President Sata

Republican President Michael Sata has challenged United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema to explain to the Commonwealth the source of his wealth when they visit Zambia.

Speaking this morning at State House the during the swearing-in ceremony of Deputy Ministers and Diplomats, the president said that the invitation of the Commonwealth by the opposition to probe his government’s alleged human rights violations will be an opportunity for opposition UPND leaders Hakainde Hichilema to explain to the Commonwealth the source of his wealth.

The president has had issues with the source of wealth of the UPND leader. Last year during another swearing in ceromony at State House, President Sata said that he was shocked by revelations that opposition leader Mr Hichilema may be worth as much as $72 million.

“You have worked for a long time but you are not as rich as some politicians. Surprisingly in Zambia, some politicians are richer than workers in formal employment, ” the president said at the time.

Meanwhile, President Michael Sata has noted that the country is blessed with abundant natural resources and yet the levels of unemployment are still high in the country.

The head of state said the country should not be facing issues of unemployment 49 years after independence.

The President was speaking at State House today when he swore in newly appointed Deputy Minister in the Office of the Vice President Davies Mwango and Deputy Minister of Transport, Works, Supply and Communications Malama Mwiimba.

Mr Sata also swore in Zambia’s Ambassador to the People’s Republic of China Eva Fundafunda and High Commission to Malaysia Miles Kaweche Banda.

He urged the two deputy ministers to ensure that the levels of unemployment in the country are reduced considering the resources that the country has.

The President also urged the newly sworn in Ambassador and the High Commissioner to be wary of investors that are coming into the country for their personal gains.

He disclosed that most of the investors that are coming into the country are interested in the copper that the country depends on economically.

Mr Sata also appealed to Mr Banda and Ms Fundafunda to go and sell Zambia abroad.

Those who witnessed the swearing in ceremony include Home Affairs Minister Edgar Lungu, Information and Broadcasting Services Minister Kennedy Sakeni and Lusaka Province Minister Freedom Sikazwe.

    • Dont limit your thinking and observation to regional boundaries. Maybe you would probably comment on whether or not the appointed are qualified for the positions.

    • Yes, it has to be northers because they were the ones who was supporting him. Common sense although I know it is not common. .
      He cannot appoint Hakainde’s tribesmen because they will be dismissed from the party.

    • I love this man in plot one, he only shows up when he is donating jobs to caders, and every time he is not short of words to attack the opposition, what has HH’s wealth he earned got to do with common wealth, will that bring bumper harvest or end the mealie meal shortages. Isnt the guy talking here the one who banked mezarf flats funds for chilenje project into his personal account. Zambians are docile

    • Who doesn’t know dat zambia has got a lot of natural resources and a lot of unemployment? We need solutions frm him and nt reminders. Whoever tod sata dat there’s more money in employment than in business lied 2 him.

    • Can’t the lawyers find a way removing Chibamba Kanyama from ZNBC. When it comes to the news, I think, the dogs have gone to ZNBC. We blamed RB but these lunatics are even worse. We need Chibamba out of ZNBC. See how this guy who has turned ZNBC to a subsidiary of The POST is behaving. He can’t cover the other parties campaigning and only the mad dogs of PF led by their colonial master are covered. Additionally, he only covers those that talk ill of the opposition.
      This is a mess and has to be stopped at all cost. The money that pays Chibamba and his team of crooks belongs to Zambians and not SATAN

    • The president reports for work to check hh’s financial statements. And then someone will tell me his working??seriously. Now what do the ones under him do if his this reckless? If HH has money, good for him,the president also has had money, from questionable sources such as the mezza flats issue where public money gained interest for him or whenever filling a nomination he only owns a cresider and a few fire arms. Are we supposed to believe his wife owns everything else? Our president is good at Talking and Politicking, man of action kwisa? Just lip service. Zambia is for all Zambians not people who are older than 70. The ambassador to Malaysia is too old. I only wonder his input to the country.

    • I guess you came out the ass….or probably your father wasn’t thr only for a stranger to take charge….you don’t have direction.

    • I totally agree with you Chella. We have a very dull President, he thinks formal employment is the only way to get rich.

      And don’t mind this “Triangle” guy, am sure he suffers from ‘brain diarrhoea’

    • I think Sakeni is right to say teenagers are ones insulting the president.
      Stop misunderstanding us the mature, we call Ba Sata by nicknames he used to call himself when he was in the 40s. That is before most of you were born. He is a man who don’t deserve insult, but a man you may call upon to be your MC.

    • Iwe Mwana
      Please respect our president!! You Should Grow up Mwana and Learn not to insult elders. Lets engage in constructive debates please

    • YOU MUST BE A VERY STUPID PERSON AND YOU DOT EVEN QUALIFY TO CALLED A HUMAN BEING COZ PRESIDENT WAS ELECTED BY THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY AND GOD ALLOWED IT WHICH MEANS YOU FOOL YOU DOT EVEN RESPECT GOD

    • Chella don’t insult learn to debate on the facts argue your points without insulting the head of state, look at my comments yes I don’t support PF but I put my points in a respectful manner

    • Ba chellar just because the one you call uneducated has beaten you ka Tribal HH in the game of politics you have now resorted to insults him just fight in on the political arena.

    • Yes and true. chi president ichishi totontonkanya. Ifimano ifyabupuba fye.
      Honestly is our president normal or what? somebody help me understand this kind of reasoning.

    • I think we have a rabbit dog at Plot 1. When HH was investing the man was using his monies to pay for prostitutes. Ask him what he did with all those donations from the Taiwanese and he should hold a press conference to apologize to the nation for using his monies to satisfy his third leg? Leave the nation out of this war with HH. Maybe you worried that the young business might grab Dr Kaseba? The guys is very sharp and can not go for a finished woman.
      So for once can you perform your duties as Head of State. We need these Catholic Bishops to pray for this man. Might work better if the team was led by Father Bwalya assisted by Bishop Mpundu. Bishop Alick Banda should not participate but Milingo should!

