The Patriotic Front (PF) has applauded Lusaka High court for expeditiously handling of the case in which Kasama central PF Member of Parliament Savior Chishimba had filed in an injunction to restrain party leader Michael Sata from filing his Presidential nominations.
PF Spokesperson Given Lubinda said the quick judgment by the high court has enhanced the democratic and judicial system adding that it will go down in the history of Zambia.
He said this at a press briefing In Lusaka on Tueaday.
Mr. Lubinda noted that had the high court delayed in passing judgment, Mr. Sata would not have successfully filed in his Presidential nominations.
He urged PF members and Zambians to refrain from engaging in into acts which might compromise the peace country has enjoyed for many years.
He has since challenged Mr. Chishimba and his lawyer to tell the county the motive behind their action.
Mr. Chishimba yesterday filed in an application to the high court to refrain PF Leader Michael Sata from filling in his Presidential nomination.

And the Michael Sata Website has published the following statement :
MMD/UPND PLOT UNCOVERED
On Tuesday 24th September Mr Sata officially became a candidate for October presidential elections when he successfully filed his nomination papers at the High court.
Attempts by MMD and UPND to prevent him via a Dr Saviour “Chainama ” Chishimba’s injunction was thrown out the windows of the High court with costs.
Meanwhile a UPND MP Garry Nkombo (witness in Sundaih Kayumba corruption case) was last night seen driving off from the court premises with Dr Chishimba and his lawyer one Mutakela Lisimba (once suspended by the Law Association of Zambia for abusing client’s money).
We have known and confirmed that MMD and European sponsors have given HH’s men $2M to prevent Mr Sata from becoming the next president.
Plan 1 was via a Dr Chishimba injunction and Plan 2 is now for HH to stand so he splits the opposition vote.
Whatever the method, it wont work…THE HARDER THEY COME, THE HARDER THEY WILL FALL..
pabwatoooo
Mension th European sponsors.
How do you get Sata’s cmpaign song on You tube. Somebody said its on there.
Those are baseless accusations! Sata is really desperate to rule Zambia,time will prove him wrong.
“We have known and confirmed that MMD and European sponsors has given HH’s men $2M to prevent Mr Sata from becoming the next president.” if this data is ture, please HH use it to trash Hon Sata and his PF (Poor Finishers).
However, since it is untrue, make sure you win the elections by a landslide Sir HH so that these Bemba-tribalists of Hon Sata’s nature will not get to Plot 1.
Vote HH for a real ray of change and hope that all Zambians can believe and trust in. I am waiting for former Zed President Chiluba to finish the PF’s Hon Sata like he (Chiluba) did in 2001 and 2006.
U also received money from the Taiwanese as well..
Go on Sata, we are behind. Be careful they may kill you.
#3 GO TO YOUTUBE TYPE IN (PF SATA A TEKE)
Let us be real, to make a real change you need to have the numbers in Parliament. HH cannot even form a front and middle bench with the MPs that he has. He can bring no change at all 22 MPs against 128 is too steep a mountain to climb.
Have a look at the crisis in Burundi and in Malawi. Unlike the United States our political culture cannot work with such an environment. Let us not breed confusion and crisis in our land. A minority President with only 22 MPs or one with 14 (-25 rebels) cannot hope to effectively rule. We do not need chaos just to fulfill selfish ambitions of people who just want to get into State House even though they know they do not have the numbers in Parliament.
Iwe (you) MODERATE #9, i gave you points in the other thread and now you have run to this one without writing me solutions! I will bring my comments on here too just now for you to respond.
Pragmatist you lied about Dr Makasa. Uleke ubufi waumfwa! makaka!
#9, have you (MODERATE) ever read the Zambia Republican Constitution of 1996 which we as Zambians are operating under? I urge you to desist from posting statements that reduce you to person who never entered grade 8 where all those who made it learnt some a subject known as CIVICS – which is essentially the Zambian Constitution.
I case you mislead the Constitution, it allows for elections to be held within 90 days of the death of a sitting President regardless of what numbers of MPs from any political party compose our current Parliament. I expect all PC users to be able to read (especially important National documents) and write.
