Meali meal prices shoot up in Solwezi

Share

The price of mealie meal in some retail shops in Solwezi has been increased.

A check by ZANIS in the Township revealed that a 25kg bag of breakfast mealie meal has gone up from K65,000 to K68,000 at Antelope and Mwamba Family Shops, while at another retail outlet the commodity was being sold at K70,000.

The price of a 25kg bag of roller melie meal is ranging from K50,000 to K57,000 in some shops.

According to some traders talked to, the price of mealie meal was increased by the millers where they buy the commodity from.

Meanwhile the susponsion of sale of maize by FRA to the local community in Solwezi still stnds until all measures to restrict the commodity from being sold outside the country were put in place.

Provincial Agriculture Co-coordinator, Charles Sondashi, confirmed that the sale of the maize was still suspended because some traders, who were given the opportunity to purchase the maize in bulk, had taken it to Kipushi boarder post for reselling at a higher price.

Mr. Sondashi mentioned that Zambians were struggling to produce food for citizens and there was no way some selfish people would take it to feed outsiders.

Mr. Sondoshi stressed that the selling of maize by the FRA would commerce as soon as all measurres were put in place with the stakeholders.

  1. ya’ll QUIT Complaining Finance is a global Prob @ now, meali meal jus got sliced to k45000, stop relying on the central government to feed U. trying solving this mess in yo communities instead of wasting time waiting for sata or Rb.

  2. Thank God the rebel Mps have lost their case, its time now for PF to carefully choose their replacements not ba Kaponya e.g the MP for Chifubu in Ndola.

    As for the Solwezians, serves them right?

    I just read somewhere that President RB Banda is now ready to go on holiday because Mealie-Meal prices had been reduced. How about this prices increase development in Solwezi?

  4. It is sad that price of mealie meal has continued to rise. I feel that this problem is not as a result of RB being president- this problem could have been there if Sata or HH won. I think as a nation we need to look at other cheaper alternative starch foods like cassava and millet

  5. “HH gives RB Business tips
    The UPND has proposed a set of short and long term measures to help cushion the impact of rising commodity prices and the global financial crisis.”

    This is what real men do instead of behaving like boys who make noise like gongs.

    Mumbwans continue voting for president HH so that he can mitigate your troubles starting at the end of 2011, by God’s grace. Vote for serious =; for Zambia in 2011, unlike NOISY GONG’A GONGS who shout without offering tangible solutions.

  6. #17.UNDERTAKER, the challenges Zambia and Zambians are facings are due to the LEADERSHIP OF PRESIDENT RB BANDA WHICH IS NOT TRUSTED BY OUR COOPERATING PARTNER STAKHOLDERS.
    The issue of corruption and offering a blind eye to corrupt practices during the just ended Presidential by-elections has left a denting image on Zambia and some Zambians.
    On your ‘this problem could have been there if Sata or HH won,’ I believe it holds correct in the case where the Undereducate would have won but not if president Hakainde Hichilema won because of his integrity. In fact, the situation would have been WORSE had the Undereducate, ba-Shikulu MC Sata, won than what we are seeing with our President.

  7. RB is a very hopeless old man. He cant even be ashamed of himself. How can aresponsible parent say because I have bought food (without paying school fee, rentals and other essetials)I can go for holliday because thats what everyone does. This man i still no ready to rule. He needs a bit of pressure from the public may be he will be serious.

  8. Iwe Chi Maestro Hatombwe.Sata has been teling the government what to do,but they dont just listen.Why cant you just talk about your HH without mentioning Sata. You dull tonga chap.You lie that you are a Christian but your heart,is full of hatrated.And who are you informing about HH.You think you are the only one who knows what is happening in Zambia.We all know,we chinangwa! You have so much hatred for Sata!

  9. #17 UNDERTAKER I totally disagree with you on yo statement that the problems our country is facing could have been there had SATA or anybody else won the elections. What you should know is that these guys misappropriated alot of money before and during the elections so what they are doing now is making up by hiking prices of essentials like mealie meal. Wake up and stop yapping. you are the people who are drawing yamaga backwards!

  10. #22, leave Maestro alone. No one hates Sata but to be honest, most Zambians don’t think he is presidential material. He talks too much rubbish which we know he can never do. I am one of those who feel SATA is a very dictatorial old fashioned and bad mannered adult in politics. So there is no hatred but only facts as we see them.

  11. 22. Anonymous, you are a coward. I hope you are not Chewe who was behaving like this, changing his name to ‘Anonymous’, yesterday. In fact, you are the one Chewe and this your behaviour reflects what your Undereducate (probably relative since you mentioned you are ready to die on him’s case) has been doing by running away from reality from the Colonial Government to UNIP, from UNIP to MMD led by Chiluba whom he campaigned for a 3rd term which we thwarted as UNZA students, and lastly from MMD to his Poor Finishing PF – a typical behaviour of a chameleon.
    Come out of hibernation and be a responsible person Chewe instead of hiding behind ‘Anonymous’ as your username on LT.

  12. #20 I agree with you for saying that if Sata had won the problems Zambia is facing could have been worse. The smell of the talk of Sata is poisonus to investors. #23 what is the conection between goverment misusing money and the price of mealie meal going up?

  13. You even had the audacity to write “You think you are the only one who knows what is happening in Zambia.We all know,we chinangwa! You have so much hatred for Sata!”

