PF and Sata resolve not to attend Chiluba’s funeral

Patriotic Front (PF) has resolved not to attend Dr Chiluba’s funeral, saying going to the funeral might cause havoc.

PF Kabwata member of Parliament Given Lubinda said the party central committee chaired by Mr Sata met on Monday and it was resolved that the PF would not attend the funeral.

“On Monday Mr Sata called for a central committee meeting. Everyone who attended the meeting was of the firm conviction that going to Dr Chiluba’s funeral might just cause unnecessary havoc,” Mr Lubinda said.

He said the PF does not want to provoke the situation by attending the funeral.

And speaking on a radio show Mr Sata said that he did not physically need to be at the funeral house but he will mourn Dr Chiluba from his own home.

Meanwhile, YANDE SYAMPEYO reports that the family of the late former President says Mr Sata has found it difficult to attend the funeral because of his guilty conscience.

But PF secretary general Wynter Kabimba said the party will ‘gladly stay away’ from attending the funeral of Dr Chiluba as they have been banned from doing so.

Family spokesperson Benjamin Mwila said Mr Sata, who is Patriotic Front (PF) President, has banned himself from attending the funeral as he has failed to contend with his conscience, following the negative statements he issued about Dr Chiluba when he was still alive.

Mr Mwila, who is also President of the National Democratic Focus, was reacting to Mr Kabimba’s statement that the MMD has banned PF from attending the funeral.

But Mr Mwila said the country still recalls Mr Sata’s sentiments that he would have re-arrested Dr Chiluba and ensured that he died in prison if elected President.

“Now that Dr Chiluba has died, I am sure Mr Sata has found it difficult to reconcile with what he said about him.

“So in actual sense, he has just banned himself from attending the funeral. Government and Dr Chiluba’s family have not banned him,” Mr Mwila said.

Mr Mwila said the PF will not be forced to attend the funeral if they do not wish to do so. He said every Zambian who wishes to mourn Dr Chiluba is free to do so.

Mr Mwila, who is Nchelenge member of Parliament, said there was nothing sinister about moving the funeral from Kabulonga to Belvedere Lodge.

He said the initiative was not politically motivated and not against the Bemba tradition and culture.

Mr Kabimba yesterday said there was no need to switch the funeral venue.

“We all know why the funeral gathering has been moved from Dr Chiluba’s residence to Belvedere lodge. It is due to the large crowd of people who are attending the funeral.

“There is no law in Bemba or even in the Ngoni tradition which forbids the shifting of a funeral gathering. So if Mr Kabimba was not aware about this, now he is,” Mr Mwila said.

He said it is not true that the funeral gathering has been moved for political gain in favour of the ruling party.

Featuring on Zambezi FM radio in Livingstone yesterday, Mr Kabimba said the PF is saddened by the death of Dr Chiluba and wish his family well.

And some callers said Mr Sata is unreliable and cannot be trusted as he turned against Dr Chiluba.

One of the callers only identified as Chinyama wondered what guarantee the country has that Mr Sata is a changed person.

Chinyama said Mr Sata supported the third term and issued contradicting statements when Dr Chiluba was facing corruption charges.

Another caller only identified as Mweemba said Mr Sata’s record is well known and that he campaigned for Dr Chiluba’s attempt to go for a third term.

“We all know Mr Sata. When did he become good? We all know he campaigned for the third term,” Mweemba said.

And Matero member of Parliament Faustina Sinyangwe has called on Mr Sata to swallow his pride and go to the funeral of Dr Chiluba, saying it is inhuman for Mr Sata and PF members of Parliament to shun the funeral.

She said in an interview in Lusaka yesterday that the behaviour of the PF leader is unacceptable and should be condemned.

“Despite Mr Sata despising Dr Chiluba when he was alive, it is important for Mr Sata to go to the funeral and show remorse,” Ms Sinyangwe said.

She said Zambians have always put their political differences aside whenever death occurs.

“Everyone knows that Mr Sata despised Dr Chiluba so much but this should not be extended to death. It is unZambian and inhuman,” Ms Sinyangwe said.

She said all opposition leaders who had differences with Dr Chiluba have been to the funeral, apart from the PF leader and his MPs who are campaigning despite the demise of Dr Chiluba.

“Mr Sata is what he is today because of Dr Chiluba who worked closely with him when he was President,” she said.

  1. Mr.Sata would show his respect for tradition by attending the funeral. If he is scared of havoc the police is there to protect him. It is un-cultural for a person of his position not to mourn a former President. Why refuse to reconcile even with a dead friend?

    • He’s not refusing to reconcile; he’s life is under threat. MMD cadres have politicised the death … trying to gain political mileage even in death. Politics should have been a simple difference in ideology or opinion. Unless Sata had something to do with Chiluba’s death, William Banda should not have been given the wings to even bring the so called Jeraboz to sort our PF. Chiluba was a republican president who store a lot of money from us … sad as it was, bitter as we were; that could NOT have lead to silly arrangements of sorting out the opposition. Sata; go to the funeral in your own time!!!

