POLICE in Eastern Province have instituted investigations into reports that seven MMD officials are allegedly behind spreading rumours that President Michael Sata had died.
Eastern Province deputy commissioner of police Anderson Cheengo confirmed that the police had opened an inquiry into the matter. Last week, rumours circulated in the province that Mr. Sata had died and made many people panic.
“The police are investigating the matter and I will avail you with the details including the appropriate charge once the investigations are done,” Mr. Cheego said. He said the provincial secretary Eularia Mwale called him to inform him about the rumours that President Sata had died.
And Patriotic Front provincial chairperson Lucas Phiri alleged that the seven MMD officials, who included Chipangali Member of Parliament (MP) Vincent Mwale, spread the rumour about President Sata during a by-election campaign meeting for Rukuzye Ward in Chipangali Constituency held at Vizenge Village.
“The PF reported seven MMD officials to the police for defaming Republican President Michael Sata including spreading false information that he had died.
“They include MMD Chipangali MP Vincent Mwale and Rukuzye ward aspiring candidate and other party officials,” he said. But when reached for a comment, Mr. Mwale denied ever defaming Mr. Sata.
He said he never issued such a statement, adding that he was mature enough to know that such rumours amounted to a treasonable offence. Mr. Mwale challenged Mr. Phiri to produce evidence on the allegations levelled against him.

Now, why you would someone go and spread lies? People sure hunger for trouble.
Long live Mr. President.
cheap politics, am dissapointed with my friend Vincent Mwale for sinking so low to politics of lies. Anyway long live president Sata, such rumours are blessings to you.
Puleeeze! Imwe ba kapokola go and catch real criminals and stop wasting tax payers money on trivial things. Dr Malama is a decent man but now he is being moulded into a cadre as well. Eesh! What a waste of time!
RB was the most defamed President in Zambia’s history. Where was the Police? If the President is rumoured to have died, so what? He shall die one day anyway! Most of us shall die.
Rubbish! What kind of an offence is that?
I thought things were going to change with the new government, but alais the police are back to their usual ways of being tools of the ruling party. Why should a romour about the president being dead become so important when they are more serious social vices that the police should be dealing with, many people have been roumoured dead all over the world even Obama for that matter. Is part of life, if the president is not happy with being romoured dead then he is in the wrong office, these are non issues, he has a job to do and the police have real work to do let them do that and leave market stories to those who do not have work to do.
Ah, its just a rumour. after all he is still alive.why cant he just thank God and pray for a long life?
Mulebakakako bangwele.
This is not important at all.Here in the UK people say all sorts of things
about the Prime Minister but he just ignores them.Mr President you are
still alive so this is a non issue.All of us will die one day anyway.
Some of you people are really lunatics! How can the death of a president (no matter who occupies that office) be such a joking matter to you? Do you realize how easily a country can descend into chaos after the death of a president? The death of a president is a very serious national security issue that should not be toyed with, you bozos!
Do you even know what goes on behind the scenes when a President dies? I think most of Zambians have been “drunk on peace” for far too long! For what purpose would someone spread such a rumor that the President is died when they are not even allowed to do such a thing by both protocol and law? Whether you hate the man currently occupying the Presidency, at least you should have some decency to recognize the seriousness of certain issues!!!!
Those people who owe the living to Sata are the ones that are angry about this because they know they will have nothing when he is gone, hence the anger that someone should dare suggest that their bread basket might be gone. What a shame!
I can foresee Satana dying soon. Just wait
You are not the giver of life so shut your trap!
your father sooner
Long live, our president
#13, you will definitely kick a bucket before he does.how on earth do you wish for someone to die? akamutwe!
# 13 please wish not evil on others cause you will find that the same words that you are wishing others comes to you before comes true to your friends, i pray that you will live and not die until you repent
Power Failure(PF) what are you scared off kanshi?Like or not your Sata like anybody else will one day die so whats the issue?Just fullfill your cheap promises to your stupid kaponyas instead of been scared of your own shadows.
May our Lord Jesus the Life,satisfy our president Mr MC Sata with long life and show him his great salvation.AMEN.
When Levy was re-elected, it was Sata who claimed we will have a bye election and true to his premonition, Levy died and we had a bye election. Now, this is just his own medicine people are making himtaste, he should just swallow it not “ku kowana kowana inge luwawa lwa mutanganyoo!” And we all know his health is bad, we all appreciate at some point or another we are dead people. However, that Zondwe’s days on this planet are numbered is a foregone conclusion. The health Clause in our presidential election conditions should actually have excluded him from running. Only his fellow Nabwalyas he has saturated a cabinet with will moan when he kicks the bucket, alah!
Those two people reconciled but you an interested party is still holding the grudge.
I am PF yes. But a roumer should not let us stop working bapolice naimwe. Long live Michael
a person can play with politics but not rumours of the sitting president that is died that is treason. let respect the law even we dont like the president it not possible to have a president who be liked by every person in the country.
State House can release a statement to advice the nation that the president is alright and that such rumours are bad taste. Period. No need to make it a big issue. Better to direct resources to more worthy causes.
BAKAPONYA. THIS IS JUST A ROMOUR WHY WASTE RESOURCES ON INVESTIGATIONS.
PEOPLE TELL LIES EVEN THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF HAS TOLD LIES.
SO WHAT .ALL OF US ARE GOING TO DIE ANYWAY.THOSE WHO TOLD LIES ABOUT SATA BEING DEAD AND EVEN THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF SO WHAT.
But why worry if you are not dead? If you start sleeping and disappear for days, people will assume you are dead. People want a visible and inspirational leadership.
stop smoking dobo!!
#17 Sata will die atleast having achieved being presido,now your HH will neva be presido,next we are voting Chipimo,your HH will ever remain a bantustan president.
En way, in African or Zambian traditions once you wish a person to die before his or her time, that person shall live long, So Sata Long Live president. Finally it shows how the moral decay of some in this country and actual people who came up with such a story will go first.
He is probably justbsuffering fron temporary narcolepsy,that is not the same as dying.Everybody
needs a rest including presidents especially taht he has ben thinking and working at breakpoint
since assuming office.If he is not seen in the public eye he might just be having a little siesta which he is entitled to anyway——-after all he is only human and prone to fatigue,mental,physical
and psychological.Dont allow these roumours to get to your head Mr President take a rest and
come back and continue your firing spree of corrupt parastatal chiefs and their cronies.Good work done at ZESCO.Those THUGS were planning to sell it!!
all those spreading such malicious rumours are from the opposition, ba MMD is this the kind of politics you were planning to do when you were in government? UPND should just shut up cos they have never tasted being in government and will never be
Uncle Sata, us abena chuulu it is a taboo to call a persons who is alive as dead. that persons calling you died we shall prepare nshima so that he/she eats you alive since they have lready killed you beside God’s word the bible says we should give respect to those who are taking a lead among us. You are a President and taking the higest lead so that person calling you died is already cursed and dead himself/herself in God’s eyes