Grandparent RB (73 yrs old) is ALRIGHT for Zambia except that his age demands that he goes to rest at his farm. Thabo Mbeki, 66 yrs, the powerful son of Africa has demonstrated that a person can leave the Country President’s seat for others.Since the age of ritirement for civil public servants in Zambia is 55 yrs, only HH (46 yrs) has a moral right to rule Zambia for the next 8 years and then leave it to us when he will be 54 yrs old in 2016, by God’s grace.The issues about RBB’s DIPLOMACY and all are good, but what did not he (RBB) do since 1964 in UNIP and now MMD which he thinks he can do now?
Kupusa sichupiti!
HH forward, the man could not explain his connections with Taiwanese businessmen, he could not explain what he was doing in Malawi where it is rumoured he was meeting a witch doctor, get real and get on with the job Sata if you still have anything left!!! atase! Your own MPs taking you to court over your undemocratic tendencies and then you want to run a country you cannot even run a simple thing like a party, get a life mudala iwe wakota nobufi bobe!!! And what language ati Chainama case, when you were appointing him as Kasama contestant you did not see this?
Kanfuko pliz get your mouth baptised and stop insulting.Are you also rowing a bath ati ubwato? Ubulanda ba PF tepa kusabaila ala muli mucibe!!!!
Correction meant “bath tub”
Thanks #8, got the song on YouTube.
babwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaato
(The forward hand) Ijanza, Zambia forward. The UPND’s HH. This race is not for TIMID SOULS or faint-hearted. Go and sleep/relax in bed if the race has worn you out or if you have nothing more to do on here. I am on National Duties here making sure that Hon. Sata does not get anywhere near Plot 1 after the 30/10/2008 elections.
NIPA BWATOOOO
Mwiiyi wa munsanza is so narrowminded.You have to accept that Zambia is a free country with PF, MMD,UNDP and others.We heard you right mate i.e that you hate Sata as well as everyone supporting him.So if PF supporters are celebrating let them do so.Or just go and sleep.
Ba Ponyax bakaamba sort out this Mwiiyi and send him where he belongs.Achilamo
#John is that your REAL middle name?
#16
Kanfuko(#’s 12 & 15), we feel your pain man, but please articulate issues and watch your tongue. Some of us are God fearing and too old for the kind of thing.
Pf supporters should prepare for the worst, Sata does not have the support in towns like he had in 2006, and he has not even campaigned in rural areas where he lost in the last elections. The boat is full of thugs and overconfident cadres who may start riots when they lose the elections.
Gary Nkombo is a very ambitious and money hungry boy who easily forgets where he came from. That boy has finished all political parties in the hope of getting a name. He married the late Kaping’a daughter so that he could share in the spoils that Kaping’a left behind. On his own he is a nothing but a PIMP and bootlicker who has licked HH’s backside for years.
Garry can go to any extent to fill his pockets with the grren leaf. We know you muusa, icindi cako tacinasika chakuunka ku State House tacinasika….Kolindila…In fact he is not only a witness but a brother in law to Sunday ….Garry teka squinty eye panshi
I PERSONALLY LOVE THIS MAN, GIVEN LUBINDA. HE IS A VERY CONSISTENT MAN. OBVIOUSLY, IF PF WINS HE IS AN AUTOMATIC CANDIDATE FOR 2011. AND I WILL CAMPAIGN FOR HIM AT HOME AND ABROAD. BUT JUST ONE ADVICE PF-WHATEVER YOUR PROGRAM, CAMPAIGNING IN RURAL ZAMBIA SHOULD SYART AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. TIME IS RUNNING OUT. VIVA LUBINDA, VIVA SATA, VIVA ALL PF.
Sata, is a Dictator, Rude and has no respect for mankind, I recall, that when he was Health Minister, he used to fire people over the Phone. He even Deposited council Funds in his personal a/c, when he was Governor for Lusaka,hence got interest accrued and if put as President, he will steal all Economical resources for Zambia. So please guys, vote wisely.
#30 (Pitrosi) wakamba zoona. Given Lubinda is not only consistent but also level headed. (And also he gives us respect, iwe not vichibuku, when we are at that kama nice place of his in Chilenje called Namakau).
