The submerged minibus in the Chifubu stream.This accident claimed 13 lives

President Rupiah Banda has directed the Zambia Police Service to thoroughly investigate the cause of Sunday’s minibus accident which claimed the lives of 13 people in Ndola.

 

The President has also directed the Road Traffic Regulators and the Zambia Police Service Traffic Unit to bring sanity to the Zambian roads.

He says overloading, wreckless and drunken driving must be curbed so as to reduce road carnage through out the country.

The President says he is greatly saddened and touched by the death of many young people who could have contributed immensely to the country’s development in various areas.

President Banda is displeased that the bus that caused the accident on Sunday was overloaded.

Mr Banda says he is short of words to understand how a bus which was supposed to carry 26 passengers carried 45 passengers at the time of the accident.

The President was speaking in Ndola Wednesday morning when he addressed mourners at the Reformed Church in Zambia.

Thirteen young people from the RCZ girls and boys brigade perished on Sunday after the bus they were in from a church mission in Luanshya plunged into the Chifubu stream in Ndola.

President Banda who is clad in black openly wept when he paid his last respects to the 13 accident Victims.

The President also spent time meeting the family members at the Church before addressing the mourners.

And Reformed Church in Zambia Synod Moderator Lucas Mwale thanked President Banda for the moral, financial and material support given by government to the bereaved families.

The President arrived in Ndola at Chifubu High School grounds at 09: 30 Hours.

He is accompanied to the copperbelt by Mines Minister Maxwell Mwale and Works and Supply Minister Gabriel Namulambe.

President Banda has since left Ndola for Kitwe where he is scheduled to open a new mine and launch the One trillion kwacha Urban Road rehabilitation exercise.

More than five hundred kilometers of the road network will be rehabilitated in Lusaka, Kafue, Kapiri Mposhi, Kabwe and the Copperbelt province.

  1. “Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.”

    Your president how can he start condemning people for over loading? Those were innocent people, just mourn and say some biblical things, not about development, drunkenness etc

  2. Come on RB, stop using funerals to campaign. crying at a funeral is just a campaign ploy. Since when did Zambian men start to openly weep at a funerals?

    The last time somebody with a title of president openly wept at a national funeral , something dangerous followed. He went one to plunder the nation and took Zambia 10 years backward. Watch out Zambians. Be on guard. I see plunder version 2 in the works here.

    Sorry, ALA BEE, even this trick will not work. Copperbelt shall remain PF strong hold. No amount of emotionalism will sway our support base. And Abash old men crying openly in public.

  3. Kulilafye yama not ama finger pointing, remember nipa malilo apo.You can talk about overloading and drunk driving later even through Dickson Jere.Donchi kubeba.

  4. We know that the snake has no tears. After hacking people in Chawama he never shade a tear so we do not expect thympathy from his heartless followers. Copperbelt may be PF stronghold but MMD under Rupiah Banda has made inroads. You are f00ling yourselves if you think Sata is going to win Copperbelt with the margins of 2008. RB is winning this year whether you like it or not. Period.

    • are you dreaming or what?am sure you dont know what you are talking about,this time around the margin is going to be bigger than ever……remember we have new supporters who just registered as voters so kanshi ni donchi no kwalasha ni zeeeeee sana!!!!

  5. old triks – Chiluba style. Sebana wikute. Chililo choobe nangu ma zeetofye? so that you can get some votes. Why did you mourn the kafue mazambuka victims?

  6. Desperation has reached alarming levels now.Crocodile tears indeed.Rupiah is just campaigning, why didnt he attend funerals for police shooting victims in Mongu,Mazabuka and Lusaka?
    The fact that copperbelt has the largest number of registered voters makes Bwezani very uncomfotable.Wait mudala,time for real crying is coming.

