A Jovial and fit looking President Michael Sata has arrived back in the country from his week long private visit to India which has been a subject of speculation.
The presidential Jet touched down at Kenneth Kaunda International airport at around 14:40 hours.
Upon arrival, the president sent journalists who had gone to the airport expectant of his comment on the latest developments in the country into laughter after he jokingly said that he thought they were dead.
President Sata could however not give the journalists interviews who expected him to comment on resolutions of the Barotse National Council resolutions and the debate stirred by the speculation on his India visit.
The president was welcomed by vice president Guy Scott, defence minister Geoffrey Mwamba, home affairs minister, Kennedy Sakeni, Finance minister Alexander Chikwanda, Defence chiefs, Indian High commissioner to Zambia Ashok Kumar and other senior government officials.
During his private visit to India, the President engaged various investors from that country who have since shown interest to set up base in Zambia.
He was accompanied by his wife Dr Christine Kaseba-Sata and his Press Aide George Chellah.
And Indian High Commissioner to Zambia Ashok Kumar says it is gratifying that the president took time off his private visit to India to meet with some Indian companies.
In an interview with journalists at the airport, Mr. Kumar said President Michael Sata’s visit to India has rekindled that country’s interest in investing in Zambia.
QFM
Did he seem to have both bowls when he arrived. Because from the picture he still looks to be in pain. Ukwa at its best
God bless Zambia. Long live Sata
Welcome back Mr President. Hope you had a fabulous time and hope the docs gave you the all clear. God bless you.
The president seems to love indian attire.
Why was he opening the door of that benz? And who is that guy emerging?
Sata went to India for a medical check up couldnt go to nearby RSA too ashamed to be treated by Zambian Doctors and nurses. He lashed out at Zambian professionals in the diaspora while he was in Botswana.
SATA HATERS ARE DYING OF DIARRHEA.
GO, HANG YOURSELVES AND DIE. I WISH HH WITH HIS UPND PARTY MEMBERS COULD MEET MR. PRESIDENT TOMORROW AND HAVE A CHOCK OF SEEING A GHOST.
LONG LIVE MR. PRESIDENT, WE LOVE YOU NOW AND ALWAYS.
Nachula, dont get get excited. Sata is naturaly a very dark person. Today he looks yellowish. Unless he is using Jaribu, there could be some organs especially kidneys which may be mulfunctioning
Dont get it twisted. I have nothing against sata as a person, actually I want him to live long enough to realise his stupidity after he leaves power which is making him drunk. I pray for him to live longer, but he is a failed president already
he is only 5 months into his presidency and there is 4 and a half yrs to go!!!!! you will be popping pain killers for all those yrs as the old man is going no where yet
So where is George or the first lady in the photo either one of them took the photo, I’m surprised that the president was using non armoured merc.
first lady getting off same car on other door.see that figure?george must be in car either ahead or behind sata’s or taking photo as you have rightly put it.sadly the photo shows that the man is in pain despite trying to pretend.i wonder why zambian presidents keep illness a secret,like chiefs
Yes ,haters go hug a transformer.If Mazoka was still alive some people who’s name i cannot remember wouldn t have been known,typical property grabber mentality,like vultures they wait to smell blood before they move in.By the way best wishes to George Kunda,get well soon,such is life one never knows when one will become a patient.
Bloggers switch on. This picture was when he was in India. Can’t you see the Punjabi guy opening his door. He was not given a Presidential Reception, he went to have his ****** checked by the doctors
How come he has no security, no ADC and it a hotel porter opening his door and not an ADC or a policeman?
This picture makes me feel proud.mwenye opening door for sata.
I LOVE YOU SHIKULU
No.5 Nachula
What has HH got to do with Sata’s arrival and life? HH isnt like Sata who rejoiced when Mwanawasa collapsed in Libya.Â
UPND has made a press release to dispel the allegations made against them. But NO! You wont understand their statement because you are a Pathetic Fool cadre.Â
UNITED PATHETIC NIDYELEPO DUDES(UPND), THATS WHO U ARE. IT SEEMS WE ALL HAVE A P FOR PATHETIC. FOOLISH HH. GO AND RULE WESTERN PROVINCE. INSTEAD OF HELPING ALL OF US TO HANDLE BAROTSE SAGA, U R BUSY INSITNING WETERNERS TO REBELS AGAINST SATA GOVMNT. HH R U A TRUE ZAMBIAN? *****
YEAH, YOU’LL DIE OF DIARRHEA YOU UPND IMBECILES.
