George Kunda’s failure to show up in Milanzi fuels rumours of his evacuation to SA

Share

Vice President George Kunda

Vice president George Kunda’s absence in Milanzi, despite the programme indicating that he was suppose to be there, has left people wondering whether is in fact true or not if he had been evacuated to South Africa for treatment..

A source from Milanzi tells QFM, SATURDAY morning, that the vice president has not been seen in the constituency to drum up support for the MMD candidate in the forth coming Milanzi by election.

The source says that Mr. Kunda was supposed to address a rally last week, but he never showed up.

He says that MMD senior officials have also expressed ignorance over the non- show of the vice president.

Yesterday, Chief government spokesperson Ronnie Shikapwasha expressed ignorance over reports that Vice president George Kunda has been flown to South Africa for medical attention.

Highly placed sources told QFM News that the vice president has been flown to South Africa for medical attention and will only be back in the country on 29th April 2010.

The source further explained that the vice president was flown out of the country on Wednesday 21st April 2010.

But when contacted on Friday to confirm the reports, Chief Government spokesperson Ronnie Shikapwasha expressed ignorance about the matter stating that he knows nothing about the vice president.

  1. Whats with the secrecy? We need to pray for the man so that he heals quickly. We do not need the Nigeria drama here

  2. Though the man has turned out to be a political misfit,i honestly wish him well.And if ones health is failing its wise to retire and lead a quiet life,needless to force matters at the expense of your life!

  3. How can the chief government spokesman express ignorance for christ sake,,,where is the wisdom in this man of God,the best he could do is to ask the press to come back to him on the matter at a later stage when he has some information,we always look up to our leaders for answers and solutions sometimes,but if they express ignorance,then they are not supposed to lead,lest they lead us into a bottomless pit,what a hopeless leadership

  4. May Levy Mwanawasa rest in peace! politicians should learn to retire when their health cannot allow them to work. I always think that maybe Levy wold still be with us, had he retired just after that first stroke.

  5. You are right # 8 politicians in zambia should be cleaver enough to know when to call it quits. I think we have had a lot of national mournings of late coz of politicians who can`t read the hands of the clock.Si mwamene mudala MMD chief bootlicker:)>-

  6. Well, hope he comes back in the passenger seat not in cargo section. He has antagonised too many people, given his ill health he should have stayed home more….:-w

  7. George’s Lips turned very RED on 20th, he is sick despite eating well using our tax. On top of that he is busy claiming K88million as allowances from NCC. His Lips turned very RED RB though he is brandishing a RED card too him or Joined Father Bwalya’s “Madness” as RB called it. lelo George, watch Katele Komputer” Kalumba. He has played on you.

  8. The POST busy searching for George in RSA clinics, they will fish him out. We know where they all end up and come back as cargo. Mornigside Clinic, Milpark Clinic. We shall soon fish George out. WE need his red lips for our father Bwalya’s campaign.

    aaah I’m at International Airport and an RSA Plane has just landed, a cargo removed with POLICE Vehicles there, it must be Goerge coming in as Cargo. Brace yourselves. This man offended so many people including me. But I’m not wishing him bad, it’s just that I’m seeing something at the airport. Hope it’s a dream.

  9. AH! JUST FEW DAYS AGO THE PAPERS WERE FULL OF, “THERE IS ENOUGH MEDICINE IN HOSPITALS”. WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM FOR WHICH OUR HOSPITALS DON’T HAVE HIS PRESCRIPTION? BY THE WAY PAY FOR HIM QUICKLY- TOGETHER WITH HIS BOSS, THEY HAVE A LOT OF CRIMINALS CASES TO BE PROSECUTED FOR AFTER 2011. GK, DON’T START KAFUPI’s TRICKS AS 2011 NEARS.

  10. If true his day of reckoning might come before 2011.

    I don’t see why people should pray for the chap. With a fully fit mind he condemned people to death with some of his stupidity. There is a saying, ‘you live and die by the decisions you make’. Why should I pray for him, he could have helped save countless lives when fit and well yet chose not to.

    I for one say, go and meet your maker and answer for what you did on this earth.

  11. #13, that’s a good observation. The govt, medical stores and all other people saying we are OKAY as far as medical care in this country is concerned are liars, period.

