Local Government and Housing Minister Benny Tetamanshimba died in the Lusaka University Teaching Hospital last evening. This is according a news report from local radio station QFM.

Mr.Tetamashimba has been admitted in the intensive care Unit of the country’s University Teaching Hospital (UTH) after he was flown back from South Africa where he went to seek medical treatment.

Government spokesperson Ronnie Shikapwasha confirmed that local government minister Ben Tetamashimba has passed away at 19 hours on Saturday.

On Friday, Chief Government Spokesperson Ronnie Shikapwasha disclosed that Mr. Tetamanshimba was recovering well and urged people in the country to pray for the Minister’s speedy recovery.

“Teta is picking up from his illness. I urge the people of Zambia to pray for the Minister and wish him a speed recovery,” Lt-Gen Shikapwasha said on Friday.

Lt-Gen Shikapwasha also said government would keep updating the nation on the health of Mr. Tetamanshimba.

And the MMD in Southern Province has described the death of Local Government and Housing Minister Ben Tetamashimba as a fundamental loss to the party as it had lost a fearless member.

Southern Province MMD Chairman Solomon Muzyamba said the party in the province was very heartbroken at the passing on of Mr Tetamshimba as he was not only a luminary but also a torchbearer of nationalism in the country.

Mr. Muzyamba said Mr Tetamashimba was a very fearless leader who never hid his true vision and belief irrespective of the consequences to him adding that he always put the nation first in all he said and did.[quote]

He said Mr. Tetamashimba will particularly be missed in the MMD where he was a troubleshooter and had the political answer to every political problem.

Mr. Muzyamba noted that Mr Tetamashimba was a friend of many and a pain in the necks of the dishonest adding that he will be greatly missed by all.

And AMICAALL has postponed the 53rd Annual Conference of the Local Government Association of Zambia and the 6th AMICAALL General Assembly.

Local Government Association of Zambia President Charles Mumena said the conference that was scheduled to take place from September 7 to 11th has been postponed to December 7 and 11 of this year following the death of Mr. Tetamashimba.

Mr. Mmumena has since extended the association’s condolences to President Rupiah Banda and the bereaved family on the passing on of Mr Tetamashimba.

Meanwhile, Information and Broadcasting Services Permanent Secretary, Emmanuel Nyirenda has said the funeral gathering for the late Minister of Local Government and Housing Benny Tetamashimba is being held at House Number 345, Independence Avenue, next to the official residence of the Chief Justice Enerst Sakala.

  1. Unless one is immortal, the sting of death awaits every human being and Hon Tetamashimba’s time has just come. He has accomplished his earthly mission and we thank God for heaven’s grace and faithfulness.As a party spokesman, Hon.Tetamashimba executed his task within the mandate with passion and courage expected of a ruling party mouth piece.We pride in his life and now his death.

    But in the departure of Moses, the good lord always brings in a Joshua to soldier on with the collective mission.Institutions are the same and the cause is collective.We mourn our brother and compatriot with pride, compassion and dignity.With his family and constituency, we are together in their pain.

    Rest with God’s Eternal Grace Hon.Tetamashimba.

  2. Two more too go, Mulongoti and Shikapwash.The question is who will be the other mouth piece who is willing to be sacrified? Who will speak for Kanitudila?

  3. MHSRIP
    I just hope the rats in the UTH mortuary will not eat his body.
    He prepared for his demise well, 100 HEARSES, WOW! just like the pharaos.

  4. Well I guess I have to update my vocabulary or is it my dictionary. I Have just realised that the word STABLE in Zambian circles has a different meaning.

    Anyway am not one to beat a dead dog. What is the point.

    Mr TETA M.H.S.R.I.P and my heart goes out to his family who can truly testify what a great tower of strength this man was to them. Especially the wife who was st his bedside. To them this man was not a politician or bootlicker. But a husband and a Dady and they have lost that . I pray the good Lord gives you strength through this testing and trying times.

    Please bloggers, politics aside lets tone down our comments.

  5. Is this the guy or one of the guys at the center of the hearses scandal? I guess his last ride will be in one of his hand picked purchases……….RIP

    • sonzo ish ma dad must have shut u up bad that u hate him that much or do u even knw him or its just a commnt so ur seen??

  6. I never find joy in death,but teta was a problem to the nation,even wen he was not suppose to open his mouth he did and he toked rubbish.rip

  7. Well, in Zambia, one has to die to leave a legacy.
    Cabbage died and now everyone talks about his legacy and now that Teta has died we will hear of some other nonsense.
    Please spare us, this guy was just a bootlicker who only wanted his self preservation. This is the truth and we should not run away from facts.
    Family man or not, this man was not an good example of leadership and its good ridance to Zambian politics.
    Don’t get me wrong, I equally feel for his family which depended on him and wish them strength during this difficult period.

  8. chilande-lande lelo ayaa! i know that death is bad but,infwa yabantu bamo isanguka akasekelo,teta atoba akaputi kuchulu hahahahahaha……

  9. Rest in peace Teta. At least, you have not lived to be condemned for the rot in Rupiah’s government! May God forgive you for being part of the MMD wreck!

  10. R.I.P Teta. In Zambia why dont people just say the truth. The reports on his illness and death are dejavu just lie mwanawasa.1st denial then death

  11. I hope Teta doesnt blame anyone that his death was rigged. On top of that he get his wish fulfilles: a ride in one of those Tetamalilo whips. Bon Voyage monsieur

  12. Mistaken identity. Cropped with monkeys at state house. But how did they miss Shikapwasha and Mulongoti, even RB? He will officially lauch the hearses for his colleagues. One down, many more to go. Regards to MJ.

  13. MHRIP……AFTER READING OF HIS PASSING AND REALISING HOW MUCH MOST HAD LITTLE POSITIVE TO SAY OF HIS DEATH,I FELT SAD FOR THE FAMILY,I COULDNT HELP BUT SAY A PRAYER FOR HIS WIFE N KIDS AS I WENT TO SLEEP…

  14. Sad for his kids who dif not choose to be born to such piece of s-h-i-t. Burn in hell Tentamalilo. I appreciate that we’ll all die but no tears for Teta.

  15. #20, you have hit the nail on its head! Dying shouldn’t be an excuse for glorifying a lost person like Teta. Since he resigned from UPND, the man was nothing but a bootlicker! This man has not contributed anything to liberalizing Zambia from irresponsible politics! Teta was a bufoon, lets face it. Death has liberated us from this man. Now we can’t wait for Mulongoti, Vernon Mwanga and Mr. ‘Nyamasoya’ himself to go. Lets applaud Death!