  7. Just when are you PF bloggers going to put Politics aside?The sudden tragic death of 13 young people who were on God’s mission can easily send any body who has the heart for the families who have lost these young people to shed tears.Some of these young people who perished could have been the only hope for a family of aging parents or orphans.How does a President show his concern for the people if he cannot mourn with them.What were you going to say if RB WAS CRACKING A JOKE AT THE FUNERAL? Watch out.If God grants your will and Michael Sata steps in State House,within 90 days you will discover that you bargained for HELL.

  8. And this old man failed to shed a tear in western province.Why becoming a baby lila now ? Nonsense.

  9. HOW I WISH OUR DEAR RB CRIED FOR BAROTSE,MAZABUKA AND MANSA SHOOTINGS CAUSE IF WE ADD THE DEATHS IN THESE SHOOTINGS THEY WILL EQUAL THE # CHIFUBU ACCIDENT HOWEVER BRAVO FOR THE PROJECTS

  10. 11 Keen Mpombo Supporter – How many people have died recently, many so why cant your old man attend all those funeral? Simple because there is no publicity surrounding them.Yes it is all politics

  11. from the comments above it appears that RB must stop doing anything at all or he’ll be politikingly campaigning! Am I the only one reading btwn the lines suggestions for RB to go to sleep until after elections?

  12. RB’s crying for those accident victims is serious, he should direct police officers to impound all flash buses operating in lusaka. These buses are so rotten that they are only fit to carry dogs o maggots. Suprisingly the owner of these death traps rotten buses is the first one to fight for fare increment when his rotten buses dont even deserve to charge 1pin fr town to chelstone. Mr president, prevention is better than cure, flush out these rotten flash buses.

  13. no wonder they call u Homos and Lesbians..PF PF PF pliz. RB was on national duty to kitwe to commission urban roads n passed thru a funeral house. which is ok n i dont think there is a need to bring stupid politics here..there is nothing wrong to mourn the dead n those youngsters wr on GODs mission. if u PF thinks u ll win this elections then u r dreaming,,n this is not the first time u hv had such dreams, remember? n most of u want RB to stop performing during election yr,,dont mk me laugh. Go RB Go,,if it means campaigning.. who ll stop u?   # 16 iam with u too.

  14. All you people politicizing this are very petty and cant tell between what is debatable and what is not. Surely a presidemt cant attend a funeral as any normal Zambian does. You are the same punks who cause unncecessary chaos at funerals.

  15. He says overloading, wreckless and drunken driving must be curbed so as to reduce road carnage through out the country. All these are piled on citizens;what about poor ppooooooooooooorrrrrrr roads that we have. Don’t they contribute to accidents? Most of these buses are not road worthy due to lack of spares coupled with bad roads. Spares may just take a few days before they give up to poooooooorrrr roads. And its bull sh1t to demand for huge Duty by ZRA on a newer car than an old one. How do you charge more for road worthy cars that are imported. Think again you ZRA margots! Its clear that crocodile tears will never end in Zambia. We have seen them before and we are seeing them now. I end here!

  16. Being a Ndola resident I am touched by the gesture from Govt.Since the president had already been scheduled to be on the copperbelt I believe any responsible national leader could have done the same.At times such as these let us put our political affiliations aside and stand shoulder to shoulder to mourn our dearly departed brothers and sisters.Anyone who loves this country and its people should show compasion and sympathy for others. May the souls of our departed comrades rest in peasce.

  17. 16 Umwina Nkana says- No he is allowed to act normal, but he must take note that his Shikapwasha has banned others from KAMPENING

  19. he he he…so he can cry for the zambians, thot he was too busy making money and travelling and connecting his sons. cutting deals at statehouse…? but like my fellow bloggers have said, these are crocodile tears for votes. no sympathy votes from the copperbelt bwana. you should have cried for the thousands dying in hospitals for lack of medicines and shortages of manpower in these white elepgants you call hospital. and indeed shed tears for the police shooting victims or at least go compensate them. more tears will be shed this year bwana alabi.

