President Banda says he is very saddened with the emerging culture of hatred and misinformation in the country where politicians make unsubstantiated statements on things they know to be totally false.
This is contained in a press release made available to ZANIS in Lusaka today by President Banda’s Special Assistant to the President for Press and Public Relations Dickson Jere.
The President appealed to politicians, especially his opponents, to refrain from dragging his children in mudslinging and smear campaigns which he said they had launched for some time now.
President Banda advised politicians to let his children to lead a quiet life, especially those involved in business, adding that they were running their companies successfully even before he was recalled from retirement to become Vice President in 2006.
He reminded Mr. Kavindele to be sincere with his attacks particularly that it was he when he served as Vice President, who pleaded with the nation not to judge him based on his son, Enock Kavindele Junior’s involvement in the TST oil procurement problems.
The President said Mr. Kavindele rightly argued that his son was old enough to carry out any business transaction without his father’s help and wondered what the difference was with his children.
President Banda disclosed that Mr. Kavindele had approached him over his business problems with the North-Western Railway Company but could not help him instantly without consulting widely.

# 1 you are right kaliisulamo
Now i can see the emerging of sons of politicians on the zambian political seen like patrick mwanawasa,nenani banda and probably kantwa sata or katwa hichilema.Anyway good lucky to them i wonder where tilyengi kaunda is
Lets face it.I remember very well how Kavindele Junuor was actively pushing for oil deals with the help of his father.The Post even published a letter signed by Kavindele to TST.On this on Kavindele did do his research is it that he forgets so easily?
Haahah ….you thieves, come on guys. Let all Zambians have a share of the national cake. Not only your chldren.
I mean did not do his research well b4 launching the scathing attack.

Dynasties in Zambia dont work.Tilyenji and Panji can shade more light.Panji was an excption,but for these a see a tough road ahead.In India,it works well but in my Zed………
President Rupiah Banda is absolutely right. Leave his children alone and out of politics and let them lead their own private lives.
This hate campaign must stop. What has his children done to you. Leave them alone.
#1 AND #2 you are effing serious!why should you comment on his children?the problem with Zambians is your a bunch of jealous people,what have his children done to you,first we allowed this situation then we should complain about it,DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!they look good enjoying the labours of their father,it’s their duty to attend public events and represent the youth when a opportunity presents itself, have productive debates no wonder we are still backwards…
Lelo Ba kavindele, mwaona manje mwayamba kuzi ulula, yaba, see now, kanshi muguys wanted a deal and it didnt work out. Nchekelako yapa Zed. Kavindish has a short memory yaba, on this one am gonna support Bwezani becoz, it is true, let politicians children lead their own lives, of course, unless kavindish can bring some proof to his accusations. Otherwise old man we agree with you.
Even MC Wabwino has released a song called P.H.D (pull him/her down), if you are in Zambia, you should listen to it on the radio and if you are in the diaspora, search for it on youtube, it explains why #1 and #2 with their jealousy can say what they have said.

We can’t leave them alone as long as they are meddling with our assets.
sa ba capitalist pali nika mwamonapo na jealousy ka ?
Politicians puppets dramatize party warfare distraction, in grand performances of bureaucratic rivalry meant to propagandize and polarize the audience. Diversionary tactics are commonly used in psychological warfare as an offensive strategy, coordinated on all levels and fronts as a massive effort, to divert attention away from clandestine agendas. Drawing attention to struggles between political systems, ideologies, and classes obscures the historical struggle for power and wealth. This creates confusion and stirs up contention among the ranks of the disadvantaged majority, enabling the elite to preserve stolen wealth and power.
but guys elo twatekwa nomba maaa!! hw do u involve ur “puppies” in country affairs n expect us to keep quiet. kavi is right, their businesses may be successfull but the fact still remains, “they r small” country “commercial” 4 them too big to handle. instead of u concerntrating on real issues at stake,”fuel crisis” u lookin 4 Zamtel buyers. Selling Zamnet or Zesco will not save zambian lives, solving “fuel crisis” will. tamwakwata ama advisers aba duwa economics? i wont say much but we r watching closely!

If you are not jealous, then why would you make such an ignorant comment that is more of a red herring than a positive coherent contribution. Just admit it, your jealousy is eating you up right now.
#22 ukachulapofye we chipuba isuka umutwe shi
ZDA is in charge of finding the ZAMTEL buyer and the ERB is in charge of solving the fuel crisis. You cannot seriously suggest that ZDA solves the fuel crisis when we have the ERB in charge of doing this. It is about priorities and specialization of certain govt bodies.
What you are suggesting is something similar to the Ministry of Mines doing the job of the Ministry of health. If such a thing had to be so, there would be chaos. Get serious.

How is supporting a comment that is intentionally insulting innocent. You are the one who needs to understand your own comments. You supported a comment that was completely off topic and was intentionally supposed to be insulting. That is not an advanced level analysis of the story at hand.
“Am too advanced both intellectually and academically for me to give a S.h.it about the banda clan”
Well speaking from authority does not mean I am wrong in pointing out your poor judgment at supporting a comment which is completely off topic and is meant to be insulting.

I have gone now. I pray that you seek God for only he can save you from your hatred.
