President Edgar Lungu says the Late President Michael Sata taught him how to show love to others regardless of one’s tribe and region.

Speaking during the 4th memorial service for the late President Sata at St. Ignatius Catholic Church in Lusaka today, President Lungu said one thing that the people can learn from the late Mr. Sata is the way he taught his party members to embrace everyone in the country.

The Head of State said Mr. Sata was known as a man of the people and built his party on an all-inclusive policy in order to achieve one common goal.

President Lungu stated that Mr. Sata was positive in everything that he aspired to do and always reminded the party to be selfless.

He further said the late President always encouraged those in the Patriotic Front (PF) Party to work together and ensure that all parts of the country are developed.

The President added that it is also important to believe in the oneness of love by believing in Christ, the foundation on which Mr. Sata built the party.

And Archbishop of Lusaka Alick Banda said death leads people to fullness of life especially if one died in the Lord.

He said Mr. Sata was a man of action and of the people as well as a staunch Catholic till the time of his death.

The Archbishop said there is need for government to emulate his way of governance as he led an all-inclusive government with a pro-poor policy.

He said the late Mr. Sata fought for Justice for all and also ensured that corruption was dealt with on the foundation of the 10 commandants.

Late President Michael Sata died whilst serving as Republican President on October 28, 2014.

Meanwhile, President Edgar Lungu has been challenged to demonstrative he truly believes in late President Michael Sata’s vision for Zambia by putting to an end thefts of public resources.

National Democratic Congress (NDC) consultant Chishimba Kambwili has also urged President Lungu to show that his government truly cares about the poor.

Chishimba KabwiliMr. Kambwili who is also Roan Member of Parliament wants President Lungu and his government to realize that leadership is about uplifting the lives of the people.

In an interview with QTV News Mr. Kambwili says this means that President Lungu needs to make the necessary radical changes as he reflects on the leadership late President Sata exemplified.

Mr. Kambwili has recalled that the late Republican President demonstrated that he was more interested in ensuring that every Zambian can afford three meals a day, than he was interest in enriching himself.

And Mr. Kambwili has justified why he did not attended this year’s memorial for late President Sata that was held in Lusaka.

He says besides having not been formally invited to attend the memorial, he also feared a repeat of the harassment he went through last year when ruling PF cadres became violent.

Mr. Kambwili states that the NDC will however have its own wreaths laying event on the grave of the late Republican President on Monday.

    • Sata chased all those useless dent in society, like Kaizer etc. in nation interest, for the love of his country. There was no way HH would have smeared with treason by Sata. Did Sata even put HH is jail??
      Ba Edgar is lying, the truth is, he has been challenging Sata to near insulting him. How could Sata bring in Dora to be his government Spokesperson? How could Sata close The Post by hiring those scandalous Moyos.
      Sata wouldn’t keep MPs whose seats were nullified in courts. Even Masumba would agree with me.
      Mwilashenteka Lesa…

    • YOU ARE MAKING US FEEL LIKE *****S, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED LOVE, EMPATHY AND COMPASSION BEFORE. THE NEIGHBORS WE LIBERATED ARE SHOCKED AT WHAT HAS BECOME OF US InDUSTRIAL SCALE NEPOTISM, CORRUPTION, TRIBALISM … WE NEED TO RESTORE THE LEGACY OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS.

    • What are you talking about Lungu? What about the nepotism in your government? How does that show love to other tribes? Locking up HH for nothing, how does that show love? And by the way that Sata MHSRIP that you keep worshiping is the one who started the tribal divisions we are currently experiencing in Zed, however you have made it worse.

    • so you had to learn from sata how to love others not from your clan? lungu never fails to disappoint me whenever he opens his mouth,that statement already entails division and he is trying to portray he is above it but we know better dont we,he only cares about power and money.

    • Tribalism is a cousin of Racism. All racists are tribalists and all tribalists are racists! Tribalists here are more likely to H-attack the Chinese and are more likely to H-attack the President or those who are not Tonga or their grouping on this site. Now I am sure you H-understand when you read here.

  1. Kambwili is a none starter. He was quite when they were stealing together. Now that he is not part of the looting he stands tall, condemning even the Chinese

  2. The Archbishop said there is need for government to emulate his way of governance as he led an all-inclusive government with a pro-poor policy.

    He said the late Mr. Sata fought for Justice for all and also ensured that corruption was dealt with on the foundation of the 10 commandants.This means that the Archbishop knew that lungu was lying.