    • Good people, what is wrong with you? Can someone be forced to attend the funeral? Why make this issue a big farce? Leave Sata alone. Like every human being, he is free to attend or not attend the funeral. In the meantime, condolences to the family of Chiluba for the loss they have suffered.

  2. Just the other day Mr Sata and PF had been threatened by MMD cadres, william Banda and friends NOT to attend the funeral of chiluba or else they risk been beaten or killed by this MMD thugs. The question is why would people bring in politics at the funeral? it just shows how shallow Zambian poitics are. And look at the source of this story.

  3. Mulekeni Sata aloshe pamwakwe there’s no way in bemba tradition where it says someone must go to the funeral house for people to know that alosha.

  4. These people smoke too much. Clouded grey matter. Rationalizing capacity very low from clogged lungs and cerebellum

  5. you pipo who is blamming the pf and mr sata for not attending the funeral,have offered him any security?if the police is silent on the threat of the mmd thugs,what do want mr sata do?risk and attend the funeral anyway?stupid thinking.ba Ben mwila your time is gone,u cant even organise 50 pipo 4 a meeting,

  6. # 1. Are you serious or do you think MMD is playing politics so are you why flip flap today you threaten his life and now you are talking about tradition. Do know what that mad dog William Banda is capable of doing he will so sure attack Sata and if the funeral must be diginified then Sata should give Banda his wish that will disgrace this country besides Chiluba was a very bad man he did more bad than good why the country is not mourning him like  Levy, may God just spaired the christian nation from feather dribbling by the man who messed this country  i have no regrets bally 1 screwed us big time MHSRIP

  7. Did you just say Sata should make peace? Why didn’t Bally 1 make peace with Zambians. First? am sure even in his grave questions will still be asked am sure the tribunal is already set chaired by Levy Patrick Mwanawasa, Ronald Penza, Paul Tembo, Waza Kaunda, Kafupi, Chihana, Richard Ngenda, Baldwin Nkumbula and many trial lawywers that were misteriously dribbled. Like Micheal Jackson sang ” whose bad?” Sata is still a lesser evil than FTJ and MMD

  8. To come think of it SATA can still attend by video conferencing the equipment is there that was used in the London court Judgement if RB wants they can setup at his home where its safe. otherwise Leave him alone 

  9. Good not to attend.Remember what happened at the funeral of the late chibombamilimo when MMD cadres beat up members of opposition.This funeral can`t be an exception, i see nothing that can deter William Banda from doing the same.

  10. The author should have also highlighted the threats by WB and his vicous dogs, ask the young lady from radio phoenix or rev. mutale. We would not love our president (sata) & the nation to be embarassed by the act of those thugs. By the way is it not FTJ who started the political beef with the great michael?

  11. Now that the man is more smarter than you LT and Daily mail, you want to blame him. You didnt want him in the first place but why forcing him after all the threats reported from the CREDIBLE sources like watchdog, post and other online news and ofcourse not yourselves and your sources like daily mail and times of mmd.

  12. Sata is having a taste of his own medicine. he recruited, trained and unleashed William Tekele Banda during the UNIP days. Thuggery was the order of the day when Shi Chilufya was MMD National Secretary. This goes to show that Zambia deserves better. Your own student of your school of Tuggery and Kaponya tactics has challenged you. To make matters worse he is not even Zambian, shame learn your lesson this time, I hope.

  13. From what I gather he may have heard of Chiluba’s death from media reports and that tells us something. The Cobra’s opportunism here has caught up with him badily.

  14. 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.

  15. Trying to be too clever on everything is not always good. Even if sata wanted so much publicity from the Post, it was very bad of him to turn against Chiluba. But then that is not surprising from a snake idol worshipper, is it? It is not surprising to see that the PF/Post alliance has done Sata more harm politically. It alienated them from the genuine alliance with UPND and now from Even Chiluba’s funeral. sata and PF have realised late and they have asked the post not to always ‘headline’ Sata or PF. It is too late! By the way even HH who called Chiluba a monkey in a maize field went to the funeral house without a fussy. So sata can also visit. I thought he was courageous!

  16. WTF why are you *****s talking about SATA its his right not to attend Chiluba’s Royal Burial. The Cobra is a factor all you MMD cadres are crying is his presence at a Thief’s funeral ata ka Chiluba Killed people I know of who the Cobra killed. Wapya munzi the rigging consultant is no more God took him for a purpose he thought him (chiluba) could continue manipulating Zambia awe sure His dribbled himself

  17. @GumuGumu……u just a sick **** plus many of u who are condemning Sata 4 not attending…. What if Sata goes 2 the funeral nd that mad dog WB decides 2 attack him then his cadres rise up 2 defend him dont u know that, that can lead 2 a genocide and there cant be nothoing like who taught WB how 2b violent…….let us not condone violence in any respect because there no place like home.

