Acting president, Rupiah Banda, has dismissed reports that the ruling MMD party has been divided ahead of next week’s presidential election.
And Mr Banda has promised to bring Kafue back to life economically once elected president in the October 30 election.
Meanwhile, former republican vice president, Nevers Mumba, has urged Zambians to distance themselves from presidential candidates preaching anarchy and insults in the run-up to the October 30 election.
Addressing scores of Kafue residents who braved a hot afternoon at Matanda football ground today, Mr Banda said the ruling MMD is intact as evidenced by the presence of finance minister, Ng’andu Magande and other party leaders at today’s rally who were said to have been sidelined in the ruling party’s campaigns.
Mr Banda said the MMD was not divided but democratic where members are willing to march together as one united force after the election of the party presidential candidate.
Mr Banda said he was the best presidential candidate in the October 30 election as he has the experience and capacity to deliver to the expectations of the Zambian people.
Mr Banda assured the people of Kafue that he is aware of the economic challenges they are going through and has already started addressing some them.
High on the agenda is the urgent need to recapitalise Nitrogen Chemicals of Zambia (NCZ), so that it can return to full and sustainable production, paying of retirees benefits and facilitating the sale of Kafue estates houses to sitting tenants.
He said Kafue is an attractive destination for fresh investment in key sectors such as tourism and agriculture in order to create jobs and wealth for the people.
The steel manufacturing plant will soon open in the district to widen avenues for employment for the locals.
Mr Banda said he is determined to improve the lives of the Zambian people as seen in the reduction of the price of fertilizer from K200,000 to K50,000 per 50kg bag.
He said consultations are also underway to reduce further the price of mealie meal so that Zambians can lead a good and happy life.
On next week’s presidential poll, Mr Banda challenged PF leader Michael Sata and UPND’s Hakainde Hichilema to renounce violence and accept the outcome of next week’s presidential election.
He said the election will be free, fair and transparent as results will be counted and signed for in the presence of all contesting parties and stakeholders at polling stations thereby leaving no room for cheating.
Mr Banda called on parties who may still have some concerns regarding the electoral process to raise them now so that they are ironed out before the October 30 election.
Earlier at the same rally, Finance Minister, Ng’andu Magande, who is also Chilanga member of parliament, said Kafue and Chilanga constituencies were ready to deliver 100 per cent vote for RB in the October 30 presidential election.
He said a lot is being done quietly in his constituency to ensure total victory for the MMD.
And former republican vice president Nevers Mumba said Zambians should uphold the principles of a Christian nation by rejecting a leader who preaches anarchy and insults.
Dr Mumba urged Zambians to turn out in large numbers and vote for Rupiah Banda for continued stability, peace and development.
United Liberal Party president ( ULP), Sakwiba Sikota, called on the people of Zambia to vote for RB as the MMD is the only party which has enough MPs to form a government representing all the nine provinces of the country.
And FDD president, Edith Nawakwi, ULP chairperson, Clementina Chipeta, MMD treasurer, Suresh Desai, Agriculture Minister, Ben Kapita and Lands Minister, Bradford Machila also addressed the rally, urging the electorate to vote for RB.
ZANIS/ENDS/JS/EB.
Can we get RB un-elected already???!!!!
The only thing that is intact Bwana Bwezani is your NOSE!!!!
How I wish these politicians could stop this habit of promising development mostly during election times. Developmental projects or talk should go on elections or no elections.
This is crazy
please dont recycle in zambia we have alot of natural resources. l mean dont bring back the same leaders who survived in all the gone parties. we need change, new brand names.
Nevers Mumba and the FDD flock are all job seekers. They are all backing Toadface and company in the hope of receiving favours and positions after October 30. They look so desperate, the whole line of recycled politicians. You are in for a rude shock. We’re booting MMD out.
This is a good one. Go RB, you are getting the act together without Mulongoti because he annoys a lot of people. Sata will kiss dust as usual.
PF stands for Perfectly Foolish!!
Nevers Mumba is so pathetic!!!!!
Y promise things only durin campaigns?
It is like lupiya banda has woken up some politicians who have been idle. where are all this people coming from after having been out of the picture for a long time for example desai,nawakwi and sakala wamutulo nevas mumba.Birds of the feathers eh ?Nowonder people should just Vote pabwatoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I think we need our presido hopefulls to start debating on open forums like the USA system so we can also keep account of promises on record.bacilamo empty promises.they also need to discuss their manifestoes on one platform face to face.
#7 y do u say nervus is pathetic? remember that he is a man of God. I think u are really gay
Zambians just look at the type of people the so called vip is addressing, this time around politics are about tangeble projects and plans. Meaningfull debats with challenging promises. listen to what Nevers says, nothing sensable to bring development to a common Zambian.
GUYZ BLOG WITH IDEAS NOT INSULTS. IP ADDRESSES ARE BEING MONITORED. CAFE OWNERS WARNED TO BE VIGILANT ABOUT MSGS SENT FROM THEIR TERMINALS. WATCH YOUR RUNAWAY IDEAS…
Same old promises they failed to honour 17 years ago. Just follow their path all the way from 1991. They tell the electorate things they would like to hear. What an insult to the poor, innocent but intelligent villagers. Then they deliver sugar and groceries. Then they come round again after 5 years, with their fat stomachs like pregnant hippos burping the same lies in the faces of the voters. It’s as cheap as they come. Toadface must face drop the likes of Nawakwi and Nevers.
