Former director general of Zambia state security intelligence services, Xavier Chungu has revealed that he is busy in his own style campaigning for republican president Rupiah Banda.
Chungu proudly announced that he has been out to some provinces particularly Luapula province where he discussed with a cross section of residents who are happy with presidents Banda’s achievements.
[pullquote]”I am aware of people’s anxiety to know his whereabouts and how he is surviving, stating that the past is now history and will never repeat itself,” Mr Chungu said.[/pullquote]
He added that president Banda would in this year’s general elections score the highest presidential victory ever in Luapula province contrary to media reports that the province is now almost a no go area for the opposition.
In a press statement made available to QFM, Chungu said president Banda has in his two years in office scored unprecedented successes which he says have been outstanding and beyond record in the history of Zambia’s independence.
He stated that the testing period he went through made him understand the political leadership of Zambia a little more.
“I am aware of people’s anxiety to know his whereabouts and how he is surviving, stating that the past is now history and will never repeat itself,” Mr Chungu said.
He has since urged all peace loving citizens to stand bold and appreciate that Zambia today has a president and political leadership in place to take the country to greater heights.

Whats next, a presidential pardon and a reappointment as Director of Shushu, just saying.
Owe mayo eeee. I think if one did not have a reason to vote out Banda, here it is. Right in your faces. Talk of corruption, there, walking the Lusaka, CB and Luapula potholed roads. Kwena Zambia yalisebana.
what can you expect from these plunderers? At the rate we are moving im afraid Rupiah will win this years’ , because plunderers have regrouped and they will do whatever it takes for him to win.
Chungu campaigning nomba? Elo lwanya
He should be in Jail
Zambia is corrupt, decission like this, makes me know i made the right choice to be marrying someone abroad ,live here and have my children than hearing about people that stole from zambia
thanks
plunderers have regrouped chachine waiting to share the loot. wina azalila
This man is a free man and has the right to enjoy freedom. Do you know what it takes to be the chief of the ‘secret security service’ or to be a fugitive? Chungu has a choice!
Saviour looks different now, would a small amount of jaribu do him good?
Marrying someone abroad is a choice and I respect that. Chungu was serving the nation in a delicate environment. Call him whatever but he will not reveal the secrets of our nation.
Ba Chopeneme, it is a ‘file picture’.
Only imbifi are praising Rupiah. Awe kwena ninshi there is something wrong with the man.
This is utter rubbish, We are are cycling rubbish pit. I was watching lubumbashi congo and looking at the many Jobs that katumbi is doing. Zambians we a dull and stupid because we allow same F.ool to be ruling over and over while our economy detorites
May the good Lord prevail over Zambia!!!
Soon Chungu will be appointed security adviser to RB. His fellow plunderer and criminal FTJ is consultant as per Kunda’s confessions.
Can someone tell me who is the best man/woman for the top job at the moment. That person who will make Zambia a corrupt free nation.
# 15, I think that is not our discussion right now. We are discussing what Chungu did and how Banda has embraced all that Chiluba did with his team. The question you should be asking is why has Banda not rejected this support from a former fugitive and plunderer? The question of who deserves the top job is for people in Zambia to decide.
Our President has reconciled with a lot of people including Captain Solo. Which side was Captain Solo?
Banda should denounce Chungu as he did with that Asian that donated money.
He asked President Mwanawasa to release him from liability under the Official Secrets Act in order to testify in court, but LPM refused. This man was arrested and charged but he cannot be allowed to speak. I do not call that justice in my book. It does not matter whether these men plundered the nation, we do not have to bend the rules of natural justice in order to punish them. Can we condone torture just because through this we will get the information we require? Every accused person must have his day in court and the rules must be fair. X Chungu deserves a fair trial. In any case, is it true that Mr Sata recomended him to Dr Chiluba for the job?
look at the people that support rupiah. chumgu,katele,ftj chiluba, the list is endless, all are criminals and wizards. this goes to show what rupiah is himself.
We play an important role in making the people in Zambia to decide indirectly and directly. Remind me may be I am lost what did Chungu do? Are you talking about the matrix?
Reconciling and pardoning are two different animals. There was literally nothing to reconcile about with Captain Solo. Are you insinuating that Banda has reconciled with Chungu on behalf of the Zambian people Chungu stole from?
If my memory saves me right, some aspiring presidential candidate promised this guy a pardon. What does he and his supporters have to say now? This guy’s done time so let him now pick up the pieces and move on. During Chiluba’s presidency thieving was institutionalized, involving most of the so-called opposition now.