    Who said or wrote that I have monopoly of NEWS from Zambia? You insult me with “we chinangwa” phrase, but you are joking for I dont insult since I come from a HOME, where I was brought up with manners, unlike you who appears to come from a house – a mere building or set of buildings – which had little family values. Stop being a coward and be a gentlemen.

    You accuse me of “so much hatred for Sata” whom I actually LOVE by giving him advice such as the Undereducate Sata having to register for Grade 7 exams slated for 2009.

  14. 24. The Real Deal, thanks for your well put points on “#22, leave Maestro alone. No one hates Sata but to be honest, most Zambians don’t think he is presidential material. He talks too much rubbish which we know he can never do. I am one of those who feel SATA is a very dictatorial old fashioned and bad mannered adult in politics. So there is no hatred but only facts as we see them.”
    I use facts to show what the Undereducate needs to do since I am tryong to be his real positive Imagebuilder on here. The Undereducate, Sata, is my Shikulu and I love him very much. All the Undereducate needs to do is to take my advice to him seriously instead of listening people like the uncouth Chewe.

  15. #22 ANONYMOUS. YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME ON maestro. HIM THINKS WHEN SATA BECOMES PRESIDENT HE WILL BE ALONE IN THE GOVT. SATA IS SURROUNDED BY A LOT OF HIGHLY EDUCATED AND EXPERIENCED MEN AND WOMEN. WE ARE NOT TALKINH ABOUT THE VJs OF ZAMBIA. IN FACT PEOPLE WHO BRING ABOUT REAL POSITIVE REVOLUTIONS AIN’T EVEN THAT EDUCATED. THEY ONLY HAVE REAL VISION AND INTEREST FOR THE PEOPLE JUST LIKE SATA HAS. HIS TRACK RECORD CAN PROVE IT. PEOPLE ARE JUST SCARED BECAUSE HE IS THE REAL THING FOR ZAMBIA. 2011 IS VERY NEAR. JUST WAIT AND SEE. I AM SURE VILLAGERS HAVE LEARNT A LESSON. BY THE WAY WHERE’S SONDASHI WHO PROMISED TO BEATUP ANYONE WHO WAS GOING TO MENTION THE NAME OF SATA?

  16. We wil leave Maestro Hatombwe alone. If he leaves Sata alone.Period,and dont insult most of us who voted for sata.Look at the number of educated people who have been voting for Sata.Its a big figure cant even be compared to HH,s. So dont insult Zambians when you say,most of them dont think that Sata is presidential material.That is your shallow opinion.you frustrated creature,who dont think.we chipuba we.Tell Maestro to leave Sata alone,then i wil have nothing to do with useless creatures like him.But if he continues,he wil see.we are talking about mealie prices here,but his demons of hatred tells him to diverty.what sort of a person is he. ulisondokede!

  17. 29. Thando, good points my friedn but you also he! On your “THEY ONLY HAVE REAL VISION AND INTEREST FOR THE PEOPLE JUST LIKE SATA HAS. HIS TRACK RECORD CAN PROVE IT,” what TRACK RECORD proof was in Micheal C. Sata’s advocating for Chiluba’s 3rd Term of office. Was’nt the Undereducate trying to undermine our Zambian Republican Constitution? Ok, Let us take it that the Undereducate didn’t know what he was doing then in 2011, but consider his this year’s comment that there will be no presidential election in 2011 if he/anyone-esle wins as Zambian President. Wasn’t this another indicator of the Undereducate’s lack of education and his more willingness to ra pe the Z. Republican Constitution?

  18. #31, I will not argue with because from your shallow analysis people may differentiate who is more enlightened and realistic between us. Sata should just shut up and start working on his farm because that is what civilised adults who have failed in politics do.

  19. 31. Chewe, thanks Chewe for coming out of your hibernation and your rants too. Your insults like “ulisondokede” will not move me an inch. Only the devil and demons as your wrote in “his demons of hatred” use such to disturb God’s people.
    However, I have fought too many battles against the devil and his angels and such insulting nonsense will not change my mood or way of doing things.
    Remember that your are denting your fellow Bembas’s image with your name full of insults. Have you ever seen an insult from a Tonga like president HH or me?
    We come from homes where we learnt valuing of fellow human beings not that trash you are showing us all world Citizens about your upbringing Chewe.

  20. 33. The Real Deal, good points there. This youngman Chewe needs our prayers before we lose him. I do not take pride in seeing Zambians who dent my Country’s image with the behaviour and way of life this Chewe has taken.

    I am thus appealing to all prayer warriors on LT to please remember in include Chewe to change bahaviour in your prayers to the good Lord God eace and every time you pray until we all see a significant change in the way the young man bloggs. Thank you all in advance.

  21. Sorry HH is going no where. No matter what you say about him. So the educated brace for the undereducated to rule you in 2011.

  22. I really dont understand why some people have alot of faith in SATA. The man is a real lunatic.Anyway I am not suprised,Lunatics like Sata – the type of David Koresh and Robert Mugabe-are never short of supporters. =))

  23. Maestro Hatombwe,wether you like it or not. No matter how you open your stinking beak.you wil never achieve what Sata has achieved. He is very much comfortable in life. Am now convinced that you are a tribalist. No wonder leaders of other tribes have been runing away from upnd. Explain to me where HH took 900 cattle meant for campaigns. Poor people sacrificed but where did he take the cattle. You open your big mouth like a hippo,and you say 2011. Who is going to vote for your HH?yourself and other tribalists in southern province.Even if i wanted to vote for him,because of a tonga tribalist like you,i wil never ever do it.Nshinchinko iwe.

