Sata discontinues court action

Share

satacourt6Patriotic Front President, Michael Sata, has discontinued the Presidential election petition against President Rupiah Banda.

Mr. Sata says he has instructed his lawyers to discontinue the case to avoid suffering further humiliation.

He was speaking to Journalists shortly after the Supreme Court threw out an application for a vote recount.

Mr. Sata said he now wants to save time in order to concentrate on the party’s mass countrywide sensitisation programmes.

Deputy Chief Justice, Ireen Mambilima, on Wednesday morning dismissed the application for an order of recount on grounds that it was premature.

Justice Mambilima, sitting with four other Supreme Court Judges, said the application has been thrown out with costs.

She said the court has not been persuaded to depart from the Mazoka Versus Mwanawasa petition where it was stated then that what was contained in the affidavit was not evidence.

She said Mr. Sata will have to present evidence to prosecute his petition.

Justice Mambilima said Mr. Sata is at liberty to apply for an order of recount which the court can only grant once there is sufficient doubt cast on the accuracy of the results.

She also said it was common cause that trial in the petition has not started but that the petitioner was seeking an order of recount upfront, before presenting any evidence.

She said such a procedure has never been used in the trial of any election petition in the courts of law.

Mr. Sata’s lawyers had argued that alleged discrepancies or anomalies recorded in some polling stations brought the authenticity of the results into serious doubts.

Solicitor General, Dominic Sichinga, however said the petitioner did not say that he was present at all polling stations were alleged anomalies took place.

Justice Mambilima has meanwhile adjourned the presidential election petition to April 27th.

And one of Mr Sata’s lawyers, Bonaventure Mutale, told ZNBC news that he will seek audience with his client on the way forward after digesting the ruling.

PF cadres who have in the past thronged Supreme Court grounds, stayed away from Wednesday’s proceedings.

Only police and several MMD cadres were present on the court grounds.

  1. attributes of good leadership include acceptance of reality and prior judgement. this case was not going anywhere at all. I am afraid this man is more rational than some so called educated fellas i know

    • GOOD JUDGEMENT? ARE YOUSERIOUS? tHE MAN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IS THE ONE WHO SUPPORTED THE THIRD TERM BID BY CHILUBA. HE HIRED THUGS TO BEAT THOSE WHO OPPOSED THE THIRD TERM. HE ARMED LUSAKA YOUTHS WITH HAND GUNS. MEANWHILE GENERAL TEMBO WAS RESIGNING AS VICE-PRESIDENT TO FIGHT THE THIRD TERM. PLEASE TELL ME WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR SATA?

    • Do you have evidence or you are just speculating? Mambilima dismissed the applicatin coz of lack of evience. So even you prove that you were present when Sata was giving those pangas. Sory man….you hate him so much. Sata has been winning elections but you have kept on steling from him. Mind your behaviour in 2011. We are watching this pace.

    • Impressive data 3.2. The past will always be remembered but I am willing to forgive those who committed crimes against humanity if they can apologise to the whole Nation.

    • Nkole, I appreciate the way you view some of these issues. You are one of the few that face facts at times even when its not popular to do so. To this regard, may I add that to suggest that Sata has shown good judgement by withdrawing is surely cheap patronage. HE HAS LOST A PETTION AND GIVEN UP! you call that good judgement? Blind loyalties.
      His third term support, the Chawama pangas, the flip flop economical and foreign policies…please! he is not presidential. Need I mention his confiscated USD27,000 in RSA which he hasnt collected, the lost passport…please! Even if the whole Zambia voted for him, that would not make him a suitable candidate. RB won, so he is suitable? I rest my case

  2. Mr Sata you are right. Let the Nation focus on more important matters. Who ever is your advisor, he is the best you have. You will gain a lot of respect if you continue to reason like this.

  3. good move,now talk to HH for a pact,and offer chirwa to join yo camp and bingo come 2011,hemhem dee is done.and also put the ruling party in real and effective checks and balances like the way yo harrington is doing.yu’re so far doing yo job,lol.

    • Tell Chirwa to go back to Zambia and start campagining as hi riends do. It makes no sense for him to seat in Uk thinking HH or Sata will do the job for him. No man..let him also work politics than just wanting to be president. He has to be srious if by any means he wants to rule Zambia.

  4. Well tried Mr Undereducate. I really admire this “Mr. Sata says he has instructed his lawyers to discontinue the case to avoid suffering further humiliation” as humiliation has already happened now and after cleanly losing the presidential elections.

    On “Mr. Sata said he now wants to save time in order to concentrate on the party’s mass countrywide sensitisation programmes”, this is the only way to go although the about 72 year old, self-appointed un-elected PF Leader, Standard 4 or equivalently Grade 6 school drop out Mr Undereducate Michael Chilufya Sata MUSt know that the coming 2011 tripartite are not for timid souls but for those that are compatible with the 21st Century in…

    • … education, formal education.

      Nevertheless, I encourage you Mr PF leader to stop thinking thatg you are the only one who can drive Zambia in the right direction. You need to work as a team. So, stop those unnecessary expulsions of characters who do not follow through your thinking in your personal PF political party.

      To this end, I humbly ask you to register for Grade 7 exams slated for this year end and plan to have a 1st PF political party convention, even as a mere show that you are democratically elected as PF president then – just a PF leader, since PF’s single handed inception in 2001 after which you only obtained about 3% of the total presidential election votes.

      All…

    • LOSING AND WITHDRAWING ARE TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES. GET IT IN YOUR THICK KAPONYA HEAD THAT HE HAS LOST THE CASE. …WHY IS HE WITHDRAWING AFTER LOSING…. THE SUPREME COURT IS GAOING AHEAD TO RULE ON THE OTHER ISSUE…HE CANT WITHDRAW .. IT IS IN PROCESS. BAD LOSER.

    • What a shame for the undereducated-educated blogger-Christian to have such deadly hatred for an old man Like SATA. How else does one explain it that a man who call himself a Christian should continue insulting elderly people who are in the same group as his parents? The word of God says honour your parents if you were to add more days to your life. But here on this blog we have one undereducated-educated person who every second, minute, hour, day, month, year continues insulting Sata. What a shame for a Christian. SATA is just a politician like others but it has happened that people vote for him even if his party is a three- member part ( Lubinda, Guyscott and Sata himselve). Have respect.

    • Maestro, Sata has discontinued the case. What’s all this rubb!sh you’re writing about a “72 year old, self-appointed un-elected PF Leader, Standard 4 or equivalently Grade 6 school drop out”?
      The man has a lot more gut than some of you young men will ever attain in your life time. Give the old man a break. It’s only in undemocratic environments such as the Zambia you left back home, where things like this happen. It’s edited

    • # 7 Maestro i am very much dissapointed with you. i must confess that i was one person who liked your attitude, i guess i was all wrong. Your statements about Sata are very immature. He may not be a good leader but he has been such a good opposition considering his vast experience. My friend life is not all about money, and education but its about respect as our parents taught us in our humble african life style.