  16. PSALMS121 VS 1. i WILL LIFT UP MINE EYES UNTO THE HILLS,FROM WHENCE COMETH MY HELP.TO THE BEREAVED FAMILY, SO SORRY PLZ ACCEPT MY CONDOLENCES.GOD LOVES EVERYONE AND HE SAW IT FIT THAT HON. REST THAN SUFFER IN PAIN & ANGUISH.RIP

  17. yes finally this guy has kicked the bucket , it ‘s good .He thought he will see 2011 bye for now see you during judgement day

  18. Death is a genuine friend. Teta was irresponsible in his life, there is nothing positive i can recall he did except telling us mwanawasa needed to be replaced

  19. Its offical, he is dead. At least he wont get back from the dead. We can now enjoy some quite. Well till Mulongoti opens his trap. Oh and Shikapwasha.

  20. M.H.S.R.I.P!
    I never liked the guy but still it’s sad to see him go… no matter how you dislike person, you wouldn’t wish death on them. It’s sad that he never had a chance to learn to be a good guy who would champion the cause of the poor, rather than his bosses. Now to Ronald Shikapwasha, how will he be abale to reconcile the death of Teta with what he said about his recovery? Why do these guys have to lie even in someone’s death? Do they have any shame whatsoever? Disguting!

  21. What a loss. God knows what he takes. We blame noby. Masy his soul rest in internal peace. Zambia has lost one of the defenders of truth. Kinshasa to me became to cold for me. My work became sour. Teta is no more. Zambia will only appreciate him in his death. You died a man

  22. Zambia mourns, we all mourn. The man we shal remember. He did it it in the name of Zambia. We misunderstood him him i n all he did. Now we will understand him in his death
    What a loss. God knows what he takes. We blame noby. Masy his soul rest in internal peace. Zambia has lost one of the defenders of truth. Kinshasa to me became to cold for me. My work became sour. Teta is no more. Zambia will only appreciate him in his death. You died a man

  23. tepapa nga papa waku roma? who’s next? I’m sure even in his death he’s still arguing with st. Peter at the Pearly gates

  24. it’s so sad. he worked too hard for the MMD party, he will surely be missed by his family ,party and collegues

  25. As much as we shall say rest in peace, it is also important that when we are still on this earth we don’t consider ourselves as being immortal by the virtual of being part and parcel of the govt and the irresponsible statements we make about others can also be applicable to us when we pass on more especially when our sole purpose is to impress the appointing officer. Teta shall surely be missed by all in The MMD especially that in the last elections he delivered to them North Western Province.

  26. I hope and pray he prepared himself to meet the Lord. MHSRIP. Anyway he did his earthly duties diligently in MMD not considering what he did before getting in politics at his previous employment.

  27. Now, north-western province is going back to opposition. he was the only man causing problems in that province for HH. I can assure you now that RB ‘s time is over in that province. This man managed to tell people to vote for Mazoka. The problem is that they can not vote for sata. it is pay time for MMD. where are they going to get vote now. In 2011 UPND will take back western, north-western, southern, sata still will win copper-belt, lusaka, luapula and northern. where is Rupiah going to get the votes. The pact should look very seriously, who they feel can be accepted in areas they need top up votes. already copperbelt and lusaka belongs to opposition. RB can capitlise in areas where they can not vote for sata or HH. So solve this puzle.

  28. #40 the problem with TETA is he made more enemies than friends, im sure even some politicians see relief in his depature, its sad but well thats how he chose to do things for he pushed around everyone to create space for himseelf…

  29. Surely the Funeral speech will be something like this: “we have lost a great man, a beacon of peace, a pillar of the party and nation, a patriotic citizen, a servant of the people, a hard working man, a man of the people, a fighter for justice, a peace-maker,…….and it will be difficult to find a replacement!” Whether all these attributes are true, only God knows. Let him just rest in peace!!

  30. Next is ,mulongoti and RB. we cant wait to see these chaps going ,they have torn apart zambia and Levy would have fired them if he was to come back from the dead.They messed up zambia big time.

  31. Teta aleangala naka Masebo, hammered in less than 2 months. So are going to accuse Masebo of being happy just like that boy Shakafuswa did to FTJ on Levy’s death.

  32. Lets not be bloody heartless… As someone said before, politics aside, MHSRIP.. ITS VERY unzambian to wish misfortune on the dead #49

  33. I WILL NEVER FIND SORROW IN THE DEATH OF A STUPID MAN. AT LEAST WE WAIT FOR ALL BIG MOUTH POLITICIAN TO GO DOWN SO THAT THE WAY TO CHALLENGE RB ON MMD TICKET IN 2010 BECOMES CLEAR WITHOUT INTIMIDATION. PREPARE FOR THE FUNERAL IF IT IS NOT MULONGOTI IT WILL BE SHIKAPWASHA OR MAGENGA. WATCH MY SPACE. AS FOR KATELE KALUMBA THANKS FOR EVRYTHING. US THE BWILE PEOPLE IN YOU WE TRUST.

  34. # 40 I agree with you this man caused problems for himself. That is why it is important to play a low profile in society for you never know what will happen next. Too bad for his wife and kids even if the dude was a pain in the a***s

  35. My deepest condolences to the berieved family. We are All mortal human beings and such should not take it for granted that we shall not die no matter how when and where. The key term here is to respect the dead. Remember the dead were once alive like us. Let us not judge the dead as the Almighty is there to judge all of us. May the soul of the departed Minister rest in perfect eternal peace.

  36. Did this guy ever apologize to anyone for grief and agony or even those that he stepped on their toes? Let us hope hell is not as hot as they tell us. If it is I feel sorry for man. I lived in California, it can really get hot. Hope it is not as hot. With no AC, aahh.

  37. All said and done, we only hope our departed brother reconciled with his God. “For the dead know nothing but the living know that they will die”.

  38. Sad that Ted has died. But surely Zambians will not miss him that much. He had a bad approach to politics which made me hate him personally. But now that he is gone, I can only say that MHSRIP.

  39. RIP. # 2, thx for encouraging words of wisdom. I have personally taken note. On the other hand, why have so many politicians died this year?

  40. Phew! one imbecile less, and you hypocrites should stop eulogizing bad people when they die. Teta was one problem too many, we are told he never even used to sit in his office to do what he being paid for so don’t give us the tired load of tosh of ‘ O we lost a hard worker bra bra…..’ my sympathy goes as far as saying he was a father and his kids and wife will miss him. As for the nation, NO we will not miss him. MHSRIP

  41. “Give me PEACE or give me DEATH” someone said. For sure Hon. Teta got the first, I wonder about the second. I hope in death he can now find PEACE. May God bless his SOUL!!!!

  42. I personally will only miss his for his comedy. He never spoke constructively and his contribution in national development is nowhere to be seen. I wont miss him in development.

  43. Zambians especially christians let us be truthfull about what we say concerning somebody’s death. I have caught a phrase” may his soul rest in peace” . Its really a very soothing phrase but at the same time wrongly used. The word of God says that there is no peace to one who dies in sin. This means every person has to make peace with the Lord God while here on earth. REPENT AND BELIVE IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. Thus if a person dies in sin, there is no eternal peace for him but eternal suffering.
    Having said this , let me turn to TETA. Sorry that he has died at the time when MMD-thieves wanted him most. I just pray for the family have faith and trust and strength in the Lord God as many people will have no kind words for them based on the inspid character of TETA. FAMILY JUST TRUST GOD.