    • How would you love your parents being referred to as dogs? Can we not just disagree with someone without being disrespectful? Were are our morals? An elderly person, is an elderly person regardless and should be treated as such. Please lets differ on substance and still maintain the moral standard we have been known for as Zambians.

    • This the worst online tabloid I have ever come at across.There is no tangible solutions people give apart from insults.We need ideas to be articulated intelligently and not insults.The nation will not develop by insulting each.People need better alternative to PF.Otherwise am afraid PF will carry the day come 2016.There is no opposition worth talking about.

    • I agree that we should not call the man a dog but why does he treat us like dogs? Our love our president despite his lack of wisdom.
      I expected the man to have settled on his job and start giving it the attention all managers give their jobs. We can’t continue this way. Maybe it is high time we went the ‘Mulusa’ way and setup a medical tribunal to examine this man. We shall not put Dr Manda on it because he is on record of saying that if a man has those things removed, he ceases to reason normally; in this case as far as Dr MANDA is concerned, Sata is not fit to lead us. We shall however give him a chance so that Mmembe does not think it’s him we after. When Sata goes, we shall drag Mmembe in the streets on an ox-cart to show the Zambians this evil man.

    • You will reap what You are sowing God forbids to call Gods creation evil names.The Lord will always prevail.HH one day will account for his criminality he should be charged to be in position of money suspected to be proceed of crime.One day Former Zanaco Top management will reveal what happened when RAMCOZ were under receivership.Sata is a very patient man,HH humble your self don’t annoy the people of Luanshya and Zambians at large

  1. The Foot and Mouth Disease patient speaks again. Honestly, this man is no Presidential material. Please stop your never ending st.upid accusations that have no basis in fact!

    • You are a scum bag chi Goncalves. You are used to smell cow dung. Thats why you behave like a dog just like your low calibered under 5 UPND president HH.

    • @Triangle, that is exactly the reaction I want from PF cadres. You chaps always come out unhinged. You’re a bunch of crazies, from the dude in the Colonial Governor’s mansion to the kaponya in the street. My dear the cows you are railing against are a source of wealth. Cows are so precious that today in Europe people are passing off horse meat as beef. Invest in cows my dear that’s partially how HH became rich. As for your Sata, honestly he is not Presidential material.

    • Goncalves,
      Yu are so bitter!
      I,m Sorry to tell U that he is my President and yo president …there is nothing you can do about it untill 2016…Nayo 2016 Azapita (Give him chance to prosper Zambia)…

      Your so called presidential materials will never set foot into State House!!!!

    • @PC of course Iam bitter at the way Sata is ruining the country. The dude has neither a sense of responsibility nor the emotional intelligence to hold the country together. He is petty, directionless and utterly incompetent. Yes my dear , I am bitter. I am just one in the Majority of Zambians who are disappointed and bitter with the incompetent empty suit in State House. Zambia deserves better! The country is seriously in need of an Adult as President.

    • @ Goncalves , Iam disappointed with your vulgar language I used to hold your sensible constructive debates in high esteem but am disappointed immature language learn to respect the head of state

    • Iwe Goncalves,the president knows things that you dont know.HH knows his involvement in the privatisation of Luanshya mine etc.The president has an hear to the ground.Stop yapping man and wait for the ball.If you are not careful it will be handball and a political penalty against HH!!

    • @Gonclaves, why don’t you stand if you are so brilliant? I know why, you are very shallow and brainless and that all you know is insulting people in authority. Your bitterness and envy of MCS will kill you sooner than you know it. Anyway, you just have to be patient until he steps down in 2021 boi!

    • Sata is very useless,this is not time for politics,alot of things are worsening day by day! What has commonwelthy to do with HH’s wealth, infact they will say say let HH continue investing locally to alleviate poverty by providing Employment? If Sata has evidence that HH stole,where are the courts to prove him right or wrong?.It is this type of outbursting causing us to undermine this ***** in State house’s credibility.

    • I’m totally in support of Goncalves in this thread of conversation. Listening to Sata, I can’t not think of any president with the exception of id Amin, who talks so much garbage. How does a head of state make such a childish statement to a nation? And Goncalves has rightly articulated his bitterness at 4.4 and rightly so. Everyone with a genuine interest in the nation and our direction should be bitter with this PF Govt. they are just too involved in party politics and not nation governing. It’s clear from their language during campaigns, that it is their policy that development will only go to PF constituencies. Now what leader leads a multi party nation with such policies…

    • tonga f**ls the head of has paused a question why are you answering on behalf of under 5? I am sure even those from common wealth will be interested to know the source of beakering hikainde`s wealth , worse Mr Chancer Nervouse Mumba & Farmer RB ! time will tell we are watching

    • Who doesn’t know that zambia has got a lot of natural resources and a lot of unemployment? What we need from him are solutions and not reminders. Oh! by the way u become wealthy by being a businessman than being in formal employment.

    • Gonclave why do you waste time over a nonentity some one who has being rejected several times by the well meaning zambians, please for heavens sake this small boy called HH has no place at plot 1better he sells his cattle to zambeef instead of putting his selfishness first before the zambians.what is commonwealth to us mind you commonwealth consists of highly indebted nations,all in all we have china were we can do business with.yes how did that quack amass all that wealth and yet running to the commonwealth for human rights abuses when it is him who skips the payments of his workers.go pf 2016 and beyond….

  2. The President shouldn’t be exposing his derelication of duty over HH’s wealth. If what he is insinuating is that HH amassed this wealth during the Privatisation exercise of Zambia’s asserts, wasn’t this done under the watch of Chiluba’s MMD presidency and what position did Sata hold? Why didnt he raise his concerns then. He saw nothing wrong then and yet he had access to all the documents. Why has it become an issue now that HH is one of the opposition leaders? Does the President really think the nation believed him when he declared 7 guns as the only property he had when running for president in 2011? Even though you may have a point but all this smells of a vendetta because now this same HH is proving to be a throne in your backside. Why dont you investigate other nationals as well?

    • The president is a shame. What has HH’s wealth got to do with the Commonwealth? He is talking like the many villagers who accuse every successful person of ritual murders.
      The saddest thing is that he is always noting the high unemployment instead of addressing it.

