Mulenga Sata on Thursday morning rejoined the ruling PF and immediately declared his intention to stand for the vacant position of Lusaka Mayor.
Mr Sata, son of late President Michael Sata quit the PF in 2016 after he was moved from State House where he served as Permanent Secretary and appointed Lusaka Province Minister.
He later joined the UPND and stood on the opposition ticket in the Kabwata Parliamentary elections in 2016 and lost to Given Lubinda.A few months ago, Mr Sata declared that he has quit active politics to concentrate on farming.But on Thursday, Mr Sata rejoined the PF and was welcomed by Party Secretary General Davies Mwila at the party secretariat.
Mr Sata remarked that “In the manner of the prodigal son, I herewith have seen the light: ‘once I was lost but now I am found’.
He added, The family of the Patriotic Front (PF) is what has made me what I am known to be as a politician. Whereas I started as a councillor, deputy mayor then mayor of Lusaka, Lusaka Province minister, State House minister served as vice publicity secretary at ward level, Lusaka District Chairman, vice treasurer Lusaka Province, I felt like a transplanted tree… deep down I knew that the essential nutrients needed to flourish were missing where I had gone.”
Mr Sata said the PF is a party that will continue to grow and attract new and old members alike.He said the leadership of President Edgar Chagwa Lungu is unique and comparable to none.
“His humble and simple approach to matters that affect the country and its people is fatherly. Having worked as deputy minister at State House gave me more reason to miss my boss greatly. Indeed, he was the chosen one and put firmly in his path by my late father. Supporting him clearly means satisfying and fulfilling the vision and mission of our founding father, late MC Sata.”
“Come 2021, ni nafuti nafuti with Edgar Chagwa Lungu. Chagwa Lungu,” he declared.
“Now, to answer the question as highlighted in one of the tabloids where I was purported to have hang my political gloves, here is the truth, service to mother Zambia need not be debated. Whenever I am called upon for service, who am I to say no? As men we multitask: as husbands, fathers, providers. Politics is also one of the duties and obligations we have to manage accordingly.”
Mr Sata said he admires the resilience and commitment with which PF has fought hard to sell its developmental agenda to the Zambians.“For example, the recent Chilanga by – election must not be forgotten as a big success including the many ward elections PF has won.”
Mr Sata has since declared his intentions to contest the position of Lusaka Mayor.“The upcoming elections of Lusaka Mayor will help cement the real growth and dominance of the PF in Lusaka. This vacant position as you may all be aware was once a position I held. I know the entire city of Lusaka and the majority of residents are familiar with both my name and face.”
“Many plans and programs that were initiated were not implemented as I only served for few months. My heart desires to fulfill my dream to see a transformed city of Lusaka. With that said, allow me to declare my interest to contest as executive mayor of Lusaka. As the saying goes, “once a mayor always a mayor.”
This is a joke right?
Thanks

The frenzy for adoption for MP, Mayor, Ambassador, Attaches etc positions is just so amazing. Under PF, these positions have become an opportunity/conduit to get rich quick through loans & tenders. It is my stomach first, Chinese second & country last.
Just look at how the likes of Antonio Mwanza, Mr.Maureen Nkandu sold their souls & morals in exchange for filling up the belly.
Even the death of the PF minister last week was being celebrated by those that have been eyeing adoption. Another guy eyeing Lusaka central bye-election was arrested for joining Lungu’s motorcade & driving into State House.
All he while Zambia is getting poorer & is currently 3rd hungriest nation in the world. Next year, we’ll take the top prize. What a shame

It’s a polictal joke from a political opportunist. It’s time we stopped supporting all political parties that adopt jokers who cross from one party to the other looking for food as candidates in elections. Time for new blood. Not political scams.
Hunger can be a great motivation. it’s not your friend
A rolling Stone gathers no Moss…So Sata did leave any solid investments for his family…children running around in circles try to eat…today PF..tomorrow UPND…tommorow farming….tommorow PF again…tommorow wants to be Mayor….insala ilafulunganya..i dont like when people ride on their father’s name..let outsiders also enjoy
This is called ukubuta 101…no doubt about it…so all these morons can’t survive without Politics…i applaud all the hustlers out there making a honest living without any Politicial connection…no matter how little you make…its all good…look at these Kambwili…Sampa…Sata..GBM without Politics they’re all dead
Hunger is the cause of the frenzy for adoption for MP, Mayor, Ambassador, Embassy Attaches etc. Under PF, these positions have become an opportunity/conduit to get rich quick through theft from loans & tenders. It is my stomach first, Chinese second & country last.

