File:The Nalikwanda leaves Lealui.

Barotseland Freedom Movement National Secretary Mulasikwanda Chazele has refuted the announcement on Friday by President Michael Sata that there is a group of people trying to form a government in Western and that so far a Prime Minister has been appointed.

Speaking during a Press Statement in Mongu on Christmas eve, Mr. Chazele said he has learnt with deep concern the statement issued by Republican President Sata that there was such developments in the Province.

Mr. Chazele said as far as the people of Western Province know there is no prime minister in the land adding that currently the Barotse Royal Establishment (BRE) does not even have an acting Prime Minister (Ngambela) since the resignation of the late Maxwell Mututwa.

“ I would like to state very clearly that as far as we the people of Barotseland very well know is that there is no prime minister in Barotseland. Not even an acting prime minister (NGAMBELA) the last time we had a Ngambela is when late Mr. Maxwell Mututwa Mututwa held this high post in Barotseland.” He said since then, we had no confirmed Prime Minister (Ngambela) apart from one acting Ngambela Mr. Walubita who also passed on this year,” Chazele added.

He said people in the province are currently patiently waiting to hear the findings of the Commission of Inquiry into the Mongu fracas that characterized on January 14 this year.

Mr. Chazele further appealed to President Sata and the national at large to remain calm as people in Western Province are solidly behind the Patriotic Front government’s leadership.

AND Western Province Youth Dialogue Forum says the youths in the province have distanced themselves from people who are reportedly forming a state within the country.

Forum Vice Chairperson Enock Ntoka stated that young people in Barotseland are not part and parcel of efforts and claims made by selfish and hungry individuals to create anarchy in the province.

Mr. Ntoka told a media briefing in Mongu that those trying to create a state within Western Province are targeted on frustrating the PF government efforts is making to resolve the situation in the province.

“ We wish to appeal to our fellow youths in Western Province to remain united and engage in productive activities and reject selfish and scrupulous motives to divert the attention of government of building peace and development in Zambia, such errands are unfounded, unconstitutional, illegal, unconstructive, and against the laws of Zambia ” He stated

He said the young people in Western Province were not consulted hence they will not subscribe to such intentions or actions.

Earlier, Adolescents Reproductive Health Activists (ARHA) Director Brian Kayongo appealed to young people in the province not to entertain people who want to use them as tools of distraction.

Mr. Kayongo said the youths of Western Province have learnt better ways in which they can resolve their challenges hence they will not participate in any programmes that are not of help to their well being.

President Michael Sata announced that he was disappointed with Inspector General of Police Martin Malama for not taking action against people who are reported to have formed a state in Western Province.

The President also said that so far the purported state has already appointed its Prime Minister adding that there are currently looking for offices in which to operate from.

  1. IT IS GOOD THAT EVEN THE LOZI’S ARE FULLY AWARE THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST TRYING TO FRUSTRATE THE PF GOVERNMENT. YOU ARE DOING GREAT PEOPLE BY DISTANCING YOURSELVES FROM THE FOOLS BEING USED BY THE MMDs WHO’VE NOT GOTTEN OVER THEIR LOSS. NEXT TIME NEVERS COMES THERE STONE HIM TO DEATH!

  2. I would like 2 advise my fellow rotsees 2 remain calm as we watch whts happening. Remember we were promised & a promise is a debt until its paid in ful. Refer 2 the post # 5134 of monday November 8, 2010’s main headline. God bless our motherland

  3. Let MMD or PF deliberately have a Lozi as party president for the next election then deliberately we Zambians we shall come and vote for him in 2016. Then I can assure you this talk about the BA will vanish. All the people of WP want is to be given a chance to have one of them at plot one even for 1 term. A deliberate move at party level needs to be done. This talk of BA has destroyed the political fortunes of many good lozis at national level because everyone now views them as pipo who can not co exist with other tribes

  4. There has always been a position of Ngambela (Prime Minister) in the Barotse Royal Establishment, now surely is that what is causing sleepless nights for HE the president of Zambia? Little wonder IG Dr Malama was smiling when the president was speaking.

