Former Republican President Rupiah Banda has refuted assertions that American Ambassador to Zambia Mark Storella and first Republican President Kenneth Kaunda persuaded him to concede defeat when he lost the 2011 presidential elections.
Mr Banda told Radio Phoenix in an interview from Kenya monitored in Lusaka yesterday that contrary to reports, at no time did Mr Storella nor Dr Kaunda persuade him to concede defeat.
“I have never had a visit from Dr Kaunda…I haven’t seen him other than at the funeral of our late mother, his dear wife. As for the American Ambassador, he is there in Lusaka, you can check,” he said.
Mr Banda said fortunately both Mr Storella and Dr Kaunda were in Zambia and was hopeful that they would one day come out in the open and tell the people the truth.
He said it had dawned on him that he was losing the elections just after midnight on the day of counting, and yet there were still some flock of people peddling falsehoods that it was not his intention to accept defeat.
“Of course it was my idea to concede defeat in the election results. Nobody could have forced me to do otherwise,” he said.
He said it was in view of the foregoing that he felt that he was in a better position to advise whoever would lose in the Kenyan elections to concede defeat.
Mr Banda said unlike in Zambia, the Kenyan press and the people from that country had rejected hatred as a way of campaigning and was hopeful that Zambia could learn something from that.
Meanwhile, Mr Banda is happy with the resilient spirit exhibited by the Kenyan people in that country’s general elections.
This was according to a statement released by the Office of the Fourth Republican President’s deputy administrative assistant Kennedy Limwanya.
Mr Banda felt the Kenyan elections which took place on Monday had proved that Kenyans were ready to move forward and close the sad chapter of the 2007 elections.
Mr Banda who is in Kenya under the auspices of the Carter Centre International Elections Observer Mission said this when he visited the Elections Observation Group (ELOG) offices where the Mission was shown how the parallel voter tabulation was conducted.
The Carter Centre team also paid a courtesy call on Kenya’s Inspector General of police David Kimaiyo who assured that his officers were ready for any eventuality that might arise after the announcement of the final results.
PERSONALLY I DON’T CARE ANY MORE WHETHER THEIR IS SOMEONE IN STATE HOUSE OR NOT ZAMBIA IS STILL THE SAME I JUST REGRET FOR WASTING MY VOTE FOR SATA AND PF. 2016 is just too far. Am praying for a miracle and a break through before 2016
afe that wat u mean
Couldn’t he resign? Why just the way Banda conceded defeat, Sata should just step aside so “the leaders of tomorrow” (remember when you were told that you were) can take control.
Amazing how you are always the first to comment…its rather odd dont you think..? and you are always regretting for voting for PF which I strongly feel is not true…you didnt vote for PF both and I know that…so Ba Bwalya suck it in till maybe 2030 or even beyond coz PF is here to stay.
Big L you are a dreamer, PF being there till 20…..what? You joking, because even now if we said lets go for elections your Sata cant win like it or not, in fact most pipo are regretting having put these thugs in power……wait and see what happens in 2016 unless he Riggs kaili he is the chief rigger
UNFORTUNATELY, YOU LIVE OVERSEAS AND PROBABLY YOU HAVE NEVER EVEN BEEN TO ZAMBIA IN DONKEY AGES. SO, MOST PEOPLE INCLUDING MYSELF CAN’T LISTEN FROM YOU. IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS I HAVE HAD FRIENDS VISITING ZAMBIA AND THEIR TALK ON THEIR LIPS IS THAT ZAMBIA IS TRULY HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND THEIR PLANS NOW IS TO SERIOUSLY GO BACK HOME. SO, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT IMWE A PHIRI ANBWELA?
Kwena will you stop lying which opposition would win the same elections u are talking about…incase u didnt know pf would still win even if they decided to give the opposition all the votes from 1 or 2 provinces…look at how pf is winning all the by-elections.. enough said
You are a bitter soul
Even if 2016 were to come tomorow your prayers will be in vain because there is no credible opposition leader that can run Zambia better than Sata.HH and Nevers Mumba are power hungry and have no vision to take Zambia forward in anyway.We know them too well that they will never be presidents of Zambia.Keep dreaming and building castles in the air!!
Ba boss no one forced you to vote for PF,you voted with you own conviction,so don’t blame others for your own mistakes.
Truth is RBB did not concede defeat he wanted to be decalred winner , he called the former employees of ECZ to help , unfortunately it was too late , Judge Mambilima refused to allow him do that and she even threatened to resign , please read the Africa Confindential report of October 2011. RBB is a terrible liar and one day his lies will catch up with him
@ james chembe kombe… weather he was advised to concede defeat or not. its not important, the fact is he handed over peacefully
What people want at the moment is mealie meal, those jobswihich were promised in 90 days, they want a good life from PF which was promised….
Just leave RB alone,,, you witches, devils with horns!
Liar! Let those who voted lament.
I wish RB just Rigged the elections than this mediocre leadership we are having. U knew rain season is coming u have failed to plan for farming input delivery yo ministry have 3 deputy MPS . Mealie meal shortages are all over ati seleni tubombe ko , action man Atase …..
You will die of bitterness and frustration man. Come 2016, Sata is winning landslide going by these useless opposition we have as at now.
HAVE YOU SEEN THAT AGARU ANA CHITA INFILTRATE LUSAKA TIMES, MANJE. BANA SIWA GARU NEWSPAPER. MWAZIBWELAMO KUNKALA AGARU?
Iwe Octopus Musimbi-Musankwa, just shut your loud mouth up. When did you become Bwalya?
Octopus,do you work or you are one of those people who just sit around and wait for nshima?It is amazing how you fali to comment on anything and everything!!If you are in the diaspora I am sure you are stranded wherever you are.Grow up man and get a life!!
Octopus Musimbi-Musankwa is unemployed. He has all the time to write his drivel.
