SOME opposition politicians in North Western are reportedly telling youths that Government’s Youth Development Fund was blood money meant to initiate them into Satanism.

According to North Western province minister Steven Masumba, some youths were shunning the KR 1.1m fund for fear of being taken into Satanism.

Masumba said in notes delivered on his behalf by Mufumbwe District Commissioner Emma Mankishi and ministry of Sports Youth Coordinator for North Western Christopher Malisopo at meetings held in Lumwe, Kashima and Matushi areas on Friday that as a result, several youths especially from Kasempa had stayed away from applying for financial support.

He said some youths had been dissuaded by political opponents of the Patriotic Front that the resources from the YDF were maneuvers to get them into satanic practices.

Masumba stated that the fund was a way to alleviate poverty and create employment through clubs formed by women and the youths.

And Lumwe residents Judith Dinala and Juliet Kuneti appealed to Masumba to deliver on his promise that the women and youths in the area would be financially supported unlike previously when they were only alerted to the possibility of applying for the funds but never got any of their projects approved.

But Malisopo assured that the current administration was determined to reduce poverty by taking empowerment programs in the rural areas and ensure that vulnerable people were not disadvantaged.

Mankishi told the women that the PF Government had put them at the center of driving development in their communities and would not neglect them

  1. These opposition parties are the ones who are devil worshipers because that the way they have accumulated their wealth. Who does not know that Hakainde is a masonist just like the late Mazoka? They are now feeling the heat of PF being in Govt which they least expected, hence their decision to pull out of the Pact thinking MMD was going to win the Tripartite elections. Muletekanya ba Opposition. You are the ones who are satanists and are also responsible for all the ritual murders happening in Zambia.

    • IWE MACGYVER,ITS YOUR PRESIDENT WHO HAS HIS CHIEF ADVISOR A SANGOMA FROM TANZANIA OR KENNTH MADUMAS FATHER.ON THIS BLOG WE,VE BEEN TELLING YOU HOW SATANISM HAS DIFFUSED IN SATAS GOVERNMENT.SOME PIPO EVEN CALLED ME NAMES THAT I HATE SATA.BUT NOT LESS THAN 10 DAYS SATA HAS BEEN EXPOSED .THE BATTLE IS THE LORDS…

    • Why does Kabimba sleep at St. Ann’s funeral parlor on Thursday nights?
      And why S..nyina has fired bold headed workers from state house, now rest of workers have grown table cuts, shaved by 1 barber with same scissors under the mpundu tree near east-gate at plot 1?

    • Watch your comments, whoever you are and have respect for dead. Mind you if PF was committed to alleviating poverty they would not have caused so many costly bye-elections. In all honest, such comments by this minister are not reflecting quality leadership. You should not be giving people money but rather give them the opportunity to build themselves.

  2. Masumba, SHUT UP!!
    Can someone tell me how these very funds are accessed and who is responsible for disbursing them. What are the terms of reference or criterion used to qualify for these funds, how are they supposed to be repaid or is it a free gift?
    As a leader Masumba should be concentrating on these points I have raised rather than using fake excuses at every turn.

  3. Who is the Sata…nist? Is the man in State House? Zambia should just be dissolved. Honestly, the country is a joke.

  4. Goncalves, you are the worst of all Tongas in Zambia. What you expected to happen to your under 5 HH, will never happen any time soon. You have to count about 18 or so more years to come for him to try his luck, otherwise you will die a bitter person just like all upnd under 5s.

    • MACGYVER YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE CHEWING SATANIST’S MONEY.I PERSONALLY I UNDERSTAND YOU.HOW CAN YOUR PRESIDENT GO TO THE OAU MEETING WITH A SANGOMA???

  6. That money is taxpayers money that is the in the past politicians have ever stollen from you just get that money it is yours many times we were told how there was always money at the finance which never was used but ended up being stollen by politicians

  7. Masumba that story sounds fictious,make the methods of obtaining clear to the youth,its the numerious requirements that makes the youth feel the cash is out of reach of humans …#3,4,&4.1 can we be objective for once and avoid concentrating on week points, and ethnic groupings but what contribution you will make to make life better please change atitudes.

  8. Build colleges and empower the youths.. knowlledge is power.. those handouts will not last longer as prices of commodity/goods goes up every time and then.

  9. Govt just the cash to the youths ready to work,ignore those that choose to b superstitious without cause.LORD HELP US.

  10. Whatever I wrote above yesterday is invalid. I was drunk.
    Sounds like Masumba wants to find a way of stealing money.

  11. MR MASUMBA DON’T MISLEAD THE NATION.NORTH WESTERN WAS ONLY GIVEN KR360,000 AND ONLY FEW YOUTHS GROUPS BENEFITED.
    US WITH GENUINE PAPERS WITH EXISTING BUSINESS WERE NOT CONSIDERED.THEY GOT GROUPS WITHOUT ACCOUNTS,CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATIONS AND PAPERS FOR REGISTRATION AND OPENING OF ACCOUNTS WERE DONE DURING THE SAME DAY DURING THE WORKSHOP.
    ZAMBEZI ONLY 2 GROUPS kR20,000,CHAVUMA I GROUP KR 20,000,KABOMPO LOAN KR 50,000 1 GROUP ETC ONLY SOLWEZI HAD 12 INDIVIDUALS WHO BENEFITED.
    MALISOPO DONT FOOL US.IF WE HAD GOVERMENT IN PLACE WE WOULD HAVE CALLED ACC TO INVESTAGE THE MATTER BUT?
    MASUMBA,MALISOPO AND PF ARE LIARS.SHAME ON YOU

  12. Finally, you want social and living proof that the machine actually does what it does. You want to hear good and bad things about it to get a better view on what to buy.
