The opposition Patriotic Front has accused MMD cadres of plotting an attack on party leader Michael Sata and other senior members if they attend late former President Fredrick Chiluba’s funeral.
PF Lusaka Province chairman Davies Chama says it is surprising that the MMD have politicized Dr. Chiluba’s death.
Mr. Chama has told journalists in Lusaka that the PF leaders will not force themselves to attend the late Second President’s funeral if they are restrained by the ruling MMD.
He says the MMD’s intension of harassing PF leaders clearly shows how deep the violence is embedded in their party structures.
And MMD Lusaka Province task force chairman Chiwele Maimisa has warned PF leaders and Journalists from the Post Newspapers against attending Dr. Chiluba’s funeral.
Mr. Maimisa has told Qfm that the opposition leaders and Post reporters always put the name of Dr. Chiluba in public ridicule when he was alive and that he sees no point for them be found at the funeral house.
He has charged that Post reporters and PF members are not welcome at the late former President’s funeral adding that should they defy this warning, they risk being thrown out by the MMD.
On Saturday, National Revolution Party president Cosmo Mumba was harassed by MMD cadres at Dr. Chiluba’s funeral house in Kabulonga.
Meanwhile a man was last evening saved from being brutalised by the ruling party cadres after he was indentified as one of the opposition PF members.
The man only identified as a Mr. Mulenga is said to be one of the aspiring candidates for the Mandevu constituency on the PF ticket.
MMD provincial chairman for Lusaka William Banda later asked the paramilitary officers to take the victim to safety and advised his party cadres to remain peaceful.
But some cadres vowed not to tolerate any of the Patriotic Front members as well as the Post Newspapers’ Journalists.
QFM
So Ba MMD in one voice you want PF presido to attend the funeral and in another you are planning to beat him up. Mwaba utu color
Sata needs to retire. No one in their mind would want to kill him. Silly excuse.
anyway your name speaks volumes
Mwaba aka colour,waht do you know,if you are enjoying with your relatives then you start to be seeing that all is well,and you start writing rubbish,you nincompoop.
Mwaba aka colour,what do you know,if you are enjoying with your relatives then you start to be seeing that all is well,and you start writing rubbish,you nincompoop.
Ukutemwa ulubuliii………..Teti mwaikalafye umunenu naoo alosheko???????These are cheap politics.Thats a funeral place and everyone cam moun.
Midgy is dead. Period.
SATA CAN ALWAYS VISIT CHILUBAS GRAVE AFTER THE BURIAL AND KEEP PEACE DURING BURIAL TIME
Mafinga you are immoral what has Sata done to warrant insults. Let the man attend Chiluba`s funeral and every one politicising the funeral are all evil you should all repent
#1 How can u say silly excuse when William Banda said it himself that Sata Post reporters will be beaten if they attend FTJ’s funeral.Violence has already started didn’t you listen 2 Radio Phoenix News ?
MMD has gone to D.O.G.s. What do they stand to gain from FTJ’s funeral? Someone explain to me, are they roasting FTJ for Dinner that they don’t want to share his TBone with PF? This is really sad. A time like this should be a ntaional time when all should be allowed to mourn. After all, in Zambian politics, there are no permanent friends nor permanent enemies. The things that binds us as Zambians are bigger and deeper rooted than the petty stuff that divide us like political parties! Grow up MMD and all you that preach violence and hatred. You bring the name of our country in disrepute. I expect RB to take leadership and rebuke these headless thugs that want to set the country on fire. Violence can never be a way of life for anybody. Mourn FTJ with dignity, and show love to all. Thanks.
Well said the Special One The problem is similar to that of Julius Malema’s rants & the ANC. RB won’t say much. How do they expect other political party cadres to mourn with respect & dignity when they can’t control the behaviour of their own MMD cadres at a funeral house.
The rantings from PF are expected. In this period of National mourning a theory has already been floated that Sata has hatched a plan to ferment violence at Chiluba;s funeral. The systems at PF H/Quarters have been placed in 1st gear to provoke a violence in the hope of shifting the phenomenon of violence from PF to a non-violent MMD. It is a case of “UKUFWIKA MALA YA MBUSHI MU-MUKOSHI WA BA MMD when the thief is actually PF. Zambians know fully well that Sata thrives on violence and leaves a trail of violence wherever he goes. The Police must be extra vigilant to ensure peace during this sad period.