And when drive those massive Govt SUVs they look tough and yet they’re useless..when they’re abusing Tax payers money they think they are very smart…..no more using your father’s name to get favors mambala iwe….izakunyokola njala mpaka umuzibe Trump

Even Castro Chiluba became delusional and a sorry sight after his father was out of office..depression and those injuries he sustained ended up taking him to the grave early…..boasting while abusing tax payers money is not good…Kambwili used to fly to London just drink tea can you imagine…just for breakfast…very soon Kambwili will be eating nshima at chisokone market
“He wants to become Mayor of Lusaka” he thinks he is privileged..he thinks he can just “WANT” and it will be given to him like a spoiled brat
Maureen shouldn’t stand, she will lose to Mulenga.
But Mwaliteta or William Banda can pull through the rigs.
This chap is hopeless. He simply an opposite of his late father, Michael Chilufya Sata mhsrip.
Indeed a Joke of the year probably!
Yamunyokola njala
For how long will Zambians continue tolerating this monkey business of politicians swinging from branch to branch expecting to continue eating while the rest of the people are suffering? It’s high time the people spoke that the country has many other people capable of holding office! A movement should be now to discard these burdensome politicians behaving as if Zambians owe them loyalty and being taken for granted! New faces of a new generation for new management!
Ya munyopola njala pamene apa? There are no people left with morals anymore is there? Either this is a big joke or Mulenga has lost the plot. This might also behaviour resulting from going back to selling dogs! MULENGA have a bit of scrupules. I know it’s hard but ‘sebana wikute’ should not apply once you have been a minister before. We can understand Munkombwe is on his way out but that is not the reason why you have to take his place!
– MAUREEN Mwanawasa also wants to be Lusaka Mayor on PF ticket
– FISHO Mwale also wants to be Mayor on PF ticket
– Chilufya TAYALI also wants to be Mayor
– Now the weakling former Dog-seller Mulenga Sata wants to be Mayor on PF ticket.
The frenzy among PF00Ls for adoption for MP, Mayor, Ambassador, Embassy attaches is just so amazing.
Under PF, getting rich quick through bribes from loans & tenders in ONLY motivation. It is my stomach first, Chinese second & country last.

This man has non of the late president Sata’s genes or blood. I am sure these are off-side children. He is not a Sata blood. I am 101% sure. Abena babuceende aba elo babepeesha abalume. Bana Mulenga Sata, uyu mwana I think you got from a Ngoni or Tumbuka man and NOT ba the late. Aweee…!

MULENGA SATA IS AN EXAMPLE OF ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY AMONG SO-CALLED POLITICAL FAMILIES.
IF THEY FATHER WAS SO AND SO THEY MUST ALSO RIDE THE SAME. THIS CHAP US EVEN WORSE HE HAS NO CONVICTIONS: HE WAS MISGUIDED BY BITTER GUY SCOTT
THIS IS NOT A JOKE Mulenga and PF are a joke!
If he is adopted, PF must be taught the same lesson as UPND were given over Charmain in the Chilanga by-election.
Kwangala uku.
It’s this behavior which is producing the tokota boys
AND IF HE IS NOT ADOPTED WILL HE JOIN KAMBWILI?
SHAME
Hunger was catching up ….These lazy people can not survive a day outside politics it has nothing to serve the people but stealing just like Sampa…its like a Lion that turns into a man eater once its tastes human flesh and how easy to catch it it will not stop only a bullet will stop.
Look at Miles Sampa back in 2012 he was in the forefront of announcing EURO-BOND even had the cheek to post expenditure on his Facebook page like its his money, where is he today back to square one firing for the Office of the Mayor for Lusaka…why should people trust these recycled thieves?
@Jay Jay
I agree with you…..now we know what they’re motives are…these guys are parasites…they feed and survive on abusing tax payers money
Sata was a selfless hard worker in his day ….Avondale has his fingerprints sadly the man didn’t have time to mentor his sons as he spent time on choosing which wife/girlfriend’s bedroom he was going to spend the night in…look at Mulenga Sata an absolute disgrace!!