NOTHING WILL CHANGE YOU EXPOSED YOUR FOOLISHNESS BY REJOICING OVER SOMEONE’S SICKNESS COM IT IS RECORDED.
ITS UNFORTUNATE THAT EVEN THIS CHANCE HAS SLIPPED OFF YOUR HANDS. *****S!!

There is nothing to be proud of. Ordinary Zambians in UK when they go to Special Functions such as Exclusive VIP Parties at 5 Star Hotels, they have white potters opening their cars. Have you not travelled the world.Â
The look in Sata’s stare at the Indian is very funny. Does Sata look scared or is it just me interpreting that stare?
HAHAHA!!! WHY ARE YOU PUTTING HH IS THIS ISSUE!! IS IT THAT YOU HAVE BEEN BLINDFORDED WITH THIS HOMOSEXUAL MAN CALLED MMMEMBE? SATA IS SICK THAT IS THE FACT.. HE IS SOON TO GO FOR REVIEWS THAT IS THE FACT.
HE LIED DURING CAMPAIGN TO CREATE JOBS FOR YOU IN 90 DAYS THAT IS THE FACT.
HE LIED TO PUT MONEY IN YOUR SO CALLED POCKETS THAT IS THE TRUTH.
HE LIED TO HAVE GONE FOR PRIVATE VISIT WHEN IN ACTUAL SENSE HE WENT FOR MEDICALS TREATMENT THAT IS THE FACT.
YOU KOLWESTANS WE KNOW YOU AND YOU HAVE DESTROYED THIS COUNTRY SO MUCH WITH YOUR UNSTABLE POLICIES.
THERE IS NO INVESTOR CONFIDENCE IN THIS PF GOVT, THAT IS TRUE!!
WHAT LIES ARE WE EXPECTING???
BAROTSELAND IS WAITING FOR YOU UKWA!! LELO LELO!!!!!:((

INSTEAD OF HELPING ALL OF US TO HANDLE BAROTSE SAGA, U R BUSY INSITNING WETERNERS TO REBELS AGAINST SATA GOVMNT. HH R U A TRUE ZAMBIAN?

come on, sata doesnt travel with huge security detail. he is a free spirit. dont you remember him travelling by public transport in livingstone. that is hesms. down to earth
Inshimbi ninshimbi
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is closely linked to Erectile Dysfunction; I’ve no pity for Ukwa. Let me explain; there was a time when Sata poked fun at my late uncle LPM, claiming there were sexual problems at State House (since LPM was a prostate cancer survivor). Karma has a way of paying back in the worst of ways. Now Ukwa himself has blue balls, LMFAO. Hope he rots in hell.
GOD BLESS SATA MY PRESIDENT. MR SATA PUT YO ENEMIES INTO MORE SHOCK. ZAMBIA SHALL BE SAVED
Wwawela bikiloni!sinyinda naye ni difikoti !
When you comment please use proper grammar and spellings. Try using Google chrome it has a spell checker. I enjoy the comments but the spellings and grammar are making me sick because I have to decipher what you are trying to say.
The man’s face looked puffy and you can tell he is sick. People Sata is human and old. Let us not fool ourselves by claiming he is super fit! We should not overwork the man, he needs to rest and recuperate fully.Â
Wapya baisa
why the hate speech by some bloggers.point,sata is back & if he went for a check up we jst wish him a quick & complete recovery.some disgruntled bantustans put in yo puffy heads that the next elections wl be in 2016.for now keep the cobra in check kwasila.he is a presido.take heed
YES BA SHI CHILUFYA NABABWELA. UULEFYAYA ANYE AMAFI KU MUTIMA UBUKALI. IFIMITIBA UBUBI BA SHETANI IMWE. LET GOD SAY A FINAL WORD ABOUT EVERY LIFE. WE PRAISE GOD FOR SATA, MAY HE BLESS HIM MORE, PREPARE AÂ BOUQUET FOR HIM ANDÂ FILL HIS CUP TO THE BRIM IN FRONT OF HIS ENEMIES. WE PRAY FOR HIS WISDOM SO THAT HE LEADS MOTHER ZAMBIA TO HIGHER HEIGHTS OF PEACE AND PROSPERITY.