Fellow Zambians, if you read what the Vip promises people during his speaches, its just about fertilizer and mealie meal reduction, will this bring economic development in this country,the UNIP type of campain where a candidate goes round distributing food stuffs is not a good one.
These elections seem to be between RB,HH and the POST! soon the POST will form a party and run for next general elections. It’s a shame how some sectors of the media now think they can influence the general public and impose a leader on them. Why can’t we focus on issues of development! If these so called media spend as much energy pointing out at things like load shedding real issues that affect real people them maybe people will start listening! If RB wins, the predictions are the Post would have found a new witch hunt just because they don’t like the looks of the man. It’s time we moved on!!
Most of you pipo either can’t wakeup to reality or are blind to the truth starring you in the face. My My who said this country is stil where it was 8 years ago. Lets learn to appreciate the strides we are collectively taking as a nation. Let’s continue at the same pace lest we crush.
THE POST TODAY: VETERAN politician Vernon Mwaanga has said people should accept generational changes and give young people a chance to rule Zambia.
Mwaanga, in an interview last Friday, said the current political leaders should remember that they have a lifespan and thereafter, another generation should take over.
Sata, sata is a mad man. Stop him at all costs. Here are the facts why he should NEVER be allowed to be president. PF has no party cards, no constitution, no membership register, no manifesto BUt STAMANIA. If as a member like Chishimba, you sue PF you can’t win because the damnPF has no leagal contract with you. They say only fools join clubs without rules. So if you claim to PF then you are a fool. Hence the intials PF standing for Poor Fools. Zambians are not fools and will not support a fool’s game!! Vote RB or HH.
This is wishfull thinking for RB, MMD is completely disgrantled.
Its time we called a spade a spade, not a big spoon.
I feel very sorry for these politicians, anyway they deserve it.
ZAMBIA’S vice-president Rupiah Banda, who is also Acting President following the death of Zambia’s leader of seven years, Levy Mwanawasa, is a career diplomat with a sideline in business and farming.Under the Zambian constitution, when a sitting president dies, the vice president automatically becomes president but must call elections within 90 days.
RB FOR PRESIDENT
THE POST: Former president Fredrick Chiluba is this weekend scheduled to travel to Luapula Province in what is believed to be a concealed attempt for him to campaign for Vice-President Rupiah Banda.
Sources close to Vice-President Banda’s campaign team disclosed yesterday that Chiluba would be travelling to Luapula Province to campaign for Vice-President Banda.(end of quote)
People what is RB up to mwe bantu?
Banda was born in 1937 in Gwanda, in the south of what was then British-ruled Southern Rhodesia, the son of Zambian migrant workers, Bwezani and Sarah Banda, RB spent his formative years in Zimbabwe.Having identified his potential at an early age, a prominent family, the Naiks took RB under their wing and sponsored his early education. The Naiks were prominent activists for majority rule in Zimbabwe and RB’s association with them piqued an interest in politics from an early age….
COME ON RB PUT YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND SHAME THE CRITICS.THE BOAT WILL SINK IN THE ZAMBEZI RIVER AND UPND WILL BE BURIED.
I can see the force RB really is. People are getting pissed off,2 agitated and furious about the progress the man has made. Only REAL MEN could have held this country together at a time like we as a country have gone thru. AND RB IS A MAN, A REAL MAN BECAUSE HE HAS DONE IT. Under PF and Sata the Post would have been closed last month, I mean the proof is there SATA and the Post. How many times has Mmeembe been in hiding, Sata whip in hand searchin for him?
Nyama soya
I for one support The Post and many other media that are doing much good to inform the general public on all comments made by all political parties in this competition. Take a look at our on ZNBC TV programme, it’s really pathetic, on top of that we are force to contribute for it to run. Sometimes we should be able to see our weaknesses so that we can improve on our strong points.
We don’t want a sick man in State House. Another state funeral will render this country bankrupt. Let Sata go for review on wednesday 29.10.08 instead of using up the little energy he’s left with. VIVA RB…CONTINUITY
ZIZI learn to change, and stop limiting yourself to the old government. If only Zambian changed the way we think we can develop to levels of Chaina,Taiwan up to Japan. If it calls for us to do business lets all do that it, for this will bring competition hence low prices thereafter economic development.
Nyama soya,u a the biggest loser.Y dnt u move with ur grand daughter?Continu attracting these old politicians LPM dumped n u’ll see the consequences.
Yes we shud see the weakness we have after real journalists have left and died leaving the Post cripled and trying to leave on past glory when after all what you don’t even know is that they are busy cutting deals (in billions) to hide the truth and while their workers are silently going without pay..Letsgive credit where its due. Am not saying ZNBC is any better? But probably they are being partial. REVERSE THE ROLES IN TODAY’S SCENARIO AND TELL ME GUD JOURNALISM
#7 by your name I’m guessing you spend most of your time wanking
#17 future zed I second you. Thats a very sensible talk.I stopped buying post.there is a lot of nonse. some dull zambians are being cheated buy the post.No development issues. The kwacha is depreciating but little is being said.hopeless campign issues is headline..If chiluba goes to luapula its headline,sata wears a dress is headline,sata getting in the Helicopter is headline etc hopless jonalism leave it to journalist. I wud love RB to win.
