President MICHAEL SATA has strongly warned Chief MADZIMAWE to desist from issuing threats of violence against Paramount Chief MPEZENI.
The President has also threatened to withdraw and revoke Chief MADZIMAWE’s recognition if he doesn’t refrain from issuing threats and derogatory remarks against the Paramount Chief.
The threats came in the wake of Paramount Chief MPEZENI’s calls for the removal of former President RUPIAH BANDA’s immunity.
According to documents obtained by ZNBC news in LUSAKA today, President SATA said the threats and conduct of Chief MADZIMAWE are in violation of the traditional leader’s duty under the Chiefs Act.
Mr. SATA also reminded Chief MADZIMAWE that the Head of State has powers to prohibit any erring person from any specified area if his presence is prejudicial to the maintenance of public order in such area.
The President also warned that he will have NO option but to withdraw the chief’s recognition if he continues issuing threats against Paramount Chief MPEZENI or any other person.
President SATA said he would consider whether Chief MADZIMAWE’s presence in the chiefdom would be prejudicial to the maintenance of public order to necessitate his removal.
Chief MADZIMAWE is alleged to have threatened to physically sort out Paramount Chief MPEZENI over his calls for the removal of the former President’s immunity to facilitate his prosecution for alleged plunder of national resources.

true cobra.uluse lwalile inkwale.the chief was right to give his views the way mpezeni did.ltes be serious
Signs of a dictator emerging.
Mr. presido mwalemwenamo ba mubwezeni kumudzi but u also doing the same thing wanting to revoke mudzimawe,were are we going
Kubija moyo wacintu eeci..mbulikumeso kwanchico!
We cant say anything in our own country? Any thing is said is faced with a threat from the President. We will soon be like the failed state of Pakistan and Banana Republics under a Dictator. Zambians!!! Fasten your seat belts….we will crash land soon…
Nonsense …. the two chiefs should beat the hell out of this Mpezeni to teach him a lesson that Ngonis will not allow their Mpezeni to be paraded at state house and to utter rebuke against easterners who have held high office.
I thought Zambia has a Ministry of Chiefs’ Affairs? Why should the president be involved in such matters? Some of these paramount chiefs are just a joke. And why is this Mpezeni always at state house. State house should be used for jokes commonly known as cimbuya.
Uncle snake! please don’t involve yourself in petty issues
policeman, rumor monger, kapaso, lawyer, Â …. these are signing of a dictator. playing with people’s emotions by carrying out populism like hunting down the sons of the ex-president because thats what pipo want to see, enforcing loyality even from chiefs from other tribes, promoting tribal tension so that one tribe feels more important than others ….. to zambians this is a warning. Mugabe did this to zimbos, before its too late, wake up!!!!! look at shonas in zim they feel they are more zimbabwean than ndebeles, thats what sata is doing to bembas ….. watch the space.
Sata; those powers you are quoting were under the repealed State of Emergency. Or are you about to reintroduce it? You are a very petty and vindictive person not fit for that high office. It is disgusting that the first order of business after recuperating from your Ethiopia trip is to issue a threat against a chief. Please use that office to unite Zambia, build infrastructure in the whole country and develop all sectors of Zambia’s economy. Stop viewing Zambians through the lens of ‘them’ and ‘us’. Otherwise you are just a pathetic excuse for a national leader! You are not taking Zambia anywhere but backwards.
Oh please! Where are we heading to?
The same chiefs will bring you down
Your excellence Mr. Sata you can’t do that because the former His Excellence RB was is down fall.
I warned you people. You are in for long live commedy with Sata. Mpezeni gave his opinion with sata blessing against Lupiya Banda. Other chiefs give their opinion against Mpezeni it becomes a crime and Judge Sata breathes fire in his judgement. This is the man you guys you will get anywhere. This man is a joke. He is like an octopus with so many legs that he steps every where and in every department of governanment. Jack of all trades. Keep watching the commedy. It’s live and it’s free but the price to Zambia will be high by the time Sata ‘s commedy is finished.