  12. Twalumba kapati ba Lt for this information i knew thad thiz chap waz up to somuthingi.I doubted his head when he started talkin for the pact.

  13. Hey guy do you remember how we celebrated the departure of tentamashimba maybe we are in for another one(one mans cup of tea,chiwamina galu e.t.c).:-?

  14. I have a problem with the people celebrating the man’s ill fate (if indeed it is true). The man may be messing up the country, but surely that is no reason to wish him ill will! Let us pray for him to recover and hope he retires from public life.

  15. I just hope is in a ‘stable’ condition. Maybe time to start making up with those he’s made enemies. ‘Munshilumbula mfwa nimuka mwenso’ goes a bemba saying and another one says ‘ ati tapafuka fuka fye cushi nishi palicimo’. Quick recovery George, whilest there please have your head checked as well. All the best, we still need comedians even those who luck God given wisdom( not acquired from old books at UNZA).

  16. We are back again in this episode of “of evacution of medical treatment” just come at the point! there was no sign of life in that chap i dont care if he dies! but it will be of great relief if for the people to hear of such news. Its worth celebrating cakes and champagn

  17. #19 Its too late for recovery? the chap has caused too much suffering & pain? u want him to get away with that ahh? just answer may question Yes OR No?

    there is no need to be supporting wrong things. This should send a clear massege too all wannabe leaders to be -watchful of the action otherwise this is what happen when u are very careless

  18. #18 Splaka
    Do you know the meaning of hypocrisy? Remember we also have human beings on death row for murder and other very serious crimes, so whats the difference these guys are busy misappropriating our resources when our people are dying from curable and preventable ailments. For example he unnecesarily ordered his juniors to have a jolly ride to have an ariel view of floods in Lusaka when what was needed was to buy drugs and move the people from affected areas instead of wasting massive amounts of money on jet fuel. These are worse than criminals on death row, not too long ago they shared k5bn amongest themselves for doing absolutely nothing, what crime can be more serious than this. People are dying from serious deseases like cancer while they fly themselves topping up and knee massa.

  19. Zambians when did you become so spiteful. What is happening to you guys. Since when is the demise of another human being a cause for celebration. Please do not bring curses upon yourselves. Pray for your vice president if at all it is true he has been evacuated. Politics and hatred should not consume your powers of reason to the extent that you even start wishing people dead.

  20. #22 Mushabati
    Countryman am deeply sorry i was just pretending to be….. you know but anywhere check my comment #23 from real me.

  21. I don’t know why the illness of the second in command should be top secret. Citizens should be informed without delay anytime anything happens to the president any of his cabinet members.:-w

  22. Who cares about this chap ! Whatever happens the bemba`s say “pafwa bantu pashala bantu” life goes on bane.:-?

  23. How can Ronnie say he “knows nothing about the vice president?” What kind of answer is that? What government is he serving in?

  24. **==It would be a dreadful and sad thing if we lost him, his a hero in some way after all.At least he is known or will be remembered for awarding 5 billions to all NCC delegates, am certain they will cry more.But on a serious note get well soon george, #22 and # 14 it does not make sense to be joyed over a persons illness.

  25. How any right thinking person would rejoice in the suffering of another human being and even wishing them dead, beats me. I really feel sorry for Zambia, we have turned into such evil people. Nothing is gained from loss of life other than sorrow.

  26. Hope he does not die right away .. he needs to suffer a long excruitiating painful slow death. Let us see his job save him now. This is why in life, people need to do the right thing at all times. And in the instance that we fail, apologise and mean it. I mean, the “mighty” George Kunda may actually be checking out and no amount of power or powerful friends can save him. We all gonna die but at least when I die, I know I did not sell my soul for K20M per month.

  27. # 31, you are so wrong. We can rejoice in the death of an evil person. George Kunda is the kind of man who would sell his mother to keep his job. He is so self centered and cares nothing about the rest of the country. I know were taught not to wish people ill and I am not. The fact is that George in life and his capacity has doen more harm than good to Zambians just so he can make his K20M a month and live in a fancy house and be driven in a fancy car. It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world but George did it for less. In my view ( and we can disagree) his death just like RB’s death would be a good thing for the country.