  24. 38. Chewe, self-deceived characters of your nature need prayer only and not reasoning for your capacity to think leaves much to be desired.
    You wrote “Maestro Hatombwe,wether you like it or not. No matter how you open your stinking beak.you wil never achieve what Sata has achieved.” What has Sata achieved better than what I have so far. The Undereducate was a cleaner at a Londaon train Station, I have never been one of that sort. The Undereducate is a Grade 4 – 6 school drop out, I have done 4 degrees from well respected world universities. The Undereducate is bent on lies, I use facts to defend my points. The list is endless and surely what pride is in the life of the Undereducate?

  25. 38. Chewe, you wrote ” Am now convinced that you are a tribalist. No wonder leaders of other tribes have been runing away from upnd.”

    You accuse me of being a tribalist, well and good for I respect your OPINION. What matters to me is how the good Lord God looks at me and not some self-in-denial youngman Chewe thinks.

    You write about “No wonder leaders of other tribes have been runing away from upnd,” but am i a UPND member? Why do you like to accuse people of what they are not? Also, what if other tribes run away anyway? Who was/has-been busy asking the UPND to join PF? I am appalled by your ignorance Chewe or is it self-denial?

  26. Big nose ali mu bush na ka sweet sixteen >:)=p~
    Out of touch with reality.
    The mines are closing, mealie meal is up, the economy is dsintergreting and all you can do is go and take a vacation.
    Thank you rural voters.

  27. 38. Chewe, you wrote “Explain to me where HH took 900 cattle meant for campaigns. Poor people sacrificed but where did he take the cattle.”

    Why must I explain to you – a thick headed slow learner unwilling to accept truth before his eyes? I can obnly direct you to the Zambia Police offices to file a criminal case on president Hakainde Hichilema if you care that much instead of accusing such a noble man without any evidence.

  28. I like Michael Chilufya “David Koresh” Sata when he is working under the supervision of someone. The man is truly a hardworker. But as a President? It is like giving a blind man to drive a bus loaded with passengers.It is a pity that some people can board such a bus =))

  29. 38. Chewe, you wrote “You open your big mouth like a hippo,and you say 2011. Who is going to vote for your HH?”

    Thanks Chewe, and you will see those who will vote for the man of the moment president HH when that time comes PERIOD And no need for specualtion on here.

  30. 38. Chewe, you wrote “Who is going to vote for your HH?yourself and other tribalists in southern province.Even if i wanted to vote for him,because of a tonga tribalist like you,i wil never ever do it.Nshinchinko iwe.”

    Who is the real tribalist between me and you Chewe? I will leave it to the onlookers to judge or is it decide.

    Have a blessed day though. Do not worry much I will pray for you and God, the Creator of everything, will surely help you – though you Chewe must try not to allow the devil use you to insult others.

  31. Maestro Hatombwe you can have your degrees.But your head is empty.All you have is hatred against Sata.Even with your degrees you wil never have a huge following like Sata,s which includes also more educated people than you who is proud for nothing.That is the problem with tongas.No wonder they wil never rule Zambia.Just continue dreaming. Even if Sata is a grade 4 he has made an impact in Zambia.Than your HH and the useless you.You even have the audacity to compare yourself to Sata.Sata wil never suffer in his life,he has so much property that you will never have in your entire life with your degrees. We are also highly educated,but i cant blow a trumpet like a tonga.We are here to offer solutions.People wont eat my degrees.Useless tonga chap,when you left there was peace on the blog.But you come back,pandamonium starts.

  32. 48. Chewe, please give up this (Even with your degrees you wil never have a huge following like Sata,s which includes also more educated people than you who is proud for nothing.That is the problem with tongas.No wonder they wil never rule Zambia) tribal behaviour of yours. It will not take you anywhere. In fact, it contributed to the Undereducate’s losing of the by-elections because he failed to work with educated HH and the U-Team’s members.

  33. Guyz forget HH is very far from being the president.Look at UPND now it is losing ground in its stronghold like livingstone where the late Mazoka won and was popular.The young man should just accept and join PF and become the vice president and maybe Pf can consider him to be the president after sata retires after winning 2011.

  34. I feel for you 48. Chewe. This (Even if Sata is a grade 4 he has made an impact in Zambia.Than your HH and the useless you.You even have the audacity to compare yourself to Sata.Sata wil never suffer in his life,he has so much property that you will never have in your entire life with your degrees. We are also highly educated,but i cant blow a trumpet like a tonga.We are here to offer solutions) will not help you.
    Just acknowledge that I am a force to reckon with. Had it not been that you would be writing to me now.
    Whether I am Tonga and president HH is that doesnt matter. What matters is that I AM SDA. Besides that I AM A ZAMBIAN CITIZEN and that is what YOU WILL SEE ON MY PASSPORT.

  35. 51. culture, you are writing that “Guyz forget HH is very far from being the president” and yet you also write “The young man should just accept and join PF and become the vice president and maybe Pf can consider him to be the president after sata retires after winning 2011”.
    I am failing to understand your point! An educated Hakainde Hichilema will never be led by an Undereducate Micheal Chilufya Sata who has a bad behaviour to make matters worse. This is fact must be clear to you.
    Besides that, president HH is participating on the NCC to change the Zambian Constitution and your Undereducate is not participating there. So where is anything common between the two HH and Sata?

