Government says there are possibilities that the price of fuel could be reduced by about one thousand kwacha.
Finance Minister, Ngandu Magande, also says there will be a further price cut on fuel following a reduction of oil prices by oil producers and exporting countries.
Mr. Magande however told ZNBC news in Livingstone, Monday, that this will depend on information gathered by a technical committee mandated to study possibilities of reducing the price of fuel.
The committee was formed after Acting president, Rupiah Banda, directed Mr. Magande and his Energy counterpart, Kenneth Konga, to find ways of reducing the cost of fuel.
Mr. Magande said government has not immediately reduced the prices of fuel because the country is still consuming old stocks.
Petrol costs about K9,700.00 per liter, while diesel sells about K8,400.00.
And Several Lusaka residents have welcomed the proposal by acting President, Rupiah Banda,aimed to reduce the price for fuel.
Residents talked to by ZNBC, Monday, said Zambia has the highest pump price for fuel in the region and any form of intervention is welcome.
One of the motorists, Victor Silungwe, said the reduction in fuel prices should not be politicised.
Mr. Silungwe said low fuel prices will reduce production and transport costs.
Another motorist, Edgar Ngoma, said reducing fuel prices will boost production in the country.
Government has appointed a team of experts to study how best to keep fuel prices low.
[ZNBC]
Thats a good thing to do Magande keep it up
Ya right, it goes up by ZMK1,300 they make their money and now it goes down by ZMK 1000. Who will be collecting the 300? For Zed to have the highest price of fuel in Africa, someone must be profiting big time.
This is just campain. Watch this space, soon before you realise it especially after the October 30 elections. I don’t know why but I just don’t trust these guys. They are using this as a strategy. It’s a very good idea and going down by K1,500 would even help, but I only hope it’s not going down by K1,000 and then will rise by K2,000 by next year June. God help us!
Politics, surely is a funny and dirty game. It buffles me how we always seem to have the esential day to day commodities drastically drop in price when there are elections around the corner. That is why we need to educate our people. And this business of the head of state being able to use tax payers money to campaign seriously has to be addressed in the constitution ammendment.
it makes for such an un-equal playing field hence us not ever truely being in a position to pick the right leader
Where have they been all this time for it to suddenly become so easy to reduce the price of fuel? They are now making it seem like Banda is a hero for simply demanding that a ‘team of experts’ look into this and within a matter of days we are hearing how it can and will be done. Aren’t leaders always supposed to look out for the best interests of their people? It just makes me wonder because when prices are increased and people cry out, no one listens. But suddenly, it is possible to reduce prices. I guess every year should be an election year since that is the only way that things will ever get done.
breaking news(skynews)22/09/08
Oil prices have posted their biggest gain since 1998, climbing more in a single day than any stage in the last decade.
Zambia as gone to the dogs. text deleted
CAMPAIGN TACTICS…VOTE SATA FOR THE REAL DEAL.
I do not believe this.What type of logic is Magande using? I quote from bbc “The price of oil has jumped by more than $16 to $120.92 a barrel, the biggest one-day gain on record.” and thats one hour ago !
Whether fuel is reduced by RB now we know it is political manouvar we need cheap fuel for us to do business this is long over due. This will not change our voting rights. We know whom we want.In zambia taxes are abonomal too high. MMD zwa
#7 It’s just the shorts getting squeezed today. Today was the close of the futures contract for Oil and traders had to cover their short positions. Expect Oil to fall to $110 tomorrow. Basically People borrowed alot of oil contracts sold them and hoped to buy them back at a lower price and that did not happen, so they have to rush to buy at whatever price so that they can pay back the oil contract they borrowed. That is what has happened today. It’s a short term move. There are just no fundamentals to sustain oil at these levels.
Price of fuel has just shot up for sure. That is the problem with these fat politicians, while good citizens like my keen friend burn the midnight candle watching global trends, I am sure almost all them are sleeping and snoring!
Mwanawasa RB is @#$%& up your legacy. He gone crazy, so is Magande.
Testing 123
Oil price spikes while Magande makes announcement about reducing price of a litre of gas by less than what the increment just a few weeks ago
1 liter @ 9700 ZMK which is approx 2.77USD.
1 Gal is approx 3.78 liters.
Here in the USA we are paying about 3.8 USD per gal of petrol which is approx 10 USD per gal in Zambia…!
How do we survive in Zed….?
The price of oil today has actually gone up and not down. Magande must either be talking about some decline that happened early on in the month or he is talking about a different OPEC all together.
But that aside, I think to talk about a single Kwacha reduction on a price of almost K10,000.00(ZMK) is an insult to the Zambians who genuinely need a break on these prices.
Q. Whats the difference between our politicians and a dead skunk?
A. Vultures will eat a dead skunk
Magande is lucky there is no opposition in Zambia, because you can’t have an imbecile paid with public tax money mocking the public and the opposition just sits back smiling.
watch how the prices will sky-rocket after the elections… brace yourselves fellow zambians.
Guys bushe iyi mbushi yalikwata amano? Look he is killing the country to be president!
Ama motor bike, Sugar, ifitenge, ama Land cruiser nafimbipo! Kwena shetani uyu eee!
Zambians should wake up for once. This wum needs to face charges of plundering the resources.
In fact, stock up now. If some of you are smart enough, you could rake some profits in 5 weeks’ time
#22 Teta claimed earlier on QFM this evening that people donated up to K1.5bn which was used to buy ifitenge. I hope the locals don’t believe that nonsense
I have had 6 postings lost on this your site.