  20. Firstly,my condolences to the bereaved families,Secondly, this is poor journalism,where is the picture of him weeping so that people can see how fake their presido is.How many Zambian lives have we lost at the hands of his brutal police? has he ever shed a tear or at least accepted responsibility?This is true evil,turning a funeral into a campaign drama is gross rhupia pls.This desperation should have limits otherwise next time,you will be heard dancing at a10 year old birthday party just for votes,it wont be something serious like malilo.what a shame of a president we have been cursed with.

  21. @ Smith????? ba Webby we know who you are,if have nothing to say pls shut up because if we the PF are dogs then you are our shit.

  22. @millar bj so for me to express my condolences for this tragic event makes me a fool.Enough has already been said about the issues you are refering to.Lets learn to look at issues in their right context.Not all of us are political party carders Mr “Wise Guy”.

  23. I know why he didnt cry for victims shot by police in mongu,mazabuka and mansa. Its because he sanctioned(as commandor-in-chief) these killings and therefore cudnt cry. But these ndola deaths are accidentally caused

  24. If you still dobut how low the calibre of PF supporters is just read their blogs here. You will be amazed that we can leave the choice of the Zambian President to such muppets. Luckily the sensible Zambians out number them.

    • Sorry blogger, always remember, ceteris paribus, we were all going to go through the ladders of education but systems that are not applied equally have made other look fools. Thank God for who you are today because someone stood for you at the time you were not able to plan for your self or at least plan for yourself. To others that’s hearse. politicians are to blame for such kind of people. maybe that’s why they want to vote for a kind of a leader who will speak their plight. Bad government plans have made them like that, actually you should feel ashamed about this whole thing. Always remember this, robbers, murderers, etc are not born like that they are made to be like that. Your negligent father Rubbish Bin has made his children like that.Stop using your weakness as a plus please!

  25. We need to give respect where it is due. RB is human and can also be taken by emotions at the sight of 13 children lying in coffins. Thank you Mr President for the moral and financial support. A slave is only remembered when he is gone….. 

  26. today is a good day, I thought I’d be low the whole day but alas! here comes LT with funny stories

  27. #25 you are really an *****.Why being so petty and tribalistic. People were killed in Mongu,Mazabuka and recently Mansa did your so called crap head RB ever shed any tear? Bane we all support different political groupings but not on tribal basis but on conviction and desire fro a better zambia. In all fairness much as we feel for the loss of the lives of people in Ndola we should also think about those who were murdered by trigger happy cops in other parts of the country. I will vote for whoever I want but it wont be RB

  28. Whether he cried from his heart or not is his business, remember people lost lives and lets not play jokes please. It was a terrible death just like those in Mansa, Mongu and Mazabuka.
    May their souls rest in Peace. Let us also look at most of these school buses they also overload our children. The LAW is not clear how many people and age groups for loading.

  29. Kwena pamo ngo mufyashi cilakalipa ukasanga abana balefwa kwati masuku because of the negligence of the driver.Nabamudala pakulila filya kwena cifwile nacibakalipa sana.Lelo bafwile balolesha napali balya bafwile ku mongu,mansa,mazabuka nabobantu

  30. TO lose lives like this due to lawlessnes is un acceptable to further use the funerals of those affected by the accident is tantamount to lack of compassion, how ever genuine compassion is priceless I hope Mr. president is not taking advantage of the situation to try and boost his shattered reputation.

  31. PF supporters, calm down. It is every president’s duty to attend to tragic events like this one. Obama does the same when tragedy hits in America. What did you want the man to do? Not show any sympathy. Sata would have done the same (perhaps not shed a tear), but he too would have been applauded by all who have any sense.

  32. Ba pf nabo. awe mwe. Was at thier rally in kasama over the weekened and sata said he’s going to wipe out Aids in 90 days.

    • But you should not have taken that literaly.He must have been saying riding Zed of poverty,unemployment,alcohol abuse and all those acts that increase people’s vulnearbility to issues such as AIDS would significantly address the current challenges.Linguistics my dear-seeing is not believing!!!

