Former Republican vice-president Enock Kavindele rebuked people alleging that he was accompanying President Banda on his nationwide campaign trail because government has given his company to construct a railway line in North-western province but because President Banda was a progressive leader.
“Mr. Banda was a progressive leader who will take Zambia forward unlike the opposition presidential hopeful who had empty promises,” he said. He said President Banda has a good heart and passion for all Zambians.
Mr. Banda got concerned that Zambian people were being derailed by cheap claims by the opposition over Mr. Kavindele.
“What is wrong with Mr.Kavindele being given a project to construct a railway line. Is it because he is moving with me,” he asked.
Earlier, President Banda says he is happy that Zambia is making positive economic strides under his administration.
Mr. Banda said it was gratifying to note that Zambia’s economy was growing since he assumed presidency within a period of just three years.
President Banda noted that he is evermore geared to continue building on from what his predecessors, Dr Kenneth Kaunda, late Dr Frederick Chiluba and Late Dr Patrick Mwanawasa , had done so far.
ZANIS reports the President saying this in Solwezi today when he addressed civil servants, defense chiefs and senior government officials held Kasanshi hotel.
He said that more Zambian people are participating in nation building through viable business ventures as the country’s economy was now liberalized since 1991.
He said he was not satisfied that Zambians cannot be productive people as some opposition leaders were alleging. He has implored Zambians to be careful with such leaders.
” In countries where I have been, there are putting up massive businesses and I’m convinced that Zambians too can do that,” he said.
Mr. Banda also interacted with civil servants, business community, church leaders who attended the meeting.
He said Lumwana mine the then Equinox mines Limited paid to government K260 million in form of dividends.
“ Government was on track to collecting more revenue from potential firms going at the rate the economy was growing, “ he said.
He further disclosed that Lumwana mine which started with an initial US$8 billion had been sold at US$ 8 billion to the new owners.
He further stated Government is determined on infrastructure development so as to improve the key sectors of the economy among them the health sector.
He clarified that housing empowerment scheme was not a political ploy to hoodwink Zambian people but said it was a policy of MMD which is a party in Government.
Mr Banda has disclosed that Government has sourced funds to construct a modern university for the medical doctors in Ndola on the Copperbelt province.
He hoped that doctors from Congo DR, Tanzania and many other countries would now come to Zambia instead of Zambian doctors going outside the country in search for greener pastures.
They are obsessed lovers of poverty and incorrigible haters of prosperity.
Losers with their PHD syndrome expect ingenuous Zambians to fold and alienate themselves from the people’s Government for no apparent reason. Alienate from MMD then align with who when there is no alternative to pragmatic RB’s people centric, pro-development and all inclusive national trajectory?
Kavindele and RB are going into oblivion this year. Kavindele is dead broke. The monkey issues a cheque on an insufficient funded account to a pump supplier in Lusaka for K3million. He has equally dumped a VW Golf at Gearbox Centre in Lusaka for failure to raise 11million for repairs. I feel so sorry for these 2 bafoons, but what pains me is the fact that Katele Kalumba should have been abit truethful. Katele know Rupiah is loosing and should have confronted him when he went to Luapula Province instead of lying to him. DONCHI KUBEEEBA
Please someone help me the divinded is it K260,000,000 ( Kwacha) or is it a clericla error it is $260,000,000 (dollars)
If Kavindele thinks he will use Rupiah to steal money from NFCA on Mining rights for Mukulumpe Farms (which he only had surface rights for and run the once vibrant Nchanga Farms into oblivion, he will have it coming). Your saviour will be no more after September 20th and watch this space…. Ni MWAMUKOLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Why is Enock Percy Kavindele behaving like a teenager who has just lost his virginity? He is so excited travelling around with his beer bellied, barbacue eating former villager who answers to the name of Kanitundila. Kavindele belongs to sewers, a namazai !!!

Massive investment, more opportunities to hardworking Zambians and secured Zambia for patriotic citizenry. MMD, a people’s ruling vehicle for all. MMD mandate means Zambia’s thriving democracy, national food security through bumper harvest, mechanized agriculture, national security from internal and external interests, doom for lunatics now rehearsing genocide rituals, more capital expenditure delivery of new hospitals,, schools, bridges, improved roads and social amnenities for all. MMD only party with structures and filed nominations in all 150 constituencies. MMD an unparalleled dynamic people’s power platform tested and proven.