4 sure power is swit,very soon rb will reduce his age jst 2 get 2 plot 1.
#26 i have evidence to prove that RB was born in 1964
#24 Did he? What a wum! Why didn`t we see ifitenge all this time? My sister the sad thing is this nonsense works in Africa. It is corruption. The id**t has to face charges.
Oh well, you and I can huff and puff, but, the reality is ifitenge na sugar notuma motor bike as well as pajeros are more than enough to convince an African. How sad!
who is clever btwn the politician & the voter? ans…the politician.
if u want to sleep with a girl tell her what she wants to hear full stop.if its marriege she wants u promise her jst that wen u bung u r free 2 do wateva u want.thats rb.
#24. How are you getting QFM? Let me know. I checked the coppernet site, all the straming links are not working.
princess,london r u sure its 1964?or its 1864? am confused.
These are just tactics of compaigning and no mathematics is needed to reduce the price of fuel,the fact is crude oil has been reduced to $96 from $159 per barrel.what can magande say how much profit do they want to make? Guys these chaps are thieves they cannot be trusted.The only trusted one is the late, may his soul rest in peace.
EAGLES EYES,
HERE IS THE BIRTH CERT NO: 2258686 BUT PLEASE DON’T TELL ANYONE. IT WAS MEANT TO BE PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
Whats with the Minister of Energy ? Magande had a running in with Siliya, now he speaking on behalf of Ministry of Energy! He wants a job of Prime Minister
Teta and Mulongoti are useless, they shall be reduced like Shakafuswa one day, he is not even heard.

how much was the price of fuel before the prices went wild?
if these guys are genuine then they should return it to it’s original point.
but they have already started making plans on the price of fuel at 8pin.
mudala look after your interests as no one will.
#44 eagle eyes feel proud atleast you are paying for shirts for ministers? or is it soem shining rolex being shown off at arcades?
muli shimbi yama let no one tell you otherwise,nimwe mule tu sunga.
# 7 its the result of the current financial crisis….most traders are moving from the equity market to the commodities markets. If you have noticed gold and oil have posted increased action and posted higher gains. Ofcourse the gold market is considered more stable. We will see further drops in the price of oil on the world market in the process
Correction….increase in the price of oil..
Magande is practicing Voodoo economic, this is scary

#41. Are home or abroad. What I needed was ho you are getting the broadcast. Is it through the internet?
Amaka amaka amaka amaka pabwato
” Mr. Magande said government has not immediately reduced the prices of fuel because the country is still consuming old stocks.”
It’s election time again. I wonder whose money Magande is using to lower the price of fuel.
By the way, oil was up $20 per barrel today.
LT thanks for your news. I would suggest that you write something about your photos. Which town or city is in the picture above and when was it taken?
#39 That is is speculative as usual by the post in a desperate attempt to salvage their investment. The post are going for Sata if you have noticed their recent coverage. They must have made a deal with SATA to save their Zambian Airways if SATA is elected and they want to paint RB as somebody who has plunderers like VJ and now FTJ. This story has no facts but just speculation and they even do an editorial on it. The Paper that digs deep my foot! This Paper last has lost objectivity completely
We are still waiting for Sata’s CV. What high school did he go too? What college or Universtity? All we know he was a Constable. We have so many educated pipo like Fundanga, Mutati’s and we settle for a Lilayi graduate.!!
Bane what is wrong with us.
FUEL, FUEL ,FUEL THERE WE GO AGAIN.HOW I WISH THE MMD WOULD BE THINK OF US ALL THE TIME THE WAY THEY WHEN THERE ISAN ELECTION AROUND THE CORNER.
THA IS
BECOME SUGAR DADS,REDUCE FUEL PRICES, VISIT CHIEF NAD SO FORTH.THIS IS CHEAP MAGANDE.
SATA AND RUPIAH BWEZANI BANDA ARE TOO OLD FOR PRESIDENCY.THEY HAVE DONE THEIR LEVEL BEST FOR THIS NATION WHEN THEY WERE GIVEN RESPONSIBILITIES TO TO NATIONAL DUTIES.AT THE AGE OF 55 YEARS A CIVIL SERVANT IS RELIEVED BY BEING GIVEN A RETIREMENT PACKAGE.AND WHAT ENERGY HAS SATA AND RB GOT TO DO WITH OUR COUNTRY IF THEY HAVE RETIRED FROM GOVERNMENT.LET US NOT BE SUBJECTIVE COUNTRY MEN.WHY GIVE SOMEBODY 2 YEARS AND THEREAFTER WHAT NEXT.LET US BE UNITED AS ZAMBIANS AND SUPPORT HH THE MAN WHO CAN CHANGE OUR ECONOMY AND RESUSTATE OUR BELOVED ZAMBIA.CIVIL SERVANTS CHURCH LEADERS,MARKETEERS AND FELLOW COUNTRY MEN.LET US AHVE A VISION FOR OUR COUNTRY.SATA IS ANOTHER MUGABE,A MAN YOU CAN NOT TRUST KA1
The MMD has done so much in 60 days than they have ever done in 17 years, even towards the 2006 elections they were not this panicky, what has happened, have they realised that they have lost grip on power? Viva HH
This oil reduction story, is a campaign gimmick. Magande is now an MMD cadre! Are there no men in Zambia who can be thre own man instead of being stooges of other pipo.?