  18. The viper is holed up in his home becoz he is sick. PF start looking for alternatives the man will not make it to sept.

  19. Who am going to remember Chiluba, trade unionist, champion of democracy, Plunderer, Wife snatcher, Mafia, dribbler and riggist. His the worst scandle since 64 HIV And AIDS has done a system shutdown to the election rigger God sees you just specialise in manipulating 13 million people God will humble you and for you ways of the devil to know that its “Let ma People GO” This marks the begining of MMD system shutdown

  20. I am almost believing that Mr MC is not well because I would imagine that anyone can stop him attending any funeral in zambia. If he is well and strong I would urge him to attend the funeral as a true zambian than fear to cause havoc……..Zambians will respect him if he did

  21. Are you sure western province want to put SATA as their president….? well lets wait and see…This old lady inonge will be skined alive if she is playing to associate us this ***** masholi….a thief….take this rotten teeth away from western province……!!!

  22. Aweee…ninsoni fye. You know your behaviour towards the little man was extreem, and I don’t blame you because I felt that way at times. The difference is that you are our leaders, you represent a significant chunk of Zambians..you need to show that you have the guts to face the likes of William Banda….the Malawian causing harvoc to owners of the land. Go to the funeral, go and mourn Kafupi.

  23. DEAD MAIL USELESS NEWS PAPER…..SATA DONT GO THERE, YOU WILL BE IMPLICATED IN THEIR MESS.

  24. ichililo tachipwa, leave micheal alone, he will attend at an appropriate time even after elections when william will start using his brains.

  25. #20 YOU MUST BE A VILLAGER, SATA WAS ON RADIO YESTERDAY AND HE EXPOSED HOW USELESS MMD IS. HOW COULD CHILUBA, SICK FROM 19:30 DIE AFTER MID NIGHT WITHOUT EVACUATING HIM? SHAME

    • Evacuating him where. This is foolishness because there is no way you want to evacuate people somewhere instead of equiping your hospitals

    • Evacuating him where? This is foolishness because there is no way you want to evacuate people somewhere instead of equiping your hospitals

  26. Good step, let Sata mourn his own sins, at his own home without injuring others. All chairs, stools, buckets and used plates would have landed on his head had he attempted to attend the funeral place.

  27. Circumstances of his guilt have caused him to rationalize that he is better off staying away. After all, wasn’t Chiluba his enemy?

  28. And where was this central committe meeting held since cobra is bedridden?In his bedroom I presume or it was never even held, knowing the undemocratic tendencies of the old serpent.

  29. Winter summer Kabimba this dull city council lawyer who has never won a case in his life…how can you wish the bereeaved family ‘well’.. you offer condolences you “”$****…ahh excuse my Japanese…When LPM died mouners gathered at the show grounds was that political mileage as well..sometimes its good to think and know when to just shut up..going to QFM at this point in time is wise? No wonder you can charge 20 dollars to collect a 5 dollar debt…sham.

  30. The MMD Dominated Parliament removed Dr. Chiluba’s immunity. The MMD MP’s vuvuzela’s called Dr. Chiluba a thief and lamped more than 60 cases of theft. I remember one was for $40m. Now bloggers leave Sata alone. It was the MMD where Dora Shikapwasha & George Kunda belong even today that called kafupi a thief and wanted him Jailed. So sata has no conscious to worry about.

  31. I don’t see the big deal with People talking about Sata attending the funeral. the question for MMD is has RB himself been to Chilubas funeral and if he hasn’t where is he? Why are people not commenting about RBs conspicuous absence from the Funeral house?

  32. Fellow Zambians, I wish to agree with the decisions the PF have made not to attend the funeral of Dr. Chiluba, my understanding is that for them to attend they may provoke the situation and people may start fighting each other, so to avoid bloodshed it’s good for PF not to attend. Funeral does not finish at their own time they can visit the grave yard especially if everyone wants to see Sata attend, these are politics and congratulations for the decision. Issues of security is very cardinal its not just about attending the funeral but protecting yourself first before you save some one.

  33. I feel sorry for sata. Life has caught up with him and i think GOD is communicating something to him. God is saying hurting other does not pay. Sata is ashamed to the point that he is now confused and does not know what to do. should i go and morn FTJ or i should stay home?. Sata learn something here. Do not campaign by insulting pipo. Just espouse the policies of your party. Sata is dying of bitterness of of his unfaiful life to others. Sata was a good friend to FTJ and becuase of his crookedness, he started insulting his friend, chiluba. Sata lishelu

  34. i think for the sake of peace,coz if sata goes to the funeral house MMD will try to provoc him so that they find a way of accusing and blaming him.

  35. Tekere 20// You have a point Mr.Sata could be unwell. By the way, why is Given Lubinda re-taking the PF Spokespersonship? PF could be hiding the truth about Sata, anyway we wait and see, but I will not be surprised to hear that he has decided not to contest due to ill-health.

