Zambian Information Minister, Mike Mulongoti says some corrupt people have taken advantage of President Levy Mwanawasa’s illness to campaign with the intention of assuming power.
The Chief Government spokesperson says such people are busy dishing out money with the hope of achieving their objective.
But Mr. Mulongoti says thieves and corrupt people will never rule Zambia because it is a Christian nation.
He said this at the Redeemed Methodist Church in the capital, Lusaka where the church held a prayer session for the Zambian leader.
Mr. Mulongoti also said ministers will not stop visiting churches to pray for President Mwanawasa even though the action has been criticised by some people.
And Redeemed Methodist Church Trinity congregation pastor in Charge, Reverend Alletty Chibumbe condemned calls by some people that the government should reveal how much money is being spent on President Mwanawasa’S illness.
Reverend Chibumbe said people should worry about life which is more precious than money.
President Mwanawasa is currently admitted in a military hospital in Paris, France after suffering a stroke in Egypt.

Anonymous ulikuti mwana. You are always first and I admire you for that.
Mulongoti, just have the courage to say Katele stop campaigning, not this cowardice approach you are taking.Besides you should start doing the same, in dark corner meetings. i heard that you have ambitions.
tetamashemba is the only honest one.katele is a criminal and shud not be allowed to stand.stop beating about the bush and kam out and say it in public mulongoti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is he talking about coz he is one of them ma rubbish!!!!
Mulongoti, what is wrong with campaigning when you know that LPM will never rule this country again. Even if you was to get better which I doubt, we should ask the man to step aside so that he can live to see his great grand children.
personally i think we have a serious leadership crisis in zambia.i realy dont know who we going to have as our next president.
Anonymous, have the Tongas hammered your wife or what!! anyway ka mulongoti tell us the condition of levy b4 pipo start dishing out players to a patient who’s condition is unknown…nomba ngalifwa mulepepafye ulwisha?
Guys i think the POST newspaper at times loses objectivity in its reporting though at times i must confess they are truthfull. Its this same confidence which makes them go overboard and think that they are most intelligent yet we know that Fred had great difficult completing his degree due to failing in some courses. Viva la vida
Mr minister, thank you very much for accepting and realising what these cohorts/crooks are doing though it is a bit late. Two weeks ago, Ben Tetamashimba announced about this, but you were amoung the first people to condemn him. Are you now supporting what Teta was talking about ? There is more to this than what you have just revealed but the question is, what are you doing about it ?
that is so true.there is no way that LPM will come back in a state to continue as president.that is why MMD should start talking about selecting a new leader.
God help Zambia.we have a crisis in this country
hey anonymous ulipo, we should know how much they are spending on levy and bana chipo since we are the tax payers
#8 no need to drag fred in. The issue is, is LPM there and why should the country come to a stand still and become a nation that prays everyday and yet the physical needs of its pipo aare not been attended to. Imagine LPM not coming, what is going to be our excuse since everything we are all waiting.
N0 8, you are right the boy Mmembe at times loses it. The biggest problem he is good at insulting other pipo and when they hit back he takes it that he is a victim of truth writing yet he actually loses focus. anyway as much as i know he is nopt a paragon of objective reporting.
Yes there is nothing wrong in knowing how much is being spent. We are the people paying and that does not mean we don’t want the president to get the best care money can buy..we do and we want him to come back well. But hey give us the bill..we want to pay..
Let those with Presidential ambitions start campaigning.Who is Mulongoti to tell us which person is corrupt wen yo govt z prosecuting people selectively.
Levy aint coming back to lead,so stop wasting our time
#8 The Post has come a long way now in our Country as the most reliable paper in terms of information provision, and definitely without it we would be starved of most of the current affairs. However, I couldnt agree with you more that indeed sometimes they use the paper to advance their personal vandettas against certain individuals/Organisations, and they use their past objectivity as a shield or reason to give them too much confidence.But they should never think they have the monopoly of knowledge. Personally I have started reading between the lines before I take whatever they say as a gospel truth.
Katele is corrupt and not fit for office
mulongoti u are one of them..***** who r u fooling!..
Mike the fact that You are not exposed does not make you corruption free. Do you want pipo to start quesitioning the assending to authorities of Judges by some of your relatives for you to know that pipo see.Are just as the ones you say are corrupt.
hehee, when the cat is away, the rats play.
how stable now?
Guys your comments about the post are 100% correct. The newspaper has been used to insult other people mostly SATA and HH. I like HH,s statement in today’s paper. In 2006, the post really campaigned to have Mwanawasa re-elected and they succeeded at that, but they cant be telling us who or who we shud not vote for. By the way does the post still dig deeper as they claim?
Report them to the ACC and police if you know that they are thieves.if you don’t have the facts and have failed to proove the alleged theives guilty then better off shutting your mouth than making a foul of yourselves. you have been calling people theives from 2002 and still can’t lock them up.shame on you and you have disappointed us.Personally i feel you had a share in those theft, that why you fail to lock these people up.
Mulongoti, pretending to be corrupt free doesn’t make u any better than the rest. By the way Zambians, Levey is coming back to continue his work, don’t start making plans as if u are God. It’s more like making funeral arrangements when one is still alive
Guys i wonder what Mike was doing at church. Praying for LPM? Zambia will mark a month tomorow without a president. A nation of about 12 million pipo without the shepard? does he know that one day pipo will want the truth to be known? this is a time bomb and its ticking. He should let those pipo that are campaigning go ahead. They say the some sun that melts the wax hardens the clay. why cant he name the culprits? Teta named Katele and Katele named Teta. so why the secrecy? he should thank God the we are a peace loving nation and have patience but when pushed to the wall we do react.
Mulongoti since when did dishing out money by MMD cease to ensure that one is elected in Zambia?
Chiluba did the same for Mwanawasa and the practise has continued to date. If you can’t beat them join them Mulongoti, this is the MMD way. And all you have to blame is Mwanawasa and yourselves for removing the Vice Presidency in your party. You are going down like UNIP if you don’t identify a suitable, real leader very soon ba MMD.
Quiz time !
Who should take the bull by it’s horns and handle the LPM issue since the gov’t is stalling ?
a. Parliament
b. LAZ
c. UNZASU
d. all of the above
#27 ans to quiz… ans is (a) NOT UNZASU coz you behave childish when solving problems by stoning inncent pipo..
Katele has not yet been found guilty and thus no one should attepmt to stop him-he still have has full rights.
Levy has alot of relatives-hall the cabinet are his relatives, what is your comment on levy`s nepotism?
KA-KA wesu-bikapo yewe-he is kaming and will not be stopped.
If katele is voted for in MMD, so be it, let him stand on MMD ticket and race with the Satas and H.Hs of this world, remember democracy is quantitative not qualitative.
#27 e. none of the above.
hmm…. thats more stable.
# 27 ha ha ha ha wanisekesa….MMD is in the fore front when it comes to handing out money i remember FTJ had a fund called slash fund in the country budget the just ended milanzi by elections MMD gave out k20,00 and a tin of maize to the pipo later on they fed them for a day. what the hell is mike talking about.
