United Liberal Party (ULP) president Sakwiba Sikota has described the warning by President Rupiah Banda to Chieftainess Nkomeshya as a timely intervention.

Mr. Sikota who has abandoned his presidential ambitions to accompany President Banda on his campaign trail tells Qfm that the Chieftainess has a right to support any candidate of her choice but that she should refrain from intimidating her subjects.

He has accused Chieftainess Nkomeshya of threatening to strip off the headmen of their titles if they support President Banda and the ruling MMD candidates in the area.

Mr Sikota says such an act is unacceptable in a democratic dispensation.

Mr. Sikota explains that President Banda was forced express his sentiments at a public rally because the traditional leader declined to meet him despite seeking an audience with her.

The ULP leader has since urged headmen in Chieftainess Nkomeshya chiefdom to take legal action against her if they receive any more threats from the traditional ruler.

    Chongwe is MMD’s,with or without Masebo and her aunt (Nkomesha)…Long live MMD.RB,a president for all Zedianz,including ba kaponya!!

  2. Saki you are a disappointment. I think we need laws that will refrain such characters like you from standing on another party without officially leaving the previous one. In anycase, why didn’t you comment on Mwata Kazembe and the many chiefs who have turned to be cadres! Shame on you boot licker!!

  3. Piki piki na piki doooli nakasanga napiki doooli 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ayi 11, touvu… Wachokako…Nkoloko Bwatoo Bwatoooooooo!!!!!!!

  4. When MMD chiefs like Mwata Kazembe threats PF supporters from campaigning in his area, there is total silence from RB. When his brother William Terrorist Banda terrorises the Chongwe villagers, RB is MUTE!!!!!!! What a shame. Please 20 September come quickly!! I am itching to VOTE pa BWATA. Viva Sata, Viva Masebo, Viva Nkomeshya!!!

  5. BO SAKI MASHINSHA YENU, INSTEAD OF ADVISING THE BIG MAN TO BE COOL, YOU ARE INCITING OR ENCOURAGING HIM. WE WONT ALLOW A SITUATION WHERE TRADITIONAL LEADERS ARE LIVING IN FEAR.
    AMANO UKUTUMPA KWATI NI LIFWENKUFWENKU PAKWENDA

  6. Saki is just another political failure and a political prostitute who has failed to offer any meaningful archievements to politics of zambia and indeed to any party he has been, from UPND , co-PF, MMD and now within his dream party ULP. 13 days left to the revolutionary salutation for the marginalised zambians

  7. Yes Mr. President i guess the chiefs you will accept are those that in support of you what a shame of democracy.

  8. Sikota I maybe the next president (if I choose to stand) will you come and suck my d*** while I am thinking of standing? And while you are at it I hear you have a really long tongue, don’t forget to use it on my ass and my boots cam use your enomous skill set too!

  9. Leave this courageous woman alone you fools! Most of you bloggers are just jealous that a woman has such courage as to tell Banda to go to HELL. All Chiefs are playing hide and seek when it comes to the MMD government! have you wondered why Chiefs melt away when Banda pays them a visit? It is because of “undisclosed gifts;” meaning brown envelopes. All chiefs have  kiss Banda’s boots due to such gifts. But Chieftainess told Banda to go hell with his brown envelope. Chieftainess Nkomeshya Mukamabo II, you are the pride of all mothers and how I wish I am one of your subjects! May God bless you for the statement you have made. Your name will be remembered for generations to come. 

  10. CHIEFTAINESS NKOMESHYA IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW. WHY SHOULD SHE THREATEN THE HEADMEN WHO DO NOT SUPPORT HER PREFERRED CANDIDATES. THE WARNING IS TIMELY. ATI CHIWAMIA GALU KULUMA MBUZI OSATI MBUZI KULUMA GALU.

    PEOPLE WE SHOULD VOTE WISELY. WE SHOULD VOTE FOR RB. ALPHABETICALLY HIS NAME WILL BE ON TOP OF THE BALLOT PAPER. NOT MISS IT.

  11. In a constitutional republict is delusional for a chief to think she can have a field day of stripping headmen of their roles just because they are excercising their constitutional rights. The same headmen could challenge her chieftainesship and dethrone her. If anything she has no immunity from legal recourse. Could be taking a myriad suits untill bogged in courts every day.