  36. After all, did we not hear that they hosted a celebration rally in Lukulu as soon as they heard that Chiluba had died?

  37. I hear they are having an ‘aftermath braai’ for each day of the ‘seven day’ mourning period at Sata’s backyard. Sata is celebrating Chiluba’s death no doubt!

  38. Hey hey hey, just bury the little thief and give us some break. Why waste time attending his kalilo, Sha!! If yu dont have better things to do in life then pliz yu a free 2 attend the kalilo. As for me, am not interested!!!! Better go clubing than this nonsense, leta makoko kuno!!! Lobe inga tawakolwe lelo.

  39. Country men pliz enlighten me; who turned against who? I thought it was Chiluba who turned against Sata by supporting Banda and not the other way round. So u wanted sata to continue supporting chiluba even when the latter was supporting his opponent. Good gracious! Zambians let us be fair to the old man Sata. And Sata is not obliged to go to the funeral, he chooses to and am sure the reason advanced for his abstainance, to me, appear genuine. We are not new to MMD’s thuggery at funerals. U remember Magande’s torn jacket at Chibomba Milimo’s funeral?

  40. Ladies and gentlemen, you dont force someone to attend to a persons funeral. Maybe Mr sata has got other commitments. Moreover he passed his condolences to the bereaved family. This is the mentality u pipo have of attending funerals even when u have no money for transport only to start inconviniencing others after the burial in terms of movements……….Sata is mourning FTJ peacefully.

  41. Imwe ba MMD pompwes, leave my President Sata alone. Now pipo know that you hate him because he is winning these elections. MMD has run out of issues so have resorted to lies in the morning, lies the afternoon, lies in the evenings and lies at funerals, SHAME! At least people are decided to vote massively for Sata come September

  42. MMD, AND YOUR WILLIAM BANDA YOU NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME. EVEN THE DEVIL HIMSELF HAS MORE CREDIBILITY. WHAT HAS CAUSED PF TO REFRAIN FROM ATTENDING THE FUNERAL? THERE WAS A PUBLIC STATEMENT MADE BY THE MMD MAD DOG WILLIAM BANDA THREATENING T LYNCH MS AND EVEN RB CANNOT TELL HIM TO SHUT UP. THE POLICE HAVE TOLD MC TO STAY AWAY AND. AS WE RIGHT NOW WB IS MANNING THE GATE OF THE FUNERAL VENUE. IF PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN GAIN POLITICAL MILAGE OUT OF SATA NOT ATTENDING FTJ’S FUNERAL IT WILL NOT WORK. WE KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE MORE THEY DEMONIZE HIM, THE MORE SYMPATHY HE WINS. MS DO NOT FALL INTO THIS TRAPS, STAY AWAY AFTER ALL CHILUBA’S REAL FAMILY MEMBERS (NOT KA RED LIPS B.Y) KNOW HOW YOU WOULD HAVE LOVED YOU TO BE WITH THEM IN THESE TIMES OF SORROW.

  43. So much ado about nothing! So much bickering and finger pointing for nothing!
    The man is dead! Let those who want to mourn him mourn him and let those who, for whatever reason, can’t mourn him be left in peace.
    The PF decision not to go to the funeral place was wise. Political thugs have been known to physically assault and seriously injure prominent oppositon figures. Any one remember late Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe’s fate at the hands of UNIP hooligans?

  44. let sata not go we donot want another mongu incidence. if really mmd want him also to go why has not the RB not commented on violence at the funeral and asure the nation protection whoever goes. no let us be fair for me RB has failed to control the party there are doing what they want and in his speechs aganist violence has never mentioned William Banda when everybody knows is violence by character

  45. Good strategy PF and all peace loving Zambians. Barring of Sata from thte funeral house, gives Sata, PF and all peace loving Zambians to bury Chiluba from the comforts of their homes and later will have quality time with Mr Chiluba’s family. Ninshi ama Cadres nayaya.

    Mr Mwila, Syampeyo and Faustina’s reasoning leave a lot to desire. I understand that Mr Sata has been on phone consoling Mrs Chiluba. Thank God for technology. :o

    I see PF is safeguarding not only itself but all who would be hurt in this stupid reasoning of untammed MMD Cadres who turn funerals into political battleground. Could this be lack of political maturity?

    :-c:-w

  46. These PF chaps and Mr. Sata are a disgrace. HH went to the funeral house. No incident. I promise you, despite William Banda, Mr. Sata to his disappointment, must be part of the solution rather than hide behind imagined intent. 

    How do you PF supporters claim any courage? 

  47. PF and its leadership, please attend the funeral, if confusion ensues you will have vindicated yourselves otherwise it is deep and unheard-of stupidity for you not to do so. Remember you may loose votes based on how you handle this funeral. Even HH said so many things about Chiluba, he went for the funeral without fear. How honestly can an old man at almost 75 fail to reason with morality and Zambian culture? This behaviour is truly unbecoming of the PF leadership.

