FORMER President Frederick Chiluba has called on Copperbelt residents to vote for President Banda in this year’s tripartite elections for continued development.
Dr Chiluba said President Banda deserves a fresh five-year mandate so that he can continue developing all parts of the country.
“President Banda has demonstrated good leadership in the short period he has been in office. This is why it is important for Zambians and the Copperbelt in particular to rally behind him. RB has a good pace in which all of us should follow,” he said.
Dr Chiluba was speaking during the funeral service of Zambia national soccer team player Willie Phiri at United Church of Zambia St Marks congregation in Chingola yesterday.
The former President paid tribute to President Banda for his commitment to national development.
Dr Chiluba said President Banda has managed to distribute development equally and deserves another term in office.
He also called on mining firms to improve conditions of service for workers in the wake of the increasing copper prices on the international market.
“With healthy copper prices, a lot can be done by mine owners to improve the lives of their workers,” he said.
Dr Chiluba said the Copperbelt is an important province which influences the country’s political and economic direction.
He said this is the reason why the people of the Copperbelt should rally behind President Banda’s candidature to help him win the elections.
“President Banda has worked very hard. He is a hard worker who needs the support of every Zambian. He has taken evelopment to every part of this country. We are witnessing massive development in Zambia and Copperbelt residents must support President Banda because he is a visionary leader,” Dr Chiluba said.

Ka shorty honestly Na Pa chililo ! I guess wina aza lila if MMd loses . This is desperation at its best. You should have been paying tribute to Willie MHSRIP !!
FTJ ulibe nsoni iwe. How can you campaign pachililo. Your days are numbered mambala. You will surely go in to pay for your sins and stealing for Zambia. What did you do to help the late Willie? Nothing
Kafupi naiwe go back to morning side for heart check up because when PF forms government you won’t have a chance. You are practising politics of the belly. You are not different from Lifwekelo and Chifire!
Ka Titus, did he say anything about Willie Phiri and football? Or does he expect the resting souls to continue electing for MMD’s Ruphia Chiluba? Mwanawasa is exhasted now they start going after footballers… Let them REST IN PEACE !!
Na safari suit wa kopela ba KK! Ulibe na manyazi pamilo iwe ka FTJ. Please use the right fora at the right place and the right time. ….. “King James Bible says……”I
returned, and saw under the sun, that the race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.”. Ecclesiastes 9:11
Willie Phiri MHSRIP
I think RB must be very dumb. How on earth can you ask a disgraced human being to campaign for you. This man doesnt know how to play chess.
Does this diminutive creature of Ituri Forest really know any levels of gu.t.le.ssness?
Mad an sick! It? not a place to bring up politricks.
Short and stupid……. thats what this ***** is……. why not retire like any other former president ……. anyandule
Same oldies clinging on to politics…give chance to young ones also to ascend..
Chiluba has demonstrated to the nation that he is an opportunist. The only message he had for the mourners and Willie Phiri family was to insist on them to vote for his fellow thief Rupiah. He could not show sympathy to the bereaved family. What a consultant or is it insultatnt!!
WHAT KIND OF LOW MORALS PERSON TALKS ABOUT POLITICS A TA FUNERAL?
THIS GUY MAKES ZAMBIANS LOOK LIKE LIFE IS ALL ABOUT POLITICS AND NOBODY HAS A HEART ANYMORE……ITS ABOUT ME(THE FAILED POLITICIAN) AND NOBODY ELSE IS WORTH WORRYING ABOUT.
LOCK THIS MAGGOT UP SOON AS HE CAN’T HELP HIMSELF SEARCHING FOR ADMIRATION AND FAME….HE HAS NOTHING ELSE GOING FOR HIM.
Chiluba chikala very stupid. wanya.
# 6,
Is Sata dumb to have been dancing for FJT at the Airport to and from SA for 17 years until 2007?
Are implying Sata is dumb for having championed for FJT to go for the 3rd term?
You mean Sata is dumb for asking FJT to campaign for him in 2006 on the same Copperbelt including the same Chingola?
#14. Yes probably they both are dumb.
#14 that was before sata new that ka shot muggot was thief, thiefer, thiefest
MULITOLE SANA BA BEMBA TRIBALIST JUST AS KA CHILUBA.
Napaa Chililo, nafikosa mdala!!!!
# 3 UBUWELEWELE MUCHALO! ,
Its time to find a Bemba leader not this mobile coffin you are shoving senselessly. Its checking out this year come what may. I have indisputable evidence that its suffering inyermittent heart shocks these days. A finalizing heart attack is on the folds.