President BANDA you are an *****. You yourself have brought your sons in politics and now you want people to keep quite over their deals with the government. RB You are foolish, since you came into office we have always heard of your children getting involved on every government business. RB your Sons were involved in the GMO saga. your Sons were involved in the RP capital and ZAMTEL saga. Your Sons are now heard in the Petroleum deals saga. RB Zambia is not your farm in Chipata that when you involve your Sons people will remain mute. If you want people not to talk about your sons, take them with you to your farm. Iwe chi Banda iwe chipuba chamunthu don’t think you are going to take Zambian on your dinning table and start feasting on its economy while people watch hopeless. Kawalala iwe
Mr. Capitalist no need to pray to God coz i have no hatred for anyone pray to solomon maybe coz he was very wise am sure he is still providing very wise advice in heaven to know that you are wrong.Ok brother dont take it personal but ala umukashana taikele bwino.Am out out enjoy the evening
Dear RB,
first of all, your daughter in law is wide -open. nothing wrong with it any way!
Now your children are adults except for your grandchildren with Thandiwe. as long as they continue participating in the comedy of errors, they will be hammered right where it hurts!
Why should they be left out of politics when he’s using them and their friends to get the best government and international contracts? Some are even buying girlfriends homes in Europe. One day all of you shall answer questions. Real good questions too. It’s just time mister , just time.
This son of RB in pictures looks order than his stepmother Thandiwe Banda.Now my question does he consider Thandiwe as his mother or just a girlfriend to his father?
Personally,I sympathize with the embattled Enock Kavindele now entrapping himself even more. He talks about none military purchases he cannot prove. What has the military bought and from which country that Generals and the secretary of defense has no clue about? Do you see how desperate people finish themselves up? Generals, the Defense Council and the Defense secretariat with ministry PS are asking what this desperate man is yapping about.
Some of us that know Kavindele better are not amused. Since his brother in-law Jonas Savimbi was riddled with 29 bullets until declared dead in Moxico province in southeast Angola on Friday at around 3 p.m (1400 GMT) Kavindele has never recovered from the trauma. Yes it was a worst ever recorded mutilation by Angola’s FAA commandos but in best national and regional interest.
The blood Diamonds are no longer giving kavindele the dividends that he thrived on for many years. Pedro “Tito” Chingunji and the likes of then UNITA foreign affairs spokesman Alcides Sakala are no more to use him as a conduit. MPLA has taken over from border to border with all UNITA rebels integrated in the FAA ranks and file. Thus Kavindele is under extreme economic challenges and open confusion. All his properties are facing “caveat” and heavy debts. His debt to income ratio gives no hope for his better days. I will not be shocked to learn that he has shot himself dead.
Mwanawasa fired him over the Trans Sahara oil importation scam which was his only hope of recovery. His push for the MMD VP slot to abuse the position in deals was ignored until LPM death and it will not come forth somewhat may. I don’t just see MMD giving him any role. There are no deals for him and in Kabompo he is a rejected political vagabond. Young Kalenga swept him like a no body in politics.
Now in vanity he has been belaboring to stir the Luvale hegemony but in vain. MMD is very strong in the province such that it enjoys a full representation in parliament except for one small district of Zambezi where UPND has Kakoma as MP. Recently, he has been overhead saying over the rail line, he is going to press for war against Zambians.
Well, the embattled opportunist has forgotten that José Eduardo dos Santos and his FAA Generals have long wanted to see his moves after Savimbi’s execution. He will be ducked live with much easy than were Admson Mushala and brother Simbwende done out by patriotic Zambian outfits.
(1)-Rajan Mahtan wants his US $ 79,000,000 debt repaid by kavindele,
(2)-Standard Chartered want their US $375,000 repaid.
(3)-Vodacome want results while debtors for the Rail projects are waiting for their money over US $ 30 million expended already.
(4)-SEABOARD Commodity Trading Limited has sued Enoch Kavindele’s company, Mukulumpe Estates Limited, for a US$83,938 (over K386 million) debt.
(5)-Debt trapped KD Davies is just a shell of a company facing many litigations in the courts just like Woodgate holdings.
Fact is that Savimbi is no more for him hence all the confusion.
In short, Kavindele is suffering from a poor taste of sour grapes. He was fired three months before this motion as Republican Vice-President by Mwanawasa.I don’t see his political…
All this only shows failed judgment of opportunistic Kavindele.Since the death of his brother in-law Angola’s Jonas Savimbi, Kavindele has had his hallucinations degenerate from worse to dangerous.Let his tabloid friends ask him too produce evidence on what the military bought and from which country.Isn’t it insanity that his desperation can be this far a suck of alarming lies before the entire National Defense establishment and Security Council?

I think RB should really protect his children from keeping them away from government assets. His arrogance will land him in prison sharing a cell with his sons. For as long as they meddle with government assets, they will be scrutinised.
Veteran, your accusations and character of assassination of those who do not favour your cadrelism of bootlicking of RB and minions. It is said who serve the master even when the master is wrong will remain a servant of his own fear because he has cursed himself for failing to tell the truth. Today Veteran you are supporting RB and minions corrupt acts on the expense of the oppressed, voiceless and the poor of the poorest of our own whose cries are so loud not to ignore but to listen to. They want medcare or basic needs as you thiefs in govt are enjoying and accessing on their expenses. Vet is your life depend on these political appointments where you fear the sack will mean your end? Eat to day but tomorrow you will be accountable for your actions of abusing the trust of the citizens.
# 43,
From my entry, make an excerpt of a line you have grounds that I’m accusing or character assassinating your Kavindele and counter it right here. Your current blind cadreism defending the indefensible is no different from your behavior when Mwanawasa resigned over Sata’s plunder of the council funds in Mezf and medical stores expropriations. Your behavior has never been different on Hichilema’s criminal conduct in Luanshya’s Binani mines and the Sun Hotel privatization. To you, that is classical leadership. You are a very disingenuous kid with a disgraceful errand to sale to the country harmful characters for public office. It’s like you don’t realize how much you are defying logic and national interest. Put your sycophancy and job search aside for the good of this country.