  28. Yaba awe you cant have so much to say. I think it is true he is sick seriously coz he has been out of action for two months now. My prayer is that Kunda be yield and then retire from active politics for he is not a politician but a terible bootlicker. May be his ailment caused him to stop thinking properly. If you will heal soon please confess the Lord Jesus as your saviour. We will miss your confusion any way. May the Good God bless you so that you repent of your arragance. [-o<[-o<

  29. The Minister challenged members of the public speculating about the shortage of drugs at hospitals and clinics in the country to go to Medical stores and see for themselves.WE HAVE WELL QUALIFIED DOCTORS WHO HAVE RUN AWAY TO GREENER PASTURES THE SAME DOCTORS WHO ATTEND TO THESE SPECIAL PEOPLE ARE ZAMBIANS IF SERVICES WERE BETTER THESE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE AND NO NEED TO EVACUATE THESE FOLKS TO RSA FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION BECAUSE AH SHINGI TUFWAPO GUYS TO SAY THE TRUTH SO LET THE GOVERNMENT DO SOMETHING TO IMPROVE THE CONDITIONS SERVICE AND BRING BACK QUALIFIED PEOPLE I BELIEVE ZAMBIA CAN DEVELOP AND BECOME JUST LIKE RSA AND WE SHOULD DO AWAY WITH THESE GUYS WHO ARE SELFISH WITH OLD IDEAS THIS 21 CENTURY BUT WE 200 YRS BEHIND.

  30. Why should I wish George a full recovery? I believe that he is a rotten, thieving, cheating liar. I believe that the man has played a key role in keeping the nation hostage and limited its development. I believe that decisions that he has made (personally) have resulted in misery for thousands of people.

    I don’t care if he’s on death’s door, if he lead a good life and was a true leader then maybe I would. Zambia’s are just too forgiving, that is why we are in such a depressing situation.

  31. :(:-w:-?:o:)**==:-?:-@:-b8-x:-??:-
    YA PIPO PIPO PIPO EVEN IF SOME ONE IS OR WAS EVIL SOME HOW GRIEF IS GRIEF LETS NOT WISH HIM BAD LUCK BUT IF ITS TRUE HE HAS BEEN EVACUATED LETS WISH HIM QUICK RECOVERY AND RETURN BACK HOME WE NEED HIM SO MUCH AND IN GOOD CONDITION OF COURSE!

  32. We need to reflect seriously on this. Remember what goes around comes around because history has a tendency of repeating itself. Fast forward, looking into the future, after sata`s installation as the next president in 2011, somewhere along the line due to the pressures of the presidency, his heart issues recur and…. whemm!!…. the worst happens. What does this make us? a cursed nation? that makes us people of good intetions but making bad decisions? Am not stamping for RB. Infact I don`t believe the patience of Zambains putting up with the guy

  33. May his soul end up in hell. The guys knows he is very sick with Red Card all over his lips, and just doesn’t want to leave us in peace. You will just be going one after another

  34. A reliable source has just mentioned to me that it seems the man has actually kicked it. No confirmation yet! Stay tuned!!

  35. The Vice- president needs to quit politics and rest. Family and his health are more important than politics. If indeed he is unwell we wish him quick recovery. God is great he will see him thru.

  36. If the health sector they say is ok, why are they flown to South Africa, i thought we are all equal under the law? So Bwana MMD followers on this blog, Educate me, why has the VP (if the rumors are true) been flown to SA, and not treated at UTH since your political party has taken care of the health sector? Why should the poor tax payer who lives in Chibolya, and does not have the opportunity to be flown to SA, have to pay for this AIDS victims treatment?

  37. The big question is, WHY HAS MMD FAILED TO IMPLEMENT THE DECENTRALISATION POLICY??
    Those close to MMD know that their fear is that Councils will perfome better, especially the City and Municipal Councils which are under the opposition, and that would be a threat to the survival of MMD. This is the perception of those in MMD, its sad to have such shallow minded leaders that can hold back the development of the nation for their own benefit at the expense of the masses.

    Finally, are the MMD controlled Councils doing better than those under the opposition?