Good campgn song for PF though..
#31 DM. Thanx man but I have a bad habit of siding with the best and currently RB is the only man to go forward. You will believe me this time around next year.
Am so sorry ZIZI, I thought you are a person I can discuss developmental issue, i didn’t know you are just a cadre.
DM, that’s a laugh try another one better. Ok tell me where you wish to take this country and I will tell you where we have come from, where we are and confidently where were are going.
I’ll start. By 1989 things had deteriorated so much in Zambia that pipo felt it was time for change. It was genuine and I saw it with my own eyes and lived it too. The Winas and Sipalos and Mwaangas and Chilubas felt it was their duty to rescue this country. Meantime Sata wasn’t even sure those BRAVE guyz would really make KK listen to them or end in the gallows for treason. See? He starts double dealing until KK fires him. Fortunately for him Zambia is for change and MMD wins. Tell me how the country has faired from that time todate. DM
Bomboclaat!!!
LETS SAY SATA WINS NEXT WEEKS ELECTIONS AND APPOINTS HIS PARTY VICE-PRESIDENT [DR. GUY SCOT] AS REPUBLICAN VICE-PRESIDENT.THEN SINCE MR. SATA IS A HEART PATIENT,DUE TO PRESSURE OF WORK HE BECOMES INCARPACITETED OR IS UNABLE TO PERFORM AS PRESIDENT]. THE MUZUNGU WILL TAKE OVER THE REIGNS OF POWER.OR THE ZAYELO [LUBINDA] WILL BE THE ACTING PRESIDENT. OR BETTER STILL THE THUG WILLIE NSANDA WILL BE AT THE HELM. FOOD FOR THOUGHT…..
#41 You have cracked my ribssss man. You are too blunt? GUY SCOT FOR PRESIDENT? MY FOOOOOOOOT. Willie Nsanda Minister of Finance, GBM Minister of Home Affairs,.. ZAMBIA WON’T SURVIVE 90 DAYS. GOD FORBID.. RB Continues
For the first time Magande has attended RB’s rallies I think for two reasons:
1) To try and array what two senior members have said in the past two days that there’s division in MMD;
2) Chilanga is Magande’s constituency so he has no option but to be there.
If you are in Zambia I think you have noticed that things are not going well with MMD.
Zedians,
Let us vote for a an altenative to MMD by doing that we are fostering development.Shall i remind you tah the fiest Zambian government was a coilation among the parties that had contested then,in my own estimation that was the most succesfull Government we ever had,it laid the foundation for who we are now.It has been proven worldiwide that a majority government rarely listens to what the ordinary folk have to say about what they want.In Ireland,the party ruling has no majority seats in parliament(dail)so they have agreed with other parties that they form a coilation and it has worked,checks and balances are there,my fellow Irish(Zambian) bloggers will agree with me.
It is either HH or Sata,we will keep MMD in check,and they will have to prove that they can come back and bring us back to the economy of post 1964 era.
You and me ZIZI, remember all that used to happen and what transpared from 1991 todate. But believe me or not, we can not allow this time of the year to bring back cheap and non developmental politics like distribution of food stuffs and increase salaries for election purpose. For me, MMD opened many doors in peoples’s minds today, most of these housing units are a result of the same.I dont know why you should remain and not wish to change as thios has more fruits than branches.
pabwatooooooooooooooooooooooo,pabwatoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
SATA cant be trusted,he is always changing statements.More money in your pocket is not achievable.Infact we might be heading for a down fall like ZIMBAMBWE (Inflation at 200 million%….His promises on the BAROTSELAND issue will just pave way for division.”Its like fishing on a dry land”
Ba MCB, whats your view, how can improve on the lives of people in Zambia.
McCain (USA) has been endorsed by Al Quida shameeeeeeeeeee
we need fresh minds anyway…new brooms sweep clean
Neither should we listen to cheap politics of revisting the Barotse agreement, accelerrated development in 90 days and free all round education. You shud be better placed to know the dictatorial tendecies of one Michael Sata. HH has not really been an issue to me since he is misguided that money can buy the presidency, no. Look what he did to Sakwiba. Let him mature
Why don’t you accept the fact that this country is on the right track? Am amazed at how blind we can be not to see all the change around us.
GOOD NIGHT GUYZ. BLOG LIKE WISEMEN.
I don’t whether it’s only me, but it looks like they were addressing children!
Sort out your internal problems… Those saying that MMD stands to lose if they do not resolve internal conflicts are MMD members themselves e.g. MMD Lusaka Province Minister or is it Chairman and Southern Province MMD Minister. RB please advise your Ministers to keep conflicts internally. Address them directly and not the nation.
#41 — it is a sham that you are a RACIST living in diaspora. It is useless chaps like you who are contributing to the underdevelopment that we see in Zambia. Look at the US and take example. Dr Guy Scott is a Zambian and his SKIN is not what is going to rule but his thinking. I am sorry to say but your comments are very foolish!!! Thats why FAZ will never wake up because he who might have been a mastermind (Hanif) was too Indian … now what is Kalu doing?? Crap!!!!