DS MALAMA – You are Bastard and an Iliterate!!
You Piece of Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He does not have to attend the funeral. If anything It is the current regime who are ‘campaigning’ by bringing Sata’s name in disrepute. The are uncanny tactics.
If it os not safe to attend, he would be insane to attend. Attending a funeral is way overrated anyway. It shows how backwards the country remains. Yes you pay your respect, I do not know what happens at that funeral house, but people stare at themselves like they have seen ghosts.
Paying the last respect could be done by a representative, and perhaps during the burial, that’s all. The people looking ignorant and desperate are the people mentioning Mr Sata’s name insanely. Grow up!
Anyone advocating for anybody to attend a funeral are mentally backwards and need serious attention. Thanks
some thing close to sanity for once,keep it up you improving
How is your fiance?
HE SHOULD BE ATTACKED FOR HYPOCRICY
Who is a hypocrite here ,you and the MMD, your ridiculous leaders lies to everyone to mourn Chiluba with respect and dignity when in the background William Banda is assembling hooligans to attack people at the funeral house .We differ politically you fool but things like funerals should never be used to settle scores its Un Zambian.May be we should not be surprised considering your President and William Banda are from Malawi may be that’s how they mourn that side,but here in Zambia we mourn differently with piece and dignity no attacking anyone ,even the neighbour who screwed the wife is free to attend the funeral.
WHEN PIPO START BEHAVING LIKE THAT IT SHOW THAT THEIR DRASTIC DOWN FALL IS NEAR,WE ARE NOT SUPRISED Â BY THEIR REACTION,COZ THEY HAV BEEN LIVED LIKE THAT FOR LONG.WE WISH ALL THE BEST AND STRENGTH AS U BARRY THE REMAINS OF YOUR POLITICAL PARTY ICON,CHILUBA.ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE HIM.
Mushota i rarely comments on your contributions but you spot on this one. Some of our people reason think like animals no wonder our AVERAGE I.Q is only superior to that of Aboriginals, something isn’t right upstairs.
Aboriginals do not have a low IQ as you think
#5 CommonMan
William Banda should not be a factor. He is talking bullsh**t. MMD will not be stupid to beat up Sata at the funeral when they know it would backfire on them going into the election. Unless if Chiluba’s family tell Sata not to come. Otherwise Sata is playing silly politics. Better not to turn up and keep quite.
Ba MMD mulemekesha akalilo atase!!!!!!!!! Kwati pali nechililo kanchi kalilo!
All this and RB resolves to keep quiet. RB is a very immature politician and irresponsible president; on his watch, Zambia is on the verge of a civil war. People are angry but scared to say anything right now; this anger keeps brewing and very soon, things will get out of hand and disaster will strike our country. Fellow Zambians, please do not just praise people for the sake of praise even when you see them doing wrong things. IF VIOLENCE BY MMD CONTINUES, THERE WILL BE WAR IN THIS COUNTRY…MARK MY WORDS!
their consultant has perished! they can do all they want but nothing will happen, no more turning back. God has removed the political engineer at the right time. the ground is leveled now.
He is not needed at the funeral. What is he going to do there after insulting Chiluba and plotting to cage him once in office? So what is he going to do at the funeral house/lodge/? To pay respect or pay more insults?
you like most of these same cadres are immature!!! y should you personalize politics??? all what ur talking about is politics and should not be taken personal like all u are doing!! this is a time that everyone good or bad can come together…nonesense with what u are saying!!
Is sata cherishes his soon to end life, ateke ama.ta.ko panshi. He is obsessed with being in the limelight. Ngati ufuna kupwetekewa, ubwele ku malilo.
Here are the two scenerios that best suit the MMD. Scenerio One: Make it difficult for Sata to attend the funeral. Once Sata fails to attend, the cadres, politicians will condemn Sata for being inhuman; refusing to attend the funeral of his former boss. This will (supposedly) make people from the Copperbelt and Luapula very angry with PF. Scenerio Two: If Sata attends, he will be publicly blamed for promoting anarchy at the funeral to the extent he will be humiliated. This will not work for him either. So, what is scenerio three that helps Sata out of this situation?