    • Are you the only Zambian who doesn’t know HH reaped us Zambians by paying himself heft management fees from the sale of RAMCOZ ask former Zanaco top management just wait your man knows the source of money we have the info let the Govt institute the inquiry

  3. What has the petition for the Commonwealth to probe human rights abuses in relation to the opposition got to do with HH’s source of wealth? Thats a separate issue for which, if there is evidence of any offences committed in the acquisition of the said wealth, HH should be arrested. And why does he hallucinate over HH’s wealth each time he is swearing in some persons? I am also really put off with this non-stop swearing in of Jack and Jill. How often do these positions come up? When are people bestowed with responsibilities in govt. going to start working?

    • @HAROLD MUNA, when your HH is arrested you will say, “witch hunting”. We will soon close in on him and you screen the loudest. It is not about wealth, it about stealing money from privatisation.

    • It’s one and the same HH wants to divert attention he should now tell us where he got the money he never borrowed to start business.PF Govt is trying to flush out economic saboteurs

  4. Not only commonwealth, ZAMBIANS HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW FIRST, WE KNOW YOU WERE ONCE A POLICE OFFICER AND NOT FROM A RICH FAMILY, IF YOU WERE YOU WOULD HAVE END UP DOING A COURSE OUTSIDE ZAMBIA. SENILITY IS WITH YOUR HEAD OF STATE, AM HAPPY HE ISN’T MINE SHAMELESS OLD MAN NOTHING FOR THE FUTURE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION I HAVE HEAD FROM YOU APART INSULTS
    NOT A ROLE MODEL AT ALL

    • Don’t talk about issues you have no idea on. Leave us alone, MCS does not not to be your role model, that is how life is. He is my role model though. Ask anyone, they tell you that he is the most intelligent polician Zambia has ever seen.

  5. Boss, you own half of Avondale and other properties in every Lusaka’s ‘Mayadi’. Tell us how you acquired so many houses when the only work you ever did was being a Colonial Police Constable, London Victoria Station Cleaner, and finally your “Kantemba” City Advertisers; which was only a front considering that there were big players around who got most of the business, such as Young and Rubicam, Fleetfoot Advertising et al.

    • Dont cheat,he owns less than five houses,this man is a crashed car.he used all his earnings from his ordinary life on useless stuff.leave HH alone

    • That’s not being rich naimwe, you are exposing less that $2m. Anyway, Zambians we are too poor, even ka $72 million of HH is nothing, absolutely nothing for a man who supply meat to the all country.

    • @ Sasha
      Of course you are not the brilliant sister to mallia,and i never expected you to be that brilliant to distinguish sense and a dictators poopoo

  6. This sata will be killed by his jealousy for HH’s wealth.He even fails to comprehend simple logic that you cannot get rich via formal employment.That’s why sata himself is not rich;he’s been jumping from one govt job to another.

    • You are saying the opposite bwana, it is HH and you minions who are jealous of the President. That is why he has been fighting to get to plot one at any cost. None of you sycophants can take on HEMCS in any ring of any fight.

  7. HH was at UNZA and where he studied economics then did his masters in the UK,unlike you a good for nothing demagogue who has thrived on lying and jumping from one political party to another ,the chap is smart and he invests, this man is really a scopo donono,what a stu.pid statement from a president,anyway i dont blame him,i blame his neck which holds his stupid head.

    • You don’t have to be a UNZA graduate to be a business man. What is UNZA anyway, I graduated from Harvard with a PhD in Law in 2001 and have no time to boast about it. But please, have respect and call me Doc. Ulemu bane.

  8. Do not trivialise the human rights issue with your selfish probe into HH’s wealth. You are envious of his belongings. What about the state funds you are using for personal projects in and around Lusaka? Respond to a rumour about the hotel which you are building in Zimbabwe. Bring those employment opportunities you have created for your new found cousins in Zimbabwe back to Zambia, if you really want to contribute to the reduction of unemployment.

    • HH started the fight, so he has to finish it. Do you think stealing money from privatisation is trivial? You must be very foolish to think like that.

    • @KABASULA you are very dull if your Sata has proof why is he not arresting HH, infact this was done when your Sata was No. 3 in GRZ why did he not arrest the so called thief? jealousy people

    • Do you have any shred of evidence to support your laughable stories with your crazy uncle Sata?
      Your crazy uncle Sata is a joke and believe me, he wil be a neighbour to Charles Taylor at the Hague. Produce admissible evidence in a court of law. Then that ‘evidence’ will be tested if it is admissible and, after rigorous cross examination and robust closing arguments your so-called case will be thrown out of the window.
      You are susceptible to falsehoods and envy. Your Sata has no friends around the globe and no head of state want to associate himself/herself with Sata. He misused state resources by donating fuel to Malawi with the anticipation that Joyce Banda would crawl and hide herself underneath his thighs. She did not even bother herself to respond to his stupid invitation.

    • @ Pye Pye, don’t forget he is your president too whether you like it or not, just like HH would be my president if ever he becomes one although the chances are +0%.

  9. What has HH’s riches have to do with the abuse of human rights! Simple HH used his brains and God blessed him, all you did was go around insult Levy and buy 8 guns, how do you get rich like that! Ba mdala plis talk issues like investigations for winter and GBM period!!!

    • ati Advocate aka kasabula aka kapaso use one name. am sure u can reply to everyone with just 1 name. don’t think u are clever; u are dull as usual!

    • @Dull as usual, so to you want everyone to have the same views as you? So anyone who speak for the President is one and the same? You are right, we are the same because we speaking the same language of not insulting the President. Leadership is from above my friend. It is just a pity that your HH will not have the opportunity to be insulted since he will never rule Zed.

