Mpombo failed to organise the party in the copperbelt-Teta

Share

teta2MMD Spokesperson, Ben Tetamashimba, says the resignation of Defence Minister, George Mpombo, from Cabinet and MMD as chairman for energy will not threaten the ruling party.

Mr Tetamashimba said in an interview with Journalists in Livingstone today that Mr Mpombo allegedly failed to organise the party on the Copperbelt.[quote]

Mr Tetamashimba also expressed doubt that Mr Mpombo would recontest the Kafulafuta parliamentary seat in 2011 elections because in 2006 he was imposed on the people.

And Mr Tetamashimba has reiterated that President, Rupiah Banda, is the only credible candidate to stand on the party ticket in 2011.

He said all those people in the ruling party who were saying that the race for the MMD presidential candidate must be opened were not credible.

Mr Tetamashimba observed that even when the ruling party goes to the convention, no one is going to stand for the party presidency apart from President Banda.

He observed that Patriotic Front, PF, leader Micheal Sata has stood for the presidency for three times as the sole candidate and wondered why no one has questioned his position.

“Mr Sata has stood as President for three times in this country, why haven’t you asked him why he is the only one standing?,” he asked.

Yesterday, Defence Minister, Mr. Mpombo announced his resignation from government and the MMD National Executive Committee, NEC, citing personal reasons.

  1. Breaking news: Mulobezi Member of Parliament Hon. Michael Mabenga has been elevated from being Deputy Lands Minister to that of Defence Minister

  2. look at TETA is mad coz he ca not think even in small lines coz as for him everything is MMD i feel sorry one day when mmd will be no more coz his friends are now working and, building and correcting wrong things they had done in the past and now working on there future ,

  3. A kingdom fighting within itself is headed to fall. Why is he saying Mpombo failed.. it is because Mpombo has realised that these others guys are not performing well in government and so he would rather be on a side where people will be able to work…now because Mpombo has seen truth they have become against him…and especially that he has spoken against RB…its a good thing he resigned so he can talk more against RB on the presidencial issue and so that even though he talks he cannot be demoted from being a minister and in NEC..congrats Mr.Mpombo

  4. It was just a matter of time before Teta would make this comment. In fact I surprised his attack on Mpombo is not very harsh, I bet he is not yet finnished.

  5. On “Mr Tetamashimba also expressed doubt that Mr Mpombo would recontest the Kafulafuta parliamentary seat in 2011 elections because in 2006 he was imposed on the people.“, Min. Teta. is too quick. On others: President RB Banda issued a statement in Livingstone that he does not intend to block anyone from challenging him for the MMD presidency at that party’s forthcoming convention. He categorically said that it is his supporters who are pushing for his sole candidature and so let us wait and see what will transpire should we be alive then, by God’s grace. This is good news indeed though 2000/1 form. Pres. F. Chiluba tactics.

  6. There goes Teta , bubbling again. Can anything good come out of the mouth of this man.

    Mabenga elevated to defence minister, comedy in zambia continues. Next you will hear that he is the new vice president………………

  7. look at Grey Zulu when unip was in power evreything was kk the kk was out there was no more Grey Zulu till now so i hope this mad teta can learn a lesson from that

  8. Teta Mashi will always say things to please his master. Isn’t he the same person who told us that only Mrs. Mwanawasa was capable of ruling after LPM? Isn’t Mrs. Mwanawasa still there? Ask this shameless lapdog, with a short memory, to recall what comes out of his illiterate mouth. Today he is bootlicking RB, tomorrow, who knows he might be bootlicking Chirwa, and then God knows who next. These are the people we do not need in Zambian politics. Theye are more dangerous than our incompetent president RB.

  9. LT ..WHY ARE MY COMMENTS NEVER DISPALYED AFTER CRITICISING YOU OVER THE HOSPITAL ARTICLE ??
    Please change your name as others use it to insult fellow bloggers

  10. 8 continued.

    I thus find “Mr Tetamashimba observed that even when the ruling party goes to the convention, no one is going to stand for the party presidency apart from President Banda” at variance with President RB Banda’s words according to ZNBC Radio 13:15 hrs news indicated above.

    Thus, I am waiting to read more correct news from President RB Banda on the resignation of MP Mpombo and the MMD president including 2011 presidential candidate issue. If President RB Banda wants to show good leadership, he should boldly consider relieving Minister Teta. from his Ministerial jobs and ask MMD NEC to pursue displi na ry action.

    3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

  11. Mpombo has resigned from a govt. position and not a party one, and as such, Teta is not the right person to make any comments concerning this matter. His boss has declined to make any comments until he studies the resignation letter but Teta just had to be the hero of the party and run his mouth off as only he can do. His reasoning about the convention is a complete joke, the MMD might as well save themselves time and money and not hold the convention altogether if Mr. Bwezani is the sworn sole candidate of the MMD.

  12. [And Mr Tetamashimba has reiterated that President, Rupiah Banda, is the only credible candidate to stand on the party ticket in 2011]
    So what this means is that there is no leadership material in MMD! There you have it, from his won mouth!

  13. There he goes again! Teta waba ne chiwa? Can’t you thank the man for having rendered his services to the party?The man disgusts me.Was it Mpombos job to organise the party on the copperbelt?Is there no party structure there?Is there no National secretary? Just shut that space you call your mouth.Maybe it was a prescription from the dentist:Yap anyhow to get rid of bad breath.

  14. Zed politics is amazing! These holier than thou bigshots always having something negative to say when someone speaks their mind. Shameful

  15. 13 continued.

    This is nothing against Minister Teta. but for speaking faster that he needs to. Otherwise, I will begin to think that Minister Teta is a covert MMD president while President RB Banda is powerless.