No 27-none of the organisations you have mentioned the LPM issuebecoz of the follwoing:
UNZASU-childish, immature, lack of reasong, etc\
LAZ-they are levy`s friends-in the past LAZ made a name bcoz they were enemies to FTJ, one month gone-LAZ has failed to give us confort over levy`s illness from the legal point of view
Parliament-more than a quarter are relatives to levy-thus very unindependent
Under instances of management crisis like what is obtaining now in zambia,people make use of every opportunity that arises.even in our normal daily happenings,we say that one man’s meat is another man’s poison:one man’s misfortune is a blessing to another man.MMD is full of chancers and desparate faces at the same time.others in the same party feel the illness has opened a door for them to be leaders while others feel its risk time because they are likely to start going hungry might there be the case that the appointing hand is declared unfit by the unfolding conditionalities now.i teel you there is panic,fear and expectations at the same time.isnt mulongoti a chancer?pls bro start also.
#27,parliament only.unzasu-childish,emotional and av issues wth LPM(BC),laz-just needed to advise.
The best we can do is hope for the best, name calling or finger pointing aint Working,the question of money is better done later especially where the turn of events is good,Yes some people are rejoicing at the state of events but God ll judge in time, it is written in the word that no one should rejoice at someones down fall regardless of what he has done or God himself may flip the script on you,as the saying goes who the cap fit let them wear it and May HE WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE.This issue is sensitive lets not bring Childs play into play..
MMD is very corrupt…when are these guys going to leave office..it seems no party seems serious to take Zambia forward..PF has not held a convention to be a party of all people, HH party has no policy substance..when are we getting a real political parties,,,MMD is about personal ambitions..look at how they are fighting for Levy Position even though MMD has nothing new to offer to the people of Zambia..this MMD is finished and the hour is totally gone!!
#27, Lets not rule out UNZASU completely. Worldwide students have been known to advocate for positive change where nations were in a crisis. I agree sometimes our students resort to unruly means of archieving their demands, but sometimes when there is a crisis and noone seems to have the courage to grab the bull,students have often rose to the occasion. Remember the 1991 political change in Zambia? and the third term?
zambians wake up and face the truth, what is better to be ruled by a president that is almost dead,iwould rather have a president that is corrupt. Mulongoti be brave and tell Katele to stop campagning. unfortunately democracy is just about numbers,and thats what you are fearing, no one has the controll of the party as Katele. Sondashi, Mulongoti, shikapwasha Ngondo have all hinted at standing why is Katele who has not even announced being a factor. as JK puts it ifintu fyonse fikapita but Icebo(katele) chikeminina(akateka)
the comments about the post are very malicious.thats the best paper we have in the country,without it we would still have chiluba and his third term, there would be no fight against corruption and we would not have free and fair elections. lets be honest with ourselves!!!
does anyone remember katete’s “now you see me now you dont’ stant… remember? be cautious….Luapula. wapya ndoondo!!!
zed is clocking one month without LMP and the updates are coming in from everyone … Veep take charge and dont allow any jim and jack including mulongoti to issue statments that might backfire on government… Pressure is monting and people want to know the truth about STABLE
Ya ba,
Hoova-you should be ashamed of your analysis
2006-the post have not questioned the elections yet when you look back, they made noise that chiluba rigged in 1996.
Chiluba may have not performed well but only a fool can believe that chiluba rigged elections in 1996, sorry to say taht the post believed that FTJ won in 1996.
in 2001, they questioned MMD`s victory, in 2006, bcoz they didnt want sata to win, they have not questioned levy`s victory to date.
You give them medals-my foot.
The Post, Nchito brothers are perishing together with the president
# sweetness my dear,you have hit the nail on the head what is worrying is the silence. Zambians are so docile how long can we wait for the president to return?
By the way who updates the state hse web site? is it done in France or Lusaka? Mulongoti just leave pipo to campaign, if you have got enough evidence why not report those pipo to the ACC?
LPM is never gonna rule zambia again the sooner you locals get that sunk in your heads the better for the country. This is a first in history where a nation is ruled by a man in a coma.Zambians wake up bane dont bury your heads in the sand, Levy has trully become a cabbagge so the best you can do is get some one else to rule the country.
out of curiosity did mbeki visit LPM while he was in France? to see for himself wether levy is dead or not
# 43 careless people should begin to know that time is running out and they need to jack up their standards.
katete is a threat and mulongoti.. quote me right not a threat as the best leader but because of the stant..man made laptop!! hehe…
Please Mulongoti be wise to even talk about him he can see you on his lapto!!! God bless this nation..
THE WAY BLOGGERS RESENT AND DESPISE MULONGOTI,SHOULD BE A WAKE UP CALL FOR THIS AUTO PILOTED GOVT. LPM DID HIS BEST BUT THERE IS NOTHING ONE CAN DO TO REVERSE THE TREND THAT THINGS HAVE TAKEN ON OUR POLITICAL SCENE.I MEAN TETA BRAVED THE STORM BY REVEALING THE CRISES IN MMD AND THEY CALLED HIM NAMES(THOUGH I DONT LIKE HIM). BUT TODAY COWARDS LIKE MIKE WANT TO TELL US WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW,OJUKWU FORBID.NJOBVU KAZI PLEASE COMMENT.
has amyone realised that the state house website updates on LPM have stopped???
There is nothing wrong with a newspaper paper supporting a candidate, the New York Times endorsed Hilary Clinton ahead of Obama. I don’t believe a paper can 100% swing a vote, I don’t think Levy won because the Post of supporting him, I mean how many people in rural areas read the Post? Levy did not even win in Lusaka and CB where the Post is widely read.
Mulongoti wants to come out a though he is very honest, we see you in the show grounds chasing Skirts at ZIBC you chap just shut your smelling mouth
when the cat is away,them rats will plado all over.If so,the damage has always been done.Tell the nation the truth about LPM´s status.High tym that these radom politriticks men and women left and have people with a heart for the nation.Probe them corrupt guys you talking about
Mr Minister stay on course of Governance. please leave the dirty to dockets that has always prevailed to sanitize society and power structures of bad eggs.This is not the first time in Zambian history that criminals have hoped to outmanuveur their way in power politics.From UNIP days we checkmated and summarized many heavy weights and history forgot it all. Thus far none is heavy weight beyond sanitization.Somethings are beyond you a mere politician.Be assured that the Politicians Plus camp have it all in control.Be still plunders have nothing here.Zambians have too many tools to bud out what they abhor.
CHINSALI MP.WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST THE NCHITO BROTHERS?
The fact is Levy is in a coma .Are we waiting for him to be in a FULLSTOP in order to starts campaigning ?
#53 Active Eyes kick the habit, drugs are for mugs!!!
Can somebody tell me Mabenga says there is no crisis & M Mulongiti gives another story
The funny thing is that Mulongoti’s comments are helping us understand that levy’s illness is indeed verry very critical assuming he is still alive.
HEY Sorry guys! I am chocked because i compare what mulongoti is doing to what some mentioned church is said to be practising also.pretending to be holy including even writing on walls all over lusaka about their day of worship and its holiness yet adulterous behaviour,fornication and prostitution is what they are hiding.mulongoti also isnt displaying the truth when he comes out like that.he knows deep down his heart that he is also seeking a position secretely only that he doesnt know the approach to use.he wants to shut up others systematically so that an open space is cleared for him to do his thing.come on my bro in the open.