  44. One more thing we all know RB will declare a couple of days of mourning whatever, those of us who didn’t like him please please play whatever music you want to and as loud as your music systems will alow. Enjoy yourselves this week, we just have one life to enjoy.

  45. I just hope that Teta does not come back from the dead becauze if he did, and he found out that we are a happy lot at his demise, I can only imagine the severity of his venom when he lashes out at us. Pls God, we careless if he is in hell or heaven but pls keep him there, away from us. Pls God!

  46. #70 Kalos2020 .this is good luck for our National team,we are happy so tonight am gonna get f##ked up ready to accept the results.Iyeeeee chipolopolo ba Zambia nalelo bawina chipolopolo iyeeee chipolopolo..

  47. The views of the people here clearly indicates how unpopular this fman was. No wonder LPM never appointed him full minister. What did the tod faced man see in him? Retrogressive appointments zoona.

  48. Agony is when a BAFFOON dies and his fellow BAFFOONS Lick his boots by praising him…same applies to some “hungry clergy BAFFOONS” who will deliver huge praises in support of society’s MOST USELESS chap.You will O be judged by the content of your characters

  49. #70, this is good for chipolopolo, if they loose ….’its because the country is mourning, just lost a minister’ on the other hand if they won it wil be that ‘they wanted to dedicate their victory to a late minister who loved football’. depending on the result, you choose either of those pronouncements …

  50. Much as I know that we are all bound to die one
    day,one can help but wish death to some of these haertless leaders.Next is Kunda,Shikapwasha,Mulongoti and Mwaanga.These guyz are all sick and thats why they dont care what decisions they make on behalf of the people.

  51. katele kalumba well done now move to mulongoti, shikapwasha and kanitundila we need pipo like katele to teach some toko toko pipo some lesson.

  52. The problem with the current leadership including Rupiah himself is that they lack humility and respect for the people. Their language is arrogance, boasting, lies, threats and intimidation. Chiluba, Mulongoti, Mwaanga, Kalumba, Shikapwasha, etc are a problem to the nation and they must change. People did not like Teta’s big mouth. Sorry for his family.

  53. # 86- mwanya bane,

    Tell us something here; is it Katele who took off Anderson Mazoka, Levy Mwanawasa, John Mwanakatwe, Edward Shamwana, Daniel Lisulo, Kebby Musokotwane, Richard Ngenda,Wezi Kaunda, Nalumino Mundia, Simon Kapwepwe, Lucy Sichone, Bright Mwape, Peter Lishika, Paul Tembo, Mainza Chona and many more leaders that have gone ahead of Teta?

  54. Cawama kafwa kamambala. Can we try the hearses please? People of Zambia make sure he pays 300 hundred grudas. Nice one Teta and thanks for leaving us in peace. Next na ci VJ na aids yaciko.

  55. Lets pray. Dear God, we are glad that you have answered our prayers. You are a God that give and you also take away from us. Lord, you took long to take away this man from us. Now that he is gone, dear Lord, dotn even comteplate doing a miracle here by bringing him back. We may take that as a bad joke Lord. Keep him safe for you Lord. Make sure Lord that he does not make good friends with the devils coz he may poison you with the devil. Lord we speak from experience. We thnk you Lord and bless you. Amen!

  56. May His soul rest in peace. A few hours ago i felt like the spirit was telling me this man had an opportunity to ask for forgiveness which he did at the last moment of his death. His wife was beside him. She may not have heard him but he spoke with the help of the Spirit of God. He may have made a lot of mistakes in life whether privately or publicly as a politician. One thing for sure he was human, he stood for what he believed in whther it was bootlickin or not Only God & him and other people around him would know that. He might not have been a hero but whatever contribution he made on earth whther to the general public or to individuals, whether to many or a few i belive those people benefited in one way or another. God is Loving and merciful. We are saved by God’s Grace not our…

  57. MHSRIP …Its part of life and a worry for all. Nomatter how great we may be, there is one great OPPRESSOR ,mr DEATH.He can not be bought,exchanged or corrupted. The other worry is where He takes you – Heaven or to Hell. “WARD 21″ has seen many so called great pipo go to Hell because of being ^^^^^^ to the things of the world. BLOGGERS, enjoy your day,pliz lets wish for good things for those that are dying in our time.”the dead are good”.GOD only is the judge.

  58. Am very happy with this development. Atleast we will not be listening to foolish comments everyday coz they have gone with the chap. Am very very sure that he is going to hell……………………

  59. #Supergal, am not timid. I will not wallow in pretencies, coz I like to speak my mind out. No mneed for diplomacy or veiled statements, call it a spoon if its one, not a big spoon if its a spade. #100, yeah right, former pente mate!

  60. Should be realizing that it is more important to buy life serving items than spend huge sums of money to procure 100 he.sears.I will continue to say the deal was a bad decision. which was not done in good faith.I have said before that Let Thandiwe demonstrate how The Zambulance works and Teta inaugurate the Manda manda.because they seem to have great faith in their innovation.We all going to die one day but we should leave a good legacy.For me this Honorable was an opportunist with a big mouth, who has died shamelessly boot-likering evry politicians arss who gave him bread.Enjoy the ride in one of your he,sears the other 99 can line up the convey for official use. If I die dont bother to ferry me in your fancy Mandax2, I will find my way.RIP

  61. God gives and God takes MHSRIP. In remembering him lessons should be drawn from his character whilst he was alive, he was a maginificent, “Swinger”, he betrayed and undermined Anderson Mazoka seriously during the time he was his Veep and was holding meetings with Levy to destroy UNDP soon after the 2001 General Elections. Saki and Patrick Chisanga stayed on, the lesson is that when you have a genuine cause stick with it for better or for worse. It is as a result of people like him that the opposition in Zambia has become weakened, similar characteristic was displayed by Nervous Mumba who when in the opposition was trotting to State House to devulge what the opposition were planning. Let us have principled leaders for 2011 ready to stand, “Shoulder to Shoulder” and not fall pron to…

  62. My condolonces to his family and close friends. May God comfort his family in these trying times. We thank God for the life He gave Teta. To Teta’s family kalebalika.

  63. Death should never be put far fetched in life because we move with it. It is for this reason that people should watch over their mouths and speak harmony always. M.Y.R.I.P, Teta you pushed many too far !!!!

  64. Correction meant UNPD and not UNDP. After Teta left UNPD, Liato followed, Mtesa followed and many others and these were some of the people AKM relied on and it was quite clear that his party had been robbed of victory in 2001. They all got Ministerial positions in MMD Gov deserting their friend. When Levy was ill it was Teta again talking about succession until he was ruled out of order by his Party, he was again showing his swinging characteristic when he sensed that Levy will not recover. It is not the kind of life a man with a conscience would want to live or emulate, but may be it is this type of a person who make successful a African politician?

