President Rupiah Banda says some politicians are planning to engage in activities to destabilise the country.
President Banda says the politicians are hoping to benefit from the instability that will be created in the nation.
He has cautioned ministers and Zambian diplomats against being misled by such politicians.
The president has directed newly appointed Home Affairs Minister, Lameck Mangani, to ensure there is peace and security in the nation.
He was speaking at State House in Lusaka on Monday after swearing in Mr. Mangani and newly appointed Lands Deputy Minister, Michael Mabenga.[quote]
Mr. Mangani takes over from Dr. Kalombo Mwansa who has moved to the ministry of defence while Mr. Mabenga replaces the late Chitambo MP, Nassim Hamir.
On Mr. Mabenga, President Banda said those opposed to his appointment are free to seek legal redress.
Mr. Banda expressed confidence that Mr. Mabenga would execute his duties with due diligence.
And President Banda has appointed and sworn in former Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria, Richard Kachingwe as Zambia’s High Commissioner to Malawi.
Mr. Banda has also appointed former Local Government Permanent Secretary, Joel Ngo as Ambassador to Brazil.
Zambia’s Deputy Ambassador to France, Alexis Luhila, is the new High Commissioner to Nigeria.
Mr. Banda is confident that the newly appointed diplomats will effectively represent Zambia abroad.

Somebody please tell me what these so called Ambassadors/High Commisioners do? I dont understand their purpose
I hope he means Tetamashimba and Mulongoti
He is now scared of his own shadow!!!!
RB is scared of his own shadow
I hope this crop of Ambassadors have been trained and will not “just take off” like Chilumunda
Mr President, Please Stop Alarming the nation. Don’t create an environment for you to instruct your zambia police “cadres” to arrest innocent people.
Mr President, please don’t be scared of ‘spooks’ as the opposition leaders are very peaceful people.
To divide and rule is their only plan……which way does the nation goes?Don´t wan2 see no Congo in Zed.The situation is getting tense and it´s up to RB to give way to people who have the know how of what Zambia needs.Otherwise bwana you can run from your own shadow but you can´t hide.
WELL DONE FOR RECYCLING THE SAME PIPO
I feel like pee on him too mwe……
Lesa twafwe twakupapata
RB ought to be ashamed of himself. He is the one who has destabilised and ruined this nation. Its now a shame to be even called a Zambian. I think a state funeral before 2011 wont be a bad idea.
magande is the next president banda you have failed and you must leave the post in peace leave that young girl alone iwe you shameless dirty corupt tribalist you blind demon from the past coming back to huant our young democracy you where caught by lukuku bribing cosmo mumba a foolish politician who roots for you these days you think we can’t remember you said your cabinet is balanced you can’t even remember how you became vice president that mwanawasa was trying to balance the cabinet you think you where appointed on ability remove kunda and appoint some one from western,southern or northwestern ,provinces but not teta mashiba or mabenga
These appointments, aah, its now mostly umodzi kumawa. Every news conference paka umvele po wa Kumawa, why?
now that the the economy has failed it is time for change
Mr president please come out in the open and not beat about the bush. Your own minister Tetamashimba has made serious allegations that there is corruption in the Ministry of defence and it is statements like this which can create chaos if you as president don’t address them Your ministers are careless talkers, indisciplined and untouchable and it is all your fault. The ship is sinking because the captain is asleep.
now that banda is drank with power it is time for change
When is this man going to talk about government? When openning ZTF inteady of talking about TRADE he started to attack Sata and HH. Same when he laid the foundation stone, same when he had a press conference.
now that banda can not understand the political stacture of zambia it is time for change
magande is the next president of zambia
RB is self righteous and uushebwa aile na thingz kubuko.
Change of government isn’t distabilising the country am glad RB can feel the pressure of going back to chipata in two years time (if not chimbokaila) if its nonsense to talk about mabengaz corruption which was spelt out by the suppreme court, then its more senseless to appoint a fellow who was mentioned of corruption. We ask God to guild Mr Banda, coz we are headed for doom.
bane let us rally behind magade country first gentelemeni forget about sata ,hichilema and this blind dictator banda.
Goodafternoon all.
Such statements coming from a Head of State are enough to cause instability. Especially if there is no serious ground to be concerned.
