THE United Party for National Development (UPND) on the Copperbelt has advised Patriotic Front (PF) president Michael Sata to tame his loose tongue because his vulgar language is unacceptable.
UPND Copperbelt spokesperson Kennedy Kalunga said in a statement issued in Kitwe yesterday that Mr Sata’s language that the PF is the only political party that is attracting ‘buffaloes’ and ‘elephants’ unlike others which are attracting rabbits in apparent reference to councillors is unacceptable.
” UPND is therefore wondering as to when human beings have become animals. Mr Sata should therefore have respect in the manner he treats Zambians with his foul mouth which seems to be so loose…he should know that he does not own anybody in this country nor does he make anyone happy with his nonsense,” Mr Kalunga said
He also said the UPND takes strong exception to Mr Sata’s insinuations on radio Phoenix on July 9, 2011 that UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema entered into a pact with the PF because he had hopes of becoming president with the assumption that Mr Sata would die.
“This is completely rubbish and nonsense, because the opposite is true, it is Mr Sata who wanted to use HH and the votes from Southern Province to get to State House. UPND is therefore appealing to all Zambians not to be tricked into voting for Mr Sata because his bad record and vulgar language is there for all to see,” Mr Kalunga said.
He said voting for Mr Sata whom he described as a ‘flip flop’ and mediocre politician will be like sentencing Zambians to death.
“We would like to assure Mr Sata and his party that come the announcement of election results, he will be shocked because PF will come last in this year’s elections and that will mark the end of hispolitical career. That is when his blood pressure will shoot up, hence he should be ready to buy high blood pressure tablets in advance,” Mr Kalunga said

This is another under five statement from the king cobra.
sin came to man through a snake. how can a snake liberate man now. let us stop insulting people. i got this from the street. i did not like it. i hope you grow.
SATA’s biggest problem is to tame his tongue which has landed him in untold injuries. Issues to do with investors, chinese, gayism, and now rabbits. These are issues which make people quiver when they hear the name SATA. People like Chinese and other international investors find no hope in this monister SATA. What you said has started haunting you ored. Your oral diarrhoea is sickening, go to rest shikulu. Ifwe ni 20HH period.
At times the truth hurts no matter how well matters may be put across. Just enjoy political talk for nothing will change it.
iwe ka Kalunga, imbwa iwe! have respect for elders ala. im sure outsiders must be laughing at us very loud, where are the insults in Sata’s proverbial words you ignorant scam bag?? you are just exposing your low levels of education….is Sata so higly educated for most of you Zambians that you always fail to interpret his English, first it was the Homo nonsense now its this rabbit thing…give us a break by going back to Pre-school to learn basics in English ala!!!
That’s figurative speech please, they say SATA is illiterate i heard with my own ears he made that statement in reference to prominence this Kennedy Kalunga should go back to secondary school and redo English…. Shallow minds
@ Tru to my words. Did you do English in secondary school? Do you know metaphors? or have you heard of figurative speech? dot be shallow in your thinking…. Wise men in the past including Jesus used figurative speech so if you are not thinking deeply you will not understand
And who is this unwise kalunga that seems never to have been at school??? there you go eating with both hands and accusing mr sata on his wise interview! LT is this also news????
Ba kalunga, u need to go back to a, e, i, o, u before you can reach the simple level of english SATA knows. you are a shame to ur part and i wonder if that will gain you royalty to HA HA unless if he is a f…………o……………o……………….. end.
An MP and a Councilor all have one vote each. However, councilors are at the grassroot and will alyways have a lot of support. Some MPs are able to win coz of the councilors’ hard work. You can receive Carcases of dead Hippos and Elephants, who cares?
USELESS DADY.HOW CAN U THINK SO LOW.U R SHAME.FAILING TO UNDERSTAND SIMPLE ENGLISH.O WONDER U NEVER TOOK ME TO PRE-SCHOOL,
ZAMBIAN PEOPLE FORGIVE MY DAD.
Guys, that the calibre of leadership we seem to be having in the UPND. I feel sorry for them, but this makes me very very sad. Even my 5 year old son will understand that figurative speach by president Sata. I rest my case
be a person who tells the country the benefits of the future. do not be like your son. be a father and keep the nations like you were created in his likeness. i like you and God bless you. please get back to me. we need to be geting in touch. ngandu is my name.
RBsh story from a rbsh tabloid. The underfives want to be head now! You are headless chooks, no where to go!!!!
Kalunga is now trying to ape joe kalusa. He too will defect to MMD after dupping HH.
HE KNOWS WELL THAT WHAT SATA MEANT AND FAILED TO TWIST IT TO UPND’S ADVANTAGE!