Scenerio 3, America should take that little body and toss it in the Ocean/Sea, then there wont be anything to worry about. Chiluba was a thief mwebantu,please wake up. Lets hope he will find more things to steal in hell. Donate those suits, shoes and other stuff to under five clinic for babies whose money he stole.
If I had a way, I would be happy to watch the way the brains of political carders function. Its so shocking the things they do. Surely, is there a point in fighting people at Chiluba’s funeral house. Fuc’n a’ss h’ole’s. So painful to co-exist with them as citizens of the same beloved beautiful country.
only uncivilised pipo will act the way ba MMD cadres Are behaving.. bafikala nimfwa iyi we are a christian nation
#15 What insults did Sata spew at Chiluba? For wanting to bring him to justice after plunder? How is your reasoning my friend? Do you follow reason in your judgment or you just spew whatever comes to mind? Pure caderism! Stop and think!
Sata always says things to politicise a game plan. If he really wants to go the funeral, he can go. We know Sata has asked RB to take him to South Africa for treatment asap. This time RB has said NO.
The last time RB helped Sata’s wife, to fly her for treatment he played politics and disrespected RB in his letter. Could it be that he is scared to die like Chanda Chimba III has said that the man is too ill to the President
Now Sata is ill and he is crying to RB for help and has gotten ignored. I guess his words are eating him. He needs to hang on so that he can loose the elections clean and square.
Besides, we need him for his occasional offline & comical drama
Independent Observer! you must be a very qualified stupitttt *****tt! you will die before Sata….. Sata has a right to go to SA on gvt bill not because he is opposition leader but because he is a zambian citizen and it is the responsibility of RB and his gvt to provide medical care for all its citizens under which Chiluba and Sata falls. so ulekwata amano u are very dull… study the international bill of human rights you will find that. not ifyo ulelanda your observation is off-centered try to align your reasoning mwana.
Zedians we are one lets avoid violence. Plis Basata avoid these pipo,u insulted this man alot during his life its beta u stay away .
Who would want to kill Sata when the man is a walking corpse.
how times change! the MMD abardoned Dr Chiluba and only SATA remained his true friend during those tryin moments. SATA and PF showed compassion towards ftj now they are ones being barred from the funeral by tujilijili drunkards like mwaimisa[-(
kwati pali nakalilo..
RUTH dats a good observation bt unfortunately he should just go n see wat happenz
ONLY those who had genuine sympathy and love for the man need go to the funeral for FTJ-C. This is the same principle upon which the Jehovah’s witnesses base their arguments when they tell people NOT to take flowers to the burial site if they never gave flowers to the deseased while alive. It sure makes alot of sense — so why try to pretend?
Its common knowledge by that Sata, his PF and the PEST newspaper do not fall in this category.
The same MMD did not threaten Sata during Levy’s funeral, yet Levy died as an incumbent head of state (and was thus a more serious situation for both the MMD as a party and the country Zambia) than the death of a former head of state.
#20 Is it not the Government’s responsibility to provide health care for the citizens? You talk as though RB gets money out of his own pockets to send people outside the country for treatment. We are the tax payers who bear all these costs. Why open your mouth when you have nothing to say?
#7 DS Malama. Baba DS-we are not kids to fool around-your Ka Malawian small banda openly declared total war against Sata/PF should they attend-have you forgotten so soon, I do not blame you because you MMD cadres and your leaders tell too many lies that you keep contradicting yourselves. You are indeed shameless-this is just a political gimmick for you to win Luapula votes, but I can assure you it won’t work.
Fellow country men and women,Chiluba was in active politics his last meeting unfortunately hours before his death was a political meeting so straight thinking Zambians the late was in a boxing ring.He was punching at the opposition and they used to defend themselves..come on..
So attending the furneral or not,story is the same he is dead and was known as LAZO,WIFE SNACHER period.And tha chap Chalwe is he not serving his sentence? is still threatening the innocent,can we be allowed we sort him out.
#20 How true is that President Sata is ‘ too ill’ , do we have any independent source of information?
You drama king who cares if you dont show up,do yourself a favor rather than going to perform at the funeral.by the way who is even interested to see your ambi burned face.