    This is a very sad state of affairs and the earlier President RB Banda deals with this power problem the better for MMD.

    On “He observed that Patriotic Front, PF, leader Micheal Sata has stood for the presidency for three times as the sole candidate and wondered why no one has questioned his position“, is MMD now implementing undemocratic tendencies in PF or it is following its party constitution?

    Pres. RB Banda show leadership.
    _
    2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he…

  16. Teta stop comparing MMD you did not found to PF cos no one can bother challenge Sata,its written on the wall. .Who doesnt know that PF is solely owned by Sata and rules it with an Iron fist?Stop imposing RB on the MMD members,let the MMD presidency be competitive and be contested by those wishing and if RB wins then let it be.Quit behaving like a bullying demagogue Teta.

  17. Teta is a useless man who has no regard for the Country, but only interested in himself! Shame to have a parent like this one.

  18. People whats wrong with Teta. i feel really bad because i stay in his Solwezi central and the chap has done nothing. the roads here are terribly bad and he says Mpombo failed to organise the party in CB. Mr Teta what have you done in Solwezi? check your memory bamwisho

  19. Mr. Teta you are a caward hyna who waits until a Lion finishes the kakas and you scrumble for the bones.U were with mpombo for nine yrs but u failed to criticise him over the party organisation in CB.So even RB must not trust u,u love him just because he has given u the only job u have been longing for.No wander the Late LP did not trust u.U are bezy sapporting RB ‘4’ 2011 to safeguard your job.u are a paperty.

  20. TETA is a big fool. your collegue resigns from his ministerial position and you are talking about MMD. he is still you member. foolish man go back to skool.

  21. You thought Teta’s comments are wacky…wait until topdog RB comments…he will probably say ” I am suckingy Mpombo”

  22. Tetamalilo as they call him…………. How i wish he could read what people say about him on the net, everything negative comes very fast from his mouth. He needs prayers seriously, or he will lead us to H.E.L.L

  23. this man is so dull, does he even listen to the news because he can not be issueing statements before his president does. shame on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. Awe icha chinefye Paka jabe He has to say something do these people who advise others have advisers. People like Teta need a handler to avoid always shooting themslelves in the foot. Mbombo has his reasons for resigning it does not add weight to you agenda by saying he failed here and there because the question i will ask you is Why Didnt You FIRE Him ??????? da

  25. It would appear to me that Honorable Teta has two profiles for every politician in the land: One favorable and the other averse. The man can therefore quickly call a press conference and vomit the appropriate profile depending on the circumstances. It also seems he has more to say on the negative side than the positive. Am disappointed with you Teta. You are a disgrace to this your constituency. Every time I switch on the TV and I hear your name in the headlines I feel like switching it off because you are so negative about nothing but everything! Your time will come to dance like you are making others do!

  26. MMD is threatened. Why are they using the phrase “we are not threatened.” in every utterance. And why should Sata come in when he’s being asked about Mpombo.

  27. Who the hell does Tete think he is ….you must be ashamed of yourself, anyway thank you for you to keep destroying your party as we are tired of MMD….maybe people will start seeing how bad MMD is for the country.

  28. 36 Editor following your “#32, if Maestro Hakucincha fails to comply, we have to right to completely block him on this blog“, well go ahead then and let us see where that will take you.

    Intimidation will never work. I am waiting since I have just copied and pasted your writing above.

    On the thread, I hope the MMD will reorgainse itself so that leadership can be noticed by citizens of Zambia and the rest of the world.

    Have a good day all.

  29. WARNING:HOn mutati and Hon Simbao,can you please resign from this comic group if you want to leave politics with your intergrity as intact as it is.failure to which after 2011 we will lump you in the same group of the people who failed zambia.

  30. Maestro Hakucincha is sick, leave him alone. The best thing about LT is that they entertain even people from chinama.

  31. man do i totally dislike this dude. he is in permanent auto .i.d.i.o.t. mode!!! why the eff do they have to immediately badmouth someone just coz he’s left their s.t.u.p.i.d. party? is it party policy? maybe someone has a copy of their rule book and can enlighten me?

  32. Tetamashimba will not lead this nation to hell iwe #33.Teta is an asset to any opposition party leader like Kamalondo in Unip.You dont need to campaign when dealing with him his obnoxious attitude does it for you.I dont like RB but does he have advisors this man is driving him to hell.On second thoughts let him destroy them

  33. Fashion Police and the rest who have written unpalatables today, could you please refrain from insulting each other.

    I am really sad that I have to read insults on here almost every day and I have been planning to stop blogging completely because of such. However, I told myself that if I leave LT, then the devil would have won the battle against me as far as helping Zambia and Zambians cleaned up for the better.

    Please, brothers and sisters, Zambian citizens and non-citizens, can we please appreciate one another as a people. There is no profit in insulting a fellow human being. We can all co-exist nicely if we all refrain.

    Be blest.

  34. u ever heard of them deep cover or sleeper agents? i think thats wat teta is. i think he never left upnd coz its evident that his mission is to eat the mmd from inside out totally destroying them. that must be it, coz no sane person in this day and age can yap as much as he can and construing his yappings to be in the best interests of the party. it is said that we cant have it all. every beautiful thing has some sort of blemish. we have peace, which is beautiful and we have a big blemish which is the government

  35. #45, the principle in Physics is that where there is a vacuum, air moves in to fill it. So there is a leadership vacuum at the top and Teta Mashi and his Monkey Mulongoti take turns in filling it. So Syvia is more than right in her statement.

  36. Politicians like tetamushindo should learn to just respect others decisions without come up with venom..why no just thank Mpondo for what he achieved and wish him the best?