  12. UPND has been vindicated on Saki’s behaviour. They could not choose him as presidential candidate because he wanted to merger with MMD of Mwanawasa when Mazoka was sick on South Africa, just for him to get a post of vice-presidency, and thats the time when he gave MMD the UPND manifesto. His support for RB has really vindicated UPND to an extent that all the allegations he lebelled against such a clean party were just not fair to say the least, and he owes them a public apology. Saki is really power hungry who will all the time look for opportunities for his selfish and greedy motives. Saki apologise to UPND as they have been vindicated now, by your joining MMD where you have all the time wanted to be, even if our people kwa hae are being killed by RB. Shame on you Saki.

  13. Saki your support for Banda has really confirmed that you have no heart for people of Western province. How can you support a part which killed your own people, no wonder we never voted for you in 2008 because we realised that you do not represent us at all. Saki kiwena muselela siliba. Shame on you to say the least.

  14. So the president’s reaction is as a result of refusal by the chieftainess to his request for an audience with her. I see nothing wrong here for she refused a visit to her home like anyone of us can refuse visitors into our homes. The idea behind sending emissaries to the chieftainess’ palace was to request for an appointment and a request can be either granted or denied. When it was denied it is my belief that the emissaries pressed for a reason why and it was given! I sense a bruised ego here and Saki should advise on how best to make amends between the two than seem to fuel an otherwise volatile situation. Well I admire her action than some of us who would go out of our way to receive visitor’s even when we are not prepared for them just because they have standing in society 

  15. They say not all that glitters is Gold, He is really daft. Imagine having him as the speaker of National Assembly what do you expect(Everything ni Muzungu anikonde or Yes Bwana /Indee Bwana).

  16. SAKI STOPPED HIS PRESIDENTIAL AMBITIONS DUE TO LICKING R.B’S ASS LIKE KAVINDELE DOES.

    HE WANTS TO BE PART OF THE GRAVY TRAIN IN MMD.
    HE COULD ALSO BE LOOKING FORWARD TO R.B’S COURT CASES AFTER SEPTEMBER.

  17. interesting read though what a disappointment. senor saki, what’s the point of starting an opposition party only to fold it into the ruling one. shameful

  18. Ba LT, How much does the president and these MPs make a month kanshi? I know RB has millions of $$$ amased legally or otherwise. I also suspect the salaries of these guys are so inflated that they can afford ‘brown envelops.’ I understant that MP gratuities are at about K500 Million. What about salaries? Somebody please answer including imwe bana ba minister scattered around the planet

  19. When Saki lost elections to HH, a lot of people sympathised with him calling the UPND President all sorts of names. It has now come to light that what the UPND members did not to vote for him was the right thing to do.After losing to HH he quickly formed ULP which rode on Sata’s back for popularity. Unfortunately the hose/rider setup didnt work, so the guy has jumped ship. what a moron.

  20. What happened to this guy to reduce himself to this level? It will take a longtime to produce a leader of Mazoka’s caliber from Southern province now, HH is not realible to most Zambians. Sakwiba, used to be someone people can look up to but he has became greed and corrupt, he is thinking of himself only and you can’t ran a political party like that. What a shame!  

  21. when upnd did not vote for saki, every body said its a tribal party. now upnd members have been proved correct for their decision. By now upnd under saki would have died a natural death like the way ulp has died.

  22. What is the house of chiefs for? the best is to abolish the house of chiefs as its from this set up that chiefs powers are highly compromised. what of mukuni na chingwala supporting bwezi, why shud they not be disciplined since they are directly meddling in national politics.

  23. The truth will come out. So it has now to pass that The Post twisted their headline story in which it lied that “RB has threatened to dethrone Chieftainess Nkomeshya”. The real truth is that Chief Nkomeshya is the one who actually threated to dethrone a number of Village Headmen who are perceived to support RB and MMD. Mmembe praises Nkomeshya & Mpezeni for his own political goals. Nkomeshya has exploited UPND and PF leaders for their money. Mpezeni is a drankard whom opposition leaders give money for his beer in exchange for political deals. In Namwala Chief Nalubamba has been corrupted by HH and tasked to discredit Late Mwanawasa’s and RB’s Govt. Nkomeshya, Nalubamba and Mpezeni are corrupted Chiefs, but no sensible President will dethrone them from their traditional leaderships.

