The ruling Patriotic Front (PF) has challenged political parties claiming that President Edgar Lungu is entertaining ‘Sangomas’ at State House to provide evidence of him allowing them into State House.

PF Media Committee Vice Chairperson Sunday Chanda says President Lungu has categorically stated that Zambia is a Christian nation and there is no way he is going to be entertaining Sangomas.

Mr. Chanda said the Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) is attacking President Lungu unnecessarily and accusing him of hosting Sangomas at State House saying such reports are fallacious.
He said the opposition FDD should provide evidence in stead of rushing to the media claiming that the Head of State has been meeting Sangomas.He alleged that the opposition FDD survives on donor funding and that the more FDD President Edith Nawakwi and FDD Spokesperson Antonio Mwanza makes noise the more they receive funding.

Mr. Chanda said it is very clear that the opposition FDD is one of what he has termed as ‘Kantemba political parties’ in Zambia that should not be taken seriously.

    • Sunday, slow down, it is only Monday.Ba Lungu please give Sunday a job, if he is qualified. He has done enough bootlicking

    • Ba Edith Nawakwi is the worst woman witch in Zambia. She is the worst opposition leader in Zambia. She yaps anyhow.

  1. Sunday, slow down, it is only Monday.Ba Lungu please give Sunday a job, if he is qualified. He has done enough bootlicking

  2. Nothing is hidden under the sun. You can deny and deny but we know. U did the same with sata’s health and death. Lying, lying and lying until even SATAN was surprised by your gifted ability to lie.

  3. Although Zambians claim Sunday Chanda will comment on everything, lets give the president a ‘breathing space’. Accusations and witch-hunting will not help. Its common knowledge that african opposition leaders tarnish the president of the day maliciously. Political competition in africa is interpreted as enemity. The likes of Nawakwi will stop at nothing for political mileage. What a primitive way of seeking relevance for a leader of her calibre? Style up madam!

  4. Generally this is one subject a sane person would ignore. But when the system lands like this you wonder what the fish is.

  5. @ Jamakudi: PF cadres even outwitted late Sata in telling lies. He, himself, was even shocked at the pace PF was giving out lies. When the man was dying in a London hospital, his cadres were very busy reporting in Zambia that Sata was sending goodwill messages to his followers based in Northmead.

  6. Fellow Zambians let’s desist from copying everything, term “sangoma ” is foreign to our local languages.

    • Does it matter if the word “sangoma” is used instead of “indoshi”? It is all witchcraft or sorcery. There is so much talk on witchcraft in a supposedly christian nation and hence my contention in an earlier thread that our christian faith is a facade or superficial.

    • Ba Senior Engineer Indoshi is a witch. Ing’anga is a healer. A Sangoma is a healer not a witch. Does that make sense to you now?

  7. Wait a minute Zambia! So what if the President is consulting a sangoma or faith healer or whatever? Zambia can be declared a christian nation, but that is just that, a declaration. That should not stop one from seeking or following what they believe in. If Lungu believes that State house needs cleansing, well let him use whatever method he deems fit. Replacing a sangoma with a bible totting man of god will not change anything in my view. That man of god might be a evil as anyone of you readers, this has been seen before. This is no issue as far as I am concerned, Lungu can consult anyone he wants and is confident in.
