  1. Uyo Jona, just visited State House, changed clothing, & on his way out playing again.

    • Lungu Lungu Lungu….no shame and look at those silly people lining up at the red carpet….thats a of tax payers money….why do they need to greet him every time…Freedom Sikazwe also gobbling allowances which is tax payers money…and Zambians back home think this is normal and they’re happy when the President is making all the unnecessary trips

    • 2021 we just need change….it doesn’t matter who but definitely not PF bandits guys please napapata……in New York Lungu was given just one Police car(just to help him get through traffic because of Yellow taxis and Uber) and Lincoln SUV kwasila….now back in Zambia people are starving and he is filling up benzene in his private jet with Tax payers money every day

    • Seriously, when does this guy work? He just came from touring New York, and now he’s on the way to Northern Province. We need to vote this lazy guy out of office, come 2021. He’s way too lazy to be an effective president. Let’s vote him out please. Aimlessly flying around, wasting taxpayer money. Lazy Lungu.

    • Lungu is either Traveling abroad or domestically. When does Lungu sit in his Office to work and consider all these problems facing the Nation? His Govt is talking about Austerity measures. Does Lungu know that Austerity should start with him? These Travels are costly and need to be reduced. Lungu is already in the Campaign mood for 2021 Elections. By eating Snakes, Lungu sees himself as a Strong Man who cannot be intimidated. Lungu sees Nothern Provinces as key to his electoral win in 2021. He thinks EP is his becoz he comes from there. He is trying to Capture CB and Lusaka Province but becoz of high cost of living,corruption by his Govt etc its not going to be easy. However, he has Captured ECZ, the Military, Concourt, Public Service etc so he can rig the 2021 Elections with little…

    • Arm chair criticisms! We have a working head of state. Contrary to the “Cheap Talk by the opposition”the head of state is working.

  2. We ‘ve got a hardworking President who never stays in state house to enjoy its luxuries but is always out there attending to the needs of his people

    • @dudelove you the same damn hypocrites you will be condemning him when he just stays there in state house to enjoy its luxuries. Takwaba kuwamya.Muntu alibe chabwino

    • Yes if he stays in State House and the economy continues to sink the way it is doing while he is running around we will condemn the dull man. The only difference would be at least we would save some money if he stops moving around.

  3. This man really has no calibre. Sometimes I really resist coming to certain conclusions but this man must be criminal because criminals do not stop to think about their actions only if they can gain something.

    When there are problems, this man becomes so quite as if to say “you are on your own, there is nothing I can do. Deal with it.” Meanwhile at the end of the day he collects allowances and salary for no work done.

    So many scandals and problems but you only hear about him when he is flying or campaigning. He is even campaigning as if he is doing a good job. This fooling and mocking citizens.

    Opposition, please rescue us from this charlatan else Zambia will be gone. It is not enough to point out problems, come up with a program you disseminate properly to citizens. Do…

  4. He going to eat more Snakes and Campaign for 2021 Re-Election. The Plan is for Lungu and PF to win in all Bemba Provinces and Eastern Province and then as b4 Rig the Vote in CB and Lusaka Provinces. The Defence Forces will standby Lungu after Rigging the 2021 Elections. Its a dangerous and high Risk Political Strategy. The writing is on the Wall.

  5. My mature comment was deleted after appearing. This is why we are having a failed president because we have partisan media.

    • In my earlier comment, the only strong word I used was calling Lungu a charlatan. This is not an insult, the word charlatan means someone falsely claiming to have certain skills or knowledge. This is true of Lungu since he is not even trying to solve the problems but he collects allowances and salary. He was also debarred as a lawyer. He claimed that he could be a president but he has failed to be president. By inference, he must be a charlatan.

  6. Really with all the problems facing zambia from loadshedding, high meal meali prices, high petrol prices, huge debts one would think the president would be locked up in state house with a think tank team working on solving these problems. Not with Lungu, he is pre occupied with amassing money through allowances and enjoying his gulf stream toy.

  7. ECL the real serpent………Zambia the real africa.
    This is what you get for voting blindly.You will be tormented like hell.

