PATRIOTIC Front (PF) leader Michael Sata has proved that he will be a danger to national security if entrusted with power to run the country going by his failure to uphold confidentiality in his own party.
Lusaka Province MMD task force spokesperson Chiwele Maimisa said it was not surprising that Mr Sata had been discovered by his own central committee members to cause confusion in the opposition party because the PF leader did the same way back during the days when he served as a constable in the colonial government in which he used to leak information leading to the arrest of Zambians.
And United Party for National Development (UPND) national youth chairperson, Joe Kalusa said Mr Sata was a danger to State security and should not be allowed to become Republican president after admitting that he had been personally leaking sensitive information against rival individuals in the country’s biggest opposition party.
On Wednesday, Mr Sata admitted that he had been leaking confidential information within the party’s central committee, saying he had been doing so to promote transparency.
Mr Sata also said he used to do the same when he was MMD national secretary.
Mr Maimisa said it was pleasing to note that Mr Sata had finally chosen to expose his true character of being a danger to national security and an untrustworthy person by admitting to leaking information which had in the end cracked his party hierarchy.
“It is not surprising that Mr Sata’s tricks have caught up with him because this is the man who used to report to the colonial masters every bit of information when others met to liberate the country.
“Zambians should be extremely careful with this man because the liberation he is talking about now may just mean taking the country back to his colonial masters going by the issues he went to advocate for during his recent trip to the United Kingdom,” he said.
Mr Maimisa said it was true that some PF Members of Parliament were currently disgruntled and were planning to leave the party, especially that Mr Sata did not seem to be set to go to the party national convention.
“In fact some MPs are now planning to petition the PF central committee to elect a person to be floated as a presidential candidate in this year’s elections because they feel Mr Sata is undemocratic and wants to continue imposing himself on the members,” Mr Maimisa said.
And Mr Kalusa said an opposition leader who admits having leaked information that is responsible for causing divisions among his leaders could plunge the country into chaos should he assume State power.
Mr Kalusa said even when UPND and PF ran the pact, Mr Sata leaked sensitive information to a private newspaper, a habit which showed lack of leadership skills. He warned Zambians that the country could degenerate into turmoil against other states should the PF leader become president.
He said Mr Sata should know that he would not become president of Zambia and that the challenge would only be between President Banda and UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema.
Mr Kalusa said the weaknesses that had exposed Mr Sata, including his support for homosexuality, should make the PF leader forget about becoming president of this country.
Mr Kalusa also said in his usual dictatorial way of running the party, Mr Sata whose party had failed to hold the national convention, recently appointed Rebby Chanda as PF Copperbelt provincial chairperson despite having been rejected by the PF members who attended the provincial conference in Mufulira, in preference for former Masaiti PF secretary Sturdy Mwale who had since been suspended for challenging Mr Sata’s preferred candidate and tribesman.

Why is SATA making so many Headlines?
Just have a decent fight for the votes! MMD is a bit worried about PF! HH,s tonga people’s
Party is a no hoper” RB teyi telipamondzi nemutima umo 1 Zambia 1 nation
Under five go to hell
Oh! I wasted my time reading this. I did not know it was from Times of Zambia MMD + UPND!
go and read the post. see if they are any less biased.
What information leakage does Maimisa mean which can endanger national security?? Chiluba exposed the tunnels at state house and there is a clip for that. Did he not compromise with national security? Nakapwasha and the group are everday exposing the government in their talk to defend RB.
Before i even finished reading i knew it was either the times or the daily mail stupid papers wasting tax payers money.
Ba. fi.ca.la ba LT and Times at it again
maimesa and chifinyo mwaba tall lay
The people will have the last word on who goes to state house. Thank you for your unnecessary advice
Seriously, this Guy is a threat to national morality as well.
What comez out of theze public media institutionz sometimez iz often very chocking if one haz the zeal to read/listen/watch.
People are having sleepless nights Sata aleteka this year no amount of propaganda will stop him
Viva SATA Viva PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
One bull question why is it that luaska times is alwasye supporting MMD?
Sata is clearly making headlines in both public and private media. The ruling MMD doesn’t seem to realize that the more they talk about him, the more people get to know him. You are actually selling him before the electorate as the only alternative to the big nose Bozo clown in state house. Any publicity is good publicity. Unfortunately for HH and the other small, insignificant parties, being a bunch of goody-2-shoes doesn’t get you publicised. The PF camp simply thought up a few provocative topics like homosexuality with which to challenge your circus at state house and – BANG! It worked
Hogwash from MMD which is benefiting Sata
Maybe Sata believes that information should be layed bare before all stakeholders involved. I think the MMD is worried that Sata, if elected, will reveal a lot of dirty secrets. All the ghosts and skeletons will come out of the State House closet so fast, you will wish Ghost Busters was not a cartoon/movie.
