Eastern Province Patriotic Front (PF) Chairperson Lameck Mangani has expressed disappointment with organisers of the just-ended constitution provincial prayer meeting for not extending invitations to his party and Government officials like they did with other political parties.
Mr Mangani wondered why some political parties from opposition were invited to a prayer meeting held at St Atanazio Catholic Church in Chipata on Saturday.
“I am wondering how come these people (organisers) failed to extend an invitation letter to me on including provincial minister (Mr Malozo Sichone) to attend the function. If they invited UPND, MMD and other political parties why did they hide,” he said.
Mr Mangani said he was saddened with the trend from Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) for wanting to pressurize Government over the constitution.
And Mr Sichone said it was also good for the church to pray for the Government.
But Zambia Episcopal Conference (ZEC) representative Fr Jacob Zulu said the Catholic Diocese of Chipata shall going to use all its structures to force Government to release the constitution.
Fr Zulu who is also Diocesan Communications Director said the people of Zambia have been waiting for the people driven constitutional for a longtime.
“We are going to use all our structures in the Catholic Diocese of Chipata to force Government to release the constitution. We want that document now,” he said.
UPND vice president Dr Canisius Banda used the platform of prayer meeting to achieve the party goal of campaigning towards his party.
MMD acting national secretary Chembe Nyangu said the patience of the people of Zambia has run out especially when one considers that the Patriotic Front (PF) was the only political party in opposition n to have agitated for a people driven republic constitution.
Mr Nyangu who was accompanied by presidential spokesperson Muhabi Lungu and Chipata Central Member of Parliament (MP) said the PF showed their commitment to the cause by undertaking to deliver a people driven constitution in 90 days after assuming office.
He said the MMD condemned the British High Commission for what he alleged that insinuating that Zambia already has a functional constitution.
Speaking at the same function, Provincial Civil Society for Poverty Reduction (CSPR) coordinator Maxson Nkhoma said CSOs in the province were demanding the release of the people driven constitution.
A number of political leaders, CSOs and the churches took advantage of the prayers to issue different solidarity messages to the people.
That’s the way to go wise men frm the east. Let us push for this document that will lay a foundation to solve “half” of our problems. The other half is fullfilled by electing a competent government.
dull mangini again, you do not need an ivititation to go for prayer meetings,,,, ,,, just go and tell your boss that people want that draft constitution under his pillow
I rename you to: Good constitution = Good governance ok sonny! Be a good boy now.
They didnt invite you because they didnt want you to attend…….. isnt that obvious??
Lameck please stop lamenting because you are boring us.
Mangani just shut up!
The devil should never be invited to any prayer meeting, and your are the devil in this matter. They exercised good wisdom to not invite you.
But LT………
were is the story about Dora sqeezing Mahapi Lungu hard? I likey not these nonsensical hypocritical statements! Dont you realise that he that speaks good over their enermy gets their answers thatn that which hosts a party just to make his enermies envious?
Wat a load of bull! How do you pray to God for a better future of politics in the country selfishly and expect change? Hypocrites!!!
An airline has put up an advert that it has not invested in advanced state of the art navigation systems but has instead employed grey haired ‘experienced; pilot.
Would you fly in that airline? Would that plane reach its destination without navigation systems?
A good constitution for a nation and good governance is what a navigation system is to a plane.
However experienced a pilot might be, he cant take that plane to its destination without a navigation system. In fact, today you can land an airplane without intervention of a pilot as long as it has a state of the art navigation system. And drones are controlled thousand of kms away to deliver their deadily payload in some mountains in Afghanistan.
@ Democratic Legal,
Ever came accross some grey haired fellow with 25years of experience on the job but due to negative effects in life is as good as never was!
Where is one joji chella and munembo fled mumemba who daily used to insult hh as bitter and jealousy when he raised issues of governance very early in pf administration. Now I see its the whole catholic and cso that is “bitter and jealousy”.
Ba PastPost PF write a scathing insulting Opinion and joji chella issue that missive abusing the catholic church for living in a parallel universe. Where are the pf vuvuzelas?
Who ever dreamed that the PF would become a laughing stock so early?

