start with yourself. look what you doing!
look wshat you are doing.
Same old stories.
The title is misleading. It should refer to ‘troublemakers’ and not ‘troubleshooters’. The two words have different meanings. An organisation will welcome a troubleshooter and detest a troublemaker, and not the other way round. Anyway, I’m being slightly off-topic. Forgive me, it’s one of those lazy afternoons.
Warns trouble shooters? What does he want, trouble makers???
This is what happens when you live in perpetual fear of losing power. You mix and misunderstand words.
It wud hav bin nyc 2 hav silvia masebo in the opposition(NAREP or UPND).
Good afternoon
#4 Areaboy’s observation is perfectly right – troubleshooting is synonymous with problem solving and not troublemaking as implied by the headline. One wonders how such errors go unnoticed by the editor?
And RB’s lecture at hand leaves me questioning whether this is the right time for taking refuge in party conferences and distributing praises for loyalty? I feel this is rather the time to keep an overview of the status of national unity and to put in place the measures needed to ease the dire situation caused by violence in the Western province.
RB go back to Unip
MMD cannot improve with an impersonator like Titus Mpundu Kafupi in the background as an advisor to RB. Titus is directing the party, where can MMD go apart from the drain? RB himself admits to being UNIPist. How can a UNIPist lead a party whose principles he does not believe in?
MMD, you are doomed.
I want to rename MMD to Pakamutengo Party or UNIP2,help what do you think,oh and you trouble shooters, i will ask Kabonde to site you for treason.Thankyou.
She does not know how to dress Masebo, She is all over the place
embarrasing
Thanks
Silvia Masebo inchito yamoneka.Am sure Shi Mpundu has something for you.
MASEBO, LPM used to say loyalty to the Party and the President, so now show that to the current MMD AND REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT, dont be like MAGANDE, MMD is the only Party for you, dont be cheated by Wynter to go to PF. GO AND MOBILISE THE MMD and vote RB 2011
Same old old stories of development on paper.
Let people see the development on the ground so the tap it.
RB chikopo!
#15, if you choose to be blind then you will not see. If you choose to be ignorant then you will not learn. And if you choose to believe memmbe then you are in a dream and everything else including your wife and children are not real – you are yet to wake up from that nightmare.
Masebo is a patient, nobody can give her a post to be embarrassing herself by collapsing in public. Even on the picture above the wearing of artificial hair makes her appear older than her age.
Agony is when you hound out trouble shooters from your party and only to discover that troubles increase instead. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
Trouble shooters sort out trouble. Trouble makers cause trouble.
In keeping with archaic and paranoid leadership troubleshooters are actually THE threat because they always try to weed out problems (including those perpetuated by their leadership). I am not surprised that RB wants them out. I suppose then trouble makers will simply be crushed because by and large trouble makers are often quite hapless when it comes to defending themselves… Happy Sunday everybody!
#12 Mushota who do think you are to compair your self to madam Masebo? even the picture itself explains everything about you. i only appreciate one thing from you, you havent forgoten your culture (ifinyau) that how you look so please stop this nosense pantu nalakupwisha!!! nakushamo.
its seems zambian politician believe that if you have politically different opinion you should not belong to the same party. everyone in a political party must be of one opinion. that is why these parties die after they are pushed out of power. it no wounder that there are no politicians with few exception like dipak who have a political ideology or have a particular belief. MMD is busy expelling people, PF believes in over throwing MMD, UPND believes in HH, FDD believe in i dont know, UNIP believes in nothing. wow
Iwe Lifuka @ 22 ninshi mushota ulamumfwa good. how does an idealogy alias mushota worry u
wishingful thinking mmd can never scoop Lusaka. No matter who campaigns for mmd they can never win Lusaka. MMD is divided among itself so wining is a dream.
She is now working energetically for RB, while the boyfriend ( Post Managing Editor) is for Sata. That is like mixing water with oil
Mr Siulapwa a political head of some none existance party was busy praising RB and declaring to contest the Chongwe seat. he thought Silvia masebo is in bad books with RB. lelo Siulapwa you are mistaken. RB you support wont endorse you and your attach on Mr. Sata has been wishful thinking.
Sorry meant attack on Mr. Sata has been wishful thinking posted in # 27 above.
