PATRIOTIC Front (PF) leader Michael Sata said he did not attend Dr Chiluba’s funeral because it was commercialised.
“That funeral was too commercialised. I do not attend commercialised funerals. I only attend funerals where I have a feeling,” he said.
He also denied being sick and that only his personal doctor should state whether he was sick or not.
Meanwhile former PF secretary general Edward Mumbi said it was shameful for the PF to try and politicise Dr Chiluba’s funeral because they had only succeeded in embarrassing Mr Sata, leaders and the entire party, especially that all the Zambians ignored them.
He said Mr Sata has successfully managed to embarrass himself by trying to politicise the late second president Frederick Chiluba’s funeral and in the end swallowed his pride by sneaking into Mulungushi International Conference Centre (MICC) for a rushed body viewing, former PF secretary general Edward Mumbi has said.
Last week, PF chairperson for local government Given Lubinda was on a Radio Phoenix phone-in programme where he announced that the entire PF central committee met and decided that they should not attend Dr Chiluba’s funeral.
But when contacted for a comment yesterday, Mr Sata sharply contradicted Mr Lubinda by saying it was not true that the PF top leadership had convened a meeting to discuss whether they should attend the funeral or not.
“Who told you that there was such a meeting? We never had any meeting to discuss whether we attend Dr Chiluba’s funeral or not.
“If there was such a meeting, then why did Lubinda contradict himself by attending the burial at Embassy Park? Lubinda was among MPs (Members of Parliament) that attended the burial.
“I also went and viewed the body at Mulungushi and if we had decided otherwise, why did I go there myself,” he said.
But Mr Mumbi said Mr Sata had embarrassed himself and the entire party by trying to politicise the funeral.
“I am very sure it is too early for the Zambians to forget that just last week, the PF through Mr Lubinda announced that they had a meeting at which they decided that they were not going to attend Dr Chiluba’s funeral but for Mr Sata to just turn around and contradict Mr Lubinda, then it means there is something seriously wrong in PF.
“In fact Mr Sata even participated on that programme by calling in, why did he not dispute Mr Lubinda’s statement there and then? This is the highest level of inconsistence we have been talking about on the part of Mr Sata,” Mr Mumbi said.
He said what was interesting was the fact that no one even recognised Mr Sata when he went to view Dr Chiluba’s body at Mulungushi where The Post Newspaper revealed that some people were even heard debating among themselves in low tones as to whether the person on the queue was actually the PF leader, especially that he allegedly looked sick.
“In fact The Post Newspaper left out some information because the people there even went on to say that they have now believed that Mr Sata is truly sick going by how frail he looked on that day,” Mr Mumbi said.
He said what was said in the Monday edition of The Post about the people debating among themselves in low tones as to whether the person they had seen was Mr Sata or not confirmed that the PF leader was not himself.
Mr Mumbi said what was surprising was the fact that the entire PF leadership should hold a meeting at which they decided to shun Dr Chiluba’s funeral on the pretext that some people had planned to beat them up but later started sneaking to the same funeral “like thieves.”
[Times of Zambia]
So William Banda was the reason after all.
Mr. Sata, Pleaseeeeeeeee. Now we are children to be toyed with.
Iwe chikalaa wilabepa,you were just ashamed of shedding those crocodile tears.ni agony,ulepontela umunthu lelo mailo afwa
This is truly inconsistent inconsistencies!!
Mr Sata should have attended the funeral. What was the gimmick behind hiding into lies? Some people were saying he was sick and others were saying he was scared of MMD party cadres. Today he is saying it was too commercial. Which one is the truth?
I thought ACB was in RSA. What happened?
Sata is seeking to politicise FTJ’s funeral by stating that it was commercialised. FTJ was detested by a lot of people, including myself but he was president of Zambia for 10 years. Worse, Sata was the strongest confidant of Chiluba. Sata has clearly not shown maturity over FTJ’s funeral. He claimed at first that he had been banned by William from attending the funeral..and who is William anyway, but now it is because it was commercialised. This man is something else, sickness has gone to his head too!
