RB is not obliged to release letter – Shikapwasha

Share

ronnie_shikapwashaGovernment says President Rupiah Banda is not under any obligation to Patriotic Front leader Micheal Sata to release the letter he referred to when he addressed MMD cadres that marched to State House concerning former Minister Ng’andu Magande and Zambian Airways.

Chief Government Spokesman, Luitenant General Ronnie Shikapwasha, said in a statement obtained by ZANIS this evening, that President Banda is not also going to work on threats or ultimatums because the truth will come out after investigations into Zambian Airways have been concluded.

” When the President talked about a letter written by former Finance Minister in which he was proposing to have Zambian Airways bailed out by the Government, he had carefully studied the whole issue and had information other than was just contained in the letter,” said Lt. General Shikapwasha.

Lt. General Shikapwasha is also Information and Broadcasting Minister said President Banda is aware of the circumstances surrounding the Zambian Airways saga.

He explains Mr Banda had followed up the whole issue and was just pushed to the extent of talking about the letter by those purpoting that he was deliberately resisting to help the embattled airline or that he just wanted to demonise the former minister (Mr Magande).

He said that some people had even gone as far as suggesting that the President and his government was plotting to arrest those connected with the Zambian Airways indebtedness.

” It is, therefore, unacceptable for the Patriotic Front leader or any other person to start issuing ultimatums or threats because that is not the way the President operates,” said the government spokesman.

He has challenged Mr Sata to release the letter,since he says he has the letter and has already shown it to the Post newspaper, as long as he is satisfied that there will be no security or legal implications.

Lt General Shikapwasha urged the PF leader to realize that Mr Magande is not a PF member for his issues to be dealt with by the opposition party.

He suggested that the PF leader should leave the issue to the President and the Movement for Multiparty Democracy to handle.

” Moreover, Mr Sata should not mislead people about the oath of secrecy because he is fully aware of what it involves,” said the chief spokesman.

He explains that when Vice President George Kunda made reference to the oath of secrecy, he was merely stating what is contained in the law, which Mr Sata knows very well.

He said If Mr Sata as former Minister knows how far he can go with the oath of secrecy even now that he is out of office, why should he portray the Vice President as intimidating former ministers.

The law is clear that all who have sworn the oath cannot divulge government confidential information even after leaving office, he said.

    • I thought we’ve already seen it… Surely that is the reason he is not obliged! That’s what we call a preemptive strike on the case… The last time I checked the president was standing on an anthill saying he had evidence on Magande… Now he is reluctant… Yabaa!

    • You are very right, can our Leaders be level headed and focus on real issues in the country than petty name calling.

  1. Ba Ronnie we have seen that letter already. If RB knew better he would have waited or kept mute about the letter. I think the Zambian Airways is the scandal of 2009!

    • But no told RB to start talking about letters. Why accuse people of stealing? Prove to us that it is true. You announced publicly so you must also show it. Shika dont think u can talk anyhow REASON

  2. I thought we’ve already seen it… surely that is the reason he is not obliged! That what we call a pre-emptive strike on the case… The last time I checked the president was standing on an ant-hill saying he had evidence… now he is reluctant… yaba!

  3. Hhe hhe hhe hhe? so it appears that the letter LT put up on here was the one President RB Banda was suggesting when he talked to the MMD cadres at the juncture he dropped Mr Shakafuswa and Chibombamilimo following ” When the President talked about a letter written by former Finance Minister in which he was proposing to have Zambian Airways bailed out by the Government, he had carefully studied the whole issue and had information other than was just contained in the letter,” said Lt. General Shikapwasha.”

    What other information does the President RB Banda have about the alleged Mr N. Magande bailing out of ZA. Let the President make sure that they is no malice on Mr Magande but…

    • The current approach by President RB Banda of trying to crash Mr N. Magande’s presidential ambitions under the MMD in 2011 is wrong. Let him, President RB Banda, use the advice by yet to be expelled from Parliament MP Shakafuswa not to treat Mr N. Magande as an enemy but a partner in developing Zambia.

      Let those with ear hear.

    • I think he has, but he seems to be too much in need to lead Zambia as President after 2011 for his second term.

  4. Ah Mr.Shikapwasha tell the president not to worry about releasing the letter we saw it already on LT, its interesting that note the president says he has “other ” evidence apart from the letter.hmmm isn’t it because Zambians have seen the letter and we feel Magande is innocent?Could the Zambian govt please concentrate on developing the country and not harassing people with different views from them!

