    • After failing to appear for any radio or television interviews or addressing a pressing conference, ailing president Michael Sata failed to give the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) an opportunity to interview him.
      Sources at State House have told the Watchdog that BBC reporter Veronica Eduards came into the country almost two weeks ago after she was assured by Sata’s Spokesperson George Chellar that she will interview the Zambian president.
      But since she came, Chellar has been dodging the BBC reporter but kept giving her different times when he would interview the president.The BBC reporter also sought for the intervention of former president Kenneth Kaunda to interview but Kaunda also could not manage.

    • Further efforts to get an interview with the president using finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda also failed.

      The BBC reporter left the country this morning after all efforts to offer the Zambian president an opportunity to clear some of the negative issues of governance about the country failed.
      Sources said the BBC wanted to balance some of the stories they have been running quoting Zambian opposition leaders regarding Zambia’s poor governance and human rights record under PF but the president could not avail himself.
      “What is even embarrassing is that George Chellar had earlier promised the BBC that they would interview the president.

    • So these people now just wasted money and time sending a reporter all the way from United Kingdom based on prior arrangement only to be snubbed by the Chellar and the president himself,” sources said.
      Sources said it looks like they were scared that issues surrounding the president’s health would also be raised in the interview and so they changed their mind without informing Veronica Eduards of BBC.
      There has so far been several requests and demands from several stakeholders to have Mr. Sata address a press conference or feature for a radio and TV interview and offer policy guidelines but has failed.

    • This Man should resign on grounds that he can no longer pleasure Kaseba. There is no way this man can give Christina an Orgas*m. Its too much to ask for. I don’t wish him death but I really don’t like him becuase he is Tribalistic. Always trying to please only the Bembas and other Monkey eaters. Son of a Kolwestan!!!! Sha Masipa!!!!

    • Do you remember the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chávezs picture with his two daughters splashed on the front pages of the world media ? What happened after the world was shown that photo???????? No prices for guessing. Donchi

    • Long live the Cobra bayete! This is the man as kids we would hear stories that he had sued Cocacola Company because he found a fly in it and won millions at that time.The so called Educated even if you found a cockroach in your soup ,you would just remove it and ndwiii and lap up your soup.

    • Bupe, what are you, the governments gossip person…get a life!!…Narrating the tuma details of the BBC reporter as if they pay you

    • But ask when those chiefs went to state house. That should have been a month or two months ago. We dont want pictures of our president we want to see him visit soweto market or chibolya as he used to do it when he was in the opposition. And one does not have to be on bed to be sick. The man does not look himself really.

    • i wish him a long life,so that he watches how he wil fall after loosing,i want him to see that by him self because wen i come itno power i wont let him be am telling you.he has not done my people good and has ignord my people

  1. those who were asking questions and wishing Sata ill clearly you will wait for his demise longer than you would want…SATA is killing haters softly….wake up and smell the coffee…

  2. Picture Number 3 and 5 shows some inflamation on MCS’s right hand side, i wonder what he is carrying!!!
    I also wonder how many chiefs were there coz these chiefs are not known by many of us, someone cant just put on a crown and be identified as one..lol

    Zed Jokes

  3. The Northern Agenda meeting. Agenda: How to loot Zambia by allocating resources to Northern and “Muchinga” provinces!

    • there you go again…
      always being negative even on straight forward matters.
      will you stop this ‘kano nga nibo’ syndrome.
      it will kill you.

  4. You Guys dont be infatuated with defending the President’s health. You are playing to the anti-Sata agenda. Just ignore the suspicions

  5. This man is very fit and I dont see why people say he is sick. May I be educated about how sick people look like?? Stop the nonsense please, this pictures where taken today the 25-03-2013. The president should not always be seen even when you know its obvious, that is what I know. I think the presido is clever than most if not all the Journalists. The media is for the opposition. Long live the presido.

