  1. “Nili paulendo”…….. We all know you are very good at it sir. That’s why I have even stopped eating utuma trotters because I don’t want to be constanly reminded of you. Anyway, I hope you feel the Katete love :)>-

  2. Rumble in the jungle as democracy takes its way.Democratic electoral victories are about voter conversion rate and not how you are spewing insults and hatred in the tabloid.

  3. RB has miscalculated this move,he has lost Support in N/Western and not Eastern,he should have gone to Mufumbwe and camp there.The VP should have gone to Milanzi becoz the battle is not Stiff has compared to Mufumbwe.

  4. Your Excellence, since you are going home in Eastern Province PLEASE don’t forget to carry enough Sugar, Salt, Cooking Oil, Bathing Soap, Washing Soap and Mealie Meal to give out during the meetings you will be holding in Milanzi. I hope when they get these things they may consider to vote for your candidate.

  5. From now on, parliamentary seats and the republican presidency must be fought for, I mean literally! Let’s have the winner decided in the boxing/wrestling ring! No more campaigning and wasting of resources, telling the people lies! All the candidates for the seat/position must battle it out in the ring! We will have clear winners, no cheating and will be entertaining too!

  6. All those Ministers will be out of Office till Friday why? Just to drum up support! Home affairs has got both the minister and the Deputy out, am sure Mangani will be issuing Directives on who to arrest, Siliya will be promising free education and the number of schools to be built in eastern province,Simbao will be talking about the Medical facilities to be built and the list of lies can go on and on, I jus wonder what RB is gona say..

  7. You see our presedent has now gotten it right by going to Milanzi rather than Mufumbwe because in Mufwembwe there is nothing for MMD.Therefore, a loss in Mufumbwe is better than loss in his home province ( Milanzi)

  8. Mr. Banda’s delegation will include Minister of Home Affairs Lameck Mangani,
    Minister of Agriculture and Co-operatives Peter Daka and Minister of Education Dora Siliya.
    Others are Minister of Health Kapembwa Simbao and Deputy Minister of Home Affairs David Phiri.

  9. Let’s wait and see. Some people are so sure of Mufumbwe, so does that mean that you no longer believe in rigging?

  10. I do not think rigging in mufumbwe will help ,if these MMD failed in Solwezi with all the VJs arround and the VEEP having traveled there twice.

  11. Katie Good on what do you base your seemigly strong support 4 the hour when they ve lamentably failed to move our country forward from where KK left off?

  12. #10 RED CARD, Well observed, it’s an all easterners delegation. Tribalism in Zambia is cancerous.
    Good luck to you Mr President!

  13. A hundred reasons but by far the most important is that you other guys have not given us a viable alternative for the change that you advocate. If you love your country you cannot possibly replace the current leadership with a vacuum, can you? And you have no basis for change except the rumours that you have been fed by the Post, and mmembe alias “reliable sources”. If in 2006 when the Post was a “credible” paper it condemned Sata and called him a scoundrel, they have taken you for granted and not explained to you why suddenly the same guy is an angel. That speaks volumes about the Post’s integrity and lack of respect for their readers, doesn’t it?

  14. Let the people of Eastern province boot out MMD. We are sick and tired of thieves! The Auditor General’s report has all the names of thieves and how much they stole but ther are stuill in leaedrship!! MMD-Movement for Massive Destruction!!!!

  15. Ba President besu nabo kuli DO baume sana, temukupafye baleya ku Milanzi? Balitemwa sana utu ma under age kwati ni ci Zuma J. capa South. Elyo nabene nabeshiba ati Milanzi constituency is full of the PACT for Life.

  16. @ Katie.. I dont remember any Day in ma Life when The Post Sata was an Angel, Kindly refresh ma mind, I do remember though that this is the same Sata who was buzy campaining for Chiluba’s 3rd Term with the Hope that he will be made President but when Chiluba picked Mwanawasa Sata Left MMD and formed PF, One thing Katue we ve got Pasts, dont think yoz is clean either.

  17. Mr. Banda’s delegation will include Minister of Home Affairs Lameck Mangani, Minister of Agriculture and Co-operatives Peter Daka and Minister of Education Dora Siliya.
    Look at this composition if it were other parties MMD Chief bot, Senior Citizen, KC and other MMD caders would have mentioned TRIBAL. Chiwamina Garu. Its your time come on guys

  18. #21 Kashman, I have not claimed that my past is dirty or clean. But then it is immaterial, I am not aspiring to be Republican President, am I?
    As for the first part of your question, when you read a newspaper don’t you read to interpret and understand what you read? If not, why do you read? Because you cannot interpret things for yourself, my friend, mmembe is happily filling the vacuum and in the process brainwashing you into a robot or zombie for his selfish ends. I am surprised that some people haven’t realised that all this time and unwittingly accepted to be his zombies..

  19. Katie Good for goodness sake leave the Post and Fred alone.They ve never claimed to be angels and at times they ve admitted that they dont always get their facts correct.The Zambians you call zombies ve made the Post by far the country s leading newspaper,and i dont think they fools or zombies.Its within yr right to be passionate about the Hour but look at the bigger picture.