Well # 1 and #2 comments uncalled for however, this is very interesting listen to Bwezani tell you that he was reclled from retirement.. bane do oyu like the sound of that? Kwena this leadership and the last leadership sound dimented to me. Who in their right minds gets a retired man back to work and let alone become a head of state? Only pa Zed.. now can anyone tell me his state of mind from retired mode to running a country? This is a big joke. Talk about a country on auto pilot. Mwe bena Zambia its about time we took the affairs of our nation seriously than just let people who are from running a farm to come and manage a country. Cry beloved Zambia….I hope that we get realisitc and select leaders who are ready to compete and have amitions with plans..
can someone please shoot down RB and his kids for ruining our country? Guys in this day and age must we continue to accept political retards to rule our country?
As long as you are President and you children partake in public affairs we shall continue talking. KKs children were never spared so what is the difference. Resign
well I could have expected past plunderors like Kavindele not to remind us of the past, this is a typical case of before you remove the spec in your friends eye, remove the log in your own eye. Kavindele was quick to point a finger, and yet four others were pointing at him. Am yet to hear how he will try to convince us otherwise, cause for now it looks as if all this noise was as result of deal gone bad. What shame on these old politicians, its about time that the cycle of politicians in Zambia is changed. Young blood, new visions, and no plunder and ties to UNIP, Chiluba error, because they is nothing new you bring to the scene. Just disgruntled old men!
Veteran, before you accuse Sata on Medical stores, As a journalist at ZNBC at that particular time, you have to ask yourself a simple question who claimed to buy almost expired Paracetamols from Italy when it was actually a donation. How was taking drugs from medical stores to his private hospital in Ibex hill? The two Doctors the minister and MD were involved in purchasing drugs without following the procedure as well as signing contracts in Tokyo instead of Italy because they want to buy medical equipment and vehicles. You know the answeers very well as a journalist at ZNBC and the reason Chiluba demoted the minister and MD. Personally, I have got hard evidence over this and if you think it s not true Kindly ask me my e-mail and I can provide you with hard evidence. Sata cleaned up
The third line how should be who. sorry
that woman shud just close her legs
And his children should leave Govt contracts alone!
RB MIGHT BE NYAMASOYA BUT HE HAS BRILLIANT SONS . . . . . . NOT THE LIKES OF FTJ’S CHILDREN’S JUST DRUGS, BOOZE AND WOMEN! LEAVE NENANI, HENRY AND OTHERS
As long as President Banda`s children are being favored for governmnet contracts, we will continue making noise. It seems our president is so petty, he is fixing Kavindele over the North-Western railway line and yet the railway line will benefit the country. Banda says he is consulting widely over the issue, what a lie. Why is he not consulting widely over Zamtel? Shallow reasoning.
If the president’s sons or indeed relatives get favors and preferences in being awarded government contracts and if they don’t follow procedures, then people have every right to talk. But on the other hand if they do follow the normal procedures and get business on merit, fine they are Zambians and are free to trade just like anyone else.
Nothinh wrong with RB son enganging in business, even GRZ business, First of all they must declare their interest…’Hi guys my Dad is your Presido” then the tendering process can decide. What could be wrong is for them to be involved in virtually all GRZ contracts… So if you have a project, RB Sons must be your Marketing ‘gurus’!!!
I’m trying to understand the argument Mr captalist has with prophetess and mo taim.the first thing I noticed in the picture was that the young lady sat in such a way that one may think her underwear was exposed(its debatable) I’ve no clue why Mr captalist was offended anyway…..I’m still trying to open the post website,why has it become sooo slow.It that the result of trying to duplicate LT?
Jealous is witchcraft.RB has invested in his children wisely because he treasures education. He has educated all his children from prestigious US schools when others failed to use earnings from their Diplomatic services wisely but flaunting for nothing.The same is true to most kids on blogs, they have dropped out of school for low wage jobs and blogging insults thinking there is a future in illiteracy.RB’s children like KK’s have brains and all hold Graduate school MBAs and MS degrees.Blog and introspect, what do have? Jealous will not rewrite records.If you have facts instead of innuendos on all these take them to court.
most of the you chaps saying she should close her legs are actually quite happy to look at them. be honest with yourselves….its just something to put on a smile on your face ..compliments of the Banda family
# 54, How has RB contributed to the failure of Kavindele’s rail business dream? Tell us here if you have any clue if he has managed to secure the required funds? Kavindele has failed despite sourcing bits and pieces from some apartheid ring wing south Africans and some few Angel investors in the US, he is still 65% less the budget.He wants GRZ treasury to give him the 65%.That BS of ages.Are sure you are of the idea that tax papers money at over US $ 120 million should be committed to Kavindele? I presume you have some basic loan origination or underwriting ideas.Tell us Kavindele’s debt-to- income ratio before we look at his debt management history.Under what circumstances should the administration give Kavindele millions of US dollars?
Awe bwafya, # 34 Ben Kangwa (Veteran), do you have a mirror in your apartment in Washington? Please use it. Look in that mirror and call the image you will see there ichipuba. Where in he world have you seem Arms deals discussed openly? Do you expect that in the budget? What is wrong with getting old and working as a shushushu? Amano yalapwa? Instead of worrying about Kavindele, try worrying about yourself as Sata and HH will not need your services. I cannot believe a real human being with normal functioning organs can support the corruption that is in Zambia right now. That in itself tells us who you are how your brain has failed to function. Probably you are one of those who supported the expelling of monkeys from State House trees. Are you a normal being?