I daily offer prayers in thanxgiving for the gift of this great country and especially for the five Presidents God ever blessed to lead this nation. Human as they were and could be did and would err, but it was God out of 13 Million who handpicked the five men at appointed times to rule over Zambia. If anything has gone wrong or righ with our beloved Republic, every citizen has contributed a percent to the wrongs. We need to grow up, be honest that for everything there is a season and God is blessing this nation every moment. We need to remain united, work hard to defeat poverty than to count on Govt. Whether we like it or not God has allowed the present president to rule, he needs the chance, respect and support till we get another opportunity to elect another one if need arises.
Of course you conceded because you’re a level headed statesman of integrity,character and great moral and ethical fibre.Let the lesser men with little ethical constraints die or choke with envy at your world standing.
he was answering a question put to him-what did you expect him to say-yes l was dragged out kicking and screaming.Africa Confidential a respected magazine qouted a number of diplomats who said the guy was ready to rig.
NIWA BOZA MANINGI RUPIAH BANDA. HE’S EVEN LECTURING ABOUT DEMOCRACY WHEN HE HATED IT. SIANGAVOMELE. HE HAS BEEN PAID- HE CAN BE SUED FOR ADVANCING DEMOCRACY IF HE IS OPENLY SEEN/HEARD TO HATE IT. II NKOTE NIYA BOZA MANINGI.
Man, are you seroius? “you’re a level headed satatesman of integrity, character and great moral and ethical fibre” my foot!
Given Lubinda, this country needs you. The PF needs your leadership because people have lost interest in our party. You’re the only window of hope left to salvage our party.
we haven’t lost interest…don’t say the people…you are not the people,you are a mufunga…
TRAITOR?
comment on RB not Given Lubinda what hope do you have in him,he was just a minister for few months and he starts give give information to the opposition,what if he was there for 5years?
The why did you cry if no one forced you to concede defeat?It was simply a realisation that no one was supporting your views and plans at this critical hour including the ecz,the army and the police.Kwena bamudala balilila ne chikukuma.Osalila internally bamudala just move on.
he cried becoz he know the mistake the young zambians made by voting for poor finishers look were we are.no melie meal,no jobs,no money for government workers,no order on the streets,no fertilizer for farmers,no power from zesco more load shedding,more oppression on democracy,and many more failres.you have eyes u cant see,u have ears u cant hear.useful *****.
he cried for a fool like you who wasted your vote for pf !!! now see how u suffering chikala no mealie meal in the country and u talking rubbish here i come 2016 let me finish ma phd chikala uleya na kusukulu
He cried when he thought about what Zambians would go through under PF regime. He was crying for Zambians and not the pain of loosing elections!
Oh, and RB please tell Sata’s extremist twin & temperamental soulmate Raila Odinga to accept defeat in kenya.The two are radical nutcases.
It is good to have our former president making a mark in the international community. We are behind you President Banda and we love you. I feel I should have voted for you instead of SATA. What a waste of votes I made.
Says RB two and half year’s later when he realises the prudence of conceding without persuasion. Yes, KK and Storella will not say otherwise because they need you and Zambia to be a good example. Meanwhile, 15 people died in Kenya ellections at your watch RB, but no word to condemn the incident would come from your mouth. You want to show everybody that you are an angel yet you are allowing your son to evade the law and allowing Amsterdam to abuse your countrymen. In your message after the election you should have put it clear that you concede to give example for all other African leaders to follow the rule of law. Your words are a little too late now and we already know what happened that night. Why now, RB, Why now? You want the commonwealth team to hear?
Kaunda and Storella are free persons and allowed to freely air their views, unless you mean to say that rb has a hold of them, they can’t speak their mind. Let them say something, will should you be a typical zambian and conclude on their behalf? To you rb should have just kept quiet and you would have been happy. It pleases us to know otherwise-to bad for you.
#8 Mama,
You are of low caliber like PF Sata who has not up to now realised he is President because of his inferiority complex.
Honestly if u are a normal person u can not defend the indefensible THUGS PF Sata & his evil rotten corrupt Ministers who deserve to be shot in front of State House by Zambians.
How do u defend Sata & his ministers for the shortages of Mealie Meal, Fuel & Farming input which never happened in Zambia since we Zambians removed UNIP Dictator human sacrifice satanist Kenneth Kaunda in 1991?
U need to be fair to us Zambians who are suffering.
U moron Chimpanzee stop using govt resources/computers to blog here. No ordinary PF thug can be writing here on LT. Only Ministers & PS & others are the ones blogging here on PF behalf.
Mama….you are very correct. People died in Kenya and RB is telling us that elections in Kenya went well.Wat a lier!! I hate RB.
He went there as a monitor, mediator and senior African statesman. Not a peace keeper you clowns @mama. Yes it was expected that there would be violence, but it has been mitigated to the barest minimum. Why do you always want to look for faults where none exist and ignore those that are plainly in your indolent faces? like our Economy, Employment, Agricultural crisis where basal dressing is delivered in February..ZNS cadets raping civilians and for the first time in Zambia’s history, the list is in exhaustible so I will put etc.. You can hate RB all you want, that is not my problem, I want you to concentrate the problems Zambia is facing now because they are no longer his problem!
@Mama and whoever else. That violence Occurred on Sunday and those involved are already in court today.. So what does your dum.b ass have to say about that?
EXACTLY!
@Nkwazi__Flying: A true statesman advises his government and not alienating it. If RB is an angel and was good at governance, he will still be good today and advise the president on how to rum the office. Yet again, Shaka oZ will say it would be a waste of time. You cannot preach love in a foreign country and live with hate in your own. You cannot claim to respect other governments when you do not have an ounce of respect for your own. It is easy to tell your neighbour not to pee on the bed than to tell your family when they know you peed on the bed the previous night. This is what RB is doing. He wants to show credibility in the international forum while he is despised even by MMD in his country. Now he wants to clear the air about his concession because his actions that night still nag.
@ Mama, Shame on you, who said he was perfect, who hates whom, RB or his own government? They are willing to move mountains to get him in prison, now tell me is that a government that is willing to take advice, from Chipomo, Miyanda, Milupi, Sikota to HH and many more non politicians, this government has been advised. How much of that advise has been heeded? Jesus himself preached everywhere else but Nazareth unless someone wants to correct me. Which MMD dispises him? Kachingwe and Namugalas? And what concession are you talking about? Whatever it is, how does it improve or degrade your life or mine?