When Mushota is not there we miss her, with her Old Scotsh fience in a Skilt… she could have commented how her Fience may have been rumoured dead.
He wished death unto Levy and Levy dully died. So if precedence is anything to by those Chipatans could be onto something coming our way. So why not start preparing in advance for the inevitable instead of wasting time bullying people?
Remember the story of the boy who used to shout “Lion” when there were no lions. One day a real Lion came and ate him coz people thought hea was joking and fooling them-they never went to help him. So be careful when talking about other people being dead. Nakuuzankoni cabe
DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, GOD OF GOD, KING OF KINGS, ANSWER TO ALL OUR PROBLEMS, DAILY PROVIDER, PROTECTOR OF EVERYONE, MAY YOU SEND 21 ANGLES TO FORM A THICK SHEILD AROUND BAKATEKA BA SATA SO THAT NO ENEMY IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST WILL PENETRATE, AMEN
NO WEAPON FASHIONED AGAINST BA SATA SHALL BE ABLE TO PROPER.ALL THE ENEMIES BE SCATTERED NOW IN THE NAME OF JESUS.SATA SHALL NOT DIE BUT LIVE AND DECLARE THE WORS OF THE LORD.

just a romour do you need the police to investigate? come to think of it!!!!! where is the president? the last time I heard of him was when he was visiting a private clinic for medication..
Never will that happen as iam now enjoying my VOLT.ba MMD are just jealous seeing what sata is doing and they didnt. so before their stealing problems can be reviewed, those are now their stories.viva PF viva SATAAAAAAAAA!
Ba Sata thrived on propagating rumours on ill-health on his opponents. Sata wished Mazoka dead, he wished Levy dead, he wished George Kunda dead, he prayed for the demise of FTJ. Yet no Police investigations were instituted against Sata. It is silly for the Police to abandon the protection of citizens from real criminals just to earn allowances on the pretext of hunting for rumour mongers. We know Sata suffered a heart attack for which he is prone to meet a fatal end if it reccurs on his health. The Presidential post needs men of courage – not COWARDS who ran away from their wives shadows. The Police in Eastern are merely attracting hostility from the general public. If I had a car I will findd it difficult to give a lift to a needy Policeman/woman in uniform. Lucas Phiri lost elections.
vincent mwale is a satanist this country should get reed of this man he s a threat to our society long live our beloved president and may our Lord jesus christ add more years to yr life peace and love.
