I will not attend the family summons- Patrick Mwanawasa

PATRICK MWANAWASA has said he will not attend the family summons over his alleged unpalatable language towards the Republican President.

He denied being disrespectful to the President and said he called him arrogant, which the President himself had admitted he was, and warned that such an arrogant attitude was similar to former Ivory Coast President Laurent Ggagbo who had to be unceremoniously removed from power after refusing to concede defeat.

Patric has also castigated the government for reversing the strong vision his late father had about fighting corruption. The President was recently quoted at the Trade Fair in Ndola as having said there was no corruption in Zambia. Most people have also seen the removal of the Abuse of Public Office clause from the laws on corruption as a step backwards in the fight against corruption.

Patrick also said he would not be cowed in his political campaign agaist the MMD.

Yesterday the Mwanawasa family has summoned Patrick Mwanawasa, over disparaging remarks he has been issuing against President Banda. His uncle, Moses Muteteka told the media that the family would like to counsel him because the statements he was making are not only demeaning the President, but embarrassing the family too.

Mr Muteteka further said that the statements coming from Patrick were too strong and inconsistent with the Mwanawasa family which is known to be disciplined and well-cultured. Mr Mutetaka further lamented that Patrick could be playing to the tune of the Patriotic Front (PF) which wants to use his name to discredit President Banda’s government.

“We have summoned him (Patrick). I asked him to come and see me immediately he arrives from Chipata. We are concerned with the statements said to be coming from him because they are quite strong. Imagine how can a young man tell President Banda that ‘you can’t bring me down’,” Mr Muteteka said.

He said the family meeting is not meant to infringe on Patrick’s right to belong to a political party of his choice, but to counsel him to respect elders in his political career.

He said it was clear that Patrick was being used by the PF because the language attributed to him is similar to that which PF president Michael Sata had been using against former President Mwanawasa.

  1. Mr. P Mwanawasa will learn the hard way. Look, now is not the time to burn your bridges with your family. When faced with problems, your family will always be willing to help and will stand by you. Your family are the only people you can count on in this world. If you burn your bridges with them, you’ll find yourself isolated and alone, wondering where it all went wrong.

    • Let the young man be! Why are not telling the one who is insulting people everyday and responsible for the suffering masses. Mr. Muteteka is just an hungry man. Go PF Go Patrick and God Bless you! 

    • Mr Capitalist, I have no problems with the family asking the young man to go and meet the ‘family’. What I have problems with, is the ‘family’s’ decision to go to the media to talk about what is essentially a private matter. If they wanted to speak to him with dignity, they could have done that without rushing to the media. I therefore, feel that the young man is within his rights to refuse to go and meet with them.

    • Mr. Capitalist.
      What is this nonsense about family and bridges. the man is big enough with a family. that family which has remained ‘loyal’ to RB is feasting on RB’s droplets. Cant someone have a life for himself

  2. I now believe this boy has a PF demon. Does he know the significance of family? No wonder we never used to hear about him when his Dad was alive, because I doubt his father would put up with such crap as this. His Dad was a no nonsense man. Bottom line this kid is a loser. At 27 years old despite having all the resources in the world, he does not even have a certificate or diploma, apart from a Division 4 Grade 12 certificate. I wonder why the media is giving him this much coverage

  3. Twaumfwa mwisho and please, dont come back to the family when you find that your two balls are too heavy for you to carry alone. Its all well, we shall forever keep our peace. Sorry for inconveniencing you ba mwisho baPatrick.

  4. When all is done….. this boy will realise how stupid he his and no one will want to get near him. Hope you have a house where to stay… like the say be respect people on your way up… you might just need them on your way down. You might need the same relatives you are disrespecting …..
    Time will tell

    • The ‘family’ or should I say relatives are led by the stomach. Levy fought for his name by standing for what he believed in not going by the majority. He quit as VP because he could not agree with Chiluba on various issues. That made his name, not blind politics of the stomach. Patrick should follow his heart after all he may be privileged to know better what goes behind our back as citizens. He has first hand information. It is worth taking for his reputation. Don’t ask him to boot lick like everyone of you.

    • he has a lot of followers who are more than ready to catch him on his way down.Rupia should have given him something to do SIMPLE

  5. Its only in Countries like Zambia where when you have a different opinion about the people in power/ govt policies then you become an enermy or disrespectiful. Please wake up, RB has not done anything for Zambia apart from stealing from its poor people. If Mwanawasa were alive Patrick wouldnt have said this because Mwanawasa would have been in power and most Zambians would have been happy with his ways of running the country affairs. Leave Patrick alone. Go Patrick stand for what your father stood for.

    • U should understand the complexities of every society’s cultural beliefs before yapping about. Noone said he has no freedoms, but exercise them so as not to ingringe other peoples’. These are the basics this dunderhead needs to know bcoz at 27yrs he is a grown up and should behave like he would like to see the same RB he is condemning. Oh, by the way, WHO THE **** IS PATRICK, ANYWAY?

