So RB is going to watch the reed dance without Thandi.
iam growing suspucious of RB’s visits to swaziland!!!!!Does he want to marry another wife or what????Or what can king Muswati help us if the economy of his country is fully dependant on south africa and we know very well that the King has no educational qualifications at all.Its high tie RB found better things to do than running aroung in manzini or mabbane looking for a wife.
Kamwendo munjila as usual. This man thinks he has retired and bought himself an island called Zambia and he own two private Jets and he can just fly wherever he wishes with his young wife and go and check on other young girls. Imwe Ba Banda, it is a health risk for an old man like you to fly like that. Please don’t be obsessed with your private Jet.
Bon Voyage Mr.President and enjoy yourself. You can take your time.
What a coincidence ! The Umlhanga / Reed Dance starts this weekend and ends monday
He can stay there forever for all we care!
Icho, he shud become a ka flight attendant pa side RB and make a spare income and the way he globtrots cud have made millions of $$$. baya ku swazi muku tabela ba gelo thats where his chummy choses a new wife evry year. Watch out Thandi for you will become an ordinary citizen soonest like the rest of us.
Dont hurry back,take your time!
AWE chachilamo, Muswati was here, what did they not discuss that they can discuss in Swaziland, this man is busy global trotting when our country has alot of problems. One would not be wrong to suspect that Muswati want’s his friend who has no programme for this country, get many girlfriends and cocubines. Nagu balilanda ati umuti wa AIDS apouli,tefwo. Very soon morning side clinic will be your constant home. Anyway go and enjoy, one day we will know what you are upto with Muswati. On a serious note, citizens can we call for NO ALLOWANCE ON THIS TRIP. LET MUSWATI PAY FOR ALL EXPENSES.
Bye bye. Dont come back!
…but awe imwe mwebantu bapa LT mukalenga alaB akafwe na BP. Imiponto shachilamoooo!
Akulu mphuno on the move as usual,i thot fe was going to go with Titus Jacob Mpundu et al
Thats’s RB for you! doing what he does best! globtrotting. He should have taken his new buddy FTJ with him
He should have just applied for the position of foreign affairs minister
Wasnt King muswati in zambia recently?I hope “Mr Holiday for ever” is not recieving some private lectures on how to sleep around with little girls from the promiscous king.Lets be fair here what can one learn from Muswati?Anyway go get your lectures Mr Holiday for ever by the time you get to Libya your energy will have been drained by those little girls with round breasts and you will be doing what you normally do best Sleeping.Dont snore please you will disturb others.
Swaziland is a decoy, Libya the cake. FTJ free so someone’s going to collect a big thank you from Muammar – watch out for new Libya investment/ strong relations. The game continues
I am not sure whether I should put the blame on conventional Viagra or Mpezeni’s Mtototo. For a man at 72 sure?
This guys is always travelling. Is this normal? Do all African presidents travel like that.
It is rare to here heads of state in developed countries travel so much.
We does RB do the work, on planes?
Uko, kamwendo munjila.
This man has just gone to the Reed Dance without ka bilomo ka TB ! I hope he dies on top so that we squeeze FTJ’s ba11z !
chaaa chakwe uyu he is always on the move.
i believe when we held our trade fair,a few heads of states if not one attended!!! & Ba Dr Maureen SC,,why would you wish death on anyone, eerie isnt it.
Guyz You have said truth Banda is going ther for a girlfriend. Tandiwe you better watch out.
this really a circus. from the time he entered statehouse, then went to nigeria, there has been no stopping this clown from swinging from tree to tree. no wonder monkeys are not happy. swinging is f or monkeys not clowns.
I have noticed that guys with Zambian flags are very moderate with their comments, not necessrily wise but they are not as bad as the USA flag brandishing thugs, followed by south africans, then UK
#21 nabanobe but you realy know me kwena. Please dont tell ka TB. Pantu ka kamfukumuna
Going to Swaziland at the invitation of King Mswati. Nice for RB Then leave for Libya to join other African Heads of States & Govts. Tour of duty. How I wish he included FTJ on this trip to Swaziland,just to create opposition to Auntie Reginaless. She has become possessive aspecially after the aquital. Its nice to be President. Kamwendo all over not stay pansi every week country side on working visit. No wonder there is a lot of suspicion between KING COBRA & HH. Just watch each one of them wants PLOT ONE. WHAT WILL KILL THE PACT IS NEITHER SATA OR HH IS BEING STRAIGHT ON WHO IS TO BE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. ITS HIDE & SEEK GAME.MAWE ABANTU BAYA. PRINCE COBRA IS BUSY HATCHING COUP AGAINST KING COBRA & KING COBRA IS DOING THE SAME WHILST RB & MMD ARE CAREFULY WATCHING EVENTS TO FAVOUR M
from 1 end of the continent to the other
Imwe ena muli na ma jealous chabe. You just wish it was you going to Swaziland and not the 72 year old. Some of you also need to know how to spell the King’s name it is MSWATI not MUSWATI. The Umhlanga or reed dance’s primary function if for young women in Swaziland to donate reeds that will be used to build a wind- break around the Indlovukati or the Queen Mother’s kraal. It’s primary function is not for Mswati to choose another wife, if that was the case then Mswati would have 23 wives and not the 14 he currently has. We should try to get to know African culture from our own sources and not be swayed by the prejudiced reporting on the Continent that is widespread in the West.
The bloggers’ views are a true representation of the peoples’ voices and I wish Rupiah and his accomplices read them. The people are desperate and angry to see the country go to waste.
RUPIAH BANDA IS A USELESS MAN.HE IS SURELY FINNISHED AND CAME ON THIS PRESIDENCY TO ENJOY HIMSELF BEFORE HE DIES UNLIKE HELPING DEVELOP HIS COUNTRY.LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF TRIPS HE HAS MADE SINCE BECOMING PRESIDENT!.HE STARTED WITH NIGERIA,WE DONT KNOW WHAT HE WENT TO DO BUT I SUSPECT HE WENT TO GET CHARMS OR TO GET BLESSINGS FROM TB JOSHUA.2011,PLEASE ZAMBIANS,TRY TO CHANGE FOR THE SAKE OF MOTHER ZAMBIA.
Our president is a pleasure seeker .and he gets hefty allowances for that; he cannot just stop travelling he wants to make as much money as possible in these few years remaing;;so you donnot know?
Well, the Swazi reed dance is on 31st August.Maybe a few virgins will be paraded for akulu mphuno.
Why is he going to Libya? He was there just after elections and he even got tractors, which I suppose are at his farm now. Maybe he wants to go and meet the released terrorist. Anyway vina bwela mochedwa vya chi zungu
24 you are dead right!!!!!!!! But guys joke aside. this man should learn to send his juniors. maiwe. izamugwila jetlag from Swazi to Libya. awe mwe
He is just going on ****ing trip and i wonder whether Zambia as a nation will benefit from such trips. Catile, chaakweeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is so much poverty in Zambia now than it was in the 2nd and 3rd republics. People are walloping in abject poverty. Similarly, prostution is on rampage now.
Pleasure principle!