Switch on
Actually RB’s speech conceeding defeat was a great speech by any standards but in our country where there is so much hatred and bittrerness against each other, it really does not matter because what speaks always is the hatred we have for each other.
Nobody is an angel. There is always a dark side of every person. The problem comes in only when a person’s dark side outweighs the lighter side. I believe that is not the case with RB. Mark my word, no amount of hatred, jealosuy or malice will take away anything from the man’s growing stature as a statesman. Zambians should be proud that one of their our own is involved in promoting free and fair elections in Africa especially that the continent’s elections are usually marred with fraud and malpractices.
We are proud of RB but is he proud of us Zambians and the system we have? When Sata came in power he respected RB and asked him to represent the country in one or two ocassions. The RB goes to write an apology letter to Bush. Everything else that follows we all know. Now he is using a foreign ‘lawyer” to despise our government. This is not the making of a statesman. In order for you to be a statesman you need to respect your state. Sata defeated him, so what/ Let him get over it. Now for him to higher a loud mouthed lawyer to despise everything Zambian government is not right. Our government may be bad, but it is ours and we should put out heads together to support and correct it. Not hate and criticism day and night. What has HH and Mumba done to help with governance? RB their leader.
@mama
you maggots,these laptops kamimbya bought your to counter progressive minds on the blogs are just eating on your iq.you can’t stiffle the truth no matter how much postings you make to subtantiate your hollow points.lobe stanyookohhbyou will end up dull as winter kamimbya himself.20 years of practising no winapo akamulandu not even a contempt case.
#9.1 Mama,
U are a deficient animal whose place should be prison! Since when did Sata respect RB? Sata wouldn’t even go for RB’s family funeral!
Do u have dementia for u to forget that or u are using the old ways of propaganda of the old evil UNIP days when communist Kaunda chose to misinform Zambians using the very methods u are employing.
You animal
@john katobela and Shaka Oz: Apart from insults and hate what else do you have in your peewee brains? As Veep RB was mute. As president RB in three years was almost alienating Zambia from donors and other partners. He even disrespected the OP. He never listened to anyone when it come to corruption and underhand deals. Zambia turned to be his private company. If you think I am lying, why do you think he does not want to answer any question? A “statesman” who cannot answer questions from his state. Where is RB today? Tell me any one thing he has done to build democracy in Zambia since he left office. MMD rejected his call to maintain presidency. It took threats from GRZ over his severance for him to let go. Now he says I conceded without persuation. Shameless. I love RB. He is adorable.
@ john katobela and Shaka Oz. We maggots and animals using sponsored laptops are doing fine and trying to build our country. We support the president not because of what he can offer but what we can offer to build our beloved country. We supported MMD until they failed us. We will support PF and when they fail us we will support others. We support policies and plans not people. We did not support RB’s policy on corruption. We still do not support RB’s policy of lawlessness which he is fostering by shielding his son. We do not support his policy of turnishing Zambia’s name. Yes we maybe maggots and animals to you, but thank God we are still His creatures. We bless you for cursing us. May you reap what you sow in Jesus Name.
#9.1, YOU ARE. NOT WE ARE. I AM NOT PROUD OF ANY THIEF LIKE RB AND SONS.
@Peter: I was being sarcastic.
Shaka OZ and John……..Its like you are the only human on this blog and others are animals.But if i look at watever posting you do,its really amazing and very opposite.Animals,chimpanzees,magoots voted and thats why a human being is rulling.Don be bitter.
#9.8
I have a problem with your low IQ of thinking. U didn’t answer my questions why Sata has failed to solve the problems himself has created Mealie Meal shortages . U only gave an insensitive answer as expected from a PF Kaponya with a low IQ.
Shaka…well i have a low IQ. But my question is why didnt RB sort out these problems wen he was president?
Paolo, thanks for that wonderful question. Now let’s get the answer from Shaka.
RB did a wonderful thing by conceding defeat; dont demean him and much less express hate and unleash hate speech against him. Without that magnamity, we would not have PF in government.
The problem with zambians, still they believe bwinjifumu still. That past pepa is demonic, have facts bama mbala. RB is the best, not this cancer infected serpent
Just your choice of words alone suggests insults and hatred…
I AGREE WITH YOU. RB IS THE BEST THUG/THIEF.
RB is the best thief in the world.
And what exactly did RB steal? Was it your power of reasoning and fairness? Even your government has admitted that it does not have a case to present to Parliament for uplifting immunity. Stop the irrational hate you have for RB.
The man is spending half of his time nursing those soles and needs a suck to move around. He is portation client for that famous clinic in RSA.
Leave the Ngoni bull alone. We never asked you to take your bull for castration into an ox so that it just follows orders from Mmembe. in case you do not know, each time a fierce bull is castrated, it is never the same and even a small boy can yoke it!
Things are not alright in Zambians! Zambians are suffering more than they did even before 1991!
It is very predictable & with no doubt that Dictator Sata & his greedy corrupt Ministers are in for a rough ride, they will honestly be killed & lynched by Zambians in front of State House the way Gadaffi of Libya was killed or if they are luck they will be chased the way evil UNIP dictator was chased in 1991.
When i comment about Sata to be overthrown in whatever way, paid up & Ministers/PF cadres using govt resources on the internet react in a negative way.
We have never experienced Mealie Meal shortage before since 1991 not even when Zambia had Maize shortfall!
Very soon spontaneous riots will start that will cage Sata & all his corrupt PF leaders
Zambians are not as stupid as you think we are. Your analysis about the condition of Zambia is faulty. Please stop refering to the president as dictator. A dictator cannot allow people like HH who are constatly insulting him to go free. HH calls Sata as having no brains. He called him Chimbwi no plan. Sata has let HH go without him retaliating. HH and Mumba are pushing the envelop. They are both abussive and a pain to Zambia’s democracy. Yet Sata has not dictated over them. There is no negative declaration of governance that Sata has made.
As for mealie-meal, you should learn to fend for yourself. Government does not manufacture maize, People, you and I should manage our food and rations. When we fail, and if the government fails to help us manage, we shall voice out. We are not damn.