Those in Zed please read the post and let us know what is going on with RB and Chiluba, what is this nonsense?
WE WERE PROMISED JOBS IN 2007 AFTER OUR GRADUATION CEREMONY AND TO DATE ONLY 30 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED OF ABOUT 290 GRADUATES FROM THE MINISTRY OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STAFF TRAINING COLLEGE MONZE AND KITWE COLLEGES.AFTER EMPLOYING THE MMD GOVT WITH OUR VOTES THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN US.IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE AN MP/MINISTER KINDLY FOLLOW UP THIS ISSUE AND YOU WILL BE SUPPORTED AS A PUBLIC OFFICE BEARER,WE ARE LIKELY TO BE REDUNDANT WITH THE KNOWLEDGE WE ACQUIRED.PLEASE HELP US WE NEED EMPLOYMENT .
How old is the wife of RB? I thot that was his granddaughter till somebody opened my eyes?
# 66 I feel your plight, but have you tried going into the informal sector? The Govt is now strongly supporting small and medium enterprises with incentives and funds through an SME division,try the Citizens Economic Empowerment Commission as well, formal employment is not the only means to an end believe me, there is so much potential in ZED. On another note its about time the fuel prices were reduced, if its a campaign gimmick its a damn good one!
#67 RB HAS NO MOALS HE CAN MARRY ANY THING.HIS WIFIS 26YEARS OLD AND HE IS 73 WHAT A SHAME. EVEN THE ISSUE OF FUEL REDUCTION IS NOT DONE IN GOOD FAITH.
Price of oil went up last night on the international market
#27 you are not normal, u need to see the Doc ASAP
SATA in trouble…Chishimba has shown that the cobra is a dictator…go for internal elections PF and then come for nominations in 2011..Good luck Cobra…mwana wa njoka ni njoka
The fuel prices need to go down for sure. if govt thinks we will vote for them based on this then they sooooooo wrong because they are responsible for the current high prices. as far as i am concerned govt shd first get rid of ERB which has led to abnormal fuel increase. thos guys get hefty salaries and at whose cost? ours ofcourse thru exorbitant fuel prices. Why do we have the Ministry of Enegry. ERB shd be a dept under the energy ministry. give us real long term solutions and not short term solutions!!!!!!!!
#36 send me your contact detail, i have got these ex stock
The post has become a boring paper…everyday the headline is RB…this personalised tuntemba papers..if the editor hates yu…he writes everyday..cmon post there are many issues yu can write..ur making RB popula for nothing just like u made Sata a hero he is not…
govt should stop being irresponsable & be objective & truthful about issue & fuel is one of thing.
Are you serious RB got a wife that age and he is that old? He must be taking same kind of medicine as Robert Mugabe, watch whats gonna happen to our economy.
Ba kabolala (white collar criminals) balifulisha mu Zambia. Why should we have one of the highest price of fuel in Africa. Ubupupu bwalichilamo. Thats why in Zambia, we lag behind in most things. No proper infrastructure, such as clinics, hispitals, schools, colleges most of them dilapidated. Look at sports infrastructure, nothing no stadium nothing. I wonder how we will host the 2011 All africa games.
I know this is off topic but these are the things we want to see. Politicians have failed us in Zambia. All they do is bwetu bwetu and no solutions bako*lwe.
We need to change the govt now. Lets vote new people in govt. We are fed up of this lagging behind.
SATA will today lose a court case against Chishimba! No Conversion in 7yrs …….
Wish SATA o the best!
petrol 10pin, guys c’mon even poor countries like malawi and burundi sell the gas for a lower price.and malawi doesnt even have a refinery.efyo sata alanda,too many taxes,levies whatever u call them
Can someone educate me on the pricing structure of fuel in Zambia? Especially the tax policy.
Aparambwa, you are right we need to vote in a NEW person. Not a recycled politician. Sata and RB are the same recycled politicians who will never change the way of governing a country for prosperity. I urge all the younger generation to support HH. Let the old fellows rest.Twacula pafula.VIVA HH, VIVA!
How are they gonna cushion the deficit? They need more money to carry on the Rupiah legacy of distributing fitenges, sugar and mealie meal. All that needs dollars and not just any dollar(Zim Dollar) but the Dollar or pound to keep buying their way to state house and cabinet office. If these guys have any integrity, they wouldnt even dream of going to cabinet offices because LPM’s tomb will be haunting them.
Next year fuel we should expect the pump price to be tripled!!!
This wont help us in any way because bus drivers wont accept to reduce fairs. Its only a good chance for them to make more profits and continue with exploiting us.
You see what we meant? Its only going to be reduced by ZMK500. Its a mockery.
All those who think Rupiah Banda can lead this country to success are dreaming. A country needs a dynamic, driven leader to move forward not some spent force like the old hagard RB. It was one of the weaknesses of KK’s 27 years of rule that as much a stateman as he was, he didn’t understand the new world and what it took to make a country tick. Let’s not have a repeat performance. You can not have a haed of state in the evening of his life to push the country forward in this brave new world.
fellow youth let us all VOTE HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. VIVA HH .VOTE WISELY VOTE HH
We are in our 30s, 40s and 50s. Do you tell me that with all the free education we got through KK we do not have credible countrymen and women to remove Zambia out of poverty. UNZA is closed because the current MMD leadership is full of people who do not understand the value of a university. UNZA has no research funds, poor pay of professors and lecturers.No move so far(not even by the late LPM) to attract us back to our country.These recycled politicians will never understand in their life time.
