I left Zambia in order to stay alive-Pilato

Share

FILE: Pilato being whisked away after court adjourned

Controversial musician Pilato has spoken out for the first time since fleeing Zambia amidst threats on his life.

Writing from a secret location, Pilato said he was forced to leave Zambia and stay in the bush for 25 days after PF cadres threatened his life.

He explained that he has been warned that he will be snatched even from the courts of law or that even i he I dared to go hide in the American Embassy, he would still be snatched and dealt with.

Pilato said Zambia has a President who became rich just by being alive and that in his attempt to share this story, he was threatened with death.

“Today i am writing from a foreign country not because i chose to but because i chose life. The 14th of January 2018 was my daughter’s birthday, on this day i usually take her and the sister out for a Pizza but this time i couldn’t. I called and spoke to her and she asked when i was going back home, i cut the call because i didn’t know when. I have stopped calling home now because i dont know what to say to them,” he wrote.

Yesterday, Anne’s International issued an alert over Pilato who has gone into exile in an undisclosed country fearing for his life.

Below is the full statement issued by Pilato

AWAY FROM ZAMBIA

It doesn’t matter where you claim to be going, you will only go where you are heading. If one is on the bus to Chawama, even if they claim to be going to Woodlands, they will only go as far as the bus can go. So it doesn’t matter what we claim to be, we are what we act. The greatest act of belief is not in the claiming but in the acting.

Do we live what we believe?

Zambia is a beautiful country with very beautiful and peaceful people. It is sad that those that we’ve given our power to manage and rule our land are taking advantage of this fact. Today i am writing from a foreign country not because i chose to but because i chose life.

It is important to die for a cause but it is even more important to live for it. My country Zambia is blessed with resources, copper, water, youths and so many other great things. If these resources are not benefiting the people of Zambia now, what will they benefit from in the future when we will not have anymore copper? If our resources dont improve the living standards of our people now what will?

I am an artist who lives among the poor people, these poor people speak to me daily. It is in their eyes i look everyday and i always pray that they dont lose hope. I pray that they keep believing for a better future. I pray that they still look at the national flag and be proud that they belong to a country that is not anything lesser than other countries. I pray that every Zambian will walk tall among his or her other human beings from other countries.

I pray for dignity for my people. But what is dignity without a proper health-care? When our people cant find drugs in hospitals? What is their dignity when students are brutally beaten by the state police for asking for meal allowances from their own government? When majority of our young people can’t find jobs and when they do its under very inhumane conditions, what is their dignity?

When our people cry for proper health care, our leaders use that to enrich themselves. They use our cries to steal. They buy ambulances at prices that not even rich country can consider buying. When our youths cry for jobs, they sign a $1.2 billion road construction contracts and say our people will have jobs. A road that costs less in other places. We have a president who became rich just by being alive. In my attempt to share this story, I was threatened with death. I was forced to leave home and stayed in the bush for 25 days for marely sharing this truth.

The 14th of January 2018 was my daughter’s birthday, on this day i usually take her and the sister out for a Pizza but this time i couldn’t. I called and spoke to her and she asked when i was going back home, i cut the call because i didn’t know when. I have stopped calling home now because i dont know what to say to them.

In my lonely moments I ask myself, is it worthy fighting for the good of my people even when it means endagering my own life? Why can’t i be like many other artists that just sing and make money? A bigger part of me reminds me that i am a part of every human being that has shared their pain and sorrows with me. I want to be alive and safe but i only deserve the life that i can fight and speak for. I want my children to go to school, but they only deserve the education that every child in my country can get. I want proper health-care for Christina and Abishai but only that which every child in Zambia can get. This is why my life is threatened. This is why i am where i am today.

I have been warned that i will be snatched even from the courts of law. I have been warned that even if I dared to go hide in the American Embassy i would still be snatched and dealt with. I dont want to die for this fight, I want to live for it.

The police officers have lost power to political blood thirsty Satanists who are beating and killing people with impunity. These demons attacked people at the graveyard and no one has accounted for that. I refuse to die or be beaten by such evil imitations of humanity. I will live to see the greatness of my people….and of my country

To my family and friends, I am well and safe, please whenever you can check on my family.

Thank you.

  1. We are saying this corrupt theif lungu who tries to portray an image of humbleness with a bible in his back pocket has destroyed Zambia…….lungu and kapoyongo direct the blood thirsty pf thugs to carry out wanton brutality and looting…..