Foool
Senior Citizen, In your dreams. Your boss in cooked this year. The best you can do is Ask people like Katele for his honest unbiased opinion. He will tell you Rupiah is loosing. Even KK knew it was all but bullcrap and decided to go to Namibia trying to avoid your going to him to give you false endorsements. You’re but cooked my friend.
Who doesn`t know that kavindele`s a.ss is broke ? The chap is just a shadow of his old self no wonder he is walking up and down shouting “God bless kanitundila”.
old politicians regrouping so that they continue blocking the young ones,very selfish indeed! Am sure you felt the heavy presence of HH in NWP. ABAICHE BALETEEKA 2011. It is only a foolish farmer who can think of planting the OLD seed now and reserve the NEW seed for the next season.
Dont be cheated the man kav has got cash as for mukulumpe he sold it ages ago
Good evening
Local businessmen investing in local projects (e.g. infrastructure development) are needed everywhere to foster nation building but what we need in our African society are innovative businessmen with a free mind of their own who can sell their ideas authentically without sharing any politician’s opinion. There is no doubt that businessmen need to be in dialogue with the leadership but this should be for the purpose of serving the citizenry and not for securing a bright future for themselves. People around the world are no longer are afraid to express themselves and once they feel that they are being sidestepped or repressed by the high society, they will begin to tear down barriers (it recently happened in London).
no, 13 – BaKitwe, Kavindele is broke to the bone. Remember that Rajan Mahtani’s Finsbury park was grabbed from Kavindele because he owed Mahtani alot of money. He is just but a shadow of his old self. On Mukulumpe Farms it was still in Kavindele’s name, until the Chinese applied for Mining rights and now a chancer who he is wants to reap where he did not sow. You’re cooked my friend.
Most of u bloggers like insulting.Does it mean u are tot insults by ur king of insults the cobra
There are no useless comments today, where is MUSHOTA girl?
Indeed were is she, Eish I miss that girl
That is how hopeless things have become in Zambia, you have bootlick to win a contract. At the momment HH is the best bet for Zambia. Sata and Rupiah Banda have the political experience which Zambia does not need right now. Zambia needs somebody who will bring the executive culture to the presidency and the incompetent public sector. Viva HH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HH has no chance his tonga tribal party will disappear soon
RB Kanitundila..kikikikikiki!! If we vote for u,history of Kanitundila will repeat it self coz those monkeys already know you.We don’t want umusebanya again.Nipa Bwato mwaiceee!!
Can someone help me to clarify on the dividend paid by Lumwana, K250 million??! Lumwana started with $8 billion, sold for $8 billion???, I fail to understand this hocus pocus, a $8 billion investment paying a measly K250 million as dividend, something is very wrong somewhere. MMD must go and this corrupt leader must be jailed together with the Finance minister, you can’t let this kind of incompetence to continue.
Kavindele=NASTY BRIBED…!
#20 steve,
those crooks plunder Zed
but Time is running out….
just an example : Mopani
According to NGOs in its pilot audit by Grant Thornton, the govt lost an estimated income of USD 175 million in tax revenue between 2003 and 2008 and zccm-ih lost $300 million !!!
At least, $ 500 million !!!
“The auditors found that MCM resisted the pilot audit at every stage. The company’s book-keeping was incomplete, several legally required documents were lacking and the general ledger analysis showed several loopholes and couldn’t be matched with the trial balance,” the organisations stated. “The auditors also found an inexplicable doubling in the costs of the company between 2005 to 2007, which shows that the company has been artificially inflating
continued
its costs to minimise the profits shown in their books so that they could pay less taxes. Despite the fact that the audit was finished in the fall of 2009, it was kept secret.”
The Zambian government has declined to investigate Mopani’s tax affairs despite calls from development charities. “We are disappointed with the government’s lukewarm reaction,” said Savior Mwambwa, executive director of the Centre for Trade Policy and Development, Zambia. “They need to take action and change the whole taxation system.”
The govt has been knowing this swindle because it has a representative on board through ZCCM-ih
and rupiah closes his eyes !!!??? and he heaps praise on Mopani Copper Mine’s Social Responsibility !!
continued
$20 m, a crumb vs at least $500 million !
