The MMD in Kasama district has commended President Rupiah Banda for appointing Charles Shawa as Northern Province Minister.
The MMD has also congratulated Mr. Shawa on his new appointment and urged people of the region to fully support him in his work.
This is according to a press statement made available to ZANIS today and signed by MMD Kasama Central Constituency, chairperson Nathan Ilunga.
Mr. Ilunga said the ruling party in the district was delighted with President Banda’s decision to appoint someone from another region to serve as Provincial Minister.
He said the move would help to cement the ‘One Zambia, One nation’ slogan, which cuts across tribal or regional inclination of citizens.
Mr. Ilunga added that the appointment of Mr. Shawa as provincial minister was not a strange thing as Nakonde Member of Parliament, Clever Silavwe, once served in the same capacity in the Eastern Province.
And Mr. Ilunga said the people of Northern Province, and particularly Kasama district, were expecting accelerated development under the leadership of Mr. Shawa.
He observed that the province has lagged behind in development but people were hopeful that the new minister would quickly settle down and address the challenges facing the area.
Mr. Ilunga has since wished Mr. Shawa success in his duties of steering the Northern Province to sustainable development.

Thanks, but no thanks to MMD.
THATS JST ONE OF RB RELATION YAYAMBA FAMILY TREE UPROOTING FROM LPM AND IS NOW WATERING HIS GO GUY GO EFYO IYA PA ZED PAKULYA UYUCHAMPWIKE
Shawa was my music teacher at Libala in Zambia.The man is a bootlicker and he is useless.He likes hero worshopping just like Teta and i feel pity for Zambia because we dont have principled leaders but cadres.imagine dropping Masebo who tried to bring sanity to lusaka and bringing in cadres like Teta to run an important ministry.im an urban planner and i know wat im talking about.
ILLUNGA SHOULD SHUT UP IF HE HAS NOTHING TO SAY, THE FACT THAT HE HIMSELF IS AT PAINS TO JUSTFY THIS APPOINTMENT SHOWS THAT IT IS NOT PROPER, THIS APPOINTMENT IS AN INSULT TO N/PROVINCE.PROVINCES SHOULD BE RUN BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE AT HEART NOT FAMILY TREES.SHAWA WILL NOT BRING ANY DEVELOPMENT TO N/P, AND HE SHOULD BE WARNED THAT WE DON’T WANT ANY CHIMBUYA RETOREIHIC BUT DEVELOPMENT.
Thanking ChiBanda for what? chaba pa menso ukufina!
Its like the blog has come under siege of either kids or ifinangwa with dysfunctional brains impossible to perform logical thought process or have no life for serious undertaking.How is Shawas related to the Banda family? And which party doesn’t survive on membership loyalty? How can a party thrive if it has disloyal members? In the US Joe Libeerman is in trouble for his independence of mind.The DNC is pushing to punish him for not toiling the party line a sign that party loyalty matters in politics.Cut on your jelous because it will leave you stuck in blogging for life without transforming in substantive leadership role.
This time you will feel the weight of other tribe to rule you.Yo trabalism will never take you any where.Mr shawa even if i dont know him properly he is a Zambian just like Kaponya President.Learn to co exisit Zambia is big and dont think you can rule just being in control of Nothern and copperbelt.
# 5 please twapapata that temper is dangerous especially if you are driving. Ukutuka infumu kuichusha yama, just wish that Shrek2 nightmares.