Ba PF, don’t you think you would have done the same, if not even worse, had Chiluba died while Mwanawasa was President and FTJ was still your member? Remember those days when you used to line-up at the Airport whenever he returned from SA for medical check-ups together with your Cobra. The Cobra at one time even said Chiluba’s blood would be on Levy’s head if he died as a result of the prosecution. It is then that he challenged the pipo of Luapula and Northern Provinces to free their son FTJ by voting out MMD and Levy. Today you want to play innocence. I think you deserve this treatment. You called Chiluba everything after he turned his back on your ka tribal and makeshift (borne out of 2001 frustration) party.
The reason why we always have “DOT COM” political analysist being more patriotic than the Patrotic Front and not those based in Zed is because the primary source of news they have in that from online blogs and not necessarily from ground based pragmatic research.
Truth is that in 2011 elections, even in provinces where MMD does not get the highest votes, they will come second (often with a small margin). And they will be the only political party to take either the first or second position. When this is compounded they will once again come first, ATLEAST, for the republican presidency. With the current scenario where the oposition is divided, this favors MMD. Had the “PACT” between UPND and PF worked, then sure MMD would have been in big trouble in 2011 elections.
William Banda chipuba zo ona how do u bar pipo from attending a funeral honestly? Marubbish yamuntu
when news broke in the international media about the passing on of Dr Chiluba; his handling of the sell of 250 companies was highlighted.However, i wish to advise that he cannot be blamed for the messy. its anda 5 HH, who sold those companies,pocketed the money which he uses for feting zambians with cows at his rallies. HH THREW OUR PEOPLE TO THEIR EARLY GRAVES as a result of his reckless sale of those companies.
william Banda is there so when they dont come is better to obey because mmd are above the law even thepolice wil be watching killing a person
Twapapata PF leaders if the situation is not allowing,don’t risk taking the next republican president there they may maim him in the name of furneral..Those chaps are bitter no more dribbling and time is clssing up with them.Pantu ba vobola na pa fililo,so apo nomba pangeniko isha last,but tuleisa micita audit bubi bubi careful,napafililo mule pingila abanenu kwati balaisa muku fola kwati imwe mwe mpaka mwe….UBUWELEWELE…Too bad the man has died with a very bad targ…LAZO.
7# I can conform to you that SATA chilfya Michael is not feeling well…!! Remember when he had a rally in kabwe,, on saturday,,just after HH’s rally on Friday,,,he was exepected to attend a function in Namwala for chief Nalubamba. He told his PF officials that he is not feeling well. When Clinton was in zambia still, he was not well and that prompted her to advise him for alliance for gang oppositions to un seat the government not single handedly. The problem Sir is,, PF are using SATA’s popularity to continue campaigning even though there is no sata seen. When the rally for 1 MP to join them in western province,,, as we all know sata’s behaviour, he would have gone there but,,, he was still not feeling well sir,,all these chiluba issue is not true..!!!! SATA is unwell as of now..!
# 27, there is good reason to believe that Mr. Sata has not been well for sometime and frequently visits some clinic (I can get you the correct name next week when I get back to Lusaka). What is not certain, however, is how serious his condition really is along. Knowing Zambian politicians, they will not admit that the man is ill until his point of death.
(1) We saw this kind of political behaviour with t Mazoka, who’s UPND was adamant that the man was not well. Here MAZOKA = UPND and UPND = MAZOKA.
(2) Levy’s death was associated with the same kind of mentality, with MMD refusing to admit that the man was dead/dying. Here MMD = LEVY and LEVY = MMD.
Zambian politicians have a monotonic kind of thinking: They will not accept that Sata is unwell. PF=SATA and SATA = PF.
shake my hand boyi, its 20HH, we cant have walking corpses dying on us from same ailments and now people want to come to zambia to see what we look like!
The MMD was founded on sound principles by principled men and women with the support of the vast majority of Zambians who were thirsty for a decent government but unfortunately with the passage of time UNIP elements have devilishly taken over. It’s only in Zambia where foreign criminals and retards like William Banda are let to terrorise the locals with impunity. Is it because Zambians are too docile or what.