@Ed
iwe ****8 just blog under one name.you are the same fool coming on as mama that’s why in your puke HH is not missing.uleichushafye ****8 people have already made up their minds
##11.1 Ed
U keep changing your names u PF pig animals who are deficient in your thinking and thought processes.
You are abusing govt computers & internet to blog on here to defend evil Sata & his corrupt greed ministers. let me tell you including yourself (i know u may be even be a Minister since a kaponya PF does not have access to a computer), u deserve to be shot in front of State House since you have brought misery on Zambians.
Look at the Mealie Meal, Fuel & farming inputs shortages! Can’t u be ashamed u devil kaponya?
@ john katobela and Shaka Oz. I can be whoever I want to be. I can even be Nyoko, or Wiso. But that does not remove the fact that RB is lying and it should not take him 2 years to respond to statements made in September 2011. Of course RB is an agel to you and I have no quarrel with that. please keep on telling yourself that. Also keep on telling yourself that MMD will bounce back. I do not hate RB, HH, or Mumba. I only hate what they represent. RB – corruption and deceipt. HH – godlessness and atheism. Mumba – having the form of godliness but denying the power thereoff. Mumba takes the name of the LORD in vain.
As for you two. You may call Sata, who was annointed by God to lead Zambia, names. But it would remove from the fact that he is leading Zambia. 2016 God’s will will prevail.
TROUBLE IS ZAMBIANS INCLUDING YOURSELF EXPECT MANNA TO FALL FROM HEAVEN WITHOUT HAVING TO WORK HARD. MWAILASHA. WORK HARD FOR SWEETS.
#11.4 Ed
I did not know that u are an evil Roman Catholic Organisation child molester priest member. U need repentance & a big one for that matter baba!
Am now worried! No wonder u sound like a child with a low IQ! Surely u call HH & Mumba to be Godless?
And u call Satanist Sata a who? Sata with Kabimba having BEER with Catherine Namugala? & u call this godliness of Sata & Kabimba? Mmembe showing nude pictures in his Post & u call this godliness?
If this is what u call godliness in your evil child molesters priest Roman Catholic Organisation which even forced its POPE to resign because of the dirt in it, then am worried no wonder Zambians are dying of ritual deaths since Sata became President.
#11.5 Peter
U PF kaponya animals u amazes me even though u are changing names! No Zambians is asking for free Mealie Meal & fuel! What Zambians are asking for is the availability of Fuel & Mealie Meal & Farming inputs which used to be readily available on the market.
U are not even aware that Sichinga apologized to Zambians over the issues, u have stopped to think with your brains now u think with anus & stomach!
Honestly u guys u need to ask the Director of Intelligence at the Red Brick in Lusaka to give u the state of the nation so that u stop being childish here. Sata will never use a Minibus as he did in Livingstone he can be LYNCHED
Zambia is not under sanctions like Zimbabwe for us to have frequent Mealie Meal & Fuel shortages. It just shows how Sata is corrupt &…
@ Shaka Oz. Check your facts HH is an Occultist and he will never enter in a Church or talk about God. Have you ever heard him call upon the LORD of Hosts?
Mumba has love mammoth more than GOD. He declared it when he was veep. The God removed his favour and all he touches now turns into sour grapes. Look at MMD before and after Mumba.
When the country was mourning, a pastor was supposed to offer comfort. But not Mumba, he was in SA fighting for Zambia to be blacklisted. The pastor sent thugs to bit up Kachingwe. Tell me is there is any godliness in all these. At the rebranding retreat in Chilanga se preacher that perception is better than reality. The Bible teaches about wolves (reality) in sheep skin (perception). The man has lost it. He needs repentance.
#11.8 Ed
U sound like a false prophet/propagandist (in the last days…). Surely Kabimba & Sata with BEER with Namugala? If u were someone as a true christian and not 666 (Jesuit Trained killer) u would condemn Sata & Kabimba as satanists & cultist than what u are giving u satanist worshiper child molester Roman Catholic Priest animal.
Respond to what I wrote you headless chicken. I wrote on HH and Mumba. I have my own take on Kabimba, Sata and Namugala but that is for another day. I am neither Catholic, a prophet nor a propagandist.
who told you that thing are not alright in the country please if you are failing to buy kapenta for you family don’t think we all can’t afford.
Ke ke ke, ba ‘holy’ Ed has finally busted…keep your holiness out of such blogs
RB is a World Statesman not mentioning Zambians statesman. A very innocent man who has been justified innocent by evil Mmembe & Sata’s evil leadership & open tribal corruption in Zambia
Unlike Rupiah Banda, corrupt evil Dictator Sata will be prosecuted before he even leave State House, not mentioning Lusaka
Am just happy that Zambians hatred towards PF & Dictator Sata & his corrupt Minister’s deficient leadership style is building high up at a very high speed no one will stop it until it will explode in Sata’s face
Sata is a petty man with an inferiority complex, the man can not be saved by anyone.
Sata is a failure as every Zambian can see Mealie Meal, Fuel, Farming input shortages & Zambians queuing for essential commodities like in the communist UNIP KK’s days.
Shaka OZ!! Say ” I hate sata” not we or Zambians. Am very happy as a Zambian the way President Sata is rulling this nation.We are heading for a bright Zambia only that MMD had done more harm and this harm cannot be corrected in a yr or 2 or even 5.So dont say you are happy bcoz Zambians bla…bla…bla……..Say I and not we.
#12.1 Paolo Di Canio
Your name is a Latin name, may be u identify yourself with Sata on the Roman Catholic Organisation level! Its sad!
I honestly hate u & Sata for the misery u have brought on Zambians now! Can’t u see all these misery u devil kaponya?
U are using govt computers & internet to blog LT, when Zambians are wallowing in poverty! U devil worshiper sadist! No wonder u are provoking opposition members & killing your own kaponyas so that u win elections at all costs!
Only lossing MMD cadres and their relatives hate Sata. They think he put closed their endless treassure hole for them. Shaka Oz, soon your RB state funded computer will breakdown and we shall hear from you no more.