Whether Sata said it Fugerative or metaphor or apparent reference This is a bad taste to come from a leader aspiring to high office. The best data would have done is shut his proboscis or just say for example .” we in PF are greatfull for receiving defections of gurant men and women and we know the grassroots such councillors who are a backbone of n paty will also follow”. Is that not wise ? shame on PF and sata
you must be the most st*****d person ever
uli cipuba sana iwe wine… utontonkanya netole nangu nechilofu?
Why say something that’s subject to interpretation? PF cadres never cease to amaze me! You want all of us to asume what your pangless cobra said?
UPND supporters should be the last people condemn figurative speeches refering to people as animals. What about HH calling the late former President FTJ (mhsrip) as a monkey in a maize field. It is okay for a dog to bite a goat and not the other way round. Shame to the under 5 go back to school and learn some simple basic idioms.
This is a signal that mediocrity is about to die out in my beloved country. Kalunga and his ilk are panting as the elephants pursue! Unfortunately the rabbits are also running towards the lions! It is either you are trampled underfoot or eaten whole!!!! Dig into the ground and disappear for your own good therefore.
you people you are letting our country down. as mature as we are we should be talking about cheap issues and people are reading. let us grow up and be more mature. do not boast about being small in mind. God bless Zambia.
PF ninswa while MMD and UPND nitunakapelele.
ala walipena! LMAO
upnd guys too much barking be it on radio or LT
Metaphors do not work in politics. You are dealing with people with high and low levels of intelligence. As a politician, you must watch each and every word you utter, otherwise every word has different meanings to different people. The late Levy learnt a bitter lesson on the use of metaphors when his use of the word dirty for corrupt people was completely misconstrued. Politicians, watch your tongues.
Oh please….. is the rabbit and buffalo thing really the most poorly judged and inappropriate remark the UPND can think of to criticize Mr. Sata for?
Now who has let loose the puppies of UPND???? Their barking & howling is really deafening!!!
Making nothing out of something.
Sata is just playing politics and that’s what PF and UPND are in it for. If UPND does n’t like politics they should disband and form a football team or a church choir instead. Politics is about assuming popularity and ascending to power to serve the people and Sata has done well up to now.
People People i need data,there is something am compiling.Does anyone in the world seen,heard or stumbled upon any charity work or donation by Sata.
That is irrelavant…..
Wanzelu, I think that is very cardinal. Please go on and compile that data its very important. Personally I have not heard on any charity work from PF president only promissory notes.
Wanzelu, my take is you’re a fine able bodied Man who is suppossed to ork for a living. I like sata for a reaon that he encourages Hard work among Zambians. No time for Charity work buddie, we’re a working nation with a working President.
Sata has no information to give to the nation,he is the most myopic leader in the history of zambian politics no wonder he will never enter the kingdom of state house.#3..Are you sure Sata is so highly Educated? ha ha ha shame on you,may God forgive you as you dont know what your are talking about.For your information,Sata is a Grade 4 dropout, no wonder he can not articulate National socio-economic issues.what a president shame!
It’s because of the fact that a Grade 4 dropout has achieved so much, much more than you will ever achieve in your lifetime that we will vote for him Viva SATAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
If he was trying to be rude he would have said monkeys haha. Daily Mail is really coming to primary school levels
That is what is called figurative speech. Sata was correct, PF has been receiving ‘heavyweights’ and he was referring to these guys as elephants and buffaloes not that he was calling them animals. I think that’s why some people even failed to appreciate Roy Clarke’s sattire writing.
They have to decampaign Sata.
There is no need to be puzzled by Sata’s language.
It is good that he will never be president of Zambia; I think it is enough that he is president of PF. I wonder if PF will stand after 2011 election when SATA loses. Does Sata intend to continue leading PF into electoral losses?
I think this time around SATA’s losses will be extounding.
FTJ use to complain of Sata’s poor spellings, no wonder later he just gave him a post as a minister without port folio(no ministry to run), but as a general player because he was just a good mobiliser in terms of campaigns of insults. Expecting Sata to tone his language is demanding too much from him.
But this guy Kalunga is so dull…how can a figurative language becomes an insult?
There is nothing vulgar with the terms RABBITS AND BUFFALOES you panks,that is a figurative speech.Why do these morones take things literal?
Very unfortunate that the UPND must uze every chance to get at Sata and the PF much to the amusement of the state media. Iz the elephant or indeed the buffalo any more animal than the rabbit in reality?
What is Figurative Language?