(1)-Rajan Mahtan wants his US $ 79,000,000 debt repaid by kavindele,

All unpatriotic disillusioned cadres seeing saint hood in criminals like Sata, Kavindele and HH.Its a legion of criminals with indelible and indefensible records unless one is retarded outlaw. Here is the works of Kavindele in office:
Zambia. 1,000 oil tankers go missing in fuel controversy – One thousand oil tankers with US $13.5 million worth of fuel destined for Zambia’s oil refinery from neighbouring countries never reached their destination between 1999 and 2000, said an auditor general’s report tabled in parliament earlier this week. The report also noted that an examination of the supplier’s records showed that more than double the amount of oil approved by the Zambia National Tender Board was sold to procurer the Zambian National Oil Company (ZNOC). There was also a…
There was also a discrepancy in official records between the amount of oil loaded by the supplier and the amount actually received in Zambia, news reports said. ZNOC, the national oil purchaser, was put into receivership in 2001 with vast debts. Zambia’s oil procurement procedures have become part of a wider anti-corruption probe by President Levy Mwanawasa.
How much do diplomats make to educate their kids in the US? The embassy is surviving by borrowing money from a bank and whenever the funds show up it goes to pay the bank. You pea brains at the embassy takes you 3 years to send passport forms within the US, what are you talking about? Why don’t you tell the bloggers the truth? RB did not make to educate his kids to steal. Are you saying only his kids are the only educated Zambians? What numbskull you must be. Tell the people where these RB were all these years until their father became President. They be firing squad at independence stadium for the first time when he leaves office. People must learn to respect rules, and only that time will things change.
Donald Chanda, former president Frederick Chiluba’s economic advisor, who is currently being questioned by parliament’s public accounts committee on the contents of the report, was previous board chairman of ZNOC, the Indeni oil refinery and transporter Tanzania Zambia Mafuta. The auditor general linked Chanda to the irregular supply of oil. In April this year, Zambia faced serious fuel shortages as a result of procurement problems.
The crisis was attributed to Mwanawasa’s decision to cancel a fuel supply contract with Trans Sahara Trading (TST), a subsidiary of the Canadian mining firm, Diamondworks. Mwanawasa cited unnamed irregularities when he ended the deal with TST as the sole supplier of fuel to Zambia in March. The then vice-president, Enoch Kavindele, awarded the supply contract to TST in August last year, cutting out TotalFinaElf, the main company supplying crude in the region.
KAVINDELE AND MANY OTHERS WHO SERVED UNDER CHILUBA HAVE ALOT TO ANSWER TO.AS SUCH THEY CANT CONDEMN CURRENT LEADERS WITHOUT EXPOSING THEMSELVES AND THAT INCLUDES SATA. WITH OR WITHOUT TASK FORCE WE SHALL BRING THEM TO TASK.IT IS SUPRISING HOW CURRENT LEADERS, LIKE BANDA, ARE CAPABLE OF GETTING THEMSELVES INTO TROUBLE WITHOUT ANY PROMPTING.THEY TOO SHALL ANSWER FOR THEIR SINS. HERE ON EARTH IN ZAMBIA.IMMUNITY OR NO IMMUNITY.OF COURSE AFTER PROPER INVESTIGATIONS INTO BUSSINESS IMPROPRIATY
Kavindele’s son, Junior, has reportedly been linked to TST, but Kavindele denied any personal connection to the firm. The controversy led to Kavindele’s sacking last week for ignoring Mwanawasa’s decree terminating TST’s supply contract. He also allegedly failed to follow accounting procedures when he received a US $100,000 donation from TST for the ruling Movement for Multiparty Democracy. (IRIN, Kenya, 5 June 2003)
Kangwa, why don’t you tell people about the oil being purchased in Mombasa? What pipeline is in Mombasa to deliver oil. Your privilege to information as a shushushu at the embassy is reason is to understand your rants. In fact you are doing a disservice to the nation by trying to stifle democracy. Thank God nobody listens to your rants anymore as having you back at ZNBC would mean turning the place a campaign HQ for MMD. Unfortunately you are here were the same kids you insult are able to respond and most of them better informed and educated than your impotent behind.
#65,
Do you see our struggles in your brain exposed? Do you see how lack of education and minimum wage has ruined you?Your ignorance is protruding over your head.You think a Zambian diplomat in DC or at the UN gets the US $1300 per month you die for instead of earning education and start your own business in the USA or at home with a guarantee of big turnovers.
#27…………Be serious what do you mean by saying intentionally insulting….the author of the comment did not intend to insult the lady has insulted herself by sitting like that. She was at a public event with cameras all over and should have been more mindful on how to seat at such. Instead she exposes herself to shame odium and ridicule…………..To ask her to close her legs has nothing to do with malice but is rather being courteous
Ignorance is a relative term. Even those that are ignorant like you will point at other people as being ignorant. Your embassy has no money. Why do you think you have no money to hire people to sort out the messy at that place called embassy while in fact it qualifies to be a toilet. Why do you think your hero VJ started dealing drugs? Are you doing the same in the guise of being a diplomat? Man, education levels cannot be discussed with you. Your Hone diploma is an AA Degree here. So, you are not any better than those that you insult on this blog. Tell us what education do you have above spinning records at ZNBC? Ba Ben Kangwa ala mulichipuba. The word protruding (Senior Citizen) used every time he was challenged is back. So, nomba waishiba ati we are smart.