    Thank you great pilato…..you are a man among artists and an artist among men….we love you.

    • Pilato truth has a way of surviving every onslaught of spin doctoring like Emmanuel is trying to do. Keep on speaking for the vast majority whilst the minority few who are enjoying can continue defending the indefensible.

    • Ba Pilato just return to Lilanda. You are as important as a fly on a pile of shi.t so now we have three piles for you

    • Take off your political cobwebs, read a few lines in Pilato`s message and try to reflect, I am sure you will find some meaning lines.

      “It is important to die for a cause but it is even more important to live for it.” Pilato,2018.

      “But what is dignity without a proper health-care? When our people cant find drugs in hospitals? What is their dignity when students are brutally beaten by the state police……..”

    • He made his bed, now he’s afraid to lie in it. So Amnesty should now come to the rescue of every man in Zambia that wont accept the unpleasant results of something they have done?

      “And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature.” James 3, 6

    • Bravo Pilato my bro. Its better to live for what you love because if you die you will simply be burried forgotten . Thats why tryrants use death to finish their opponents.

      Lungu and his supporters are thieving cowards whose days in office are numbered. Zambia is not like Zimbabwe where people just watch. By June CB and Lusaka will be rioting to get rid of Lungu.

    • President Pilato Mnangagwa, you will soon be back in Zambia when the criminals are dealt with not by our docile ARMY but by the people of. Ka Nubia fuseki, you friend is fighting for a cause and you are likening him to a fly. Ama Zambians nabo!

    • Most of you commenting from the diaspora, did the same thing pilato has done, iwe ka @Nubian, you even used the word escaped, what were you escaping from,,,,, if you didn’t want to stay alive pilato

    • PILATO- WHATEVER YOUR STUUPID NAME MEANS, JUST GO BACK TO ZAMBIA. ZAMBIA IS A FREE COUNTRY WHERE YOU HAVE EVEN BAKOLWE INSULTING THEIR PARENTS AND ALL. WHO CAN KILL YOU IN ZAMBIA NA MUSIC TAPABE YO LISHA. SO, WABUTUKA WEKA UKWABULA BAKASHI NABANA BOBE? ULICIPUBA SANA? HOW DO YOU LEAVE THE COUNTRY WITHOUT YOUR FAMILY. IF IT MEANS KILLING YOU I THINK YOUR ABSENCE WILL MAKE WHOEVER YOU PERCEIVE WANTS TO KILL YOU TURN ON YOUR LEFT-BEHIND FAMILY, DON’T YOU THINK SO. ULI KUWE SANA WHO WOULDN’T THINK OF THE SAFETY OF HIS FAMILY ONCE IN TROUBLE? EBU CHIMBWI BWINE UBO. JUST TELL US THAT MUSIC BUSINESS HAS BECOME DIFFICULT FOR YOU DUE TO LACK OF COMPOSING AND INSTRUMENT PLAYING SKILLS. NOT BOZA.

    • RUNNING FROM HIS OWN HAUNTED HEART – FREEING FROM HIS OWN TROUBLED SHADOW.
      There is actually no loss at all. The chap who sang the political song “Tomato balunda” track also fled from the FTJ regime. Actually Zambians don’t and never give a da(m)n. But I wonder if you will sustain your international gallivanting will holes in your pocket.

  2. Self – exalted pilato.You are not the first to sing songs.PK Chisala sung,st Michael, Twice and many more.If you decide to leave,thats your choice.Good on you .Another way to leave the country especially if visa is hard to get.Unfortunately your music can sell on global market. It can only be sold in Zambia.All the best

    • At least he the great pilato has a heart for the millions of Zambians suffering, unlike you sir who thinks the west is only the only way out……the great pilato was getting by fine in Zambia

    • Usually politically inspired songs are supposed to earn respect of majority citizens and build a nation. Pilato’s noise you call music is drug (weed) inspired. So is the message. That Yup n’ down cadre is lost misleading some fainthearted goons even on this blogsport.

  3. Made me shade a tear… thinking what is my contribution to my own country, more than typing on this keyboard? If this musician can choose to sacrifice for sake of the love of his country, what is it that I can do? Should I just watch from a distance while the corrupt few scoundrels are misappropriating national resources with impunity at the expense of the majority poor.

    Ladies and gents, if you ever needed any inspiration to stand up and do something for your country, the Pilato dude has just written a masterpiece. If this can’t inspire you and spur you to do something, then I don’t know what will.