  37. Information that has reached me is that MMD National Secretary Katele Kalumba has banned all MMD members from debating about the party president with regard to convention and convention holding issues.
    I hope Minister Teta. will take heed of the counsel from his boss while President RB Banda should show leadership in the MMD. Otherwise, how can he leader a whole nation properly if he is showing signs of failing to lead MMD as a party?

    This is why, I admire the mighty UPND for everyone respects the party’s position after they discuss matters at their meetings.

    I thus recommend that MMD NEC elects Vice President George Kunda as its veep balancing leadership.

  38. Uyu kapala finshi abaela kanshi. The guy quit your crooked cabinet just let him go in peace, goodness. I hope Mpombo just ignores these clowns

  39. 51 continued.

    Continuing on I thus recommend that MMD NEC elects Vice President George Kunda as its veep balancing leadership. This move could ensure that their is good protocol between various party chairman officials, e.g., Minister Teta. for information, and the party president together with the party’s vice president.

    Such will ensure that chairmen respect the MMD party’s position and the Secretary General Katele Kalumba.

    Also, it will caused the filling up or bridging the gap of the leadership crises in the current MMD that started in about 2003 when Kavindele as played games after being fired as Republican Vice President.

    This must be now.

  42. What will others say about you, Teta, when you resign? That you were the scarecrow of the party?

  43. # 55, toko, What is wrong with you? There is nothing wrong with quoting words from horses’ mouths. We see quotations even in scientific books. He uses copy and paste in the right way.
    It may not be your stay but respect him please!

  44. They say empty tins make a lot of noise. Has anyone told Teta Mashi about this saying? There are a lot senior characters in MMD, but why are they all quiet leaving these two empty tins to be making noise. Even the chief of noise lt Gen. Shikapwa told Teta to dialogue with Sylvia, didn’t this empty tin see sense in what Shikpwa was talking about? Teta, continue attacking Sylvia and she will undress you publicly wait and see. After all, we all know that you are neither hard working nor clever that is why he continues bootlicking.

  45. The biggest problem with TETA is that he is always ahead of his brains when talking. Unfortunately this disease in him is incurable and genetic.

  46. I wonder what has prompted Teta to mention this now other tha n earlier on. The next person to resign from the MMD is Teta himself. He has commited so many atrocities and has hurt so many people.

  47. here goes Talking Teta…..nothing goes by without his comments…hmmm…guys help me, do u think one can bewitched to be talking all the time??

  48. Teta’s vision is himself. He does not give it a dame about what he says. He is desperate for himself.

  49. “A drowning man catches a straw”. That is Teta. He is trying to save the MMD and himself from the drowning blow of Mpombo’s resignation.

  50. We repeat, are all of you armchair critics now MMD loyalists to be this rattled and preoccupied with MMD internal politics instead of articulating policies of your internet based titular circus parties?

    If MMD is unpopular what is your rattle about over its internal policy and political decisions?

    Aren’t the so-called bad choice and policy statements of the MMD suppose to lock you up into bump dance that they have now chosen unwinnable candidate?
    I thought Sata has gone for 9 years now without convention while HH has refused any challenge despite losing 3 elections straight when MMD has had three presidents and conventions?

  51. Reminder is that UPND Party Secretary General Kahaye was recently fired single handedly by one struggling HH for expressing interest in the top slot challenging him to drop for failing the party 3 times.

    Are you all MMD and why the panic if MMD is a sinking titanic? Boys engrave this on your foreheads that we have forewarned you to discard your false hopes, MMD and RB are leaders beyond 2011.

    You will all be vanquished in humility and shame.MMD is well grounded to be moved by wastefully self apathetic deluded armchair critics burning in vanity from blog to blog.

    Political power is born inside the ballot boxes and not blog or tabloid rants. Take a bitter pill in Chitambo as a litmus test of what is in the Pandora box. There is no alternative leadership or party to MMD.

  52. You know, today.. Fashion Police really hurt me, he insulted me for absolutely no reason.. Maybe i have offended him so bad that the first thing he thinks of everyday is what bad thing can he say about me..But for what its worth..i feel terribly bad coz i am not a person that wants to hurt or fight with anybody…Perhaps its not a bad idea that i never visit the LT blog again, whats the point? i thought the reason we blog is to tap each others brain and make social friends, its not suppose to mean much, but thats what we call social media. I would like to say sorry to anybody i may have offended on this blog and i would like to say thank you for the friends i have made… I shall read the news and read your comments once in a while, but i shall never blog again, Cheers…Nkuka

  53. Though the no convention politics is a tradition brought in Zambia by Sata’s 9 self imposed tyranny and now HH, MMD is set for the convention but the winner remains RB who has marshaled national wide solidarity support.The rest will just be wasting their time or exercising their constitutional rights which are guaranteed and well protected in MMD political space.

    Look at Magande’s Maureen Mwanasawa over funded ongoing national campaign tours over the last 8 months now, it’s all a trail of struggles and money shredding disaster of zero retains.

    Look at Witch Doctor Sondashi’s vision.
    By the way Magande is the one who formed the Leftist party using young Lukulu but he has since grown cold feet and Lukulu has been pleading to be embraced in MMD.

  54. At times politicians behave as though they got no brains. The basic definition of democracy is that people must freely exercise their rights. I am sure the MMD constitution does say that the president’s position is electable and that there’s no imposed picking of a president. Those in NEC and external to it that have intent of standing for president MUST come forward and contest. Certainly not every Jim and Jack has to go through. A filtering mechanism MUST be in place to weed out those that do not have the credentials as outlined in the party constitution. The MMD party is due to lose people’s respect and is bound to fall.

  55. # 69. You don’t have to leave because of some character. Enjoy what you can on LT. Many people here you will never meet in ” real life” so, don’t bother.