#6 ARE YOU BLIND OR YOU DELIBERATELY REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT WAKO NI WAKO YAYAMBA EVEN IF YOU TOLL THE PARTY LINE YOU ARE A NOBODY IF YOU DONT BOOTLICK ARE YOU THE ONLY ONE WHO DSNT KNOW THAT HEZ A RELATIVE
WHAT DOES A BOOTLICKER MUSIC TEACHER KNOW ABOUT DEVELOPEMENT ISSUES, WE DON’T WANT SLOGAN SHOUTING OR BLIND LOYALTY, WE WANT THOSE WHO CAN DELIVER. WHEN THE WHOLE EASTERN PROVINCE PUT THEIR WAIT BEHIND CHIMONA AS MPEZENI CALLS HIM, ITS NOT SEEN AS TRIBALISM IT’S ONLY TRIBALISM WHEN N/P AND C/B TRY TO BRING IN THEIR OWN ! AND FOR A GOOD REASON, BECAUSE WHAT THEY CAN DO IS ON RECORD, WE ARE SAYING SHAWA CAN BE ANY WHERE BUT LET HIM PERFOM, IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ON RECORD OF WHAT HE DID WHEREVER HE IS COMING FROM TELLS BUT AS OF NOW WHAT WE KNOW OF THE MAN FROM THOSE WHO HIM HE IS A USELESS BOOTLIKER READ #3 above. USA & Zed politics are incomparable!
#10 why attack a man from what you have heard about him from a blogger? who certainly looks very bitter… whose boots did Shawa lick to become headmaster? and later district commissioner and minister for eastern province? just accept that tribalism yasila! kwamana! yata! congratulations RB for not being tribal for showing that you dont have to be chibombamilimo to work in Northern province. Shawa is not dumb he is qualified. And what about C/B bringing in their own? C/B is not bemba land but lamba land.
Ok atleast shawa is better than Chibombamilimo.
ka chibombamilimo nika teacher nakeve ka!
wat are the names of the aids that have be fired at state house?
#14 if you work with a President usually if not all the time you live when he lives. you dont stick around the new guy. the new president comes with his own team it happens everywhere. There is actually no firing most of those guys are Government workers and you cant get fired just like that. so they either retire you or transfer you. Bob Samakai is a good example as well as clement siame acting luapula P/S who worked with Nevers as special assistant
#15 no but they r some who just get fired coz they are just being got from no wre pipo like chipoya??anyway i just wanted to find out coz i saw that in todays post
The tribalism approach is retrogressive to Development. If Shawa is credible and capaple of bringing meaningful Development to that province, where he comes from is irrelevant to the formula of development. Let him work.
Atleast Shawa is better than HH who is still busy dreaming for 2011 HH will never rule this country.
Rupiah drops 3 aides;who r those aides plz u pipo??
is this the Charles Shawa our music teacher? Lord have mercy. This man is a complete yes boss man. Mr Shawa if you are reading this remember your student with an attitude towards your lessons, well that is me
Congratulations Chief Shawa. I know you will develop Northern Province. We are happy for you.
Former Lubo Student
# 18, may be you meant shawa is better than SATA, because shawa has a diploma in dancing (music)while sata has no certificate at all (grade 4 drop out). i equally have doubts if shawa can design developmental projects in northern province if he failed to do that in eastern province. may be we cannot blame him, zambia seem to just be moving in the wildeness. no direction all.
Ma Rubbish.removing Masebo and putting Teta a rural man to handle the cities is totally Ma Rubbish what president is he.Magande removed for want reason the man new what he was Doing, But what type of President is this one we have Ma Rubbish. Very disappointed Citizen.
# 10 what do you know about Chief Shawa. He is a man of his words. Be positive my friend.
The Post Newspaper is so petty & childish.Everyone with a working brain can tell that they are pushing Sata’s agenda.
Thanks again the good Lord intervened & shamed them togather with thier demagogue.
am a bit disappointed with mis placement of cabinet ministers,i thing ba RB can do better,we need people to be appointed on merit,i dont think teta can handle local goverment ministry,with shawa the man has left nothing to talk about in eastern province,let him probably go back to his folk music!
shawa can be anywhere but let him perform beyond singing! teta is one hell of a minister. am one of his neighbours, he has failed to develop his backyard garden. i wonder how he’ll manage the whole country. his place in solwezi looks like a workshop. full of scrap things. he lives in the heart of solwezi yet the roads leads to his house has just been resurfaced with gravel. shame.
Hey you dirty minded chaps stop attacking Chief Shawa, Abemba nia kabwalala mulekeni RB asebenze na Chief Shawa. The only problem with bembas is that they want quick things just look at their FTJ, Fostina Kabwe, Kashiwa Bulaya, Katele Kalumba, Musonda former Zanaco Chief, Xavier Chungu the list is endless. Thank GOD Sata didnt win. In my company I ll never employe these chaps, they are a problem.
hey # 28 stop embarassing yourself, non of the people you have mentioned are bemba,they all come from liverpool(LUAPULA).luapula has no bemba iwe tribalist and pliz leave st micheal sata alone!