Now he has dossier. Watch out.its part of the game
Let him given the 3 years period like any other
The Bembas say insoni e buntu. Clearly these people have lost insoni. Ubuntu nabupwa. Very embarrassing.
Hahahaha, PF beware of the ticks!
“Come 2021, ni nafuti nafuti with Edgar Chagwa Lungu. Chagwa Lungu,” Mulenga declared.
These boys have no shame at all him and Sampa…no shame at all…his Dad also knew that this boy was a waste of time.
Yes teach u5 lesson.
Why accept any character
Desperation
These boys are now taking us for a ride… Who let him back in the house ????…..
He will be appointed Ambassador like his misguided Step Mother Kaseba who is oblivious to how much potential she has…maybe shopping in Paris everyday is more of a passion for her!!
Yamu nyokola njala mambala….kikikikikikikikiki
True insoni ebantu , politics of the belly digusting
Political prostitution at its best
Surely what can these lazy people do outside of politics all of them Bowman, Sampa, Mulenga etc …they can not run an honest successful business as they need GRZ contracts just like BUFFOON CK who was boasting about flying to London like taking a cab from Kabwata to Kabulonga when all his businesses depended on GRZ contracts…these people are like Mosquitoes take away the filthy stagnant water and they wont generate income.
Akansoni kafwila pabulyango
Uku kwangala. The loser was given a ministerial position which he didn’t even deserve and resigned without a tangible reason…..don’t trust this political flyweight. Just imagine washing a pig and expect it to remain clean.
What does this say about UPND?
There are making ECL look like he knows what he’s doing, while they all have the same ambition “stealing” Sata should even be ashamed of using the name Sata, his father was a lot better than this.
He has no shame …now he can be made PS in Ministry of Information under Dora and he would be proud being under someone who traded insults your father everyday.
You know the thing with newly acquired corrupt wealth like Lazy Lungu and Kaizer even Mulenga is you need to steal more to fund your lifestyle …the more you steal the more money you need to fund that property…its a dirty cycle that’s why RB is back
No nutrients in UPND … Kikikiki! Money is the key Nutrient of Zambian politics! Sadly, the African electorate does not respond well to Ideas! They respond well to key nutrients! It’s politics of nutrients!
Adopting Mulenga Sata is not different from adoption Charmaine Musonda.
The reason Mulenga Sata has come back to PF is to come and eat. A few weeks ago he said he has quit politics and go into farming. Ba PF your constitution says that if a member leaves the party, that member will only be allowed to contest elections after three years, correct me if I am wrong. You make the mistake of adopting Mulenga Sata for the Mayoral elections, you will be taught a lesson. Remember how UPND lost the Chilanga seat. There are some loyal members of PF who should be given a chance not this unstable Mulenga Sata who says one thing today, tomorrow he says something else. Of what value is he bringing on the PF table? He just wants to use his late father’s name. No wonder his father never gave him any position.
100% correct
Do they know or even remember that they have a constitution when it is sibana wekute time.
PF don’t give the mayoral seat to Mulenga Sata. If you do, just be rest assured that he is going to lose. Mulenga Sata has fallen off the people’s favour. Let him just be a member. If you have ears to hear , hear what Truth Hates has said.
Mulenga Sata was Mayor of Lusaka before, he never cared and he was using it as a stepping stone and that’s where all the mess started…today he would grab that post with both hands.
Yamuniokola njala mwana wa masiye
Decision and desperation are nouns that confront our political systems now.Politicians do not stick to their decision.They move like waves which have no direction.They become desperate if their motives conflict with the decisions they made.No wonder our politics is full of nothing but people who are chancers and puppets.The whole political system is full of prostitutes who have no direction.It is a big shame that when they jump from one political party to another they are considered for positions of influence.These are the people who have made politics to dirty like a pig sty.
That’s because the POLITICAL culture allows it and Zambians are DOCILE…if you woke up in a 5 year coma in Zambia ..you would shocked at how the politicians have moved…as the politicians are all morally bankrupt and have no principles…don’t be surprised if you see BUFFOON CK back with Lazy Lungu as he is still PF just give him 6 months let him feel the economic hardships and the legal fees from his bloodsucking lawyers…he will wish he remained on that hospital bed.