Who is this Mumbi chap kanshi? What authority does he have on any issue in Zambia? What is his financial background? What has he done for the community? Can someone please dissect this guys profile?
old man are out of your senses. if you did’nt just want to attend the barial i think there is no need to start talking about commercialising the funeral. why can’t you be ashamed of your self. i thought that you did not go to the funeral becouse of security reasons. this is the reason why earlier on i said Zambia will continue having this leadership crisis as long as we stay idle. some chaps are taking advantage of this crisis. to tell you old sata, your aguement about not attending the barial is too shollow. i am wishing good health old man.
Has anybody bothered to have a closser look at that face in the picture above?….Please Zambia, where are we headed to? I have bumped into this man several times….one day we were in the same hardware shop and this man was rumbling alloud attracting everyone’s attention over nothing. He was bubbling incoherencies over and over, until we all were fprced to laugh. An elderly woman laughed until tears made her look like she was crying…and the she said…E ba president sure aba?
I have actually, his face is SICK, his mind is SICK oooh Zambians please!!!!!!! that man cant be president -maybe at Embassy Park.
Edward Mumbi, Lufwekelo, Chifire, Siulapwa etc… How much are paid to embarrass yourselves like this. It better to keep quiet than making malicious noise all the time. Mulongoti was singing similar songs every time there was issue with perceived enemies of Rupiah. Where is Mulongoti today?
#7 and 10…there is no problem with Mumbi. The problem is Sata, he is inconsistent over a lot of things…not just about FTJ’s funeral. He appeals to the less knowledgeable who have no or little idea how the real world operates. Some think Nshima will be put on their plates while they sat and did nothing. If you don’t do something about your lives, you will continue to wallow in poverty, cry foul and miss opportunities in life. You will be call boys day in and day out. The wise will progress to becoming mini bus drivers and eventually, buy their own busses.
Nabo aba batata balasaila sana.. tondolo musuma!
The truth is that the funeral was used for politucal milege. Just listen to the speeches said during burial. They were not only inappropriate but just meant to paint a bad picture about certain people. Imagine the whole president claiming that Chiluba was PERSECUTED by Levy and in the same breath claim dead Levy wanted to forgive Chiluba. What rubbish
What’s so important about HAVIng to attend the funeral of some Lazo who made the entire generation of today’s youth be victims of no accommodation? No kind words for the Zakala nyongo. Let the sucker rest in pieces …no kind words for the womanizer that made innocent Mr. Mwanza and Vera suffer. Atase …some of you chaps pretend a lot. Doesn’t matter whether or not one doesn’t attend. Chi Mumbi, you son of a snail … you are too slow in thinking – Muletusebanya. Should I be dragged into sympathizing for the rotting body of the greatest Kabwalala this Country has ever produced??? No, No, No… takana ise!!!
Lasa Lasa, I like your last message. This message must take precedence and broadcast to the nation everyday. My take is that PF kaponyas believe the hype that Zambia can, overnight, become a welfare state ‘money in your pockets’. It is impossible. Indeed what the country needs is everyone working so we can develop the country.
Back to the subject. Mr. Sata, you have a right not to attend funerals if you do not feel like it. So, it’s ok. you could have just kept quiet. Do you really have to shoot yourself in the foot at the first opportunity? And you want to be president of Zambia.
The story is full of opinions by people who wishes Sata ill so am not surprised!Sata cant say anything without his satement been twisted for political reasons!
You can easily see the calibre here….you don’t need any special abilities, you can pick what is what right here on these blogs.
You so called “LAZO” sympathizers, ask your party president to announce the election date. We are tired of waiting!!!
We have a leadership crisis in zambia. Imagine the main competitors of an election are RB and Sata(very incosistent elders). My heart bleeds. Wake up young and vibrant leaders (Mutati, Mutembo Nchito, Elias Chipimo, HH,Magande) and take up your roles
Lusaka Times is owned by Dickson Jere am surprised
While I would advise to just zip it over the funeral, I think Edward Mumbi is a d.i.c.khead.
BA MUMBI U ILL CONTINUE UKUTOLA IFILE PONA KWI TABLE LYABA LUPIYA BANDA PANTU YOU HAVE BECOME A DOG KWATA AMONO ULIMUKULU MUDALA TEACH ALSO SIULAPWA,CHIFIRE AND LIFWEKELO YOUR FELLOW PAPPIES PLEASE.YOU SIDELINED MR SATA TO ATTEND THE FUNERALBY PUTTING WILLIAM BANDA AS A GET MAN,THE OLD MAN USES HIS WISDOM TO SECURE HIS LIFE BY VIEWING THE BODY IN PRESENCE OF THE STATE SECURITY AND STILL YOU FIND OTHER RUBBISH TO VOMITTE.OK EAT MORE AND VOMIT MORE(RUBBISH)
So ba Sata, Zambians must be fools? How was the funeral commercialised? If FJT’s was commercialised then which one was more commercialised FJT’s or LPM’s?