    • Peace of advice mune, its about time you act like you claim to be (EDUCATED). Your comment compared to that of the person are calling undergraduate, yours seem to be coming from someone who has NEVER to pre-grade or any grade above that.

      Uzayondapo chabe mukuzonda MC Sata. You have chosen a very bad way of expressing your hatred for the man, just because he beat your preferred candidate on two occasions.

    • MAESTRO, WHY DO YOU ALWAYS FORGET THE TERM CONVICT? HE WAS IN BWANA MKUBWA PRISON FOR THEFT IN 1962 AND WAS THERE AFTER FIRED FROM THE NORTHERN RHODESIA POLICE. PLEASE REMEMBER I AM A NORTHENER BUT I DESIRE HIGH STANDARDS OF LEADERSHIP FOR ZAMBIA.

    • Cool ba-NKOLE WA MAPEMBWE UMFWE MILANDU. In sad enough, I was not there in 1962, but I will trust you on this one and start using this data as well.

      The whole world needs to know the EXACT CV for the Undereducate Micheal Chilufya Sata. There is no need to hide any record of him from any one as the man Undereducate MC Sata is aspiring for the highest office of our land Zambia.

      Have a blessed day and keep well.

    • Nkole, keep coming…you are my man! why cant people see facts like you do????? your last line “DESIRE HIGH STANDARDS OF LEADERSHIP FOR ZAMBIA” is the key. Whether you are a northerner or not, I care less, what you have said is just sensible! This is Engine Bbuloko and I endorse this line of the message!

    • Man he is undereducated-educated person. He hates Sata as if he is the one who causes HH to lose elecions. He thinks education is european theories only. What a dull chap.

  5. Ha In Zambia when the president is sworn in, very difficult to un-seat him using the same courts that swore him. Thats why the rush before even the full results are in, to do a swearing in ceremony with the populace in the dark who has won. i remember FTJ saying today is a joyous day, we are handing over power to ourselves – during LPM 2001 swearing in ceremony.
    Anyway NyamaSoya will self destruct/ detonate. It’s a matter of time.

    • MR MPUTYU PLEASE STOP PEDDLING IGNORANCE AND TRY TO READ THE ZAMBIAN CONSTITUTION ARTICLE 34 (9) WHICH SAYS ” A person elected as President under this Article shall be sworn in and assume office immediately but not later than twenty-four hours from the time of declaring the election.” IF YOU ARE COMPUTER LITERATE AND SO IGNORANT I FEAR FOR THE OTHER PEOPLE

  6. No #7, Maestro Hhehhehhehhe in 2011 If Mr. Sata stands for elections and loses (2nd position), HH the one you support, will come out third or 4th. If Sata wins, HH will come out 3rd or 4th. I will Print this mesage, laminate it so that it does not fade and it will be a testimony. There is no way HH will win the 2011 elections nor surpass the “Un-educated Sata” as u call him. That’s the fact. So who is popular and who do the people trust betweenn the two?? UPND dug it’s own drave the moment we left because of reasons I gave before, it self destructed after demise of one Anderson kambela mazoka.

    • HH will ever be last. He is very far from Sata. Thats why the undereducated-educated christian blogger hates him.

    • The state of the economy will be the deciding factor come 2011. This is how people vote: When everything is going well, they retain the same leader. When things go bad, they retain the same leader (the devil you know). So 2011, RB. But how long will he last. People will want a younger President because in Zambia with life expectancy in the forties, 70+ years old is very old. It is equivalent to having a 115 year old Japanese prime minister, or a 95 year old US President. So, just a number will be RB’s problem. At the moment I cannot see any sharp knives in the MMD, UPND or PF drawers. FDD died. UNIP is history. Enter Prof Clive Chirwa, porofesa wa ngozi!

  7. On “Justice Mambilima, sitting with four other Supreme Court Judges, said the application has been thrown out with costs. She said the court has not been persuaded to depart from the Mazoka Versus Mwanawasa petition where it was stated then that what was contained in the affidavit was not evidence.” Yes, let them PF pay for going to courts without being carefully prepared after a clear precedence in procedure had been shown following the lates UPND president A. Mazoka and MMD/Zambian former President L.P. Mwanawasa presidential election petition case.

    In law issues, custom is very important and let us ALL carefully consider this in future before wasting our and the courts’ time.

  8. Big up Sata!! they are better things to do than trying to unseat a sleeping president for the rest of your life!

  9. Judges do not over turn presidential election results wily nily (example: Bush vs Gore, USA). These are grave matters. We need sober politicians who do not react emotionally. Mr Sata wanted to put the cart in front of the horse. If the court had ruled in his favour, the result of the recount would hve been used to either pursue the petition or withdraw. Now that the court has thrown it out, he has NO evidence for his petition. You cannot treat of matters of national importance simply by hearsay or intuition. You cannot plunge the country into a constitutional crisis just be suspicion with reasonable doubt. RB is duly elected President of the Republic of Zambia.

  10. NOW RB, GET ON WITH THE BUSINESS OF GOVERNING AND STOP SWATTING FLIES! Get your ‘houseboys’ to do that.

  11. MaestroHhee what ever you call yourself, why do you keep on calling Sata undereducated?i don’t understand you.The Man has done a lot for Zambia her deserves respect.Why do you think your educated Man HH is running to Sata to form a pact.Because he knows that the big Man can contribute,and he is popular than HH.Maestro do you think you are the most educated in Zambia.You are lying to yourself.There are a lot of Educated and talented men in Zambia from all tribes.Ifiko mambala ulesamba.To me you are just a student ,Please study hard and learn to respect if you want to make it.

    • HE IS UNDER EDUCATED. PLEASE LT SONDASHI JOIN PF AND HELP HIM WITH AIDS CURE…THE TWO CAN MAKE GOO TRADITIONAL HEALERS

    • SATA has no degree but he has outwitt you educated people? Is it not that the people of Zambia have seen something in SATA? The fact rmains that sata is sata and all politicians fear him.VIva SATA !!!!!!

    • WHAT HAS SATA DONE FOR ZAMBIA? HE WAS THE NUMBER ONE SUPPORTER FOR THE THIRD BID BY CHILUBA. HE HIRED THUGS TO KEEP GENERAL TEMBO AND MIYANDA FROM THE CONVENTION AT MULUNGUSHI. SATA IS AN UNPRICIPLED HUSSLER AND WE BEMBAS KEEP MAKING EXCUSES FOR HIM BECAUSE OF WHAT MWANAWASA DID TO US. GET A LEADER WHOM OTHER PROVINCES CAN SUPPORT.

    • Sense. The Undereducate MC Sata made sure that he kept out reach of the MMD Convention in Kabwe the late Lt. Gen. Tembo, Brig. Gen. G. Miyanda, FDD president E. Nawakwi and 19 others from participating at the CONVENTION using thugs.

      Imagine, TWO ARMY GENERALS were kept out of the MMD CONVENTION by the Undereducate Sata’s sponsored MMD thugs then.