This man’s desire for a job is driving him insane. How can you invite the Devil to a prayer meeting specifically called to pray against his power. This is crazy kind of thinking from Mangani. try another trick, who knows you could be the new environmental minister, but sorry mwana, PF has already exhausted all the nominated positions in parliament.
That’s how desperate this reject has become…Yamunyokola njala Mangani!
Mr Mangani “was saddened with the trend from Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) for wanting to pressurize Government over the constitution”.There is the reason Mr Mangani.
You were not invited because you’re PF, the very same people holding the draft constitution hostage.
How can they invite PF to prayers of the constitution of which you careless and PF only wants the ANIMAL DRIVEN CONSTITUTION? It seems “yamunyokola njala” Lameck Mangani mdala.
When is he going to wake up from slumber? Namunyokola na $=K6.4 yamuchita chita njala. Well done for not inviting the crooked PF hypocrites CSO, Good one.
They’re praying that God will soften your heart and you want an invite.
So boring Mangani get a life.
Yamunyokola njala, yamuchita chita lelo. He is now suffering from hunger and thirst, with [email protected] just imagine, Mangani alimbe mankuntyaah, aliye ndalama, Ni opanda money.
Hunger talking, we know you Mangani in and out.
The President asked his officials to ignore those calling for the new constitution. Did Mangani not hear this? Why should he or PF be invited then?
He’s got a problem with his ears and they will be cleaned up in 2016. Not long from now, only 29 months left before PF is peacefully voted out.
Mr. Mangani is really suffering even going to the extent of just being a provincial chairman for PF. WE knew the man was going to suffer soonest because he betrayed us. His hatred for RB is now costing him. He will never be a minister in his life time again and nobody in my Eastern Province can listen to him. My dear you were badly used by PF.
The moral arc of the Universe always title towards justice, one day the people of Zambia will have their constitution pf is not a platform of the people driven constitution mr manganic please go and rest at your farm
What’s wrong with you also? Are you think ok? Mangani has NO farm! Can you tell us where it is if you know! The fella is broke and on the brink!
Mr. Mangani please, have you already forgotten that the pf rejected this constitution issue in Parliament. the prayers were meant to pray to God for the release of what your MPs rejected. Mr. Mangani, is there any logic to invite you? So that you do what? However since you are in a democratic PF, you can also just call for prayers to strengthen your action that you took in parliament.
Zambia will get a people’s constitution regardless of obstacles by PF. This is not a document for hh or muhabi or nawakwi. This is a people’s life guiding charter.
“It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.'”
Fellow Zambians let us not use the house of God to champion out evil desires.we have failed to honour the word of God how are we going to obey the law ?God forgive us.We are corrupt,selfish,immoral,no fear of God yet we are calling for a new constitution we have a price to pay unless we repent.All those who organized those meetings in the name of The Lord must examine their hearts
Faulty theology and archaic exegesis.
Like the dog that barks in my neighbourhood , very irritating!
Face book communication!
Why is everyone and HH on face book?
LT, the Post, ZWD and co. sensor my views but for the first time, I am now able to communicate with a President directly, without filtering my views.
HH could only attract 45,000 as compared to the President’s 96,000 interactions.
Jealousy?
How come on that page there are only 5 comments at the most, yet you have such a huge following? The reason is simple most of those are not really people….
Ba lovely ikalenifye! HH is far better. So what with the facebook statistics? Are you not aware that under the ailing dictator with his fb statistics the economy is ailing?
@lovely
ZWD has 142,350 likes and Sata has 95,460 likes.
Mangani, the reason for not inviting you is that you are the blocking factor in the equation. Change your position on the matter, there will be not need to pray over this matter constitution, but we shall be praying for other issues. PF we need our constitution especially that it is human driven, unlike what you want the animal driven one.
Mwe bantu, I thought it was the catholics that prayed for Sata, his government to come in the first place! No improved constitution as of now is a direct result of that and catholics are still party to organising other prayers? Is this what they call political catholicism?
As for Lameck, don’t complain. Organise another meeting and invite everybody and see where you end up … !
the catholics my brother are a conduit of evil. the church is a representation of the mark of the beast. that is why as a church they are heavily involved in politics world over. so if you follow them you will receive the mark of the beast
The same way the Catholics helped Sata/PF to come in, is the same way they will help Sata/PF to go out.In other ways they’re paying back for their mistake.Never again should they support a wrong thing.