As regards with LPM’s you sought to accompany the body to each town it was taken to in which you were commercialising yourself? Ba Sata twafweni muleke ukutubepa kwati twaiche (help us by stop telling lies like we are kids).
the part were govt begged for mani med it comecial. it was mo honourable to escort lpm around with pesonal mani and not tax payers mani becoz atlist lpm was honourable and we can thank him for more things than cell fonz and a handful of houses to pipo.
Fed up with politics of stupidity
Imwe bamatole, there is nothing wrong for Sata not attending the funeral. If Sata was there ngamwaliufwa ati SATA is bring confusion at the funeral. It was good that he stayed away. Leave him alone kwati chiluba ngalibuka if sata was there. You can even see what our useless President was saying at the funeral. It was good that Sata was not there
Hahahaaa….. Pa Fwaka…..yachingoni.
You over there with yellow teeth, do you think you can become president with your level of stupidity?
Ba Sata Lishilu
Mumbi at it again , i knew that the ***** will find something to say. no amount of cheap talk will stop Sata to go to plot one DEAL WITH IT
If you can not see anything wrong with SATA then you are the WRONG itself
Sata; you are a miserable flip-flop. We can read between the lines.
PF are always saying that the late FTJ was a political nonentity and would not influence current politics in Zambia. If that is the case, then why has his death brought a lot of confusion in the puerile filth (pf) party? RB has come out looking statesmanlike and dignified whereas the lasting image of Satan will be a tired and sickly looking old man sneaking into Mulungushi hall.
do not use words like satan so carelessly. u sound like silly chanda chimba the 3rd,always misusing words and practising the art of name calling which he has fine tuned-i actually feel sori for his mom and dad am sure it hurts them to have given birth to such a child filled with so much hatred. anyway it takes one to know the other.
bonse tapali ifyo mulelanda talaleni bakwindi.ba sata baleteka.
Sata, presidential candidate, atase bane.
LT please change the picture on this article. People may not vote for this man coz of that picture. Now I know why Clinton bursted into laughter imediately Sata went into the room they had a meeting from. Hey Satan, just accept that you were not feeling well and coz of that you couldnt attend the burial. I can see you are recovering well. Get well soon Cobra!!!
PF and Sata are confused imagine this incosistsnce coming from two senior members, Lubinda says we had a meeting his president says no we never met . To make it worse Sara says I didn’t go to the funeral because mmd threatened to harass him to day he works up and says it was commercialised what rubbishh is this is this a thug we want for president my foit
This is real desperation from Mumbi and useless MMD. They can’t even find anything with which to campaign so they have to come out with the convoluted rubbish about attending funerals or not. Who cares anyway? Really they are finished
No 27…You are not the only voter….the rest of us have vowed not to allow your inconsistent foul mouthed lunatic president to lead us..never!!!
But Given Lubinda was there and he was seen on TV greeting HH. A funeral is where we bury differences and mourn the dead, regardless of how much we hate them. Sata has run out of ideas and he needs to retire.
I really don’t understand what people see in Sata for them to go to the extent of having him stand as a Presidential candidate. An absolutely embarrassment is what I see him for. There is nothing sensible to expect from him! Why on earth would anyone support such a one?
Maliya
Your statement comes as a consolation, while others are determined to place a makishi dancer (Sata) for President, you are there to say “wait a minute, a makishi dancer cannot be President of a country’.
There is something wrong somewhere, somehow, why it is that so many people could still make the mistake of judging Sata to be a suitable candidate, inspite and despite the plain evidence pointing to the contrary. It is anything to do with what status we hold as a third world people, with a mediocre mindset, that misleads us to choose the very kind of person that would plunge us into deeper trouble?
who in yo opinion is better in zambia at the moment then? since u all want to judge on looks and statemanly talk. i guess someone who can say things like ahhhh kanitundila on national t.v is ok.. thats y a presido does not work alone,the cabinet wud be there to point out things.
Mad dog… looney tunes as usual.