  65. #112 what respect iwe….. this man never had an iota of respect for the living, now that he is dead what respecet does he expect from people. Give and it shall be given back to you, good measure, pressed down shaken together, shall men give into your bossom. Yeah, take this Teta!

  66. TETA openly mocked Mazoka when he got sick. I recall that when rumor went round that Mazoka had been poisoned, the man (Teta) jocked mockingly on ZNBC that he would disclose to the nation what was kiling Mazoka . He was refering to the late Mazoka’s status. Now he has fallen in the same pit. Please, If you live in a glass house dont throw stones. Maybe its time we had logical comments on issues back in Zambia. MHSRIP

  67. They say those who live in glass houses should not throw stones, not long ago after the monkey business with Mpombo, Mulongoti said to Mpombo that they had missed an opportunity for a state funeral meaning that mulongoti wasnt happy that mpombo survive the charge. This is now a right time for him to celebrate this ‘state funeral’ My appeal to the councils is that please keep one manda manda for teta’s use. Umushili tawikuta wasenda neyi impalume yafikansa. Will definitely miss your nonsense and mouth diarrhea.

  68. To quote the Late Lucky dube, Now that he is gone, oh what a bull people will talk about him but he never got this love when he was alive, not even from this blog. To others I would say you dont know what you’ve got till you lose it all, neither do you miss your water till your well runs dry. Its sad that people can even pass ill comments over someone’s death, it may seem a joking matter but wait until it draws closer to your family, only then will you know how heavy it is. MHSRIP

  69. Number 122, you should know that when you are good to people, they will always miss your presences. What are you expecting people to say about Mugabe? Take time and reflect on your life 122 also, maybe you are in the same shoe? Do not take peoples life for granted, a human spirit is powerful. Our nation is groaning today because of having leaders who think when they are in power they are small gods. I have no sympathy to people who doesn’t have compassion for others.

  70. #124 thats true, teta opnenly told electorates not to vote for pipo whose trousers were falling. God has a way of putting things in right places.

  71. Spokesperson Ronnie Shikapwasha just this Friday last claimed “Teta is picking up from his illness. I urge the people of Zambia to pray for theMinister and wish him a speed recovery”. People must now be wondering just what the hell this Reverend of excrement was talking about. One can lie about any issue, but not death please. We all have relatives even in government and UTH ICU, we all knew when Shikapwasha was claiming Teta was picking up, the scatterfool was breathing its last. I do not think there has ever been a time in Zambia when the demise of a minister has stirred up so much joy and happiness in Zambians. You SOB, go rot in hell, for eternity. And may Mlongoti, Dora, Kanitundila and Shika follow you soon.

  72. I don’t know what Shikapwasha’s intents were but its possible and it often happens that some critically ill patient may show some “signs of improvement” before they collapse.In villages when someone who all along been very ill asks for some food then they know such a one is about to die. Then again “a stable condition” doesn’t necessarily mean “a good condition”, it simply means that-stable.It’s possible to even “stabilize” a patient in a vegetative state or brain death.

  73. Now that he is dead, at least the people of this country deserve to be told what disease h was suffering from? After all, we paid for his medical expences in Morningside and UTH. I have a pretty good idea though, the chap was always fond of nailing mahule yaku National Aseembly Brothel. You can see other chaps who shared the same girls with him, they are also “picking up” as Shikapwasha would say. They also need our prayers, to depart sooner than later.

  74. #94 Well said…’God bless the dead.’ Well Teta played a role in our lives whether positive or not. Each one of us/country in general is affected one or the other. It is for this reason that many of us on here are presenting varied opinions about the late Minister. Therefore, there’s a need to respect peoples opinions good or bad about the Minister!! Let those that see it fit to criticise other peoples views QUIT doing so. There’s a common way to describe the dead but unfortunately it’s not obligational. So let people express there views freely. So long Teta…….!!

  75. Good redance, he can go and become Local Government Minister in HELL, I cant wait for Chiluba to die. Good will take them all. They have hurt us enough. Stop feeling sorry for this piece of sh!t.

  76. We all know that it’s darkest before dawn but since Satamashimba came back from South Africa, he never uttered a single word, he has been without “burongo”. So this samantic of trying to support Shikapwasha that maybe Teta recovered a little bit before kicking the bucket is silly. Besides, there are gadgets at UTH that show progress and this chap has been recording “decline” since he was flown back from South Africa where the doctors declared him “brain dead”. Most of his vital organs also ceased to function in SA and he was sent back home to die. So I do not know what Shikapwasha and Prion are talking about. It’s like saying Kunda is “picking up” when we can all see his dry cough is worsening and like Teta he is turning metallic gray!

  77. Yaba kwati bufi, bamudala baya. That goes to all of us we shall all die so no time to make enemies while on earth. Teta had more enemies than freinds even in his own party. Iam not sure he had the time to reconcile with all of them, in this case only one place for him HELL. Dont take me wrong, iam not Judging him.

  78. Zambians aren’t we funny people, You respect the dead and yet the living you pour scorn on. If someone wants respect when they are dead they better be respectful when alve. The minute someone dies you want to confer them good tiddings. YOu hypocrites that think it’s christian to respect the dead when the issue of respecting the dead comes from pagan babylon where they thought the dead went into the sky to become gods. The pagans of Rome used to say “Requiescat in pace” but you christians have adopted the pagan saying into rest in peace.

  79. Ever since, tetamashimba was mentioned been sick, many people of zambia wished him dead. This man was evil as it was mentioned by Mrs Masebo. why dont you say the truth people. He is the one who dismantled UPND in north-western province. Now is gone. it very good in political set up, but bad for his family. This man denounced Mazoka on ZNBC about his sickness. His is the one brought this dead wood RB. He is punished by his sins. good for the country, sad for his family. The pact should start campaigning without wasting any time in his consituency. I hate RB. since teta is dead, the convetion of MMD will go ahead. All those who did not want to fight with this evil man will start druming up campaign for themselves.

  80. No. 143 Hold your fire Kizito. We all didn’t like Teta. But the man is dead now. The least we can do is to avoid commenting if we have no kind words for him. I don’t know if this man will rest in peace.

  81. Its quite sad that a man that spent 53 years on earth has little or nice words from anyone. Unfortunately, he chose the path himself. Somehow, we have to believe his wife and children will actually miss him. From my side of the fence however, I agree with what has been said already….his mouth will actually rest now….and with what he tried to say about Levy, I’m sure the big man will thump the loud mouth if at all they meet on the other side…..

  82. No. 143 ninshi Bakamba? If it was possible to get near his dead body kuti nayaposapo ”kanitundila”. Or even ”seriously kufyola bad kind” they way they do it in Nigerian movies. Good riddance. I have made reservations for 2 hearses one for Lusk and the other for Solwezi. Go chi-colour……..