  6. I dont think there is anybody who said he is dead,the slacks are falling though,see what pressure can do,Statehouse resorts to pictures! It reminds me of Saddam Hussein.

  7. Hope the prophets of doom are seeing this.How i hate people who wish sickness and death on others.Politics shouldn`t make us to lose our sense of compassion and love for one another.

  8. but where is the urine bag hidden..lol..hahahahahahahahahaha..yaba..we are tired of lies why can’t he come out of hibernation..?

    • When you wish Sata ill, you wish the country ill as well. What kind of Zambians are you who are so unpatriotic? Pray for Sata that he leads the country well and pray for a better Zambia mwembushi mwe!

  9. Can you tell a persons state of mind from pictures? What if he was telling the Chiefs, “When I was Paramount Chief of Muchinga Province in 1968 I appointed you all as Chiefs through my Kapaso Hakainde Hichilema. So you must all go fishing so that our fish do not die of natural causes.” Would you still say he is fit? Why do you think there is no audio to go with these pictures?

  10. THAT IS SATA FOR YOU ALWAYS AHEAD OF HATERS. DEGREE HORDERS AMISEPA, 2011 AMISEPA, NIODWALA UYO NAKABILI AMISEPA. MWACEPA SANA BA UPND N MMD. MAN OF MASSIVE EXPERIENSE. SATA UNTIL 2021

  11. Sick bane. Anso very sick. The Post would have been releasing toxic and sacarstic editorials aginst that if all was fine. They are noty quiet for nothing. Ministers and cadres who were very loud and arrogant even not long ago are now humble. Why are they humble?

  12. These pictures do not prove he is fine. Actually this is just acting to cameras after which he went back in bed.

  13. we want to see the president live on znbctv adressing those chiefs from chinsali….we cnt belive in pictures only…….remember what goes around comez back…sata used to talk more over late mwanawasa’s health………..

  14. there you go again…
    always being negative even on straight forward matters.
    will you stop this ‘kano nga nibo’ syndrome.
    it will kill you.

  15. Let’s do it the Chavez way. Let him be seen holding today’s Daily nation’ Newspaper. Then I will know those pictures are current. Not the ‘Post’. Those guys are capable of cooking anything.

  16. Too sad for me underfive Hichilema. I thought I would capitalize on lies that Sata wasn’t well. Oh how I was deceived by this uncouth site called Watchdog. I think like many others I have now resolved to be reading Lusaka Times for objective, balanced and well researched news, and only log on to WATCHDOG when I want to laugh based on the many lies and hallucinations carried on that site. Oh poor me, how deceived was I? I am ashamed of my self for being a complete fool

  17. This is confirmation of his illness. See the following facts.
    1. He normally does not like buttoning his jacket and like putting hands in pocket, that’s not the case now
    2. Look at the lower part of his jacket, he is protruding on the side. Sata is not fat and have never had a long stomach.

    3. His face and hands look swollen not relative to his body proportion.

    4. The cameraman avoided taking a closer photo shoot.

    5. His hair has thinned and even the hair bleach hasn’t helped to disguise the loses.

    The man is deteriorating fast and cancer eating him slowly. He is most likely on high doses of pain killers and energizers.

    It’s sad ou UKWA is on his way to time out.

  18. He must be very sick, he has lost his all his fear of bald men and is even talking to a bald chief!

  19. These pictures do not prove he is fine. Actually this is just acting to cameras after which he went back in bed. These are just mind games

  20. This a very strange behavior indeed by the govt! everyone knows that in this day and age pictures can easily be doctored. why cant the president just come out and talk to his people? why is he hiding and releasing pictures? is that being a man of action? We are lucky we are living in country that values its peace and stability if it was other countries just this behavior would have warranted action from the people.

  21. Those are old pictures, Sata and the wife are not in the country, he is receiving some treatment abroad. Why would a health and alive fail to avail himself to the public anyway. We have been through this and we do not need to see picture to believe he is in state house. We all know bamudala besu balwele! State house can fool some people sometimes but they cannot fool all the people all the time! We wish him quickly recovery though!