It is strange how much hatred people harbour in their hearts to the extent were we wish the president dead. What happened to brother loving brother and the one Zambia we used to preach? It is really a shame that we have such hatred. I wonder were we are heading to, how I wish HH and Sata could be friends and show the country that people can differ on policies and political issues but still love each other. I’m sure the UPND are just as important as the PF and they just need to harmonize themselves help lead good example of maturity.
Uli wa mano mune, your reasoning here is the only solution to all these tribal hatred we are busy planting in our selves as Zambians. God help us.
As I have been instructed in the Word of God to pray for those in leadership,I join all the others thanking our Lord for good health and travelling mercies granted to our president.May the Lord grant him wisdom to rule our beautiful country Zambia.
Welcome back Sir…..your enemies are trembling and confounded again. they thot and hoped you will come back in a casket. aluata continua………..deal with the BRE issue speedily before it degenerates into chaos. all the best of God’s wisdom as you consult before uttering stuff esp this BNC resolutions.
ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, U DISGRUNTLED LOZIS & BANTUSTANS WISHING ANGEL MICHAEL EVIL. LET HIM DIE. ARE U HAPPY///.. WE WILL VOTE FOR ELIAS CHIPIMO &NAREP, REMEMBER? VIVA CHIPIMO, VIVA NAREP, VIVA 2016///
sata you are a village ***** and you have made Zambians a laughing stock whereever you go. Time you joined Chiliba and Levy in the heaven.Â
Welcome home Mr.President Sata,can we now start sorting out them one at a time..Ili tamwalipo UBUWELEWELE bwalifula..
HEAVY SECURITY FOR WHAT? SATA BELIEVES IN GOD, JEHOVAH. HE HAS ANGELS SENT BY JEHOVAH FOR HIS SECURITY. IT ISN’T A NEW THING ANYWAY. HE ALWAYS DOES NOT WANT A LARGE-FOR-NOTHING CROWD. CALLING TRACTORS MANUFACTURERS IS A BRILLIANT MOVE. WE CAN HAVE CHEAPER TRACTORS IN THE NEAR FUTURE IN ZAMBIA, AND MORE FARMING MORE FOOD, MORE MONEY IN OUR POCKETS. 600+ HEALTH CENTRES AROUND ZAMBIA IS EQUALLY A BRILLIANT IDEA. LONG LIVE OUR PRESIDENT.
I thought this man was dead!!!!!!! Anyway, welcome sir. Hope you wont despose off our decision to secede from zambia
A leader is just like a parent and you can not use bad language on him whether you don’t like him or not, otherwise you are inviting curses on yourselves.You can not talk like that#1 and 22 mind your language, remember the story of Noah and his children. Mr Sata is our parent cos he is our president and you can not talk like that against him #1&22
Instead of intelligently debating the issue at hand all we see are disgusting insults from both sides of the arguments and from what I have observed the culprits are Bembas, Lozis and Tongas. No wonder the country seems to be accursed and doomed. One blogger here begins by spewing debasing insults and follows it by praising and asking God to bless Mr Sata. Are insults part of the Zambian cultural heritage? And you call yourselves a christian nation!
people people!!! why this hate really?? who doesnt go for medical check-ups in this world? more so if its affordable (infact free – or part of conditions of service) and one’s spouce is a medical doctor….get a life and find yourselves progressive things to do….SHA!!
all this hate speech on Lusaka times, is it legal? How can someone say they wish someone dead on the net and get away with it. Not even in the developed world is that acceptable. Some disgrantled youths who passed silly remarks on Muamba the football player who collapse due to a cardiac were arrested and have since been sentenced. Tribal politics have come to zambia because tongas are now part Zambian politics. The rest of you Zambians, think, if these pipo can behave the way they do before they are in power, image how quickly Zambia will become tongaland
“PRESIDENT Micheal Sata this afternoon arrived back home from India but declined to give an interview to journalists because he thought they were dead” Really. How about completely not saying anything saying..a bad joke from a sick president
@Yelefimo fimo
You Kolwestans really hate Tongas. Why? What have they done against you. You have been ruling Zambia for over 40 years and look at what you have to show for it. Poverty and nothing but more corruption and poverty. Stoping hating Tongas and Lozis and concentrate on uniting your lousy country. Stop tryint to take land (Itezi Tezi & Chirundu) from Southern Province. Leave the poeple alone and concentrate on implementing your stupid manefesto. Ba Swine imwe!!!
No change in Zambia while he was away! What are we the taxpayers paying his salary for? More money in HIS pocket!???
That shows he is doing nothing for us! Man of no action.