  36. 51. culture, in case you do not follow Zambian News properly, President RB Banda’s campaign message was that he had come to end Sata’s political carreer.President RB Banda has to fulfill this campaign promise and this will only be fulfilled by effecting changes to the Zambian Republican Constitution through the NCC – which Sata is not even part of – in exactly the same manner Sata and the MMD of Chiluba blocked former President Kenneth Kaunda from standing for Zambian President in 1996 through the Constitution which barred Kaunda on Citizenship.
    The earlier you will realise this, the better for you. Otherwise, forget about president HH being led by Sata. Sata is welcome to support HH tho.

  37. 56. Anonymous, please pump some sense into Chewe though you are wrong on “Thank God they are always third” unles the God you are referring to is not the one whom I know as the Creator of everything. Late A. Mazoka was secone to late Levy. Late Levy Mwanawasa a Lenje is also considered as a Tonga since his tribe has a language which is just a variant of the original Tonga just like Ila and Toka-leya.

    In case you did not know this information, thank God you are now educated on these important true facts.

  38. Rupiah Banda has gone on holiday apparently because the price of mealie meal has stabilised. A contradiction in terms?

  39. I would like to request our local psychologysts to undertake a study to establish why lunatics like Michael Chilufya “David Koresh” Sata manage to draw support from electrolates.The findings of the study should help our country to identify measures that must be put in place to prevent such dangerous lunatics fron ascending to power.This will surely prevent us from creating another Zimbabwe.

  40. Tell chi Maestro Culture,because he is too stuborn for nothing.HH has finished Upnd.You cant compare him to Mazoka mwana mubotu.Am pregnant with information.There is nothing that Maestro Hatombwe can tell me.HH wil never rule Zambia. It was said that a tonga should succeed Mazoka and thats how HH came to destroy Upnd.

  41. I would like to request our local psychologysts to undertake a study to establish why lunatics like Michael Chilufya “David Koresh” Sata manage to draw support from electrolates.The findings of the study should help our country to identify measures that must be put in place to prevent such dangerous lunatics fron ascending to power.This will surely prevent us from creating another Zimbabwe.

  42. #58 Yeah right! :d

    You win. HH is president of Zambia!

    If I were you, I would have been looking at building the image of Tongas. :-?:d
    :-?:d

  43. 61. Chewe, on your “Tell chi Maestro Culture,because he is too stuborn for nothing.HH has finished Upnd.You cant compare him to Mazoka mwana mubotu.Am pregnant with information.There is nothing that Maestro Hatombwe can tell me.HH wil never rule Zambia. It was said that a tonga should succeed Mazoka and thats how HH came to destroy Upnd,” just relax for you will come round, to terms with reality, one day.

  44. 63. Anonymous, thanks for acknowledging your ignorance and keep learning more truths. Have a blessed day my friend.

  45. Maestro.
    Am not going to take sides because You and Chewe have been at each others throat for some time now. All I can say is, say sorry to each other for the bad words you have said. Let there be truce between the two of you. Its christmas for Gods sake.

  46. 69. Sarah thanks for everything. I hope that Chewe will come round some day, but like you wrote please stay neutral. I will neutralise Chewe until he learns manners myself.

    Have a happy festive season to yourself and keep well.

  47. 68. Chewe, you wrote ‘Ala kwena Maestro Hatombwe waliba dull,’ and I will leave the onlookers to judge who is dull between you and me, Maestro.

    In honouring the good name you have given me, Chewe, I am now going to use it – Maestro Hatombwe.

  48. For christ’s sake, can someone remind Mr Rupiah Banda to wake up and start working. Where are we heading to? This is the result of voting for the elderly whose minds are set that only the west can work and provide for us.

  49. It is very sad! Where are we heading to if people lose jobs two days before Christmas. Where do you find the money to pay rent and feed your family of six. has anyone got answers for the situation in Zambia.

  50. “I can now go on holiday because the price of mealie meal has gone down.”

    Ba Rupaih Banda, pushe do you have a heart for the people to say that when others don’t even know where that money to buy the mealie meal is going to come from when one has lost a job two days before christmas. A family of four taking on another family of five in one house as the other family the bread winner has been made reduant!
    Awe something needs to be done as my eyes are full of tears on the way my fellow Zambians are suffering.
    How do I enjoy Christmas Knowing others will have sad Christmas.

  51. 76. Anonymous, we will continue doing good, better and best as Tonga people and you shall continue being shocked. Just acknowledge that we work hard and are taught good manners at our homes which help us succeed in life.

  52. All Zambians Please watch this Interview on Youtube, Zambia does not have leaders, The loans they are borrowing just enslaves a country Please watch this video by John Perkins on Youtube “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man – Part I”

  53. AM A STUDENT IN LONDON,NOW AM GETTING SCARED GOING BACK TO MY HOME LAND SIAMPONGO VILLAGE BECAUSE OF THE THINGS AM GETTING ON INTERNET CONCERNING THE ECONOMY OF MY COUNTRY. 🙁

  54. Ba Maestro na ba Chewe, napapata pliz aikona ukulwa. When i see your comments my heart breaks. May God unite our nation, all tribes. Sarah, thanks. U’r a peacemaker.