  10. I am ashamed to a Zambian under this lunatic! How did we allow ourselves to be ruled by this gumugumu! Pass the bucket…I wanna puke…………

  11. Sata has details of how HH became rich over night. This explains why HH is fighting hard to have him removed from power. He knows that soon Sata will catch up with him. You know Sata is a patient Bird. He gives chance to people to hung themselves. Look at how he is handling Rbs issue. Very soon RB will be in big trouble

    • You are dreaming my friend. What about Winter? Sata’s reasoning is unbeliavable. What I know is that people who are in business are the ones with most wealth. Bill Gates has never been a cadre but he is the richest man in the world. Infact his own GMB is very rich. Leave HH alone you Kaponyas.

    • What details about HH is this old school hiding? Do not inform us carbage. Sata hates HH and if he had hard evidence, this old school and his personalised investigating teams could have long decended on HH like a pack of wolves and caged him like an animal hanging from an iron cage.
      I do not believe you and also I have no confidence in your Sata and his inner cycles.

    • @ Chishimba and Boom…, don’t play with the president. He has all the data on HH which you do not know. Why talk about Kabimba. Those allegations were heresay from your watch galu and are therefore baseless, but HH handled privatisation, so watch out boys, you will soon cry foul and don’t blame anyone. This is just a friendly warning.

    • You are in no position to warn me or any anti-Sata person. Warn yourself or your fellow Kaponyas.
      I did not ascend to this level through pity, corruption, intimidations, ignorance, lies or desperation but through my own natural attributes i.e. hardwork coupled with education.
      I do not worship anyone for my survival and I pay my own salary through the work I do for my employers in South Africa and elsewhere in the global sphere.
      Tell Sata that his political career has no bearing on me and I would love to prosecute him myself.
      I look forward to a day when the future Zambian government would hire my services so that I can oversee investigations into Sata’s conduct and his inner cycles. We must teach you how to compile effective watertight dossiers not your Sata’s ‘child’s play’.

    • @ Boom and ……….. go hung your bal…s you economic refugee. So shut up and don’t talk about Zambia ok? Stay where you are and we will remain in Z. I am proud to be a Zambian and I will respect any government that comes in because as a Christian, I know leadership comes from God. So who are you to be insulting the president, day in and day out. I wonder what job you are doing because you are a thief also because you are stealing their time by spending everyday insulting His Majesty the President of the Republic of Z.

    • @Sangwapo#15.6 and other kaponyas
      His majesty? Alright, his majesty my ass, you dusty ass.
      What a pathetic loser. Wake up, go to varsity and achieve a doctoral degree or post doctoral degree, then you can work anywhere on earth. If you are not satisfied with the conditions of employment in your present profession, you just put it in black and white to your employer so as to keep whatever he/she is remunerating you to himself/herself.
      On the other hand, so many employers around the globe will easily knock hard on my door (my laptop) with their highest offers. Then, why should I bend over and plead with the kaponyas and Sata?
      Never, never tell me hogwash/ mambo jambo talk.
      You are a sewer rat.

    • KweKwe you never cease to hullucinate. Sata is now president and if has information about these perceived enemies all it takes is find the offence in the law books of zambia and charge them. Let them defend themselves fairly. Save us the hoo-ha allegations and later apologise. Its lunacy for the president to act that way.

    • He is a Rhodesian Ridgeback breed. A breed of dog from Southern Africa. For those who dont know this breed, check it out on the net… Then you will see the similarities of charater

  12. What cheap talk from the so called “president”! We have a clown in statehouse for president. How can you talk about HH? We want to hear about Kaseba’s farm in Chongwe/Rufunsa. How did she acquire the farm so quickly? This country has gone to the dogs. We are being ruled by people who do not know what it means to be president. By the time we realise, this country wil have degenerated to irretreavable levels.

    • You have stolen my name you do ..g. Dr Kaseba is a medical doctor and you cannot compare her to your marketeer spouse. So just shut up and stop using my identity foolish. Stupi…d idio..t!

    • There are chaps from the OP on this site who specialise in stealing selected users’ names, just as they did my previous name.

  13. I love reading these comments from people, does PF really do? . well HH is one big business man out of 10 zambia has produced and lets be proud for that.

  14. By the time Mr Michael Sata reaches the end of his term in 2016 he will have sworn in all PF cadres from Northern, Luapula and Muchinga provinces. That’s fine because they were promised these jobs, no hard feelings, the only worry is that it is apparent that the PF’s GRZ priorities over anything else are the weekly swear-in-ceremonies.

    • Eee, he will swear us all in. Why not, why give jobs to you idio..ts who insult him day and night because of your envy for the superior tribes of Zambia. Besides, you did not even vote or support the President, why should he give you a job silly? Get lost and get a job on HH’s farm or Victory ministries.

  15. This dusty old school thinks that we naive and passive. Sata, you are not interesting to some of us anymore. Try another stance, maybe stranded people who are ready to be docile will buy into your stories. What is your motive in making counter accusations which are baseless.
    Anyone can read through your eyes that you are isolated, even your comrade, Robert Mugabe cannot rescue you from your coffin of corruption and tribalism.
    Why didn’t you build a dossier about HH long before he took his complaints against you and your inner cycles to fore of the Commonwealth Secretariat? Why you waited for so long? Who will believe you anyway? This opportunity is not about the probe into the origins of HH’s wealth but it is about your pathetic behaviour. The Commonwealth is measuring your behaviour.

    • I agree with you 100%. The problem is that PF cadres cannot think on their own. They wait for Sata to think for them. We do not need an angel from heaven to tell us that Sata has misplaced priorities.

    • As an upright Zambian I find this kind of language despicable. We all have soft spots for these politicians but I don’t think we need to be this emotional and vulgar. Imagine you being told your father begot you with a cow, a croc or some animal of some sort. Shame on you.

    • Yes, that is how they are all born. Imagine a mixture of cow and human blood. That is why they like cow-herding because the animals are their girl friends. That is why I never eat beef because I don’t know whether it is from HH’s breed.

    • PLEASE AS ZAMBIANS, LET US LEARN TO USE CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOGUE AND NOT INSULTS. LET US HOLD THE BIBLE WITH BOTH HANDS, SURELY ONE DAY THE ALMIGHTY GOD WILL ANSWER OUR CRIES…..