Gooooooooooooo PF Gooooooooooooo
You guys we should leave the virus of cadre mentality,we shud be analytical in our political language.I don’t think Zambia will ever be a middle income country looking at the leaders we ‘ve whose economic ignorance is so immense.Anotha issue has do with tribalism,this idealogy will going to cost our macroeconomic life.Lets choose a leader who is developmt oriented.
YET ANOTHER STORY FIT FOR THE DUST BIN………..SOURCE? TIMES OF MMD (ZAMBIA?) SO WHAT DO YOU EXPECT????…TRASH OF COURSE…….THIS RUBBISH WILL HAVE NOT IMPACT ON THE MOMENTUM GAINED BY PF…….THE CLOCK HAS NOT GONE TO SLEEP!!!! IT IS SURELY TICKING…….TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK……..ABALEYA!!!!!!!!!
Whoever believes the garbage written by the TOZ need to see a neurosurgeon and since I am married to a doctor I can help by asking him to refer you! RBish is a close friend of the little kleptomania FTJ who unveiled a very important and necessary state secret, the state house tunnels. What is worrying this scandalous MMD regime is that all they have done will be told for all to know. Shikapwasha as he stated in Ndola Chifubu is upset that a decade ago MCS refused to buy him a bag of maelile meal. The man has no initiative or skill to be self employed hence clinging to government positions.The managing editor at the TOZ and their desperate Information minister are paranoid of being unemployed once MCS is elected president.VIVA PF, VIVA MCS, PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
SATA ngatalipo bonse abashala ni bangwele….VIVA PF,VIVA SATA……Dontch kubeba
|Like yesterday I ask who the heck these pipo are who are takin pot shots at Sata?Maimisa.Never heard of you!not unless you crawled out of a rock somewhere a few months ago.Its amazin how MMD expects to gain ground with these light weights.Taskforce chairman Maimase and on the copperbelt joe Malanji.These chaps would hav a hell of a time tryin to get elected as councillors.hown the hell they get to make headlines is a mystery to me.So easy to make the headline in Zambia!As of joe Kalusa.He did his bit,as well as a whole lot of other pipo in pf and upnd,in breakin the pact.Could he concentrate on finally making it into parliament!
Sataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Pabwatoooooooooooooooooooooo. The days are ticking and they are busy bringing irrelevant issues, people’s minds are already set. Sataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
SAta is a JOKE period.
sad development for great grandpa, one can only deduce that his acts of infor leakage was done so for personal reasons and not for the interest of the country as a whole. his political cv speaks volumes about this gentleman
i would love to be PF its just the KAPONYA MENTALITY AND ATTITUDE that dont settle well with me…
I mean am not gonna better my life going back to bording school days and singing bustele everyday. \:d/:d:”>:-?:-\”:):):):d:d:((:((:((
BA MMD ficala fyenu, amatole, Shikapwasha ubwamba nge ntabo yachikwepe. Goerge Kunda imilomo nge ichipato chakwakolwe
and it didnt take long just look at @26 comments hehehehe
You can say all you want, ni pa bwato fye, mwamukolo fela.
Chiwele Maimisa sympathises with AlaBee pantu they are both UNIP.
# 27 Uchipo, every party has some Kadobi and Mules. These are Zambians and they deserve to support any party they chose. Even within families, we have the elite and uneducated who even cause confusion at the most awkward times such as at a funeral. They are still our people! Realistically all Zambian political parties have them. The PF has more of these because it is a grassroot party who believes in the plight of the unemployed youth and the street kids. By the way if you still want to know what I personally think about the above story refer to # 19. To you even though I have an MBA with a job paying more than US$150,000 per annum, as long as I support PF I am a KAPONYA????
I do not think you are right Sir/Madam to say that the PF is a grassroot party and believes in the plight of the unemployed youth and the street kids. Actually, you will find that most of non-violent grassroot people tend to support the MMD and the UPND and most violent grassroots support the PF. And maybe, it is why # 25 & 27 Uchipo, said PF is associated with KAPONYA MENTALITY AND ATTITUDE. When I was in Zambia, I worked with people at the grassroot level and that is where I observed what Uchipo and I have commented. God bless you Sir/Madam
Thats he fakes an invitation by a university group of bemba or relatives to be a lecture to the world … Joke.His friend is shuttling between the white and UPND HQ for talks.
Imagine SATA has sidelined Kabimba and Lubinda. He is now intertaining Chitala, Panji, Mulongoti etc and very soon Mr Katoloshi Lupando.