Edward Mumbi, shut up. You are the one who has been embarassing Mr Sata and the nation. Tizakuona if MMD will give you a position.
I hope the have not forced SATA to deny being sick. If they have done so, its a pity.
The whole nation, cutting across all divides, rich or poor, in government or opposition, town dweller or rural folk, should volunteer for a psychiatric evaluation! All are to blame for ever allowing this dusty spiritualist to bogart our national political affairs for so long now, that he does not care to insult our national corporate intelligence anymore. That he should have a chance to even stand as a Presidential candidate is a very shameful indictment against us.
PLEASE WELCOME PRESIDENT SATA……THE PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA.
With due respect, the error began when after seeing the benefits of the opportunism that defines Sata, our past leaders, saw it expedient to place him in the corridors of power. But as we can see now, it overtook the temporal benefits they mearnt to achieve only to become a national disease that could easily prove fatal.
Vuvuzela,
mutembo who?
But to say the truth…ba mudala tabalemonika bwino. I know it is not the looks that makes a good president, but it is indeed what comes out of his mouth and his thought processess. I just can’t see any of that from ba mudala, this man was as brutal to Levy just as brutal as he is to RB…there is nothing good out of this man. I laugh when I hear kaponyas talk about fly over bridge and LUDC busses, please let us operate on a different level and let it be reflected in our thinking. Today some of you were with this man, hounding Mwanawasa, but you shower praise to Mwanawasa by saying he is the one that brought development and not RB. Atase! The same man you called a cabbage.
Kushe,who is constistent?, RB is also not consistent in what he says. Just listern to his speach at the funeral of FTJ,he critisized himself by saying he does not interfere in judicial matters – Shame!
Thanks Sata for not attending the funeral and avoiding more bloodshed. You have really beaten them clean. Mumbi and the likes are just Id**ts
No33 for crying out loud
am not forcing you to VOTE for Sata and i don’t care who you are going to vote, for but weather you like it or not Sata ALETEKA the truth hurts .
He looks like he has just been discharged………
I know why Kaponyas like Sata. He says what they want to hear…ie, more money in your pockets, 90 days development, etc, etc. Kaponyas are so easy to deal with, buy a few packets of chibuku and you are popular in the markets, tell all the mwamwazis that by 2013, they will all have bought their own busses, abolish ZRA, fire everyone in Gov’t and share the jobs. Reminds me of IDI Amin.
go to the university of zambia just before the elections. the very graduates who are more knolwdgeable than all also fall these kind of tricks and even there,the one who always scores more is u know who…so get over yoself bane,anygame has tactics. its not about kaponya-izm
Yah even Mutembo is considered presido materia?l..lol..fat desk lawyer who couldnt nail a lazo for 8 years with all the buck and state machinery in the world leader my foot!…So young Michael Chilufya Sata which is it?..you didnt go because the funeral was ‘commercialised’ or because ‘you had no feelings’…so what led you Mulungushi Conf Centre? Is this another one of your traning as a police sergent during the colonial days..LPM told you you will never rule this country and we guess he was right wiould do you well to listen ears are not for decorations
THE EXAMINATION COUNCIL OF ZAMBIA GRADE SEVEN EXAMS:
1.which opposition party president shunned to attend the funeral and only showed up for body viewing A. HH B MILUPI C.SATA
Indeed Sata is siiiiiiiiiik. There are many types of sickneses. Inconsitency is one of them. Imwee. Sata is siiiiik. Dont risk another state funeral. The world will laughat us. I begooooo.
Ya ba wa lasa!!
Leave Mr Sata alone he is too desperate such he can even deny that his name is not Micheal Chilufya Sata.he is very inconsistent or FORGETFUL and I dont know how he can manage to run a nation.Nowonder he thinks we have forgotten his past.
Ba Zambia don’t kill SATA Pleaseeee, Kill the messenger in this case Times? A Government paper supporting MMD wrote this article. Facts of the matter are that True the funeral was commercialized, If it was not?? Why didn’t RB publicly invite his fellow Opposition leaders?
MMD are finished, this is why they cannot even announce the Election date? Just wait chief Rigger VJ is next on the line?? It should be before Ma Votes we will be burying him with his tactics.
i think u arent zambian.In our zambian culture we dont invite people for funerals but they have to come without invitation.A funeral isnt treated like a wedding party or kitchen party where u invite people.How can RB start inviting people for a funeral he is not even Dr Chiluba’s(MYSRP) relative
Zambian politics are so childish. People changing camps and praising incumbent presidents because they are hungry and arguing over the most trivial things. Even some of the new breed of young politicians are pathetic as they tend to boot lick and brown nose.
