Southern Province Minister, Daniel Munkombwe has threatened to camp in Ndeke township in Mazabuka where Cholera has broken out if the Municipal Council does not collect the mountains of garbage that have blocked the flow of water in the drainages.
He said Government is concerned with the Cholera situation in Mazabuka and wondered why the equipment donated to the council such as the light trucks donated for the Keep Mazabuka Clean Campaign where not used to collect garbage in the townships.
Mr Munkombwe said he is ready to stay in a tent and share the problems the Ndeke community was going through as a protest to the council’s failure to collect garbage and provide safe drinking water for the residents.
The highly charged Minister who toured Ndeke township was disappointed to learn that the council had failed to collect the heaps of garbage that has led to an outbreak of Cholera in the township.
Mr Munkombwe has directed Town Clerk, Ekan Chingangu to find a solution to what he termed as an ” I don’t care attitude” by some directors at the local authority.
Mr Munkombwe who was made to wait for close to an hour had to abort his official meeting at Mazabuka District Commissioner’s office after it became evident that management was playing hide and seek games.
The minister instead directed District Commissioner, Tyson Hamaamba and Provincial deputy Permanent Secretary to accompany him to the council offices and find out why they did not want to meet him.
However as the Minister walked to his official vehicle, Town Clerk Ekan Chingangu was seen talking to a head of department but upon seeing the minister, he immediately informed him that his director of engineering, Presto Chonde had just driven in.
Minister Munkombwe ignored Mr Chingangu and ordered that the meeting be held at the council offices.
Mr Munkombwe reminded the council that it was only him who could protect the council in the province adding that, had he invited Local Government Minister, the council could have been dissolved.
Speaking earlier, Mazabuka Central Ward Councillor, Lloyd Buumba informed the minister that his efforts to advise the council to remove the garbage had fallen deaf ears.
However Town Clerk, Ekan Chingangu assured the minister that all blocked drains would be unblocked.
Mr Chingangu said the council is geared to remove refuse in the drainages as evidenced by the mobilisation of graders, Front end loaders and other equipment.
ZANIS /HC/Ends/MM
There we go, another opposition run council-UPND. The opposition are so useless and they think they can run the country if they are failing to manage councils?
ALL and I mean ALL MMD run councils are functioning well
Kudos Daniel but really we do not need to be getting to such.
#1 Please stop this nonsense. It`s true you are a bootylicker. No wonder you didn`t know that Zambia had net banking. Straight from Chipata to SA. You never had an account in Zambia to know.
Should we be worried about you? :d
Munkombwe you have been enjoying in every administration since KK, just stay in your mansion otherwise you will just die of cholera yourself in the tent.
Thats what we need,a minister at work! Now Sir could you please fire the Town clerk as an example.
Thats hypocrisy.Where was Munkombwe when Garbage was piling up? He should have taken action b4 instead of being sympathetic now to those poor villagers.
Thats not the kind of leadership u Zambians need.
No praises from me, sorry.
MUNKOMBWE, THATS A OOD SUGGESTION. YOU HAVE LONG OUTLIVED YOUR USEFULNESS AND THEREFORE BETTER OFF DYING THAN THOSE SOULS WE STILL NEED, AND NEVER EVEN SAW A BETTER DAY.
#1 is a useless lifeless creature which is working well in zambia.Go to soweto market & chandwe musonda road.Very untrusted govt.
#9 Bootlicker is in SA. A villager gone to SA!
“Southern Province Minister, Daniel Munkombwe has threatened to camp in Ndeke township in Mazabuka where Cholera has broken out if the Municipal Council does not collect the mountains of garbage that have blocked the flow of water in the drainages.”
There is no need to start politicking Mr Minister D. Munkombwe by threatening to camp in Ndeke Compound! When did Ndeke Compound of Mazabuka become a Township also? :o.
Just camp there so that we see the seriousness in you Mr Minister. We are tired of hearing/reading promises and now we need action from you – so camp in Ndeke to show that you empathise with the Cholera victims instead of trying to gain political mirage through rhetoric.
Let him sleep there or even eat the garbage/rubbish with his old behind exposed to grems will send him to see LPM fastest than he can say Mosi-o-tunya
Let him go straight ahead, I will give him the blankets. It is time ministers felt how we feel on the ground.
Due to concerns by Geologist, Canada, and 108. Dobo Banton(9th).LLB, I will be using the username G~la_fj in place of Maestro Hhehhehhehhe for some time.
I also wish to send you all my happy prosperous New Year 2009 to you all old and would-be new LT bloggers.
Having written that, I would like to announce, formally, that I will be very very rare on LT in the year 2009. This is because I am re-mounting operation ‘become Chess Grand Master’ and also I will be working for personal development following the advice from UPND spokesman Zambezi MP Charles Kakoma. I may not be available later in the day to do this since I have been invited somewhere to celebrate New 2009.