# BA Banda i used to live in kafue and worked for Kafue textiles as a nurse when the management decided to retrench me 2gether with a few workers of ktz till finally it was closed in 2005 promising the workers of management buyout NCZ has been limping meanwhile you are buying fertilizer from ministers who bid to tenders to supply cheap fertilizer from south africa instead of revamping ncz you pay these greedy politicians ncz used to be a very good company but look at the state its in grass is almost to the head visited my home town last september thank God for chiluba he sold us those houses under INDECO We only survive coz those houses are on rent
BWANA RB HAVE YOU TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED TO THEIR BEAUTIFUL INDUSTRIES NCZ KTZ CONCRETE AND ZABIA RAILWAYS APO PENA MWAFAULA AT LEAST CHILUBA SOLD US THOSE HOUSES WHY ALLOW POLITICIANS TO BID FOR TENDERS TO SUPPLY FERTILIZER WHEN THEREZ A COMPANY NEXT DOOR THAT HAS WELL QUALIFIED PEOPLE TO MANUFACTURE FERTILIZER LOOK AT THE PLANT IDLING USED TO LIVE THERE
Can MMD, the so called ruling party, say something about the massive loses of jobs in the Copperbelt region of Zambia? What will become of the brilliant citizens of BwanaMkubwa, Lwuanshya Mining and Mopani, retrenched in the over the past few days?
Zambia needs a gentle dictator who cares for hte feeling of the poor and is ruthless with corrupt people (should hang one corrupt person and this will end corrupt practices in ainstance).
One the election are over who thinks about the woman who sleeps hungry in Chawama or the child who dies in Bauleni due to Malaria which is treatable but the parents can not afford it. Or the child who prostitutes herselt to keep her family alive.
Will Zambia ever get a true leader who doesn’t think about himself and get fat on his ill-goten gains.
If all the chilubas patels banda mwaanga and company bring the money stashed away in accounts abroad all Zambias’ economic woes would be over. God help Zambi
looking at the RB campaning team if late LPM was around would he have done the same all the former MMD that was not LPM guys now have come just aganist one MAN PF
October factor in Zambian Politics:
24Th October,1964 God delivered Zambia from the hands of the imperialists through King David (KK),1991 October 31st God re introduced multi-partism through Jacob (FTJ),10 Years later God sent Levy the levite to bring economical emancipation.
30th October,2008,Zambia crosses the Red sea to canaan by a big boat (Sata’s symbol)paddled by Archangel Micheal (Sata).
The October factor!The wind of change is blowing everywhere.MMD will be politically crushed.If they will manage to Rig in favour of Rupiah then we are heading the Zimbabwe Kenya way.
If the self confessed drug dealer and thug VJ manages to pull this election off in favour of RB.I will give him some level of respect.The shenanigans he tried to throw with Dan Kalale in Durban were quickly exposed and stopped.
RB must just retain to his country of birth Zimbabwe and try to work on their inflation rate which is over a million%.
pipo out there in zed, why bring back UNIP and Kaunda back in power? when know UNIP is V-vipuba. we dont want vipuba again.
Ka Chapi,
You strait jacket xenophobe armchair critic, instead tell your step father Sata a Nuacusa (Mwachusa)to return to Tunduma, Tanzania and burn deforestate the land there burning charcoal.RB is in Zambia to rule you like it or not.

To say the least, Nevers Mumba is a disgrace to himself.He is such a power hungry ***** who cannot see beyond his nose.Can he really become RB’s interpreter at rallies?Former veep sure.Uyu mudala ninkoko kwena.I think the people in his church must be ashamed of having a moralless pastor.He is in such a dangerous hurry to be in government.Uyu ena nangu wakumwesu, I can never vote for this rabid pastor cum politician cum interpreter

RB that tandem of thugs & economical subtouers are doing more harm to kafue residents.only 50 billion kwacha is required at NCZ.Give them u get votes,really u ve a very bad choice of choosing zambian political dustbin mwanawasa rejected them.count down of leaving state machinery shame citizens talking to kafue pipo campaigning is putting salt on the wounds already injured economically.
#41 Stop posting racially inclined messages. Guy Scott and Lubinda are both Zambians and qualfy to be presidents of Zambia. Just look at Obama in the USA. If the Americans looked at race and and the origins of Obamas father would he be so close to clinching the US presidency? PF supporters please don’t be discouraged. Hang in there and dupport Mr. Sata to the bitter end.
Thats what happens when you have been in a deep sleep-for a long time, you get to dream about your party been in perffect peace, in union and singing angelic songs, such that when you wake up, you still get to take time to realise that actually all that was a dream. And even when you get reality on the ground that your party is shambles, you still want to come out positively even when the dissaray in the party is their for all and sundry. You are living in utopia mr bwezani. Wake up and accept reality. We cannot be cheated!!! We know these things!!! We need a leader who is going to be awake in crucial times. Not dozzing off. In church??!!! I dont think we can trust this man to represent
I also maintain that MMD is not intact.
Lets go HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Viva continuity with RB,viva bribery,viva corruption.The people of Luapula know what to do with Chiluba!Racism,tribal intolerance and all types of discrimination have no place in Zambia.