    • They shall be known by their words and actions. What do you expect from senile chaps like this Chibs and Kalulete whatever that nonsense means.

  16. Yangu tata weee! Kwena ba bwana aba balampapusha. Tabalala no tulo pa bunonshi bwakwa HH. Ninshi kanshi batata?

    On a serious note let’s be serious and get down to real issues ba PF. Time is running out and we are counting. A year plus in office and we are in all bushes searching for tangible things we have achieved. What’s wrong? These appointments, swearing-ins, reshuffles and disappointments should end forthwith. We need to get down to serious business man.

    • Uushilala ni HH pantu alafwaisha bukateeka, you are saying the opposite and you know it. So when you sycophants puff, you expect the President to keep quiet, HH must finish what he started. The only thing he WILL NOT FINISH, is his political ambition of being President of the Zambia. People must be appointed and reshuffled, what is wrong with that? Koma ulicikopo iwe kolwe.

    • Hahahaha. No amount of gloating will change the fact that your so-called man of action has miserably failed where others before him have done better and HH can even do far better. Keep dreaming he will one day upgrade his railway station cleaner level of performance but I can assure you he does not have what it takes to do any better than he is doing right now. We deserved better, kapanga iwe.

  17. 4da president 2talk about HH’s wealth,there is more 2it.I can rest assure those dat hv a knack 4insults 2watch dis space.HH’s source of wealth z rotten.Wait & c

    • First find out how many boards his sat on & how much they were getting then probe into his businesses you will surely find the answer

    • There is nothing to it, the man made wise investments period. Before elections the president declared 7 guns, do guns multiply like HH’s cattle does? Think twice before you make silly comments and besides that HH is more educated thats why he has made very wise business desicions. INFUTI 7 are we at war?

  18. When in opposition, “…. the country should not be facing issues of unemployment 49 years after independence”. Now that you are in govt, what do you say about unemployment – “The head of state said the country should not be facing issues of unemployment 49 years after independence”!! – and get surprised when people call you a ‘CNP’

    • Exactly my thought…And he goes and says be careful of investors who come here for personal gain, seriously, which investor comes here solely to help Zambia? The key is to facilitate a win-win deal, not this intimidating stance this govt has taken. At first Mr Sata’s talk provided a source of entertainment, now its alarmingly worrying.

  19. BA SATA you can also go to SA and complain to HH that he is a theif since you cant arrest him here. kekekekeke….AM SURE COMMONWEALTH IS LAGHING

  20. Very difficult to even comment. So I will jst keep quite. Under the circumstances, that’s the best thing to do. I m just saying.

  21. I take it , this will be part of the PF’s defence before the Commonwealth panel. HH’s mysterious source of wealth will be given as a reason why the Rights of Zambians have to be violated! How clever of Sata and his PF! These guys do really take the biscuit!

    • You are 100% correct, brother. What a laughable line of defense for the so-called seasoned politicians. Which experienced international legal minds would entertain this reversed accusation, not even a simple inexperienced magistrate at a district court level would buy into such concoctions.
      Aside from the above, one cannot equate human rights abuses with this line of defense and or, any other defense strategy.

  22. That is the president people chose in 2011, “Munga Khale a president imwe, mambala wachabe chabe uyu”. Mr. President, do at least one sensible thing, report HH to the commonwealth otherwise they will not investigate what has not been reported to them….Pali drama pa statehouse ya Zambia.

  23. Ukwa tell us were you got your riches from too. The last time you worked was in London as a kaboyi and then as police chola boy.

    No one knows which school you went to for your grade 7. The are no known school mates

    How did you get all the money you have? From Lusaka city council and ministry of health?

  24. Mr. President if you are too dull to declare your assets appropriately, judging from your school boy counting of guns and money in the bank, consult HH and he will assist you next time you have to declare your assets.

    It is called Asset appreciation. Surly you have spent the last 10 years yapping about this. Yappy yappy yap yap

  25. LOOKING THE MASSAGES IT’S LIKE HIS EXELLENCE THE HAS HIT ON SO MANY PEOPLE’S ACES THAT THEY FAILING TO GO TO TOILET THIS AFTERNOON

    • I agree with you, they have shi..t in their bambas. Atase, I can smell it. You know cowdung smells but mixed with half human and half cow bantustans. They are angry because they know that the president is hard to get. They will continue to poop in their trousers until he leaves state house in 2021!

  26. this shows the limited mentality of our president.he thinks best way to get rich is formal employment.this explains why he has been in politics his entire life…..LOL

  27. Cobra, commonwealth are not interested in such trash infact they would just congratulate him for being enterprising.

    Why are you being so petty?

  28. Keep voting for your HH likewise we will never stop voting for Michael Chilufya Sata.. we voted for him and we can never regret.

  29. What is Sondashi fighting for by claiming to love Sata? Sondashi must explain why he was fired by Levy Mwanawasa.
    Sata would have rotten in jail had it not been for Chungu who testified in his favor. Is he afraid that Sata will equally lock him up now since he is president?
    Sondashi should just keep quiet and maybe concentrate on making more Sondashi formula.

    • @ MM2016, so anyone who speaks in favour of the president is your enemy? That just shows how bitter you cows are. Leave Sondashi alone, or maybe you need his formula badly. He is ready to supply it to you.

  30. what a pity to have such a leader..?are we going to eat your bickering..?tell us where you got the money for elections..?Taiwan or China..?HH is a hardworker..Tongas keep animals form a tender age ..very hard working unlike some of of you bembas..who believe in stealing public property!!

    • You should ask me and not my client galu iwe. It is not your business where the money came from. You keep cows and your girlfriends. You bonk them while herding, of course that is hard working – fuc…ng a cow.

  31. COMMONWEALTH MEANS MAKING WEALTH COMMON TO ALL.

    I WANT TO SHOW ZAMBIANS HOW I PLUNDERED THE ECONOMY UNDER CHIEF PLUNDERER CHILUBA. BRIEFLY, IT WAS JUST SANGWAPO! ONCE IN POWER I WANT TO RE-INTRODUCE THE SAME SANGWAPO IN ZAMBIA.