Be blessed y’all.

I will definately miss you all and continue doing a noble cause for Zambia. Someday we will just make it as a Nation that will have moved from low stature to one that will be riding on high, higher, heights.
By God’s grace, I hope to make it into the New Year 2009. I will be praying for you all and our country at large.
Please, remember who you are always and take care of yourselves.
With heart-felt love,
Mugungulu H. Mwaanga as Maestro Hhehhehhehhe.

Keep it up Mr minister!
Upcoming President.
Who is this #1 MMD bootlicker thing who, each time he opens his mouth, irkers other blogers. The Guy makes me sick to my stomach. Each time he opens his stinking mouth only rubish staff pours out of it. I wonder what the guy is doing in a foreign land apart from sitting in front of the computer waiting to be #1 and vomit his rubish on this blog.
This chap is a tired horse.
:d/:((thts better mre minister
#19 Am a Zambian employee at the Zambian Embassy in South Africa. Am sure I will see some of you when you come for the new passports with Biometric features that the MMD govt has ushered in to confirm with the new world requirements after the 9/11 saga. You wont be able to go to other countries if you don’t change
Can someone tell me why mr munkombwe be sleeping there? I see no sense.Let the minister fire theT.c & the direct of Health as an example & fund the council so as to deliver services.
Yaba
MMD Booklicker,I guess you are part of the family tree and that how you found yourself there together with Mbula.You shall soon be gotten rid of…until the entire tree disintergrates.If i were you,i would already have put plan B in motion.You have been spoon fed for too long!
Cheap politicking by Munkombwe.Everyone knows that he can never do such a thing.Where is the energy going to come from?The man has been sick and he should not even attempt to close to the cholera tents if he wishes to see another day or else he shall kick a bucket faster than lightening!!
This Munkombwe is right to wanting to camp and eat garbage. He is just going to return to where he belong, THE GARBAGE DUMP OR HEAP. I am so surprised that none of the two recent presidents are able to spot that he is garbage to an extent he is telling them to let him go and be amongst his contemporaries, GARBAGE. Why are you forcing garbage to live amongst human beings when it know its place. Rupiah Bamba, garbage is daring you to let it be where it belongs, so please oblige and give it its place. MUNKOMBWE IS GARBAGE AND GARBAGE IS MONKOMBWE PERIOD. OH i forgot that he belongs to the right group of garbage which is MMD.
Munkombwe is lying throuhg his teeth that can camp in Ndeke.Why not do it than issue threats!!!Where was he when the pile of rubbish was becoming a mountain? where was he when the rubbish was choking the draains. admittedly the local authority also to blame. oth Old Munkombwe and the civic leaders only reacting now.Arrest them for genocide. Munkombwe cant slep in a tent leaving his poligomous multiple wives of his cold at home.
#22 This confirms my feelings then. I knew you were a villager hand piked to work in SA. That is why you do not know about net banking in Zambia.
Guys this wum embassrased himself to the world by saying there is no internet banking in Zambia (those who missed it). So you know the person you are dealing with here. SA is very near to Zambia. I have friends there and they fly home every 6 months for holidays.
This guy still goes by bus and straight to the village.
FTJ:”Those calling me names will be crushed because i’m anointed by God and stand on a rock that can never be broken” amen, what do you think guys?
#25 I actually have six extra plans B C D E F. Plan A was when LPM was alive. If he died Plan B was to have Magande as presido and if that failed Plan C was to have MMD re-elected. So we are on plan C now and it is working working well. Will not reveal the rest of the three remaining plans and we hope to add more alternatives plans. That is how we work in MMD. We always have back up plans unlike the PF cadres
#29 As for you son of a Turkish Hacker, get over your Internet banking hogwash. Fianance Bank and Stanbic bank introduced Internet Banking this year. I specifically requested for Internet Banking from Stanbic last year and they told me they didn’t have. The other two major ..ctd
ctd from 31..the other major and trusted and stable banks in Zambia Barclays INDO bank and Standard Bank didn’t have INTERNET banking as well last year and I doubt they have now. That is the premise I was working on and that is the background I was coming from..so please son of a Turkish Hacker get over yourself on the INTERNET story and move on. I have already said I was wrong there. I just forgot to refresh my knowledge base. So what more do you want. May be you are the true villager seeing yourself in me. Sorry am not a villager
#32 So from last year all you did was sit and not do anything about it. Stop wearing those rose tinted glasses young man and start seeing the world.! You will be left beihind, again!
:d:d:d:d
Thank God I am in the UK. I can not imagine myself going to the Embassy only to find some one like MMD Chief Bootlicker!
But what is he waiting for? let him go and camp. Is that a threat honestly? Or is he expecting sympathy from the public? where was he before that garbage reached its present state? Bootlicker!!!
31 and 32
Reveal what is contained in the remaining plans.
