How sad that insults have chacterized our politics. It is sad that this trend can be associated even with those in power today and the Post News Paper too, this is with regards to articles when Levy and RB were in plot one. There is need to realize that insults or demeaning others does not help a nation at all. However, PF govt should also take an examination of the current situation in the country could be that the levels of frastrations in the individuals are high due to a number of factors which will need to be addressed. This is because no govt can take all its citizens into prison for defaming its head of State. Some of the factors 1. trablism & nepotism 2. Corruption 3. failure to leave up to promises by PF govt
uli wa mano mune. Your points here are very true. i Like thinkers like you keep it up.
CNP CNP CNP CNP That is the true description of Satan and Problematic Fools Party.
Was this sata not the person who was busy yapping all sorts of  unprintables on Levy and Banda? What makes him so special than these noble wise men who kept this nation well? The only thinf this pf thing has suceeded doing is to divide the nation of Zambia into tribal zones. CNP CNP CNP CNP Iseni fye mutwikatate naifwe. Chimba warned us already so we are fully aware.
By the way how is happy witht the power cuts being experienced at the moment? May be PF supporters are happy.
what did he say?Â
Zedpoorpeple come on!!!!!!!!!! You also experinced the worst power cuts ever during MMD tenure of office.
You should be reasonable Africa, you must alocate a blame on MMD for creating the serous problems that we are facing today beacuse there are the ones that promised to bail us out of POVERTY……..one person ruled for 2 terms and the only thing an average citizen benefited from that was freedom of movement to mention a few except 10yrs of poverty, undevelopement, dipression, opression and lies………”1 wicked mind 10yrs of poverty”. MMD has changed three leaders and from these only the Late Mwanawasa did something significant to our economy and whatever developments we enjoying to day. In simple terms, i must say MMD failed to complete their mission.
:o
Well, what did the MP say, did he refer to the president as Cobra (snake)?
Zed Poor People, even us, the PF cadres are not happy. But we understand the gravity of the problem. It has not started today. It developed steadily over the last 10 years. We need massive investments in power generation. Do you think we have short term means to mitigate against this incovinience?
Countrymen, dont police have more serious cases to pursue? Defamation of the President is a colonial penal code provision that adds no value to the dignity of the presidency. Some1 ‘insults’ a president in a bar of which 10 people hear it, is this a sufficient scale to warrant jail? Levy was called cabbage – who was jailed? Pitifull indeed!
I think the MP defamed the president by saying that he is an effective leader, who is compassionate and does not believe in tribalism. The MP also said that the president knows what he is doing  and highly effective, consistent in his words and actions and bears no malice whatsoever against his political foes.Â
These MMD chaps should be caged up fast and very fast so that we can take our children to see them behind bars as we do see the animals at Mundawanga. HH…. HaHa, HiHi, HoHo, HeHe…..Kikikikiki:((
This devil (UKWA) tought us how to insult.we are just giving him his share,but this guy when he was called king cobra did he fight or take anybody to police.?Hyna sounds a bit some for him maybe cocroack with a plan will do.
Poor Journalism what a shame, This online newspaper needs a savvy and well rounded Managing Editor otherwise this is cheap no good reporting like monkeys in the stone age.Where is Free Speech leave the MP alone,In any democracy there is freedom of expression Zambia is a Democracy not a dictatorship.Michael Sata is not above the law he is just like any other citizen.The Zambians hired him to represent them.
No matter what you say it is people of zambia who voted for this president , when you insult him you insult all zambians including yourself, because you continue to stay in zambia how fullish people can be,, it will be very long 5years i dont know what will become of you for all these years this man is mandeted to lead zambia. it will be five boring years mind you you may not survive, you may die along the way GODBLESS ZAMBIA
MMD stronghold leave the MP alone niente defamation here. Leave colonial way of thinking. Abafiletele of speaking evil niba ba mudala bene.Â
CNP set a very bad precedent for Zambian politics. Remember his language towards the rulling govt in the past.? Nyama soya, Hakaivotela Heka, Cabbage etc. What goes around comes around. Why Ukwa gets hurt by silly comments towards him is because, that  was his reason in the first place for mocking others.To hurt their feelings. As a result Sata will never be respected during his tenure. We just have to get used. Lesson to everyone aspiring for the highest office: Respect leadership
‘Chimbwi No Plan’ iwe stop the ’80s style of intimidating opposition! Just concerntrate on doing the job we elected you into office for!Â
the name itself is venerable, if you add something to SATA such as N, nyo- Thats why I like to call him King Chilufya = in bemba means looser.
I wonder how possible it is to defame Michael Sata when he does a much better job of it himself.