    ANYONE IN SOUTH AFRICA, NIGERIA, UK OR USA ETC WHOSE BANK ACCOUNT HITS 1MILLION COMES FORWARD FREELY TO SHARES HIS KNOWLEDGE OF (INVESTMENT)OF HOW THEY ACCUMULATED THEIR WEALTH, SIMPLE..

    PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ROMNEY (USA) WAS RELUCTANT TO DISCLOSE AND HE PAID THE PRICE – HE WAS REJECTED BY THE PEOPLE.

  32. most of these idio##ts don`t use there brains 2 think but there balls.why do u always critise the presidents speech,becouse as far as i know human rights violation was experienced in the mmd resume.when cadres uesd to rule this country.times of somili (jimbo1).u idio###ts do u remember this! or u are just quacking.don`t use yo balls to think,use yo brains

  33. I ve never seen or heard a dull president lyk this one. Sure how do u talk someone’s private life. I’m sorry we ve no president jst a rubber stamp.

  34. Another case of human rights violation,which court order have they used to gain access to HH’s bank and business details?Who is advising the President kanshi?This really embarrassing.

  35. THOSE INSULTING THE PRESIDENT ARE INSULTING THE MAJORITY OF ZAMBIANS WHO VOTED FOR HIM.IN THE THE SAME LIGHT THEY ARE ALSO INSULTING GOD’S WISDOM BECAUSE EVERY LEADERSHIP ON EARTH IS THERE BY GOD’S BLESSING.I ASK THOSE INSUTING THE PRESINDENT TO ASK FOR FORGIVINESS FROM GOD.IT ‘S SHAMEFUL I HAVE NEVER HEARD OTHER NATIONALS INSULTING THEIR PRESIDENTS LIKE THIS.TAKE A LEAF FROM VENEZUELA THEY ARE ALWAYS BEHIND THEIR PRESIDENT.PLEASE LETS GROW UP.

  36. I keep wondering if people like Goncalves and other UPND cadres blogging all the time actually work.It would appear like some of these people who are perpetually posting comments on everything and anything actually do any work at all.Mushota has made her name as the most cantankerous blogger.Gonclaves is the most bitter of them all,more bitter than HH himself.Man go and drown yourself in Lake Kariba because HH will never be president,mark my words!!

  37. lets go sata…ala chakulamikalipa fye…your candidate will neva rule this country…..nangumutukaneshani muletekwa….

  38. Your president is right. Why should the commonwealth poke their pointed noses in the affairs of a democratic african country that has been able to hold peaceful and fair elections when they are due. Zambians!!! be in charge of your country. Listern to these old men because once they are gone we will br eaten by neo imperialism. A lot of people think neo imperialism is just a fancy word, it exist and be carefull. Always think Zambians first not Zambia Sugar first.

  39. Sata is a very jealousy person. Just because he has been poor most of his life, apart from the money he got through stealing, he hates people who have gotten rich through hardwork and being educated. Can Sata compare how he grabbed Avondale land, evicted a poor family from the Rhodes Park house that he now claims to be his home, and how he is building hotels all over Africa from stolen public money, to the hardwork of HH through his farms and being educated enough to run an international accounting firm. Come on, get real.

  40. Someone tell me our president is not a comedian. Where in the world has he ever seen workers who are rich except those is executive positions. Only entrepreneurs and business people make enough money to be among the rich. Is it now a crime to be rich? If Mr Satan believes HH made his money through proceeds of crime, the courts are there bwana, bring your charges and not just attack HH for having money. HH we know made his money from the privatization and liquidating of government entities under MMD. However we know that the process to liquidate and privatize might have been illegal, however SATAN and his pals in the then MMD are the ones to account not the entities which were asked to manage the liquidation and privatization process, which HH’s auditing and accounting firm was.

    • @2.9 I am happy u seem to have repented. U are the one who was asking for the prophecy of death from prophet…………u even mentioned of bottomless pit. My friend the blogers even counter prophesied on u. Repent by praying to God to forgive u for that evil desire in yo previous blogging.

  41. This article makes very interesting reading. I have never come across a formal worker who has become rich unless one uses the Kapoko formula. Now what is this president talking about,,,,,encouraging the Kapoko formula? Nonsenses……

  42. @ Silencer…. While I do not condone ‘insults’, I still disagree with your statement that insulting the President means insulting the ‘majority’ that voted for him. Insulting the President has nothing to do with the people who voted for him. In any case, if we were REALLY to take you up on your statement, you seem to imply that the people who voted for the President are very smart! They can’t be ‘*****s’, ‘stupid’ e.t.c. Well, what can I say?

  43. Ladies and gentlemen, please, please let us use good language. Whether you insult or not, respect is the ultimate. So please let us mind our language.

  44. Hey stop insulting the president and sop insulting HH. Talk about how we can make wealth for ourselves and the whole country to alleviate poverty. I have a pretty good idea, Eastern, northern, Luapula provinces has plenty land. Let us turn it into agricultural land grazing cows for the EU. we can make money. Namibia is failing to satisfy those guys. Second let us have all criminals arrested and prosecuted without discrimnation, third let us send our school leavers to tertiary schools and create a cadre of educated Zambian that can survive in any part of the world without suffering etc

  45. Ba Kateka please! You know very well that very few people get rich by being in formal employment only. It also explains why you opted to be self-employed rather than be in formal employment. That is why people continue to advise you to focus your attacks of the opposition on their policy alternatives and not personalities. It is very embarassing, when as a Zambian I see our president exposing his ignorance of straight forward issues.

  46. Zambia has a president who has nightmares over HH’s wealth. Poor PF cadres like Triangle, Life is a Journey, etc. Here is the news, your president has a role model nad hes called HH. What does HH become to you who worship that dull man you call a president.

  47. HH is proving to be the only guy that has challenged the presido this far. ZNBC dont even like him.. Its only NAREP, UNIP, MMD

  48. chi president ichishi totontonkanya. Ifimano ifyabupuba fye.
    Honestly is our president normal or what? somebody help me understand this kind of reasoning.