  48. FTJ’s funeral, the movie, starring the Thug William the Bandit Banda as Law Enforcer!! This dim wit should be caged coz we don’t want foreigners causing war n disrespecting the dead!! Daily Crap sucks as usual n trying to promote the MMD propaganda! Elephant s%*t!!

    himself to the first person he sees and asks, “What is

    Unification Theory and the mysteries of the universe.
    We will have much to discuss!”
    Next Albert introduces himself to a woman and asks,
    “What is your IQ?” to which the lady answers, “144.”
    “That is great!” says Albert. “We can discuss POLITICS
    and current affairs. We will have much to discuss!”

  50. Country men and women Chiluba was in the political boxing ring was throwing punches at the opposition nga lyakalipa nabo baposa,clear evidence just hours before his death had a political meeting at his home fact,period.So ba Sata and others in the opposition have nothing to appologes on a political fight is apolitical fight no referee.And mourning is not only going to the furneral house or kumanda no namashiwi yalalosha,icililo…..people are busy fattening their pockets watch those ministers salapukeni…MMD TIME UP.

  52. SataNa & Membe resolved not to attend the funeral the moment they heard about the death of FTJ as they were doing what they know best ‘yakumbuyo’ hence the editorial comment in the sunday post of 19/6/11. But they are an insignificant duo out of the 13million zambians.

  53. #54 Apamwamba. HH is not popular as Sata and MMD do not have worries with him. Anything Sata does is misinterpreted by MMD. Just the very morning of Chiluba’s death, MMD militias were on record threatening PF and its allies not attend the funeral. The police and government  has not issued any statement assuring PF safety should they decide to pay their respects. I m sure they are other means Sata will mourn and pay his respect. # 57 DJ Chris Dee. What Zambian culture are you talking about? Is threatening people with violence Zambian culture. I can not wait for Monday next week so that we can concentrate on other things. 

  54. William Bull Dog Makhirikhiri Banda is manning the gate and the kitchen. Atleast he is assured of three meals. These unemployed foreigners!!!

  55. What is Zambian and unZambian naimwe?? The fact is that MMD and William Banda in particular have threatened Sata and PF period.

    We all know what Banda is capable of doing under the noses of police. Why does BY Mwila want to play down a real threat so that he can be adopted by MMD??

  56. what if Sata does not attend the funeral.That piece of S.H.I.t must stay away,it hated Chiluba and in his death.Kwena sata uli chi===la,sorry,what did i say,chi-colour.our man came from my village,musangu,luapula province.if he came from chitulika village,i wouldnt care.zambians watch out for that tribalist,called, chilufya

  57. IMAGINE SATA GOING TO FTJ’S FUNERAL WHEN RB IS THERE! RB WILL BE OVERSHADOWED LIKE NAKAPELELE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN OSTRICH. MMD KOWS THIS SO THEY JUST HAVE TO PREVENT SATA FROM ATTENDING.

  58. #63 Dix and the rest…………………………sata is a nobody even if he doesnt attend funeral.

  59. The PF are not afraid of being harassed, their decision not to attend Chiluba’s funeral is motivated by the hatred and insults that they have been showering on the former head of state.- Particularly from SATA.
    It is only natural that the relatives of Dr. Chiluba will view their(PF) mourning as a shed of crocodile tears and political gimmick for publicity. I may be wrong, but the biggest lesson that our politicians should learn and learn very quickly is to criticize each other with dignity. Politics of insults and demeaning each other belong to the Cha Cha Cha era.or the rubbish bin. We all know that political leaders use all circumstances to their own advantage.

  60. Mwikala patalala mwine apatalalika. I think Sata feels bad about the death of Chiluba just like any loving Zambians. Other people now saying Sata goes to the funeral they just want a scene or something to talk about. Besides whatever words exchanged between Sata and Chiluba is not the worst words that could let one not go to the funeral. The MMD made it impossible for most people not to attend this funeral. MHSRIP

  61. TAKE IT OR LEAVE THE FUNERAL GOES ON EVEN IF ONE DOES NOT ATTEND .WHAT MATTERS IS WHY DO WE HAVE TO DIFFER ON WHO MUST OR NOT ATTEND A FUNERAL WHEN THE DEAD HAS NO SAY ON WHOM THEY WANT TO ATTEND THIER FUNERAL?

    SOME OF THE FOOLS WHO SHOW ON FUNERALS ONLY INCREASE THE BURDEN IN THE NAME OF FUNERAL. SUPORT THE REMAINING FAMILY MEMBERS TO THE LATE ON SPIRITUAL MORAL WITH GOD AND DONT JUST EAT THE FUNERAL FOOD WHO STAND HIGH TO BE DOING SOME VACUUM HELP.