  33. Besides drunkeness and overloading, RB forgot to tell us that the govt has also greatly contributed to accidents by not repairing and mending roads. Our roads are death traps and accidents are heppening everyday because of the same. Every single death is a tragedy, especially those that can be avoided.

  34. People look at the rescuing machinery we have as a country. They comprise of Volunteer swimmers and onshore musclemen to do the tag of war kind of a thing. I am sure the driver will talk about the road and its potholes. shame on the president of such a country. Please you people supporting MMD are you seeing what we are seeing on the picture. A real staff. The Fire brigade department does not have any equipment to combat such kind of emergencies. Poor kamwendo munjila unomwaka kuyabeebele. Crying yes a sense of negligence on part of the government. How do you have such a low bridge without barriers on the sides. That was a time bomber, now you can go and put the barriers, mission accomplished! Viva PF Viva pabwato Don’t kubeba!

  35. This was a sad occassion and RB’s reaction is understandable. Its hard enough to look into a coffin of one young person whose life has been cut short, one can only imagine the courage it takes to view 13 bodies at the same time. It is heartbreaking and whatever his motives for attaneding the funerals, I can only acknowledge his good deed. At the end of the day, that is what “ubuntu” is all about.

  36. No 25 smith you are very stupid who told that all bembas are Pf mind you dirt mouth abd if you have nothing to say zip it

  37. Lead by example RB God will richly bless you. No news from PF leadership in PF controlled constituency. People are watching this marks the end of Satan.
    Condolences to the families of accident victims. 

  38. Mr President RB, we always weep when ever we jump on a bus from Monze to Kafue Bridge as the road is very bad. I wish sir something could be done to the deep pot-holes along this road. So many people have lost thier lives after either hiting or trying to avoid these deep pot-holes. Kindly instruct Road Dvelopment Agency (RDA) to give a contract to a reputable company to work on the Monze Kafue Road. We deeply share the loss of lives in Ndola just as lives of women, children and men who died at Mazabuka Shoprite. Please do something!

  39. PF Kaponyas always amuse me. They are failing short of saying that they are the ones who may have caused the death of Mongu and possibly Mansa rioters. As for Mazabuka, we all feel sorry and this was due to a negligent police officer. Our beloved presido can feel sympathy with the mouners on the 13 departed coleagues who had gone for a mission of Christ. Your Father Bwalya abandoned Christ and that is what you PF Kaponyas want. Yes! we will see who is who as elections are approaching. RB, we will vote for you and it is not the first time you have cried. I do remember it was the same when we lost our beloved Presido LPM (MHSRIP) and this is a sign of true love.

    • Let him dissolve parlaiment and announce the Election date so that we see who is who? Remember its 90 days before the election, cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!

  40. IF ZAMBIANS MAKES A MISTAKE AND VOTE FOR PEOPLE THE LIKES OF THESE B LOGGERS INTO GOVT, YOU WILL HAVE A A COUNTRY THAT WILL NEVER RECOVER. I DO NOT SUPOT ANY OF OUR CURRENT CROP OF POLITICIANS, BUT VOTING FOR PF KAPONYAS INTO GOVT, ZAMBIA WILL BE SODOM NA GOMOLA. WATCH MY WORDS :o

    • Sir if the kaponyas outnumber you the technocrats then they deserve to vote for a fellow kaponya. In fact who made them kaponyas is not the so called government with no vision favouring foreigners to its nationals. In your meaning the majority of Zambians are kaponyas thus, it suffices to say you are in a wrong country. Go somewhere else where the government have educated all its people to the level were everyone articulates national issues with knowledge and understanding. As for the Zambian people we are who we are because of selfish politicians like RB and the gang. Have a hearth for people and a sense of responsibility for the wrong society you have. All Zambians deserve to be educated and the so called leaders are busy pointing fingers at unlearned fellers forgetting they are to blame

  41. My heartfelt condolences to the families of the bereaved families in Ndola! It is poverty that leads to desperate measures which cost lives at times. These kids were coming from a church trip and the transportation organised for them was inadquate hence they all piled up in this bus. May the souls of the dearly departed rest in eternal peace! Now to # 36 Puchukwe, which sensible numbers on this blog out number us who are saying Rubbish Bins’ tears are crocodile.You are a schumuck! It is common knowledge that this president never mourned the dead in Mongu, Mazabuka and Mansa respectively! You want me to define Rubbish Bins’ tears? They are HYPOCRISY TEARS! NO more no less! Call me Kaponya!