Some people you are like ‘mwalozewa’ forget Lubinda he’s nothing just like his father Sata.
True, there is simply no going back. HH will be the next president; and the good news is that even you guys against the man will be more than welcome to be part of the process of change in Zed
I can’t believe that you, so many miles away can still be dreaming just about chibuku.
The saying is true “you can take one out of the Geto but you can’t take the Geto out of them”
Fellow zambians, have you all forgotten how we were insulted by Sata for being against chiluba’s third term bid! Sata even turned against his church for being against chiluba!! Can we today trust such a man! How I wish ZNBC could air some of those tapes again!
The only words I can remember coming from Sata’s mouth are curse words. The man cursed under Dr. K.K., Chiluba and Dr. Mwanawasa. I mean he does it all the time.
Sata & his PF love to alarm the nation! As far as Cycle Mata is concerned, everything is a conspiracy! Give us a break, nothing seems normal for you old chap, whether it’s reduction in mealie meal & petrol prices, better floor price for farmer’s maize etc What kind of President will you be?! If you have credible evidence that the Europeans are trying to manipulate the coming by-elections, pls present us with a detailed dossier & not just opening your trap aimlessly!!! Pabwato, my a$$…
PF grow up for crying it loud Sata u are ancient and should be wise enough. HH is a competitor and is not in split votes-his party is equally big. cant u just campaign instead of attcking yo mates. You are so desperate and u want to alarm the nation with nonsensical accusations!! that statment sucks. stop dreamin. i repeat GROW UP!!!
MODERATE : How many mps does sata have? Remember the 2o something PF mps. oh sorry i forgot that u just woke up from your 1 year slumber
#40 those mps are actually 26, they are de campaigning Satana. Sanan is dying soon, no more state funerals they are costly. VIVA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
sata’s time is up.let him start looking for a farm to settle.We can’t afford to let him comfuse zambia with his Kaponia cohorts.
#42 yes he must find a farm called state house,
let him reign for 2 yrs
Chi SATA thrives in and on IGNORANCE. Cha chabe chabe. Chi Gabenga chija.
I like some of the big words here, nonsensical, like in Nigerian movies.
Let SATA come to my village. I have a surprise for him.
LT stop this rubbish. I want my postings you claim to have taken to be published. What’s up with you?
Ladies and Gentlemen, say whatever you want for now but come Oct 30, nipa Bwato! Mufuna simufuna MC Sata will be next presido.
All the tricks tried so far have failed! ACTION!!!!!!!
Power to the pipo!
VIVA PF

SATA is sick, very old, outdated, corrupt and very blind economically, with no international relations. He is a blind leader, and all his follwers are blind. He represents the past.
Viva UPND Viva HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
#46 your village being… in Botswana?
Let SATA run 100 miles campaigning and you will see what happens before polling day – another trip to South Africa but am sure this time with a chartered plane and NOT govt money, I hope!!!

RBrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrb
#41 you have no right to call anyone satana……if you don’t like sata fine..!! no one will force you, just try to have some respect for another human…i may not like sata that much but i wouldn’t sink as low as you have, your mouth needs holy water, and your heart exocism…..muchinje
Anyone with an idea of michael sata’s web address?
jean
HH WILL NEVER EVER RULE ZAMBIA
#51. you must be a sick and wet blanket yourself. Our president, i mean mr Sata and not any other,challenged all political party presidents standing as the national president to go with him to any medical centre and have the three tests done on them. Namely Hiv/Aids,kaposis sarcomar and the heart.Tell your president to challeng Mr.Sata on these tests
Iwe Chinga
#56
Iam working at the border, Zambian side. Sim card across much cheaper. Otherwise very much in-touch with kwa haye. Wautwa sintle?
#62
Mr. Ken are you serious, just 7 months ago SATA was thanking the late for spared life. Halo Halo
Let us learn to face facts and deal with things as they really are.
Those who are doubting HH please phone Lusaka at Freedom park. lusaka is on fire.pipo realy want change sata must work hard to beat HH.Its live dont be cheated by the internet .pick a phone you get the truth
Mwiiyi waku musanza don’t you feel painful to be so dull such that you are failing to analyze the simplest thing. Go back to the village were you ran away from and continue taking those goats you left to their pastures because you truly are a nuisence.
