      Zambia’s Ambassador to Ethiopia Susan Sikaneta and Ethiopian Chief of Protocol Mehreteab Mulugeta saw…

  4. Any word that the President has arrived at KK international airport? Is there a delegation and cadres waiting at the airport to welcome him?

  5. The plane should have touched down by now.so PF cadres tell us has the President landed or not?I asked for bets that he isn’t coming to Zambia today.

  6. This report is dodgy, it does not say where the president is heading to after leaving Ethiopia. He could be heading to anywhere and he is capable of that.
    One delegation member has proceeded to China and the other to Malaysia to attend some ‘important meetings’. Well, well, well anything is possible in Zambia, they could be opening hefty private Euro bond accounts. African leaders are very good at that.

    • zoona! mwe,, very dodgy sounding indeed! if he left ethopia at 12:35 he should be in nkwazi house by now,, that is if he was coming home right away and not following mama kaseba to far away waters

  7. we supot the removal of immunity of RB.
    we suport the removal of subsidy…on nsima and transport.
    we suport the removal of tujilijili.
    we suport the removal of mmd.
    awe kamba azafa hard ka?
    sorry to mr president chilufya sata for causing confusion in the country…and i condemn hungry hyena and never to be president mumbwe.

    • Seeing things the opposite way. What happened to your grey matter?

      Sorry, the next President will be Ngandu Magande or Dr Mutesa Caleb Fundanga… not just your u/5 mu chikwesa!!

  8. Reading all these bad and extremely negative comments about our president, i feel comforted that I am not alone in having these feelings….

    • Its only here in Zambia where a President who is appointed among other President to chair a UN reforms committee, a President who calls on the West to stop medling in the affairs of the continent of Africa, a President who refuses to have his people paying more for air travel and and Hotel accommodation so as to raise taxes for the AU…is caalled an *****.!!!

      Now do youir research and learn about how many President went on his side. Zambia what a dark country!! Guys you can have your Zumas.

    • Stick to your mother tongue boss, but when you do decide to attempt to communicate in english, please ensure the use of the right verbs like HATE WILL HATE (Assuming thats what you are trying to say).

  9. I am listening to ZNBC news and this is 19:37 and the the President is still not in….how long does it take for a plane from Ethiopia to Zambia? I thought it takes less than four hours….has the plane taken a detour or should we send a search party????? I am worried…..don’t want to shave my head you know, just grew my hair.

  10. Humility yalipwa yonse… muleichefyako..ama boko mu pocketi awe mwe… mwende bwino, noti ukuluba again

  11. So it is now Japan, how I wish I could also have a job like this where you just leave without telling your employers where you are going! Zambians are really being taken for a ride.

  12. shikulu come bck home with credible investor to come and take over KCM pliz,rio tinto,bhp bil,anglo,deer beers ,vale,superior mining,fQM,Barrick it’s high time ths Indians go and plant paprika & chilli from their poverty stricken country…

    • When are Zambians going to mature into people who can rule themselves?

      Why do you think Cameron and Obama are more intelligent than Sata? Colonial mentality….forever slaves of the West.

    • Sata is a great leader no matter what you guys will say on the contrary.

      Someone once said; when people stay long in poverty and slavery, these become freedom. So sad that Zambians dont even know what they want.