  6. The boy is becoming popular, i envy his courage but should learn to listen to his inner still voice. The family regardless of family politics which is in all families they are the greatest Asset, let him dwarf his ego and sit before them. To me i think it will give him an opportunity to justify his statements.
    This visible arrongancy will diminish his chances of winning the kafulafuta constituency, to me the MMD they are playing a serious chess game using his relatives as porns. How i wish PF strong men could see this and brand Patrick as young boy who is ready to discuss with family members any sticky topics by attending the family meeting.

  7. Like the bemba’s say

    Chimbwi pakulila ninshi pali uko ashimtilila amatako…   i hope this boy has his buttocks some where… you will need the same relatives you are telling off when SATA uses you and gets rid of you…  many have been in your place thinking the are riding on wave no 9. when it crushes hope you have a landing pad..  you are too young to know what many bloggers are saying

  8. Ba Patrick – what corruption was your father fighting – the foreign service was full of your relatives! And can you explain your step mom’s links to the business community? What about the low levels of tax the mines are paying – especially Chinese owned? Ba Patrick – if I were you I would heed Kavindele’s advice by engaging RB to get a scholarship to China to study, even up to PhD level. Thereafter you can curve out a career for yourself … . The same Kavindele and RB you are despising have well-educated children. What about you ba Patrick? None of your siblings has even studied law so that they could have revived Mwanawasa & Co. instead that has been left to your cousin Norma – the daughter of your late uncle Harry. So please ba Patrick – get a life, study and prove yourself

    • On the contrary, Maureens daughters are well educated, one is even a lawyer, unlike this punk wanting to ride on his dead fathers name. You mean well and I agree with you, he needs an education SOOOOOO BADLY this little dull a++++hole

    • Spare-some-tears you are a very sad being. You have a personal vendata against the young man. Shame on you. You made your point clear once. you think you are gaining respect here? Patrick is picking up his pieces and making a life for himself. If you have a problem with that go hang yourself. Need I say this: families in Zambia are just in the habit of butting into your business. If they wanted him summoned did they have to go to the media? Dont they have his cell phone number. Rubbish ***** punk.

    • spare some tears indeed listen school is not for evryone maureenz daughter are lawyers good for her patrick wants to persue his political career well and good lets rally behind him lets not always be haters leave him alone the culture of politics in zambia are insults wats new here

    • So you want him to wipe RB’s shoes for a scolarship. Scholarships should be earned on credit basis not by choosing to please a wrong cause. Look be objective and speak one thing at a time.

  9. PM has his own mind and life. Were was this MMD toilet paper muteteka when the well publicied fight in the mwanawas family were making head lines ?. Whats wrong with calling RB arrogant ? As african we are too confined in the box, act and think independently, outside the box. All this publicity has done the young mans career no harm at all. PF have another big name becasue of this publicity. Well done Patrick, mwandii tell them whats on yuor mind. This is what Zambia needs , outspoken young blood , not these yes men..

  10. You people,let the young MAN exercise his right. Mr Independent Observer, i beg to differ with you. Ronald Reagan never had a certificate..Bill Gates(Microsoft) never had a certificate..Larry Ellison, Micheal Dell, Sir Charles Branson EVEN here in ZAMBIA you have a lot of people without formal credentials in education who are not SO CALLED FAILURES in life.. Levy JR needs to exercise his freedom..All the best LEVY P!!!!

  11. Landed ….YOU ARE VERY NARROW MINDED IF THAT’S YOUR LINE OF THOUGHT…the problem with some of you ZAMBIANS is that you think a REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT is a SEMI GOD who can not be criticized… A President is a volunteer Politician…no one forced anyone to be PRESIDENT..They all volunteer so we shall hammer them when ever its necessary..After all WE PAY THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If they don’t want to be criticized, let them go to their villages and become HEADMEN or CHIEFS…

  12. No 11

    All those people you have outlines were not CHIBUKU drinkers like this boy. Besides is possible for a failure to make it in the UK, USA etc. Zambia is a hash place. Lets talk next year when this boy will be walking the streets of Zambia looking for where to sleep

  13. This is no longer about President Banda, this is about Mr. P Mwanawasa disrespecting his family. What I can tell you is in life, you need your family. If he burns his bridges now, he’ll live to regret it later on.

    All you guys cheering Mr. P Mwanawasa on will not even help him should he start having difficulties in life. You’ll abandon him. It is better he surrounds himself with people that love and care for him (his family) than people that want to use him because he inherited his fathers name.