      Surely, is such a man worthy to lead my great Nation Zambia if there are sensible voters?
      What has the Undereducate done for Zambia despite always chasing the people he doesn’t agree with from a political party where he has influence? Very shameful behaviour indeed.

    • Where is evidence that Sata did that? Mambilima asked for evidence to prove elections wee riged . Show us that evidene.

  12. Thats the way to go my beloved President Sata. The people r behind you and PF. Long live Sata, Viva the Post. Abash SHREK-he was dosing at the cathedral again together with his vp. I wonder what they r @ during the nite! Losers.

    • HE HAS LOST THE CASE . IT WAS LOST FROM THE VERY START….AND NOW HE WANTS TO SAY HE HAS WITHDRAWN. ..JUST PAY COTS. THE RULING WILL GO AHEAD. AND HE IS LOSING THE SECOND PART…SORE LOSER. KAPONYA

    • Surely, whom does the Undereducate MC Sata think he can cheat. I am glad he saw that further humiliation had to be avoided.

    • the consolation i have beside all your praise for this villain is that at least he is one chameleon who duped unsupecting and myopic zambians like you that he is presdential material but the majority of zambians will allow him to rule in this era.

    • # 16.2 All the attacks on president Sata are an indication that he is big factor in the politics of zambia .Remember no one ever kicks a dead dog . I may not subscribe to his political philosophy yet he is needed in opposition thus far in Zambia.After all we all have skeletons in our closets

  13. 1. PF and UPND shud be mobilising people to register to vote so that once voter registration starts all the young people esp. in urban areas where PF enjoy majority support.

    2. Opposition and Civic groups shud push NCC to finish the constitutiion for the next elections to governed by better laws.

    3. Zambia shud do away with voter’s card, a waste of money and paper, let people vote with regs, that shud be enough.

    The day these three issues are resolved, we will have a free and fair result. The voters register is just full of MMD.

  14. Maestro what really is the problem with you. Wether Sata does something right or wrong you just talk negative against him.what happens to your brains when you hear Sata.I knew that you will resurface on the blog even if you said you wil be back on friday.Your hatred is more than that of the devil.Your dangerous behaviour towards sata will make you be judged by God harshly.You are headed for doom.You have to change,what you are doing is not human.

    • Iwe ka Chewe you should have a very low IQ. Sata has lost the case and you are saying he is withdrawing and you think he has done something right. HE SHOULD HAVE WITHDRAWN BEFORE THE RULING AND DONT BRING YOUR BEMBA THIEVES TRIBALISM ON THIS BLOG.

    • I we mT respect the Bembas ayi. Don’t you know we make over 40% of your ka Zambia. And the rest of you 71 tribes share the 60%. Tukami ponona sana fyatile fyenu no uyu wine Maestro.

    • Those tribal words using funny statistics perpetrated by a half Bemba and Lozi man Mr Fred M’membe are not going to help Zambia. Please fellow Citizens, let us not think that the actual Bemba Tribe ground is 40%. It is simply about 17% or so to be specific. Other tribes that are considered as Bembas make up the other 20% to bring the total to about 37%.

      Please, take note that the Central Statistical Office of Zambia has all records one needs to assess the actual prevailing condition of tribe distribtution in Zambia.

      To this end, stop thinking that any one tribe is important than the other, but concentrate of getting Zambia to prosper as “One Zambia, One Nation”.

    • Leave Mahestro alone ala ne fipuba fine filaimona inchenjeshi. Mahestro is fully entitled to his opinion and knowledge is not wisdom. Think of the Peters of the Bible which school did they go to? They were only fishermen and God used them mightily to spread his word. Much as Mahestrol can be educated he can not much the wisdom of Sata.

  15. Iam not interested in the dirty game of politics but I respect you Mr sata.This is a great decision that you have made my dear father.You have saved the poor Zedian’s money they pay for tax coz this case was not going to be judged fairly even when there is enogh evidence that elections were rigged.The Judges were going to judge it in favour of the ruling party kaili they want to keep there jobs.

    All the best in your life my Old man.

  16. Maestro what did the people who made you a leader at your church see?Is it because of education? Because you dont posses any qualities of a leader.And God looks at the heart of a person. In you there is hatred,bitterness,hostility towards bemba tribe,verngence etc.Your heart is engulfed by the devil and millions of his demons.You are the dwelling place of cruelty,brutality and hatred.You are beyond redemption.

    • Iwe Chewe is Sata your father…..you sound like mwana wa mu chi gololo whose dad is Sata. This Bemba tribal thing of yours S U C K S. We all have have our own tribes please. You can start your own blog for ‘BEMBA THIEVES ONLY”
      You dont withdraw after losing.

    • I don’t subscribe to tribe sentiments but on this one i will. You are a bitter man Who told you that Bembas are thieves? What ever the tribe you are let this sink into your head that Bemba is just like any other tribe and we are proud to be Bembas.

    • IT TAKES A THIEF TO KNOW A THIEF(KAWALALA AZIWA KAWALALA MUZAKE).YOU ARE THERE WHEN BEMBAS ARE STEALING,SO THAT MAKES YOU EQUALLY A THIEF!!

    • Mohammed,
      Stop this tribal nonsence,is MOHAN OR RATHI BEMBA? Let us discuss issues that will add value to our lives.For all i know this prosecution has all but effort to settle old scores.What came out of Mabenga tribunal ?

    • MT PLEASE DON’T INSULT BEMBA PEOPLE. IN SO DOING YOU DISGRACE YOURSELF. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BEMBA THIEVES. I AM A BEMBA AND I AM NOT A THIEF LIKE YOU

    • ba chewe naimwe you becoming emotional, equally in you there is hatred, bitterness and thats is why it’s always difficult for you to ignor Maestro’s posts.

  17. My president mr Sata thats a brilliant decision you have made.our focuss now is for 2011.Our party is still strong and more active than any other opposition party.Imwe bantu bushe ba Miyanda epo baba?

  18. Fide you are right Maestro is entitled to his opinion.But it shouldnt be that of showing hatred against one person.Always,ever since i head of this Maestro of yours. It has just been hatred against Sata even when he is not on topic. Point at a person who has always attacked HH here no one.Because we know that he is our leader although some are not Upnd.The other day he was even making funny of Sata being sick.Is that what you call being entitled to his opinion?excuse me give me a break mr.Your friend need to change.

    • Its like aba ba Kapoli,Maestro and the friends are not happy with there tribe.Bemba’s don’t insult HH.we have been saying all along that they should form a pact.What are they saying?infututu fye ba fi—-car-ler

    • Maestro, I don’t understand your unwarranted attack on me for simply pointing out the hypocrisy of people attacking YOU. I think it is you who does not understand English because I clearly said that the people attacking you for calling Sata uneducated do not complain when RB is insulted on this forum, which is hypocritical. Next time, learn to read and UNDERSTAND things clearly before reacting emotionally. I am not here to engage in the drama that obviously characterises debate on LT, but to simply keep up with Zambian current affairs and contribute meaningfully to discussions on the site.