Hope this 1pin does not include reduction due to stability on the international market coz fuel has drastically reduced on the inter-market by a very good margin sadly here in Zed price adjustments are only effected speedily if its an upward adjustment.There is no way that a developing country like Zambia defendant on fuel to drive the economy we can allow taxes of over 60% on fuel.I mean,we beat the UK,US,Malawi (which imports from Indeni) even troubled Zimbabwe fuel is far cheaper than Zambia.What we need is a quick regime CHANGE,Magande is too arrogate with HIS MMD,they don’t feel the pain we do as they get free fuel.LETS KICK THEM OUT COME 30TH OCTOBER!!!!
Do we always have to wait for ELECTIONS for somethings to be better? Then lets have elections every year?
This is all crap! Zambias its time to wake up!
anonymous,kanshi you dying soon huh.ine ndi mwaice in my early 20s.nowonder your comments are so personal.you wasted your life and now you blame politicians,no ways man.whatever or wherever you are in life is a result of decisions you made when you were young
what we need is to totally wipe out this crop of leaders and field in a younger generation.they’re so adamant to change,why cant they move wit times.cloths ni salaula,cars ni ujv,mwaba shani ba pushi imwe kanshi?
True world changers are the young and vibrant. Fidel Castro in his time (1958 though he overstayed-but for a good cause), Gaddaffi, Mbeki(9yrs ago) and KK are examples. Developed countries can do with very old presidents. Developing countries require younger leaders with the eagerness to advance. The old are always complacent and content with what they have always done. Zambia can not afford to be.We need to move.You guys in the diaspora help to “conscientise” our fellow Zambians that things are bad in Zambia. What we lark is a capable president we need to use to market Zambia and it resources.
Maybe we need elections every year. Maybe we need to revisit the constitution and allow these guys, hungry mobs with a huge appetite for power, to have turns of one year each so we can be moving one step each year towards some sensible and noticeable development.!!!
I think we might see some change because only an election will cause them to act.
I only hope the price of fuel won’t be increase almost immediately after the elections. We have been complaining about the fuel price for a long time and the government never listened.
K500!!! what difference is it going to make?.
Why can’t they reduce the price of beer atleast it will make a difference.
When LPM was announcing that he had to intervene because of fuel shortages last time, his comments made me smell a rat! these people do deals!!
MMD high officials have a big cut on fuel sales. That is why they have become so wealthy. Its become too tricky to steal money in government, just impose your cut in fuel.
Magande wants to do everyone’s job! He is too selfish. who does he think he is!?
MMD are making money and driving the country in reverse. Abash MMD!!
you are right we need to vote in a NEW person. Not a recycled politician. Sata and RB are the same recycled politicians who will never change the way of governing a country for prosperity. I urge all the younger generation to support HH. Let the old fellows rest.Twacula pafula.VIVA HH, VIVA!
Imwee, Mr Magande is saying that fuel can not reduced immediately because we are still using old stock. But why is it that when they annouce increase of fuel prices at international market or other factors, fuel prices in hike up immediately and dont wait for old stock to finish first?
This are just politics, they are trying to win votes and i dont think fuel price will reduce soon.
Wake up people
ftj was once my hero,but it simz tatontonkanya sana.look what you got us into by imposing that lpm trush on us.
the oil price has been dropping for almost 2 months why have they not reduced the price of fuel by now. It is campaigning which ever way you look at it.
my wish is that one day the media will report on issues such that they provide proper checks and balances for the government/leaders. they should report who has mistresses all over town (so that they should be ashamed of their input towards the spread of hiv/aids as leaders!), sneak cameras and catch them red handed in corruption,check who had made too much money and cannot account for it, etc. that is the only way they will stop. right now they are not scared of anyone and do whatever they want at OUR cost! they think Zambia is theirs to play with.
besides indeni ran out of crude oil just a couple of weeks ago,so which old stock is he referring to
MMD is the same Govt that has condemned FTJ and the likes of Katele Kalumba(Kaka) and Michael Mabange who cheated in Elections in Mulobezi. Now FTJ and VJ are back in MMD with full force after the death of LPM. These are not people we can trust at all, they could not work with LPM because he was not corrupt like them but now they want to take advantage of the situation so their sins can be cleansed. Zambians watch out and vote wisely!
Vote for yourself!!! Dont waste your day!!!
It does not pay
If you are married be with yor wife!!!!
Latest-the high court has trown out an injuction where Kasama MP Saviour Chishimba wanted the court to restrain sata from filing in his nomination.
Sata will thus file his nomination this morning.
Tune to Q-FM for the live feed from the courts
The problem is out of the Four Presidential Candidates, none of them is TRUSTED. This is the time when we need a MIRACLE of God. God will do a new thing in Zambia. Keep praying.
The problem we us Africans is that we are too slow to act. The global price of oil are constantly changing due to global market forces. Recently the prices went down and if we are sincere about our prices in Zambia being affected by the global prices, we should be adjusting the prices accordingly. Now here is a situation where the prices go down but by the time government puts up a committee to do a survey the prices are going up again. Now we need another committee to do a survey on the increased price. Come on Africans the market forces don’t wait for you to put up a committee, they dictate, so u move at their pace. Is that too cryptic to understand? Poor Africans.
93 i agree with you!
Ba Osama Lets kip up the cmpgn going!
Ati Chishimba Kambwili, what/who does he think he is? I think he is being used by MMD manje adabwa his application has been rejected. This guy has to be dealt with by PF’s disciplinary committee for his selfish acts.