    “…It is important to die for a cause but it is even more important to live for it…”; “We have a president who became rich just by being alive…”. Powerful stuff!

    • He only choose to die for hh and not for Zambia. Where is to speak for you now? You guys who were encouraging him see he is now suffering alone. No one forced him to insult, he asked for his condition. Do not blame others for your stupidity.

    • Asegai, who ever you are PF cadre , look do not support a system that does not support or care about you .

      So be wise , this guy is a visionary and wise , let the PF and all make sense out of the nosense that this guy brings out , as Levy did even when Sata was a total nosense to him , he made sense out of him and that made Levy a better leader and President . I say this as bembas would say ukwali insoke takwafwile umuntu , as he took advise and the warning

  4. Zambia is fast becoming Yoweri Museveni country ,southern Africa edition.Pilato stay safe i don’t blame ya.

  5. You are a coward sir. Brave people fight battles and don’t ran away. How can you ran away from cadres? Just come back. I guess you are also broke and hiding in threats on your life to draw the attention of the donors. CK has been ranting like a dog with rabbies and nothing has happened to him. What about you who just sang a song that can’t even sell. You are scared of your own shadow. All the best wherever you are.

    • @ Zambia first, you look like a human being but that doesn’t make you a human being at all,you are people who dance and praise people who oppress you, Pilato is fighting for your rights and you want him dead,you don’t know what you want, you were born a beggar live a beggar fall sick and will die a beggar yourself, leave Pilato alone.

    • @BA ZAMBIA FIRST: CK is already before courts on trumped up charges. What planet are you writing from, Sir.

    • @Mnagangwa ran to South Africa when threatened by Mugabe and his wife. Is he a coward? When you’ve a government that’s ready to do anything to it’s critics, including killing, you have to look out for your life. Remember you are more useful alive than dead.

  6. You have failed to sustain your day to day living and now you want people to sympathise with you so that they can give you free money. No need to run

    • @ Skipper: Sir/Madam, If thugs can go with Pangas to Lusaka Central Police in broad daylight and hack Mr. Chipoka the NDC Copperbelt Provincial Chairman in full view of the police, what does it say about the safety of citizens. Mr Chipoka had to be taken to hospital with severe wounds. Why should Pilato stand around when there is a threat on his life. Zambia is a country where only you, the PF are safe. Enemies of the ruling elite have no protection from the police and have to lookout for themselves. It is a government of thugs by thugs for thugs.

  7. Congrats Pilato , indeed Zambians and Zambia shall be well some day and indeed soon when we have the rightful leadership of Vision and new Civil Service , not the majority civil criminals that we have now, sad for the few good people we have .May the good lord bless you all.

  8. Please Be safe, these PF thieves hate to be exposed, They are ruthlessly brutal when confronted with the truth of their economic vandalism.
    Thank God for your talent, keep up the good works. Release more songs.

  9. Pilato……my man. May God keep you and your family safe.

    Zambians are so docile Pilato and all your struggles shall be in vain if you happen to lose your precious life. NO need dying for cowards my brother, let them continue to suffer as they are so content with it.

    This is why I opt to stay away from politics of appeasement and blind loyalty as illiterate cadres will kill you over unprincipled leadership, leadership without shame nor conscience.

    Time does come to pass, so does leadership. PF will be history and GOD has a way of dealing with plunderers………FTJ, Sata, Benny Mwiinga, General Tembo, Penza, Mushota, Chawiinga, BY, Paul Tembo, ….the list is endless.

    • Hahaha!!! The man wants to create drama for nothing, just because his music is trash that is not selling now he has found a way of surviving on the payroll of some useless organizations.

  10. This all falls on the doorstep of the president! Disagreements are healthy but threatening ones life is a serious charge and the Government needs to send a strong message that violence will not be entertained or taken lightly.

  11. This filthy f.a.rt is running away from his own shadow expecting international sympathy and a career overseas. He can’t get a decent career here as most people look down on him. Who really cares about his dumb music or what he talks about?? He expected superstar status where the police followed him around?? Sorry, Chama, hh used you and paid you cow dung….

    • Just a few months ago you were busy wrapping your filthy green pf chitenje on the “filthy fa rt”, what does that make you, a filthy wrapper or tissue.