#41 You ve hammered the nail on the head.thats why the best way forward for zambia is HH. For real and meaningful change.Look at how the kwacha is losing value.soon it will go beyond k5000.00 per usd.
we should not blame ourselves when we chuz our leaders clearlessly and go the zim way!! god forbid
KONSE,KONSE HH HH HH HH
U CANT RECYCLE HUMAN BEINGS.
People, its less than 6 days before we go to the polls. I have been following RB’s campaigns from the time he started. Firstly he advised other leaders to base their campaigns on issues, second he started using his current standing as acting president to influence decisions i.e. fuel and fertiliser prices. Now people when change is needed u can not stop it. Zambians have come out to speak and we should have observed the crowds at Sata’s rallies. While RB is busy publishing Sata’s past marital problems. This time around our eyes are wide open and we are casting our vote on Sata. I know there is a good number of you strongly opposed to the man but among the three, Sata is on track…
RB HAS GOT MASSIVE SUPPORT MWANDI,SHAME FOR OPPOSITION PARTIES THAT ARE FIGHTING A LOSING BATTLE.
Kafue residents please vote out RB. these are promises. NCZ Nitrogen Chemicals will never be openned by MMD because fertilizer is being imported by Maureen kakubo and Magande’s cronies in the name of Miyombo Investiment. They have neglected NCZ to enrich themselves. Liars. RB wont win in Kafue.People have died without getting their dues.Kafue Textiles in shambles pays peanuts even the new steel plant apart from polution also pays peanuts.
Nevers Sekwila when he was fired, KK supported it and said he had put the security of Zambia at risk because of careless talk on DRC – Congo. LPM fired him and regretted appointing him as Vice President. Mwanga was dismissed for incompetence same with Chitala. Now these are the people that have surrounded Nyama Soya Sugar Daddy. RB Out. Fit only for Big Brother show because can be allowed to sleep and dream!!!!!!!
I have just realised that every where I go with RB I can’t find better words to preach about except for “only MMD has enough MPs to form Govt.” seems ndefwaya kushinga butter to the electorate. don’t you think so. even if HH or Sata bring in good ideas as MMD and my Party We’ll shoot them down at the expense of poor and digrantled Zambians.”How you like me now”
Future zed ndiwe cimukali!thats proper analysis.
It seems R.B is making last minute gasps to catch up with the front runner but alas so much ground has been lost and no amount of tactics will rescue him. I was in his company on thursday when he campained in Mumbwa where the small crowd was mainly children, in Chisamba only a few number of people turned up such that he was even discouraged to address the gathering in Chibombo where i feel the number was fair as compared to the gathering he opted to address in Kabwe. And in all places we passed we were being greeted with the pabwato or amaka symbol.
‘I will not revenge’, says RB in the Times of Zambia. Hello, Zambians, what are the priorities in Zambia right now. I am so convinced that not even Levy knew what was suppose to be first on his table in state house, or maybe he put it up for later. I don’t think RB gets it too. HOSPITALS ARE #1. What would happen if RB had to collapse at his next campaign? He won’t be rushed to UTH, he will be flown out. Ask yourself what would happen you as a supportor of RB attending a rally and tax payer if had to collapse. You will be rushed to a hospital with no proper equipments. VOTE WISELY
guyz learn to think dont show your arrogance on this fora,,,,, wake up
Well said RB 72, congratulations this sounds you know who wants what.But the way you sell yourself, this does not help because you keep talking about the number of MPs you have that will help govern Zedians.
This has come at a late stage, you cannot be a good leader because of these guys that are surrounding you,they are smelling corruption and only the court will prove them wrong.
Viva H H, he hates corruption and will prosecute those that are wanting.
Vote HH
Actually we must have a constitution that can bar people who do not want to uphold Zambia as a Christian nation.I am saying no to Islam.I am saying no to rigging ,I am saying no to empty promises,I am saying no to immature hh and I am saying no to violence.Viva Banda.His honour RB can even solve the global financial crisis if voted into office.
Sata will be president and we will move on. RB why didnt you develop Kafue when you were VP. What difference can you make now. Please lets change the way we do politics in Zambia. Please!!! Please!!!!
weluzani just keep it to yourself you can neva win anything
It is so interesting to hear views of so mo many of you guys out there.listen to me now.As a peace and sound economic loving Zambian, i would advice you all to consinder these candidates on merit.
1.mr banda is a good leader but he is surely too old for the job.its true he doses off sometimes,presidence demands all energy and vigillance.
2.mr Sata. i like and admire his vigour and energy towards objectives and gaols, however,his decisions are sometimes (many)too risk to go by.He realy take no time to think over neither does he regard advice to be important.His economical promises are baseless.”More money in your pocket” how? from where?
3.H.H The man is sound and knowllegable.think twice
@#10 Its s true Rupiah gas woken up a his fellow sleepy dungs because he too was just plucked from some farm in EP to please the easterners.
So no surprise as such!!!
