    • It was in 1997 that Mahtani used Finsbury Investments account in Panama (Panama Leaks) to share the loot from Carlington Maize theft 50 dollar a tonne was stolen by this Indian thug. President Chiluba instructed Intelligence Service to investigate and liaise with Canadian and British governments to find the money stolen and laundered by Mahtani. He was tipped and got the money transferred and made the company inactive in October 1997. He never ever went back to the safe haven, having achieved his laundering act. His sister, pseudo Mary Schultz is the one that has been involved in all stealing through her Zambia-Canadian passports before she surrendered her Zambian Passport on the advice of DEC Mole.

    • RB has achieved his objectives through his sidekick mass murderer in State House. They have managed to close the Post using ZRA. It is amazing how RB killed Malozi over the BA64 and Chakolwa is killing UPND supporters just so that he stays in State House. What a bunch of slimy and sly double talking murderers.

    • It is unbelievable that RB has an office called 4th Republican president. Was he ever a president, I don’t even want to remember.

    • It is good the this man was voted out. What value have you added to the well being of this country since losing elections.? All you do is politicking.

  1. Bwezani you are a disgrace, a man without principals and only out to look for what benefits him. Not sure how you look at yourself, you have not spoken a word about all the violence that has been going on, so what is up with your ‘discontinuing’ the law suits???, only time will tell. Black African leaders for the exception of a few, leave much to be desired, shame on you!

    • @mypoint. You are most likely a bas.tard (Mwana wamuchigololo) The violence is created by the lawless UNPD Fool by insulting police as morons and embeciles. If it was not the police any other citizen would have kicked the ass of that fool. H as KK said anything about the violence and even the immoral catholic bishops are quite. Why pick on RB. Ni mwana wa nyoko

    • Unless you have been busy WA’NKING.

      RB has spoken about the need to stop violence. He has given so many statements before.

      Go and Google search or even on Lusaka Times Seach Engine about RB preaching about non violence

  2. He knows that PF kuyabebele, and it is one way of asking for forgiveness and buying a place in the new government

  3. Some of the hot libido boosters he uses on Thandiwe and Dora are Mwana Apeluke, Pwanya Chinena, Pwanya Nini, Kafupa and Congo Dust

  4. The timing of this statement is telling. After getting Lungu to restore his immunity and closing the Post, RB finds no political capital to persue this case further. RB finds no point in milking a dead cow. RB is the master mind behind ECL’s Election Rigging Strategy and as of now is sufficiently confident that his man will come thru and their alliance based on”wako niwako” and “Kumodzi kumaawa” will continue to thrive into the future. RB does not mention the ongoing violence becoz its part of their election rigging plan. RB and ECL have shared values and interests in this election result.

    • KEEP comforting yourself with self preserving lies. RB is a seasoned president, diplomat and statesman. Unlike you and the likes of Winter and Mmembe who driven and filled with hate and toxic agenda on citizens, RB demonstrates love, passion and realizing that Fred is finished. No need to fight a dead and marooned fella. Fred has been exorcised by the divine power around ECL for people in Zambia to have a break of rogue reporting and yellow journalism. It is simply pay back time for Fred and his corhots

    • Iwe ka Bwana, can you tell us exactly how you think these elections will be rigged, with all the transparency that will characterize them? These rigging accusations have never been true even in past elections. So stop the rigging nonsense and prepare for humiliating defeat.

    • The Game and Disgusted,
      I would kiss you. These UPND faggots can’t think. Can’t they reason why their candidate is on his way to another defeat? Life is not just about owning cattle.

  5. He has managed to have the post shut we are not stupid Lungu also said the he was going to deal with the post. Only people who are not normal are supporting Lungu and PF.

  6. RB was persuing a climinal case and not cash …considering that the man mmembe has to pay Zambians over K53 m .R B doesnt want Mumembe to dodge the debt by going to Prison…… Good Move RB…….mmembe is dead meat

  7. He maybe many things but he is no fool RB. The haste with which he made sure his cases were dealt with before the parliament was dissolved and now this decision, tell you a lot. He is uncertain that his friend will retain power.

    The last thing RB needs (in the event that PF loses), is a wounded Mmembe having been given back his paper, coming after anyone and anything he suspects to have been involved in his misfortunes. RB is wise.

  8. Mmembe is more scared of RB and Lungu combined.

    Therfore he is better off striking deals with these two and not HH. He needs his company. That is his baby.

    So no surprise that he has been sending proxies to Plot 1 and New Kasama to find an escape route.

  9. Ooh our country! People can no longer be independent minded! Everything one does has to be interpreted in terms of PF or UPND!? RB has weighed his options and has explained his reasons for his decision but some want things to be otherwise! He seen the merits in discontinuing with the cases why wish it otherwise? We talking about forgiveness, reconciliation and looking at bigger picture in our nation. So anything towards that should be welcome. Those wishing otherwise can take up the cases on his behalf since a criminal offence is of national interest

  10. The end of mmembe has finally come. He thought he was a demi god. But alas then came ECL and the post empire crambled.

  11. The only time I lost faith in RB was when he was asked why he cried after loosing elections, and the man says I felt sorry for all my colleagues in cabinet who were going to loose their jobs(recording is available), surely there are millions without jobs in Zambia and you are crying for your colleagues

  12. Why not. You have temperalilly laundered your self under Lungu. But remember that the past catches up with you. Seat tight bwana. Time will catch up with you later.

    • It Mmembe who the past has caught not RB. Please be sensible to know this
      There is always pay back time for transgression on innocent people.
      God acts when you least expect it.

  13. RB u r the man. U ve shown that u r the bigger man! Tu MMembe, ka Wynter & the friend ka Nchito r smo boys in a big pond. They will soon learn to swim in the shallows!

  14. Keep your forgiveness to yourself.We are coming into power in the next 3weeks and we will do the following:
    1.Strip you of your fake immunity
    2.Re-open dockets to the Nigerian Oil Deal
    3.Re-Open Barotse murders case
    4.Revoke all government vehicles and resources u ve been using under Lungu
    5.Close your Office of the Fourth Republican President(what crap is this?)
    and 6.Put you back in jail where you ll rot and die.

    • Re-open docket on oil deal? So HH was wrong when he was supporting RB in court? And the Watchdog were wrong when they said that it was Membe who instigated the Mongu riots in Jan 2011 whereby they claimed he committed in,cest with his mother as part of a ritual to destabilise the country? I remember that UPND were against the lifting of RB’s immunity and were on opposite sides to the likes of GBV, Sampa and Guy Scotch Whiskey?

  15. Thanks RB for preserving poor Mmembe’s mind. Damn it, hasn’t had enough already? To error is human but to forgive is divine. God bless RB. Long live RB.

  16. I didn’t even know that Zambia has such an office? This is how poor nation waste their resources. Office of the forth Republican president. Image if USA had such offices how many are you going to have? Who funds these office?

  17. Check your last paragraph please!!!…………”and ensure that my defence and constitutional rights to a fair trial were undermined and prejudiced”!!! How does one take legal action to undermine and prejudice oneself??

  18. He knew his case was going nowhere, kana mutundila mu brain. RB should not bask in temporary glory of freedom, his day will soon come, the pandora box will open once again.

  19. Comment:RB is scared upnd has the supprt of membe and he is slowly joining upnd in order to save his skin, just join upnd so u have a free mind I am very able to read RBs mind sela tubombe
