According to a programme released by Eastern Province Permanent Secretary Bert Mushala, the Head of State will arrive at Chipata airport at 09:00 hours after which he will pay a courtesy call on
Paramount Chief Mpezeni of the Ngoni people of Eastern Province at his Ephendukeni palace.

Others are Elina Nyirenda of United National Indepndency Party (UNIP), Kazembe Daka of the National Restoration Party (NAREP) and Penelope Nkunika an independent candidate.

  1. Again the president is showing that even when he ceases being the president PF shall remain in power for a long long time, and considering how insightful and good judge I would urge people to see this man as someone who works very hard

    Tirelessly

    Thanks

    • wil rule for a long time?? kekekekeke… nice dream!!!. PF will find it hard to live long, the MMD corruption HIV virus has already been sexually transimited to PF… These infected hyenas like Mangani, you are welcoming with open legs will cost your lives…

      This mangani was in the MMD group that was trying to stop your sata from `standing`…this chaps is politically dirty same like masebo who mourned way more than the widow ,,,,to the extent of collapsing..aaah…

  2. Its sad that SATA can even go to campaign for Mangani, who few years ago the man was advocating for SATA to be locked up on colonial offences, yaba koma politics is really a dirt game. Chipata pipo will vote for Mtolo Phiri and silence mangani not the PF.

    • There are no permanent enemies in politics.Its only you the electorate who get worked up for nothing while the same politicians dine together.Just look at Silvia Masebo and how she used to insult Sata.Don`t be surprised to see even Dora Siliya sitting on the same dining table with Sata in the future.

    • @Saulosi

      I’m about to do something unprecedented for me – agree with Saulosi.

      I belong to no party, I’m non-partisan. I just want the best from whoever leads us. Notice I’ve never insulted Mr. Sata nor praised Mr. Hichilema.
      I do however go nuts when I see obvious wrongs by politicians being endorsed by people, out of blind partisanship. These are the people I call names.

  3. I thought i just read on ZWD that Sata will snick out of the country today for medical attention elsewhere, which is which?

    • sounds same like that story from the post newspaper which claimed that Tandi had stolen money from RB`s bedroom when in fact Tandi was still in the states

    • Ndobo so this is how we will play the game, because last time you stole from me, this time around it’s my turn??

    • @cindy
      no no no.. you and me live a different world where the media or at least most houses are reliable, news articles are well balanced and fair,,, unlike in zambia almost all media outlets are biased…they jucy report and praise what the like & love,,, and the poison report what the dont like or hate..

    • @Cindy, you are the liar. ZWD said Sata will sneak out of the country once he’s through with his by-election rounds!

    • Learn to comprehend what you read in the English language. ZWD says Sata will be in Chipata on Saturday July 20, and will return to Lusaka on Saturday afternoon at 16.00 hrs.

    • zwd says…Ailing dictator michael chilfya sata is scheduled to sneak out of the country for medication will first have to go to chipata for some publicity before disappearing to asia…kapususu learn to get sense from articles and not ma2c yawalemba apa.zwd for life.

  4. Wasting tax payers money, Sata campaigns as if he is in opposition!! U should listen to his campaign language carefully………… ine nsekafye!

  5. When is the next phase of district creation,the next swearing in,next election campaign and next foreign trip for Sata? Seems thats all he does.

  6. Maybe we should be having these elections every month. Wherever there is a by election Farmers get paid on time, some roads will be repaired, lodge and transport owners make some money. Its not too bad for the economy of the area involved not to mention a possible free booze for the local hangers on.

  7. The relentless destruction of democracy is an issue.

    Sorry, but I am averse to One-Party state and the blocking of opposition parties from having rallies since PF came to power makes me fear we have lost democracy.
    Celebrate while I mourn, am sorry, nothing personal.

  8. I just wonder what these elections have done to our budget. The only way the budget can hold under such unprecedented high levels of public expenditure is through printing of money and/or borrowing heavily.

  9. The only time this clown leaves state house is to campaign. Election season should have been over like 18 months ago! When are we going to get down to serving the people who voted you into office. When are you going to brief them on the state and direction of the republic?

  10. Sata to sneak out of the country again( EXTRACT ZWD).
    President Michael Sata is expected to go for yet another medication outside the country just after concluding his ‘fast-track’ campaigns in Solwezi, Kafulafutata and Mkushi.

    Sata was in Mkushi yesterday where he said Mkushi is underdeveloped because it is represented by wrong MPs. There, just like in Kafulafuta and Solwezi, he was just in the vicinity for less than two hours and spoke for just a few minutes on the stage.

    Sata is expected to sneak out of the country this weekend, according to security sources.

    ‘He will head to Turkey or some other Asian country for medication but if this will be publicised, they will make it look like an official visit. He is likely to leave thi9s weekend or anytime after the weekend,’ said

  11. Thoe “useful *****s”who dream for the death of MMD like UNIP are very dull.UNIP managed to last 27 yrs because they survived in One-Party System.When multipartism came, they could not survive.MMD is a multipatism Party,hence most likely to survive multipartism politics.This is the key reason for UNIP’s failure to tick in multi-party politics.