  83. #140, I’m not sure if you’re informed enough to pick an arguement with me over the description of a patient’s progression to death.If you are a medical doc then I declare that you are a danger to the public that you serve and a disgrace to the medical fraternity.For your own education,brain death preceeds organ death.At brain death vital organs are functional and can be harvested for donation.When vital organs are dead we have what is called “legal death”.By the way, what ‘gadgets’ are those which can record “decline” are you talking about?If you are the type who celebrate death simply celebrate but don’t bring in that nonsense of ‘vital organs’, ‘gadgets’ at UTH because there’re docs blogging on this forum who have worked at UTH.

  84. Any way, we are all going to die at some point. we will die when people still loves us. In bemba they say” kulandalanda chachifwaika kuti watuka fumu”. This man insulted every body including witchcraft Katele kalumba. Now he is put to his right place. God please take away as well the following people for the betterment of our country” Mwaanga, Rupiah banda, mulogoti, kapwasha, chiluba. leave katele as he will be assisting you kill them fast and make him killed last. May good lord guide us in this terrible time in our beloved land, pround as we stand amen.

  85. #146 The Gambino
    Teta’s honesty? please give a break, are you on ‘crack ‘or something. He was the most untrustworthy , unreliable and dangerous person. All you hypocrites please stop singing praises for him he’s not, has never been and will never ever be worthy of any praise .He was a lumpen and we should teach other lumpens still alive that we will not shower them with ‘ o he was a good man, o he was a hard work’. Lets call a spade a spade Teta was useless our symphathy should only be directed towards his family.

  86. It’s wrong to comment negatively about the dead but to be honest, Teta’s mouth needed some rest at whatever cost. May his mouth rest in peace. This temptetion to comment on his death is too high.

  87. what is wrong with your president,, when he is saying teta was likable person…!!! Likable to who???. Everybody hated this evil man, even in MMD, they did not like him. so what is rupiah banda talking about.!!!!!! Rupiah banda will not win in north-western province now. remember Bettis mushala is in UPND now. he even said it is over for rupiah banda in north-western province. however, other provinces do not want george kunda as vice president because bwazani RB cheated them,,, not this time RB. Where will the votes come from for him to win election,,, thats why is saying Tatamachimbwe is likable man. The pact must put somebody who can be accepted by areas where they need top up votes. do not concetrate in areas where you are already popular,,,,,,,,,MMD will be history,,,,

  88. 156… Thanks for your finding answer… The people mentioned here are evil….To start with zambian suffered alot under these men….they rigged election in 2001, 2006, 2008, some of these men you do not need to be reminded. In malawi when they heard the chief rigger in zambia is in malawi, they almost rioted,,, Can you be pround to come to a country with such recordes. years back may be before you were born,,, zambians used to go to UK without visa, some of your people in zambia were caught with madracks. Teta has a comany in Mansa which belongs to his family just like RB one company is run by his son, telecommunications, you do not sell zamtel..I work in telecommunication in UK, with two Masters degres in Computer netwroking , as well as MSc in Telecommunications,, you do not telecommun

  89. MY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE….
    WHY DID MMD GOVT TAKE HIM TOO LATE TO SOUTH TREATMENT……. DID RB KNEW THAT HE WAS SICK BUT WENT AHEAD AND APPOINTED HIM MINISTER- WHEN DID RB KNEW TETA WAS SICK FOR JOB?…….. WHY DID MMD GOVT BRING HIM BACK TO UTH WHEN HE WOULD STAYED IN SA FOR TREATMENT………..ZAMBIANS DESERVE ANSWERS!!!

  90. 149 – Prion. Just enjoy studying Political Science of Mao Zedong in China and keep clear of medicine. When your Teta arrived at Morningside, he was subjected to pretty standard severity scoring systems in his case acute physiology and chronic health evaluation and the simplified acute physiology score which reflect values obtained within the first 24 hours of ICU stay to predict hospital outcome. In order to figure out severity indexes that monitor and quantify disease process and organ dysfunction in a continuous and dynamic fashion, he was also subjected to a sepsis-related organ failure assessment score by means of sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA). On all these, he failed hence his discharge to come home and die. As for legal death, it varies depending on which country,

  91. BUT ZO ONA CHABIPA, BA MUDALA BAUMA DEPAA. YAAAA AAA, ZO ONA WE LIVE IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH. I DIDNT EXPECT BA MUDALA TO DIE SO SOON. ANY WAY SORRY FOR THE WIFE AND THE LOVELY KIDS. BUT BA MULAMU BANA TETA NABO TABALOMONEKABWINO THESE DAYS, KALEMONEKA KWATI KALYAKA. ANY WAY, CHABIPA ESPECIALLY FOR THE YOUNG KIDS WHO WILL LIVE LIFE WITHOUT THE DADDY. TETA WAS A GOOD HUSBAND BUT A VERY HORRIBLE WORKER. MAY HE NOT REST IN PEACE FOR THE HARM HE HAS CAUSED FOR OTHERS EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY.

  92. 165. MWATUTINYA……ALL THOSE BIG WORDS BA MUDALA ZOONA U SHOULD HAVE HELPED BA TETA TO RECOVER THEN. WHAT ARE U DOING IN CHINA WITH THE KNOWLEDGE YOU ARE PROMULGATING ON THIS BLOG.

  93. 149 – Prion said: “brain death preceeds organ death. At brain death vital organs are functional and can be harvested for donation”. Come to Zambia and try this out, you will see how fast you will be arrested and charged with first degree murder. This has to be the most s t u p i d and illogical medical reasoning I have ever come accross. If you are studying to be a doctor, I would rather consult Sangoma Sansakuwa than a moron like you.

  94. No state funeral for Satamashimba, we are so tired of these state funerals, tears are running dry out here sure. Sooner than later, we shall be dubbed the Christian Wailing State Funeral Nation.

  95. One more down. At least another 100 to go! We take comfort in the fact that God is answering our prayers!! Shikapwasha and your other fake reverends, continue living in your fool’s paradise by pretending that the dying are improving when they’re in fact already dead! I don’t know who exactly you think you’re folling by that c.r.a.p besides yourself and your paymasters. Next one to go: (Fill in the blank).

  96. Another powerful proof that God answers his people’s prayers! Thank you Lord! Please quickly take the rest; you know them.

  97. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but one thing is certain GOD is the one that grants life and takes it away. May his family find strength and courage to face the future after the demise of the Hon. Minister.

  98. Just wondering who Teta is going to be supporting when they meet: Mazoka or Mwanawasa? Since he once was for Mazoka before he became against him; and was for Mwanawasa beforee he was against him!! And this is the man you want us to praise in death? Gimme a break! The man was a traitor who did anything only for what was in it for himself. May he rot in hell.