  5. Mr president must verify and investigate before making press statements, the statements he’s making are bringing unnecessary panic in the nation, he must learn to handle pressure and not to respond to every rumor, so far most of his statements have ended up not to be true.

  6. Bloody cowards we are still coming for you, you need sorting once and for all, this time shot to kill at least 1000 then you will know we mean business, GRZ land is not for you to play with.hope the nalikwanda has a missle defence system or is bullet proof

  9. @Simba Andeke: Trust me, the president gets security and intelligince briefings every day. He very well knows what he is talking about! It is just that these cowards are are now backing out because they realize how serious and dangerous the kind of games they been playing are getting—-treason ain’t something to kid around with—-someone will be hanged!!!!

  10. the youths of the province need colleges and atleast 1 university.orelse there will uncontrolled extrimism in barotse.GRZ has not built any reasonable college for barotse youths.the youths in liuwa and sikongo have never walked on any gravel road and have never heard any ZNBC signal.the whole of the province does not have any girls or boys boarding schools,peoples ` animals in baro are wiped out no one cares,most children in these areas have never seen a computer or nevr know a pre school.frm independence most schools are still in poles and mud.even bursary for the youths in barotseland is failling becoz they are not connected to any corrupt person in lusaka,western province is the only boarder place with un developed in frastructure in boader areas with angola and nam.70% of western prov

  11. @Starved man::,@Obatala::,@simba Andeke::,@blackbull::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::our President knows what he is doing, just because he is a people person you should not take him for granted, let all these involved in civil disobedience try and mess with him, you will see the cobra turn into a dragon, just you try, but accept your punishment. All you do is insult the president l bet you even dream about him to the extent of calling your wivies Sata in your sleep. You must get your rebel leaders prepared for treason, because HE MCS is here for 5 years–ahape mu 2012———–alimwi mu 2013———nafuti———-mu 2014——nakabil mu 2015 you have to get used to him being your president or l fear for your sanities badala

  12. Ya mbayamba u nja(imbwa in your tribe)stop being “I know it all”, you don’t like lozis and they know that,that’s why they want a step away from you period. They are not asking anything from you just a distance from your tribalism and corruption.balozi Ba zikonda meanwhile you form an all Bemba cabinet,who do you think is blind or dull?

    • @PF STRICTRILY FOR BEMBAS ONLY:
      W
      hat makes you think I am Sata’s tribe’s mate? Don’t let my name f,o.o.l you Mr. “I know very little”!!

  13. #blackbull ?????????????????? Our new govt has only been in power 3 months, and have not yet built anything for the youth in any other provinces; Luapula, western and many other provinces are in the same predicament, so your solution will be what? All the provinces to have extremists or do you want the terrorist only in western province. Are you an extremist/terrorist threatening our national security? We have people watching chaps like you. Do whatever you do in SA and please don,t put yourself in harms way, we shall not allow any single persons or grouping to distablize our nation, remember every inch of zambia is ours all us peace loving zambians, if you take the Mushala/Savimbi route, we shall oblige you and give you the same kind of ending they had. Good day

  14. I love Zambia so so much and have relatives all over the country but lozis are not the people you can push around at will,they are courageous people remember A wina was the leader of the movement that checked out KK.it was not a small matter at that time. You can only do good to talk with them. Let us learn from what happened in other country to protect ours and the future of our children.which lozi would want a passport to go to Lusaka ? You know the cry but you are so greed to share and you think unlishing the army can do.it never worked anywhere in the world show maturity and support only that which builds this country.if you are happy in chipata then sleep or fold your hands,lozis are not happy?