#29 – eh…dont hate because the guy has made it and you are still struggling sweeping the streets wherever you are…whats wrong with getting married to a minister’s daughter and having a General for a brother-in-law?…nothing!!!
Moses Kunda #2493: “I personnaly feel that we should give chance to Mr Sata this time around to become president of Zambia.”
MBULO: Why? Is it because we have to conform to your feelings? We need logic.
Moses Kunda #2493: ”Mr. Sata has vast experience and once elected he will change a lot of things.”
MBULO: Change for the sec of just change is not good enough. It does not matter the amount or quantity of things changed, what is of significance is the quality of change. Is it positive or negative change? That is what we should look out for as paramount.
Moses Kunda #2493: “He is a very practical man.”
MBULO: Indeed he is. Even Adolf Hitler was like that and very and bette
MBULO: Indeed he is. Even Adolf Hitler was like that and very and better charming too. By the way he promised the Germans employment and he delivered through vast construction works of roads, rail system and the Military. Most of what you see as the mentioned infrastructures now in German is the brain child of Hitler. But Hitler is not renowned for this but for hunger for political power and abuse of it. Being practical is not enough.
Moses Kunda #2493: “Mr Rupia Banda does not deserve to be president of Zambia after having been a Unipist through and through.”
MBULO: The same can be said about the cobra: Sata does not deserve to be president of Zambia after having been a Unipist t
MBULO: The same can be said about the cobra: Sata does not deserve to be president of Zambia after having been a Unipist through and through. He actuary was one of the last to jump off UNIP onto MMD on one of the last rallies at Kafue Roundabout in 1996. Most of the current crop of politicians were once members of UNIP.
Moses Kunda #2493: “If Rupia wins the presidency the country will stagnate.”
MBULO: Why? Because you think government is run by one man? Or is it because you think RB does not have a good-looking face?
Moses Kunda #2493: “This man was just appointed to help Mwanawasa and not to be president.”
MBULO: Wau!!! what a logic!!!Sata was just appointed to help KK and
MBULO: Wau!!! what a logic!!!Sata was just appointed to help KK and then FTJ and not to be president.
Mbulo and Moses: could you please stop stoning at each other, your vote is a secret. So lets just wait for 30th October and the days after when results will be announced. Whoever wins, good luck. Lets just pray that we Zambians will continue enjoying the peace we have had since Independence and pray that whoever takes over, will build on a good Zambia. Thats all we are looking for, not tribe, dictatorship, age, and the like. Its principle, dedication and hardwork, thats all. Good luck and lets vote wisely.
immediatelly after celebrating MCS’s win, we’ll embark on vigorous campaign for given lubinda’s 2011 presidential elections. viva taoloka!viva MCS!viva lubinda!viva experience!viva 17 tribes(or is it 19 now)!viva zambia!viva ziko lamutendele amama!
PF supporters have you noticed the fear all these bloggers have on our President, this race is not for porpularity is doing the right thing for the people, POWER to the PEOPLE, Amaka, kubantu, you can insult swear but PF’s vison still remains, SATA you have my vote. the truth hurts. there are so many contenders but every minute its SATA, and lets keep Praying.
#64. Iam very serious.may be you are joking yourself.From the time Mr.Sata challenged presidential candidates to go for the tests with him to any independent testing centre,how many candidates came to challenged him? No one came forth. Not even your candidate(Mr Banda)beacause you sound MMD,your language is that of a cader from MMD.This time you have a rough one.NI PA BWATO.
HH is the right candidate for the presidency seat he will empower the youth and make sure they have a better tomorrow he is fit physically,mentally and spiritually…he is intelligent and hardworking therefore he will teach us how to work hard,have an education and boost our economy….THE WAY FORWARD..we will vote UPND…
HH is the best man for zambia,educated healthy intelligent and most of all he will do something for the youth who are the future leaders of tomorrom and who have to be empowered for they are highly responsible for a better tomorrow.we need fresh blood the old players are tired we need a new team…a new broom sweeps clean…
Love the advice about writing about what happens ??behind the scenes?? and personal experience; these help to humanize the story and keep readers coming back.
