  1. Praise God! What is it with people spreading blatantly false news?

  2. Praise the Lord! No need for lies. No rumour mongerer will benefit from her demise

  3. Abena gudumilile, beve bayenda ku RSA, not the slaughter-houses in a howling state of dilapidation which they ‘ve benevolently left us…cry the beloved country!

  4. UPND.. we know that you are so bitter that RB supported PF.

    However, this is now going too far. This rumour was started some id1ot in the UPND camp.

    Please & Please move on. We in South Africa at the Zambian Embassy. We know that RB is here with the Wife.

  5. if she is still alive thank God but she should tell her husband not to support people that destroy the economy like Edgar Chibuku Lungu.

  6. Fellow bloggers, What has happened with the Zambian Watchdog site?

    It seems to have been suspended by the Edgar Lungu’s agents.

  7. Who cares you piece of ma2vi! Just go back there and carry your fellow mashishaz with you.

  8. I always wonder what’s the motive behind declaring someone as dead when he/she is still kicking.

    Reminds me of one time I was visiting home. I enjoyed walking around Lusaka as much as I could. Apparently an old classmate had seen me walking and spread the rumor that Nyau “is finished”. Only later did I realize that if you are not driving in Lusaka you are considered impoverished. Or “finished”.

  9. FIRST OF ALL UPND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS RUMOR. GLAD TO HEAR THAT THE FORMER FIRST LADY IS DOING WELL. NO ONE IN THIER RIGHT MIND WOULD WISH SUCH ILL ON ANYONE. WE ARE POLITICAL ADVERSARIES FIGHTING FOR THE SAME END. NOT MORTAL ENERMIES. THIS IS DEMOCRACY NOT WAR. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO GIVE MRS BANDA GOOD HEALTH.