Yes Kavindele should not be blaming RBs sons even his son Junior was involved in alot of deals with his full knowledge. As for RBs sons yes their father is now President but from what I know the guys have been doing business for sometime now. The guys are just fighers and have business accumen. May be this time I should say now that their father is head of state they are doing more business than they can handle. The other thing pipo are forgetting is that RB had heavily invested in the education of his children and what I know all them have attained above first degrees. This is the trend in Africa, go to Libya Caddafis son has more business and political influence. Gabon a son took over. Togo the same thing happened. Botswana Gen Ian Khama is now President & Military revolves around him
Ben Kangwa (Veteran, Senior Citizen) working at the Zambian embassy is the worst one can ever do. Your embassy is the poorest such that you fail to send visa and passport forms to people who request for them. Why do you think your Ambassador cannot visit out of DC? No money. Zambians have to buy her plane tickets to visit parts of USA when they want her to visit such places. In terms of ethics, you are the only embassy who personally accept gifts to people trying to do business with Zambia. What does tell about you and your poorest embassy in DC?
Lets face it, if your father was in RBs position, most of you bloggers would take advantage and involve yourselves in business deals! If the business deals are shaddy or not, is another thing. So before you castigate others, think carefully. If a businness deal is legit, then stop allthis fuss, but if you have proof that these are dirty deals, then you know what to do. As for Henry’s wife…..Goddamn!!!!
Observer, yes the all entire African leaders do that. But is it right? What does corruption mean? What does nepotism and unfair play mean? Does it mean because Gaddafi is doing it, we must do it too? Mobutu did the same. How is Congo today? Corruption is corruption. I cannot believe you can give such an example. Wow, All the countries you have mentioned are number one corrupt nations. What is with that?
# captalist leave # 1 and 2 alone it is you who have exposed your foolishness by supporting a women whose sitting postitions is not only provocative but unafrican.African women are raised up to sit in a certain way in public and not like that
There is no evidence that everyone would that. Give empirical and learned or research data that everyone would that. Just because some few ignorant and greed sons of uneducated leaders, basically dictators, are doing it does not mean everyone will do the same.
Seems like some of you guys support the corruption that has shot thru the roof in the RB government. That really means something and does tell us why Zambia is failed state. Corruption is condoned even by those in developed nations. What a shame?
# 73, you may belabor to smear your fecal material on an innocent Civil servant, your insults on true patriotic Zambians like me and many others are like blank bullets because you have failed to identify all patriotic citizens here.To you whether one is based in California, Georgia,,North Carolina, Florida,Connecticut, or Michigan its BK from DC.Little do you knw that Diplomats don’t engage in politics.The next thing you will be smearing folks i see posting from the UK and SA as Mr. Ben Kangwa.Childish and cursed as you are, what has his misfortune of not having kids got to do with national politics or the blog? I have three gorgeous kids but will never laugh at any human being with the misfortune of not having kids except sadists like you.If you have brains take me on issues.
# 83, it is you who have to belabor. How come you cannot talk about the “protruding ignorance” that is the key word for Ben Kangwa (SC). Why do you think you picked Veteran which in essence is the same as Senior Citizen? Man, you are such a scam of the earth.
You have no kids you scam bag. You think you can sway my knowledge. You are BEN KANGWA and I have known you since the Hone days. So, you can waste your time fighting it, but reality will always sink in every time you look in your mirror, your wife, the oldest among the diplomatic core in DC.
#17. Yes, no its a kirky thong. Or is it a G-String
# 80,
I plead with you get back to school and improve yourself.Exploit opportunities in the US.Go finish your GED,enter some adult education in community college then an easy chikwakwa in universities.The more money in the pocket illusion you are holding to is is a myth that will never be realized.Sata will never ever rule this country.No country can risk with a government of kaponyas.Get some education and position yourself for consideration in our Generation administration after RB in 2016.To integrate there, you will have to be intellectually and morally unparalleled.
Diplomats don’t engage in politics. Who are you kidding. Are you talking about developed nations diplomats or African diplomats? More especially you who has been sent to the US to come and fight the growing opposition to your corrupt governments. You are an intelligence guy, who told you that you are a diplomat? Mutola Nkani is not a diplomat but a report. Shushushu.
People who know are laughing at you as you write this. Because never in your life will you get to my education level. Never will I torment poor young people just because I am eating corruption money from RB. Never will I forsake my family foe my benefit from RB while the entire Kangwa clan is starving like you are doing. I will stand on my principles, you will never have.
HERB’s children have evry right to participate in business, but should do so in a transperent manner. What’s raising suspicions is that of late, companies linked to these children are getting govrnment contracts outside tender procedures. In faxct these companies are bveing single sourced when the circumstances require an open and competitive tender process. it seems other genuine competitors are being denied chances of doing business. This is against the competion laws of any open economy and provides fertile ground for corruption to fester. Rules are put in place to aviod anarchy and lawlessness which are a precussors to red tape and graft.
So, since we have gotten your identity back in the headlock, are you looking for another name? What about the protruding word? Are you stopping it now? Mr educated Hone graduate?
Come on skype so that you may see the best blessings in children i have.Give me your Skype name so that you end embarrassing yourself before the LT honchos who know where am.I’m over 1000 miles from DC with a time difference.I authorize the honchos to confirm to you if indeed i’m closer to DC.You are just a poor and primitive elicitation cadre hence useless blanks.