To all those I have offended am sorry. I suffer from an inferiority complex, I hurt being around successful people especially if they belong to another tribe I hurt to see that. I have nothing to do but check the internet every 15 minutes and post my silly narrow minded comments.
Between 1972 and 1998 Zambia had many self deluded dreamers who beliewved they outmanuever the citizenry. But silent natural selection tools cofined them one at a time where they belonged.The network of plunders has no safe haven not even in shirubs of laptops.This world is serious and unforgiving to acts that have records of costing thousands jobless, early death, prostitution and social injustices.
Good annonymous!#60.
We petitioned our cries to GOD that LP should live and rule and he answered. Levy is the testmony that the power of GOD prevails. Yo’ll will little Faith thot the boat was doing to sink and didn’t realist jesus was in it to calm that storm. He is coming, Mulongoti, you teta and Thieves. Brace your self for his coming!!
pray that God forgives you annonymous you have managed to hurt well meaning people, i for one gat nuthin on you, just need to change ur approach on things. tonga bull is my trade mark
LPM is not going to make it to plot one anymore.
Mulongoti should be open enough and let people with hidden ambitions come out and open up publicly.
I really wonder why this Govt looks and acts cowardly and on the other hand they proclaim they are managing without LPM! Lets face facts, LPM may be on life support, will that help him govern- when and if he returns to Zambia? Its a month now with out a President face up and let the succession machinery start moving. I am also curious that stathouse updates have now stopped! They are also as tired of updating as we are of reading ridiculous nonesense- Ki ma rubbish!
Bring him back and put him church and continue praying for him, he will not last a minute, give gratitude to the learned doctors in France too you people!
# 8, i cldnt agree with you any more. Fred Mmembe and his Post have become petty.HH has done well to expose there hatred for him and his party. I have seen with sadness the way HH and UPND have surfured in the hands of Freed and Post. journalist must be careful with way the treat citizens and the way the disemminate infor to the public. Objectivity is what am talking about. The post and Mmembe shld be ashamed of themselves for the way they have been running there newspaper.I have even stopped buying it because its too petty. What they dont know is that they are making HH more popular.
# 42 CHINSALI MP is the biggest tribalist on this blog. His analysis is sotribal, shallow and childish.
Mr Editor,
Where is my posting?
gentlemen this issue of who should take over from lpm is quiet
over due, so let those who want to up the position the true, even this guy ” mike mulongoti ” has great interest in the
presidential position so is everyone in MMD. maureen inclusive.
#70 Did you include any bad words? If that is the case , your comments will be filtered out.
Maureen for President! I think it’s the right time for her to continue her campaign for State House if she truely believed that she had the clout or is it a wrong time because the machinery that was backing her has clogged?
LPM is unlikely to be in a fit state for office after his current health problems.It makes sense for honest debate about the future to take place now rather than procrastinate.As the late SMK used to say” children will come ,children will die ,women will come,women will die,men will come, men will die,but Zambia will never die”.It is time to move forward.
ka Mmembe Kalitumpa. He is the same person who wished Mazoka dead. He is such a coward and all those little people who work for him think they have to keep licking his ass in order to survive. But his day is coming. The Post used to dig deeper then, when Fred was not running the show and when proper journalists, most of whom have left or died wre running the show. Fred is just a bully and a coward. Well now we have blogs where we can also write our opinions about him. Coward!
when we speak the truth ,we are accused of being corrupt.what a shame,mike..
I’ glad to see people are beginning to see through all the gimmicks by these clueless leaders (and may I add pastors!). What’s wrong with planning for an eventuality. Mwanawasa has been praised for doing some good things but do we want to sink as a country while waiting for hi to get well. Sata was right about assessing the prognosis so that we can begin to prepare as a country. We don’t want to panic when the inevitable is announced. Shibukeni mwe bantu!
#29 ITS BECAUSE HE THREATENED THE LPM WITH HIS JUJU SO DID HIS FATHER. THEREFORE BWANA MP FOR CHISALI BECAREFUL WITH WHAT YOU
SAY. MAY BE YOU WANT A POSITION IF Katele takes the Nation into withcraft.
What a leadership we have today. The process is simple, if you smell corruption, report it to the appropriate authorities for action. If you got no facts or proof to support a claim, don’t speculate. We should all try by all means to apply fusion of intelligence by coordinating the five human senses to derive reasonable conclusions. In this case, LT is wasting time publishing an article which falls short of mentioning who the corruption culprits are other than speculation. Those that have been pursued for corruption, we already know. Now we need to know the new ones so that we can blog about them.
#68 and many others who have comment on the non-objectiveness of the POST over HH and the UPND are right. I’m on record somewhere on here (LT) as having made mentioned that the POSt is not objective in the way i portrays HH and the UPND.
Whatever Mr Fred M’membe has against the UPND in general and HH in particular I do not understand. Even when HH says something very clear, it is always twisted to look bad by the POST. THis is very very sad. But I advise HH and all of us not to worry, because the POST is just opne entity that will make HH more popular by spreading falsehoods on him.
Have a good day you all Zambians.
Mulongoti is a hypocrite, he didn’t want to admit that there is leadship scrumble in MMD.
some of these churches Mulongoti went to is from where?? isn’t it funny how many churches seem to spring up during times like this?I have never heard of this church championing poverty alleviation related projects…it seems when a political issue arises all the “churches” come out of the woodwork!!the same goes for heavily politicised constitutional debates and presidential elections….you can count on these “obscure” churches to surface with hard hitting comments and opinions….its quite hilarious actually!!
Katele was seen usually in the company of Katumbi during the mutomboko ceremony. Watch out he would use this dangerous man to come to state house through ballot or bullet. Be alert, I m warning u.
We need a new crop of leaders. It seems Mwanawasa was the only person with any credibility keeping this dis-integrating group of dull chaps together. There is no one to talk of amongst the MMD group as a possible successor (kneeling Mpombo, dull Teta, or thieving Katele). We need serious help.
The Post is like FOX News. Total political hackers who don’t care what says or does. They always have any agenda to forward. The best thing to do is hit them hard were it hurts. Pocket book. Stop buying that paper and those abroad, stop wasting your hard earned dollar on subscribing with such unjournalistic tabloids. The Post stopped digging deeper when they started towing some political agenda set by some guys hiding in Meembe.
I meant “what one says”.
Someone is buying time and confused.
Mmembe and his post really hate HH we know this from 2006 and thank God their hatred will end up in hell we are watching! viva HH
Shut yo ugly mouth M’longt. Is Levy an emperor? read the constitution and tell us what it says about a Prez bedridden! Get real mothaf**ker. Sorry, but it is what it is.
Its over, asslicker!
Webo Mulongoti batwale ku cilye ca milandu.
BLOOD SUCKERS ARE WHAT MOST ZAMBIAN POLITICIANS ARE .
I hope you are innocent enough for you to say others are corrupt
Miss Pretty, Levy is on a life support machine. I know this for a fact, but the govt will NEVER say this to its citizen. And you must know the concequences of being on this machine.Again you must remember how grave it is for a person to be in ICU for nearly a month. i rest my case!
Can Mulongoti explain how he turned a former government property into his Guest house. Where Ministers entitled to purchase Govt property. This was corruption. Why evict a civil worker from a House then allocate it to a Minister only to buy it and then give the minister another govt house. Corruption is corruption regardless of which side a person is.