Ba Rough Diamond continue dreaming. Your master dribbler has passed on. MCS chaired a meeting today of his party for over 4 hours. So keep dreaming
its like whatever the big man sata does is affecting the mmd,they comment on very move he makes,that means he  is more than a hundred steps ahead of them when it comes to thinking and reasoning.the man is just too wise for them
BY NOT ATTENDING THIS FUNERAL, SATA WILL SAVE FUEL, TEARS, TIME, HIS SHOES WILL LAST LONGER, HE WILL NOT EXPOSE HIS BODY TO NOISE POLLUTION, ………….SO STAY AWAY SIR, WE NEED YOU IN PLOT ONE LATER THIS YEAR ….FORGET ABOUT THESE RIFF RAFFS………BYE BYE POLIO……
Ba MMD mulemekesha amalilo. We will also have our PF funeral soon. UPND did the same when Andy died. They mekeshadi their funeral to MMD. You did a revenge when Mwanawasa died. Now you have forgotten. Ba MMD mulemekesha akalilo atase!!!!!!!!! Kwati pali nechililo kanchi kalilo.
Some Bloggers here are sick in their Heads! Openly supporting the violence of William Banda. Today several people (radio Phoenix reporters and others) who are not even PF members were harrassed at the funeral, and some bloggers continue to bark about PF. Shame bloggers who cannot think, just like William banda. Funny enough, the so called police are just watching all this from a distance!!!!!!!!!
MMD DON’T FORGET WHAT HAPPENED TO UNIP!
I HAVE NEVER SEEN GREEDY AND STINGY PEOPLE AS THE MMD ARE, BARRING OTHERS FROM A STATE FUNERAL. WELL, I SUPPOSE IT IS AN MMD FUNERAL RATHER THAN A STATE FUNERAL. ONE HOPES THE MMD WILL ALL SATISFY THEMSELVES ON FJT’S FUNERAL.
Today 20 June and less than 6 months before 2011 presidential and parliamentary elections. MMD will sure have a hard time trying to secure margority seats in parliament. The requirement of simple majority win on presidential candidates gives RB a big advantage. Now as you know very well, once RB wins he will “buy off” a few valnarable MPs from the opposition to get majority support in government. We know that Levy did it in 2001 — the opposition was bitter about, but it did not stop his governance. This is similar to what goes on in countries which allow for coalition governments (e.g. Israel, India, etc), it is common to have the wining party seeking for support from smaller parties to form government. In Zambia, truth is that the president gives cabinet positions to opposition MPs.
So in a nutshell you are saying PF AND UPND. There’s no way mmd are in power this time round, We want change from corruption, It’s an mmd heritage.
Mr Sata has just attended the funeral dressed in a Burkha with no problem.
The only reason those mmd *****s behave this way is because they are representing there leader.Only Zambians can tolerate foriegners abusing them .
Litinga walifulungana…naseka sana. Chiluba must have reacted badly to the scary news that Luapula was no longer in their control.Â
.
27# MUNTUSIYA
Most people in the Medical Profession know that Sata is ill. His doctors, family members and inner circles are the chaps revealing the information. This info is supposed to be clandestine & concealed, but when people are willing to broadcast his state of health, then one cannot avoid perceiving sound.
That’s why Chanda Chimba III has the arrogance to say it openly, it appears to be in the public domain. Then again Sata has always been the one to ask others to review their illness in the public. Again, what suits Sata is all fine.
Cont…
whether kalilo or icililo,that does not matter.Sata was insulting his execellence the late President,Dr.Chiluba a few days ago,so why attend his funeral.He is not welcome to attend.He is heartless and senseless.Let him hung.Zambians and the people of Luapula now know how Sata hates us.chiluba rest in peace.
Its inhuman and unethical to delight in someone’s illness. So Chanda Chimba III has crossed the line on this one.
However, Sata confidants are leaking the info. Maybe they want him to give up the leadership and allow someone else on the helm. Lately, he has openly admitted to be very tired
The fact is that SATA was more close to Chiluba than William Banda. Who knows they kept on communicating every day but only differed politically. So William Banda don’t pretend when you habour the hatred of being deported.
MAFINGA
MAFINGA ULICIPUBA SANA AND VERY ILLITERATE, so you cant read the statement that its from maimisa MMD lusaka task force chairman? go to skul and punish your ignorance. ba LT naimwe report objectively even if you are mmd cadres, people are been attacked e.g radio phenix repoter,reverand edith matele, mr.mulenga and cosmo mumba but you cant write about these real issues. ka william banda has planning and issuing statement to attack sata but you havent written anything.
