Patriotic Front (PF) mobilization committee member Susan Sikaneta says the party is confident that President Michael Sata will be able to change the corrupt governance system within 90 days.

Ms. Sikaneta told QFM that President Sata is a good leader who has shown commitment to developing the country and uplifting the living standards of its citizen.

She notes that President Sata has a track record of being a hard worker from the time he served as cabinet minister in the Chiluba regime.

Ms. Sikaneta has since appealed to the Zambians to give the new government time to address the issues affecting them.

  1. Look who is talking about corruption?Ms Susan Sikaneta of all people sure.This woman is very corrupt to the bone.Let her first account for her two mansions in new kasama and another mansion which is on top of the hill in kafue…

    • you are a fool .she worked hard for her money even the mmd could’nt find anything on her.she has been in real estate all her life fool.

  2. We are corrupt because Rupiah was a corrupt leader. Had Levy not died things would have been different. MCS is going to bring down corruption ofcourse with our help.

  3. I agree with Ms. Sikaneta. A lot of people still underrate him but I’m sure he will surprise them with action and not words. Only 2 weeks in office and he has already started cleaning up State House, RDA, ACC and other institutions of governance.

  4. Wow, when did she jump ship and join PF.I thought she was MMD .wasn’t she the one asking us to change our passports by a certain date.Aren’t there young people in Zambia who can take up leadership roles?Its the same old same old it seems- Sata,Guy Scott,Nkandu Luo etc all from MMD

  5. Its good that we have a leader who is not corrupt, but the whole issue lies on us. we need to change our mindset because the President can’t be everywhere.

  6. Zambians as whole need to change their mindsets. We  became so corrupt that one had to even bribe people working in the mortuary to get some service. Qualified Accountants,Engineers, Lawyers etc have become so compromised. Its all about making money as individuals. Surely one can always make make through decent means. So at the moment the biggest challenge will be our adjust our minds as Zambians. YOU CAN NOT DEVELOP OR MAKE MONEY WITHOUT WORKING HARD.

  7. My heart bleeds to learn (in the other paper) that RB’s Govt stole K4trillion? Iyeeee, little wonder Zambia is finished beyound redemption, God the almighty please help Zambia, my country , my home…

  8. Kombe u want to see her soft bums? She is in fear of being raped after that advert she gave to men. Am sure even u would like to tomba her so much. hehehehe

  9. Why can`t these cadres from the opposition just sit and enjoy the cruise? Shut up guys! I am enjoying the cruise so far. Just a few miles before we dock in Trinidad -Tobago. God you just can`t please some people can you?

    Another Mosi please!

  10. Ba Susan, Hunger is what is inspiring you to praise pipo you cud never have a meal with. Ba Sata, please dont give her a job we know what she did when she was PERMSEC at Lusaka Province

  11. She’s got nerve this Susan Sikaneta. What about the houses near State Lodge which you quickly disposed? How did you acquire the houses and why were you in a hurry to dispose of them? You corruptly imported all the material for the houses. We know you and yours …

  12. Sata himself is corrupt. Just dig behind what happened with the Merzaf flats many years ago. How did he acquire the avondale land? How did he acquire his Rhodes Park house from Zambia Airways? How is he appointing every Bemba streetboy he comes across into his current govt? He is the worst President Zambia has ever had. He is making it seem as if only Bembas can run this country and it will cause social problems very very soon. All you Bembas supporting him should be mindful of the fact and not bury your heads in the sand. We are just 1 week with him and if this continues he wont finish his 5 year term. Mark my words – or else Zambia will erupt. Every tribe has contributed to the development of this country and no one tribe should monopolise govt positions.

    • MLIAZHE U HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST BEMBAS I DONT HIDE THE I AM PROUD OF MY CREED FWE BENA NKALAMO WE HAIL FROM GREAT HISTORY I AM PROUD OF EVERY ZAMBIAN S EVERY ONE HAS HAD A FARE SHARE IF THEY CONTRIBUTED TO ZAMBIA WHICH IS TRUE AS U PUT STOP THREATENING PEOPLE U AINT SHIT BEMBAS WE ARE LOVING OF EVERY OTHER TRIBE WE DONT COMPLAIN MUCH KAUNDA WAS NOT AND HE IS NOT BEMBA SO WHY DIDNT WE CRY FOUL JUST REGROUP YOUR TRIBE DONT BE MALICIOUS IF U DONT WANT BEMBAS TO RULE WORK TOWARDS THAT GOAL TAKE UP THE MANTLE U SLEEZY WHINNER U CANT ELIMINATE US OUT OF THE EQUATION REMEMBER ZAMBIAS HIGH PERCETILE OF THE POPULATION CONSTITUTES OF EITHER BEMBE S OR BEMBE SUB TRIBES WHICH MAKE S UP MUCH OF THE ZAMBIAN POPULATION THATS WHY OUR INFLUENCE IS IMPACTING

  13. @#20 Iwe chi Gokigo. Why didn`t you send H.E MCS to court then> Shutup you pathetic MMD cadre.

  14. clean the mess your excellence,the youths of zambia are truly suffering.people give the new government a chance to clean up the mess left by the previous regime,the see what follows.

  15. Read post editorial,Corrupt Sebastian Zulu needs to step down or be fired. He has already started defending the corrupt judiciary.How can we have faith in him since the judiciary lost credibility way back.

