Woo, Zambia will start afresh tomorrow. I can’t wait to see what it be like mwa HH.
Thanks for coming in foreign dignitaries, we are very happy with our democratic change in Zambia, because for example we had a President who was very autocratic, imagine at one point we had a bye election in which he chased all opposition leaders from campaigning in a district called Chilubi because him as President was going to campaign in that district.. Imagine a whole district left to him alone to campaign and all opposition leaders chased out by the Zambia Police.
I am on my way. Landing tonight, see you in morning at Heroes Stadium.
Zambia is BACK…..
Zambians have proven to the world that they
Can throw away a strong ruling party with
Everything at their disposal with power using
The ballot box.This should be an example to
Other African and other countries.
Ba PF and Lungu, read this “Dr Masisi was accompanied by former Botswana president Festus Mogae and the leader of opposition Dumelang Saleshando.”…and leader of the opposition…….you read that right !!!
And yet imwe ba mambala, you could NOT invite HH to KK`s funeral…..everything was politics pa PF. Botswana…there you go, as an example, and that is how it should be. It’s there for you to see, and that was the reason you were called the upcoming dictator. Had Lungu been re-elected, it would have been worse, because there would have been nothing to stop Lungu, thank God, they stopped this man. For sure he would have locked up HH once and for all without mercy, he was cruel.
@Ba Nostradamus, please represent the diaspora and make us proud. The bad words spewed on us because we begged to differ with the govt have not made us love Zambia less. Home is where the heart is. We are hoping to come in in droves as opportunities to invest in mother Zambia without a kanichekeleko become a reality.
Nice one opposition and the ruling side moving together thumb up Botswana
@ General Kanene
Point on boy
Sure @ General Kanene
Point on boy
@General Kanene, he still is cruel. Listen to his speech at the funeral of the PF member that was killed in Solwezi. It is full of hate. Chagwa was turning this country into his own backyard. Zambians showed him that our tolerance had been stretched. Thank you abena Zambia. You makes us mighty proud! Sending positive vibes from afar.
In the meantime Mad Nawakwi is Migrating to Botswana,as she threatened
A Luapula chief Puta has said that it is time that Zambia was ruled by a Zambian instead of sojourners. Has this been lost in translation?
Before you invoke the names of illiterate Chiefs you equally must arm yourself with knowledge,know your history. In the 1880s there was tectonic population shifts (migration) in the subsaharan Africa that affected every ethnic group in some form. The Europeans thirst to conquer for Gold and other treasures triggered the movement north stretching from Mozambique to Angola. The worrier Zulu tribe filtered as far north as Tanzania but mostly festered in Eastern province where the Ngonis repelled British forces at fort young (Chief Mpezeni) and fort Jameson (Chipata)named after British commanders. That pattern included Fort Rosebery(Mbala) where another fierce resistance ensued. So northern and Eastern provinces were emblematic of the resistance. Meanwhile the British were Coercing The…
Lungu hated HH just because he was seeking a political office but thank God us zambian were far ahead of his petty hatred and showed him de exit door through de ballot paper. De corrupt courts even gave him 3rd term but we said no as custodians of de constitution.
@The Saint I am sure the chief knows something that the rest of us are not privy to. For the first time Zambia will be ruled by a genuine indigenous Zambian whose lineage is traceable. The other former presidents apart from Mwanawasa have or suspected of having foreign origins. There’s nothing wrong with foreign origins, just to point out historical facts. Kaunda never hid the fact that he was born in Nyasaland, Rupiah Banda was born in Southern Rhodesia. Chiluba was of Congolese origin. Acting President Guy Scott’s parents came from the UK. Sata and Lungu nobody has revealed where exactly they were born. It is said that Sata’s father worked as a cook for an army officer in Nakonde area. One can speculate that his father may have come from Tanganyika. As for Lungu he says he was born at…