  55. 80. Ba Season greetings and thanks. Your “Ba Maestro na ba Chewe, napapata pliz aikona ukulwa. When i see your comments my heart breaks. May God unite our nation, all tribes. Sarah, thanks. U’r a peacemaker” is very welcome, but prayer for that insultant Chewe for the young man’s behaviour leaves much to be desired.

    He thinks he can manage to make me start insulting – a thing I gave up when my family helped me see the back side of such. Chewe is joking for the good Lord, our Creator, has already helped overcome such demonic acts of insulting others.

    I have hope that with the combined effort through prayer for the youngman, Chewe can change for the better.

  56. Universally, mankind deh pon red alert, like Marley say:

    ..this could be the first trumpet, might aswell be the last
    Many more will have to suffer, many more will have to die
    don’t ask me why.

  57. KWENA MAESTROL ULISHILU SUDDENLY YOU HAVE RESURRECTED AND THEREZ SO MUCH DRAMA ON THE BLOGG YOU THINK YOU ARE THE ELITE WHAT HAVE YOU MAJORED IN POLITICAL SCIENCE KU ZED TAKWABA ICHINTO MU POLITICAL SCIENCE TRY KU SOVIET UNION GYNTE

  58. #78 Father Kwanzaa

    I just watched ‘confessions of an Economic hitman’.
    To be honest I felt like throwing up half way while watching what he was saying. Our leaders need to wake up or we are doomed forever.
    Its always foreing investors and borrowing more money. The Question is how do we escape from these guys. The truth is that we have nowhere to run.

  59. 83. ZE BIGGIE greetings and thanks for the humbling words that suddenly there is life on the blog LT.

    On your “… THEREZ SO MUCH DRAMA ON THE BLOGG YOU THINK YOU ARE THE ELITE WHAT HAVE YOU MAJORED IN POLITICAL SCIENCE KU ZED TAKWABA ICHINTO MU POLITICAL SCIENCE …”

    I have not studied any Political Science, but my Single Subject major was Physics at UNZA. Then I studied Astrophysics and Space Science. Later Space Physics. Now, I am studying more Space Studies with Law, Economics and Project Management.

    I however take pride in being informed on any front that deserves my attention especially Religion and Politics since I am a committed Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Chrsitian.

  60. The comedy in Zambian politics – Sata since the 50s, RB since the 50s, Kafupi since the 60s. When are you the youths going to be given an opportunity? These people are tired and expired both physically and mentally. They need regular massages from their carers and not sweating in offices and preparing speeches. Stand up and support young leaders and work together selflessly after all time is on your side and you can afford to succeed each other in four or five terms democratically. Enjoy and value your nation as youths developing your beloved country.

  61. 86. True democrat greetings and great contribution. However, I would rather you rephrase this question “When are you the youths going to be given an opportunity?” to:

    When are you the youths going to take up the opportunity?

    This is so because me as a Youth doesn’t need to be ‘given an opportunity’ by anyone, but to seize the existing opportunities already provided for me in the Zambian Republican Constitution.

    Thank you one more time and be blessed. #:-s.

  62. Not everyone offcourse voted for Nyama Soya, but the so called majority especially in rural voted for him. They were told if you vote for Sata will kill all the old people especially those that were non productive and will bring war. Fertiliser price was going to reduce to K50,000 but just days along the line he turned and said Zambia was too vast to receive subsidised fertiliser. In other words he was saying what he promised the masses during campaign was just a was of stealling there votes. RB has no morals some marrying someone whose age difference is 43 Oh. Am 35 yrs now and meaning if I were in RB’s shoes will have to live another 8 yrs for my would wife to be brought on this land.

  63. Awaiting Tetas wise comments!!! price of mealie meal in his home town is gone up. Just kidding he will blame the opposition and traders

  64. Ba Solwezi soon you will learn not to vote for MMD. There will never be another Copperbelt.Since you are so naive, you will soon learn that the so called investors just came to steal your minerals and sexually abuse your daughters.

  65. Maenstro and Chewe, this Tonga/Bemba kind animosity which you are desplaying,is barbaric! antiquated! nauseatic! fontinic-if at all this word does exist in English vocabulary!

    Please lets talk about something else other than entertaining tribalism.[-x Me I get along with anybody regardless of ones’ tribe.
    ASo please can you drop that hatred abruptly! and merry X-mas!! Ala!
    >:p>:p>:p>:p>:p>:p

  66. Honestly in the house there is hunger and a parent tells his children that am going for holiday since i have money to spend some where. That the parent we have RB , with no caring heart. prices are just too high for poor zambia. For the Solwezi guys that your benefit. You voted for him tell him to cancel his holiday. For LCM workers just because you never voted for him thats why he is not caring what you start going thru. May th e of His excellency LPM rest in peace. Rb watch out how many months remaing roughly 50 Months and you cant perfom tangible service for people who voted for you. Villagers learn a lesson. Viva Sata, HH and Clive Chirwa they haveformed a coalition to be announced.

  67. It would appear the more people get educated the more tribal they become, what a shame. Please let us discuss objective issues than dwelling on this tribal nosense. Iam Bemba and happily married to a beautiful and well mannered tonga lady! One Zambia One Nation.