  42. sad news indeed.to my father RB wat r u talking about da?overloadin isnt the issue here.its the roads which are so terrible n needs to be rehabilitated.too much corruption even wen getting a driving license even if a person knows nothing.let me tell u my dad here in russia a bus which is suppose to carry 10 pipo it carries 50 pipo.all drivers are expeiencd.u il never here an accident.

  43. Hahahahahah this is childish Mr. President RBish, a stage managed simphathy, anyway it’s an elecion year what do u expect ” it’s sebana wikute” style. Honestly elders don’t cry on funerals more so wen you are not related to the deceased

  44. #13, 54 I hate it when people use all capital letters when typing. I always feel attacked, even when the person is on my side of things. It makes me think they didn’t really read the article or hub and they are just shouting their opinion,common courtesy dictates that we not use all caps. when writing. Not only is it rude and difficult to read, not only do we feel that we are being attacked or even insulted, but it also is simply uncouth, in the same way that chewing food with one’s mouth open is uncouth. A lot of people dont even bother, Imagine reading an email all in caps, it rings the bell of dullness on the other end? Can someone please agree with me here? Thanks

  45. @Mushota awaz on the wrong side of the story, sometimes i wonder if is a sentient being, i find it annoying when people start insulting people who have started appreciating technology. To make matters worse u want pipo to second u.

  46. In African society real men don’t cry because crying means you have been defeated by the problem. you cant solve it so you just cry for help from those who can hear you In this case Kanitundila was crying because departure from State House is imminent..saying “the three years have not been enough. May I be given another chance so that I can come back and preside over so many such funerals again? “

  47. Withdraw the licence for flush bus operator then we ll know your crying was serious. These rotten death traps are a disaster in waiting, wonder why bloggers cant talk or warn govt abt this.

  48. You PF cadres are heartless. How can someone genuine not shed tears at such a tragedy? If Sata was to go there today, wouldn’t he also shed tears? Emotions do grip people and when you see others gripped by emotions of severe loss, how do you feel? I have found myself weeping in foreign countries over victims I have never seen, but the sombre mood and the emotions of people around you also grips you. Mulekwatako amano you blind followers of a Poorly Furnished (PF) kantemba masquarading as a political party. Watch it. Every disgruntled politician runs to the kantemba called PF. When the snake which constructed that kantemba wakes up, you will all be swallowed and declared homeless. PF is nothing but Sata’s kantemba after failing to make MMD his kantemba in 2001.

  49. Corruption at the Police Traffic department and Ministry of Transport for Fitness certificates is costing lives in Zambia. There are thousands of unfit motor vehicles on Zambia’s roads that are causing this carnage. Biggie Nkumbula, inspite of being so well off, died in a faulty Merc. Some vehicles that should be written off after accidents and welded back by Panel beaters without regard to safety. Perhaps the government should engage people like Prof Chirwa to help in drawing up road safety regulations. For the good of the country, Prof Chirwa get out of partisan politics and serve your country!

  50. Our student body, staff and professors have always advocated tough laws on the roads. No overloading, seat belts to be used, speed limits to be adhered to, roads to be mended quickly and grass by the roads to be cut for clear driving view. Thanks Mr President for crying. Zambians have cried enough. It is time for action. Take tough measures to reduce the wreckless driving on our roads. Remove cars and buses which are not road worthy from the roads. Punish caress drivers and business owners, pastors and everyone who will disobey the new road rules

    • Totally agree with you.Where am staying,kumangalande,vehicles are road worthy,I mean road worthy.I have never seen a smoking vehicle.Not 1.Then respect for all road users.Excellent.Very orderly.Traffic flow excellent.Drunk driving?Not here.They would take only 2 glasses of beer.So disciplined.Man one would think heaven is on earth!!!They are good

  51. Feel sorry to the children that died and their families.They would have been here with us if only the government had put stringent measures to scrutinze all drivers and conductors alike. They should have been breathing if the roads were good condition and if Customs was not so kurupt as to let in a rotten vehicle. You are not crying because the children have left us but because the acccident actually reduced your chances of continuing in power. I’m sure you’ll blame the dead when you lose this year.