The only good thing these election results have shown is how tribal Bembas are!!! They are busy supporting a grade 4 drop out against a man with credible back ground of Economist, diplomat and developmetalist. What a shame! Zambia should no longer be led by illiterates i would even support a close in the constitution to put minimum qualification for Presidence at University Degree level. To avoid Kaponyas ruling the country again as did ka Chiluba who is by the way much better than Chi SATA. Chiliba at least tried to upgrade his qualifications after leaving school at grade 9 level.
.
so what if Shawa was a music teacher…Sata used to scrub trains and some of you thought him worthy of the Presidency! Be consistent and logical.
Mr shawa was my headmaster at Luangwa Boy’s,i know he can perform better jst give him chance bt he is also a human being,he can make some mistakes however he is man who can perform to the expectation of people,wat chief shawa should do to show all the critics to to develop feira.
ALL THE BEST CHIEF SHAWA, YOU ARE THE MAN AND GOD BLESS
#19 ka gelo..the three aids fired are former state house private secrestary Alfred Chipoya,special assistant for project implementation and monitoring -Jack kalala and special assistaant for press and public Relations-John Musukuma.
Mwefumu mwilaba ukutanfya some wicked guy who was involved with the former first lady. I am sure you know him.
Fire that that aid please, before he start helping you also.
Let Chief Shawa rule Bembas now.That is Sata’s stronghold.Rule them Shawa.
IMWE PLEASE LEAVE SHAWA ALONE…HE CAN PERFORM AND DELIVER..JUST GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO
Shawa was a prefect at Chadiza Secondary School and I know he can perform
#39 and I say malabishi
Shawa is supposed to be a musician who released some songs, a while ago? One Zambia, one nation. RB has UNIP mentality. But its good, I think let a bumya preside over those monkey eating Bembas
#40 at least we don’t eat rats
Oh No! Jack Kalala has been fired! Whats this country coming to. Does someone know what they doing. What is RB afraid of. Is this really true? can someone confirm this
You all who are attacking Sata are the ones who are Grade 4.Despite what you are saying about his education the man is a multi millionare with numerous property while you with your degree may be living in a rented house in a shanty compound.Wy has your education done for you – Accept amano ya chifyalilwa please.
Catholic fathers,please do not try to fuel violence.on the copperbelt it was Father Bwalya,today’s post it is Father Mpundu.
The Government is in place,Sata and the catholic fathers should not try to overlook the constitution.Let the judiciary play their part.Why do you always want to do short cuts?
Sata,if he won the elections,next elections could have been in 2013.The catholic fathers did not comment…….
#15 wrote “#14 if you work with a President usually if not all the time you live when he lives.” Presumably you also “die when he dies”, that’s why “you dont stick around the new guy.” Of course that should read “you leave when he leaves”, which is in fact true of most, if not all, presidential aides.
# 40.
Am really offended by your remarks,”those monkey eating Bembas”.
Lets not look down on each other and blog as Zambians and not tribes as this is just going to destroy our lovely country if we keep on looking down on other tribes.
#4 swallow your pride and accept to be led what special attributes do you have not to be led. In case you can’t interpret “One Zambia one Nation” means you can work,settle and marry anywhere in the country hence there is no special tribe.tribalism only reflect backwardness someone is why being proud of things you did not achieve. kindly boost of things like education and wealth (personal achievement)not what God did. you did not select your complexion,colour,sex, tribe,country, parents so why brag about.So let Mr Shawa work and prove his salt.M/while don’t disturb just cooperate
#46, I thought you guys are cousins and are allowed to tease each other. No had feelings, that I think was meant to be a joke. I think Zambia is still one because of this cousinship thing.
17. you are a true Zambian who knows about one Zambia one nation. Let us give Shawa all the support so that he works well. Let us not be tribalistic. Keep it up.