#77 BIN LOZI. Your understanding of world economics is absurd. You seem oblivious to this world recession period. You also don’t realise that the election coupled with the careless statements being attributed to some desperate candidates is having a negative impact on the Kwacha. How do you expect an investor to keep their money in a country where the rule of law will be non existent if candidates like Sata who want to be at the helm till 2013 and beyond AT ANY COST…RB IS THE ONLY LOGICAL CHOICE RIGHT NOW. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT OTHERS WILL SENSE.
vote RB
vote for ba RB
At the rate Sata is going, i seriously dont see him losing these elections. He was in Ndola yesterday and you should have seen the people that attended. People just love the Man. Here on the CB, Rupiah will do worse than levy did come 30th
i’m having problems accessing the post. i think there change to the new arrangement has been disastrous. someone help me get my money back before it is re-invested in zambian airways.
It is true that between SATA and RB, RB is better. But the Best is stil on the table HH.Read their manifesto, hear him articulate the economical Zambia he wants to bring, no doubt that the best is available.why waste time on the second best.
Let us vote wisely to bring groly to our country zambia.
i wish such promises come at the right time……no matter how much you promise, mr RB you are so gone. Ba nevers and nawakwi, concentrate on what you can do best. your integrity as disappeared. uluse……..mwamukolo che………….the boat is coming with force. we need serious people. when they say something things happen. not sleepy people and people wo are theoritical. out in 5days cant wait.
vote pa bwatoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
rb is in trouble have the post …………….
pabwatoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
# 41 I think the food for thought for you is to shut up and for a moment think before you blog. I have one for you. when was the last time you used your kanongobility constructively???
Me I am Old, I am just trying my luck. If you want development you should vote for for HH. Me and Mr SAta are old men. The real staff is in HH.
So Go HH HH,HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HH HH Strong and Vibrant.
HH for president.
#78 / 95 only 3,900 000 are registered voters please do not think
or see crowds at public rallies,Most of them are mere listners.in fact the best way to campangn for 2011 for parties like UPND & PF is now till 2011 bcoz apa pena tabaka imyange plot one ya kwa RB.
take a leaf from FDD/UNIP/ULP.
#96 No worries for you, they are fundraising if you did’nt know. The Post is getting K25,000,000.00 everyday to cover Sata. Know also that the people doing the colour separation for them have whispered how they are doctoring their images. BELIEVE IT OR NOT..NI RB Chabeeee.
I wanted to vote for HH but think I will vote for RB and these are my reasons.
1. HH is very good but he can’t win hence my vote won’t make a difference.
2. Mmembe and his Post will become big headed. He will brag that he can determine who goes to State House and he will continue wirting trash because he will have PF in his pockets.
3. Sata’s Cabinet will never be representative of this country. It will be 1% Whites, 1% colours and 98% bembas
3. Since he wont be able to pass laws in Parliament, he will be passing “laws” in State house
How can sata sink so low to be bribed by the post. That link between sata, post and zambian airline is just foolish. It stinks.
Zo-ona utupoto mu government natupwalala pa Z.Just imagine first lupiya ati me i will stand as a president,Nawakwi na ka nevas(alikupika ichipingo uyu mukukulu)nabo ba gega ati nyapapene eh chance.Fili okotuleya fikaisova.nipabwatoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo banefye
Let use vote for RB and these are some of the reasons why.
1. HH is good, very good but the way things are, he can win
2. Mmembe and his post will become big headed. He will be bragging that he can determine who goes to State House and he will continue to write shit because he will have PF in his pocket.
3. Sata’s cabinet will never be representative of our great nation. It will be 1% whites, 1% coloured and 98% Bembas.
4. Non of his bills will be passed in Parliament hence he will be doing things on his own like determining who should be beaten.
5. Since his campaign has been based on hate, he will implement that and remember in very war there is collateral damage. Vote RB
You don’t believe me? Just look at their front page pictures of Sata’s so called massive rallies. Do you realise that the Post is depicting a wrong picture that may cause problems when sata loses next week by a big margin? See the difference in perspective between Sata and HH pictures. Mmeembe and post shud be cited for corruption, blatant daylight corruption after these elections. Do you know what computer graphics can do?
vote for RB
Vote RB
Just imagine PF winning, Mmembe and his post will become big headed. He will be bragging that he can determine who goes to State House and he will continue to write shit because he will have PF in his pocket.
I tell Sata is winning. HH should not give up. See how Sata started in 2001, we were even laughing at him. But the man never gave up. 2006 still he never gave up and now the boat is crossing. So HH should learn from the cobra and all those supporting should not be short sighted like Sikota and the over zealous pastor Nervers.
By the way Nawakwi are you still staying with the man you grabbed from freind?
Today’s Post picture on Sata rally as expected has been exageratingly doctored. Look at it closely and you will see that. The guysz who did the color separation left you guysz clues to follow. Look at it closely.,
Do lose momentum RB, we are behind you. Making noise is not our strategy but surprise attack on 30 October. We want a party that is able to form a represenative cabinet.

Hi bloggers, I find ZIZI and Pragmatist idealists with no vision. They are two blind men walking and pretending they can see. They bump agaist all sort of things and accuse these items of having come in there way. or is it a man who drinks Kachasu or ilicit lituku and accuses the ground of rising and hit him on the forehead every time he falls flat in his face. You 2 are hoping by rubbing it in the mood of the bloggers who may not vote but are against your Nya…. so.. Akulumpuno will change and will stop being critical of Akulumpuno. The Zambians have decided like they did in 1991.