  14. patrick like levi mwanawasa is speaking for the poor, but like chiluba fought levi, every mmd cader is fighting patrick . go ahead patrick . u father was ahero

  15. I SMELL FRESH COZ AM FROM BATHING A MIN AGO,AM NOW LYING ON MY BED,WHO WANTS TO JOIN ME?note:only with heavy ones

  16. #1 BULL…..#2 BULL….#3 BULL……#4 BULL….#6 BULL…..and to any other C*NT that accuses Patrick of whatever crap you come up with.
    People have DIED!!!!!!!!!!! due to the nonesense that is MMD, but even deeper than that, the political style we have in our poor Zambia and Africa as a whole which is similar to that of the times when Kings and Queens ruled the world.
    Enough of this! It’s time for everything to change and the change begins this year.

  17. As DULL as our current politicians are, I must give them credit for realizing that change is in the air and a new breed of politician is emerging. So, fear has gripped their minds and souls and they are haunted. There’s no escape, you can’t stop change….Kings ruled the world once but look were we are now.
    Our kings (which is the power WE the people give them) in Africa are feeling the heat and they will do what ever takes to keep their lazy control over US…even kill and still find peace in calling themselves Christians…complete your reading of the Bible and you’ll find you will ALL burn!

  18. WE are ready to die for the sake of our children, and ALL those that have died due to this political “game” will NOT have died in vain.
    Sata is not perfect, not intelligent person could tell you that BUT he is a lot better than the “situation” we currently have in our poor Zambia.

  19. #1 to #6 you have nothing in your heads but crap,you Stu-pid mmd cadres who cant see beyond your bellies.Patrick is no infant to be counseled by unprincipled chaps like Muteteka.Right choice Patrick,dont go and waste your time at the so called family meeting.Mutetka has no blood connection with Patrick except that he is married to Patrick’s step mother Maaureen.Malabish yama politicians.

  20. It was wrong for Patrick to say he was not going to attend the meeting.he should have gone there out of respect.your family will always be your family.except that muteteka is not fit to call for the meeting since he has interest in the matter(mmd cadre)

  21. This boy is very arrogant, he will one day be calling his family for help. Blood it thicker than water, Sata is not your relative, he will use you, lose the election and leave you to fend for yourself. Family is very important young man, to make matter worse you haven’t even finished school to be fully self reliant .

  22. Summoning Patrick was not done in gud faith by de so called family members. why announcing2 de whole world dat thy want 2 advice him. this is politics bwana muteteka if u want respect quit! Go go Patrick we a behind u! leav de young boy alone shaa!

  23. Respect for the elderly is needed everywhere and by everybody, and it has to be given by everybody, anybody to evryone living and those that has passed on alike. The Zambian culture teaches us to be respecting our elders,(Elders) often refer to people older than ourselves it does not neccesarilly have to be someone from your biological linage. Once you miss this simple but important step in the school of life, you will never see blessings. you might eat well, live well or large but once blessings evaporates from you you are nothing. So let us respect our elders. Please fellow bloggers, note that i haven’t taken a political stance on this one issue. It’s immoral for a twenty one year old boy to insult a 75 year old man, where is the wisdom.

  24. Patrick is siding with somebody who called his father a cabbage and and went on to say after the death of LPM that the late only sent him to SA as a political gimmick! He would rather eat from the same plate as someone who insulted the man that brought him into this world and brought him up than those who share the same blood as his late father. Patrick would rather be used by a man whose own son was lay dead in his own home for a number of days before his body  was discovered. Given all this, is it any wonder that he joined the party of fools (PF)? Lets just wait and see how long it will take for Sata to chew the young man and spit him out. All the Mwanawasa family can say now is ‘tubafundeko, bene bakayonawile bamwisho ba Patiliki!’.

    • the late LPM had his on times with mr Sata,and u dont expect his son to hate Sata unless in you,u keep records of wrongs and thats where all you decisions are made

  25. Patrick, simply keep quiet when the elderly people are talking to you, there are more issues affecting the youth of zambiaof which you can talk about freely. wise up young man.

  26. Good evening

    Patrick’s situation reminds me of someone who’s trying to remove a nut from the shell. If he squeezes too tightly, he could damage the nut inside when the shell cracks. He will end up with a useless mixture of nut and shell. It takes wisdom, temperance and sensitiveness to crack a nut properly – and to achieve most of our goals in life.

  27. Just commenting on this f00l called PM is really a waste of time. Writing a story about him is even more fo0lish. Who the heck is he?

  28. Cabbage junior is not expected to be loyal to Mr Muteteka who is only married to his step-mothers sister. The relationship is too distant but that does not subtract from the fact that he is becoming increasingly insolent the more he associates with the PF/POST

  29. SHILISHANI KANSHI,LEAVE THE BOY ALONE,THATS WHAT HAPPENS IN POLITIC,U COME OUT OPEN AND SPEAK OUT ABOUT WRONG THINGS YOUR OPPONENT IS DOING.U ARE JUST MAKING HIM MORE POPULAR,GO ON PATRICK PIPO ALWAYS TALK SH.I.T NO MATTER WHAT,BE STRONG.THE BOY JUST SAID THE TRUTH ABOUT RB,THATS ALL. 