Every must be allowed to make peace with the late FTJ if one wishes to do. Even Kaunda once persecuted and imprisoned FTJ. If Kaunda died before FTJ, was FTJ going to be barred from the funeral because he once attempted to deport kaunda to malawi and later on change the constitution to prevent him from standing in elections?
MMD has not reasoned correctly and I wonder why RB or Dora has not come out to condemn the situation as they would have loved SATA to do if they were in his position.
#47 INDEPENDENT OBSERVER – do you think RB should take to south Africa for medical treatment. Or if you were in RB’s shoes, would you allow GRZ to cover the bills.
HEY LADIES, ANY INSIDE INFO ABOUT HOW VERA AND REGINA ARE GETTING ON??? I WANT SOME JUICY GOSSIP… WHAT ARE THEY WEARING.. ARE THEY EYING EACH OTHER… ANY FIGHTS.. YOU KNOW… THAT KIND OF GOSSIP….
MEN, FEEL FREE TO CHIP IN WITH WHATS HAPPENING MU TENT!
#62 – I meant RB taking Sata to South Africa for medical treatment…
Please Ba MMD what you are trying to bring in the country with you William Banda is total war. This is not politics whatb are you going to gain if SAT/Post not attend the funeral? Are you going to bring back Chiluba? Or is it SATA who have killed Chiluba? It is you the same MMD people who have killed him. It was you who have been drugging chiluba into courts. It was not SATA who brought up all the 68 cases you accused chiluba. It was these cases which ruined his health. Don’t forget what you did to him because he started surpoting you in the last minute after destroying his health.
Let pipo mourn chiluba and dont scare pipo. By doing so pipo will not attend Chiluba ‘s funeral they fear that mayb SATA or POST J will attend the funeral the fight will erupt
62# KK
The answer to your two questions is YES. Sata is still human and if he fell very ill GRZ has to jump in and show compassion. They have done this in the past.
However, privileges should cater for the poor as well. That’s why as a nation we all need to work hard to have better hospitals. MMD is taken that course to build new hospital and expand the existing ones in all provinces and bringing in doctors. Plus mobile’s are reaching remote areas. But we still ha
Discipline the ugly thing if it shows up,after all upnd also wired vernon mwaanga at mazoka’s funeral.
Those of you arguing that Sata should attend suppose for example you had a good friend and then suddenly you differ your friend, he insults you and calls your mother a b.i.tch. Then your mother dies the following day. Would you allow your friend to come to your mothers funeral???
I’ll personally give this old i*diot a good beating if I see any part of him or his foolish cadres near the funeral home. The post i*diots are not an exception.
Theres time for everything ftj’s has actually come ,no finger pointing to who could have caused this death apart from the post and mmembe. This man hates ftj even in his death.we really dont know wether this man has ever committed any sin on this earth he as sinless as an angel
I CANT BELIEVE THAT Â THIS CIRCUS OF PREVENTING LEADERS TO MOURN FELLOW LEADERS CAN HAPPEN IN THE PRESENCE OF A DEMOCRATICÂ GOVERNMENT. WHY IS RB NOT COMING IN TO COOL DOWN THE SITUATION? IS HE IN AGREEMENT WITH THISÂ NONSENSE? ZAMBIANS ARE WATCHING
They should not attend his funeral,full stop!!!!!!!.Best dressed man in Zambia rest in peace!!
can someone tell me where the president is? Somebody has just gosspt that from chipata aba kaaamba bashi twins nabapula bali mu malawi meanwhile ftj nafwa. Elo bakese ninshi icililo nacipwamo no mwela, come rb come back shaaaaaaaah
WILLIAM BANDA TOLD EVERYBODY THAT SATA IS NOT WELLCOME AT THE FUNERAL, HE FURTHER INSTRUCTED THE ZAMBIAN PLOICE NONSENCE, TO PREVENT HIM FROM ATTENDING THE FUNERAL. THIS WAS REPORTED BY THE WATCHDOG YESTERDAY, AND SO THE CARDS YOU ARE TRYING TO PLAY HERE WON’T WORK BECAUSE, THE FUNERAL HOUSE IS RIDDLED WITH CCORRUPT MMD THUGS. ALL MEANINGFUL ZAMBIANS DON’T WANT TO BE EMBROIDED INTO THIS MADNESS HENSE THEY ARE WATCHING FROM A DISTANCE WITH THE VOTES IN THEIR HANDS. THEY HAVE PRESERVED THEIR ENERGY FOR MORE IMPORTANT THINGS THAN TO ESCORT THIS THIEF WHOSE BODY HAS ALREADY STARTED TO DECOMPOSE DUE TO UNPRECEDENTED CRIMES AGAINST ZAMBIAN, NOW SHUT UP ALL OF YOU MMD *****S.