Can Mr Banda stop wasting Tax payers Money by always talking about the post newspapers! Coz its like every function, he has to talk about the post and making headlines, if he didnt want that he could have stayed at the farm and enjoy reading the post
On “President Banda says the politicians are hoping to benefit from the instability that will be created in the nation. He has cautioned ministers and Zambian diplomats against being misled by such politicians.” Surely wasn’t there something better to say other than this? Please, let such stuff be handled by our security wings while politics can be done at the MMD party secretariat. Government business, especially at State House, can be focussed on development issues as opposed to others.

Banda is confused. The problem with our witches and wizards is that balowa bantu bosauka ku munzi, why sibangalowe RB?? ise talema mweee!!!
It is actually RB who is destabilising the country by appointing non performers as ministers/high commissioners/ambassadors .Let him cage mike & Teta who are provoking hard working zambians.
RB should draw parallels from what has come of his native Zimbabwe and his new found mentor RGM. Tyranny and barbarism have consequences.
What activities Mr President? If you have failed to run the country, just do a honorable thing, you resign from that position.
Fyabupuba amano yonse yayamwitoloshi ,its just your brains that are not stable,destabilise by useless Dora.
We’ve waited & waited thinking RB will start running the nation & tell us how he hopes to take this country forward. Up to now, NOTHING has come out of his mouth except Post & UPND/PF. This is not what we voted him into office for. Please can someone tell him? He should not lead us into temptation. All appointments are from the same people. So the rest of us should just watch? Are we second class citizens? Out of all the honorable Zambians, why does he only find the ones with questionable backgrounds to appoint? Who is trying to distabilize the country???
By distabilize, does he mean come up with better ideas on how to run the country?
#23 Nine Chale, you are very right. if at all there are such elements, it better to take a low profile and work on them without causing alarm. To some extent I could agree that he could be scared of his own shadow. Which reminds me of instances when after being sent to collect amalasha outside the house in a dark chicken’s ichitele in the late evenings, I often went shouting on top of my voice just to ensure that I scare away a thief just in case he is somewhere near or inside the chitele cankoko. So he might be thinking someone is doing that yet not. But to be certain, he should not have come out as he has.
I expected this RB to comment on repair works if not damages on AIRPORT ROAD. What does he think of Mulongoti as min. of works & supply? Time moving but he is busy appointing/disappointing. How i wish the monkeys were present.
RB is tired! given a chance i would make u appoint me a minister in one night!!!
RB now moves to suppressing the opposition. He wants to scare and confuse the opposition leaders so that they lose focus of the ball to 2011.
# 31 Nkosi wandasa.When are also we going to appointed???The President knows that it is the politicians who want to distabilize the country.Arrest them.what are you waiting for??
Prince Cobra Ichilema in his desperate bus for power he has already a public declaration that his is a make Zambia ungovernable.He has said so out of ignorance that he irrational declaration implies making himself ungovernable.
Prince Cobra Ichilema in his desperate push for power he has already a public declaration that his is a make Zambia ungovernable.He has said so out of ignorance that he irrational declaration implies making himself ungovernable.
The Zambian government will not arrest any anarchists who have announced their plan to make peaceful Zambia ungovernable but the anarchist will ungovern their own lives and arrest their own fantasy.
I wonder if RB is referring to the PF/UPND threat to take to court ECZ following the by-elections in one ward where the the MMD failed to field a candidate as a step to destabilize the country. Is this the smoking gun?
I know he mean Teta and Mulongoti
U dont need to be some top notch mpelembe student to know that mmembe/sata/HH are up to no good….problem is that all u who are pretending not to know what RB is talking about are not here in Zed,and those of u who are here are just plain dull…mmembe is more pure a snake than sata/HH put together…he is on a campaign run to discredit GRZ left right centre. Who ever ,who ever sides with GRZ is labelled foolish,treacherous…look at the way he has been dressing down Emily sikazwe and other women for complaining about the abomination he did with his spoit brat CHANSA…..for the love of peace,please lets not be used by mmembe to fight his childish wars…I feel sorry for amos and other well meaning pipo at the sh.t print.
HH doesn’t understand Zambian politics. He will soon live to see his own call of making Zambia ungovernable eating him live.l

#45 tamumfwa ha ha ha
#43, BOMA, you said, ” mmembe.. he is on a campaign run to discredit GRZ left right centre” Does discrediting govt imply destabilizing the country? Tell us since you are there in Zambia though you have a UK flag.
#43 whatever you call youself, did you see the pictures that your rb referred to as pornography? If you did, did you get an erection at the sight of these same pictures? If not, why didnt you get an erection if its what you call porno? You see a woman in pain and you refer it to porno, you and rb are both sick in your heads.