  68. LEAVE THE PRESIDENT ALONE,HES ONLY ENJOYING HIS BENEFITS OF HIS STATUS EVEN IF COBRA WAS PRESIDENT HE COULD HAVE DONE SAME GOING FOR HOLIDAYS,STOP WAISTING TIME ON RB;S PERSONAL LIFE TALK REAL ISSUES,IF HE THE AGE DIFFERENCE WITH HIS WIFE IS EVEV 100 YEARS THUS NOT YOUR PROBLEM [-(

  69. Instead of fighting on what would have been happening had Sata won the just ended Presidential elections. I suggest we talk of the problems at hand and what should be done.

  70. u pipo u’ll end up killing yoselves, nyama soya is relaxing now whether u talk or not it will not change anything.wat u shld do is to contest so that 1 day u become a president of this country & do wat u think is right. :d/:d/:d/:d/:d/

  71. 101 ndimuntu-u right but what do you think u can do when u have self conceited ministers such as Teta and Shikaps. They are Mr know it all

  72. Fuel reduced to unbelievable prices. Mealie meal down in CB and today in Chipata. Watch out NMC and Choma milling are following suit tomorrow.

    Meanwhile Sata is condemining high costs on NCC but advocating for mass bye – elections which will cost billions because his MPs have a different opinion to his. Abash double standards.

    Pankolokooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

  73. Serves them right! Mangoes will soon run out so they should look for “soya beans”. RB has no vision/direction (does n’t know why he’s there), HHH is an opportunist (only appears when there is an election and is only full of text book theories that can’t practically be applied in Zed) and Sata has the Zambian people at heart(has a vision to make Zed a better place to live in.)

  74. #s 18 and 86 FOR YOUR OWN INFORMATION HH IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. PLEASE GUYS. I’M TONGA, BUT I CAN NEVER VOTE FOR THAT CHAP.

    – RB, SATA, HH, MIYANDA = 2011 NO VOTE

    WE NEED SOMEONE TO BE GROOMED NOW

    THE GOVERNMENT IS FULL OF HUGHES (Highly Useless Graduates Hired for Eating and Sleeping)

  75. :o)
    mmmmmmmmmmweeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyy cccccccchhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrriiiiiissssssssssssttttttmmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaasssssssssssss someone…

  76. #99 ,
    Some tribes are naturally too inclined to their own tribe. For instance, there was a tribe which openly advocated for a tribal president this time around. What a shame! They openly said Zambia now needs a Tonga president and I was shocked because the post of prsedency and indeed any other position is not based on tribal rotation but on merit. So it goes without saying that Tongas tribalists, it’s a genetic disposition and you can’t change them!

  77. Its survival of the fittest
    Only the strong ones and corrupt figures will survive in this harsh economic enviroment providing minimal opportunities

  78. #110 vry good comment i like u vry much u sld be my frnd if u dnt mind. very few Tonga’s can stand up 4 da truth.HH is truely a chap he knws nothing abt Zambia & so he cant rule, evn if he is educated its non of our business who kws maybe he was using leakages.Pa UNZA epaba nefikopo sana if u ddnt knw!!!!bambi tabaishiba nokupenda. :d:d:d

  79. Pa **== so chabe,we complain or not akabunga kena balelunda,They just want us to be happy this festive season. Nyamasoya is just enjoying in Nfuwe,him does not feel the impact kaili fyama hala :-b:-b

  80. Its true MESTROL Hehehe aim is to campaign for HH on this blog. I have been following his political contributions. Mestro if you want to campaign please go to Zambian and do so. Not on this blog. here we are talking about solutions which can make Zambia better.

    Chewe and the others please withdraw from this talk. Let Mestrol if he wants continue with his childish campaigns.

    To fellow bloggers, plesase if you have intentions to compaign for any political party, go to zambia and do it physically. Not on this blog coz you will just bring unnecessary fightings.

    May The good Lord bless you all.

  81. Ba Maestro stop showing off notuma papers twenu utwa physics! How do we know maybe mwalikwete ama likeges or mwailepangishefye utupepa twenu ku matero. So just shut up!!!%-(:-@:-@

  82. can somebody tell the Nation how many PIPO are going for a Ten Day holiday in Mfuwe on Tax Payers money? Did we see this with Levy. MHSRIP

  83. You north westerners are amazing,you mean todate you can still be played by politicians like teta.This time you will pay with the price reduction of copper prices and mass job redundancies may be you will learn how to vote for right and sound minded pipo.for now continue suffering it is your making Chao!!!!!!!!

  84. maestro and undertaker leave on chips and nyama soya. rb must be serious with what he does. where has mealie meal reduced ? is it in his head or house? anyway the man leaves on free things. no wonderhe can take such a huge group to mfuwe.

    maestro badala kamuya ku magoye and see poverty. people are reduced to leaving on grass ,wild fruits and suspending meals . this is a matter of life and death. twachula pafula.

  85. #113 COMPLICATIONS OF THE SEASON TO YOU TOO.

    #115 THATS WHY. DEAL. WE ARE FRIENDS. MERRY XMAS!!!!

    #122 MUSANGE. THESE PEOPLE AND THEIR LOZI COUSINES ARE THE WORST TRIBALISTS. THATS THE ONLY THING THEY THINK ABOUT. THEY CAN BE VERY EDUCATED, BUT IT ENDS THERE. LETS NOT WASTE TIME ON THEM. HH WILL NEVER RULE. THERE’LL BE WAR.