Is it to do with who will marry Maureen M
Is to do with Maureen’s lovers when LPM was alive
Is it to do with Maureen’s new dance
Or is it to do with the new lover os Maureen other than the one who was doing her in State House, now that he is gone to another country.
May the soul of LPM rest in eternal fornication free peace.
Munkombwe is not a serious person. do you believe that he can camp pa chishala?
As i always say ” Zimbabwe is mine & Britain is for British” Let Munkombwe be seen to be working. If he has to transfer some inefficiency council employees let it be so, we dont want people to die when all is at there disposal for them to function propelly. CHASE THEM PLEASE AND LET OTHERS DO THE WORK
I agree with you Pinkly(#35), these ministers sometimes they just become too vocal so that they gen be heard by the general Public but in reality they are sleeping Ministers. Treatening to stay in the tent who can care! Let him pack his tent and go so that he learns a lesson when he suffers cholera.
The best he could have done was to find a solution when those gabbages were getting out of hand or just fire those he thinks were charged with such a responsibility than VOMITING baseless words in public!
Mr.Minister we want less talking all you need to do is fire the City Manager (Town Clerk) who has failed to do his job.From the look of things if I was your boss I would fire you too.
#40 Good point I like this. Happy new year!
BUT THAT IS WHERE MUNKOMBWE BELONGS–KWA MATLAKALA KO.
The other day i saw Munkombwe dancing with a certain lady on ZNBC News, I think it was after district MMD elections. The way the man was holding that lady…… :d
i dont know wat we zambians want wen a leader vows to make change we are so negative.that negativity will never develop zambia.even the bible says have faith hope and patience all we do is object to wat our leaders say.we make noise about it…..so its true about what they say empty tins make a lot of noise.
nelly,Munkombwe is a failure who just want money. so you also believe that someone can camp pa chishala?
Iwe, Nelly (#44). It is not that Zambian are negative. The guys like Munkombwe have taken Zambians for a long ride. This man is a political chamelion (not to use the word prostitute!). If he wanted to camp, why not just camp, instead of first blowing the horn calling for attention that he is “going to camp”. Action is what we want. No more empty rhetorics. We are terribly teared. Give us breathing space. Zambiaaaaa eeeeee!!!!!!
CAN LT PLEASE UPDATE THE ENTRIES IN THE SO-CALLED “POPULAR” CATEGORY. WE HAVE HAD REAL POPULAR TOPICS WHICH HAVE VANISHED IN THIN AIR.
nelly #44 learn to analysis issues before exposing your ingnorance! Do you think your uncle, Munkombwe can go and stay KUMALABO? If he mentioned something like puting in place a qualified management to mitigate such iresposiblity exibited by the so called Chingangu and his crew, not even one resoaning person could have uttered any negative comments against your uncle.
But what we are againt is issuing baseless comments just to attract the attention of the public. I always say that ‘Action first, than taking words to adorn our status as ministers. If you (nelly) has sympathy for Munkombwe go and help him have his Tent packed so that you can go and spent your new year eve together in Ndeke!
Munkombwe at it again…promises without action ha ha ha. It is all politiking, why does he just camp and help the garbage removed hmhm. I wonder if he can last if cholera hits him………all the veins can be ruptured quickly and good ridance mwe…..
Munkombwe is showing his primitivity. In this cyber age people have changed the way business is done.
These are politics. No different to some of those mourners at a grave yard asking people to restrain them or else they will jump into the grave and be burried too. Politicians!!
ba minister thats a good example but careul..mwalafyapofye…we are tired of funerals this year :((
Ka #1 Boot(arse?)licker show me which council is 100% functioning in this country. Besides mmd is making opposition councils’ work difficult in case you are not aware
MMD A.s.s kisser or whatever you call yourself, just a word of advice..stay away from the keyboard if you just want to irritate people with you true reflection of your embecile brains. Period
#43 Dont you know that the man is a polygamist ? He can do anything or nothing
#44,nelly, U r the most negative Zambian on this blog.Try to reason b4 you corrupt someone with ur opinions.
Why dont u ask your unkle why he didnt do something to the garbage b4 it piled up?
Munkombwe used to be a highly skilled shimukombe back in the federal days. It was during my 4th marriage that I saw his traditional prowess which I needed to marry my ex-wife who is Lozi. I got into an argument with him over some chibuku which he had put sugar in- and anyone who know Inkoko knows I don’t like that. I knocked his teeth out and the man has never been the same. Needless to say I still maried my Namukolo with whom I had 3 children, who for some strange reason look very much like my gardener Maliposa. Munkombwe begins to foam at the mouth whenever he sees me out of fear.
MUNKOMBWE SHOULD CAREFUL.HE WILL JUST DIE OF CORRELA
51. UK-Zed Observer, nice analogy.
Now we have seen that Munkombwe was busy attacking our president(sata)while his work was piling up,shame his such a failure and deserves to go