Kalos 2020 # Please stop wasting your time with this VETERAN(BEN KANGWA) . You are managing your life not depending on government support. Zambia will never develop because of lazy chaps like veteran who depend on handouts. They will support their masters at all costs. Kavindele has a very good point,Rupiah Banda’s kids may be businessmen but not big enough to control/manage huge transactions. We have genuine Zambian businessmen who have created wealth but are sidelined by politicians. Thats why all the projects are failing. Ubupupu. And this Ben Kangwa is very old to sink this low.
Ifipuba tafifyala. You are more cursed than you will ever imagine. God knew about your support for corruption that he started punishing you when you were still spinning Tinkles and The Witch records. So, go and ask God for His forgiveness and promise the Lord that you will never support corruption, God will give a child you need. Abraham was almost your wife’s age and yours when he was given a child. All you need to do is pray and ask for forgiveness even from us on this site.
#91 Twachula, thank brother. In fact my grading of papers has suffered because of this imbecile.
Prepare for spring 2010 enrollment to finish your GED instead of finding comfort in washing restaurant dishes in the underground economy.Your incoherence manifest protruding ignorance and limited education.I look forward the day you will realize that no nation can risk its future with kaponyas.Imagine you, Sata,Willie Nsanda, Febby Nsanda, Kambwili,Samuel Mukupa, GBM, Mumbi Phiri, Jean Kapata being in-charge of State House, the National Security Council, Army, ZAF, Police, OOP (SD), DEC and the Commando unit. Think of it and see where Zambia would be.You would be stripping our mothers live in street.Get education because the future is in education.RB children you are envying are all holding MS and MBA from Washington DC public schools.One actually is a Graduate of George Washington Un.
why do people accuse Ben Kangwa of being Veteran or Senior citizen.Is it a proven fact or is it that Ben Kangwa is the only articulate Zambian in the US hence the conclusion?
yesterday i challenged this veteran to come up with with his own well thought and researched opinions,he comes on here bragging meanwhile all he does is copy and paste other peoples’ comments and opinions,this is one very sad old man who will continue supporting anything mmd with a blind eye to anything and everything bad about it.he managed to copy the whole story from another site and pasted it here just like he has done, and yet he will climb up on an anthill and proclaim to be a very learned and wise man,this is a total reincanation of Senior citizen.If he had an electric brain,he would be a walking blackout
Fellow bloggers emotional politics are very dangerous, they make you loose foresight of the bigger issue, remove yourself from personal interests you may have, and remember the key issue at hand! Lets control our emotions, and blog wisely, I plead with you vetran and Kalaso! I honestly appreciate divergent views, because in so doing you embrace the true meaning of democracy!
Dear Mr. President,
With all Due respect, you would do well to resign on Moral grounds because I think you will agree with me that you do not have a clue about what you are doing at state house and neither do you have a clue about what is going on in your country of residence because it seems you are always out of the country at every given opportunity. If it wasn’t for the independence celebration you could stayed in UGANDA or some other foreign country.
Veteran you keep rambling on with useless facts. Get a grip man! I am sure we are all impressed with your interest in the intricate details of Kavindele’s life, but dont lose your sense of proportion. Call it jealousy or whatever you choose, it is a fact that RB’s children are involved in a lot of dodgy business deals with the help of their father. If you do not know that, then you are simply not informed, or your circles do not permit you to come accross this information. The day of reckoning will come, that is the only consolation.
F.C.U.K —-A.L.L——B.L.O.G.G.E.R.S
bwalya,
It’s an issue of their intellectual challenges. I have just challenged this PF Kaponya here to engage me live on skype so that authentically we may know each other if indeed I’m BK. I don’t care being smeared all kinds of names as all Zambian names are given IDs. But disapprove the sub-level behavior of smearing a public servant with our political opinion. I’m responsible for my posts and not another citizen. What has BK’s misfortune of being fatherless got to do with LT? See failed logic of kaponyalism? Who would cherish in the brother’s misfortune? Because even Sata with his clogged heart, we all wish him God’s intervention. I have asked him to engage me on economics, politics, development and public policies be they fiscal, monetary, taxation or constitutional…
Goodmorning
No public figure is free from criticism, whether constructive or destructive and the president should know this – If he is not able to handle it, let him step aside. I perceive that for a politician to sling mud at another, there must be a good reason for him to do so – unless he has totally misplaced his arguements and thereby only exposing his ill conception.
#100 Red card – LT, why should you always wait for bloggers to express their apathy before deleting such insults? Mr. Webmaster, please do your job!
Smoothcriminal,
I sympathize with you because you wittingly read them yet they choke you big.I have never applied for you to follow them but by choice you do so.If we paste something, it is of interest to patriotic Zambian only.
Yaa ichichine chi veteran chatunasha mwe.
Kwen ba #100, nabatutuka!
Let’s refrain from these personal attacks and derogatory remarks so typical of Zambian politics. Rather engage ourselves in a more constructive and coherent discussion of the issue at hand. Moreover, a GED, or Degree doesn’t necessarily make you “wiser” and “argumentatively superior” to any college drop-out or the poor Jack, flipping burgers at Burger King, all in the name of raising a little buck to repatriate back to the homeland. We can all have a meaningful contribution to this topic, and indeed to our great nation.