  30. What so special about this guy kanshi??? To me, he is a nonentity who does not require any special coverage from the media. He is not a politician. He is just trying to ride on his father’s popularity. No one is going to vote for him. If he thinks he is very popular let him go and contest in Lusaka central or munali contituency. He wants to get his first job as an MP???? I understand he is a John isaulye ubwali. At 28 yrs he has never achieved anything apart from drinking beer everyday.

  31. how can a serious uncle go on media and talk about this issue and by the way is also politician who has a cake to defend moses muteteka is not best family member to advice.

  32. the philosophy of attack to destroy opposition is not working because the group has become too big, that is sata, mulongoti, mpombo, masebo, mangani, mwanawasa. if you check properly you will realise mmd is lossing stamina everyday only remain is propaganda after breaking of pact thought will be easy but it has become too hot. if we count how many has remained vocal in mmd apart from RB himself and Dora and Vice is lossing substance that why we hear in chipata resolve on corrupting people not ot attend the rally. sata is not a simple politican and no one will surpass this man in politics of zambia whether rules or not.

  33. Mr Muteteka I advise you to keep family issue out of politics or else you will divide your family. Patrick did not utter those words on behalf of the family.Those where his own views and we all know that it had nothing to do with the Mwanawasa family, but you seem to be drugging the family into the political arena which is very dangerous ba Mudala. 
    Patrick is a grown up man who has decided to take up the career of a politician and you as a family member should respect him. If you have any concerns about Patrick, kindly meet him in the political arena because you are also a politician, but I advise you to be prepared bcoz the young man seems to be very good at this game of politics.Ask Kavindele.

  34. I like Patrick’s strategy of winning a rural conservative constituency such as Kafulafuta – insult your own family and your elders! Yes, that is the kind of MP that the villagers of the area will endorse…. Yes Patrick, those Lambas will definitely support a man who once rudely asked your father not to speak ‘ifitundu’, when he spoke ichiLamba to him. I wonder how many times Patrick has actually been to Kafulafuta? Why is he not articulating the needs and aspirations of the people there as opposed to fighting his own blood? For example, it would be interesting to know just what the people there feel about mobile hospitals or the state and quality of primary schools in the area. Anyways, Patrick you seem to have your own idiosyncratic ways of getting people to vote for you.

  35. Hello Patrick As  a PF supporter I urge you to attend the family meeting. You must express your  obJections there. How you do that manifests your maturity. Don’t  play to the gallery.

  36. Mr Muteteka you are a hypocrete. You are obviously attacking Sata openly and supporting RB. Why can’t Patrick isue political statements as he sees views the political arena? Patrick is an emaging politician, let him make his own mistakes. Did you ever advise his father when he joined the political scene??

    Leave the boy alone. you don’t qualify as his advisor as you are MMD.

  37. LET PATRICK COOL DOWN, THE SUMMONING BY HIS FAMILY WILL NOT HELP AT ALL BUT IT WILL MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE HIS BLOOD IS YOUNG AND YOUNG BLOOD ALWAYS BOILS SO LET HIM COOL DOWN FIRST AND THATS THE WAY TO DO THINGS WHEN YOU ARE DEALING WITH YOUNG PEOPLE OF TODAY.

  38. Japan womens soccer team wins womens world cup even after tsunami. What excuse does Zambia have? F$#ck@!g losers

  39. Sorry to confess but i tend to think Alabee is best for zed at the moment, he is definetly not perfect but miles ahead of Sata in all areas. My point is; cabbage junior is winning whatever party he chooses to stand on, he sounds like a clever boy to me and i think his focus is on presidency not this mundane win to become an MP. He has calculated that as a PF MP in the opposition (he knows sata is going nowhere) his voice will be louder as he opposes Alabee in the next five years. As for PF he has already shown signs that he is a ‘rebel MP’ in making…….he eyes the shoes of Machungwa for next five years.

  40. Patrick
    Honour your parents so that you may have long life. If you became an MP, will you going to meet your constituency committee? With that attitude, I doubt. Please cool down young man I hate to see you embarrassed and abandoned by those who are now using you and your money as they advance their political agenda.

  41. Patricks problem is psychological. He strong feels his fathers legacy and hard work has been hijacked by RB who is now using it for campaign. Most of us would behave the same way if in the same position and therefore he needs a lot of help and support to come to terms with what is happening. He is not going to behave normally but like a man whose wife has been caught committing adultery. Have met such a man? then u will understand Patrick.

    • Patrick has not accepted that his father is very dead and further that his father was not carrying out a personal vision but a national vision so let him so my dad this, my dad that, rubbish. Get on with your own life boy and stop dreaming that daddy will rise again!

  42. The truth shall set you free.when i was young ,my family told me that we had to fellowship at a family church.let the young man follow his heart.