  8. Ba UPND, when we tell you that mulibana we just mean that because you are still in diapers. The problem you have is that you dont understand how things work but then you are the loudest and only on online. Inchito ni mu field to apply what you have read and studied otherwise you as good as a professor who seemingly can recite each and every word in a text book yet very poor in life.
    Present Lungu reads reports more than Ichilema and then follows up to ensure he is not told what he wants to hear. The only thing HH reads is his poorly prepared and endless press conference notes but where have those things taken him? ZERO. See the difference? When you lose elections, then you start to wonder why, you chaps in UPND need to be examined mentally because I cant believe that this HH has held you…

    • Iwe mambala we would only swallow your nonsense if we never saw Levy work! The man was rarely flying around whether internationally or domestically but the economy was doing very well. Now this clueless clown is all over the place and things are still getting worse so what exactly are you trying to defend? Where have you seen Company MDs or CEOs forever moving around the company inspecting projects that should be inspected by managers? And how do you compare what a head of State does to what an opposition leader is doing? What impact do the actions of an opposition leader have on the nation and economy? Calibre ya PF tefintu, you people are beyond dull.

  9. contd
    President Lungu reads reports more than Ichilema and then follows up to ensure he is not told what he wants to hear. We call it balancing your leadership acumen. The only thing HH reads is his poorly prepared and endless press conference notes but where have those things taken him? ZERO. See the difference? When you lose elections, then you start to wonder why, you chaps in UPND need to be examined mentally because I cant believe that this HH has held you captive so long and yet you expect new outcomes, takwaba.

    • When a CEO always has to follow up on reports given to him only means his appointees are beyond useless and since he started following up and there has been no improvement also means he is as useless as they are mune. Try another argument.

  10. Lungu’s eyes are focused on winning the 2021 Election. Lungu has figured out that if he can win the Bemba Provinces and Eastern Province, 50% of CB and 40% of Lusaka Province he can win the 2021 Election. With the help of Election Rigging this is possible. Lungu has Captured all Electoral Institutions like ECZ, ZPS, Air Force, the Army, Concourt, HC etc rigging the 2021 Elections should be easy. Any Resistance against a Rigged Election will be crushed by the Army, Air Force and Special Forces. Will Lungu’s Plans materialise? God knows!

  11. the height of the time he seemed popular and the things had not reached this low he won by slightly 100,000 votes wat of this time wen things are in this state

    • Zambia on auto pilot. You can keep on hoping but if you waste your vote it going to be a point of no return. This guy never used to look Data up in the eye. Played humble and had no presidential ambitions. He had said he had no vision but you people still went and voted for him. If you think it wasn’t stupid of you. Wait till he puts bill 10 in place to see how you are going to get him out.

  14. What is wrong with this man? The country’s economy is on its knees and he sees it fit to be flying around? He was in Mbala soon after his arrival from the US and now he must return to the same province for three days?? A classic example of how not lead a country! Well meaning Zambia’s can’t wait for the day this wasteful chap is shoored out of State House for good. It will be good riddance of….

  16. Surely the special forces pass out parade cud hv bn delayed by a week so that only one trip to NP cud suffice. 2 birds cud hv bn killed with one stone, so to speak. Money saved cud bn used elsewhere no matter how “little” it may seem in their eyes….every ngwee counts esp that we will soon start servicing the Euro bond kaloba we borrowed…. it’s painful to hv bn born in this patch of the savannah with such wastefulness….

  17. Puff adders (amafwafwa) beware this man has developed a taste for you serpents.
    Mwandi panjila always on tour like ba mayenge

  18. Come 2021, all these arm chair critics will be sorry. All they do is criticise and criticise with no tangible suggestions. Their small god (Wamuyaya) has nothing to offer the people of Zambia. He is just chewing the Anglo American money.

  19. Just when does this bum ever get to sit in his office to for once do some bit of work for a change? Honestly, it looks like he is in the air, within Zambia or overseas, travelling aimlessly addressing empty chairs at meetings where nobody wanted him to begin with. Especially this UN general assembly, Zambia is a laughing stock now after Sata failed to address the same assembly in October 2014 because he was busy dying in his hotel room, see below, what an unhealthy situation:

    **** google zambia-has-king-cobra-lost-his-bite

    Now you can understand why nobody wants to listen to a Zambian president, they are always sick in the head or body!

  20. The irony is that Africa’s best performing presidents delegate work to their ministers n barely travel yet their economies are a marvel, I am talking about Kigame , Magufuli n that chap from Botswana , mwati ni pa Zed. Every 2 weeks Bali pa airport, awe mwandi.