  56. 69 Miss Daisy good choice but why put yourself in self-imposed exile? While I understand that women are generally weaker at standing their ground, I am asking you to stick around and blog in any way yuor like. Just make sure, you chat too much in other media other than on here LT.

    Following your “Fashion Police really hurt me, he insulted me for absolutely no reason“, too bad but it happens on here LT many times that failures in debating resort to the devil’s devices. Do not mind them and do what is needed to do for Zambia and Zambians. Just understand them as humans who are yet to improve if you keep praying for them.

    Thus, cheer up.

    Your deception in “Reminder is that UPND Party Secretary General Kahaye was recently fired single handedly by one struggling HH for expressing interest in the top slot challenging him to drop for failing the party 3 times” can not be left unchallenged.

    To this end, UPND president Hakainde Hichilema (aka HH) came on the Zambian political scene seriously in 2006 and ever since he has participated in 3 elections namely: UPND presidency 2006, Zambian Presidency under UDA 2006 and Zambian Presidential by-election 2008 losing 2 and NEVER 3.

  60. 76 cont’d.

    UPND president Hakainde Hichilema (aka HH) came on the Zambian political scene seriously in 2006 and ever since he has participated in 3 elections namely: UPND presidency 2006, Zambian Presidency under UDA 2006 and Zambian Presidential by-election 2008 losing 2 and NEVER 3. President HH was quoted as saying that there will only be a UPND convention in 2011 by the POST when his first 5 year UPND presidential term of office shall come to an end.

    Of course, a select few of UPND leaders have endorsed HH for 2011 UPND presidency and presidential candidate, but they havent blocked anyone from challenging him yet the party convention.

  65. Iwe Matworld that mobile number you put out there is it real I was trying to call you we need to link up ukese ku Durbs for a weekend , sort out your ticket the rest provided whatever your desires may be on that weekend will be provided by Big Muzo

    I have so much respect for you and your comments however I am very concerned not a s a blogger but a responsible world citizen that you decide to put a naked baby picutre on your gravatar that is wrong , you are vlolating childrens rights.
    Imagine maybe that kid may even be my boy or girl. Its wicked.
    We have so may many issues of child abuse in this world even where you are that looks like Colombian flag ,mwana take it off and earn your respect credibly. Find some thing acceptable to all at least.

  67. 82 Matworld, I hope all about your laptop is fine now. As for your “read one of Maestro comments where he said he devil will win if he quits which is true,is that what ou want?” I will elaborate what I mean by the devil winning below.

    In John 17 of the Holy Bible, Jesus Christ’s prayers of His 12 disciples, others and us is recorded. In there I love 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine… 15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. [KJV Bible]. 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. .

    Clearly, there is no need to escape, but live by God’s grace.

  68. My comment on Mr Teta is that we will always have people like him whether we like or not. There’ve been others like late UNIP Copprbelt Memeber of Central Committee, Alexander Kamalondo and late MMD Lusaka Province Minister, Christopher Chawinga. In some sense, even Mr Sata falls within this group except that he is just an “upgraded version” (to president rather than ministerial level). Their common negative is “quick puking” of infor hence most of it is not intelligently digested. Only once did I hear an intelligent analysis from Mr Teta when he said the youths voting for PF (2008) claimed they were not in school coz of MMD. Then he pointed out that it was Mr Sata’s group to blame coz the time they were deprived of free education (at age 6) that was when MMD took office (1991)

  69. Taibwelamo uyu umuntu naena aisa futhi, Maestro take leave mate your contributions irritate me and I am sure I am not alone, do your spaceship or spacewalk assingments young man, the day ukakwata ka exeperience pa ISS, tatwakanwe na mabisi.

  70. 82 Matworld.

    It is written in the Holy Bible that God, the Father, should [John 17:17] Sanctify them [us] through thy [His] truth: thy [His] word is truth.

    With this powerful prayer for us by Jesus Christ our Lord and saviour, why should we as Christians be intimidated or detered by the devil and his associates?

    I have personally started using a principle “unless there be a compromise, there can NEVER be backsliding” and so far it is working well. This is why I use truth to teach uncouth characters how to behave in their lives. Thus, equipped with the Holy Bible, no amount of demonic attack will be availed space to intimidate me.

    Take careful care and be blest.

  71. 86 Dongo Na Sundu greetings. I really liked your”Only once did I hear an intelligent analysis from Mr Teta when he said the youths voting for PF (2008) claimed they were not in school coz of MMD. Then he pointed out that it was Mr Sata’s group to blame coz the time they were deprived of free education (at age 6) that was when MMD took office (1991).

    Funny enough, it is appearing that the mentor for Minister Teta. is actually honourable PF self-appointed leader MC Sata (Grade 2/6, unknown) as indicated by ““Mr Sata has stood as President for three times in this country, why haven’t you asked him why he is the only one standing?,” he asked” and the Third Term Bid campaign that Mr Sata carried out for Mr Chiluba in 2000/1.

  72. Please, with all due respect to all, if one is irritated by the comments of others, he/she must take leave. Don’t be childish, #87 (Muzo), You don’t own the blog! Your comments are not cool !

  73. As for Minister Teta.’s utterances referenced in the above news, I just learnt after listening to the 20:00 hrs ZNBC news that Minister Teta. was speaking from Livingstone where President RB Banda was too.

    This shows that President RB Banda may have been the one that sent Minister Teta. to make such a statement. I thus pity MMD National Secretary Katele Kalumba following his reported ban on MMD people speaking out about the party presidential candidate and convention.

    Let us wait and see what will happen, but I am afraic MP Masebo may have been right.

    Finally, the greatest enemy to President RB Banda’s 2011 tripartite elections presidential ambitions is no one else but himself — as he has enough advice.

    Have a blessed day all and keep well.