Sata is a goodman let us give him a time to prove that he can deliver, MMD 20 years full of false promises Chitala, Panji, Kabimba and Hon Lubinda are all saying and looking forward to charge no more no less. Ba Sata is not sidelining with anyone, let us be realistic
I thought UPND was complaining of not being covered by the post, but where are they being covered because i cant find any programs anywhere except when they are being used to discredit SATA. Which media is covering you guys? not even your proclaimed door-to- door campaign.
LET SATA TELL THE COUNTRY WHAT THE $27000 US DOLLARS WAS FOR THAT WAS CONFISCATED BY LAW IN SOUTH AFRICA?…..HOW CAN HE GOVERN ZAMBIA WHEN HE CANT EVEN FOLLOW AVERAGE LAWS OF TRAVELLING INTERNATIONALLY.
MOST ADULTS KNOW YOU CANNOT TRAVEL WITH MORE THAN $10000 IN CASH AND ALSO SENDING MONEY INTERNATIONALLY IS RECORED WHEN OVER $10000.
SATA IS THE REAL UNDER 5 HERE…..ZAMBIA WILL BECOME A PRE SCHOOL!
I am loving this desperation, keep it up MMD, soon we won’t even need an election. And I see UPND has officially joined MMD finally
It does not matter. UPND will ensure RB continues until 2016. My advice to PF is just to concentrate on what is on the ground. The strategy to stop Sata has already been set. HH does not want to see Sata in State House. He is willing to let loose and allow RB continue. The voting tactics by UPND will finish Sata. Panji, Mulongoti, Nawikwi, Chitala or anyone out there will not change anything. Panji knows this very well and that’s why he tried to form some useless Peoples Pact that has failed completely to kick off.
RB is very stubborn and myopic cant’ he see were the political wind is blowing? I feel sorry for the big man and his small advisor “Kafupi”
Viva SATA !pabwatooooooooooooooo. Viva PVT no rigging this year. Walobe lyauma RB!
Pa Bwatoooooooo, we are not going to supporting…can you pliz find a better way of campaigning for the out going president RB not this propaganda it won´t work i can assure you, Zambians are sharp now. PA BWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
CHIMOLAWO PA BWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
:-? Sata is a snitch…
stopping sata this year using these useless reporting will not do anything. we are eager for change mind you am a miner and I know what am talking about. If MMD want to win the minds of people especially on the copperbelt, lusaka and cival servants I would advice you talk about real isues which are affecting us. Talk about lowering tax and develop our areas we need to see infrustructure, proper povert reduction not these irrelevant isues that you reporting always about it won’t take you anywhere. adress real isues you can talk of chingola,chilibombwe, solwezi roads how many people are dying on daily basis? these are the town where the strong source income is but we have not seen any development at all. change is required
Kaponya kind of language and you expect to lead a country like that. Homosexual lovers will not be allowed in Zambia. Zambians will not let you Homos rule them, why the rush. Lets examine the same leaders we are putting forward. You say you want change what change when Sata is staunch MMD, If HH calls for change yes we can but not Sata. I pray to God that he allows him to reach the elections otherwise we shall have a funeral of another political leader before elections. Let the old man rest. You say the public media is supporting MMD how about the POST which has becoame a vuvuzela for Sata. Viva Zambia one Zambia one nation and we shall defeat the devil
We have already decided to change, no amount useless propaganda is going to work. Here in Solwezi its a no go area for MMD,
the use of propaganda by the MMD clearly shows that there is nothing good this people can offer us….by the way i was am MMD just decided to PF coz everyone wants change here so there is no need for me and the others to continue resisting change and i like the PF manifesto and the people on the ground plus the leader himself MICHEAL CHILUFYA SATA jealous down mudala you are the best.
HH the only credible candidate and his mighty team the UPND. Pakuboko chabe
really,how does someone sayin he does not condone backbitting a bad thing.would you all rather he was aiding and abettin malacious talk.If you hav something bad to say about someone you should be able to say it to their face.And that should have been wat sata stands for. I can understand the various interpretations of Sata’s talk wih the Danish journalists.But iyi kwena pipo you are so off the mark.
The only news worth reading is when people are castigating and insulting MMD and HERB. Thats why i just like the POST. It tell everyone of us what we want to hear. DONCHI KUBEPA UBUFI
because of what you are saying about Sata i now choose to support him because he seems to be the right person to lead zambia
give sata a chance, he is hard working.
Who revealed State House Tunnels? Who dined and wined with Savimbi and betrayed the Namibian freedom fighters of Swapo to the fascist forces? Who has sold ZAMTEL to foreigners regardless of Zambia’s security concerns in communications? It is definately not SATA. So we now know the real threat to our national security.