Who is more a failure? The failure who loses an election from a failure or the failure who wins an election from a self proclaimed statesman? Now the statesman says I condeded without persuassion. Come to Zambia and face the Zambian’s whom you want to expel from commonwealth. The Zambian’s whom you are depriving the rule of law to prevail on your son James.
#12.3 Ed
U are writing incoherently like the way sick Dictator Sata speaks. U are like addressing local people in your room u animal
Surely Zambians queuing for Mealie Meal, Fuel & Farming inputs shortages in Solwezi, Chipata, Lundazi, Kasama u call these Zambians losing MMD cadres & that they like Sat who is causing the misery they are suffering from?
U are insulting Zambians! This how insensitive u animals PF kaponyas can be! U have no emotions & u think Zambians who are complaining are MMD cadres
How can a Zambian who never experienced shortages of Mealie Meal, Fuel & Farming inputs like Sata?
U really need change in u psychopathic heads. Otherwise u will wake up one day when Zambians will be on the march to State House to Lynch & kill Sata & all his evil ministers
Ba Shaka Oz, There are shortages of commodities in Zambia. You resort to insulting and hating the president. This is the damnest thing I have ever seen or heard. What solutions have you provided. I am sure you do not expect Sata to provide a solution since you have despised him as a psychopath, brainless dictator. A political problem is soved polically. A financial problem is solved financially. An economic problem economically. Commodity shortage by commodity provision and not insults and hate. The only Zambians insulting the president are you, the MMD and UPND cadres. The PF cadres are also suffering from the shortages and are not happy. But hate and insults will not put food on the table or fuel a car. Grow up. Be constructive. MMD will not bounce back just deal with it or forever cry.
#12.5 Ed
You have a very low IQ. U imbecile. Am not talking about MMD bouncing back neither am i an MMD nor UPND cadre, Your answers are very childish & they can just be compared to MASEBO & Kabimba’s low IQ child who was sent to Zambian Embassy in Japan.
Zambians are not facing perennial political nor economical problems. These is the first time Zambians are lining & queuing up for Mealie Meal & Fuel. Which only happened in communist Eastern Europe or countries undr sanction like Zimbabwe.
Zambia is not under sanction mind u?
U ignorant low IQ PF animal, Sata & his incompetent tribal ministers are the ones who has created all these for the first time in the history of Zambia since Zambians removed another evil UNIP Dictator KK in 1991!
#12.5 Ed
Sata need to solve these problems since he has created them himself. There are no political issues in Zambia its Sata who has created them.
Just imagine your prostitute PF mother queuing for Mealie Meal & being pushed by guards & taken advantage of? Its not a good thing to pass through.
Only Sata likes to make Zambians suffer like this because he is a sadist
But Ed, can you explain to me why these commodities are ALL in short supply? Who is responsible for it? We should not have to advise Sata because the has f*kn Ministers employed for that purpose. He appointed failures and thieves who are hounding out the hard-working amongst their ranks, and guess what birds of a feather do? I would ascribe to the brainless dictator idea too because no right thinking president sits back,laughs and insults when he turns on his own words that he said in promise to his people, doesn’t see anything wrong with the state of the nation under his rule but is very happy to blame his predecessors, using the police like bloodhounds and borrowing money with no real plan for repayment. We are not all daft like you ED, we wanted change for the better.
I AM VERY HAPPY THE WAY ZAMBIA IS NOW BEING RUN. HARD-WORK IS BEING ENCOURAGED.
#12.9 Peter
Surely no wonder i now understand why people say PF is full of kaponya animals like u.
Surely how is hardworking encouraged when people are working hard & have money but they do not have Mealie Meal & fuel & Farmig inputs to buy?
U animal PF kaponya! Do u call these hardworking?
U are very insensitive evil pig who because u have free govt computers & internet to use & waste off do not evn understand what an ordinary Zambian struggle is!
No wonder Sata increased his salary the first thing before he did anything for Zambians even when they were experiencing mealie Meal shortages & with empty stomachs.
U will end up provoking Zambains to take to the street & lynch u from State house & lodges
Hahahaha….you will never rule as long as you are bitter!!! PF is here to stay.
ke ke ke ‘holy’ ED, you are making me laugh. You are trying so hard to pretend to be an independent mind yet your postings reveal exactly where your bread is buttered…awe imwe na ba Shaka, very funny ama ribs ya ba ba…ke ke ke…
@Peter, like Pompi said in his lovely song Mizu; it’s not the tree it is the roots. Our hard work is a result of all else we have been through not because of PF. You have no right to belittle me to such levels, I as a citizen of this country not a political party and I DEMAND respect! I am a youth who has never seen prosperity in my land but find it in my history books, I would like to do my part and ensure my children see a prosperous nation, but it starts today with a unified mindset. Knowledge afforded and opportunities provided. It is the whole nation and not just f*kn PF that is going to make that happen you UNDERSTAND! SHA!
silent one i wouldnt want to be on the dark side of RB.This man cried because his run sacking of our beloved nation had been cut short.Only God knows what was going to become of Zambia had we given him another chance.Mind you RBS firms where associated with bankruptcy and this is were zambia was heading to.
Hate the haters. you have been brainwashed and your mind is still picking the negative vibes that the misinformation bureau of government is churning out. The economy was positive under RB and was moving forward but now its static. I urge all Zambians to pray hard such that whatever lies are peddled whether from government or opposition the truth will always prevail
It’s agonising to be a sponsored blogger especially by a daft by kamimbya.you end up getting embarassed just like that.RB has surpassed even kaunda’s stature as of today Age defying in the next 5 years RB will be mentioned to head one of these top UN organs.sata wont come closer to where RB is today both in international recognition and of how they steered mother zambia as presidents
YOU SEE THIS IS THE WASTE PART OF JUSTICE DELAYED…., IT LEGITIMATES WRONG-DOERS APART FROM DENYING IT TO THE OFFENDED- ZAMBIANS. THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH CHILUBA. LEVY THOUGHT IT WAS TIME TO USE CHILUBA’S CASE FOR HIS OWN PERSONAL GLORY. SO HE DELAYED JUSTICE AND IN THE PROCESS WENT KAPUT AND HERE CAME THE BAFOON WHO DECLARED CHILUBA INNOCENT. AND CHILUBA EVEN STARTED GETTING MORE OF PEOPLES’ WEALTH. RB NOW THINKS HE DID NOT COMMIT ANY OFFENSE BECAUSE IT HAS DOESN’T SEE HIMSELF BEING CONVICTED BY THIS GOVT AND HE’S LAUGHING WHOLE HIS WAY TO THE TOILET.