#70, of course RB has endorsed this madness. The Police cannot intervene, they have instructions just to watch from a distance, remember the police boss advised Sata to stay away. Now tell me where on Earth can a group of few cadres gathered at a funeral house overpower the Police, such that the Police fails to prevent possible violence?
MMD are just moving faster, Mr Sata,s mileage politicaly by threatening vilence, we dont want a violent party this year and this funeral has just exposed what these *****s in MMD are made of, Lets Go Mr Sata and lets Go PF.The hand of God and the entire heaven is behind you,no weapon formed against mr sata shall prosper.
*****ic thinking and politics by MMD, honestly allowing violance at former head of state funeral? thats not respect to chiluba and am sure even chiluba himself if he was alive he cant let violance happen at anygathering especially at funerals. please ba MMD think before you ar condemned. Is this william Banda untouchable in MMD ranks?
ka father Bwalya,have you ran out of red cards to send off william banda so that we see peace at the funeral house?
Ba SATA kusabaila sana you ve ended up become an enemy of what used to be your friend. You promised to drop all charges against the late second republican presido and changed the position barely a month ago. Now tell us, what is your next move on corrupt governement leader? My advice baba, stay away from the funeral and live or else the panga is on your neck because people have not forgotten what you have been saying about Chiluba.
the post newspaper does not need to go to Chiluba’s funeral to get news
Ladies and gentlemen, we should ask ourselves, as to why are The Post and Sata finding it difficult or why are there tensions for them attending Chiluba’s funeral? Sata is not the only opposition leader the country has and yet other opposition leaders, like HH, Miyanda, and FJT long time foe KK, have gone to the funeral house without any furore? The simple reason is that both Sata and The Post create tension in the manner they relate issues to the public.
It would be wise for both Sata and The Post to change tact in the way they conduct themselves if we want the country to continue enjoying peace and stability. The President should also come out strongly against violence and tell cadres not to bar them attending the funeral.

A political party with a task force ?? A task force for harassing the opposition? What next –Â assassinations. This is very dangerous and should not be allowed to be embedded in Zambian politics, otherwise we will have death squads patrolling our streets at night. Â
#79
A funeral is supposed to be a private family affair not this circus being portrayed by the MMD. No family member or spokesman has said anything and the MMD thugs have been issuing warnings and harassing people at the funeral, this shows lack of maturity and leadership in MMD.
Sata is afraid of his own shadow. The man has a dysfunctional heart due to decades of tobacco/marijuana abuse so MMD cadres should be the last of his worries! When RB is announced winner later this yr, cobra will suffer a fatal heart attack and we’ll have another state funeral.
William Banda is behaving like galu waciwewe. If a d o g is misbehaving and attacking people, not only is it put down, but even its owner is arrested and charged. The owner of William Banda is the MMD and the President and if the President does not muzzle this d o g people will react against him. Mr Sata let loose his Nakawalas and that cost him the support of the people and were it not the Post rehabilitating him this time round, he would have gone into political oblivion. Pleease Mr President speak out against this little evil man. Bad things happen when good people keep silent. Zambians do not want UNIP-type cadre vigilantism.
Puting politics aside, Dr Chiluba and many people were closer to each other than with William Banda. Calling Chiluba a thief does not mean one hated him so that they cannot be alllowed to the funeral. If a mother hands over her son to the police because he has broken the law, does that nullify the filial relationship? Of course not. The man was President of Zambia and it is not MMD that voted him into office. A state funeral is at taxpayers’ expense, so everyone and anyone should be allowed to express their grief and pass condolences to the family if they want to, ONLY do not go about singing his praises, if you never did when he was alive. That IS hypocrisy.