Is that the truth?
#109 my bad I meant Saviour Chishimba. Sorry ba Kambwili
why is the mmd so desperate,bayopa?
How do we get on O-FM?
Magande u never stop to amaze me from ur works. You are the man!!!
Chimutunta ba MMD. They feel the pressure manje and they know that their candidate is not the “best” of the three.
No. 58 Mmm, that picture is Engen filling station in Great east road near ZESCO HQ. My guess is it was talken during one of the recent fuel crisis seeing the number of vehicles in the picture
RB has lost a lot of brain cells at his age including those used for reasoning. i think he is the real cabbage. if he wins, its as good as having a zombie for a president. has he ever wondered why we just dont like him?
This chishimba guy is definately sponsored by mmd, he has been a problem to pf members and leadership, thanks his ka injuction has been thrown out. go go go micheal…
Q-FM via internet-go to coppernet website-coppenet.zm, then you will find a Q-FM link.
Saviour Chishimba-sponsored by MMD for sure. n`way i dont blame MMD, Sata is unstoppable this time-hence the fear. MMD, do any tricks, it wont work out for you.
Say what you want, PF is taking over!!!!!!!!
Pa Bwato!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kip on dreaming PF you never rule this country
Zedian, am in office and miised the rulling. is it true chishimba the bastard’s injuction has been thrown out?.
Come on LT are you just running ZANIS / ZNBC propaganda stories? Have you no other sources?
#118 r u sure PF will win, I can just imagine the kind of president this country will have, who talks so much and always opening his dirt mouth with no teeth inside, the whites will ran away pls dont put such a person in plot one. We need someone smart and handsome and well presented.
Mr. Magande when will you release our money?….we are dying of hunger here!
#121 Ni Zee
The MMD sponsored Chishimba’s injunction has been thrown out. MC Stata will be filing his nomination this morning. Lelo llelo…
Ba MMD bayopa!
I have said this words before and I will repeat it again here for the benefit of those who did not read them: “THE MAN HH WITH EVIL LIKE EYES WILL NEVER RULE ZED”! Mark my words bcoz you will remember them in the near future!
Greedy MP let us vote for PF to give a country the person
that will lead this country.
PF bwato bweka bweka
#123 lili
Are you looking for a man to marry you or a leader for Zambia? Counter check your needs.
whether the injunction has been thrown out or not PF will never rule this country over my dead body, that I can promise you. The man is not educated in most cases he misleds the pple and I am so scared coz he might die too you know that heart attact comes again so he might die before 2011. Ok I see, he wants to die on the CHAIR so that he is also given a state funeral, forget it Micheal, go home to the farm and enjoy yr retirement, it will help you alot my dear
sata bamupela ibange
ba lili over your dead body? who are you anyway?
lili even if you died,the world would lose nothing.i hope you die fast so pf can rule earlier than scheduled
No.128 sorry I am well married ok and I want a proper leader for this country and I have worked with politicians I know what I am talking abt. VOTE for Sata and you will see what he is made of. You will even envy Mugabe who is much better than Sata but DONT SAY I NEVER TOLD YOU, YOU WILL REGRET IT FOR THE REST OF YR LIfE BELIEVE ME YOU
lili you worked with politicians?where? baliku bomfya nge hule ka?
Osama the world will lose me
Lili.. Sata has no farm to go back to. He is not a farmer
123. Ka Lili we don’t look for hundsome men here. Uli ka liule?
#126 Word of wisdom. Its a pity your mama even had you. She must be a sad lady if she can read this. Just die.
what language it that, I dont understand use english everyone to understand Osama and dont personalise it. I am interested in seeing this country develop not the poverty pple are in now. Maybe you dont know the poverty in this country. Pple are suffering and you think its a joke
lili the world losing you is like a dog losing its sh#t,its more of a relief if you ask me
Lili
Dont bother yourself, you sound very mature and kind hearted. For your wise advice is much appreciated. SATA is a loser.
Ati “OVER MY DEAD BODY” Do you mean you will be dead on by November 1? Chifundo ineeeeee…
The boat is sailing and in the right course for that matter. November 1, it shall dock at plot 1, chibe chibe
Ka Folks if you have nothing to say just shut up
YYEESS!! ba MMD mwa omwa. we all know thats one of your ploys , one down you have sunk ba chishimba i hope you were paid before you put in your injunction, bacause aba ba mmd now will not pay you as they are known for jiving. May be if you had succeded knowing RB he would have given you a golden hand shake. VIVA Michael stand up for the truth, the truth hurts, Pa bwato uwa tumpa ku nwina
ba Chichimba mwanina BYE ifwe Twaabuka no no bwato.
lili i suggest you shut up instead. you havent said anything valuable so far.i pitty you hubby,he must be a very sad man
Let PF sought out themselves. This matter is a PF matter although the THUGS are seeing shadows.
Osama, I tell you that PF will never make it, if he cant organise his party what abt a big country like Zed.
anonymous let me translate for you, lili thot she was grafting for politicians,but was just used like the whore she is
lili give us some peace. wafuma kwisa iwewine? just concentrate on your prostitution!!!!