RB,Tell the people the truth!! Its true RB did not accept defeat.He asked ECZ to do everything possible they could do to make sure that the elections are rigged.Let us not forget so easily people pliz!! Mumba almost announced her resignation just b4 the elections results bcoz of preesure that was exerted on her.
It true it took Storrella,Kaunda,Milupi and the others to convince him to conced defeat.RB,let me tell you, dont make our healing wounds fresh.
Learn to tell the truth. Remember thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbour. number 14 you were not there AS SUCH THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT CAN TELL US WHAT TRANSPIRED are RB, KK and US ambassador. lets cease from peddling in lies. Are you people not ashamed?
Who told you ?
THAT’S THE TROUBLE WITH ZAMBIANS. THEY FORGET SO EASILY. TRULY, THEY ARE “USEFUL FOOLS”.
What can RB tell us, the most corrupt president we have ever had in Zambia. A person who made foreigners look more Zambians than Zambians. He allowed chinese guys to shoot , kill and insult Zambians as if they were dogs. I feel so sick to see RB open his mouth. Let him just keep quiet, thats why we removed him coz he could not protect interests of Zambians. Shame on him.
Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.
@Truth Hates
& What is Sata doing u animal like Sata?
Dictator Sata is even gone further than that; He is a proclaimed communist who sent Injustice Minister Kabimba to communist autocratic dictatorial govt in Cuba & Sata will be going to China as a proclaimed communist to address the Chinese media.
Mind u moron chimpanzee, Sata has never addressed Zambians journalists nor Zambians at large but he is going to China.
Communists do not understand the language of language of democracy like just u Sata has failed to adjust to democratic way of life from the way he used to run opposition PF the communist way.
Sata is just evil.
Just wait, it is just too early for Zambia to experience Mealie Meal, Fuel & Farm input shortages so early.
Ba SHAKA hate Sata or not, the truth is that he is president till 2016, and he is also going to clobber the opposition by landslide in 2016. People voted for him and they like him as he is protecting their interests. Only bitter and frustrated people like you are not happy for him(Sata) being president. Go hang if you cant swallow this fact. Shame on you SHAKA. …shaaaaaa.
What is the relationship beetween you and hate the haters.you are the same fool you iddiot.we know you jiggers are using goverment computers.i wouldnt be surprised if one of you is malipenga.
#15.2 The Truth
Surely Zambians suffering & queuing for Mealie Meal, Fuel & Farming inputs shortages in Solwezi, Chipata, Lundazi, Kasama u call these Zambians losing bitter & frustrated & that they like Sata who is causing the misery they are passing thru?
U are insulting Zambians! This how insensitive u PF animals are! U have no emotions & u think Zambians who are complaining shortages of Mealie Meal, FUEL & Farming inputs are bitter & frustrated?
How can Zambians who are experiencing shortages of Mealie Meal, Fuel & Farming inputs like Sata?
U really need SCREW DRIVER in u psychopathic heads. Zambians will soon be on the march to State House to HANG Sata & all his evil ministers including u PF animals kaponyas
U Agricultural minister apologised! Do u agree with him?
#15.2 The Truth
Sata will soon be clobbered if he wont change his way of governance of dictatorship
Ask the Director of intelligence at the Red Brick to give you the state of Zambia currently! There is tension which is building at a very high rate fast forward speed.
This tension can not be defused through lies & intimidation nor propaganda but diplomacy.
I treasure our president….bcoz if i was Sata,RB woundnt have been free.RB destroyed this nation and i still wonder wat could have happened by now if he had worn.
RB failed completely…he is the worst president that Zambia has ever produced.I dont know wat mwanawasa saw in this man…….Hisshhhhhhhhh.
THE THING I HATE ABOUT SATA IS THAT HE IS ALSO TAKING HIS TIME TO BRING TO BOOK MMD THIEVES STARTING FROM THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND SONS, AND HIS MINISTERS. JUSTICE DENIED. NOW, ARMSTADAM IS ENJOYING STOLEN MONEY FROM THESE THIEVES AND HIM BEING A FOREIGNER DOESN’T CARE A DAMN. HE WELL KNOWS THAT THE MONEY HE IS ENJOYING IS STOLEN FROM FROM POOR ZAMBIANS. HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW HE HAS NOW GROWN FAT FROM THE SAME POOR SWEET ZAMBIANS’ MONEY?
Peter
Wait u pigs u will spend the rest of your time in prison. U criminals PF kaponyas
Shaka..oz. Why does the truth hate you?? Up to now you have not believe that SATA is the president? Am sure you are amomg these who will be implicated soon thru RB’s corruption activities.Once RB is implicated,we will stop seeing anything from here on this blog and we will know that you are part of the corrupt activities.
I hate Sata with a passion. How I wish someone could drill his *************
hahahaha hate sata as much as you want…and then what..? Sata and pf are here to stay bululu…
Mmmmm, you “hate Sata with a passion”? I hope you are not having WET DREAMS while in your ‘passionate’ mood!
Sata is here to stay…….and in 2016 he will still rule as the fruits have are being seen.He is a man for the people.Some of you chaps on this blog are just bitter and wat you are saying is not making sense nowonder other people are not responding to such insults.DONT BE BITTER GUYS…SATA IS RULING.
why don’t you go and do it yourself? you want someone to kill him for your own hate? do it yourself bwana
I don’t think under normal circumstances one could think a person can go for all this time without food. I am definitely grounded with not even money to buy air time. I have reached at the end of my tether. It is not deliberate to have come to this kind of phenomenon but is because of pressure. Life is not fair guys, despite being the list paid among other
So you want the government to give you food? Go push the wilbarrow and earn something for your food.