  43. Patrick just need guidance…he is a small cub in a pride of male Lions.. he needs a PR media consultant Asap!!

    • I agree – it irks me how people steal/copy user names too. LT should introduce a system to register its members like many other discussion forums have.

    • My friend just attach a photo to your name via Gravatar?.com that keeps away some of  these imposters who lack creativity!!

  44.  Let the young man be! Why are not telling the one who is insulting people everyday and responsible for the suffering masses. Mr. Muteteka is just an hungry man. Go PF Go Patrick and God Bless you! 

  45. Muteteka is the one that must be summoned by the Muteteka family for neglecting what his brother inlaw LPM stood for.What principles or morals does Muteteka possess?The same individual was championing the fight against corruption under LPM but flipped and was justifying plunder of national resources within RB`s govt.Removal of the abuse of office clause was passionately supported by Muteteka.Muteteka is a morally bankrupt individual who has no right to represent the Mwanawasa family.He is simply married to Maureen`s sister.There`s no blood relation with Patrick.Leave the young man alone.His late dad could be proud of him for not being a sell out or a bootlicker.

  46. It is said that young men think old men are fools but old men KNOW young men are fools.I wish this young man was riding to political fame on his own right thru his own achievements but,alas he’s not even achieved anything own his own.Yet he’s ready to trash and disrespect wise counsel from the same family’s fame he’s hoping to use to gain a seat.Young man remember wisdom always trumps intelligence everytime and those you’re disregarding have lived and seen further than you.You’re just a burning rocket.

  47. It is true that we all should respect our parents and listen to our families and respect elders; but which parents has patrick dishonoured here? Mr. Muteteka is Patrick’s political opponent, who is trying to depopularise the boy by hiding in the clothes of a “family member”, using Lusaka times as a tool of propaganda against the boy. Muteteka is also an opponent of the late Levy because he is on the side of RB who has been trying to reverse everything that Levy stood for, so muteteka is a snake in the grass, whose interest is his stomach and in teasing the boy so rudely. Go ahead Patrick you are alright…….lets go forward with the youth revolution……to hell with RB and to hell with Sata your time is up you failures…!!!!

  48. The young boy called a spade as a spade pliz let him exercise his freedom of speech, nothing crazy about been arrogant. Besides he used english , there is nothing like BA rupiah in english.

  49. Muteteka is the one playing to the Galary, he wants to please his Boss RB. If Muteteka Genuinly wanted to advise Patrick he should have done that away from the media. He is full of S*******t

  50. What are you going to counsel Patrick Muteteka,you opinion is about MMD and Patrick oPionion is about PF,If you really mean it,Start first by counselling Chanda Cimba,chifire,kalusa and the group.Dont cheat councilling,when you want to buy him.Viva Patrick.

  51. P. Mwanawasa has the potential that he is miss applying and this will make him squander his inherited political fortunes and opportunities. The best thing for him was to remain in MMD because RB was appointed by his late father and he can still take care of him. Patrick should also cooperate with his family despite the political differences. We can not call term his hard utterances fresh political blood the language is crude. If its about the alleged fuel he received from councilor Kamanga in Kitwe, Patrick was just given and their no reason for him to refuse. I don’t see how RB was involved in those things. Probably, education is required to better interpret issues. Patrick seek advice from the wise, otherwise you will not go very far in your life and never Jump your real AGE

  52. Moses Muteteka is trying to cow Patrick so that they are seen by RB to be working on the side of RB. patrick mwandi GO on and critisize RB. Zambians tool docile and scared of the unknown. RB kuya bebele 2011.

  53. Moses Muteteka is trying to cow Patrick so that they are seen by RB to be working on the side of RB. Patrick mwandi GO on and critisize RB. Zambians too docile and scared of the unknown. RB kuya bebele 2011. Already grandfather RB stole Thandie from her own age mates how do u respect such foolishness. Thandie once gave an interview, she was eated LIVE by grandfather RB and she fell pregnant. Mudala alilya LIVE akanono.

  54. Muteteka are you sure you dont agree that HE RB is as young Patrick describes him or you are just trying to protect you ka job that am sorry you will not be having after elections? Lets assume Patrick had said Ba Sata was arrogant or sturbon Muteteka wud you have said the boy was insulting?Muteteka play you cards well, in next few months Patrick will be MP and Deputy Minister under PF and you will be just an MMD youth Chairman without any one under you becoz all youths are dumping that MMD of yours.Lets go Patrick tell them they cant bring you down after all Muteteka dill not even be voting from your Constituency PABWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Viva PF

  55. That’ your place will ever be here commenting on this fora. Who told you success rides on confort. So your fears are that the young man will suffer in the future? That’ s you will ever be the way you are and that’s why you suport) coz you are scared of change and the future. Future success takes sacrifice smeimes even family. Mandela lost wife and many of his close allies but he is a hero. Leave patrick alone you loosers and conformists.ndela lost wife and many of his close allies but he is a hero. Leave patrick alone you loosers and conformists.