Sata’s CV please twapapata. We want to make an inormed choice ba PF. Lets have a detailed one
Sata the outpatient will never rule this country
Let us vote and reject the MMD. If you are not yet decided between MCS and HH, just close your eyes and do piki piki napikidoli..and never chose Rupiah Banda,.. He will be worse off then Kaunda, Chiluba and even sata. Sata has more sense, and more to give this country than RB who seem to have no direction and already showing dictatorial tendencies by banning the Live phone in programme among many unip/Chiluba VJ vices
Osama I suggest you shut up too. I pitty yr ka hule at home she is very unfortunate to have you for a partner coz u does not use yr brains to see reality. I think you are being kept by a woman and you dont realise the poverty around. Osama this country needs a normal person who can think and turn things around and provide for the needy. what is wrong with you? Cant you see the way pple are suffering and you want a bully for a President, God forbid.
Ba PF mukaleka lisa insele. Let the lady say what she has to say twamipapata. Iwe naiwe ka lili please respect ba PF.
Imagine having Zuma iN south Africa, Mugabe in Zim and this moron Sata in Zambia?
Thx Tonga bull, I have respect for all pple but this Osama seems he is used to insults instead of discussing important issues here

#155 Bandawe
For your own information, your preferred candidate for Zed is far much worse than Zuma or Mugabe.
All those that are scared/don’t want Hon. MC Sata are like that because ni baulesi so muyopa kuti manje it will be action action it will be. Ise tifuna kusebenza and earn decent out of our efforts not kufolesha chabe unga, sugar, ma pajero…
PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Let us tell bakateka (Sata) the truth. Its pointless to keep on exciting people in areas where you don’t need to campaign (Lusaka and CB). In 2006, Sata lamentably lost outside Lusaka and CB, so it will be sucidal to neglect this fact. Go to rural areas and loose with a respectable margin, otherwise we shall keep on blaming VJ. There are only 36 days remaining, Zambia is beyond Lusaka and CB. By the way does our party have structures in Western, Southern, North-western, Central and Eastern Provinces? One man may not manage to go round the whole country in 36 days. Lets suppliment his efforts in these hard areas else the MMD will bounce back despite being unpopular on computers!!
PIPO AM WONDERING AS O WHICH POLICY UNIP AND MMD PAC WILL FOLOW.UNIP IS A SOCALIST AND MMD I CAPTALIST.WHICH POICY WILL RB FOLLOW.
PLEASE EDUCATE
Lilly your are correct. Everyone knows that they are just excited over nothing. Come to voting they know it is RB.
And it is not true that the injuction has been thrown out. Still waiting for the ruling it is likely to be granted.
This fuel reduction I hope it will last anyway its enjoy it while it last I agree but I know that soon or later we will have to pay
Last week the exchange rate was lower than it is now ( K 3,525 – K 3,655)and the world oil price was about US$ 94/barrel. The oil price is now increasing it is about $ 99/barrel. Since these are the two excuses that the GRZ uses for increasing fuel, do you think they will reduce the oil price and for how long b4 another increment? If they reduce fuel price then my deduction is that there are other factors like taxes that the GRZ has control over which should be looked at.
ANYWAY I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST VOTE WISELY BUT DONT SAY I NEVER TOLD YOU, THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE AND THINK HARD INDEED
The other question is are mini bus and bus drivers going to reduce prices following this reduction? I think not. Just another exercise in political masturbation.
#167,he’ll follow need as he has no plan!!
#167,he’ll follow non as he has no plan!!
The REBELS pulled a clever move. In the meantime this move will keep SATA tied to Lusaka.
He (SATA) has yet to visit my village. We have a surprise for him.
Iwe lilli’ yes uli kalifutu, we will vote for Sata because we know what he is made of; he has been there for all of us, we saw his works when he was in office, maybe iwe you were not born yet, we are not voting for his looks, but his beliefs, he has a vision that no ene else has told us or convinced us. He is for the changes that the common man needs thats why he has a lot of followers and he is sorrounded by intellectuals we ka puba we. People are for his works; he is a man of the people tell me anybody in zambia who can account for the changes made by Sata nobody. So just shut it little-lille. you are talking from without and stop threatening others, Make your choice. thats demo
Does any one know the ruling over injuction against Sata?
Ubwato has so many holes that only the nprincipled are still squating there – One Man canoe!
we somehow pay back for this reduction thru ohter means of taxs
Noreen. Ndiwe mkali. Now you see what you have done. You have made Lilli cry.
I wish SATA could visit my village. Time is running out. Siti funa at one quick stop iyayi!
We want good and tangible THINGS like ba chama chakombaka(late) once said.
Noti ku leta ma masapato (issues) yo sila.

#150, Sata’s CV
Educational background is top secret.Worked as a policeman,then
joined politics and has served in UNIP, MMD and is currently PF president.Served in various ministries where he has not lasted for
long in each ministry. Served as minister without portifolio where his role was to save Chiluba’s interests.Vehemently supported Chiluba’s third term bid.Blocked others from attending MMD convetion. Organised thugs with matchets during Chawama bye elections. He is a Roman Catholic christian in goodand regular
standing. Perhaps has stopped smoking after a life threatening heart attack. Has not held a party convetion since PF’s inception. Man of action indeed.
Ka Lili dont waste our time. What are you telling us? We have the right to chhose what we want.Ni pa bwatoooooooooooooooooooooooooo bane
Just a campaign gimmick watch out K1000 reduction is very small abash MMD and viva sata
Iwe Lili,Hantobolo & Tonga Bull,can you all be mature!Lets have reasonable debates.And you guys why are you insulting the lady when she is just expressing herself the same way you are doing it? Ba PF!You will never learn to be constructive.I have never seen such levels of disorder in a party seeking to run a country.Go to a convention and replace your SATA with any of those scared vibrant men in your party.How do you run a party like a familly house? You will never win! Just keep some change from your campaign change and invest more in BIG BUSES.