  74. Teta’s comment is rubbish!! Mpombo made it clear he wanted to leave the position for energetic youths to take up some of the responsibilities in politics and to dedicate time for his family while finish his MBA. Instead of giving him a hand and praise Teta vomits rubbish. Hell! what a leader? is it wrong for an individual to make his own decision?

  75. 91 WE CAN greetings. What matters is that the point is driven home and the truth hurts. So just bear with the character 87 Muzo. He is simply admitting that he has failed to debate positively and is in a terrible mess, but with prayers for him/er he/she may come round.

    Enjoy as I go cooking and watching TV now in the kitchen and later eating starting from now.

    Have a blessed day all and keep well.

  76. # 69, Daisy, do not let anyone have that kind of power over you. You should not allow yourself to be affected by what people say, WORDS are just that…words. They only become powerful and have meaning when you let them define you. I do not condone Fashion Police’s statements and found the entire episode to be completely uncalled for. But my message to you is that you should not allow others to define what you are, remain confident in yourself and relegate those words to their rightful place – the Gutter. Continue to express yourself and to show your beautiful face on the blog AND DO SO WITHOUT APOLOGIES TO ANYONE!!!

  77. PATRIOT,
    Just for how long has maureen mwanawasa over funded magande?on the other blog you said 6 months now you have come up with 8 months.don’t you think you are contradicting yourself because you dont have facts?iyo ndiye nkani yamu kachasu.Magande can be supported by maureen but he can’t go to an extent of getting funding from that widow.he is not a cheap fella.
    RB am told he is an economist equally magande in-case ba patriot you-dont know this man magande has realy worked for international mother bodies and has made his money.in short he is humble but super rich.

  78. For those new on LT. You only have a few people on LT posting under different names and flags. One of them is a mod with an EU flag. The retard is abnoxious! You know who!

  79. # 98, Akapondo, As a matter of fact Maureen Mwanawasa has no money to fund anybody. The little she inherited from the late cannot go that far. She has no financial strength to carry Magande on her back! It is like saying Nervous Mumber is funding RB ! Ha ha haaa!

  80. TETAMSHIMBA you talk too much! You must learn to shut up sometimes. why were you not telling us all this stuff about Mpombo before he resigned. we are getting fed up with your holier-than-thou attitude. Remember that every dog has its day. You are not the cleaner than tyhe other people you keep rubbishing every time as if us Zambians are blind people who need your help. Wait for 2011…!!!

  81. I am not sure if they is any democratic party in Zambia, As Teta has observed, Sata has stood for Presidential elections Three times without a convention. We should try to promote intraparty democracy across board, regaredless of whether its a ruling or opposition party. A partys respect for democratic tenents can be measure of how the party respect domcracy when governing. Mpombo is still the same mpombo whether he has resgined or not.We should not support him because he has resigned. What if he has resigned because someone told him he will not be protected for his past crimes, should we support him. Assuming Kapoko was a member of MMD and he resigns, should the opposition embrace him just because he has resgined. On the other note I do not think Mabenga’s appointment was in good…

  82. #103, your name sounds delicious !

    The only credit I give to Mpombo for resigning is that he has shown that he has at least some Morales left in him. Many others in MMD do not have such qualities. What I am saying is that he is the best of the worst people! But am not sure about the other allegation you said about him.

  83. # 107, What greener pasture when all opportunities are and will remain in MMD? My friend, there is poverty and desolation in the opposition camp.All there is certainly a lot of space to blog rubbish valuelessly.You know as a matter of fact these MMD mafias are here to stay past 2011.Our rubbish here have bearing on the ballot.We are busy here when they are everywhere around the country with structures and resources on the ground.We blog 24/7 to ourselves when RB and his MMD’s names are blasting every home through TV and Radio airwaves with MMD news .Every local language radio channel is propagating MMD mantra.This is a real and not virtual world at challenge my friends!The game is imbalance.You think voters have the privilege of reading tabloids or blog insults the way we do?

  84. # 107, What greener pasture when all opportunities are and will remain in MMD? My friend, there is poverty and desolation in the opposition camp.All there is certainly a lot of space to blog r.u.b.b.i.s.h valuelessly.You know as a matter of fact these MMD m.a.f.i.a.s are here to stay past 2011.Our r.u.b.b.ish here got no ballot factor.We are busy here when they are everywhere around the country with structures and resources on the ground.We blog 24/7 to ourselves when RB and his MMD’s names are blasting every home through TV and Radio airwaves with MMD news .Every local language radio channel is propagating MMD mantra.This is a real and not virtual world as challenge my friends!The game is imbalanced.You think voters have the privilege of reading tabloids or blog insults the way we do?

  85. Mr Teta is spokesperson for MMD not for government. Mpombo has resigned from government where he was appointed by the president, but not from MMD. So Mr Tetamashimba is out of order to comment in such a derogatory manner over a fellow MMD member and honourable MP. This man has halitosis and the sooner RB gets rid of him, the better. Please your excellency, do not value one fool’s loyalty over democracy and common sense. This Teta is your Achilles’ heel.

  86. The way Teta is going, he will some day criticise the president himself when he loses the 2011 elections. He will come up with a ‘good riddance’ story and REjoin his former UPND. This man is the ‘fungus among us.’

  87. #109 Your party is more popular on LT than it is in Zambia. Sorry to say Zambia is Zambia and MMD will be around for sometime to come. The best you can do is cry, but, make sure no one sees you. Ahaha hahaha hahah hahaha haha!

  88. CHITAMBO PF REJECTS CANDIDATE FOR BY-ELECTION

    By Melody Mwala

    THE Patriotic Front (PF) in Chitambo Constituency has rejected a parliamentary candidate chosen by the central committee to represent the PF-United Party for National Development (UPND) pact in next month’s by-election.