  56. LPM was a corrupt man who appointed all his relatives to jobs from foreign service, home affaris, energy, state house and the like..he thrived on nepotism…As far as Partick is concerned here is a man who thinks education is not important hence he has not bothered to complete a basic paper..when he is not in politics what will he do…when Levy left government not once but twice he went to his law firm..Patrick will go back to polo grill and remember the days he was in charge…poor boy and what a shame..enjoy your youth whilst you can…

  57. PATRICK on the issue of politics the choice is yours no one can interfere,but respect for the family and mature language these we wont let you disgress the lambas NO take time for those who happen to know you, you are too young to behave this way.and who told you that in kafulafuta we dont have people to lead for us to go for you.NAMWEBO KU KAFULAFUTA UKO MULI KELELE ABAKULU BALI PI MWALEKA ULUKEKE LWAMAILO ULU LULU KU TUSEBANYA KANI MWAFILWA ILAMBA LIKULU LABILENI TWISE TUTUNGULULE.

  58. PEOPLE ARE NOW PANICKIN BECAUSE PATRICK IS ON BOARD…….LET PATRICK EXPRESS HIMSELF HOWEVR HE PLEASES HAD IT BEEN REMARKS ISSUED AT SATA RUPIAH WOLD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST ONE TO SAY THE YOUNG MAN IS RITE CHI SATA NICHO FUNTA SO BABA NDIMWE AUZILAPO VAYIPA its called politics go on patrick express yourself go on and win that sit i give you my blessing forget abt maureen and her daughters who have sidelined you all this while now is your time to shine

  59. If the Mwanawasa family is so cultured and well mannered why are they summoning Patrick through the media and furthermore why use his political adversaries? If the family genuinely feel that Patrick has really brought the family name into disrepute let them find a more sober minded elder to reprimand him not his auntie MMD NEC member and this Muteteka an MMD member too.

  60. I have always doubted Patrick’s sanity. His recent pronouncements have only helped to reinforce my doubts about his mental stability. That’s all I can say.

  61. Patrick will suffer the way Chiluba’s sons suffered after their father left government. Wait for 2012.

  62. “Most people have also seen the removal of the Abuse of Public Office clause from the laws on corruption as a step backwards in the fight against corruption.” Please let us learn to read, this clause has not been removed from the Laws of Zambia. For instance, the Anti-Corruption Act no 38 of 2010 defines corruption as “Corrupt means the soliciting, accepting, obtaining, giving, promising or offering of a gratification by way of a bribe or other personal temptation or inducement, or the misuse, or abuse of a public office for private advantage or benefit contrary to section ninety-nine of the Penal Code.” **************

  63. Whether or not Patrick has the right to speak his mind freely (as he does) or to criticize a democratically elected President however he wants (as he should), this whole episode speaks poorly of his political judgment and maturity. To be successful in politics, you simply cannot put your finger in the face everyone you disagree with and must show better problem solving skills than to throw petrol on a fire.

    If this fellow is indeed a “rising star” as some would have us believe this behaviour does no good to his party either. PF is already perceived by many as a dictatorial party whose members cannot listen to advice and have no policies other than to complain that everything is bad and to dream of vengeance against their former bosses…. why behave according to this stereotype?

  64. Youngman that’s the way to go, don’t listen to those Mwanawasa Family hypocrites, they just want their Jobs. It is your right and no one can push you around. By the way just Tell that Muteteteka that he is not a Mwanawasa and should stay away.

    Good that they are making you much more popular.

  65. So when I say that Micheal Sata teti ankwanishe ninshi namutuka? Replace MC with RB, is it still an insult? 

  66. Ba Guy who is more arrogant between Dora and Pat?i think Pat is better and he is a force to reckon with,just wait and see,the boy speaks sense and many will be injured on the way.aliba stead umwaice and he is not cabbage.Go pat go.we have another lamba bull after Lupunga

  67. Those who are pushing Patrick ahead in his behaviour are only destroying the youngman’s career and future. The youngman has lost direction if at all he had one.

  68. Young Pat is okay in my view like somebody already mentioned here. Muteteka is MMD and Young Pat is PF so whats the issue. these are two oppossing sides. theres no respect in politics thats why we dont say ba RB as old as he is, we refer to him as RB tapali ifyo alechita.go young man.

  69. Are there no wise people in PF to guide this young man? It appears there’s none. What shall we say then, shall anything good come out of PF?

  70. This Toddler is a misfit, How can you confide in the people who have awayz insulted your biological DAD? MHSRIP. Wake up and go to school, don’t waste tym namafontini yamu PF a bunch of illitrates. Rewrite your G12 , If your Father was insulted, wat more you under five? Sata is and will never be your relative, He wants to use yu to win him Lambaland, which you will never win. Isukulu lisuma do not rub shoulders na Grade 4.Blood is thicker than water.

