The Patriotic Front Central Committee has directed that the noble way to honor the legacy of the Patriarch and PF founding President Michael Sata who died in 2014, on 28th October is for all leaders and members to promote unity of purpose by embracing discipline, reconciliation, forgiveness and promoting public service above self.
The directive was made during a Caucus Meeting held at State House with Patriotic Front Members of Parliament.
The meeting heard how on several occasions President Sata forgave and reconciled with individuals that had differed with him, including some who had previously physically attacked him.
The Central Committee received a report from the Local Government Committee on operationalisation of Statutory Instrument number 12 of 2018 which empowers Local Government in appointing markets and bus stations boards to run markets and bus stations.
After receiving the report, the Central Committee assured that it had noted concerns raised by marketeers and transport operators during their consultative meetings with the Ministry of Local Government.
The Central Committee further noted that the process which began in 2017 to look at the effective running of Markets and Bus Stations must be concluded.
It in this regard directed a taskforce comprising of the Ministry of Transport and Communication, Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Local Government to present recommendations in the next 14 days aimed ensuring high standards of public health, orderly and lawful management of markets and bus stations.
In a statement issued by Party Secretary General Davies Mwila, the Central Committee commended Minister of Local Government Charles Banda for his Ministry’s continued efforts to improve service delivery at local level.
Nonsense.
I miss him wholeheartedly though.
I hold a PhD and I’m only 27
Thanks

President had the courage to fire misfits like Ronald Chitotela and Kaiser Zulu. The current pretender is clueless on anything. RIP Sata!!
Insulted and scandalized by haters.
One MCS.
The moment you made it to plot 1, was the moment you were taken.
We Trendsetters are few.
Even last yr you were 27 years
mushota has been 27 since 2007. our friend doesnt grow old
Nika vampire ka Mushota.
Here is the difference between Sata’s legacy and Mwanawasa’s legacy.
Sata made Zambians to believe Mwanawasa was a Cabbage and unfit to govern and yet Mwanawasa’s time in office moved Zambia up to Middle income status as a country. The Kwacha appreciated, the economy was growing at 7%+, Our Reserves were more than our national debt and thus our credit rating had a positive outlook, cadre violence was stopped in one sentence, the rule of law was alive, defamation of the president was not an issue despite the heavy defamation Levy received. He even joked with those who defamed him. The Press was free indeed and political players had enough political space unlike now. God in His mercy allowed Sata to be president so that Zambians can now see for themselves the fraud Sata was! Even…
If you knew anything about IPIC completion you wouldn’t have accredited to Levy but since on LT people just speak I guess it’s just one of those things.
The fruits that Zambia enjoyed for a few years that happened to be during Mwasawasa rule begun the very time Zambia accepted SAP which includes liberalising the economy wone Zambia a condition that if they paid a certain sum of money and followed some policies their debts would be cancelled. in 2000 the Jubilee year the Catholic bishops organised the debt cancellation campaign by obtaining as many signatures towards which some churches preached to their pple that it was a means of getting the country into the famous ilitrate beliefs there is 666.
Actually Zambia didn’t perform well by allowing kwacha to grow so strong because…
……. it disadvanged exportation and we did was to bring in so many imported stuff.
The case of Zambias success or failure can’t be pointed to an individual or one government. it’s all been through inheriting and passing on success and failure.
The point ck is what did Sata or the current president pass on or carry on and the answer is nothing worth writing home about,hence tje recognised attributes by Mwanawasa who carried on with HIPC and also did a good job on the rule of law.Sata and Lungu are the worst presidents to ever rule this country and the results are there to see
I honestly dont know why you are evening fighting over who did what and what not. Simple list the MMD cabinet ministers of Chiluba and the cabinet ministers of the current PF. Now one on one ,who can match the Chiluba cabinet. 1. Dr Chiluba vs Dr Lungu 2. Levy vs madam Wina as vice presidents 3. Finance minister who came out the best in the world come on people it’s like comparing the KK11 national team to the current national team.
If Sata is the standard setter then Zambia has a one way ticket to Kolwestan! It does not take a lot of grey matter in one’s head to realise that any country that can allow Lungu, the epitome of mediocrity, to exercise instruments of power in its corridors of state is a sick society. The recent UN address by Lungu was a classic, true, serious people have no time to waste listening to jockers! If he is the best the country can offer then no wonder the economy and politics are all in free fall, kunya bebele!