    • You complain when Maestro speaks ill of Sata, yet no one sees a problem with people constantly insulting and denigrating RB on this forum. How hypocritical.

    • #26.2 Citizen , Yours is a very valid observation , we have called RB as nyama soya, HH as
      the political under five or small boy, Sata as under educate and many more derogatory terms
      so why be on each other `s necks when we are all the same . I think we are all tribalists
      at heart all we need is to find ways of co-existence , and live harmoniously .The tribal issue
      has been ,it is and will always be there for many generations to come

    • 27.2, on your “You complain when Maestro speaks ill of Sata” can you substantiate your claim! I case your English Language is limited, I will help you come to terms with reality. I use facts and unless you can PROVE otherwise then you are deceiving yourself.

      ba-shikulu Michael Chilufya Sata is an Undereducate because his level of formal education is Grade 6 or more appropriately Standard 4. So where is the “…Maestro speaks ill of Sata”? Baba, learn to call a spade a spade and cease to mistake it for hole. The two are very different. Due to this, I call Mr Sata as the Undereducate because that is what he is. Nothing more, nothing less.

    • On wiseman -reborn’s “we have called RB as nyama soya, HH as
      the political under five or small boy, Sata as under educate and many more derogatory terms”, I have just proved that Mr Sata MC as an Undereducate is nothing derogatory. To this end, let those characters who called our President RB Banda and UPND president HH with derogatory names like the ones indicated in the quote above PROVE that those terms are correct. To the best of my knowledge, such terms are bad because they have no truth in them. The Undereducate term is the best as opposed to Cobra or the one President RB Banda claimed was scaring him to use the nam Sata as he might make a mistake in using it. Stop using malice.

    • Maestro, I don’t understand your unwarranted attack on me for simply pointing out the hypocrisy of people attacking YOU. I think it is you whose English is limited because I clearly said that the people attacking you for calling Sata uneducated do not complain when RB is insulted on this forum, which is hypocritical. Next time, learn to read and UNDERSTAND things clearly before reacting emotionally. I am not here to engage in the drama that obviously characterises debate on LT, but to simply keep up with Zambian current affairs and contribute meaningfully to discussions on the site.

    • Citizen, while I APPRECIATED your trying to help the situation, is this “27.2, on your “You complain when Maestro speaks ill of Sata” can you substantiate your claim! In case your English Language is limited, I will help you come to terms with reality. I use facts and unless you can PROVE otherwise then you are deceiving yourself.” an attack on you?

      According to me, this was a challenge to you to substantiate your writing that “… Maestro speaks ill of Sata”. What “ill of Sata” do I have or have I shown. The facts about the Undereducate Sata MC are simply facts and not ill.

      So if you think the term Undereducate is an ill term on ba-shikulu Sata MC, please add more text to…

  19. we all know that the election was rigged! and that the courts are sorrupt and would never rule aganist the incumbent!

  20. Anyway PF is happy is a victor in another court case seeing that the expulsion of one F. Sinyangwe (Nanyangwe) has since been up held

    • It may seem to be a victory for PF ,however does this apply to the people of Matero constituency She was an MP for the people of matero regardless of political affiliation. It is also a loss for the women folk in Zambia . Still consider it as victory???

  21. I forgive all of you who have insulted me and said bad things.You are my brothers.God bless.As for Maestro,i just want him to realise that we are one people.And that such hatred against Sata is not helpfull to him.

  22. Maestro how far did your father go in education? Ulekwata umucinshi mwaice. The fact that we don’t know who your miserable father was does not mean your sorry father was better than Sata. Grow up for once.

    • “Two wrongs do not make a right” What you have written does not make you any different … I guess its two of the kind.

    • Cool, but leave these characters who are ill-motivated for me to deal with them. They think they will manage to make me insult them back. They are just wasting their time for I will NEVER insult any humna being let alone a Zambian who is my fellow country man or woman.

      Have a blessed day.

  23. We knew from way back in 1981 that SATA will end up a failure. How very right we were! Someone who makes a living out of a loud mouth is bound to fail. Alas, an old COBRA can hardly spit a quarter of the lenghth he once did.
    A COBRA who withdraws when all is clear about his impending loss is a coward. I refuse the withdrawal on the grounds that it is grounded on malice. Once to give an impression that he was right.

  24. Let us focus on the issue eh. The COBRA cant withdraw now. He has to prove that what he was on about was not out of malice and pettiness. This COBRA must respect the system not just choosing to waste Tax payers money by engaging in fruitless pursuits. How can we prove that he has some bit of care when he withdraws like this unceremoniuosly. No we the people of Zambia refuse his withdrawal.

  25. The honest truth is that his shameless supporters have given him a false sense of popularity. Cobra has been trapped by the scheme of his own vice. Delusion! The bubble has burst. Someone who has never seen COBRA would think that he was a such a stunner by listening to his cadres. The guy, sorry to say this, his nothing close to this. Look at the picture, the Jacket on him looks like a dry cassava tube wrapped in a banana leaf.

  26. SATA needs to count his own teeth before he considers chewing on the water monitors bones. Let him consider the cost of the journey aheard. I hope he wont be stopped by his supporters to stand for 2011 so that we could have another joyous occasion marking another loss. Dont advise him to quit you PF cadres. Let see how far he can spit.

    • what about HH.Iwe grow up.Tell HH to Form a pact with Sata.Do you think HH will win on his on?Why has Sakwiba formed his party?

    • HH can win if Sata steps down and stops splitting up votes. A lot of people vote for other parties simply to keep Sata out of power. Whatever the Post tells you, Sata only commands support in urban areas. If Zambia stands any realistic prospect of getting MMD out of power, let Sata step down and enable younger and more business-minded candidates like HH and Chirwa to run. Enough of this old crop of politicians. Don’t be fooled- Sata was part and parcel of MMD since its inception, until Chiluba stepped down. There is no ‘change’ he will be bringing to Zambia, apart from maintaining the status quo, and ensuring that he never leaves power.

    • I like your thinking 38. Let the PF cadres continue supporting the Undereducate MC Sata to stand for Zambian President in 2011 so that someone sensible takes over the leadership of Zambia. This is because I will personally make sure that all those who can be reached know that the Undereducate MC Sata has the sort of CV I am slowly making up from the news and contributions that bloggers are providing here.

      All the best PF and Undereducate MC Sata in hopefully wasting your time on the Zambian political scene as comedians.

  27. Ubulaya, Ubulaya
    Stop pretending that I am not telling you the truth. You will benefit more from my insight than relying on euphoric ejaculations of a cobra gone mad. Let us share and whisper together, can COBRA at this stage bring meaningful change. I saw those crazy companions of his wearing clothes that hang loosely on them almost confirming the thing that has always been known. PF is a party of looneys, just jokers.

