  1. I hope he’s going to withstand the pressure because this election will be grueling. His charges have failed to find Pheluna and Milton. He’s also ineligible. I don’t understand why the PF gave us such a weak candidate. He has managed to silence all dissent. He’ll not have it easy. What he must understand is that the ConCourt doesn’t vote. We’ll continue to talk until he sweats and sweats and sweats. The heat is on

  2. All economic indicators are in negative and even before covid, so he wants to come back and do what?

  3. He has done very well. He has built school, he has built roads, clinics and hospitals. He has trained doctors, Nurses, teachers. Zambia is not short of trained staff. We have s much surplus we can eve export Doctors, Nurses and teachers,
    Our farmers are happy . This year we are headed for another bumper. Power challenges have been resolved. The road network across the country as opened Zambia. It takes much shorter to travel from Mpulungu to Kitwe. From Chipata to Lusaka, from Mongu to Solwezi. Our traders are able to do business now . Borders have been decongested at Chirundu, Nakonde, Livingstone. This is really a working government. VIVA LUNGU

  4. From 18th onwards the most formidable candidate will see his opponents like Mr. John Sangwa pulling several hidden cards tacked under their sleeves. But that won’t distract genuine voters who have made up their minds already.

  5. So he be the first president to rule Zambia for 12 years if he shall go through and what does our constitution say? It is fine and no one will stop him but being a lawyer and sitting president I think he will let us know if our constitution allows one to go through above 10 years in office.

  6. If Sangwa is really a man of his words, lets see what he will do. Otherwise he should not waste our time.

  7. My president is black and wise. What about you upnd diasporans, there abroad?

  8. @KZ
    The only message you can teach and tell people ba PF is;
    1. Insults
    2. Fights
    3. Killing
    4. Arrogance
    5. Intimidation
    You have never won any normal debate apart from your colloquial and vaguer language in all stations and markets you are all over known like that.
    Abana ba Nsoka Ninsoka it is true!

  9. Wishing the president all the best in this years election and all adopted members. Powered by ECL.
