FORMER republican President Levy Mwanawasa’s eldest son Patrick’s brother, Paul, says his sibling should have consulted the family before joining the Patriotic Front (PF) because its president, Michael Sata, was hostile towards their father when he was alive.
And MMD women have urged Patrick Mwanawasa to respect President Banda, First Lady Thandiwe and elders.
Paul Mwanawasa said in an interview in Ndola on Wednesday he hopes Patrick will use respectful language following the meeting the family held on Sunday.
“Patrick should have consulted the family before joining the PF because the PF leader (Mr Sata) never liked the late President Mwanawasa. As the family we respect his political rights, but he should have at least consulted the family,” Paul said.
He said after the meeting the Mwanawasa family expects Patrick to change his political language and show respect for elders in the political arena.
He said Patrick’s lack of respect for elders had gotten out of hand, and the family had to bring him back to his senses.
“As the Mwanawasa family, we had to call for a meeting with Patrick before things got worse because his political language was also indirectly affecting the family, and we hope after the meeting Patrick will speak with respect,” Paul said.
He said Patrick should have consulted his family before joining the opposition Patriotic Front (PF) because the party’s president was not on good terms with the late President Mwanawasa even at the time of his demise.

Daily Mail: Ba Fi *************
Pual please; your father and Sata had policy differences and nothing personal. If Patrick finds that his political aspirations and the policies of PF are in congruent he needs needs to be supported especially by you and the rest of the family. If you cant stand the heat get out of the kitchen. Let Patrick exercise his freedom of speech without attrition.
It was not policy differences. They had personal differences. Do you forget the ECZ affair? They used to ridicule each other on personal things and not policies.
Ok. Now I am really pissed off by this. Once and for all, we dont give a s.h.i.t what the Mwanawasa family does, who consulted who and so forth. They are irrelevant to the broader issues facing Zambians.
LT this better be the last you are reporting about this or I am suing you for mental torture.
as though the mwanawasa family are the king makers! atase
walasa boyi
Confirm, all this talk is making young patrick think his family own Zambia
Respect is EARNED and NOT commanded. After all, the use of unpalatable language is an accepted norm in Zambian politics.
And who the HELL is this Paul?? YAKUNYOKOLA NJALA TE?????
As a republican president, is it in order for him to make fun of some citizens that “yamunyokola njala”? Isnt that unpalatable language from a statesman?
Party membership, as church affiliation transcends family.
So ba Paul was paid a lot of money to do that interview with Daily mail. Patrick, just stand your ground and show then how politics is all about. Viva mwaiche!
There is a Paul Mwanawasa I have always known to be a nephew to the late Levy. I strongly suspect he is the one in question here and this could be a consequence of how we traditionally relate to our cousins in Zambia, esp first cousins we take the assumption that they are brothers/sisters, ZDM could have taken it like that.
Am not sure if my memory saves me right! All along I have read and known that Patrick was mwanawasa’s eldest son! Who the hell is Paul? Where has is been?
Son of the “MOTHER OF ALL CORRUPTIONS”.
#3 suing you for mental torture………..LOL
Ni Journalism of Poverty pa Zambia. This is not about Patrick it’s about the Mwanawasa family members feeling the heat that Patrick attacks on Banda might coz them lose their jobs.
Patrick, way to go my man. Let’s go and escort Abwezani back to his farm, with his teacher wife. I feel sorry for Thandiwe knowing pretty well his husband will be very old in 5 years time to continue satisfying her. This is what you get if young women do not respect there fathers and end up marrying them
IS MWANAWASA FAMILY A FACTOR IN ZAMBIAN POLITICS? VERY FUNNY
Repetitive reporting…saying them things
LT give us proper news not this trash. What is the latest in Malawi?
vry funy…. What is paul mwanawasa? Have never heard of him…. Can this paul leave mwanawasa patrick jnr alone.
Chi rb was the first to start insulting the young ones…. This family is feeling the heat because they know thet are loosing ground in mmd and may end up loosing up their jobs… Shame. These *****s neglected the young man and now they want to show as if they care atase…. Next he is winning and yu shall all bow before him and ask for forgiveness after chewing his father’s money. You think we dont know what has happened?