    However, PF spokesperson Given Lubinda said it was not up to the district or constituency officials to decide on whom to adopt as that decision was supposed to be made by the party’s central committee.

    Chitambo Constituency PF chairperson Gershom Mukosha said in an interview that the pact would not win the by-election because the senior leadership had ignored the advice to field a local person.

  89. Mr Mukosha said the selected candidate, Chanda Mutale was not a local person and was not known by the people of Chitambo, making it difficult for the local leadership in the pact to accept and campaign for the man.

    He said the people of Chitambo wanted a Philip Kosamu to be adopted because he was a well known person in the area but that the PF leadership instead decided to co-opt him into the central committee.

    “It is not even true to say that Mr Mutale is a businessman who shuttles between Lusaka and Chitambo and we are even challenging the PF leadership to come and show us which businesses this man runs in Chitambo,” he said.

    He said the PF members in the constituency wanted somebody “approachable” like Mr Kosamu to be adopted and not one coming from afar with little…

  90. He said the PF members in the constituency wanted somebody “approachable” like Mr Kosamu to be adopted and not one coming from afar with little knowledge of the constituency.

    “Imagine we were even in Lusaka last week with Mr Kosamu himself, the district chairman Martin Chikate and district secretary Charles Mwelwa to discuss this same matter.

    “We met the top leadership who included our party’s national chairman Mr Emmanuel Mukupa and the general secretary Chileshe Mulenga. From their explanation, they assured us that Mr Kosamu will be adopted.

  91. #111 RB Won`t lose the elections. I like the way you change your flags. Sadly you can not make cows win elections. No icilema for you! Sorry we do not want cows peeing at RB next time. I do not mind a monkey. lol!

  92. “At least we made an effort to travel to Lusaka to tell them the person who is wanted but our appeal fell on deaf ears and the next thing we saw in the papers was a story saying Mr Mutale was instead the one adopted,” he said.

    Mr Mukosha said the PF should not underrate the MMD’s candidate Solomon Musonda whom he said was a well known person in the constituency.

  93. Sata has just said he is not going ahead with the pact. You tongas need him more than he needs you, yet you keep insulting him.

  94. Sata Pulls out! Headline in the Times tomorrow morning. I think the old man has done the right thing. I bet he has realised he was wasting time with unpopular tONGAS.

  95. UPND cadres who thought this was a chance for their leader to win an election were said to be deeply disappointed as they tried to impose their leader on the pact. Notably so was a blogger on the popular LT.

  96. A rich bemba proverb says, “Imputi Iyisula, taibula kubwekeshapo”, so it goes with the Dishonerable MP Mr. Ben Tetamashimba. Bakalamba, you were created with two ears and one mouth so that you may learn to listen twice as much as you speak. Limo muleikalafye, bushe ciwa nshi camingilamo? Sorry to say this, imwe, ba Reverand Shikapwasha and Ba Mulongoti need to do your homework properly before you die, coz God will surely question your deceiving and diabolical advise you render to RB and the nation at large.

  97. All of you bloggers daily insulting, denouncing and demeaning Hon.Tetamashimba, Mulongoti, Dr.Katele Kalumba, Hon.Chairman Mabenga, Veteran Diplomat VJ Mwaanga, General Shikapwasha, Dr.Derick Mbita Chita, His LT Honor.VP George Kunda, H.E RB and their wider supporting members, you are retarded i.d.i.o.ts, with mouth diarrhea. Why don’t you start your own parties to prove you are upto to the task instead of cowardly blogging 24/7 hiding behind fake and weak pseudonyms? Why don’t you stay in the country to stage a revolutionary battle of ideas that would sale?Why haven’t you impacted your parties ever struggling against MMD in vanity? There is Chitambo bye-election, what have you put in to help struggling pact to win?You are a bunch of useless lazy bones without a purpose in life.

  98. We are well awaiting for the resignation of Tetamashimba should the Investigative wings find nothing against the former local government minister Silvia Masebo regarding the procurement of the hearses.
    Irrespective of the reasons for his resignation, Mpombo has done the most honorary thing . It is no secret that the current government is experiencing leadership failure in almost all sectors and it calls for diligent and honest individuals to strongly distance themselves from a condemned government full of malicious acts at the expense of impoverished Zambians.

    I miss the Spectator

    It is better to be uneducated than being uncivilized

  99. Unless you are a messed up retard, in your own world, no way no how Masebo is in un redeemable mess over her hearses.Good idea but inflated prices in a syndicated scam.

  100. #55 thats great news. I always wonder why this fool never make sense. Such critials explain the illiteracy in this psycho. i also wonder what is the matter with the educated Zambians. Are we cowards?!

  101. For those who do not know. The retard with an EU flag is an LT mod. He is as irritating as they come.

  102. #127 Voter, the biggest enemy that we have as a country are people like you who cannot seem to appreciate the rights of others to express an opinion. The fact that people thread on this blog, means that they are at least alive to the happenings in Zambia. Your insults will not bring about progress. If our leaders are found wanting, we need to hold them accountable. We are where we are as a nation because some of these leaders lack the wisdom or will to bring about progress for the majority of our people. Voter, no man holds a monopoly over intelligence. We need to constantly remind our brothers and sisters in leadership, to remember that they hold these positions to find solutions to our common problems. It is a pity that you have chosen to insult us for saying what we feel is right.

  103. He is Akapondo, he comes with the Germany flag, he will post under Ba Honey with a British flag, Hachipuba, Mulenga of Newcastle, Saint, Ubuntungwa, Slumdog, Ba Dr Maureen, Ba Moze, Dongo Na Sundu, Missy Daisy, need I go on?