Whenever you describe something by comparing it with something else,you are using figurative language. Figurative Language is the use of words that go beyond their ordinary meaning. It requires you to use your imagination to figure out the author’s meaning. For example, if someone tells you that it is raining cats and dogs, you know that there are not actually cats and dogs falling from the sky. You know it really means that it is raining very hard.This is what SATA meant you guys must go back to school and learn English.HH must be laughing at his copperbelt spokesperson Kennedy Kalunga….THIS Kalunga guy together with the DailyMail writer are dunderheads.VIVA SATA YOU ARE AN INTERLECTUAL…
My bro, thanks for Educating MMD and UPND guys on figurative speach. Wonde why they went to school if simple stuff like that will pass them by
Ba daily monger why write anything and treat it as news. Don’t you have editors to sieve some of your news. Sure fye you havent heard of amapinda ne insoselo? havent you heard of parables I thought jounalists are taught about figurative speeches. M****** mwe.

kindly go thru the points limited below that urgently need to be addressed.
(a)The party has received as at today a total of $45m from our friends in Taiwan and afganistant to help towrds this year elections.we need to spend $300,000=00 per constituency. At the same time ,lets allow whoever wants to join us from the donate,but we let the grass roots pick candidates,apart from matero and Lusaka central where sampa and sara longwe will stand
(b)we need to find ways of keeping george ,mike and mbita in check as these are people that cant be trusted.let us not forget that these are the same people that were busy saying bad things on the party leadership. l also understand your misg
So if he said PF is receiving heavy weights and UPND lightweights, they would still complain that he is calling them skeletons!! very ludicrous
This is dangerous news to read from # 35. Please GRZ can you cage these thugs before they make this country a social club. Lubinda and PF have no heart for this country. Country men/women do you need angels to come and explain this to you. Let us not perish because of Ignorance.
May GOD save mother Zambia.
Those who cannot understand simple English should go back to school
“..political party that is attracting ‘buffaloes’ and ‘elephants’ unlike others which are attracting rabbits…” now that one is funny.

$45mm in your dreams FOOL
Useless propaganda,u re not going anywhere.
Honestly what is wrong with this analogy of using animals for comparison purposes? Please spare us from your ignorance.
No wonder UPND is ignored most of the time.
By the way, Rupiah is the most vulgar leader Zambia has ever had
There is nothing wrong using figurative language please ka Kalunga iwe twakupapata, dont try to divert peoples attention to your stupid low level of thinking, Galu iwe. Keep quite and let Sata show you pigs that you are not a factor by receiving your fellow RABBITS and not BUFFALOS
KALUNGA, READ THIS…….SATA NI NSHIMBI, ABASHALA NI BA NGWELE……….. SEEING THAT YOU’RE EMOTIONAL, NGO LEFWAYA KAIKULIKE KUCHIMUTI CHA NTOMBOLYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!………YOUR PARTY, UPND IS IN THIS ELECTION AS SPOILERS……BUT YOU WON’T MANAGE TO CAPSIZE THE CHIBWATO……..WE KNOW OF 5 BIG NAMES FROM YOUR PARTY WHO WILL SOON DEFECT TO PF……….HH UMWAICHE NALUBANA……HE HAS NO DIRECTION………
Thats y Sata he wii never get a single vote in rural areas becoz he likes using metaphors and figurative speech wen he z campagning in rural areas
I thought Rural areas are synonymous with ‘IDIOMS’ Amapinda
WHAT ARE IDIOMS TO YOU. NEVER BEEN TO SCHOOL? TAME YOUR BRAINS TOO!!
This the problem with under fives. They take things literally. Ka Kalunga figurative language has never been an insult. I bet you will only know this once you “grow up”
both UPND and MMD propaganda is in a mess
CHIEF JUSTICE MUMBALAFYE
Kwena Kalunga ulichikopo can u fail ‘”sheep! sheep! come on”, “we are afraid” olo “sit like kalulu(Leo) and not like Jumbo (elephant). echo wabutukile ku sukulu iwe ka RABBIT. Try to consult your fellow rabbit Joe Kalusa
whenever u read insults its a pf carder that might have written it.Thats how these kaponyas behave no issues to raise.
From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: I deserve to win!!! Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2011 09:19:07 +0200 Bambo, these PF characters are getting on my nerves. We had better hurry up and think of something, my friends claim they are running out of funds for their neocolonialist plot facilitated by us, and are advising us seek funds elsewhere like Congo. Kindly forward me that $100m we got from our Nigerian conman friends so I can go to a fancy hotel, I haven’t tasted a chicken in a basket for about 3 days imagine. With regards to causing confusion and postponing the elections for ever, I have to await word from Ukraine on the arms delivery. And can’t you stop travelling so much please, I need you to organise my future position. Remember you need me also… blablabla
And if anyone is dim-witted enough to start whining about the above fake email, it’s JUST A JOKE like the other one
KALUNGA! KALUNGA! You are not a zambian, may be from ituri forest. Haven’t you heard some Zambians EVEN call themselves “T—- BULLS” Are they animals for sure. chakukalipa fye Sata aleteka uno muku, go rot somewhere
@Patriotic Zedian Hope your are using an internet cafe,timely warning you can be tracked.