  62. Ba Faustina Pretty face……You are cursed!!!!! Ukubipila kumo nomutima!!!! Do not pretend or make name out of this funeral. Ba Mwila at one time I thought you are a sensible man but indeed you have sank so low for a pot of porridge. Shame!!!!

  63. WHY FEAR DEATH LIKE THIS AND YOU WANT THE NEXT PRESIDENT,SATA,TO BE KILLED BY THE HYNAS AT THE FUNERAL.LET US REFLECT ON THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE US,REFER TO #10

  64. What a shame that MMD have Championed Chiluba’s Funeral. PF good job don’t mix with Failures. Stay away. What will these people gain? Nothing, Kwati Bwinga ati Balantana Castle or Mosi? Or tu Heineken utwa Dula? Lyeni Muikute Ba William.

  65. MY deepest condolences to Chiluba family. Shame on anyone politicising this funeral. The late turned to God and am sure he is in the right place. For SATAN, he has no remorse in his heart. We cannot accept to have a vengeful leader even during mourning. Critical of snakes. They kill for the sake of it.
    Satan you and your party is overwhelmed by by shame, odds are against you including your master the devil. May God deliver you. I only hope you wont go before elections. Your health situation is not any better. The sooner they replace you the better.

    • Cant you leave Mr Sata alone?Why are you crucifying him on whatever he does or not do,whatever he says or not say?Does Mr Sata owe you anything?

  66. Who killed Paul Tembo, Wezi Kaunda, Ronald Penza, Baldwin Nkumbula, Dean Mungomba? This ka Chiluba was a demon, may he roast in hell!

  67. Don’t really understand what the fuss is all about. Mpomba had his suit torn a while back at a funeral better to avoid all that crap nefi ma cadres insulting you atase. Chiluba na Sata bonse baleimpontela so what is he guilty of?? That is just Politics mwebantu…Mwila nao insoselo shakwe tashiweme as a family spokesman, kulandafye without reference to anything that come and mourn we are are a peaceful family / nation..Does it mean that if Sata died then all those in the opposition should not attend the funeral because mwaleimpontela and because you did not make peace?? What bullsh!t !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  68. FOOLS find it difficult to make sense

    Why bring SATA in this issue of FTJ’s funeral. All stupid papers are writing negatives about SATA not attending. Did you read or hear that this bastard William Banda with is baboons warned SATA and PF not to attend? In our culture we don’t count who is attending or not. If FTJ did not make friends how can he make friends in death? Accpording to Banda, let those who were in good standing with Chiluba attend and burry him. SATA has a life to live and has nothing to do with Chiluba’s death. SATA is not Jesus to have saved or resurrect him if he attends the funeral. Neither is Chibluba a Lazarus. He is dead and that was his time period.

  69. Zed Politics is just childish, disgusting and the Family spokesman is just vindictive, if you don’t have a problem with Sata attending shame the people who want to attack him….a new generation is needed Asap in Zambia wasting time over a person who never did anything but improve his bank balance.
    JUST UTTER RUBBISH THE WHOLE LOT OF THEM!!  

  70. WHO IS THE INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE,IS IT WILLIAM BANDA OR IS THE POST VACANT,I HAVE NO JOB AND COULD HAVE CAGED WILLIAM,ANY WAY WHAT LAWS DO WE HAVE WHEN THE CONSTITUTION IS ABSENT.

  71. Satan is a coward where is your courage. How can you fail to mourn your former boss. We dont need such coward leaders. Please let me have the names of other parties which have failed to attend because of fear of victimisation. What you say will follow you. TAKE HEED AND ACT RESPONSIBLY ALL THE TIME, IF YOU FALTER APOLOGISE..AND LET LIFE CONTINUE.
    I think the devil is sick and afraid of the consequences of silent killer, non communicable disease like Heart problem. You are a moving coffin. You die without warning. 
    I am I feel bad to see headlines in your post still haunting the dead. Shame..on you..

  72. i hope the poor mans body wont be flown and driven up and down before finally laying him to rest. Thats just pure torture of the dead

  73. I know traditionally if you cant attend the funeral at least you send something so SATA and your followers you dont want to donate money and mwakana kuyende ku malilo so gather yourselves in groups bengu kwakalingalinga,mutendere,kalikiliki even bauleni endani musonkese unga,muguleko nakapenta nama cabbage ok deal

  74. NUMBER 19 you are VERY rite.the same pipo who want chiluba arrested are the same popI today saying bad things about sata.we all know that the man is a thief who steal from the poor Zambians.Pipo let us stop being HYPOCRITES.SATA IS RIGHT BY NOT GOING TO THE FUNERAL UKULI WILLIAM BANDA,DONT GO BA SATA.

  75. @82 you seem to have a terrible n perpetual hatred for mr Sata. God knows what he has personally done to u. I salute the PF as well as other citizens who have decided to stay away and mourn from home for the sake of peace.