All the comments here are not real – it just depends on where you belong. No objectivity as usual at all. PF are happy with is move UPND are sad, it was the same when he was crossing over. So no issue here
That’s because you only see black and white, PF and UPND…I have a feeling I know which blogger posted this
@22 njalika
Wrong is wrong…right is right my dear friend…dont just support malabishi just because you’re PF…..i know its you Mulenga Sata(Njalika)….but one thing is certain…if PF adopts you then whoever UPND adopts will win the election…Mulenga you dont have the same acumen as your late half Father Michael Chilufya Sata….i have more respect for a vendor selling matches on the street corner than you tax payer bandits
Politics is about numbers. Mulenga Sata is welcome to pf but let him serve his three year probation period before he can be considered for any appointment. Pf should avoid making the same mistake upnd made in chilanga. Besides, Lusaka needs someone who is not closely related to any senior member of pf, past or present. To be mayor of lusaka, we need someone who can easily be reprimanded for poor performance. We really need serious development in our capital city in order to attract foreign investment.
Game of numbers ? What’s 11+(-20)?
From being Presidential aspirants, Mulenga and Sata have been reduced to fighting for being Mayor.
Lazy Lungu will throw him in a ring with Sampa so the hungry fooools fight each …like Roosters fighting to the death whilst KZ and the rest laugh at them!!
He wants to be mayor? Let him stand on Hikainde party or as an independent, the son of an HH.
This is purely a joke at it’s best..!
Comedy in politics….anyway politics teyabana!
You don’t hear of such gymnastics in developed world. This man should have concentrated in agriculture and am sure he would have been making his money. Is he saying that he is equally a failure in agriculture since it is similar to politics where one needs to shuffle his cards right.
CHRISTOPHER SHAKAFUSWA FOR MAYOR UNDER PF. SEND MULENGA SATA TO GO AND CONTEST AS COUNCILLOR FOR NAKACHENJE WARD IN CHILANGA IF PF FEEL PITY FOR HIS NJALA YAMUNYOKOLA…………………………
That’s why I stopped voting. Miles Sampa and Mulenga Sata should not be taken seriously.PF should be very careful with such people.Niba muselela kwakaba. If UPND had formed government in 2016 would he have resigned?
Or Upnd had retained the Chilanga constituency? ******?
Welcome back home son!!Your daddy started and suffered for PF a lot so you need to enjoy the sweat of your father!!PF is Sata and Sata is PF so Mulenga Sata is most welcome in PF.President Edgar Lungu must forgive this young man and give him a job.
But am pretty sure that PF cannot adopt Mulenga Sata few days after rejoining PF unless if he rejoined together with Miles Sampa just after 2016 elections!!!
The great loser here is HH who by now must know that his only loyal members are tongas who cant ditch his UPND.The rest could ditch UPND anytime.Even GBM or Kambwili could do the same after losing to PF in 2021 or even before!!
PF SHOULD ADOPT MILES SAMPA OR MAUREEN MWANAWASA AS LUSAKA MAYOR!!
Sorry, forming a party is not the same as forming a company. …..a party belongs to any Zambian who wants to join it …a company belongs to the owner and his familym.
Now you are thinking! I just don’t understand what went into your heads, Mulenga, Sampa, Dr. Sata and Dr. Guy. I think the last person confused the lot. I am glad fate has proved all of you that you were wrong. President Sata had worked with Edgar Lungu for a long time and had been his lawyer for years, therefore, he knew him better that he was the man who could take the reigns of power. If you guys had been patient and worked yourself up time would have come! Remember Chiluba? Don’t rash to the top. Establish trust. Have you seen that one chronic loser will never be president? Reason, dull and Childish! He doesn’t “weigh” himself first. All the best Mulenga.
@29, If Mulenga goes to contest for councilor what will HH contest for? I think you should have said HH.
I don’t see anything wrong with Mulenga Sata running.
I have serious doubts and issues with people who will vote for him. One day people will realize their power.
$$orange91
You have given me HOPE! ONE DAY ZAMBIANS WILL REALISE THEIR POWER and those eating amasuku on their heads will be sorry. They impoverish them, they cheat them and waste their time listening to empty propaganda on captive TV channels the same Zambians pay for, and yet the votes keep coming. ONE DAY!
@3.3,HaJayJay, “When a man deserves praise, give it to him while he is alive! He will never have time to read his tombstone.” I cannot buy into your words being written between clenched teeth! Praising Sata, you Mr. Hakainde, Jr! Wow! You claim to “love” his father and you extremely hate the son and pretend that we can buy into your deceit! HaTribes have a motivation and it is in the blood! We can see it in other postings above so DO NOT PRETEND chief tribal bully and hooligan of the tribal party.