True # 46. Zambians please lets not forget what happened in Rwanda. We don’t want the same to happen here, let’s keep our peace. Remember also that we have so many inter-marriages in Zambia.
Lets avoid tribal talk on this blog.Lets advise positively for the better
Sarah Jones. That does not sound Zambian. Are you a white Northen Rhodesian. Bembas eat monkeys, a fact, how is that offensive?
mc@
you bemba and Tongas RB is you leader bow to the leader
Bonse ni mbushi. Mwalimonapo Minister uwachitapo ifyamano
#6 Easy
While your language sounds a bit crude, on this one iam entirely with you 100%, this site is being overtaken by people with unresearched comments. its important for differnt classes of society to mix but i think a certain class of people can make you dull if you spend too much time taking to them.instead of congratulating an appointment, they are talking about Banda’s face and Hate for a man simply because his surname is Shawa. at first i thought such bloggers were student who are still seaching for there feet but now i think they are shop keepers in diaspora.
#52 yes and easterners eat bush mouse / edible rat (mbeba). I think it’s quite nice. Now tongas I think they eat iguana lizard, not sure, can anyone enlighten me? I never tried monkey… I haven’t had breakfast yet you see so all this talk of food
and shawa is very nice tasting peanuts
I wish someone would give me shawa actually that’s why I looked at this story…
due to hunger
I thought Kasama MMD was saying zikomo na shawa
as in peanuts, quie te appropriate
#46, Im bemba and I dont give a toss what pipo from the east say about bembas, they can call us all sorts of names and say whatever coz they well know that everything is back to the sender. If that is coming from other tribes ha ha ha I take it personal and they wont like it
What of the Famous Darlington Mwape, has he survived.Any LPM always told us he was one of the hard working aides.Can someone tell me, What Ministry is Hon Machila.
#64 Machila is still Lands
#63 london girl
I like that.Look at #41 who is insulting.London girl I like your approach.
#66 I’m not insulting I like mbeba
You have all posted rubbish except for Sony Ericsson!
#68 Beautiful 1 thank you 🙂
Too bad for chipoya hope he had his cake during lpm time
Shawa cannot rule the Bembas at all. bembas have got their own rulers, our chiefs. Shawa is representing Banda not the Bembas for he is too small for that position…But provincial minister has got nothing to do with the Bembas. Just shut up and smell you hussle!!!
Shame on you small and insignificant groupings…having nothing to offer to the nation but noise and insults. Why are you afraid of Bembas?
#67 Sorry.I meant someone else.
#72 no problems fast car
56 Engines, you only congratulate someone for being appointed, and not “congratulate the appoitment”. Research your English ai!!!I don’t blame you though, it depends on who taughtyou English.
ITS REALLY NICE FOR BEMBAS TO BE RULED BY OTHER TRIBES ESPECIALLY A NGONI….YES SIR.YOU WILL C BA VIKAMBA. BAKAWALALA. BEMBAS ARE BOOT LEEEEEKERS.
In today’s Zambia Daily Mail there is a story of a Bemba accountant, Kelvin Chanda Mwamba which starts like “AN ACCOUNTANT ACCUSED OF STEALING K15 MILLION JUMPED OFF A MOVING VEHICLE AND DIVED INTO THE KAFUE RIVER AS HE WAS BEING TAKEN TO CHINGOLA FROM CHILILABOMBWE UNDER POLICE ESCORT.He works for the Francican Missionary and this money was meant for buying ARVs. Let us lobby for Bembas day.
WATCH OUT!SATA IS COMING TO RULE COME 2011. 35,000 VOTES DIFFERENCE WILL NOT BE THERE IN 2011. WE KNOW WHAT MMD DID AND WE SHALL WORK TO MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN.PF SUPPORTERS LET’S START CAMPAINING FOR OUR PARTY NOW BY DECAMPAIGNING THE SHODDY WORKS OF RB AND HIS MMD. VIVA PA BWATOO!