    Featured: To Catch a Criminal (WFTV, Donald Forbes)

    There is reason to believe that they may still be in the Central Florida area. They are sisters and their crime against our community is one we hear too much of lately. During at least October 2002 thru at least March 2003, Chanda and Stacy worked at a local hotel in the tourist area and conspired to steal and use, for their own benefit, credit card numbers from unsuspecting domestic and international tourists visiting the Orlando area theme parks. In all, during their “charge it to the max” scheme they have managed to total up approximately $72,000 on the cards they stole by charging…

  105. Musambachime,

    Such apologetic mindset is what makes you a certified public i.d.i.o.t.How long have you been barking in blogs and who told you that your so called leaders have the leisure of swimming in these daft people’s insults? Is that you reach out to your mother and father-first stripping them naked then you get bread?All Zambian blogs have failed to serve the purpose because of retards like you hijacking them.Do expect a minister to blog here? If you believe they don’t serve you, why haven’t you found your own internet party since you have been barking for over 4 years now gainlessly?

  106. The way this blogging thing is going, it appears to me that we are no better than the people we discuss here. I mean let’s try and revolutionalise our thinking and make this a fruitful thing to do, otherwise………………………………………………….

  107. There we go again ! Everytime Teta opens his kama mouth, a swarm of houseflies-equivalent of lies comes out of it. Should it take the resignation of Mr Duiker for Teta to realise that he was imposed on the people in 2006. It should be borne in the mind of every MMD bigwig that the moment you step out of the MMD circus, clowns like Teta will be on your case with filth. Teta , you are an embarassment to zambian politics

  108. Kwena even if its being a puppet ba Tetamashimba? You mean the entire MMD, you inclusive, has no sufficient brains to rule a nation? I dont agree with you. Banda is old and may soon die. Will RB’s death signify the death of MMD. If this is the case, then MMD died a long time ago.

  109. # 55 on your ‘Let me get off topic friends.
    There is this Chap Maestro H……… whose comments irritate me, not because they are bad, but by the way he copies and paste as if we do not read the story’. On the contrarily am of the view that we should all emulate his way of comment because most of us bloggers get to make comments that leave most of us wondering which point in the main story you are referring to or whether after all you are not commenting on the main story but rather on a comment by a blogger like you. That’s why I enjoy Maestro Hakucincha copy and paste because he makes himself clearer than clear. Thumbs-up to him.

  110. tightjeanzambia,
    I totally agree with your concerns about this so called Maestro. I really dont know who has been misleading him that his comments are worth reading in full coz they are just full of tribalistic $h1t amongst the other nonsense he cares to post.

  111. # 145 tightjeanszambia is not sure whether you have read my whole comment at # 144. But from you comment it would appear you agree with # 55 in which case you dont agree with me totally!

  112. I would like to express my disapointment at RB’ s appointment of Mabenga to a sensitive ministry like defence. how will the same donors RB is trying to impress take the appointment to cabinet of a convicted plunderer like micheal ? surely is he the only Lozi RB should pick on to satisfy the west ? this man is now like a runaway train ! No objectives or pattern of operations whatsoever.

  113. i wonder how north western people feel about the guy that represents them in paliament….a low calibre cadre..honestly teta still boast’s of the most intelligent kaonde man..i question that intelligence!!!!

  114. mwamona nomba when mpombo was in the system,they were not saying anything but now he has left them,is being accused of failing to organise the party.why didn’t they tell him when he was with them?

  115. #148 Chisuzi spot on. This Maestro fimo fimo is very tribalistic i do not like the way he adresses Michael Sata as the under educate and calls HH the educated. I personally ignore his comments. The copy and paste crowds his comments as well. Back to the topic. Teta is a chief bootlicker . Why should he compare MMD to PF he would have commented on the resignation only not the comparision. This is the thinking of a dull person. With pride and dignit you say i passed number 23 and my friend passed number 25 ouch!

  116. Tetamashimba is proving to be one of the biggest letdowns in Zambian politics. It is a disgrace to have him in a party let alone in government. Is he normal? He should be retired in public interest because he is just full of empty sound and fury. He is a true liability to the country. He is an apology of minister.

  117. Mwashibukeni mwebantu. News has it that FASHION POLICE didnt takeHer/His medication yesterday, hence the out brake yesterday on the other thread. Boggers you are kindly asked to forgive Him/Her. Chabulanda

  118. TETE, Y A U SAYING THAT RB IS THE ONLY CREDIBLE MMD CANDIDATE FOR 2011? Y NOT U YOURSELF? A U NOT CREDIBLE? AND Y DO U LIKE JUDGING OTHERS ON WHATEVER HAPPENS? U ARE NOT A GOOD SPOKESPERSON. TALK A BUILDING LANGUAGE AND NOT A DESTROYING LANGUAGE. DONT FORGET THAT THERES POWER IN THE TONGUE AND DO NOT SPEAK EVIL ABOUT YO COLIQUES, U WILL NOT BUILD IN THAT WAY , DONT FORGET U ARE ONE. PUT YOHOUSEHOLD IN ORDER PLS. THE BIBLE SAYS JAJ NOT. AND U SHUD TRY TO READ REV 3. 1-6. U ONLY NEED GRACE IN ALL YOU UTTER AS A SPOKESPERSON FOR MMD LEAD BY EXAMPLE . U ALSO NEED TO SHOW LOVE TO YO FELLOW PARTY MEMBAZ MARK 12-28-34. LOOK AT JESUS THE WAY HE HANDLED HIS DISCIPLES LIKE BE JUDAS, SIMON PETER WHO EVEN BETRAYED HIM. TATA NGANIMWEBO KUTI MWAIPAYAFYE ABENA JUDAS . LEARN TO 4GIV PLS

  119. Teta , know that CB is strong hold of PF just like LSK. Why should you say he failed to organise the party when Mpombo was only in Kafulafuta? You are so daft. Let him be respected for resigning. So you MMD chaps can impose? thanks for washing date linen in public. i am coming to Zambia to register as a voter so i can help in removing you……………..