    • Iwe first stop behaving like a child.we all know that Sata is old.But the man has wisdom.Advice is good than personal attacks.We should all come together and blog how we can move Zambia forward.What do you get from personal attacks.Fyabwaice

  28. The perfect delusion by a deluded maniac selling his goods to a deluded lot perfectly fitting the circumference of a banana boat. Whilst others are swimming along side, HORIBULAS is busy towing the line. Should I quit or not?

  29. The shameless SATA who dares to continue pretending to be crossing the ocean in a tiny bwato will not relent. Good for us, we have free comedy at hand at no extra cost.

  30. 3RqU
    Are you the gentleman with ‘word issues? Give up and join the winning team, it is not too late. The bwato is no submarine. It is either you swim or you drown. What is the point of being a loser all the time?

    • Nice comment 43. By the way, the Undereducate’s Imagebuilders THE POST are in trouble not only because of their recklessness over the Zambia Airways SAGA but because they have failed to provide a credible stand regarding the news that they report. To this end, 2011 elections will be relatively free of coaching by the POST to cause people to follow the Undereducate MC Sata blindly like it happened in the last two Presidential elections.

      Meantime, PF continue entertaining us with jokes and political commedy. I hope some careful cameramen will start producing a real movie of the comedy in PF.

    • But what has HH produced?? Stealing our money through privatization?? He is the next person to axe. Just waite.

    • I am waiting and all the best in your delusion about HH – for he wouldn’t have survived this long had he had anything criminal following his being in the opposition.

    • Baba, I do not care what pipo perecive or know. What is important to me is how the good Lord God looks at me. Your supposition is in your confusion and not elsewhere, my friend. later.

  31. you people, in zambia a sitting president cannot lose a petition. sata’s move is not about “avoiding further humiliation”. that is just stu.pid and partisan reportage by znbshi.t.

  32. BTW with all due respect, how did the COBRA force his crew to sacrifice so much? I wonder if they are getting any extra income after those deductions.

  33. This time around the hype was not there, nothing to push this man’s ego. The Kaponya has been wiser, you cant be escorting a loser all the time. Let him bare his own burden. Or is it the money bag has run dry, no chibuku to distribute, no free transport, no tangible promise with promisory ties?

    • Impressive thoughts. I think the Kaponyas have become wiser. They now have to keep their resolve to support the winning team – hopefully the U-Team – in 2011. The kaponyas and others promised that 2006, they would vote for the Undereducate MC Sata, but 2011 they will vote for president HH.

      I hope the Kaponyas and others who made that pledge will keep it alive in 2011.

      Zambia is surely ready to move forward in the real sense. Losers have to be left in their losing sense.

      Those who need prgress MUST thus go ahead.

    • Iwe Maestro,have you finished Studing?Education and perfomance is two different things.You can be eductated but still perform badly and the other way round is the truth.Learn to respect old people.I know you are not in Zambia at the moment.Were ever you are look at the people around you?They are proud about there country.Were does it leave you.Those manners of being a tribelist.You are not the only one with a degree.Grow up Kapoli

    • Who is not proud about his country here? What you are trying to write is exactly what I have been pumping in your heads but you are too engaged in tribal confusion that you can not realise that my intentions are to develop Zambia as One Zambia One Nation.

  34. The failure to simply engage strategists and tacticians, has costed PF a great deal. This all muscle and no brains approach is/was bound to fail. Personally, I find it unchallenging and boring to deal with this type of opponent.

    • 47, you have really made my day with most and not all of your comments. This is the time for us who have been to formal school to use the brains and available technology to show the Undereducate MC Sata and his PF the door disbanding they try. They arguably have made an impression on the Zambian political scen, but there time has to end now to pave way for real progressive thinkers to motivate all Zambians into working together as “One Zambia, One Nation” in development and unity.

      Insults and Insult-ants have to be eliminated from the scene so that real progress in economic development can ensue.

    • #47 If you really love your party UPND I would advise you to stop concentrating on Sata ,rather sit with your president and come up with solid strategies for 2011 .Honestly speaking HH lacks political acumen. I was an ardent supporter of UPND by then under the able leadership of Mazoka . HH has really destroyed the party . He wanted to ride on the popularity of Mazoka but he has lost it . Politics is about numbers don`t antagonize everyone with opposing views you will definitely have no sympathy.

  35. Anonymous respect yourself. What have you achieved in your life that can be compared to Sata for you to him a falure? You will never lead a big party like Sata with your education. As the young people and very educated we are behind Sata. Jelousy people!

  36. Chewe
    You are probably a young boy. Let me advise you, SATA was behind the third term bid, he has never had a single convention in his enterprise. In short, he cant be the positive person that is needed in the Presidency. The most likely reason you support him despite knowing these facts about him are your tribal ties. There is no other possible explanation. Please dont mention his ‘nurses uniform’ stories they are boring even for old men like us. If only you could talk about tangible evidence about his achievement, I would be listening but alas you and I know thatb there is absolute zero to talk about. BTW you show signs of serious delusion. To you SATA is a hero. That is one clue.

    • 51, not on “The most likely reason you support him despite knowing these facts about him are your tribal ties”, but probably are relative, say a son, who is hoping to be among the first family at State House should the Undereducate MC Sata make it to Plot 1 as Zambia’s President.

      The character, Chewe, thinks he can control a person on the Internet. What terrible delusion!

      To Chewe, check out the Zambian watchdog on the way its Editor could not accept to go to Mr Tentamashimba’s home for a private visit upon Mr Tenta.’s calling him using a cellphone or so to go there to clear the air about the alleged hospitalisation of Mr Tentamashimba. This is a time of Internet in the 21st…

    • My friend what is exactly your problem with Sata? May be you have some issues with him. Let us know so that we can understand you.

    • What is your problem with my use of truth about Mr Undereducate MC Sata’s CV? To help you have some light, the Undereducate is a menace to any democratic achievements Zambia has gained to this day. The Undereducate’s involvement in the full support of Mr Chiluba FTJ (Hon. Doc., Malawi) was extremely dangerous to the level of arming MMD THUGS to beat up any UNZA student at Kulima Tower, use machetes to knife my fellow Zambians in Lusaka’s Chawama compound. He also chased late Lt. Gen. C. Tembo and 21 others from MMD using MMD THUGS.

      Also, the Undereducate has continued to show his dictatorial tendencies that he had while in MMD, but not having a CONVENTION in his own PF political party.

    • With such bad un-democratic behaviour of the Undereducate Michael C. Sata, Mr Chiluba FTJ had to hand pick late former President LP Mwanawasa to led Zambia as President after running as MMD presidential candidate just avoid our great Nation from plunging into untold chaos had the Undereducate – then remaining powerful man in MMD after Mr Chiluba FTJ – succeeded him..

      Mr Chiluba FTJ had an option of letting things even go in favour of Mr Undereducate to succeed him but he used wisdom to save us a ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION.

      Thus, the gains in terms of democracy that Zambia has enjoyed through the able leadership of Mr Chiluba FTJ have to be safeguarded as we Zambians seek to make progress.