Dear Mr Sata, I was saddened by your non attendance at the funeral. It really did not hurt, as an aspirant for presidency of Zambia, you are supposed to lead the way and most of all show LOVE and FORGIVENESS. Im a very concerned zambian and drivers, the underpriviledged believe you can make a change but you must excercise alot of wisdom, love and forgiveness.
Uphold the “Zambia is Christian Nation!” Do not change anything!
One sure prerequisite for national development is a defined ‘direction’. Democracy is our preferred ‘direction’. But Democracy is assumed to rest on the foundation of meaningful and critical debate, so as to achieve efficiency, fair play and the objective ‘development’, progress. Now, tolerating the caricature represented in Sata in this ‘direction of democracy’ is doing us a great de-service and will only take us backward. Let the masses be fed with issues but Sata is busy on other things, right to the door step of another election. I pity us!
SATA is the most INCONSISTENT Chap i have ever come across. Thats why he can and will NEVER be president of this country. He should go and be President of Luapula Province…MxxxxM (a long nigerian fyola)
Take it or leave it SATA is finished. PF has NO HEAD and NO TAIL. I pity those chaps who still stick by Sata and his PF. HH will rule some day.For now RB will win and HH will be next. Shibuleni bane. Too many sick politicians pa zed why? Are there no condomes pa zed sha!
Ngifuna ungisize mu fweto, Uniyazi?
What do you expect from someone who has been in politics & governance of this country for more than 50 years? Have had all their work life hefty allowances, salaries from our taxes.Campaigned in all elections with nothing but empty rhetorics. Only realise existence of poverty upon missing the a grip to power. How do you expect a 71 years old to have an active mind for modern style of politics & economies? Is there any change from one 71 year old to another from the same past? Its shameful to have such a person ascend that high in our national political ladder. How inconsistent? Lubinda & Sata contradicting themselves. Is that how they will run our country? God forbide.They do not even know whether a meeting took place or not….Commercial in which context anyway? Didnnnnnnt for sure
Clearly, Sata belittles an average Zambia voter to be so dull and such a retard that what he says will only make him be more popular, no matter the rubbish spewed out.
Cobra’s going for body viewing was to make sure FTJ was 100% dead, not that he had any feelings as stated by himself.
this man is just sick,..his memory is becoming bad..he doenst know what do now..he’s lost it all…!
The Zambian NEWS MAKER MC SATA. Lets accept that currently, there is no news without Sata. whether you like him or not. if he goes quiet for a week people will still be talking. alawalibateka infine
exactly!! was just telling a colleague the same thing this mng,lol. he is in the post,daily and times. including all the smaller papers on the streets,lol.
PF how do we trust you with power if even among yourselves you appear to lack trust? Clean your party and contest in 2016 or else let Mr.Kabimba contest.
Ba Sata you will not get plot one this year.Its a pipe dream.Go hang yourself
There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Worry not though, we will be there to console you, haedz or tailz, since our friendship transcendz politix.
people,sure you can see from the picture above that the diagram in the picture is not fit.the controversy of attending chiluba’s funeral was created by sata and his vuvuzelas.dont blame anyone imwe ba kaponya.R B for the presidency
Where I come from, you don’t owe anybody an explanation for attending/not attending a funeral.
infact in MMD thats where there is high rate of incosistence. Not long ago Rupiah says money for development is coming from the capital markets then a few days later situmbeko and vuvuzela mmd spokes person says money is coming from windfall tax that they refused to implement. who is worse off
There we go with inconsistencies of inconstitencies,eish,Mr Sata please recuperate nicely in Rhodes Park,these cadres will have you killed,remember that you are the only one who cant defect.