    Can MMD tell us why Councils they control e.g. Kaoma in Western Province, Milenge in Luapula and Isoka have had misappropriation cases (not misapplication)??

  38. Ronie might be saying the truth as he knew it at the time, i would give him the benefit . It now looks like VP is in Milpark anyway, no surprise, a lot of politicians look like they have good potential to be ‘evacuees’ , please include the opposition in this…

  39. The fundamental questions we should answer are:

    Is Zambia going to be better off with George Kunda alive?
    is Zambia going to be better off with George Kunda dead?

  40. # 48
    george kunda was a very cold blooded saddist he had no heart no feeling instead of performing his duty as VP he focus all his energy in blocking any form of development and opportunity in the country.On top of that he impoverished and tormented soo many innocent lives both emotionally,mentally and physically.

    hes daelth will fast-forward the development in the country so i wouldn’t supprized to find people celebrating his death like chrismas rice and chicken bottle of champagn and a cuban ciggerz

  41. Ppl, ppl.
    need to reflect seriously on this. Remember what goes around comes around because history has a tendency of repeating itself. Fast forward, looking into the future, after sata`s installation as the next president in 2011, somewhere along the line due to the pressures of the presidency, his heart issues recur and…. whemm!!…. the worst happens. What does this make us? a cursed nation? that makes us people of good intetions but making bad decisions? Am not stamping for RB. Infact I don`t believe the patience of Zambains putting up with the guy

    Complain about this comment

  42. The Holy Spirit spoke expressly that in the last days, difficult times shall come. ‘Men shall be selfish… hard hearted… diabolical,,, savage’ etc. Reading this blog today makes me know that we are in the last days.

  43. “But when contacted on Friday to confirm the reports, Chief Government spokesperson Ronnie Shikapwasha expressed ignorance about the matter stating that he knows nothing about the vice president.”

    Isn’t it worrying if the Chief Government Spokesperson can say “…he knows nothing about the vice president.”

  44. Hey everbody! # 56 has a point.Let`s not avoid his point because we will soon be choosing a leader and MC is the front runner right now. We need a serious discourse on this. No pretence. though we love this man dearly, what about his condition and are we ready for another tragedy, The writing is on the wall

  45. # 57. For your own information, some of us are using our brains and doing research. The truth is, that holy spirit/blble thing is BULL CRAP fake human creation and STOP feeding it on us.Don`t create laziness.Look at the bible closely,it contains worse heinious sins. nothing is new. this is just human nature. If you need more we can disect the bible. Peolple I concur with #s 56 and 59. After our tragedy on LPM M.H.S.R.I.P.We need to seriously examine the health of our potential 2011 presidents. let`s not fall in the sam trap. “To be forewarned is to be armed”

  46. If indeed George is dead then I am the happiest man on earth. It’s quite rare to see really bad and evil persons like Kunda die sooner because it appears they live for ever to cause perpetual anguish among innocent souls. But sometimes God comes in handy to save the masses from evil little people like Kunda. I believe the spirits of mother Zambia are too pissed off to wait for 2011. RB is next; it’s very likely that RB will die in a plane crash not too long from now. His challenger (presidential jet) is not serviced as scheduled becoz of his frequent unplanned aimless travels. So, it’s just a matter of time before it comes down tumbling. I wish him a painful death. By the way George Kunda, may you rot rapidly!

  47. it must be tough for RB.on one hand he has a story to tell in mufumbwe ,on the other he has to pay checks for george who is sick in joburg.The mmd is full of sick people like VJ and yet the zambian want them to continue.is that not shame.kapembwa is speaking of medicines in hospitals and that same medicines is not saving his friends in crime.everything seems to be working against mmd .mmd kuya bebele .viva HH and SATA.I Liked the picture in which HH is pointing a warning finger at the inspector general of police.

  48. Where is George Kunda, The cargo I saw at International Airport yesterday with Police vehicles flashing beacons and a cargo offlioaded, up to now there has been no disclosure what it was. RB has not made a comment on George’s disappearance. RB cannot distinguish between a DEAD VP and a LIVE One.He was told to Paint his Lips Blue like MMD chitenge’s and not the Natural Very Red he has, it signifies father Bwalya’s Red card campaign.