    • It doesn’t make PF anything, bonehead. It’s Chama himself who chose to associate with the cow dung hh dangled. Pilato added no value to himself or PF or anything he does. He’s a low down, dirty shame of a human being looking for a career after he failed in Zambia. No one cares where he goes, life goes on in Zambia.

    • Have never seen pilato wrapped in upnd chitenje, but you wrapped him nicely in a pf chitenje at your secretariat, what does that make you?

    • That’s the problem with guys always used for personal battles for a few coins! He did Koswe Mumpoto and others do Niwiso Uleba and Satana Afulama! See now you are away from home…anyway the scale will tilt at some point and bene Jk will be the ones running away in 2064!

  12. Who is Pilato and what does he do? I have never heard of someone running away from Zambia for fear of their lives. Anyway he looks like a murderer and may justify his running away.

  13. I think Pilato is an attention seeker. I don’t thing government would be wasting its time looking for such a thuggish man. Which Country can he go to. I can onlt think of Malawi or Zimbabwe at this time. Or South Africa?.
    I did not know that Amnesty International would be wasting time discussing a thug when more important issues are pending

  14. starts a fight runs away…what a coward…be a MAN like HH or Kambwili…they say whatever they like and nothing happens to them..who are you a mere musician with bubble gum songs which dont sell

  15. Pilato is spot. PF Cadres are unruly and could kill him. The NDC officials were beaten and hacked at a Police Station and Broaddaylight. Lungu cannot rcontrol his PF thugs who believe in violence and lawlessness. After Lungu targeted Pilato for his song on Corruption his life is in danger from these unrepentant violent PF Cadres. The fact is Lungu has no solution to rampant Corruption in his govt becoz he is leading from the front.Anybody who fights corruption is an enemy of Lungu and PF becoz they are thriving in it. Lungu is the most corrupt President since Independence in 1964. Once a thief always a thief.

  16. Pilato just come back no weapons formed against u shall prosper.EDGAR is not a life president one day he will vacate state house.

  17. niwamant muguys kansi ayi . His calls would have been genuine if he did not represent a political party and sing at the weddings of party presidents who would later pay him. All acts such as these make him seem like a member of an opposition whose president is still free. This then invalidates his claims and makes him look like a party spokesperson whose party abondoned for going too far. I hope you do not sing another song in Congo where you are about the health care and roads, it should be worse. And unless he used a private line, the daughters phone will show the country code hence it is very easy to know where peter(pilato) is

  18. I know were Pilato is hiding. I will not say anything for now. I will wait for a few days for my good friend Pilato to enjoy a peaceful moment of his life, then BOOM, the hiding place will be exposed.

  19. oipa ataba woka.You are just a coward just come back or else you will find that your wife is married to a cadre you are fearing

  20. Very interesting and well drafted poem. How ever beautiful words and well thought out plans without action are useless. I feel the same for the poor in Zambia but I cant sacrifice my sinful life to save anyone because Jesus already did that. Have set up a small business and employed at least 50 Zambian who are hardworking and supporting their families. I also pay Taxes to the Government and what they do with the money is non of my business. This is my contribution to the country by paying PAYE and other taxes. I live in peace. The only time am in a foreign country will be on vacation and business.so if the country had 2000,000 real and serious entrepreneurs, then the poverty levels will the thing of the past. We seem to have a lot of jokers, arm chair critics self turning into heroes…

    • @Southerner. Thought you were a serious businessman until I came to “what they do with the money is none of my business”?!? Some business man you are. Napela!

  21. Kikikikiki..Ati calling from a foreign country..Pilato is still within Zambia being taken care of by a UPND top official. But for how long will he continue hiding from the purported PF brutality? Note that it may not even be the PF who want to sort him out, but even other well meaning Zambians who feel enough is enough of demeaning the best of the best, the charismatic and chosen leader, ECL.

  22. Pilato , pilato these pf koswes insulting you are part of the same corrupt gang terrorizing and looting zambia, pay them no mind.

    What you have done has put amnesty international on alert regarding PF brutality …….well done great pilato.

    We too will be doing our part, an email will be spamming the globe this week end highlighting PF brutality and corruption…we have dates and we have images of bloodied civilians and opposition members all in the email , it is powerful statement, I am pleased..of the impact the images have……..there are no fabrications.