Patriotic Zedian – Please stop been a dunderhead. We’ve been through so much propaganda this year that nothing is going to deter us anymore.
These BEMBAs talk too much that they even go to an extent of fighting each other. I have attended some Provincial Development Cordinating Committees in which all they do is quarrel among themselves i.e. MPs, DCs, and traditional leaders. They have ended up building markets along the roads which have ended up becoming white elephants. I cant be surprised to see the untold under development in Northern Province. Poverty is as rampant as no where I have been in Zambia. Fish is almost in extinction, wild animals are difficult to come accross. Plenty of water sources and arable land but still poverty is grinding.
if only you would stop being a tribalistic CAT
You’re suc an I’diot you f’ool. Stop thinking with mediocr’ity
Is SATA PF life president? And if by any chance (God forbid ‘became Head of State’ wud he let go presidency? You Sata’s minniowns please adivse pls! And can few of the learned PF cadres educate you followers especially at stations to tone down on vulgar languange pls? Tel us also if you uphold the ‘christian notion concept for Zambia?
SATA IS JUST INGNORATE POLITICIAN DESPARATE 2 GET TO STATE HOUSE BUT SORRY YOU ARE DOOMED.
MORE OVER I KNOW WHAT YO USELESS CHILDREN AND WIFE PLAN WHEN THEY ARE GIVEN CHANCE TO BE IN STATE HOUSE U FOOL
The problem with the BEMBAs is that they are too smart and all want to be in town. They have run away from their villages to towns where they get informal jobs such as call boys, marketeers and politicking. Ilukeni bane, your villages are falling apart!!!!!
this man behaves like a kid..he has no respect for others..sata will never rule..we don’t owe him the presidency..you pf maggots tell him that!
You wish, I should dawn on you that come rain come sunshine Sata will be President this year. That wil happen whether you like it or not
@ Brainee i am Ushi from Luapula, Mansa and chief Kasomalwela what tribe are you? Some of you cant even avail you tribes because you are not proud go to Mansa and take a look.
Metaphors, adages, sayings…….
#60 Q & A, colleague! The truth hurts just like a salted wound. Luapula in not Northern, dont expose your ignorance on this blog do get me. Its true what am telling you. I am very Namwanga. These BEMBAs are good at yappimg and not doing. Period and I have no regrets on my statement. I mean it because it pains me to see more than 7 political party presidents are coming from the North. Cant these people find other better things to do but engage in politics. Do your research properly and come with your evidence on tnis blog. Waiting!!!!!!!!!!
Q&S, JUST TAKE A SURVEY BY ASKING ALL THE BLIND BEGGARS IN TOWN WHICH TRIBE THEY ARE? You must be one of the few Bembas who know your roots, or is it that people cant trace their roots coz of the Zambia Congo boarder?
Sata was tossed from one ministry to another by FTJ untill he ended up with Ministery without Portfolio coz he was unable to understand policy maters. All the PSs he worked with had a hard time controlling him, I worked with him at health. Ever had anyother Minister without Portfolio after Sata? FTJ only kept Sata coz of his zeal and gift in organizing. But this to some people is a plus to Sata.ALL THE MAN KNOWS IS TO ORGANIZE A PARTY,PERIOD!
State house would be like asking a man to fly a plane just because he can ride a bicycle or paddle a canoe on lake Tanganyika.
So only the animal metaphor has caught Kalunga’s eye I see. What about the part of taking over dead people’s parties??? Was that an insult, or was it spot on???
i strongly feel dis is jst a mata of simple logic,ba kalunga u rily v exhibited poor reasonin and judgement on dis mata.there is nothin rong wid de statment mde by mc, no wonda no member of de top brass of de upnd has comented,othawise dey would dimed pety n trivial
Imwe bonse, why are these politicians not debating issues, how are people supposed to make good and well informed choices when all these politicians are busy bickering about all manner of nonsense – LT – it is about time you organized a debate among all these contenders – discuss issues that are pertinent to the well being of zambians.
TL – STOP covering nonsense and force all these politicians to talk about real issues. you have an obligation to fulfill and not anything goes
Does anybody know the schools Sata attended here in Zambia or better still Northern Rhodesia? I would like his classmates to give us his intellect achievement while at school.Did he ever pass any class test in English?