  86. 105 I support you all the way.Its indeed a pity we have a government made up of greedy self conceited people. If they understood better their role as servants of the people and not masters of the people it would have been better. Numbers 104 and 108 please its about time you got in touch with reality. There are no drugs in hospitals, accommodation is getting worse everyday, people are straded looking for houses,job loses, in short basic needs are hard to meet. If fuel prices are low today, its no work of RB its an external factor i.e fuel has been reduced from the source. mealie meal prices can be reduced but we still run a chance of running out of maize in three to four months.

  87. 95. SHIMAPEPO, can you justbe specific and say that you do not like the way Chewe and his Bemba friends use tribalism. Why do they point fingers at Tonga people who justy use truth to defend their points?

    It is the Bemba characters who have bad animisity including insulting behaviour and not Tongas. If you dispute this fact, please point to only ONE INSULT THAT ANY TONGA PERSON has written on LT especially me if you can afford to show it.

    Why do you fear to write the truth about the Bemba people’s unpalatable language on LT without involve normal Tonga people in the accusations. Do you read properly or you have a challenge in English Language including others?

  88. 115. That,s why; ou sound embittered. Did you fqil to pass your Grqde 12 exams to get you points to make it to use?

    Some of us did well. President HH got Merit in Economics.

    What a shame on your part to insult that Great University UNZA.

  89. 117. Kambongolo, so whats you point here? If I campaign for president HH, is it your problem? Learn to respond to things that concern you alone and not rash to make things appear inclusive of everyone.
    President HH with the UPND are clean.The Undereducate, Micheal C. Sata, is on the otherhand tarnished with dirty which he accumulated when he served in the Chiluba MMD Administration. The best he can do is to apologise to the Nation for that mess he did to this country by being a Minister Without Portifolio and campaigning for Chiluba’s 3rd term. Without the Undereducate doing this, I will never take him seriously as a Presidential candidate.In fact, the man’s political status is EXCLUDE.

  90. 118. Chintelelwe, jealous or kalijo like MC Wabwino sung will not take you anywhere.

    If you shut up, you will do yourself justice my friend as your ignorance is already forgiven.

  91. 122. musange, continue hating and you will continue admiring our success as Tonga people. However, you are welcome to sense and join us by asking how you can catch up with us.

  92. Maestro, u speak ill of one Micheal Chilufya Sata especially to the effect that he is of low education. While that might be true, I can assure u that we just love the man! He has Charisma & he talks sense. So like him or hate him, he is our man. U can have your educated HH, but my God, u still have a long way to go. He cannot convince the masses to his side. Why??? Because just like you, he is too full of himself. Watching him makes me sick to my stomach. He believes he is Gods solution to Zambia. Unfortunately, he lacks charisma & mostly tells stale stories

  93. Anonymous/Chewe/Culture/Zamtribe – you are a disgress!!! Even posting your rantings on here is shameful! In this age and era how can you be advocating for Sata? What can he do to Zambia that he has failed to do since 1950s? The man is simply a chancer, period. If the likes of you were Americans, Obama was never going to be the US president. SISTER is simply lost, he/she doesn’t even know what to do. Identifying some one at the 11th hour? And who?
    It explains why we have all these problems in Zed, even the people that claim to be eduacted can not see that Sata has nothing to offer in modern day politcs!! Shame!!

  94. 124. che leo, I’d love to go ku-Magoye, but I am on national duties right now. I will go there at an appropriate time, by God’s grace.

  95. #115 have your head checked, were you trained in some Russian Uni (after failing at UNZA in firts year) or something where there were no exams? It was very common in the recent past, you know, for one to fail at UNZA in firts year, get a Bursary and go to Russia!!!

  96. 133. Shibumi, thanks you have finally come to terms with reality by writing “Maestro, u speak ill of one Micheal Chilufya Sata especially to the effect that he is of low education.” Now, if what I write about the Undereducate, Micheal C. Sata, is true like you yourself have written, then what ill have I written since I just write truth about Sata’s character? I am waiting!
    You also wrote “While that might be true, I can assure u that we just love the man!” I want to assure you that I love the Undereducate, Sata, and that is why I am trying to get him to see where he has gone wrong so that he can improve. Registeration of Grade 7 exams slated for 2009 will start soon and he shouldn’t miss.

  97. maestrol Heheheheh,

    Please leave me out of this….if indeed you are a very nice TONGA show it now. I dont want to arque with you. I am much more respected dear for me to reduce myself to your level. Whether you hate Sata , the truth stands that he has drawn support of the majoriy Zambians. Remember people in 2001 through out Zambia they voted for Mazoka. Ask yourself why they cant vote for HH but only southern province. This charecter you are portraying here has caused it. Be assured that you will be winning 100% in southern province till I dont know.

    So I begg you leave me out of this self created mess of UPND:

  98. RB doesn’t know, am sure, whether he’s going or coming, he’s clueless!! All he’s done since he took over is increasing his salary and taking his entire clan to Mfuwe! Zedians we are in big sh”t!!!

  99. 125. SISTER, you have every right to your opinion, but someone said that ‘you are respect until you speak some nonsense which people use to judge yourself in the end’.

    I just hope you are not what you are accusing those your “THESE PEOPLE” and Lozi people. Remember that another person wrote that ‘actions speak louder than words.”

    What a shame.