It is said by many a great writer….every nation deserves its leaders!
Unless we sit up, we will continue to live like with politicians who have certificates for qualifications.
Very interesting comments here once again. I enjoyed #25 Miss Pipo’s analysis and #27 Bungwe’s quiz. I wonder if #60 Anonymous’ confession is genuine? If so, much respect because very few people admit their faults, especially having an inferiority complex. I hope we all learn from him.
Just more MMD FLATULENCE.It smells.How long we will we put up with this.
Lesa fye walasa i know u
#27, Bungwe
The consititon must prevail. UNZASU, LAZ and parliament do not have any consitional mandate in all this. Even if you are blind to the consitution, at least on this forum you have learnt a lot about articles 34-37, unless you are new to the forum. Come on man. get serious. I will not bore the rest of the bloggers here by posting things that have been posted over and over agin about who needs to do what in this situ.
“The day before yesterday, I was speaking to the First Lady, Mrs Maureen Mwanawasa, I asked her how the President was, her voice was so bright, she said the President was doing very well,” Gen Shikapwasha said.
Wait and see lawyer wama lawyer is coming back and the corrupt devils will not have a way!!!!
Some fools on this blog calling themselves chinsali MP will be ashamed when LPM comes back. Tribalism will not take you anywhere *****!!!!
Bloggers, I have just posted #99. The site will automatically put “Anonymous” if you do not put a name, I have just found this out by accident, after I clicked “Submit” with the name field blank.
LT – please look into this so.
just try #99.
The post is anti- opposition parties. In 2006, before the final results of the general elections, Levy was pronounced a winner, Sata and HH are victims of bias reporting by the post. If the govt fails to tell the pipo the truth about Levy’s illness and something bad happens do they know that Zambians will not forgive them. If levy is improving why Dr chitubo still in France or why can’t they show him? But let the pipo in govt feed us with lies and will feed them with a kill out of ministerial and parliamenterian positions coz they are liars who look for lies before 6AM,
Welcome to this knowledge #101. I have always written on here that anonymous may not be one person, but many persons who are using their blog-name appear as anonymous.
Its such a pity that we are not getting the truth out of our Govt and that they are happy to continue without a President for over a month. Someone somewhere is benefitting from this uncertainty and it can only be the family tree busy mopping up.
Eya
Good night all
How did HH make his money. The post has actually spared him!
ViVa Miyanda!!
#106. Iwe musa. Nchinzi cakushupa sena?
Bloggers, some unprincipled character has infiltrated LT using my blog user-name. This is the second topic he/she is misbehaving. Please take note that This is the real hhehhehhehhe and I distance myself from the posting in #106.
“But Mr. Mulongoti says thieves and corrupt people will never rule Zambia because it is a Christian nation”.
Rubbish! Why do people hide in the name CHRISTIAN?
Iwe Mulongoti if we investaigated you we would find that you are just one of the many corrupt *****s in Zambia. Shut up fool! You girl pants.
The post has the highest educated non-educated Journalists in Zambia. Most of the journalists at the post hold atleast a university degree. No wonder the Journalistic ethics are questionable.
Mbuzi kagone, go to google and find how HH made his money, you think the likes of Sata would have spared him if he was tainted. Anyhow, Mulongoti can as well just call it by name the way Teta did and where were they when Chiluba was dishing out brown envelopes in his 3rd term bid, why do they want to behave like this is something new in MMD? This is a case of old wine in new bottles Mulongoti, you have a long way to go MMD
How are we going to know you are the real one. You are the fake one.
#111, actually when you read the editorial that people think HH was spared I found it very partisan and not down to answer the questions HH raised, they did not address themselves to how HH and his party have not engaged with the Government after HH explained to them how the Government works, they did not address themselves to the fact that HH was against the Medical board that Sata had called for, the post indeed has questionable ethics and will not stop at anything to praise their preferred candidate (Miyanda and/or Sakwiba) this is there for all to see, and they think we are blind. Stage managed attacking of Sata by the post is something we have gotten used to.
sub standard blogging
#113, such games are not nice. You know too well that you can be traced using your IP address, but I do not have time to pursue disgruntled personalities who fail to identify themselves with what they are really made of. A simple way of knowing the real me is in the construction of the English
Language, my use of Tonga, Lozi, Nyanja, Shona, Xhosa and rare use of Bemba. Also attacks on liars and unobjective instituitons like the POST. #108, that is a very good question. The POST obviously has no data on how HH made his money. Let them (POST NEWSPAPER) dig deeper and provide us with details on how HH made his money instead of them insulting him out of nothing.
below average blogging from most of you.
“The POST obviously has no data on how HH made his money. Let them (POST NEWSPAPER) dig deeper and provide us with details on how HH made his money instead of them insulting him out of nothing.” Precisely, their hate for him have reached pathological levels, where as when Sata was pulling votes in 2006, they were full of praise of how early campaigning made him a factor in 2006 since he had started campaigning in 2001 after the elections, HH does the same after 2006 they find a problem with it, I think the Post much as it is a respectable paper, they might find themselves intangled, they apply double standards which is very unfortunate.
#117 opo mwambile naka “below average blogging” ndiye chizungu cheka chamene muziba
#99 You missed the point. Somebody should invoke the consititon.
A month on without a President thus a laudable achievement dear Zedians,cannot happen anywhere in Africa,another month or two we will be in the Guiness book,may be before we wake up?just cannot fathom it.Mulongoti must expect what is happening its of their making.Mind you if a crisis cannot be controlled by instruments properly put in place,it will no longer be up to Mulongoti,RB,Maureen or Katele.Real power lies in the people and they will soon dictate,we are slowly getting fade up with the in fighting.MMD is not Zambia leaders must always remember,they should not get puffed up with temporal power.Zedians remain peaceful,use your power deligently to weed out the corrupt.
True #118. I have reached a level on not wanting to buy the POST NEWSPAPER anymore, like one of the bloggers has mentioned somewhere on here – LT, because their news is carefully managed propaganda bent on misleading the Zambian people.
The POST is no record having tried to advance BEMBA as a National Language citing unnecessary backing on the subject and fueling an unnecessary debate on ‘Bemba as a National Language’.
In fact, it now appears like the POST is a tribal newspaper epitomising TRAIBALISM in the country. What a shame although they can change before it is too late.
#114. Pushi wa Mabisi- At the end of the day people decide who they want. HH balming the post for being biased is very lame excuse. He has started a war he cannot win.He he has opened the door for the post to sort him out.
Miyanda is more mature than all these chaps and has expereince. His only issue is that his ass is broke ! I hope people with money can help him run a good campain.
Namu gona sono!!
The original “Maestro Hhehhehhehhe” I encourage you to change your blog name to something else. It appears this ***** is determined to disturb you. Can you imagine that you are no longer concentrating much on the topic because of him/her. Your quality contribution will still be noticed even under a different name. You cannot go on to argue with a fool.
Report them to ACC or shut the hell up,simple.Next topic please!
#123, let the POST try HH and will see how they will end up making him the most popular Republican presidential aspirant with their petty accusations and whatever your call “sort him out”.