On ““As the Mwanawasa family, we had to call for a meeting with Patrick before things got worse because his political language was also indirectly affecting the family, and we hope after the meeting Patrick will speak with respect,” Paul said” I am glad that the Mwanawasa family quickly tried to help Patrick who seems to be learning foul manners from the PF leader, Under standard 5, Micheal Chilufya Sata who claims to have two education university degrees which the PF Magazine or post has failed to publish to the Nation.
B blest.

Good you are back on seen Mahestro. Know that your under 5 president will go under never to resurrect again in Zambian politics. I have already counted 51 parliamentary seats to the credit of mighty PF under the leadership of Michael Chilufya Sata after MMD announced their line up. I can see more seats coming the PF way.
paul ci colour where are from???
No. 10 you are right, am also surprised of were this Paul is coming from. In all the tabloid we had been told that Patrick is the eldest son of Levy and today we are hearing about Paul the Octopus. Anyway the boy Patrick needs to tone down, there was no need of him attacking RB and wife over his fuel dealings with the Kitwe mayor. Well done family members for lecturing this boy
Kwa Mtonyo he was mentioned why shud he keep quite, quietness would have meant he used the fuel!! Let him express himself chifume ku mutima
Who is this Paul kanshi ? i have never heard about him , leave Patrick to make his own decisions he is not a baby for crying out loud .
wat is so special about one making a decision about yo life? we are all our own drivers,we drive to our own destiny.we are the authors of our lives not anyone.Leave the young man alone please.Who in the political arena has not been insulted by their opponets? so wat is so special about Mwanawansa have been insulted by Sata coz even himself Mwanawansa spoke bad things about Sata.now i see,of the two Brothers, Patrick is more Mature coz he understands the language of Politicians that is why he never hesitated to join anyone who he thot would work well with him.as for that man Paul let him go back to where he has come from.Patrick dont be intimadated, the choice u made is very timely.It is just a mata of time, the same people yo family will come back to u and plead with u.viva Patrick
We are told that Patrick is Dr Levy Mwanawasa’s eldest son. And now ‘dead Mail’ reports that Paul is Patrick’s elder brother. Can somebody clarify please?
Now to the issue at hand, Patrick has evey right to belong to any political party he wants. The advice given to Patrick to tone down on attacks to the elders is acceptable. I wish youngsters like chifine, chanda chimba etc should do the same to respect Mr Sata who is an elderly man.
sibling is a brother or sister ba daily snail imwe.
The PF die-hards must hold their guns and reflect responsibly on the affair of Levy Mwanawasa’s Family. It is a mark of highest levels of deception for Sata & his PF cadres to place a wedge of divide-and-rule in this Family. It is politically cunning for PF to mislead Patrick for their on selfish political gains at the peril of the boy. Outsiders should merely respect the arguments advanced by Paul Mwanawasa. The Family is instilling the best advice to their own kith-&-kin. Zambians have a strong culture which entails that in the event of death of any individual, it will be the biological relatives that matter in making decisions on how best to conduct funeral rituals. Let the Mwanawasa Family prevail over their prodigal Son. Patrick is entiled fo a descent family life.
True # 21, can someone sit Chanda Chimba, Lifwekelo, Cifine and other PF citisisers down. Only then will it make sense for them to advise others to tone down.
You cant lead level headed Zambians with such silly utterances from SATAN AND HIS CADRES
Paul it is either you are dull or you don’t leave in zambia or you where paid or whole of the above,to win an election in zambia you don’t talk about issues or you will never win and that’s how these old politician have taught us so your so called brother i mean your step brother is in the game only that he is young but it is the same rules it is like saying Messi can’t be dribblering elders he has no respect,same game same rules.zed politics is a big joke.
I believe Patrick learned his arrogance from his association with MMD. Its only in MMD that even after being dissuaded from procuring loans on mobile hospitals, they defied common sense and went ahead.
Numerous single sourcing scandals, insatiable appetite and unquenchable thirst for corruption etc….
It does not surprise me that Patrick now behaves the way he does, all due to MMD.
Please stop the hypocrisy ba MMD.