  71. its ok,time will take good care of you young man,just like it did to others,what eva goes high always comes down,its a pit that you 4get yo on mouth wen eating in darkeness.

  72. Mr Muteteka why didnt you call Patric on his cell phone instead of going to the press???? what type of an Uncle are u???? kolwe iwe.

  73. Patrick is not a boy! He is a man who has chosen his path. Are family members supposed to decide the political destiny of all in the family? He may have used strong words to describe some useless politicians but I wouldn’t call it ‘insults’. That is the problem with a society that still thinks wisdom and knowledge is only the preserve of the elderly – and in the process suppresses thinking in the young. If anything, it is good to allow the young’s critical minds to flourish. It is a tragedy when the youth are ‘shut up’ and end up not using much of their brain potential (becoming clueless and senile at a tender age)

  74. Mr Patrick Mwanasa

    Kindly attend the family summons but you got to be more careful, the counsel will not be what you want to hear but it can be great chance to know your enemies from your family side. Mr Moses Muteteka next time when you feel like counseling your nephew don’t use the media.

  75. You are Just doing fine God is with you!! you have all the rights to do what you feel is right Go P show them what you are made of…

  76. Bamwisho ba Patrick just listen to your family as N. 1 said. Your party described  Mr. HH as a under five. what about you? age and political experience bamwisho?

  77. # 71 Mpanda mano, i like your LAMBA language how i wish you could go on and on, but on A serious note, Patrick is a grown up person who should be given chance to lead the people of KAFULAFUTA,please people let us learn to appreciate different views, imagine if the same sentiments Patrick used to RB were attributed to SATA was MUTETEKA going to open is mouth and call for a family meeting? lets us learn to be real and not JOKERS

  78. Evelyn you are the one who started this useless debate so find a solution to it. And you Patrick go back to your famiy now and tell them off if you so wish. Advise your aunt not to rush to the press just because she needs a job. What a divided family.

  79. The pipo complaining over Patricks comments are those close to arrogant RB. Calling an arrogant person arrogant is not a sign of disrespect. Its simply stating a fact. Is RB not arrogant. Live Patrick alone. If Patrick was in MMD and happen to have called Sata arrogant all the vuvuzelas would have been quite. The only crime Patrick ahs committed is that he has poked them and now the want to please their master. Like an well behave child, Patrick has the right to defend his fathers name which these so called uncles and aunties have failed to defend. If they mean well, why go to the media to annouce that we have summoned him?

  80. Patrick will not win in Kafulafuta. Mpombo knew he can win hence his stepping aside, hoping to be nominated if PF forms government. This goat, Patrick thinks by being adopted by PF he is destined to be President one day. His arrogance is nauseating and only putting people off.

  81. Moses Muteteka should just keep zee and enjoy the fruits of his ministerial position owing to RB and leave Patrick alone as he takes to politics. Family matters are familyand we respect them. Let me remind Moses and those that think like him coz to be a Republican President is serious business and nobody forced RB to stand for that postion. He voluntered to serve the Zambian people as Servant No. 1 thats why he enjoys all those benefits and tax free salary in addition to 24hrs VIP security a day for 365 days. He chose to lead us and he want to continue leading us so he should be ready to face criticism from all angles of Zambia. Moses you are not MMD or GRZ spokes person. Talk to your Patrick in private not thru media. Once u enter politics there is no age limit but what one contributes

  82. THIS IS POLITICS MWEBANTU. TEKUNG’ANDA  IYO. PEOPLE IN POLITICS ARE ALWAYS ON EACH OTHER’S NECKS -AGE REGARDLESS.

    OUT OF THE MEDIA LIMELIGHT THEY EMBRACE EACH OTHER WITH HUGS, EAT AND DRINK TOGETHER. LETS NOT BE NAIVE. THE FAMILY JUST WANTS TO MAKE AN ISSUE OUT OF NOTHING. 

    THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT TO APPEAR AS THE DO GOODERS, DO YOU WANT THE NEW GENERATION OF YOUNG POLITICIANS TO BE VOICELESS AND NOT CRITICAL AT ALL. GET A LIFE PLIZI

  83. What is so fascinating is how these MMD cadres whether here on LT or back in Zambia can be perturbed by someone just saying Banda will not bring me down or he is stubborn. These are the same people who have made a hallmark in insulting Hon Sata, President of the biggest party in Zambia. Some of them as they even castigate Patrick are still calling Hon Sata – Satan. And they say the boy is too young to say such things to elders. Is Sata age mates to these MMD buffoons here on LT? So it is ok to say all you want to elders in opposition, but not ok to call Banda stubborn? Give me a break. Leave the boy alone, you buffoons who are bent on jealousy and are doing it for benefit of your failed president banda. Yes, small p for president and small b for banda. banda the child molester.