Who would have the cheek to affirm Rupiah and his govt are not corrupt ?? WHO ??!!
As if we dont know kavindele,the chap is broke,he is a good example of a failure.He failed to run against KK,he failed to run his party,he has afiled to run his companies,woodgate holdings,KB Davies etc.He failed as veep and now being reduced to bootlicker.what a shameless parent together with his twin fool BY.Foolish X foolish = bunkrupt.
Blessed is that monkey that pissed on RB,the curse of that urine will soon manifest.To be pissed on by a monkey of all the animals,ask the chinese nthey have an interpratetion. of this
Does the guy even know the difference between Dividends, Royalties & Taxes?????
Dividends – only if you are a shareholder, if K260M, I wonder how many shares the govt holds, something less than 1%, & RBish is proud of that????????
#22 you are very right, But with chaps like Mutati what do you expect??
Kavindele Sat 28 Nov. 2009Kavindele said he would continue criticising the mismanagement currently happening under President Rupiah Banda’s “mediocre leadership”.He said he was an MMD member and as a citizen was entitled to air views over the management of the party and the nation.“Also as a citizen, I shall continue commenting on the management of the economy and the suffering arising from corruption. For instance, in the procurement of petroleum, it does not only affect MMD members, everybody is affected. The intended fraudulent sale of Zamtel concerns all citizens and therefore, whether in MMD or otherwise,” said Kavindele.
Mon 02 Nov. 2009, 04:01FORMER Republican vice-president Enoch Kavindele has said President Rupiah Banda and his sons’ greed is about to bring Zambia’s economy to its knees.In an interview on Saturday, Kavindele blamed President Banda for the current fuel shortage the country was facing.“It’s unacceptable that Rupiah and his sons’ greed is about to bring the economy of Zambia to its knees,” Kavindele said. “Banda must immediately give the same concessions he has given to his sons to the oil marketing companies OMCs so that we have fuel,” he said.He said President Banda was overloading his sons with businesses that were too big for them to handle.
28 Nov 2010Kavindele said whereas in the past there had been too much hero-worshipping, even worshipping inefficiency, the Zambian people had now shown that they would not accept mediocrity.“Yah this leadership is mediocre. That is why we are now losing ward elections in areas that were 100 per cent MMD,” Kavindele said.
Senior Citizen:June 18th, 2010 at 7:14 pmKavindele will always be against the people’s Republic of Zambia. This is because the man has failed in all he has tried including being fired as the Republican Vice-President. This is a shame to his tribesmen in Northwestern province and his sponsors in Angola. The guy is a traitor and a threat to national security. Kavi would do anything to make a buck regardless of the method used. The truth out their is that he may have been involved in the late finance minister’s death-Ronald Penza over a deal gone bad! Wait until the government reopens this case and Kavi will be no more and locked up in prison.
Senior Citizen and Kavindele are like Twins.
Senior Citizen rot in hell!
RB’s question: “What is wrong with Mr. Kavindele being given a project to construct a railway line. Is it because he is moving with me,[?]”
The answer, Bwana President, is what you have stated in the last part of your question! In other democracies this would be regarded as a “CONFLICT OF INTEREST” and would be vigorously investigated. Since in your govt (MMD govt) you seem to be the lone TENDER BOARD COMMITTE MEMBER, that is why people are questioning the true loyalty of people you have awarded huge contracts to and are now campaigning for you. This is a CLASSIC definition of “you scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours.” In short, a CLASSIC CASE OF CORRUPTION—I will give you a contract if you can deliver NWP for me—a form of QUID PRO QUO, and that is a problem sir!
We are not fools EK, we understand you. All the best

It’s all sad to see that since the death of his brother in-law former UNITA leader General Dr. Jonas Savimbi, Enoch Kavindele Sr. has never been a normal person. I recall how he kept framing up and insulting late Mwanawasa especially after his South African oil scam was blocked and blown off leading to his unceremonial dismissal. I think blood diamond money is haunting him. He has realized that even after Savimbi, his then deputy General Antonio Dembo and Pedro “Tito” Chingunji are gone, he has no safe haven from top brass UNITA Generals after their money. He is too desperate to meet the terms of General Abreu Kamorteiro, then UNITA secretary general Paulo Lukamba – better known as General Gato, Marcial Dachala, Isaias Samakuva, Unita’s former

He is too desperate to meet the terms of General Abreu Kamorteiro, then UNITA secretary general Paulo Lukamba – better known as General Gato, Marcial Dachala, Isaias Samakuva, Unita’s former representative in Paris, and Abel Chivukuvuku, a current member of parliament. Swallow the fire baba on your own.