  120. TETA MUSHILU…This guy why is he like this? what grade did he go up to ? Grade 4 term 1 i guess! This man really gets on my nerves everytime he opens his mouth all hell breaks loose,i think he needs deliverance he is not normal Please pipo of God lets pray for this guy so that he can be set free.From malabisi talk.

  121. # 152. Chisuzi. We have a scumbag for Ministry of Defence. Michael Mabenga’s theft of $ 6000 meant for Mulobezi and his subsequent conviction by the Supreme Court in Zambia makes him undesirable to hold public office.

  122. well! well! well!.interesting reading .the MMD never cease to amaze me .mpombo was until the demise of mwanawasa -the mmd itself .surely we should be asking why he would resign.so in as much as tenta has done it again .we seem to be ok with mpombos resignation.iam not .sata once said “now that we have reconciled with mwanawasa ,we should see what mpombo will say “.we cant just take it like that .otherwise tomorrow he will come under another party and we say welcome mpombo.these people have ruined our country.the owe us an explaination.we pay them after all

  123. fashion police you seem very upset .take it easy.LT would not provide a free forum ,if it was meant for trading insults .lets appreciate the effort and resources it takes for this fora to be made available .otherwise we are doomed .I dont particularly like maestro ,but i would miss him if he left.i find him incorrigible -using some words the big musokotwane once used on kaunda.

  124. #167, you know, its the likes of this kadoyo insect who make me talk like this, am not that bad! Attention seeking has become too much on Lt, we notice people who contribute obejectively, like Maestro, this guy is one of the greatest here.

  125. 168 fumbi and 170 Fashion Police greetings and thanks for everything.

    Whatever I believe in is that we are all different and we can live together nicely by just respecting the rights of others among us.

    True power is not exhibited by force or the amount of insults one is capable of releasing on others, but humility in disposition and using all available truth with honesty.

    My plea to you and the rest of the LT bloggers is that please let us respect all human beings whether Zambian or non-Zambian. Really, I like the way animals mingle with people here in Europe because of the nice harmony and I would want to see or notice such happening in Zambia. This requires that we change our current hostile mindsets.

    Have a blessed day all.

  126. #137 RB for 2011:

    I solemnly declare that I think therefore I am. I pride myself in my independent thinking and way of life. I regard myself as an INDIVIDUAL and not as a mere cog in the social machine. Peer pressure is no pressure to me. I am objective and not subjective to preformed opinions and deductions. I apply the scientific process after faith. I substanciate the things I hope for and find evidence in what is unseen.

  127. #172 Maestro Hakucincha
    Let them be. The nature of the fallen human being is that anyone different from them is not ok. We are bound to adhere to those who are like us, who speak like us and do things like us. We conglomerate in races, tribes, colours, creeds, sexes and families. When the going gets tough, the alike stick together. All human conflict has arisen out of this, whether at empire and kingdom level down to family and personal feuds. The guiding theme for many people is “Them versus Us.”

  128. TETA reminds me of a man who never allowed his to correct or advise him on anything. He always reacted angrily so eventually the wife stopped advising him. Then one day he wiped his face with a handkerchief which he had just cleaned his nose with. This smeared a long stretch of mucus on his face. As usual the wife was afraid of telling him about it. Wherever he went people were staring at him especially the beuties. So he thought to himself that he was very good looking thats why people were looking at him. After a few Catsles he went to the gents for a pee. He looked in the mirror and then saw the mess on his face. You can imagine his shock. Instead of blaming himself he went home and accused his wife for neglegence!!!

  129. 177 THE SAINT thanks, I have taken note, and later.

    178 Deja Vu great stuff.

  130. Recent polls released show that MMD has lost its popularity by 50% in the last seven months that RB has been president of Zambia. Further indications are that unless there is a quick change in the management style of the current leadership, the party’s support is likely to dwindle further at an increasing rate.

  131. #180 BEEE The MMD lost its popularity in 2001 when FTJ imposed LPM on the party. All these elections have been won by crooked means using one VJ. Remember when Mazoka was leading VJ produced a different version of the TIMES of ZAMBIA specifically aimed at people in Bangweulu area that which purported that MMD had won the e election and since that area had not cast their vote they just opted to vote MMD fearing that if they voted otherwise they were going to be marginalized by the MMD GRZ. Twice Sata has lost under dubious cercumstances. To beat MMD you need to destroy their machinery that is used to bribe voters and vote stuffing(Remember taht elections officer who was caught with a premarke ballot paper?) You really need to crack your heads hard to stop this machinery.

  132. incompetence is condoned in other words, now we wonder whether this teta thug is competent either.

  133. Mr TETA KANDOLO with all due respect dont you think Mr Mpombo has set a good example?I mean it means you have to resign as well and let people with subctance takeover.We cant stand your bad breath everytime you open your mouth! ??? ????…

  134. #28 i agree with you,just like the saying goes ati bakolwe basekene ifipato iwe tete what have you done in solwezi?NOTHING you have failed to buy a generator for solwezi general hospital babies die everyday bcoz of your failed work,kano ukubwata bwata.ulelekako fimo fyakupitako nolandapo,any way i dont blame you.you over grown weezo .MUZUNGU ANI KONDE THATS YOU TETA

  135. RB for 2011
    Welu! Polo yako,sindine miss daisy,sindine saint olo dongo na sundu.usokonezeka chi colour chifukwa bonse sitimufuna bosi wako.2011 afuna olo safuna agwamo niwoitaya.ma chain day yako.