  52. Come on this is 21 century this needs to stop. A law must passed in Zambia if it is not already in place that buses should never under any circumstances be over crowded. It must become a punishable offence to overcrowd in Zambia. Laws are there to protect people. Drivers and conductors responsible should be punishable, passengers agreeing to be overcrowded should be fined when caught on the spot. Bus owners/companies should be fined heavily.It is sad young lives were lost like that. This will help save lives, reduce spread of diseases. It is really a breach of human rights to overcrowd in buses. Give incentives to people for reporting overcrowding buses and it is do so so because have cell phones with cameras. Think you can, or think you can’t either way, you are right.

  53. Opps, ba RB. I THOUGHT THERE WAS SOME BRAINS IN THAT HEAD, NOW I KNOW IT IS COMPLETEELY EMPTY. RB ZWAA…THIS YEAR.

  54. #55. Mundia
    Puchukwe is talking about sensible Zambians out numbering the low calibre PF followers which are represented by PF bloggers on this thread. In other words he is saying that MMD will still beat PF as all sane people will vote for MMD’s RB. Remember even some UPND supporters while they will vote for their MPs they will vote for RB as president. Dont Kubeba being nullified by ‘vote to injure’ the same way the Post propaganda has been nullified by Chanda Chimba III.

  55. So RB cries and it is big news? RB should count himself luck that at his age his tears can still flow. We the downtrodden people of Shangombo the poorest and isolated district of the poorest province in Zambia have been crying 4 so long that we have run out of tears. Tears are a luxury to us! I am quite sure that RB was crying due to the mounting problems he is facing. What a stu/p.id old man. He has missused his inheritance from Levy. Was it really so difficulty for this buffoon to be humble and honest. What a worst! 75 years on this earth and the id.iot has learnt nothing!

  56. Zambia has no institution to regulate public transport system. Some of the accidents in Zambia could easily be prevented if we had competent. Just last week the head of police in Zambia banned roadblocks, the accident happens the the head of state is instructing police to be strict on roadblocks.This shows that government lacks institutional quality.

  57. #77 Nubian Princess takes after your mother. She must have been a a HULE to give birth a vile mouthed i,d,i,o,t like yourself.

  58. I am amazed at the uselesness of some of the comments on this serious issue. I actually seek God`s kind intervention to forgive and deliver you. I seem not to understand how even the most *****ic, cynical and s.tupid of people can condemn our beloved predident`s mourning on the loss of precious lives. I think let people be a little more mature, please let’s be mature. God please forgive these I.d.I.o.t.s

  59. I tried to make sense of what you just wrote # 1. You muppet. I am mourning the loss of my brother and all you can think of are these looney tunes? 

  60. He is practising how he will cry after elections. Those crocodile tears were just for campaigns. Zambians are dying in hospitals everyday! Zambians were shot at by the Chinese, Zambians were killed by the police in Mongu, Mazubuka and Mansa, did he cry! The last time Kafupi cried we were all deceived. Although he was far much more cunning than lupiya we defeated him and he shifted to morning side clinic.
    We will enjoy the improved road network but we know what to do: Its DON’T KUBEBA!

  61. Don’t cry RB, at least your hearses are working! You preferred buying hearses instead of rehabilitating the roads. You had foresight, I guess.