  22. Zambians are so gullible,these could be last years pictures.Since when did state house start releasing pictures in response to online media.Let the President hold a press conference then we will believe he is okey.Nice try though- shows you guys are busy blogging instead of attending to national duties.

    • i agree with you too porous to think through things before they conclude..all they do is just believe and belive nowonder they believed 90days nonsense..for all i care those are last years pics

  23. If HH was to hold such a meeting with chiefs from his province here in Lusaka, the hypocrites would pull hairs from their bald heads screaming TRIBALISM….Here they are doing it with impunity and all of us are too docile to call a spade a spade!…pardon us while we get sick of this hypocrisy!

  24. steroids at work gentlemen and ladies. the president is not well. reality check let him address the nation pictures taken from a long time ago meeting.

  25. I can show u pictures of a dead man,even those of Mwanawasa. so what is the excitement about pictures. MC is alive, we need more to shame the critics. LT we need better evidence.

    • I can see the boat is capsizing because the chief paddler is ailing and is fast losing strength to stand the waves.

    • Why ??? The question that comes to mind is ,when were the pics taken, two years ago? The fact that they cannot get the Prez to address the nation and allay these fears that he is ailing . Looks like we are in for a change of government.

  26. Shame UPND and your empty tin HH, Sata his a principled leader who does not want to appear anyhow whilst his surbodinates are just sitted idle in thier offices thats why they even to an extent of stealing public fund because of being idle in office better he sends them to work in his place. Sata is not like HH who comments even on useless issues. LONG LIVE OUR PRESIDENT!!

  27. What is all this fuss among PF hopani-cadres about the president being fit? If you can’t tell just from his swollen face that the man is sick then you are still as dull as you were in 2011 and talking to you is a waste of intelligent time. Keep on pleasuring yourself.

  28. Many of you guys are so used to Heads of State who are always in the limelight pretending to be working. Sata is a man of action. He is busy working for mother Zambia away from the public eye, only results will show what he has been doing. Posterity will surely be the judge! Keep on working my President, we are behind you.
    As for those who are playing to the gallery…. you know them, no need to mention their names, when they finally wake up, it will be 2016 and they will be in the opposition again because the foreigners they are trying to impress could not cast a single vote in their favour! God Bless our President! God bless Mother Zambia!

    • I was actually going to post my own comment and say that President Sata is not for show, he is a working man.

      Too much kulova ma Zambians. People spend the whole day witch hunting, fantasising and gossiping instead of working.

      Long live Zambia, long live President Michael C Sata! Mulungu adalitse!

  29. This is a stage managed gimmick just for the cameras. That’s why it is Bemba chiefs. The man looks confused. He looks like a walking zombie. His ministers also look worried on their faces.

  30. What amazes me is lack of understanding that it does not mean when you are president you need to be seen on TV radio or going around public place. Security cost a lot of money. Route lining cost money

  31. The watch dog is the one who are sick in the head. Why do you wish other people to be sick. In Zambia people are occupied with lies, in Europe and America, no one has time to dwell one stupid senseless, things, its all work my dear. Shame on you watch dog for spreading lies.

  32. Yep that’s my presido kicking and running the affairs of this great country Zambia those who wish him dead are devils and if God is on our side too bad bane long live HE MCS long Live PF and God continue protecting and blessing
    my president…

  33. The photos are not dated. I did not see any advance announcement about the meeting. However, not being partisan, I give them the benefit of the doubt that the meeting was indeed on 3/25/13.

  34. Elegant! Nice pictures and our president looks very smart indeed. Perception is an intricate concept that is mainly subjective. What I see is different from what others see! We construct our own realities that are underpinned by several factors for instance educational background, culture, ethnicity, rumour and many others. Sometimes what we see can deceive us. Conversely, one could argue the rationale behind all these pictures. Hope I am objective.