    • RB came out like Sherlock Holmes shouting that he has evidence. “I have evidence, I have evidence” Now we are being told not to get excited, what nonsense. RB if you are going to lie about something have a concrete plan, dont come out looking like a hero when you are not.

      The Zambians and the international community have seen that Magande is innocent, end of story!

  5. He may not be under obligation to do so by Sata individually but he is under an obligation to release the letter to us the people of Zambia especially the ones who supposedly voted for him.What was he thinking of when he was being sworn in?This is not a private matter concerning his farm but a very important issue.

    • Hola greatings. Following your comment, I would just like to write that it is possible the PF leader Undereducate MC Sata saw or heard about my comments that I required proof of President RB Banda’s assertion that he had proof of Mr N. Magande’s wanting to let ZA go away with the debt it owes the GRZ through its institutions and also other Creditors. On “He has challenged Mr Sata to release the letter,since he says he has the letter and has already shown it to the Post newspaper, as long as he is satisfied that there will be no security or legal implications”, let the President and his Administration just give us the latter and other evidence associated to it instead of thinking we are…

    • Oh come on Maestro Sata has been there years before you were born.Do you even recall how he would bring up scandals about KK and UNIP during those campaign rallies.Everyone feared KK but they believed that once Sata got the news it would be in the Post.Now coming to the issue at hand,RB started his own fire when he addressed those MMD cadres at state housetelling them about firing ministers.He says he is cleaning up the house,well, for his own smooth exist I suppose.

    • Maestro. If education was a panacea to good governance, and probably moral standards, I wouldn’t like highly educated chaps such as RB to be my president. In short Sata is not educated to your personal standards but he is very practical and we can at least point at so many of his deliverables of which if you live in Zambia am sure you are enjoying the facilities. So, Mr Highly Educated if I send my Zambia today with her qualifications, can you employ her in your company?

    • Thanks Peter for shouting, but sorry your question is not making sense. Could you please, re-submit it this time in a clear manner! Also, give examples of how practical your Undereducate PF leader bashikulu Michael Chilufya Sata has been to Zambia especially naming your alleged information that I may be enjoying some of his facilitated activities.

    • “Thanks Zambianwatchdog. we really now have serious alternatives to the POST whose main agenda is to impose the Undereducate Mr MC Sata and his PF on the Zambian people”.
      You are just a sick child. You have inferiority complexes because of where you come from. Be a proud Zambian, the Post is run by people who can also make mistakes. You are a bit childish in your comments. maestro mu dustbin( Bemba translation)

    • In your words “( Bemba translation)”, what do do I have to write? You have shown already who you are and what you are up to! Later.

  6. We have already seen the letter but iam concerned by Sata, Is magande PF or MMD for him to be so vocal? why not other opposition like HH.I feel Sata is overstretching his arms even to the extent of poking into other party’s business.

    • Try shipfting your concern to this current governments gorvernance, Sata obviously draws hatred to himself because he is amoung the few realists who will always want to call a spade a spade. Once a person is sworn in president,his duties are beyond partisan concern. He addressed his carders concerning a former govrnement servant,whatever that man did is part of every zambians concern.
      Try forcusing on important issues “Sharp Shooter” This is an issue beyond MMD

  7. kuyamba vintu muma yamba bwino ,
    ayo ma facts ayo, there was a time Chiluba was told that you he was a thief,he became angry and persued the culprits.Time caught up with him and he cried like a baby in court, i thought leaders lernt a lesson from that.Any thing done out of malice brings out the truth and many issues which one wishes they should have never come out ,comes out.Lelo lelo.

  8. What amazes me is that this idle govt has got all the time in the world to address their cadres and shield their dodgy ministers but when it comes to important issues they are stuck.

  9. Yes General you have stated your point ! He is The President with absolute powers ,no obligation whatsoever.I thought Gen you would brief us on your plans for kabwata constituency whose residents have impassable roads and blocked drainage,how about the fate of njanji train that is partly in kabwata constituency , yet still construction of Lusaka general Hospital that LPM had envisioned would be operational by 2010. sorry bloggers these are important issues to me than Magande letter for now in Zambia

  10. #12 Also this Ronnie does not care about his constituency as long as he sticks to his job even if it is blind loyalty.