@48, sata was the chief architect of all chiluba’s “mistakes”, starting from revealing the tunnels ending with third term and everything in between. at first chiluba had good intentions but he lost it when he succumbed to temptation by the biblical snake, he listened to sata whom he believed had massive experience in governance. when chiluba realised his mistake it was too late, but all the same he did us some justice by discarding the cobra to leave us with levy and now rb 2011. and now you talk of change in the same breath as mr sata, my foot have you got a heart for your country?
we the government in waiting want you to look carefully at the picture above, our president is surrounded by his tribesmen. we would want to change things but you know how difficult it is, we fear to be expelled.
by the way, where is our pf national chairperson inonge? she cannot stand lesbians and homos? good lady, finally come to her senses.
Walitumpa.Pamenso ububi.
Upnd is dead party. Finished party. No media cover forget it tongas this time.Viva mmd
IWE MWANKOLE WALITUPA PAMENSO KWATI CUMBU
Let us just speculate. If a miracle occurred to usher-in Ba Sata as Republican President. This will be his priority programme. Since Sata knows Mmembe’s mind-set very well, his 1st step will be to outlaw the existence of “The Post Newspaper” to preserve his integrity. A 2nd step will be to provide more funds to “The Daily Mail” and “The Times of Zambia” as Govt papers that will ensure to prop up his polularity. The 3rd step will be to discard Mpombo, Mulongoti, Chitala for their trecherous tendencies. The 4th step is to review the status of the Catholic Church and swiftly depot Bishop Duffy and Co. for their anti-Govt stand. What will happen to his inner-circle senior PF members is your own guess, These are mere speculations based on developments that are precipitating.
as a pf government in waiting for 2016, it is clear that we are not doing well. our campaign strategy does not seem to have an impact on the people, do they still read our propaganda in the post? maybe we need to revamp the editorial team at the post, replace mmembe with a clearly effective chanda chimba iii. oh, and of course poach that dora phenomenon to be our spokesperson.
That is nosense from Maimisa, There is no way Sata can be a danger to national security for lack of words. MMD should find better ways of gaining votes especially in Lusaka Urban. Sata has been at senior level in previous Governments and knew alot and has never been on record disclosing this and that. The fear from Maimisa is that should PF win then his Car wash business along Burma road may be demolished as its an illigal structure. Lets have issue based campaigns not persoal. Chiluba did more danger to our national security in our history by disclosing state house tunnels. What MMD should not forget is that they are freely campaigning for Sata where ever they go. They mention his name. MMD should do more to rebuild its damaged image.
iam begging to get tired of what Sata can/nt do, my people i think everybody knows weather you’re PF or not that he will never rule Zambia period.The razzmatazz aside seriously, who will vote for him expect those close to him?there is nothing new that he can bring on table…since independence???
ZAMBIA IS YET TO EXPERIENCE ANOTHER TITANIC
# 29, I do not think you are right Sir/Madam to say that the PF is a grassroot party and believes in the plight of the unemployed youth and the street kids. Actually, you will find that most of non-violent grassroot people tend to support the MMD and the UPND and most violent grassroots support the PF. And maybe, it is why # 25 & 27 Uchipo, said PF is associated with KAPONYA MENTALITY AND ATTITUDE. When I was in Zambia, I worked with people at the grassroot level and that is where I observed what Uchipo and I have commented. God bless you Sir/Madam
#42 BA SOLWEZI…we have always been singing about this song for long,so its true Pali Fwaka(PF) is made up of frustrated former MMD individuals who have been sacked n failed to deliver. so now u r in PF n advocating for change which u did not implement when u wr in MMD,,u r jst a cadre with no direction,cant u c the mines surrounding solwezi? who brought them?..nevertheless the MMD ll continue the work till 2016 n beyond,,wheather HOMOS N lesbians agree or not..what has the PF president done to Zambia evr since he ws in government? rubbish he has failed 3ce in Elections-failures..u r jst Kaponyaz who ll never rule Zambia..MMD again.again n again.
Why does SATA cause so much panic. May be he is the best candidate. Well, will see
# 61, I don’t think he causes so much panic. I think most people mention the of Mr Sata because he lies alot. Out of 10 things he will talk about, 8 of them are lies. Those who worked with him when he was a Constable during the British rule and those who worked with him in the first and second republics know him very well. Even Lubinda, Kabimba and the 3 past PF Sec. Generals know him very well. When people talk about him, is not because he is popular, but because they want you to know the type of a person who is aspiring to hold the highest office in the land.