  49. #63 Timosheko
    Sorry mate but thats the general feeling, the earlier he goes the better. He’s taken his jokes to far it’s over the top now, whenever he opens he’s stinking mouth its all rubbish that comes out. I hope he’s still alive and he’s reading all this.

  50. Hey pipo have you read the post ? There is violence in mufumbwe look at this “Mutale tried to ask Hichilema to sit down but he rebuffed the request saying: “Don’t f***ing tell me to sit down!” ha ha ha things are very balidi.:-?

  51. It is not right to hide his sickness. We need to offer prayers for his recovery. Why should be his sickness be shrouded in secrecy .. he is a public figure. I wish him recovery no matter his political stance.

  52. I hope this “Highly placed sources told QFM News that the vice president has been flown to South Africa for medical attention and will only be back in the country on 29th April 2010‘ is not true.

    Anyhow, this type of information is why Zambia needs only fit Presidents and Cabinet leaders so that we can concentrate on developing our owon Nation and providing Zambians with quality clinics and hospitals instead of flying sick leaders in a secret manner.

    I hope timid MC Sata of the PF will consider not to wear down his body in the forth coming elections and leave fit UPND president HH to run through the whole country in 2011 elections.

    Be blessed dall.

    Matt 6:33 But seek ye first first the kingdom of God and His ruighteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.

  53. Impressive enough FFD president Nawakwi may be proved right about her comment some tile back that MMD was out to wear out Vice President George Kunda.

    This really is an eye opener and I hope the POST will find George Kunda in one of the South African hospitals and ultimately tell the whole Nation what is happening;

    May the good Lord God bless us all and I wish Vice President all the very best wherever he is.
    _
    Matt 6:33 But seek ye first first the kingdom of God and His ruighteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.

  54. I hope Sata didnt touch the VP’s head, or else this could mean bad news for the VP family. We hope he is getting good medical attention here in SA.

  55. 61 may peace be with you and your heart God watch over your soul and please be human their is nothing good in wishing people dead nomata how bad/evil they are o were:o:o:o:o

  56. Hey ppl ! am missing something here. So there`s a phrase in Zed called “toping up” can somebody substanciate. This is interesting

  57. George was told that he was being used by RB so that he can appoint another VP when he dies. Nawakwi said this. Just look at the man he is so weak.

  58. People i wud like to see out of zed politics..VJ, Sata, William Banda, Kunda,Munkombwe, RB, shikaz, Mulongoti..If GK is gone, two down(teta first), more to follow..zambia can just get better with demise of embiciles

  59. This is vey unzambian, wishing people ill or dead, real zambians donot do that, thats why there has been civil war in the country ever. I know GK is not a staint.. rather just vote him off than wishing him dead…. but what can we do, we live in world full of satanist satas and his followers, who will do anything to get in plot 1..

    And I thought by now zambians are civilised on issues of ‘topping’.. especaily those overseas?… wait! you are taking things lightly and feeling good when people die as a result of AIDS,, AFRICA is going to be population zero zone:o

  60. AIDS is the major opposition party to take out the MMD from power.Honourable VP Kunda has fallen victim to the formidable and incorruptible major opposition party.I hope Vigilante William Banda is take out by the major opposition party (atanse na sida).

  61. We wish we kud chase them with ballots.,the VJ’s rig them.Only formidable opposition like mentioned above seem to work for us..so one by one, till our country is cleaned out of dander heads…viva incoruptable ‘opposition’

  62. Yeah ba 3 cheers, you must have a good source of information.The newly appointed Zed Vice presido is testicools Mwansa after the death of Red lips Gorge Kunda

  63. Why really would God spare such a man who is useless to Zambia? Please God, we would appreciate if Kunda would die so that you spare us from the nonsense MMD is doing to a beloved country like ours. Zambia is being destroyed everyday by these crooks. Kunda must sure just die if the report is true. We are tied of these guys.

  64. Zambians have become evil.Please lets be prayerful it seems like we have lost the plot.how would you wish some one dead?????.Remember God sees.Am praying that those wishing kunda dead will be the first ones to die in jesus name.mind you,am reading psalms 106……….