    • Blind royalty indeed , he only comments most of the time when the president `s errors are exposed . He rarely gives an up date on govt projects ,say construction of hostels at UNZA, what is the progress?

    • Hola.
      Hello, in the first place.
      These are general with no moral principles at all. I even wonder which war they fought to deserve such titles. Compare Gen. Michael Jackson (not the singer) of Britain withNakapwasha or is he Shikapwasha. If you have listened to Gen. Michael Jackson, would know who a general is supposed to be. Fearless (I don’t mean arrogant, but standing for the truth), with moral principles, respectable and even loved. Our generals only lick the uusses of their pay masters.

  11. Yaba..MMD with its people. Whre are we going. Its like tulebuta in Zambia. I cant see any seriousness in the MMD. Awe bane!!!!

  12. The best you can do you clowns is to improve prison conditions because that might be your final destination before you kick the butcket!

  13. Shikapwasha and your friends leave my president alone.Mr Sata just want the Zambian people to know that Magande is innocent.

    • The Undereducate has also invited Mr Ng’andu Magande to join PF in order to imagebuilder it and this is the more reason the Undereducate thinks he will con Mr Magende to join is divided Party of roughly 19 non-rebel MPs and about 20 rebel MPs that, according to the Secretary General Mr Likuku (Sp.) of the newly formed LPP party, will defect to the Leftist Progressive Party soon.
      All the best PF as looming disintegration of the Patriotic Front becomes a concern.
      2011 tripartite elections, here we come!

    • He is one of the undereducates thats smiring this blog with his ignoramus,exponentially decayed mental state,we need a huber hencky or perhaps a von mises criterion to help investigate his retarded mental state.if he was an equation,he will definately have a trivial solution.

    • if maestro was a plane of bending,definately he will be the weak axis,and will of course experience buckling ,lateral instabilities and all sorts of plastic deformations.His brain has already yielded,it has reached a collapse mechanism that is similar to a 3 hinged frame,thats the reason he is lame in all his analysis.If he was a material definately he will be plastic.If we differentiate Maestro squared to the power HH,the solution will be a redundant.And if we intergrate the Logarithm of Maestro with respect to UPND,the solution is INGNORAMUS.

    • Thanks all. I use touch typing and I am under pressure to finish my THESIS as soon as possible so that I can go back to Zambia and contribute to National development . Next week, I will be in a better shape.

      Have a great day.

    • Ba Chale,

      Thats the letter we saw a few days ago that was in form of a fax…what other letter is Shikapwasha trying to hide…does anyone know?

  14. Giving an ultimatum to the President, my foot, what a country!
    From rigging to election petition, vote recount, suddenly no petition, today it’s an ultimatum. I did not know that talking is nutritious!

  15. By the way let’s not allow one Post story to disappear without comment. It must be buried properly. Saturday post “misquotes” Kopulande and Mpondela of disowning the President. They protest and challenge the post to listen to the ‘Let the people talk’ interview. Sunday Post retracts the story and quiotes extracts from the interview. The obnoxious words are now correctly attributed to Fraser Siwale. These words by Siwale are general and trace Zambia’s economic problems to 1972, and that over the years various leaders have not addressed them. The problems are not attributed to any specific leader over this period of time. Just a patriot’s concern and advice…

    • M’membe is dirty and stinking.He has even tarnished the image of a lawyer of impeccabe honesty and integrity in Nchito.M’membe should just join the political arena instead of assulting his opponents using the Post.He edits the paper like a Dictator.

    • Maestro,Point taken,its just that M’membe has lost his objectivity and uses the Post as a weapon to discredit his opponents which is not fair.

    • Siwale does not attribute the problems to any specific leader. The post would have us believe that the comments of the panel were condemning President Banda. The Sunday Post retracts the story and credits the words to Siwale, but when you read the retracted story, there is not even a faint reference to President Banda. It seems president mmembe is so obsessed with the President that whenever he sets out to write an article in his post, he impulsively writes about RB. Surprisingly, president mmembe did not even use the retraction to apologise to readers and Mpondela, Kopulande about the “inadvertent” reference to RB. If you need any evidence of gutter journalism this is a classic.

  16. Iwe obsever Sata is the man.He doesnt fear anyone.He speaks what is right and can even give an ultmatum.Men with the back bone of iron.