  35. picture number two is not so clear. the shadow of the paper he is holding in his right hand has come into focus leaving the real object in this case the suit line behind it. question is,how can a shadow appear infront of a real object?

  36. Kaili they should have displayed ka PFost newspaper for today so that we know the correct date the pictures were taken on..

  37. Ladies and GENTLEMEN! STOP THIS NONSENSE, Sata is alive and very much well. please note in picture number 5, the flower behind Chikwanda, those of you who were at State House a few days ago would attest to this… there was NO FLOWER THERE!

  38. honest speaking the man is sick just look the way he was standing,am told that the meeting last only 20minutes,chikwanda was the chair

  39. Electronic media is such a powerful thing and who ever is running the country owes it to media and PR. You can easily manipulate pictures using photoshop. We don’t have a date stump on when those photos were taken. Why do you have to release pictures to prove that the president is well. It’s his duty to reassure the nation that he is fit to run this country. If he’s well and kicking as some people put it, then why not just walk in ZNBC and say hello to the nation? Emulate the pope and do the right thing unless you think you own GRZ.

  40. What’s with Zambian men and over sized suits imwe kanshi? I mean, how hard is it to just buy a suit that is a size smaller than your actual size if you notice that you’re starting to lose weight? Nangu ni denial shuwa.

    Even our prezzy’s suits are now looking big because he’s dropping kilos every week. Please, buy a size smaller…then it won’t look like the ch suite is a “hand me down”.

  41. Even me if I am sick, I can’t fail to peep in the cameras for a show of about 20 minutes. We want the presido to come out of his slumber and start real action. Bushe uwamweba ati presidency kulashipulafye utolu mu state house nani? BUSHE SALARY WHICH HE INCREASED FOR HIMSELF KULAPONYAFYE ULULENDA MU STATE HOUSE? TULEFWAYA ULEPITANA MUMA HOSPITALS NO MEDICINES, UBUNGS TUBWELELE MU UNIP, IMISEBO ILYAINENFYE YAWEMYE BA MMD, NGABU MAN OF ACTION MULI KWII. ANYWAY THANKS BA WATCHDOG FOR KEEPING THIS SLEEPING cnp ON HIS TOES.

  42. The bricklayer, brother man are you for really, the president must resign on the grounds he can not pleasure kaseba what on earth are you on about??? And where is it that you leave? The USA or Zed? You’re talking about the Bembas and monkey eating people, why would you even say such a thing if you, The Bricklayer, is not tribalistic, the issue is about whether the President is well or not. Whatever tribe you are, have you applied for a job in the Government, if so, what was the position and what was the out come and also can we please have a look at your CV and maybe we can help support your statement, please brothers and sisters of Zambia lets stop all this nonsense….Oh it’s the Bemba or the Tongas or whatever, all this is a waste of time and energy, lets try and focus on the real

    • Really? You want his CV? And you are asking what his ‘monkey eating statement has to do with the article? You must be a big hypocrite!! Truth is Sata is a tribalist and on his way out!!

  43. Things that will not only help our families but also help our believed country(Zambia), don’t just insult each other, say what you don’t agree with and then make a suggestion on how best you think we as a nation or how the Government can improve.. I have never applied for any government positions and weather they give it to a Phiri a Kabwe or a Smith, I’m not bothered and its not because I don’t care about Zambia, rather the opposite, I care for Zambia! For me it’s not about the name and what tribe that person is from but rather how well they do the job and we need to help and support each other to do the right thing for Zambia and its citizens regardless from which part of the country you’re from….One Zambia One Nation ‘Tiyende Pamodzi’ PEACE is beautiful….. 🙂

  44. The pictures are doctored! The head is Sata’s but the body is one of the tuma chief’s who was dressed up in Sata’s suit. This was after the tuma chiefs bounced after travelling to see their “son”. Conveniently, all the tuma chiefs and cameraman are from the same region!