Who is this Paul and under which stone has he crawled out from? If my memory serves me right, which I know it does, late President Mwanawasa PUBLICLY reconciled with Mr. Michael Sata at State House. Now this Paul guy is saying Sata hated Mwanawasa up to the time of his demise. Kaya which stone he was under when the reconciliation took place…
The intervention of Paul Mwanawasa on the plight of Patrick must be respected. Even politicains such as Mangani, Masebo, Mpombo and Mulongoti know very well that Sata has had no respect for Levy Mwanawasa in life and after his demise (MHSRIP). Such people have no feelings for the Mwanawasa’s Family? We wonder what algebraic equations do such clique of politicians display to Levy. This class of newly recruited PF supporters is just demonstrating highest levels of selfishness. If Sata has any remnant of wisdom in his mind-set, now is the time to demonstrate it and stop misleading Patrick. Zambians are wondering as to whether PF is best defined by membership of these new comers at the exclusion of the older members that have supported Sata since the inception of the PF. Food for thought.
Mwana wasa and Sata re conciled.. so you do not know.
Zambia is not a police state so commands shall not be heeded. We say no to commands home and abroad.
How many Children did late Mwanawasa have?
#29!
PETER MULENGA ULI CHIPUBA!
I WONDER WHICH SCHOOL YOU WENT TO.WHEN A CONFLICT OCCUR TWO PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED,LATE CABBAGE WAS AS WELL ARROGANT TO SATA AND OTHER POLITICIANS..DON’T YOU JUST KNOW THAT POLITICIANS MAKE NOISE ON MEDIA AND RALLY’S YET EVENING TIME THEY DRINK TOGETHER?WHEN SUCH SHALLOW MINDED BOYS LIKE YOU TALK SUCH RUBBISH ON LINE AND CLAIM ZAMBIANS ARE “WONDERING”…… I AM MEANT TO BELIEVE THAT ZAMBIANS THINK FAR BETTER THAN THIS HENCE YOUNG MAN..WATCH YOUR TONGU.
A person with low morales has little values including family values..LPM left a confused family because of his three women in his life the result well see how some of them conduct themselves in public..people have forgetful memories recall how Maureen embraced her ‘blood’ children at the burial site for Levy..what you are seeing is what she had to put with for a longtime..disrespect..but as long as Chibumba was alive Partick would never behave the way he is..a loose cannon..but he has no education worth speaking about..see the difference between him and Chipo…
I totally agree with # 29- Peter Mulenga. This is the kind of logic that political parties, worth their salt must project. The electorate are anxious to know who, among the contending Presidential candidates would best solve their aspirations and guarantee them a decent future. Elements of insults are scaring away many voters from Sata and his PF fleet of kaponyas. The best choice for Zambians is between HH and RB who have consistently displayed maturity and wisdom to the electorate. Sata’s destiny is headed for HELL.
#2 Amano mapulili,
Was it a policy matter for SATA to call Late Mwanawasa as CABBAGE because of Late Mwanawasa’s illness which happened as a suspicious accident?
Any way thank you for giving the Zambians the chance to see how wise or foolish Patrick is and how much love or hate he had for his Late father -THROUGH THE CHOICE PATRICK HAS TAKEN OVER THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PERSON AND PARTY WHICH SINGLE HANDEDLY TORMENTED HIS BIOLOGICAL FATHER.
Mwaiche Paulo…stay ou of this.
Kwena paul******** mwe! where the hell is he coming from mwebantu? We never heard of this *****! He has been paid CDF…..njala yangena ka. He has joined the lifwekelo group
kwati pali naka family, baye uko ba mumbwe, twanaka
SATA/PF tormented Late Mwanawasa m.h.s.r.i.p.and SATA/PF are continuing tormenting the dead Mwanawasa even in his grave by extending their hate to the Mwanawasa family by even hating to see the Mwanawasa family reconcile and advise one of their on son Patrick.
Iwe Sata reconciled with Mwanawasa and became good friends before Levy went to be with the Lord what are you talking about?