Well he has a point. His children especially James are seasoned business men. However it is likely that of since their father became president, their fortunes have changed for the better. And since they are the Presidents son, they deserve to be under scrutiny. But on the other hand, lets have substantiated allegations, not just this crazy PHD stuff that Kavindele is exhibiting
#44 bozalako…. . If you are educated enough in economics, Taxation and Constitutional….(presumed Law) as you claim in posting at # 101, then don’t mislead those who don’t know about Receivership. Just asking you to desist from misleading bloggers who do not understand Receivership and what transpired at Ramcoz and GT where HH was the Managing Partner. Thankyou.
Zambia is one country that ranks high on the scale of Jealous. Leave the bandas alone its their chance to enjoy as well. Leave Maureen Mwanawasa alone to enjoy the money the husband left. Jealous will rot your bones.
Dont hate the players ,hate the game.
# 1 you are crazy…dont talk about my daughter in law
Uyu Chicolor VETRAN is a cadre who has brains in hi mouth- as long as he is fed he doesnt see what the finger that are
Iam proud of my sons James, Nenai, Henry, chite, na chite na uja some are even younger than my Grand sons? Yaba Compare to Sata’s childrens are all Kaponyas (about 100 ) 99 are bustards and HH has no children.. siuka
Its only in Zambia……………. where when your father becomes president suddently you become a great business man…………HAVING HUGE NATIONAL CONTRACTS………..lol
Veteran please shut your mouth; things are very bad in Zambia because of people like you.
Things are pleasant enough in Germany each morning
because of the coffee, some music, or fresh air
Until I read Lusaka Times
And the first headline reminds me that life is a battle But a battle I’m sure to win
because nothing will stop me from seeing Zambia again
Veteran,,,
if you copy and paste other people’s ideas it doesnt make you wise,learned or smart,so now that you agree that you just copy and paste other peoples opinions i very much doubt you can engage or challenge anyone on any economic,law or good governance, dont brag that you once sat behind a desk,some people here are rightly calling you senior citizen because almost all your bloggs are an exact copy of what that cadre used to write,tho atleast him he used to do a bit of research before posting,you should be ashamed coz if you have been to a university or just a colledge,they teach against plagiarism
All comments are fine from everyone
A wise man once said, if you are going to steal, make sure you dont get caught. RB’s sons and RB himself, will have all their business activities post presidency highly scrutinised, so i hope they can demonstrate having rightly won business in the prescribed manner (Tender board, track record, financial rescilience) What is more shocking is people like OLILO condoning corruption in the name of “Enjoying”. When you are wealthy, you lead a certain life style that becomes normal to you. You don not wake up every morning thinking “today i am going to enjoy”! Its not party time everyday – The Rich invest most of their money, not spend it!
I bet all you bloggers need my big brains to put things in older
RB and his sons needs lessons or trainings on ethics in procurement
folks we should be thankful for zambia. it is true the country is facing some challenges right now but this is why we are here, we need to come up with solutions collectively. if there are people that have ideas to resolve the current issues, let them put such forward. this culture of just talking corruption, what corruption are you talking about. people are talking of oppressed people in zambia, where?? we must be careful. we only have one zambia, remember. no sata, hh or better still bwezani has monopoly n wisdom on how to govern the country. we dont have to wait till 2011 for hh or sata to come so as to improve the economy, social etc. the problems we are facing are real and are happening now. if sata has plans let him say. he does not need to be in govt to contribute to the developemnt
Politics aside.What veteran raised on #65 irks me.This is an excerpt from the budgetary process in Zambia.
“After the fiscal year: The Auditor General audits the public accounts. Excess expenditure appropriations can still be passed to authorise expenditure up to 30 months after the end of the fiscal year. While the Auditor General is supposed to submit his report within 12 months,
the lag currently stretches to up to 24 months. The Public Accounts Committee in Parliament reports to the house on the report, but neither Parliament nor the Auditor General has any power to hand cases over for prosecution or ensure that corrective action is taken.”
Now my question is,who has the power ? Looking at how bogus the whole process no wonder we have thieves still in politics and ready to…
Ba Nine Chale #115 Just stay where you are and enjoy your life. Coming back to Zambia is lke going back to Egpt and Pharaoh. Things are bad in Zambia tulechula.
things are bad bwe bantu. the first 365 days of nothingness. about 700 days more to go and this man is saying we leave his children alone, they are enjoying and majority of Zambians are not
But kwena there are major issues like fuel shotages to talk about and somebody is busy talking about kids and politics….WTF
ealous is witchcraft that hurts the the one that harbors it than the hated.It is no surprise that RB has a natural smile always while the envious haters are bleeding.RB has invested in his children wisely because he treasures education. He has educated all his children from prestigious US schools when others failed to use earnings from their Diplomatic services wisely but flaunting for nothing. The same is true to most kids on blogs; they have dropped out of school for low wage jobs and blogging insults thinking there is a future in illiteracy. RB’s children like KK’s have brains and all hold Graduate school MBAs and MS degrees.

Blog and introspect, what do you have? Jealous will not rewrite records or deliver you dividends. If you have facts instead of innuendos on all these, take them to court.
How has RB contributed to the failure of Kavindele’s rail business dream? Tell us here if you have any clue if he has managed to secure the required funds? Kavindele has failed despite sourcing bits and pieces from some apartheid right wing south Africans and some few Angel investors in the US.He is still 65% less the budget. He wants GRZ treasury to give him the 65%.That is BS of ages. Are you sure the idea that tax papers money at over US $ 120 million should be committed to Kavindele without security considering that all in his name have taken caveats?
iwe veteran wa landa sani tusha ko. There are no awards for being the blogger with the most postings
Iwe Veteran stop copying and pasting. The things you have written have already been read earlier on. Stop being childish and grow up wechipuba ichikulu.