Ba LT can you please update us on the PF injuction .Wats the fuss?Propanganda? Can we have latest info on the same.The injuction was filed yesterday and to me this is an important news item and up to now no update
If you get hold of the COBRA’s neck, it does not matter what the rest of the body does. That is it.
Mufikeni pa kosi! Azilasa mulinso.
Latest is that high court has dismissed the injunction with costs – Chishimba will bear the cost!

#184 baby love has a thick head. He doesn’t reason he goes where the wind goes. I’m sure he has a back ground of kaponya or marketeer. Work up baby use that is between you ears. Use it its helpful..!!!!
Eeee… ee… I loved my country.
eee… beware of corrupt leader in my former party.
SO TELL HAS THE INJUNCTION BEEN THROWN OUT
Very sad…o I v read r PF( i think, supporters )using insults. I hope this is not a reflection of the principles PF is built on bcoz if it is…I feel for the decent pipo of this country. Osama( whatever) busy picking a fight with a girl, Lili…sort of reminds me of Sata at Chipata airport. Baaba the issue here is fuel prices and not insults,PLIZ
Breaking News – Sata has just collapsed at high court grounds due to severe cardiac complications. Magande has refused to fund his evacuation to RSA, instead he has been rushed to Kanyama clinic – stay tuned for more updates!!!!
Confirmed – timewasting and taxpayer’s money wasting injunction now thrown out
Good BIGGIE JIM.Tell them those PF & UPND cadres.SATA & HH are selfish and are both pre-occupied with going to PLOT#1.If they heeded to our cries for change,they would have come up with a formidable PACT and saved this wonderfull nation.They should have heeded to our calls for UNITY OF PURPOSE and swallen their pride even in the face of an EMINENT DEFEAT for each one of them.I don’t think they are even relevant to the equation as matters stand right now.
I didn’t realise you were in Israel today Given…
Man muzo who tells you I support Sata? Please keep your trap closed if you have nothing to say.
The PF party officials at kawambwa have refused to campaign for SATA unless the MP Elizabeth Chitika gives a go ahead. This is the power of an MP. This is quite significant.
SATA is having fights from within and outside. What a man.
I wish him all the best.
I CAN SEE LPM WELCOME TO LIFE. SEE WHAT YR RECONCILIATION DID? NOW HE THINKS HE CAN TAKE OVER IMAGINE. VISIT HIM
so many zambians are already poor when we have the so called peace in the country.politicians want to play with peoples lives. this is our country we are talking about.dont let carders be incharge.use your VOTE wisely.
we just do away with ERB and the rest of theses energy companies,let minstry of energy regulate the fuel prices,i hope the prices wont increase after the elections,anyway viva HH
SATA has surely bitten himself. Look at his campaign strategy. Is he still soliciting for funds? Whe is he going to visit us in the villages or is he favouring Lusaka?
Lusaka is only one place, he should know. However, even if he visits us here in the village, who will know that he did it.
I advise him to try the Taiwanese again for some bucks or else let him use the total and collective investments of his pinions and cohorts as collateral against a bank loan.
LT MUZISUNGE
Sure!!!, Sata in Kanyama clinic, I WISH HIM A QUICK RECOVERY
We want our children and our great grand children to live well. Look at Botswana, their economy is ok sure you mean us we cant do that honestly. The biggest problem we have is EACH FOR HIMSELF AND GOD FOR US ALL
LT YOU ARE FAVOURING COMMENTS FROM ONE POLITICAL PARTY!!!!! YOU PLAYING PATISAN POLITICS HERE! SEE #195 FOR EXAMPLE! WE SHALL CAMPAIGN SO THAT OTHER PARTIES STOP BLOGING!
sata will never rule this country.his time is long gone and to bad if hes sick,i can i imagine if he can even stand pa stage and campaign for 4hrs with this heat.abena zambia woke up sata is sick and bashikulu banda shud go back tothe farm
Mugabe, r u interested in RB’s wife? hahahaha surely u are older than RB
SATA start with Guy the snakee charmer. Let him declare all that he owns and then Given could declare himself and the rest. Those buses are surely not enafu. Speed up the campaign. Dont do what your heart is telling you to do (give up). Take some steroids if need be, just be careful not to over work your heart with these.
Dont try talking issues, get 100pins and shower us the villagers with them. We will like you. Bring mealie meal, bicycles and any THING tangible, tuza ku konda.
but iwe 207 uli chipuba,is this yo 1st time u are using the net atase grow up
#191 u dont know yo rights…….so better keep quiet. We are here to talk issues
#206 lili
If you want change, go for someone you have SEEN perform not someone you “think” will perform. Action out of this pathetic life is what Zed needs.
195 Hahahaha uve made my day!!!!imwe yesterday Ba SATA was mad! wasnt he scared of the ruling….hahahahaha VIVA HH mailo ndife!!!!
All sane people ni pabwato
tell me more about the mad mans anger yesterday
Bravo Baby love!
Pabwato bane!
Pabwato!
Herro, anyone interested. Oh sori, its not a dating site, its politics. Anyway I am soli. forgive me
Live on QFM: Sata has just filed-in his nomination papers and told his cadres to proceed to Matero where the PF is scheduled to open their campaign house! He told his supporters not to worry about the intimidation from people who are scared of the fact that he is winning come 30 Oct
Lady pink, bakutuma kuli RB ka?