Lazy bum son of a lazy bum tribal polygamist father is the chief spokesperson, hooligan and bully of a tribal gathering Horganization and HH wants him to be the “Minister of Information” in his Chieftainship in Namwala. Even a prodigal son Sata will beat Charmaine Horganization.
Maureen Mwanawasa is not a PF member and Miles Sampa is serving his probation. Let PF adopt someone who has been faithful and loyal to the party. I myself would not like either Maureen or Miles anywhere near the corridors of power. The PF members who defected to other parties prior to 2016 general elections are back stabbers. They should just be ordinary members. That will send a signal to would be turncoats. We don’t not want the drama and confusion which happened in 2016 to happen again in 2021. That’s my take.
You’re wrong. Politics is about ideas/ideologies or at least it should.
The problem is Zambians are fools, I mean who tolerates such idiocy.
You can use the prodigal son parable all you want, the fact is Mulenga Sata has eaten has vomit.

Oh oh! “I will stand for Lusaka Mayor”, says Mulenga Sata. So is he standing as an independent against a PF candidate? Or PF will not adopt anyone but support the independent? Or PF will do primaries which Mulenga will lose if all else is equal. I don’t see how PF intends to pull off this one in a normal way.
Ba jj, I keep telling you that you are not in my league, so stop comparing with me please, your league is within your directionless upnd hakainde party.
Insala is a very bad thing. Met this guy by crossroads and he lying ati he was planning life after politics kanshi ngala chabe. What an embarrassment to the late father. Mailo anyway it’s his right
You welcome but remember you will be given 3 years and then a review, therefore, there’s no chance for you.In any organisation there are rules.A real organisation will have no sacred cows.You have to be last in the queue.
Zed politics ..yanjala. Knowing Zambians, he is our next mayor of lusaka. no principles like father like son.
So as son of former President you just want and you get it?
PF had better handle this one with care and better than tgs directionless upnd. Otherwise it will be left with half the members standing on the fence waiting to see which way to go in 2021, which is a very bad position for any party. PF can lose 2021 just on account of one selfish and greedy minion Mulenga Sata.
upnd cadre…. you and your likes live sata to lead his life as he wishes. just tell your tuma lazy fathers of to the same
Give chance to those who have been loyal and hard working. Let him pay for his misdeeds.
Ba Mulenga don’t be moving like a head less chicken anyway we are peaceful people in Zambia and the only thing that you can do is to thank most our loyal President Edgar chagwa Lungu and PF members
Lost son we welcome you all.
Voetsek!
I totally agree with Shaka (@44). This is taking people for granted. Just because MC Sata was a politician does not give Mulenga entitlement to rule.
Let’s have protest vote.
PF must be consistent in its application of its constitution provisions. Miles was given threes years and true the guy respected that. Sata welcome to the ‘Pate’ of rules. If you are a true member observe three years. Ba SG we plead with you to remain steadfast with you decision.
Njala Guys, its something that is very bad….. You cannot have principles na njala. These guys are useless and cannot maintain their status without money that comes for free. They have failed to work for their own hence coming back to the party in government knowing one way or another they will eat something for free. Miles Kilometers Sampa and Mulenga Sata are two most useless young politicians we have in Zambia. PF should give chance to people like Brian Hapunda to stand as LUSAKA MAYOR than these 2 Jockers…..
Despite his father having sent to better schools, Mulenga’s brain is kokai, he can’t think properly. He has no remorse, he’s just gone back to PF because he wants to be a Mayor. People in Lusaka West are still distressed because of his illegal land deals together with Gerry Chanda and late Kasonso. There’s nothing that he has brought to the PF except his scrotum. Didn’t he say he had retired to be a farmer? Imamba chacine taifyala mamba mbiye
Mulenga is this farming your talked about weeks ago sure mind you. As for us up coming politicians you can’t be trusted my brother. In life true matters always
Mulenga Data can do anything whether UPND or PF but will forever remain a dog seller,according to Mumbi Phiri,the PF prophetess

I recently watched a Zambian singer in the Sophiatown night club in Johannesburg singing a song of his called yamunyokola. It’s beautiful. I hope he releases it