This man is not normal i think. he couldnt even pay sympathy to the family of the deceased or say anything about the football legend, the great willie phiri and what he accomplished nad how that we will miss this dear gallant son of the soil….? shameless man
MMD has no agenda or policy on the socio-economic welfare of the mining belts including the miners who it only considers as labourers. Just look at all the mining towns, can anyone believe these are places where minerals worth billions of dollars are mined? The miners and their families are only paid wages to last for ten days monthly while the corrupt MMD are given kickbacks whilst the resources are continously depleted. Surely why should a genuine brothers and sisters (miners with their families) even for a minute think of voting for these MMD blood suckers. When a miner retires, he straight away goes in depression, they are the modern slaves today and its only them who can liberate themselves for this holocost. I was born on the mines and every town back then gave us hope to work hard
ba chiluba , There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.
16 ### You must be from southern province . You cant hide in bemba tribe. Please contribute your comment according to the story. What do you benefite frm your tribe men? Bembas are free Zambian and free to form a political party just like UPND with its Provincial Preso HH
What RB needs & has already reaped is a stint in CHIMBOKAELA, for abuse of the constitution, if he thinks this is a joke, let him carry on, HOWEVER we will see to it that he is brought to justice, never mind the financial scandals, MESSING WITH THE CONSTITUTION is simply another ball game. If he thinks CJ will protect him, really unless CJ has buried his head in the sand, they both could end up as cell mates or neighbours.
Number 16-Bemba Tribalist UPP Dream Revised through PF:tawakwata amano!!!!!!!……mwalisha amano mukunya! please stop going to the toilet coz the more you go the more you lose your brains!
iwe ka heftyj, there is no imperative on the mining firms to improve the lives of their workers, IT IS DOWN TO GOVT OF THE DAY TO PURSUE POLICIES THAT WILL SEE THE GROWTH of the ECONOMICAL & SOCIAL STATUS OF ITS CITIZENS, but only IF IT HAS THE BALLS TO CARRY OUT ITS DUE DILIGENCE ON BEHALF OF ITS CITIZENS, which in short, IS NOT SELLING OUT OUR COUNTRY, we mpupu we!!!
CHILUBA FROM CONGO CAMPAIGNING FOR RUPIA FROM MALAWI, THESE THIEVES HAVE REALLY TAKEN ZAMBIANS FOR GRANTED. TIME TO SORT THEM OUT I THINK. DICKSON JERE IS ALSO FROM MALAWI SOME ONE SHOULD CHECK HIS PROFILE PROPERLY, WE ARE NOW GETTING TIRED OF THESE FOREIGNERS RULING US AND STEALING FROM US POOR LEGITIMATE ZAMBIANS.
Sebana wikute at it’s best anyway he has no morals what so ever>
# 14. lol…………
chiluba is a shameless creature,he can’t just believe that is time as gone because of what he used to do backdoors is mind is not free.if there is a person who is dicampaigning the MMD is chiluba himself.what good can come out of chiluba? let me call upon all youths in this country to vote for PF viva PF. our motto as youths is LETS CHANGE FOR THE BETTER under PF GOVERNMENT
How does Winter say this now?
All this time and now he realises that PF needs UPND to win the election. Its kind of too late dont you think? PF is run by dull people who could not see that without an alliance, they are wasting their time. They might as well boycot the election and start preparing for 2011.
I hope the PF cadres on this blog will not day dreaming and start using their intelligience to see that RB is getting his 2nd term. Even Wynter Kabimba knows this because he has felt it on the ground. Stop telling lies and start listening to the truth.
:((:((:((:((:((:((:((:((:((
Wrong message at a wrong occasion. We were burying a Zambian soccer icon and it was not the right place to talk about politics. Chiluba clearly knows that the CB is a PF stronghold.
But ili li tole Zo ona. Mushino wakako
Kafupi is very clever.. he knows RB is his backbone at present and for his future and existence, hence this restlessness. dont’ forget he is still on govt’s payroll… somehow… indirectly…
chiluba is full of sheet…does he even hav a conscience sure to start politricking pa malilo chi-colour uyu?no politricking pamalilo
Yeah, FTJ has a democratic right to support anyone. Goodluck man
Shut up people! Let Chiluba do what he does its a democratic country. This man is a Dr. Those allegations in court have proved incocusiv, you are busy with your drivel condemning the man. ANy funeral, there are jokes people play music what is wrong in asking people to vote for the MMD. I bet the people there were expecting that and only right he commented. The man is half what you will ever be, you are nothing like him, respect himand show respect. Same people you assasinate my character for no apparent reason. If you done respect Chiluba , then I have no respect for you, NEVER and I dont count you as a person. My fiance fiance and I were laugjing like hyenas a few minutes ago, wondering why people dont respect a former head of state. Thanks
go to hell f..k.d p..s.y ……
mushota ninshi we ngeba abantu pali kabwalala chiluba thats why tawalekela usunda pa bed can you call stealing as human rights pushi
Iam sure you have no roots. You are just a THING. Useless B.I.T.CH!!!!!!!!!