  100. 139. Kambongolo, is it me who wrote about myself on posting #117. Kambongolo or you have a problem of forgetting easily? Why then are you now crying “maestrol Heheheheh,Please leave me out of this
    ” when your name is attributed to #117 that refers to me, Maestro?

  101. #133 Shibumi, we are in this mess because of people like you. You can not differentate perfomance from charisma. Do we need charisma to solve the country’s problems? I do not think so!! I would rather have someone who is arrogant but gives me the results I want rather than someone who can talk me through plenty of lies and have nothing at the end of the day.

  102. 139. Kambongolo. This “Remember people in 2001 through out Zambia they voted for Mazoka. Ask yourself why they cant vote for HH but only southern province” is a lie for Northern, Luapula, Eastern and Copperbelt Provinces did not vote for late A. Mazoka – the same pattern which we see with president HH so please go back and check your facts or better still shut up instead of opposing your ignorance on here LT.

    Have a good day as you reflect on my true and sensible words to you.

  103. Do some you bloggers have farms? Or are you spending all your free time blogging? Isn’t this why Zambia has problems because the amount of time you spend blogging, you could help out an older man in the community or teach your favourite presidential candidate (SATA) some basic economics. Am sure, most you got free education from KK and you can do well to help out those who were not as lucky. Use your queen’s constructively and stop insulting each other. Ask VJ for some tips in diplomacy and parliamentary debating, you may become an MP using PABWATOO who knows and you will need those skills.

  104. 143. Wanzelu, ulina nzelu zoona. Your “#133 Shibumi, we are in this mess because of people like you. You can not differentate perfomance from charisma. Do we need charisma to solve the country’s problems? I do not think so!! I would rather have someone who is arrogant but gives me the results I want rather than someone who can talk me through plenty of lies and have nothing at the end of the day” is a clear testimony of Ng’andu Peter Magande’s way of working ever since he left UPND to join late Mwanawasa to take Zambia forward from the crippled economy that the Undereducate, Micheal C. Sata, left us with as Zambia and Zambians.

    Some people have terrible emotinal ways of understanding.

  105. Wanzelu,apart from charisma Sata is a high performer. Check out his political career & u will find that wherever he was posted he did wonders. As Lsk Gov, Min of Local Gov, Min of Health-talk to those who worked under him. He inspired all to great performances. The ones you want to try have never held office apart from promising to perform wonders if elected, who has time to experiment? Not me!! The recent experiment has already gone on holiday with his entire clan while there are a mirade of problems facing the nation. It is people like ‘Ulibe Nzeru’ who hv put us in this mess

  106. 148. Shibumi, you alleaged that “apart from charisma Sata is a high performer”, but is supporting a 3rd term for Chiluba at a time the Kwacha rate to the dollar is at about 1 USD to K6000 showing that Sata is a high performer?

    Come on guys, let us be serious with life. Someone sponsors thugs to machete innocent Citizens in Chawama and you call that that person is a high performer!

    Thank God the Undereducate, MC Sata, did not win the 2008 elections to become President of Zambia!

  107. #148, a good leader’s work lives long after he has departed. Sata is a bully and each time he leaves a ministry people get back to their old ways. Is that leadership? Lusaka city council employees celebrated when Sata was removed because he used to shout at them like little kids. One Minister who I know performs is Hon. Kalombo Mwansa. He is quiet but usually effective in every Ministry he has taken up. Sylvia Masebo was equally good and so was Magande. But the real performer during his poltical career was Kebby Musokotwane. He explained policies to people so that people understood where they were going and got motivated to continue with the policies.

  108. I am off to my farm now. Its time to plant. May be we can contribute towards ending hunger and bring the prices of food down. That way, we can help our elderly live happily. I wished my old man Sata would also follow suit.

  109. You Tonga boy: maestro nyenyenye read the story below:
    Big nose ali mu bush na ka sweet sixenteen
    Out of touch with reality.
    The mines are closing, mealie meal is up, the economy is dsintergreting and all you can do is go and take a vacation.
    Thank you rural voters.
    It is very shameful for our sleeping president…You Tonga Boy you seem to be sleeping too.

  110. 152. intellectual!!! I have already done what you are requesting. As a “Tonga boy”, I will do what I have to do to enjoy life although thank you very much for your concern.

  111. ZAMBIANS yesterday welcomed the reduction in the prices of fuel and mealie meal and urged the Government to continue working tirelessly to improve the people’s standards of living.
    Evangelical Fellowship of Zambia (EFZ) executive director, Paul Mususu said in an interview in Lusaka yesterday that the move showed that Government leaders could be taken on their promises.

    MUSUSU HAS LOST IT. FUEL PRICE REDUCTIONS ARE NOT MAGIC BY RB. IN THE UK FUEL PRICES ARE NOW LOWER THAN 18 MONTHS AGO.

  112. Vote =; for true concerned leaders to lead Zambia.

    GRZ when are you going to say THANK YOU to president Hakainde Hichilema who wrote President RB Banda containing ways of improving our limping economy. It is sad to note that the Kwacha currency rate to the US Dollar has now surpassed or is about to where former President Chiluba left it with us in 2011.

    Let us learn to say thank you any help that comes our way. After all, the MMD GRZ is the one that requested for help from the opposition with solutions to the Global/National Financial Crises that we are facing as Zambians and Zambia. **==

  113. 156. intellectual!!! thanks my fellow Citizen and keep loving all human beings despite you not being their tribesman.