    • The Undereducate does not always speak the truth for me. He simply jumps on the occassion to try and make a name whether he does not even deserve any praises. About all, I havent forgotten about the money that was confiscated from him in South Africa. When is he briefing the Nation on the 20000 or so dollars that the South African Authorities got from him? Such is truth I need to know from the PF unelected since 2001 self appointed leader Standard 4 or equivalently Grade 7 Undereducate Bashikulu bantu MC Sata.

    • If yapping at everything is a sign of effective opposition and manliness, God help us.
      Are you sure the man’s mental health has not been affected by the consecutive election defeats? Before it’s too late please say so, we can always send him to RSA for treatment. He is a national leader and hero to some people, remember?

  17. MMD will have seroius divisions if they continue fighting each other for power. All we need is development; good roads, adequate agric. inputs delivered on time, market for our produce, training in various skills, education, water, good health for the poor that put you in office

    • What could be more succinctly said , than what you have done …there is a saying that sticks and stones will break my bones ,but words will never hurt me . A great leader never gets agitated by words because he understands his position as commander in chief .we lack such a one in Zambia

    • there is a letter from ‘senior citizen’ in Sunday Post about a song by the Beatles ‘Nowhere Man’.

  18. Ba Sharp Shooter and Chewe Nabonse pa site how are you?

    Awe ine ama politics yamu Zambia yalangunfwisha ulesi.Have a lovely time guys! Later.

    • Maestro you beg people to be using palatable language on LT.What about you?Don’t you think calling Sata undereducated is Palatable language?How will you feel if i called your father or mother undereducted?To us it is an insult.You should also start respecting others.

    • On ” Ubulaya 1 says:
      March 15, 2009 at 11:45 pmMaestro you beg people to be using palatable language on LT.What about you?Don’t you think calling Sata undereducated is Palatable language?How will you feel if i called your father or mother undereducted?To us it is an insult.You should also start respecting others.” provide proof on your claims.
      On calling my late father or mother as undereducated, please go ahead. It will NEVER affect me especially because they both reached college and had professional jobs at their respective times.
      My mother is now a business woman after serving in the GRZ civil service on permanent basis for about 30 years. So, go for it if it will help you!

    • By the way, she (my mother) is just below 70 years old and has enough property which she operates as business ventures. She is also helping in running an SDA Church pre-school. She is normally holding some position in the SDA Church like Docus Leader or Head Deaconness, etc.

      I hope this CV is enough for you to bring her in the political limelight where she is not seeking any political office like that of President of Zambia!

      Have a blessed day and all the best in your endeavours.

  19. Do these politicians think we are all undereducated? Do these politicians know what time it is? Do some of them use the internet to see such sites like LT!! Sometimes I feel we are more informed than they are. Even if RB is not obliged to release the letter, it is enough for the people to know that there is one. We saw it already at LT a few hours ago. What ever RB and friends are up to, it surely smells like fish. Politics can make good hearted people turn into liars and marionettes. No wonder it is a dirty game. RB should address matters that affect the people today and not this dirt of letters. His time is running out and he will be remembered by many as one who goes where the wind blows.

  20. RB if you can not stand for something, you will fall for anything. Please restrict the precious time given to you by the people, to address matters that will help us come out of this economic crunch. Time is money and it surely is the tax payers money that is gong to waste. Our leaders just never learn. They behave like their own cadres running the streets as if development comes from being talkative. Zambia needs a leader with less words and more action. Show the people that you as a leader have the power to change the lives of many and not just sacking your ministers whenever they criticize you.

    • I will NEVER stop calling the Undereducate Mr Michael Chilufya Sata as an UNDEREDUCATE until he obtains a Grade 12 School Certificate as long as I live following your “I have no interest in your mamas C.V.Just stop calling Sata undereducated Maestro.Uleunfwa Kapala.”
      To this end, just learn to live with it as the Undereducate MC Sata has at most about 6 years of classes to do before he get a Grade 12 certificate.
      However, if the Undereducate MC Sata is clever like some character on here LT purport he can break a record by passing the Grade 7 exam this, Grade 9 one next year and Grade 12 one in 2011 – roughly 3 years. I thus wish him the very best in this activity for it is the only…

    • … way he will stop being an Undereducate.
      All the best in your Bemba Language insults, although I am of the view that you give them up as their are not helping you. By the way, some characters who came to me vehemently with your similar attitude have left me standing. In fact, I have alomst single handed end the Bemba Tribalism by most Bembas on here as they have now started respecting the Tonga people.

      Later when you will write sensible stuff.

