Bravo Long live our president. Ba kolwe if yu wish ill of our presido, wanko he is protected by the blood of Jesus Christ
i don t wish him dead by tell presido to repent from all the sangomas he believes in.then the BLOOD OF JESUS will shield him.
Oh yeah….. Addis Ababa. That’s where the PF cadre ran up his $2,000 beer bill and set such a good example for all of Zambia. I’m sure the Hilton will be glad to have such big spenders back again!
….. just make sure all the credit card numbers are valid before giving out any room keys.
I AM STILL CONFUSED: WHICH SATA HAS GONE TO ADDIS TODAY BECAUSE THE ZWD REPORTED THIS WEEK, AFTER THEIR STORY ABOUT INDIAN DOCTORS’ ARRIVAL IN THE COUNTRY, THAT THE PRESIDENT HAD GONE TO INDIA FOR MEDICALS CITING THEIR ‘STATE HOUSE SOURCES’!
ARE THEY JUST A LOOSE CANON WHEN IT COMES TO PEDDLING ROUMOURS VISA VIS FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN ZAMBIA TODAY?
NO WONDER WHY THE POLICE., HAVE WARNED THEIR COUSINS, THE UNIVERSAL PROGRAMMES FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT OR UNPD, TO PUT THEIR HOUSE (OF SENSITIZING THE MASSES) IN ORDER BEFORE THEY COULD BE ALLOWED TO HOLD THEIR SO CALLED TOWNSHIP RALLIES! MIND YOU FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY CAN SHARE THE SAME DAD BUT THEY DO NOT SHARE THE SAME BED. THE FORMER IS A RABBLE-ROUSER WHILST THE LATTER HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE HARM.
I dont think you passed English. Nowhere did the message say the president was going to India. All it said was that Indian Doctors where around at State house to attend to the presidents medical conditions. It was a Tanzanian sangoma who advised that the president switch his office to the former colonial governors office. You must have read a different article or your comprehension skills are lacking.
YOU ARE CHOKING WITH ENVY!!
YOU HAVE ALSO SWALLOWED A BITTER PIL BA PUSHI!!
LONG LIVE KOLWESTAN!!
There won’t be difference if he stays there for 3 months or till Xmas as the country is on autopilot no leadership at all no wonder morons like Kabimba can sit on all the boards in the land…whatever happened to Judicial Reform the Chief Justice has been retired?
Not ukutusebanya uko mwaya shikulu! I hope Sata will keep his foul mouth shut and embarrass us!
Go zambia go lets go goal go go00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
That is the last you will see of that useless head of state. RIP
When do these ministers get down to getting some work done? Why does an entire cabinet have to go to the airport to wave off the president who will be back in a couple of days? At which point all ministers will be there AGAIN to welcome him back!! African mentality, very backward.
Whats the watchdogs version of this trip ?? kuti muli data
You seem to be talking about an earlier story which was also a fabrication, a complete lie. The ZWD did report on the President’s visit to India for medicals. The story disappeared as soon it appeared. Please get clarification from your colleagues at ZWD.