The POST is very welcome. Remember how they almost made Hon. Sata to win the 2006 Presidential elections. It will be difficulty for them to stop HH for he is clean to this day. Otherwise, the MMD through GRZ would have already brought HH to size if ever there was something miscellaneous about him.
“Let us wait and see” – D. Liwewe.
Oi!
HH said something against the medical board but he failed to explain why with regard to the constitution,he instead attacked Sata. He seemed to have a personal vendetta linked to his analysis. Miyanda explained the reasons against the board very well without attacking HH nor Sata for their views, hes analysis was very patriotic and sober.
Thanks for the concern Abena Copperbelt. Your input on this has a serious telling effect. I will consider your suggestions very carefully and implement a sound decision that will help me continue to providing useful arguments on here.
Iwe ka fake Maestro Hhehhehhehhe we don`t come here to argue.
Abena Copperbelt what did you say? Look I respected you, now this?
#128, while your contribution makes sense, I still believe that if HH affirmed Hon. Sata’s medical board we would have been at a different level today as Zambia. You probably know very well that Hon Sata commands alot of support from people of humble or no-class-room education at all and that HH has reasonable support across the country. And so, if HH went along with Hon. Sata’s plans, there would have been anarchy by now in the country. To this end, HH had to bring down whatever dark schemes Hon Sata and others were fueling so that the Nation remains STABLE. Hence HH’s attack on Hon. Sata was well placed to counter all ill-ulterior-motives on the Zambian Presidency.
#128. Great Point. Miyanda hit the nail on the head and exposed HH- his constant attacks on Sata instead of the issues at hand. We are seeing it right here Mcain was whinning about Obamas trip to Europe instead of focusing on real issues.

What an Ugly language!! Stinks
#134 Good cntrubutio but ||I wish I could get what you mean…
#135, if you don’t understand a language you don’t brand it stink. Do you see how foolish you look now. Compare your comments to a sensible blogger # 136.
Thank you very much #136. It is not something much accept that I am basically writing, “please live/stay well”.
I stumbled on this info by accident, makes impessive reading aHakainde Sammy Hichilema was born in 1962 and educated in the United Kingdom and Zambia. Since 1998, he has been the Chief Executive Officer of Grant Thornton Limited.
Mr Hichilema is currently a director of the following companies:
Barclays Bank (Zambia) plc, Sun International (Zambia) Ltd, Media Trust Fund, Export Development
Programme II, SEEDCO (Zambia) Ltd, Zambia Investment Board, Greenbelt Fertilizers Ltd, Midlands
Car Hire Ltd, Mint Master (Zambia) Ltd, African Life Financial Services (Zambia) Ltd, Menel
Management Services Ltd, Agro Support Ltd, Westlake Investments Ltd, Savanna Com Ltd, CR
Kapenta Ltd and Farmnet

Nice contribution #137. #135, please learn to co-exist with others. It would be great also if you can learn more Zambian Languages so that you can use your eye-sight and hearing senses instead f your noise-smelling sense always.
Have a pleasna a pleasant day though.
in #141 … “pleasna” must read “pleasant”.
This touch-typing, I am normally in trouble.
cont from 139.
Other companies he is a director for are :
African Trade Insurance, MR Nickel Ltd and Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines (Smelterco) Ltd.
Also in #141 … ” instead f your noise-smelling sense always” must read “instead of your nose-smelling sense always”.
Interest reading #139 and #144.
That is a rare CV for a young man like HH, #143. What is the source of your HH data?
Please share, may be I too can learn one or two things from there. Who knows?
There is no crisis in Zambia
The knives are out, and the conspirators are dancing around each other with power-crazed antagonism and isn’t wonderful to be a witness to this great piece of our country’s history playing out right before our very own eyes? Countrymen and women, the self-destruction of the MMD is now truly in high gear!! Take your front seats and watch as Mulongoti, Katele Kalumba, Mpombo, Tetamashimba etc vie for Maureen’s attention as the “blue-eyed boys” who should succeed Levy! Thank God the Zambian people have a different plan come 2011; most likely even before 2011! You ain’t foolin’ nobody Mulongoti.
You bet the chaps who are pasting the CV for Hakainde on this site are his fellow stinking Tonga tribal bigots. I do not give a damn how many companies the fool is director for, it can be a million including the Bantu Botatwe Tribal Conglomerate PLC. As far as I am concerned, he is a stinking tribal skunk who education, be it in UK or Mapatizya etc, has done nothing to unweld him from his stiking tribal stench. See Mugabe and Mbeki too have degrees from the UK but their politics is rotten to the very core: If Tongas want this man for their leader, let them annoint him Paramount Chief HH for Tongas, Luundas too are annointinng theirs, `Abrah Kadabrah disappearing` Katele.
#141. You are right . I think it is this Mr know it all Mwiinga. He thinks his samrt but I know he uses other aliases. Where did HH get the moey to be a share holder in so many companies?
I meant # 149
#137. you are foolish. The man says he could not understand what the posting meant and you commend him. How can you say his posting is sensible when he is being sacarstic? Nonsense!!
people pray that GOD will send you a leader
Amen!!!
ITS EXACTLY ONE MONTH SINCE WE HAD A PRESIDENT IN STATE HOUSE. WAY FORWARD?
Levy’s illness has shown us how ill prepared we are for change as a nation. Fact is, Levy is seriously ill & we wish him well but our foolish Govt leaders wud rather spend time in countless ‘prayer meetings’! Honestly, this is not what taxpayers pay Mulongoti to do? This Govt lacks ball$$ and until they show some courage, this will be the beginning of their end. I have no malice but let’s be real, Levy’s stroke was major and he will unlikely recover to resume his duties. As a country, we now need to look at the alternative scenario instead of sinking our big heads in the sand…!
#149 Can you please spare your language for other occasions. Everyone knows how to insult but its irrelevant to logical people esp. on a site like this. I hate people who like generalising. I am Tonga but I have no warrant to insult other tribes as a whole just because of one person I have differed with. Take care.
#149 “If Tongas want this man for their leader, let them annoint him Paramount Chief HH for Tonga”. This is the kind of language i don’t believe in. Keep it to yourself please.
Levy Mwanawasa´s situation is now making Zambia look like a muppet circus and if we are not careful, it came plunge this country into total chaos. For some people like Mpombo, they would never admit the man is a gonna. As for the vice president, his predicament of not qualifying is even worse. Katele can try to move around but he is outside cabinet and cannot therefore land the top one, what more with all the faeces smell stinking all around the Katangese? the only way is for the Chief Justice to take over but even him is so scared of Levy´s rabid dogs calling him power hungry. This is agony sure. Soon some people will odain Levy the eternal leader of Zambia.
#152, can you put up the interpretation of the words and show the sarcasm you are acusing me of, please?
Well, if HH wants to aspire for the post of president of this country, he is fair game to me. Besides, I am keeping it to HH and myself and do not give a damn whether any citizens out there are Concerned or not. Besides, how do I know this is a genuine concerned citizen or maybe just a stinking Mzambezi coward scampering from the blows of a dry 84 years old Sekuru Mugabe abd just trying to seek shelter in HH´s village kantemba masquarading as a Zambian Aaron Milner style? Magoregore, mwatusabila pe imyebo be suntwe. The era of fielding basuntwe for president ended with KK who incidetally supports HH.