  76. If Sata comes to the funeral, I will kill him. The police fears me and I have the backing of the president who said that we should mourn Chiluba in peace and dignity, but has no powers to act on my violence

  77. william banda is a sick and useless cocorochi in politics,frm now on you wille start looking for a place to go to next yr in malawi.u wizard.

  78. I think its a wise decision not to attend the funeral.The possibility of setting up traps for Sata are just too high and not worth risking.Your life is in your hand,mr Sata. 

  79. Sata died a long time ago when Mwanawasa evacusted him to SA. Like Chiluba, Sata has a pacesetter in his ventricles. any time sata can collapse. MMD cant waste time beating an already dead person.

  80. NO – NO Two Wrongs will never do right, Let SATA stay away. William enjoy the funeral party filya mwalechita MU UNIP when you killed chigaga and all other fallen heroes.

    Ba Zambia Tamwa kwata Chisuma, if he went and there was a problem, you will say cobra walubuli. Leave the MAN alone and give him credit.

    Iyoooo there is entertainment pa Zambia. Chiluba wee, wafwa at the right time..

  81. The real truth is that 99% of PF members are violent-prone. Sata merely wants to appear as a “fake” atateman, the traits that he doed not possess. His all life has been marked with violence. Thank God, this window of opportunity for Sata to instigate violence has been plugged. In fact when Church leaders are praying for peace, we know as to whom they are addressingsuch pleas of peace – we all have Sata in mind. Churches and well-meaning Zambians know that RB, HH, Miyanda, Sakwiba, Milupi are peaceful leaders by their nature. Let’s mourn FTJ in peace.

  82. If sata and pf are saying that they will not go to the furneral home let them be but they should no that what ever their saying pipo will say the same when that day come for sata and pf remember that no man is an island everyone will die so pipo prepare yourself by dowing good to other pipo no to pf only basata you new Dr. Chiluba beta than anyone not even RB, basata think twice.

  83. I feel sory for Mr Sata.Before he could attend the funeral they were saying he shouldnt dare.He let them be.And having realised that it would make them even more unpopular now they are twisting the situation saying he is unhuman for not attending.Has RB attended the funeral?Please leave Mr Sata alone.What ever he does or doesnt do,say or doesnt say,they want to use it against him.Please leave Mr Sata alone

  84. Mr Sata, just to let you know that Dr Kaunda visited the funeral house and wept genuinely. Get it? Mmembe should should not lead you astray just for the campaigns.

  85. What ever Sata does will be wrong. I guess he can’t please all the people all the time.
    Banda your days are numbered…….

  86. Lets stop pretending. What is there to mourn about FTJ? Pretence is at the fore here. Who doesnt what this FTJ of yours did to Zambia?. Shame.

  87. Lets stop pretending. What is there to mourn about FTJ? Pretence is at the fore here. Who doesnt know what this FTJ of yours did to Zambia?. Shame

  88. Don’t demonise Mr. Sata and PF about not going to Chiluba’s funeral when mmd has instructed William Banda and his thugs to attack him and no one is saying anything against this malawian thug threatening our leaders. Rev Mutale was nearly lynched on suspicion of being a PF sympathiser. We are back to the old days where anyone who was not unip was beaten in full view of police officers, without doing anything about it.The current mmd is definately the second coming of unip.The stance taken by Mr. Sata and PF is the right one, and no one should complain, as this is what mmd wanted.Rb has not said anything about William Banda threatening innocent people who want to come to the funeral house. One does not necessarilly have to go to a funeral huose to mourn a friend especially if not wanted.

  89. The best is to keep away for the sake of peace. Mr. Sata and PF are being targetted because of their popularity. If there was protection one would expect the police to say something, but they are just quiet as usual. Police protection is not quaranteed in zambia if you are an opposition political party member.Until we vote for a party in government that will protect all zambians irrespective of political party affiliations people like william banda will continue threatening us all the time with police doing literally nothing. Remember how this william banda used to whip our women during unip days when queuing for mealie meal.This is what made chiluba to deport him back to malawi when he was elected president. The man to condemn is william banda and not sata.

  90. These cowards should be ashamed of themselves, why cant they even attend the state funeral when they demonised the same ‘thief’ day and night?

  91. PF has left the funeral for you mmd and william banda the man above the law as you are specialists in mourning the dead. Don’t complain Mr. sata and PF members very much wanted to mourn Chiluba but there is too much irresponsible talk and threats on his life. William banda the man above the law and one every zambian is afraid of except his boss. The rest can’t touch him. We are in trouble witth unip no 2 coming.

  92. Yayi maliro ya cibemba are like this . they need to have someone to blame . otherwise the funeral will be un complete

  93. ALL PF MEMBERS SHOULD NOT DARE GO TO THIS FUNERAL. THE POLICE CAN NOT PROTECT YOU, DONT BE FOOLED.MMD HAVE REDUCED CHILUBA’S FUNERAL INTO A PARTY FUNERAL. THEY NEGLECTED HIM,THATS WHY HE DIED AT HOME LIKE A NOBODY. SHAME ON YOU MMD.