All you PF foul mouthed holigans on this site, so what if you dont know Paul is older than the stupid boy Patrick, no wonder all PF cadres are not educated and are dull like there president satan. VIVA RB VIVA MMD
patrick mwaice mwaice you are a man congrats. Never should u lisen to your ancle, his is a papert.i want to warn the so colled family to leave the young man alone. bushe fwe balamba nindo tukwatile umwenso?patrick u have made lambas proud iwll be there for u all the time
patrick mwaice mwaice you are a man congrats. Never should u lisen to your ancle, his is a papert.i want to warn the so colled family to leave the young man alone. bushe fwe balamba nindo tukwatile umwenso?patrick u have made lambas proud i will be there for u all the time
For sure one council Gregory Cifine (Ntifuntifu), Chanda Chamba, Lifwekeno, Siulapwa and some others befoer you can consider talking to Patrick (the real Levi’s eldest son). Ba Kavindele yaba nyokola njala.
Not the sort of subject I would contribute to, but couldn’t help myself. The humour is amazing. Yes, Patrick has his rights, but what does he stand for? And for him to begin criticizing anyone, let alone RB, has to be rich. VERY RICH.
Let us be honest here. One sees nothing on offer for the people, but Patrick’s opportunism.
The thing that concerns me from reading this thread is the apparent absence of political literacy exhibited by the contributors above. I would like to hear what Patrick’s, and indeed Mr. Sata’s principles are. There appear to be none. We should all be afraid, and I mean VERY AFRAID.
Paul is only Patrick’s cousin and he’s not the sort of person that would give advice to Patrick. I believe Paul is the son to one of the late Levy Mwanawasa’s older brothers who is also the late. Paul is slightly older than Patrick,he grew up in Levy’s house but he was treated like a gardener so he’s not a factor and it is very funny that the govt run and controlled media would waste time to consult him,what a waste of public resources!!! Am sure Patrick must be laughing and so is the Mwanawasa family.hahahahahaha
Paul you have your own destination. If u definedsomeones destination you gona define it small.If one defines his destination he will define it big.
He he he he, kulasekako fye ifwe. Meanwhile NI DONT KUBEBA.
My advice to Paul Mwanawasa is to just join the ARK while its still open, PABWATOOOOOOOO.
these young boys like patrick need to be guided by their elders. coz clearly the young man has no brains at all!
The cabbage and his clan can disappear from the surface of this earth, who needs them ? Let us concentrate on issues affecting Zambians at present
This Chap will be used by the PF (poor Finisshing ) and spat out after its all over..he will regret the words he has used
Too much ifi sele fi PF naimwe.I wonder what the headlines would be if these morons came to power,’SATA DROPS CI KA.LA GBM’ or the lingua in cabinet meetings,’LETS PRAY BAFI.KALA’.
it is you who is insulting are you PF?
Paul is rht even the bible tell us that we should give respect to the elders 4 you patrick to liv longer, paul walikwatamano Amen…
Every man is responsible for his destiny.
I can imagine how my numerous well learned journalist friendz and relativez working for the state media can’t wait for the electionz to pass so that they go back to doing their jobz professionally.
Useless PF kaponyaz. Very nonsensical uneducated crop of their leader and the followers. VIVA RB.
Ha.. Chanda Chimba is one good Historian, who is trying to revisit the past and marry them with the current issues at hand. Yes… we need history in oder for us to reflect on the current and future issues. Point blank on King Cobra’s utterences. You will remember me if you put this Cobra in State House. End of story.
Attitude determines how much of the future we are allowed to see. It decides the size of our dreams and influences our determination when we are faced with new challenges. No other person on earth has dominion over our attitude. People can affect our attitude by teaching us poor thinking habits or unintentionally misinforming us or providing us with negative sources of influence, but no one can control our attitude unless we voluntarily surrender to that control.
World full of wonders where is PAUL THE OCTOPUS coming from? Patrick has no elder brother (according to official records) and if he is there he must be a very dull one for him to go into oblivion only to appear when his father dies. Njala Yakunyokola, am not insulting, like ruler like subjects. I just heard the word from the president. I wonder which MAMBALA (just heard as well) insults people a lot. Daily Maize that wasn’t news!
Icho cikakabova wilaba ati he insulted your Father and mocked the funeral processsion into politics, do you think you will be spared. WAIT MAICHE, WABA ICHUNSU!
So, Patrick actually turned up for the family meeting? Didn’t he say he was not going to, or was I just dreaming?