#160 Well, I tried to show my maturity, and respect to you but to no avail, then to hell with you. Don’t indulge me in your sarcastic language you mangroo.
Chaps, pls stick to the topic @ hand. HH & Fred Mmembe have nothing to do with this particular blog post? I know some of u itch to campaign for your ‘preferred’ candidates but sorry to burst your bubble, this is an inappropriate forum. The ‘enlightened’ web enabled readership of LT have no clout to sway any election. Fact is, the illiterate masses hold the real electoral power which means that a bloke like Sata stands a better chance than your white collar boy HH! Accept that & move on pls…

#159. You were praising #136. Think. “Good contribution but I wish I know what you mean”. How can he praise the contribution when he does not understand what you wrote. Even a koswe can figure this one out!!

To all those who think, dream and aspire that HH becomes the president of this nation, i really feel sorry for you. Most of us zambians other than tongas know how this tribe (tongas) can be tribalistic. If a tonga police nabs a tonga then the person goes scot free. If a tonga headmaster meets a tonga parent looking for a place for his/her child then the child gets a place. The list of crimes is endless. So let it sink in your little minds that a tonga for a president then the rest of zambia apart from southern province will be in tatters. So we shall never allow a tonga to rule. Better a Kaluvale, Lamba, Chewa, Nsenga, Mbunda. But never never a tonga please.
since you have diverted from the topic as is typical of you zambians, i might as well as share with you what happened in portsmouth when your mbesuma was there. he went into a bar took and sat on stool. he wasnt sure how to go about ordering a drink so he waited for the other two guys on his left so he would copy what they would say. one said, Jack Daniels, single, the other said, John Walker, single. and when the bar man looked at mbesuma for his order, he went “Collins Mbesuma,” married. ala mwandi it wasnt funny!
Number 11, which crisis are you talking about? Do you live in Zambia, I’d rather have Levy rule us on a stretcher than live this country at the mercy of hyenas and opportunitists, we only have one Zambia for ourselves.
To all the Tongas, Hold your fire, just changed ,my thinking. we are a country of over 12 million, my comments above are foolish, we are all zambians and each of the 12 million zambians has a right to gorvern. It just dawned on me that more than 75 per cent of Sata’s MP are either from LP or Northern province and yet no one ponits a finger at him as tribalist, look at followers of Nevers Mumba, Dan Pule or Ben Mwila, I now support one Zambia one Nation.
Looking at all the insults going around, we should not have either a bemba or Tonga president because it will be trouble – another Rwanda!!!
Mwinga – it seems you are in love with Sata. The last one week, you never blog without mention of Sata. if u are woman, Sata has a wife, if you a man, Sata is not homosexual. Leave him out, he will never become president. By you mentioning him, you are making him popular. Whats wrong with you
#169. it good that you have become enlightened
oklets be real even tho chilubas ministers were corrupt they was smart and intellignt …these ministers lm has ard very dull!…….
imwe mafela , ine ka masturbation ndi addicted. Ubwamba bulekalipa

looking atthe time you post your comments worries me. do you really sleep? you need to have enough sleep bane. 12 am to 6am what time do you sleep. You would make good wizards and socerers…good nadabwa…if you could all study or work upto that time you would all have PHDs or our country would have been well developed.
Some people from certain tribes always drag this blog into a boring tribal blog. Some of us from other Zambian regions always feel irritated whenever we log in.Tongas and Bembas should know that Zambia has 73 dialects. If we all begin blogging in our languages, there will be misunderstanding online. Lets try not to be selfish and sarcastic.
Fred m’membe, many other media owners, the Nchito brothers, and many other powerful people have a say on who becomes leader of any political party. You like it or not they will need to shape the direction of this situation we in. Some of them are surely not happy with the way LPM goverment run and blocked their business intrests. They will look at removing some people from goverment this time around. They will use their power and money. Thats a fact!! Watch this space.
Ba 155 muli right!!!
Ba 155 muli right!!!
mulongoti ni kwindi, can u trust a rat?
mulongoti is a rat, do u trust such?
what zambians need is truth. whats the truth, that LPM aint comming back, and there is urgent need to identify who takes over the ship as captain. the first family needs to move on and live quietly as before. zambia cannot be allowed to drift aimlessly while silent plunnder is happening. if its PF, HH, or MMD, lets find a new captain
…
name names guys.. dont beat about the bush. who is pushing for take over? elo dont you think we need to start talking about such? given we all wish LPM well and want hiom to recover, but life, and Zed must continue.. guys we need a president. we have no idea how long LPM will be in ICU for, nor any idea of the extent of his condition.. its obvious he wont be capable to lead once back so lets think of life post-LPMs presidency
Mulongoti should tell us how he acquired the Executive Lodge in Kabulonga, and who owns the building housing the Task Force on Corruption in Woodlands?
What about Mutembo Nchito, .. there seems to some connection with the plunderers and the cases he is pursing together with Levy. Nchito is working on behalf of Levy in the new deal way of plundering of resources. Thats why HH is not happy with the current turn of events. He has been left out of the deal.
Lawyers have taken center stage in plundering.
Miss Pipo #175, take a chill pill pls. The time shown on LT blogs is Zambian time, which means that bloggers in the diaspora & different time zones will always appear like they blog 24/7, duh! I find it irritating that bloggers like yourself have the nerve to question fellow bloggers’ productivity & use of time! What the hell r u doing here if you’re so busy doing more productive things? log off, get a life and stop exposing your shallow mindedness…
Kuti wabala walasekafye!
Does anyone have any other prayer requests apart from this SPECIAL PRAYERS FOR THE PRESIDENT? There are people starving in Zambia;there are street children who need shelter and food; women in abusive marriages who can never speak out for fear of being thrown out; someone is dying of AIDS and asking God to give them more time so that they can look after their young;Someone is struggling to make sure their family has at least one meal a day…Of course I care that the pres is sick but I also care for all these people who have no one to help,no state fund to give them the best medical care…For me ALL life is precious and it does not matter who they are in society.
#175, do not worry much about how we work. We are definately securing Higher degrees for the Nation so that together with all Zambians we can take the development in our country to a better level.
#188, thw two UNZA students who were shot by our Police have to be prayed for. We haven’t heard anything about their healthy status except that HH moved them from some normal ward at the UTH to a High Cost one.
Lets us remember them so that they can be fully healed too and continue with their strudies at the university. Their individaul families need prayers also in this time of trouble as they obviuosly never thought that sending the children to UNZA will be fatal in the sense that they will be shot – sadly by the Zambia Policemen who are supposed to protect them.
If these politicians care they should concentrate on improving the lifestyle of people who voted them into power unless they were just fingerpicked.
I am not for the idea that Sata becomes pres but these politicians need to learn something from him. Every ministry he held improved.In my opinion you always learn something from someone…sometimes not to be like them.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT PEOPLE:ITS A MONTH TODAY SINCE LEVY FELL GRAVELY ILL,HOW LONG ARE WE AS CITIZENS GOING TO SIT ON OUR HANDS AND WAIT FOR FATE TO TAKE ITS COURSE.CAN SOMEONE TELL ME OF ONE SANE COUNTRY THE WORLD OVER THAT HAS FUNCTIONED THIS LONG WITHOUT A PRESIDENT OR ONE ACTING AS SUCH? ZAMBIA BEING MADE OF TRIBES THAT RAN AWAY FROM WARS(LUBA AND ZULU KINGDOMS),ONE UNDERSTANDS WHY WE ARE A BUNCH OF TALKING COWARDS.CAN JUST ONE MP MOVE A MOTION THAT WE BE TOLD THE NAKED TRUTH ABOUT OUR PRESIDENT,BY DOCTORS ATTENDING TO HIM? NO ONE HAS THOSE GUTS BACK THERE AT HOME,BALETUSEKA KUNO KUTALI.