  16. The PF corruption fight will fail! Why? It is targeted at Rupiah Banda who is a victim of hate by one editor who from day one of Rupiahs nomination has been writing only negative things about him. Rupiah is out of power change your focus to developing Zambia! Money in govt is controlled by Permanent Secretaries eg this former PS who is now PF.(2)  Ruling by 10 commandments? Has any followed them? I am not hearing adultery , Killing or respecting Parents/Sabbath etc. Having Christ in your heart is the answer. Christ narrowed these to loving God &fellow man. Is this fight based on Love or Hatred, revenge etc? FR. Chilinda who has been castigated in Post editorial is a man of God who when he is preaching the spirit of God is on him. Love, Love, Love is the answer.Hatred will destroy Zambia!

  17. #21 ITALIAN BUNGA BUNGA – Your MCS was in govt you **** when he commited those crimes and he is in govt now when he is committing these crimes. How can he send himself to court. Ndiwe ofunta ai? Kupanda nzelu monga chi-president chako!

  18. #21 ITALIAN BUNGA BUNGA – Even the Post Newspaper has already started criticising President Sata’s decisions. This is just within 1 week of taking over. What do you think? So now let us see you PF cadres what you will say about the Post.

  19. When are we going to start getting news about actual corruption cases? ZAMTELL went to court. Those not satisfied let them take it up so that we move on. Let us not be enemies of our own by dwelling so much on the bad. Advertise Zambia for good things also.(By the way, what happened to the case of those who were getting money for National Airports through not remitting what was due to it?)
    I hope those responsible for curbing corruption will be at alert on issues such as supply of services to govt institutions such as mealie meal to Army, Police. I hope they will remain competitive and transparent. 

  20. MR.L. M wa ku Chipata is being used to fight his own brother. Sad! After abemba has used him they will throw him like a rug! Appreciate people who see you off to the top Mr. L.M

  21. our country has been labelled as one of the most corrupt nations. this is a simple matter that we can eradicate.if we look at our government institutions they are an embarassment..workers in these institutions can not follow protocol and procedure that is supposed to ensure the smooth running of these institutions because of nichekeleko..we need people that are ready to work for the benefit of the nation and are educated in these areas..top management of these institutions should lead by example by stumping authority and power on employees that violate rules and procedure by  acting in the right manner and avoiding shortcuts and complicated procedures in your line of work…think about others

  22. #28 You are right on! The beginning of our new presido’s downfall is his appointment of relatives in strategic posisitons. Who says only Bembas can do these jobs. I thought he would unite the nation by being fair to all tribes! This is absurd and we wont forget this in the next elections! Relatives are the worst people to trust even on your farm or business. We shall see where this takes him.

  23. #26 Chris don’t mix things up. Love is one thing and the fight against corruption is another. Love does not mean shielding corruption. We can’t develop our country by shutting our eyes and pretending everything is alright. This would mean we have no love for our country.
    We can only sow the new seed of development after purging out the weed of corruption.

    It seems to me that when people run out of sensible arguments, the only thing that’s left for them to do is start insulting or start bringing up tribal issues (both are symptoms of pure basic insecurity complex). That is when I know it is time for me to leave the blog..

  24. The moment you get relatives in your business is the begining of your downfall. I’m Bemba & have vast experience on this one. I pray it won’t happen to Zambia with Sata’s relatives in the driving seats

  25. No 33.Nine Chale thanks! What I meant is if guided by Love you will not be PARTIAL OR moved to fixing others and narrowing corruption spectrum. How about wrongs in Private Sector? How about Lawyers for instance who have become rich on compensation money of poor widows and ophans? Love will open your eyes to identifying mistakes and deliberate motives. Mind you anyone working will make mistakes. Already in the desire to deliver, President Sata is already alleged to go against the constitution he swore to protect eg hiring/appointing a bankrupt! Hatred would actually move one to start impeachment process, but love would give it a benefit of doubt that he meant well. ANYONE WORKING WILL MAKE MISTAKES. MIND YOU MOST OF THE CORRUPTION IS PERCEIVED AS THE LAW HAS NOT PROVED MMD LEADERS GUILTY!

  26. good for nothing people!!!! they are 72 tribes in Zambia and you can’t balance from that,go for quality not tribe you suckers,and the man can only appoint those who support his vision,not unreasonable antagonist brats…everyday it’s Bembas this,Bembas that,live with it suckers,Bembas are not singing songs about others

  27. Is Sikaneta one of the president’s girlfriends? I hear Ms Inutu Suba is also one. I wonder how Dr Kaseba feels about all these!!

  28. nother Riff raff. Sata must arrest her for conniving with Kaande to robb Zambian of their money by over invoicing when she was PS home affairs. Job seeker and uhhhhh, God knows how much she looted

  29. Mwe bantu, when did amai Susan change to be on the boat and not the sinking titanic? Most corrupt woman ever, dont listen to her

  30. We won’t give Sata more time to develop the nation. He himself promised to develop the country in 90 days and put more money in our pockets. He was either lying or he was telling the truth. As for the woman in the story, it is hard to believe that the corrupt are now trying to show us that they’re clean. Corruption should be fought though.

  31. I surely hope corruption will come to an end,look at our Country,our embassy in China,so many diplomats just enjoying government money when we all have to enjoy that just because we are not connected,this i wish the President to change and clean the embassy of all these diplomats.They take the embassy to be their homealone,if children connected to ministers are there they are offered drinks,but for those of us no.I will be graduating next year July hopeful to get a job back home not nchekeleko thing.The accountant who calls himself sifaya even tells some of my fellow friends when they ask for bursaries top up money that if they are not connected then nothing,what kind of government wastes money on such people.The President should come and see how many diplomats are here.