There is no data,ba daily mail keeps on repeating themselves.
drkipe1yayo (#.34): You will be SHOCKED to know that “Peter Mulenga” is a civilized intellectual possessing three degrees up to PhD level. Stop torturing your conscience. The World is progrssing towards normality in the behaviour of humans and implore people to watch monkeys play in the wild . #. 34 has just unleashed the very unsults that his boss Sata poured on the late Levy Mwanawasa. PF’s policy CONFIRMED! If you were a reletive to Patrick Mwanawasa, I bet you would not tolerate to see Sata insult Patrick’s intellect as we are NOW witnessing. Patrick’s Family have an obligation to counsel their son against straying into the flock of hyenas. The approach of elections is actually revealing the birth of the worst species of wolves that have invaded Africa and Zambia in particular.
Paul is right about his sibling Patrick. All those who doubt Mr Sata’s insulting attitude towards President Levy Mwanawasa should watch Chanda Chimba III’s Stand up for Zambia episode on ZNBC TV for Tuesday last week, and also the episode for this week which was aired on Tuesday, it will be repeated tonight. Mr Sata is seen live at a rally in Mtendere in 2001, the WHOLE rally was about Mr Sata insulting Levy in the worst possible Bemba insults. After watching it I am not surprised at the heart problems of our late president, and why Mr Musa Mwenye (LAZ) wants to intimidate ZNBC and the state media into silence. The expose of Mr Sata really reveals the type of person that he is, his cruelty is simply not human.
Which insults kanshi? What did he say? Saying Rupiah can not stop me,is that an insult? Saying Thandiwe is in my age group? Is that not true? Even I will say Rupiah can not stop me, and Thandiwe is younger than me. Have I now insulted?
Let the PF cadres thrive on insults. The intellectuals will counter barbarism by consistently preaching a humanistic approach and civilized way of presenting political discourse in Zambia. We now know who you are. SATA and Musa MWENYE (strange name in Zambia) can retire to their home in Tanzania, having learnt that Zambians are trully Christians.
Patrick is of age. Let him exercise his rights, for goodness’ sake! He has decided to join the political league. Let all those playing in the league regard him as a peer. If he were to be elected as MP, would Zambians expect any less from him than from the older MPs?
In the political arena, as in any other area of endeavour, respect should be accorded because of good character, performance and effectivness in solving problems, and not meerly because of the number of times one has gone round the sun!
It is worth analysing the authenticity and origin of some Zambian names. Chewas have such sirnames as Phiri, Banda; the Nsenga have names Lungu, Ngulube; the Bisa & Lala have typical names Changwe, Chibale, Kunda, Mwansa; Bembas have names Mulenga, Musonda; Tongas have names Haabenzu, Mudeda, Mwiinga; Lozis have names Liyoka, Mwiya, Simasiku; Lundas & Luvales have names Chinyama, Kalenga. Sirnames linked to clans or ethnic groups are consistently applied in Zambia. Strange names of Sata, Musa, Mwenye are not linked consistently applied in any ethnic groups in Zambia. MWINYI was Tanzanian President. Hence Musa MWENYE’s support for SATA is linked to their Tanzanian origin. Some foreign migrants are grossly abusing the hospitality of Zambians. Do not pollute and erode Zambia’s integrity.
DS malama@67
Get a life, these people are all Zambians like it or not….you can dig as deep as you so wish you won,t achieve anything so stop wasting time and space
And for the record give us your real name cos l don’t think you are Bemba but Tonga of the (HH) tonga tribal party
0 68 SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST (@#. 68. The truth hates dear. Zambians are entitled to know the history to appreciate the dynamics of Zambian politics. Descency must be seen to prevail if we have to raise and nurture our children in a civilized manner. Insults and lies should never be allowed to breed in our Christian country.
Some blogers have lost their brains here. Everything is seen and argued in party lines and not logic. Leave them to teach their child. You were cheering him when he was insulting adults claiming he has the right. Well, they also have the right to teach their child. It’s them he’ll go crying to when he hits the iceberg and the instigators desert him. Some of you praised him when he arrogantly announced he will not attend the family meeting. Well, he did and you’re disappointed he did after all. Allow them to deal with their family problem. Even those misguiding Patric still respect their families just like I hope you all do.