THATS WHAT I SAID- ZAMBIANS WANT TO BE SPOON-FED WITH A COPPER SPOON. I WISH IT WERE ME SPOON-FEEDING THEM. I WOULD USE A RED-HOT SPOON FOR THEM TO START FEEDING THEMSELVES. THEY ARE DAMN LAZY. THATS WHY THE RBs OF THIS ZAMBIA SIMPLY STEAL FROM THEM. THEY ARE EVEN TOO LAZY TO SEE A THIEF.
Hahahaha….Peter, I like it “They are even too lazy to see a thief” like RB. In RB’s cases,alot of the guys on this blog are implicated.So they dont want anything to talk abt RB’s corrupt practices.MUNGENA MU CHIMBOKAELA, EMBEKEZANI CHEE!!! First we lift his immunity and soon that will be done.
The man is shamelessly lying.
RB lying thru his teeth….
Big L lying thru his pants!!
Big big lies and he is luck he is even opening his mouth.
Ba Kwena is busy stalking my comments instead of being logical and put in some work.. Kwena please calm your tits….
HE’S BECOMING A “USEFUL FOOLISH” LIAR FOR ARMSTADAM. ARMSTADAM IS WORKING AGAINST ZAMBIA FOR THE SWEET STOLEN MONEY TO THE COMMON WEALTHY…, WHATEVER AND RB MIGHT HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO LIE SO THAT THE JOURNEY TO CONVINCE THE COMMON WEALTHY THAT ZAMBIAN GRZ IS ABUSING HUMAN RIGHTS IS EASY FOR HIM. RB IS ANOTHER, “USEFUL FOOL”, ISN’T HE?
RB is doing good work now and possibly representing Zambia well out there. But he was not a good leader. He encouraged corruption and even weakened lwas that were put in place to check the practice. He cared little about the counrty. He sold Zamtel for a song. He was about to sell all GRZ schools and hospitals. God saw this and intervened.
Sata has reversed a lot of these negatives and is now starting activities that will improve poverty levels in the country. Bitter people do no see this. All they know is condemn him and offer no solutions. They even forget, the president works with several other people, and most of them are far learned and experienced tnat the bitter bloggers. If things remain as they are now, PF would still remain the best option in 2016.
Isaac…really good analysis”If things will be going like this,2016 is for PF”.
SPOT ON BUDDY. RB WAS LIKE A MAD THIEF. HE LEFT ZAMBIA BLEEDING. WHAT IS HE CHAMPIONING? THAT’S WHY AMERICAN DEMOCRACY CAN NEVER WORK IN THIS WORLD. IT#S SCREWED.
I hear all those in missions have been asked to insult dissenting view and also insult commonwealth commissioners on ZWD and LT. Check postings!!!!!!!
YOU MEAN THAT (ZWD) PAPER FOR MURDERERS?
ZWD is a paper for murders and satanists…….The said wen Sata wins there will be war and people are peaceful bt they want to engage innocent youths in such murders.IT WILL NEVER WORK OUT .YOU BITTER CHAPS!!
No matter how big you complaint or email will be nothing will change your lifestyle if you do not want to work and change it. You insulted KK, Chiluba, Mwanawasa, RB and now you are busy insulting and condemning Sata. No matter how big your email could be insults or not, Sata is our president. Even if we put your favourite HH, Chipimo, Miyanda, NAwakwi, or Nevers you will continue insulting so Sata is ok for now. Shortages of things has always been there. Say something good to assist Sata govern the nation well, then we will grade u as working not just complaints all the time.
Isaac Chinkwa is rite, offer solutions to our problems.
Rupia bola panshi.don’t disgrace yourself further.And you guys defending nonsense from RB…you must be very irresponsible citizens i.e defilers,thieves etc.
Who doesn’t know that some election officials even resigned briefly when Rupia and his minions wanted to twist the election results?
Who desnt know that some senior election officials wanted to flee because bloodshed was eminent?
Please guys sit down and do other sensible things.i pity you guys.
I can assure you Rupia wont enjoy his forced retirement.He did a lot of evil that has brought misery to Zambia.
HE IS A STINKING THIEF, RB. HIS THIEVING STINKS LIKE HIS PIT LATRINE IN CHIPATA.
Very BIG robberer!! He does not derseve to be free…….he will just die just like his firend did after being told that Sata will win.
Plz tell us what he stole plz, plz……all that I have read is the Post Newspaper stating “allegations” that he stole and yet many of you are withholding information from the Police/ACC which info can help make a case against rb. It is amazing that you are cowards, I can help with details of where the Police/ACC stations are situated.
If you hate Sata TOUGH! Commit sucide period.
Really if you hate him,go and die and we shouldnt see you body.
thats the advise you can give, if it comes to pass it will be a national disaster.
Petty issues is this even important? whether you were told or you did it on your own dont matter! when you loose, you have to accept like it of not, the fact is it hurt you when you lost, chinakubaba, you and all that had something to do with it, given a chance you would love to craw back to that post, you and all in opposition including some chaps in the current government period! Who are you fooling? yourselves, i will be damnd if you or anyone in your circle of that vile camp, HH and Pastor wabufi get to that post, that day i will cease to be Zambian, you disgust me all yo bad nuts including dirty ministers!
Bauzeeee banveseseee!!!

Why is so much effort being expended trying to WHITEWASH RB’s corruption and shortcomings when he was in office? If he is such an Angele, he surely doesn’t need to convince anyone of this. Zambians are perfectly capable of remembering the “good” things he did and graciously thank him for it.
Nonetheless, trying to LAUNDER himself might work among the international community, but it surely will never suffice with Zambians who lived through the short but intensely corrupt three years of RB’s rule.
As the saying goes; “The best defense is an offense!” And all you have to do to realize that this is the strategy at work here is to simply listen to his rabid lawyer (Armstad…) and MMD cadres speak!
I thought people were WORKING VERY HARD TO INCRIMINATE BANDA. I see it in the national newspapers and the Post with almost every hardline. If it is not rb then hh. It is tiring. There are few bloggers who want the right thing to be done instead of Zambia wasting more money on prosecuting a non-winnable case. Imagine the Courts and State prosecutors dedicating their time to a lost cause like it was in the ftj situation. You can cry all you want that Chiluba was wrongly acquitted well if the court says so then he is free.