Rip although it is partly your fault that we find ourselves with mediocre and corrupt leaders from the party you founded. It seems the lower structures of your party comprised alot of negative thuggish elements and it will be difficult to get rid of that foundation your party was based on. My whlte wlfe says mulibwaaanjeee in British accent
Sata was an illiterate who thought borrowing for Zambia was mana from heaven,
Sata firmly beloved Zambia is rich enough to give Zambians free money in their pockets with out working his it……
He is the one who had a fraud convict as his minister of home affairs …..that is how illiterate and retrogressive he was
Sata’s history will be rewritten, an incompetent, clueless leader with good political skills that saw him enter State House and literally destroyed all we worked for as a nation…
MCS is best forgetten he gave us CK,Jean, nsanda, and the many misfits who ruled…KK warned us that “he is only fit as a governor”
ya he really warned you though he left you in a country that looked like a big toilet. at least now you can boost of coming from some country. if there is a man responsible for Zambians laziness it’s kaunda
What is there to emulate from Sata? Hypocrisy will kill people.
Imagine?A clueless, divisive character who bestowed on us equally clueless characters
no wonder things are like this to emulate sata is as good as having no direction like he didnt have. borrowing without having any means to pay back with high interest. this has continued as his legacy in pf. shame we are in trouble. he imblesed fellow iliterates to couse confusion in politics its very much there.
MC Sata RIP. People may blame you for leaving us Edgar but in your defence people had 2016 elections to choose their own leader long after you were gone. Guy Scott tried to warn us but we never heeded his advise so who should we blame apart from ourselves. We have another opportunity coming in 2021 and people have the chance to do what they want to do and it will be really sad if they continued blaming you after that.
Fellow country Men and Women let us ensure that we preach peace amongst ourselves…
Zambia has been blessed and privilaged to have a leader like His Exellency Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu who has a heart for the people of this land.
His Exellency Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu in his reign as president has experienced and still experiencing a lot of set backs but yet still embraces each situation that rises with a positive mindset knowing that being a leader for such a great nation as Zambia will not be all Rosy.
President Lungu is a leader that God gave us as scripture states that “All leadership and authority comes from the LORD”, remember nothing just happens God saw it fit to entrust such a man with this nation.
May our good Lord continue giving you the strength and wisdom to take this…
Are you trying to provoke people to insult or just thinking from your a.s.s
Fu..ck off mwe.
Infact Sata is the first mistake we made.We voted for a sick man.So unfortunate.He fainted at one of the campaign rallies prior to 2011 polls
He was not presidential material. The result is that after him, each Jim and Jack in PF and elsewhere thought that they can be president. The current economic challenges facing the country including the unmanageable debt can be traced back to this type of leadership. Many completed infrastructure projects today e.g. grand police stations in the middle of nowhere are white elephants standing as monuments or reminders of very poor decisions. If you have seen the ones in chibombo or lufwanyama you should agree with me especially if you are PF.
Fine a dead person deserves a memorial, but that should be all.

Biggest mistake Zambians ever made was in 2011 when they allowed this man into State House. I appreciate he was a hard worker at operational level answering to people with strategic ideas. As president, he was as clueless as the clown who currently occupies State House.
If President Sata had continued ruling this country, the economy would have come to a complete stop by mid 2016. He was good at spending money but had no clue on how to deal with the revenue side of the financial equation. Infrastructure contracts were over priced and given to people on patronage, a bloated cabinet plus deputy ministers and Permanent secretaries, rewarding who ever helped him get into office and ALL MERIT WAS FORGOTTEN. President Lungu has tried so hard to reverse the impacts of Satas clueless management style WITHOUT EXPOSING SATAS UNDERLYING DAMAGE ALREADY DONE TO THE ECONOMY.
SATA JUST SPENT AND SPENT AND SPENT IN SECTORS THAT MATTER THE ECONOMY AT MORE THAN TEN FOLD THE MARKET COST WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT THE INCOME SIDE OF THE NATIONAL FINANCIAL EQUATION. TO…