  99. #165,The practice of medicine is not done via google.I asked you a simple question and I repeat: What gadgets are there at UTH which were indicating “decline”?And by the way, decline of what?Your trying to sound informed about the practice of medicine simply exposes one thing:YOUR LACK OF A CLEAR CLINICAL THOUGHT but I hope you’re not a doc.

  100. No. 176 Let’s be moderate in our comments. Teta was surely a pain in some part of the body but writing bad about him won’t change a thing.

  101. No. 165 I can’t believe your use of the English language. Is it just typing errors or do you have serious problems with English?

  102. MHSRIP and may his family find comfort. We are all on the departure list, to leave this world sooner or later so may we all not forget that. Dust to dust as the Almighty ordained.

  103. 180. do not worry about writing good grammer here,,as long as you understand what is being said…our brother be rushing somewhere when he heard this foul is dead meat,,,he just decided to drop one word for our happiness for this good sunday in zambia. amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  104. Someone pinch me please! Teta is dead. Nine Chale sorry but there are people you just feel like jumping up and down when they are dead. Teta is one of them. I know he was used by Bwezena. The man had to do s t u p i d work which if he was principled and had a brain cell in his skull should have resigned. I hope this teaches a few kiss asses back home. Sorry Nine Chale but I hope he rests in pieces!

  105. #171,I think I understand the level you are at but listen man,it doesn’t matter which country you are in,harvesting of organs is done after brain death and prospective donors do make legal declarations to that effect so the issue of “come to zambia and you will be sued for 1st degree murder” does not arise.Any doctor who has undergone proper training has done a course called “Forensic Medicine” or “Legal Medicine” so he/she understands both the medical and legal aspects of brain death,legal death and organ harvesting.Legal death doesn’t depend on a country as your seemingly dead brain is leading you to think but these are standard terminologies used in the field of Forensic Medicine which is far way above what you can assimilate so I won’t take you into details.Heard of ethics?

  106. Very sad news indeed. Teta had he interest of the Country at heart.
    Even more serious is why Mr Shikapwasha said Tetawas getting better when the opposite was the truth. This behaviour of Ministers tellying ‘white’ lies is why we shall not develop. Can any outside person believe the sincerity of our Ministers? Or was it that the medical people at UTH were telling the minister porkies?

  107. Zambians I am organising a party to celebrate ka Teta`s death. Details will be posted on here. Yippppeeeeee! Na kafwa kaba utumolu!

  108. 186.. Do you know why sata is not involved in plundering national resourses decipite too close to kafupi chiluba. He knew sata can say it public…….sata even said he was not aware of anything until he was shown document by mwanawasa,,, we do not know whether true he can show him. he is not honest man as well…and must die as well. teta good day for zambia….!!!!!!

  109. Iwe Prion (J). Teta was HIV positive so there is no way he could donate any organ. Not even his ugly nose. Get a cold one and celebrate. The ***** is dead YIPPPPPPYYYYYYEEEEE!

  110. Iwe Prion (J). Teta was H I V positive so there is no way he could donate any organ. Not even his ugly nose. Get a cold one and celebrate. The ***** is dead YIPPPPPPYYYYYYEEEEE!

  111. Iwe Prion (J). Teta was H I V positive so there is no way he could donate any organ. Not even his ugly nose. Get a cold one and celebrate. The i d i o t is dead YIPPPPPPYYYYYYEEEEE!

  112. While it’s sad that he has died, he was a loose cannon who did more harm than good as a minister/politician.
    I’m irked by GRZ being so secretive about illnesses of leaders

  113. Too bad for the family, but for Zed, it’s a pity there wasn’t a better way for him to exit our lives. And dude, you scampered without revealing the mother of all corruption!

  114. #191,I’m sorry biggy I don’t celebrate death so just enjoy your celebrations.He might have been HIV +ve just like we have some HIV +ve bloggers on LT but it still doesn’t qualify as reason enough to celebrate death.The devil brought death to mankind and celebrating it is like celebrating the existence of evil and that I refuse to do.It’s funny how the internet technology can make sane people abandon the basic elements of humanity.There have to be time and season for everything.

  115. i wounld mince words about comrade teta, This man regardless of being a family man was horrible to the leadership of Zambia. Sometimes death is a good thing to preserve the good. May be Gods mercy has once again prevailed to restore order and diginity to the leadership of zambia. One by one they will be stupid and abuse US Zambia and one by one they will die. Viva Zambia

  116. Prion (J) we have been made to believe even a a devilish person has to be respected because he is dead. It took a while for thieves in Zambia to realise you can steal from the grave and still not be haunted as the belief was!

  117. #160 Kizito, HERB says things that are totally opposite from the feelings of the citizens. Not too long ago, he said that Zambians had accepted Chiluba’s acquittal and thanked them for that. A few weeks later, it is one of the most divisive issues in the country.

  118. Prion if you are a thief you are a thief. It doesn`t matter who you s t e a l from. Dead or alive! Unfortunately ka Teta s t o l e from you and me. lol! The game is live on the net by the way.

  119. One pain in the A*S*S is gone, we await JV, Mulongoti and Shikapwasha, RB can wait abit.

    then the birth of democracy in zambia ll indeed shoot……………………

    no regrets for his death sorry for the wife/widow and the children but for the Nation haleluya……………..

    Raise if possible (RIP)

  120. Rest in pieces ka TETA. Please tell us how Pinoche, Idi Amina, Wacko, Amigo are doing. Ukushipa uko uli nomba ka Teta. There is no Bwezani to cover your a s s by the way!

  121. Bane Muloshe bwino ici icipupa called Teta. Nakuba bufi. I hope you guys find peace and comfort in the devil because that`s where this evil man is. No word will change that. You can cry how ever you want. Zambians should rank among the best where amnesia is concerned. The drug trafficer woman gets a death sentence in China they cry like babies. The evile man Castro Chiluba dies they cry like babies.

  122. “Spot the difference”! How many of you Zambians the photograph above has three people in it? I bet very few! Chances are MMD cadres like the plonker Mr Capitalist and the irritating MMD Chiefbootlicker didnt!

  123. Yes!!! At long last death is now helping us out. Even when all appears lost with Nyamasoya harassing everyone, even monkeys, death comes in handy; to terminate the self-acclaimed indomitables. There goes Teta; never again to utter his rubbish. I bet even vultures would not find his stinking body appetizing. In a nutshell, Teta is gone and this is a plus for mother Zambia. From now on we are counting, one down, VJ, Kunda, Shikapwasha, and very hopefully Nyamasoya to follow very soon in tandem. With this sequence of events, we would say things are looking up for mother Zambia. VIVA DEATH!!!

  124. Zambia/Algeria game is 23.00hrs Z time according to the press. Bangwele, they bwant our players to be dosing. I mean Algeria shld only be an hour or so difference with Z.