Bwezan mitengo Banda your group is cheeting u they are not even campagning 4 u, chumbwe is right & Dr Munkombwe. `U` are in tatazi. u can`t c.Who is advising this nose please? otherwise cycle awina. i think he will even be beating his ministers if they do not work to his satisfaction, and u think that will bring development.
#41 you are such a blatant racist. I thought Zambians were beyond such useless racists rants. Come on man, you can do better that. Who tells you that a muzungu man or better still a colored (Lubinda or Obama) cannot ascend to the highest reigns of this country or has no brains to run a simple and third world country like zambia? Think before you bark.
Sata’s cabinet: 1% whites, 1% coloured, 98% bembas. Ha..very representative of Zambia, my foot
#116 I think your thinking is unclassified, thats below way average.
IT’S ONLY YOUR NOSE WHICH IS INTACT + YOUR TRIBAL, REGIONAL, BRIBERY, CORRUPTION, ETC WHICH ARE INTACT, BWANA.
NEVERS MUMBA HAS NO PRINCIPLES WHATSOEVER.
The oldest tyre on the car will creak more than the others. If the fish overstays it’s time out of water, it dies and begins to stink! Long service is not always an advantage. Think about it and vote wisely next week!
UNIP: 1964 – 1992 28 years!
MMD: 1992 – 2008 16 years!

#121,122 Anonymous, helpful score-chart. Here’s my analysis, not that useful anyhow since I’m not able to vote. I wish I could vote on-line like the Americans do (TDE System).
RB: 6, Sata: 7, HH: 9
Note: I really feel HH is the best choice but it’s his own tribesmen who will run his ambition into disaster. I fear that he will be forced to please them if elected and this will bring tribal tensions in Zambia.
Opinion poll condcuted by a Bemba – Benson Bwalya suggest that Sata will win by 46%. Anti -Rigging Zambia is run by northerners Kelvin Bwalya Fube and former Evans Musendo now Kaluba Simuyemba. Fellow Zambians, is our country only going to be ruled by northerners only. Look at their calculated tribal orgnisation! Lets stand up this time and make sure that a northerner does not win!!! Lets vote on tribal lines as well. Abash Bembalisation!!!!!!
PPPPPAAABBBWWWAAAATOOO
sSSSSoooRRRYYYYyyyy
Pankolokoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
Chwechwechwechweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Anyone who will take to the street after our victory will be met by a bullet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why RB promises Kafue Nitrogen Chemicals today since problems were created by MMD and up to now it has failled to resolve the issue. Don’t trust him, he just wants a vote. Reducing prices of fertiler is tantamount to roots of corruption, abuse & vote buying. Connection of Chiluba & RB in the compaign must have an agenda behind. RB is the waste candidate and not fit for presidence.

A POLITICAL ADVERT BY MMD LAST EVENING SHOWED MR.SATA BEING INTERVIEWED ON TV SAYING JOURNALISTS HEAD SHOULD BE PANEL BITTEN. OOOH! THIS MAN IS VERY ARROGANT HE WILL BE A GOOD DICTATOR.POOR COURTESY TO OTHERS. HE WILL RULE WITH AN IRON FIST COZ HE SEEM TO KNOW EVERYTHING
Nevers Mumba seems more a man of Gold than of God.
#92 That makes sense!!
#135 this is the same firm which conducted the opinion poll in 2006 and they sugested that Levy would win and he did win and still then it was run by nothernrs so what are you saying stop being tribal and be realistic if Sata’s time has come then it has come there is nothing totally nothing you can do to stop mwamukolo.
# 135 in 2006 it was Neo Simutami not this Bemba PF cadre!!!
Any which way Sata will not rule even if it means shedding blood, Bemba supremacy will not be accepted this time, let other regions rule as well. Its either HH or RB. Zambia is not for northerners alone!!!!!
I dont subscribe to that useless poll, they dont work in in Africa
Sata and his group are just kaponyas with no clear vision for zambia.Come 30th his boat is sinking with no survivors. Vote RB
BA BANDA JUST TAKE CARE OF THAT GRANDCHILD OF YOURS (WIFE)AND STOP TALKING ABOUT ALL THE FAKE PROMISES….JUST AFTER CHEWING YOUR MONEY THAT KA GRANDCHILD OF YOURS WILL RUN AWAY FROM YOU AND GET SOMEONE OF HER AGE WHO SHE WILL LOVE TRUTHFULLY…ANYWAY YOU HAVE USED THE KA YOUNG GIRL ENOUGH,LET GO OF HER!!!!!!!!!!!VIVA PF
VOTE HH.
The die is cast! All PF Cadres in Zambia and beyond we v won these elections and am appealing to all of you to behave in a stately manner till our president, H. E Micheal Chilufya S ata addresses the nation. Cyber-cadre.(november 3 2008
#107, just think about it.All the points are genuine, but you have to reconsider point number 1.
The other three Sata and RB72 are too Old in the Zed politics “during Rhodesian times” and we should look at the new era you and me.
Do not change at teh last minute your vote is very important for H H.
Vote for H H to change the old Rhodesian times
Its good that a Kaponya is winning this election. Atleast even the poor of this country will have a voice in government unlike in the past when this voice was in Opposition.