  84. This reminds me of Castro Chiluba(MHSRIP)…The boy was neva educated,was busying insulting elders and the least he could do was to go for scholaship at any University of his choice in the world..He had that opportunity as the father was the president(MHSRIP)
    Years after the boy was all over driniking Chibuku,rejected by the family and bein looked at like a bottle picker.In short as much as Patrick wants to develop a political career he shouldnt forget the family…The little money you inheritated put it to good use or else u will remain broke for the rest of your life:)>-

  85. Most people have commented enough. Family members are very important. Patrick is young and handsome. He will soon srew some ones daughter and he will need guidance from his family members. The family members can easily decampaign him in kafulafuta. Infact, Mwanawasa has roots in Chibombo and Kapiri mposhi and not Kafulafuta. Wabe inchunsu mwaice.

  86. Mature members of PF, if existing in this Party, must be too worried over the calibre of their new recruit in the name of Patrick Mwanawasa. The boy is too arrogant. But if Zambians are to believe that PF cadres are identified with barbarism, then Patrick will speed up the rate of defections from PF to join UPND, UNIP or MMD that cherish cultures of civilised behaviour. Shakafuswa is spoiling the boy as his behaviour at Parliament Motel irritated Levy. Patrick’s biological mother must intervene to counsel her son. Patrick must reflect on the root cause of his father’s fatal road accident in Lusaka. Patrick’s fate can easily be plotted by die-hard PF cadres if this arrogant boy ventures to extend his insolence to Sata in a manner that could seem to threaten PF’s political luck.

  87. When the late president was still alive, Patrick was not a factor or was not close to the Father. I was wondering to why?,and how, but now i know its because the young man is disgrantled and disrespectiful to elders.

    God have mercy deliver Patrick from the Demonic serpent in him.

  88. IAM A CLOSE FAMILY MEMBER OF THE MWANAWASAS. I WANT TO ASSURE THE NATION THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO SUCH A THING AS SUMMONING PATRICK BY THE FAMILY. THE MMD IS JUST FEELING THE HEAT AND THE ONLY WAY IS TO PULL THE BOY DOWN IS BY USING MUTETEKA A
    FAKE UNCLE. MMD IS USING ALL TACTICS TO TRY AND REDUCE THE PRESSURE THAT HAS ENGULFED THEM. PATRICK AS YOUR REAL UNCLE IAM WITH YOU AND DONT LISTEN TO MUTETEKA’S MMD.

  89. Zambians you are strange than fiction………. a while ago you were advocating for young leaders when expressing disappointment of recycled so called old politicians and now that a brilliant Patrick has started the ball rolling, you are all busy character assassinating him instead of rather correct the wrong direction with an intent of pushing forward younger generations into politics as we boost we are the educated ones……. where is the patriotisms in this….Zambians really what do you want…..first you can’t see that MMD has ruled us 20 years and hatred is hindering PF a chance to rule, secondly can’t support younger men who need guidance than more condemnation….who are we “Kanshi” what do we want ….. are we supporting the same genuine causes….someone please shade light

    • We are not against Patrick or any other young people aspiring to be leaders but they must be ready to follow the concept. It is not only about being controversial, it matters quite a lot how a young man conducts himself towards the elders in our society.

  90. I was beginning to like him, but achita ova….he may now end up destroying his political career before it even begins.

  91. Patrick is 28 years old and I think that is old enough to make his own decisions in the political arena. Criticising RB is not insulting! Patrick has different view of things and in a democracy people should be allowed that freedom. You dont expect everyone to sing praises for RB. THe Mwanawasa family should grow up and let Patrick walk as an independent man. Balefwaya bakamufwaile no mwanakashi wakupa!!!

  92. Bashetani, leave the young man alone. Learn to distingush insults from critics otherwise go to hell, marry devils and produce demons.

  93. IMWE LEAVE PATRICK ALONE LET HIM EXERCISE HIS RIGHTS! RB IS USING HIS FAMILY TO BRING HIM DOWN DOWN UP2 THE GRAVE.RB IS JUST MISUSING OUR RESOURSES WITH PIPO LIKE DORA THE EXPLORER!CHANGE IS NEEDED ,AT PATRICK’S AGE ,HE IS STILL ENERGETIC AND POLITICS BEGINS AT HIS AGE….SAME WITH FOOTBALL HOW CAN U START PLAYING AT THE AGE OF 73?UR ORED OLD ISNT IT?U START PRACTICING AT A YOUNGER AGE NTILL UR N TH NATIONAL TEAM SO SAME APPLIES.ALL THE STEP MOTHERS ARE JEALOUSY ABOUT HIM,IF HE WAS THEIR SON NO SUMMUNS WOULD HAVE CAM HIZ WAY!I! ALA THIS YEAR NIKAFWAFWA CHIBE CHIBE UMO ALENG’ONTA!!!!!!

  94. Patrick is stupid and should not use his fathers name to lose respect to anyone in Power. Young boy you should have respect. Caladho