  15. The litunga is not aware of the Primeminister in Barostseland appointed.The litunga and Indunas are the one who appoints the Primeminister(Ngambela) which is normal.It is not possbel for the Prime minister to look for offices.The ngambela does not look for offices because he has an office in Lealui or Limulunga.Pipo must know the BRE how it works.Currently there is no Ngambela apointed and once that is done evry one will be informed.Remember the Lozi tradtion does not speak publicily but the ngambela makes anouncements of the decision of the Baroste National Council presided over by the Indunas( Ministers).Remember that the Barotse national Council has Likolos(ministries) .There is Likolo for Agriculture, likolo for Lands and fisheries, Likolo for forest, Likolo for finance, etc

  16. @20 l can not really agree with you, what do you mean its a bemba cabinet ? is Lubinda bemba what did you expect Sata to do give govt posts to people who never worked for them. Its like in a war my dear you reward not only your generals but these that fought with you shoulder to shoulder, like at the best posts in the uk govt if Cameron had his way people like May, Clarke, could not have those post but were given out of loyalty, just like the Litunga keeps his trusted lozi,s close not the nkoyos or mbundus. Ten years those people suffered with Sata he just had to reward them, thats just the way it is, Mwanawasa had a Lenje dominated govt, Banda eastern dominated, let a lozi become a president you will see,

  17. Mr Chazele is engaging in a sea-saw game with Mr Sata. One of you has to be honest. Mr Sata made a statement about western province having formed a parallel govt. He has facts and he is president. Lubinda is his guarantor that Mr Sata does not say issues from without. As a nation we want to believe what the president has said. Mr Chazele speaks in his capacity as secretary of Barotse Freedom Movement. What freedom movement is this figment of your own imagination? You are not truthful and we can not doubt the presidents words. If proven true you are commiting a treasonable offence. Law has to take its course and punish the culprits. Do not hoodwink Mr Sata. On the other hand if not true then Mr Sata is a liar.

  18. Himaabo I do not ask you to agree with me yes Lubinda is lozi but when I say Bemba cabinet I’m not looking at how many lozis are in the cabinet but the whole picture remember we have over 70 tribes in Zambia.if you have 80% of one tribe that’s a problem.I live in England too just like you so do not even bring in the English system in this snerio. How many tribes are in England ? What a foolish comparison you brought in! You can try any rubbish to support PF but in today complex world even babies are born sharper awake!

  19. @26 you are the fool fool my friend we are a GRZ, and we are a democratic country, no matter how much you cry it won,t change that we are all under HE MCS, cry all you like thats a FACT, you can insult the bembas, PF its no skin off my noise, but just know they shall never be a Lozi state accept it and get on with the program. l don,t care where you come from or the fact you are in uk, One zambia on nation, if do not like it tough on you Petty go jump of tower bridge or feed yourself to aligators the might enjoy you

  20. We know what is going on between Northern island and Cameron; the same things that were happening eve when Gordon or Tony was in office. So don’t lecture us about the going ons there. We can’t learn from that. We have other countries to from from.

  21. Hi maambo  I have no time for stupid carers like you I’m far ok wether Sata or chisenga is ruling I don’t give shit to small brains like you life goes on..

  22. @18 blackbull, does it mean if in your province there is no college or University you cant apply to any else where in the country. UNZA is in Lusaka but I met many Lozis there, na baTongafye abengi (pa mature square palya I was meeting them (Tongas) everyday talking about education and farming, very hard working people indeed – no malice am not even married from my provinces – I come from two provinces.) I dont understand your point. Care to enlighten me a bit? GOD BLESS ZAMBIA

  23. We need to break up this failed state called zambia and form our own successful Barotseland independent state.Zambia is a failed state and when we form our Barotseland state we will kick out these zambians in our land.Long live free Barotseland.

  24. time will tell,a clown will be dragged to ICC OR GO THE GADAFI way.u hav been very un just and un faithful to the barotse pipo.keep it up with yo threats.barotse are well connected and not afraid than u know.the creation of treason kaunda did topin down the barotse to cover for his theft of the barotse tresury are what should change with new constutution that is to be passed.we will never waste time with jokers any more.the battle is from the streets of limule to the court houses.for your information having a cabinet for barotse is not a new thing.they already hav offices,they already have miniters.its a functioning govt already.we our cot of arms,national anthem,parliament and speaker,supreme cout called the KUTA.Kaunda`s trck on the barotse has failled.