I hope both camps will exercise restraint from violence especially during malilo. How do you mix the two? Malilo and fighting. What is the motive? To cause more malilo or what? Chiluba was President for all, even those who wished him dead. MMD better handle it with care. Let Sata attend funeral but he should exercise as much restraint as possible. After all he is one of the big beneficiaries of the Chiluba government, even though he does not appreciate this fact.
it is total NONSENSE, just like PF cadres attack ZNBC, same achiac reasoning
Taste of own medicine bamudaala! You trained those chaps thuggery yourself as a chief/thief thug. Now you see, even in your poor health you can’t mourn your former friend/enemy anymore. Just go to the clinic bamudaala and have enough rest. Don’t dare venture into campaigns or else you will quickly greet chiluba at St.Anns.
Why should this ***** william Banda be allowed to bring confusion in our own country. You shawa also, whats your problem? Shame to charles shawa. Ndiwe mukulu chi shawa iwe, why cant you ALSO reason? PERIOD
There is no cheating on behalf of PF. MMD thugs led by William Banda, the guy who was deported by the very Chiluba to Malawi is manning the gate to the funeral house at the lodge and harrassing percieved enermies. As Mr. Maxwell Nkole the former chairman of the task force has observed the MMD dominated parliament with George Kunda as Minister of legal Affairs removed Chiluba’s immunity so that he was prosecuted. Today the MMD are busy championing the call that they loved FTJ. At least some of us that told him for his mistakes loved him more.
wu in their normal senses wud want to kill SATAN. he will just kill himself wen he looses the election this year. VIVA PEACE LOVING ZAMBIANS
But kwena! They said we are not stopping anyone to attend the funeral and then they a bulldog called William Banda and the Cadres at the gate to harass the opposition. Kwena fwebena Zambia tulifipuba, this bulldog was deported by FTJ, and the same bulldog has come back and is harassing mourners at FTJ’s funeral. A foreigner, a deportee stopping the owners of the country to attend a funeral of their fellow Zambian and some pipo are supporting him. This is a state funeral not MMD funeral, Chiluba was president for all Zambians.

FTJ. You have a mixed legacy of bringing democracy and liberalising the economy on one hand and being pursued for corruption during your tenure. MYSRIP. With regard to Sata, its best they let him attend the funeral. Both were friends before for a long time and nobody has the right to stop him from paying his last respect. William Banda was once Chiluba’s enemy before as well but their he is now as a part of the MMD.
Bring in the army to protect mourners since the police are toothless because they are also MMD cadres.
It is too late already for him (sata) to attend, the damage is already done.
Ba # 98 elaborate more the damage has been done to who?I bet your president for MMD and his illiterate cadres who think after having tujilili they can harass the entire country without repercussions.
I do not understand what exactly what Mr Sata would like to do at the funeral house. Maybe to make sure that Chiluba is really dead and not feigning death or to ask him to rise from the dead so that he would have pleasure of sending to jail when he becomes president. Definetly not to mourn him. That would be mockery and provocation. The bemba’s say ” Ulelosha ta ba mulolesha kukanwa” loosely traslated as ” he who is mourning should not be held responsible for what he says or does during his lamentations”.
Thugs like Willaim Banda are not needed in our society!!!That hooligan seems to thrive where there is violence. If the Post said the truth about FTJ, that don’t mean they hated the guy. They are entitled 2 mourn him!Willaim was deported by FTJ and I have seen the reasons y!RIP ba FTJ
Attention my fellow bloggers. Pay much attention to what DYONKO has written. This is 100% sense. When you leave in a glass house, do not throw stones at your friends because one day they will do the same unto you. SATA and his POST are in trouble. Mwanya.
Father in in the name of Jesus! i command the devil behind William Banda to leave in the might name of Jesus you demon of blood manifesting in Wlliam Tekere Banda i barnish you to hell fire where you belong.no weapon fashioned against the peace of mother Zambia shall prosper.Yes William Banda can rise with a sword but it shall not come near Zambians ..Tekere Banda i speak to your soul. REPENT OR PERISH ..if you do not repent you shall not SEE the next 40 days the Lord will smite you at Midnight in the name of Jesus. you are defeated ,all your weapons are rendered useless by the blood of Jesus…repent old man repent the wrath of God is being unleased on you this a prohetic utterance to you i destroy all your evil alters that you have raised i quench them with the Holy Ghost Fire! in Jesus
that agree piece of shit must stay away from our funeral
the time sata will die is wen he loses this year’s elections..on that polling day..so the BP machine shud be around him..
