? we will be taking the country 20 years backwards to one party state. If he cant respect democracy in his party what makes you think he will reform when he gets the presidency? We must speak emphatically against dictatorship and people who want to undermine our achievements.

  68. We are all called to prayer for our leaders so that they rule us in accordance to the will of God. May God bless Zambia.

  69. The queen is in order to congratulate RB. Afterall RB was Zambia’s High Comissioner to the UK. As for Sata the queen does not no him since he was just a sweeper at victorial Station.

  70. Why is it that born agains insult leaders of other churches (eg the pope) without impunity and yet they are the first one to protect the immorarity of their sinful pastors; telling anybody who dares to question the sin being publicly displayed by their so called men of God “IF YOU INSULT A MAN OF GOD YOU WILL PERISH”. Is this a case of double-standards, hypocricy or brain-washing? Long live the Pope. Abash capitalists who steal from the poor using the name of God

  71. 102 SPECTATOR
    I am worried with your sycophancy of PF. Even when you have lost you are living in denial and have become delusional……

    It will not be long before you start standing stark naked in public as protest.

  72. Bakabulala stop arguing. Sata is better than Rooten pwazani Banda. And for HH he can only be a good servant and not president wake up Zambians. Am Tonga by trube and never trust us.

  73. No. 5: The Pope is a head of state of the Vatican and he always sends messages of congratulations to other heads of state on joining that club of leaders. Banda, therefore, need not be Catholic to be congratulated by the Pope. It is protocol. In actual fact the message is drafted by the pronucial in Lusaka [next door to RBBanda’s residence] sent to Rome and re-transmitted back to Lusaka!

  74. HH is a loser in this election. He has lost his last chance to rule Zambia. Whoever advised him not to go for a pact with PF clearly defined his path to the dustbin of Zambian Politics. He lost a chance to sell his party all over Zambia.
    To PF the old man has tried his best. We all know is was a winner in this election abeit the dirty tactics of MMD. He should try to identify a possible vibrant young man to take over from him. Lubinda would be the best bait for me.

  75. RB SLEEPS AROUND TOO MUCH I HOPE HE WON’T EMBARASS US ALL. RB NO MORE SMALL GIRLS PLEASE! YOU R NOW THE HEAD OF STATE AND WE RESPECT THAT BUT WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ALL THOSE COUNORS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TO. THE LIST IS TOO LONG. DO NOT, DO NOT BE THE NEXT BILL CLINTON. WE ALL KNOW WHAT AFRICA LEADERS ARE CAPABLE OF LIKE KA SHI CASTRO TAKE SOMEONE ELS’S WIFE YOU WILL GET WHATS COMING TO YOU.
    NATION DEVELOPMENT NOT PAUSING AROUND FOR CAMERAS WITH AN ANTOURAGE OF 1000 GOV’ OOFICIALS.

  76. #14, I completely agree with you. In fact he has already shocked the world with his completely outstanding FACE. There is no face like that on this planet.

  77. So RB is known by both the Qeuun and Pope, ehe-he-he. Go X, Go X, dance your good old dance, AYOYOYO!AYO ,AYO AYOYOYO!

    Only if they knew who you are they would not get involved.

  78. Congrates from the Pope and Queen!!! Lets not waste time the world we live in is a theatre a performing stage. The two would congratulate anyone who becomes a president. Nikuvina Mwamene Wayimvelela. There is really nothing special about their congrates to Banda they are merely doing what other world leaders are doing.Nikuvina Mwamene Wayimvelela. So really no one needs to be excited. These guys congratlated IDI AMIN if not HILTER waa!!

  79. PF supporters stop blaming HH for Sata’s clear loss,but blame yourself for Poor Finishing and The post for publicly support Sata which raised many people’s eyebows!!!!!!!.Meanwhile Sata will never rule this country again.On the other hand HH is still young can contend in 2011,2016 even 2022,who knows God can open our eyes & elect on merit once and for all.

  80. Eyi, #116, are you still in misery. Snap out of it, we are now celebrating the success of our honourable sleeping lizard RB, the Pope and the Queen know our great Monsterous Face Man. So come on join the party!

    Ignore the starvation of children in Choma who have abandoned school because RB will wake up eventually and do something after their death. JUST JOIN THE PARTY MATE!