  3. Drunk again President Chakolwa??
    Just continue enjoying the proceeds of Corruption &, stop lying through your long teeth.

  4. Loser on a row, he thinks he can lie to but but we know his just a moron who doesn’t even remember what he said, probably drunk, kanshi kuyisundila on the way home, ichi chena chipuba

  5. Learn from sata? Did we learn corruption, tribalism etc from data. I don’t agree that sata started this tribal war. He actually wanted to unite tribes by link Zambia etc. One example is to develop towns like western province where he never even got votes from. Sata ran his race for the poor.

  6. Up to now no report from government about satas death. I can assure you guys that soon those who had a hand will soon start pointing at eàch other saying ndiwe. Wait while you watch.

  7. Truth be told MC Sata preached hatred against the Chinese and he promoted mostly Bembas to high positions. That is not showing love Bwana Lungu.

  8. Akainde failed to learn Statesmanship from the Late His Excellency President Sata.
    However Akainde was quick to learn Free Massonry from Andy Kambela Mazoka.

    • He learned SATANISM from Mazoka and he inherited the position. I am glad Zambia chose to put NATIONAL PRAYERS in OCTOBER, the month SATANISTS love to SACRIFICE in. It was not very happy! Its members and itself had to issue an order “BOYCOTT!”

  9. And being a pitiful person that he is, it took Michael Sata to teach him love and I would not have let Sata teach my dog anything, not qualified to.

  10. Sata this , Sata that, really boring stuff. Can’t you be your own man and offer selfless service to citizens? If Sata taught you to love people what were you before Sata taught you that, a hater of humankind? We know it’s all about praising Sata in order to capitalise on his vote pulling prowess nothing else.
    By the way Sata had his bad side like all humans, I hope we are not imitating those too.

  11. The way I have seen imyaka ifyo shilebutuka, 2021 nimupepi sana hope by then ninshi abena Emma “Jesus Christ” tabalabwela mukutupingula. That will be a year he will visit a Dentist nokumusambilisha ukwisala kukanwa.

  12. This man is a shameless liar and deceiver!
    The way he hates Tongas because of his hatred for HH is shocking. He has managed to retire people on tribal lines and appointed his tribesmen. If you go to most departments, you will find 90 to 100% Easterners with a few bembas. Sata himself was a tribalist going by his appointments! He divided Northern province on tribal lines. What I don’t understand is why does the word tribe trouble Chagwa so much? Is it a crime for other tribes to vote for their own? Is he not the one who was campaigning on the Wako NI wako platform? Ubufi bati! Better to be quiet than to fun tribal hatred all the time!

  13. Even Sata was not very clean in this area. He was the first all tribal President who appointed an almost 98% Northern/Muchinga cabinet! So there goes ECL lying again! ECL is the worst tribalist lawyer!

    • UPND vote is 99.8% TONGA. UPND chased the Electoral Commission from TONGA land who wanted to verify the TONGA voting register. When elections were done the region was beating even the most populous towns on the CB. When making of the Cabinet came TONGAS wanted Sata to appoint members of HH into his government. No wonder we began to see leakages of State “secrets” because the TONGA wanted SATA to appoint TONGAS who hated him as a “Thief” into power. It is no secret if this mentality does not change Zambians will NEVER trust people who think like HH. IF YOU DON’T VOTE FOR A PERSON & HE APPOINTS THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM, THAT IS NOT TRIBALISM – little boys!! It is TRUST. CHILDISH.

    • Goodnes CHILDISH hasn’t learned a thing even in his old age. No wonder he continues to lose every time because he listens to his TRIBAL GROUPING only.

  14. I doubt that the lesson was concluded. The teacher passed and the class disbanded before graduation… who advises this guy? Who writes his speeches? Iyee mayo imwe!!!

  15. AT SUNDAY SCHOOL WE WERE TAUGHT TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND TO LOVE GOD OUR CREATOR AND TO HONOUR AND RESPECT OUR PARENTS…WE GREW UP KNOWING THAT….I DON’T KNOW ABOUT OTHERS…..

    • Your boss has been lying to you and has not been real to you, that is why Mapatizya Formula is at play everyday! The good news is that it is UNELECTABLE.

  16. These childish unintelligible diatribes from Sharon have really got out of hand and are nauseating. This obsession with HH regardless of the story at hand, is really mind boggling. Unless she derives an orgasm at every mention of his name.

  17. I like your words sharon a father is a father weather drunk or not drunk he is our father only a fool refuses his father when his drunk