  37. Anyone who seriously thinks that SATA is Presidential material is suffering from mental incapacitation. Others have gone to the extent of comparing SATA to OBAMA. By every imaginable proposition, that is extreme. But then this type is also there. SATA can hardly understand what democracy is and how then do you go ahead and dare to compare him to OBAMA. SATA is busy blaming GRZ for the world economic crisis. That is very malicious and completly daft of him. But then, that is SATA for you.

    • On “SATA can hardly understand what democracy is and how then do you go ahead and dare to compare him to OBAMA.”, the Undereducate MC Sata does not even know what democracy is!

      How can the 71 year old man Undereducate MC Sata be any where near a democrat when he has never had a CONVENTION in his own PF since its inception in 2001 or so?

      Let us be serious Zambians. There is no need for dictators in the whole and Africa in general. Even communist China has some of leadership voting, and so why MUST Zambia that has made significant progress in being DEMOCRATIC surely install a person with the behaviour – of chasing people like late LT. Gen. C. Tembo from MMD – of chasing others…

    • Thanks baba though I do not have any Degree in English. The English Language I use is clearly an added value Grade 12 English. I have Degrees in Science – Physics – and Astrophysics and Space Science. So clearly, my English emanates from my Grade 12 and nothing more or leass.

      This is why I write is simple and succinct manner such that any Grade 7 and above level holder of a Certificate CAN understand.

      To my surprise, characters like Chewe – I wonder how he got to the USA – fail to understand my simple English Language. I just hope that the young man obtained a Grade 12 School Certificate.

      He English is appalling to an extent that he has managed to cause most people to become…

    • The people who follow Chewe have become tribalists using insults because they seem to trust him as he uses Bemba Language which they possibly understand better than English as they join him in a chorus without normally understanding why they are insulting.

      What a shame that you, Ubulaya, have become part of them.

  38. Mwebantu bakwa Lesa sure lets comment on the topic ifyo ifyama sambililo will take us nowhere.Why is it that dor the past few days we have been fighting each other instead of commenting on the issue at hand?Where is UBUNTU here.Most of you are in western countries Have you heard of pipo there talking about tribes? or being proud of there level of education.Awe bane lets unity naimwe lets not fight.Some of us we are beneficiaries of your knowledge that you display on this site nomba these days we are now learning how to attack other pipo and the use of vulgar languege. Stay blessed.

    Matworld

  39. Some people are evil !!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can you just hate someone like that? Maestro you hate Sata with a passion. Maestro, Mr Sata elder than you and probably elder than your father. And you father is just looking after the 3 finished cows in Sinazongwa. Have respect. Maestro you have a problem with culture. Sort out some issues within yourself.

    • On you r “Maestro you hate Sata with a passion. Maestro, Mr Sata elder than you and probably elder than your father. And you father is just looking after the 3 finished cows in Sinazongwa.”, thanks for your myopic sensation.

      My late father died aproximately 20 years ago – in December 1988. So you delusion and attempt to cause me to insult will not work for I NEVER INSULT.

      I do not even ACCUSE people of what they are not. I use available inforamtion which is TRUE to put up my analysis. So, have a great day in your useless.

      However, you are welcome to normalcy and it will help you not to suffer from mental or heart problems.

  40. Maestro can you remove yourself from here.You need to be taught how to behave and respect elderly people.With your education as you claim,never will you be a minister, own big houses in high cost areas,never will you infuence the educated and uneducated Zambians to follow you,even if you form a ka ntemba party.And i think thats what makes some of you characters not to understand Sata and hate him.What have you achieved so far that shows that you are educated? Documents? And Sata who is not educated houses, vehicles,buldings,a very big political party,married a doctor,been mp,minister,governor,president of a big political party.No wonder you hate him i see.

    • Chewe!

      On “,never will you be a minister”, are you a FALSE PROPHET? How do you know my future? Do you kow what the word “never” means? No wonder, you and your Undereducate MC Sata are both undereducates for someone said “birds of the same feathers always flock together”.

      Continue dreaming young man and stop behaving like a below 10 year old kid. You can do better.

    • On “Ubulaya says Iwe Maestro you have just made your name by critising Sata.Umona Mambala.”

      How? Please explain further!

      To the nest of my knowledge, I am not here to make a name. I am here to share truth and education to those who need it. Unfortunately, some characters have realised that they can not match my level of doing things and thus have taken a stand to insult me and try to make my name look bad.

      Interesting enough, they have found me as formidable as ever to curtail their bad intentions. For this reason, I have manage to cut them all to their size. I must make mention that there is only one character Shapulanga Banton (LLB) who made sense as he is quite well read.

  41. Martworld Nice guy we want to teach Maestro how to behave. He was not brought up properly and has to learn to respect big people.And thats what most tongas do.I have been close to tongas and i know that.

    • You see how tribal you are young man Chewe. You just wrote “He was not brought up properly and has to learn to respect big people.And thats what most tongas do.I have been close to tongas and i know that.” But you were trying to cheat people that you are not a tribalist, now look at yourself.

      KJV Bible:
      Proverbs 23: 7 for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:

      Later and kindest regards.

    • Maestro i have a strong feeling that today you have come to your senses.see how people look atyou,a tribalist.Come clean stop being childish and lets move forward.

    • You character, just do what you can. Many came with your spirit and have left me intact. Continue watching. Starting next week, by God’s grace, I will have time to teach most of you a lesson as my activities will relax.

      On your “.see how people look atyou,a tribalist.Come clean stop being childish and lets move forward.”, I do not care about what you or any other individual think of me. What matters is how the good Lord God looks at me. Enjoy being humbled by me with the experience that I have in teaching peopla and cutting them to their size.

    • Mr. Chewe, now you are being s t u p i d, if you have an issue with Maestro, sort it out. I wont allow shallow minded midgets like you to unsult the who Tonga tribe! Dont overate yourself, you dont know the other bloggers! why cant you grow up out of your tribal cacoon?

    • Please, Engine Bbuloko use restraint. This young man needs our help. And so, I would like to ask you to leave him to me. I will continue to teach him how to behave and with our good Lord’s help, he will come round.

      If you are able, please offer a pray for Chewe each day that pass. Have a blessed day.

  42. Maestro because of your pride and hatred God will bring you down. So that you learn how to be humble God humiliate the proud like you.People who have no regard for their fellow human beings.Through out the bible,God has always taught the proud like you a lesson.

  43. Maestro i meant that i have been close to tongas the are people who respect elderly people.Which i dont see in you okay.

    • Ba Chewe don’t be a light weight.Maestro has shown you that he is a tribalist.Forget about him and continue contributing your positve comments.

    • Chewe, your problem is that you do not think before you write or speak. Surely how can “Maestro i meant that i have been close to tongas the are people who respect elderly people.Which i dont see in you okay” and ““He was not brought up properly and has to learn to respect big people.And thats what most tongas do.I have been close to tongas and i know that” mean the same thing?

      What a dull Zambian of Bemba Tribe origin!

