    • You are not seeing the real picture. This is not different from what Idi Amin used to do… forcing himself on functions where he was not invited. By the way it’s not the thieving tribes that don’t want HH at Kuomboka… it’s the amaLozi themselves… insoni Ubuntu.

      That is the point……..

      it is you lot who are making more noise than the lozis……..

      You like a divided zambia…….

      Why should the president be excluded from tradition ceremonies……..???

      The tribal supremacists theives are hoping to dupe the lozi to support that corrupt ensemble of washed out business crooks masquerading as national leaders in UKA………

      I think they will find the lozis are more intelligent than to support a group of looters………

  2. The two Chiefs must ask him where the money he realized from the sale of maize is. He’s turned Zambia into a begging nation. Azaulula mambala All donors must ask him to account for the money realized from the export of maize before they donate. Where is the money?

    • Stupid *****s did your defunct TuPF criminal government pay the farmers? You looted all the money in the treasury and over borrowed, where did you expect the ND government to find money to pay the farmers? Use your rotten brains because we can’t be talking about the same thing all the time

    • Do you want to talk about an MMD project done over 20 years ago? The records are there for all to see. Have you ever wondered why the previous presidents did not prosecute HH over privatisation? Isn’t it amazing that there were many other Zambians who took part in decisions on privatisation and they are never mentioned.? Talk of Mr Valentine Chitalu who was the ZPA CEO. Am not saying stole but he may offer some explanation as to what happened.
      You and your friends in UKA are quiet about the $ 24 million stolen by Milingo Lungu in broad daylight.

  4. This man has good intentions, yet he faces unjust treatment. I wonder what the tribal supremacist youths are saying now; they must feel ashamed. Similarly, it appears that the UKA clique’s attempts to take advantage of HH’s misfortunes have failed more miserably.
    Take a look at the previous comment from the well-known LT Clique, who were equally anticipating ’emergedon’ but are now shifting away from the Kuomboka topic and instead discussing something else, all the while insulting HH.

    You still believe in Politicians….as for me the only Politician i thought meant well for Zambia was late Dean Mungomba…i meant him once along Great East road at Caltex….we had a brief conversation and he was very gracious and respectful…..
    All these Politicians making noise in Zambia now are all useless…PF…UPND…UKWA…MMD… etc

  8. Great to see The Litunga and The Chitimukulu coming together once again and consolidating this unit for the good of the country. Their close friendship looks very well intended and genuine. Great stuff!

  9. Spaka, mate could you please stop with this relentless tribal war talk on every article. Frankly it’s distasteful and unhelpful to you or your readers. You are the first to comment and you spit out vile stuff, unprovoked. C’mon man, how old are you, a kid? You are better than that!

    • It’s a pity that who ever is critical of HH is tribalist according to Mr Spaka. He forgets that if the so-called tribalists were tribal HH wouldn’t have won the presidential election.

  10. We need to realise we only have one president. He is our head of state and it does us no good to issue ultimatums or barring him from a function. What has happened to us as a people ? the respect we had for institutions, positions and generally our life values that bound as together previously . I am happy His Excellency found it in him that despite all he made an appearance and if indeed if our brothers still feel aggrieved about anything please find it in you to recognise we all but human and we all make mistakes and forgive. For the sake of our nation lets focus on development.