  49. This is beyond laughable just last week this man had a swearing-in session handing out a job to a cadre and today he is further distributing more jobs. I’m afraid Sata is and has turned out to be a cabbage..we thought Mwanawasa was going to be a cabbage in plot 1 but the tables turned….its the vocal Sata who is now a seating cabbage. The man is spent up like those old Mansa Spark batteries not even exposure to the sun will help him…he is truly a spent force.
    I finally give up on him; we need fresh blood not relics!!

  50. Ok…..but our president is intelligent!!! You are a president for the people and that why we voted for you.We need to find out how this BOY hh got the money from.When did he start the business?wat profit was he making wen he started etc.

  51. Sata is really being petty. If HH stole, arrest him, period! Why is Sata being allowed to display is ignorance like this? That is why State House only allows kids to interview him since his IQ is in doubt!

  52. Ba Sata, looking for a juicy story to sway people’s opinion to your side. Unfortunately your popularity is fast fading away, hadly two years in office.I have never seen an individual with such lack of magination. Why is Sata panicking? I expected him to speak sense during this press conference but alas, the usual appointments of Bembas and his relatives. Is this man ever gonnah learn. Bravo to HH for his wealth. These are men we want at plot one. Not people who declared three guns. Sata has been fishing over HH and cant find anything to incriminate him. Mr President, your stay in state house will be short. Follow the 10 commandments and everything will get back to normal.

  53. Is that the response to the complaint lodged to the commonwealth.

    Kwena this president chipuba sana…. Ukwa u are now exposing how Grade 7’s think.

  54. Dont worry with those insulting… They are still angry and bitter cos of the loss they suffered… They are like mamadu Gaey of Ivory coast with his bitterness of Zambia… it will not leave hime… so are the MMD and UPND… it will never leave them..

    • You guys, is the dagga Ukwa is giving you that make you blind to his monkey tricks. Some of you will even offer to go to the grave with him!

  55. you see bitterness will take you nowhere except to hell… accept defeat and make new strategies on how to win an election, just like what Nigerian (super eagles) football team did. Otherwise the next time we read about is 2016/17 in the opposition again… and Sata riding again on victory path…

  56. I think diplomats acredited to Zambia are laughing their lungs out at the weird reasoning of Zambian politicians. Anyway the reason for having such politicians is because the Zambian citizenry is largely not a reasoning one. Otherwise how does a country end up with such mediocre politicians?

  57. It is sad to read all these blogs having Zambians paid to support whatever the President does, these party politics have made intelligent people become fools for jobs. You mean intelligent Zambians are not seeing anything wrong with what is going on in the country.

  58. Please show respect to the heard of state. The insults you are using is painting the whole country as we are people with no ethic morals. Sata is just a person like you, he do understand what you are angry about. If he do not understand the voice of the Zambian people, then very soon you will have powers to remove him from that seat he is having. DO NOT USE INSULTS. RESPECT SHOULD BE GIVEN TO HIM NO MATTER WHAT.
    Note that am not a politician neither do i belong to any party in Zambia, and will never be, but am concerned about what you fellow Zambians back home are communicating in order to be heard. Docas in Sweden.

  59. you are useless, musula obe. how come the one who is not a dog has been losing elections like leaves falling off a tree. Did u say the one in statehouse is a dog? Believe me the ones in opposition are cowdung, i mean dung.

  60. Ok, why is it that out of all the rich people in Zambia, only HH must tell the nation the source of his wealth? How about people like GBM who also never worked in government and has a far less educational background compared to HH? In fact, how much does the government pay its workers for us to think that only civil servants must be rich in Zambia?

    • Sata is a great leader he has a good heart for the poor even commonwealth is aware nothing will come out that protest Zambias are highly respected

  61. The President’s reaction against HH is an exhibition of panic. He is behaving like a 6-year old child who, when told that he/she will be punished for stealing sweets, he/she starts pointing acusing fingers on other innocent children. The fact is that HH has earned his wealth through legal means by investing in viable businesses. Iam conforted by the fact that if HH became the Republican President, he would not be tempted to steal from Govt coffers. In fact most Senators, and State Presidents in the USA are rich persons. Unlike Zambians who get into politics as a source of livelihood. Sata must explain where his wife got money to establish an Estate in Chongwe District barely less than two years of him being in Govt? He is opening a can of worms to implicate his family. CNP, no advisers.

  62. The president reports for work to check hh’s financial statements. And then someone will tell me his working??seriously. Now what do the ones under him do if his this reckless? If HH has money, good for him,the president also has had money, from questionable sources such as the mezza flats issue where public money gained interest for him or whenever filling a nomination he only owns a cresider and a few fire arms. Are we supposed to believe his wife owns everything else? Our president is good at Talking and Politicking, man of action kwisa? Just lip service. Zambia is for all Zambians not people who are older than 70. The ambassador to Malaysia is too old. I only wonder his input to the country.

  63. And you Sata please tell the world the reason for your relative failure (money-wise) yet you’ve been in many high positions of GRZ for many years?

    • HH has questions to answer .Wealth is either inherited or you borrow but HH can’t account for his source of wealth it just a matter of time your man will be charged for either corruption,money laundering or found in possession of money suspected to be proceed of crime

  64. Mwansa Kabinga you don’t know the source of wealth HH has .Ask the former management of ZANACO.You don’t understand money laundering sir.HH is luck today that he is able to move freely ,late Mwanawasa at one stage wanted to probe HH..Dont under estimate Sata it’s just a matter of time the Govt has resources to investigate any citizen. they can trace any transition made by HH whether he was involved in corrupt practice.

  65. Goncalves and Hara you are rabid dogs. Your under five hero may have that ill-gotten wealth but will never, never assume power presiding over the affairs of Zambia. If he wants he can declare one kraal of his cattle as a state, then he will be sworn in by one bull as president in that kraal not Zambia.

  66. How can he be asking people disclose to the commonwealth the source of their riches when his dog selling relative has not justified the sources of his riches he has acquired since he (Sata) came to power.He is also not the right person to talk about high levels of unemployment when day in and day he is dishing out lucrative jobs to his family members and relatives.This is double standards at it’s worst.