  24. Sikota please, have you sank so low to the point where you are now supporting VIOLENCE of RUPIAH and MMD in Chongwe. You have really been corrupted by RUPIAH and his MMD.
    The problem is that you are so tribalistic and that is why you are supporting RB who is the most corrupt President has ever had to the point he is interfering in the JUDICIARY.
    What a shame.

    At least you should have emulated Nalumino Mundia that GREAT freedom fighter.

    Sikota you the worst MORON CHIMPANZEE in Zambia i have ever heard of.

    You have sank so low to the point you are also interfering in the JUDICIARY and misleading RUPIAH on Judicial matters.

  25. Saki is really a SUCKER!! Imagine two teams are playing against each other, or two armies are at war with each other, then the Captain of the other team or the Commander of one army, scores own goal or shoots at his own forces respectively, how are they, in both cases, going to be regarded???? I want the bloody SUCKER or his likes, to answer this question right now….and also, what is the membership of ULP like, and the composition? If anything, I don’t think that even rightful thinking members of his family and close friends, those with a positive sense of logical thinking (reasoning), can be part and parcel of this abomination of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. Saki is a finished politician who does not command a following in Western Province. He has sold his party. At one time, i thought UPND was unfair to this Man. But I think UPND did justice to kick him out from the party. he could have sold UPND to the MMD. he has no spine. Mwanachingwala insults Mr. Sata you have said nothing. The disgraced Mwata chases away PF from his kingdom, MMD & Saki are always quite. Saki if you looking for a Job from outgoing RB, u will find it at his farm in chipata. 20th we kicking him out.

  27. Ass licker Sakwiba Sikota and foolish bwezani RuBish Bamba you think own Zambia you fools uh? leave our mother Chieftainancy Nkomeshya alone, we pride in her being great she is our mother.Viva Masebo and long live Sata as we count down the days for valiam banda to go back to malabi…………

  28. And he calls himself a laywer, shame! Time for them to pack the dirty bags is here 20th September, 2011 it’s the BOAT. Saki is similar to a tick which cannot let go of a dog whether its okay or sick as long as it can suck the blood. Now we know who the true leader is and will go and vote for Sata in masses and the landslide is guaranteed for PF in 2011. Viva ubwatooooooooooooooo.

  29. Why are some bloggers here not condemning the Chieftainess for threatening her headmen with dethronement but are only condemning the Republican President for threatening the Chieftainess. Isn’t it that both are carrying out threats? A WRONG IS WRONG REGARDLESS OF WHO COMMITS IT. The chieftainess is also wrong! She must not force her subjects to support her candidate, but she has the right to support whom she wants and thats what Sakwiba is saying here.Those who are insulting Sakwiba are just primitive.

  30. The people who have failed our country is the so called learned lot. We can not just make our own money through decent means or hard working. Sikota is a LAWYER who can make his own money but due to selfishness, he has become a CADRE for easy wealth. 

  31. Saki was a good lawyer until he got mixed up with RB in the Mathani issues. Now, no client can trust him, no voter can vote for him and no party except MMD want him!…what a waste….what a shame. No wonder most intelligent people don’t want to go into politics in this country….it liquifies your brain and turns you into a mumbling,bumbling third grade moron!

  32. It is good saki was not voted as UPND president otherwise UPND would not have been the third largest part in Zambia. This man could have sold it for three silver coins to highest bidder. BRAVO HH for carrying the mantle and providng checks and balances to government.

  33. @40 Mpika Boy, If Saki is a cadre simpliy because he is supporting RB tell us what your Chieftainess is. And what are you, yourself? A blind follower? Am sure there is someone you support.

  34. Only wise pipo will join the winning team witha winning formula they have been using to win all the past, present and future elections……MMD Nafuti Nafuti ie xtra measure prophetically 2011 thts wat it means :-?