    • iwe Maestro naiwe. Musa kaka wa tu sebanya. Ulemu a yebo. I can assure you this thing is going to reflect in your space one day either through your own children who will say the same to you. Behaviour breeds behaviour.

    • You r a very miserable person. U & ur family r failures in life thats why you have this inferiority complex of always talking about your qualifications. I bet you they do not exist but in the figment of your imagination. I heard u r a church leader? Ha! I scorn the church u go to. Shame on u and your church u dustbin-ngungulu. Just know that there is nothing special about you, though u r full of self praise. What does the Bible say about people like u? Read it again & reform or go to Hades where u belong u devil

  21. If Ronnie is refering to the letter that has been doing the rounds on the internet then he is a very ignorant man. I suppose the internet has not yet arrived in Shikapwashaland! How can he be talking about security implications when the letter is already in the public domain?

  22. iwe maestro you will never silent me.Am proud of my language.ngolefwayafye naiwe ulelemba mu chi tonga.Who is a tribalist you or me?You should contribute positevely not personal attacks mambala.Iwe ukaukulika,you taken this blog as your personal blog.If i have time nakulayafwako ba Sata.Waumfwa.You are proud by saying you have silensed people like me.Kwi?Balikusula.Wechikupo umwabula amano.

    • Now SDA elder Maestro turns into a usless Chikopo acording to Ubulaya… SDA elder receiving what SDA church teach… disrespect for elderly people.

  23. It is wrong to think that its only Tongas who are tribalst. The Bemba are the worst, i can give a lot of examples if you want.

    • I think Bembas are not tribalist. They are just suffering from a problem of low self esteem. It comes out as tribalism but it is low self esteem. Lozis have that as well. Tongas are mad. Nyanjas are ridiculously naive. No one is perfect.

    • Please never mention the royal clan where Kings are born The LItunga Mulena .This is a serious taboo .Don`t bring the LOZIs into this .

    • The Herbalist says: it will be very prudent that You do not mention the name LOZI .Your lack of intellectual abilities should not be shouldered by the LOZIs ask , KK, ask Chiluba . Please don`t awake a peaceful Lion ,it will cause unceasing words of acrimony more than maestro and your sata will be be reduced to trash..

  24. This man Shikapwasha has really suprised me. This time around most people who have access to internet have read Magande’s letter, but our Minister of information doesn’t know that and has not been advised. Nyama soya will not release that letter to the press coz he has just realised that he made a premature anouncement. Blowing the trumpet before reading the letter. What a president pa Zed?

  25. All of a sudden RB has more evidence than what was contained in the letter, then why the emphasis on the letter. Give us a break! just come out in the open and say you wanted to demonize one of the best Finance Ministers Zambia has ever had. Seriously why go to such an extent when we all need people like Magande with integrity and the knowledge of what it takes to build a country.

    Give us a break and just resign on moral grounds!

  26. Just Comment on the topic ifyama tribes panse if you have no comments its better you leave the site for greater thingers to comment like Ihave done. Mind yoou in heaven there wont be things like “God I was a Tonga or Nyanga or Bemba”.Have a good day everyone.

  27. There is no letter, so definately SHREK & MMD are eating humble pie. Please do not rush in matters of this nature. Magande is a very mature person & would not have made his hands dirty. Thats why he said he will be happy to assist the investigative team with what he knows & would be glad to be shown the perported letter so that he can see if it was authored by himself!

  28. Hahaha,iwe Maestro you even vow never to stop calling Sata undereducated? I asked you to show me what you have achieved with your useless education and you failed.I told you what Sata has achieved which you wont in your entire life. Sata doesnt even know you and he will never,because you are no closer to where he is. God will punish you with your hatred and jealousy.

    • Chewe you are right. Wha ever education level MCS may have, he has surpassed even PHD holders. He is married to a prominenent medical doctor, he does not lick any bodies boots to make a living. He went to UK without any body’s assistance. To me I dont know what this Maestro want from any one. By the way in my town we had 2 masters holders who died as destitutes- found dead on the street.

    • Yayaya…another punch from Deja….the SDA elder is at the receiving end. He will die destitute with his PHD..holalaaaaaa.

    • SDA elder maestro being punched by chewe……yayaya…what a punch to the respected SDA eldel maestro…there we go again

  29. You see now, ubufi bwakwa Nyama Soya. There he was playing to a silly mob of unintelligent MMD Party cadres by claiming he had a letter Magande wrote wanting to drop Zambia Airways debt. Since the letter’s publication has shamed him, “Two Chicken” not is lying that Nyama Soya has more to the letter!