As for hardlines, what I never see are developmental issues, what is happening to the change that people voted for? Going back to mmd……
ZAMBIANS?? LET RB REST SURE, WHAT WRONG DID HE DO TO CONCEDE DEFEAT?? YOU WANTED US TO END UP LIKE KENYA OR IVORY COAST??OR DID YOU WANT US TO BE LIKE ZIMBABWE? WHETHER OR NOT FORCED? I SALUTE THE MAN. HE DID THE RIGHT THING FOR ZAMBIANS?? WAIT AND SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH PF? I CAN SEE THEM BEHAVING WORSE THAN MMD? WITH THIS NONSENSE OF KILLING EACH OTHER? WE NEED SERIOUS PRAYERS FOR OUR COUNTRY. WELL DONE RB DON’T LISTEN IMMATURE SELFISH PEOPLE.
WHAT PRAYERS CAN YOU EXPECT FROM CROOKS CALLED PASTORS TO HEAL ZAMBIA? YOU CAN EVEN TELL CURRENT CROP OF PASTORS ARE CROOCKS JUST THE WAY THEY DRESS…..COLOURS LIKE PEACOCK.
ANGONI, THE ISSUE HERE IS NOT WITH PF BUT WITH RB. HE IS LYING. WHY DID THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION CHAIRMAN THREATEN TO RESIGN TWO DAYS INTO COUNTING OF THE ELECTION RESULTS? WHO PLEADED WITH HER NOT TO QUIT? AKULU ABA ALIKUNAMA BOZA CHABE APA. AONA KUTI TUMA TRIPS TWAPAKA LOMBA AFUNA KUONESA MONGA HE IS A DEMOCRAT. HE IS NOT AND IF IT WAS NOT FOR PVT, OFCOURSE WE COULD HAVE ENDED UP LIKE A MINI KENYA. THE MAN WAS GEARED TO CLING ON TO POWER. WHO WAS HE TELLING TO DO SOMETHING? WHAT WAS THAT SOMETHING? FOR ONCE LET HIM TELL THE TRUTH
Mama, well said. I cannot agree with you more!
SHREK Banda was rejected by Zambians period. His regime was simply embarassingly irritating. Public media houses were gagged to a level of party propaganda. The only stars on ZNBC were Rupia Banda, George Kunda, Dora Siliya Bums, Ronnie Mphuno Shikapwasha and heads of fake NGOs like Kalonde, Siulapwa, Chifire, Lifwekelo etc. It so happened that Zambians were able to dispell this bull fart from Shrek. We chose the only viable alternative out of so many. We are here for the long haul. If you are not ready to rock on the boat, jump out! Seleni tubombeko bangwele.
Shrek Banda? Iyeeeeeeee hehehehehehheheheheheheh, wansekesha bad, keep them coming.
Ba mwanawina why should you hate ba Noah with a passion when he rescued you from the terrible floods and storms of RB?How can you have a president who used to just roast mbuzi with his body guards?Ba Noah is the man of the moment and you’ll see the kind of legacy this man will leave in this nation.Just be a hard worker and not lazying around like RB
))RB. did you have a choice not to concede defeat?Hey some of you bloggers you always complain!even when Mwanawasa was there you complained!Grow up and start working hard for your families,not even Obama is perfect!Even to your so called HH,etc you will start complaining),RB)
but when he was there you used to complain,let’s work hard for our country,and give Credit where Sata is doing well and correct constractively where he errrors,noone will develop this country for you!Some of the people you are supporting hardly know what it means to sleep hungry!and they don’t care if your child can’t go to school or whatever.If you are teens please spare us your crap and consult from our elderly people how Zambia was then and now,not just complaining !
One thing you cannot fool Zambians about is that when gaps are as large as 40,000, you have no choice but to concede.
Imwe mwe bantu, you are so funny all of you and I am dying with laughter kuno ku abroad…ke ke ke ke
RB,
PF VICTORY WAS RESOUNDING AND THE BLOW WAS A KNOCK OUT PUNCH. YOU FAILED THE COUNT WHEN YOU LAY ON THE FLOOR MOTIONLESS AS THE REFEREE CALLED FOR AN AMBULANCE, HOW WHAT EXCUSE WERE YOU GOING TO USE?
KWENA BA NKOLOKO GALU (WATCH POPI) NA BENGILA PA LT. HEHHEHEHEHEHEHE BA SHAKA OZ, UMMMM, LIKE YOU GET PAID FOR IT. KEKEKEKEKEKE, ANYWAY WHO KNOWS. KWATI BA HECHI HECHI NI BA MBUYA BAKWE???? LOOOOOOOOLEST.
But why did he cry?
Losing election for a “sitting president” in Sub Sahara Africa is enough ground to have his/her immunity removed.
Guys, 2016 is very near. just be patient for your time to govern (Most likely at least 15 years from now). The opposition is becoming increasingly desperate. Please have some dignity and be gentlemen until your turn to rule comes.
15 years, how old will sata be? tebukopo fye ubo. ninshi nika mugabe in the making! that’s just sickening naimwe. think of the younger generations not just selfish reasons,
Who said Sata will be around 15years from now and who says the death if Sata will be the very end of PF? For you wn info, Sata might not even stand in 2016 as PF candidate. They’ll have someone else. Mark my words!
‘Every time RB speaks my haemorrhoids hurt.’ WK
Zambia learn something from Kenya on election violence? I don’t think so – Kenya has buried thousands of people due to election violence in the past, with Zambia maybe I could name each person there are so few. What a total fukwit this RB is, using his position to try to stoke Kenya-style conflict in Zambia!!!!
Aini zo ona, ati “learn from Kenya”, kwati bushilu! kenyan electoral violence makes our recent by-elections look like a picnic.
AlaBee akamba ngako, ayenera kuyenda kumunda kusiya kupanga chongo maningi. lol
How come inaugauration invitation cards were already printed by cabinet office.