Ba EK mulichipuba fye. Do you think pipo dont know your history. On critical issues such as the contract you have been given you can even walk naked in the street if you are told to by the person signing your contract. I am seeing your nakedness in the way you are behaving.
poor EK. Think and be a man.
I have said it before. Those who are demonising Kavindele over his project are not looking at the bigger picture. Kavindele will employ so many people , and ,may be including the people who talk ill of him and their children. Probably by the time the construction of the railway line is complete, Rupiah will not even be president but the project will be there.The problem with PF suppoters is that they are not objective. This man is going to employ over 2,000 people and that is excluding those that are already working in his other companies. Surely the man deserves a pat on the back and not insults! Tell us which people your Sata has employed.
What is K260 million for a whole president to be excited about? Is this not someone’s salary in Zambia. So how can a whole mining company pay those peanuts in dividends? There is now no doubt that Zambia is being ripped off by the investors and MMD politicians.
Zambians we have a very dynamic leader in RB. Everyone needs time to find their feet in relatively new environments. RB could have miscalculated at one time or another but being a practical and progressive leader he has managed to turn Zambia’s limping economy into one that is vibrant and an envy world over. He definetly needs another 5 years. He has a legacy to leave after his final term,that is, the president who led Zambia to prosperity and a scandal free nation. VIVA RB
Mr.Kavindele could have uttered all that has been attributed to him before he had privy to the real situation on the ground. There have been rumours abound on the president and his close family being involved in corrupt practices but nothing has been proved. The nation waited in vain for Mr. Mpombo to prove his arm’s deal involving our respected first family but was disappointed as Mr. Mpombo was merely playing a flute to the gallery. The first family is as clean as a whistle,that is, corrupt free. Bring evidence and our investigation wings will swing into action and bring any first family member to book
This is the man (ENOCK KAVINDELE) who stood in Chingola one time against Sondashi and failed lamentably. He donated a hearse (Mandamanda) before elections. But after loosing he grabbed it back to Lusaka, what a former Vice President. By then I was very young and I could stil remember that scene. Even RB himself is embracing the copper thieves on the copperbelt. A candidate in Wusakile is still facing copper theft allegations worth 2 billion Kwacha. What a shameful thing for MMD. This man is from a family which used to terrolise Kitwe residents. Copper Copper family, where are RB`S morals?????????
please civil servants in north-western part of zambia dont be cheated by those pipo mr enock kavindele had been a vipe but he did nothing for and your and brothers in that area that he come and cheat you today. enough is enough for the MOVEMENR FOR MAD DOGS
Kavindele you are a fake, RUPIAH is known for bribing you through you RAILWAY project. You MONKEY. You have no morals at all!!!!
For sure RUPIAH BANDA will bring the same religious fighting that are being experienced in NIGERIA.
RUPAH is a bad leader, for goodness saka how does RUPIAH single handedly give a plot to MUSLIMS in a place where there are no PLOTS in Lusaka?
Did RUPIAH and the MMD get some election funding?
Kavindeeeeeele or whatever your call your please stop being childish and come to your senses for once. I agree with blogger #30 Sure its not long ago when you were issuing unpalatables against this greed creature you have now turned into an angel. This in fact proves that this man is not a right man to lead this country because he is corrupt to the core. Sure Kavindele if you have no shame in yourself do you at one time reflect on what words you used against this so called farmer concerning the oil deals which involved this man’s children? How can you turn around and start praising the person you despised two days ago and today he becomes the hero. No no no Zambian lets not give chance to these opportunists like kavindelwe and his new found angel. Poverty is indeed a disease.
Even a blind man can see through your intentions Mr Kavindele, With the contract you’re not a threat to these plunderers. Good Luck, But you may be visited one day Sir