The man used to be my Head Master at Luangwa Boys Secondary school.He brought some good developmet to the school.I hope he still has the same mind
#77. Stop day dreaming. SATA for what go and start campaigning for some one else in PF not the old tired old man. When are we going to be leadership
A BIG UP FOR CHIEF SHAWA
1999 ROOM 1,LUANGWA BOYS SECONDARY SCHOOL.
Chuma chiyenda
wat do these provincial ministers do anyway?wat does a provincial minister do which a provincial Permanent secretary can not do?they jst chow our hard earned taxpayers money.chaps like shawa have outlived their usefulness.they jst strengthen party uselessness at the province at the expense of the poor.
provincial ministers nonsense.wats there to be thankful for.another leech appointed and we are excited.to hell with mmd.
Under SATA, be rest assured, the BOAT will sink again in 2011.We are all used to seeing it sink and we will not get surprised in 2011.So WATCH OUT. SATA IS LOSING AGAIN.
No. 79: Think what you like.It’s yo opinion and you are entitled to it. However, be realistic- SATA single-handedly created the STRONGEST opposition party of the day. He does not go to sleep like Miyanda and he does not go to bed with MMD like UPND- he continuosly performs the role of the opposition and MMD get most of his good ideas. We in PF will give him another chance whether you like it or not.This is also my opinion and I am entitled to it- whether you like it or not.
No 83: One undeniable fact is that SATA has been getting stronger since 2001. It’s like the boat has been rising although still under water!Come 2011, the boat will float. You will see.
Let banda rule bane.
One wonders why in this modern day and age some characters are so deep rooted in tribalism. What a shame. From now on, I will never disclose my tribe to anyone because I may be judged from “tribe perception” instead of my real credentials. My tribe is Zambian
We eat monkey and enjoy it. Nice meat indeed.
Now seriously all those alleged Bembas who cant stand pipo from other tribes should grow up and realise this country is bigger than Ulubemba and Ushi-Lunda-Chishingaland combined. Mwefipuba mwe learn to respect other pipo the way they respect you. If Shawa is a music teacher, so what? Teacher temuntu? Nga imwe bene nimwe banani? Your own Kapwepwe was a teacher, your now venerated KK was a primary school teacher in the bush. What the hell??? The PF life-president is a failed Grade 4 colonial constable but he is your hero. Muleeshako ukutontonkanyako nangu panono fye. I am alive to the fact that thought processes are difficult for many but th
No. 19 and 16 u are a disgrace to ur parents and the morality of zambia u are both in china studying with chipoya’s daughter and u are only commenting about ur friends father because he has been sacked that’s not nice, god punish u, u disgust me, dont be jealous of others for what they have time will catch up with u aswell……….i’m ghost!!!!!!
Imwe which Shawa is this? The one who bleached his skin?
PF is doomed for as long as internal democracy is imposible. No constitution … party business is run by DECREE. It’s such an embarassment to see the so called learned collegues being a part of such nonsense.
Thank God somebody else won.
#88 You have no respect for other tribes!! it seems you fail to understand that Bembas do respect others. Ofcourse, Bembas have got a lot of influence in Zambia. Many Bembas still voted for Banda because they are not tribalistic as you are. You seem to be very inferior in a way you write. Sorry for that I am proud of being a Bemba to death…I cannot change this and I will never be of another tribe. This is what God wants me to be not someone else period. If you want to be called no problem we may allow you to be part of us!!!
To me the appointment is wrong. how is he going to serve the people in his area. His MP for luangwa. From luangwa to northern provice??? How many time will he be going to luangwa in a year? Ok???? Lets appoint and think at the same time guys. Development is a must ku lunagwa. How many of you have been there.
Iwe # 80. you were at LUBOSS???? yabaa!!! ulishani??????? i was there 1986 to 1991. mosi dom 1. Room 1 pamwamba thats were i wrote my last paper and passed!!!!
BA IMWE, 1986-1991, that to me is 6 years? What happened? Closures like our UNZA?
sole ba # 95 it was 1997. that school had no teachers in most subjects but we passed nicely. Running serious things now. God can give!!!!!! most people i was with are driving the economy. Good one!!! Can i name them???………. awe! i have no permission!
#3 Anonymous, which year was that at Libs? Just might have been your classmate.