This crazy zambian politics . We should have young enrgetic people to be our leaders . these RB,SATA are just too old in the brain . They should all leave pls. We are really in a big soup .GOD BLESS ZAMBIA
The dignity that was accorded to FTJ’s Funeral was more or less similar to the honour bestowed on the late Mwanawasa. Both were laid to rest on the same locality few meters from each other. How come that Sata choses to describe FTJ funeral as having been commercialized. Can this MAD Sata give us the audited accounts on the profits earned by Govt or private companies arising from this State Funeral? Sata is a cheek cruel INDOSHI. On Monday he opts out of the funeral then on Tues he organises insensitive Post photographers to paparazzi on Paramount Chief Mpezeni. Ala nachipena ingulu chi-Sata. Infwa yakwa FTJ will soon usher him into Chainama Hospital.
#69 Vokizo,
I agree with you. There is no News without SATA. He is shocking everyone with his unpredictability, and lack of clear direction. 2006/2008 he says he will do everything to drop charges against SATA as he campains in Luapula. After Banda advocates for the quick conclusion so that he can be free if the nation cannot come with credible evidence for 7 years of Mwanawasa Sc.’s rule SATA says I will reinstate the charges. RB says it is inhuman to continue to call him names if we have evidence then why have we failed to convict the man instead of rediculing him? To me that is good reasing that to be changing – today you say I SATA will drop charges when I win, later of the man is freed by RB he says I will reinstate.

Those who associate themselves with Sata must be deeply ashamed of themselves. This is a message to Bishop Mpundu, Fr. Bwalya, Fr. Miha, Chitala, Mpombo, Mulongoti, GBM, Given Lubinda, Inonge Wina, Masebo, Mrs. Kapigimpanga and a host of all known PF cadres. If these people harbour the same inhuman feelings as displayed by this Mwakyusa called Michael Zondwa Sata, then God forbid. The Devil must be running supreme on their life-styles with their strange perception on the ideals of humanitarian approach to human life. If one studies wild animals such God’s creatures do reflect some elements of sensitivity. What a kind of creatures constitute the PF?
Very sad indeed. Police say dont go ther is WB, hence no security, next day we are not gona attend funeral as PF, then there comes sata to view body against their resolution as party…including the anouncer – Lubinda. Following day, sata says I didnt atend coz it was commercial and I had no feeling. Meanwhile he did atend it. An argument of some sort ensues over party resolution not to atend coz presido says we never resolved. pipo, pse do not mess around with us. if pipo are luking to you fo change show maturity and consistency. I feel pity fo PF die hard supoters who cant see all this mess and are only seing it in other camps. woke up pse.
If Zambians were not such a stupi.d people (including myself), we would not have been wasting time discussing Mr Sata today. When we noticed his bad traits many years ago during his UNIP days when he was a young man, or even during his early MMD days, we would have guided him to grow into a responsible citizen with a heart for his country and his brethren if he wanted to be a leader in this nation. If he failed to change, we would have discarded and consigned him to the archives of history many years ago. Instead we have treated him all these years the same way that we treat our spoilt brats in our own families. That today Mr Sata is even being considered for political office is an indictment on all of us Zambians, our collective failure as parents, and our collective stu.pidity.
From #73 You will only raize suspicion and speculation if you should, without any tangible reazon, fail to pitch-up at the funeral of your mother, father, spouse, son/daughter and probably sister/brother. However, UBUNTU demands of us to mourn withe bereaved az long az we have had any form of interaction, “everything being equal”.
# 82 Katie Good,walasa bululu 100%
The only thing consistent with SATA is inconsistence, shame old man.You have lost it big time.
Someone tell me, do Zambian politicans have advisers?Look at Banda ,when the cpuntry expect him to lead he keeps quiet but responds to all sorts of rubbish. HH is the worst of the lot, he doesnt understand his job description,might as well join MMD. Sata did not need justify why he didnt attend the funeral. From the beginning it was clear he was not wanted .Any second rate political advisor would have told not to make the,”commercial” statement regarding the funeral.
Reason might be they surround themselves with useless YES men.
Yaba..but imbwa zoona ye…if somebody called you imbwa, would you be angry?….There is some dog logic here for sure.
NO VOTE FOR SATA KUMAWA. HOW CAN HE PARADE POST PAPARAZI TO LAY BARE THE KING OF KINGS IN A SICK BED. I WANT TO HEAR FROM THE NGONIS IF THIS IS THEIR CULTURE.. SATA HAS NO RESPECT LET HIM TRY WITH THE LITUNGA. NGONI IMPIS WHY DO YOU LEAVE YOUR KING WITHOUT PROTECTION.. PLSE LET SATA PAY FOR THIS INSULT..