showing one’s nakedness for whatever reason in public is illegal…#48 …pls as much as i respect your opinion ,pornography is not about erections all the time….5 year old naked children circulated on the net and what your mmembe and his brat circulated are both sickening things and both illegal and both CANNOT raise my bp….other than really upsetting me.
boma ni boma, we do not need mmembe to dicredit GRZ….they have done a good job of it themselves without anyone’s help. we’re not blind dude, or brainwahsed zombies. we dont need to read the post to see that this govt is total bull! we have eyes and ears and i totally wonder who in their rite senses would categorise rb as any sort of leader. i mentioned it one time b4, he has totally sunk two institutions all on his lonseome…two companies (Allen west and the bank) and this is the dude u think can run a country? Discredit GRZ???? Be serious dude! I also live in Zed and have just seen a “Lets Get rid of Rupiah” club on Facebook and so far all members are Zambian! Come on Dude! Hey Walai, wats your email address again?
RB just call for early elections if you love Zambia.
Iwe Boma ni …. Leave the independent media alone. Start your own independent tabloid that will advocate your good ideas. People will buy and read your paper.
dude luve my email addreess is : walaimputi (at) yahoo.co.uk
can somebody tell me anything new on Micheal Jackson. RB isnt wothy talking about. cisushi
Of course you would get upset because you have seen an innocent soul prerishing because of one old man’s poor understanding of handling national issues. 2. the poor woman losing a child, God knows that’s the only child she was ever going to have.
Lads i have an idea may be we can flog RB on ebay.Starting bid 2ngwee!how about that?
Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action, and we have trusted only to rhetoric. If we are really to be a great nation, we must not merely talk; we must act big.”
As a leader, avoid the crowd. Do your own thinking independently. Be the chess player, not the chess piece.
To be a leader, you have to make people want to follow you, and nobody wants to follow someone who doesn’t know where he is going.
#59 I raise it to 5 ngwee… 😉
# 48 mumu,
If to you porno is only when you get an erection, What would you describe your mother who goes stripping herself naked and flashing her opening to cameras in circulating photos online. I presume you don’t get an erection on her do you? How would you report that scenario to the police if you went visiting and you find your friend treating to photos of your mother’ p.u.s.s.y demonstrating online attachments?

Authentic Advocates for Justice and Democracy commends Rupiah Banda
Authentic Advocates for Justice and Democracy has commended President, Rupiah Banda on his leadership.
Organization President, Emmanuel Sikanyika says President Rupiah Banda presents a fair and formidable culture of leadership that embraces the people?s aspirations.
He has since urged leaders in government with ill motives to resign and pave way for leaders that will work for the people.
wat spooks me is that this moron of a president would fail to see the emotional side of those pictures, the pain that woman went through, the loss of an innocent beautiful life. wen i first saw them, my immediate reaction was sorrow that such bull can be allowed to happen and hoping in my mind that the president or whoever wud see these pictures and feel the same and immediately track down that woman and compensate her some how. wat happens? sum muthafacker turns it political and uses it as leverage to start getting back at the post. those pictures were not even made public for petessake!! if the i.d.i.o.t. George kunda who those pictures were first sent to by this kama editor chick categorises himself as a victim well then i hope he dies.
sorry you’ll all, but i just totally hate this government and its fat-nosed president. am not a vain guy who looks at people’s looks but this a-hole leaves me no choice. Walai, sent u a little sumthin.
Mmembe is using this poor little girl. And she has no clue how she has found herself in this situation? Of course she knows, she is a pawn. The game is on and some are bound to be injured. Once in a while, someone is bound to be hit here, a broken nose, a broken bone here and there. That is how things go. What can one say?
#65
Where is Zimbabwe on the list?
This man is really a UNIPst and he has learnt from the best. Remember how KK used to alarm the nation with stories of people bent on destabilising the nation. If RB cannot stand the pressure he should pack his bags and go back to his farm where Mwanawasa redeemed him.
The disgruntled are bound to make more noise. It is a thing most expected, after all their saviour (sata) is tired. We have worked him out.
In the meantime, the led are cluesless about the happenings behind the scenes.
# 68. Its because of such poor leadership. Can you imagine he’s seeking a 5-year term from 2011. Damn!
What can you say? We are not that cruel, we will not kick a dead corpse.