  30. Imwe mwebanto is there nothing better for Zambian politicians to be talking about apart from Zambian airways, who got fired, who is corrupt, etc. Am I the only one who is getting tired and bored by all this nonsense? Please I beg oohh!

  31. ” When the President talked about a letter written by former Finance Minister in which he was proposing to have Zambian Airways bailed out by the Government, he had carefully studied the whole issue and had information other than was just contained in the letter,” said Lt. General Shikapwasha.
    Mr. Shikapwasha, we have already seen the letter. I didn’t find anything sinister in it. Unless RB has another letter in addition to the one we read on LT, the other information is plain hearsay. Very funny, hhe!hhe!,hhe!

  32. Typical crap from the Government. There is no other letter, it is all politics. Zambian politics is a joke. Now in a 360, bloggers please stick to the story at hand tribal bashing has never been productive anywhere in the world. ONE ZAMBIA, ONE NATION!!!

  33. Maestro what have you achieved so far?documents and insulting Sata on LT.when a person is educated there must be something to show that.And Sata has achieved a lot i told you that he has been a governor,mp, minister,he has buldings,houses in high cost areas,vehicles,he is brilliant and president of the strong opposition party in Zambia. You just documents which we all have.

    • I have also failed in my humble way of educating the so called educated Maestro that education is not the end in life, but wisdom which unfortunately is not taught at any University i can think of. Bill Gates is not so educated, Zuma will be President of RSA soon. This Maestro guy hates Sata like no ones business. Maestro, just look at how Prof Lungwangwa, much as he has taught at UNZA has failed to run the Education Ministry. RB who has a degree in economics is umusebanya fye to the well being of Zambia. His supporters like Sondashi awe kwena katwishi. So what is this noise about education. KK with his teaching qualification is no match to our Lawyer or Economist Presidents.

    • Ala bane limbi uyu muntu alilwala chipumputu.He hates Bembas so much that it always comes out on Sata. Honestly how can you start exposing your personal info on the blog? Its my education,my parents went to college,my parents worked in the govnt………………..There are people on this blog with better things to show off but they dont because it is irrelevant. But ili shilu doesent know that even some people he went with to school and did not excel may be more successful than him in life.At one time he mentioned that he is a leader at church. Is he telling us all his members at this church are highly educated. And if not how does he interact with those with the less qualifications?

    • Elder meatro continues receiving punches for is hatred. He leads a church where all the saints have PHDs . So they alone are educated. Hollala elder maestro…..

    • Continue guessing and making accusations. I will also continue giving you nothing but the whole truth. I do not believe in hiding information. If it makes you uncomfortable too bad for you.

  34. Banda has now been shamed,it’s unfortunate for Shikapwasha as govt spokesperson that he has to defend the indefensible.That letter we saw on LT seems to be authentic then coz now Shika says Banda has got information more than what was in the letter but that must be hearsay that Magande wanted to do this and that,the letter by Magande sums up everything,they are trying to come up with trumped up charges as usual,they want to get rid of competition for Banda since elections are just round the corner but it seems Banda will get more isolated from the electorate which is good so it’s time for a new political party to hit the nail in the coffin as Sata & HH are not good alternatives anymore.

  35. 😮 Ba Shikas, do your best as our servants instead of feeding us with wrong data everyday. We are tired of your political games. Develop Zambia

  36. Banda is sorting out all who challeneged him for president so “Two Chickens” is just running scarred ati Nyama Soya antemwe. Atase, kuli stoogerer ta ba mwisho aikona ai”.

  37. Small minds discuss petty things, great minds discuss great ideas and plans. I may not know some people personally but i can tell from what they say, write and do who they truly are. just like i can tell how shallow the current govt has proved itself….quick to discuss petty issues amidst several crises in the country (poverty, jobs, food, inflation , corruption) the list goes on & on. all the best MMD

  38. Michael Sata has over trivialised Zambian politics by always talking about things he doesn’t understand. Why did he keep quiet when Mwanawasa plucked off RB from the bush? Now that RB has gotten where Sata has failed to get he is so filthy. Ba Sata na mutulukusha pafula, tusheni. You been preaching for too long, your message has not been taken. You were in UPP, UNIP, MMD, and now PF. I was 10 when I started hearing about you, now am 50. Bashikulu nimwebo mweka? At least VJ enjoys under every president but you are always barking. In Tonga we say the rain that thunders doesn’t fall. Izuma taiwi. Mwabosa pafula. Ata ni kukwiya baambo.