      Do you remember that I wrote to you that you have a ‘mental problem’? Don’t you now think the analysis was correct following your failure Chewe, to put your sentences together to delay a simple and straight message?

      Youngman, learn to hold yourself together…

  44. Seriously remove Sata from the equation. Is that going to make thhhhhhat party win? Why is the “undereducate” so obssessed with a man who has been coming out second all the last few elections?

  45. Maestro Hhehhehhehhe

    iwe maestro he he ….whatever your name is…uli chipumbu ichi…..
    why do you hate other people?

  46. Maestro the way God brings down the proud its terrible.You will hit your head on the ground with your legs up pointing into the sky.Change God is mercefull love your fellow human beings.

    • I will make sure he changes his attitute.ukulemba uchisungu ichisuma tekusambilia.He is just a coward.These People like Sata have done a lot for mother Zambia.They deserve some respect.Wena aletukana by saying Sata is uneducated.Tuletambafye.nnnoooo.Bane come on.Bonse pano twalisambilia.

  47. Micheal Sata vs HH, as I see it there are essentially the same ,they have one common trait, they thrive on divide and rule . Prior to 2001 Presidential and general elections Sata massively divided the MMD and people left . For HH from nowhere took the leadership of UPND following the demise of Mazoka the effect was evident the party become divided and many left. If any one of them were to become the republican President I don`t see any unity in Zambia ,their past will follow /haunt them .we need visionary young unadulterated persons for Zambia to prosper……..

    • The point is ,we should not limit ours choices to only sata and HH. Within the PF and UPND there are indeed people that can deliver,The problem is undemocratic tendencies , If you wish challenge the party president what follows is expulsion we have personalized the political parties . Its no difference from the UNIP mentality of KK on earth God in heaven

    • My friend , you are right politics is an art that has a practical approach very far from theory. It is not easy indeed ,anyhow nothing good comes easily it calls for great passion/love for the country to be a great leader .Having countless political parties is actually detrimental to democracy

  48. Has Sata stopped you dull educated people to be presidents? Why do you want to ride on his back. You hate him because he is wiser than you. HH is very far from Sata. Meastro the undereducated from the bushy village in ngwembe hates Sata as if it was Sata’s fault for maestro to be following cows while looking at their bottoms. Now after a good Samaritan gave him a diploma scholarship he thinks he is a professor. Dull undereducated meastrol. He hates bembas for no reason at all…..what a terrible Tonga southern province has produced. When he is not around there is peace on the blog…but when he comes , he comes with his stinking hared. Its a pity you were born in a human form.

    • Do you need reading spectacles. Check #64.2. My father was a GRZ worker who left enough money o see all his children through school. I am the last born and three of us have been through UNZA. The first born made it to Japan after UNZA for more studies. There rest went to college. All are working except me and my mother who retired from GRZ some time ago, maybe 1994. For any more information, shout or write to me on [email protected].

      Have a blessed day for I am off to do more useful work.

  49. Which college? Form 3s used to go to college in the olden days. And, yes if leaving money is a measure then Sata has more than your father ever had. Looks like your father was an “undereducate”. lol! College?

    • As for the college, do your research! I have given you enough information as of now. On “Looks like your father was an “undereducate”. lol! College?” Alright.

      By the way, I have worked in two different workplaces on permanent basis. I just stopped to continue with more school respectively as a way to upgrade my education.

      This is why I advise the Undereducate Michael Chilufya Sata to write Grade 7 exams this years and others like Grade 9 and 12 subsequently should he pass them successively.

      It is so exciting to change environments and jobs at one’s wish.

  50. Mwaice Maestro 64.2 and the response to 68.1 do not tally. Sorry if I have touched your little ego here. But hey!

    • You character. I am writing my report to be handed in on Friday 12 hrs. This has nothing to do with you touching my ego. I will alway do my best to help you come out of your confusion.

    • Submit more queries quickly before I get back to work. “Time is money” as someone put it. If you have nothing more in the next 5 minutes. I am simply doing this because, I endeavour not to leave a fellow Zambian who needs my help in the cold. Catch me next time or send email to [email protected] like I wrote earlier above.

    • Young man why didn’t you say? Go and do your report. But answer my questions tomorrow. Night night. Thanks for calling me that!

    • You character, it appears that the 5 minutes is over and so I am off and thanks for your understanding. You appear to have some sound senses than Chewe for you seem to comprehend issues.

      Have a great day and keep well.

    • Mr Maestro you didnt answer about the level of your fathers education. And how many people have you assisted as far as education is concerned? You are the chaps who keep talking about being educated but you cant even help your relatives in Choma with money for school shoes……………………..

    • Do you need reading spectales, Zambian Boy? Are you unable to comprehend simple English? If you have problems relating to the questions about, please ask someone to read the postings on LT for you.

      Have a great day.

    • Continue guessing my friend. I have done my part for many Zambians ans it is not for me to count how many they are. All I can write is that some are doing PhDs. Others could be in universities and the least is endless.

      On your rants on president HH, be advised that I am not a UPND member neither am I a relative to HH.

      Have a pleasant day.

    • Any more useful/pressing questions?

      I resubmit: Submit more queries quickly before I get back to work. “Time is money” as someone put it. If you have nothing more in the next 5 minutes. I am simply doing this because, I endeavour not to leave a fellow Zambian who needs my help in the cold. Catch me next time or send email to [email protected] like I wrote earlier above.

    • Surely Laugh Out Loud(er).

      You character, it appears that the 5 minutes is over and so I am off and thanks for your understanding. You appear to have some sound senses than Chewe.

    • You’ve been found out mwaice. You wanted to lie on the times. Thanks for letting us know your father was an “undereducate”. College! lol!

    • I dont need spectacles, I just didnt see your lie. You dont seem confident about the college. And answer my other issues. You are always talking about education. How many people have assisted in this regard? My guess is non,because you seem to be a very selfish Tonga chap always bragging about your education achievements with nothing to show. Do you know how many Zambians Sata the grade zero has helped to get decent education? Dont just talk. Even your hero, highly educated HH cant compare his achievements to Sata.H emight have the money but what has he done for the country? Last time I checked,it was just transforming companies like Grant Thornton into a Tonga Kraal………………..

    • Maestro Hhehhehhehhe says:

      I hope this is clear and easy to understand.

      Have a pleasant day.

    • Iwe chikamba you are replying when people are not bloging.You can’t silence me mambala.I have not joined anyone here.At least you have reduced the insults targeting Sata.Thats what i want Kapala.I will always use Bemba,Kapoli you are not even proud of your language.Abasungu balikuchita brain wash.you were not born with english language in your mouth kapala.So what if your brother is in japan?is he the first Zambian to be in Japan?walipwa sana mambala.

    • And he thinks its only his family were they have had 3 people pass thru UNZA. The problem is aba babwana lifontini. Umwana ashenda atasha nina ukunaya ubwali. As you put it UBULAYA 1, these are the chaps who cant even express themselves in their own language coz they are in Europe. He wants all the people on the blog to start explaining who they are. This is a blog. Shame on you. I repeat Sata has contributed to alot of people in education. Have you? Do you even know how much it costs to educate someone? No,beacuse you have never paid for someones school fees etc. You are such a useless person whose education is a waste!