  45. THE BRICKLAYER YOUR LANGUAGE IS PATHETIC!YOU ARE A COMPLETE FOOL,STUPID,A QUALIFIED FOOL!!!IN FACT A CANTANKEROUS NICOMPOOP!!YOU CANT POST SUCH STUPID INSULTS!THIS IS WHY YOUR HUNGRY HEYNA WILL NEVER EVER BE PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU!***** ****** WE!WEBE IGIMA TOLE!!NAIMWE BA LT PLEASE REGULATE COMMENTS PEOPLE POST.THIS IS NOT FREEDOM OF SPEACG ITS STIDITY!!

  46. Eish, I dont know but ze Presido looks sick indeed. Pic 1, even Guy Scott known for his old age looks healthier and stronger. Pic 5 ze Presido is clinging to ze table to maintain his standing posture. Also in pic 1, please giv the guy correct size for his pair of trousers:) To the powers that be, if u love this chap, please retire him in ‘national’ interest. he has been retiring other people – now is his time.

  47. Who is interested in those photos? Zambians out there in rural Zambia have waited since September 2011 for the president to go and see what suffering they are going through, not his photo album and suits. By the way, if he is well enough why is he restricted to the indoors of state house only? Come on, let’s be honest, the people can no longer be fooled any further.

  48. But why Bemba Chiefs’ Parade with Bemba ministers only? Other than Scott of course. There are easy to convince I suppose especially after brown envelopes. I wonder in what language the minutes of the meeting were taken by Chella. Your guess is as good as mine! We will only believe as one blogger above has said, when our President is identified with a current situation, say seen holding a day’s news paper. Too bad to have to put the Head of State through this, but that’s the only way it will re assure the nation that he’s ship shape. Not those still picture! No.

  49. Those are old pictures,by the way guy scout he is in India,this kind of propaganda is that of north Korea we what to see the president on national tv not edited photos

  50. Come on, the people can no longer allow themselves to be duped in broad day light.
    You have to be very naive to be fooled by those photos.
    The people particularly those in rural Zambia have been waiting for the president since September 2011 to visit them and see how much suffering they are going through. They are not interested in his photo albums and designer suits.
    If he is well enough why is he restricted to the indoors of state house only?

  51. ba george chella balileka nokuseka nomba these days,are you getting worried mwaice? you and chikwanda are not at ease for real. the chiefs are doing a much better job than you two. even that nkunika fellow is doing a better job of being happy. maybe its because they dont have much to lose hey?

  52. To be sincere, Zambians could be justified for expressing hate against Mr Sata over his tribalism. I am Bemba, but the total disregard for other provinces like Western, NWP worries me so much. Over the pictures, we can not justify ones fitness by posting pictures. This act by state house is enough proof that Mr Sata is not too well. Lets advise him to step aside

  53. NOW THEN, LT, CAN YOU PLEASE HELP US OUT BY STATING THAT THE VICE-PRESIDENT IS BACK FROM INDIA AND IS IN ZAMBIA.

    IF NOT, HAVE YOU BEEN PRESSURED OR PAID TO PUBLISH THE PHOTOS WITHOUT DUE CARE, OR DELIBERATELY, TOGETHER WITH THE WORDS UNDER EACH PHOTO WITH TODAY’S DATE?

    HELP US OUT PLEASE SO THAT WE DON’T SUPPORT WHAT IS NOT TRUE.

  54. This is the strangest thing I have
    ever heard of. Why should they
    release photo-shopped pictures
    and the is not even shown on TV.
    Even from this photos you don’t
    need a high IQ to tell that Sata is sick.
    His protruding stomach is very visible.
    What is that protruding ?

  55. brainwashing Zambians as usual and its amazing how foolish and easily cheated Zambians can be. You mean the visit of chiefs could have not been picked by the media???? Chiefs are now like ghosts who fly at night and land at state house? come on people. am I the only one thinking?