  125. All men reach and fall. What remains is legacy. I wonder what manner of legacy Teta has left. It appears he won’t be missed by many. Too bad he has no chance of correcting certain things he may have done wrong while living.

  126. tO THE BLOGGER SAYING VIVA DEATH, I PITY YOU. TETA OR ANY OTHER FOOL’S DEATH SHOULD NOT MAKE YOU INVITE DEATH. TAKE THAT STUPID DECLARATION BACK BECAUSE THE POWER OF DEATH (AND LlFE), OVER YOU AND YOURS LIES IN YOUR RECKLESS TONGUE.

  127. HIV/AIDS is finishing our people. This guy was quite a good noise maker especially when he was in the opposition. He talked alot of nonsense when he joined MMD,may because of HIV/AIDS psychosis

  128. We need to think more about a system that allows those in power to have no regard for the wider public. That to me is the worry, how does one person get to have the kind of power that is unchecked within the politics of the country or party? The top is the main problem, if you are not able to castigate the child as long as it is for you , then you are wrong? it is our politics and our people who have given up, that is our problem. I was talking to an Igbo recently, he said something that Zambians needs to reflect on. He said among the Igbos they are taught to respect people but not to bow to anybody. We bow to people we pay, there is a lot of education required among our people. He made his mistakes but we need to forgive. Rest in peace, I knew you from school and you were different.

  129. Death comes to all. But great achievements build a monument.Seeing death as the end of life is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean.Death hangs over thee, While thou still live, while thou may, do good. When the body sinks into death, the essence of man is revealed. Man is a knot, a web, a mesh into which relationships are tied. Only those relationships matter. The body is an old crock that nobody will miss. I have never known a man to think of hims.HOPE HE DIED AS A CHILD OF GOD.

  130. Most bloggers here are hypocrites, when Teta was alive you were all insulting him, todays he dies u pretend to have liked him? why didnt u like him when he was alive? Learn to call a spade a spade. Teta was just a pain in the ass to most zambian people in his political career, who colud open his mouth whenever it was not neccessary for him to do that. Katusheni muchibote.

  131. Its not long ago when Teta was silencing everybody who spoke against Banda and MMD. He also played his gamr in hearses issue.Many of us who comment on LT didnt see Teta. We read and heard about him{being a minister]. His death should bring thoughts to everybody active in Zed issues on LT. Is life a game where we play and then game over all of a sudden like what has happened to Teta? The ministerial post,house,car,pay,maids,talk time etc have remained and somebody ielse is taking over. Are you ready to face this momment in life or at the end of life? Whats your fate? JESUS IS THE ANSWER. THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM WILL NEVER DIE(JOHN 11). selah!

  132. Oweee…………………….. chabipa ba Teta.. tangileniko Yama……. YSRIP… You did entertain L.T for a while…..

  133. # 181 Hey Nine Chale…..Good to see around the blog.I have not seen you 4 some time.Anyway Thandiwe is to Zambulance
    and Teta is to Manda manda, this honorable has really lived by example.I am waiting for Thandiwe to show us how the Zambulance works.

  134. For the first time I am appalled by what I read here. I am so surprised that Zambians can be so disrespectful in death. Just, what crimes did Teta commit? Did he steal? If you guys here have preferred people and want to form the next Govt., then I am sorry going by your utterances here you are the last people we should have to run our affairs. By the way, if removing Teta was one of your strategies then I believe that you want a worse person to take over from him so that you can justify your agenda – else if it turns out that his replacement is a total opposite then you are at a loss. I feel sad for the people you support.

  135. Trion,
    The Marvellous One’s analysis of the events that culminated in the demise of your uncle Satamashimba sounds very logical and backed by medical reasoning. You did not need to show yellow by delving into “google fimo fimo” because this is the same wicked behaviour that characterised Satamashimba’s life whose end has weirdly stirred up such joy in all whose lives he touched. Your definition of Legal Death is laughable and if stated before any court of law would be found vexatious and insulting to any soul that has seen the inside of a school, even in China. I bet you googled this from China google where an act of the Communist Party equals force majeure. I would rather you concentrate on that first degree and keep clear of such complicated matters, they’ll confuse you!

  136. Teta
    Condolences to the family and the MMD fanatics at large .The outspoken leader will be missed for his misplaced statements and his negative contributions to the political and economic development of Zambia.

  137. #2 SC. We know we shall all die, but TETA was a very evil person. Look at he undressed his former boss Silvia, Katele, Mpombo. Dont tell lies at his burial. The man was bad.

  138. The problem with most Zambians is that they often tend to strive to be the Jack of Every Trade. I am absolutely sure you have no clue about “Forensic Medicine” or “Legal Medicine”, or put it simply, medicine as a profession but you just cannot resist the feel good factor derived from coming to this site armed with bombastic terms for which you have no clue at all. Your reasoning is glarringly devoid of any logic or intellect, my bet is you are an undergraduate in China there because of your father who is a politician and friend of Teta so this to you in personal. For all political jackals, hyenas and mercenaries, rant on. It’s your day, even skanks of the worst ordour do have their days.

  139. I AM SCARED PIPO WILL CELEBRATE WHEN I DIE . WHY DO ZAMBIANS HATE GOOD POLITICIANS LIKE ME. i WILL BE AT HIS FUNERAL SO THAT YOU KNOW I REALLY LOVED TETA . THE LION OF SOLWEZI

  140. THIS AIDS /HIV KAYA MWE ….. IT IS GETTING ALL THE CREAM …..PLEASE SPARE VJ, VPTHE LIST GOES ON ….TETA, MAZOKA,LUCY SICHONE, KEBBY, ETC NEXT IS SATA, THEN MMEMBE

  141. #229 Shakazulu & The Marvellous whatever, you are just one and the same person so be real and stop giving yourself fake support.There’s no such a thing called “medical reasoning” but there’s what we call CLINICAL THOUGHT.Meantime you can post ‘more support’ under some more nicknames to console yourself.The matters are indeed complicated to you but not to me.Anyone who would come on a public forum like this one and start “a slide show” of a patient’s medical history has no idea what the noble profession stands for.We have professional ethics and I know my collegues at Morningside Clinic in SA would never abrogate our ethics by releasing such information to you regardless of who Teta was.

  142. Those of you that want to praise him because he is dead are hypocritics. this man had a running mouth. he stepped on peoples toes and could not apologise good that the Lord has taken him at the right time. Yes we are all going to die and this doesnt mean we the living should not talk about the dead. Kalos2020. you are such a straight person and the rest that have said it as it should be said about the late prick.

  143. Great for Zambia bad for family,patience really pays.I was getting really nervous that the man would pull through especially after Shikapwasha’s rant on Friday.HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORAY…………………………!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  144. I myself knew that the man had wasted away ,the only problem i now have to decide on is his burial place ,my girlfriend dola says we can put him neat to Mwanawasa ,i dont think i have a choice do i

  145. Reverand Shikapwasha transgressed the 9th commandment of the Bible(Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbour) when he testified to an incorrect condition of Teta. He gave us false hope on Friday when he said that Teta was recovering well. Barely 24 hours, Teta passed on. Was there anything wrong for him to portray the correct picture that the patient’s condition was still critical?