  35. Sakwiba Sikota! What about Chief Chitimukulu,Mwanachingwala and Mukuni,why dont you extend the same counsel to those *****s as well.What a shame.

  36. @ 45, very simple answer to your question is that the Chitimukulu and Mwanachingwala are not threatening their subjects for supporting candidates of their choice. But your Chieftainess………………..!

  37. # 43 Victor. The chieftainess has not declared any support for any party. She has just exercised her constitutional right to not be bullied by politicians. I wish we had more traditional leaders like her. You are missing my point. Are you one of the learned Zambians benefiting from corruption?  

  38. Oh, Saki, not you!! What has happened to the vibrant and brilliant Sakwiba Sikota we knew a couple of years ago. Kwena ifishimba fya ba MMD fikali!! Epo mpelele!!

  39. MUKWAI MWE BA UMA NAFWALA O WE NID IS TO BE UNITED & SHOW BA MMD THE EXIT DOOR PANTU WE AR ABULT TO SEE AMA VIGILANTI ANYTIM SOON NAMA YUSI WIT WISTLES BA POLICE BACABECABE WE CNT TRUST THEM WIT A PERSON LIKE WILLIAM BANDA PANGA PA PANGA IS THE ONLY ANSWER!!![-(

  40. People must not argue trying to compare saki with this old prostitute with a clogged Kaunda tunnel and now no one can even dare penetrate it. it is full of those grey things and cobwebs……So her frustrations at her failure to have the walls scrubbed are carthased through foul words directed at RB. Leave RB alone he can’t come for you, bush meat………

  41. And the Post: Which Solis did they consult? The Solis in the village of the chief herself? Even as they report you can see how the post is exposing itself to the open eyed people. The simple question is what rearch didthey carry out to show that Solis have vowed to deffend the chief? Just like there are *****s like the post who hate RB so there are some people who do not like the chief.So which peple are the Post fooling? Chongwe is not composed of Solis alone. I did research there.You will be amazed at the many bandas ,Mulengas, Phiris,Tembos etc that are there. You think all these are in tandem with the chief? That is how naive the Post is.

  42. Yes,some times fallacies can work to those whose minds are flat. But Zambians now are so educated that they will not read a thing without qustioning. The post people know that we are different from the zambians of 1964. Why do you always think that you have the monopoly of education? Hmm! the Post!

  43. Voting is a personal preference and should be private. If Zambia has to practice democracy then people should vote for whoever they wish to vote. People should not FORCE others to vote for their prefered parties. Why vote otherwise? It is doesn’t make sense that people are fighting and burning people’s houses because they are voting for the wrong political party. It is their right political party so let them vote.

  44. What else did you expect from this lawyer turned RB’s chola boy. He is fighting for his survival. He is finished like a very old shirt. It is high time Zambians voted for a different president. Otherwise the country will remain a banana republic.

  45. No wonder he has failed his own people from the west. Where is ULP???? Dead!!!!!! Come 22nd September such people should be barred from participating in politics of land because they are turnishing the image our beloved nation…….

  46. @ JP 54, 55, and 56……. Wow, I am like so totally impressed! You can like totally use the words PROSTITUTE, CLOGGED and TUNNEL in the same sentence! That totaally like triple word score on each, wow you totally rock! You are like so educated! Could you like also totally like wow, use the words like….. Your Mother should have smoothed you at birth!! like in the same sentence? Can you like be my partner in a sucide packed? You totally rock that head in your ass and it like looks so totally natural!

  47. Saki is an *****,brainless and spineless wimp. I think it was a blessing that this useless fool didnt win the UPND Presidency. Honestly as educated as he is to sink so low and start parroting for thieves.Kavindele too is another moron who deserves to be wiped. Afew months ago Kavindele was in papers condenming the sale of ZAMTLE and he once issued a statement that FINGERS WILL BURN OVER THE SALE OF ZAMTEL and today such *****s have joined hands to support the same RB they had labelled as being corrupt. Kwena ba fi colour mwaya sana mwee.

  48. The question now is who has more powers especially during election time? Is it the President or a chief? Who can influence the people against the other during the elections is it the President or Chief? Banda is foo.lish why not say good things about the Chief then deal with her after he has won the election?