You and your fiance were laughing like hyenas because you really are hyenas!
Why do people drink alcohol when they go to a funeral house? Is that a way of mourning?
HERE IS FOOD FOR THOUGHT. By now MMD should realise that for every ONE month’s effort (money+labour) they put in their campaign for Presidential elections, Chiluba destroys it in ONE session of talking, like this classic example. And each time he campaigns MMD’s standing goes back to square one if not minus one. Its not rocket science. Its true Chiluba still has energy and passion to lead a cause of some sort. So, why can’t MMD help point him in that direction like all ex-Presidents do? He has certain ‘qualities’ that can be put to good use. E.g. The vexing problem of workers’ plight and conditions of service as new investors (or is it infestors) set foot in our Country. We will be killing two birds with one stone.
Iwe kawelewele ka Mushota shut up!!,! full of ignorance with that forever fiance… ichooongooo pa blog.. weee katubi iwe…ububi kwati ni ka koswe…
We have made a decision ,campaign at every funeral if u want .KUYA BEBELE.If you rig ,check Algeria,Egypt,Yemen,Libya,Ivory coast so dont ever try………….all is set just dont test us..
#38 Could you restrain from brining my name in desiripute. It’s boring. You call me a rat?. I can make incontinence and abject servitude fascinating! And my previous post was all about titillation, and should not Inolve someone clearly beneath me like you. Admit it–you have a lump in your throat right now! Oh, wait, that’s the cat! Hey everybody! Cutey just coughed up a hairball!
I will leave to shreds, the better you stay away from me the better for you and your peeers. You are busy trolling on me ! You Douche Bag
ba mushombo naimwe ikaleni fye.
CHILUBA AND SATA ARE USELESS. FOR 15 SOLID YRS THEY DESTROYED MMD. 2006, CHILUBA CAMPAIGNED FOR SATA , NO EFFECT, 2011 FOR RUPIA…DONT KNOW. THOT HE SHOULD BE AS LOW IN PROFILE ON CAMPAIGNS AS IS KK. PEOPLE CAMPAIGN ANYWHERE INCLUDING FUNERALS AND SOMETIMES CHURCHES…WHO DOESNT KNO THAT. THERE IS NO ONE TO VOTE FOR IN 2011, ANYONE CAN DO EXCEPT SATA. PF CHOOSE ANOTHER PRESIDO THEN I SUPORT U OTHERWISE RUPIAH MAY LURE ME. WILLIE PHIRI, MYSRIP U DID MOTHER ZAMBIA PROUD.
Yes!!!!! MMD is winning again this year. Sorry, PF will come out third as it has lost a major player in the name of FTJ who helped them to scoop B/Belt, Luapula and part of Northern. Our mighty UPND will bounce back to 2nd position and come 2016, UPND will govern. Thanks FTJ for helping these Kaponyas and you did your best.
This little midget doesn’t know that the more he open his filthy mouth the more he annoys the Zambian people because of the misery he brought upon them through institutionalised theft and stealing. The best the little kafupi should do is to keep quite and enjoy his loot for the last time, before he is taken to where he belongs, Chimbokaila.
Ka # number40, ka Mushota, ichindikefye, bushe ka midget kali pishapo pali ka hole kobe? Sw/ine.
no one has ever proved rigging in zambian elections, not even during the days of mr sata as a minister. if it was true, mr sata would have known and provided evidence of how it is done. i mean not that pf nonsense of chasing a truck carrying lamps all the way from livingstone to lusaka in 2008. however, now we have the most practical example and definition of rigging: attempted theft of people’s votes by the 90 days deception. now THAT IS rigging which every politician and every jim and jack can see with naked eyes and can prove in courts of law without the services of a lawyer.
RB has worked had to ensure that I am acquitted. RB has demostrated good leadershing by embracing corupt people like myself. What are you telling us ba FTJ? Pa chililo kulosha te kukampene iyo!