    • AI, UN, IMF, CW ,world bank and the goverment of every country that has an email address will recive the email…..the spamming year has come early , I thought it will only be towards elections

    • Only under5s can believe that this dirty pig is not in Zambia. Which boarder did he use to flee zambia which is never monitored. Which country can you live in without validating your docs. He sang about koswe and ended up being a koswe himself by hiding in a koswe hole. Kiki.

    • Ati which boarder can he leave that is not monitored ?????

      Hehehehehe you made my day…the namibians are asking the same question about mukula log laden trucks from Zambia they are impounding….

    • Which M’membe?? The tax fraudster who had his ebil newspaper liquidated and declared insolvent??? Ni bantu bo sila baja iwe Spaka chikopo…

    • Laddies and gentlemen …..

      We can all do our part to highlight of cader brutality in our mother land from any country we are based in…..do we want a Zambia ruled by violent mob rule ???….we do our part from diaspora by finding the email of your local MP and pointing out that your tax contributions which form part of the foringe aid lungu recives are being used to brutalize citizens and fuel corruption by lungu………

      During elections we launched similar campain , the PF rats laughed at us, but I can tell you many potential investors looked twice at Zambia and lungu was put on notice by the international community….our efforts played a part in lungus apparent semi turn regarding some democratic rights….but we still have much to do…

    • Citizen

      Don’t under rate what Dr membe can do with on the internet……..if simple people like some of us can help change fake perceptions of free and fair democracy , you think the media expetise of Dr membe is nothing ? i am happy you feel that way…..

  23. Ba LT any one who say bad things on the President of Zambia you give good results with you rating who are you LT

  24. Singing is not about insulting people with impunity, it is about educating and alerting the masses. Not the song this fool sung and you call it nice, how? Even at home when a child makes a mistake you do not just shout at the child unless you have no manners like Pilato….you call a child and talk to him or her in a sombre voice afterwards advice the kid. Those of you who are supporting this thug are just ill mannered like the same 1diot. Come back and explain what you are explaining wherever you are, be strong because that’s what you think you are
    You cant insult the President with impunity and expect those of us who have faith in him just sit and say it is okay…where on earth? We know that the opposition has been sponsoring you KOLWE IWEE

  25. Almost everybody has heard the controversial song that you released, so why run away? Unless you are telling us that you are in the process of releasing another one? Come back home and do not release another song. If you are so much afraid of death, why do you dare the powers of this government? Take responsibility for your actions.

  26. For now Pilato is safe in a foreign land; Zambia under Lungu is not safe for a controversial person like Pilato; look at what happened Kambwili’s cadres at Levy Junction; and opposite the police main station; and you have this young man Mwamba in South Africa telling lies to Amnesty; Plato, stay safe my boy; Lungu wont last longer like KK; you can come back in 2021;

  27. Quite frankly, whenever I listened to Pilato exercise his “freedom of expression” in song, I wondered whether the man had children and if he did, whether he thought about their future before penning the controversial lyrics.

  28. This scrufy looking man is seeking economic refugee status as he has completely failed to manage himself. Just come back and eat kapenta here my friend because of your own making

    bn
    _________

    • Were the NDC suppoters hacked with pangas by pf at the police station for showing solidarity with CK of their own making ???

  29. Fellow Zambians regardless of our political, cultural, religious and tribal inclinations lets us for once come back together as one Zambia one nation. Let our leaders show tolerance, respect, love and acceptance in diversity and unite our people. Lets say no more to corruption, lets say no more to violence, lets inculcate the strong values that our founding fathers adopted of love and unity in fostering this country’s development and prosperity for all. Otherwise, the foundations of this country will be destroyed for posterity to build on. One love to all!

  30. Selfish Nincompoop and a coward how do you live your family and run away, if you are indeed as others say visionary and wise. in the mafia world he is living his family vulnerable. Coward he is, no respect for such.

  31. In the early days there was him, i,and the Jahman from the start were being killed by the them same people, Why? The point of life and living in a good way is only known to those people with riches coz the impact of poverty can not be felt for they do not even need know what poverty is. Bob Marley is dead killed by them, why? Culture gone killed by the same asking why? Peter Tosh killed by this one man same man. Praying For freedom and peace in our Country Zambia for the country was not given to one or two people but all, Someone was there before them, i, you will go like you plant said i coz JAH is watching us all, You man

  32. A lot of daft emotional numpties on here. If you have ever wondered why Zambia is the way it is,wonder no more.

  33. Ichi nichipuba cha mwana chi Pilato.Let him get shot by Boko Halam where ever he may be.He is in Zambia, otherwise if the government wanted him he could not have crossed the border as immigration could trapped and detain him.His story is utter crap.