Please people, this is not a blog about Tongas and Bembas. Let us stick to the subject matter before us. In case some of you have not read the headline, but are just replying to other bloggers, the topic is about, “CORRUPT PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF LEVY’S ILLNESS.” I am sure to all learned friends of mine here, this is a straight forward topic and with enough meat for discussion and dissecting. What does everyone think?????.
#150 (Mbuzi). HH is not a small business man or a person who runs tu mantemba. That man is so exposed inside Zambia and abroad and has alot of business partners who assisted him start business.One such person who assisted HH to be where he is business wise is the Late Anderson Kambela Mazoka (May his soul rest in internal peace),Costain Chilala, Anglo America etc. He is one person who can get into barclays bank 2day and get a loan of billions without any application like you and me have to be subjected to invest in business because barclays share a very good corperate r/lationship with him. They are so many Corperate partners i can site who worked and are still working with thta youngman.
Let’s use Mugabe as our step president! How does our neighbour Zim walk away with it and have 2 presidents? Viva step President!
Hello, fellow bloggers, we need articles 36 clause 1 to 3 and article 38 clause 4 to be amended so that the national assembly be given a time period by which they can meet and resolve to ask the CJ to appoint ba shing’anga to operate on LPM so we can knower the truth
Zambians, you are so blessed to have a person like HH aspiring for the highest office in the land. I have been following LT for a long time and have seen that you dont know your fellow citizens well. I worked with HH on various WORLD BANK Projects btwn 1993 and 2000. I can tell you HH is a fine peace of brain you must be proud of, the young man is brilliant and a serious trained negotiator. I travelled with him world wide and never lost any deals we were assigned to negotaite.Each of those negotiations, he got paid Millions of Dollars by World Bank.I stiil do busness with him and his companies from time to time. You Zambians are blessed, if he can be favoured with Office, you will be…
Cont: surprised with the amount of work he will do for your nation. You will end up thinking he is a magician because the man is a perfectionist and believes in prudent management. Am proud to have met such a personality. They could be so many other Zambians like him though.
the comments about the post are not malicious, they are factual. the problem with people like is that you all are under illusion that the post can shape the minds of zambians. in 1991 the post was just part of the big consesus but they want to claim they kicked KK out of office,
here is a list of the failures by the post
In 1996, they went of their way to make sure FTJ did not win elections
In 2006 they decampagned sata-the result? sata got the highest votes in the areas where the post is well read-Lusaka and CB.
Todate they have failed to tell us how much the country is spending on LPM when in the past they were able to tell the cost of a pant Vera could have bought.
th
Whether LPM comes back or not its disgraceful to start ranscking the country through corruption.I agree there is lack of good leadership currently and that is why the so called ministers are going round like headless chickens.They have no idea what they should be doing or what they should be saying yet they all have offices mandated to serve Zambians.Why cant they converne a meeting to discuss issues before making it a free for all nation.Please ministers you are disgracing us all. Go and meet,discuss way forward and who should say what and when.campagn or not but go and agree for once.You are not kids.
HH for president, lets try our fellow tonga brothers and sisters and hold them to task and check if they still have the tribalistic appetite in them, remember, the president is just for a max 10 years. where is chiluba or kaunda, people come and go. If the man is fine and can deliver food on the table, why not try him. most of you have a one sided idea about tongas.
its true we need the truth we dont know whats happening to our president, we are tired of seeing prayers as main healdines of news and newpapers, what about the other people who also need treatment, our president is sick and when he comes he wont need to b over worked, he will need someone to help him, of course it will be bed rest for him, what happens to the economy then?we need to stand up and face the problem at hand
Guz update me.. how far is Ka Fred/Mutinta issue?
take it or leave HH is not presidential material he is fit to be a provincial leader. check out his mps they are all from one province.
The post-ba lipwa.
Only fools still have faith inthe post. Consider yourself one if you believe in the post
On Sata they showed us footage on the passport issue, today they cant show us levy`s footage in france. They cant tell us the cost of levy`s medicall bills. Shame on them.
Ba post,they will perish together with the president.
He is coming,you chaps together with the post will scamper.
He will not be stopped
yabaaa…. me i just blame ka Chiluba for all the things happening now…. if he had listened the situation would have not been like this…anyway God knows. GOD HELP ZED.
HH is a proven astute leader but no matter what we say on this blog its the general voting populace (most of whom are in the rural areas and dont even know there is a newspaper let alone the blog on LT)who would make the difference on this issue.All we need is to analyse what each prospective head of state is going to bring to our country or how he/she is going vto improve the country going.Sometimes we are duped by a large mouth with a large voice even without substance as a good leader.Lets check every leader in the country and choose the best in terms of education,track record,experience,workmanship,commitment and even age etc etc iam sure there is someone out there who nis capable.
Tongas-whats wrong with you???
Have you ever heard any serious bemba talk about ben mwila/austin chewe/chiti-formely major shareholder of telecel for presidency simply becoz he is a businessman?? No,No
If you tongas are not tribal-help me understand the criteria that was used to bring H.H in the political scene.
Remember other names that were consdered were Hikaomba, Prof Habosonda(spelling) based in RSA, Mutinta mazoka.
Any Tongas are tongas at the end of the day.
they want to rule us and yet they have never lead cows-they follow ing`ombe ku matako.
As we all go searching for a leader it is stupid to use tribe as a criteria for one to be qualify as a leader in our country.Lets just look at what each one can do for us all.If its HH so let be it.If its Mutati,Mulongoti,Banda,Tetamanshimba so lets be it as long as these people satisfy us with their track record,experience,education,etc etc.So lets not talk about tribes or is languages here
#209, i agree with you on the question of tribe, but remember UPND came out in the open and told us that their party could only be lead by a Zambian of a particular tribe i cannot just remember now.the result was the bringing in of a political novice who has managed to shrink the once dreaded party to a tribal party confined to one province.
all those who accuse tongas of being tribalists are ignorant about Zambian history both pre and past independence periods. if they new they would not talk about tongas being tribalists.
humble advice: consult sikota wina’s book entitled night without a president and you’ll know who the real tribalists are in Zambia. Viva one zambia one nation, one zambia one people.
#206 Ba boss yes ka chiluba gave you Mwanawasa, but when you had a chance to choose you still voted for the stable man
Its actually easy to tell someone’s maturity even by listening to what they say. #209,Gibby, I think you are a mature person. I like the way you put up your ideas. You have no vernom in your statements against anyone. Disliking any presidential aspirant will not help anyone because whoever people will chose will lead the nation. Remember when LPM came to power. Most people wanted to choke with hate and others claimed he was president for just 28% Zambians, but what do we see now, whatever decisions he has ever made in office affect every Zambian. The best we can do as individuals now, is to sell our prefered candidate with credible reasons!And let the best man win! Zambia chalo chesu bonse!
it looks like gedeon mugabe doesnt understand da difference between an individual expressing their opion and the position of a party as an entity, thats why he cant even remember the events, please kindly redo your history.