# 74 Blue Blood,
Do you really believe HH’s declaration of making Zambia ungovernable is pressure a seating President can take to make him resign? Don’t you really think these rumbling empty gongs have space to realize their dreams of making the country ungovernable other than trapping themselves ending up actual poor casualties instead? How i wish you knew what you are talking about.Some statements being made by HH of making Zambia ungovernable are not worth pronouncing when you know that a seating president can easily exploit them against you.
#59, FBI, u’d need to pay sumone to get RB as opposed to being paid, even on ebay.
#73The above named countries are known for poverty since inception.The case for zimbabwe is recent,though zimbabwe as a country is now poor: Currency has collapsed in value
Extremely high inflation,Cash shortages, 80% unemployment , electricity power cuts ,mass emigration,Hospital -shortages of medicines ,Land redistribution has been followed by collapse of agricultural production,Lack of foreign currency and power cuts has led to closure of many gold mines and factories, Water supply problems have led to Cholera breaks, Political instability , Lack of foreign investment etc. However they may recover beyond us in future,immediately Mugabe passes.
Be advised and hate to hear it, power is not made in blogs and tabloids but ballot.Voter registration ili nu when you are busy burning in vain in blogs.Real power is in ballot boxes.When MMD is busy mobilizing its voters to register en mass, all you are doing is blog day and day out.Come elections time 99.99% of blogs will be none voters yet expecting change from RB to a Ghost.you have not registered, not identified an alternative or guided the vote in ballots who to land on.Say you heard here,RB has put in an effective real time machinery in his reelection and its rolling.
Breaking News: SATA has just annouced his resignation from PF and Politics. Press conference is still on!
He (sata) has said that an interim committee will take over leadership until a replacement leader is selected at the planned to be convention.
#81 Thanks.
Why have you changed your name?
Ask yourselves, what have i put in action to amass anti MMD votes in the ballot where the verdict is made? Everyone in the opposition is busy fighting for a tabloid front pages to fire insults and not voter mobilization on issues.Do really expect substance out of such misuses opportunities? do really Zaambian voters will be converted against MMD by insults we read here and in Tabloids insulting Zambian women as the editorial on Sikazwe by Mmembe? MMembe insulted and opposed Chiluba in 1996, Mwanawasa 2001, 2006 and RB 2008 but MMD victories have never been altered.Its not perfecting in insults by opposition that win votes but policy articulation challengers in the opposition have lamentably failed to capitalize and sell on.
Breaking in News: SATA HAS RESIGNED FROM ACTIVE POLITICS!!!!!!
Government spokesperson Ronnie Shikapwahas has asked Radio Sky FM to control the content of its programmes. General Shikapwahsa was quoted by radio phoenix saying that Sky FM can cause the type of genocide experienced in Rwanda
Zambia has got only same people to enjoy its cake. Do you think the 99% zambians will continue being docile when they are being trampled upon like this? You are not scared bwana, wait for 2011 when you will see graet REVOLUTION IN ZAMBIA.
Zambian needs to be rescued even if it means the death of Banda and his fellow demons.The docile nation of Zambia surely despite all the sing song of peace is ranked amongst the poorest in the world.I agree with Nathan Nyirenda in his song “Mwe Makufi” I think amano abena Zambia yali chepa.I agree with HH,Zambia needs an uprising,it needs to made ungovernable because its in the hands of demons.We need a revolution now 2011 is too far,elections in Zambia were only genuine in 1991.Force and any means necessay must be used because come 2011 MMD will rig and retain power.Mukanjeba!!!
After Cuba,Zimbabwe is the second most sanctioned country in history.The same Mugabe you term dictator has built hospitals,houses,schools,universities,without Western sanctions that country would have been far.The dictator next door has done more than 4 Zambian presidents! Its a shame to compare ourselves to a heavily sanctioned country when one UK Pence is equal to 8500 Ngwee and one USA cent is equal to 5000 Ngwee.Jerry Rwalings overthrew a corrupt government and excuted many of the demonic leaders who had kept Ghana “Kumunga we fwafwa” for decades and set Ghana on a path to prosperity.Today Ghana is truely a Black Star.It took a Flight Lt and not a Professor to change the course of Ghana.It took all means necessary!
People, stop flagellating yourselves and think about how these bamukukulu have stolen money through the ABSA/TST deal. There is a document, not written by Emmanuel Mwamba and Dickson Jere, doing the rounds on the internet. Mwebantu, we are in the vice-like grip of the Mafia even chi Senior Citizen is clueless how they have stolen and how they are stealing, fishetani ifi.
imwe mwe bantu, stop flagellating yourselves. Think of the Mafia that is running Zambia. The true testimony of this is the scandalous ABSA/TST deal.