  34. I AGREE WITH U 100%.
    THOSE ON A n t i r e t r o v i r a l t h e r a p y IN OTHER COUNTRIES LIKE SA STAY ALIVE LONGER.

  35. Emmanuel Mwamba aka- katondo boys do not cheat the world with hypocrisy and deception. You and your president lack morals of decency. Any Zambian who has expressed worry over their life is true. Examples are filed up already by the world. Your myopic rebutted will not wash away oppression going on in Zambia. You are a shame to Zambia.

  36. WHEN EXPOSING A CRIME IS TREATED AS COMMITTING A CRIME, THEN JUST KNOW THAT YOU ARE BEING RULED BY CRIMINALS. ONE THING THEY SHOULD REMEMBER IS THAT NOTHING LASTS FOREVER. EVERY THING ON THIS EARTH IS TEMPORAL. THE WORLD HAS SEEN VERY POWERFUL LEADERS, WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

  37. Only UPND sycophants and the Useless Amnesty International which rely only on social media crap can believe the dirty dagga smoking Pilato story…The President of the USA Mr Trump should not allow this economic refugee who is trying to use the name of an American Embassy…Mr Trump please you’re doing a good job and don’t allow this dirty thug Pilato in your country…On this one I support you Mr Trump 100%…

  38. Pilato the traitor
    Running away is not the answer. The song koswe mumpoto is not about the president alone.

    Look around where u are working and apply the same koswe mumpoto to your situation in your own context.

    Pilato is being supported by UPND HH. This move won’t make UPND win. They are more people in zambia than Tongas.

    Be ashamed if you support HH who has stolen so much from the Zambian people. My family and I will never support HH not because he is a Tonga but simply because he is a thieve.

  39. Pilato is behaving like an unpatriotic mercenary. He must have been given a lot of money by PF government’s detractors to fly to South Africa and give the impression that human rights in Zambia are being violated. On a video I saw yesterday, Chishimba Kambwili called ECL a pompwe and he has not been arrested. In comparison, Pilato’s song is just a harmless satire which I am reliably informed just amused ECL. Anyone who knows Pilato’s standard of living in Ndola will tell you that there is no way he can afford to fly and settle in South Africa at his own expense as an exile. There is something fishy here.

  40. “Writing from a secret location, Pilato said he was forced to leave Zambia and stay in the bush for 25 days after PF cadres threatened his life.” What did you do? If you join hooligans then you will be in their firing line. It is just like drug dealings, once you join the drug moles your fellow drug dealers will deal with you or they will come for you. So my advice, where ever you are be careful. You may have gone to a worse place than Zambia in terms of those things you may have involved yourself in.

  41. Pilato you should have bought fire engines before breathing fire again and again. Now you cannot handle your own. Don’t start a war without WEAPONS.

  42. Another sympathy seeking I’d!or you call Pilato! Atase ka kuwe trying to come out like a would be martyr! Just come back he and pay your rentals you dirty musician? see now miscreants like Clayson Ham as aka won’t do much to help you! imbecile!

  43. Owe chi Ndobo nangu dobo fuseki. We left to make a better life for our Children. Pilato’s pain is ours. Do you think I am happy to be a second class citizen. Wembulwa manowe. We love our country but for bakoswe.

  44. UPND has run out of ideas just like Railla Odinga who is installing himself as Kenya’s President when he never featured in the 2nd Presidential election which he engineered through some compromised Judges. UPND is now resorting to faking phenomenon of asylum for selected people like Pilato. Very soon BBC, a medium specialised in distorting news on Africa, will soon make a documentary on Pilato. When Zimbabwe resolved the”Mugabe saga” peacefully, BBC have been focusing onpast events in Matebeleland just to paint a dark picture of President Mnangagwa.The truth is that Pilato has been sponsored by HH and GBM.

  45. Lack of objectivity, burying heads in the sand through ignorance and unprincipled motives is the reason Zambia is where it is and will get worse.

    As has been said; “When they systematically came for everyone else, you did not speak for them and when they eventually come for you, who will speak for you?”

    Truly lamentable that some people simply ignore the points made or fail to respond to them constructively, but choose to attack someone’s personality. Does what Pilato says reflect the state of affairs or not? Never mind that he has left the country.