  62. #83, the bus was overloaded so was it the fault of the bus or the humans? malibu yakuilombela nayayene. Problem pa zed we dont want to follow the law until it visits us. why not just book 2 buses which would have carried 23 people at most since the number we were told is 45 and the bus was a 26 seater.

  63. May the souls of our beloved departed rest in eternal peace. Who cares why and how RB cried? God from above is seing. You will reap what you sow. When I read the news I dropped tears. May the good Lord comfort the families of the departed. Who told you men shouldnt cry? Our Lord wept at the death of Lazarous. The bible says mourn with those who are mourning. We dont care why RB mourned. God is watching over Zambia and He will give us a leader. 2011, lets vote wisely and prayerfully. God bless Zambia.

  64. My condolences.As you exit Luanshya tale gate the police,traffic officers are there,at luanshya turn off there is a police check point,when you enter Ndola there are both traffic officers and police, you mean all these officers did not see that the bus was over loaded or they where corrupt.these are the questions one should have asked.that accident was avoidable.And the church is to blame because before undertaking the trip they should have looked at their financial position and if they had less money the youth should have contributed so that they book two buses or a bigger one.

  65. Its plaesing that the President attended the funeral of 13 RTA victims in Ndola. What else do you expect from a leader. His instruction to ZP & RTSA to bring sanity to our roads will not bear any immediate results. Its long term strategy. The Govt should start with schools and colleges and places of work, the community. In short road safety should be tackled with vigour the way HIV/AIDS has been handled or else we will keep on losing lives on our roads. The directive will just make the law enforcers more corrupt. Road Safety should be a responsibility for everyone in Zambia. Sometimes passengers are to blame they squeez themselves even knowing that the bus or vehicle is overloaded. The Police shouldcharge the church leaders who orgnised the trip coz they were trying to save some cash.

  66. weep RB all you can. It won’t help the course you want, another term in office. Forget, these are ways of the evil King Chiluba.

  67. the only reason RB is crying is that hes worried about the coming year after the elections….

  68. Problem ba RB balasekesha nabelelosha. What was the man crying about. Abafwa from the shootings ubwingi. Kwena campegn washupa. Viva Opposition.

  69. It beats me how you can compare those innocent deaths in Ndola to those of law breakers hwo were rioting and confronting the police! What about the innocent victims who were torched in Mansa and their properties looted? Anywhere in the world, those who confront the police get shot, that’s why the police are allowed to carry guns, in case you did not know!

  70. #68 If you find yourself crying over people you dont know check yourself properly. You are suffering from a mental disorder. The born agains prefer to call it “possessed” but you can be treated. Hurry Up see a shrink. Im not joking.

  71. Why cry of Balozi shooting??? After all, Lozi are not humans. They are a batch of useless characters.

  72. Viva people’s Pact!! Forward with Panji………..!!! This coming saturday, People’s Pact Forum to be held at ba auntie bana Tonga’s place. Starting time 13:00hrs. Please try to be panctual as usual!! Donci kubeeba ba mumbwee……………………!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  73. Ala ni donci kubeeba………….!!! Viva Pact Forum…………!!! Wina azalila………..!!!

  74. Wina azalila!! Ala ni donci kubeebaa………….!!! Viva Pact…………..!!! Sata for Presido….!!!

  75. All of you; Numbers 1 to 110 are pathetic to say the least. No one has said anything contructive here. Lack of ideas as usual. Banda in his condemnation has not gone far enough! He has failed to pick out the most crucial problems; grafty cops, relaxed traffic laws and poor criteria of selecting PSV drivers. There is no record whatsoever of the history of PSV drivers. He will cause an accident in one company and move on to another company. “Ati aah Bamudala twalishiba ukwensha” Kiss my A*****!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Lastly there is the sad Zambian Philosophy: “Ni Accident Bamudala; nomba nga na cicita shani?” Blinking , leaking A***
    It is not campaigning, neither is it crocodile tears, it is dullness, lack of ideas and a non-caring attitude.

  76. Its like you learn my thoughts! You seem to grasp a lot approximately this, like you wrote the e book in it or something.