  94. SATA just go and mourn your friend, is it charms? nimakwala? …………don’t be afriad of your own shadow

  95. You people why do want SATA to attend the funeral. Sata is sick and bed ridden. The strategy is NOT to be seen in public. People now are sensitive about a president dyinbg when in state house. Sata will only appear in public after he is well. Lets not put him under pressure to attend this funeral until he feels good. Those who know Sata well will know that in times like this he would be on front page of the Post issuing statements. He would try to show courage by going to the funeral for popularistic view. His hiding confirms all romours that he is sick.

  96. FTJ died and went to heaven. When he got there he knocked long and hard on the pearly gates. St. Peter came out and asked his name. You do not know my name? I’m FTJ Chiluba He roared at St. Peter. St. Peter looked at his list and could not find his name. Sorry said St. Peter you’re not on the list. What do you mean I’m not on the list??? Do you know who I’m? As a matter of fact I do, said St. Peter, but neither your real name nor the fake one are on the list. THAT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH I’M A VERY IMPORTANT PERSON MY NAME SHOULD BE ON THE LIST! St. Peter tried to explain that it’s not easy to getinto heaven, that you have to be good to Kaponyas.

  97. When FTJ Chiluba hears this he starts to complain. So St. Peter says that had he been good to Kaponyas he would have some chance. WELL, roared FTJ, YOU BET YOU KNOW THAT I HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD TO KAPONYAS, WHY ONLY TWO WEEKS AGO WHILE AT AN ELECTION RALLY FOR PRESIDENT BWEZANI IN CHIENGI I GAVE OUT 100 GREY ENVELOPES TO KAPONYAS WHO INCLUDED CHIEF PUTA, AND, A MONTH AGO I GAVE BWEZANI THE CHIEF KAPONYA 4 BILLION KWACHA TO DISTRIBUTE TO ALL MMD KAPONYAS, NOW WHAT DO YOU SAY MR. 

  98. ST. PETER! St. Peter took a few notes. He told FTJ Chiluba to wait that he would have to go and talk to “the old man” and get some advice. About ten minutes later St. Peter come out and said to FTJ Chiluba, HERE ARE YOUR GREY ENVELOPES AND 4 BILLION KWACHA YOU STINKING THIEF, NOW F.U.C.K OFF.

  99. BY who appointed him as family spokes person?Didnt he himself had differences with FTJ?Why did BY form his nashalaneka party?Sata and FTJ differed on politics period!The two were very close friends.Both of them were throwing missiles at each other!Who revealed the dossier of Sata having a child with Bishop Mpundu`s sister?
    BY is the one making FTJ funeral political.

  100. Ba Zambia ta mwaka chinje.You waste most of your time on useless things that will not even improve the dilapidated situation pa Zed.Think of it Chiluba has left billions of wealthy and you are even asking well wishers to contribute huge amount of money to his funeral expenses.Come on guys muletusebanya na ba junalists nabo ubu puba abati the president wept uncontrolable,is that what you can publish?Dont you know that he was crying because the master dribler and rigging consultant is no more.This is how GOD acts for his peoples cry to untold missary they have gone through during his regime.A lesson to you unfaithful politicians.

  101. Its not only unZambian to extend whatever differences during death but its generally unAfrican. President Museveni was a life enemy of Uganda’s former president, Dr A.M Obote (RIP) but when the latter died in 2005, the former put aside his political differences by not only paying tribute to the bereaved family but he also ensured the return of the deceased’s body from Zambia to Uganda and even arranged a state burial for him.

  102. WE HOPE TO BE TREATED TO ‘MOBILE MOURNING’ TYPICAL OF MWANAWASA’S FUNERAL OF TOUR OF PROVINCES……..

  103. 123 KAFEERO – Well, but then Zambia is not Uganda. And if indeed Ugandans are so forgiving, how come you have been in one civil war after another? Had it not been Mwalimu Kambarange Nyerere to oust Idi Amin, that cannibal would have killed all of you and eaten you. So please keep your forgiveness to Kampala, we will deal with this dead stinking thief in a way we know best. 

  104. We know us who stays just near the funeral house how these william fugs are victimising non mmd members. Its a good idea not for pf to attend the funeral. Let us with good brians than the william and thugs mourn barry 1 with dignity. Differences aside MHSRIP

  105. You pipo let those who want to mourn mourn. Dont force anyone. Dont hav crocodile tears. It is not a must that u go to each and every funeral. pipo hav different reasons and feelings. Talk of sensible things not just politicizing funerals.

  106. So what happened to their own words (PF). Aint the same people we saw body viewing and at the burial. BEING INCONSISTENT VERY DANGEROUS