Zambia’s President seems and sounds like a rumor monger. A President who is worth the salt cannot fail to mention people threatening the peace. In fact it is him and his friend Mugabe who are a threat to the peace of Zambia. Step aside Mr. Failure. In his statement to Mangani to ensure peace and security, it is really coded meaning protect me and take care of the opposition. Mangani is known to be overly excited and can overact even when the problem is minor. Zambia now is a police state.
they say don’t judge a book by it’s cover but in the case of RB,it’s plain for even the blind to see!
Ma rubbish yeka yeka. Just mixing mince meat and meatballs in the same bowl of pasta.
RB with all his failures and tuntrums is far much better than SATA.
RB has been a waste of Time Please Magande take over this Country. We are going no where with this chap the call RB he is better of at the Farm.
Can some body advise NIPA that they must improve their system of registration especially at payments please. We are spending nights in the cold just to be able to register.
how can we say magande should take over when magande is so quiet ,himself.this is the mistake we always make .we think of who should be president .we need to question the institutions of governance .look at the police .look at the judicial system .look at parliament .these institutions have failed the people ,yet we have the so called bosses always throwing the responsibilities at the presidency .the president wont change zambia alone .its the whole system .it is rotten .
#79 Power in ballots… For the president to say what he said it means he is feeling the pinch. Why should he alarm the nation if he is not worried. He is a lame duck president so he wants to establish a police state like his relative Kaunda did with his countless state of emergencies. Whether or not bloggers do not vote is irrelevant. They are sending the message to, and sensitising, all and sundry.
Another Zero Option? Very old tricks.
Ba Mulenga waku Newcastle, Sober up. If you are insinuating military foolishness forget it. Indeed you are in a castle enjoying yourself but we do not want our mothers , wives and daughters to be raped, neither do we want our limbs to be chopped. There is no uniform outcome in what your hateful heart wishes Zambia to go through.
#48 I AM SURE THAT YOU KNOW THAT RB WAS NOT TALKING LAW, WHEN HE REFERRED TO THE PICTURES AS PORNOGRAPHIC. HE WAS SPEAKING GENERALLY TO MEAN THE PICTURES WERE DISTASTEFUL AND OUGHT NOT TO BE DISTRIBUTED BY A DECENT PERSON. TO KEEP ON TALKING ABOUT “PORNOGRAPHY” AS THE MAIN THING IS TO BE TRIVIAL. CHANSA KABWELA APOLOGISED FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHS BECAUSE SHE UNDERSTANDS THAT THEY WERE OBSCENE AND I THINK SHE SHOULD BE FREED ON A NOLLE PROSEQUE. AS FOR FRED MMEMBE HE IS JUST A MANIAC WHO THINKS THAT HE IS ALWAYS RIGHT AND ANY ONE WHO DISAGREES WITH HIM INCLUDING THE COURTS IS A CHARLATAN, SELL OUT, STUPID ETC.. DEMOCRACY IS ABOUT DIVERSITY INCLUDING DIVERSITY OF IPINIONS. OF COURSE THERE IS NO DIVERSITY IN THE POST, ONLY LETTERS WHICH AGREE WITH MMEMBE’S OPIINIONS CAN BE PRINTED.
Mwe-banthu am tired of this old politicians,i think i can be a better security guard for zambia than RB.
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF A MULTI PARTY STATE IF THE MORONS IN POWER CAN GIVE CHANCE TO OTHERS. AM TIRED OF SEEING THE SOME PIPO
THERE IS A SAYING WHICH GOES LIKE ; IF YOU FALL IN A DITCH AT NIGHT DONT BLAME THE DARKNESS.HE THOUGHT BEEN PRESIDENT IS AS EASY AS DRINKING WATER,U GAT TO THINK MAN WOKE UP
Mwe bakateeka ba Banda Rupiah. Ine I thought you were a Republican President and not a Republic Prophet. Since when did you start prophesying? To me it seems you are running two parallel Governments: One Government may be referred to as “Tetamalongoti” and the other “Shikapwabanda”. I cannot tell who the Republican President is and who the Ministers are. Your prophesy is not true… LImbi mwalilisha beans elyo mwantampa ukulota. Wake up from your dream.
Breaking news, HH considers handing power to SATA and eventaully retires from active politics to business
Come to think of it Magande is not such a bad idea as presido mwe…..viva magande…