I’ve had that hppaen on more than one occasion. Eventually you learn to check all the power leads first thing.So, it sounds like you’re getting quite the education! You’ll be a PC tech in no time.
Ba Sata keep quite if you love your life. You will bewitched daddy if you not careful. We dont want state funerals again please
A Madzimawe muNgoni ndiye wanalume uyu. Osati chibelebeza cha munthu chuti mvwisha nsoni. Nsingo was a Ngoni warrior who stood up to the British. In the same way, A Madzimawe stand up for Ngonis in true warrior fashion. You will be vindicated.
madzimawe is threatening violence and ppo are praising him ati mwaume.let him defend RB without resorting to physical violence otherwise sata will descend on him.
Sata just keep quiet. Those saying that he will be wtched are wrong. Sata is already a sick man. Who would like to bewitch a sick man? Eastern chiefs are not so foolish to do such a think.
This guy is a china president. He doesn’t know what he is doing.
Where is the love? where is the democracy, and most of all where the hell are you taking us ba driver???
Mwemaafumu with due respect we have always told you to keep away from pet-politics and kick-backs this is the end result infighting among yourselves RB is at home relaxing!
So HH was right after all.But we hate him so much that whatever he says whether right or wrong we close our ears.Primitive
If this is the action that you people have been preaching then you need to think twice. Man of action- busy looking around for who to bite! Pure cobra . How long please?
Its unfortunate that the Presidents advisors are again failing to advise him well. Inonge Wina could have handled this matter outside the President s public view amicably. When shall we progress as a nation, I ask?
+1! I got mine 8 motnhs ago, and it’s dead with no reasons. PCB issue I guess. I can’t even decide if I will RMA it because I don’t want Seagate anymore, too much problems with their products.
Kwena Satana ulichipuba sana,you won’t last long.
Mwebantu…learn to differentiate between Freedom of Speach & Threats and Provocation meant to cause disharmony in a society! These people hold a high status in society & therefore need to lead by example. Do u mean if one chief starts insulting another, & another chiefs starts insulting the other & all these chiefs have allies & followers, will there be peace in this country? NO there will be no peace, there will be anarchy! & it is now when things are not heated up should the President intervene otherewise if he waits, it may be too late!! It is not a dictatorship it is his JOB as the Head of State to ensure that order, justice & peace prevails!!!
yaba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I suspect Mpezeni ni supplier
KAPASO!
We await comments from PF cadres, go on Italian Bunga Bunga, Kwekwe,etc. Where was Sata when Madzimawe chiefdom was established? Nsingo the defender of Ngoni kraal. Freedom of expression should not dethrone chiefdoms even where violence is un established. Sata will cease to be president soon, but Madzimawe is for ever and another president will find Madzimawe of old. The vexing issue is to have a president who thinks is not felt by the nation that he is one. That makes him take a stance of an opposition leader to be felt in the nation.
If you ask any sensible Ng’uni who they would rather listen to, they will tell you it is the senior chiefs Nzamane and Mazimabe. Njenge Jere is a lost cause and the most disappointing Mpezeni we have ever had. All he sees is the colour of money and the effects of hormones.
The problem with sata is that he is myopic to reality,just like RB though with him it` even worse he thinks he is immunine from un uprising.he doesn`t understand that people are not interested in all his nonsense if fighting corruption,people want to chart the way forward but the bustard does realise so.so let the dollar sky rocket and people`s purchasing power and poverty multiplies pamene azaumvela mwala.
when you fail to create jobs, you choose to quarell anyhow to seek cheap publicity. Lol and behold!
Ayese kumufumyapo Madzimawe, ndiye pati abazibe aNgoni.
aliye nzelu uyu mambala, satana wakanthu.
iHdd 2 Slim External Hard Drive Enclosure USB 1.1 / 2.0 for Apple iMac MacBook & PC (white) (Electronics)I got a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500 GB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive 2.5 Inch, 8 MB Cache, 5400 RPM SATA II WD5000BEVT to go with this for fun. All the drive does is click and the apple lhigts up. The drive works fine in a different case so I guess these are incompatible or the interface board in this case is bad.