I’m one of Sata and PF’s fiercest critics, but this time I will support Mr Sata and say people should not misunderstand his sense of humour. I think UPND are over-reacting and being childish. Ofcourse Sata didn’t mean anybody to be rabbits, he is not that stupid…the only person appearing silly right now is Kennedy Kalunga and UPND. We must learn to laugh even in the middle of election campaigns. That is why maybe Sata tends to attract more people because he has a sense of humour and HH has absolutely no humour – I have never even seen HH smile before. C’mon, cheer up – you are taking yourselves too seriously. People tend to vote for people who are human…
So Mr Sata admits that UPND is using a grassroot strategy hence the rabbits, and PF is trying to win from the top by pinching ‘elephants from the MMD. how about Mumbi, former SG for an elephant then? No MMD Sg has gone to PF yet
I don’t know what is wrong with some under five chaps. Do you always need to speak word by word as if you are talking to some under five? Just try and deduce what the man meant. If you can!
This all foolish,a name is a name,Zambia national team chipoloppolo,flying stars,red bull,green bufallo’s and so on.KK other name is Chibwinza,
Some of the bloggers – Not so wise after all, like Wise Man (#57) – INGNORATE,DESPARATE, MORE OVER. What is this? Is it that you are so full of hate to PF and its Leader and consequently you can’t even think,spell, reason correctly???
Go and read Animal Farm! You say PF is for the uneducated? The man is more educated and experienced than you are.
Kaponyas party. mr sata is very popular with kaponyas because tHey share the same characteristics. he lives in rhodespark/ northmead at his age instead of a small holding or farm. we have never heard him talk about growing any agricultural product or even watering a garden.
# 73 Iye, there is no proof that sata is educated. even chiluba confirmed that he cant read and write. an educated person always has former classmates. but this man sata doesnt seem to have any
Why do we call our teams names like, Chipolopolo,Bufaloes,tigers,leopards. We don’t mean that the people are animals. It shows the strenghth of a team. Iwe mwaice Kalunga elyo wapwa. Kalungeko fimbi.nabana bobe balekuseka ati ka dad kanangwa.
History has a tendency to repeating itself only the price doubles. HH came to be leader of UPND via a tribal backdoor. If HH forms govt, God forbid, all positions will go to Tongas. I remember at Kantashi Sec Sch way back in the 70s Tongas and Lozis were vey to identify because they tended to stick together and would not allow any outside into their groupings. Lozi are much more flexible than Tongas. I wouldn’t vote for one but would vote for anyone from NW, WP, EP, LP,CP, LP (Lusaka), CB,NP.
please, forgive sata. He has become too old to raise even his arm. AMAKA YAALIPWA. Look at the picture!!!..HH’s being likened to a rabbit simply indicates that he is too clever and swift & will easily win the race..the cheetah is also in the upnd camp… HH FOR 2011….GORIATH huge as he was, was knocked down by DAVID a small man.
#17 hahahahahahahaha you made me laugh almost to death yaba……….. On a serious note if HH was in PF i can bet every Zambian would have voted including myself but in God’s own plan he is in the tribal party no hope…….. but politics is but a dirty game so people should understand ba SATA’s verbal words but the hour has come he is ruling this time around
let the man speak,wu has ever quetioned RB,wem he speak,we av the lyt to tok.:d:d:d
HH en UPND u ar particpating on a losing battle we ar coming to ya once we ar done wth mmd.u wil remain wth only chakafuswa ur brother.wait 4us.we ar coming to distroy …..viva pabwato.
kakoswe….lol…PF viva
Go go HH and the migthy upnd bazalema chabe
shool is very vital..look at how satana articulates issues..always speaking like a thug kaponya..awe..we don’t want such leaders..better RB n HH..
CAN SOME ONE PAY TUITION FEE FOR KALUNGA TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL, SATA WAS USING FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE AND NEVER INSULTED ANY BODY. EVEN A PRE-SCHOOL CHILD UNDERSTOOD THAT. IWE KALUNGA ULETUSEBANYA GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND LEARN YOUR ENGLISH, UBUKOPO IWE!!!! & ALL THOSE BLAMING SATA FOR USING FIGURATIVE SPEECH PLEASE STOP, YOU ARE JUST EMBARASSING YOUR SELVES OF HOW IGNORANT YOU AS FAR AS ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS CONCERNED.
I think mr Kalunga is right but the truth they are both receiving dead buffallos coz mmd is strong and please am not drunk i just had a box of Bado
This is actually not a story. Ba Dead Mail balibe vochita They ve run out of propaganda to attack Sata with