  56. I have recently seen some pictures of president Sata meeting several chiefs from some provinces, including Tonga chiefs, why should it be an issue to some people when Imfumu Shababemba go to State House?

  57. Interesting what Zambian society preoccupies itself with huh? It is either we are busy talking about signs (Jesus is coming – look at the world and the pope has changed while still alive, etc.) OR we are busy examining people’s looks for signs of dying! Eish! How macabre can that be??? Death – death – death? When will you do something for the living kanshi?

    • You are so hitting on that nail! I find it boring to blog nowadays cos of the same deals you’ve just pointed out, always talking or reporting negatively.

    • You 2 are really miserable, Jeez.

      Anyway most Zambians are interested in knowing when the president is dying because that marks the end of the dictatorship he has been trying to establish.

      And, yes he looks ill on those pictures.

  58. I am still curious. Why has the PF Govt resorted to publishing stage-managed photos of the Republican President? A vibrant President would have emerged out of his cacoon to address a Press Conference and respond to questions of national importance. We smell a big rotten rat.

  59. As much as I am happy to see him alive and well, I would have liked him to have met leaders from different regions of the country. Muchinga is not Zambia and Zambia is not Muchinga. An interview with an independent media organisation like the BBC would have put to bed all the rumors that have been doing the rounds. These clandestine and staged managed appearances will only serve to fan into flame the rumor mills. As TB Joshua prophesied and I quote “..forgetting the people that put you in the position in the first place”. People need something more than these cameo appearances.

  60. Pf kaponya awe sure these guys are as dull as they come sata whether ill or not ill is suppose to speak to reporters how can you say man of action what has he done for the poor in he ghettos be objective don’t. Die dull like your fathers don’t insult or forsake sata but be objective life has become more difficult for everyone cops army nurses accountants etc everyone is complaining how can you praise him if you thinking logically you must be mad or on very strong pain killers, because he has to be told corrected when he’s gone wrong even if he dies that won’t fix the problem because the problems the country is facing are now so he has to deal with them now why wait for the guy to die when he can be told what to do its clear he has no idea of how to run a country, he needs help or…

  61. U gud 4 nothing, has Sata not met chiefs from oder regions alone? U devil incarnetes. U want him 2 stop meeting pipo becoz of u *****s.lt gives me more imputus 2 decampaign yo hungry hyna (hh)2016 wil b de last nail in his political coffinee.

  62. Hugging him kaponya style and puncturing the urine bag in the process with a needle can give the citizenry an answer at last as to what is causing the ‘pot belly’.

  63. LUSAKA TIMES,
    WE ARE RELYING ON YOU TO TELL US IF THE PHOTOGRAPHS YOU POSTED ARE TRULY FROM 25TH MARCH 2013, OR FROM ANOTHER EVENT.

    IS THE DR GUY SCOTT IN INDIA OR IS HE IN ZAMBIA?

    • he should be back as the thing was just a two day event from 17-19th unless he had some other engangements which i may not be aware of.besides i think if the govt was lying about the pictures they couldn’t overlook the fact that scott was out….just my thinking though

  64. If the president is sick i think its not as severe as we have been made to believe.However,his continued silence and lack of public appearance is not welcome and is the main reason for all this fake reporting by the some sections of the private media.Also to my surprise i can see some bald headed people in the pictures contrary to what i have been made to believe by some online publications.its now becoming hard to believe any zed news am reading.

  65. Do not fool the nation> Since when did you start showing pictures of SATA instead of letting him talk to the people. That already exposes your cheap propaganda. SOMETHING IS WRONG SOMEWHERE. IM SURE ITS WRONG SOMEWHERE.

    • Do not worry these people do not know what they are talking about. In fact these photos are old ones not for today.

  66. Cheapest propaganda I have seen in this country. Its true a picture says a thousand words…these say it all. The man is dead sick. This propaganda was not even well thought out…goes to show the desperation in this camp.