  146. I HAVE JUST RECIEVED AN SMS FROM THE SUPERVISOR AT THE GATES OF HELL THAT TETA HAS PUT UP A STRONG FIGHT AT THE GATES OF HELL RESISTING ENTRY. HE IS CALLING GASTONE SICHILIMA TO HELP BUT HIS FRIEND HAS GONE HIDING.

  147. HON. Shikapwasha told the nation that Teta’s condition was stable the next day Teta passed on. He described Levy’s condition as improving when he was in coma and we lost him. Too much lies HON. Learn to speak the truth. Mind you are a Rev. unless you want us to describe you a fake Rev.These are our servants we need to know the truth about their health status not lies.

  148. Two more to go before 2011!
    We have suffered enuf, death doesn’t choose, it takes all, the arrogant, bad hearted, devils, name them. I believe the will of Zambians will be done soon. God is hearing our prayers.

  149. It is sad for the family and those who loved him. The man was a seasoned political surviver. With no direct reference to the late Honourable-Death indeed has redeemed many nations from tyrany-Remember the Sani Abacha’s of this world.

  150. Well there is time to be born and time to die! Therefore everything has its on time and Teta has just answered the nature’s call. May his soul rest in peace even though he did not live in peace with many!

  151. 255.

  152. The Bible says, “Suffer not a witch to live” this man was like a witch to the people of Zambia,surely the death of an evil man brings joy to many.Zambia shall be free!

  153. Finally that rabbied dog Teta is no more. Best news ever. Kwashala Nyamasoya, Mulogoti, VJ and Namugala. Long live human cropping!

  154. at least the man will have a feel of using the not for profit making hearse’s they bought in his government. have a good ride to your next desitination

  155. Where are hearses, lets see if they work properly. What a rare opportunity to try them on the man who commissioned them? MHSRIEP

  156. Gone too soon indeed! MHSRIP! He should have lived to see RB go stand as MMD slole candidate, an dwin the 2011, as he propagated! That live Mulongoti to carry on the battle of sole candidate! I hope he wont be deemed to have died because he supported the buying of Katenga malilos which may be an Omen on the zambian scene!

    #95 Leave old VJ alone! Waht proof do you have that he has got aids? Are you tested yourself? Take note that People living with HIV are just as human as you are! You are being stigmatica and retrogressive! I was going to say you are full of sheet!

  157. BA LESA MWATUPELE TETA KABILI MWAMUGETA! MWALITUPELA ABENA BWEZANI, KA MULONGOTI, CHI MWANGA, KACHILUBA, CHI SHIKAPWASHA NABONSE AMA BOOTLICKERS BONSE! TWAPAPATA BASENDENI IFI FINE MWASENDA TETA. KABILI BALI ILETELA AMA HEARSES. AMEN!

  158. I never liked Teta but in his demise i sympathize and empathize for the bereaved family especially the wife and children.But his boss is off to Congo???…let Tetas demise be a lesson for us all….some jobs are not worthy taking up let alone dying for….someone else will be busy licking the same boots TETA has stopped licking….

  159. teta is gone and so shall all whose who ve betrayed the Mwanawasa legacy.let MMD masquaeraders repent now for their destiny is nearing. MHSRIP

  160. Number 157 remove that logo. you are putting the Adventist Youth Society to shame by uttering your personal political opinions using our institutional emblem. If you remember the rules, you have committed a very big offense and deserve swift punishment. If I manage to locate you I will submit your name and details to the nearest Union or Division office in your area. Take this warning seriously.

  161. Condolences to the family of teta.Too bad for the kids who honestly liked the guy (it was not their choice fathered by such a person), condolences to the wife (only if it was a forced marriage coz i wonder how she could say ‘i do’ to such a person!).Its only up to God to determine whether he’s hell or heaven bound but wats open for us to see is his dispeakable character.He brot a lot of rot to Zed politics &such pipo are better out of the picture.I wonder how he chose to be the rogue in the nation.Its difficult ot imagine such pipo are making decisions on my behalf.May God deliver our nation from such characters.

  162. The way most Zambians are feeling at the death of Hon. Teta MHSRIP, is exactly the same way Kafupi and his camp felt when Muwelewele kicked the bucket. what goes round comes round! Lesa nimalyotola

  163. The way most Zambians are feeling at the death of Hon. Teta MHSRIP, is exactly the same way Kafupi and his camp felt when Muwelewele kicked the bucket. Lesa nimalyotola!

  164. The most sincere of all men. His sincerity was childlike and impulsive. Honest and non manipulative people had no cause to fear this man. To me he exemplified political innocence. Only his innocent words were stolen,sugarcoated and reexplained to suit thoughts of real political snakes. Perhaps humbly educated, patriotic nonetheless. A non calculating man that only loved to hear his own voice. Like all of us here.
    Goodbye cousin!
    MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PIECE

  165. Teta served his purpose on earth, he ran his race.Now its up to us who still have breath to accept Jesus as personal Lord & Saviour. One thing i like about Teta is that his last decision, apparently is the best for mother Zambia.Since u cant teach an old dog new tricks, death seems to be the only cleansing factor in our polical world.Who’s next indeed?Dora,FTJ,ka Mike,another 30days morning?!!So many bad elements even in the opposition.Zambians are becoming enlightened and must not be taken for granted.

  166. Why do so many people die so young. Teta was only 53.

    Hopefully we are learning to look after ourselves. Peope should live long enough to see their children’s children.

  167. have you head that teta is still fighting at the gate of hell is now calling for help from kanitundila so that he may send dogs from the animal farm to go and rescue him

  169. Two years after papaz death,i googled my fathers name and quite interesting comments there. My father was a politician and like all of us he was not perfect.In our culture death is something we respect and something that you cannot wish even on your waste enemy. To all those that commented positively and passed on the condolesnces thanku very much and to u that called my father all sorts of names thankyou and may God bless you.But remember DEATH wish us all. AND FOR YOU WHO SAID U FEEL SORRY FOR HIS CHILDREN COZ WE DIDT CHOOSE TO HAVE A DAD LIKE TETA,GUESS WHAT? KEEP YOUR SORRY FOR U COZ WHEN GOD CHOSE A FATHER FOR ME,HE GAVE ME THE BEST AND I WILL ALWAYS BE PROUND OF HIM AND IF I HAD TO BE GIVEN CHANCE TO CHOOSE AGAIN,I WOULD CHOSE HIM A HUNDRED TIMES.

  170. And all the negativity because of what POLITICS? This is disgusting and for the first time am ashamed to say am a zambian. you had no right to say all this in his death u had hands and mouths to tell him when he was alive.