I declare no POST newspaper kumawa for insulting the King of Kings (Inkosi yama nkosi). SATA tame your tongue, not fit for Zedi presido.
# 88 Let the patient sympathise with his fellow patient. There is no problem there. We know that it is just a political ploy, to show that he is well, but we can’t see desease with our bare eyes, neither can we see pathogens…but I am sure the serpent was really struggling deep inside.
It is real sad I do not know wt is wrong with us Zambians. U call sata a lot of names, he is sick cant be president he is old he says a lot of things he is an predictable today he says this 2moro another story RB same what else do you want us to do, Show us some one who we can trust because u who are okey you dont want to come out of your shells so that we see how clever u are.
# 90 YOU ARE A GOOD FELLOW MAY THE GOOD LORD KEEP YOU WELL UNTIL THE VOTING DAY. I CAN INDEED COUNT ON YOU TO MAKE PA ZEDI A BETTER PLACE FOR OUR CHILDREN.
There is too much hearsay in the article and third party stories, worst journalism at it’s best.
The thief is dead end of story. It is not politics, it is death and people die everyday.Let us move forward and think about what is good for this country not cheap politicking.
Sata only attends funerals where he has a ‘feeling’, what rrubbish is this?
Does Mr Sata understand the word ‘commercialised’? I have very strong doubts.
So the ‘king’ has public disowned sorry Lubinda.
The trouble back home is that we often lose track of what is essential. I know similar things happen everywhere else but we are over the top. Give over!!
How can Sata have feelings when he is numb with sickness? is Chainama hospital still operational? an admission there will help The Cobra to sick small small. he is completely FINISHED, yaaabaa, awee mweee.
As much as every one feels Sata was politicising the funeral by not doing what can be done by any body i.e not attend the funeral if you wish; pro MMD in the end have focus the attention on him and failed to mourn the former president as they should have. Every one’s comment was about what Sata did or did not do how boring.
The only reason why Sata did not attend the funeral of Corrupt,Mafia,womanizer,political engineerer Kafupi was because he couldnt avoid crocodile tears, he was so happy that he could not act to be sad, despite being sick. PF tried to make head lines out of this funeral together with that misleading paper Shame on you Political Failures, Given swallow your Pride and Join UPND,PF is making you look life a fool and will finish you. This is party which has no grounds, the only how to jump on what ever comes, the act before thinking or even discussing their actions. Poor Zambia
Sata is right not 2 attend to the funeral of ftj before u hurters start sayin some bullshit cheak at the statement given by the opposition party zambia is not a christain nation because these leaders are heppocrites as they do not foregive there felo friends so **** Zambia.
I think this guy or is it gay (Sata) should have genuine advisers. He should have attended the funeral despite all the funny stuff he said about late FTJ.
Can’t wait to watch Chanda Chimba’s episode.
IF I WERE SATA I WOULD KEEP QUIET AND SAY NOTHING ABOUT CHILUBA’S FUNERAL ..period!
I agree with Sata.. funeral too commercialised – and may I say I have no political affiliation whatsoever.. am talking in terms of humanity.. when will we learn to put our feelings before material gain (kulibonesha)!.. twachilamo fye ah!.. am not Jehovas Witness but I don’t celebrate Xmas for that reason. Much as I sympathise with the family on their loss.. I didn’t even watch the ‘commecialised funeral’ sorry… its sad.:(
Since when did this *****ic failure mumbi became a medical doctor.
zed politics sometimes make me sick. i wonder wether we are truely a chrisitan nation or it is just a joke. let sata and chiluba’s business rest. we have many issues affecting many people interms of social justice but we fail do address those issues on focusing of individual attack. people like mumbi they do not inspire me at all coz they are like a snake do all the can for survival purpose. can we focus on today main VCT WORLD DAY. this is today issue not who did what and what. tell me do all people who went for the funeral went there to mourn or kuchipwena? listen to a song from Jubilee choir of mufulira-isambo lyamfwa.
Sata, don’t be stu-pid, you old fart! Let FJT rest in peace nxt to Levy and just focus on campaigns. No wonder people were wishing you dead; you come back from bed rest and the first thing you spit out of your stinking mouth is utter trash!
Ba mudala i was supporting you for not attending the funeral and now you come up with such a lame excuse.I agree with no.105,keeping quiet would have been the best strategy.