You disappoint me. Every citizen is free to shore up support for anyone they want. This is not marriage. The President does not need to do anything about this. Mr Chungu is at liberty to do what he wants. What you should have a problem with is the media sections that give these so called plunderers the oxygen of publicity. If we really hate them so much, how come we listen to them and publish what they say whenever they open their mouths?
Do you know that in the military or any security field it is a big offence not to obey orders? You can even be eradicated. The problem we have in Zambia lies in the powers we give individuals.
# 19, No Sata did not recommend Chungu to FTJ. It was B.Y. Mwila who did. Coupled with the Ndola relationships that Chungu enjoyed when he was Provincial Director in the KK government some few years into the 1991 elections. So, whoever told you about Chungu and Sata lied to you or you are trying to gain some political mileage by linking this embarrassed guy to Sata. But it wont work because we knew Chungu before you probably heard about him.
WELCOME BACK CHIEF. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK IN LUAPULA AND NOW WITH THE NEW PROVINCIAL TEAM MMD WILL SCOOP LUAPULA DECISIVELY AND CONSIGN THAT USELESS SAKENI TO THE GRAVE
# 24, what is disappointing in stating a fact? Few days ago, your Banda because of trying to gain political mileage pretended he cannot associate with a corrupt Zambian of Indian decency. What is the difference with this plunderer, fugitive and convicted forger?
Chungu was already working with MMD way before 1991 and he passed on ifo to both sides as a double agent. he gave info to MMD and also gave info to KK. He also then married the No. 2’s daughter late daisy nakazwe whose father was no. 2 in system and was the one with KK in DRC when Luchembe hammered that coup. FX is a well trained intel officer who has served Zambia well from the 70’s. He is a protege of VJ and the other early DG’s. He is a solid operative and with him roaming around the country satana has no chance and all his sleeping boys and girls are working round the clock to ensure victory for MMD. dont be surprised that he will be MP for Samfya.
I guess he’s going 2 partner with vj mwanga on how 2 rig the elections
he is spending all his time in luapula quietly pulling strings. NOTE also that the current DG is his very good friend and FX is the one that put him there. Levy was just one crazy fellow. You dont lock up your DG of intel like that and leave him to dry, no way. Thats why the OP busted him out and looked after him in Portugal and in Mozambique. Remember how chulumanda was brought back unceremoniously from maputo???? FX is the man and he will be a senior leader in RB’s second term. Chungu is not a plunderer or forger. His a well trained, patriotic Zambian who refused to expose his boss and the nation to ridicule. instead he preferred to suffer for the sake of the nation. He even protected levy because as everyone knows he is the one who knew what really was wrong with levy and 2001 election
Kambwangas here who have never served our nation and the international system as Chungu and those of us have, we forever remain proud in our careers of brave hearts. We laugh at the the wishful thinking and unbridled ignorance of armchair critics. RB and MMD will land a mandate with historic landslide in 2011. Besides that serious Zambians now building own mansions, owning businesses and assets will continue prospering while Kaponyas in PF swallow in wishful thinking and abject poverty born out of wasted own productive times.
To day Savior Chungu has lied that he has convinced people in Luapula Province to vote for Rupiah Banda. This is as childish as it is the worst type of flattery,
1) – Chungu is only known in his area of Bahati which is catholic school name area. Luapula is a vast area and Chungu a part from being a common name. Xavier is just another Chungu. He has no weight to boast of/
2)- Apart from what I have said I am right now in Mansa in Chief Chisunkas Chiefdom Head man Kabweha’s village and no body is talking about Xavier and his MMD. This means Xavier knows that Rupiah easily believes sweet lies and as such. Xavier expects this traveler to release him from Chimbokaila if he sweetens his lies.

SATA & POST ARE BIG LIARS – Chungu sold the Challenger and shared the money with some pilots so how did he serve the nation we chibushi mabwewe
Tell them! Most people do not know what goes on in the security system. People go to extreme! As we are spending time on the PC, Mobile phone, laptop whatever gadget, politicians (from both the opposition and ruling party) are also busy trying to win the allegiance of the security personnel. However, the ethos is always to serve the nation. National interests comes first. No wonder we have got one of the best intelligence system in the world. Money and worth are irrelevant to a true soldier and an intelligence operative. And once a soldier….or a secret operative….
#35
Litigious – Dont be naive. this same Chungu testified against Mwanawasa on how he helped him win the 2001 elections, This guy is just looking for mercy from Traveller Banda, Be real man. how can one trust a known plunderer, I visited his house at the time it was occupied by Kamima his predicessor, It was a sober home but when I visited it after Chungu took over. man it was like Holly Hood, Trust this guy and you willregret,
Iwe kabwalala just shut the hell up before you get smacked up. You are campaigning for bwezani because you know that once the pact wins you gonna get locked up. So your campaigning for bwezani is based on selfish reasons and not what you say bwezani has done for Zambia. But remember bwezani is not gonna win and your black a.s.s is headed back to jail.