    • I feel relieved to note you are an old Man relative to my age .I was almost believing in MPD ( Multiple Personality disorder ).Though your renditions do not march your age .What have you done for Zambia? Any aspirations for political office .Obviously not in academia ,your language not so befitting . What are you ? coincidence ? definitely strange than fiction.

  39. Maestro Hhehe…….There is a big difference between INTELLIGENCE and WISDOM. Sata may not be educated but he is wise. If you were to ask me to choose one, I would rather be wise than intelligent

    • Zimandandola. Never argue with a a fool, bloggers might never know the difference. This guy believes intelligent people have to have degrees etc. He cant prove anything here because all his attacks on people are ‘cow-related’ He is just a tribalist period !

    • The fight is on..SDA elder maestro Mwinga Mungungulu being told to chose wisdom than intelligence. Is it correlated to his sir name Mugungulu = Rubbish? Implying the SDA elder lacks wisdom. So the elder is misleading the PHD holder-church members. Here in terraces we are waiting for more punches….yayayaya…the elder is bleeding.

    • These words are interchangeable, only those who do not understand them we say they are very different. Obama is intelligent and not wise, oblige me. Sata is not intelligent but wise. You have to be both, you can’t be one and not the other.
      Refer to the Thesaurus.

    • #57.3 What ever your true identity is ,your thinking is snobbish . Intelligence and wisdom are not synonymous . In psychology intelligence is defined as an ability to: 1. adapt (2) think in abstract concepts (3)interpretation ,Mathematically it is an integration of mental and chronological age interplay( called IQ). Wisdom is a fluidly term that has no measurable unit.
      Please do not confuse the masses.

    • Awe ndifye bwino. Get those exams right so that we can show N’gombe Illede the way forward (Joking). Just go through the comments, he has been featuring like always. Kuti wapena nga wamukonkelesha. :-j

    • A mocking- punch from Jamico lands SDA elder Maesro Mwinga Mugungulu = Rubbish. Jamico doest want to go closer to him because maestro mental capacity is sick and very contagious. Jamico nga bamusuma kuti apena. Jamico is advised to keep quiet good distance when throwing blows. The spectators are jeering now.

  40. Maestro has great points when it comes to SATA. It is not surprising that he a single man can take on all the hordes of Bembas.

  41. Maestro has really clobberd sata. He tells the truth with all humbleness when it comes to sata’s issues. Someone mentioned that sata is wise?@*! Are we in the same planet sure. a wiseman will not insult and lose so often. If sata is wise, then we have a big problem.

  42. I dont know of any other Politician who has lost so many times as SATA. If that is to do with his wisdom, then kaya? I soti wisemen are winners? The cleverness of monkeys is in their agility, not in their brains.

  43. I have seen monkeys rampage a maize field at will. For some that is cleverness. I have serious issues with that kind of thinking.
    I have seen how noisey monkeys can be, just to get a single maize cob. If noise making can be a guage for wisdom, then by every reason, SATA is wise.

  44. Sata has even become deformed in stature in pursuit of the Presidency. 2001 clobbered. 2006 uyo clobbered again, 2008 KO. By extrapolation 2011 flatfaced beaten again. Even if ni stamina, si so. He wants to break his own records.

    • Ba Limbwe you follow the wrong Data.Are you surporting Maestro to be calling Sata Undereducated?Thats our point with fellow blogers here ,we want respect especialy to our leaders.Kansi naimwe tata mulichiwelwele.They say never give up.Sata he is just trying.You can also try if you want.

  45. With that kind of resiliance, SATA would have been a Professor in academia. Now he is a Politician. The unfairness of fate. What did he do to deserve this kansi?

  46. I just think that Micheal must somtimes keep quiet.Speaking for myself he is an irritant most of the time. You do not want to entrust presidence in such a man.It seems to me he is involving himself in matters that are above his head.Magande and his boys are definitely not clean on this one.The caliber of Sata may not be able to see this.He must consult the many free lawyers he has around him to help him understand the intricacies of of this matter before the sharp boys miuse him dirty. and then damp him like ………….. Mwebeshikulu babo please advise him to put his fingure on the lips twanaka nabo ala !!