# 51 – Your post justifies my concerns that I raised the other day about your use of the name of the Church on this blog. Please find another name because you are dragging the name of the church in direpute. Your language is far from representative of the church you choose to identify yourself by. It would make sense for you to say whatever you wish without bearing the church identity as you are not representing the church here. In brotherly love please use another name and announce if you wish what your new blog name is. I will continue to pray for you.
I am not religious myself, but I agree with you. Using the name of the church, or any institution,while not representing their views is mis-leading and should be discouraged. In this case it appears to be a mockery.
Elo lwanya! We have seroius issues to attend to as a nation, lets us not lose focus. Pipo that went to state house by hook and crook should not disuade us from important nation issues. First it the Kaunda family, then the Mwanawasa family and very soon it will be the Chiluba family. Please give us break! Nicompoomps!

You only consult people who can give you sound advise not a bunch of ……
Who the hell is bloody Paul to be consulted? Patrick is a civilised, mature, independent Zambian citizen who is supposed to exercise his freedoms. He does not need to call mummy or dull big brother for opinion on who he supports. We have never even heard of this “Paul Bullshit”. Keep going Patrick, Zambian politics loves you.
I Wonder if Zambia Journalists ever watch BBC.CNN,eNEWS or listen to BBC, VOA etc. You expected to report in the most objective and unbiased way to serve the public good. But alas the worst ever. FIRE WILL FOLLOW all of you
YOU, FAMILY MEMBERS ARE OUT OF TOUCH ON SATA/LEVY RELATIONSHIP…….OR ARE YOU CONVINIENTLY FORGETING THAT SATA RECONCILED WITH LEVY BEFORE THE LATER’S DEMISE??……..PLEASE GO TO THE ARCHIVES AND GET UPDATED ON THIS MATTER, FOR YOU’RE SURELY LIVING IN THE PAST……….PATRICK IS A GROWN UP PERSON AND HAS TO MAKE HIS OWN DECISIONS……SINCE HE HAS NOW JOINED POLITICS, HE HAS TO LEARN THE ROPES OF THE GAME, PART OF WHICH IS TO CALL A SPOON A SPOON, SPADE A SPADE, PLUNDERER A THIEF, LIAR A LIAR, STUBBORN A STUBBORN, AND SO ON AND SO FORTH……..
Bafikala twakulamituka na Patrick umundi. Bamustanyoko mwaba amaducha.
Iwe ka Paul, Patrick has told you that his is not a baby, he is as old as Tandiwe Banda the wife to our President and his has a right to opinion just like Tandiwe. Get a life and stop that nonsense.
Bafi-colour twakulamituka na Patrick umunandi. Bamustanyoko mwaba amaducha.
The young man is a lost ship.Before his senses get back,if at all they will,he be bitten by the Spitting Cobra.Otherwise they are all geting most rude shock of their lives this including Namakando Membe
Let Paul tell everyone where Patrick got the Lanuage from. Their late dad was known for his short temper including insults! I know some dont know this but some of us did.
Co what ? Consult for what ,who did you consult before joining MMD,the boy can see light……..you will all eat from his house
nonentities are now the focus of the nation – all thanks to the abuse of the media!
the Mwanawasa family is now officially DIS-FUNCTIONAL.
This Paul guy should be the first cousin. i remember this chap from Mumbwa Secondary School. He is not LPM’s son.
Chanda Chimba III tonight at 20.00hrs, only on ZNBC TV, don’t miss!
#88 You’re correct,that’s the same Paul,it’s so funny that the Zambia Daily Mail could waste time to go and talk to him or even call him. lol
This is rubbish
Should he also consult the family when he is about to go to the loo for a bog???? More so when he wants to bog on the MMD??? Paul well come to the real world, where it is not unnatural to have family disputes, so stop wasting airtime or rather newsprint, we have a campaign on our hand, & Patrick doesn’t need any further distractions!!!
Paul mwanawasa you don’t have to choose the political party which your young brother should belong to.Who helped you find that beautiful wife of yours? Please leave him alone he is an adult
No peace for the wicked. With a son like. Pat who wouldn’t die of stroke?