  67. Zambians do not be excited by those photos that is a public relations thing challenge him to appear in public ? Simples !

  68. This yo president is ill and possibly dying whether yu like it or not. That is why Armsterdam calls Zambians as useful *****s because yu a too simple. Sata has a catheter around his body. Cancer has caught up with him, and the best you should do is to evacuate him abroad for speacialist treatment so that his life is prolonged. If he was fit the likes of sata would b everywhere pushing his way in this or that. There is no doubt Sata is very ill and only God can deliver and heal him if He wills. Did you vote for him to hide in state house or to work? If to work then why is he therefore not working?

  69. He might be sick for real photos can be taken any day and released any day.
    What kind of a president does not want to have a press briefing where people can question him?

  70. Pictures by Thomas Nsama . . . . . I thought they were taken by Lusaka Times!!!!!!

  71. This gimmick seems to have backfired in the faces of there purported PR folks. The battle lines will be drawn in June, when GIVEN LUBINDA returns back to the fore.

    May the Good Lord protect him, as he is the only person that will unite the opposition and the ruling party. That’s exactly what this country needs

    • You are right. Picture 1. distance on the floor were sata stand and the second one in the same after making a step. Picture 2. guy scott mores forward in the same posture as picture 1. pictures 3. the president shoulder hits the door and scott makes from behind.
      look at picture 3. Can the president walk like than with scotts legs so tight on him. this is poor picture mixing.
      like the pictures of Mr Osama bin Laden. engineered by USA FBI

  72. Long live our beloved President. Shame and curses be upon all who wish and speak ill of him. May he out live all who wish him ill. May all who wish him ill leave orphans in poverty!!

  73. The pictures are fake. i watched and listened to ZNBC News yesterday so that i could see or hear any news item on the president meeting the chiefs in private but there was nothing. Those pictures are old pictures and whoever is believing in them should go back to school. The president can do well by coming out in person and address the nation and not releasing pictures. We never voted for pictures but for Mr Sata as a person. We want him to visit markets just like what Chiluba did when there was a rumour from S.Africa that he had died. He came out and visited Kabwata, and not just that, he also talked about the rumour and how people loved and cared about him.

  74. ba fee colour ba upnd why do you like wishing our president ill things.mwanya your ka small god ka hungry hyena will be the first one to die.he is not immuned to death.he is a human being anything can happen to him regardless of his riches.long live my president sata.we love you not these mansons.

  75. Just an update gents. I have seen the vice president his hon our Guy Scott on the pictures displayed is he back from India ?

  76. why still pictures? ni chavez? just make a public appearance chapwa.. y allow unproductive speculationlinger on?

  77. ‘Lies, these are last year photos when he meet these chiefs, so petty defence. Can the all state house respond to all these speculations by mare photos. We cannot be fooled. OLD OLD PHOTOS.

  78. If the man is well, why release still photos? Try releasing the man himself to public view, then perhaps people will not stop taking this for a pitiful attempt at spin.

  79. I can see that the educated ones can afford to peddle lies. You have time to lie and be hateful all the time. Lekeni Sata ateke.
    Hatefull people go to kanayam and campaign because the people in Garden and Kanyama have no acces to this online paper. You are wasting time with your lies here. Infact mu komboni you can be beaten if you said what you arte saying here.

  80. @Mambala you have rightly put it that when he was in the oppositiohe is no longer in opposition- so he is supposed to do as that…

  81. Some chiefs purportedly to have been in the meeting were not there.
    We had a meeting with then here in the Northern with a Visit by Traditional Affairs Ambassador Mr Woo. So its frustrating for someone to cheat that chiefs had a meeting at state house. The same day mentioned I was with Senior Chief Mw….mba and Chief Munko…e in the picture. now I wonder what magic is this.
    If some one is sick then he is. We just wish him quick recovery

  82. you can know the date the picture was taken by saving it and then clicking its properties. it will show you the day the picture was taken..