Let’s not forget a few months after Banda became prez he,his wife and all his older children and their wives went on vacation in Luangwa/Mfuwe using tax payers money. If his children are education and rich why didn’t they foot their own bills? As long as are involved in our assets and enjoying our tax money they are not off limit.
Akututanenifye muma bedroom yenu and stop bringing your dirty laundry out to the poor people of zambia….yangu!
I just threw up and the puke spelled ‘Veteran’
131 these are the previliges of being in plot 1. if sata goes in their he will also pick his children ad take them to mfuwe. do youn think that sata will pick you to accompany him to mfuwe… forget it my bululu. sata has his own personal agenda for plot one. you are busy crying for change to put sata in state house and when you realise that he is there just to take care of his selfish needs.. you will start crying for change again…. now you have the time to just better your life. crying for change and insulting banda and his family wont help your situation. if you have equipped yourself and your family for the world, you will forever be crying for change even after sata…..
Empty cans make the most noise. If you are not smart, getting a degree or PhD from a prestigious school will not make a difference. Look at the Zed prez he has a degree but he is not smart. I can tell you the smartest person in living in Zambia is Valentine Chitalu, this guy right here is untouchable.
135. agreed. and the most crooked too.
Beyonce wapa Zed,
In your incoherent English, what metrics are you using to conclude that Valentine Chitalu is the smartest Zambian? Are you basing your opinion on his errand as a commonwealth mole to out play edith Nawakwi over the mines and rape Zambia in the privatization with Mbazima then after doing so, defecting to CDC and Anglo America? Is that being smart? What has he done for the country anyway apart from offloading all parastatals as ZPA chief? I would even dress up that tag on accomplished Zambians around the world working NASA or those in the who is who in the “Zambia Brain Drain” listing from around the world than your Chitalu.If he had brains, market reforms process could not have stripped Zambia like this.
Be smart Zambians! RB is not dull, but master of all masters in calculated moves. Whatever blunder he makes is a calculated move. He has been in and out of the country not for anything, but arrange for evaporation of his family before we know it. Remember how Moses advised the Israelis to trick the Egyptians with their jewels. Its time for his family to amass by whichever means. Ni NSHITUMPA LIBILI umufyashi uyu (UNIP went empty handed)!
Yaba..Ba Veteran ( Senior Citizen) kwena balafola too much from RB. He is 24/7 blogging in defence of RB. You should now tell RB to promote you.
Ba Kambongolo,
One thing you should never blunder doing is blindly following people like Veteran because they are cage on what keeps them lubricated.You blog while all other things are waiting on you to move.The likes of Veteran are professional spin Doctors handsomely enumerated regardless of what other things they do.You follow them at your own peril.When they have time to blog, they do so to wore you out while making money.You gata be smart not to fall in that trap.
things are bad bwe bantu. the first 365 days of nothingness. about 700 days more to go and this man is saying we leave his children alone, they are enjoying and majority of Zambians are not
Mwata, don’t get me wrong here. Chitalu maybe crooked but he is smart. That man can be taken to the highest court in the land but guess what? he covered his tracks.
Beyonce wapa zed – get your facts right. Yes Valentine is bright but not the brightest zambian walking the planet. There are zambians working in sophiacated laboratories round the globe and involved in research that is generating billions of for the western world. Rupiah banda has realised this fact and no wonder he has opened a desk for zambians in diaspora. Kavindele had his chances to make money but as usual once some people make money the first thing they think of is catching up on all the things they did not have in childhood – expensive wines and round shaped women.
RB you are a small person in this country so please stop the nonsense. Some i.d.i.o.t.s are lying to u that u will win in 2011.
Yes yo children must also keep away from state machinery. You even tell you daughter in law to be putting thighs together, not ukwisulamo and moreover that white pant is conspitiuosly seen by everybody. Tell her we are not interested in knowing the color of her pant of the day.
TOO MUCH JEALOUS PLEASE.ALL THESE ATTACKS ABOUT RB AND HIS CHILDREN ARE MOTIVATED BY ENVY AND JEALOUS.MUZALOWA IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFULL!
LMAO, #1 prophe tess you’re too funny. Is that a kabudula am looking at shuwa? na ona malosa ine pano?
EVEN THOUGH THE ECONOMY IS FAILING, RUPIAH BANDA HAS TRIED HIS BEST TO FILL IN THE GAP THAT LEVY LEFT. WE JUST LOOKING AT IT FROM THE OUTSIDE BUT I AM MORE THAN SURE ITS NOT EASY FOR OUR PRESIDENT.IGNORANT PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS TALK BAD THINGS ABOUT ABOUT HIGH ACHIEVERS AND THATS THE REASON YOU STILL FIND THEM IN THE SAME PLACE AS 20 YRS AGO.
I THINK RUPIAH IS DOING A GREAT JOB! GUYS JUST STOP ACCSUING HIM OF STUPID THINGS. WANNA BE PRESIDENTS WILL TAKE ZAMBIA NOWWHERE. I REALLY HOPE RUPIAH WINS NEXT TERM. HE IS MATURE ENOUGH TO HANDLE ZAMBIA AT ITS WORST.
HICHILEMA, SATA, KAVINDELE? I MEAN WHAT DO THESE WANT? COME ON GUYS?
THEY ARE SMEARING THE PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY IN ORDER TO GAIN WHAT? THE PRESIDENCY? THE DIVISION IS HERE EVEN BEFORE THEY WIN SO I AM BEING WISE AND SAYING STOP!