Incidentally, there are a lot of Bible scriptures on this subject of beast with Rev.13 leading. Those interested should google and see for themselves. Matipa thanks for the dimension and it seems to me that our rulers want to impose this evil mark on their followers and promise them no good unless the people toe their line.
No wonder people like Lameck will use every opportunity to receive ‘triple 6’ and display it openly without shame …
Mangani, just thank them for saving your life in PF. If they invited you and you attended, you would be in a position today to issue any statement! Please Manfani learn to appreciate!!
Lameck Mangani. Does this man have any brain? What comes out of mouth is always very immature. No wonder Bwezani dumped him. Even Sata once said he didn’t need him. PF in Eastern Province should cage this resemblance of a man
True but the catholics have since repented and still want something better for the Zambians
We tried very hard to invite you sir, but GOD refused !
Ba Mwisho you are funny, lol!
Oh my poor mangani again this man is really getting mad by the day. Mr mang. ani sir. Tell chumbu munshololwa aka sata that we need our consititution now.
No apologies to SataNA and his cadres. They do not belong to the world of light. Let them pray to their own god.
Why should they invite you to pray for a new Constitution?
You PF clowns were the ones that BLOCKED IT IN PARLIAMENT!
Hypocrite!
Mangani and Malozo Sichone should realise that they were not invited to the grand coalition prayers to rescue the draft constitution because they are the ones who were been prayed for in order for god to soften their hearts and give the people of Zambia their cinstitution. So let mangani not worry the spirit of god will soon reach him and president sata to release the draft constitution.
Mangani and Malozo Sichone in your PF party please know that you are the causers of this countrywide prayers since all reasonable engagement to urge you to give us the constitution has failed we have resorted to go the lord the creator who never fails his people and trust me time is coming for u people
Come another bye-election, again I will vote for Mtolo, not you DULL Mangani. Get lost!
I think we should not put th blame on the church for helping PF win coz all they wanted was to remove the seemingly corrupt MMD. And PF was the party that stood a higher chance of dislodging MMD at that time. Now that it has turned to be a worst gov’nt in place, the church will not remain mute over it. Good stance by the church and CSOs, pliz help us do away with PF twachula pafula. This time its HH and UPND for 2016. Next time invite Mangani coz im seeing him leaving PF before 2016. We need more pressure even from PF insiders, coz they also know Sata is too hard bend.
mangani is broke is now looking for job. please proper tactics condeming the cso will not help u. u are the people who are holding on to the draft constitution. God will deliver us from your evil party. mangani will never win any election in chipata. shameless man.
wise
Lameck Mangani is married to an ex-Catholic Nun who can provide him with his “prayer” to consolidate his betrayal of the people of Eastern Province. He can go hang himself. Besides, all Zambian organisations have been infiltrated by OP operatives who can furnish Mangani’s President on the mood of the people under the current climate.
2016 mangani Mangani.
Is Mr Mangani defying the presidents directive that they should ignore constitutional debates? or is there another directive?.
PF has publicly said they don’t want to discuss the constitution so why invite them! We need to hold such across all districts. Enough is enough Zambians how can Guy Scott say only a fool would expect the constitution to be made in 90 days. So by being understanding and giving them 2 years we are now fools! wake up Zambia abash to political manipulation!
MANGANI LAMAECK COME TO TERMS THAT PF HAS LOST THE FAVOUR OF GOD’S PEOPLE.
Mr. Mangani Lameck dont amuse us. At your age . You must know that PF and its leadership has lost the favour of God’s people because of being deceitful the way you are running the country’s social and economic affairs. Its just recently that your PF MPs rejected the motion to let the people of Zambia to have alegal fram work of the constitution road map. Now what relevance do you think are the people seeing in you. What you should know and understand is that the people of Zambia are bigger and more important than PF. You should know that the writing is on the wall that PF is making itself a one term Government because of its actions. People avery much disappointed with your uncaring behaviour on national…
Mangani ni mwamuna kugwa 2 times but akali ku shansha mu politics.if Sata talk about eastern he think of mangani come 2016 PF na mangani