    • Baba, you wrote “The problem is aba babwana lifontini. Umwana ashenda atasha nina ukunaya ubwali.” Funny, how you are confused within your delusion.

      How many countries have I been to? Since you like guessing like you wrote above, see if you can guess again!

      Who now is a fontini between you and me?

      Very shameful indeed for a big person like you to behave like this on the Internet!

  51. It simply means that we have lost confidence in the Judicial Sytem, its corrupt and manipulated by the Office of the President. Zambia needs a Hero, K****** instinct.

  52. OMG the penny has finally dropped.!!! I cant believe it’s taken this guy this long to realise that he was wastin time and money..

  53. Michael Chilufya Sata is the biggest moron of modern times!!! The only chaps who benefit from this bufoonery are the shady lawyers…

  54. maestro ndiwe chikali,u have killed people emotipnally,i have been reading all comments and came up with a conclusion….maestro u can defeat somebody emotionally lol

    • Muzungu, the mere mention of two things: SATA and CATHOLIC, sends Maestro wild like a porcupine under attack who exhausts himself but shooting at imaginary enemy. Maestro is foerver chasing after his own tail of education and DISTURBS EVERY CONSTRUCTIVE TOPIC under discussion. Watch the blog. Muzungu, this mere inconsideration, very uncommon among Zambians unless they are bordering on mental illness. Do you call this defeating someone… Misula fye abantu bakwete.

    • Thanks chief for the analysis. I am only here to teach these characters how to behave like normal human beings.

      Interesting enough, they are busy behaving like they a kids playing ichidhunu. Yaba, what a lost generation of big people. I am just wondering how their children will behave or behave if these characters can show such terrible insight in their upbringing.

      Continue enjoying the show as I bring them uncouth characters to realise that they need to visit psychologists to help them live a normal life.

      Later and all the best.

    • Its not about how many countries you have been to. The fact is uli fontini! You may be out of the village but………………………………….

    • Zambian boy, why are you then wasting your time on a fontini? It looks like your have trapped yourself in your own quagmire.

      Prove me otherwise, if you can!!

  55. Maestro you are full of yourself and behave as if you the center of wisdom on this blog. The mention of Sata’s name sends turbulences down your nerve system and you become hysterical. Have asked yourself why the so called undereducated, Stand 4 drop out always beats your educated HH pants down in the more affluent areas of Zambia? Why do the people in Lusaka’s Woodlands, Kabulonga, Makeni etc and CB’s Parklands, Riverside, Nchanga, Itawa, Kansenchi give the uneducated Sata landslide victories instead of your educated HH? Remember to be a leader you need wisdom which comes from God and not european theories. Check the Bible if you dispute

  56. SATA continues in Politics out of ego. His is power hungry and full of himself. What energy does he have to think that he could be useful as President? SATA is just a confused man who cant believe that fate had it planned that he will never be President. The many Bembas supporting him have given him a false hope. He will never win outside the areas he is popular. He is popular with a certain type. No matter how he tries, he will never win. He has no chance of ever becoming President.

  57. There is nothing valuable that SATA can add, absolutely nothing. This is a fact that cant be ignored. The vain undertaking of forcing a loser to win is just despicable, so unreasonable. Let him go and rest and hide from further embarrasment. He is too tired.

  58. The pain of the thought that a people can openely choose to support a fellow who has proved to be the most undemocratic, most violent, most unaccomodating Politician Zambia has ever had is just too much. How on earth can people support such a ruthless demon, who given a chance, will plunge our nation into utter chaos. How? The evidence of my assertions are so plain and yet somehow, there is a breed of Zambians who view SATA as an Angel. Surely we are extreme opposites with this type. We could be Zambians but not of the same blood and ideals. Utterly shocking!

  59. SATA has threatened people with violence so often, SATA was the chief supporter of the third term bid, SATA wielded machettes and Pangas in chiwama, SATA demolished poor peoples houses in kamwala in the middle of the rain season, SATA uses abusive language without restrain, etc.etc. How do some people see him as the right person? In sata I see a demon, others see an Angel? This is just shocking. Are his supporters his own children?

  60. The Don
    The reason Maestro is so incensed about SATA is because he sees clearly. SATA is not the type that would do Zambia good. SATA simply hoodwinks the poor and enjoys support from his tribes mate who dont stop to reason beyond the tribal tag. The same attitude that Shonas of Zimbabwe had towards thier Mugabe. As long as no Ndebele was close to the Presidency, they cared not what attrocities Mugabe committed and were ready to vote him as their leader. This type of tribalism is bad. SATA is by all possible means a clear villain, which assertion can easily be proved, but his tribemates urge him on.

  61. Among the last Presidential candidates, whilst none can be said to be perfect or innocent or credible enough, SATA was by far the worst of them. The type of tribal inclined politics exhibited by PF followers is what has led Zimbabwe to be were it is. The facts of SATA’s undemocratic tendencies are plain for everyone to see but this is besides the point for his minions who see tribe as the overuling principle to guage a candidate. Elections anywhere are a sign of freedom and the exercise of democracy. SATA has not allowed internal elections in PF. How cruelly it is to try and impose such an undemocratic person on the Zambian.

  62. The fight to put away such a person as SATA from ever becoming President is a noble one. For to do this is fight for freedom, for to do so is to say no to tribal Politics, for to do so is to fight against tyranny in time, for to do so is to be kind and benevolent. SATA is clearly not the type of President ZAMBIA needs. I do not ignore that that there are many who are sincere Zambians who yet support SATA. THEY DO SO WITHOUT SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING THE IMPLICATIONS! They pay too attention to the realities of the rotteness of ths possible despot and tyranny. They listen long to his funfare rhetoric almost like bewitched zoombies completely under the sway of his craft.

  63. The irresponsible tribal support rallied behind him is shameful to say the least. I would expect that at least, even if tribal ties were to be a factor, a sense of patotism to good virtues would over ride. Yes he may be a tribe mate, but look at his language and his past ploys. What possible explanation would be given for a proponent of a third term bid? What possible reason could be given to overlook dictatorial tendencies to justify such a person candidature for Presidency? Shouldn’t reason over rule in these equations? Most if not all bloggers who support SATA are Bembas and dont hide this fact! The point at SATA without questioning his integrity.

  64. The sheer tribalism involved in the support of SATA is pathetic. These are questions best answered as an individual. Most PF’s are Bemba and do not hide this fact or deny this fact. PF is mainly CB, LUAPULA AND NORTHERN PROVINCES. The influx of the miners into LUSAKA URBAN explains the support there, but it is not overwhelming. The Bembas are a single majority and this does have an effect on population distribution. Bembas are likely to be found in more places in Zambia than any other tribe. But that does not in any way mean that they must impose a President on us. Any right thinking person, including a Bemba will agree with this.