#210, there is no more need to convince you that Tonga are not tribal. Experience will teach you since someone said, “experience is the best teacher”.
To the rest of the bloggers on here, another person wrote “the best good men/women can do to avoid evil is to do nothing”.
“There is time for everything” according to the Holy Bible. And so, now is the time to move forward and leave those who are still using politics of insults behind in their backwardness.
“One Zambia, one Nation.” In tune with the Nation.
Someone said,”Avoid arguing with a foll in order to avoid noise, for the onlookers may not notice the difference” between the two parties.
In #215: Someone said,”Avoid arguing with a ‘foll’ in order to avoid noise, for the onlookers may not notice the difference” between the two parties….must readSomeone said,”Avoid arguing with a ‘FOOL’ in order to avoid noise, for the onlookers may not notice the difference” between the two parties.
Number 192, Let them laugh, Zambia is a sovereighn country and god is in control and for now zambias economy is at its best, and we have not lost hope that the president will recover.
#215 I echo your sentiments, Indeed we do not need to justify ourselves to no one. Let people who feel important by belittling ad accuses others for whatever reason continue to do so in their backwardness. This Tonga tribalism has been discussed on every topic on this blog and people have said all they can but some thick headed minds stick to what they only have heard about and not experienced at all. So those of us who have better things to contribute should not respond to these people who we all know very well. Tongas you do not need anyone’s support or approve to be what you have always been. Pls stop indulging in trivial issues. Ndamana ndime wanu mucizyi.
#218. Big ups and keep well. Leza nguuzi alike.
#215 bravo Mimi. Thats the spirit sisy! Noone should shoot anyone down for any reason.
This “stable” tag is really getting out of hand imagine that the new response poeple are giving now when you greet them is “I am stable”. this is a serious game we are playing with the Presidency of our nation and i can assure you that it will backfire soon. This is even much more srious than being on auto pilot we have to act now. The only hope i have is for parliament to move a motion on the way forward once they convene and this is not very far from now..
By the way,has convicted former president wished our sitting hospitalised president well?
Am now officially joining the debate. These cocroaches are at it again. Why dont you concetrate your energies in attending court cases for your theieving relatives other than discussing HH at every opportunity you get. One will end up defeacating in your pants because of this pathological hatred. Am told one of your chiefs dances too much when under the influence.
197. Edvin Mokena where are you from? Zimbabwe or South Afri ca? Why don’t you have HH then if you hold him in such high esteem. It appears both Zimbabwe and South African could do with anintelligent presido right now!
Some of these cocroaches supporting SATAnyoko are the ones wishing Levy dead so that under their imaginary hopes a cocroach can take over. They are even influencing some media heads to start the tribal debate as they Know they are loud mouthed and hope to use this to swing the vote in their favour. NEVER AGAIN WILL THIS COUNTRY FALL BACK INTO THE HANDS OF COCROACHES. The presidency will now revolve among indegenous Zambians with clean records and not thieving cocroaches.
Hola 191 i think i love you
You have corrupt leaders in both rulling party and government.
#226, what wrong have I done to you so I can apologise??? I kindly ask you to stop using my blog name. I am not as petty as you are, you know
I am the real mimi stop using my name for diserupte
Just because i said i have Aids doesnt mean people should say stupid things you *****s
I hope and pray that the Presdient has not suffered a subarachnoid haemorrhage which is a bleed in the so-called subarachnoid space, which is the very small space between the brain and the skull, and which contains blood vessels that supply the brain. The cause of the bleeding usually is a rupture of a bulge in one of these vessels. This bulging or blister on a vessel is called an aneurysm. A subarachnoid haemorrhage is a relatively uncommon type of stroke; it accounts for about one in 20 (5%) of all strokes. Subarachnoid haemorrhage often occurs at a relatively young age: half the patients are younger than 55 years old. The outcome of patients after subarachnoid haemorrhage is generally poo
The outcome of patients after subarachnoid haemorrhage is generally poor: half the patients die within one month after the haemorrhage, and of those who survive the initial month, half remain dependent on someone else for help with activities of daily living (e.g. walking, dressing, bathing). One of the causes of poor outcome is a complication of subarachnoid haemorrhage called secondary ischaemia (ischaemia means lack of blood). This complication occurs four to 10 days (hence secondary) after the haemorrhage

#174 come get it
I would like to apologise to my fellow Zambian’s the bemba’s.
#230 231 CURIOUS
Thank you for this information. This is what we want to read on this blogg instead of useless requests for the mediacl bill.
curious I can confirm to you that Levy suffered a subarachnoid Heamorhage on the back cranial area. Unfortunatly oxygen was not administered in the first critical ten minutes and it is expected that some brain cells must undergone undergone permanent damage due to oxygen deprivation. The healing procces that is if it will take place at all can be anywhere between two months and eight months. It leave Levy with ipaired speech, lack of motor function with loss of use of Limbs in short he may end up in a vegetative state. If Levy does come back aout
Curious…..did the late former head of dermatology have a similar stroke?
Golyati If what you say is correct, then it is incumbent on the authorities concerned to inform the nation on the exact nature of the stroke and related consequences, the timeframe for recovery and if after recovery it would be or not be possible to physically discharge the duties of this high office.
Muli muchibe pantu the day RB will start fulltime Acting President, alot of you will be locked up
Crisis in Zambian leadership. Yes!!! Have you heard, Cabinet has awareded themselves hefty monthly increaments of over 100 percent. Imagine they could not just give UNZA lectures ka 12 percent claiming there was no money.
Ministers will now be getting K26m from the current K8million per month, D/ministers K21m from the current K7m, Secretary to cabinet K32m from the current K11m….
But mulongoti was cheating that the Govt has no money, What a blunt lie. These guys have started preparing themselves for early retirement packages. This is the problem when you dont have a President around.This the day light corruption happening in our midst. Lets be pro-active and stop this nonsense
Shameless leaders,Why did’t they award themselves these salaries when LPM was still conscious, this tells a big story, they probably know that the state council LPM will never come back alive and question the increments. By the way why did the british outgoing commisioner visit Sata to say goodbye and wish him good health?
#242 You very right with your observation concerning Sata and outgoing British High commissioner… The truth is that the outgoing ‘Comm…” had seem it in his last days how corrupt these mulongoti guys had become, ever since LPM has been in France (ICU).
It was a way of telling sata that, he should report all who is plundering to LPM, once he comes back. RB cant fire these corrupt ministers according to Mulongoti.
Allow me to comment on the tribal sentiments being propagated against HH & the UPND at the expense of digressing from the topic. To # 204, I think you’re an ill informed individual bcoz u wildly suggest that UPND only has MPs in one province. Here are the facts: the party has a total of 23 seats. The Southern Province, it’s stronghold only has 19 seats, one of which is held by ULP’s Sakwiba Sikota in L/stone. Therefore, if you have any arithmetical ability, u’ll discover that 5 of those must have been secured from other provinces, in this case Central, N/Western & Western. Stick to the facts bcoz some of us can’t be misled by such empty talk.