Kafupi,
To hell with you and your Reginah, this a funeral place not a campaign platform. sorry, your time is coming and you will be jailed wheather you like or not. You are an embarassment to the nation at large.
thank FTJ for knowing us moners have poor conditions of service but didn’t advise RB to intervene when union were fighting for us. Poor strategies this is when you have realise that we have poor conditions of service. Compaign and capmaign and campaign but to assure you as miners we have been for people who will consider us not at the last minutes. kuya bebele bwana
Let people vote for the one they want to lead them, but i cannot vote for Banda he has introduced deep corruption right from the time he came into power; through and through we have seen nothing but corruption. start from Doras case up to the removal of abuse of office what else do we expect of him he wants to protect thieves from justice
Shameless man even at a funeral ma politics…….this is uncalled for desperation
Useless bloggers and haters. I wish all haters and their venom were directed at each one of them and see how they would feel. Is this the Mwanawasa thing? I think LT wanted this reaction!
Donchi kubeba: the slogan will cry. We will see king cobra die of heart attack and may be Chiluba join in morning side. We will be surprised with the election results. Dochi kebeba. Old politcs outta here!
i wud really love to see this mushota.
kafupi take regina back to her husband.The man(husband) is in pain!!
chiluba elengwandila freedom. alezezela mambala
There goes MMD again using dearth for their campaign tool, strategy and platform just like they used late Mwanawasa -m.h.s.r.i.p.. Now using Willie Phiri’s dearth m.h.s.r.i.p. They have no shame to stand on top of someone’s(dead) body to be heard loudest to campaign for RB/MMD.
THIS SHOWS HOW EVIL SOME PIPO CAN BE……
Shameless, corrupt and morally bankrupt Chiluba A.K.A FTJ cannot even give an appropriate funeral eulogy for a great son of this country like Willie Phiri, MHSRIP. Willie did his best by all of us and we would have loved to read about his life, NOT about us voting for Rubbish SHREK so that Ka Chiluba and his henchmen like Sonny Mulenga can continue enjoying plundered wealth. This midget thinks we do not understand that his support of SHREK is for his own expediency! MCS after his 90 days of giving us a people driven constitution and reducing PAYE, will hand you back TO OUR THEN HONOURABLE COURTS! # 40 Mushota, you are a deranged and psychotic sociopath (The criteria for this disorder require an ongoing disregard for the rights of others! Mushota, mushondo obe webo, brainless retard!
Why didnt the Phiri family b.i.t.c.h slap this little koswe? Disrespecting Willie Phiri in this manner. This puppy needs to be bobbited and his harlot of a wife stoned in public.
Bushe ka chee colour aka katuntulu ?
I think short men have a problem!
#35 ka mushota please…………. Shut up!
MUBWEZE MKAZI WAMWINE KA CHILUBA WHY DO U PRETEND 2B A CHRISTIAN WEN U AR NOT,UHULE MUCHRISTU VONVESANSONI.POLITICS PALILO’,KUFUPIKA.
Short people have short brains! Iwe ka Kolwe!
Chiluba does not talk about how RB is fighting corruption. He talks about Development and good leadership. What about good governance and fighting Corruption. Chiluba is full of sheet.
Naimwe nipachimbuye you do not know if he was given an envelope to take to the funeral house.
Kafupi and the Phiri’s knew what they were doing. who can allow their funeral to be used for campaign KILUBA mbuya bakakutuma kuka chita campaign pamalilo uzikana
MMD is sinking even deeper than the ocean flows. Willie Phiri’s funeral becomes a campaign rally? Well since they cannot find people to gather around them and listen to their lies, why not do it to the mourning, grieving and solemn Willie Phiri family.
What Chiluba did is an insult to the that family and the dead Willie Phiri. We know they chased him in Chimwemwe, but this is really careless and utmost foolish to do. That is why this guy will never be happy in his life any more.
what impudence!! A total disregard to the seriousness of the occasion. This is how desperate our politics have become that irrespective of the occasion, for so long as there is a crowd, someone must politic??? I’m deeply embarrassed and so should the “advisors” who allowed that speech to continue for longer than 15 seconds!! Willie Phiri was dedicated to his family, his country and to the beautiful game of football…..what an insult that politics should rear its ugly head at his funeral!! What goes round, comes round……at someones funeral i hope someone will return the disrespectful favour and make a speech about something other than the illustrious life of the deceased.
a thief who supports a thief
A thief is a thief. A thief has no shame. Surely its an insult to the bearevered family for this disgraced former President to turn the funeral house into a campaign centre! The agony is FTJ cannot anymore address any public rally anywhere because he is no longer the man he was when he took over as president in 1991. His only way to manage a crowd is at funerals where people because of the sombre mood cannot disgrace him by booing him! FTJ has just got to keep quite because RB is on his way out!