Please our chief Kaponya as people want to make us believe, please dont forget to take care of us because you have been our voice from the other side for too long.
Now we want you there to get things done because we know you are a hard worker
Viva HH. For us our candidate is HH as he is the best. He doesn’t belong to some political museum like Satan and Bwezani.
i really feel so sorry for such PPs(Political Prostitutes) or PHs(Political Whores) like Sikota,Nawakwi,Nevers, and many others…
I’ll accept poll results, says RB
ubwatoooooooooooooooooooooo chabeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee that´s oooooooooo if zambia should change
ba #12 lazo can you leave gay alone, ati ba man of GOD he failed to mentor Dan pule buchilalelale, now you tell us that he is a man of GOD on what basis, come on chaps be knowledgeable how do you 4get so soon, the chap was fired for being a man of wrong doing………
nevers is now supporting RB he thinks that when RB wins he will be elected as his vice.See how the love of power can do to you, nevers at one time seen as one of zambia’s greatest pastor is now chasing for wealth and riches.
The Post and PF are using the weapon of propaganda and deceit to consolidate or shift influence through manipulation of information and perception. PF is doing this through intimidation, noise making (Kamponyas, taxi and bus drivers and conductors). The Post is consistently ignoring the success stories of HH and RB because covering them would upset the notion they have impacted on peoples minds that Sata is popular through out the country. A news service that is consistently working in this way abrogates the trust placed into it by the people. Every Zambian through reliable news services has a right to learn about the menace that threatens his/her future, home and children and above all pe
# 140 and 135 stop this crap about bemba ponopono thing you guys are so pathetic,can a normal individual go to such an extent of resoning coz of your hate of other people based on tribe.Spare some us who take every zambian as a brother or a sister to see your shit and we dont mind who will be elected as it will just be a true reflection of the majority peoples choice.Damn
Viva whoever will win,whether white,yellow,green,black,southerner,northener,westerner,tonga,bemba,luvale,nsenga or whatever, for me tribe and colour plays no role as i judge people by their abilities afterall nobody chooces to be born what they are born.May the best candidate choosen by the people win
#155 Reality is that the only time a person’s tribe, colour or creed doesn’t play a role and he is judged by his ability is when he’s 6ft under the ground! Welcome to the Human Race!
Good point # 156 but i think it is not too late for the human race to change and put quality first(ability to make well calculated dicisions)
I meant # 157
take it or leave it RB is losing and he should not blame anyone but himself how does one choose to eat vomits when there is an option of a better meal. what i mean is RB sorounded himself with crooks,chalatans,corrupt,but this does not surprise me birds of a further fly together Rb is corrupt and he has done this with impunity publicly. so all you fools who support him u dont think stop eating nyama soya when this guy wins we are goin back to where chiluba put zambia. Rb has no vision,agenda but a band of corrupt people and schemes,opportunists and job seekers who can do anything to get to plot one. that why he was showing those achives about sata coz he has no vision. levy never did that
levy never used achives of sata to wire him in 2006 he sold what he had done and was able to do for zambians thats why people votted for him. some of you who dont understand things dont just throw comments coz you are just expossing your emptiness. the post is doing a good job one thing i like about them they cant be bot,they dont write without facts. if they say you are a thief they can prove it anywhere,leave them out of politics they are doing a good job. from what i see Rb is in for rude shock with the out come. i join HH saying Rupia cant win without rigging so all *****s supporting are dishonest people and thieves who are not ashamed of it take or leave it RB,kuyabebebele
#160,161 complain if u wan………you speak a lot of sense.i agree with you 101%.Things are not well in RB camp.Latest opinion polls state that MMD is losing the election(POST NEWSPAPER). Steadman Group carried out a poll in 2006 and results were that LPM would carry the day,which he did.Let not anyone say that this coming from the POST Newspaper coz they are merely reporting what is/has transpired…the problem is that people are living in denial…CHACHINE MMD KUYABEBELE..WE ARE TIRED OF YOU!!!
Lets not vote for the sinking boat,grade six!The clock tiks all the time and FTJ is in Mansa 4 RB.lets vote for RB because he has shown a lot of maturity and despite unfavourable coverage the man is yet to be above all odds.tisungeko chalo nasewo,bantu bamu Zed pls lets give the man RB a chance!Sata is unpredictable,we might be heading for doom,he can do anything 4 him to be president,the Post does not know tha Sata doesnt need them,its them who need him,they are digging there own grave by supporting Sata.HH is good maybe the best,he should stop insulting elders,he’s is 2011.let RB complete where Levy left.Zedians lets support RB!
“Rupiah Mubwezeni Kumudzi Banda “
All of you know to well that MMD is split and that from an MMD minister. Its not the same… Bwezani has a lot of work to do restoring that party rythm which means no continuity..
I say we become real, objective and see the truth… there is no continuity this is a new page….and lets not stain it…
Lets look in our hearts and minds and see that Zambia’s best chance at flying again is in one Hakainde…..
Hakainde For President
VOTE RB FOR NOW BUT 2011,THERE IS NEED FOR CHANGE.ANOTHER POLITICAL PARTY SHOULD RULE…