Ba Deja Vu, nga tamwaishiba ifintu, just keep quiet.
Rubbish Plunderer
#9, the only secrets Chungu has are about who stole what. Those are not the sought of secrets the Intelligence service are supposed to keep. He is just an unrepentent thief who thinks Zambians have short memories. May be he is right but next time he intends to cover his tracks better after stealing.
# 38, what has Deja Vu said that constitutes remaining silent? Is it that he has said truth and irrefutable things that you cannot say in MMD? Or is it that the truth is not allowed in your circles to an extent any one who seems to know more is a danger to your well being of MMD?
#38
H.H. Sata says: I dont where you are / me iam in Mansa and Iam using my blackberry to keep up with events. Who is Chungu? Chungu is just a commoon name but did he ever tour Luapula when he and FTJ were plundering the nation?
Or do you want me to mention the pilots that went to Cananada in 2002 to sell the Challenger?
Of course all criminals have found santuary in Rupiah`s government.
Maybe XC should claim he put some money in zamtrop too,like his boss FTJ. I recall reading some UN report about these two and diamond trading for Savimbi.That should have brought in some cool cash.FTJ reckons there is at least $8m in zamtrop for himself,wonder what XC’s cut was ! RB may just give them the loot,it could be handy for the elections.
iwe ka deja vu who does not know that chief chisunka is HH’s mulamu so he wont say anything good about MMD. Luapula is with MMD just like it has always been. Like the man or hate him they guy spent ten full years as DG and in his time Zambia never saw any blood shed even though there was war alll around in DRC and angola and also that foolish lozi chap in namibia. all these things he had to do. on challenger, challenger is a national security issue and if its true he pocketed the money why didnt mutembo prosecuite and how come the same mutembo got a contract to fly the challenger as roan air???? and was being paid huge fees for that
if challenger was sold in 2002 then it is LPM to answwer for it and not chungu and FTJ. you guys are so blinded you cant see beyond the lies of mutembo and membe. the same mutembo who was katumbi’s lawyer and stols roan air from captain chatupa (M.H.S.R.I.P). deja vu tell me who killed shadow and who let shansonga leave zambia? also how come VJ was never touched even after receiving funds from the same zamtrop? why is it the USA Govt has never been involved in these cases and is even now backing RB? where do you think the money came from to get rid of savimbi and senior kabila and bring peace in angola and DRC? what about all that money levy talked about in parliament???? why only charge ftj for 500pin when it was claimed 100’s of millions were stolen. MYTHS thats all…MYTHS
What is this guy on # 45 talking about? He seems to be all over. Man, you are a hole, stop digging.
Kabolala
i am not in any hole my friend. deja vu knows exactly what i am talking about. you have been away from zambia too long kalos2121
# 48, and that means what? When you say I have been away for too long, What is too long for you? What case have you mentioned above that needs one to be there in Zambia for someone to understand?
a lot of issues can only grasped if you are on the ground talking to people beyond bwinjimfumu road in lusaka!! your only access to info is through membe but those of us who are on the ground know why LPM took certain decisions and why he used the whole power at his disposable to deal with his perceived enemies. during RB’s second term a lot of these issues will begin to come out, extra-judicial killings, the stolen 2001 election, the harrassment of mazoka and the corruption of HH and also Sata. you will see these things as soon as RB is inaugurated
#51, Thank you for educating me on cadre mentality 101. You think Banda would have known that HH and Sata committed crimes and he sitting on these cases right now waiting for 2012. What do you think MMD and Rupiah Banda have not thrown at Sata and HH? Are you having some kind of New Year party hangover? You are sick. When did you last walk straight? Please try standing on one leg. That will help you know what is going on around you. Yes you are really on the ground, or should I say your head is buried in the ground. Sand.
Even self confessed thugs, who by way of escaping prosecution by ran away from the country can have guts to speak out in support of the currupt regime. Wake up Zambia and fight this injustice.
Mr Kalos2121 you are the all knowing expert. What more can we add?