#220
Dont you worry, there always exceptions. Lets talk
Thanks #221 at least someone on this blog is not drinking chibuku
ba lili and anonymous, i really get offended when some one troubles my long time friend osama.. what he is saying is true we need change of which you are scared of, pipo are starving, whats MMD doing? tring to white brain you by reducing the fuel price and not signing the salary incrim. we need to care for others thats why we need PF for this coming Eight years.. what you should bear in mind that we are the leaders of tomorrow lets make a difference not instead of shooting each other. bush has said…viva me Osama and Pabwato
hi Osama long time.
Could you all please stop this insult thing and concetrat on whoever you are backing!
Go PF Go!!!!!!
Wat is the latest you pple on the injunction I mean
Manje nikafwafwa. Chishimba has been used and if he wasn’t paid upfront siazakaona kang’ono. Zedians ghet ready, a new Zed is on course come Nov 1. ACTION all the way. AAAAACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wat?
Vote for PF!
lady pink honestly can u mistake this with a dating site. I am very surprised. go to google and type dating sites then it will give you dating sites, leave us to discuss normal, plseeeeeee
Yes we need ACTION! Magande and your rival RB cheap politics!
PF for sane pipo……
The role of ERB is to announce the price adjustments, I am worried if RB starts doing the announcements then I dont know.
Maybe its because of similarities in initials ERB/ RB
Why, PF? MY DEAR ONES PROMISE ME THAT YOU WILL VOTE FOR HH FOR BETTER ECONOMY, THANKING YOU IN ANTICIPATION
this still is just too little man,we are expecting the price to come down to K5400 for petrol and not too sure about the others
ANY NEWS FROM THE COURTS
The answer on fuel price rests with the energy regulation board and Ministry of Finance.This talk of a Committee appointed to submit findings to another commitee is just a way government acts when they know what needs to be done but they lack the guts to do it.Why should Zimbabwean fuel be 2 pin cheaper than ours.Its about taxes and the monopoly that Oil companies have been allowed to make.Secondly the electricity mess is a factor in the matter.We need leadership that can bite the bullet and walk the talk.
Spot on 223 lol. Whats the point of having ERB with RB calling the shots?
Fuel and DSTV are most expensive in Zed, the Chinese and other countries dump stuff in Zambia and we’re quite happy to accept this. Something needs to be done so that Zambians are treated fairly. Why should people earning less than our fellow Africans be paying more for the same services.
This has been happening before RB and was rife during Chiluba days, when the ministers didn’t care and were thinking of themselves. These are hangovers from the Animal Farm styled Govt that ruled us for 10.
I keep reminding of how brains could work together. Think about this!!!!

We are paying $12 for a gallon of petrol!!
When your kids grow up who should they aspire to become.
RB, SATA or HH
Does any one know the risks in sailing? Remember the Titanic. It was built by engineers. Noah’s ark was built under instructions from God. Ubwato was built by one man who was not happy that Chiluba had dribbled him by choosing LPM for presidency of Zambia.Is this a man to trust and jump in his fatal boat. Muza lila ba PF.
the fuel price should be going down by a minimum of 40% to the existing price. this would be in line with the recent decline in global prices. Note that this reduction does not address the excessive taxes we pay for our fuel. Bloody Zimbabwe is charging US$1.20 per litre. Where do we Zedians go wrong and always get cheated. K500-K1,000 is a slap in the face!!!!
pipe life is too short you need to enjoy every moment.VOTING SATA WILL TAKE WAY THIS RIGHT BECAUSE
1.HE LIKES INSULT JUST LIKE YOU CAN SEE FROM HIS SUPPOTER HERE
2.HE HAS NO FISIBLE PLAN TO TAKE ZAMBIA ORWAR
3.HE SENT THAG TO HACK PIPO IN CHAWAMA LUSAKA
4.HE DEMOSHED HOUSE IN KANYAMA BUT TODAY OTHER HAVE BUILT ON THE SAME LLAND.
5. HE IS NOT CONSISTANT,2006 CHINISE WERE NOT IN FAVOUR TODAY CHINISE ARE IN HIS FAVOUR
#243 cheap thinking. Please use your brains and not your other body parts to think
VIVA PF
if the presidential candidates which of the MDGs zambia would attain by 2011.
Which candidate would answer such a question??
PF support has considerably reduced, last time 2006 it took an hour to clear the supporters from the Roads now , 2day 10 minutes sure awe VIVA HH
its funny how during elections everyone because so intelligent and wise….why werent some of these decisons made earlier? did they really have to wait for election to see that the prcies of fuel are ridiculous???
So he has been allowed to fill in his nomination just to calm the situation
Pretty I agree with you, Pa Zed pple are always sleeping only elections wakes them up. only to find the price of fuel is high hahahaha now they want to appear as if they are intelligent. Just wait you dont know politicians. They are the most selfish pple I have ever seen on this earth. In yr on brains you think they will go plot one and help you, IT NEVER HAPPENS GET IT IN YR HEARDS PLS they go there to enrich themselves and after five yrs tell u to vote for them again meanwhile you will suffering and they dont CARE at all. Why do u think they are so very KEEN to go to state house, are sure its to improve ZED, guys be realistic. All they want is to be in these position make money frm trips
where r these PF cadres they have gone campaigning hahahaha they are wasting their precious time