  67. Jeremia, don’t be blasphemous. Goncalves can’t be God. He is some creature alien to our environment. He may have come here from a celestial mass of confusion where the scientists are still focusing their super telescopic cameras to ascertain the extent of confusion.
    HH is all that rich! No wonder Goncalves and other maggots are so active posting rubbish against our beloved president and the PF government. They fear that the spirited fight against graft which this government is championing will not spare their icon. They live on sucking him. Yes, if only part of his wealth will be traced to privatization and deprivation of people’s livelihood, he will dance to the music. He thought wealth would automatically give him presidency. He is shocked.

  68. When a husband and wife connot resolve issues a mediator should be called in to help settle whatever the issue is. In the process of the discussions you do not bring in issues that are not part of the discussion otherwise it would be an endless “who said what and who did what”. The best that the party and it’s government would do is provide answers to the issues raised in order to vindicate themselves.

  69. It is a waste of time fighting with the opposition just concentrate on delivering development. Let them pertition whoever they want but in 2016 it will be the Zambian people who will judge. So do good get re-elected, mess up and ……..do the math

  70. Oh God mweba giva, noku geta. mwalitugiva mwana wenu Michael, nomba mwamu givilila. nomba moneni efyo aletuchusha. Adulisa obunga ne fyisashi, chabwama fye mwamugeta elyo talatugiva ulupiya lwesu mu 90 days. nomba alefwaya ku geta ulupiya lwa kwa munankwe. Awe tata iseni mumugete fye.

  71. The President so far has never told us why he calls HH a thief. Can the President give us evidence of what he has stolen? If he is a thief, why is he not in prison? Here are some of the sources of his wealth: his academic and professional qualifications, commercial farming, commercial cattle raising, buying of shares, investments in various sectors of the econmy such as tourism, leasing, property etc. What next? Guilty of being a hardworker? Mr President, the Commonwealth will find HH to be progressive to the nation as he has created employment for the youths, provides goods and services to the people, and above all helps in poverty alleviation. HH will be praised! Wealth creation is what we need in Zambia. Think twice before you submit your papers to the Commonweal.

    • My friend that is too much for the President, he does not understand the mathematics HH used to create his wealth. So while we are at it let us live with the fact that we have a President who understands nothing about economics.

    • This just shows that Zambians hate rich people. In Zambia people want to share poverty. That is why anybody who has some wealth is either a thief or a satanist. Hakainde worked for his money unlike most people in PF

  72. any body in govt can be concerned that out siders are coming to inspect governance issues , hence the reaction to HH, well HH should do his home work while he waits for inspectors, but my president concentrate on developmental projects other than politiking.wishing you well.

  73. HH’s SOURCE OF WEALTH: I sincerely thought the republican president would cite a case of multiple thefts as the source of HH’s riches. Apparently, from what has been shown, is that HH’s wealth can be traced to some legitimate sources, mostly within Zambia. Hardly a matter for the Commonwealth to be concerned about. HH appears to be a person that knows how and where to invest. He should be a source of great hope for many Zambians that don’t know how to make profitable investment decisions. The ZNBC news item on HH on 19 February 2013, evening news, was a really good piece of PR for this man. What is the PF’s president’s source of riches?

  74. ci mudala ici tacumfwa insoni every now and then its swearing in fimo fimo.wen swearing in its character assassination bt ba special advisor is very dull indeed .ci mudala iwe uli cinkotizo tok sensible things d same challah wants you to look foolish bt balikukaka no mwando abena mmebe wat a circus .so mudala iwe its like wen they say fart u don’t even hesitate .sori William

  75. This Sata president is an imbecile and a psycho with an IQ of a chicken. Even a dog is better. He is vague and empty. I can only compare him to Idi Amin – the Butcher of Uganda. Zambia is bleeding. What a waste!!!

  76. Mr. President, for your own information, Commonwealth is not interested in how HH made his money that is not their problem, their problem is how you are taking this country to the 18th century backwards. In any case and going by your intellect, you may not understand the mathematics about how HH made his money.

  77. but mr president you have just told us HH’S source of wealth..from your mouth you said he has shares in the following:game stores , pnp, chilanga cement,sun international, zambeef and hundreds of cows…now which source are you looking for

  78. What Sata said about HH’s wealth is laughable. In what capacity does HH show his wealth to the Commonwealth? Is he obliged? Sata is a very petty person and not fit to be president of Zambia. There are more serious issues he needs to deal with as president of this country other than engaging in petty squables with the opposition. He must understand that the opposition will not go anywhere; they are here to stay because they are part of the governance system. The problem we have is that those in power think they should have the monopoly of being heard. Unfortunately, things don’t work like that. Not everyone can agree with the government. Sata stop being jealousy and govern the country for once. People are hungry in this country and Sata is busy wasting resources on trivialities. Shame!

  79. THE PROBLEM WITH HH IS THAT HE THINKS HAVING A LOT OF MONEY THAN COMMON CITIZENS MAKES HIM A GREAT LEADER!!! LEADER OF COWS!!!!

  80. KAGELO

    I’m not Bemba but I voted for Sata. Urban is multi-tribe. Just wanted to correct and encourage u as u campaign for HH to be inclusive. Most of us like HH but his people do not come out well. We want someone who can rule or Zambians

  81. No HH. has no Q. to answer about where he got his wealth. The answer can be given by anyone who has sense and capacity to realize that richness comes about working hard and of course having brains which are creative.
    It does not make any sense to question a fellow Zambian who is wealth, so long he did not steal that money from the nation. Do not be jealous, jealous is a root of poverty! Encouraging each other to find source of income is a way forward to development. Do not waste your time pointing fingers on each other. instead the people of Zambia would like leaders who are there to discuss issues concerning aviation of poverty in the country. What is the people of Zambia gaining, through hearing where HH s source of income has originated. GROW UP AS A LEADER AND PUT YOUR EFFORT IN DEV.