Abena Chungu baume, he is back and roaming the streets..t. the combined forces of VJ and Xavier livz the pact with alot of running around to do. Chungu has served his time, he may have been guilty, but he paid 4 it by doing time in the jail, so now he is a free man, free to express himself and now he has chosen to throw his weight behind RB… people who hero worship LPM donot take into consideration that he was only human and had specific targets to sort out when he came to power, regardless he was a great leader

This is sickening. Banda is surely playing with fire by fratenizing with unrepetent plunderers like these. About Luapula voting for Banda, who does not know the nature of our brethrens from Luapula, look at how they bailed out of Bwato once the relationship between Chiluba and Sata soured? Was it also not a Luapulan ‘chieve’ Puta who claimed Chiluba should be forgiven for stealing repeatedly by mistake? They can vote for their Bwezani but in this year’s polls he will lose both the presidency and the MMD’s majority in parliament is going. Then we’ll see where the real power lays. Some people had better start looking for countries to take them as refugees, sooner than later.
Xavier Chungu is another VJ Mwanga in waiting, just to advise current and future Zambian presidents how to rig elections.
Remember, he is the first DG of the Shushushus, to specialise in election rigging, he knows a lot, and that is why he requested to be given permission to divulge the secret information he had.
VJ kawalala was covered because he stole the money via the special operation account not Xavier Chungu.
But for goodness sake where is our money that Xavier Chungu stole?
I personally know Xavier. He is a decent person. But for him to say what he is saying is not good for our political environment. Chiluba, Katele, Xavier, Sakala, a long list of people who made money during Kafupi’s 10 years of plundering. My heart cries for Mother Zambia when I see the whole list of drug peddlers, womanizers, money-launderers in A team of RB. It is time for RB to distance himself or not only lose elections in 2011 but also expose himself and his family members to next government. Yes, RB has taken a part of development to rural areas but his association and condoning criminals is erasing all those achievements.
It’s seems Deja vu and ‘Sata and Post are big Liars’ have a lot of inside information.I lived in Zambia a little over a decade ago and am clueless as to what you are talking about.My question is what are you doing just sitting there? Come on guys,cash in,write books.This is the stuff that Thrillers are made of.Espionage? I see movie rights being sold in the future.Hmm,big money.
This rubbish chungu with banda wait and see
Ma rubbish…
A corrupt man endorsing a corrupt government…..
#24, agree with you. Chungu was a junior officer who shouldn’t have been appointed to head the ZIS had it not been for the CB mafias.
Rupiah Banda is the one funding Xavier Chungu’s trips to the provinces as well as giving clearance to travel. Xavier himself indicated how Rupiah has promised him to have all the cases dropped should he Rupiah be re-elected. Now this is the reason why you all should vote and kick this OLD MOUSE OUT. We can not allow this Country been run like an Animal Farm, that CHILUBA STOLE, TOGETHER with XAVIER CHUNGU, they both need to GO TO JAIL.
This needs to be declared as war because the THIEVES are not resting. HH and SATA needs to put there acts together
Wow .Birds of the same feathers always fly together. Xavier come in to save .We have to learn to sieve .Who and where dos the piece of advce comes from would determine the motive behind it.
Now rings the bell.Thieves are more powerful than anyone else in Zambia.Intimidation is the way in which Zambia is ruled now . Corruption is the supplement . One party Particiatary dictatorship is the main democratic guideline .
#46
SATA & POST ARE BIG LIARS- Up untill June 2002, Chiluba and Chungu plus Sakala were very powerful, Infact in March that year Chiluba had the cheek to fly to Kinshasa to attend Kabilas celebrations without LPMs knowledge
What if Xavier had instead declared support for Sata?
Do you need to be reminded again that Sata was in cohorts with Xavier and his boss not too long ago?
Yes in 2011 we will remind you over and over again.
HH Sata, exactly. and kalos2121 if RB pushed for HH and sata prosecution now, would you accept as a cadre? no. Also it would distract the campaign unnecessarily but once elected for his own full second term, RB will act decisively. Thats why sata and HH are so afraid and concocted this failed Pact to try and win some extra votes but actually they have lost more votes than gained. Instead of responding to issues you just insult, I expect better from you Kalos2121, please analyse and think. my head is very clear and when RB is sitting in state house you will remember my words. By the way he will soon call for an early election as soon as the conventions are over. What about PF and UPND when will see elections? after southern and western province PF staged elections, PF has become quiet??
Having been to Luapula very recently i wish to echo Chungu’s observations and should further state that many provinces have similar observations, party politics aside.
Does anybody know that MMD is interpreting the law of two terms as complete two terms. Accordingly RB qualfies to be president till 2021. Good luck
Chikabolala pamushi. Who the heck does that criminal think he is. He was just a thieving civil servant who has been let off with stolen public money and blood on his back. Who else can he support in his malicious campaign other than someone who will protect his tainted past? Wait until Power to the People takes over – all you guys will flee in underwears. Pembela first.
